State and federal officials have in tensified efforts to find leaking tanks and force their owners to repair or replace them but some leaks go un detected. The substances that seep from the tanks may pose a threat to health and safety, and have done tens of millions of dollars in damage to telephone cables. “There are just a huge number of tanks out there, a number of which have the potential to leak in the not- too-distant future,” Blake Early said. Early, as a Sierra Club representa tive, helped draft federal legislation governing underground tanks. “The damage they can do to groundwater is huge; it only takes a very small amount of gasoline to render a source of underground drinking water useless,” Early said. “It’s one of those issues that, in our view, is a sleeper in terms of its impact on public health.” The highly flammable gasoline contains benzene, a known carcino gen that can be harmful. Two years ago, a Mineral Wells man died two years ago when he flipped a light switch in his house, ig niting gasoline that had seeped into the house from a nearby tank. About 50 cases have been docu mented in Texas of private wells tainted by leaking tanks. For exam ple, leaking tanks in Dallas have damaged underground telephone cables because gasoline eats away at the cables’ protective coating.

Education complei names chancellor amist investigation KILLEEN (AP) — A new leader took command of the American Ed ucational Complex on Monday, vow ing to restore its reputation in the face of official displeasure and a state agency’s investigation. Jim Anderson succeeds Phillip R. Swartz, who resigned last week, only four months after he succeeded Luis Morton Jr. as chancellor. The AEG board of trustees ap pointed Anderson, the college’s dep uty chancellor for college programs, as acting chancellor anti indicated it would give Anderson the opportu nity to be named to the post. Anderson, 50, has academic and administrative experience, and was hired by the complex less than a year ago. Anderson came to the AECfcl the Pentagon as the chief ofcosipl grams and technical directorofJ Air Force Cost Center. Officiakl he is well qualified to straighten I contracting problems and otheri cal matters.

The area in front of the two residence halls, as well as the staff parking lot to the north of them, is entirely en closed by a 6-foot chain link fence. The fences are the beginning of a 10-month project to build five new residence halls. “My dorm looks like a maximum security prison,” said Elizabeth Logan, a junior economics major from Houston who is living in Haas for the summer semes ters. But the appearance is not the only problem the hall construction will cause. Another 6-foot fence was installed on the south side of campus, blocking off about 300 parking places, Saul Garcia, the superintendent in charge of building the halls, said. Garcia said three of the halls will be built in what is now the Commons parking lot. A fourth southside hall will be built next to Underwood Hall in what used to be a parking lot. Garcia said Mosher Lane will remain open to allow access to the loading dock behind the Commons. Spence Street, from Moser Lane halfway to Lewis Street, will be closed. T he construction also will bring early-morning noise. Garcia said his workers, about 150 of them, willstar working at 7 a.m. every day, with the high noise level continuing for the entire 10 months. “Even when we get toward the end of the projettl we’ll still have the dozers out there,” Garcia said. Students who live in McFadden and Haas hallswcbI be able to use their usual exits or bicycle racks forikl next 10 months. Garcia said students will have to walk around tkl halls to get to Houston Street. “It takes me twice as long to get anywhere,” saidDii Elizondo, a sophomore biochemistry major from McAll len and summer Haas resident. Garcia said A&M has ordered new bicycle racks,l)ij students must find a new place to park their bikes uiii| they come in. Garcia said none of the fenced off area on the soul side will be reopened for parking. He said landscapir: and sidewalks will replace the lot. The parking lot on the northside, next to Haas. ■ i be reopened when the project is finished. Garcia said all cars parked in the fenced-off areas«i[| be towed if they aren’t moved by today. “We figured that students who went home for till weekend wouldn’t know to move their cars until Mon I day,” Garcia said. “We won’t start towing until Tuesda'| morning.” Garcia said the new halls will be open in the falloj 1989. Track delays cause revenue loss AUSTIN (AP) — The delay in get ting Texas pari-mutuel horse and dog racing out of the gate means the state government won’t be taking in as much money as soon as had been thought. Comptroller Bob Bullock said Monday. “If you don’t run, you don’t make money,” said Tony Proffitt, spokes man for the comptroller’s office. Bullock earlier had forecast that the state would take in $3.59 million from legalized race track gambling in the 1988 budget year, which ends Aug. 31, and $22 million in the 1989 budget year. But in a letter to Racing Commis sion Chairman Hilary Doran, Bul lock said he now was being forced to push back his estimates by a year. His new forecast now projects $3.25 million in 1989 and $20.3 mil lion in 1990. “The original estimate no longer holds any water because the projec tions that they were going to be up and running by ’88 didn’t come true,” Proffitt said. Voters last November approved a referendum legalizing pari-mutuel wagering on horse and dog racing in Texas for the first time in 50 years. However, the Racing Commission that was formed in January has yet to hire an executive director, issue rules to govern racing and wagering, or license any tracks to conduct pari- fnutuel racing. “The time it’s taken to get the full racing commission appointed and for the commission to develop its policies and rules means that none of the $3.5 million the state had ex pected to go into the treasury during the current 1988 business year has been realized, with just one month left before the state closes the books on 1988,” Bullock wrote. “This means we’re pushing back our projections of revenue by a year. The state can expect racing to gener ate about the same amount of monev in each of the years to come, but® time we’ve lost getting started 1 pushed that money another )< I into the future,” Bullock said. The Racing Commission has sued proposed rules to govern h® | and dog racing, and those rules now being considered at a series : public hearings being held arc the state. Doran said last week he hopes ; commission can hire an executive! rector at its September meeting T he chairman also has prof that existing race tracks will txj I censed and pari-mutuel ra(| started sometime in the springs 1989. Bullock’s latest projections 1 state revenue from pari-mutuel® gering also call for $42.2 milM | the 1991 fiscal year. Proffitt said it now appeared 1 ’! the revenues won’t top $100 mill 1 until the 1993 budget year.
