Construction Set To Begin Soon Work on new parking lots to relieve crowded conditions on the campus will begin as soon as contracts can be made, Howard Badgett, manager of the A&M physical plants, an nounced Monday, The new lots will first be constructed with gravel, but will be made permanent as soon as enough temporary lots are built to provide ample student parking, he said. Construction is due to begin sometime this week on a new day student lot north of the shacks (temporary class room buildings) on Sulphur Springs road. The lot is being built to make up for parking space that will be closed in the day student lot. * The space to be closed will be between the shacks and the Student Election Set Tomorrow Election will be tomorrow for student senators from six civilian student dormitories, one member of the election commission, and two representatives to the student pub lications board.

This is the site of the new A&M Press building, LFUI HlJLlllI Elections End For Civilian Town Hall opens its doors to night for the first performance of the year, and its first performance in the 9,000-seat G. Rollie White coliseum. The Sauter-Finegan band will be tonight’s attraction. The performance starts at 8 p.m., and the doors will open at 7 p.m. There will be no reserved seats, with people being seated on a first - come, first - served basis, said C. G. (Spike) White of the student activities department. For those persons who do not have season tickets, individual performance tickets will cost $2 and can be bought at the door. Students who bought the activity fee have a Town Hall season pass. Ed Sauter and Bill Finegan, former name band arrangers who started their own band, believe in using any method to get the right effect in their music. “The music of our new band can be summed up in two words— color and mood,” they said. “Eve rything we write will attempt to create a certain mood that is con sistent with the composition and a certain color that blends with the mood.” To prove that the sound’s the thing, their 25-member band in cludes a special percussion section in addition to the regular band drums. In this section are a xylophone, marimba, chimes, triangle, glock enspiel, tambourines, kettle drums a thunder di-um, street drums and toy snare drums. In what they call “regular" in struments are such unlikely band instruments as the flute, piccolo oboe, English horn, and recorder. During what was called the “golden age of jazz,” Sauter was doing arrangements for Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Artie Shaw, Woody Herman, and Ray McKinley. A trumpet player, Sauter has studied at the Juliard School of Music, and with Louis Gruenberg, Stefan Wolpe, and Bernard Wage- naar. Finegan was arranger for Tom my Dorsey from 1942 to 1952, cre ating some of the arrangements that are now classics of their type. He was also Glenn Miller’s arranger for several years. He has studied with Wolpe and at the Paris Conservatory of Music. Newman Elected By A&S Council PARTLY CLOUDY Light to increasing cloudiness tonight with early morning ground fog tomorrow.

Charles (Chuck) Newman was elected president of the student Arts and Sciences council last night, at the organization’s first meeting of the year. Other officers are Bill Willis, vice-president; Richard Gentry, secretary-treasurer; Bill Coppage, senior Intercouncil representative; and Jim Braeutigan, junior Inter council representative. The council recommended that the annual awards day program be discontinued, and that The Battal ion and/or the student magazines print a special honors day edition. which will be started Monday. “In its final form, the new lot will have space for 270 cars,” Bad gett said. “Eventually, it will have curbs, gutters and possibly black top.” Second New Lot The second lot that will be built will be between the east area dor mitories and the golf course. This will ultimately be the lot for all of the east area and will have space for 1,200 cars, Badgett said. The smaller lots will be closed and street parking banned. Construft- tion will begin as soon as the day student lot is completed, and it will also be a permanent lot, he said. Badgett expressed the hope that this lot will also be lighted. “All the construction of the east area lot can’t be done in one year. We will just try to have it gravel ed and marked with cedar posts, he said. Third New Lot A third lot will be built behind dormitory 17 in the west area, ad ding about 100 more parking spa ces. It will join the two lots al ready in that area and will provide space for the overflow of cars that have been parking in the PMA building lot, Badgett said. Other parking improvements will be the straightening of Hous ton street where it passes the G. Rollie White coliseum. A park ing lot may be built in this area to accommodate day students. Dur ing weekends, it will be used for parking space for athletic events, Badgett said. ‘No Ideal Locations* He said there could not possibly be an ‘“ideal location” for any of the new lots since there was little choice at all in where parking space could be provided. However, Badgett emphasized the new park ing lots would be permanent and (See PARKING, Page 2) Runoff elections were held last night in several civilian areas and all civilian floor and ramp representatives have been chosen except one.

Unknown Number Punished on Probation Roughing Aggie Visitors SMU Students For An undetermined number of Southern Methodist university stu dents have been put on probation as the result of fights between Aggies and SMU students on the SMU campus Sept. 26. According to the Associated Press, some SMU athletes are among those on probation. Pro bation at SMU does not bar a student from participation in school sports. At least two fights were report ed, involving separate groups of A&M students and what appeared to be one group of SMU students —about 20, according to witnesses. No action was taken against the A&M students involved. Mayne Longnecker, SMU dean of students, released the follow ing statement to The Dallas Morn ing News: “The incident involving a num ber of students of Texas A&M Col lege and of SMU on last Saturday night has been carefully investi gated by representatives of the of fice of the dean of students and the committee on discipline. ‘A letter of apology has been City Council Will Hire Fiscal Agent The College Station City Council, in a special meeting last night, approved the mo tion to hire a fiscal agent to assist in preparation of bonds for a proposed sewerage system. Homer A. Hunter, consulting en gineer of Dallas, discussed with the council the three proposed plans for the sewerage system. Plan I and II were not considered suitable because of the added cost of installing pump stations to han dle the flow of sewerage. Plan III is designed to serve all of the presently developed are as of the city and future develop ment along any of the watersheds south of the city. This system con sists of two outfall lines. One would begin east of Consolidated school and run east and southeast to a plant located outside the city. The second line follows the pres ent location from College Park southeast to the cemetery and then eastward to join the other at the plant site. Plan III involves no pumping but requires greater lengths of lines. Librarian Retires After 40 Years Miss Octavia F.
