I move at my own speed, he said. I make my own decisions, my ow n choices. I .have my own set of \ allies and priorities. 1 don t have to make excuses for anybocb else s. Ehrlichman, domestic affairs advisor for President Richard Nixon before being ousted in 1973 during the Watergate scan dals, moved to Santa Fe in 1975. He returned to the city earlier this year after spending 1<S months in federal prison for his \\ atergate-related convictions. As a White House aide, Ehrlichman said he 'was a very uptight individual and I'm sure not very pleasant to be around a lot of the time. He said he was preparing to write memoirs of his years with Nixon, awaiting publication of his second novel, working on a magazine article about illegal aliens and will soon begin taping radio commentaries for the Mutual Radio Network. be, there are definitely more stu dents registering their bikes. He said in the past, fewer than half of the bicycles on campus were regis tered. The purpose of the registration. Parsons said, is to help police iden tify lost or stolen bicycles so they can locate the owners. Parsons said about 100 bicycles were picked up by University police last December while students were on vacation. Of these, approximately one-third were registered, he said. Letters were sent to the owners of the regis tered bikes. Parsons said about one-third of the owners recovered their bicycles. He added there is lit tle chance of return to the owner for an unregistered bike. Until this year, registration was required and cost $1.50. The long lines and inconvenience involved in registering bikes at the police sta tion probably discouraged some students from getting a permit. Par sons said. Another possible reason for not registering bikes. Parsons said, was that some students felt a registered bike would be more likely to get a ticket than one without a permit. "If there were no permit, it would be unlikely for an officer to wait until the offender appeared to issue the citation. Parsons said. Although authorized by the Texas A&M Bicycle Traffic and Parking Regulations to "impound any bicy cle operated or parked in violation of the regulations, Parsons said his department does not attempt to catch every offender. “We are not in the business of chasing violators, he said. The money collected from regis tration fees was used mainly for the. construction of bicycle parking areas. Parsons said he did not expect the income loss to be made up by issuing more tickets. "The money would have to come from some other source,” Parsons said. Parsons encourages cyclists to avoid blocking ramps or sidewalks w ith their bikes. He also stressed the importance of locking bikes to racks around campus.
