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. Two
more elementary schools are set

the crowd applauds—“or at the very least,
apologize to the student body.” And the crowd
applauds again.
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.

More than 1,500 Texas high

swarmed the Zachry Engineering
Center Friday for the annual
Junior Engineering Technical So
ciety (JETS) state conference.

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.
