Population shifts were primary in speaking of the changes in so ciety. The rims of the nation are becoming more crowded, causing the possibility of three gigantic metropolitan areas. These cities, “Boswash”, “Chip- its”, and “Sansan,” would stretch along the Atlantic, Great Lakes and Pacific coasts, respectively, said Bell. This demographic change will bring and has brought, other changes in Amer ican society. “Because of the transportation and communications revolutions, a national awareness and a com mon stimulus have come over the nation,” Bell said. This national society has brought to light the deficiencies of the U. S. political system and its policies. The U.S. government has become increasingly less re sponsive to the needs of the na tion, and as the U. S. becomes aware of its different sectors, an Hervey not seeking re-election New mayor to be elected By VICKIE ASHWILL Staff Writer Mayor J. B. Hervey of College Station announced Monday at the City Council meeting that he would not seek re-election when his term expires in April. “When I first filed for the of fice, I stated I would not be a long term mayor or office seek er,” said Hervey in his state ment, “but would do my best while serving. That commitment has been met.” Hervey named a few items ac complished or initiated by the Council during his three year term, such as construction of a two million gallon waste disposal plant, new sewer and electrical lines, a new City Park, a new Olympic pool and the initiation of a long range 701 plan for the city. Council members approved or dinance no. 900, a call for the general municipal election to be April 2. The purpose of the election is to elect a mayor, and councilmen for places 2, 4 and 6. Place 5 on the council, left vacant by the death of R. D. Radeleff, will also be filled until Radeleff’s term ex pires on April 1, 1975. Among other things, the ordi nance calls for the use of punch card voting machines in the elec tion. Hervey appointed a charter re vision investigating committee during the session. This commit tee will be charged with investi gating items such as a ward sys tem for College Station and pos sibly combining the city and school board elections. Revision committee members are Councilman Fred R. Brison, chairman, Student Government President Randy Ross, City At torney Jim Dozier, City Manager North Bardell and Councilmen Homer Adams and Don R. Dale. Councilmen also approved or dinance no. 901, regulating am bulance service in College Station. Bardell said the ordinance estab lishes a definition of an ambu lance service and operator, pro vides for liability insurance, per mits, taxes and rate schedules. The service will be effective March 1. In other action, the city coun cil approved a request by the Powell Construction Co. to con sider a proposed 25,000 square foot metal building for a Handy man store at the corner of South Texas and Pinon Drive as an ex ception to the proposed fire pre vention code. The company said the required sprinkler system would create a considerable additional cost if it were ever used and be as dam aging to their inventory as would a fire. Three new firemen for the city at an approximate cost of $3,000 outside of the budget were final ized by the council. This addition will give the College Station force 12 officers with four on each of three shifts. aggressive policy must be estab lished, the sociologist said. The national society has caused the U. S. to become a commutdal society as well. “The complex growth of an interrelated society has raised a question of using regulation to order things,” said Bell. He foresees conflicts be tween special interest groups and decision making bodies as those bodies become more defined. The post-industrial, or service, society is also becoming a reality in the U.S. “The labor force of the nation is 70 per cent white collar, moving us into the age of theoretical knowledge and highly educated workers,” Bell said. He spoke of the need to use educa tion as the necessary resource for management of large society. “We won’t be a planned society, but rather a planning society. In this way, the problems of the fu ture will be handled without over reaction,” concluded Bell. 4f 4 ' VA?

AGGIE SPECIAL! 8 x 10 Bust Size Portrait In Color MSC schedules activity-laden week Speaker claims public dominated By LATONYA PERRIN Staff Writer The next-to-last speech for SCONA 19 condemned the sacri ficing of the public interest to the interest of big business. Barbara Williams, outspoken executive director of the Coalition for Human Needs and Budgetary Priorities, told less than 125 peo ple Friday that the country’s problems were bigger than high prices, unemployment and scarc ity of goods. “There is a much bigger prob lem facing us — that of too much wealth in the hands of too few,” said Williams. She spoke specifically of the need to review the budgets of the various government departments more closely, and corporate tax reform — especially in the case of oil companies. “Last year the oil companies paid only 2 per cent in taxes when it could have been as high as 48 per cent,” said Williams. People just cannot afford to segregate themselves into little groups anymore, said Williams. The problems do not just belong to other people anymore. “Don’t look around for some one else to carry a sign for, be cause you are in it, too. You do not have to be black anymore to be a victim of benign neglect any more,” Williams said. She continued that the time has passed when the country could say that it would “wait and see if a social reform works before it will fund it. “Whoever heard of them mak ing other programs prove them selves first?” asked Williams. Williams explained that the reason she did not send a list of her credentials, which include a law degree from UCLA was be cause she did not wish to be asso ciated with the experts. “The experts have been so wrong for so long that I have no wish to be identified with them,” said Williams. In questioning, SCONA dele gates asked Williams to be more specific. She repeated her ear lier examples and elaborated on them. When asked how oil com panies could get away with pay ing so little in taxes, she replied, “That is a good question!” A week of activities ranging from beauty aids to backpacking is being sponsored by the Memor ial Student Center.
