IDE OF nit an 0 ;ht bad wtime at the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Brazos County Sheriffs Department. The UP has a 41-member force, headed by Chief O. L. Luther and Assistant Chief Morris Maddox. This includes 26 uniformed patrolmen, two patrolwomen, six supervisors, four investigators and three sec retaries. Chief Luther, who has been in charge of the force for four years, is a former Texas Ranger who spent almost 30 years with the Department of Public Safety in Brazos County? Luther said the UP is getting higher quality people than before and the turn-over rate has been re duced. He said a thorough background check is done on all prospective officers, including psychological testing. Within six months after an officer joins the force, he is expected to complete 240 hours of basic police training. Luther said that six officers are part-time students completing a two-year program in law enforcement at Blinn College. Luther said violators are treated according to their circumstances, not collectively.

Luther said he does not consider such persons clever enough to be true criminals. — Linda Plaeke City requests Monaco Apts, to share costs The College Station City Council voted last night to ask the owners of Monaco Apartments to share in the costs of replacing a bridge on Red mond Drive. The apartments have had continu ing problems with flooding. En gineering studies have determined the bridge is too small to withstand large runoffs. The resulting overflow is flooding the apartments. Chalon Jones, an attorney for the apartment owner, said he feels the city should alleviate the problem since the city built the inadequate bridge. City engineer Elrey Ash said there are three options to the problem. These are: leave it as is, replace the bridge with one adequate enough to carry heavy rains, or remove the bridge and have a vehicle tur naround (cul-de-sac) on Redmond Drive. The cul-de-sac plan would cost $5,000, while a new bridge is esti mated to cost $30,000. Ash said a major disadvantage of the cul-de-sac is that it would double the traffic congestion at Redmond and Texas Avenue. Councilman Larry Bravenec said the bridge was there before the apartments were built. Since the builders knew the land was in a flood plain Bravenec said he felt the city was not completely responsible. He proposed that the apartment owner and city share the costs of a new bridge, 50-50. The owner’s attorney said he would pass the offer on to the owner. The council also approved the placement of no-left-turn signs near the intersection of Jersey Street and Texas Avenue. Two breakaway signs will be placed on the Jersey Street median approaching Texas Avenue. Two others will be placed at the Jer sey Street exits from Redmond Ter race Shopping Center. The action was taken because of the danger posed to children travel ing to and from the A&M Consoli dated Middle School. The council indicated that if the signs are not effective, then a raised median will be constructed in Jersey Street. The council also adopted an ordi nance calling for a general municipal election on April 3. A resolution au thorizing joint election procedures with A&M Consolidated School Dis trict was also adopted. — Jerry Needham Consol bond issue recommendations to come Monday The A&M Consolidated School Board will meet Monday night to hear recommendations concerning a possible bond election. The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. in the board room of the Special Ser vices Building, 1300 Jersey St. The Citizens Advisory Committee and the College Station Education Association (CSEA) will advise the hoard on district needs for school space. The advisory committee was ap pointed by the board to investigate the facilities needed and their cost. CSEA will report on what the teachers feel are the district’s build ing needs. The board also will discuss the possibility of joint election of board trustees and College Station city councilmen Aprils. The Coljege Sta tion City Council tentatively ap proved the joint elections last night. Aggieland annals record triumphs Today is Feb. 17, 1976, the 30th day of the spring semester. There are 81 days until Final Review, 87 until the last final exam. On this date in 1964, 19-year old Randy Matson shattered the indoor world shot put record held by Gary Gubnerof New York University with a put of 65 feet, 8-1/4 inches at the Will Rogers Indoor Games in Ft. Worth. The Aggie sophomore then bettered his own record with a put of 66 feet, 2-1/4 inches. On this date in 1924, the head quarters of the 8th Reserve Officer Training Corps in Galveston an nounced that the enrollment in the ROTC program at Texas A&M was the highest in the country, ahead of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. New academic policy Corps cracks down By MARY ALICE WOODHAMS A scholastic policy designed by corps ^taff to improve grade point ratios ih the corps has come into ef fect this semester. Although 11 per cent of the corps made above, a 3.25 last semester, 31 per cent made below a 2.0, said Robert Harvey, corps scholastic Sergeant. The scholastic policy consists of enforced quiet hours, limiting free evenings for cadets not meeting cer tain grade requirements, and reg ulating corps meeting times. Call-to-quarters (CQ), is a desig nated three-hour study period bet ween 7:15 and 10 p.m. At this time all freshmen and sophomores must be in their rooms studying. Corps-related activities end at 7:15 and may resume after 10 p.m. Other quiet hours are from 8 to 11 Worshipping God is only the start of something great. a.m. and 1 to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 7 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. Sunday through Thursday. During call-to-quarters, a junior is responsible for recording free nights out and checking on underclassmen. In order to avoid being disturbed by juniors opening their doors two or three times a night, underclassmen are allowed to place a shoe between the door and the doorpost to permit people to enter and leave with minimum disturbance. Juniors in charge of call-to- quarters sit at lighted desks in the dark hallways to insure quiet, sign passes and enforce the new rules. End doors of dorms are locked dur ing call-to-quarters to minimize hall traffic, and hall monitors are not re quired to speak to anyone. There is no mandatory C.Q. for underclassmen earning a 3.25 or bet ter last semester. “We had to study all the time. They were constantly watching us, said one freshman who was a Distin guished Student last semester. “Now that I don’t have mandatory call-to-quafters I don’t feel re stricted. ” “They are constantly on us about our grades, asking us questions about them,” he said of his up perclassmen. “Every Sunday we post a list of our weekly tests.” Sophomores earning at least a 3.25 are also not required to observe C. Q., and only freshmen with a 2.25 or better get an evening out. Individual Corps units may mod ify the policy for grade requirements and extending C.Q., but only with the approval of the corps staff. Dewey Bolton, commanding of ficer of Company W-l, explained his philosophy behind pressure on academics like this: “One commanding officer told his freshman at 2 a.m. as they were sneaking off to Bonfire, ‘When you go looking for a job, they’re not going to ask you how many logs you put on the Bonfire, but they might ask you what your GPR was. ” Mon, Thurs, Fri 10:00-8:30 Tues, Wed, Sat. 10:00-6:00 A Public Service of This Newspaper & The Advertising Council COLTICII Gome RENAISSANCE GALLERY First Anniversary Sale 20% OFF Excellent Valentine’s Day Gifts!
