DALLAS (AP) — Texas crude oil
refineries recovered from a terrible
first-quarter start and finished 1986
with an average profit margin of 36
cents per barrel, an international pe
troleum consulting firm says.
The average Gulf Coast refinery
enjoyed a strong second quarter but
had to cope with falling wholesale
prices for refined products in the
first quarter that produced an aver
age net loss of 36 cents per barrel, a
Purvin & Gertz analyst said.
Robert Hermes said that most re
finers suffered losses from inventory
write-downs in the first quarter.
“Because of the great amount of
uncertainty and volatility, refinery
runs were relatively low,” he said,
noting that the average operating ca
pacity dropped to around 78 per
cent in the first quarter.
But after the fall in crude prices
that occurred in the first quarter, de
mand for petroleum products
picked up strongly, Hermes said.
The increase in demand and the
low crude price led to a jump in the
average operating margin to $1.66
per barrel in the second quarter.

Cardinal blames reform failure for massaa
MANILA, Philippines (AP) —
Cardinal Jaime L. Sin blamed gov
ernment failures in land reform
Sunday for the deaths of 12 demon
strators, and leftists readied a march
by tens of thousands of protesters to
express anger over the shootings.
Teodoro Benigno, spokesman for
President Corazon Aquino, said it
was her 54th birthday Sunday and
she spent the day with her family.
He said she was “very concerned, as
any president should be,” about the
planned march on Monday.
Bayan, the nation’s largest leftist
organization, said students, peas
ants, professionals and others would
march from several rallying points
toward Malacanang presidential pal
ace. Organizers threatened “more
decisive action” if troops again
opened fire.
The crisis comes right before a
Feb. 2 plebiscite on a new constitu
tion, which is regarded as a vote of
confidence in Aquino’s stewardship.
About 10,000 peasants and sup
porters of their demands for land
reform marched toward Aquino’s of
fice Thursday. At Mendiola bridge
near the palace, they forced a line of
police to retreat. Marines Ixdiind the
police fired on the protesters, killing
12 and wounding 94.
Both left and right-wing groups
condemned the “Mendiola mas
sacre,” the bloodiest street clash of
Aquino’s presidency.
Aquino named a commission to
investigate the incident and prom
ised justice for victims and their fam
ilies.

bishop of Manila, refemtl

State records show that the Texas Water Com
mission has long considered the landfill to be in
adequately monitored because only one shallow
monitoring well was built in the vicinity of the
landfill.
And Environmental Protection Agency re
cords show that in June 1984, a field inspection
team contracted by the EPA tried to draw a sam
ple from the well but were unable to remove the
well cap.
The EPA tests determined that small concen
trations of PCBs, less than 10 parts per million,
were present in landfill and pond soil samples.
On the basis of this test, EPA press officer Ka
ren Brown said, the EPA dropped the school
from consideration for the federal Superfund
program.
PCB concentrations must be greater than 50
parts per million to lx* considered fortk;
Supei hind program, she said.
Kate Arthur, a Texas Water Commit
perfund official, said the state only sua
that A&M build the monitoring wells.
“No one is requiring them to put then;
ing wells in,” Arthur said. “They (A&M)*
see if there could possibly be something:;
are missing and they want to put the who:
to rest once and for all."

There have been a rash of broken basketball rims in the gyms lately
due to individuals hanging on the rims. The cost of replacing rims
and time factor in replacing them are creating a shortage of usable
basketball courts.
The Intramural-Recreational Sports Department is asking your help
in policing these occurences. Please do not hang on the basketball
rims. If you see someone hanging on the rim please notify the build
ing supervisor immediately. Thanks for your help.
