Later drinking
hours asked for
By BEUNDA McCOY
Battalion Staff
Allowing eating and drinking
establishments in College Station
to keep later business hours was a
topic of discussion in a city coun
cil workshop meeting Wednes
day afternoon.
Representatives of local clubs
spoke to councilmen about ex
tending legal business hours of
alcoholic beverage sales in the
city. The clubs’ representatives
said they would like to be allowed
to stay open until 2 a.m. every
night.
The present city law requires
drinking establishments to close
at midnight on weeknights and at
la.m. on weekends.
Robert Todd, a representative
of Culpepper Properties, which
rents space to several clubs in
College Station, said that because
of higher rent, the businesses
need the extra hours to pick up
extra income.
Clubs do their best business
between the hours of 11 p. m. and
midnight on weeknights and 11
p.m. and 1 a.m. on weekends,
Todd said. Extension of business
hours would allow the clubs to
sell more drinks and generate
more income for the city in the
form of taxes on mixed drinks.
Tommy Dallis, owner of The
Electric Cowboy and Faces, said
that extension of business hours
would also help reduce the confu
sion caused when an entire club
full of people is closed so early.
“College kids are used to
staying out late. We have to kick
them all out at once — one large
group. If we can close at 2, then
they won’t all leave at once. They
will be leaving gradually.’’
This would also reduce the
amount of sudden traffic on the
road, said Dallis, and the inci
dence of violence after hours
caused by restless customers.
Councilmen attending the
meeting agreed to discuss the
matter at a future council meeting
and to ask the city staff and police
department to study the possible
extension.
The council members also dis
cussed an ordinance codification
project in which the city’s ordi
nances would be indexed and re
organized into categories for
easier reference.
Armadillo tickets
sell as keepsakes
United Press International
AUSTIN — A man who salvaged 100,000 tickets to past perform
ances at the Armadillo World Headquarters is advertising them for sale
at $1 each as mementos of the old music hall which is being
demolished.
Rufus Spaulding of Wimberley said he found the tickets in the back
of a skating rink adjoining the Armadillo World Headquarters, and
“saved the tickets from the hungry jaws of a bulldozer.”
The Armadillo and skating rink are being torn down to make room
for a $37 million hotel and office park complex.
Spaulding said the tickets apparently had been tossed into the room
as an afterthought.
“I don’t know what the room was being used for. I call it the mystery
room,” he said.
Spaulding placed ads in two local newspapers to sell the tickets as
Armadillo World Headquarters memorabilia. Some may be worth
more than $1, he said, if they were for concerts by big-name stars.

A Bottle in the Sea
I am like the little bottle in
the sea, as full as it will hold.
The bottle is in the sea, and
the sea is in the bottle; so I am
in Christ, and Christ is in me.
But, besides that bottleful in
the sea, there is a whole
ocean beyond; the difference
is, that the bottle has to be
filled over again, every day,
evermore.
— A. B. Simpson
