To date, about $14 million has been raised, and contributions are running ahead of last year. As of the last IRS count, 27 per cent of those who had filed their 1979 returns have agreed to contribute $1 to the fund, which was added in 1972 to the tax forms. The percentage of taxpayers choosing to contribute has grown steadily each year. <z presents: T exas Attorney General C a-m-S as; • High Quality J*lr**™« Quick Service •NoMintanuns • Large Order* / Ju ■ •LegalSI*«4*AC For Key West citizens, water plentiful — but useless Money OVERNIGHT RATES — U DURING THE DAY Reductions & Dissertations Collation & Binding&PadiBng WE HAVE A XEROX 9400 - THE BEST COPYING MACHINE IN THE WORlDf MARK WHITE Kinko’s Graphics, Inc. 201 College Main St. (7131846-9508 “In Defense of Texas” April 8 12:30 p.m. 601 Rudder Free Barcelona , Your place in the sun, Spacious Apartments with New Carpeting Security guard, well lighted parking areas, close to cam pus and shopping areas, on the shuttle bus route. 700 Dominik, College Station 693-0261 Texas Ave. Battalion Classifieds Call 845-2611 JSC Whataburger 6 ■1 s BARCELONA 4&M Golf Course United Press International KEY WEST, Fla. — Lee Taylor put her head under the shower spray, added the shampoo to her long hair and worked up a great lather. Then the water stopped. Key West, with salt water every where, is having a sweet water shor tage. And it got worse for Miss Taylor. The 27-year-old, seeing the water was back on, decided to dye her hair red. “I was up to my elbows in red dye and getting ready for the rinse. And the water went off again. “I yelled to my boy friend, Ken, to fetch some drinking water from the kitchen so I could escape the dye. He tried. Ken came running from the kitchen, too fast. “His foot hit the hall comer and he broke a little toe and the water went splashing. Ah, the glamor of Key West,” she said. The island is America’s south ernmost point. It is at the end of a 150-mile chain of islands, connected to Miami by a two-lane highway. Sweet water comes harder than tour ists.

Key West’s water comes from a pipeline that has trickled at times, a reverse osmosis plant that filters bad water into good but has broken down late ly, and a desalinization plant that has had so many recent problems in pro viding ocean water without salt that it is now referred to in Duval Street as the destalinization plant. It is worrisome to a community that largely lives by comforting tour ists. The March water trickle got so bad that some motels had to shut rooms above the ground floor. And Ed Jackson, one of the water supply officials, said things could get so bad that Key Westers might have to suck mud. Key West definitely knows it h^s the dry heaves. Waitresses patriotic ally wait to be asked before setting out glasses of water. But there is no panic in Duval Street. Elwood Carbonell, who has lived in Key West all his 78 years, sat in his garden in 80-degree sunshine and said maybe too many folks were tak ing too many showers. “I sit here very quietly and don’t use much water. I take a bath once a week. If you really get the yen, you can always go swimming. Too many showers might mean water ration ing, like in ’62.” He smiled. “Water may not be Key West’s genius. We tend to other liquids.” He had shared a bar with the late Ernest Hemingway when that writer lived and drank here. “It was whis key and beer. Water was not held in much esteem,” he said.

But “astronomical calculations confirmed a partial eclipse of tie moon did occur on the evening of April 3 in the year 33,” Kaufmanis said.
