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.

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?

BOOKMART
Due to the overwhelming success &
popularity the TAMU bookmart is here to
stay. If you’ve not heard of the bookmart
we apologize for the little bit of publicity
that we have had. We are a non profit
organization sponsored by student govern
ment to bring students the best possible
price for their used books. We operate on
a consignment basis meaning that you
can bring in any type or amount of books
that you have. Name your own price and
when the book sells we pay you cash.
We recommend that you sell your books
at 60-65% of retail. The book mart adds
on 25c to your price per book and uses
this to cover its expenses. Anything left
over goes to student government to use in
student projects. Book mart is set up as a
service to the students to get the best
possible price you can for your books.
