HomeMy WebLinkAboutBattalion 1976_3_30Canine pageant held at Kyle Field By KEVIN VENNER James M. Parrish spoke softly to Tasha. "Now don't move, baby, or you'll mess up your hair." Tasha was shaking either because of the cool breeze blowing on her moistened hair or because she was nervous about the dogs and people around her. "I don't think Tasha gets as nerv- ous as I do," said Parrish as he sprayed Adorn onto the poodle's coat. Parrish said that Brazos Valley's first major dog show and obedience trial, held Saturday at Kyle Field, would be the last competition the champion toy poodle would enter. He said Tasha was getting too old to show and that he was going to use her for breeding. Over 85 breeds were represented among the 1,471 dogs entered in the competition sanctioned by the American Kennel Club (AKC). Con- testants came from as far away as California and Florida. Vans, trailers, mobile homes and portable cages filled the parking lot. Bumper stickers identified the breed or kennel the vehicle repre- sented and warned cars not to follow too closely. A few of the stickers read "ASK ABOUT MY GRANDDOG ". Robert M. Peebles, handler of a dog named Story Tale Full of Pride, said that he spends up to eight hours grooming the champion poodle. Peebles guarded the dog carefully and told a spectator, who attempted to remove a piece of grass from the poodle's fur, not to touch the animal. Story Tale Full of Pride placed first in the variety group for non - sporting breeds. Leet, a lhasa apso, had to get her bangs curled before entering one of the 13 judging arenas.

All candidates running for class pres- idencies, student body president, student government vice presidencies, RHA presi- dent and yell leader are asked to come to the photo lab studio in the basement of the Reed McDonald Building.

The play tells the story of supposedly magical clothes which will allow the emperor to tell which had bows tied on their heads and others wore toenail polish. The odors at the show were dis- tinctive. The grooming areas smel- led like a beauty shop, while the area in which the handlers walked the dogs smelled definitely offensive. Alertness was important while . mingling closely with the dogs. One woman would have received a wash for her shoes from a yorkshire terrier if not for a quick jerk from its owner. Several stepped into substances they immediately found less than de- sirable. Nancy Stricklin, owner of Aggie- land Kennels, said that this AKC dog show and obedience trial repre- sented about seven years of prepara- tion by the Brazos Valley Kennel Club Inc. She said that during these years, a series of matches were held that were judged and evaluated by the AKC. a; F� staff photo by Dm,gla, %i inship of his subjects is worthy of his position.

Student Government Thursday's student senate meeting declared illegal The student senate meeting held last Thursday night was declared null and void by speaker protein Joe Marcello. At the meeting, a resolution was passed to allow people with a 2.25 over -all G.P.R. to run for class office. The present regula- tion says a person must have a 2.5 over -all G. P. R. to run for a class executive position. The meeting was declared illegal be- cause neither the proper three -day mail notice nor the 24 -hour personnel contact regulation were followed to call the special meeting.

Robinson, DVM, who also lives in College Station, said she had a good Saturday. Her papillon, Mickthea Alegria, won the best of breed competition and also won the variety group for the toy breeds. The dog, which resembles a long- haired Chihuahua, competed against 222 dogs for best of toy breed. The best dog in show had an easy first win. Champion Saddlewood Sam's Song was the only sealyham terrier entered in its best of breed competition. The terrier then com- peted against 137 terriers to win its variety group. The champion, owned by Mrs. Richard Lee Etter of Houston, then defeated the best of each of the other five variety group winners. Tuesday, Mar. 30, 1976 Bones and stones are fearfully dull, yet their relationship to other sciences gives them direct correlation to man today, said Richard Leakey, anthropologist. Leakey is the man considered responsi- ble for tracing back the history of man al- most a million years. He addressed a capac- ity crowd in Rudder Auditorium last night as a part of the Great Issues series, "The Nature of Man." "Our planet today faces a very grave moment," said Leakey. "Not only do we have the capability to destroy ourselves, but the very source of life itself: our envi- ronment." Leakey said the human species has a spe- ci� relationship with the environment. in the past 5,000 years man has switched roles with Mother Nature and be- 'come the master of the environment. He said the problem facing America should be considered a problem facing the world. "Through the excesses of technology we have created pollutants, technical excreta and weaponry to destroy our world," Leakey continued. "The question is not the survival of one country over another, but the survival of the planet," he said. "The solution requires a great effort toward a philosophy for the commonality of mankind." The origin of all people is important to the common characteristics of people. and junior of education, senior of science, the women's 4 -dorm group, the men's older dorm group, university apartments, off - campus graduate and undergraduate, senior secretary and historian. Three vice presidencies, external affairs, rules and regulations and academic affairs are also unopposed. The election will be held on April 7 and 8 with all presently enrolled students eligible to vote. Students must have their identifi- cation cards and student activity cards with them when they vote. Polling places will be the Commons, out- side Sbisa, first floor MSC, first floor Zac- hry Engineering Center, and the Guard Room. Yearbook price to The Aggieland for 1977 will cost students $5 more than this year's the Student Publications Board decided last night. The board also began interviews for 1976 -77 editors for The Battalion and Aggieland. New editors will be chosen and announced by the board tonight. The board voted unanimously to increase the student price of the Ag- aieland to $15. Over - the - counter price will be $20. The 1976 yearbook is sold to students for $10 and over - the- counter for $20. Bob Rogers, chairman of the board, told the group the increase had already been approved by ad- ministration officials. Board approval puts the new price into effect im- mediately to accommodate orders for next year's book during pre- registration; April 26-30. Increases in both the size of indi- vidual books and the number of books produced have forced the price increase, Rogers said. "Its very success requires that we no longer allow a $5-6 loss per book," he said. Aggieland Editor Gary Baldasari told the board that more color artwork added to production ex- penses. Printing and photography costs also added to total production cost. Each of the first 10,000 of this year's books cost $12.80, Gael Cooper, director of student publica- tions, told the group. The first 10,000 books for 1977 will cost about $15 each, he said, but because of reduced rates for the larger order actual expense will be somewhat lower than that. Over - the - counter sales, which are made primarily to former students, also reduce average cost per book. The Battalion and Aggieland editors' interviews took most of the two and a half hour meeting. Battal- ion Contributing Editor Sanford Russo and News Editor T.C. Gal - lucci interviewed for the paper's editorship. Aggieland Editor Gary Baldasari interviewed for a second year as yearbook editor. Acting Battalion Editor Roxie Hearn and Staff Writer Jerry Needham will interview for Battal- ion editor tonight, as will candidate for Aggieland editor Timothy Har- relson. "Whoever we are, we have one origin," he said. "And whoever we are, we have one destiny." Leakey has no formal university educa- tion. He received practical training in paleo - anthropology from his parents, Doc- tors Louis and Mary Leakey, in the Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania. In 1967, Leakey flew over the wastelands of Lake Rudolf in Ethiopia's Omo Valley. Heavily eroded deposits of sediment led him to suspect that "somewhere down there lies the key." He returned in 1968 with a team of investigators to trace the outlines of the valley. Leakey and his research team are re- sponsible for uncovering the Au- stralopithecus skull and the more famous "1470" skull at Lake Rudolf in Kenya. "The origin of Australopithecus is not known," said Leakey. "All records prior to 3.5 million years are very vague." At the present there are only four speci- mens of man earlier than 3.5 million years: the piece of a lower jaw, an arm bone and two teeth. "Texts are written 'about two a week' on this subject," said Leakey. "They show drawings of man at 14 million years; a rather inelegant little fellow with a hunched back. "At nine to ten million years, he appears the same. At six to seven million years, he is bigger, upright and is usually carrying something in his hand. Yet, all we have are a few little teeth." The discovery of the "1470" skull, Leakey said, led to the suggestion by colleagues that "1470" was only a freak of the Au- stralopithecus. Since that time, two other skulls have been pieced together. Pluto courtesy of Tim Sages SPACE CITY This city is one of Don Craven's models on display at AggieCon VII. Voter registration ends Thursday "If''1470' was a freak, then we have ; Iars,e number of freaks," he said. Leakey said the uncovering of a greater number of skulls as compared to other body parts is due to animals eating the corpses The head has very few edible parts, Leaked said, so it is not eaten by "those that are it that line of business." Many conclusions are now being drawl about the body structure of early man Leakey said a man 100,000 years old dres sed in a conservative manner would lool as respectable as anyone you'd meet in al international airport."

