Also, if the city does de cide to establish a library, he says, it should be unique and not duplicate services of fered by A&M. James Bond, an attorney, says the city needs to posture itself to provid ing ammenittes that businesses ex amining the area would want. A new degree of cooperation between Col lege Station, Bryan and the Univer sity must be reached, he says, if com mon goals are to be reached. Bond says his background as a lawyer makes him want to know the facts, and therefore he would ask the right questions when important council decisions are made. The council should always remember that the city does not belong to the councilmen, but to the people, Bond says. On the subject of bicycle lanes, Bonds says that major thorough fares should carry vehicular traffic and not have special lanes for bi cycles. Also on the ballot in College Sta tion is a questionnaire whicn asks voters w hether they would support a 2 cent increase per $100 valuation of their property to finance the con struction of a city library. Gollege Station doesn’t have a library and has relied on A&M’s library to pro vide services. Of Bryan’s five positions open. Places 1,3 and 5, only Place 4 has more than one contender. This elec tion, Marvin Tate is unopposed for mayor; Hank McQuaide is unop posed for Place 1; Ben Hardeman is unopposed for Place 3 and Helen Chavarria is unopposed for Place 5. Place 4, vacated by Marvin Tate when he decided to make a bid for the mayor of Bryan, has two con tenders: C.P. Vass is a public relations offi cer with First Bank & Trust says he is making his bid on personal integrity rather than a specific set of goals. Vass, who has lived in Bryan for 40 years, has been a coach and a high school principal. Bill Brown, personnel director for Texas Instruments, says his man agerial skills would help him manage the city. His main concerns are im proving the city’s streets, involving citizens in the city government and speeding up projects undertaken by Bryan. Both cities also have several posi tions open on their school boards. Place 7 on the Bryan School Board- has two candidates: Jack Koenig and Jerry Gaston. Three candidates are running for Place 3: Switzer L. Dea- son, Pete Palasota, Howard Cargill and Connie Weedon. Place 6 on the school board has two candidates: E. N. Rutherford and James Stegall. In College Station, Place 1 on the school board has three contenders: Rob Schleider, Donald Smith and Jim Raatz. Place 2 is wanted by two candidates: Ronnie Fox and Ken neth Matthews. Place 4 has Walter Wendler and Larry Lindler as candi dates and Place 6 has Bobby Wil liams, Jane Hughey and Chester Darcey as candidates. lawmakers start scuffle ear Gov.

Hackney, 33, is 5-foot-9 and 165 pounds. Washington, 43, would not say how tall he is. “I’m a lot taller than Clint Hack ney,” Washington said. “But he knew that when he stuck his finger in my face.” "It was just a little miscommunica- tions problem,” said Beaumont Rep. Mark Stiles, a 250-pounder who stepped in and broke up the alterca tion. The scuffle occurred near the tourist information desk on the first floor, not far from Gov. Mark White’s office. The argument that led to the skir mish concerned whether Hackney had asked for an attorney general’s opinion concerning the city of Hous ton’s minority contracts ordinance. “I have not asked for that attorney general’s opinion, and I am not going to,” Hackney said later. ore OFFER! ig and logo, v/l L XI _ VISA pf.
