■„ lousing offered for cadet recruitment

t Members of Texas A&M’s
' rps of Cadets can receive dis-
mted on-campus housing this
Timer in exchange for recruit-
..new cadets.
m and ^ rooms in one of the
major ^ ence halls on the Quadran-
e have been allocated for
Jets selected by their units or
tfits to participate in a sum-
errecruiting program.
These cadets will pay half as
uchrent in the summer as oth-
on-campus residents. This is
e second year the discount has
coffered to the cadets in
irge of recruiting.
Dr. Jan Winniford, assistant
vice president for Student Af
fairs, said the program and the
special on-campus housing pro
visions were approved because
the rooms on the Quad otherwise
would not have been occupied
during the summer.
Winniford said the program
is the only one like it on the
A&M campus.
Suzanne Lyons, a former Resi
dence Hall Association president
and senior geography major, said
offering the discounted Quad
rooms seems like a good idea.
“They are recruiting for the
Corps, which is a vital part of
the University,” Lyons said.
“Since the Corps dorms wouldn’t
have been used in the summer
anyway, I think it’s a fair deal.”
Lt. Col. Mark Satterwhite,
Corps recruiting coordinator,
said 80 cadets will be accepted to
the program, and more than 80
cadets have applied.
Satterwhite said movement
in the program invoRs assist
ing in the recruitingmocess by
talking to cadet prcpects and
attending summer c<tferences.
The discount on fusing, Sat
terwhite said, is iven in ex
change for their he>-
“It was an inentive to get
them to stay over ere,” he said.
Ron Sasse, diector of Resi
dence Life and Rusing, said re
duced on-camp® housing is a
means to encd r age participa
tion in the requiting process,
which require many cadets to
be at new stdent conferences
and orientatiA activities.
“It takes number of cadets
to help with/ie summer orienta
tions,” Sass/said.
"It takes a number of cadets to help with the sum
mer orientations."

Austin preserve receives federal approval
AUSTIN (AP) — The federal
emment Thursday approved
jermit for the country’s first
jjor urban habitat, a 30,000-
le, oak- and cedar-covered
?athat is home to eight en
tered species.
U.S. Interior Secretary
■jce Babbitt joined local offi-
Js at a ceremony issuing a
3. Fish and Wildlife Service
rmit for the Balcones
ayonlands Preserve.
Officials said the $160 mil-
iipreserve plan, which took
Jit years to forge, will protect
iangered species while allow-
i development to occur in the
itgrowing western part of
Travis County.
“We can find the balance. We
don’t have to select one or the
other. We don’t have to say
growth at the expense of the en
vironment, or protecting our nat
ural heritage at the expense of
development,” Babbitt said.
The plan, named for the bal
cony-like slopes on the southern
and eastern edges of the Texas
Hill Country west of Austin,
seeks to set aside a total of
30,428 acres.
Some environmentalists said
too little land was being ac
quired too late. They also are un
happy with the trade-off that
makes the plan attractive to
business — development being
allowed in habitat outside the
designated preserve, even if it
causes some loss of species.
About two-thirds of the pre
serve already has been set aside
through public and private ex
penditures. The permit autho
rizes Austin and Travis County
to stitch together about 9,000
more acres by offering the own-
ers of habitat outside the pre
serve boundary a potentially at
tractive option.
Such landowners will be able
to secure development rights by
paying fees of as much as $5,500
an acre. In return, they won’t be
subjected to federal enforcement
action or destroying species
habitatThe city and county will
use th fee money to buy more
presere land.
Th plan drew fire from Re-
pubLans, who said land use
woud be severely restricted
andquestioned the fees re-
quied for development.
fhe Balcones plan is an un-
cofititutional seizure of private-
pjjperty rights,” said Sen. Kay
Riley Hutchison, R-Texas.
“It seems the president and
ecretary Babbitt are more con
cerned about protecting birds
and bugs than about protecting
the rights of landowners,” added
Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas.
