Ditch planned
for golf course
By JAN PERRY
Reporter
The addition of a new mam
moth water hazard along the
15th hole of the golf course will,
ironically, be welcomed by both
golfers and grounds mainte
nance personnel alike.
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-

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

That statement of confidence
has helped make us Americas
most popular haircutters.
Which only goes to prove that
when you give people exactly
what they want, they just keep
coming back for more.
And a Supercut is always $8.‘

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 drainage ditch will be used

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

who have suffered from too
little socialization and too much
commuting.
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.
Haynes said she didn’t like
eating in Sbisa Dining Hall, so
