Bar- Ifios, who was escorted across the finish line by bicycle rider Tim Stephens, placed first with a time of 30 minutes, 21 seconds. | Leslie Sandt, a senior exercise technology major from Midland, ■ Michigan, was the overall winner in the women’s division. Sandt won her division with a time of 40 minutes, 37 seconds. 1 Richard Dardenne, manager of Champs Sporting Goods, said alnout 185 people ranging in age from 12 to 62 years old partici pated in the race. The contestants were divided into 14 divisions Based on age and sex, with first, second, and third place prizes awarded in each division, he said. 1 The race began and ended at the south end of Post Oak Mall, near the Sears Service Center. Three aid stations were set up along the race course, and offi cials “called splits,” marking the one, three, and five kilometer points for runners who wanted to pace themselves, Dardenne said. In addition to the aid stations, emergency medical technicians from Texas A&M and two Col lege Station police officers were present, Dardenne said. Sandt said the race course was well arranged, and contestants had no problems with traffic. “It went real good, it’s just the hills that kill you,” sindt said. “I just kept telling myself, ‘it’s the last one, it’s the last one’.” One contestant decided not to run the entire race. Scott Schnei der, a 27-year-old wheelchair ath lete from Houston, did not com plete the race because his wheelchair was not equipped to navigate hills. “I went out there and did the first split,” Schneider said. “But I decided not to go on because I had sawed off my steering rods.” Schneider participated in the Wheelchair Olympics in June, winning a bronze medal in discus throwing, a silver medal in the 400 meter dash, and a gold medal in the 100 meter dash. During the Olympics, Schneider and the other American athletes had to remove their wheelchair steering rods because other competitors’ wheelchairs were not equipped with the device, he said. Schneider, a muscular dystro phy victim, said he was an able- bodied athlete for many years. At age 14, he was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy, and at age 21, he played his last tennis tour nament. About three years ago, Schnei der said, he began playing wheel chair sports, including basketball, soccer and track and field games. Schneider participated in his first national meet last year. He also participates in MDA money-rais ing events, he said. “I thought I would come out today and thank everyone for raising money for MDA,” Schnei der said. About $1,500 was raised through entry fees, Dardenne said. All proceeds will go to MDA, he said. Rusty Higham, a health and physical education instructor at Texas A&M, served as race direc tor, Dardenne said, and the Texas A&M cross-country team entered the race. However, Dar denne said he had hoped for more participation from A&M students. “There were not nearly as many (students) as I expected,” Dardenne said. “But I think the change in game time and the Corps march-in at 9:00 had a lot to do with that.” Saturday’s race was the second race sponsored by Champs and Nike. The race will be an annual event, Dardenne said, and plany are already being made for next year’s race.

' The Interior Department’s latest rmnetals revenue report shows oil production on federal leases was up off the Texas and Louisiana coasts, but gas production showed a slight decline last year. But onshore production was a dif ferent story, particularly in Texas. In Texas, only 2,793 barrels of oil worth $87,752 were removed from federal leases compared to nearly 150,000 barrels the year before. Nat ural gas production also was down at 455,470 MCF worth $2.8 million compared to $4.4 million worth of natural gas the year before. Total revenues — which are shared by the state and federal gov ernments — were only $76,328 com pared to $948,774 the previous year. “The reason is in terms of onshore federal leases, the number in Texas is very small,” said Bob Boldt, the government’s associate di rector for royalty management. “I think there are only 18 or 19 pro ducing federal leases. “This probably means that if you look at both oil and gas, most weren’t in production last year. The picture onshore in Louisiana was much better as 2 million barrels of oil worth $59.1 million were re moved from federal leases in the state, along with 15.4 million MCF of natural jps worth $23.8 million and other minerals worth $6.3 million. All in all, the production spurred $11.3 million in revenues in the state, nearly $2 million more than the previous year. “Right now we have a worldwide slump in the price of oil and gas,” Boldt said. “What that’s causing, particularly in onshore production, is wells are being shut in if they are high-priced and involve deep, hard- to-find oi7 knd gas. Bui offshore, the picture is not quite so grim. Offshore Louisiana, producers re moved 290.8 million barrels of oil and 3 billion MCF of natural gas worth $17.1 billion — producing revenues of $2.6 billion. Off the TexAs coast, producers re moved 19.7 million barrels of oil and 829 million MCF of natural gas with a total market value of $3.1 billion. That produced revenues of $502.5 million. The rest of the nation’s offshore federal lease production occurs off the California coast. AH of the offshore revenue goes into the federal treasury, Boldt said, although a portion involves so-called 8G tracts adjacent to the three-mile limit where the state and federal government are to “fair and equi tably” share the revenues. But the Texas and Louisiana 8G money is going into an escrow ac count pending resolution of lawsuits filed by the two states to increase their shares of the money. hgion [pet'ch spec ress press pro| ly assembly, ■dress redj jgion ■eh spf press Jassembf Id ress redl feligion ref 3eeeh spee< >ss press pro ly assembly YOUR KEY TO HIGHER EDUCATION JJC Memorial Student Center Leadership Positions also available For more information, contact The MSC Endowed Lecture Series at 845-1515 W im an UP aGSV HERE’S THE SCHEDULE FOR YEARBOOK PHOTOS r Freshmen & Sophomores Juniors, Seniors, Grads, Meds, & Vets YEARBOOK ASSOC.
