Old TV shows, commercials arrive on video LOS ANGELES (AP) — Nostalgia videos — taped television shows and even commercials from the 1950s and ’60s — have found an ever growing market since Paramount Home Video introduced “Star Trek” on tape in 1985. With unit sales for various “Star Trek” episodes on tape approaching 4 million, others in the video busi ness have beamed aboard. Now almost every kind of old pro gram is on tape, from familiar titles such as “The Honeymooners,” “The Lone Ranger” and “I Love Lucy” to cult shows like actor Patrick McGoo- han’s “The Prisoner.” Outfits like Paramount and CBS- Lox Home Video have access to a wide library of shows. Paramount is considering the original “Mission Impossible,” “The Untouchables,” and “Mannix,” as well as more recent items like “Mork and Mindy.” CBS is looking at “Batman,” “Gunsmoke,” “Hawaii Five-O” and “Rawhide.” Arny Schorr, the vice president .and general manager of Rhino Re cords, says the much-targeted baby boomers seem to be most willing to part with their money for nostalgia videos. “They’re the people who grew up with the stuff, and it brings back comfortable memories,” Schorr said. “Also, if they have very young chil dren, they know its OK to put ‘The Lone Ranger’ on. They know no body is going to get killed and the good guys are going to win.” WRRD The following information was gathered from past issues of The Battalion and reflects activities that occurred during this week in A&M’s history. 7* : —; Boy. if really burns m/ Wf to Uose the M-S.C. ocxKs just to pleo.se. some old contractor... 10 years ago — The Memorial Stu dent Center Council approved the first Miss Texas A&M pageant. 25 years ago — Texas A&M former athletes Joe Routt, Frank G.

Pet cemetery final resting spo! for beloved family animals XENIA, Ohio (AP) — Lying in a secluded glen cut from a wooded estate are the 400 residents of Forestha- ven — cats, dogs, horses and other pets that have been buried but not forgotten. The park-like pet cemetery is operated by Raymond and Renate Glasscock on their 40-acre spread that is also a wildlife sanctuary. “More and more pets have become real family mem bers,” says Mrs. Glasscock. “We’re really a little nutty with our love for animals. But we feel there couldn’t have been a better purpose for this property . . . than giving it to the animals.” Among the animals buried there are a 31-year-old racehorse, a squirrel, a parakeet and a pet skunk named “Stinky.” A separate area called “Kitty Corner” is re served for cats whose owners prefer that the felines be buried some distance from the canines. Glasscock says there are more than 400 pet cemete ries in the United States. It costs $350 to $450 to bury an average-sized pet at Foresthaven, including head stone and use of the chapel. A casket, air- and water tight and in a range of sizes, costs $45 to $200 extra. The Glasscocks started the cemetery near Xenia j 1981 after their beloved boxer died and they buriec i on their property. That was quickly followed bytl burial of a dog owned by one of their friends, Frc:| there, word of the cemetery spread. Glasscock says that in addition to providing buiI Foresthaven tries to provide understanding and gniI counseling for pet owners. “I allow them to talhl much as they want to about their pet,” he says, “ai supply them with whatever support we can in the ft I of understanding . . . .” Glasscock says the loss of a pet is often a child’s I experience with death. “They have no idea whai | means, and if you just dig a hole in the back yardail throw it in, that’s death to them,” he says. “That’s[ devastating.” He says elderly people are especially hard hit by®I loss of a long-time pet. “Sometimes it’s their onlyi panion,” he says. “Their pet is their life. When they 1®I them at that age, it’s devastating.” The Battalion Number One in Aggieland Food then fry them in beef tallow to make them taste better. The fat in many chicken nuggets constitutes 58 per cent of the total calories. • (Continued from page 6) above contains on average 1 of sodium. Unless the person: carefully for the rest of the day- will probably exceed the reccj mended daily sodium allowance the things that should be avoided. Between 40 and 55 percent of the calories in fast food comes from fat. The American Heart Association recommends that no more than 30 percent of calories come from fat. The problem with fat is that it con sists of “empty” calories with no vi tamins, minerals or proteins. A meal consisting of a double-meat ham burger, a milkshake and french fries gets 46 percent of its calories from fat. That’s approximately 14.5 tea spoons of fat, which is a lot of grease to drink down with a meal. If you think you’re being healthy by eating chicken nuggets, think again.
