Development of a park area
east of G. Rollie White Coliseum
will be the the Class of’82 gift to
Texas A&M University, Gary
Wayne Branch, senior class
president, said.
The park, designed to cover
210,000 square feet, will cost an
estimated $32,000. Cheryl
Swanzy, Class of ’82 class gift
chairman, said the park will fea
ture 16 picnic tables and barbe-
que grills on concrete slabs, six
park benches and a volleyball
court.
Four lights will be added to
supplement the area’s existing
lighting and flowering trees
such as redbud and crape myrtle
will be planted throughout the
park, Swanzy said, and a water
ing system will be added this
summer.
A sign identifying the park
will be erected on the northeast
corner of the park along
Throckmorton Street, she said.
Branch said, “We didn’t want
(to give) anything that you could
just walk by and see every day,
but we wanted something that
could be used, and was always
there if someone needed to use
it.”
Joe Arredando, coordinator
with the office of J. Wayne
Stark, special assistant to the
president for development of
cultural programs, said he feels
the park “is a very good way for
upgrading the existing com
munity.”
The park was designed by
architects Janet McArdle and
Pete Vanecek in consultation
with the grounds maintenance
department.
David Moyer, Class of ’82
treasurer, said the class current
ly has $20,000 to spend on the
gift, but wants to raise an addi
tional $12,000. To do this, the
class plans to sell Aggie caps and
elephant t-shirts and to co
sponsor a Shake Russell and
Dana Cooper concert.
The largest fund-raising pro
ject, Moyer said, will be the Ring
Dance, scheduled for May 1. He
estimated that the Ring Dance
would bring in about $10,000.

Originally, McArdle and
Vanecek had added a multi
sided shelter to the plans, but
Moyer said he feels the class will
not be able to raise the $18,000
needed for the shelter.
Class officers currently are
searching for names for the new
park, Branch said. A name must
be chosen soon in order to be
presented for approval at the
March meeting of the Board of
Regents, he said.

A dif ferent kind of golf course
being considered: one for discgolf
by Randy Lemmon
Battalion Reporter
The development of a dis
cgolf course for Frisbee players
is being considered by staff
members in the Department of
Student Services.
Dennis Corrington, head of
the intramural department, and
Dr. Leonard Ponder, head of
the health and physical educa
tion department, are studying
the plan and will make a feasibil
ity recommendation to John J.
Koldus III, vice president for
student services.
A discgolf course is similar to
a regular golf course with desig
nated tees and holes. However, a
frisbee or disc is used instead of
clubs and balls.
The discgolf plan was submit
ted to Corrington by Kevin Sulli
van, an employee of the chemis-
