Fate of Kelly AFB to be voted on Friday
Commission weighs San Antonio base against four threatened with closure
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - The De
fense Base Closure and Realign
ment Commission did little
Wednesday to tip its hand about
the future of Kelly Air Force Base
as it weighed the Texas base
against four others.
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.

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.

eludes its decision-making Sun
day evening, it will have debated
the future of five other Texas in
stallations. 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.

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.

motion of using it as an alterna

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?"
