ND By STEVE WICK Battalion Staff Writer Paul Eggers, Republican gu bernatorial candidate, said here Sunday he wants to rid the state of “callous politicians” and put in people “who know what they are doing.” Eggers told an overflowing crowd at the Bryan American Legion Hall that the government is run like a private club that cares only about its members. “We have to get rid of the political hacks in Austin and bring in concerned people to help solve problems. We need some one in Austin who cares about people and their problems, Eg gers said amid applause. “PEOPLE ARE fed up with the waste that goes on in govern ment. People want a dollar’s worth of work from the govern ment for each dollar they pay the state.” Eggers attacked high state and federal taxes and blamed the Democratic party for wasteful practices. He spoke about the work Gov ernor Ronald Reagan, who cam paigns for Eggers, and Governor James Rhodes have done in Cali fornia and Ohio by introducing business practices in government. “We must put economic and business practices into govern ment. It is sinful for the gov ernment to spend money because they can get it easy from you.” “TEXAS NEEDS a change and we won’t get it from the stag nant one-party system. Let’s put some new blood into Texas. Let’s elect people who care about other people and their problems.” Eggers arrived at Easterwood airport where he thanked the crowd of approximately 100 per sons who showed up. Eggers listed education as his top priority when he took office. Texas is 31st in educational at tainment, 32nd in preventing dropouts, and 42nd in preventing gm illiteracy, according to his fig ures. Eggers said that by 1990 there will be 150-200 per cent more people attending college and peo ple want the opportunity to im prove themselves. “BETTER EDUCATION with better job opportunities would do more to combat poverty than wel fare could ever do.” On law enforcement, the can didate said there should be re gional training areas set up in places like Texas A&M and that training in such places be made mandatory for policemen. Eggers said the reason the Federal Bureau of Investigation is the finest police force in the U.S. is that it is the best trained. The only way Texas police of ficers can combat the rising crime rate, he concluded, is to give them better training. “It’s a disgrace that members of the police force must “moon light” to support their families. Law enforcement officer’s sal aries must be raised.” EGGERS explained that more effort should be made to rehabili tate criminals and to put them into meaningful jobs. At the reception given in the ballroom of the Ramada Inn, Eg gers said that the thing he en joyed about campaigning was the dialog and communication he was able to have with the people of Texas. Eggers added, “If I ever for get about the people, I don’t de serve to be governor.” Eggers said that the idea of letting the federal government solve everything was wrong and that there should be a break down of power, with more power going back to the states where these problems could be more cheaply and quickly solved. “Texas is ready for a change, for a candidate who cares about the people,” he concluded.

Paul Eggers, Republican guber natorial candidate, spoke at a re ception in the Ramada Inn and at an American Legion barbeque, here Sunday afternoon. Eggers’ voice cracked a little and his smile was forced, from a combination of hard campaigning and a severe cold. When talking to a group with out a prepared text, Eggers’ eyes would wander just above the heads of the crowd searching for words. The words were about change, a change from the old “sick” one- party system to a competitive two-party state. And the crowd loved what he told them. EGGERS BLAMED the Liquor Control Board scandal, among several others, on the present sys tem and warned of more to come unless he is elected. His line of kicking out “politi cal hacks” and returning to a gov ernment of the people sounded similar to that of a former Ala bama governor seeking a higher office. Although Eggers denies any flirtation with Wallace forces in the state, his aides admit that strong support has been indicated from the Wallace camp. LAW AND ORDER. “I don’t think the situation in Texas can deteriorate to that of the Northern cities, because we don’t have the massive ghetto problem which concentrates dis satisfied people in a confined area,” he said. Eggers outlined his proposals to counteract unrest to reporters as he slumped in a chair sipping ice water, recovering from the “warm reception” with the party faithful. “First I would seek to correct conditions that would make people dissatisfied,” Eggers started. “I would seek to bring private enter prise into the picture to get jobs for these people. “The dole system, which we have, just does not work.” EGGERS indicated that on just as high a priority would be edu cation for the people that need it. He listed figures to show how Texas is lagging in the education job. When a riot breaks out, Eggers said there is only one thing to do. “We must establish order im mediately.” Eggers pledged to be attentive to the desires of Texans and that he “would be a working governor and not sit in an ivory tower.” He listed several committees that he would chair, so that he migW; “keep his fingers on the pulse of Texas.” Eggers has made inroads into this traditionally Democratic ter ritory—so much so that local GOP leaders think they can put Brazos County in the Eggers column, come November. It remains mostly wishful think ing, but this time people might not pull the straight Democratic lever without second thoughts. November is still a month away and in that span of time wishful thinking could become fact. \ PARDNER You’ll Always Win The Showdown When You Get Your Duds Done | At CAMPUS CLEANERS This support probably does not result so much from Eggers’ and Wallace’s views being in accord, because they aren’t, but more be cause those desiring a change by way of Wallace on the national level would also hope to find change in Texas. AN AREA where Eggers dif fers with Wallace is the crowds that he draws. The people Sunday represented a cross-section of the community rather than from just one faction. The people who came to see Eggers were young and old, white and black, novices and experts. They ranged from young girls who could not stand cigar smoke to the ancients who chewed the stogies. All these factions got behind Eggers on the one issue he is beating over the heads of the Democrats.
