Some major
Parking, streets have changes
By STEVE DUNKLEBERG
Staff Writer
The usual back to school park
ing problems at A&M have been
complemented this fall by a new
color, a parking lot switch and
the massive construction around
campus, according to Morris A.
Maddox, assistant chief of the
University Police.
The new color is purple. The
University Police initiated purple
parking areas this year. They
will be reserved for random staff
'parking and visitors.
In an effort to provide more
day student and faculty parking,
Parking Area (PA) 9, next to
Law Hall, has been switched
from a dorm student parking area
to a day student-faculty area.
This will provide 304 additional
day student parking spaces, and
another 101 for the faculty, Mad
dox explained.
Construction on campus has
forced the closing of five streets,
either completely or partially. Ire
land Street has been closed from
FM 60 to Ross. Lubbock has been
closed from Nagle to Bizzell, and
Houston is closed from the inter
section of Lamar to the Memorial
Student Center (MSC).
The east side of Clark has been
closed, also due to construction,
and Lamar has been temporarily
closed, except for deliveries to the
MSC.
Maddox also pointed out that
University Police are issuing
parking permits at offices in the
basement of the YMCA Building
(room 017). The offices are open
from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m., with the
exception of the noon hour. It
is required that all faculty mem
bers, students, and staff members
register their motor vehicles be
fore parking them on campus.
Parking space on the west edge
of the campus civilian freshmen
and sophomores has been in
creased. Oveflow from all dormi
tory student lots including the
12-dorm area will be taken by
the east part of the new 1,000-car
Engineering Center lot.
Changes affect lots 39 and
south 49 paralleling State High
way 2154, lot 9 west of Law Hall
and Engineering Center lot 50.
Lot 39 for Memorial Student
Center employees has been moved
to Ferguson Street and part of
the gravel lot south of Ferguson.
Space vacated by the lot 39 shift
was added to lot 49 from Main
Drive south along SH 2154 for
civilian freshman and sophomore
green permits.
“No green permits are allowed
in lot 49 north of main drive,”
he said.
The east end of lot 9—an all
day-student lot—is now posted
lot 42 for faculty-staff cars moved
off Military Walk.
“Any dormitory student who
cannot find space in his assigned
area may park in lot 50, but only
on the east end,” Maddox said.
Cars illegally parked on Bizzell
Street and the entrance to lot 23
may also park in east 50. Green
permits may also use east 50.
The west side of lot 50 is for
day students and staff parking,
he said.
“Dormitory students may not
use day student nor random area
parking,” he said.
Maddox reminded that lot 31
from the south side of G. Rollie
White Coliseum to the south end
of Kyle Field stadium is for day-
student parking only. The day-
student only restriction applies
also to the west segment of lot 9.
“If students will go by these
changes, they will save a lot of
tickets,” the assistant chief said.
Total campus vehicle registra
tion has not yet been tabulated,
Maddox went on, but over 2,100
staff permits have been issued,
“the most we’ve ever had.”
Construction employees may
continue to use the east part of
lot 50 until it fills up, Maddox
said.

Wainerdi new assistant Y.P.
Dr. Richard E. Wainerdi has
been appointed to the newly cre
ated position of assistant vice
president for academic affairs at
Texas A&M, President Jack K.
Williams announced today.
Dr. Williams said Wainerdi will
team with Dr. John C. Calhoun
Jr., who assumed the position of
vice president for academic af
fairs today, to provide the great
est possible depth and leadership
in this key area as the university
continues to grow and diversify.
“Dr. Wainerdi will be invalu
able in this position,” Dr. Calhoun
noted, “because of his exceptional
talents for developing new pro
gram packages and for analyzing
the critical issues of on-going
programs.”
The new assistant vice presi
dent founded the university’s Ac
tivation Analysis Research Lab
oratory and will continue to con
duct research in this field.
Dr. Wainerdi joined Texas A&M
in 1957 as head of the Nuclear
Science Center and associate pro
fessor of nuclear engineering and
petroleum engineering. In addi
tion to serving as assistant to
the dean and associate dean of
Chicano says police are
“street level bureaucracy
Chicano leader Martin Garcia
of Houston accused police of
“street level bureaucracy” where
most decisions are made on in
adequate information.
Speaking Tuesday at the 14th
annual Police-Community Rela
tions Institute, Garcia said police
departments “create routines to
supplement information, then
make most decisions according
to the routine.”
He suggested the street level
bureaucracy also has moved into
education and most governmental
agencies. It has become more
frustrating than federal bureauc
racy, he said.
Garcia said one problem is that
minority viewpoints are not
understood because of the very
small numbers of minority people
employed in police and govern
ment.
“When minority races are em
ployed, we serve as a reference
area for fellow workers,” the
field coordinator for the Uni
versity of Houston’s Parent-
Child Clinic said.
He noted the Crystal City elec
tion in 1963, where Mexican
Americans took over the city
government.

Air t’orce Capt. Dennis P.
Tewell, 1968 A&M graduate of
Bryan, has been awarded the
Distinguished Flying Cross for
live-saving airmanship in South
east Asia.
Captain Tewell was flying an
EC-121R aircraft on reconnais
sance mission in Vietnam. Power
was lost over a high-threat anti
air-craft defensee area. Despite
flight instrument problems and
bad weather, Tewell piloted the
aircraft and crew to safety
The son of retired Army M.
Sgt. Thomas R. Tewell, 822 En
field, Bryan, also wears the com
mendation medal. Commissioned
through the AFROTC program
at A&M, Tewell was a finance
major, football trainer, Squad
ron 14 and “T” Association
member.
“Those people who supported
the candidates that won wanted
to take over the police force,”
Garcia said. “Many minority
groups feel taking over the po
lice force is taking the govern
ment.”
Garcia admitted his feelings
may change within the next year.
He begins work Wednesday as
assistant to the mayor of Albu
querque, N. M., under a one-year
urban study grant from Yale
University.
He believes arrests are higher
in minority group areas because
more police manpower is placed
in those areas, with officers seek
ing arrests.
“If we could have more people
hired in police and highway pa
trol departments,” he said, “then
we would have a representative
in the culture who understands
the minority culture.”

from Pennsylvania State Univer
sity.
