A 20-yard wide drainage ditch is being built to alleviate the flooding problem on the east side of campus, which in cludes the golf course. Andy Birmingham, the act- The haircut you want is the haircut you get. we guarantee it At Supercuts, w^ve been trained to cut hair perfectly. So no matter how you like your hair cut, you’re going to get the cut you like. Every time. We guarantee it, or your money back.

And a Supercut is always $8.‘ I I ICU OlCUOl I Id II kJI II IkJd Ik^C oupcfcutr ing manager of the golf course, said the course’s low spots are the main cause of the flooding. Since the soil is composed mainly of hard, red clay, it’s dif ficult for rain water to drain. He said it’s also difficult for grass to grow well on the clay. But the reverse is true else where on the course. The high spots on the rough need rain. Since the sprinkler system only covers the fairways, the rest pf course is dry. Birmingham said the con struction of the ditch is just part of a two-year project to improve the golf course. Most im provements, such as the drain age ditch, will be purely func tional, but others will merely be cosmetic additions. He said some of the holes will be reshaped or enlarged while other holes will be completely rebuilt. The soil being removed from the drainage ditch will be used to fill some of the course’s low Work continues on the 15th hole of the Texas A&M golf course. The con struction is part of a two-year project spots, Birmingham said, and some of the tees will be rebuilt. Bet-ins, large mounds or con tours, also will be built from the excess soil to define some of the holes better and make the course a little more challenging. “It’s an easy, forgiving cour se,” Mark Johlke, a graduate student who often uses the course, said. “It’s ideal for a be ginner like me.” “The maintenance of the course is pretty good — about good as can be expected for such low green fees," he said. “The only thing I don’t like is the drainage problem. I’m glad they’re doing something about that.” Greg Frazier, a senior me chanical engineering major, said he also thought the course is in pretty good shape and just a little difficult to him. “The course is wide open — no trees,” he said. ‘Ther the roughs mowed, y good because you don't many balls.” Frazier’s golfing Noel Irvin, a freshman met! ical engineering major, liked the course becauseild not much water.

For many off-campus stu dents the appeal of living on campus lies in the hustle and bustle of social activity that dor mitory life offers, not to men tion the convenience. Lesley A. Stoup, a staff assis tant in the Housing Office, said there is a waiting list of about 1,200 non-freshman students who want to live on campus. Off-Campus Housing Center Coordinator LouAnn Schulze said, “Dorms offer spirit and unity that apartments don’t of fer. Since A&M doesn’t require students to live on campus their freshman year, many students find it hard to meet people and thus feel isolated in an apart ment.” Susan Haynes, a sophomore biology major, lived in an apart ment her first semester here, but moved into Hughes Hall during the spring of her fresh man year. Haynes didn’t have a car and said that getting to and from school was just too much trouble. “The two biggest advantages of living in the dorm are meet ing people and the conve nience,” Haynes said. “But I'll probably move off my senior year; I’m tired of the dorm,” she said.
