The Battalion classified ADVERTISING • Easy ► Affordable • Effective Call Sandi For More Information 845-0569 Page 4 The Battalion Monday • May 30, 1994 Irvin will undergo surgery Tuesday IRVING (AP) — Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin is scheduled to un dergo surgery Tuesday to repair his left shoulder and should be ready for the sea son opener Sept. 4, the team says. Irvin suffered a subluxation, which team trainers say is a partial dislocation caused by the joint popping out of place then locking back into the socket. Orthopedic specialist Dr. James An drews of Birmingham, Ala., will perform the operation in Dallas. Cowboys orthopedic surgeon Dr. Robert Vandermeer, who will assist with the pro cedure, said he expects Irvin to be ready for the season opener against Pittsburgh. “I anticipate he will be ready for the start of the season if we do it now,” Van dermeer said Vandermeer said Irvin likely won’t be al lowed to take hits until sometime in Au gust, meaning he’ll miss much of the team’s training camp. The team’s first practice is scheduled for July 15 in Austin. Irvin’s shoulder likely will be immobi lized for three weeks, followed by a reha bilitation program, Vandermeer said.

The 1994 season will mark the 100th season for Aggie New phone feature foils prank callers 'Caller ID' function puts name and number on incoming calls • , HOUSTON (AP) — The age of “electronic peepholes” kicks off in Houston next week with the introduction of Caller ID that allows cus tomers to track names and numbers on incoming calls. The service, provided by Southwestern Bell, premieres Wednesday and is the first of its kind in Texas. Austin is the only other city in Texas with Caller ID, but that service only provides customers with the phone number of the incoming call, not the caller’s name. Provides security “Caller ID is a convenient way for people who want ad ditional security in their tele phone service to avoid unde sirable calls,” said Rick Gamez, a Southwestern Bell general manager. “It’s really an electronic peephole.” Southwestern Bell says it hopes Caller ID service will be available in most metro politan areas in Texas by ear ly next year. Cost about $50 The Caller ID panel can be purchased for about $50. It displays the number and the time and date of the call. With the expanded service, the name of the person or company to whom that num ber is assigned also appears. All of the information ap pears after the first ring, even if the phone remains unanswered. The panel is a small rec tangular box, and can be pro grammed to display informa tion in Spanish or English. So far, about 18,500 cus tomers in the Houston area have pre-ordered the caller ID system. Of those, 88 per cent also ordered the name ID option. Numbers can be blocked However, Southwestern Bell has developed other ser vices to protect callers who wish to remain anonymous. “The system does not force a caller to leave their num ber,” said Wayne Alexander, vice-president of general management. Callers can block their numbers from ever being sent to a Calier ID customer by ob- taining a phone number blocking option that prevents the caller’s number and name from ever being transmitted.

Broderson, who would have been a junior next season, played in all 30 games for the Aggies last season, averaging 4.8 points and 3.1 rebounds per game. As a freshman, he was league play. Broder son played prep bas ketball at Waubonsie Valley High School in Naperville, III.

Edfors places 81st at NCAA Golf Championships Texas A&M sophomore Kristina Edfors finished her fourth and final round at the NCAA Women’s Golf Champi onships at the Oregon Golf Club in West Linn, Ore. Saturday by shooting an 89. Edfors finished the tournament tied for 81st with a total score of 325. “Kristina had one of those days where bad shots seemed to multiply themselves," Texas A&M head coach Jeanne Sutherland said. "Just making the NCAA Championships is a great accomplishment for a young player. She can take this experience and build upon it next season." In her other three rounds, Ed fors fired a 75, 81 and 80 re spectively. Edfors, a sophomore eco nomics major from Kungsbacka, Sweden, is the first Lady Aggie golfer to qualify for the NCAA Championship since Fiona Con nor qualified in 1987.

