l W" ^ The Battalion bASE Regents Continued from Page 1 The Board approved preliminary plans for the child care center, which was designed by Patterson Architects in Bryan, and gave Thompson the right to award a con struction contract for the center in November. The cen ter should be open for Fall 1998. Fred Patterson, princi pal owner of Patterson Architects, presented the design of the child-care center, which will be residential-style and will have fenced play areas behind it. Patterson said there will be classroom areas inside Bonfire Continued from Page 1 “The distance to cut site bothered us a little, but we are taking precautionary measures to ensure eveiyone’s safety,” he said. “We strongly discourage people riding in the back of trucks, and anyone who shows up to cut in the back of a truck will have to walk into the site.” Gallemore notified the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Brazos County Sheriff Department and the Hearne and Bryan Police Departments about students traveling to and from cut site. “We’ve asked these agencies to increase surveillance on the route to cut site,” he said. “There will not be any leeway, and tickets will be given to anyone speeding. Our main focus is student safety, and that’s why we’re taking all of these measures.” Last year an A&M student was killed on Highway 6 when a pickup truck returning to A&M from Hearne veered off the road and flipped twice. The student who died and seven other students were riding in the bed of the truck. Gallemore said students may be reminded to be safe because of the accident last year. “This year, we’re in a lot better situation because every body has an increased awareness of the accident that for three-, four- and five-year-olds and infants. He said the estimated construction cost for the 10,340- square foot building is $800,000. He said the center will be able to serve 118 full-time and 40 part-time students and will include room for future expansion. The Board awarded a construction bid to R.M. Dud ley Construction Co., Inc. of College Station for the Easterwood Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting Facility. The project will cost $2 billion and is funded by a Fed eral Aviation Administration Grant and Texas A&M. A construction bid of under $2 million for two grass football practice fields was awarded to WM. Klunkert, Inc. of Bryan. happened last year,” he said. “Instead of acting in a reac tive manner, we’re taking a more proactive stance with safety precautions — that’s always more productive.” As another safety measure, a rest stop will be set up south of Hearne for students traveling back to campus from cut site. “Students can stop at the rest stop to stretch their legs or get something to drink,” Gallemore said. “It’s all provided by us.” Lewis said safety is the focus of Bonfire activities. “We want to keep everyone safe this year at cut,” he said. “We’ll be holding some cut classes before each cut for those who are inexperienced in swinging an ax. It’s important to know how to take a tree down safely.” Alex Cabanas, a senior redpot and a finance major, said the 50-acre cut site has advantages over other sites that were considered. “Despite the distance, this site has it all,” he said. “We already know the terrain, there are no big creeks running through the property and no real hazards. The wood is great and we already know the owner — that’s a big bonus.” Cabanas said most preparations for first cut Oct. 4 are finished. “The load area and parking were already taken care of from last year,” he said. “Now we’re preparing the tractor paths and securing equipment.” Weather Outlook THURSDAY FRIDAY Partly cloudy i Partly cloudy TT ’ Partly cloudy High: 91° ' !
