TAPSS was organized several months ago in an attempt to im prove communication and increase awareness among A&M support staff. “It’s a means of networking,” Yvonneke Beelby, a public relations committee member for TAPSS, said. “Our goals include enhancing serv ice, teaching and research within the University system.” AGGIE WORD PROCESSING - Close to campus. Ex perienced w/Aggies. Laserjet printing, competitive prices. 696-1394. I70t7/19 Keyes said her career in broadcast journalism began with adminstrative support positions. "I called the radio station in town,” she said, “They needed some one to work on log books, af ternoons and weekends. It was per fect for someone in (high) school and the whole feeling of being in a radio station was good enough for me.” After graduating from Loyola University in New Orleans, Keyes spent several years recruiting for its admissions office. When she re turned to broadcasting, it was again through a support staff position. “There was an opening at Chan nel 4 (New Orleans) — basic entry level, answering phones, etc.,” she said. “Within three months they needed a producer for PM Magazine and they wanted it filled in-house. Luckily I had been there three months.” TAPSS invites speakers like Keyes to give informational talks on topics that interest its members. Beelby said many topics like stress manage ment, relations with management and efficiency in the work place have been addressed. What’s Up Wednesday DEPT.

Dr. James Scoggins, head of meteorology at A&M. said early detection will provide people with 30 to 40 minutes of preparation time before a storm instead of the current 20 to 30 minutes. He said the radar’s detection of early tornado forma tion in thunderstorms before they reach the ground will provide the 10 extra minutes. “It might give them (people) time to run to a neigh bor’s house or a central location where there’s better shelter,” Scoggins said. “Even 20 minutes could give time to take shelter and secure things to help minimize damage and prevent loss of life.” Scoggins said the Doppler radar will be compatible with and give information comparable to the Next-Gen eration Weather Radar (NEXRAD). The Doppler radar will be installed to be used with the standard radar currently being used by the meteo rology department. A builder working for UNYSIS, a company that will manufacture the NEXRAD, said it is under construe lion in Norman, Okia. He said the radar will beableto identify rotating wind patterns within storms and im prove flash flood warnings. The builder said more than 175 radars across th country will he under construction and the $450 million dollar project should be fully operating by the 1990s, Scoggins said the Doppler radar currently deter mines true wind speed and uprafts but has not been used for long-term observations. The radar uses algorithms, which were developedb graduate students at A&M to help interpret data fron the radar. Scoggins said six Texas A&M theses on the subject have been used in the NEXRAD program. “One of the things we'll be looking at with our new) installed Doppler this fall is the possibility of ddectint storm signature,” Scoggins said. “There may be rotatio nal aspects of a storm that we don’t even know about.’ The NEXRAD radar system is a joint project oftbt National Weather Service, Naval Oceanographic Of fice, Air Force Air Weather Service and the Feden Aviation Administration. Volunteer saves disabled parking spaces BEAUMONT (AP) — A special watchman is on the lookout for able- bodied drivers who pull into parking spaces designated for disabled driv ers. Bill Echenhofer, the city’s new dis abled parking space advocate, has volunteered to stake out parking lots and note unauthorized vehicles parked in parking spaces set aside for the handicapped. As a civilian, Echenhofer, 64, a disabled retiree from Gulf States Utilities Co., lacks the authority to is sue citations, but he submits to the city traffic engineer the license num bers and descriptions of cars that do not have the special handicapped symbol on their license plates or a portable tag issued by the county tax assessor-collector to disabled people. The traffic engineer reports to the municipal court, which issues the summonses, and Echenhofer is available as the witness in court. Un authorized parking in a hand icapped space can bring a fine of $50 to $200. Echenhofer turned in 35 cars in his first six weeks on the prowl. Don Kelly, chairman of the Be*j mom Mayor’s Committee for! ployment of Disabled Persons, e 1 there apparently has been littlep: ecution of unauthorized parkingy disabled spots until Echenbol® stepped forward and the comnif designated him as its parking >'.4' advocate May 10. “1 just got fed up with thegene| public parking in handicap^, zones,” Echenhofer said. “I justttl the mayor and the city attorne)! they would let me do this 1 to* make $ 1,()()() a day for the city.’ j ZABAIPE RESTAURANT 4004 Harvey Rd.
