Tuesday, October 9, 7:30-9 pm I 1 State Page 12 THE BATTALION Monday, October8,2' Running to the chicken STUART VILLANUEVA •THE BATTALION Dressed as a chicken, senior speech communica tions major Kim Snelson watches as a blur of run ners pass by during the Delta Zeta Run to the Chicken. Almost 1,700 runners took to the streets of Northgate Saturday morning to raise moneyfoi the American Red Cross and the Houston Ea 1 Research Foundation. The event was organized^ the Delta Zeta Sorority. Alert Continued from Page 1 Increased security was evident nationwide. The Coast Guard expanded armed defense of major ports Sunday and added special security zones around sensitive piers, waterways and other facilities in the agency’s largest port defense oper ation since World War II. Within hours of the first strikes by American and British warplanes, Missouri shut the doors at its state Capitol to visitors, Utah state troopers were shifted from their desks to the highways and airport officials in Chicago, Detroit. Kansas City and Florida further tightened security. The Energy Department placed its facilities, including nuclear weapons laboratories and nuclear materials storage areas, on a heightened level of security, spokeswoman Jeanne Lopato said. District of Columbia police closed off a main street in front of the State Department as a pre caution. Americans overseas were warned of the possibility of “strong anti-American sentiment and retaliatory actions against U.S. citizens and interests throughout the world.” President Bush remained at the White House, working from the Oval Office and the first family’s residential quarters. Vice President Dick Cheney was taken elsewhere, presumably so the two lead ers would not be in the same place should disaster strike, but the White House would not say where. “The current operating instructions are based on the possibility of additional terrorist activity occurring somewhere in the world,” the FBI Airport traffic was running normally. Marcia Adams, speaking for the Federal Av Administration, She said the FA A did not semi any new directives to airlines or airports. The Coast Guard ordered 24-hour armed veillance at more than 300 U.S. ports, cove every major point of entry, spokesman Cmdi. McPherson said. The agency increased from 31 to 72 the her of special security zones surroundine: facilities as nuclear power plants and piers« oil is loaded and unloaded, McPherson said Together, the changes added up tothelaij Coast Guard mobilization to defend U.S.port! more than 50 years, McPherson said. “A lot of this is because of the USSColfiK dent,” McPherson said, referring to tteittik attack on a Navy ship moored in YementeyM that killed 17 sailors and injuring 37. The changes followed an increase Thursday the amount of notice that all ships must give enter U.S. ports, McPherson said. Instead of hours, ship captains must provide 96-hournoh and the Coast Guard then checks crew, passes and cargo manifests. McPherson would notsay the change was in preparation for Sunday’! tary strikes. Since the Sept. II terrorist attacks in York and Washington, the Coast Guardi maintained separate naval protection around Navy and Coast Guard ships, aprocei that had not been used since World McPherson said. , -E Accidental shooting death of 12-year-old goes to grand jury NEWS IN BRIEF Friday at the vic- HOUSTON (AP) - A grand jury will hear a case involving the acci dental shooting death of a 12- year-old boy in Fort Bend County.