D uring the ian camp of World II, a young tank ter stumbled uf group of inf antr tailed in front ( mine field. The tenant knew th Axis forces wen proaching and 1 He recklessly hi them out with 1 troops, gatherei the now-clearec Williams Continued from page 3 batters. That averages to 1.21 walks an inning. Show me a starting pitcher that hands out nine or 10 walks in a complete game and gets a win. In Williams’ defense, he does have almost as many strike outs (21) as he has walks. On the other hand, every other pitcher on the As tros’ staff has quite a bit more strike outs than walks. (The only exception to that is Pete Harnisch, who has gone on the disabled list, because of a partial tear in his bicipital tendon.) And you have to think that a batter facing Williams is just so shocked a pitch is a strike he fails to hit it. Pitching in Major League Baseball is an exact science. Gone are the days of a strike zone being from the arm pits to the knees. Try maybe the belt to the knees. It has defi nitely evolved into a hitters game. Williams’ wildly erratic pitching does not work well with this evolution of the game. That’s why he gives up so many walks. And the pitches he does get over don’t have enough movement or speed on them to be effective. Hence, an ERA of 7.57. Perhaps Williams’ biggest fault is the distraction he brings to the team. Blowing so many saves and leads tends to attract a lot of atten tion. Press and on-lookers from around the world come to watch and say, “Hey, how big of a lead will Mitch blow this time?” So far, he hasn’t let his “fans” down. He even has other teams’ crowds rooting for him to en ter the game. Friday night the crowd in Philadelphia (William’s last team) chanted. “We want Mitch! We want Mitch!” Collins gave them their wish and sent Williams in during the bottom of the ninth. They were hoping Williams would turn on his magic and give the Phillies the win. He wasn’t in long enough to have that opportu nity. Of the three batters he faced, he walked Jim Eisenre- ich, hit Mickey Morandini with a pitch, ana gave up a line drive that left fielder Luis Gonzalez had to jump to catch. All in all, though, it is hard to really hate Williams. He seems like a pretty gracious guy. He has said, on more than one occasion, that he oncoming enem 3 Today we be ; different, excep closed.

He even offered to buy John Hudek, who has taken Williams’ closing job, a new pair of boots, because Hudek’s old pair was worn out. Of course, I know a lot of people who are really nice, but don’t know the first thing about pitching. Williams’ day has come. It’s time for the Wild Thing to be put out to pasture. Number of skin cancer cases likely to keep increasing Sunscreen may not protect 1,600 Texans expected to develop melanoma in 1994 AIDS Continued from page 1 DALLAS (AP) — Mela noma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, is of more concern to doctors than ever before, with the number of cases ris ing about 4 percent a year since the 1970s. With more people moving to southern states and evidence that the earth’s protective ozone layer is thinning, public health officials worry that the cancer will only get worse, The Dallas Morning News reported in its Saturday editions. In 1960, one American in 600 was diagnosed with melanoma. By 2000, that number is expected to be one in 75. This year, the American Cancer Society expects 32,000 new cases, about 1,600 of those in Texas. For all skin cancers in the United States, the numbers are expected to exceed 700,000. In southern states, about 30 percent of the population is ex pected to develop skin cancer at some point in their lives. “It’s particularly tragic be cause it affects young people,” said Dallas dermatologist J.B. Howell, who has seen melanoma rates climb during his 50 years in practice. The newspaper said scien tists are constantly working out strategies to protect sun worshippers. Among recent findings, Texas researchers have fo cused attention on sunscreen, suggesting that the lotion might not be the chemical suit of armor that many people be lieve it to be. Also, doctors are now em phasizing children’s exposure to sunlight as a foreshadowing of their melanoma risks as adults. To protect the eyes as well as the skin, a San Antonio sci entist has come up with a new kind of sunglasses that guard against, the potentially harm ful effects of visible light as well as ultraviolet light. “We’re exposing ourselves more to sunlight, and we’re starting to see the conse quences,” said Stephen Ullrich of the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Dr. William Jacott, a family practitioner at the University of Minnesota and a board member of the American Med ical Association, joined doctors from three other professional associations Friday in issuing their strongest warning yet that children are in gi eat dan ger from the sun’s rays. The organizations issued a set of guidance called “Save Our Skin” that emphasize keeping children out of the sun and protecting them with an SPF-15 sunscreen when they go outside. mg. The proposal brought a wide variety of reactions and a great deal of discus sion between the senators. Dr. Karen Kubena, a senator from the College of Agriculture, said she was vehemently opposed to the course. “I would have a problem with such a course being in the core curriculum,” Kube na said. Dr. Richard Feldman, a senator from the College of Engineering, said he also objected to the committee’s report. “The only solution to this problem (AIDS) is absti nence before marriage," Feldman said. However, Dr. John Gelderd, chair of the HIV/AIDS subcommittee, said the program is the best way to educate every one at A&M about AIDS. “We want to make sure everyone on campus is edu cated about AIDS,” Gelderd said. “There is no resolu tion our body can pass that will prevent a large percent age of students from engag ing in sexual activities.” Dr. Steve Oberhelman, a senator from the College of Liberal Arts, said the pro gram would be a great step for Texas A&M. “If something like this can prevent the death of just one Texas A&M Uni versity student, I am in fa vor of it,” Oberhelman said.
