A Democrat from Tennessee, Gore served 18 years in the Sen ate until his defeat in the 1970 elections. He is currently speak ing throughout the U. S., and was recommended to the Forum Com mittee by President Jack Wil liams. The rising cost of living, un checked inflation, and a large national deficit will make eco nomics an important issue next year, Gore said. “Vast efforts are being made in the White House—somewhat belatedly, I believe—to stimulate the economy. “President Nixon, however, says everything is all right,” Gould said. Since this is supposed to be a non-partisan speech, I will agree that everything is just fine. But, if we don’t do something quickly, it’s going to get worse.” Gore said the Democratic party is trying to build a political base to include workers, the poor, and the blacks, but the Republican party seems to be exploiting the racial situation. “I don’t think they can change their role in such a short time,” he added. Admitting that present eco nomic and political difficulties stemmed from Democratic policies under the Johnson administration, Gore insisted that President Nix on has made them worse. “How long do you have to be in office before you stop talking about problems you inherited, and start doing something about them?” he asked.

Carroll scene and pi its final "-run outl 2 new administrative spots designated Creation of two new positions within the Texas A&M admini stration was announced Tuesday by A&M President Dr. Jack K. Williams. Edwin H. Cooper, currently di rector of admissions, will assume duties as assistant to the presi dent and secretary of the univer sity’s Executive Committee ef fective March 15. Richard T. Bernard, who has been an assistant to the president since 1967, has been named assist ant director of management serv ices. Williams said Cooper, who serv ed from 1963 until 1967 as assist ant to the late Earl Rudder, will be responsible for community re lations, coordination and plan ning of convocations and special events and be the liaison for the president to the student body. In the liaison capacity, Wil liams said, Cooper will function primarily as an ombudsman, help ing students bring problems to the attention of appropriate univer sity officials in the shortest pos sible time. Williams said Cooper is “held in high regard by students and faculty alike. “I consider myself very fortu nate to have a man of his out standing ability join my office,” the president added. He said Cooper will share as- sistant-to-the-president responsi bilities with Robert G. Cherry, who serves also as secretary for the Texas A&M University Sys tem Board of Directors and acts as Williams’ liaison with off-cam pus parts of the system. Cooper will continue to assist Dean of Admissions and Records H. L. Heaton until a new admis sions director is appointed. A 1953 graduate of Texas A&M, Cooper has almost 15 years of service with the university. In ad dition to his experience as ad missions director and previous background as assistant to the president and staff member of the Agricultural Extension Service, he was selected by Rudder to or ganize the university’s Civilian Student Activities Office and served as its first director. Williams said Bernard, a 1957 Texas A&M graduate, will assist in directing the university’s ex panding auxiliary enterprise op erations. Howard Vestal, management services director, said Bernard will work primarily in the areas of on- and off-campus housing for both single and married stu dents. Vestal said Bernard also will be responsible for contingency planning and assist in developing administrative policies and proce dures affecting campus-wide ac tivities. Additionally, Bernard will be responsible for developing study programs for training of em ployees in the auxiliary enter prise areas. •ed twice im ANDLESS, MANLESS leather gloves perch atop a trash ingles by Eel ® in front of Mclnnis Hall.

By JOHN CURYLO The Texas Aggie Fish Drill Team will defend three consecu tive championships Saturday in the 1971 Texas A&M Invitational Drill Meet. The meet, sponsored by the As sociation of Former Fish Drill Team Members, in conjunction with the Military Science Depart ment and the Department of Aer ospace Studies, will be held on the Main Drill Field from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Fish Drill Team has won this meet every year since 1968, and they retired the overall cham pionship trophy by winning the rotating award three straight times. The freshmen are also three time national champions, having University National Bank “On the side of Texas A AM.” —Adv. won the National Intercollegiate Drill Team Competition at the Cherry Blossom Festival in Wash ington, D.C. for the last three years. There are six teams entered in Saturday’s meet. Teams come here from Prairie View A&M, Sam Houston State, Arkansas State, Texas A&I, and the University of Houston. Prairie View will also present a women’s team, but they will not be in competition. A&M’s drill unit is unique in that the members change every year. John Hamilton, senior from Galveston, is the president of the Association of Former Fish Drill Team Members. Hamilton was the guidon bearer for the 1968 na tional champs. The team is trained by a group of upperclassman advisors, all members of national championship teams. In charge of the fish now is Louis Ullrich, a San Antonio junior, who took over when the senior advisor, Richard Hanes, was killed in an automobile acci dent several weeks ago. “The fish will be under a lot of pressure,” Ullrich said. “This is caused by the loss of Dick Hanes and the fact that it is the fourth attempt by Aggies to win this meet. They are coming along real good, it’s just a matter of time. If they keep it up they should be able to take it.” Other advisors are junior Mike Burkett and sophomores Dave Carlson, Greg Walk, Leonard Her nandez, Beverly Kennedy, and Dave McClung. Commander of the team is William Peppard, and the guidon bearer is Richard Corona. Both are from Houston. Trophies will be given for each area of competition, in addition to the overall trophy. There are a total of 17 trophies to be given, valued at $500. Internationals suggest action against proposed tuition hike The International Student Association (ISA) discussed its official policy toward the proposed Constitution, Monday night in the Memorial Student Center and weighed possible actions that could be taken to defeat the proposed tuition raise currently before the Texas Senate. The discussion was heated at times as the organization tried to ascertain what kind of a voice the proposed Constitution would give them in the Senate. Student Senate President Kent Caperton presented the constitu tion to the group and explained the implications of the proposed guidelines for the Senate. Bill Hamilton, American delegate to the ISA and student senator, was chosen to act as an ex-officio representative to the Student Senate. The ISA adopted a twofold approach to the problem of the tuition raise. Members were encouraged to write letters to the Texas Legisla ture and other branches of the government, protesting the proposed hike and explaining that all foreign students are not supported by their country, as many Americans believe. The ISA then plans to approach the Student Senate and ask for a resolution on the subject, which would oppose such a hike. George Halikas, vice-president in charge of programs, activated the committees, and the ISA elected a new treasurer, Luis Juariz of Cuba. The inquiring Battman What do you think of the board action on coed dorms? Len Kowalski senior “I feel it was one of the big- fist mistakes they could have nade. Women are a necessary item for the development of the Male specie. The male student at A&M tends to lack the ability to function socially. Women on campus may help to adjust the backward males on this campus.” Carol Nowak freshman “I think it's a big- mistake— this is a coed campus and ought to be treated as one.” Robert Riggs senior “It’s time for the board of di rectors to come to terms with reality and realize that many of the problems of this school are created by their maintenance of the dominant parental role. Well, so much for the 18th century .. .” Bill Herring senior “Irregardless of the excess bed- spaces and housing problems, it will tend to maintain a conserva tive environment; and for that reason I say I’m for it.” Bill Lyles freshman “I think that their action is discriminatory toward the women and it should be changed to an earlier date.” Glenn Head senior “The decision will hinder the overall development of A&M as a university where ideas and opin ions of both sexes must be con sidered in the development of in dividualism.” Bob Nakon graduate “Inane. Women are here to stay. Let’s enjoy them.” (Photo by Patrick Fontana)
