Are you in favor of the continued
requirement of a conditional use
permit for fraternities and
sororities to build their own houses?
Yes. For the simple reason I wrote
the conditional use permit system.
Unitl I filed for office I was a consult
ant to the city of College Station. I
wrote it because we don’t have a
situation here that supports a frater
nity or sorority as such. I wish we had
the kind of university support and
economic environment that woidd
permit us to have a sorority and
fraternity row. But when you don’t
have an environment that supports a
fraternity row, what you get is the
sporadic intermixture of fraternity
and sorority houses in pre
dominantly single-family residential
areas. I think it’s only reasonable to
expect that families living in single
family housing have some degree of
protection from what would be
categorized as a multi-family kind of
housing, namely a fraternity or soror
ity house.
The conditional use permit is sort
of a guarantee that the people in that
area will have some voic6 as to what
is or is not placed in their neighbor
hood. I never drafted the conditional
use plan with the idea of slapping the
fraternities or sororities. Believe me,
I support them whole-heartedly.

Texas A&M play in city govern
ment?
They should play the role that is
commensurate with their level of
interest. That is, if they are really
that interested in local issues, then
they should play a very vital role. I
don’t see anything wrong with that.
I’m not of the opinion that we should
be scared to death of students at
A&M taking over College Station. In
fact, I think there is a certain degree
of a healthy situation because we
have a lack of interest in local issues
on the part of many of the students. If
we could channel some of the youth-
fid vitality of students in the direc
tion of city hall, things woidd go well
for all of us.
Are you in favor of allowing the
city to expand in an eastward direc
tion even though that area lies in a
flood plain?
No. I think we should do every
thing we can to discourage develop
ment in flood-prone areas. I think we
need to concentrate on what we
have. We have large areas within
College Station proper which have
yet to be developed.
It’s an easy habit to get into think
ing growth is always good. I think
council members voted to annex the
eastern section because they wanted
control over it. I don’t see anything
wrong with that, but if we continue
an annexation policy just for the sake
of control, we could get ourselves in
a situation where we have extended
our physical limits to such a degree
that servicing the areas could place a
real financial burden on everybody.
Are you in favor of the ward sys
tem? If so, what merits does it have?
If not, what merits does the at-large
system have?
I don’t think it matters on way or
the other. College Station is not at
the growth level yet where it really
makes any difference whether we
use an at-large system or a ward sys
tem. You limit candidacy with a ward
system. The number of bright,
energetic, creative people that could
be running for a position on City
Council. If you open it up with the
at-large system, anybody who wants
to run can run regardless of where
they live within the city. That is the
.only argument in favor of the at-large
system.
I favor a neighborhood develop
ment system in College Station. We
ought to place added emphasis on
maintaining and improving the qual
ity, and organizing our neighbor
hoods. If the ward system is equated
with a neighborhood system, then I
favor the ward system. The present
system could not be called a
neighborhood system. There has
never been any attempt by the City-
Council to determine what the
neighborhoods in College Station
are.
Will you encourage further build
ing of apartment complexes for stu
dents and how do you think this will
affect the city in the next 5-10 years?
I would discourage the addition of
more apartments until it could he
shown that we are definitely going to
continue on the upper growth level.
This year A&M’s growth level drop
ped. I don’t want the city to end up
with a great surplus of apartment
houses that become partially empty.
As a residt of the high vacancy rate,
maintenance begins to go down. We
need to be very careful as to what we
can support in the future. The crisis
in housing we were facing a year or so
ago is over.
Do you think College Station
needs a property tax increase?
Probably not. Before we do any
increasing of taxes, I think we need
to look at what we are spending our
money for and the types of policies
we have in reference to our expendi
tures. If we do that, we can find, to
some degree, we are wasting money
that can be spent in more productive
places.
Do you see any problems with the
current zoning code? Would you
consider new areas for construc
tion?

Armadillo entry wins first

When Ann Gradwohl came to
Texas A&M University two years ago
she had never seen an armadillo.
Now she’s $100 richer because of
The sophomore marketing major
from Lincoln, Neb., recently won a
costume design contest sponsored
by a local restaurant searching for an
original Texas animal to represent
-■them. She came up with the idea of
using an armadillo.
Gradwohl heard about the contest
through a history of costumes course
she is currently taking as an elective
at Texas A&M.
“When you’re not from here, ar
madillos just represent Texas to
you," she said. “Since 1 had only
heard of armadillos, but never really
seen one, I really had to research the
critter to get my design right.
“The first time I saw an armadillo I
didn’t realize what it was and called it
an aardvark,’’ the brown-haired
sophomore admitted. “But, I know
one when I see one now.
In her layout, the creature she
calls “Marshall Dillo” is dressed in a
hat, vest and boots. But he doesn’t
pack a shooting iron.
