Ryan. The second pass-by begins at 5:10 p.m. The new Corps — the present Corps members, minus the outgoing, seniors dressed in the uniforms they will wear in the fall — will march the second pass-by. The second pass-by is reviewed by the outgoing seniors. The Doherty Award will be presented during commission ing. The award of $3,000 is given to a senior cadet who “shows high moral character, love of God, patriotism to coun try and state, is a faithful Aggie and has won the trust of the Corps of Cadets and the student body as a whole,” says Rob Robi son, assistant to the comman dant. The winner’s name is not re vealed until the ceremony. The award was established in 1971 in honor of the late William T. Doherty. After commissioning, each new officer carries a silver dollar that is given to the first cadet who salutes him. Final Review, Robison says, marks the end of a cadet’s career and the official rising of the leadership for the next year. “It’s an end but it’s also a be ginning,” he says. “It symbolizes that the Corps will continue to be an ongoing affair.” During Final Review, a saber that dates back to 1897 is passed from the outgoing Corps com mander to the new one. Also, four aircraft will fly over the field at 3:30 if the weather is suitable, Robison says. “The pilots of those aircraft will probably be Aggies (former students),” he says. Final Review has been a part of Texas A&M and the Corps since the University was found ed, says junior Kirk Joseph, a public relations sergeant on the Corps staff. But there have been some innovations since the first review. After the review, the seniors will form an “83” on the field to have a picture made, Joseph says. This is the first year this has been done. Church denied building plan by Lezlee Hinson Battalion Reporter The College Station Planning and Zoning Commission met Thursday and unanimously re jected a construction plan to put a church on three lots of land between Arizona and Phoenix streets. The Rev. M.E. Wells made the request for the Christ Holy Missionary Baptist Church. At the last commission meet ing on April 21, the application was tabled due to parking and traffic concerns. Both Arizona and Phoenix streets - located be tween Holleman Avenue and Southwest Parkway - are fairly narrow and the commissioners agreed that cars parking on the side of the street would create problems. Wells said that parking would not be a problem because most of the church members lived near the proposed church site and would walk to church ser vices. Harry Thomas, a resident of the neighborhood and an oppo nent of the application, told the commission that the church would indeed create traffic problems. He said the commun ity should continue to be a strict ly residential area and that approximately 95 percent of area residents agreed with him. He based this figure on a peti tion, previously submitted to the commission, which was circu lated around the neighborhood. Director of City Planning A1 Mayo said that the parking faci lities of the proposed church met with the minimum city re quirements. But as commission er Stephen Hansen pointed out, because the plans just barely meet current city standards con cerning required parking spaces, the church would have no room to legally expand. Commission chairman David Hill then recommended that Wells re-design the church or consider purchasing an addi tional lot(s) to alleviate the park ing concern, and then re-apply for the permit. In other business the com mission voted to: — approve the parking lot plan of the College Station Business Center -located between F.M. 2818 and Longmire and Valley View Drives. — approve the parking lot plan of the Eastmark Office/Ser vice Center located on Eastmark Drive.
