An ordinance outlining 1 new
subdivision regulations was pass-
td in its revised form Monday
by the College Station Planning
and Zoning Commission.
The 30-page document, approv
ed with 15 revisions, will be for
warded to the City Council for
final action. The council will set
a date for a public hearing on
the ordinance before considering
it for approval. Codie Wells,
chairman of the nine-man plan
ning commission, told The Bat-
ID Valid in MSC
During Military,
Civilian Weekends
Cadet and civilian students on
the seven-day meal plan will be
xllowed to eat in the Memorial
Student Center Cafeteria on their
identification cards during their
tespective weekends, according to
Pat Wertheim, civilian menu
chairman.
Wertheim said that students
with dates will be allowed to eat
four meals from Friday night to
Saturday night in the cafeteria.
This will apply, he said, to
cadets on military weekend and
civilians on civilian student week-
talion that the council will prob
ably set a date for the hearing
at its March 30 meeting.
Wells said the revisions stem
med from meetings of the com
mission’s subdivision committee
with subdividers and utility com
panies.
One revision provided that the
subdivider be required to install
sidewalks in residential and col
lector areas. Previously, this re
quirement was optional.
Commissioners also agreed
that high pressure lines installed
on public property shall be mark
ed by signs installed at each
street crossing and at intervals
of no more than 300 feet.
Before the commissioners voted
on the regulation revisions, Clif
ford Ransdell, member of the
commission, asked if the panel
was aware of how much it was
adding to the building costs of
the developers.
Wells replied that according to
Federal Housing Authority esti
mates, subdividers could actually
save 10 to 15 per cent in costs.
He explained that the new reg
ulations, though they contained a
few costly refinements, never
theless gave the developer more
freedom than under old zoning
laws.
Wells added that currently de
velopers are being allowed to
build not only just a house on a
lot but a number of houses com
posing a group of related blocks.
The idea, Wells said, is to en
courage developers to build in
clusters, saving some costs in
constructing houses, but more im
portant, getting the developers to
plan parks and recreation areas
for neighborhoods they build.
The commission also passed fi
nal subdivision plats for the
Sweet Briar Addition and South-
wood, Section 8.
Library Art
Goes on Loan
Prints of renowned artists’
paintings will go on loan Thurs
day at the A&M library for the
spring semester.
John B. Smith, acting library
director, said the lending print
collection may be charged out,
one per student, beginning at 2
p.m.
The 80 framed, ready-to-hang
color prints will become due May
15. Borrowers will be held re
sponsible for lost or damaged
prints. Replacement cost ranges
from $25 to $40.
Registration for “Operation
Jericho,” a new approach to
student-administration communi
cations, will begin at 1 p.m.
Wednesday in the Serpentine
Lounge of the Memorial Student
Center.
A&M student leaders have call
ed the three-day conference “a
positive and rational approach to
the situation of student-adminis
tration communications.”
Pooling the creative capabili
ties of the leaders of the A&M
student body leaders into a
“think tank,” the program has
been structured to achieve three
main goals. They are to increase
the problem-solving and leader
ship abilities of the student body,
to stimulate intra-student rela
tionships and combat fractional-
ism in the student body, to open
a new, informal, and two-way
channel of communication be
tween the administration and the
student body.
Suggestions and recommenda
tions from ‘‘Operation Jericho”
will be directed to the administra
tion through the Student Senate.
Prior to the conference 97 stu
dent delegates received a special
three-week buildup program un
der the direction of Dr. William
R. Smith, head of the Psychology
Department.
The program, developed by Dr.
Smith for his doctoral thesis, is
designed to cultivate the problem
solving and small-group inter
action capabilities of the dele
gates. Over the three-week period
the course has subjected the
groups to problems of increasing
difficulty with trained observers
guiding and counseling the stu
dents.
The three-day program will
center around five main discus
sion topics.
The first topic, allocations of
student monies, will begin at 1:30
p.m. Wednesday in the MSC As
sembly Room. During this session
Dean of Students James P. Han-
nigan will explain use of student
service fees; University Police
Chief Ed Powell, police funds;
R. C. Diebel, university comp
troller, Exchange Store funds;
R. T. Bernard, assistant to the
president, concession funds; and
Donald R. Stafford, assistant
dean of students, parking fees.
Moderator of the discussion will
be A&M Vice President for Busi
ness Affairs Tom D. Cherry.
“Campus Apathy” will be dis
cussed by Senate vice president
Kent A. Caperton at 7 p.m. in
the Assembly Room. Areas he will
consider are the Student Senate,
Memorial Student Center, and
elections.
Academic excellence will be the
third topic, scheduled for 9:30
a.m. Thursday in the Assembly
Room. The pass fail system will
be discussed by Dan C. Lowe, as
sistant dean of Business Adminis
tration; quality of instructors,
Barbara J. Davis, assistant pro
fessor, marketing; relevancy of
courses, A&M Academic Vice-
President Horace R. Byers, who
will double as the moderator;
and examination procedures and
dead week, Dean of Liberal Arts
Frank W. R. Hubert.
The fourth topic will be intra
student relations led by Gerald
Geistweidt, Student Senate pres
ident. Meeting at 2:15 p.m. Thurs
day in the Assembly Room, the
sub-topics will be corps-civilian
relations, role of the female, po
litical minority groups, and social
fraternities.
Leslie L. Appelt, president
elect of the Association of Former
Students and a 1941 graduate,
will lead discussion on “The Di
rections of Texas A&M.” The
Houston businessman will discuss
student body composition and
A&M’s image during the confer
ence banquet at 7 p.m.
The students will close the
conference with discussion ses
sions Friday morning.
A&M staff members serving as
observers during the conference
are Dr. B. D. Stone, assistant pro
fessor, management; Dr. G. H.
Rice, professor, management; Dr.
C. A. Phillips, professor, manage
ment; Dr. Charles McCandless,
assistant dean of Liberal Arts;
Dr. H. Monroe, associate profes
sor, history; Dr. L. B. Christen
sen, assistant professor, psychol
ogy; Dr. T. K. Saville, assistant

