About three quarter of a mil lion dollars is being spent on the project. “It’s a bad situation,” Hodge said, “we didn’t know exactly how much damage there was to the in ner roofing until we tore up the old roof.” The fiberglass insula tion also had to be replaced, Hodge said. The existing roofing is over 10 years old, he said. The foam roof being installed is being used all over campus to replace worn tar and gravel ones, Hodge said. The new roof will last longer and provide better insula tion, thus cutting fuel costs, he said. Unlike other new roofs on cam pus, the one on the Rudder Com plex and MSC will be maroon, he said.

He had all his fireworks confiscated, but we gave him the same amount free when he came back.” Another fireworks salesman, Don Kanulty, says he hasn’t had much trouble with the fire marshal. Safety rules from the Texas Pyro technics Association are posted at all firework stands. Some of their sug gestions are, • Don’t throw lighted fireworks in the direction of any person or build ing. • Don’t fire fireworks out of glass or metal containers, • Keep all fireworks away from mo tor cars, and • Supervise all children using fire works. Food (continued from page 1) many of the ingredients must be chopped and added to them. Washing the hands helps, but the bacteria can also get into the food from the person’s hair or areas of exposed skin, such as the throat. Staphylococcal bacteria thrive on protein, so foods such as meat, poultry and salads containing egg should be especially protected when taken outdoors. Dishes that are usually not heated or reheated before serv ing are the most common sources of food poisoning on a picnic. Mary Sweeten, a University Agri cultural Extension Service Food and Nutrition Specialist, says it shouldn’t be assumed high-pro- tien foods are safe after being kept at room temperature. Parks department initiates program By HOLLY ROBINSON Reporter The College Station Parks and Recreation Department officially be gan its Park Partner program Mon day night by signing up five volun teers. The program is to encourage area families to take an active inter est in neighborhood parks. The volunteers who signed up Monday night join the five who al ready have responded by mail. David Whatley, park superinten dent, said the program should help the City of College Station speed up maintenance and save money. Whatley said Park Partners are needed to report such problems as leaky faucets, fire ants, tall grass or even baby birds who have fallen out of trees. Families or individuals adopt a park in their neighborhood and in spect it regularly to supplement the parks department’s weekly inspec tions. The Park Partner alerts the parks department to maintenance problems, assists in vandalism pre vention and may serve as a represen tative for the families who live near their park. Whatley said vandalism is not a big problem in College Station be cause the community has taken care of the parks. “We have never had a single act of bad vandalism,” he said. Whatley encourages citizens to re port vandalism to either the Parks and Recreation Department or, if the situation is serious, the police de partment. He stressed that Park Partners are not policemen and sus picious behavior should be reported to authorities. Whatley said the Park Partners will encourage interaction between the commmunity and the parks de partment. “Neighborhood groups will have a way to reach us,” he said. Whatley said the program will re sult in better cared-for parks. He said the Park Partners and the Parks Department will work together as a team to help ensure that the neigh borhood parks are kept enjoyable for all residents. Whatley said the program will concentrate on the 13 developed neighborhood parks, but residents can adopt any of the 26 parks in Col lege Station. Anyone who wants to become a Park Partner can call the director of the Parks and Recreation Depart ment. Mondale considers Ferraro United Press International NORTH OAKS, Minn. — Walter Mondale, emerging from a three- hour meeting Monday with New York Rep. Geraldine Ferraro, said she is “clearly in contention” to be come the Democratic vice presi dential candidate. Mondale, under mounting pres sure to select a woman as his run ning mate, told reporters outside his home that the three-term congress- woman is “a truly impressive leader” of the party. “I regard Geraldine Ferraro as qualified and clearly in contention for nomination as vice president,” Mondale said after the meeting, but he made it clear he would not dis close immediately who his final choice would be. Ferraro, who has been pushed by several femminist groups and lead ing party officials for the job, said she would not participate in efforts to block Mondale if he decides against picking a woman. “I would not in any way allow my name to be placed in nomination as a challenge" to Mondale, she told re porters. The National Organization for Women has suggested it may fight Mondale at the Democratic Conven tion if he does not settle on a woman for the national ticket. “I think the women of this coun try would love to see a woman on the ticket,” she said, but added that po litical factors should be considered. Ferraro said that if the selection did not include the potential draw ing power among voters, “I would be not only amazed, but I would be non-supportive. I want this ticket to win.” A survey Monday by United Press International shows that the Queens congresswoman is the dear favorite of Democratic state leaders who want a woman on the national ticket. The poll, in which 85 of the 102 state and District of Columbia leaders participated, found 28 percent want a female running mate. Twenty- three percent favor Sen. Gary Hart of Colorado. Another 23 percent voiced no preference. Among the group wanting to see a woman on the ticket, Ferraro, was endorsed by 45 percent of them. nancy.
