id proposal approved,
shelter support continued

lifter lengthy discussion
lednesday evening, the Col-
|e Station City Council
proved a proposal to maintain
|\roll transactions for the Bra-
;os Animal Shelter.
In January, the council had
reed to financially support the
imal shelter until it was self-
pportive. Previously, the
uncil had approved $16,000
Ir the animal shelter payroll,
[which totaled about $4,000 a
lonth.
Mayor Gary Halter said he
wanted the councilmen to know
that the shelter was operated
jointly by College Station,
Bryan, and Brazos County.
Halter said College Station
was funding the animal shelter
because in January, Bryan and
Brazos County said they could
not provide financial aid. The
animal shelter will reimburse
the council when it can afford to
pay its five employees.
City Manager North Bardell
said the Brazos Animal Shelter is
serving five surrounding coun
ties.
“We didn’t mean for it to be
come a regional shelter,” he
said.
Councilman Lynn Nemec
said funding should not be
“open-ended.” The council
approved her proposal, which
called for a quarterly review of
the animal shelter payroll.
In other business, the council
swore in its new members. Win
ners in the council race on Satur
day were Alvin Prause, Vicky
Reinke and Gary Anderson.
Reinke and Anderson will be
serving a first term on the coun
cil, and Prause will be serving a
second term.
At the meeting, the mayor
signed a proclamation that de
clared April 3-9 as the “Week of
the Young Child” in Brazos
County. This week is a state
wide celebration designed to
focus on the needs and accom
plishments of children. After
signing the proclamation, Hal
ter had his picture taken with
the children from Humpty
Dumpty School in Bryan.
Council business also in
cluded the approval of a resolu
tion that reported the number
of ballots used Saturday by each
precinct in the city council elec
tion.

Bureau supplies speakers
Students talk at musters
by Christine Mallon
Battalion Reporter
J Muster — one of Texas
J&M’s most revered traditions
{-is April 21, and several stu-
pts from here will travel
Iross the state to speak at mus
ter ceremonies.
I The students are members of
the Texas A&M Speaker’s
Bureau, an organization headed
\j) Carolyn Adair, director of
r ident activities.
Adair teaches a seminar that
. Ifepares students for the speak
ers bureau.
Hoby Reed, a bureau mem-
^aid the class prepares stu-
fents to speak on any topic that
Incerns the University.
"It’s a one-hour credit course
conducted just like a speech
course, except all of our work
focuses on Texas A&M,” Reed
said.
Reed, the Corps of Cadets’
public relations officer, has rep
resented the Corps and the Uni
versity at many out-of-town
functions, including high school
college nights, A&M Mothers
Club meetings and a muster
ceremony last year in Seguin.
Adair said students can enroll
in the seminar by applying dur
ing the fall semester of their
junior year and, if accepted, can
join the class in the spring.
The class now has 27 stu
dents, most of whom will speak
at a muster ceremony some
where in Texas on April 21.
Some of the students won’t be
able to go because of other en
gagements, Adair said, so other
qualified students have been
selected to speak.
Robert Crouch, a junior from
Poteet, is not in the seminar but
has been selected along with two
other students to represent the
University at a muster in Rosen
berg.
Crouch said he probably was
chosen because of his “love for
Aggieland.” He also is a sub
chairman for Fish Camp ’83, a
recruiter for the Corps of
Cadets, president of the Physical
Education Club and a member
of the Corps’ Company D-l.
Adair said six cities have re
quested speakers from the
bureau, and three students have
been chosen to attend each of
the ceremonies.
The three representatives
usually include a male and
female civilian student and a
junior or senior cadet, she said.
This assigriment procedure
gives people a chance to hear
about all aspects of Aggie life,
she added.
Students already have been
selected to attend musters in De
nton, Giddings, Rockdale,
Rosenberg, Waller and Whar
ton. Adair said by next week
speakers will be assigned to ab
out three more cities.
orthgate issues identified
at t
t-'te
riff

Open discussions between
icrchants, landowners and
Northgate area residents in a
jfjorthgate committee workshop
Wednesday found no specific
lutions to the area’s problems.
Dan McGilvray, head of the
lunteer committee investigat-
g renovation possibilities for
e Northgate area, said there
are four major problem areas:
rking, traffic, maintenance
d zoning restrictions.
The merchants agreed that
e area’s major problem is
irking. Many students who are
Ruble to find parking spaces on
mpus during the day park
long the streets or in spaces re
served for customers.
As a result, the vacant lots
and streets in the area are jam
med with cars. Drivers have
trouble seeing around the cars,
creating hazards for pedes
trians. The merchants said this
situation discourages customers
from doing business in North-
gate.
A1 Gutierrez, owner of Alfre
do’s Tacos al Carbon, said he
doubts that anything can be
done about the parking problem
until the city has the cooperation
of the University.
McGilvray agreed. He said
students will continue to park in
the area as long as it is more
convenient than parking on
campus. Cracking down on the
students by ticketing and towing
cars, he said, is no solution — the
problem would just shift to
other areas.
“If students have to pay $50
for a ‘hunting license’ to look for
a place on campus, and they can
park over here for free, of
course they’ll park here,” he
said.
Pedestrian safety is a primary
consideration for the area,
McGilvray said. He proposed in
stalling a traffic light that would
work on a “scrambler” system.
Under this system, the lights in
all directions would be red at the
same time to enable pedestrians
to cross in all directions while
traffic is stopped.
The merchants said mainte
nance problems could be solved
by enforcing the zoning restric
tions.