Messiri spoke on "Zionism and Racism." Zionism is the movement to establish a Jewish state in Pales- tine. Although Zionism is harmful to the Arabs, and must be contained, Messiri said that it is possible for both Arabs and Jews to live together peacefully. "Zionism is a political matter, not a religious one. Only Christ can lead Jews back to the Promised Land, not (former Israeli prime ministers) Golda Meir or Ben- Gurion," he said.

High land prices and rising property and inheritance taxes are major problems faced by the farmer, he said. "We've got to have some tax relief for the farmer to keep him in busi- ness," Godbey said. "It's the same for the dairyman and the rancher." Godbey favors fluctuation of farm prices on the open market in order for the farmer to make money. Agriculture is important in main, taining the United States' role as an international leader, Godbey said. "Russia is dependent on us for food and as long as they are dependent, they won't bomb us."

Corporal punishment should be used judiciously and as an absolute last resort. Is there a drug problem in the district? If so, what corrective mea- sures should be taken? I'm not aware of it.

I'd have to say yes and no. They've worked very hard. Thev've tried very diligently to put this package together for a bond issue to expand the tkeilities. At the same time, I believe that the first bond issue would have passed if it had been pre- sented to the voters in enough detail that each voter could have analyzed what was there in terms of his needs and what he wanted. I think maybe there needs to be more responsive- ness to the citizens and more aware- ness to the fact that the citizens do own the school system, so to speak. They have a right to know what the board is doing. We need to have people on the board that will guaran- tee that every taxpayer gets his money's worth.

In addition, a referendum on the ballot asks voters to choose between two methods of electing city officials. In a normal election year, only four of the positions would be up for election. Two additional vacancies were created when two councilmen resigned to run for mayor after Mayor O. M. Holt announced he would not seek re- election. One of these candidates, Bob Bell, later dropped out of the race and filed for another council posi- tion. Two of the positions are unofficially filled because the candidates are running unop- posed.

I think we have to move forward on a plan for bicycle paths, taking recognition of the fact that there's quite a large number of college students and non - college stu- dents who ride bicycles on and off the A &M campus, and to and from the A &M Con- solidated schools. I think we need to con - tinue working for an adequate and fine park system. Are you in favor of the construction of Millican Dam after the lignite coal is mined in the area? Construction of Millican Dam downstream from College Station has never particularly appealed to me. College Station doesn't need the water.

