The newest member of the band, a sheep herder from Wyoming, lulled the audience with a melodic harmonica solo, accompanied by the rest of the Statesiders, w'ho provided a smooth background for this attention-getting piece. This part of the show also drew an enthusiastic response from the audience. Throughout the show, Tillis was deluged by requests from fans, all of which he did his best to honor, until time began to run out. Some fast fiddling on “Orange Blossom Special” had the couples dancing in whirling circles on Graham’s dance floor, which seemed to be filled through most of Mel’s show. Tillis closed his show with “I Wanna Go Home” and invited everyone to stop by his office in Nashville for “a pot of coffee.” ezoning 5.3-acre lot pear VW dealer urged r/teSk 'dtawk LOVE! iWINGS LD CHAIN by David Marchand Battalion Reporter 1 Ward Volkswagen’s iowroom and service facilities ay be relocated if a request for toning adjacent property is iproved. j.W.Wood, representing the iderson Ridge Corp., re- estedThursday night that die illege Station Planning and ming Commission recom- nd rezoning the 5.3-acre lot rectly west of Bud Ward Volk- agen horn R-l, single-family sidential, to C-3, planned mmercial district. Anderson Ridge owns the lot. Wood encountered several oblems in justifying the flnge, which would allow for pansion of Bud Ward’s facil ity. A College Station city ordi nance limits C-3 lots to three acres and local residents voiced disapproval of the proposed zoning change. The Rev. L. B. Groce, who lives across the street from the lot, said commercializing the lot might create greater traffic problems on Park Place, which bounds the lot on the north. City Planner A1 Mayo pointed out that dwellings on the lot could strain sewer service, but said approval of the action would not necessarily include access from Park Place. Howev er, he recommended denial in light of the residential nature of the immediate area. Wood tried to circumvent the three-acre limit on C-3 lots by suggesting the property be di vided, but no solution was reached. The commission recom mended that the Anderson Ridge Corp. study the situation further and tabled the question until its next meeting.
