Frosh Claim 2nd At Laredo Festival The Freshman Drill Team re turned Sunday from claiming sec ond place honors at the Laredo Drill Team Competitions. Staged as a part of the George Washington’s Birthday celebra tions in Laredo, the competition attracts top-notch college and high school drill teams from over the state. Also included in the festivities is a two and one half mile long UNDERPASS (Continued from Page 1) rights of way in 1957,” he said. “In ’57 we were talking about $30-$50,000,” said Councilman Joe Sorrells. “Right now we are talk ing about unknown sums.” This, primarily, was the reason the Council decided to take no defi nite action until a cost estimate had been determined. Orr told the meeting he believed the majority of the Council was in favor of the underpass. “We need it,” said Councilman Carl Landiss. “It would be a fac tor of safety for the community. The present crossing is one of the most dangerous things in the city.” The new underpass would be lo cated where Farm to Market Road 60 crosses the Texas and New Orleans and Missouri Pacific rail road tracks—at the far west end of North Uate. The Highway Department has agreed to build the underpass at a cost of $720,000 if the City of College Station, A&M College, Brazos County and the two rail road companies agree to furnish rights of way. All of the agen cies involved have indicated* they are in favor of the project. parade through the streets of La redo. The Aggie Fish were among drill teams from Mexico and the United States participating in the procession. H. W. Schmid, pre-dental major from San Antonio, is the comman der of the precision marching freshmen. “We had the longest drill se quence of any of the teams en tered. It consisted of five min utes of straight G.I. drill and five minutes of fancy drill,” Schmid said. Arlington State College placed first in the college division, the Fish were second, and one of the two drill teams from the Univer sity of Texas placed third. “We were the only all-freshman team thea’e,” Schmid pointed out. The high school division of the competition was dominated by Central Catholic High School of San Antonio. Schmid is a grad uate of Central Catholic. The Aggie drill team marched with 39 members, making it the largest college drill team present. TL.e unit advisors making the trip were Capt. Calvin Reese and Cadets Roger John and John Platt. - THE BATTALION Tuesday, February 28, 1961 College Station, Texas Page 3 QUICKIE SESSION Water-Saving Bill Passes Committee By The Associated Press AUSTIN—A major water-saving proposal in Gov. Price Daniel’s program whirled out of committee Monday in an administration rush for fast action. It was SJR 11, allowing the state to buy water storage in federal reservoirs, approved in a special quickie session of the House Con stitutional Amendments Commit tee. Earlier, another measure de signed to insure purity of under ground water supplies was passed in the Senate, while the House advanced several tax collection efficiency bills. More action on money-raising proposals was in immediate pros pect. Rep. Charles Ballman <of Borger said the House Revenue and Taxation Committee will have a night session, probably work on deficit-erasing proposals urged by Daniel. The water storage purchase amendment may get quick action in the House Tuesday. If approved by the House with out change in the Senate version, the issue would be put to voters in the expected runoff of the spe cial Senate election on June 3. If approved by voters, then the next Legislature would have the job of putting the constitutional change in effect. “That is one of the possible dates that could be set for a run off,” explained John Gholson, an aide of Gov. Daniel. He added “the governor is very much in favor of this measure.” Special committee rules requir ing all measures to go to sub committees were suspended by a 12-4 vote to give the proposed con stitutional change a clear track. If approval had not been granted Monday there would not have been time for the measure to be put into effect for a June 3 ballot. “This is the one solution to the water problem is it exists in Texas today,” said Durwood Manford, chairman of the State Board of Water Engineers. A similar measure passed both houses of the Legislature four years ago but each house approved a slightly different version. The proposal died when a last minute filibuster in the Senate kept the compromise version from being considered. ii ■■■■■! rrnimiim i ■ ■■ n niiii “Sports Car Center” Dealers for Renault-Peugeot & British Motor Cars Sales—Parts—Service “We Service All Foreign Cars”! 1416 Texas Ave. TA 2-4517 For The Best Banquet Service Anywhere Plan Your Banquet At THE TRIANGLE RESTAURANT FOR CHOICE DATES PLAN NOW DIAL TA 2-1352 1 Triangle Restaurant 3606 S.
