The Texas Department of Aging will distribute the $555,270 for the new plan, Haider said. The funds will be provided by the state and feder al governments with an addi tional 10 percent provided by local governments. Haider said the agency will advertise that the funds are available so local agencies can apply for contracts to provide the services.

COUNTRY LAND COMPANY (713) 468-8501 Local arcade owners claim less popular Video by Yvonne Cuzick Battalion Reporter While the popularity of video arcade games has been strong for over two years now, it may be waning. Some game arcade owners in the area have noticed an in crease in business over the past couple of years. However, the trend has not kept everyone in business and some area arcades have had to close down. Jackie Larson, manager and part-owner of the Aggie Arcade, said her arcade has done much better this summer than it did last summer. Larson attributes her rise in games business to the age bracket her arcade attracts. “We’re an adult arcade,” Lar son said, adding that her cus tomers range from construction workers to lawyers. However, other arcades have not been as lucky as the Aggie Arcade. For instance, Rita Davis, assistant manager of Games Ga lore, said there has been a noticeable decline in business this summer. In fact, the North- gate Games Galore had to close down in May, she said. As for the requests for video arcade games, Florence Wilder of F&F Vending and Tobacco Co., a distributor of video arcade games, said that requests for the games have slacked off some from last summer. Last summer, Wilder said, F&F Vending received about five calls a day for video arcade machines. This summer, the number of requests has declined to about two calls a day. Wilder says the arcade games are taking in about 60 percent less money. One reason for the decline is the fact that the arcade game is just an expensive fad that is wearing off. Wilder said. Larson agrees that the fad games are dropping off but adds that there are some consistently good games, like Galaga, that do not seem to be fad games. In the Aggie Arcade, “Pool seems to be a real stickler,” Lar son said and adds that pinball is on the rise. The Aggie Arcade has a strict behavior code that Larson said has helped keep their business up by attracting a wide variety of customers. Both Larson and Davis expect their business to pick up in the fall when students return from summer vacation. Skills instructors needed by Bill Conaway Battalion Reporter The College Station Parks and Recreation Department needs instructors for its fall activities program. Lillian Robinson, supervisor of the Lincoln Recreation Cen ter, said instructors are needed to teach skills such as sewing and typing. Additional classes are needed for future programs, she said. Classes are created when someone wants to teach a skill. Anyone can teach a class if they have the skills to do so and if there is a demand for the skill to be taught, she said. Robinson, a Texas A&M parks and recreation major, said many of the class instructors are Texas A&M students. Most of them are from the Health and Physical Education Department, Biting bear gets execution reprieve United Press International FORT WORTH — A one toothed bear accused of biting a man who was feeding him ice was given an 11th hour reprieve because the man agreed to voluntarily undergo a series of rabies shots. Puppy, a 5-year-old, 350- pound bear, was scheduled to be destroyed Monday because of the incident, but Randy Lay man, the victim, asked that he be spared, and State District Judge William Hughes agreed. State law requires that anim als who bite humans be des troyed, and their brains analy zed for rabies. Because Layman agreed to undergo the series of six shots, the bear was allowed to live. The incident occurred July 5. “I was feeding the bear some ice,” Layman, 28, said. “I was just going to brush him on the top of the head, and he bit me.” Layman said the bite made him bleed. John and Wanda Morrow have had Puppy, who they keep in a cage in their yard, for five years. “We bought him for a pet,” Mrs. Morrow said. “That’s all he is.” AGGIE KAR KARE Let us care for your car. 100% customer satisfaction.

But most of the adult classes meet after 5 p.m. and end by 9 p.m. The classes usually meet twice a week and last from six to eight weeks. The classes are taught at the Lincoln Recreation Center at 1100 Eleanor Street in College Station. Most of the classes are limited in size for easier instruction. Fees for the classes range from $5.00 to $20.00. Robinson said the deadline for setting up classes for the fall program is Aug. 1. SUdcUt Qcdlesuf emnounezi. a ifzzcLcX sJzoua and i.a£e.
