Once a mosquito’s haven,
Hensel Park’s hone dry now
By KAREN SMITH
Who ever thought that one could
have a picnic in the middle of a lake
without a boat?
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.

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.

the park was rebuilt. 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.

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

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.
