New academic and agency building r
Jut
for movt:
By KATHY O’CONNELL
Battalion Staff
Except for some additional
furniture and office supplies, the
new academic and agency build
ing is ready for occupation.
Harry Zenner, user coordina
tor of the building, said the new
building (unnamed at the present)
will house the College of Business
Administration, the Department
of English and several research
agencies.
The departments within the
College of Business Administra
tion are currently located in sever
al buildings on campus. For inst
ance, the accounting department
is currently in the Old Hospital
Building, while the finance, man
agement and business analysis de
partments are in Francis Hall. The
marketing department is in the
old Engineering Building.
Zenner said being scattered
across campus is a disadvantage
for the business departments.
“The College of Business hasn’t
been under one roof for quite a
while,” he said.
This is because the college has
grown considerably in the past
years, he said.
In addition to the business col
lege, the new building located on
Ireland Street will house the En
glish department with the excep
tion of the speech therapy lab.
Zenner said even the writing lab,
that used to be in the small En
glish Annex on Ross Street, will
move to the new building.
The top floor of the seven-floor
building is already occupied by
the Texas A&M Research Founda
tion and the Texas Real Estate
Center, Zenner said. The building
will also house a major portion of
the Texas Transportation Institute
offices.
Cost of the building totaled
approximately $12 million, he
said. The overall cost of the pro
ject, which began in February
1979, came to about $16 million,
he said. This included clearing
four of the eight army barracks
that were located near the site.
Some business classes are ex
pected to move into the building
June 15 during the first summer
session, Zenner said. Temporary
locations for those courses will be
listed in the summer schedule.
“What the professor will do is
just pick up his class anc move it to
the new building,” he said.
Zenner said an additional re
mote computing center will open
in the new building but he doesn’t
know when.

Black community to get'
Houston running water

HOUSTON — Ever since the
tiny, primarily black community
of Bordersville was annexed by
Houston, residents eagerly awa
ited the luxury of running water.
Wednesday, some 12 years after
annexation, the city started laying
the pipes that will mean the end of
outhouses and rusty water barrels.
Once the water lines are com
pleted — probably by the end of
the year — residents of Borders
ville will no longer have to get
their drinking, cooking and bath
water from the rusty barrels that
sit on the porches of their homes.
Septic tanks are also planned.
Meanwhile, three times a week
a city fire truck drives through the
poor community, located about a
30-minute drive northeast of
downtown Houston, and pumps
water into the residents’ old water
barrels.
“I’ve been at it for so long, I got
used to it,” said Tilda Mae Prater,
67, who dips her drinking water
from the barrels on her front
porch. For a bath, she carries
bucketsful inside.
“But I could stand running wa
ter if I had it,” she said.
A former VISTA volunteer who
helped get the water lines
approved said city officials didn’t
care about annexed areas.
“The city fathers are just gob
bling up communities and feel
they don’t have to deliver any ser
vices,” said Jeff Betlewski, 30.
The roughly 250 households in
Bordersville, little more than a
few streets of tired shanties, have
been complaining for years about
the lack of running water. When

Doing a better Job
for homeowners
Again
Anco offers homeowner’s coverage
that will compare to any you can buy. But
there’s a catch. Now it costs less.
Through special authority, Anco can
deviate from standard homeowner policy
rates up to 35%. That can save you to 10%
from other agencies. And you still get the
same kind of claims service that’s made us
famous. No waiting for some other guy. In
some other office. In some other town.
