Experts
discuss
land use
A three-day conference held here
through Sunday saw former Secret
ary of the Interior Stewart Udall and
A&M’s own economic theorist, Dr.
Phil Gramm, taking opposing
stands on the need for land use
planning.
The two were speakers on differ
ent days before the Texas Land Use
Assembly, made up of about 100
business and professional people
representing industry, education,
government and ranching. The
group filed a report Sunday with the
state recommending legislation in
land use planning.
Udall in his talk said national con
trols over the conservation and con
trol of land and natural resources
could be expected from the next
Congress. Udall, now an ecology
consultant, called Texas one of the
more backward states in imple
menting land use policy because of
strong traditions of private prop
erty.
Gramm, a free-market advocate,
said government land use planning
has continuously been “grossly un
economic.” He contended land use
could be more efficiently regulated
through the balance of supply and
demand. He criticized the
government s inability to ade
quately forecast the future, which
would further hamper land use
planning. He cited population esti
mates by the U.S. Census Bureau as
an example of poor forecasting.
The assembly's report called tor
the federal government to limit its
land use planning, leaving resource
management to the state and local
governments. The report also asks
for a shift of the state’s tax burden
away from land resources to a state
property tax which would penalize
the conversion of agricultural land
to nonagricultural use.
Drill Team
ends second
The Fish Drill Team (FDT) went
against six other state teams on
Saturday. It placed second for the
third straight year.
Other teams in the Gulf Coast
Drill Meet had a year or more of
experience.
The team commanded by Ken
Donnelly of Garland missed win
ning the championship by 24 points.
The fish scored 856, to 880 by Texas
A&I. Third-place LFT-Arlington had
840.
The regular drill season is during
the spring. Whitted and other up-
perclass advisers will continue pre
paring the FDT for meets and ap
pearances at Mardi Gras in New Or
leans, Laredo, Austin, possibly
Tempe, Ariz., San Antonio and the
state championship meet here.
Planning is under way to have the
national championship meet again
this year, in Dallas. The 1963 to
1972 Fish Drill teams won the na
tional title in Washington, D.C.
The TAMU teams of 1967 and 1973
were runners-up.
The national championship com
petition was cancelled last spring.
