Zoning permit decisions cause protest . nine gra< staf f mer CHRIS- By LORRAINE TIAN Reporter The decisions to table a site permit and deny a rezoning permit caused two applicants to leave the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting upset Thursday night. Pastor Gordon Knight ap peared at College Station City Hall to request a conditional use permit and a site permit for the renovation of Rock Prairie Bap tist Church. The commission approved the conditional use permit but tabled the site per mit because of Mary Arnold McCulloch. ATTENTION Summer Students! The summer SHUTTLE BUS service for this year has been RESTRICTED to a few choice apartment properties. These few properties have shown enough concern for the needs of their residents to provide substantial subsidy to the shuttle bus program to enable them to offer this service EXCLUSIVELY to their residents. These are the ONLY properties that will have bus passes to issue, and any other properties advertising that they are "on the shuttle bus route" are doing so with the knowledge that their residents WILL NOT be allowed to ride the bus.

Knight planned to divide the interior into classrooms and to build a connection from the one room church to the main church. McCulloch felt this would destroy the historical sig nificance of the room. She in tended to apply for a historical marker. “It’s an asset to have this his torical marker,” she said. The question over the church receiving a historical marker caused the commission to table the site permit. Knight appeared upset. He said this decision would destroy the construction workers’ schedule. Carl Matthews also appeared upset as he left the meeting. He left after his rezoning requests were rejected.

The 463-year-old marble statue of “Christ Carrying the Cross” must remain in Rome, at least until experts from Italy’s Central Restoration Institute decide if it can travel without risk, said Minister for Cultural Heritage Nino Gullotti. “I can’t say when we will take a definitive decision, I want to check everything and have all the’ experts’ opinions again,” Gullotti told reporters. Italian authorities are highly sensitive to artwork leaving the country. On Jan. 30, Italy re jected a request for the Riace Bronzes, two ancient Greek statues of nude warriors, to travel to Los Angeles for the Summer Olympics. Gullotti said flatly that re quests to borrow Donatello’s statue of David and Beato An gelico’s painting of the Annun ciation for the New Orleans ex hibit “had not even been considered.” The six-foot six-inch statue by Michelangelo was scheduled to leave Rome on a Pan Am flight for exhibit in a pavilion of Vatican art at the World’s Fair to be opened by President Rea gan, Italian newspapers re ported. A Vatican spokesman said Archbishop Philip Hannan of New Orleans originally ap proached the Vatican about the statue but Holy See officials ad vised him to apply to the Italian government, which owns the piece.