Again, the city doesn't need the water and we don't need the recreation. If the dam is built upstream it'll be built primarily for people in Houston and for the people in Brazoria County, that is the Dow Chemical Company. It won't particularly benefit Brazos County. Are you in favor of extending liquor hours to 2 a.m. on weekends? If Bryan is not willing to extend their hours similar to College Station I think we would be very unwise extending our hours. If College Station had longer hours it would be a possibility that we could attract an undesirable element from all over the county. On the other hand, if Bryan were willing to adopt the same hours, then it would be a good thing because the people who particu- larly don't care to drink would have a little longer to get home before having to worry about drunks on the road. Should College Station purchase their utilities from a source other than Bryan? The Bryan offer to date has been in- adequate, and if that's the best that comes out of Bryan we'll switch over to another system entirely. With water, you can make the same observations. If we feel that 4 � d I• Y���rt s a � +. ;;- ,x:. «. «« Larry Bravenec 1 ,. « « Bryan's offer is not competitive what we'll probably do is drill our own well. As a general rule, you're better off owning than buying from someone else. We do not feel (See Bravenec, page 10) Anne Hazen Anne Hazen, 44, 1205 Munson Are., member of College Station Safety Committee, League of Women Voters. 0o you have any specific program phnned as a council member? We are growing so fast that we're no pluming. If we have a plan, we can antici pte our need for more sewer and wate lees, power, what roads need to be re ?aired and built, and approximately wher ,ur parks are going to be. There is a maste plan, done by Pinnell Associates, and it i available. The city council has accepte parts of it but they have never utilized th whole formal plan. The council should de cide whether we are going to follow i exactly or whether we are going to chang some of it. But I think it should be decide what we are going to do and then do it. Are you in favor of the construction o Millican Dam after the lignite coal i mined in the area? I think it is very hard to project what th needs of the community are going to be a the time this is done. I certainly, at this point, don't foresee a need for Millican Dam. That does not say that in 10 or 15 years there won't be a need. From what I've read, there are other sources of water that are available. I understand there's another dam on the Navasota River. I don't think that we have any immediate need, and I'm not so sure that it's the job of the council per se to worry about the needs in s 10 or 15 years. I think now the most impor- tant thing is to make plans to utilize the t lignite. Are you in favor of extending liquor hours to 2 a.m. on weekends? No, I'm not. It's a weekend and if people e want to drink and start at eight or nine, r they've certainly had enough by midnight. s Most everyone who lives in College Station would be able to take it home with them. I e feel that they should be at home if they're going to drink, rather than out on the road. t I think we have other priorities that come e ahead of putting extra policemen on the d road between 12 and three a.m. If there is f any money to go around, it should be put toward more protection during the day s when we have a lot more people who have to travel to school and to work. e Should College Station purchase their t utilities from a source other than Bryan? I think College Station should seek out all possible sources in order to get the best School Board Place l candidates favor vocational facilities, wise spending Elliott Bray Elliott Bray, 35,1104 Merry Oaks, man- ager of data base systems, registrar, Texas A &M. President of College Hills PTO, member of Citizen's Advisory Committee. Why .do you think you're qualified to hold a position on the school board? I've served on the Citizen's Advisory Committee looking at the bond issue pro- positions. I've been president of the PTO this year at College Hills Elementary. Other school board candidate inter- views, »ages 8 and 9. These reinforce the fact that I am very con- cerned about what goes on on the school board. What do you consider to be the highest priorities of the board? One of the board's basic functions is in the area of buildings. If we are to pass this $6 million bond issue, one of the highest priorities is to make sure it is spent wisely and things are organized. Are you in favor of the April 3rd bond issue? What objections, if any, do you have to it? I spent some twelve sessions of three to five hours apiece on the citizen's advisory committee. We have to base it on the col- lective judgement, but I believe the needs are there. Would you support another bond elec- tion if this one fails? Yes, we cannot avoid the fact that there are 866 students in a high school built for 800; that we are going to have 167 graduate and 249 come in from the eighth grade. We are looking at 70 to 80 additional students in an already crowded school. But that is just the high school. We have similiar types of problems in the elementary schools. Should the curriculum be expanded on both the elementary and secondary levels? What courses should he included? I think we've just come through a sig- nificant type of change over the past few years. We have just recently converted from a grouping type of situation where students were grouped according to ability, to more of a diverse classroom attitude. I think there is going to have to be some ! f 0 Elliott Bray assimilation time. I don't think my function is to propose curricula. My function is to (See Bray page 10) Lambert Wilkes Lambert Wilkes, 49, 501 Park Place, professor of agricultural engineering at Texas A &M. School board member five years. Why do you think you're qualified to hold a position on the school board? I've been in teaching for over 20 years. I've taught at Texas A &M University, the University of Arkansas, as well as New Mexico State University. I've been on the board for about five years. What do yob consider to be the highest priorities of the board? The highest priority would be the vo- cational facilities at the high school. About tine -half of the students have indicated no interest in college so we have quite a few Students who are not being trained for an occupation. In addition to providing the training program and the space for it, some of the crowded conditions that exist at the high school will also be alleviated (through the facilities.) Are you in favor of the April 3rd bond issue? What objections, if any, do you have to it? I will not vote for the bond issue as it is proposed. My main objection is that I do not feel the people have a choice in the number of different items that are pre- sented in the bond issue. I made several attempts to get this into the form of propo- sitions so that the voters could indicate which ones they would support. The pro- grams we really need are suffering due to the fact that we are trying to get some pro- grams that are perhaps controversial in some peoples' minds passed also. Would you support another bond elec- tion if this one fails? Yes, we need the vocational facilities. I would not support a bond issue of this mag- nitude, however. We may have to come back with a couple of smaller issues to go ahead and obtain the necessary funds to meet the immediate needs. If we try to get it all into one bond issue I think we are going to have to go to separate propo- sitions. Should the curriculum be expanded on both the elementary and secondary levels? What courses should be included? Voters to decide on bond For the second time in less than six months College Station voters will go to the polls Saturday to decide on a multi - million school bond issue. The earlier issue failed. . Besides the bond proposal, three po- sitions on the A &M Consolidated School Board are up for election. Place 1 Trustee Lambert Wilkes is the only incumbent seeking re- election. Board President Nancy Donaldson and Trustee Charles Hensarling chose not to seek another term. Those two vacancies have attracted nine candidates between them. Only one candi- date is challenging Wilkes for his position. Four persons have filed for Donaldson's Place 2 spot, while Cave candidates, includ- ing a Texas A &M student, are contesting for the Place 4 opening. The major issue of the school board cam- paign, however, is the proposed $6.4 mil- lion bond issue. , Last November, voters defeated a $5.3 million proposal which would have pro- vided for a new elementary school and other improvements in the district. The issue failed by 120 votes and the school board subsequently sent it to a citizen's advisory committee for further study. The committee submitted the revised proposal to the board in February and the board placed it on Saturday's ballot. The issue includes $2.4 million for the A &M Consolidated High School, most of it for a new vocational wing. Also included is $1.7 million for a new 5th and 6th grade school, physical education facilities for the two elementary schools, and maintenance improvements. If the issue is approved by voters, prop- erty takes would increase about 11 per cent, from $1.77 per $100 assessed valua -. tion to $1.97 per $100. All except two of the eleven school board candidates support the proposed bond is- sue, although about half say they feel it should have been divided into separate propositions. rate for the citizens.

No. Having lived in an area where a ward system worked, ward conno- tates somewhat dirty politics or ward politics. I don't feel here in College Station we need a ward system. A three and three system where we got some council members at -large and some from wards. But having the en- tire city as six districts is not reason - able. We have several different interest groups that have brought up wards, the students are one. Personally if the students wanted'somebody on the city council they could put some- one in. Historically the students have not participated in city gov- ernment, which is unfortunate. The other group is afraid of the student vote, they say students can hold the whole council if they so desire, and this is true. I'm not afraid of the stu- dents taking over the city council. They are citizens here and most of the students live off campus. How do you think the ambulance service should be handled in Bryan - College Station? Never having had to use it I am not too familiar with it but I'd rather see a city or regional council handling the ambulance system. I think it's Earn extra cash as a plasma donor at Plasma Products, Inc. 313C College Main College Station going to have to be a tax- supported situation. Private enterprises, I don't. think, will be responsive. At least from reading all the accounts in the newspapers, people have been dis- satisfied with some of the support of private enterprises. I personally see nothing wrong with the fire depart- ment handling it, Are you satisfied with the en- forcement of existing ordinances? Do you have any plans for new de- velopmental controls? No I'm not satisfied. More than 50 per cent of the signs in College Sta- tion are illegal. We are going to have to have people enforce it. We don't have enough people in the tax office to keep our tax'rofls up to date. We have a significant number of people a whose property is not on the tax rolls because he deed has never been transferred from he court house. Another ordinance which is not enforced to its absolute is the animal.' control ordinance. Avid control is'� necessary from a health standpoint' and for protection of the animals. We are no longer a free - ranging society and these ordinances must be en- forced for the welfare of the people. Np11g(•.

