them from heavy traffic areas
such as Texas Avenue, John
Black, College Station traffic en
gineer, said.
The hike routes, which will be
marked by signs, will direct
bicyclists through back roads to
the campus.
The project also will include
striped lanes on campus streets
such as East Mam, Coke,
Throckmorton and the Eastgate
entrance to Texas A&M Univer
sity. Another path, which will
connect Dominik Drive and
Kyle Street is planned east of
Texas Avenue.
When the bicycle routes are
completed and provide alterna
tive routes, an ordinance will be
passed to restrict bicycles from
travelling on Highway 30, Texas
Avenue or from Holleman
Drive to Lincoln Street, Black
said.
The ordinance will set a fine
for bicyclists who fail to comply,
he added.
The city considered bike
routes several years ago, and a
grant from the Federal Highway
Administration recently was
made available.
The grant reimburses the city
75 percent of the total project
costs.
The administration awarded
only $1 million nationwide for
such projects, and the only
Texas cities included in the
grant were College Station and
Mission, Black said.
Total project cost is estimated
at $47,000 and includes the cost
of the signs, paths and striping.
A pollemer material will be
used instead of paint for the
striping which is expected to last
for six or seven years without
touch-ups, Black said.

The south annex of Heiden
fels Hall has become a map of
Texas — at least in the minds of
some creative students.
Granted, Padre Island is mis
sing, the Texas Panhandle is not
quite right and state lines are
distorted, but when viewed from
the top of Rudder Tower, the
roof does resemble the image of
Texas.
Ronald D. Lyle, an architect
for Golemon 8c Rolfe of Hous
ton and the building’s designer,
was surprised when asked about
the resemblance. He said any re
semblance was purely coin
cidental.
“I have seen the building
from the air and have reviewed
the blueprints numerous times,
but I never saw that,” he said.
Lyle, who designed the building
in 1974, said he wished he could
claim the creative design, but
said it was a result of the needed
functions of the building.
Lyle said the University had
three requirements — the
largest auditorium possible, a
rotating stage and a service cor
ridor to reach the stage — in the
construction of the south annex.
Coupled with the size and shape
of the site, this led to the design,
he said.
The rotating stage is at the
Northwest corner of the annex.
Both the stage and the separate
corridor allow a professor to set
up a program before his lecture
without disturbing classes in
progress.
The corridor servicing the
stage was angled at 45 degrees to
save space, Lyle said. The shape
of the auditorium allowed the
maximum number of seats.
“We were asked to provide
312 seats, and I think we were
able to fit 308,” Lyle said.
Gen. Wesley E. Peel, vice
chancellor for facilities planning
and construction, said a bid
from BFW Construction Co. was
accepted in 1975 and work was
completed in 1977. The build
ing cost slightly more than $5
million, Peel said.
“It is a simple building and yet
it is one of the better appreciated
buildings on campus,” he said.
“The staff who use it are very
pleased with how functional the
building is.”
Heidenfels Hall was named
after H.C. Heidenfels who re
ceived a bachelor’s degree from
Texas A&M in 1935. Heidenfels
served as president of the Board
of Directors — now the Board of
Regents — from 1965 to 1967.
