Easterwood improvements,
problems subject of meeting
by Dayna Boren
Battalion Reporter
A faster, more comfortable
airplane with a capacity of 48
passengers will be available for
service at Easterwood Airport.
The deHaviland Dash 7, which
is owned by Rio airlines, will be
making its first run April 15
from Easterwood to Dallas-Fort
Worth Airport.
In order to service a plane
with a capacity of more than 30
passengers, special equipment
was needed to comply with safe
ty standards of the Federal Avia
tion Administration. The new
equipment is for crash fire and
rescue protection. Until proper
funding is available for Easter
wood to buy it’s own equipment,
certain pieces of rescue equip
ment will be borrowed from lar
ger airports so that the service
can get underway.
Other proposed improve
ments to Easterwood include the
installation of taxi-lights, a new
sealing coat on the runway, an
expanded parking area and new
directional signs, to help guide
the pilots to the runway. Pre
sently, the only real problem at
Easterwood is the limited ramp
space available at the airport.
In a meeting of the Texas
Aeronautical Facilities Plan
(TAFC), the needs for further
airport development and state
funding for airport improve
ments in seven counties were
discussed. The counties in
cluded Brazos, Burleson,
Grimes, Leon, Madison, Robert
son and Washington counties.
Dana Ryan, airport develop
ment specialist, conducted the
meeting which was attended by
representatives and elected offi
cials of the counties, airport
board members and managers
and other local citizens with an
interest in the subject.

Local citizens argued that the
oil business, which is located
across the street from Coulter,
and the growth in population of
Bryan should be used as factors
in determining state funding for

sed along with need for further
development of the individual

Most communities are eligible

individual needs of the coun
ties were discussed, starting with

Bryan, was the target of the dis

had a single-paved runway. The

with a recommendation of a
the airport.
However, Ryan said that the
limited funds available would
probably not be used for such a
project. Because of the close
proximity of Easterwood Air
port to Coulter Field, most of
the improvements would be
made to Easterwood since it is
already equiped with a control
tower and more sophisticated
equipment.
Ryan said the direct impact of
the economy on air travel is hard
to measure, but as the economy
improves, so will the amount of
air traffic.
Parents’ midnight yell cancelled
by Connie Edelmon
Battalion Staff
The first Parents’ Weekend
midnight yell practice was to be
held this year, but problems
have arisen and the event was
cancelled before it ever was
scheduled.
The student government
committee on continuing prog
rams — which handles Muster,
Parents’ Weekend, and blood
drive — conceived the idea to
have the yell practice earlier this
semester.
Wally Brewster, chairman of
the Parents’ Weekend commit
tee, said he wanted to have the
yell practice April 15, to show
parents one of the more memor
able traditions here at Texas
A&M.
“Parents’ day is here to show
our parents Texas A&M and the
things we do,” he said.
Midnight yell practice is
Now you know
United Press International
OXFORD, England —
Michael Cox, proud owner of
214-year-old Swinton Bridge in
Oxfordshire, is adamant. He
wants a 400 percent toll hike and
never mind the government’s
fight against inflation.
He told a hearing Tuesday he
wants 10 pence for cars, 15
pence for heavier vehicles and 5
pence for motorcycles. In Amer
ican currency, that converts to
5V'2, 8‘/i and 2V4 cents, respec
tively.
After all, he told a Depart
ment of Transport inspector,
the fee has been unchanged at 2
pence — a penny — since the
bridge was completed in 1769.
something most parents hear
about but don’t usually see, he
said. The yell practice also was to
have been a prelude to the alum
ni football game, which will be
gin at 2 p.m., April 16.
Brewster said his committee
talked with coordinators of the
alumni game, members of the
administration and students and
received favorable reactions to
the yell practice.
Since the event would start
before the end of Residence
Hall Association’s Casino —
which usually doesn’t end until
after midnight — the committee
also contacted RHA.
Brewster said RHA had
heard about the yell practice and
had planned to close early for
the event.
However, when the commit
tee approached Tom Joseph,
head yell leader, he opposed the
idea, citing the imposition on the
Aggie Band as his main reason
for not wanting the event to take
place.
Joseph said in an interview
Wednesday that he felt there
already were enough activities
planned for Parents’ Weekend
and that the band would be in
volved in many of them.
He listed the Elephant Bowl
(a football game between seniors
in the corps), MSC Talent Show
and RHA’s Casino as some of
the activities band members
either would be involved with or
attending April 15.
Joseph also said the band
would have to be at the alumni
game. He said students have the
choice of going to the game at all
or leaving early, but band mem
bers and yell leaders have to stay
for the whole game. The band
also would be busy all day Sun
day with the Corps review.
“Sometimes it’s easy for stu
dents to want the band and yell
leaders here, then there,” he
said. “It’s easy to ask a little too
much.”
Joseph also said the element
of time involved in planning and
preparing for the yell practice is
also a problem. Yell leaders,

Corps juniors who guard the
band and band members would
have to leave other activities at
11:20 p.m. or earlier.
When confronted with that
reason, Brewster said he told
Joseph that it was unnecessary
for the band to march all the way
from Duncan Dining Hall but
just to be in Kyle Field by mid
night.
However Joseph said
Wednesday, “I don’t want to do
something halfway.”
After talking to Joseph,
Brewster said his committee
talked to yell leader advisor,
Donnie Albrecht; junior yell
leaders, T.K. Kronshage and
Jeff Crofton; and a representa
tive from the band.
Crofton and Kronshage were
contacted because if elected to
their yell leader positions again,
one of them probably would be
announced as head yell leader
over the weekend and would be
in charge of the yell practice,
Brewster said. The new yell
leaders were to have led the mid
night yell practice.
Crofton, Kronshage and
Albrecht foresaw no problems
with the event, Brewster said,
but the committee had to print a
schedule for the weekend. They
still had no approval from
Joseph or Col. Joe T. Haney,
band director, so they decided to
drop the idea. Brewster said he
didn’t want to stir up problems
and possibly damage the
weekend.
Joseph said he understands
the desires of students and for
mer students to have the yell
practice but said too much
would be happening over the
weekend.
“This has been a real good
year,” Joseph said. He added
that he hoped the omission of
yell practice on Parents’
Weekend wouldn’t spoil the
year saying, “I hope it will go out
on a good note.”
Brewster said he hoped —
even though midnight yell prac
tice wouldn’t be held — many
students would invite their pa
rents for the weekend, because
there were more activities for
students and parents to enjoy.

‘No Exit’ explores
hell, existentialism
by Angel Stokes
Battalion Staff
“Hell is other people,” could
be the theme of “No Exit,” a play
by Jean-Paul Sartre presented
Thursday. The theme also could
be “hell is an agony of mind.”
Its real theme, however, is ex
istentialism. Existentialism is the
belief that each man exists as an
individual in a purposeless uni
verse, and, through the exercise
of his free will, must oppose his
environment.
The device used to express
existentialism is three people,
one man and two women, who
have been damned to hell.
Each person arrives in hell
expecting torture to await him,
but there is none. The only tor
ture is what they do to one
another verbally and emotion
ally.
The three are destined to
spend eternity in a drawing
room that contains three
couches and a bronze statue. It is
never dark, and they never can
sleep.

Gallas, is a journalist from Rio.
