Married Housing
Is Unique ‘City’
THE BATTALION
Thursday, March 16, 1967 College Station, Texas Page 3
Married student facilities at
Texas A&M form a “city-within-
a-city” with a population com
parable to Grosbeck, League City,
Madisonville or Dublin.
“Mayor” of the self-contained
operation is Calvin E. Moore,
student apartments office man
ager and a man with a keen eye
on the well-being of the “citi
zens.” Moore has assigned quar
ters for 11,149 families in 20
years with A&M.
College View, Hensel and
Southside apartments house a
quarter of A&M’s 3,000 married
students.
The majority live in 58 College
View buildings.
“A CV apartment isn’t the brid
al suite of the Sheraton-Dallas,”
63-year-old Moore noted, “but it’s
a decent and clean place to live
for $48 a month.” The 252 mod
ern, brick Hensel apartments each
rent for $75 a month.
The student apartments office
is responsible for assignment,
furnishings, maintenance and fix
tures, and bills for residents of
the 776 apartments.
A 16-man maintenance force re
pairs plumbing, reupholsters
furniture, paints, wires and makes
minor modifications to 94 apart
ment buildings. Moore’s men do
groundwork and landscaping chor
es during summers.
“We take care of everything
up to major repairs,” the 22-year
A&M employe stated. New
screens, window facings, screen
doors and shade are constructed
and refrigerators overhauled. Two
painters have worked steadily 2^2
years renovating apartments. The
Physical Plant Department does
major jobs.
“Problems are aired and re
pairs requested when students
pay their rent the first five of
fices days of each month,” the
manager noted. “Most work is

History Article
An article in “The Alabama

roe of Texas A&M describes

The article, “Early Confeder

routine and has a public rela
tions angle to it. We try to get
along with tenants.”
Moore applies an efficient rule-
of-thumb to unusual requests.
“ ‘Can I do it for 775 other
families?’ I ask myself, and
make a decision,” he revealed.
Apartment assigning is a full
time job for the entire office
force, the former Bryan lumber
company manager said. Acquisi
tion is on a first come, first serv
ed basis. Student regard for the
apartments causes long waiting
lists.
“I would never have gotten a
degree had my wife and I not
had an A&M apartment,” one stu
dent remarked.
Howard Vestal, auxiliary serv
ices director and Moore’s boss,
said the operation is one of A&M’s
smoothest.
“It’s a good education for these
kids, some of whom marry right
after high school,” Moore observ
ed. “They learn to get along
with people.”
In some respects, he added,
A&M apartment living isn’t true-
to-life.
“Students think nothing of call
ing at midnight to report a leak
ing faucet. After they graduate,
they won’t call many plumbers
about something like that,” Moore
said.
Many complaints have relative
ly simple cures.
“A graduate student dashed in
once and said he needed two fau
cets changed,” he recalled. “Claim
ed he got cold water from the
hot water tap. I suggested he
get a screwdriver and change the
handles.”

At The Movies
with Bob Borders
“The Spy With the Cold Nose”
is another in the long series of
spy spoofs we have been bom
barded with lately.
This is another in the long
series of spy movie reviews you
have been bombarded with, but it
ends here. I promise no more.
It seems they have just about
run out of situations. Everything
has been done at least once, and
somehow all the suspense has just
gone out of them.
“The Spy With the Cold Nose”
is no worse than the run-of-the-
mill spy stories, but neither is it
any better, and this puts it in
pretty sorry company.
Besides, since the CIA caper,
it’s not “in” any more to be a
spy. It’ll be interesting to see
What subject will take the lead
now.
“Cold Nose” takes the usual
format of the unlikely hero and
his bumbling ways. Perhaps the
only distinction that can be made
between this spy movie and the
others is that the hero, played
by Laurence Harvey, never gets
the girl. No, not even once (His
wife is very jealous).
The poor man’s wife is his
nemesis. She can’t understand
why he can’t throw money around
like James Bond, and she’s always
after him to try for a promotion.
His kids are the ordinary,
wholesome children you would
expect to live right next door —
if you lived next door to a re
formatory.
He lives for his job, and finally
gets a chance to initiate a really
big project on his own, which he
completely gobbles.
But he is barely saved by the
Russian agent who defeats him,
Daliah Lavi. It seems she has
no scruples about changing her
loyalty if the material compen
sation is enough.
She goes along with a scheme
to negate his gobble, which suc
ceeds, but he ends up committing
the biggest gobble ever.
But enough of that.
A really bright spot in the us
ually dry day-after-day fare giv
en to us by the neighborhood
theater is “Georgy G i r 1,” the
English movie starring Lynn Red
grave and Michael Bates, which
is up for several academy awards.
This movie, supposed to start
Sunday, has been billed as a com
panion feature to “Alfie,” an
other English movie, starring
Michael Caine.
“Alfie” is another movie prom
ised, but sometimes those which
are promised never materialize.
But it’s not really so bad when
I consider the fact that in my
East Texas hometown “Thunder-
ball” is the big thing now.
