The newsstand ns built in front of Sbisa Dining in the late 1920’s, demolition of the small building part of the A&M contract for scaping the north dormitory Gen.

Ye asked the contractor to put a olo on destroying it to see if some Ujfccould he found for the building,” H viH airl ity, roofing and windows all required repair. University officials did not request an estimate on renovation costs for the building. Simpson speculated that repairs would require several thousand dollars. A&M built the structure about 1928, Simpson said, as a student-run newsstand. Simpson said when he came to A&M as a student in 1932 the stand had already been in operation for some years. The University awarded the news stand concession to two students each year. Those students received any revenue from the stand for per sonal use. “I recall that it was then a very lucrative job,” Simpson said. “Those guys lucky enough to get the stand could usually make enough to pay their way through school.” The newsstand was an important source of information on campus at that time. Sbisa was the only dining hall at A&M and students on their way to meals generally stopped to buy newspapers and magazines from the newsstand. “The stand lost its significance when Duncan Hall and later the Commons were opened,” Simpson said. The beginning of newspaper delivery to students rooms likewise hurt the stand, he said. The stand was used for storage for some years and recently as a polling place for student elections. Students, faculty and staff are being invited to work as police at the discretion of the University chief of police. The initial group of 30 members will be called the Auxiliary Force of Texas A&M. They will be chosen by a Board of Control composed of four students, three University staff members and two University police officers. To qualify, the applicant must not be on scholastic or conduct proba tion, must have a current class “D” FCC operator’s license and be pres ently enrolled or employed at the University. The group is an outgrowth of stu dents who used Citizen Band radios to guard the campus during the siege of paint splattering before the Baylor football game in the fall. A group of six students ap proached Ron Blatchley, proposing that a protection organization be structured around communication on CB radios. Blatchley said that several others have approached him over the past two months with simi lar requests. The stated purpose of the organi zation is to assist the police with crowd and traffic control, providing directions with use of CB radios, re porting vandalism, theft and other criminal activity and developing a liaison between students and the campus police. The Auxiliary Force has filed for recognition with the director of stu dent activities. They have written a constitution but have not chosen a sponsor, which is necessary to estab lish recognition. Blatchley is han dling the groundwork. UNIVERSITY SQUARE SHOPPING CENTER 846-6714 & 846-1151 too, ms Color by Deluxe' lll'fll PAYS] Times of ADAMSiG RfllASEI) BY MIN <■ l *V>I( Pltn.RISc l')-4 ^ Pr.
