Regents grant contract
for work at Easterwood
By Amy Couvillon
Staff Writer
The Texas A&M Board of Re
gents awarded a $869,464 contract
Monday for the construction of a
taxiway and an aircraft parking
apron for the proposed north termi
nal at Easterwood Airport.
Bandas Industries Inc., of
Temple, received the contract,
which includes construction of light
ing for the taxiway and parking
apron, as well as an access road con
nection, Bandas spokesman Jeanie
Johnson said.
Bandas will attend a pre-construc
tion conference at A&M Feb. 6,
Johnson said.
H.E. Raisor, A&M manager of
aviation services, said A&M received
$750,000 from the Federal Aviation
Administration early this month for
this part of the improvements at Eas
terwood.
Phase I of the north terminal pro
ject has two parts, Raisor explained.
The First part, which is nearly
completed, was contracted to Young
Brothers Inc., and includes utilities
and an entrance road from F.M. 60,
at the former location of the Quon-
set Huts.
“We’re working toward a Final in
spection on that (phase I, part 1)
now,” Raisor said.
The contract awarded Monday to
Bandas was for phase I, part 2, Rai
sor said.
The January FAA funds will be
used for this part — the apron, taxi
way and access road connection.
Funds also will come from Bryan,
College Station, Brazos County and
A&M.
The new terminal building itself
— still in the planning stage — is
part of phase II, Raisor said.
This Final phase also includes an
east road and the automobile park
ing area.
A contract should be awarded for
phase II sometime next year, he
said, and the entire north terminal
project should be completed in the
spring of 1989.
“The new terminal will bring
added growth to the Brazos Valley,”
Raisor said.
He said the north area terminal
will be much larger than Eas-
terwood’s existing terminal, and it
will be used for commercial flights.
“The first one is very much too
small,” he said. “It’s overcrowded; it
doesn’t handle even the current air
traffic.”
James Lawson, a taxi driver at
Easterwood, says the terminal tends
to get crowded on busy days, and he
can see a need for a larger facility.
“I’ve seen it so packed you can
hardly get through,” said Lawson,
who has operated an airport taxi
service at Easterwood since the early
1970s.
When the new terminal is com
pleted, Raisor said, the old terminal
will be converted to a fixed-base op
eration for general aviation, which
includes military, business and pri
vate air traffic.
3 resign, 1 fired in Dallas jail sex scandal
DALLAS (AP) — Three Dallas
County detention center officers re
signed and a fourth was fired after
all admitted to giving cigarettes to
female inmates in exchange for sex
ual favors, officials said.
Jim Ewell, a spokesman for the
Dallas County SherifFs Department,
said an investigation into the alleged
activities began Jan. 17 after jail offi
cials heard rumors among inmates
about the sexual activity.
Ewell said Lt. John Slovak, a
watch commander, saw a jailer and a
female prisoner enter an elevator
and was curious because the officer
was not assigned to escort prisoners.
Slovak told investigators he took
another elevator to the second floor
and waited for about 12 minutes for
the jailer and his prisoner to arrive.
Ewell said the prisoner told inter
nal affairs officers she had inter
course with the jailer in exchange
for cigarettes. She also told investi
gators she had sex with another offi
cer on March 3.
The incidents took place at the
Lew Sterrett Justice Center, the cen
ter of the county jail system, and in
volved 24 different women on 25
separate occasions, officials said.
No charges have been filed
against the officers who resigned
Sunday and Monday, officials said.

embers of Alpha Gamma Rho,
an agriculture fraternity at Texas
A&M, have become adoptive par
ents, of sorts, to a stretch of Well
born Road south of College Station.
■Through the Texas Department
of Highways and Public Transporta
tion Adopt-A-Highway program,
the fraternity pledged to keep a two-
mile section of F.M. 2154 litter-free,
stil ting south of the College Station
rify limits.
■Brad Goodbread, Alpha Gamma
Rho public relations co-chairman,
said the group is committed to com
munity service and wants to be more
than a stereotypical fraternity.
H“I think fraternities ought to do
things that aren’t expected of them,
like adopting a highway,” Good-
bread said.
■Twenty-five Alpha Gamma Rho
members and pledges spent the first
Satuiday in December collecting
trash along their section of Wellborn
Road and will repeat the cleanup
twice each semester.

Johnny Wilson said the stretch of

Transportation office.

man Delmar Smith works closely
with groups that volunteer for the
program.

road was a long two miles for the
pledges.
“They thought two miles was a lot
shorter than that,” Wilson said.
“They thought they went 20 miles.”
The Adopt-A-Highway program

trash can cover more ground be
cause they can skip sections of road
maintained by volunteers. Smith
said.
Five organizations in Brazos
County have joined the program
and Smith said two more plan to enl
ist soon.

As of Dec. 31, 850 groups
statewide were a part of the cam
paign and more than 1,500 miles of
roadway were being kept clean by
volunteers.
John Cagle, a Highway Depart
ment public information officer,
said the purpose of the program is to
get people involved with the litter
problem.
“It’s a snowball effect,” Cagle said.
Volunteers talk about their
cleanup efforts to friends and fam
ily, and soon everyone in a commu
nity gets to know about the problem
with roadside litter, he said.
Goodbread said getting up close
and personal with trash certainly
changed a few attitudes among
members of Alpha Gamma Rho.
“I talked with some of the pledges
when we got done and they said they
weren’t going to litter anymore,” he
said.
