Clean city campaign set
By HANK WAHRMUND
Rezoning of land west of the
intersection of FM 2818 and High
way 6 and establishing a city
“Clean-up” campaign highlighted
Monday night’s College Station
City Council meeting.
The almost 900-acre tract re
zoned belongs to the Southwood
Valley Corporation which was
represented by land developer
W. D. Fitch. Fitch insisted that
the corporation would ask for no
further rezoning if the proposed
measure was passed. He said the
plans they have designed for the
land coincide with the overall city
plans.
Fitch said the rezoning would
allow the development of shop
ping centers, apartments and
single-family residences in one
neighborhood area.
However, Jim Gardner, a candi
date in the upcoming city elec
tions, protested Fitch’s proposal
calling the development plan an
example of strip zoning.
“We don’t want ‘creeping zon
ing’ to develop in our city,”
Gardner told the council.

OPAS is a functioning committee of the Town Hall Committee of Texas A&M University.
Councilman Don Dale and
Homer Adams refuted Gardner’s
arguments by questioning Gard
ner’s definition of strip zoning
and his predictions of the type of
commercial developments planned
for the area. The motion to re
zone passed unanimously.
April 20th was established as
“Clean-up Day” for College Sta
tion with Mrs. Paul Kramer as
chairperson. City trucks will be
on call to haul away any bulky
trash items with local scouting
groups picking up litter from city
right-of-ways.
“This is actually the start of
a clean-up campaign for the city
to help A&M celebrate its 100th
anniversary,” said Mayor Hervey.
“We want the city to look good
for 1976, so this campaign is
starting now and will continue
past April 20th.”
In other action, the council:
—moved to ban artificial flow
ers from the city cemetery, saying
they detracted from the natural
setting when they faded from
age;
—postponed consideration of an
amendment to the Fire Preven
tion Code concerning the place
ment of portable barbecue pits in
apartment complexes;
—approved an ambulance per
mit request from Sherrill Ambu
lance Service;
—rezoned as commercial the
strip of land along Jersey Street
and Wellborn Road;
—accepted a bid of $2,308.75
for an electrical reclosure from
the Besco Co.;
—commended City Manager
North Bardell for his work on
the bike path striping in the
school areas.

Cost of ambulance service has
recently tripled to the center.
Dr. Claude Goswick, UHC di
rector, said the minimum charge
for a campus trip is $30. Texas
A&M students pay a $14 per se
mester health service fee.
Student requests for ambulance
service in most cases should be

Special Watergate prosecutor
Leon Jaworski also has subpoe
naed additional material from the
White House and it has until Fri
day to reply.
In related developments:
—Gulf Oil stockholders filed
suit seeking $1 million in dam
ages from company executives for
making illegal campaign contri
butions to Nixon and others.
—A White House spokesman
said Nixon hasn’t yet decided
whether to make public his fed
eral tax return for 1973.
•*—Aides to Sen. Sam J. Ervin
Jr. denied an allegation contained
in a CIA memo that Ervin agreed
to play down possible CIA links
to the Watergate cover-up.
(845-1511), Goswick said. In rou
tine situations, University Police
will transport injured students to
the Health Center.
The student health service fee
covers ambulance needs at Univer
sity Health Center cost, with the
director’s approval. Dr. Goswick
noted this policy has been in ef
fect several years.
He assured that ambulance re
quests placed with the center will
get immediate attention, by either
the director or his representative.
“In an obvious extreme emer
gency, a call for an ambulance
should be placed directly to the
Sherrill Ambulance Service,” the
director said. The Sherrill phone
number is 822-9455.
The new ambulance service, lo
cated at Cavitt and Dellwood
Streets in Bryan, replaced the
former system by Bryan City
Commission action. Sherrill char
ges $30 a trip within B-CS city
limits. Oxygen is $5 extra. Trips
outside city limits increase by $10
for each 10 miles radius. For
transfer of patients to another
city the rate is $30 plus 60 cents
a mile.
Miles for Mankind
The YMCA is again sponsoring
its annual “Miles for Mankind”
