SG radio begins fall programming

By DEBBIE KILLOUGHStaff Writer

Student Radio will begin 24-hour broadcasting Sept. 15 with new equipment, expanded program­ming and a new F.M. cable fre­quency of 89.1.

“Our programming will encom­pass areas of radio programming not presently offered in the Bryan- College Station area. These include progressive country, progressive jazz, classical and non-Top 40,” said Scott Sherman, station manager.

The station will also broadcast news, something not done in the past year. Newscasts will be at 5 p.m., 7 p.m. and 11 p.m.

Student volunteers will work with The Battalion staff to provide the news. The actual broadcast will be phoned from The Battalion office to the station.

Keeping the station open re­quires about $150 a month. This will be funded by advertising. How­ever, there will be only eight adver­tisements per day, one every hour from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. Sherman said the station just wanted enough money to pay for monthly bills such as rent and utilities.

Over 55 people have shown an interest in working with the radio station, which caused Sherman to remark that he had enough disc joc­keys this year “to fill each shift

twice.Sherman explained the station

never had a hard time keeping people on the staff during the past two years, but that previously in­ferior equipment had caused many problems.

“The equipment was terrible. The turntables felt as if they had lead weights on them,” Bill Hill, one of last year’s disc jockeys, said.

With $2,000 from last year’s Stu­dent Government budget, all new equipment has been installed, and the entire radio station has been re­wired. Nearly $1,100 of that was spent to buy a new modulator- stereo generator.

The working situation is strictly voluntary at Student Radio. Sher­man said the staff is paid, “Nothing, and we would pay them less if we could get by with it.”

The original A&M radio station was started in 1952. It was sold in 1959 due to the possibility of gov­ernment taxation. Just a few months before, the station had bought $25,000 worth of equipment. The University sold the station and the equipment for $32,000.

Sherman is excited about the $2,000 that has been spent for the renovation. He says he doesn’t even mind that the station is in the back of Bill Moon’s Barber Shop in Ridgec­rest Shopping Center.

Marrieds’ housing left to community

By AMY ROWLETTStaff Writer

Texas A&M University expects the community to come up with needed additional housing for its married students.

A university spokesman, who declined to be iden­tified, said Thursday that Phases II and III of the plan­ned married-students housing expansion have been shelved for the time being.

Of course, there’s no more room in the existing hous­ing.

All of the 908 apartments for married students on campus are filled, Ken Nicolas, director of student apartments, said.

The oldest of the apartments are scheduled to be torn down, beginning in May.

Nicolas speculated that the University is depending on the commerical builders to provide adequate hous­ing.

Apartment housing for this fall has been filled since December 1974. Nicolas estimates 180 more people applied for housing but were turned down.

He expects to have 139 vacancies by this December. Those planning to vacate, however, have the option of extending their leases. Nicolas said that 40 per cent usually do.

Presently the apartment complex includes College View Brick, 84 units; Old College View, 287; Hensel Terrace, 252; College Avenue, 226; and Southside (south of Kyle Field), 59.

Executive Vice-President A. R. Luedecke said PhaseII expansion includes 315 additional units, with PhaseIII being a “little smaller. ” The plans were designed two years ago, however, and Luedecke says they are “probably out of date.

A&M student enrollment is expected to reach 25,000 this semester, and Nicolas feels that the surrounding community population needs to be 125,000 to amply accommodate student housing needs.

“College Station, Bryan and the outlying small towns don’t even amount to 100,000, but it’s difficult for any­one to determine what the needs will be until they become pressing,” he said.

Dodge those bikes!By DON MIDDLETON

Staff Writer

Unless you decided that it wasn’t worth it to get out of bed and attend classes this year, you have undoub­tedly noticed the large number of bicycles being used by Aggies who do attend class.

Freshman pedestrians may feel as though they are taking their lives into their own hands as they walk down Spence Street to Zachry En­gineering Center at eight o’clock in the morning.

They soon learn that a bicycle is an all-terrain vehicle not restricted to the street nor bound by traffic regulations.

Transfer students who hoof it around campus probably regret their decision to change schools as they dodge ten-speeds under the elevated walk at the Memorial Stu­dent Center.

But battle-wise upper classmen can be seen everywhere nimbly av­oiding head-on collisions and doling out fatherly advice to mounted com­rades.

If you ’re fortunate enough to have narrowly escaped disaster up to this point, here are some pointers to keep in mind during the daily strug­gle for supremacy of the sidewalks.

First. Keep a sharp eye out for bicycles approaching from the front. As the two-wheeled terror nears, make your decision for evasive ac­tion parly. Know which way you’re going to go. When the moment comes make your move without hesitation.

Second. Realize at all times that

the bicycle has the obvious advan­tage, being able to leap curbs and make amphibious assaults on mud puddles. However, large trees and automobiles, especially those with personalized license plates, are con­sidered relatively safe shelters.

Third. If you are taken by sur­prise from the rear or either flank — don’t panic. The best procedure is to hold your ground and force the bicyclist to go into the maneuver known as “the wobble.” Alternative action includes screaming at the top of your lungs, wildcatting or pray­ing.

Fourth. If at all possible avoid the

WASHINGTON — Former President Richard M. Nixon has ag­reed to turn over to Senate inves­tigators tapes and documents relat­ing to Chile and domestic intelli­gence gathering. White House counsel Philip Buchen said Thurs­day.

The Senate intelligence commit­tee “will be furnished those docu­ments which relate to the sub­poenas” issued last month, Buchen said following a meeting with com­mittee members. “This will be con­ducted in short order,” he added.

Chairman Frank Church, D-Idaho, called the agreement, which is still subject to formal court

MSC, C. Rollie White Coliseum, Sbisa, Kreuger-Dunn Commons and the Academic Building during passing periods, at noon and shortly before a thundershower.

Finally. Any good Aggie will make the best of a bad situation. Encounters with bicycles can be turned from a brush with death into a pleasant sightseeing tour. Particularly since halter-tops came into style for warm weather.

Armed with this invaluable in­formation, no student should feel intimidated when accosted by hordes of Huffy’s, battalions of BMA’s or scores of Schwinns. Good luck.

approval, “a good-faith effort to pro­vide the committee the papers it needs.”

Under the agreement, which was worked out Wednesday among lawyers for Nixon, the White House and the Senate committee, the former president’s attorneys will search the files to determine what documents and tapes the committee should have. Last week Church in­sisted that his investigators be al­lowed to determine for themselves what documents they needed.

Vice-chairman John Tower, R-Tex., said the agreement re­moved the possibility of a lengthy court battle that could have further
