At Hensel Park, a boat isn’t needed for a picnic today, but one would have been needed about 40 years ago. Hensel Park, located on College Avenue, used to be a lake. After World War II, the lake, home for the Anopheles mosquitos (a carrier of malaria), was drained, Logan Wes ton, coordinator of the student YMCA association, said. Eddie Dominguez '66 Joe Arciniega '74 Greg Price The “Y” cleaned up the area and put in picnic tables. In 1958 Gordan Gay, former sec retary of the “Y, ” worked on increas ing park facilities, Weston said, so that students would have a place to go that was close to campus for their outdoor activities. When Bryan-College Station al lowed the sell of alcoholic bever ages, beer busts increased at the park. “Two shacks were moved out to the park for a club house, now called Cashion Cabin, to supply a place for parties to be held,” Weston said. The “Y” didn’t want family activities to be disrupted because of the beer busts, he added. Vandals hit the park and all the money that was saved for park im provements had to be used for re pairs, Weston said. In 1972 a new barbecue pit was built at the park. The “Y” had cook- outs for any student organizations during the week and on weekends. In 1973, 19,000 plates were served, Weston said. As prices rose, the cookouts were put on only at the request of student organizations. The student “Y” organization and the resident housing advisors for the dorms on campus are two of the groups that have cookouts at the park.

Utilities were furnished, carpet in the bedrooms and linoleum in the bath and kitchen were laid, and paneling was put up. Weston said that he worked on the cabin himself. He said that the pro ject cost about $1,300. Male students live in the cabin and take care of the park in exchange for free rent (including utilities). Weston said vandalism has been cut down since someone has been living in the cabin. Dr. 'Reed and Robert Melcher, vice-president for student services, are working on a park planning prog ram, Weston said. Present park facilities will be improved. Nature trails will be built in the wooded area north of the white dome. The hor ticulture department of A&M will put signs up to identify certain plants. Water fountains will be put in all over the park. New restrooms have already been built. There are plans to expand the park almost three times its present size. A small lake, a children play area and park ing area are planned. On April 24, the APO college chapter of former boy scouts will clean picnic tables. The freshman class, as a class project, will pick up trash in preparation for this sum mer’s picnics and campouts. A park is under construction in Bryan, Jay Williams, director of Parks and Recreation in Bryan, said. The park is located six miles north west of Bryan on Sandy Point Road. It will be about 225 acres. It is under a 4-5 year development plan. AFL-CIO honors former Israeli head WASHINGTON (AP)-L. Former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir was named winner of the AFL-CIO’s annual Murray-Green Award for public service. Mrs. Meir, a former Milwaukee school teacher whose father was a member of the carpenters union, is a member of Histadrut, Israel’s labor federation. — FROM THE FRONT PAGE — Pay phone tolls to rise 150% Continued from Page I certain group of telephones, Erwin said. “We don’t have one switch for each tele phone — no company could afford to pro vide that kind of service.’ When all the switches are in use, the next person to call will get a busy signal. The 693 extension is basically a new ex change handling calls around campus and College Station. It has heavier traffic be cause more university people are at home at night to use it, Erwin said. “This is not an overall problem because we study this equipment to make sure we’ve got adequate switches. It’s like being in a grocery store. You can t expect to have one aisle with a checker for each person. You have to wait in line, Erwin said. GTE has more 693 switches than any other extension, Erwin said. He did not have the exact figures. He doesn’t look for any increase in switches until studies show they are needed. Rig collapses, twelve killed Continued from page 1 fore a diver could swim underneath long enough to discover the hatch of that cap sule was open and there was water inside. The bodies were discovered still later. A Coast Guard spokesman said the cap tain of the Ocean Express, who was not identified, stayed behind to cut the two capsules of crewmen free from the rig. They said a helicopter plucked the captain to safety moments before the platform went to the bottom. He was taken to a naval medical center here. Arrangements were made for his crew to go ashore at other points. Lunsford to speak on Mayan civilizatioi of mmk fw ^2&-»*SfcA CJOlo>S ' f X.
