However, the final decision on ad mitting a student with AIDS remains up to local school district officials, said Terri Anderson, spokeswoman for the Texas Education Agency. “The general rule of thumb is to keep the child in school if possible,” ide Anderson said. “This doesn’t represent any kind of statewide policy or a mandate. It’s still up the the school district to han dle it nowever they might wish.” There has been controversy in some states over allowing students suffering from acquired immune deficiency syndrome to remain in school. No cases of AIDS or related conditions have been reported in any school-age child in Texas, An derson said. AIDS is a disease that cripples the body’s immune system, leaving the victim vulnerable to infections and other diseases. Doctors say AIDS has been found mostly in homosexuals, abusers of injectable drugs and he mophiliacs. In a joint statement, the Texas Education Agency and the Texas Department of Health released guidelines to schools on handling children with AIDS or AIDS-related conditions. “Children with either AIDS or AIDS-related conditions alone should not pose a risk to other chil dren or staff in a school setting,” the guidelines say. Poultry specialists tell all about the history of turkeys COLLEGE STATION — Tur keys have graced this country’s din ner tables at Thanksgiving for hun dreds of years, but the bird still suffers from image problems, according to poultry specialists at Texas A&M. The turkey may be tasty, but one thing is certain — it isn’t smart, said William O. Cawley, a poultry expert with the Texas Agricultural Exten sion Service headquarters at Texas A&M. Mellor, who also is with the exten sion service. The bird was domesticated by the American Indians before the discov ery of North America in 1492, he said. Spanish explorers took the bird from Mexico to Spain in 1498 and from there the turkey was distrib uted to other parts of Europe. It was brought to England in 1524, Mellor said. “They do strange things. For in stance, younger turkeys are so in quisitive that if you leave an empty bucket in their pen, they’ll all climb in until the bucket fills up,” he said. “The ones at the bottom could smother to death.” “The Europeans may have been confused about the bird’s origin, thinking that it, like the guinea-fowl or peacock, came from Turkey,” he sain. “Soon the name turkey was ap plied only to the bird from Amer- The word turkey — the name Eu ropeans chose for the native Ameri can bird — may stem from the mis taken belief tnat the birds were imported from Turkey, said David Most turkeys found on U.S. tables are hens — as opposed to male birds called toms or gooblers, Cawley said. The average hen is slaughtered when it is about 17 weeks old and eats about 50 pounds of feed during its life span, he said. s pleased with ontj kan culture.

Mosbacher, a Houston business man, lost the 1984 GOP nomination to Sen. Phil Gramm. At the same time, Hance lost the Democratic Senate nomination to Lloyd Dog- gett. Hance, a former congressman from Lubbock, switched parties last record in carrying more than 200 of the state’s 254 counties in the Demo cratic primary shows he can do bet ter in rural areas than the other Re publican candidates. Also seeking the GOP nomination are former Gov. Bill Clements, the first Republican chief executive in Texas since Reconstruction, and U.S. Rep. Tom Loeffler of Hunt. “I don’t think there’s any doubt that Kent has the best chance,” Mos- spring.

On Sept. 26 there was a spill from the same lift station of an unknown quantity of sewage. As a result of the spill, and other violations, the city was assessed a $165,000 fine. Officials said the Monday spill could mean another fine by the state and another city appearance before the state water commission. Phillips said a test of the creek Monday showed any fish kill or dam age to other aquatic life would prob ably be confined to Walnut Greek. ;they w actly the same thing...

Rather, he said, “It is a viral infec tion spread by biood-to-blood con tact or intimate sexual exposure.” Because of that, the guidelines recommend that school officials ex clude children only in unusual cir cumstances, such as if a child en gages in aggressive biting, lacks toilet training or has open sores that can’t be covered. The guidelines say such children can be temporarily removed from the classroom. The recommenda tions say most infected children have acquired the virus from infected mothers during the prenatal period, or through transfusions of infected blood. The guidelines also recommend that: MIKE WARNKE Warnke - (worn’ ke) n. (Ger. maximus funny) 1. ex-satanic priest, now America’s No. 1 Ghristian Comedian 2. A side-splitting laughter maker. 3.
