Rychlik gets planning post
kii
By Becky Swanson
City Staff
The Bryan City Council
appointed Judy Rychlik to fill the
unexpired term on the Bryan
Planning Commission left vacant
by the resignation of Morris
Hamilton.
Rychlik took her post at the
March 20 meeting of the commis
sion. Her term runs through
October 1982.
City Planner Hubert Nelson
said Hamilton, a building con
tractor, resigned because he did
not have time to attend the meet
ings.
Hamilton had not attended any
of the commission meetings this
year.
Rychlik has served as president
of the Bryan Chamber of Com
merce, has been active in the
March of Dimes and United
Fund, and is the president of the
annual community festival, Bra
zos de Dios.
Rychlik said she became in
terested in city planning when
she was in the chamber of com
merce working on growth and
planning projects.
D. D. Williamson, chairman of
the planning commission, said
Rychlik has been appointed to the
development and transportation
committees of the commission.
Rychlik said she felt she was
appointed to represent the whole
community.
Members of the commission
are often appointed because of
their expertise and experience
with real estate or building and
construction, Rychlik explained.
She said she felt she had been
appointed to represent the com
munity’s interests.
“I have no personal gain by
being on the planning commis
sion,” she said. “They (the city
council) wanted someone who
was interested in the city.
“I think everything we do in
one part of the community affects
the whole community. ”

going to class is an effort, and fatigue
hangs on every step. Days when

For about 20 handicapped stu
dents at Texas A&M University, ev
ery day is that way.
On Monday, Mobility Awareness
Day will give Texas A&M students
the opportunity to experience first
hand what it’s like to be in a wheel
chair.
The special day, sponsored by Stu
dents Concerned For the Handicap
ped, will feature wheelchairs for stu
dents to check out.
Students can wheel into the life of
a handicapped student and the prob
lems of the handicapped. ’
But students won’t be the only
ones getting a taste of the life of a
handicapped student. Ted Elliott,
vocational rehabilitation counselor
for the Texas Commission on cam
pus, said administrators will also be
viewing life from a wheelchair.
According to Elliott, the main pur
pose of Mobility Awareness Day is to
inform administrators of the prob
lems and needs of handicapped stu
dents. Texas A&M President Jarvis
Miller, deans and other handicapped
services at the University ofleg
will give a presentation of lie |]
program. Also, a slide presentalr.
of the problems of the hamU
students on the A&M campusuft
shown.
The day, said Elliot, isi
help build upon the presentpnp!
— a program he says is a good«i
need of some improvement.
