"We'll get bags that contain
half newspaper and half old
food," he says.
As a result, Junction 505 and
the College Station Public Services
Department have proposed an or
dinance that would turn the site,
owned by the city of College Sta
tion, into a permanent facility.
The proposal suggests the city
fence the area and hire people to
supervise the site during certain
hours. At night, the site would be
closed.
Fagan says, however, that
Junction 505 would still maintain a
large portion of the work in
volved.
"The city would definitely
benefit from this," Fagan says.
"Since we don't charge anything
for our services."
He added that the city is trying
to reduce its landfills and the recy
cling site could aid in the process
by accepting recyclable products

Attendance has traditionally
been delegates only, but we are
trying to change that."
SCONA's new adviser, John
Lopez, said the conference pre
sents an interesting challenge to
the students who run it.
"My job really hasn't been as
difficult as I thought it might be,"
Lopez said. "The students have
done an excellent job of planning
this year's conference over the
summer."
Lopez, after finishing only his
second week working with
SCONA, said he hopes to change
the way the students look at the
conference.
"I want to see SCONA run

In addition to advising

Economy

"In past recoveries, 'shot out of a cannon' is a typical phrase fordr
scribing the economy. What's happening here is crawling outo:
hole," said Allen Sinai, chief economist at the Boston Co.
The jobless claims report, which offered no encouraging newst
the hiring front, may mean equally bleak numbers in Friday's uner
ployment report for August, analysts said.
In advance of the report, most analysts predicted the jobless ra:
probably inched up to 6.9 percent from July's 6.8 percent. A separa:
survey of business establishments, analysts predicted, will probabij
show that the economy added relatively few jobs last month.
Thursday's jobless claims report from the Labor Departmer,,
showed that for the week ending Aug. 24, the number of Americans!;-'
ing new applications for unemployment benefits failed to improvil
holding at the 421,000 level from the previous week.
Rather than falling, as would be consistent with a recovery, thejoll
less claims number has actually crept up, on average, over the pal
month, analysts noted.

The latest four-week average of new jobless claims is at 420,000;:;
month ago, it was 406,000, according to analysts who calculate the for
week average from the Labor Department statistics.
If August's employment numbers are weak enough, the FederalEf
serve might be prompted to provide a fresh round of lowered intern
rates in an effort to keep the economy from slipping into a "dot#
dip" recession, analysts said.
In a separate report, the Labor Department revised its earlier nuir
bers on productivity — defined as output per hour of work - to say:
grew at an annual rate of 0.5 percent from April to June, rather than#
1.9 percent rebound first reported.
The poor second quarter productivity growth followed dismi
showings of the previous two quarters, too, when the U.S. econom;
was mired in recession.
The downward productivity revision was not a big surprised
cause the government also recently revised calculations for Apr
through June on overall economic growth. The gross national produci
rather than increasing as first believed, actually fell slightly in thescf
ond quarter.
Meanwhile, the Commerce Department said a survey conducted!:
July and August found businesses planning to spend $532.4 billionfe
expansion and modernization, compared to $523.8 billion in 1990.
That 1.6 percent rise would be the smallest increase since spend®
actually fell 4.1 percent in 1986.
In other unsettling news, big retail companies including Sears, Rot
buck and Co. and Woolworth Corp. generally said sales at establishe:
stores — the key barometer of their performance — were unchangedc
down from August 1990, when business was hurt by the outbreake
the Persian Gulf crisis.

Walsh's 41/2-year criminal investigation began picking up spK I
this summer when Alan Fiers, the ex-chief of the CIA's Central Amt: ;
can Task Force, pleaded guilty to two counts in the scandal and bejp i
cooperating with prosecutors.
George's legal troubles began when Fiers implicated him in theses
dal in July.
Walsh has said that he is investigating a "cover-up in the ClA."Fi>
has spent several days in recent weeks in front of the federal grandjtf
answering prosecutors' questions about his former CIA colleagues.
George, as deputy director for CIA operations during the lran-Cc: |
tra affair, was in charge of all the agency's overseas spy networks.
Fiers told prosecutors that George orchestrated a coverup in whii
CIA officials hid North's role in the Contra resupply network fi®
Congress, according to a court document released in July when Fit
pleaded guilty. The alleged coverup took place after one of the planes
the operation was shot down over Nicaragua on Oct. 5,1986.
Congress had barred the CIA from assisting the Contras militarily
1984 and North, a member of the National Security Council staff, sec®
ly stepped in to fill the gap. North later testified he did so at the dir p;
tion of the CIA's then chief, the late William Casey.
Fiers said George told him to avoid giving Congress any detail ab p;
how a congressionally authorized effort to supply the Contras wi !
medicine and other humanitarian supplies turned into an arms shippi f
operation.
George told Fiers that giving Congress any details would "putt
spotlight" on the Reagan administration and reveal North's invol' 1
ment in the operation, said a court document outlining Fiers' stateme 11
to prosecutors.
Fiers also said he told George in late summer 1986 about the di'*'
sion of Iran arms sale money to the Contras, the most politically exp’
sive aspect of the Iran-Contra affair.
Fiers said that George already knew about the diversion when Fi p
told him about it.
"Now you (Fiers) are one of a handful of people who know this
Fiers said George told him.
