; Lake Sommerville Project Subject Of Grad Students A group of Texas A&M gradu ate students has just completed a semester-long class project which provides a master proposal for development of the Lake Somer ville area. The group, made up of archi tecture and landscape architec ture and recreation and parks students, concentrated on princi ples of design, travel, tourism and recreation for the lake. They were taught by Dr. Clare A. Gunn of the Recreation and Parks De partment. The final project plan covers an overall combination of sepa rate developments needed for an estimated total of 2,000 persons on any one day, 20,000 persons for peak days, and 40,000 for special events. INCLUDED ARE special activ ity areas, such as a primary tour ist service center, a second home subdivision, a resort-convention center, a boating-picnicking com plex, sightseeing tours and a fishing complex. The project’s approach is based upon tourism-recreation research which Gunn conducted in Michi gan and Hawaii before he came to Texas A&M. “Most training in the past,’’ Gunn said, “approaches develop ment from strictly a park, recre ation area, or a hotel, motel and restaurant business point of view. What is needed is an approach that combines the many parts of development because this is the real life happening today.” To add to the challenge of to tal land design, the students in cluded the town of Somerville in the overall proposal. Informa tion, interviews and several guided tours were provided by the Corps of Engineers, develop ers of the reservoir. Gunn divided the semester’s work into four phases. Students studied in teams and as individ uals. As more emphasis was placed on aesthetics and artistic design as on physical functional aspects. IN THE FIRST phase, the students researched the area, the visitor characteristics and the land ownership patterns. “The greatest needs today are creativity and innovation. These are the unique contributions of designers. However, their ef forts can be more appealing and more useful if based upon sound study of facts,” Gunn pointed out. Climate, topography, soils, wa ter resources, wildlife and vege tation were among the natural resources studied. Also investi gated were characteristics of us ers of Lake Somerville and other Texas reservoirs, economic devel opment, history and legends, aesthetic properties and geo graphic position. The second phase was the syn thesis of the research to deter mine its meaning in terms of travel, tourism and recreation expansion. Individual student conclusions were drawn here. PREPARATION of a prelim inary program for development was the third phase. The value of idea interchange between the two types of students was evi dent at this stage. “The recreation and parks stu dents utilized their backgrounds to plan for what they felt should and could be done,” Gunn ex plained. “The design students con ceived ideas on how and where these things could be accomplished for best land use and enjoyment for future visitors.” Narrowing and refining solu tions into one overall project plan was the final step. “This has been the most excit ing part of the project because it meant considerable give and take among the highly specialized stu dents, as well as making use of the research data.” Page 6 College Station, Texas Thursday, May 16, 1968 THE BATTALION BATTALION CLASSIFIED WANT AD RATES One day ‘i<t per word each addition 4c‘ per word itionai day Minimum charge—50<!

WASHINGTON UP) — The Pentagon’s draft calls, which be gan shooting up in January and peaked at 48,000 in April, con tinued to slide down Wednesday with a request for 15,000 Army recruits in July. At the same time, the Defense Department said the Army finds it needs 9,500 fewer men in June than expected, so the draft call for that month is being reduced from 29,500 to 20,000. It was explained that the Army over estimated the number of men who will be discharged during the month. The 15,000 July request is the lowest since the 11,400 of April last year. Draft calls rose sharply at the start of this year because so many called in the Vietnam buildup two years ago were completing their compul sory service. But now that that cycle is com plete, the Pentagon said lower draft calls can be expected dur ing the second half of 1968. The changing draft picture comes at a time when 39,000 Re serves and National Guardsmen are being called up. Air Reservists, air Guardsman and naval air Reservists totaling 14,787 were mobilized Jan. 26 shortly after the North Koreans seized the U. S. intelligence ship Pueblo and its crew. Then a month ago about 24,500 Reservists and National Guards men were ordered to report in 30 days. About 20,000 of those joined the active force this week, forming some 87 units from 34 states. Another 3,600 individuals needed to fill out units are to show up June 15. The callups this year have run this way: January, 34,000; Feb ruary, 23,300; March, 41,000; April, 48,000; May, 45,900; June 20,000; July, 15,000. The 48,000 April total was near the highest Vietnam callup of 49,200 in Octo ber 1966. YMCA Selects 120 Counselors For Fish Camp Sophomores, juniors and sen iors — 120 of them — have been selected as Texas A&M counsel ors for the YMCA’s “Fish” camp this fall. Selection Chairman David Howard of Houston said the camp will be conducted Sept. 7-10 at Lakeview Methodist Assembly grounds near Palestine. Howard predicted more than 400 entering freshmen chosen from top levels of high school graduating classes throughout the state will participate. Speakers include A&M profes sors, student leaders and minis ters from Bryan and College Sta tion, he said. Howard said freshmen attend ing the camp often become stu dent leaders at A&M. And coun selors, he observed, are chal lenged to become better students and more effective leaders. Save Money - Move Cheap. Rent U-Haul trucks or trailers., T.

Dr. C. V. Wootan, associate TTI director, said the traction characteristic studies will be con ducted under a $70,000 contract awarded last month. He noted TTI just completed preliminary evaluations of the cars and types of pavements to be used in the tests. Wootan said the initial tests will be witnessed by representa tives of the NBS headquarters in Washington, D. C., and Davidson Laboratories of Stevens Insti tute of Technology, Hoboken, N.J. The TTI official emphasized NBS personnel will conduct the actual tire ratings. “Our role will be to develop criteria for establishing test to measure traction characteristics,” Wootan explained. Tire traction is one of five general areas being explored in the tire evaluation project order ed by the Department of Trans portation’s National Highway Safety Bureau.
