I Observatory set up Texas A&M and the city of Garland, Texas have joined to set up an urban observatory in that member of the Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex. It becomes one of ten such facilities financed by HUD and the sponsor ing cities with $300,000 pledged for the three-year project. “In each instance a university is paired with a city to develop a close working relationship that uses the expertise of the university to solve the problems of the city, ” explained Dr. Richard Thomas, head of the Center for Urban Programs at TAMU. “This is an out-growth of large city observation programs launched by HUD about four years ago. This new program pro vides the same sort of aid for cities in the 30,000 to 250,000 population range.” Problem areas currently being worked on include solid-waste disposal alternatives, an energy program to permit growth with energy conservation and greater citizen support for needed city projects. Other cities selected for the innovative program are Allentown, Pa.; Anchorage, Alaska; Boise City, Idaho; Bridgeport, Conn.; Charlottesville, Va.; Durham, N- C.; Hoboken, N. J.; Lake Charles, La., and South Bend, Ind. Thomas said that the Garland-TAMU arrangement was the only one in the nation where the participating university wasn’t in the city it aids. A full-time, permanent staff of employees will represent TAMU in “... a full-time interface with the city.” The program head in Garland will be Dale Burton who directs the Dallas office of the Center for Urban programs. A policy board of seven, four from Garland and three from TAMU, will direct observatory programs. Applications now accepted The Texas City Management Association is now accepting applications for the 1975-76 Clarence E. Ridley Scholarship Honor Grant. Each year TCMA awards a grant (or grants) to a graduate student pursuing a course in study in a certified Texas college or university which leads to a career in urban management. The grant includes $2,000 to the recipient and $500 to the graduate program of the school in which he enrolls. The latter must be applied to an urban management project developed by the graduate program director and approved by TCMA. Application forms and information are available from TCMA, 1020 Southwest Tower, Austin, Texas 78701. Deadline for receiving applica tions is March 1. 1975.

The Department of Health and Physical Education is offering a two hour activity course specially designed for the overweight co-ed. Only those with a definite weight problem will be permitted to enroll in the class. In addition to this activity class, Health and Physical is offering a one hour diet control class which will meet only one hour weekly. Those who take the 10:00 Monday-Wednesday-Friday activity class will also take the one hour diet class. Those who take the 2:00 Monday- Wednesday-Friday activity class will have activity only. One of the diet sections will be for those who wish only to diet without an activity class. The schedule is designed to provide an opportunity for co-eds interested in weight control to learn about it and earn credit while they lose weight. Enrollment in the combined activity and diet class includes one hour of required physical education (P.E. 101, 102, 201, 202); one hour of elective physical education (301, 302, 485); and one hour of elective health education (H.E. 485). Those who take the activity only will receive one hour of required and one hour of elective physical education. Those who take the diet class only will enroll in one hour of elective health education. Additional information may be obtained by contacting Martha Merrell in the Human Performance Lab in G.
