Some complexes
still incomplete
By BECKY DOBSON
Battalion Reporter
Students loaded with all of
their belongings, including their
favorite teddies and the rest of
Mom’s leftovers, arrived at then-
new apartments last week to be
greeted by a partly constructed
housing frames and motel room
keys.
Unforeseen delays in the con
struction of three new
apartmemt complexes in the Col
lege Station area left approxi
mately 200 students homeless.
Courtyard, Timber Ridge and
Village Green apartments began
leasing their apartments last
spring. Construction was ex
pected to be finished by mid-
August.
Spokesmen for the Courtyard
and Timber Ridge complexes
gave the same reason for the de
lay: poor labor supervision and
lack of materials.
Richard Lanier, manager ol
Courtyard Apartments, said that
no one was leased an apartment
without being informed of the
possible inconvenience.
Village Green authorities de
clined to comment.
Mike Sh erman, a junior at
Texas A&M, is one of the dis
placed tenants at Village Green
Apartments. Sherman said that
the management was very
apologetic and accommodating.
A storage area was provided for
his furniture and motel expenses
are deducted from his rent.
Jeff Morris said he signed a
lease with Courtyard Apartments
in July. When he arrived a month
later, he was placed in a tempo
rary apartment. He will have to
move again this week when his
own apartment is completed.
Others leasing apartments at
Courtyard say they expect to
wait at least a month before they
are able to move in. They have
been provided motel rooms.
Some tenants at Timber Ridge
Apartments were not provided
storage space for furniture or
motel rooms. Many are living
with five or six to an apartment
until their units are complete.
Cherry Jordan, manager of
Timber Ridge said "All tenants
should be moved in by the end of
this week...hopefully ”.
Medical series
to "air at A&M
r
By DOUG GRAHAM
Battalion Stall
A new medical series will he on
the air, but it will not be Marcus
Welby on ABC.
It will be lectures and medical
demonstrations beamed on a mi
crowave network being built be
tween several Texas hospitals and
Texas A&M University in College
Station.
The network will connect Veter
ans Administration hospitals in Mar
lin and Waco, and the VA hospital
and Scott and White Clinics in
Temple with the College of
Medicine at Texas A&M.
The system is being built with
part of the $17 million the medical
school recieved through the VA
Medical School Assistance and
Health Manpower Act in 1976.
The system will be used for in
structional purposes, said Dr.
Robert Stone, Dean of the College
of Medicine. He indicated that a
link with these hospitals was impor
tant in supplying medical students
with more clinical experience. This
is important because there is no
University hospital being planned,
he said, and the facilities most
readily available to Texas A&M are
the previously mentioned hospitals.
Stone said students will attend
their first two years of medical
school at Texas A&M, but finish at
the hospitals in Waco, Temple, and
Marlin.
The network will help standardize
teaching and keep students in
touch, he said.
The color network will be com
pleted in about one year. A two-acre
piece of land in Milam County,
situated halfway between Temple
and College Station was donated by
John Culpepper of College Station.
The land contains a hill tin which a
relay tower will be built.
The importance of the relay tower
lies in the nature of microwave
communication. Microwaves are
line of sight broadcasts which can be
cut oft, just like beams of light can
be, by bui Id ings or intervening
hills. A hill was therefore needed for
the tower to allow wider transimis-
sion. Waves will be broadcast to the
tower which will bounce them to
College Station, avoiding lower
level interference.
When the broadcasts go on the
air, don’t expect to receive them on
your television sets. The frequency
of 1,000 megahertz, or roughly one
billion cycles per second, is too fast
for home television sets to receive.
