Breaking all records, the nation was hit by a three month heatwave which began on June 7 and persisted through September 16. The 69 day series of lOO degree plus temperatures killed more than 1 200 people and caused $20 billion in damage nationwide. The Dallas Fort Worth area was one of the nardest hit areas in the country. Texas was reported as having 277 heat related deaths. On the whole, elderly people living in unairconditioned and poorly ventilated homes were the victims of the blistering heat. Athletes were urged not to participate in sports activities between 12 noon and 5 pm to avoid heat stroke. Intensifying the yearlong drought, the heat seriously jeopardized water resources by drying up area lakes, killing more than $700 million in livestock and $871 million crops in Texas alone. Water rationing was enforced during the summer due to the considerable drops in the levels of area reservoirs. Concessions, Fund Source Serving as the Latin Club ' s main source of income, members worked in concession stands at Tornado Soccer games, and SMU and Dallas Cowboy football games in Texas Stadium. To foot the bills for a convention trip in March and to supply the club with added money for monthly activities, parties, and banquets, 25% of the profits were placed in the clubs activity fund. The remaining money was divided among the workers in the stand. When asked about the project, Sponsor Ann Price stated, Working Texas stadium concessions enables the members an opportun- ity to make money for the club as well as for themselves. It ' s a chance to work with others, acquire responsibility, and have fun.
