Crawlq (Continued from pagejl Will you encourage furtl building of apartment compli for students and how do you this will affect the city in the 5-10 years? I think we are overgrowing, all, but some builders areoutiijrj quick profit and they’re not at building on a long range scale.| think we are over-apartmentisiri[| this area. There are so many apart, inents in College Station, that its new industry came to town, lli ( employees and their families would have to build houses outside of town. Do you think College Statioj needs a property tax increase? To meet services, we need a t® increase, and let’s face it, ingoing to be inevitable. Do you see any problems witfi the current zoning code? Would you consider new areas for con struction? No, not really. It’s sure a lot bet ter than Bryan that doesn’t have any zoning code. We need more industry in the city. College Station shouldn’t rely on its students for growth. We also need more land management. Let’s not grow until we know what were growing into. Would you consider construction of more recreational facilities? Yes. College Station needs a rec reational center for women’s groups and social gatherings. I The body: A&M tears lan Pi Rev M- Si ...Boughtoii (Continued from page I Very definitely I’m against ih rouk ward system. I don’t believe lk College Station is large enough9 diversified enough to warrant! ward system. It would be easierl! put people on the Council whoan well qualified and interested in! city as a whole, with the at largesii- tern. We are hoping to vote that si this election in April. They voted! ward system in two years ago aid ever since it has been onebigproh lem. It has been expensive for tk city, just to arrange for the ward sis tern. Will you encourage furtherbul ing of apartment complexes for slu dents and how do you think thiswl affect the city in the next S-lOjears: The university is thelife-bloodo the city, so if more apartments art needed they should be built. Thelasj survey showed that there were vacancies in the apartments in Bryan-CoIIege Station area. I that means beds, not 2000 totij apartments. I don’t believe there are more apartments neededa! this time. I’m afraid if they them and we don’t need them, M are going to have instant slums in tie next five to ten years. Do you think College Static! needs a property tax increase? Yes, very definitely. We havetlii!|; new bond proposal for the April first election. We need hinds for streel building improvements and parkacj quisition improvements, and tW only way we can get it is throughatai increase. |J Do you see any problems withtb | current zoning code? Would you | consider new areas for construe- ;£ tion? Yes, we need better procedures for rezoning large vacant areas in tlij city where present zoning could have undesirable impact on sure rounding residential areas. We need better protection of residential areas from commercial and apartment in trusion. They need to study the areas, more closely, and designate which are apartment areas, so that it does not intrude on the existing neighborhoods and single-family resl idential areas. This is something that has to have a lot of good planning, and studying to see whether the new areas are needed. We also need to continue to review and update the city’s comprehensive plan since zon ing should be based on that. The comprehensive plan is an overall plan to the whole city and it indicates what density the city wants built in the different areas. Would you consider construction of more recreational facilities? Yes, we need a favorable vote on the bond issue that is coming up in April. The bond proposal is for four parks and recreational facilities. The bond is for $1,800,000. This will in clude both acquisition and im provements to existing park lands. We need more neighborhood parks where we can have basketball, tennis and other facilities for the smaller neighborhoods. This Way the young sters won’t have to go as for to get to a park. I know the city, is consideringa new swimming pool for College Hills. Presently College Station has only one pool which is the Rice Creek swimming pool. The city has grown so rapidly, and we are defi nitely underdeveloped in the park mMlmtii c Bet c J6uf' SwQet %ungs Cigarettes are'JQIletst American Cancer Society^
