THE BATTALION Page 4 College Station, Texas Tuesday, October 29,1M New TV Service 100-Milers ‘Running Wild’ Talked By Council Things have “just gone wild” in A&M’s 100 Mile Club, with people running all over the place, says John M. Chevrette, smiling. TAKES AFTER HER GRANDFATHER Michaela Cohan, 25, granddaughter of George M.

Like her grandfather did 50 years ago, she encourages performers to entertain American servicemen “Over There.” (AP Wirephoto) The College Station City Coun cil Monday tabled a measure which would have provided the area with two television cable services. The Community Cable Corpor ation had petitioned the City of College Station for a franchise. The franchise measure passed on the first two readings and need ed to be passed once more to be final. Seven people from Midwest Video, headed by president G. R. Morrell, pointed out that CCC had not presented a financial sheet listing their backings. John Lawrence, speaking for Midwest Video, which currently serves the area, said it is “un feasible” for another cable com pany to exist in College Station Air Force Awards Air Force Draws Government Fire WASHINGTON (A>) — Govern ment investigators have reported that during one six-month period, the Air Force junked about $6.7 million worth of damaged equip ment, most of which could have been economically repaired and used again. The General Accounting Office, the auditing arm of Congress, made the study at five Air Force bases and reported that three of every four pieces of equipment scrapped could have been repaired for amounts significantly less than the cost of new equipment. The five bases involved were Scott Air Force Base in Illinois, Perrin and Randolph bases in Texas, Nellis in Nevada and Mountain Home in Idaho. AIR FORCE regulations per mit base personnel to scrap equip ment if it is beyond repair, if re pair costs would exceed 65 per cent of the cost of new equip ment or if condemnation is speci fied by appli cable technical orders. GAO auditors said they believe that a substantial portion of the $6.7 million in equipment had been scrapped during six months in 1967 because base personnel believed that the repair costs would be excessive. However, GAO had technicians at three repair depots check 78 condemned items and found that 51 of them could have been re paired for substantially less than replacements would cost. “OUR REVIEW showed that the primary reason for improper condemnation of economically re pairable items was that main tenance personnel at the bases did not have adequate knowledge of depot repair costs, procedures and capabilities upon which to base their determinations,” the GAO report said. Among the items tested at GAO’s request was an actuator, valued at $644, which was con demned at Nellis Air Force Base on the basis that repair costs would exceed 65 per cent of the equipment’s value. Actual repair costs, GAO said, would have been $64 or 9.9 per cent of the replace ment cost. Eight Air Force decorations were awarded Friday to gradu ate students and an instructor of the Aerospace Studies Depart ment, Capt. Louis D. Sassman Jr. Medals were p r e s e n t e d in AFROTC classes by Col. Vernon L. Head, professor of aerospace studies. Captain Sassman received the Bronze Star Medal for 1967-68 service as material control sec tion chief at U-Tapao Airfield, Thailand. The assistant profes sor who came here last June was with the 4258th Strategic Wing. Decorated graduate students are officers studying at A&M through the Air Force Institute of Technology program. Air medals went to Capt. Wil liam G. Fox of Victoria and Cap. John B. Tarsoly of Clinton, S.C., both in computer science. Receiving the first Oak Leaf Cluster to the Commendation Medal were Maj. Larry A. Dillon of Irving, ctvil engineering; Maj. Loren J. Fox of Downey, Calif., computer science; Maj. Robert K. Reece of Memphis, Tenn., com puter science, and Capt. Neal E. Lamping of Dallas, geophysics. Capt. John H. Bradham of Al- colu, S.C., pinned on the Com mendation Medal. He is study ing for a master’s in meteor ology. iStti/uXMiL - AU Graduate. / MAKE SURE YOUR PICTURE WILL BE IN THE 1969 AGGIELAND YEARBOOK PICTURE SCHEDULE A-B-C — OCT. 28 - NOV. 1 D-E-F —NOV. 4-NOV. 8 G-H-I —NOV. 11-NOV. 15 J-K-L —NOV. 18-NOV. 22 M-N-O — DEC. 2 - DEC. 6 P-Q-R — DEC. 9-DEC. 13 S-T-U —JAN. 6-JAN. 10 V-W-X-Y-Z — J AN. 13-JAN. 17 CORPS SENIORS: Uniform: Class A Winter — Blouse CIVILIANS: Coat and tie.

Morrell explained that anyone experiencing any service problem should call Midwest Video and that a serviceman would call to provide repairs to the cable sys tem free of charge. City Councilman Jan Dozier, noting that the Council still was not fully informed about the CCC, made a motion to table the fran chise until a majority of the council wished to put it up for consideration. Graduate Students, Instructor Given According to Dozier, this would exert leverage on Midwest Video to improve its service, since a franchise could be granted to CCC any day the Council wishes. CCC has received endorsement from Mike Mistovich, manager of KORA Radio in Bryan. City Attorney Don Dillon pointed out to the council that it could revoke any franchise it grants “if CCC doesn’t serve the best interests of College Station.” The council votel Holliman Road as the name for the newly- paved county road which runs through the south section of town. Mayor Anderson said resi dents of that area had suggested the names of King, Kennedy, and Holliman. Chevrette, an assistant profes sor in the Health and Physical Education Department, is happy over what has happened since club members started running a year ago. With several members past the 100 mile mark, they were award ed certificates, Chevrette pointed out. “But they needed an incentive after the first 100 miles to keep them going,” he added. Chevrette explained that a ‘chevron’ award to the original certificate will be given for every additional 100 miles. He feels it has helped. “We badly need to run,” Chev rette said. “We are a nation of sitters, getting everything done for us!" week, averaging 10 miles weekly this includes a 30-minute exercise period. If he does not exercise, then he doubles his mileage. He aver ages three or four miles an hour. He is a ‘running public rela tions firm for us’ Chevrette said. Liccioni believes running makes “everything better” for him. After running during the noon College Station Tessie Named To Who’s Who Chevrette admits it’s a bit hard keeping up with all runners in the program since “they run at all hours, day and night.” But officially the club lists 266 jog gers who have chalked up over 8,000 miles since October, 1967. One of the club’s most avid advocates is Dewey Liccioni who has passed the 450 mile mark on his chart. Liccioni, purchasing and stores technical buyer, runs five days a Miss Katherine Edwards, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. T.
