THE BATTALION
Listen Up the hatt forum
Editor:
On behalf of the Bryan Boys
Club I wish to express our sin
cere appreciation to the students
of Texas A&M for giving of
their fruit at the annual A&M
Christmas banquet to the club so
that many boys will have a more
joyful Christmas. It is difficult
to realize that for dozens of boys
in Brazos County the only
Christmas they will have will
come from this fruit.
Especially we wish to thank
the Student Senate for doing all
the work and to the two mess
halls for being so cooperative.

Editor:
I have always believed in call
ing a spade a spade. In the cur
rent vernacular, I believe in tell
ing it like it is. For all free men
the search for the truth and the
good is what it is all about. Mr.
David Reynolds in his letter pub
lished in the December 17, 1969,
Battalion refers to a “balanced”
program for the Political Forum
and under this guise is wittingly
or unwittingly advancing an
abominable sophism which is
being foisted on this country on
a large scale which in essence
equates good and evil under the
guise of achieving some abstract
“balance”. Such indiscriminate
use of the word “balance” by a
vice chairman of the Political
Forum is very disturbing. Are
we not to discriminate between
good and evil ? What goal or
purpose could such a course of
action serve if not self-destruc
tion ? Does a dietician balance a
diet by including rat poison? In
the educational process, “bal
ance” with respect to an individ
ual means promoting moral, spir
itual and physical development as
well as mental; not including in
fluences which inhibit develop
ment in any of these areas. It
is all a question of values. Let
us hear from Mr. Reynolds what
a balanced program means for
the Political Forum. As a final
remark no belief can withstand
any criticism if the individual
who holds the belief does not dis
criminate between good and evil.

Place Street to Holleman Drive.
The third zoning change ap
proved by the commission involv
ed a revised request to rezone
property south of Holleman
Drive and west of the proposed
extension of Welsh Street.
The change was made on con
dition that Welsh Street be ex
tended and that Nevada Street
be dedicated. Gardner voted
against approval of the motion.
The first of the two requests
which were turned down by the
commission was for rezoning a
5.7 acre tract from residential
to commercial. The tract is north
of Holleman drive and adjacent
to the city’s elevated water stor
age tank.
“This property has poor access
from the standpoint of general
commercial use. It would encour
age more traffic turning on and
off of Holleman where there is
not a traffic light,” Commission
er Jim Gardner said in the oppos
ing the proposal.
Additional property “is not
really needed for general com
mercial use,” Gardner said point
ing out that “300 acres have
been zoned for commercial while
only 60 acres are developed for
commercial in the city.”
Gardner suggested that the 1.9
acre tract south of Holleman
Drive be extended and used for
commercial development instead.
An 18.4 acre tract failed to get
approval for rezoning from sin
gle family residence to apart
ment. The tract is located south
of Holleman Drive and East of
the proposed Anderson Street.
It is not needed and it would
create “two serious curves” on
Anderson Street, Gardner said
in moving that the commission
turn down the request.
All of the zoning requests act
ed upon by the commission are
subject to action by the City
Council in its next meeting for
final approval or disapproval.
