gifts for bonfire,” Goodwin said.
“We’ve had a lot of people who
are interested in participating in
this program.”
The group has been selling
doughnuts in the Academic and
Agency Building to raise funds,
which he said has been fun for
the members, as well as raising
money for the group.
Goodwin said OCA is looking
for other suggestions on how to
raise money for United Way.
OCA is planning a street dance
for Nov. 5 as one money raiser,
he said, but the group would like
other ways to help United Way
with funds.
OCA also is looking for party
suggestions, Goodwin said.
Even though the Fish Contact

apartment council to plan more
parties and other events for off-
campus students.
Todd Ousley, the graduate
assistant for OCA, said that stu
dents who were interested in
helping their apartment com
plex get organized, ran for
council positions.
“Not every complex has a rep
resentative, because it was only
people who were interested in
being a representative that ran,”
he said. “In some complexes no
one was interested.”
Goodwin said he hopes that
since the apartment council will
be working closely with the peo
ple who live in the complexes,
they will be able to plan events
for the students.

UT land in West Texas
possible nuclear waste site
United Press International
AUSTIN — The state will
drill for soil samples this week on
University of Texas System-
owned land in West Texas that is
being considered as a site for a
low-level nuclear waste disposal
facility, officials said Tuesday.
The site is a 640-acre tract in
Hudspeth County, about 20
miles north of Sierra Blanca and
17 miles south of Bell City.
The Texas Low Level
Radioactive Waste Disposal Au
thority is considering several
other sites in the state and is ex
pected to select a final site in De
cember, said Bob Avant, assis
tant general manager.
But Avant said a final deci
sion will not be made until public
hearings are conducted in the
affected county.
The authority is reviewing
elements such as geology, hyd
rology, mineral resources,
population and flooding poten
tial in its study of potential sites.
The 300-acre facility, which
will cost between $10 million
and $12 million, will store low-
level radioactive waste produced
at Texas hospitals, universities,
laboratories and some indus
tries.
While the waste is high in
volume, it is low in specific
radioactivity, said Avant.
The waste consist mainly of
dry compactible solids such as
bedding, gowns, bandages,
biological specimens and some
vials containing small quantities
of low-level radioactive mate
rials.
Billy Carr, surface lands man
ager for the UT System, said the
disposal facility “could produce
new job opportunities and also
have an important economic im
pact on the West Texas area.”
About 30,000 cubic feet of
low-level nuclear waste was pro
duced in Texas in 1982, and
more than 80 percent came
from hospitals, universities and
medical research facilities.
The authority said the prop
osed facility will be designed to
handle 139,000 cubic feet of
waste expected to be generated
annually in Texas from 1990
until 2020.
