The San Antonio base is one of five Air Logistic Centers nation wide being eyed by the indepen dent commission for closure. While the Air Force has recommended closing Newark AFB in Ohio, the seven-member commission added the four other Air Logistic Centers for comparison purposes. Joining Kelly and Newark in the comparative round are Mc Clellan AFB in California, Robins AFB in Georgia and Tinker AFB in Utah. The Air Force had recom mended closing McClellan, but Defense Secretary Les Aspin took the California base off the Penta gon's "hit list" to lessen the al ready heavy economic blow Cali fornia is expected to take in this year's base-closing round. The commission's discussion Wednesday of the logistics bases came as the panel prepares to vote on the future of 238 military facili ties and activities nationwide. The vote on Kelly and the other logis tics bases is expected Friday. When the commission con- Health Tips Be a wily road runner: jogging on roadways presents many hazards By RON WEBB and CHRIS BIGGS Special to Vie Battalion The Bryan-College Station area has many parks with running paths for Aggies who enjoy running, but many people run along the side of the road at one time or another. The A.P. Beutel Health Center offers these tips to keep from becom ing injured while running on the roadway. It is a good idea for runners to run into the flow of traffic in order to see the cars coming toward them so they can adjust accordingly. If at all possible, runners should try to find a path with little traffic flow. University Drive and Texas Avenue are not suitable for joggers. If run ning on the road is unavoidable, runners should take precautions to stay out of the flow of traffic. Drivers need to be aware of runners night and day and take precautions to avoid them. The drivers should keep their headlights on low beams when encountering a runner to avoid blinding them. Joggers should run with a partner in case of injury as well as for other safety reasons. Female runners should be especially careful at night. When running with a partner, joggers should run in a single file manner to stay out of the lane of traffic. Nighttime runners should wear bright clothing, preferably reflective bands and vests, which can be purchased at many of the local sports stores. Runners who listen to radios while jogging should keep the volume low to hear surrounding noise. Drinking lots of fluids before and after running prevents dehydra tion. Drinking water after running replaces lots of fluids that are lost during the exercise. Stretching for five to 15 minutes after exercise is just as important as stretching before exercise. Runners should buy shoes that fit their body type, foot width, and running habits the best, not necessarily those that are the most expen sive or best-looking. Before beginning serious running, joggers should train slowly to gradually build up mileage and pay careful attention to the terrain. Soft surfaces are the best for running. If the runner experiences any pain, he or she should stop the workout and finish it the next day. Questions about running should be directed to the Health Educa tion Center in the A.P. Beutel Health Center at 845-1341. Questions about Aggie Roadrunners, the Texas A&M running club, can be direct ed to Chris Biggs at 845-3708. MSC Barber Shop Ssieving All Aggies!

Other Texas bases be ing reviewed for closure are Naval Station Ingleside near Cor pus Christi, Corpus Christi Naval Air Station, Naval Hospital Cor pus Christi and Dallas Naval Air Station. The Red River Army De pot near Texarkana is being re viewed for realignment. During Wednesday's debate, none of the commissioners indi cated how many of the logistics centers they think should be closed. Chairman Jim Courier said the panel intends "to close the maximum number of depots we can based on excess capacity.'' he later declined to tell reporter; how many Air Logistics Center; he expects the commission to rec ommend for closure. Commission analysts told the panel Wednesday that the Air Force has from 25 to 50 percent excess capacity in its Air Logistic; Centers. They told the commis sion that three of the logistic; bases could be closed and leave enough capacity to handle the Pentagon's future projected workload. Air Force estimates show thi closing Kelly, Tinker or Robin; would not produce any saving; for more than a century. Child-killer seeks new home after two towns turn him on Thursday La< Cana< Texas player Dc ing at the THE ASSOCIATED PRESS EL PASO — Authorities have been forced to find another home fori paroled child-killer who has been rejected twice by Texas communities! Raul Meza was paroled to an El Paso County halfway house aftfj Uvalde citizens protested his planned release in their city. But officiail will find yet another home for him after a second round of protests. Officials of the Aliviane halfway house in Socorro, a community soul of El Paso, said the Pardons and Paroles Division of the Texas Depan ment of Criminal Justice will transfer Meza out of El Paso County. "We don't know where he's going to go, to be honest with you, Chilo Madrid, executive director of Aliviane, said Wednesday. Raven Kazen, a spokeswoman for the Pardons and Paroles Division it Austin, was out of her office Wednesday and not available for comment. Meza, 32, served 11 years of a 30-year prison sentence for raping an; murdering 8-year-old Kendra Page of Austin in 1982. He had requested to go to Uvalde, about 70 miles west of San Ante nio, after his release this week. But residents launched a letter-writin; campaign to state officials opposing plans to parole him to Uvaldt forcing the move to Socorro. Alternative Continued from Page 1 important in Texas and the pro motion of using it as an alterna tive to other fossil fuels will make Texas a leader in the future. However, Dr. James M. Griffin, professor of economics, said the bill will probably not have a big impact on the economy of Texas. "The short-term effects will be minimal," he said. "We will still continue to rely on petroleum and other fossil fuels. Who knows how it will affect the economy in the long run?"
