Second death puts
experiment at risk
SPACE CENTER, Houston
(AP) — And then there were two.
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.

“Anytime you bring people
in for conferences or meetings,
they are spending money in our
stores and contributing to our
economy,” he said.
Ringer also said the center
will provide the community a
facility for hosting conferences
and conventions.
Wally Groff, A&M athletic
director, said the center will be

“The center will be a first-
class facility for commence
ment ceremonies and Aggie
Muster and give Texas A&M
an arena comparable to those
at other institutions in the new
Big 12 Conference,” he said.
Larry Ringer, mayor of Col
lege Station, said he is pleased
with the approval of the center.
“This is something the Uni
versity has needed for a long
time,” Ringer said. “But I also
see it as a benefit to the corn-
program.
“We’re delighted,” he said.
“This is long overdue. I think
this is something that will help
propel our basketball teams
into the Big 12.”
He said the center will con
tribute to A&M’s recruitment
programs.
“This is the last of the major
facilities that is needed to help
complete our athletic program
facilities,” he said.
He said he is optimistic that

without recognizing there will
be consequences.
“Encouraging people to recy
cle does little good if there is no
market for recyclable products,”
Sharp said.
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.”

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.

curriculum.
“We are trying a new ap
proach to a 15- or 20-year-old
problem,” he said. “Our goal is
to make it useful to the schools
by incorporating new things
with the old.”
The program will be tested at
two local schools, College Sta
tion Junior High and Oakwood
Middle School.
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.
