Council to plan
funding projects
By DANNA RICHEY
Battalion Reporter
College Station will receive ap
proximately $227,000 in federal re
venue sharing funds this year but
the city council remains undecided
on specific uses for the money.
During its meeting last Thursday,
the council heard proposals which
included funding a full-time police
officer for the A&M Consolidated
school district, a plastic “bub
ble” cover, improvements to
Nimitz Street, a street-striping
machine, sidewalks on Lawyer and
Holleman streets, and drainage in
Dexter Park.
The council will make its final de
cision on how the money on how the
money is to be spent at its Sept. 28
meeting.
The full-time officer for the A&M
Consolidated school district will cost
about $14,963, says City Manager
North Bardell.
The officer would work daily
teaching school children about the
new Safety City project. He also
would be working on the school
campus lecturing, counseling and
training schoolguards. Bardell said
the officer would aid in the suppres
sion of drug and alcohol abuse, as
well.
Another item that has been prop
osed is a pool cover which would be
used to allow swimming during cold
weather. It could be used on Adam
son Pool or the planned pool at
Thomas Park.
The pool cover would cost about
$14,000 and would have a 10-year
lifetime, according to a parks de
partment spokesman.
The cover is a plastic dome sup
ported by air from blowers.
Some council mes sai d they
doubted that wintke of the pool will
justify the expense. But others
pointed out that the pools cost more
than $300,000 and the cover simply
provides year-around use for these
facilities.
Consol to study
school addition

A bond issue to finance a new
elementary school may be in the
planning for the A&M Consolidated
school district, says Rodney C. Hill,
chairman of the Long-Range Plan
ning Committee for the district.
The committee met briefly with
the Board of Education Friday af
ternoon, asking for a “needs assess
ment” for the district. Enrollment
projections and current optimum
enrollment figures for each school
also were requested.
Hill said there is a prospect for a
bond issue in April of next year. En
rollment in the elementary schools
has been increasing yearly at a
steady rate of five percent.
“Even if a third elementary
school is built, then by 1980 all
three schools would be full,” said
Hill.
Presently, both elementary
schools are well over the optimum
enrollment.
The next step in planning for a
possible bond issue is approval from
the superintendent and his staff.
Hill hopes to take a “logical step by
step” approach in preparation for
the bond issue. This would include
an analysis of population trends in
other school districts as compared to
consolidated, and estimates of plan
ning and construction time. Also in
cluded would be a preliminary es
timate of inflation.
The last bond issue, inflation
went up and we were faced with a
2-year-budget,” Hill said.

people just get out of his way and stare.

Smithsonian presentation, party
held for ‘All in the Family’ chai
United Press International
WASHINGTON — If you doubt
that television has become a force in
American life, you should have been
at the Smithsonian when the
Watergate judge and a former pres
idential candidate came in homage
to a chair — the one Archie Bunker
sat in.
Archie’s chair — and Edith’s too
— became museum artifacts in a
plastic cage. They were presented
Tuesday night to the Museum of
History and Technology by televi
sion entrepreneur Norman Lear,
who created “All In The Family.”
Smithsonian Secretary S. Dillon
Ripley, accepting on behalf of the
institution, called the chairs "part of
the nation’s cultural legacy.”
High blood pressure prevented
Carroll O’Connor, who portrays Ar
chie, from making the flight to
Washington.
Jean Stapleton, Archie’s wife,
came in person and said she was
tickled that even the Smithsonian
considered Edith real and impor
tant.
Earlier, members of the cast met
President Carter at the n
House.
At the party, a Smithsonian
cial confided that the question
whether to accept so triflingai
tifact with so large a ceremony
raised an internal dispute with® 1
institution.
Opponents said it was _
well if the museum wantedtooR
