“We are planning 15 million dol
lars worth of expansion in addition
to dormitory expansion,” Chancel
lor Harrington said. “But one of
our most pressing problems at
present is the railroad grade cross-
103 MAIN NORTH GATE
AGGIE OWNED
ing on Farm Road 60, going from
the campus to the Veterinary Med
icine Department.”
Harrington said the crossing had
been called the “worst in the state”
by highway officials. He said
that the State Highway Commis
sion had set some funds aside to
improve it, but that action must be
taken by the City of College Sta
tion and Brazos County before
March 16.
“Due to its location, the cross
ing is a city and county problem,”
he said.

S. R. Wright, head of the Civil
Engineering Department, brought
out technical problems that would
be faced by the proposed survey
He said that one answer would be
a comprehensive origin-destination
survey of all vehicles on the streets.
“The overall plan should be de
veloped by a trained outsider and
then carried out by local officials,”
he said. “We must get what is
best for the most people because we
can’t do right for everyone.”
Commission Should Cooperate
Bryan City Manager Casey Fan
nin pointed out that a commission
would probably work if it were set
up like the present Brazos County
Health Unit, which is a cooperative
enterprise. Bryan Councilman J.
M. Daniel echoed Fannin's state
ment and added that the State
might possibly help the progi’am.
“We are a planning commission
without a plan, now,” said T. R.
Holliman, speaking of his College
Station planning committee. “We
shouldn’t worry about the cost of
improvements until later.”
Holliman also outlined a similar
program, planned and carried out
by the city of Corpus Christi.
County Judge A. S. Ware, who
has lived in Brazos County for 50
years, was “not enthused” about
outside planners being hired. He
pointed out that the. master plan
for highways set in 1939 had been
followed to completion and that
present plans for improvement in
cluded woik on the Welborn road,
Turkey Creek road and 29th St.
in Bryan.
“We have done some long-range
planning of our own,” Dr. Les
Richardson, Consolidated Schools
superintendent said. “We find that
our enrollment will double in the
next ten years.”

Leaves School
Writer James Provard,
whose story L’Affair Unique
in the Commentator prompted
an anonymous critic to de
nounce sex stories being pub
lished in student publications, has
left A&M for the remainder of the

Provard said he was leaving
school because he couldn’t get his
mind on studying. He plans to

extended visit either to California
or the New England states. He
will return to A&M June 1, to start

Provard plans to write more
fiction during his vacation.
Provard, after going to school
for 30 straight months, said, “Go
ing to college is like working. One
must have a break or else he’ll
go crazy.”

The ’57 Chevy can give lessons
on taking curves and holding the
road to just about any car going.
Few cars at any price are so
beautifully balanced and so
smooth, sure and solid in action.
A car has to have a special kind of
build and balance to keep curves
under control. And nobody outdoes
Chevrolet in that department! It
“corners” with all the solid assur
ance of an honest-to-goodness sports
car. Chevy doesn’t throw its weight
around on turns because it carries
its pounds in the right places.
And if the road should turn up
ward, Chevy can take care of that
nicely, too—with up to 245 h.p.*
Come on in and take a turn at the
wheel of a new Chevrolet.