I feel we are probably placing too much emphasis on utility revenues and we need to seek better sources. Are you in favor of extending liquor hours to 2 a. m. on weekends? I'm not necessarily working for it but I see no reason why it shouldn't be done. I've lived in and visited other cities where these are the hours and I see no reason why Col- lege Station couldn't handle the same situation. Are you in favor of the construc- tion of Millican Dam after the lig- nite coal is mined in the area? I'm not sure what the area would be like after the coal is mined but I hope it will be left in a reasonably good environmental condition. I have not been in favor of Millican reservoir up to this point and I don't see how the extraction of the coal would change my feeling on that. There are a lot of other issues involv- ing the reservoir that have yet to be looked into such as the controlling of the land use around the reservoir and similar problems. Until there is an indication that someone is looking into these I would not favor the building of the reservoir. Should College Station purchase its utilities from a source other than Bryan? If a better contract than the one that's currently before the two groups should come up then I think we probably should. We should get our utilities — water, gas, and elec- tric — from the most reasonable and reliable source that we can. Why are you running? I'm sure a lot of the reason is be- cause of my background and experi- ence in the profession of city plan- ning. I've studied cities, and I've worked with a number of cities. I feel that I can contribute to our own community, particularly in this period when we are experiencing growth which has both problems and opportunities. I want to be sure that we take advantage of the oppor- tunities to the extent that we can keep the problems from becoming large issues. Would you like to see College Sta- tion change to a ward system of elec- tion, as proposed in the referendum on the April 3 ballot? Not as proposed on the April 3 ballot. I do favor a modified system where part of the council would be elected at large and part by wards or districts. I was disappointed that the charter commission selected the more extreme proposal which may I think it should be better than it is now. This is a suggestion that I know is strong in the cities. If we had one or two at the fire stations and the fire stations could handle it, it would be better for the city and the city could use the funds. I think the ambulance service should be handled by Bryan- College Station and not by a private individual. Are you satisfied with the en- forcement of existing ordinances? Do you have any plans for new de- velopmental controls? No, I'm not satisfied. I have read the city ordinances of College Sta- tion a number of times. When it comes to the city's responsibility in the city ordinances, they don't take care of it. They can go out and make each individual do what they say, but as far as water lines or sewer lines, some people living in the city just recently got sewage running where they could use it. However, the city can go three or four miles out to newer areas and put in sewage and street lights. I think that College Station as a whole should work more with the university and A &M Consolidated. Anytime you're considering some- thing in College Station it involves all three. One should always know what the 'other is doing and they should always work together. If they are trying to get new bike routes or new sidewalks they should be work- ing together. There should be a committee with two people from the city, two from the school board and two from A &M to get together and knock heads and see what they can come up with. council for years. After I started working on the Mayor's Committee they put me on a government pro- gram for low income areas. Then I talked to a city councilman and asked him if he knew about the streets in certain areas and he said he just didn't know what they were like in College Station. After that I decided we really needed someone to speak for the people and speak for College Station as a whole. If you're on the city council you're supposed to go out and learn something about the streets and the community. If you don't appoint a committee to do it, do it yourself. There are a lot of duties that they don't perform that should be performed. I think Col- lege Station would be better off as a whole if we all work together and not just work in certain areas. Would you like to see College Sta- tion change to a ward system of elec- tion, as proposed in the referendum on the April 3 ballot? guarantee that it will fail at the ballot box. I urge that this one not be passed and that the council, by reso- lution, put a more moderate version up for early election. How do you think the ambulance service should be handled in Bryan- College Station? I think the present arrangement is about as good as we can hope for at this point. When the county reaches the sizes where it is warranted, I feel it should be public operated and ex- panded to improve the sophisticated treatment in the vehicles them- selves. We have to improve upon the system as we can. Are you satisfied with the en- forcement of existing ordinances? Do you have any plans for new de- velopmental controls? Yes, (I'm satisfied) in terms of fair- ness. No, in respect to thoroughness and detailed attention to building construction activities. Some of this can be, and I hope, will be corrected. I feel we need a provision in our zoning ordinance which would re- quire a more detailed review of the standards of apartment complexes and commercial development. We need something more than the as- surance that these facilities will be safe and that there will be adequate parking. I'm afraid that we are kind of shortsighted in providing some of the amenities which would give these developments a lasting value. There is also a need for this review to assure that these kinds of develop- ments will harmonize With our exist- ing pattern of residential develop ment. Also, with respect to a con- tinuing improvement, I look forward to a sign control ordinance. I don't think I should comment on that at this time. How do you think the ambulance service should be handled in Bryan- College Station? myself and I know a lot of other people do. If you have anything else to do at home or any type of meeting to go to, by the time you get out it's almost closing time and everybody is out trying to drink all they can within two or three hours. And in that time a person will get high. A lot of people say that if you let it go until 2 a. m. the more drinking you are going to have, but I don't think so. I think 2 a.m. would probably be sufficient and would also keep the town alive. Are you in favor of the construc- tion of Millican Dam after the lig- nite coal is mined in the area? Yes, in away. I think we need it. A lot of areas don't have much water and we need it for the water supply. We "definitely need the coal. Should College Station purchase their utilities from a source other than Bryan? I don't think so. It all depends on who is giving the better benefits. If the prices are better with someone else and they can furnish us, I think we should buy from them. I think we should save the money and I don't think Bryan would feel hard about us buying it from someone else. Why are you running? I would like to see a lot of change.

We have to improve upon the system as we can. Are you satisfied with the en- forcement of existing ordinances? Do you have any plans for new de- velopmental controls? Yes, (I'm satisfied) in terms of fair- ness. No, in respect to thoroughness and detailed attention to building construction activities. Some of this can be, and I hope, will be corrected. I feel we need a provision in our zoning ordinance which would re- quire a more detailed review of the standards of apartment complexes and commercial development. We need something more than the as- surance that these facilities will be safe and that there will be adequate parking. I'm afraid that we are kind of shortsighted in providing some of the amenities which would give these developments a lasting value. There is also a need for this review to assure that these kinds of develop- ments will harmonize With our exist- ing pattern of residential develop ment. Also, with respect to a con- tinuing improvement, I look forward to a sign control ordinance. I don't think I should comment on that at this time. How do you think the ambulance service should be handled in Bryan- College Station? myself and I know a lot of other people do. If you have anything else to do at home or any type of meeting to go to, by the time you get out it's almost closing time and everybody is out trying to drink all they can within two or three hours. And in that time a person will get high. A lot of people say that if you let it go until 2 a. m. the more drinking you are going to have, but I don't think so. I think 2 a.m. would probably be sufficient and would also keep the town alive. Are you in favor of the construc- tion of Millican Dam after the lig- nite coal is mined in the area? Yes, in away. I think we need it. A lot of areas don't have much water and we need it for the water supply. We "definitely need the coal. Should College Station purchase their utilities from a source other than Bryan? I don't think so. It all depends on who is giving the better benefits. If the prices are better with someone else and they can furnish us, I think we should buy from them. I think we should save the money and I don't think Bryan would feel hard about us buying it from someone else. Why are you running? I would like to see a lot of change.

