Med school to sponsor
three races Saturday
Warped
by Elizabeth Hascall
Battalion Reporter
Runners from all over the
community will gather this
Saturday morning to participate
in three races at Texas A&M’s
Medical School.
The Health Run is sponsored
by the Texas Aggie Medical Stu
dent Association and Humana
Hospital.
The races have been divided
into age and sex categories. The
three race lengths are one mile,
10 kilometers and 15 kilometers.
Trophies will be given for first
place in each category and
medallions for second and third.
The first 500 people to enter
the race will be given a doctor’s
scrub shirt with the Health Run
logo on it. More than 300 peo
ple, aged four to 50 have en
tered already, most in the 10
kilometer race.
“The race was designed to
draw attention to the medical
school,” Sandra Sideman,
second year medical student and
co-sponsor of the race, said. The
proceeds of the race will go to
the Texas Aggie Medical Stu
dent Association to help fund
community projects, she said.
Plans for the proceeds in
clude an anti-smoking program
to be presented to elementary
school children, Sideman said.
Several community organiza
tions helped with the race. The
Bryan-College Station Athletic
Federation paid for the advertis
ing, Barbara Weiss, class officer,
said.
The Brazos Valley REACT
and the Bryan Radio Club will be
at the races to help in case of an
emergency.
“We will have an ambulance
there also,” Sideman said.
Humana Hospital in Bryan is
co-sponsoring the race in an
effort to improve community
awareness of good health,
Hr.Cecilia Mclnnis-Bowers of
hospital public relations, said.
The hospital helped the
medical students with the prom
otion by distributing flyers and
posters and running advertise
ments in the local newspapers
and area magazines. The hospit
al also provided the scrub shirts
for the participants.
Registration will close at 8
a.m. and the races will start at-
8:30 a.m.

nationwide recall of abo7t
500,000 boxes of cream-filled
and ice-topped cookies that may
have been exposed to hepatitis
at a bakery in Marietta, Okla.,
the company said Thursday.
“We feel the risk to the con
sumer is very, very minimal.
Since the recall is virtually com
plete, we don’t feel there’s a risk
at all,” said company spokesman
William R. Jenkins.
The recall of the estimated
500,000 boxes of cookies was in
stituted about two weeks ago af-

said.
A worker at a pizza res
taurant near the Marietta Bak

and it was passed on to two bak
ery workers, he said. Cookies re
called were those baked while
the stricken workers were on the
job.
Among the brands recalled
were Busy Baker, Scotch Buy,
Barbara Dee, Country Oven and
Royal Delight.
