Cable television
Friday is last convenient day
By LORI BROOKS
Reporter
If you haven’t signed up for cable
televison in the dorm yet, you can
still sign up after Friday, but it won’t
be as convenient.
Friday is the last day to sign up for
dorm cable TV hookup in the Me
morial Student Center.
Community Cablevision Corp.
and Midwest Video will be in the
MSC Student Lounge Friday until 5
p.m. doing business with students.
Community Cablevision is offer
ing special rates for the Northgate,
Central and Commons areas.
Service includes 11 basic TV
channels including Music Television
and ESPN. Other options include 23
FM channels for stereo hookup at
$21.00, or a combination of the two
for $26.00.
Extra channels include Home Box
Office, The Movie Channel and The
Playboy Channel for $31.00 a semes
ter.
Midwest Video also is offering
special dorm rates. Cable service in
cludes 13 basic TV channels or 23
FM channels for $21.00 or a combi
nation of the two for $26.00.
Students can get Home Box Of
fice or The Movie Channel for
$28.00 each and Satpak for $14.00.
Satpak is the extra channels package
including MTV and ESPN.
Both companies require a $35.00
deposit for the extra channels.
Hookup for Midwest Video cus
tomers should be less than one week
after payment, Steve Beasley, Mid
west Video representative, said.
Community Cable customers can
recieve service within two to three
days of payment if cable hookup
equipment already exists in the
room. If there is no existing hookup,
it could take longer because it is hard
to find people at home, Vincent Ro
sas, Community Cablevision rep
resentative, said Wednesday.
This is the first year Community
Cablevision does not have access to
keys to get into some dorm rooms,
therefore, they have to depend on
students being home.
“What takes long is finding people
at home to hook up the equipment in
the rooms,” Rosas said.
Community Cable will try to meet
with resident advisers once things
settle down and set up appointments
to get into the rooms, Rosas said.
Service crews will be working late in
the afternoons and on weekends in
order to get in touch with residents,
he said.
“All I can tell students is to be pa
tient with us,” he said. “We are work
ing as hard as we can. It is a matter
of finding people at home. We have
several crews working on it, and by
next week we should have some kind
of a system worked out.”
If you miss the company rep
resentatives in the MSC you can go
to the cable offices to sign up. No
one will be signed up over the phone
— you must go in person. Both com
panies will continue the special dorm
prices after today.
Community Cablevision is located
at 3408 Texas Ave. in Bryan. Mid
west Video, at 3609 Texas Ave., is lo
cated in the Ridgecrest Shopping
Center in Bryan.

A 10 kilometer race to benefit the

will begin and end at the Sears Serv
ice Center at Post Oak Mall.
The pre-race entry fee is $7, or

United Press International
WASHINGTON — The U.S.
trade deficit deepened to a record
$14.1 billion in July as American im
porters took advantage of the dol
lar’s strength abroad, the Commerce
Department said Wednesday.
Several records were set. Import
purchases, at $33.5 billion, were the
largest ever, as was a setback in the
trade of manufactured goods and
the deficit with Japan.
Export sales in July were worth
only 119.4 billion, leaving a deficit of
$14.1 billion, which was $1.9 billion
above the last record set in April. It
race will be given to the MDA.
Runners may register for the race
at Champs Sporting Goods in the
Post Oak Mall, or at the Champs
booth in the Memorial Student Cen
ter between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Thursday and Friday.
Richard Dardenne, manager of
Champs and^ the local race orga
nizer, said he expects 200 to 250
people will participate in the race.

“Before we set up the booth to
day, we had maybe 100 (entrants),”
Dardenne said Wednesday. “Right
now we’ve got between 125 and
150.”
Scott Schnider, a wheelchair ath
lete from Houston, will be a partici
pant in the race, Dardenne said.
Schnider won gold, silver and
bronze medals in the Wheelchair
Olympics, Dardenne said.
Women contestants will be di
vided into six age groups and men
will be divided into eight age groups,
Dardenne said. Each of the 14 divi
sions will have first, second and third
place prizes, he said.
All contestants will receive T-
shirts and keychains. Drawings for
10 to 12 door prizes will be held af
ter the race.
new records
was the fifth month this year that a
record has been established.
June’s trade shortfall, at $8.9 bil
lion, looks small in comparison but
still was worse than any month last
year.
White House spokesman Larry
Speakes said the deficit reflects the
strength of our recovery. He pre
dicted other countries will buy more
U.S. goods when their economic re
coveries are in full swing.
But some private economists had
a less rosy view.
“The trade deficit continues to be
an economic disaster that could be as
large as $140 billion this year,” said
Jerry Jasinowski, chief economist for
the National Association of Man
ufacturers. “What is particularly se
rious about the trade deficit is that
an increasing share of it is made up
of greater imports of capital machin
ery and high technology manufac
tured goods.”
National trade in manufactured
goods produced a record deficit of
$10.5 billion in July.
In addition, farmers saw their tra
ditional surplus in food exports
shrink to the smallest ever, $909 mil
lion.
Commerce Secretary Malcolm
Baldrige said the economic slow
down that seems to be under way
could shrink the trade deficits later
this year by curbing the American
appetite for cars, clothing and elec
tronic equipment.
But his department still sees this
year’s deficit reaching $130 billion
and he noted, ‘T he $73.8 billion
deficit for the first seven months of
this year already exceeds the $69.4
billion shortfall for all of 1983.”
Most analysts say the deficit feeds
on high interest rates that make
American goods less competitive by
inflating the dollar unreasonably, a
boon to importers at the expense of
exporters.
