Tuesday, March 29, 1983/The Battalion/Page 5 Bryan council OKs pipeline, coach’s day by Craig Harris Battalion Reporter The Bryan City Council in its meeting Monday granted a license to Vanguard Pipeline Corp. to install pipelines to transport and store natural gas in Bryan. The 8.5 miles of pipeline will run beneath some private prop erty, but mainly under city and railroad property. The Council also granted permission for Ferguson Cros sing Pipeline Co. to lay pipelines beneath city property, including the Bryan Municipal Golf Course. In other action, the Council awarded a contract to Hughes Aviation for operation of Coul ter Field, the airport on Bryan’s northeast side. Mayor Richard Smith assured the owners of air planes kept at the field that the city would not allow the new management to take advantage of the no-competition situation. He said hangar rental and ser vice prices at the field would re main close to what they are now. The Council also gave final approval to set up a historical district in Bryan, the East Side Historical District, which in cludes 96 buildings. Smith declared March 28 as Larry Brown Day in Bryan. Brown is coach of the Bryan Viking basketball team, which has a 12-0 record in district play this year and a 34-5 record overall. Brown said he was proud of his players and said that because of them he is optimistic about the future of Bryan. “These young men have their priorities straight,” he said, “and I know they can be leaders in Bryan when they graduate.” Icates March?! p* >f the Extensi# j n cert gers will preseu iv at 7:30p.ra.

Theoccupationsof many for- r presidents seem to suggest the position is a stepping ne to a higher status. Most former presidents go on receive MBA’s, become tyers or enter politics, says J. tyneStark, former du n tot oi : Memorial Student Center onow serves as a special assis- ittothe president of the Uni- ■sity. At least three of the last 15 dent body presidents are tubers of the Texas Legisla- e.Those three, Gerald Geist- idt, Kent Caperton and John trp, served consecutive terms student body president, be tting in 1969. Geistweidt, president from 9-70, now serves as repre- itativeof the 67th District. He d that during his term, Stu- tt Government realized civi- is would play a major part in npus politics. tervingas student body presi lt had three major effects on life, Geistweidt said. First, it contributed to his in- est in politics and stimulated interest in public service; ond, it strengthened his con- ence and convinced him that could win an election; and rd, it helped him develop itacts useful in his present npaigns. , president from 1971- is senator of the 18th Dis- t.

Former presidents Brad Smith, 1980-81, and Frederick McClure, 1976-77, are involved in national politics. Smith works in Sen. John Tower’s office as a legislative di rector. Last year, he worked in Sen. Howard Baker’s office monitoring floor activities, answering questions and plan ning strategy for the Republi cans. Smith said he originally be came involved in Student Gov ernment in order to meet peo ple. He then decided that since he already had invested a lot of time in Student Government, he might as well run for president. “It was a laboratory in man agement because of the large student government,” he said. Being president taught him what motivates people and helped with communication skills, Smith said. McClure recently was appointed Tower’s legislative di rector. He is responsible for eva luating the senator’s policies, de signing legislation for Tower and overseeing the other legisla tive directors in Tower’s office. Many other former presi dents now work as lawyers, financial consultants, real estate brokers and officers of major corporations. However, not all have chosen such professions. For example, Bobby Tucker, president from 1978-79, is minister of youth at Farley Steet Baptist Church in Waxahachie. “Be A Teasip” Today Only — March 29 30% off all packaged teas — Ginseng Blend great for your social life!

Dii'j- United Press International KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The earliest Easter greeting cards grew out of the ancient custom of giving eggs as holiday gifts, says Keith Davis. The curator of the Hallmark Historical Collection of antique greeting cards says the first Eas ter cards were published in the mid-19th century. “Then, as now, eggs were the most widely used design. Today we’re actually closer to the age- old tradition, since the most popular cards tend to be die- cuts, cards that are cut in the shape of eggs.” (j, Sharp, igns.
