Hensel Park is going to be another

ibert L, Melcher, chairman of the
sel Park Committee,
ae committee, which has been
[ting since the end of October, is
loping a plan to improve the
hered recreational facility for
selby University students, faculty
nd staff. The Hensel Park Commit-
PRlNCIffii! eeconsists of eight members of the
OFFICE kuhy and staff and four students,
jhe goal of the committee is to
|mize carrying capacity of the
and minimize the environmen-
[mpact to the site,
spite considerable use, Hensel

any years. Vandalism is preva-
supervision and management
facilities haphazardly designed
|hout sensitivity to the natural
scape, and overall appearance of

based on the research phase of
committee.
he committee is utilizing per-
ael of the University with work-
knowledge in design planning as
1 as students whose majors are in
fields of Recreation and Parks,
dscape Architecture, and En-
nmental Design. Various plans
he park have been submitted to
committee. These plans, as well
iture proposals, will be studied
he committee and ideas will be
[lized by the end of June,
inancial planning for the project
Iso a major consideration of the
hers.
elcher said that he hopes to get
ncial support from A&M clubs
ughout the state and also from
lent organizations. He said that
priority for use of Hensel Park
be given to students and their
ilies. Therefore', A&M clubs
Id be assured that their invest-
t would benefit students first,
University community second,
the public last.
delcher added, “Money doesn’t
fy me at all. If we get a good plan,
get the money.”
efinite plans have been made to
21st Student Conference on National
Affairs.
Grey, former chairman of the Afri
can and Middle Eastern Headquar
ters of ITT, spoke on the subject of
global corporations as world powers.
Attending the three-day confer
ence are 132 delegates and round
table chairmen from 13 high schools
and 45 universities. The theme of
this year’s conference is ‘Global
Power in Transition’.
Aside from listening to feature
speakers, the delegates are par
ticipating in six round-table discus
sions. During these discussions, to
pics relevant to the conference .
theme are presented.
The first of five feature speakers,
Grey dealt largely with the effects
and dealings of multi-national corpo
rations within the third world (un
derdeveloped nations). Grey said
that because of their poor economic
situations, third-world countries en
courage multi-national corporations
to establish plants in their countries.
He also said that the host country
often stipulates the number of work
ers to be employed and what their
pay siales will be. They also dictate
what percentage of the operation
will be locally owned.
The returns on the investments in
foreign companies are about 10 per
cent, said Grey. “So, it cannot be
said these countries are being
exploited.”
Grey said that over 3 million
people in third-world countries are
employed by multi-nationals annu
ally. For each of those, seven service
people provide support in farming
banking and other trades, he said.
In the last three years, 20,000
businesses have been started by per
sons trained by the corporations.
The global corporation is adding
value to the country by developing
its products and providing jobs at an
expense that the host country could
never afford, he said.
Considering the host’s restrictions
and the limited profit by the multi
national, Grey said, “The global cor
poration does not today have power
over these nations or over the people
of the third world.
“The American global corporation
has been our greatest ambassador,”
he said. With the end of gun-boat
diplomacy, the multi-nationals must
take the full load of ambassador
duties.

Last Sunday night or Monday
morning the sound of hissing in the
dark meant flat tires for Dunn and
Aston residents’ cars.
The incident was caused by civi
lians parking in what corps seniors
consider their lot, said Joe Chandler,
corps commander. The lot is located
south of Aston Hall.
At the beginning of the fall semes
ter, Chandler and two residence hall
presidents, William Carpenter of
Dunn and Steve Allaire of Aston,
discussed the parking situation.
The problem stemmed from
widening Coke Street, Allaire said.
A number of senior corps parking
spaces were destroyed.
The civilians agreed to turn lot
number 23 into a completely corps
lot while they would take the first
four rows of parking beyond the girl’s
area in lot 24, south of Krueger-
Mosher.
The corps strictly enforced the
gentleman’s agreement with rams
(demerits), said Chandler. He added
that the civilians had no way of en
forcing the agreement.
Members of the corps gave cars in
violation “tickets” that read, “Get
the car out of the lot, civilian, or air
will be let out of your tires.
In the meantime, Corps members
were parking in rows designated for
civilians. Those reported sat
weekends, the punishment resulting
from ram collections. Those getting
away with the offenses were few, said
Allaire.
Upon the completion of work on
Coke street, the senior parking
places became available at the start
of the spring semester.
The residence hall presidents un
derstood that the fall agreement
would end with completion of Coke
street. f
The presidents told residents that
Lot 23 was open to upperclassmen
from their residence halls.
The corps thought that all 152
parking places in Lot 23 were still
theirs after Christmas vacation.
Both Chandler and the presidents
said it was all a misunderstanding
due to a lack of communication.
As the situation progressed, more
and more civilians received “corps”
tickets. Corps members, not being
able to park in Lot 23, began parking
in the civilian lot. Lot 24.
Chandler said that corps seniors
became increasingly angry and that
some of them apparently carried out
their threat of letting the air out of
the tires.
Flat tires were counted on 44
civilian-owned cars. Some of the cars
had all four tires flattened. However,
Chandler said his reports indicated
that the number of cars with flat tires
was closer to 53.
At this point the dormitory presi
dents, Chandler and the area coor
dinators decided to meet and discuss
the situation.
At the Tuesday afternoon meeting
it was decided that the group should
meet again Wednesday to finalize an
agreement.
At the Wednesday meeting a
document containing several con
cessions was signed. The consessions
were:
• Male civilian upperclassmen
would park in the four northernmost
rows of lot 23.
• Corps seniors would park in the
southernmost four rows of lot 23.
• Corps seniors overflowing from lot
23 will park in the first four rows
behind the women’s parking area in
lot 24.
The new parking system will be
enforced by the campus police.
