The statute requires all resi dents' doors have keyless dead bolts, apartment unit locks be rekeyed no more than seven days after a new resident moves in, and owners promptly repair bro ken security devices. In addition, the statute re quires property owners to install window latches on all windows and either a door-handle lock or a key-operated deadbolt on all entry doors. Jennifer Spadea, a resident at Briarwood Apartments, said the complex began improving its se curity before the statute was en acted. "Last spring, they put new deadbolts on all of the residents' door locks, and they put extra outside," she said.

Linda Sanford, property man ager of The Colony Apartments, said," 'Security' is not in our vo cabulary. We cannot promise residents security. We do what we can to make them safer, but if we guarantee security, we can be hit with a liability suit if some thing goes wrong." In order to prevent crime in the complex, Sanford said, dead bolts and peepholes on residents' doors are provided, and an off- duty College Station police offi cer patrols the property. The College Station Police De partment has also taken a role in preventing crime in apartment complexes. Lt. Bernie Kapella saici College Station police officers patrol apartment complexes and offer crime prevention presentations to residents. Residents can prevent crime by getting to know their neigh bors and looking out for each other, Kapella said. For more information on crime prevention, call the College Station Police Department.

Virgil L. Sharpton of the Planetary and Lunar In stitute in Houston said new measurements of the Chicxulub impact crater suggests that it is more than 50 percent larger than previously believed, and was created when a large comet or asteroid hit Earth with the explosive force of 100 to 300 million megatons of TNT. A report on the new study was to be published Friday in the journal Science. Sharpton said the violence of the Chicxulub im pact event "would be several times larger than the explosion at one point of the complete global nuclear arsenal." He said the larger size of the crater strengthens the theory that the Chicxulub impact is the event that wiped out the dinosaurs. Chicxulub crater is centered on the coast of the Yucatan peninsula. It extends out into the Gulf of Mexico and then far inland. Using new gravity measurements and a reexami nation of 20-year-old drilling cores shows that the Chicxulub crater is some 186 miles across, said Sharpton. Previous measurements put the crater at about 110 miles across. Sharpton said the crater was created within sec onds when a space rock, perhaps the size of Halley's Comet, smashed to Earth at more than 100,000 miles an hour. Instantly, he said, some 200,000 cubic kilometers of soil and rock were vaporized or splashed into the air. "We are talking about the equalivant of blasting out the state of Connecticut to a depth of about 10 kilometers (6.2 miles)," said Sharpton. The energy of the impact would create instant temperatures of more than 20,000 degrees, send 400- foot tidal waves roaring across the ocean and trigger magnitude 12 earthquakes hundreds of miles away, he said.
