Bike-to-Work (and School)
Day on Friday
Ride your bicycle to Freebirds World
Burrito for a free burrito
By Kevin Cochran
Why did over 1,000 people in
Austin get recognized for peddling
their bikes to work recently? They
participated in Austin's annual
Bike-to-Work Day.
Bicycle commuters in Austin
and elsewhere realize the benefits
associated with bicycle riding.
Commuting to work by bicycle
relaxes the central nervous system,
improves mood and sharpens
mental activity, while commuting
by car raises blood pressure, low
ers frustration tolerance and fos
ters negative moods, a University
of California study found.
An estimated 50% of all auto
mobile travel in the U.S. is for trips
of less than five miles, which is
also the most polluting distance for
cars because the engine is cold
during short trips. According to
the Environmental Protection
Agency, every 1% reduction in
short car trips results in a 2%
reduction in carbon monoxide pol
lution. A national study by the
Netherlands also estimates that
each motorist who uses a bike
instead of a car for trips of three
miles or less will save at least $500
per year-and save society road
maintenance and other costs.
"Current trends such as global
warming, traffic congestion and
dependence on imported oil neces
sitate focusing on the bicycle as
part of the transportation solu
tion," says the U.S. Transportation I
Study Board. By commuting by
bicycle more often, you can help
Texas A&M be part of that solu
tion.
This Friday the Brazos Valley!
Cyclists (BVC) chapter of the Texas]
Bicycle Coalition will host Bryan-
College Station's first annual Bike-1

Spread of coyote rabies causes vaccine airdrop
The Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — Attempting
to stop the northward spread of
coyote rabies, state officials are plan
ning to airdrop dog food laced with
a new vaccine along a 40-mile-wide
swath between Corpus Christi and
Del Rio.
“We’ve got a window of oppor
tunity to confine it to South Texas,”
said Dr. Gayne Fearneyhough, who
heads the coyote oral vaccine project
for the Texas Department of Health.
The target is a canine strain of
the disease that has adapted to coy
otes in the wild. First spotted in
Starr County in late 1988, the new
strain has been carried by coyotes
northward from 15 counties south
of San Antonio.
“The disease could spread north
ward into Canada and coast-to-coast
across the United States,” Fearney
hough said in Mondays editions of
the San Antonio Express-News.
The plan is to drop die new vac
cine from airplanes throughout the
remote brush country ranchlands,
beginning possibly by early next
year.
Researchers at Texas A&M Uni
versity in College Stadon are work
ing on the vaccine, and the bait is
being developed at Texas A&M-
Kingsville.
Guy Moore, surveillance coordi
nator with the state health agency’s
Division of Zoonosis Control, said
the goal is to stop the northward
advance of the strain, then work
back toward the Mexican border.
When researchers began work
ing last year, Fearneyhough said, it
seemed the outbreak had spread no
farther than a line from Laredo to
Corpus Christi.
But rabid coyotes have turned
up in LaSalle, Live Oak and Mc
Mullen counties in the past five
months, so the western end of
that line must now be moved al
most 100 miles north to Del Rio,
Moore said.
"It just depends on where the
disease is when we get ready to be
gin dropping the baits,” Moore said.
Investigators at Texas A&M-
Kingsville have concocted a bait of
ground, dry dog food mixed with
a polymer binding agent.
Experts complain that coyotes
will eat almost anything - except
what humans want them to.
Coyote trappers have fashioned

mals and other items,

people and injured more than
150, no violence was reported
Tuesday. Election officials said they
were generally pleased with the
voting, despite some glitches.
"I can’t wait to vote,” said 29-
year-old David Maimola, speaking
from a hospital bed where he is re
covering from injuries sustained in
a bomb blast Sunday.
“After what has happened to
me ... I want a new government.”
The election, set to conclude
Thursday night, will select a na
tional assembly and nine provin
cial assemblies. The ANC is expect
ed to win about 60 percent of the
vote. Second place should go to de
Klerk’s National Party.
The 7 5-year-old Mandela is ex
pected to be sworn in as president
of South Africa’s first democratic
government on May 10. He will
govern a deeply divided country,
with unemployment and illiteracy
higher than 50 percent among
blacks.
The vote brings to a close an era
in which 5 million whites domi
nated 3 5 million blacks, browns
and Asians was coming to a close.
“It’s the end of an epoch,” said
Adeline Barkhuizen, 66, who lives
on a farm outside Pretoria. “It will
be difficult for the Afrikanerp®
pie.”
Many whites said the;
the blacks’ joy. “I never tl
would see the day when I woil
wish I was a black person,"®
thused one white caller to
radio station.
