Tickets for the event can be purchased at local bookstores. Phyllis Davis, field representative for district 19 with the American Cancer Society, said that for every ticket bought, that person will be given a duck for the race. At 10 a.m. the rubber ducks will be dropped into a river that runs into the park's pond. The first duck to reach the shore will be the winner, and the pur chaser of the winning duck will win two round-trip tickets anywhere that Continental Airlines flies. Other prizes include a date package and a Sports package. Davis said the packages are valued at $150 a piece. Rick Michael, a member of the TAMU chapter of the American Cancer Society, will be volunteering at the event. Michael said he became involved with the Ameri can Cancer Society because he wanted to learn more about the disease. "I wanted to learn about all the aspects of it, not just the research," Michael said. Davis said that the American Cancer Society of fers people diagnosed with the disease wheel chairs, walkers and hospital beds,. „ . "It does not matter if you're young or old, what color you are, how much mongy you have or where you live, these materials are available to everyone at no cost." A support group, called "I Can Cope," is available for anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer, fea turing guest speakers such as physicians, nurses, so cial workers, and dieticians. Davis said Texas A&M University has received over $300,000 in grants for cancer research. "The grant is given to the top researchers in the field, and we are pleased that A&M received the money," Davis said. See Cancer/Page 8 Expressions Studio CS Jazz Funk class.

Project will plant 100 trees Park to receive a facelift from local volunteer organizations MISS SHERI LIVE 1-900-884-9993 $2 5/CALL 1 -900-454-4722 $2.99 minute / no minimum DIVERSIFIED ENTERPRISES Lake Worth, Florida 18+.... By CHERYL HELLER Reporter of THE BATTALION "100 Trees in 100 Days," a beautification project for the jog ging trail and amphitheater area of Wolf Pen Creek Park in College Station, got under way Monday. Commerce National Bank pre sented the city with a $500 dona tion to kick off the project. The beautification project, which is sponsored by the College Station Parks and Recreation De partment and Brazos Beautiful, Inc., plans to provide 100 new trees for the Wolf Pen Creek Park Phase I development. The trees and planting costs for the project total $10,000. Brazos Beautiful, Inc., a non profit volunteer organization that is part of Keep America Beautiful, is soliciting donations to be used for tree plantings in the park. The purpose of Brazos Beauti ful is to further, through educa tion and awareness, a cleaner and more beautiful community, said Diane Craig of Brazos Beautiful, Inc. "We just finished a beautifica- FOR MORE INFORMATION CALL 821-3409 tion project in Bryan on Briarcrest Drive and we were looking for a new project," she said. "We found that this is the perfect time to work with the parks and recre ation department, because the jog ging trail and amphitheater really need work." The tree selection and place ment for the initial planting is in tended to meet shading, aesthetic, sound absorption and species di versification needs in the park. Trees will be planted on Jan. 16, 1993, and volunteer help is need ed for the planting. Fund raising for the project will end on Dec. 24,. and Craig is optimistic about the funds collect ed thus far. "We just kicked off the project on Monday, and we already have $2,000. We should have no trou ble raising the rest of the money by Christmas Eve," she said. All donations to the project are tax-deductible, and Craig believes that a donation is a wonderful way for campus organizations to get involved. "If a person or organization donates $100 or more, their name will be put on a plaque and will be remembered forever," she said. Craig said that although only those donating more than $100 will receive a plaque, donations of any size are gladly welcomed. Donations go towards the pur chase of 30-gallon trees and plant ing costs. Anyone who donates receives a membership to Brazos Beautiful that includes a green card good for discounts at nurs eries, florists and car washes in the Bryan-College Station area. Anyone who would like to vol unteer to plant trees in January or has questions about the beautifi cation project should call Craig at 776-6227.
