CS decides on home child care By DEBBIE NELSON Battalion Staff The College Station city council Thursday night decided a prece dent-setting home child care case and passed a new child care ordi- ance. If the council maintains the precedent, in-home child care centers ill be allowed in residential areas, within limited numbers. After an hour of dispute over propriety of child day care businesses in residential areas, the council granted an indefinite deadline exten sion for a conditional use permit to Mary Norman’s child home day care center at 1103 Francis. Norman babysits 10 children in her home, and had been told to phase her operation down to six children by August 31, 1981. She won ier appeal Thursday night, despite a 163-signature petition protest from area residents. Numerous parents of the six-week-to-four-year-old children Mary Norman babysits spoke for the quality of care she provides. Some are Residents spoke out against the permit, saying it caused heavy area traffic, opened the door to more child care centers in the area and could depreciate area property values. A new ordinance regulating child care centers was then passed. Provisions of the ordinance require each center has: 1) a permit issued by the city, 2) a safety inspection by the fire marshal, 3) a health/ " sanitary inspection by the health department and 4) full-time duty by an employee who has taken a first-aid course offered by the city. am Us wont ik (especil wearisomeofi at A&M, t you away. i’s sake is rif used minif tics, nss the boat, i advocate tk i on change i o founded r mentality, instead of tie What’s Up FRIDAY ’OW FROG COMPANY 1980: Will have a dance at 8:30 p.m. at Ceil Block Five.

An i qu.il Opportunity I mploycr Miller, Cadets a stage full of talent By JANE G. BRUST Battalion Staff Mary K. Miller seemed to enjoy herself in Rudder Auditorium last night. And because she did, her audi ence enjoyed themselves, too. In a free concert presented by the MSC Town Hall and Opera and Per forming Arts Committees, Miller belted out a variety of tunes like the seasoned professional she is. Her voice was strong, her smile was daz zling. College Station Bank paid for the concert that featured the former Las Vegas entertainer along with Danny which gave a Las Vegas twist to the country favorite. The Singing Cadets delighted the audience with a variety of their favo rites including a rock n roll medley and the lively “Nothin’ Like A Dame.” Another treat was their Christmas medley of Irving Berlin tunes, featuring “White Christmas. ” The Cadets joined Miller for the finale, a sensational performance of “American Trilogy,” highlighted by the spine-tingling “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” With a stage full of talent, the au dience couldn’t help but be im pressed. Review Ward and his 30-piece orchestra, and three women singing backup. The Texas A&M University Singing Cadets opened the show. After the orchestra’s overture of “2001” and “C. C. Rider,” Miller opened with a bubbly “Drivin’ My Life Away.” She bounced around the stage with her contagious smile as if she already knew she was a hit in Aggieland. Miller’s strong point was her ver satility. Her voice was sexy and sul try for “Release Me” and “Do It to Me One More Time.” Then she was sassy and brassy with her renditions of “Johnny B. Good” and “Heartbreak Hotel. ” Much to the audience’s delight, Miller even did a little bit of country with “Help Me Make It Through the Night” and “Stand By Your Man." A crowd of mostly community citizens filled only two-thirds of the au ditorium. While Miller took a short break, Ward and his orchestra performed their version of “Cotton Eyed Joe, ” SWENsen’S h 7 FLAVORS ^ OF CHRISTMAS PAST Pumpkin, Rum Raisin, Egg Nog& Divinity Fudge are available at Swensen’s Ice Cream Factory Culpepper Plaza College Station 693-6948 y0W Lm| Battalion maikfltplace|J0 classifieds Call 845-2611 AIM AGGIES!
