Officials urge residents to take Halloween can
By Kim Horton
The Battalion
Concerned about the welfare of animals
and children, the Brazos Valley Animal Shelter
and the University Police urge residents to fol
low annual Halloween precautions.
Lt. Bert Kretzschmar of the University Po
lice said students need to be extra cautious
while driving Halloween night to ensure the
safety of children trick-or-treating.
"We will be highly visible around residen
tial areas trying to slow down cars due to the
abundance of children out and about," Kret
zschmar said.
The University Police said they will enforce
the safety of pedestrians as well as the victims
of holiday pranks.
"You never can tell what's going to happen
on such a notorious event as Halloween,"
Kretzschmar said.
Mary Haislet, humane educator for the Bra
zos Valley Animal Shelter, said a noticeable
amount of abuse to animals occurs throughout
the nation on Halloween.
"We will not let happen what happens in
other cities," Haislet said. "There are warped
people out there who don't mind adopting a
cat and torturing it."
The shelter has experienced problems in the
past, but continues to take all necessary pre
cautions, Haislet said.
The week before Halloween, solid black
and white kittens are placed out of sight and
adoption is discouraged, she said.
Bennie Jacobs, a local pet shop manager,
said he noticed an increase in the amount of
people wanting to buy cats during this season.
"We don't sell black ones during this time,"
Jacobs said. "The weirdness comes outing
pie during this holiday."
Mary Sims, a worker at a local animal;
ic, said, "On Halloween one year, somte
bought a black cat and declawed ithiuv
The feet were badly messed up."
Kretzschmar said nine years ago onil
loween a mutilated cat was found inonedt
parks, but no such problems have occoi
since then.
"People owning cats should keep
the house for at least this week," Haisletsad
"Irresponsible people get caught up
weird idea and go for it," he said. It'snoii
sickos."
Although College Station has experiei
minimal problems on Halloween, stud
should stay alert and aware, he said.
"We're not saying it doesn't go on,'Kj
zschmar said. "It just hasn't surfaced."

By Kevin Cochran
On October 28, the College
Station City Council will vote on
the Bikeway Master Plan
immediately following a public
hearing at City Hall Council
Chambers beginning at 7 p.m.
Freebirds World Burrito and the
Texas Bicycle Coalition will make
statements and present lists of
names of those who support
bikeways in C.S. Our goal is
twofold: to provide the City
Council with 2,000 or more
signatures and to have at least 50
supporters attend the hearing.
By adopting the Bikeway Master
Plan designed by city transpor
tation officials. College Station will
be entitled to apply for more
than $1 million in federal funding
for bikeways. Upon funding, the
city will develop a continuous loop
of bike lanes, routes, and paths
linking the University with
residential, commercial, and
entertainment areas. Wolf Pen
Creek ampitheater complex, and
local schools.
Why is Freebirds taking such an
active stance on this particular
issue? In addition to the need for
business environmental and social
responsibility, and the chance to
enhance life for A&M students, the
two-restaurant chain was founded
in Isla Vista, California (adjacent to
U.C. Santa Barbara), where 80% of
students use bicycles as their
primary means of transportation.
The experience of working in a
bike town has helped Freebirds
people understand the positive
effects of using bicycles in place of
automobiles. In fact, a bike-thru
window will be introduced soon at
Freebirds in California.
Driving motor vehicles creates
more air pollution than any other
human activity. Thirteen-trillion
cubic yards of motor vehicle
exhaust is annually thrust into the
air we breathe, ultimately
poisoning our crops, destroying
our forests, and harming us
humans. For every gallon of
gasoline our automobiles burn,
twenty pounds of carbon dioxide
is spewed into the air, along will cause Nels
nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, ¥ en provo
hydrocarbons and others. Nelson c
Motor vehicle pollution isso no comm

Athens, Mexico City, Sao Paulo, The inci
and Budapest, that bans on opera: a.m. on Ma

when two-thirds of the land arei

Here in Texas, we have our owe
problems: the highest emissions of ^ TYl

over two times the California f nn tjnued
levels (the next highest state)

We must look beyond the , >
entrenched modes of trans "VVe c i
portation and endorse alternative ^ "Our
transport systems, like bikeways, sa , . ,
that provide for easy and safe ca
mobility, while not harming out
environment or sapping out
economy. City engineers have t
design for shared roadways, and
both motorists and bicyclists musl
learn to respect each other.
Another reason to endorse
bikeways is the concern for safety
Every year in this countt)'
approximately one-half million
people are admitted to a hospital
emergency room and over 1,0M
people die due to bicycle-related
accidents. In Texas, there are at
least 50 bicycle fatalities per year.
Considering the health and
fitness benefits of bicycling, oncf
bicycle travel is made safer and
more efficient with the
development of planned bike'
ways, we will all be able to breathe
a little easier. So vote today at
Freebirds World Burrito for the
C.S. Bikeway Master Plan.
