However, other area pizza mer chants have noticed little change in their sales this week. Bill Lee, manager of Pizza Express, said his store has been “a little bit busier, but nothing too unusual.” With all the extra pizza being ordered, more help is needed this week in area pizza stores. Derringer said Chanello’s has placed ads in local papers to hire extra help during the finals rush. Dale DeShazo, a Domino’s de livery man, said the store doesn’t hire more people to work during finals, but schedules more regular employees during the week.

A person traveling with a pet from Houston Intercontinental Airport can simply buy a pet ticket from most airlines and cage the pet, Jane Williams of Eastern air lines said. She suggested that the pet’s reservation be made several days in advance. Some smaller pets, such as miniature poodles and cats, may be taken on the plane with the passenger, but must be kept in a cage. Larger animals are flown in the baggage compartment, Wil liams said. If a pet is to travel alone, Aero air freight will take the pet by truck from College Station to Houston Intercontinental, or meet the animal in Houston and bring it back to College Station, Mike Heritage of Aero said. An animal traveling alone from Houston Intercontinental also can travel by air freight, but certain stipulations must first be met. A health certificate no older than 10 days must be submitted to the airline, and it is suggested that the veterinarian signing the certi ficate recommend whether the animal be sedated, Weatherford said. If, at the final destination, the temperature at the airport termin al dock is less than 45 degrees or more than 95 degrees, animals will not be allowed to travel. Also, an animal cannot be kept on the dock for more than four hours, and will be sent to a kennel if it is not picked up within that time. The animal’s cage also must be ventilated on two-thirds of the outer surface, have handles and allow the dog to sit, lie, stand and turn. Heritage said. “The trip must be done in the most humane manner, and we usually find out the animal’s name so that the driver and animal can build a rapport while traveling,” Heritage said. Price depends on the size of the dog. Snyder said she asks pet owners to bring one of the pet’s favorite toys with them. She feeds her boarders their usual food on their familiar schedule, she said. Most kennels have both indoor and outdoor facilities. Many ken nels require proof of the animal’s inoculations, an emergency num ber and veterinarian’s name. Snyder said Texas A&M stu dents own about half of the boar ders she will have for the Christ mas holidays. “If people care enough about an animal to want to house it and take care of it, then it’s a service I can render,” she said. ut^OfX U&i ttt fM Kt. ^otd... 14 Kt. ifetlou* <foH 'tOfiA itsiacGtei. 40.0°° 14 Kt. ifalLuu- tfoltt. fi<d- iittad tfiacalet. 2.7O 00 iamond Room 3731 E. 29th 846-4708 - Bryan 707 Shopping Village ■i i 693-7444—— College Station Nature Calendars imp Colorful 0>e.an f^>ag Animals 4 Toys* Zippared - Fire Engine ,taxi or VW Juggling Cubes /magnetic.backgammon In beautiful + instruct ion book in compact carrying case Nordic patterns Earth Provision i;o.
