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.

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.

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.
