tders 1 F err y H. Shoup, assistant
Seale, who has been a council
man for the past six years, said
he decided to run because peo
ple insisted that he did.
“Most of the people asked me
to run because they said the city
needed a mayor with more ex
perience than Blatchley,” Seale
said.
Blatchley said Mayor Richard
Smith had been doing an excel
lent job for Bryan and if elected,
he basically plans to continue on
the same path-
“As a matter of fact,” Blatch
ley said, “if Mayor Smith had de
cided to stay, I wouldn’t have
even run.”
Blatchley emphasized the
need for improved streets and
parks, careful and prudent use
of Bryan’s oil and gas royalties
and increased opportunities for
citizen input in setting annual
goals and objectives.
“I think there should be grea
ter expenditures ... on impro
ving our streets,” Blatchley said.
“Anyone who has ever driven on
any of the streets in Bryan would
see how important this is.”
Blatchley said the 1983
budget would provide for these
improvements. The budget calls
for using 50 percent of oil and
gas revenues lor street improve
ments, 25 percent for develop
ment of parks and recreational
facilities, 20 percent for drain
age systems and 5 percent for
contingencies, he said.
“By using the oil and gas
money in this way,” Blatchley
said, “we can effectively meet
these goals without increasing
taxes.”
Seale stressed three main
issues.
First, he said, it is necessary to
upgrade the streets, drainage
and sewer system to meet future
growth. Second, further de
velopment is needed for an
athletic complex in conjunction
with the schools and third, the
city’s police and fire protection
should be improved, he said.
Seale said I he best way to alle
viate drainage problems is for
Bryan, College Station and Bra
zos County to work together.
Seale said he and Blatchley do
not differ much on any major
issues.
“Ron and I are not that diffe
rent in our stands on issues,”
Seale said. “The difference is
that... I have more financial ex
perience and I know more about
the city in general. I know the
city and I know the people."
Seale has a bachelor’s degree
in finance from the University
of Texas.
Blatchley received a master’s
degree from Sam Houston State
University.
Both candidates agreed they
do not want to make their elec
tion campaigns mud-slinging
events.
The elections for mayor, city
council Place 1, Place 3, Place 4
and Place 5 will be April 2.

k&M engineer gets Florida job

marvco dtim of engineering at Flor-
se fromffl'bntic July 1.

t sledge itional Federation for the

Mechanisms since 1977.
“A&M has strength because
of its students,” Shoup said. He
said he has thoroughly enjoyed
being here and working with the
students in his position as assis
tant dean and as a professor.
“A&M has changed since I’ve
been here,” he said, “and the
progress made is incredible. It
will be hard to leave the friends I
have made here.”
But Shoup said he is looking
forward to the challenge of
being dean of engineering.
Florida Atlantic, which has
been around for about 20 years,
is located in a high-technology
area that has lots of opportuni
ties and potential, Shoup said.
“The school needs to make
progress,” Shoup said, “and
there is lots of progress to he
made.”
Florida Atlantic is an upper—
division university — only
juniors, seniors and graduate
students can attend.
“It is a fairly new concept and
hasn’t been proven to be effec
tive or ineffective yet,” he said.
He expects that the climate
will be different than the one at
Texas A&M.
Because the students have
attended junior colleges or
other universities first, he said,
they already have established
attitudes and study patterns.

^United Press International
JL’STIN — One of Gov.
ark White’s two Public Utilitv
ammission nominees is oppos-
Hhe election of PUC commis-
Iners, a view White supported
tiring his campaign.
, Alan 1. ru in, who, along with
. I Vaso housewife Peggv Ros-
son, is expected to easily win full
Senate approval on his nominar
lion Thursday, warned of dan
gerous results if PUC commis
sioners were elected, saying “de
magoguery” could result.
Erwin, 38, said restoring the
public’s confidence in utility reg
ulation would be his top priority.
However, he did not pledge to
lower utility rates.
“I think the best thing I can
promise you is that utility rates
will be no higher than is neces
sary to maintain the financial in
tegrity of the utilities,” he said.
