CS considering sign regulations
I
By MICHAEL CRAWFORD
Staff Writer
Signs within College Station city
limits were granted a temporary re
prieve Thursday night.
The College Station City Council
sent to committee an ordinance
which would regulate the height and
location of new signs and require old
ones to be brought into compliance.
Portable signs, signs painted on
rooftops and signs with flashing,
blinking or traveling lights would be
prohibited.
The Council cited businesses en
gaged in “an endless battle for a
ligher and more visible sign’’ and
the desire for an attractive commu
nity as the reasons for the ordinance.
The ordinance was unanimously
referred, to a special committee con
sisting of three Council and three
Planning and Zoning Commission
members. The committee must re
turn the ordinance with suggested
changes in one month.
A section of the ordinance prohib
ited political signs from carrying any
commercial message and those signs
larger than two square feet could not
be within 10 feet of a roadway. Can
didates would be required to deposit
money with the City Secretary in or
der to post signs and must remove
them within 10 days after an elec
tion. The city could charge up to
$20.00 per sign removed by city per
sonnel. The forfeiture would come
from the deposited money.
That part of the ordinance would
be difficult to enforce, said City At
torney Cathy Locke.

Portable sign.
“We visited with the Houston City
Attorney and they have a big prob
lem with political signs,” Locke said.
“They spend davs cleaning them
up.”
Council members were uncom
fortable with the time limit allowed
for existing signs to conform to the
new ordinance.
Off-premise signs and prohibited
signs would be required to conform
to the ordinance or be removed
within six months. Signs taller than
35 feet must meet the new codes
within two years.
Businesses affected by the pro
posed changes can request exemp
tion, but they must show that en
forcement of the regulations would
create a substantial hardship to the
applicant.

running for re-election to hear
his case, Jimmy Lynch takes
matters into his own hands.
Using only his wits, Jimmy sets
out to prove that you can fight
City Hall, and the entire city
rallies behind the mysterious
crusader known as Turk 182.
Hutton proves riveting as
Jimmy Lynch, a budding artist
pushed into action to fight for
his brother’s life—and justice.

New Wave David who brings a
crooked Goliath of a mayor to
his knees. New York thrills to
Timothy Hutton as Turk 182—
and so will you.

FEBRUARY MEANS “MISCHIEF”
FOR MOVIEGOERS
Doug McKeon is burning up—
he’s getting dangerously close
to college without hitting a
“home run” with any girl,
much less Kelly Preston, the
cutest one in the class. Let’s
face it—it’s the 1950’s, and
Doug would settle for a “sin
gle”. That is, until big city bud
dy (and screen newcomer) Chris
Nash arrives at school and bets
that he can help Doug hit a
grand slam.
A winning cast
The cast of “Mischief” is
particularly hip. Doug Mc
Keon is best known as the
“suck-face” kid in “On Gold
en Pond”. Kelly Preston, soon
to be seen in the upcoming
“Secret Admirer”, played the
“Please, Marilyn — it's been 18years!"
luscious damsel in distress in
“Metal Storm”. Catherine
Mary Stewart, who plays Chris
Nash’s girlfriend, was a smash
hit as the lead in both “Night
of the Comet” and “The Last
Starfighter”.
Major league mischief
Together, Doug, Kelly, Chris
and Catherine stir up more
rowdy “mischief” than little
Nelsonville, Ohio can take in
one year. We’re talking major
league tomfoolery here: motor
cycles on sidewalks, cars on
fire hydrants, parents on the
warpath, romance on the sly.
In short, all the things that
make life worth living before
college.
The cars may have changed,
but the action in the back seat
has not!
Kelly Preston: up to her ankles.
