NCAA plans new setup

Battalion Sports Editor
All nine members of the South
west Conference and North Texas
State University have been placed
into Division I of the National Col
legiate Athletic Association’s new
reclassification program.
The NCAA Classification Com
mittee, with the endorsement of the
Association’s Council, is proceeding
with a plan to structure the 467
football-playing members of the
NCAA into four divisions. The pro
gram was created primarily for pur
poses of competition and television
administration. The plan concerns
only football competition.
The plan also provides limited
legislative authority for the new di
visions.
The Classification Committee, au
thorized by the last NCAA Conven
tion to determine the “advisability”
of creating Divisions I (the Super
Division) and IA in the sport of foot
ball, recommended such a progran
to the NCAA Council last May 4.
The Council, meeting May 7 in
Chicago, agreed that the Committee
should proceed with its plan.
The Committee will make its final
classification decisions June 30 while
appeals may be heard by the NCAA
Council August 11-13. The results
will be subject to ratification at the
71st NCAA Convention Jan. 10-12,
1977.
Goldsmith places
17th at golf tourney
Texas A&M’s Brenda Goldsmith
finished a disappointing seventeenth
in the Association of Intercollegiate
Athletics for Women (AIAW) Na
tional Championship golf tourna
ment held in East Lansing, Mich.
The San Antonio junior’s 72 hole
score was 307, five strokes behind
the winner. Tulsa’s Nancy Lopez de
feated defending champion Barbara
Barrow of San Diego after four
playoflF holes. Furman took the team
title.
“She (Brenda) just couldn’t get it
together,” Women’s Golf Coach
Kitty Holley said. “Her putting was
not good and she had trouble staying
on the fairway.”
A&M teammate Susan Smerick
failed to make the qualifying cut at
the tourney.
“We had a good year for our first
year,” Holley said. “But, we ll have
some help this fall, so we should do
better.” The women’s coach is refer
ring to her recruiting ventures thus
far which she has termed as success
ful. The women’s team will have six
women on scholarship, this being
the first time they have been able
give out scholarships.
At present, the NCAA is divided
into Divisions I, II and III. The re
classification plan calls for the pre
sent Division I to be split into two
parts: Division I and Division IA.
Some members now in Division II
may move up into IA.
The two new divisions in football
will have legislative authority lim
ited solely to football, but the pre
sent controversial issue of financial
aid based on need would be outside
such authority.
For television purposes, the
Committee requests the Council
forward to the NCAA Television
Committee its recommendation that
Division IA be guaranteed two more
appearances than the minimum
number the members of that Divi
sion have received under each two-
year span of recent football televi
sion plans.

tricity by College Station. Bryan at the pre
sent time is asking for an increase of approx
imately 30 per cent.
City officials have estimated that College
Station residents woidd save $1,742,OCX)
during the coming year by switching over
to Gulf States. This figure is based on the
proposed Bryan rate compared to the pro
posed Gulf States rate.
The city has further projected that the
savings in electrical costs woidd allow the
retirement of the proposed electrical bonds
while still providing electricity at a lower
cost than under the Bryan system.
College Station City Councilman Gary
Halter, also chairman of the Capital Im
provements Committee, has estimated
that the switchover could be effected by
January 1979, when the present contract
with Bryan expires.
Halter said that if the electric bonds
pass, the city' would approach Bryan about
buying the electric substations which are
located in College Station.
Halter pointed out that even if the city
does not switch to Gulf States, either be
cause Bryan reverses itself and offers a
lower price or because the electric bonds
do not pass, the city will still have to make
approximately $1,000,000 in improve
ments to the present system.
The increase presently being sought by
Bryan will be disposed of after the bond
election is over. Whether the electric
bonds pass or fail, College Station residents
can still expect an increase in their electric
bills. But some councilmen have indicated
that they think electric costs to College
Station residents could be cut after a
switchover to Gulf States.
Proposition 9
Proposition 9 is a proposal to issue
$500,000 in revenue bonds, to be repaid
completely out of the hotel-motel tax reve
nues, to build a civic-convention center.
No property or other taxes or revenues will
be used to repay the bonds. The hotel-
motel tax is paid by people who rent rooms
in motels within the city.
“You can never get something for no
thing, but this comes as close as possible,”
said Lane Stephenson, College Station city
councilman.
No decision on the exact type of facility
or the location has been made. A citizens’
committee, chaired by Albert Pedullah, a
professor in the environmental design de
partment at Texas A&M, has sent ques
tionnaires to most local groups and organi
zations that would be likely to use the facil
ity. The purpose of the questionnaire is to'
determine what type of facility is needed.
Most of the questionnaires should be re
turned in a month or so, Pedullah said.
Officials of the Brazos Valley Arts Coun
cil and the A&M Consolidated Indepen
dent School District have expressed an
interest in combining efforts to provide a
multi-purpose facility that could be used
for school, cultural, civic and convention
purposes. The school officials have indi
cated that they would consider sharing part
of their facilities, principally the adminis
trative building and the band hall, at the
Middle School on Jersey St. for the center.
The proposed center will have no sleep
ing accommodations and is not intended to
compete with existing facilities at the Uni
versity or local hotels and motels, said
Stephenson. In order to avoid competition,
the center could charge higher rates than
those at hotels and motels; provide availa
bility primarily on an overflow basis; pro
vide special facilities not available at exist
ing centers; or a combination of the three.
College Station began collecting the
hotel-motel tax during the last quarter of
1973. Since then, a total of $108,656.76 has
been collected. There is, at present,
$17,323 in delinquent taxes not including
penalties owed to the city.
While the tax is not mandatory, any city
collecting it must, by law, spend l6 2/3 per
cent (one-sixth of the total) for direct tourist
promotion of the area. The remaining five-
sixths of the tax will be used to repay the
bonds to build the center.
