Members of the Air Line Pilots Association and the Union of Flight Attendants walked off their jobs Saturday to protest drastic pay cuts and longer work hours implemented after Con tinental filed for bankruptcy Sept. 24. “The employees made Con tinental Airlines and we are con cerned about this current group if managers that seem to be bent staff photo by Guy HooJ on making a mess out of it,” Gary Thomas, an Air Line Pilots Association spokesman in Hous ton, said. “The irresponsible party here seems to be our man agement.” Bruce Miller, a Continental Airlines spokesman in Houston, said the strike was having minimal effects early Sunday. Seven flights from hubs to outlying cities were cancelled late Saturday, leaving no planes in the smaller cities for return flights Sunday morning, he said. However, he expected Sunday flights from the hubs to pick up the cycle again. More than 100 pilots and flight attendants manned picket lines in Houston. Pickets lines were also set up in several other cities, union spokesmen said. Henno “Kiv” Kiviranna, acting vice chairman of Denver Continental Council of the Air Line Pilots Association, said the strike effort seemed to be draw ing more support from pilots. But Thomas said conditions could worsen early this week as the pilots who choose to work hit the federally-mandated max imum of 30 hours of flight time in a seven day period. “They (managers) are going to be running out of people shortly because the people that they’ve got flying are going to be running out of their maximum time under FAA regulations,” he said. “The operation is just going to start winding down be cause folks are going to be run ning out of time.” Miller dismissed that charge. “We have more than an ample supply of pilots in reserve so that if an individual pilot reaches the maximum number of hours in a week we can use others,” Miller said.

It's (| type of government that is used in 96 percent of Texas cities, in cluding College Station, Dallas and San Antonio. The council-manager system works much like the structure of a corporation. An elected seven- member city council — similar to a corporation’s board of direc tors — hires a full-time city man ager, who serves as the city’s chief executive. The slide show explains the roles of the city officials under this system. The mayor repre sents the city and presides over the city council. The council establishes policy and the mana ger executes it. The council makes laws and ordinances, sets tax rates, bor rows funds, represents citizens and evaluates services. The manager enforces laws and ordi nances, prepares and adminis ters the annual budget and appoints heads of city depart ments. The slide show, written by Halter and produced by the Public Works Resource Center at Texas A&M, illustrates the council-manager system with charts and photographs. When approved by the Texas City Managers Association, which funded it, it will be used for pub lic education in the state. The luncheon seminar attracted several questioners from the community who asked about College Station’s need for its own public library, about the Community Center’s financial position and about the sale of the old city hall. Halter said a committee that studied library use found no clear need for a College Station city library. Young students use their school libraries, older stu dents use Texas A&M’s Sterling C. Evans Library and other citizens use the Bryan Public Library and its bookmobile ser vice. United Press International LUBBOCK — The Texas Tech Livestock Pavilion — which has housed everything from basketball games to lives tock shows — received a historic al plaque from the Texas Histor ical Commission Friday. University officials said the pavilion is one of Tech’s smallest buildings. It was one of the ori ginal buildings when the school opened in 1925. “The building remains a fit ting symbol of the impact made by Texas Tech University on Texas and even world agricul ture,” Agricultural Science Dean Sam Curl said.

Halter said the city has an agreement to sell the old city hall on Church Street to Stage Cen ter, a local drama group which plans to remodel it into a 244- seat performing arts center.

It is midnight, and Mr. and Mrs. Multihousing resident hear the patter of tiny feet. The trouble is, they do not have any children. What they may have are cockroaches or any number of nasty critters that can plague a multihousing community. Pests are present in direct proportion to the population, which means that an apartment commmunity is a natural hunting ground for everything from carpet beetles to scor pions. What is an Ag to do? Here is a list of helpful hints: 1) Remember not to store grocery bags and soft drink car tons without first inspecting them for roach eggs in the creases and folds. 2) Leaving doorsfopen, even if you are coming right back in or going right back out, is an open invitation to unwanted pests. 3) Keep flour, sugar, and other staples in tightly sealed containers since loosely packaged foods attract pests. 4) Since roaches come out at night, piling dirty dishes in the sink overnight is like putting up a neon sign saying, “Come and - Get it!” 5) This one is most horrifying because it is not obvious: Roaches love toothpaste. Be sure to screw the cap back on the tube tightly, and wipe off any excess paste. Wash your tooth brush carefully. WHAT’S BUGGING YOU? 6) Be sure not to store dirty clothing with the idea of having it cleaned in the spring-you will probably find it infested and damaged. 7) Most important of all, never leave garbage in the apart ment overnight. Put it in a tightly sealed bag and carry it to the proper disposal place before you go to bed. If your apartment complex does not have a regular pest control service or, if these preventative measures fail to dis courage the development of pest problems, turn in a WRIT TEN NOTICE to your apartment manager requesting that your apartment be exterminated. If you are looking for ways to get involved, or an easy way to find answers to your questions about off campus students services, contact your Apartment President.

In addition, the owner will not be held responsible for damages unless negligence is found. Therefore, it is wise to consider pur - chasing a Tenant’s Insurance Policy. Such policies are usually inexpensive when compared to the protection they provide. For more information, contact the Off Campus Center in Puryear Hall. Our phone number is 845-1741. lip y -Jll t
