Police search county
for farm tractor thieves
Brazos County Crime Stoppers is
seeking information about three
farm tractor thefts in rural Brazos
County over the past six months.
The first theft occurred Decem
ber 30, 1989 at the Case Power &
Equipment Co. on Highway 21. Po
lice believe the thieves entered the
fenced compound, started a tractor
and drove it to a waiting trailer.
The other thefts occurred in Jan
uary and May on ranches in rural
areas of Brazos County. Police say
thieves stole the tractors the same
way — by starting them and driving
them to a waiting trailer.
The stolen tractors, valued at
more than $27,000, are described as
follows:
• Case International model 685,
serial B-28253.
• Ford model 2101-3C, serial
C165657.
• Kubota with implements and
trailer model L-245, serial
L245DT55936.
Investigators have no evidence
that these thefts are a result of orga
nized crime activity. They do recom
mend, however, that area ranchers
take precautions to guard their
equipment.
If you have information that
could be helpful about these thefts,
call Crime Stoppers at 775-TIPS.
When you call, Crime Stoppers will
assign you a coded number to pro
tect your identity.

Spill
(Continued from page 1)
nation before the spill help in this
area, he said.
Other processes, such as shipping
and runoff, put oil into the environ
ment, Kennicutt said. He said it is
important to separate this pollution
from the actual spill early in the in
vestigation.
“If there is an existing database,
you have a pre-spill understanding
of the system you’re working with,”
Kennicutt said.
If no database exists, he said sci
entists also can take samples from an
area far away from the spill and use
them to create a model.
“We were trying to do both,” Ken
nicutt said. “We were getting to the
scene very early in the incident and
sampling, as well as sampling far
away from the site to try and estab
lish what the background is.”
The GERG team also collected
samples for dispersant studies.
An experimental dispersant was
applied to a portion of the oil spill,
and the team will study samples to
determine its effectiveness.
Kennicutt said bioremediation
also was tried on a small part of the
slick. The bioremediation technique
uses microorganisms to digest the
oil.
Because the situation at the spill
site now is under control, most of the
scientists and technicians have re
turned, except a skeleton crew on
board the A&M R/V Gyre, Kenni
cutt said.
“At this point, things are starting
to wind down, and it’s a question of
what the long-term program’s going
to be,” he said.
Kennicut said the spill could have
been much worse.
“The weather was excellent,” he
said. “And the amount of material
ultimately released was not near as
much as was on board. It was not
nearly as serious a problem as peo
ple were worried about in the begin
ning, but it still is a major spill.”
The Mega Borg was in the process
of “lightering” when the explosions
occurred. Lightering is the trans
feral of some of the oil off one ship
onto another to lighten the first
ship’s load.
Kennicutt said he is not sure if the
process is dangerous.
“When you transport the amount
of oil you’re talking about world
wide, you’re going to have acci
dents,” he said. “Whether one par
ticular activity is more dangerous
than another becomes a matter of
judgment.”
Kennicutt said people must ex
pect to have oil spills of some magni
tude as long as oil continues to be
transported in such volumes.
CO-OP CLUB: will elect officers and plan a party at 7 p.m. in 342 Zachry.Ca!
822-4405 for more information.

band.”
AH of the alumni agree that the
campus has grown to an overwhelm
ing size. Joe Lassiter, class of ’40,
said he never imagined the campus
would get this big.
Heldenfels remembered sleeping
in tents along the side of what is now
known as Old Main Drive. “We
called it Hollywood Boulevard,” he
said smiling. “But a lot has changed
since then. Back then, all the build
ings were one height and less than
five stories.”
He then compared a new ’90 class
ring to his, which is polished smooth
from years of wear. “I bought mine
for $25,” he chuckled.
Samantha Gordon, an AggieHos
tel student host for the second
said she enjoys working with
program and hearing the old
stories. “Things have really chant:
in a lot of ways since then/’shesi
“But it’s still great to hear about!

The a lumni were pleased to6
the same Aggie spirit still comm
place on the campus. "Ever
here is still friendly and open,"
siter said. “It’s a trait I hope
school never loses.”
Field director for the Associat
of Former Students Porter Gai
III, class of ’79, said this is oneof:
most rewarding programs thatn
one who cares about Texas Ai
and its former students can be:
volved with.
“We get to see our heritage t!
ved,” he said. “They really brinj
life how special A&M is. Theseloi
are here to learn, but we’re reallyt
ones doing the learning.”

Economically, Larke said, Afri
can-Americans also are facing prob
lems.
“Almost half of all African-Ameri
can children are born in poverty,”
she said.
Lack of education, low-t
jobs, racism and cutbacks in
funds combine to create the high
rate of poverty among African-
Americans, Larke said.
“We are often confused with ste
reotypes — ‘If people want to work
they can find a job. They’re just
lazy.’ But this just isn’t true,” Larke
said. “In many instances people have
low self-esteem. They have a sense
of hopelessness and do not know the
system of how to get things done.”
Education is the key to improving
the economic situation for African-
Americans, she said.
