Scientists scrambled today to save the “astronewt” experiment aboard Columbia after the death of a second female adult newt in less than a week. Astronaut Donald Thomas found the dead animal late Sun day while checking on two small water chambers holding three adult newts and scores of new borns and embryos. Two of the 82 laboratory ex periments aboard Columbia de pend on the newts. One focuses on the creatures’ inner-ear de velopment in space, while the other concentrates on adult fer tilization and embryo develop ment. Scientists handpicked four adult newts and 144 eggs to send into space aboard the shut tle. The adults were injected with hormones to induce them to lay eggs in orbit. One adult died last week, ap parently from stress.

The Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission said a market for recyclable materi als exists in Texas. Erv Sandlin, TNRCC pro gram manager of the Recycling Market Development Program, said the General Service Com mission has rewritten state specifications to accommodate recycled products. “The change has increased the demand for recycled products by offering a broader product list,” Sandlin said. “This expanded list allows more people access to a greater number of recycled prod ucts at a reduced rate.” Although Texas A&M is pro moting recycling and the use of recycled products, Sandlin said more could be done if participa tion was higher. Joe Sanchez, A&M recycling coordinator, said that during the 1993 fiscal year Texas A&M picked up approximately 380 tons of office paper and card board for recycling. A&M saved 6,460 mature trees, 1,216 cubic meters of landfill space, 22,800 pounds of air polluting effluents, 144,400 gallons of oil and 1,558,000 kilo watt-hours of electricity by us ing the products, he said. The University also saves $6,840 when it doesn’t dispose of waste in a landfill. “Even though these statistics may sound impressive, it really only constitutes 65 percent of the campus’s recyclable paper,” he said. “The numbers aren't nearly as high as they could be.” William Hutto, assistant manager for A&M Custodial Services, said more could be done on campus to help the re cycling effort. “There are recycling contain ers around campus,” he said. “If students would just put their white paper in the containers instead of throwing it away, we would begin to see an increased rate of recycled materials.” Sanchez said the A&M recy cling program recycles several types of paper and aluminum cans. “We collect 750 pounds of alu minum each month,” he said, “this number is also lower than it could be. “Students need to get in volved and realize the impor tance of recycling,” he said. “This may mean learning to be less wasteful, but if we don’t take the step now it may never come again.” ty Jan Hig< IheBattalic Texas A&. teek in defe tharged for words.

Shootout Continued from Page 1 box, the Brazilian players saluted the crowd, held up their medals, and then raised the World Cup trophy high, to an ova tion that reverberated off the surrounding San Gabriel Moun tains. Brazil nearly broke the deadlock in the fourth minute of ex tra time, but Bebeto misplayed a perfect cross from Cafu off his knee. Pagliuca scrambled like a desperate squirrel to get to the loose ball before Romario pounced on it. Earlier, in the 76th minute, Pagliuca made what could have been a grievous error, hobbling a shot by Mauro Silva that bounced toward the net. But it rolled softly off the goalpost. Pagliuca grabbed the ball and then kissed his hand and patted the helpful post. He got even more help from captain Baresi, returning to the Italian defense three weeks after arthroscopic knee surgery. The veteran of three World Cups was everywhere, stymying nearly every Brazilian opportunity. Even he couldn’t last in the heat, cramping badly in the fi nal minutes of overtime, then missing in the shootout. Brazil won the World Cup in 1958, 1962 and 1970. Its fail ure in the next five tournaments increased the pressure on the team and the criticism at home. Now, the brilliant Brazilians — clearly the best team in the 7, event before Sunday — are an undisputed No. 1. But the Italians aren’t far behind. They struggled early, barely making it out of the first round. They needed Baggio’s late-game heroics twice to continue. bloodbath In Rws 258 Amer voy to neif “When where the lems that den syster refined,” s Embass each resp group of 7 through through n appropriat Becaus< William S with the 7 recently or Accordi ley Schra: expulsion monitors t upcoming Prance, tb erished na Bringing By Christ!

Gerald Wynn, principal at Oakwood Middle School, said the program may not be ready until the end of the next school year. “We have not decided on any thing yet since the advisory committee will not meet until the beginning of fall,” he said- “However, I strongly agree that there is a definite need for this type of program, and sixth grade is a good age to get the children to start thinking about highway safety. College Station will be the first city to implement and es tablish this program, Kline said, but the goal is for it to become a statewide project. The Safety Education Pro gram previously pioneered the Dusty Dillo project, a successful highway safety program for sec ond- and fourth-graders. The Dusty Dillo project is now used in elementary schools statewide. Few peo country ch opening in C Prairie Roac Pebble C sites, an 18- soon featui clubhouse.
