Krueger Hall has been named Hall of The Year
for 1980-81 by the Residence Hall Association’s
executive council.
Kaelyn Cook, Krueger Hall Council Presi
dent, said although many criteria are used in the
selection process, Krueger’s chili cookoff was
probably the biggest public service project spon
sored by the hall. The project, in which 28 teams
competed, raised $1,541 to benefit the Brazos
County Humane Society and the construction of
an animal shelter.
"We like the halls to be active in the commun
ity,” RHA Adviser Nolen Mears said.
Diversity of hall activities, participation in
intramural athletics and bonfire and effectiveness
of hall councils are other considerations used in
selecting the winner.
Participation in hall activities is another large
factor, Mears said.
Krueger received one plaque which the hall
will be allowed to keep and another which they
will hold for a year before it goes to next year’s
outstanding hall.
Mears said there was no runner-up chosen for
the Hall of The Year award because there were
some complaints that a runner-up diminished the
importance of the award. “We wanted to get away
from that,” he said.

At its peak employment period
in mid-October, the department
employs about 750 people, 230 of
which are students or part-time
help. Each day. University dining
facilities serve 50,000 meals.
Approximately 9,100 students
are on board plan this semester
and eat in Duncan, Commons or
Sbisa dining halls. Smith said.
During the spring semester, Dun
can is closed on weekends and
Corps members and others
assigned to eat in Duncan eat in
the Commons. Since only about
half the board students are on the
seven-day plan, closing Duncan
on spring weekends saves the de
partment about $80,000 a year.
“To staff three facilities on
weekends for half the value is not
economical,” Smith said.
Unlike Sbisa and the Com
mons, Duncan serves breakfast
and supper “family style” because
the Corps says their family style
meals are very important to their
lifestyle. Smith said. Because
family style service is much more
expensive, Smith said, the variety

Snakebites are avoidable hazard
§t&M meal plan costs less
ban at other universities
of food in Duncan is much more
limited. Each eight-person table
receives a meal consisting of one
meat, one starch, one vegetable, a
dessert, roll and tossed salad. It is
not possible to retain the same
quality as the other dining halls,
Smith said, because all food must
be cooked early and be ready to be
served to 2,000 people at once. In
other dining halls, food is pre
pared constantly.
Due to new dormitories open
ing in ffall 1981, the number of
off-campus students on board plan
will be limited to 600. These off-
campus students will eat in Dun
can, with any reassignments to
Sbisa or the Commons to be made
after Sept. 4, 1981.
The university does all its own
baking in the large central bakery
behind Duncan, Smith said, and
also processes some of its own
meat. University dining facilities
use 50,000 pounds of meat per
week.
The University buys most of its
groceries by bids from wholesale
grocers.

It’s the time of year for getting
back to nature, but don’t let na
ture get back at you.
The most effective way to avoid
snakebite is to learn to identify the
poisonous snakes and leave them
alone. “Most snakes are not
aggressive, and in any case an av
erage person can outrun any
aggressive snake,” said wildlife
specialist Charles Ramsey.
Texas has poisonous snakes that
include species from two families:
pit vipers — rattlesnakes, copper
heads and cottonmouths — and
cobra-like snakes such as the coral
snake.
The fatality rate for people bit
ten by poisonous snakes is low —
less than one percent die of the
average 2,400 bites reported
annually — but it pays to know
what to do if struck, Ramsey said.
If bitten by a poisonous snake
“remain calm and avoid unneces
sary movement,” he said. “The
rate of venom distribution
throughout the body is slower if
the person can remain still and
quiet.”
Being able to identify the poiso
nous snake is an advantage be
cause treatment is determined by
the species of snake. All snake
venom is not the same.
Reactions to snakebites range
from mild to severe and depend
on the size of the victim as well as
the type of snake. A bite is usually
less dangerous to an adult than to a
small child. Mild symptoms in
clude moderate swelling or discol
oration and low to moderate pain
at the bite with tingling sensa
tions, fast pulse, weakness, dim
vision, nausea, vomiting and
shortness of breath.
Severe symptoms include rapid
swelling and numbness, followed
by extreme pain at the bite. Other
effects include pinpoint pupils,
twitching, slurred speech, shock,
convulsions, paralysis, uncon
sciousness and no breathing or
pulse. These require cardiopul
monary resuscitation (CPR) by a
trained person.
For mild to moderate symp
toms, applying a constricting band
two to four inches above the bite
but not around a joint, the head,
neck or trunk, should be enough
until a hospital can be reached.
The band should be about an inch
wide and should be snug enough
so that one finger can slip under
neath. In case of swelling, the
band should be loosened if it be
comes too tight.
For severe symptoms, the
American Red Cross recommends
a constriction band, incisions and
immediate suction.
Cuts should be made along the
long axis of the limb no deeper
than just through the skin and ab
out a half inch long, extending
over the snakebite. Cross-cut inci
sions are not advised.
