UTA is trying once again to quietly close down the Bowling & Billiards! This is a link to an article published today in the Shorthorn:

They are trying to hide this fact behind a “renovation.” By “renovation” they mainly intend to move all of the Student Governance offices to the current location of the Bowling & Billiards. They claim that it will mean more exposure for “important student services”, but this comes at a cost of losing the only real place to hang out on campus!
Do not be surprised if they contend that they will move the pool tables so they can still be used by students. This still means they are going to close the B&B, and the B&B staff works very hard to keep both the pool tables and the bowling lanes in very good shape. If anyone has ever seen the pool tables in Arlington hall they know how bad of shape these tables will be in without proper care.
We need to fight this in order to save the Bowling & Billiards!

| The Arlington City Council approved a contract with American Traffic Solutions on Jan. 9 to place red light cameras at the 63 intersections with the highest numbers of red light violators.In the last five years, more than 1,500 people have been injured due to someone running a red light in Arlington according to Steve Evans, Arlington Police Department management services director.
“We hope for a 25 percent reduction,” Evans said.
The department hopes to have 10 cameras up at intersections in the next 60 days, starting with the intersections owned by the city. The construction at intersections owned by the state will be delayed until action is approved by the Texas Department of Transportation.
…
The first three intersections to undergo camera construction are Matlock Road and Arbrook Boulevard, South Green Oaks Boulevard and Collins Street, and South Green Oaks Boulevard and Matlock Road, all owned by the city of Arlington. |
