Doux Chene acquires new bus for residents.
ormer President to visit Capital
A London double-decker bus is
now taking some Texas A&M Uni
versity students to and from cam
pus.
The 25-year-old bus began serv
ing Doux Chene apartment resi
dents this week. The bus arrived
three weeks ago and the owners
painted and restored it with many of
its original markings.
Originally used in central Lon
don, it stopped at such places as
London Bridge, Picadilly Circus
and Bricklayers Arms.
Chuck Harty, owner of the com
pany who bought the bus, refused
to say how much the bus cost, but
said that to duplicate the bus would
cost about $20,000.
Harty Management Enterprises
bought the bus indirectly from
London. The company manages
several apartments in Texas.
Some of the more distinctive fea
tures of the bus are its solid brass
window frames and large grill. It
also has the original buzzer and bell
sytem which students can use to
signal the driver they want off.
“The only thing un-British are the
tires,” Harty said.
He said the bus has had problems
with its route because of A&M’s
treelined streets. The bus route was
changed to compensate for this.
He said that he plans to ask Uni
versity officials about trimming
some of the trees bordering the
streets.
Harty said the main reason for the
new bus is transportation for sum
mer school students.
He added that the bus can be
chartered for weekends.

NEW YORK — Former Presi-
lent Gerald R. Ford set aside time
Delay to talk with NBC executives
, 1 bout his lucrative broadcasting
* ontract before flying to Washing-
for a visit with President Carter
nd meetings with “think tank”
cholars.
Ford, whose activities since leav-
»g office have ranged from night
lubbing in Las Vegas to a foreign
ewsApid '°l' c y address in New York, has
nofiliA igned a contract to appear on one
BC ‘‘special’ a year for the next
ive years, and do several commen-
iries.
His wife, Betty, also agreed to
^ everal appearances. The two con-
te racts were reported to total almost
1,5 million.
Ford planned to spend three days
c« i Washington, the first time he has
eturned to the capital since leaving
ffice 63 days ago.
His schedule included a meeting
Baile > k ith President Carter late today, a
inner with old friends, sessions
dth GOP congressional leaders and
Botc.Jff" 10P National Chairman William
uey.VrM l ] roc l Ci an d a golf game.
SiMiI" But Forcl pl anne< i to spend the
ulk of his time in Washington at
be American Enterprise Institute,
Republican-oriented think tank
hose executive vice president is
Villiam Barody Jr., a former Ford
dviser.
Ford was named “distinguished
fellow” of the institute and staff
members have set aside a gold-
carpeted suite of offices for him.
One staff member said the view
from his office, facing the National
Geographic Building and a huge
American flag, is similar to “the
opening scene in Patton.”
During their three-day visit to
Washington, the Fords will stay in a
townhouse across the street from
the White House. The building,
called the Former Presidents’ Resi
dence, was set aside in 1969 for
former chief executives, and Ford is
the first to use it.
In New York yesterday. Ford
made his first foreign policy speech
since leaving office, saying the
Soviet Union is embarked on a mas
sive military buildup that threatens
chances for an arms agreement.

THE DEAN OF BEER'S QUICKIE QUIZ.
Q: A mini-brewery is:
a) Hidden in a basement somewhere in Greektown.
b) The result of trying to make Broken Toe, Idaho,
the beer capital of the world.
c) The right way to pretest beer ingredients.
d) Both (a) and (c).
A: (c) If you answered this question (a),
you obviously know something I don’t.
And you are in a lot of trouble.
Now, as for the correct answer.
Yes, Schlitz actually does have a mini-brewery
where they test-brew the ingredients that go into
Schlitz. And if they’re not right, they never go
into Schlitz.
Which is something to remember the next time
you’re going into your favorite place for a beer.
You know which one. THERE'S JUST ONE WORD
FOR BEER.
