Voters in Austin
decide to keep
airport location
Associated Press
AUSTIN — Voters decided
against moving the city’s airport and
approved creation of a new transit
authority during a citywide election
that attracted 29 percent of the reg
istered voters.
The decision on whether to move
Austin’s Robert Mueller Municipal
Airport was split throughout the
evening Saturday but the final tally
showed 40,139 votes against the air
port move and 39,391 votes for mov-
mgit.
Pike Powers, chairman of the air-
port task force which recommended
moving the airport, had predicted
the race would be extremely close.
The creation of the Capital Met
ropolitan Transportation Authority
in Austin passed overwhelmingly
with 46,059 votes opposed to 32,413
votes.
Several incorporated cities outside
of Austin voted against the authority
but the city of Austin was the critical
point in the proposal’s passage.
The tables turned on whether or
not to move the airport throughout
the evening and early morning,
sometimes being only 15 votes apart.
“The people finally decided,” said
John Cutwright, a member of the
task force who led the opposition for
the airport move. “I hope the land
speculators and city council will lis
ten to the people.”
He said a parking gargage and
noise abatement procedures are first
on the agenda to improve the pre
sent airport. Voluntary noise abate
ment procedures are in effect now,
but Cutwright hopes to institute ma-
nadatory procedures.
The airport task force had pro
jected the new airport to cost S353
million. The present airport was esti
mated to sell for $200 million and
another $60 million was to be sought
in federal aid, the task force said.
The additional $93 million
needed was to he financed through
revenue bonds, to be repaid out of
airport revenues.
Proponents of the airport move
listed noise elimination, safety con
cerns around the airport and air
space conflicts with nearby Bergs
trom Air Force Base as reasons for
the move.
The new airport was to be located
at an unspecified location outside
the city. The plan was to purchase
5,300 acres of land and have land
use controls of an additional 10,000
acres surrounding the new location.
The other major issue of the 20
propositions decided on Saturday
concerned the development of the
Capital Metropolitan Transporta
tion Authority which will serve Tra
vis and southern Williamson
County.
The new authority will take over
the present city bus system and plan
for possible light rail trolley lines or
other high-capacity transit service to
meet Austin’s growing needs.
Alan C. Wulkan, executive direc
tor of Capital Metro, said, “We had
sensed all along that we were being
favorably received because traffic is
clearly the number one issue in Aus
tin.”
Wulkan said the first steps for the
new authority are arranging for an
additional 1 cent sales tax to fund
the project and negotiate a transfer
of authority from the current bus
system.
He said Capital Metro, which will
have more than a $40 million bud
get, will begin its new service in July.
Opponents of the proposal said
the number of commuters which use
public transportation are too few for
such a large expenditure.

Perfect Tan Comes
To College Station*
The middle of winter is not
when most people think of getting
a tan, but area residents will have
to change their way of thinking
with the arrival of Perfect Tan.
Perfect Tan is a new state-of-the-
art, European-style tanning salon
that lets you keep a healthy,
golden tan all year long.
Nothing can boost your self-
image like a rich, natural tan.'A
beautiful tan is one of today’s
symbols of health and success.
Because a good tan makes you
better. Just imagine yourself at
that first spring party already
showing off a glowing tan! Perfect
Tan makes it easy.
Tanning salons have become
extremely popular in such Texas
cities as Dallas, Austin, and San
Antonio. Perfect Tan owners
Charles and Ann Teague are
sure indoor tanning will be just
as popular here when people
begin learning about its con
venience and safety.
“Perfect Tan uses exclusively
'St,
technologically advanced equip
ment available,” explains Charles
Teague. They virtually eliminate
the ultra-violet B (UV-B) rays of
light that can burn the skin, while
they enhance the UV-A light
which gently tans. Therefore, Sol-
aire beds are actually safer than
sunshine, but tan you much faster.
The result is a deep, lasting tan
that actually softens normal skin
and may help relieve some skin
problems like acne. A thirty-
minute session at Perfect Tan is
equal to three to five hours in the
sun, and there is no risk of burning
because trained technicians re
gulate your time in the tanning
beds. The Teagues guarantee that
anyone, no matter how fair-skin
ned, can safely get a rich, natural
tan from a sensibly planned series
of visits.
You are sure to enjoy every session
at Perfect Tan. The salon is at
tractively decorated in soft colors
accented by warm brass. Each
tanning room is completely private
with a Solaire bed, a chair, and a
storage area for your clothes
and other belongings. Restrooms
and a powder room are also
available for your convenience.
For working persons, conven
ience is one of the best reasons
for tanning at Perfect Tan Be
cause tanning sessions are pri
marily by appointment, Perfect
Tan will fit their schedule to
yours. You can make appoiftt-
yg&ents before or after work or
even during your lunch hour,
because you never have to sweat
or exert yourself. You can relax
by listening to the built-in AM-
FM stereo cassette system or just
nap while the Solaire bed tans
both sides of your body at the
same time.
The convenience of indoor tan
ning appeals to all types of people.
Whole families can protect them
selves from sunburn by getting a
tan before a tropical vacation or
ski trip. Students and faculty
alike enjoy preparing for Spring
Break at the beach. Perfect Tan
means never having to wait for
the sun to shine to get the look of
health and success.
The successful glow of a beau
tiful tan is surprisingly econo
mical. Perfect Tan has a variety of
payment plans. Your first visit is
complimentary between now and
February 1. After that you can
pay for individual sessions or
purchase an even better package
deal. A tanning package also makes
a great gift.
There is no excuse for not
shedding the ’blah’ of a pale,
winter complexion. Just stop by
Perfect Tan in the Post Oak Square
near Mariel’s Supermarket, or
call 764-2771 to arrange for your
free initial session.
