fits from this area’s rapid growth,
strengthen the planning function in
the city and do a thorough review of
the industrial park.
Gardner says the city should not
concentrate on attracting new busi
ness, but instead should work to give
He says College Station is a bicy
cle-oriented city and that, ideally,
the city should provide off-street bi
cycle lanes, particularly near the
University. 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.

“It’s not a big deal with me,” he
said. “But I want him and everyone
else to know that if you stick a finger
in my face, you do it at your own
risk."
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.
