The 7th Annual Texas A&M
Marathon races will begin this
Saturday morning with an ex
pected 344 runners participat
ing, race director Rusty Higham
said.
The races will begin at 7 a.m.
next to the Health and Physical
Education Administration
Office on Houston Street and
finish inside Kyle Field.
The marathons are co
sponsored by the Texas A&M
Chapter of Phi Epsilon Kappa,
the health and physical educa
tion honor society, and the
Texas A&M Health and Physical
Education Department.
Higham said the first finisher
in the Quarter Marathon, which
is a distance of 6.55 miles,
should reach Kyle Field around
7:45 a.m. The Half Marathon,
13.1 miles, should finish at
approximately 8:10 a.m., and
the final 26.22 mile race, the Full
Marathon, will end near 9:45
a.m.
“There will be a simultaneous
start for all three races, and we
encourage spectators to be in the
stands at'Kyle Field to cheer on
the runners,” Higham said. An
awards ceremony will be in De
ware Field House starting at
12:30 p.m. Saturday.
He said the course is a flat,
concrete and asphalt-surfaced
route that is extra wide to
accommodate the large group.
Medical personnel will be sta
tioned throughout the course.
Dr. Duane Lagan will be the
physician on duty at the finish
line, Higham said. Members of
the Texas A&M Emergency
Care Team will be located
throughout the course to work
in conjunction with the aid sta
tion personnel.
“The marathon has been
made into a reality this year by
the hard work done by members
of Phi Epsilon Kappa and the
aerobic running classes at Texas
A&M, along with the Depart
ment of Health and Physical
Education,” Higham said.
Runners who registered by
l he March 21 deadline can pick
up their information packets at
Deware Field House from 6 to 9.
Runners who still wish to enter
the marathon can do so at that
time for a fee of $12.
There will also be a race-day
registration from 5:45 to 6:45
a.m. at a cost of $15.
Separation sought
for Siamese twins
United Press International
EL PASO — Separate heart
beats and possibly separate brea
thing systems have encouraged
doctors at Providence Memorial
Hospital that Siamese twins
born there earlier this week can
be separated.
Dr. Richard Heath, the
pediatrician who is caring for
the twins, said Wednesday the
twins have separate heartbeats
and appear to be breathing
separately.
Providence spokesman Gary
Conwell said a decision on an
operation for the twins would be
made Thursday, depending on
the outcome of additional tests
to determine if the babies’ vital
organs are joined.
The twins were born Sunday
night at Newark Mdthodist
Maternity Hospital and within a
few hours of birth were transfer
red to the intensive care unit of
Providence. They are joined
from the breastbone to the
navel.
Father of the twins, Raul Her
nandez, 27, said he and his wife
are not prepared to pay exten
sive medical bills, but have been
assured by hospital officials they
would not be charged for the
separation operations.

On the subject of bonfire, all
Hie candidates agreed that
' “tty'would try to keep bonfire
a campus if at all possible.
Forman and Billings said that
i ic ultimate decision about what

ild the leaders in Student Gov-
nment should listen to what
le students have to say about
ions dorm* future of bonfire and make

jarltinglo Nussbaum and Jordan said
le redpots should have the

id its future because t hey know
ic most about it. They also
; .. ^Treed that if bonfire had to be
* ; ^ mved from Duncan, field that
indent Government should be
^ 6x1516 about it and try to find
ic next best place for bonfire.
Friedman said that students
ave lost their perspective on
in fire. Bonfire started out
asaTexaspkll, yet it had the same mean-
have coslig for students then as it does
let than low, he said.

Wolff said decisions about
bonfire needed to be made by
someone who can communicate
with the University administra
tion.
The topic of crime awareness
brought a variety of responses
from the candidates.
Jordan said the main problem
with crime at Texas A&M is a
lack of awareness. Programs
that work with the Residence
Hall Association and the Corps
as well as escort services, he said,
are a step in the right direction.
Friedman agreed that more
escort servies would help the
problem of crime. The main
problem, he said, is that there is
an illusion of safety on this cam
pus. He also said the fact the the
University Police is understaf
fed and underpaid contributed
to the crime problem.
Nussbaum said the crime
solution instead of the crime
problem needed to be addres
sed. More new lock systems for
the dorms, better lighting on
campus and making students
more aware of crime are some
solutions he offered for the
crime problem.
Wolff said the University
Police has not been able to keep
up with the growing crime here.
Expansion of the department
will be one of the most effective
ways to curb crime, he said.
Billings agreed that the Uni
versity Police could not keep up
with crime here, but he said that
is because they don’t patrol
enough on campus, on foot.
S'l think they should get out of
those new Blazers they got and
walk around campus instead of
just issuing parking and speed
ing tickets,” Billings said.
He also said he doesn’t think
the escort service is effective be
cause it isn’t used by many
women on campus.
Forman said students should
become more aware of the crime
rate here so they can better
understand how to prevent it.
