t fAeBncii.
Haider said the new plan calls
maintaining such current
JSgrams for the elderly as an
information and referral ser
vice, homebound services,
group meals, senior citizen cen
ters, transportation services,
and the senior games.
Homebound services include
assistance by an outreach work
er for those persons who are un
able to leave their homes, a daily
reassurance phone call and a hot
meal, she said.
Haider said the agency is re
quired to provide the plan by the
Texas Department on Aging
under the Older Americans Act
of 1965.
The plan affects 29,419 elder
ly persons living in the Brazos
Valley counties of Leon, Madi

Burleson and Watson, Haider
said.
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. The applications
are reviewed by an advisory
committee of elderly persons.

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.”

she said.
Other classes taught include
aerobic dance, ballet, jazz dance,
karate, tennis and first aid. All
classes are taught at different
levels such as adult, teen and
youth.
The classes are scheduled for
different times throughout the
day. 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.