Councilman eight years, former city attorney. Do you have any specific pro- grams planned as a council member? The city council is presently con- sidering a program for the acquisi- tion of park lands. I would specifi- cally like to see a large municipal park within the city. The city also needs to develop a community center. A community center that can handle all types of people and different kinds of ac- tivities, not a center just for the per- forming arts. One that will be utilized as much as possible during the day and night. We especially need a center for our older citizens. Too little is done in our society for older people. They appear to be a forgotten element in our society. Are you in favor of extending liquor hours to 2 a. m. on weekends? At the present time I am not be-, cause of the difficulties presented to me by the police department in Col- lege Station. Extending the hours would increase the amount of their work tremendously. It is a question of whether or not it is a benefit to the entire populace to go to this added expense to allow a limited segment of our population to participate in this activity. I think this is a demand by younger and not older persons. I've no moral or reli- gious qualms about it, but I don't think it is proper at this particular time. basis to see if there are additional problems because of extending liquor hours. But it is hard to go back to a previous situation, once the in- itial step has been made to extend the hours. Also, there would be no way to refund the tavern owners for the extra fees they would have to pay to stay open longer, if we decided to revert to the earlier closing hours. The situation needs to be studied. Are you in favor of the construc- tion of Millican Dam after the lig- nite coal is mined in the area? At the present time, no. I was once in favor of the Millican Dam but since that time things have come up that have changed my mind. I previously thought that Bryan - College Station nee >ded a supply of surface water for their municipal needs but experts have convinced me that the lake would not be able to supply the water when it will be needed in approximately 40 years. Why are you running? I'm running on my experience. I've got qualifications that the city needs. I've been a city councilman for six years and I was city attorney for two years. I have accomplished things in the past and I wish to accomplish things in the future for College Station. Would you like to see College Sta- tion change to a ward system of elec- tion, as proposed in the referendum on the April 3 ballot? No, I favor the at -large system. Whenever a city has changed to a ward system, it has been done to give advantage to a minority group. The minorities in College Station are so scattered that there is no guarantee that a ward system could give any group an advantage. How do you think the ambulance service should be handled in Bryan - College Station? I think eventually the service will have to be taken over by the cities. The trend in growing cities throughout the U.S. seems to be for a municipal ambulance service. College Station is operating under the present ambulance service be- cause it is so much cheaper and the city will continue to do so as long as it remains efficient. If it becomes inefficient, we will have to change and I think that change will be to municipal ambu- lance service. Are you satisfied with the en- forcement of existing ordinances? Do you have any plans for new de- velopmental controls? We need better enforcement of our two most important ordinances, zoning and sub - division regulations, for the protection of single family re- sidences and to provide for the or- derly growth of the city. The city also needs to revise and strengthen its building codes. Specifications for streets need to be raised to insure a better quality of street construction. It may be possible to extend the hours for a two or three month trial Bob B ell I favor electing at -large because we don't have any one area of a large minority population.

Should College Station purchase its utilities from another source be- sides Bryan? If all things are equal. If we get identical rates and contracts from Gulf States Utilities and Bryan, I would support Bryan. Why are you running? College Station is a youthful com- munity filled with vigor. Rapid growth is taking place. We need a community that can support and work hand -in -hand with A &M. The leadership for this community must have the ability to work with the community and the university. He must not be confined to one area or the other. I am associated with the academic and business communities in Col- lege Station and I feel that I am best qualified for the job. Also, I am one who feels that the power of eminent domain that the state and its subdivisions have, should be exercised with extreme caution. I do not favor the indis- criminate taking of private property for public purposes unless it is abso- lutely necessary. I also wonder if we can afford to lose the Navasota bottomland, which is unique to Texas and the U.S. Should College Station purchase its utilities from a source other than Bryan? I feel that College Station should purchase its utilities from a source that can guarantee adequate supply at the lowest possible cost. If the city of Bryan can do this, I prefer buying from Bryan. But, if Bryan cannot become com- petitive with its rages, I think Col- lege Station will be forced to go to an alternate source. Bryan is not com- petitive at the moment. Adequate utilitiefi at a reasonable cost is probably the most important issue in this area at the present time.

I would not run for a position if I did not think that I was qualified. I can name no other specific reasons. What do you consider to be the highest priorities of the board? Space. The board needs room for expansion. The school system needs room for growth. Are you in favor of the April 3rd bond issue? Do you have any objec- tions to it? Yes, I am in favor of the bond is- sue. I have no objections to it. Would you support another bond issue if this one fails. Yes. Should the curriculum be ex- panded on both the elementary and secondary levels? What courses should be included? Actually, curriculum needs should be left up to those that are knowledg- able about this area. I do not con- CRAFT WORKSHOPS REGISTER NOW!

