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.”

With elections for student
i president starting today,
may wonder what has hap-
to former Texas A&M
dent body presidents.
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. Sharp said his -experience
tudentbody president influ-
:ed voters in his other cam-
Kent Caperton, president
f rom 1970-71, is senator of the
5th District.
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.

BLENDS OF GIFT-GIVING
Now you know
. 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.”

npus students.”
