local / state CS to reroute traffic on part of Holleman by Hope E. Paasch Battalion Staff Traffic on Holleman Street between Winding Road and Wellborn Road will be rerouted this fall when construction on the section begins, a state high way department engineer said Monday. C.D. Williamson, supervising planning engineer for the Texas State Department of Highways, said traffic would be detoured down side streets until the re building is completed. “Since that section of Holle man is in such bad shape, there’s not too much traffic on it now,” The Best Pizza In Town! Honest. dei am cat th< he A ca fu g r sh pc af nt T I i 1< m WE DELIVER 846-3412 Mr. Gatti's Pizzamat AFTER 5 P.M. — MIN. $5.00 ORDER Williamson said. “Most people go down Southwest Parkway already.” The street will be widened, he said, so the city must gain the necessary right-of-way before construction can begin. The city still needs right-of-way from one more piece of property. “The city is in the process of condemning that property,” he said. “Hopefully, we won’t be delayed any longer. It’s difficult to go into a low-income housing area and try to come up with 60 feet of right-of-way where only 30 or 40 feet had existed be fore.” After the city purchases the right-of-way, a contract will be assigned, Williamson said, prob ably sometime in August. Con struction could begin as early as Sept. 1. Rebuilding is expected to take at least six to eight months. However, delays might extend that figure, said Elrey Ash, dire ctor of capital improvements for College Station. Bad weather often delays any type of con struction. s Up at Texas A&M Tuesday CHI ALPHA CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY:Rev. Brad Fus- sell will be speaking at 7 p.m. in the All Faiths Chapel.

Discussion of next Jailed Dallas man waits 21 months without trial New Hours United Press International DALLAS — At this stage it may not matter to Bobby James Watson which way the wheels of justice move, so long as they move. Watson, 23, has been in Dal las County jail for 21 months without trial, while psychologists decide whether he is mentally impaired, or lacking in intelli gence but capable of under standing his situation. Prosecutors insist he should be tried for three felony offenses, which Watson denies committing. Watson may never get a trial and may remain a ward of the county for the rest of his life. “I really feel I’m being mis treated, because I don’t have no knowledge of these (crimes) whatsover,” he told a news paper. State Dist. JudgeJack Hamp ton said: “He (Watson) is not mentally ill. He’s not competent (to stand trial). He’s a pain in the rear.” Watson’s former attorney, Harry L. Zimmermann, says the man “is one of those people who, involuntarily, could be in the cri minal justice system all his life.” Watson was jailed Oct. 19, 1980, after being arrested along with two other former convicts in an apartment burglary. He was free on parole after serving three years of a five-year arson sentence. AH three signed statements about their roles in the burglary. The other two suspects said Watson was an active accom plice; Watson insisted he only accompanied the others looking for work. Zimmermann said Watson signed a confession not knowing what it said, and last January filed a motion saying Watson was suffering from mental prob lems and was incompetent to stand trial. Two psychiatrists examined Watson; one said he was mental ly retarded, the other said he had brain-damage but was com petent. A psychologist said Wat son was intelligent enough to assist in his defense. Last November,fl Watson competem.1 delayed.

New A&M committee seeks vice president by Rebeca Zimmermann Battalion Staff The search for a new vice president for academic affairs has been reopened and another committee has been named to conduct the search. The position has been vacant since January when Dr. J.M. Prescott resigned to direct the Texas A&M University Institute of Occupational and Environ mental Medicine. Dr. Charles McCandless, associate vice presi dent for academic affairs, has served as interim vice president. University President Frank E. Vandiver has proposed changing the position’s title to provost and vice president of academic affairs. The title change is part of Vandiver’s reorganization and reassignment plans for the Uni versity, said Dr. Clinton Phillips, Texas A&M University Dean of Faculties. “In essence it wouldn’t be that much different than it is now,” Phillips said. The provost title would make it clear that the provost would be second in line to the president but on the same level as other ia> A&M REALTY ^ And APARTMENT PLACEMENT , Serving the Aggies since 1971.
