Dallas County
storage tanks
may be leaking
DALLAS (AP) — Some of the esti
mated 14,000 petroleum storage
tanks that lie beneath Dallas County
soil are aging bombs, environmental
workers say, because they may be
leaking gasoline into underground
water supplies.
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

Fencing for construction
surrounds two dormitories
By Julie Mitchell
Reporter
Students living in McFadden and Haas halls this
summer woke up one Saturday morning to find them
selves fenced in.
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.