Everyone knows that there is a need in the area for vocational training and educa- tion. The schools are not equipped at the present time to properly train students vocationally. They need to expand this program. In what cases should corporal punishment be used? I can site no specific cases. Is there a drug problem in this district? If so, what corrective mea- sures should be taken? If I say there is a drug problem, that that may be taken that I have first -hand knowledge of some situa- tions. But, if I say that there is no problem, then I am showing my ig- norance. The school does not cause drug problems. I feel that corrective measures should be taken in the home. It is not the responsibility of the schools to handle this. Have you been satisfied with the performance of the current school board? If not, why? I have no objections to what the board has done. Though I might not agree with all their actions in every case, I am sure that they would not agree with everything that I would do as a board member. Elizabeth Naugle Elizabeth Naugle, 37, 1113 Wes- tover, former A &M Consolidated elementary school teacher. Member of PTA program de- velopment. Why do you think you're qualified to hold a position on the school board? I have been a elementary teacher here and in California. Also, I am well prepared for the job, having at- tended the board meetings for the past four years. In addition, I am a member of a visiting team of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools accreditation study. What do you consider to be the highest priorities of the board? The firstpriority is to expand phys- ical facilities. In addition, my priorities include active recruitment of the best qualified teachers, com- petitive opportunities for all and con- tinuing involvement of faculty and community in the policy making role. Are you in favor of the April 3rd bond election? What objections, if any, do you have to it? My one vote does not count any- more than anyone else's vote. I am not going to tell anyone else how to vote. I do suggest that they take time to visit the schools before they vote. Would you support another elec- tion if this one fails? If it fails, my recommendation is to break it into propositions. We have to have some kind of bond program; I think everyone in town realizes this. Should the curriculum be ex- panded on both the elementary and secondary levels? What courses should be included? There are plenty of things you could name. To narrow it down, if one must, the language and art pro- grams need to be expanded. Basic reading and writing of English must be stressed to a greater extent. It is ridiculous for a high school student to be lacking in these skills. Our foreign language programs need to be strengthened also. In what cases should corporal punishment be used? The positive angle should be em- phasized. I told the faculty that they have overused and misused corporal punishment. I could never write a policy that completely abolished it, because they have too much respon- sibility. The discipline needs to be in accordance with the home. Is there a drug problem in the district? If so, what corrective mea- sures should be taken? I am not as well versed in the drug problem as are others, because my children are young yet. Counciling is probably the best thing the schools can have to offer. Have you been satisfied with the performance of the current school board? I admire very much the total effort the present council has put into the job. And I think we have had some extremely effective and responsive individuals on the board. Hoy Richards Hoy Richards, 44, 1703 Glade, transportation economist for Texas Transportation Institute.1 Former school board member, Nom' 1971. Why do you think you're qualified to hold a position on the school board? tive interest in the administration of the school system from having chil- dren in it. Also as a member of the '` Board of Equalization I have the needed knowledge of the revenue needs of the system and the tax- payers ability to pay. I also have ex- perience in areas of civic service. What do you consider to be the highest priorities of the board? Right now fiscal responsibility. We are in need of fiscal assistance to Hoy Richards improve our vocational facilities, which are primarily for the students who are not going to college. We also need to improve some of our existing facilities. Are you in favor of the April 3rd bond issue? What objections, if any, do you have to it? I have taken a position of not sup- porting the bond issue. The reason is that the voters want the priorities to be established. We do need fiscal assistance, but I really feel like some of the facilities included on the bond issue are not really what we need right now. Would you support another elec- tion if this one fails? Yes, in fact that is why I got into the race. I feel like there are many people who see the need for certain facilities, but place less importance on some others that are in this pro- gram. Should the curriculum be ex- panded on both the elementary and secondary levels? What courses should be included? I feel we need more vocational courses right now. Our system is geared to the college bound student, but many of our students are not going to attend college and I feel we should have more programs for these. kids. In what cases should corporal punishment be used? My total reaction to corporal punishment is that while the child or young adult is on the campus, disci- pline is the right and responsibility of the school. We entrust our children to the school and until we feel they have gone beyond what is reasonable it is part of their job to keep things in order. Is there a drug problem in the district? If so, what corrective mea- sures should be taken? Any use of drugs or alcohol by stu- dents is a problem. I like to believe the problem is not as widespread here as in some other areas. The only way to really handle the problem is through education. Have you been satisfied with the performance of the current school board? I think they have done very well. If there is anything lacking at all, it is the fact that they have not concen- trated on running the schools in a more businesslike manner. We must be sure we have the funds to do the things that provide a good education for all students. George Boyett George Boyett, 41, 702 Lee, self - employed in rental property in- vestments. Member of Planning and Zoning Commission, school district's Board of Equalization. Why do you think you're qualified z , to hold a position on the school e board? I am a registered voter and that is the only requirement necessary to run for a positon. I have three chil- dren in the local schools in kinder- garten to the sixth grade. I have a vested interest in their education ft4.. and well -being as well as for the chil- dren of others. With a building con- r struation and business background, I feel that I can serve the board in an effective manner. What do you consider to be the highest priorities of the board? The bond issues should be the top priority. Administering the sale of the bonds as well as getting the best professionals to handle the job should also be considered as priorities. Are you in favor of the April 3rd bond issue? What objections do you have, if any? No, I'm not. The bond issue as it stands is a single issue and does not offer an opportunity for selecting which issue one favors most. All people do not have the same opin- ion. The fact that the recent bond issue failed proves to me that people wanted another issue, a better choice. The situation as it stands does not offer the voter a choice. That is the voter's right — making a choice. Would you support another bond election if this one fails? Yes. Another one should be pro- posed as soon as possible. It should be more palatable to the public if this one fails. I am in favor of the most judicious application of the issue. The bonds should be sold so as not to create an undue tax burden. They should try to get their dollars worth for the dollars spent. Should the curriculum be ex- panded on both the elementary and secondary levels? What courses should be included? The present curriculum has been expanded to the point that classroom attendance is down. Though some classrooms appear over crowded, they are actually examples of impro- per utilization of space. In what cases should corporal punishment be used? Corporal punishment should be used only if it adequately meets the offense. Punishment should be con- structive. It should offer an option between the punishment and some other constructive means. There should be more intense counseling when a more intense punishment is used. Is there a drug problem in the district? If so, what corrective mea- sures should be taken? I am not advised in this. But the local police are genuinely concerned about the drug problem, therefore, so am 1. Kentuck y Fried Chicken 110 Dominik Dr., College Station 3320 Texas Avenue, Bryan U.S.D.A.

Why do you think you're qualified to hold a position on the school board? I think that this school board is going to have to answer some of the most difficult questions in the history of this district, in particular in the area of finance. By that I mean financing programs and financing facilities. I think my background ex- perience lends itself well to this type of decision making. I've been work- ing in administration and planning ever since I graduated from college, about eight years total. What do you consider to be the highest priorities of the board? I think at this point the highest priority of the board has to be the development and maintenance of existing fiscal plants. It must be adequate in terms of overcrowding. Are you in favor of the April 3rd bond issue? What objections, if any, do you have to it? Yes. It looks like a good package to me and I think there are so many things in there that we need and we Fred Bouse Fred Bouse, 41, 2911 Texas Ave., agricultural engineer. Why do you think you are qual- ified to hold a position on the school board? I have been interested in the schools for a number of years, I have three children currently in the school system. I have worked ac- tively with various community ac- tivities the last several years. I have gotten to know a lot of people; I think I am in a position maybe to express their views on the board and to rep- resent a fairly large segment of the community. I am an agricultural engineer, (See Bouse, page 10) b , { a r.., . r, William Wasson should have had some time ago that we can't afford to wait any longer. One possible objection. It might have been better to split it into pro- positions but as far as objections to the Bond issue, I have none. Would you support another bond election if this one fails? Yes, as soon as adequate planning could be done and voter response could be measured to determine why this one failed. See Wasson, page William Fitch William Fitch, 54, 1712 Glade, builder and investor. Former councilman, 1952 -56. Why do you think you're qualified to hold a position on the school board? I'm 54 and I've devoted the last 30 years of my life to building College Station in home building, apart- ment, and commercial business and developing subdivisions to provide places for the people who come to Texas A &M University to live — the staff, faculty, and students. With the experience I have had in this city, I think I know what we can afford, and what the people want. What do you consider to be the highest priorities of he board? The highest priority of the board is to see to it that we have a good, basic, fundamental elementary education system. It has nothing to do with buildings, it's what happens inside the classroom. We want a good school system, we want the best, but I don't think that it necessarily fol- lows that if you have the best it has to be the most expensive. Are you in favor of the April 3rd bond issue? What objections, if any, do you have to it? Helen Wilborn I have to be in favor of he bond issue because time is running out and I would like to see the people approve this bond issue. I'm afraid they won't. I think all the cost proposals are overstated by 30 per cent at least. They have allocated twice as much money as they need to accomplish what needs to be done. We have to have these additional facilities. And rather than put it off for another two months and not being able to finish what we need to have finished by next fall I'd rather go ahead and pay this one. Would you support another bond election if this one fails? Yes, only we'd cut it to about $4.5 million, and we would clearly state the needed items so the people can pick what they want to vote for. The school board has made a dili- gent effort to puff out this informa- tion, but they cast the information in such language that most people don't know what the board said. Should the curriculum be ex- panded on both the elementary and secondary levels? What courses should be included? I think if anything, we may have an overexpanded curriculum right now. I see a drift beginning toward more and more cluttering up of our elementary educational system with what's called enrichment programs. But I think they're confusing pro- school jurisdiction over the drugs. Have you been satisfied with the performance of the present school board ?, 4 I think the school board is doing a good job. They have been examining everything very closely. I'm satisfied with their decisions. In cases where they didn't know themselves they've asked the community. They've done as good a job as they can do. William Fitch grams at the expense of seeing that children by the end of the third grade can read and write well and have a basic background in elemen- tary mathematics. In what cases should corporal punishment be used? I don't think that you ever need to strike a child. I think that the proper attitude and the demand of respect on the part of teachers starting in the very first grade, and if you let them get to the fifth grade running wild I think you create a bunch of little hoodlums. Is there a drug problem in the district? If so, what corrective mea- sures should be taken?

