not be here, but his inability has
given me this opportunity to
speak—and I am always pleased
to replace a Republican,” he said.
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.

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.

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

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.”