world futures and long-range
(10 to 35 years) political, eco
nomics, technological and cultur
al changes.
His research also has delved
into strategic warfare and basic
national security policies.
Before he left to help found
the nine-year-old institute, Kahn
was associated with the RAND
Corporation where he worked on
problems ranging from applied
physics and math to particle and
radiation diffusion, civil defense
and strategic warfare.
In 1959 he went on six months
leave at the Princeton Center for
International Studies to work on
the manuscript of “On Thermo
nuclear War.”
Other books written by Kahn
are “Thinking About the Un
thinkable,” “On Escalation: Met
aphors and Scenarios,” “The Year

Years” and, with institute staff
members, “Can We Win in Viet

The Great Issues speaker has
written for publications such as

of Atomic Scientists and Daeda

the war colleges, leading U. S.
universities, the London School

70-’71 Scholarship Forms Being Accepted
Applications for 1970-71 under
graduate scholarships ranging
from $100 to $1,000 will be taken
in A&M’s Student Aid Office
through the end of March.
The 40 awards, excluding de
partmental scholarships, are sup
ported by individuals, industry,
fndowed funds and various
sources. Students of several de
partments, schools and colleges
may qualify, explained Robert M.
Logan, student aid director.
The 40 scholarships have vari
ous selection criteria including
the requ rement that the recipient
must have been an A&M student
one semester or more.
Selection criteria range from
outstanding academic achieve
ment to a combination of aca
demic achievement and need for
financial assistance, Logan said.
Two awards for students enter
ing their senior years are based
entirely on the individual’s efforts
toward financing his own educa
tion.
“Deserving students should
come by and pick up an applica
tion,” Logan said. We can’t
guarantee him a scholarship but,
nothing ventured, nothing
gained.”
Information about the several
awards and application forms will
be available in the third floor
