Page 4 THE BATTALION TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1974 City discusses plan for 1990 By HANK WAHRMUND Staff Writer Converting' to a paid 76-man fire fighting squad and develop ing a city-owned water supply were two of the projected changes for College Station considered by its planning and zoning commis sion last night. Using 1990 as a target year, the commission’s planning board recommended the city increase its present fireman staff of eight paid and 24 volunteer firemen to 76 fulltime firemen. Two fire sub stations would also be built to ac commodate the expected popula tion increase to 50,000 by 1990. The present fire/police station would be converted to strictly po lice facilities, including the con struction of a jail for overnight prisoners. The present ratio of one officer to 1,000 citizens would be increased to 1.5 officers to 1,000 people. The city presently has 17 officers. The board told the commission the city should be self-support ing in water supplies by 1990. One proposal was that the city could drill its own well like Bryan now has. A second proposal was to use water from a reservoir created by either the Navasota or Millican dam projects. Al though neither dam is yet start ed, the board feels sure one or the other will be under construction soon. Due to the sharp increases in TAMU enrollment and subsequent community population increases over the last four years the com mission also heard information on increasing sewage and solid waste facilities for the city. Today Col lege Station uses about 3 million gallons of water per day, but by 1990 the city is expected to be using 15 million gallons per day. Upgrading of maintenance and warehouse storage space were seen as requiring six to seven acres of land and over 12,000 square feet of housed working areas for vehicle garages and me chanical repairs. Recreational projections includ ed twelve new city parks and landscaping those areas surround ing city buildings and warehouses to give better eye appeal and comfort to nearby residents.

TOMORROW, Williams will have no comment upon Kunstler’s suggestion. “I’ve never met the man,” he will say. Kunstler has the rally rolling at this point, but his heart isn’t really in it. He is due back in Chicago to continue his efforts for the Wounded Knee Indians Monday, and must catch a plane in Houston tonight. The rally never reaches a higher peak than this one. Kunstler speaks on about free speech, the Constitution, money and morality. He gets more applause when he exhorts the students to stage demonstrations, and laughter when he suggests picketing the president’s house. HE GETS LESS applause by suggesting that blacks, Chicanos and Indians deserve more than a “fair” shake, in return for the past crimes committed upon their races. When he suggests that audiences may deprive speakers of their chance to be heard, a front- row spectator tells him he holds a dangerous philosophy. The people around the heckler tell him to be quiet. At the end of his time, Kunstler calls Kosub up on stage. They walk off together, Kunstler’s arm around Kosub’s shoulders. for completion by 1990. The cost for all this proposed updating and improving of city facilities should run from $800,000 to nearly $1 million, the board reported. In other business, the commis sion heard from residents on Guadalupe Street in the Camelot subdivision who protested the tie- in of their street with Langford Street. They said that the increas ed traffic flow to and from the new high school and the CS Church of Christ on such a nar row street, as they called it, would endanger their children. Commissioners replied that the street size was standard for its area. They said each street should have two exits, and it would be impossible to provide Langford with an alternate exit other than joining it to Guadalupe as the preliminary plat proposed. The motion to accept the plat with the Guadalupe-Langford in tersection passed unanimously. An inserted provision said that sidewalks would be installed on the north side of Guadalupe, but only if the street’s residents pe titioned for them and agree to support part of the cost. i aust convent! < day to e for voca' a progre to churc The 1 tout 6: vote coi aniel * ^ducatio ^tution.

More than 1,500 Texas high school students and counselors swarmed the Zachry Engineering Center Friday for the annual Junior Engineering Technical So ciety (JETS) state conference. Students from Sulphur Springs to Houston came to participate in technical skills competition, to learn about engineering educa tion at TAMU, and to enjoy a day off from school while plan ning their educational future. This year’s conference was With any luck at all, more per sons will vote in the April 2 city elections especially after 483 per sons registered to vote last week. The TAMU voter registration drive, headed by Pam Jewell, was last Tuesday and Wednesday and made the total registered go way over 1,000 for the year. “At the beginning of the fall semester we registered about 800 persons,” said Jewell. “We caught a lot of the new students then. At this registration we made stu dents aware that they could change their original registration. “We also made them aware that the city does affect them whether or not they live on-campus,” said Jewell. Slightly less than one-half of those registering were changing to this area and 262 of all those registering live on-campus. Jewell noted many people were Bryan residents, mostly staff. Plans are to have another drive in a couple of months. Ballet with its roots in Mexican folk and traditional dances will be here this week. The Ballet Folklorico of Mexico will perform Thursday at 8 p.m. in the Rudder Center Auditorium. The Opera and Performing Arts Society special attraction will feature some new productions of some of the Ballet’s most famous numbers. Mme. Amalia Hernandez founder and director of the world- famous troupe of 75 dancers, singers and musicians, has creat ed “Los Concheros” (The Shell Dancers) especially for this ninth United States tour under the management of S. Hurok. In ad dition, she has restaged and re designed “The Dances of Michoa- can” and “The Tarascans,” two of her most successful early works. “Wedding in the Huaste- ca,” with its exciting machete fight, has also been given a new production and wardrobe. “Los Concheros” is based on pre-Hispanic ritual dances con sidered among the most historic and colorful of all Mexican cere monies. Unlike other Mexican In dian dances they have never been performed outside the country. The brilliant Michoacan dances are extremely difficult to exe cute, with the additional require ment that they must be perform ed by the prettiest and most tal ented girls from the village of their origin. “The Tarascans” divides man’s existence into episodes from birth to death. It evokes every aspect of emotional reaction from stir ring drama to high comedy. It is highlighted by the famous “Dance of the Little Old Men.” The music will be supplied by the Ballet’s bands of marimbaists, mariachis, Veracruzanos and In dian folk musicians. There is a chorus as well. Tickets are now on sale at Rud- Midi der Center Box Office. Since wg: - is a special attraction, everynfe^i must buy a ticket.