What do you consider to be the highest priorities of the board? I think probably to assure that we have an atmosphere in our schools that is conducive to learning to pro- vide adequate facilities for the teachers to work with. Also, to insure that we have policies and goals that the people in our community would like for us to have. Are you in favor of the April 3rd bond issue? What objections, if any, do you have to it? Yes, I am supporting it. The bond issue will go a long way to satisfy a lot of needs that our schools have, espe- cially with overcrowding in the classrooms. Some of the other things in the bond issue that I think are extremely important are the vocational facilities. Would you support another bond election if this one fails? I think we have to keep coming back until we get some of these needs satisfied and I really don't think we have any choice. I don't know for sure what I would be in favor of cutting out if we felt like we had to reduce it at this time. So many of the things are important, and we've fallen behind in a number of areas that this bond issue will take care of. Should the curriculum be ex- panded on both the elementary and secondary levels? What courses should be included? I think this is something that would have to have a lot of study and I have not been deeply involved with curriculum. I have not looked closely at some of the enrichment programs. I think they would have to be evaluated in a lot of detail. The first area that comes to mind is the vocational area. I think that we could use a stronger industrial arts type program in the high school and the vocational area. I know that we need to strengthen the vocational ag- ricultural area some, we need better facilities there and possibly some additional help in the teaching area. In what cases should corporal punishment be used? I think this has to be left pretty much to the discretion of the school administration and the principal of the school at each campus. I cer- tainly do not favor any rash action by teachers or by administrators. I think they should use all other possibilities first. But I think certainly discipline must be maintained, and if they feel this is the method that will be bene- ficial to the student then definitely this should be the policy and I would support it. Is there a drug problem in the district? If so, what corrective mea- sures should be taken? I really don't have any first hand knowledge of the drug situation in the schools. I hear a lot of things but as far as I'm concerned they are strictly hearsay. I'm sure that we Wilborn (Continued from page 9) My concept of the school board is that it should be an agent of the community and take it on them- selves to investigate the problems and relay it back to the community and find out what they feel about it. Often times the policy is made with- out soliciting any input. Are you in favor of the April 3rd bond issue? What objections, if any, do you have to it? Yes, I'm supporting the Bond is- sue. I wasn't aware of the over- crowded conditions in the high school because I had graduated from the old high school.

It's all to handle the facilities and the facilities are bad. It may not have been projected far enough into the future but the ad- vantages outweigh the disadvan- tages. Would you support another Bond election if this one fails? I would have to. One is definitely needed. I would be willing to work and make another one more perfect. Should the curriculum be ex- panded on both the elementary and secondary levels? What courses should be included? In the high school, I am for expan- sion. What is definitely needed now is allocated for in the bond issue — the vocational program. In the elementary schools, they have just started a career guidance program and I don't think elementary school is too early to start it. The enrich- ment programs open up more doors for students. Some of the things I'm talking about can be incorporated into existing programs where you don't have to have additional teachers. It's necessary to make maximum use of what is there. In what cases should corporal punishment be used? I am against corporal punishment. I'm for discipline but I think whenever you're talking about a dis- cipline problem, you're talking about a behavior problem. The prob- lems should be handled with be- havorial methods. I'm not for any corporal punishment in the high school. Often we get caught up with handling the symptom rather than have professional people that are looking at this all the time. Have you been satisfied with the performance of the current school board? I have thought that the present school board should probably have put some emphasis on some areas. I think the maintenance of our facilities should have been much bet- ter through the years. I would also like to see the board take a stronger interest in the area of community relations. I think many times either the community does not understand the problems that the board has or the board fails to com- municate their problems. I would like to see more cooperation be- tween the schools and city in many areas, especially in the recreational programs. the problem. I would try and sit down and deal with the student and his behavioral problems. Is there a drug problem in the district? If so, what corrective mea- sures should be taken? There is definitely a drug problem in this area. I have not dealt with anyone in the elementary school level but I know for a fact that even in elementary school there is ex- perimentation with drugs. Often the children get into their parents' medicine cabinet. There are approximately 200 he- roin addicts in Bryan - College Sta- tion. From the high schools we get mostly abusers of pills and an uana. Often it is the result of fami�y problems. There was a legislative mandate handed down which said that drug abuse education and crime preven- tion programs would have to be taught in the schools. Teachers are trying to set up workshops and semi- nars in the schools. This is something they can easily do without increasing anybody's taxes because there are so many social agencies that are avail- able. Have you been satisfied with the performance of the school board? I don't want to say that I'm not satisfied because I know that the people on the board are doing as much as they can. But the fact is each person only carries one vote and often decisions are made too quickly. A little more information could be acquired before making a decision. Other than that I am satisfied with it. That Place a PROGRESSIVE PRECISION HAIRCUTTING 707 TEXAS 846m6933 - R.

