PAULL RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL® 76-0400 Protect pets from pranks, shelter advises Continued from Page 1 Fulfer said. Pranks may range from the less harmful, such as painting or scar ing the cat, to the "unspeakable," Fulfer said. Devil worshippers and those involved in the occult have a spe cial identification with both black as well as white cats, going as far as animal sacrifices in their rituals, she said. "We just like to remove that op portunity this time of year," Fulfer said. Halloween is the only time of year in which the shelter places re strictions on the adoption of its an imals. Lt. Mike Matthews, informa tion officer for the College Station Police Department, said he ex pects nothing out of the ordinary to come from this year's Hal loween. Typically, the depart ment receives calls concerning pranks such as egg throwing, wa ter balloons and the wrapping of houses with toilet paper, he said. "I can't think of anything we've had that has been a real big prob lem in the past as far as Halloween goes," Matthews said. The police do try to concentrate its efforts more on the residential areas of the city during Hal loween, especially during the ear ly evening hours, Matthews said. Although Matthews said he knows of no occurrences of animal sacrifices within the city, he has heard reports of incidents occur ring in the county. The number of trick-or-treaters has declined in the past few years. Instead, many parents take their children out to events at the mall or to school carnivals. Those children who decide to trick-or-treat should take along an adult, Matthews said. The puolic should keep alert for small chil dren. Fulfer advises pet-owners to take their own steps to protect their animals around Halloween. She recommends confining both cats and dogs to the house or to a locked and secure yard. This will keep them out of harms way at a time when traffic in residen tial areas increases, she said. "There are teen groups, and others, who are looking for stuff to do," Fulfer said. "If an animal strays into their path, they could do all kinds of crazy things to it." Trick-or-treaters also might frighten pets with their elaborate costumes and make-up. Before opening the door for trick-or- treaters, make sure pets are safely tucked away, so they can't run out the door. Fulfer advises against feeding candy to pets, especially choco late. It contains a chemical which can be toxic to the animals. Student workers need application to preregister Continued from Page 1 do not work disagree with the sys tem of preregistration for student workers. Jennifer Hartman, a senior po litical science major, said she dis agrees with the system of workers who register before graduating se niors because some dasses needed to fulfill degree requirements could be full. The semester before the appli cation process was implemented, a record number of students pre registered for classes. With use of the application, Ritchey said, the number decreased by about one- third. "The decrease in number of students who preregistered was veiy noticeable," he said. Ritchey said that a majority of the students who register early for classes are in the University Hon ors Program. About 2,900 stu dents out of the average 4,500 stu dents who preregister are honors students, he said. Telephone registration for hon ors students began 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday and continues to day during those same hours. Every classification has three days to register, followed by one day of open registration. Last names beginning with H-O are first, P-Z is second, and A-G is last. Seniors begin registration by phone on Monday, Nov. 4, and ju niors begin on Friday, Nov. 8. Sophomores can register begin ning Thursday, Nov. 14, and freshmen start registration on Wednesday, Nov. 20. Jan. 28 is the last day to drop courses by phone, and Jan. 29 is the beginning of Q-drop period EPA says 98 areas exceed ozone standards Continued from Page 1 -sion standards for automobiles, the use of alternative motor fuels for fleets, tougher vehicle inspec tions, required employer-spon sored ride-share programs and controls on emissions from such businesses as bakeries, dry clean ers and breweries^ While most of the pollution controls are aimed at reducing ozone and carbon monoxide pol lution, the EPA said that some of the communities that do not meet dust and particulate standards may have to take other measures such as imposing restrictions on wood burning stoves or controls on road dust. EPA Administrator William Reilly said the new pollution con trols are expected to be phased in "over the next couple of years" in most of the pollution problem ar eas. "The effect of these measures ... will mean healthier air for more Americans to breathe," he said in a statement. Of the nearly 100 areas not meeting the ozone standard, only the Los Angeles-South Coast Basin area is ranked as having "ex treme" pollution, the worst cate- . The area has until the year 10 to come into compliance. Budget a only affeu scheduli i of classes Continued from Pagel "We are looking to sources," he said.
