The racetracks were closed during the war, and noble dromedaries turned into desert dumplings. Nearly a year later, some are still sand-dune potatoes. "They got fat, happy and lazy. Some can't even race anymore," said jockey Breig Mubarak, 25. A good racing hump should be about as wide as a man's hand is long. By war's end, some camels had humps as broad as a man's forearm is long. The day the war ended, the races resumed. And through the hot summer months the camel owners came up with a solution for getting rid of the flab — work outs at midnight, when the desert temperatures are cool. Jockeys and owners say the camel elite were up to par for the recent three days of races that open the annual Janadriya Cultur al Festival, organized by the coun try's National Guard. But they notice a lot more galumphing toward the end of the 12 1/2-mile races — they are run ning 50 minutes instead of the ide al 30. Camels that get out of shape risk more than losing some races. They can wind up on a barb« spit if they do not prove useful. But a young camel that wins races three years in a row can fetch up to $530,000 at auction. The races attract notables from Saudi Arabia's royal family, which includes about 3/ princes. King Fahd was on hand for the season's first race. Some princes are content to watch from deep couches in stands. Others clamber aboard buses fitted with padded armchairs to chase around the track keeping pace with the runners so they can watch their prize beasts. World Briefs Pope returns to Africa VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope John Paul II is returning to Africa this week for the eighth time in his pa pacy, seeking to encourage cooperation with Islam in visits to three largely Muslim countries. The week-long trip, starting Wednes day, will take the pope to the West African countries of Senegal, Gambia and Guinea, all with tiny Roman Catholic minorities. He will meet with Muslim leaders and representatives of traditional African religions. Christianity and Islam are ancient ri vals in Africa, and the Polish-born pope is expected to call for coopera tion and brotherhood, as he has on past trips. Low voter turnout in Hungary BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — A parlia mentary district in northwest Hungary failed for the sixth time to turn out the vote needed to elect a deputy. Only 9.86 percent of the 44,868 voters cast ballots in Sunday’s by-election, state radio reported Monday. Although there was only one candidate running, the turn-out was well below the mandatory 25 percent. Opinion polls reflect broad voter disen chantment with politics since the first free elections in more than 40 years were held in 1990. Voters had expected a quick rise in the higher standard of living after four decades of communism. But the switchover from a centrally planned economy with the highest per capita foreign debt in the former Communist bloc to a market economy has brought a great deal of hardship. m ^ McDonald's McDonalds® Salutes Teaching Excellence McDonald’s Restaurants of Bryan/College Station announces their Teaching Assistant’s recognition program.
