The meeting, held in City Hall, was the third of four meetings held by the city to determine community needs in accordance with the Com munity Development Block Grant Program. The block grant is part of the Housing and Community De velopment Act of 1974 which con solidates all of the existing commun ity development programs of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Under this program, College Sta tion has been allotted $71,000 for 1975 to improve urgent needs of low income areas.

Wear it for 10 days and if you’re not showered with compliments, we’ll happily refund your money. call 846-5764 for appointment ings, said the areas which could be nefit from the program include the Lincoln-Tarrow street area, Richards and Sterling streets neighborhood, the Kapchinskie subdivision on Park Place and the area near Lincoln Center, South land Street and the McCulloch sub division off Holleman Drive. Thelman Harris, chairman of the Richards-Sterling area committee, and two other men chosen to rep resent the area, Curley Green and Sam Ford, will go to the first public hearing on the matter Feb. 3 along with representatives of the other neighborhoods to voice their prob lems. “We can’t go through ahother winter with conditions like this,’’said Green, who explained that water drains off the newly raised Highway 6 and floods the streets and yards in his area.

An old discarded cannon has been turned into a morale-builder by two Corps of Cadets units. Once probably used for cadet training in field maneuvers, the 73-year-old field piece now “guards’’ the assembly area of Com panies B-l and C-l. “Battlin’ B” and “Cobra C, latter commanded by Mike Jaska of Robinson, plan to return the three- inch artillery piece as near as possi ble to its former condition. But it will never fire. “The bore is plugged two feet into the muzzle,’’ explained Robinson. And the breech mechanism is welded shut. The gun’s olive drab paint is cracked and peeling. Iron- handed wooden wheels are shim med onto the axle with wooden wedges. Correcting all those deficiencies may take a while, Jaska says, but they are working on it. One junior, taking an agricultural engineering course in preparation, will have charge of sand-blasting and repainting the weapon. Another member of the Class of '76 has the project of finding hubs for the wheels. They would also like to find some wheel bearings, but may do without. Jaska, a Ranger and Airborne- qualified senior recently selected for a Regular Army commission on graduation, said the project “just sort of grew” after the gun was found. It was discovered in a ravine near the TAMU campus while cadets were searching for Aggie Bonfire construction material last November. iffH L mm ! • Symphony visits locally vl The San Antonio Symphony di rected by Dr. Victor Alessandro will perform three concerts for students during Tuesday and Wednesday in the Rudder Center Auditorium.
