Trash party
KKYS sponsors beautification project
Nev\
By MICHAEL CRAWFORD
Senior Stuff Writer
When 5,000 man-hours are re
quired to do something, it’s a big
project. Last year it took almost that
many hours for College Station
Parks and Recreation Department
employees to snatch the litter from
city parks.
It’s statistics like that, which
prompted radio station KKYS-FM to
join Brazos Beautiful Inc. in snatch
ing litter from the city’s streets. This
Saturday, KKYS will end its month
long “Kiss Trash Goodbye” push
with a party at Southwood Athletic
Park on Rock Prairie Road.
And at this party it’s definitely
cool to be trashy. The party begins at
11:30 a.m. and continues until 5
p.m. Live entertainment by The Ex
ecutives will start at 1:30 p.m. F6od
and drinks will be provided free of
charge. Well, almost.
KKYS sponsors ask that everyone
who comes bring a full bag of trash
as an entrance fee. While the people
at KKYS admit that it’s possible to
bring household trash rather than
picked-up trash, they hope citizens
will at least become more aware of
litter in their communities.
“There’s just no way we can con
trol that,” KKYS General Manager
Sam Jones said. “We can’t say, ‘Well,
we’re going to rummage though
your trash.’ Our hope is that people
will be civic-minded and not just
empty their trash bags at home.
“We hope that they’ll go out and if

they see trash in their yard, down

make a conscientious effort to try
and pick it up.”
Skip Bishop, KKYS’s program di
rector, said that while Brazos Coun
ty’s litter problem is mild compared
to other areas, it could be improved
to make the community a better
place to live.
“Your town is sort of like your ho

Supporters of a bill that would al
low Texans to buy everything but a
car on Sundays say they have the
votes to win House approval
Wednesday.
“I think it has a pretty good
chance of passing,” House Speaker
Gib Lewis said of the bill that would
erase the Blue Law, but continue to
bar auto dealers from opening on
Sundays.
Co-sponsor Hugo Berlanga of
Corpus Christi, House speaker pro
tern, said, “I think it looks good.
We’ve got upwards of 90 votes” in
the 150-member House.
“I think on the Senate side
it s
very dose,” he added. “I think the
action on our bill will have an impact
on the Senate side.”
Senate sponsor Ray Farabee, D-
Wichita Falls, has said he is within
“striking distance” of the votes
needed to bring the bill to the Senate
floor.
Bay City Rep. Tom Uher plans to
offer a “little amendment” to the re
peal bill to add a “more modernized
menu as to what items will be pro
hibited from being sold on a Sun
day.”
“Our approach will be represent

concern,” he said. “With both the
