At Britt Rice Electric in the 3000 block of Longmire, the thieves forced their way through a fence surrounding the storage yard then broke into three trucks by smashing out a window in each before starting one and driving off. The thieves also struck two other busi nesses in the area by breaking into seven other vehicles before getting one to start. One of the vehicles that was stolen was a two-tone brown 1981 Chevrolet Blazer and the other was a brown 1980 CJ5 Jeep. The Blazer was recovered near where the other vehicle was stolen. The Jeep was recovered in Bryan. College Station Police detectives believe the thieves should have been seen by someone driving these vehicles around the area. This week the College Station Police De partment and Crime Stoppers need your help to identify the persons responsible for this burglary. If you have information that could be helpful, call Crime Stoppers at 775-TIPS. When you call, you will not have to give your name.

Girls interested in Aggie Hostesses must attend meeting Tuesday, March 30th 8:30 p.m. Student Services Bldg. Rm. 110 Applications due at meeting. The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics presents Mr. Bill Dana X-15 Test Pilot Greenpeace Continued from Page 1 He disagreed with burdening later generations with nuclear waste, especially when society could easily eliminate the energy source using new, innovative sources. Hydropower shows promise as a new energy source, but prob lems exist because flooding often results from the damming of wa terways, he said. "There has to be a better way," he said. "We have to find it or create it." To create new power sources, people must apply creativity to currently existing technologies, he said. If individuals are willing to make the commitment, solar pan els may provide the energy source of the future, he said. Childs said if public figures were to show support for solar power, the public would soon fol low in their support. "Did you know that Jimmy Carter put solar panels on the White House and Ronald Reagan took them down," he said. "If President Clinton was to put the panels back on, that would be a great symbolic gesture." He said it will take broad ac tion from the government, corpo rations and other public interest groups to make any drastic change in the way the country uses energy. But people can make a difference on a local level, he said. "It is literally as simple as turn ing off the light switch when you leave the room," he said. Baseball Continued from Page 1 Last weekend in the three game sweep of the University of Houston used all but four pitchers in giving up 22 runs on 26 hits. But the Aggie offense was up to task scoring 41 runs on 44 hits. "Our pitchers could be tired because we used an awful lot of them over the weekend," Head Coach Mark Johnson said. "I just hope we don't have to use that many against Mary- Hardin Baylor." The Crusaders split a doubleheader earlier this year with University of Texas and ended last season as the runnerup in the NAIA World Series. "I really don't know that much about them but from what I've heard they have an out standing team," Johnson said. "They basically still have the same team that went to the finals last year so we will have to be ready." In the Monday, March 29 polls, A&M moved up one notch in both the Collegiate Baseball and Baseball America polls. The Ag gies are currently ranked No. 3 by Collegiate Baseball and No. 4 by Baseball America. A&M is now tied with the Texas Tech Red Raiders for the lead in the Southwest Confer ence after sweeping the Cougars. The Red Raiders swept the Rice Owls to keep the top spot. This weekend the Aggies will take on Lub bock Christian starting Friday night with a double-header Saturday. r~-~ « Tuesday, March 30th 7:00 p.m. Room 124, H.R. Bright Building i i i i i L.
