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

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.

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

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

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.
