Gen. Ormand Simpson, assis-
vice-president for student ser-
said yesterday.
he contractor had the authority
remove the building im-
iately, Simpson said. “But it
ed out that he stored some mate-
in the room for the sprinkler
jm included in the landscaping
iect.
Ye asked the contractor to put a
olo on destroying it to see if some
Ujfccould he found for the building,”
H viH airl
ity, roofing and windows all required
repair.
University officials did not request
an estimate on renovation costs for
the building. Simpson speculated
that repairs would require several
thousand dollars.
A&M built the structure about
1928, Simpson said, as a student-run
newsstand. Simpson said when he
came to A&M as a student in 1932 the
stand had already been in operation
for some years.
The University awarded the news
stand concession to two students
each year. Those students received
any revenue from the stand for per
sonal use.
“I recall that it was then a very
lucrative job,” Simpson said. “Those
guys lucky enough to get the stand
could usually make enough to pay
their way through school.”
The newsstand was an important
source of information on campus at
that time. Sbisa was the only dining
hall at A&M and students on their
way to meals generally stopped to
buy newspapers and magazines from
the newsstand.
“The stand lost its significance
when Duncan Hall and later the
Commons were opened,” Simpson
said. The beginning of newspaper
delivery to students rooms likewise
hurt the stand, he said.
The stand was used for storage for
some years and recently as a polling
place for student elections.
Students, faculty and staff are
being invited to work as police at the
discretion of the University chief of
police.
The initial group of 30 members
will be called the Auxiliary Force of
Texas A&M. They will be chosen by
a Board of Control composed of four
students, three University staff
members and two University police
officers.
To qualify, the applicant must not
be on scholastic or conduct proba
tion, must have a current class “D”
FCC operator’s license and be pres
ently enrolled or employed at the
University.
The group is an outgrowth of stu
dents who used Citizen Band radios
to guard the campus during the siege
of paint splattering before the Baylor
football game in the fall.
A group of six students ap
proached Ron Blatchley, proposing
that a protection organization be
structured around communication
on CB radios. Blatchley said that
several others have approached him
over the past two months with simi
lar requests.
The stated purpose of the organi
zation is to assist the police with
crowd and traffic control, providing
directions with use of CB radios, re
porting vandalism, theft and other
criminal activity and developing a
liaison between students and the
campus police.
The Auxiliary Force has filed for
recognition with the director of stu
dent activities. They have written a
constitution but have not chosen a
sponsor, which is necessary to estab
lish recognition. Blatchley is han
dling the groundwork.
