Trinity Meadows holds
Tarlejon Day today
By Julie Grider
Editor in Chief
Trinity Meadows Racetrack in Weatherford is
hosting Tarleton Day today, in which 2 percent of the
track's handle (total earnings for the day) will benefit
Tarleton's equine program.
Tarleton Day at the racetrack will be an approved
event by the Texas Racing Commission. Each year,
Trinity Meadows racetrack is required to designate
three days of the racing season to a non-profit organi-
zation, racetrack officials said.
One of these sponsorship days is set aside for
programs in which students and the future of the equine
industry in Texas are involved. This is the category in
which Tarleton was accepted as recipient of the funds.
Track owners Jimmy Bradley, Jack Johnson and
Jack Lenavitt accepted Dr. Dennis McCabe's letter of
application for the event which was sent last April.

Texans nail down first big win 56 - 54
By Micliael Marbaeh
Sports Editor
With just 45 seconds remaining and the Texans up
by two, the Concordia Bulldogs maintained posses-
sion looking for the last second shot. But the shot could
be heard around the world as the shot that never was,
as the Texans snuffed any last second life out of the
Bulldogs by not allowing a shot
It was great defense and ball control that gave the
Texans their season opener. And it didn't come against
some rinky dink basketball team with out a cause, it
came against a team tliat saw the national playoffs last
A team that returned four starters arid only
season.
SlttBimeeae^hTuy,
losing to last years eventual national champions by just
three points.
The Texans of Tarleton State grabbed their season
opener by two points giving the fans, the coaches and
themselves a taste of what can be expected this season
from this great basketball team.
To give you a perspective of the pushing and
picking game it was, only 20 points total had been
scored by both teams in the first five full minutes of the
game. Both teams were fighting and clawing for
points, but the Texans added the knock-out punch 56-
54.

City adds to
TSU parking
problems
By Kelly Boren
Staff Writer
As the parking saga continues...
Stephenville City Council is discussing whether
or not to have restricted parking on all of the streets
within a four block radius of the Tarleton campus. The
options being discussed are: no parking 8 am to 4
p.m., no parking any time and two hour-only parking.
The city is also speaking of doubling the fine for
parking tickets to further influence people from park-
ing in no-parking zones.
This stemmed from complaints that have been
voiced by several residents in the area that they could
not park in front of their houses or get into and out of
their driveways.
City Manager Don Davis said that "Tarleton has
an adequate number of parking spaces but students find
in more convenient to park on the streeL..this is a plan
to force students to park on campus."
Discussion of the® new plans has caused a prob-
lem with many landloards who believe people will
move out of their rent houses if they are not allowed to
park in front of them.
There are several factors contributing to this prob-
lem. "Where you're running into your problem is the
people who live off the campus who choose not to buy
a sticker are the ones who are blocking the streets," said
Vice President for Business Affairs, Larry Bickett.
City police chief, Jim Wade said, "Every year as
the campus population rises, the parking problem moves
one more block out in an ever-widening circle."
Tarletoa and Mcllhaney streets are two_main
problematic streets. This is caused by of a lack of
parking for girls' dorrn residents. They all park on the
street instead of in the stadium lot when their lot fills up.
If these new parking regulations do pass, it will
force students to park in the white zone spaces behind
the football stadium, especially when the gravel pit
closes.
The Sav-On parking lot will not be reopened to
student use due to liability and the wear and tear caused
by use.
However, there is a new parking lot planned for the
near future. "We are in the process of putting in 250
spaces across from Wisdom Gym between Rhone
street and the gym, " said Dr. McCabe. Creating new
parking by the baseball field also came up.
The idea of a covered parking garage came up in
the council's meeting with university officials. Bickett
said that "neither our volume or our students' willing-
ness to pay was enough to substantiate the building of
a garage."
McCabe also stated that several years from now
the center of the campus will move and all of the park-
ing that seems far from the campus now will be closer
to the center of activity in a few years.
McCabe said that students would cooperate with
new rules if they were forced to but working with them
to find a solution that everyone could live with would
be best.

tion of the 75 th anniversary of the
United States Army Reserve Offi-
cers' Training Corp. This year also
marks the 74th anniversary of ROTC

"Over this period, the young men

the military and the country's aca-
demic community, dedicated to
providing leadership values, educa-
tional skills and military training to
participating college students. The
training prepares a cadet for the dual
role of a civilian career mid military
service, bringing capable young
people into the American labor force

officers into the Active Army, the
Army National Guard and the U.S.
Army Reserve.

ing the National Defense Act Since
then, the ROTC has grown from 28
to more than 353 fully participating
programs at colleges and universi-
ties across the country. More than
35,000 college students are currently
enrolled. Annually, more than 70
percent of the Army's newly com-
misioned Second Lieutenants are
