enough city staff members. The city
staff is very busy now.
Are you satisfied with Gulf
States, and how do you view the
current suit with Bryan?
That’s one area I will say I don’t
know too much about. I was new to
the council when they started inter
viewing Gulf States.
I am happy with the decision to
go to Gulf States. That’s about all I
can say on that.

this, to be independent in
utilities-water and sewage, but of
course we’re not going to have our
own municipal power plant.
We’ve made plans to obtain
power from Gulf States.
Why are you running?
A year ago I had some ideas and
was wondering why certain things
weren’t done. Now I’ve spent a year
on the council and have learned how
things operate and have learned
what I can do and what I can’t do. If I
didn’t run to stay on the council, I
felt that I would have wasted a year.
The year that I’ve had is valuable
experience.
What’s your feeling on the cur
rent ambulance situation?
I think the city-run ambulance
service was inevitable. The citizen
input that I’ve had has been highly
favorable of the city taking over the
ambulance. I think it’s a great ad
vantage to the citizens to have am
bulances located conveniently. We
can put requirements on the type of
personnel that must ride on the am
bulances. I think it will provide bet
ter emergency service.
What do you feel was not accom
plished in your last term that you
want to see come up?
I think we’ve started some pro
grams that we haven’t finished. The
capital improvements bond issue
was a major step and we need to see
those things through. My interests
are the park improvements that
were a part of the bond issue.
We’ve made some efforts to make
College Station a pleasant commu
nity. Id like to see all the citizens
get involved in improving College
Station.
How do you feel about running
unopposed?
It’s a whole lot easier than run
ning opposed. I was really surprised
that all three of us were unnop-
posed. I’ve always felt that it’s nice
to give voters a choice.
I think it’s a compliment to the
councilmen who are running. Evi
dently, people aren’t so dissatisfied
with us that there is an organized
effort to replace us.
What are your thoughts on the
efficiency and future of the ward
system?
I was not in favor of the ward sys
tem and still am not in favor of the
ward system as it is set up. It di
vides the city into too small an area.
The problems that are in the city
are not ward-type problems.
I would hate to see the council
get to the point where we argue,
“well, I’m not going to talk about
parking area until you get a park in
my ward.”

Yes, Chapter 27, wherein it says that Jose Cuervo is not only the
original, since 1795, supreme, premium, ultimate white tequila. But,
goes on to say that Jose Cuervo, as the ultimate, is also the ultimate
mixer.
As a true test, simply pick one from

I think part of the reason there
are not any more candidates in the
election is the confusion over the
ward system - what it really means
and who’s in what ward, and who’s
eligible to run.
What about controls on city
growth?
I’m highly in favor of control by
zoning and the improval of plats. I
think that people who are living in
an area have an interest in that area,
of course. There’s an obligation that
any development adjacent to or
within an already developed area be
in keeping with what’s there. As de
velopments come about we need to
know what the effect will be on
areas surrpunding in terms of city
services.
What do you think about the
progress in constructing sidewalks?
I’m in favor of sidewalks and
bikeways. There are a number of
people who walk in the evenings.
There are kids who walk or bike to
school and they just don’t mix with
vehicular traffic. It bothers me to
see them walking in the streets, but
there just isn’t anywhere else.
Are you safisfied with Gulf
States, and how do you view the
current suit with Bryan?
I’m satisfied with Gulf States. I
really don’t have too much to say
with the suit.

PLAIN TALK
FROM ARMCO ON
FINDING A JOB:
Why too much
regulation may
rule you out
How would you like to be forced to
get permission from 379 separate
Government agencies before you could
work? That’s what Armco has to do.
We think you could hear a similar story
from nearly any large company in
America—if the regulatory paperwork
leaves them any time to talk to you.
Excessive regulation threatens your
chance of getting a job.
Most of us agree that the goals
regulation seeks are important. Clean
air and water. Job safety. Equal rights
at work. The problem is the way
Government people now write and
apply specific rules to reach those
goals. Too often, the rules don’t really
do any good. They just tie companies
up in knots as they try to comply.
Federal regulations now take up a
twelve-foot shelf of textbook size
volumes printed in small type. 13,589
more pages were written last year
alone. And Washington is more than
matched by a growing army of state
and local regulators.
Nobody really knows how much
money regulation costs. Some say it’s
up to S40 billion a year. Companies
paying that bill can’t use that money
for jobs. A new job, on the average,
now costs a company S42,168 in capital
investment. (Armco’s own cost is
555,600.) At 542,168 per job, regulation
last year ate up the money which
could have created 948,000 new jobs.
No sensible American wants to
dismantle all Government regulation.
But we think the system has gone
berserk and the cost is out of control.
Free—Armco’s plain
talk on how to get
a job
We’ve got a free booklet to help you
get a job. Use it to set yourself apart,
above the crowd. We answer 50 key
questions you’ll need to know. Like
why you should bone up on companies
you like. What to do after the first
interview. Hints to make you a more
aggressive, attractive job candidate.
All prepared for Armco by a consult
ing firm specializing in business
recruiting, with help from the place
ment staff of a leading university.

Plain Talk About
REGULATION
Besides our 379 permits, Armco at last
count had to file periodic reports with
1,245 federal, state and local agencies.
What happens to Armco and other
companies isn’t that important. But
what happens to a company’s jobs is.
Here's a small example:
The Government requires companies
to give employees reports on their
benefit plans. Fair enough. But the
timing this year, plus the complexities
of Armco’s plans, didn't let us print a
report in our company magazine. In
stead, we had to mail them—200,000
in all—to each employee individually.
This didn't add one dime to Armco
people's benefits. But it’s cost us
5125,000 so far. That’s two jobs we
couldn't create, right there.
Next time anybody calls for a new
regulation, you might ask for some
sensible analysis of the costs and
benefits —including how many jobs
might be lost. One of those jobs could
be yours.
