Dynamic change and plans to
handle it are necessary for the
future survival of the United
States, a sociologist told SCON A
Saturday morning.
Dr. Daniel Bell was the wind
up speaker for a scattering of the
conference-weary delegates, who
had just finished a late breakfast.
As chairman of the Commis
sion on the Year 2000 for the
Academy of Arts and Sciences,
Bell has explored the changes of

the past 25 years and has “map
ped” current trends and future
problems.
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.

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!”
