John Gilbert, program director for rge| ;ems tolii| constaoij tool, f juveiiii , says W thetnii! ‘ge of tfr n in son fromspl! KAMU-FM, said the jazz broadcast is “a way to promote National Public Radio and to let students know we’re here” The station is emphasizing a new addition to its broadcast facilities, a satellite distribution system. The system is being incorporated into National Public Radio stations all over the country, and NPR president Frank Mankiewicz said the system has propelled public radio into a new era.” Gilbert said the station used to take distant broadcasts such as news from Washington, D.C., over the telephone, and the sound quality was not as good as local broadcasting, because telephone cables are not able to deliver full fidelity over long distances. Bill Oxley, NPR’s senior vice pres ident for distribution, said, “The satellite, however, mirrors exactly the signals it receives, and public radio stations equipped to receive satellite transmissions can take advantage of the higher quality broadcasts. ” Gilbert said the transition to satel- CS Zoning Commission to study condominium plan lite was not difficult to do because KAMU-TV already had a satellite set-up. Gilbert said only minor ad justments were necessary to convert the radio station to the TV station’s system. KAMU-FM, 90.9 on the FM band, is a non-commercial public radio station operated by Texas A&M. The station is partially sup ported by listener contributions, and it has raised about $21,000 of the $29,500 needed by Aug. 31 to con tinue operating. Donations to the station are tax-deductible and can be sept to KAMU-FM, Texas A&M University. o counsell :n:ateei iprogru By MARCY BOYCE Battalion Staff A request to build condominiums on the vacant lot where the old Cir cle Drive-in burned Tuesday will be Wren ml considered at the meeting of the Col lege Station Planning and Zoning Commission tonight at 7 p.m. If the permit is granted, Boyett Investments, Ltd. plans to construct the Rampart Condominiums on two .acres of the 9.26-acre tract on the h e wl| comer of Church and Nagle streets. isfaytal EacApj-l e cMlj • McVejl II his It-I ants jus! n.‘ ogram. 12 profs to retire on Friday :als froil A dozen Texas A&M University ,(ten toil faculty members with a combined y want J t() tal of 258 years of teaching and re- * search experience are retiring Friday. rribe tfrl Those retiring that are to be bon ier mijE j ored at a reception and dinner today are Dr. Everett Glazener, professor rstaysl of engineering technology, 21 years; tsjusts:| Dr. Robert Stewart, distinguished professor of agricultural engineer ing, 12 years; Dr. William McGuire, City Engineer Elrey Ash said the commission’s approval of the permit depends upon the developer’s plans to resolve drainage problems which might Occur on the lot. In one method he recommended, rainfall is trapped and released gradually fol lowing the period of peak precipita tion. Adequate sewage facilities and uti lities are accessible to the tract, so Ash said he foresees no other prob lems with the proposed construc tion. J.P. Watson, former chairman of the commission, said the condomi niums could create some additional traffic problems for the area. But, he said, “Northgate has a tremendous traffic problem anyway, generated by the University. “We can’t really deny them the right to build just because it will cre ate additional traffic. That’s what the roads are for,” he said. City Planner Al Mayo expressed some concern at a previous meeting that if only two of the 9.6 acres were developed, traffic from the commer cial pocket remaining at the back of the tract would pass through the re sidential property. If that situation does occur, Wat son said probably some type of fron tage road for the commercial proper ty would be created. Most likely, though, residential traffic will be passing through the commercial property rather than the other way around, he said. This proposal by Boyett is actually a scaled-down version of their plan several years ago to build high-rise condominiums on top of the com mercial buildings in that area. Although approved by the commis sion, plans were never carried out. So, Ash said, the current proposal will generate fewer traffic problems than the previous one.
