WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29, 1978
T. Jones
Tony Jones, 31, 1905 Comal,
owner of Tony Jones Construction.
Are you in favor of the continued
requirement of a conditional use
permit for fraternities and
sororities to build their own house?
The only types of construction that
do not require the conditional use
permit at this time are the single
family residences and duplexes. I
would be open to discussion of con
sideration of alternate methods in
these areas.
What roles should students of
-* Texas A&M University play in city
government?
All registered voters of the age of
18 and over have equal rights and
responsibilities in city government.
Are you in favor of allowing the
city to expand in an eastward direc
tion even though that area lies in a
flood plain?
I assume that you are referring to
the recently annexed property lo
cated on the east side of the by-pass.
The flood plain property that was in
cluded within that annexation was
intended to control and limit any and
all construction within those flood
plain areas to eliminate any type of
blockage or restrictions that would
cause a water back-up within the city
^Thermodynamics revised
r The sixth edition of a ther
modynamics textbook used at Texas
A&M University for more than 40
years has been released by MacMil
lan Publishing Co.
f Revisions were done by Clifford
M. Simmang, a former Texas A&M
mechanical engineering professor.
“Thermodynamics” was first pub
lished in 1935, and was based on
materials prepared for Texas A&M
courses by the late Dr. Virgil M.
Faires. Contributing to subsequent
revisions and a second volume,

(Continued from page 5)
I am in favor of us trying to get a
versal in the participation of state
oney and local money. And the
ay I understand it, we have the
majority of the burden right now.
And if your evaluations were prop-
rly placed, and you do whatever
ieeds doing, you can reverse this
dhave the state having the major
ity of the burden, which I think
yould be real good because a lot of
other school districts are doing this.
In fact, I think 75 percent of them in
the state are doing this, and I don’t
know why we shouldn’t be doing the
same thing. Either we’re spending
too much money, or we’re not ap
plying for our appropriations prop
erly, one or the other. But they are
trying to just railroad some people
onto the school board to achieve
their specific purposes, which I
don’t think is proper.

“Problems on Thermodynamics,”
were Alexander Van Brewer and
Simmang.
The Faires-Simmang “Ther
modynamics” was considered the
best thermodynamics textbook for
the last 20 years. It has been used
more than all other texts on the sub
ject combined.

i
itself. All other properties are capa
ble of being developed.
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 think the ward system could be
improved with a possibility of having
a couple of at large positions instead
of six wards.
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 five to ten
years?
Apartments are not built just to
house the students, but to facilitate
the growth of the city. At the present
time, the City and University have
possibly reached a leveling point as
far as growth, and the apartments
should only complement the needs
of the people.
Do you think College Station
needs a property tax increase?
Would you consider construction
of more recreational facilities?
These questions can possibly be
answered together. Parks and recre
ational facilities are included within
the proposed bond election of 1978

and were in the bond election of
1976. These facilities are to benefit
all citizens of our community, and to
have this benefit, some expenses are
going to be incurred.
Do you see any problems with the
current zoning code? Would you
consider new areas for construc
tion?
A strict control of zoning must be
maintained to secure and preserve
personal privacy and safety along
with the regulation of a good traflic
flow, and to create a livable commu
nity for the future.
