THE BATTALION Page 5 FRIDAY, MAY 5, 1978 Leaky water main sinks street, car United Press International HOUSTON — Kenneth Goode’s drive home from work was interrupted suddenly when his car dropped through the pavement into a 15-foot-deep pool of slush. City officials Thursday blamed a leaky water line for the collapse. “My car just fell in,” said Goode, 21, a postal worker. “I climbed out of a window and jumped onto the hood of my car and back onto the street. Then my car went completely under.’’ Goode had been on his way home from work about 3 a.m. Wednesday when the sinking oc curred. Later a wrecker man aged to pull the car from the hole. After Goode’s car was re moved, workers began repairing the hole which stretched across both lanes of the street and into the front yard of a home.

Cars Painting OTOR INC. rice Since - 823-8111! Of By MARGIE KOVAR The best-kept secret in Col- je Station has to be plans for the w enclosed shopping mall to be ocated at the southwest corner of |e intersection of Highway 30 and Ije east bypass. John Martin, public relations di- ctor for Aden Shopping Centers 3. of Chattanooga, Tenn., said it is company’s policy not to release iy information about its malls he re all plans are made final. But Bucky Wolford, company mmer vice president, recently told the US. 3 pilP^ e 8 e Station Planning and Zon- ( e g C n ing Commission that the mall s ten- ffiive opening date is the spring of 1981. However, he would not give the names of the four major depart- ment stores or 81 smaller businesses IING ithat will open in the mall. TION A local realtor said it is common practice for development firms like jppOll Aden not to release the names of jrOCeSS’Prospective leasers. Stores usually hesitate to make public commit- inents to move in until the mall is completed. This way they are not committed to lease if they later choose not to. Wolford also said the multimillion dollar project will be approximately three times larger than Manor East Mall in Bryan. A 101.19 acre site for the mall has been approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The design, decor and name for the structure have not been de cided, but Wolford said the design would be similar to that of other large malls in Texas. Martin said his office had not au thorized the release of any state ments like those made by Wolford, and declined to comment on any of the plans. To add to the mystery, the Bryan-College station Chambers of Commerce have no information on the new mall besides what has ap peared in local newspapers. Brazos County’s projected popu lation figure for 1981 is approxi mately 150,000. With the opening of the new mall county residents will no longer have to travel to Dal las or Houston to shop at some major department stores. But if anyone knows anything about this structure that many have hoped for they certainly are not around here. The company in Tennessee that is building the mall is not telling any one. Is this mall for real? THE BATT DOES IT DAILY Monday through Friday BOOKMART Due to the overwhelming success & popularity the TAMU bookmart is here to stay.
