Stations Convert When Gas Gone
Many gas stations that were forced to close because of the energy crisis have been converted to uses other than petroleum marketing.
Campus Motor Mart on 23rd Street Was Once a Gulf Station
In Lawnance, a Gulf station on 6th Street has been converted to a Peter Pan Ice Cream store. Another Gulf station on 23rd Street has become the Campus Motor Mart. A second Gulf station is at the shop at the empty Texaco station at 23rd and Louisiana streets are being completed.

Casselman said he had been informed by Messer that ticket prices would go up regardless of the allocation because, Casselman speculated, of a $50,000 debt that the athletic department has for the east addition of Memorial Stadium.
"The senate will have quite a reaction," he said. "There could be a political backlash and people might blame the senate for the rise in prices. The students were shocked that it has been underfunded as well as the Women's intercollegiate Sports Association."
Messer said he hadn't predicted a $2 increase in ticket prices because of the stadium expansion debt, but because of inflation.

"I think the big sale of stations is over," Armstrong said. "Oil companies are having second thoughts about selling their small ones that they can get more gas allocations."
"Service stations have been converted to dry cleaning stores, package liquor stores, fast food operations, motor cycle and used car dealerships," Armstrong said.
