Merchant: Motorcycle, moped b«
riders often unfamiliar with laws***
By Jamie Russell
Reporter
Mopeds and motorcycles are as
much a part of college life as back
packs and calculators, but many op
erators of these trendy two-wheelers
are unfamiliar with the laws govern
ing their use.
Joe Fisher, owner of University
Cycles, says students don’t under
stand that Texas has two classifica
tions for two-wheeled vehicles.
Two- or three-wheeled vehicles
with a maximum speed of 30 mph
and an engine displacement of no
more than 50 cubic centimeters (ccs)
are classified by the Texas Depart
ment of Public Safety as mopeds.
Those capable of greater speeds or
that have a larger engine displace
ment are considered motorcycles.
“What these vehicles look like
style-wise has absolutely nothing to
do with anything,” Fisher says.
Besides a distinction in the vehi
cles’ physical variations, there are
differences in licensing procedures.
“Texas just got this moped classi
fication in the law a few years ago,”
state trooper Eddie Garmon says.
“They (motorcycles and mopeds)
used to be classified under the law as
‘motor driven vehicles,’ but because
of all the types of scooters available
today, a law was passed segregating
mopeds and the restrictions cover
ing them.”
To obtain a moped license in
Texas, the DPS requires that a per
son be at least 15 years old and com
plete a two-part written test.
A motorcycle license restricted to
the operation of vehicles with an en
gine displacement of 125 ccs or less
may be obtained by 15-year-olds
who also complete a riding test. The
New shop offers students
chance to lease scooters
Lands
By Audrey Cardenas
Reporter
Many Texas A&M students may
find a solution to their transporta
tion problems with the help of
Scooter Brown’s, a new motor
scooter shop in College Station.
Differing from other cycle shops
in the Bryan-College Station area,
this one focuses on leasing scooters.
Students may lease Honda Spree
scooters for $49 per month and Ya
maha Razz scooters for either $59 or
$69 per, month, depending on which
type is leased.
Joe Fisher, owner of Yamaha Cy
cles, says, “There are a large number
of students who would like to have a
scooter, but can’t afford one. The
scooter leasing business will be quite
an advantage for them because it will
make scooters more affordable.”
For students, particularly those
from out of town, receiving a loan
from a bank can be difficult, espe
cially when the amount is less than
$ 1,500, Fisher says.
“A lot of kids who want scooters
have credit cards and are looking for
18 percent interest, hut for short
term loans, interest rates exceed 18
percent," he says.
At Scooter Brown’s, students are
able to lease the two-wheeled vehi
cles for a month, a semester, an aca
demic year, or exercise a rent-to-
own option, says Kenny Manning,
manager of Scooter Brown’s.
“A student can lease a scooter for
nine months, and at the end of that
time he can buy it (the Honda
scooter) for $250,’ - Manning says.
The Yamaha scooters also may be
bought at the end of the academic
year — $300 for the $59 lease and
$350 for the $69 lease.
Manning also says students who
lease a scooter for 18 months will
own the scooter at the end of the
leasing period.
Fred Brown, co-owner of Scooter
Brown’s, says insurance on the scoot
ers also is available on a monthly ba
sis through Dairyland County Mu
tual Insurance Co., which is
responsible for writing over half of
the motorcycle insurance in Texas.

A&M following recent trend
toward historic preservation
By Bridget Harrow
Reporter
A Texas A&M repository is join
ing a recent trend toward preserva
tion of historic buildings and land
marks.
The repository, established by the
Center for Historic Resources, is
seeking to collect materials pertain
ing to Texas’ “built” environment.
The built environment, as it is
called by architects, consists of his
toric structures, construction tech
nology, gardens, the natural land
scape and urban and rural develop
ment. The repository’s purpose is to
collect such materials as photo
graphs, maps and artifacts to help
reveal more about the built environ
ment.
Joan Rabins, assistant director of
the center, says she believes the re
pository is a great feature of A&M
and a focus for the state.
“We want to cover every avenue
related to this subject,” Rabins says.
“Right now, there is an impulse in
Texas toward historic preservation.
An east-side preservation project in
Bryan has identified some houses
there as historical landmarks, and
the scope may broaden. We already
n pt
rdoi
Dr. Gordon Echols, director of
the center, already has collected
some early photographs of Texas
buildings by Raiford Stripling. Stri
pling, dean of Texas restoration ar
chitects, worked on the System Ad
ministration Building and others on
campus in the 1930s.
“The repository will not
be collecting materials just
to save them but to make
them available for re
search.
—Joan Rabins, repository
assistant director
“The repository,” Rabins says,
“will not be collecting materials just
to save them but to make them avail
able for research — putting them in
a suitable order. We’ll be able to get
a researcher right to a specific collec
tion.”
An oral history program also will
be a part of the repository, she says.
It will consist of taped interviews of
Texas architects about their careers
and recollections of the built envi
ronment, she says.
Surveys are sent out to people
likely to have information or know
of the existence of materials having
to do with the built environment,
Rabins says. Most people know if
they give items to the repository,
those items will be better cared for,
she says.
“We have a controlled atmos
phere,” she says. “We control the
temperature, keep materials away
from sunlight and ultraviolet lights,
and place (the materials) in acid-free
boxes and folders.”
Since the repository was approved
only last fall, it is still in the drafting
stage, she says.
“We only have temporary space
right now; however, we are looking
for something with a little more el
bow room,” Rabins says. “And even
tually, we hope to pick out a histori
cal Texas building and have it
brought to campus.
“It will probably he one that might
have been destroyed otherwise. We
won’t remove one that has already
been recognized or preserved. We
are not in the business of messing up
the built environment, but restoring
it.”

Singing Cadets to tour Europe this summer
Cadets will

By Amy Roberts
Reporter
Texas A&M University’s Singin
pet form in Germany, England am
May 17 through June 5.
“We want to promote A&M to gain a little
more world recognition,” said Mike Mickam, a
singing cadet. “We thought this would give peo
ple a better idea of what A&M is about since mu
sic reaches so many people.”
The Singing Cadets will sing American gospel
songs and spirituals, folk songs and Dixieland
jazz during the first half of the show, he said.
“The second half of the show is dedicated to
George Gershwin since he was such a recognized
American musician,” Mickam said.
They also will sing school songs, including
“The Spirit of Aggieland” and “The Aggie War
Hymn.”
But spreading the spirit of A&M is expensive.
Robert Boone, director of the Vocal Music
Program for 27 years, said the choral group has
to raise $112,000 to cover the cost of the trip.
Each cadet must pay $250 and raise $ 1,000.
The Singing Cadets are selling $10 coupons as
a fund raiser. By random selection, on May 1,
one donor receives an opportunity to go on the
trip.
The Singing Cadets also are giving a benefit
concert during graduation exercises to raise
money toward the trip.
Boone said the 71 members will go to Europe,
even if they do not manage to raise all of the
money.
Boone said the group will give ten official per
formances in the three countries, but they will
also sing unofficially on street corners and other
public places.
The Singing Cadets will arrive in London and
immediately travel across the English Channel to
Germany, where they will visit Trier, Sal 1
Kaiserslautern and Saarbrucken.
The Singing Cadets will slay with three:
ent German families during their eight-dt
in Germany, Boone said.
Mickam said, “We will get a bettertasted
man culture because we will actually bees>
to it through the hosts.”
Boone said the cadets will give a special
mance in Saarlouis because of the celebratf
the Bicentennial of the U.S. Constitutioc
Saarland.