A reservoir on the Navasota was first mentioned in 1954, and the Millican site was chosen from among six possible sites. The Brazos River Authority and the U.S. Corps of Engineers are coor- dinating the studies of the site. Congress has appropriated more than $2 million during the past five years for pre - construction plans and studies on the proj- ect. The Brazos River Authority maintains that the reservoir is needed for water sup- ply, recreation and to relieve downstream flood problems. Area environmentalists have opposed the project. They say the reservoir is un- necessary and would destroy a unique hab- itat, the heavily- wooded Navasota River Bottom. The Corps of Engineers and the Brazos River Authority recently announced that the Millican site may be reconsidered be- cause of a large amount of lignite coal in the basin of the proposed reservoir and the surrounding area. Six candidates are opposed to the dam, three are in favor of it and two had no opinion. Bravenee (Continued from page 3) that we are wedded to Bryan. We will not stick with them under all conditions. Why are you running? I think I have the responsibility as a citi- zen ... to take an interest in municipal affairs. In a larger sense I'm running be- cause I have a stake in seeing that this community has an orderly growth. Would you like to see College Station change to a ward system of elections, as proposed in the referendum on April 3? I'm against the change and in favor of the at -large system. My viewpoint toward stu- dents doesn't influence me one way or another. Some people have said they favor the ward system because they are worried about students taking over city govern- ment. I'm not worried about students tak- ing over city government. I think that stu- dents in this community are generally satis- fied with the way city government is run. They don't have any stake in trying to run something like city government and I don't think they would particularly want to. I'm basically in favor of retaining the present system because it's more advantageous to citizens in general. If you have a complaint you can talk to seven people instead of just somebody from the ward, because theoret- ically all seven people represent you. How do you think the ambulance service should be run in Bryan- College Station? I feel that the citizens of College Station deserve a first -class ambulance service. I suspect that this city government will move bit by bit toward a first -class ambulance service, and if this means leaving Sherrill (the present service) I suppose it means leaving Sherrill. If Sherrill can provide the ,/College Station buys its electric and water supply from the city of Bryan. Bryan recently requested a 24 per cent increase in electric rates and a 19 per cent increase in water rates. There has been talk among councilmen of finding another source for utilities. Gulf States Utilities, a private firm, has offered the city a price for electricity that is 40 per cent less than what is being paid to Bryan. All council candidates advocated going with the source that gives the best price to the city.. /City officials are currently chosen at- large, that is, all voters cast ballots for every position on the council. A referendum on the ballot asks if voters would prefer a ward system. In this system the city would be divided into six districts or wards, and everyone in a ward would vote for one councilman from that district. Under the ward system, the mayor would be elected at- large. Two candidates are for the ward system, six for the at -large system and two for a combination ward -at -large system. One candidate expressed no opinion. /College Station contracts with Sherrill's Ambulance Service of Bryan for ambulance services to the city. The city owns a modular ambulance which it loans to Sher- rill. There has been criticism in the past by residents and councilmen concerning Sherrill's response times to calls, its han- dling of victims and its record keeping prac- tices. type of ambulance service we need I sup- pose we'll stay with Sherrill. I don't know how good the service is right now. I im- agine we'll investigate that. In terms of a cooperative venture with other gov- ernmental units, I'm sure we'll be open to that. We'll do whatever we have to do to get a first -class ambulance service. Are you satisfied with the enforcement of existing ordinances? Do you have any plans for new developmental controls? I think we need to have an ongoing re- view ofour ordinances. I imagine we'll con- tinue to review our building standards and standards relating to construction of. streets. The recently enacted parks ordi- nance is proving somewhat complicated to administer and we might have to amend it to make it a little simpler to administer. You might see a new sign ordinance and a new ordinance dealing with noise, particu- larly dealing with minibikes and motorcycles, as well as cars. How do you view the role of mayor? Other than the ceremonial aspects, I think the mayor has the responsibility of conducting the council meetings and trying to get the city council to have some goals. I think one of the first things the city council will do is to try to formulate some short-range goals and some long -range go- als. The short-range goals are those which we can probably accomplish within one year, such as enactment of the new sign ordinance and a stopgap noise ordinance. The long range goals you might classify as working toward an adequate park system, a civic center and a system of lanes and paths for bicycles and pedestrians. You have to recognize that there are a lot of strong indi- viduals on 'the city count-it. I think you won't have a dominant mayor on this city council. I think you'll have more of a team effort. Hazen (Continued from page 3) job. I would like to follow up on what I have been doing on the bikeways and walkways. I'm concerned about all the apartment complexes and the need for more protec- tion from the fire and police. We need a larger city staff to handle the road maintenance. I suspect they need a larger staff, but they're just overwhelmed with the everyday problems caused by the rapid growth. I feel the ordinary citizen is not being heard. When the city spends its time worrying about where the new de- velopments are going to go and what we're going to do with the waste material, water run -off and safety, the ordinary citizen that needs a new street light or needs his street swept is just sort of neglected. I think I can represent a lot of people that had not felt that they had anyone in city hall. Would you like to see College Station change to a ward system of elections, as proposed in the referendum on April 3? No, I would not. I think that this town is still small enough so that the councilmen should be able to represent the whole community. If the community grows and then stabilizes, a ward system may be needed. But I think that now, during this period of rapid growth, by the time they set up a definite ward it could change too rapidly. For instance, apartment com- plexes being built could change the whole population. How do you think the ambulance service Wilkes (Continued from page 3) classroom with average students and the normal classroom teacher. In the special education classes, students and teachers are in many cases on a one -to-one basis. They are using classrooms that are de- signed for 25 or 30 students. Another real problem in our educational system is the fact that SAT scores are going down. To me this is very basic; having the ability to communicate and having skills in reading, writing and math. We should have very strong improvement in these areas, regardless of whether the student is going on into college or whether he is going on into a vocation. In what cases should corporal punish- ment be used? Bray (Continued from page 3) evaluate what the superintendent's people 'come up with. In what cases should corporal punish- ment be used? I think corporal punishment has a place. Discipline is a need that exists in all the schools. I don't think corporal punishment should be administered in a way that humiliates or ridicules. should be run in Bryan- College Station? I'm not happy with the ambulance ser- vice the way it is. I feel very strongly that we should have a good ambulance service and that we've got the money to pay for it somewhere. It does cost money and it won't make a profit. Mr. Sherrill (the owner of the pre- sent service) is in it to make a profit. That's his business. I feel that just like the fire department sits there waiting for some- body to need it, you should have the same thing with an ambulance service. I'm not ruling out that it should be paid for by the county. I think in this instance we all pay county taxes and this might very well be a function of the county. It has to serve the whole county and I think perhaps this might be a better way to go. Are you satisfied with the enforcement of existing ordinances? Do you have any plans for new developmental controls? I'm not satisfied with the existing ordi- nances. I think many of them are outdated. I would like to see them strengthened, and I would like to see stricter developmental controls. I'm discovering every day new ordinances we should have but don't. As far as narrowing it down to specifics, I certainly would like to see "no parking" ordinance for bike lanes. We still have not been able to get the bike lanes signed. The city says it doesn't have money to buy the signs. I think they should find the money. I think it's just as important as having another policeman to have safe bike lanes. We go by the Southwest Building Code now. I do not think it is strict enough con- sidering the number of complexes we have. I think corporal punishment should be used as a last resort. I think we do have a good policy on this and the teachers are very conscientious in following these policies. This form of discipline is not abused, as far as I know. Is there a drug problem in the district? If so, what corrective measures should be taken? I think if you have only one kid there is a drug problem. I haven't had enough re- ports to say whether there is a real drug problem. Have you been satisfied with the per- formance of the school board? I think every one of them is working and has had a sincere attitude. I am not in agreement with them in all cases. In fact, I've been in a minority on many of these issues, including the bond issue and the past budget. Is there a drug problem in the district? If so, what corrective measures should be taken? I hear that there is the beginning of a drug problem. I don't know to what extent it really exists. We really can't make a judgement without adequate data. Have you been satisfied with the per- formance of the school board? I've been impressed with what they've done. They've done a tremendous job over the last two or three years, beginning to get these policies written down, and beginning to get an evaluation process.
