FROM THE CITY DESK
i
Voters To Decide
About New School
By HARRI BAKER
Battalion City Editor
There’s not much question .about College Station need-
inging more school facilities soon. The question is what kind
of a-new school would be best for the community.
The statistics presented by Superintendent Les Rich
ardson tell their own story. In 1962, Consolidated will have
an enrollment of over 1400. The school is already over crowd
ed with an enrollment of 860.
The accuracy of this prediction of College Station’s
school population increase is indicated by the figures for
state and national increase. In all three cases, the charted
curve is almost exactly the same.
Plans Presented
After many months of hard work the school board has presented
three plans to alleviate the situation.
The simplest plan is rearrangement of the present facilities to
give more room to the elementary grades, which are now and always
will be the largest. This plan would ease the situation for the present,
but sooner or later a new school would have to be built.
Another plan is to build three new elementary schools, one in
each section of the city, and turn the present buildings over to the
high school.
The advocates of this plan say it would be safer (young children
would not have to cross Highway 6 to get to school) and more con
venient (an elementary school would be close to every child).
The objection to the plan is that it would cost more to spread
the construction work out over three different sites and to maintain
three separate schools.
Plan for New High School
The other plan, the one favored
by the school board, calls for build
ing a high school plant on the strip
of land between the present school
and Highway 6, and building an
elementary school in College Hills.
A new high school could contain
all the facilities that the present
high school now lacks: an auditor
ium, adequate laboratories, music
rooms, and shops. It would be
close enough to the present school,
which would be used for the lower
grades, to make maintainence easy.
The elementally school in Col
lege Hills would take care of the
Building Plans
To Receive No
Definite Action
The A&M Consolidated
School Board will not take
any definite action on the
new school building program
for several weeks, said E. E.
Brown, president of the school
board.
“We’re not yet completely sure
of the program that will be best
according to the wishes of the pub
lic,” Brown said.
Several different plans for the
building program were presented
at a meeting of the Mothers and
Dads Club Monday night.
The two main plans were to
build an elementary school in Col
lege Hills and a high school ad
jacent to the present high school,
or to. build three elementary
schools, one in each of the city’s
main sections.
“It will take a little time to pre
pare the program, no matter which
one we chose,” Brown said. “We
have to do some more work with
the architect, price land, and se
lect a site.”
An expected increase in the
school population will make more
school facilities necessary, accord
ing to Les Richardson, Consolidat
ed superintendent.
problem of crossing the highway.
This plan would take care of
the school’s needs for several
years to come.
The school board has not yet '
decided definitely on a plan. E. E.
Brown, president of the board,
said that there was still more
work to be done, and that the
board would have to agree on a
plan that the majority of the vot
ers. favor.
If the voters don’t approve of
the plan that the school board
chooses, the school board won’t
have the money to carry it out.
Bond Issue Needed
To get sufficient funds, school
taxes will have to be raised and a
bond issue will have to be passed.
The school board can raise taxes
simply by increasing the evalua
tion of property for that purpose.
They proposed a tax raise, amount
ing to a $22.50 increase for the
average taxpayer, but that would
only bring in an estimated $18,000
increase a year.
To get the rest of the $650,000
they say they will need, a bond is
sue will have to be approved.
Bonds can be issued after a bond
ordinance is passed by a majority
vote of the City Council and ap
proved by a majority of the tax-
paying voters of the school dis
trict.
The bond ordinance must spec
ify exactly how the money is to
be used, that is, for which of the
school plans. If the voters don’t
approve the first plan the school
board asks for, the school board
can try again with another bond
ordinance, specifying another plan.
This can keep up until the voters
are presented a plan that they ap
prove.
So it adds up to this: College
Station needs new facilities for its
school childrene, and the voters
will have the final say on the type
of new facilities to build.
Community Chest Still Short
Still dealing with money, but in
a different vein, College Station’s
showing in Community Chest drive
has been disappointing. As of to
day the Chest is still almost $4,000
short. The drive probably will
be continued actively through
Thanksgiving. Even if it isn’t, con
tributions will be accepted as long
as people want to give.
There are several businesses and
persons in the city that have given
nothing or too little. These people
live in the city and will be di
rectly affected the organiza
tion^ that benefit "from the Chest.
A list of these organizations
reads like an honor roll of ser
vice — Youth Committee, Boy
Scouts, Salvation Army, Recrea
tion Council, YMCA, Tuberculosis
Association, Cancer Society, and
others. The list speaks for itself.
Deer Hunters
(Continued from Page 3)
ably shot his buck from Britton,
but lost the race for the locker
plant.
He had been out only 15 minutes
when he snagged a 150-pound sev
en point buck. The deer was run
ning, and at 200 yards, when
Schlesselman bagged him with a
single shot.
“They get awful heavy when you
start to carry them out,” was the
only comment he made.
Probably the youngest hunter in
the area on opening day was Dee
Smith, son of Manning Smith, 115
E. Walton. This was his second
deer-hunting trip, and he got his
first buck.
The animal pushed, the scales to
a plump 150 pounds, and carried
six pointed horns. Young Smith
made the shot at 75 yards, and
didn’t even need to fire the second
time.
A total of 18 deer were brought
into the two main lockers in the
area on Sunday, aud seyeral moi’e
followed Monday morning.
Womens Club’s Food

lege Women’s Social Club will
meet at 1:15 p. m. Friday in the

Following the theme for the

eon.
