^Hew dorm complex being built
thl Texas A&M campus has some
cM officials talking unofficially
Dut building a second parking ga-
re pn campus.
Bob Wiatt, A&M’s director of’ se-
rity and University Police, said a
:oncl parking garage, which could
^Haied close to an already ap-
ove<! new dorm complex in the
mmons area, is in “the basic dis-
ssiln stage.”
Wesley E. Peel, vice chancellor for
;iliies planning and construction,
d he has heard talk about a second
rking garage at A&M, but he said,
lothing official is being done at
is time.”
Wiatt said Robert Smith, vice
esic ent for fiscal affairs and oper-
ons, unofficially is looking at
ndi ig for the project.
“There is a realization that you’re putting 900 students
in that area and they’re taking 300 spaces away. ”
— Boh Wiatt, director of security and University police
Smith could not be reached di
rectly for comment. He did, how
ever, relay a message to The Battal
ion Thursday through a secretary in
his office, stating that “there are no
official plans underway for a second
parking garage.”
“They’re looking at trying to get
funding for perhaps a 1,000-car
parking garage in that area,” Wiatt
said.
He added that all work being
done on the new parking garage is
“simply unofficial.”
The Board of Regents must ap
prove a building project before offi
cial work can begin, Wiatt said.
Funding for a second garage
probably would not come from its
usual source, the University Police
Department, Wiatt said.
“We have to determine how we
can get the funding, because up to
this point it’s been the UPD (Univer
sity Police Department) that has had
to fund all revenue for everything —
including the purchasing of the in
tracampus shuttle buses, the
grounds maintainance people who
maintain and work on the lots, and
pay for the parking garage,” Wiatt
said. “Mv funding is goine to be

Hospital officials say
health center director
in stable condition
By Mark Gee
Staff Writer
University Health Center Director
Claude B. Goswick Jr., who was ad
mitted to St. Joseph Hospital and
Health Center Wednesday because
of a dizzy spell, is in stable condition
and resting comfortably in the coro
nary care unit, hospital spokesman
Edith Hill said.
Goswick told his son, Ben Gos
wick, that he is ready to go home but
he has to stay for more tests. “It’s like
they’ve got him in a dentist’s chair,”
Ben Goswick said. “Now that they’ve
got him, he’s just going to have to
grin and bear it.”
Goswick is undergoing a cardiac
catheterization test today to deter
mine what heart damage, if any, he
sustained in the episode. Goswick re
ceived a favorable report from his
cardiologist, Dr. Gordon Mitchell,
Ben Goswick said.
Goswick, who had a heart attack
10 years ago, had the dizzy spell
about 3 p.m. Wednesday, said Mary
Scott, assistant nursing coordinator
at the health center. She said Gos
wick became dizzy after a busy
morning. When he didn’t improve,
Dr. Margaret Shelton administered
aid. The A&M Emergency Care
Team took him to the hospital.
While Goswick recuperates, Dr.
John M. Moore, a health center phy
sician, will serve as director.

rather severely depleted, so Mr.
Smith is looking at some alternate
forms of funding.”
The proposed dorm complex will
remove around 300 spaces from the
Commons area. There are currently
no formal plans to replace those
spaces or build new spaces for new
residents, Wiatt said.
If the second parking garage is
built, Wiatt said he foresees it being
for students only.
Wiatt said the combination of los
ing 300 spaces and the future addi
tion of new dorm residents has in
creased the pressure to find parking
spaces for students at A&M.
At the November meeting of the
Board of Regents, the regents didn’t
address the problems the new dorm
complex would cause in regards to
the parking situation, Wiatt said.
“Nothing was said at that time
about parking and that’s where I be
came very upset,” he said.
Wiatt said he doesn’t yet know
what the students parking in the 300
lost spaces will do, and he said that
bothers him.
“That would be my concern,”
Wiatt said. “There is a realization
that you’re putting 900 students in
that area and they’re taking 300
spaces away. Assume that maybe out
of 900 you could have 600 (or) 700
with cars . . . there is a deficit of
1,000 right there.”
A&M has suffered through a loss
of parking spaces over the years, and
Wiatt said this has caused him to
look for alternatives.
“It’s just a constant erosion of
parking space because those are the
available spaces to put buildings on,”
Wiatt said. “But then eventually
there is a crunch on what are you
going to do with all the people who
used to park in those lots.”
Wiatt said the situation on campus
calls for something to be done be
fore the dormitory complex is built.
But he said there are some open
spaces that just won’t be used for
parking.
“We don’t have any plans for, say,
putting parking lots in front of the
system building or on the golf
course. That’ll never be done.”

STUDENTS NOT EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
Under the Tax Reform Act students claimed as dependents come un
der special rules. A return must be filed if (1)his/her income from
wages is more than $2540 or (2)more than $500 if it, includes income
from any source other than wages. Example: You make $800 from a
part time job and have $10 from a savings account, you must file a re
turn and pay taxes. Under the new laws even scholarships and
fellowships are now considered taxable income, and only certain por
tions may be subtracted as an adjustment. Students not claimed as de
pendents must file if (1)single and earning more than $4440 and (2)if
married $7560. Even if you owe no taxes, you should file to get a re
fund of any income tax withheld from those wages.
H&R Block is familiar with all the new tax laws. Our rates are rea
sonable— for an unmarried student who qualifies for a 1040EZ the fee
is only $15, other 1orms start at $20. Don’t face the new tax laws
alone— let our trained professionals at Sears Post Oak Mall help you.
