proved by the House and Senate.
Lt. Gov. Ben Barnes and Speaker
Rayford Price told their respec
tive houses they thought Smith
would have them back at work
the next day.
However, Smith issued a state
ment near noon Wednesday say
ing “despite my disappointment
that no competitive rate bill was
finally passed and my belief that
the need and the legislative de
sire for competitive rates has
been well established, it is my
judgment that it would be fruit
less to call the legislature back
for a fifth called session to deal
with insurance reform. The dif
ferences between the two houses
of the Legislature at this time
appear too great to be worked
out.”
Smith added that he remained
firm in his conviction “bolstered
by the legislative deliberations
of the past 30 days, that our in
surance system is desperately in
need of reform.”
The governor, who lost a bid
for re-election in the May pri
mary, said he would include rec
ommendations for “thorough re
form of our insurance regula
tory system” in his January ad
dress to the next legislature. The

Dr. Calhoun has been director
of Sea Grant since its beginning
in 1968, and of the Center for
Marine Resources, established in
1971 to administer Sea Grant and
other marine-related programs.
In September, 1971, under Cal
houn’s leadership, A&M was des
ignated one of the nation’s first
four sea Grant Colleges.
“Texas A&M is very fortunate
to have a man of Dr. Stephen
son’s caliber join our growing
marine sciences program,” Dr.
Calhoun said.
“His experience at Ohio State
in university-wide programs such
as the Lake Erie Research Cen
ter will be directly applicable to
the state-wide program for ma
rine resources in Texas.”
As director of the center,
Stephenson will be considered the
University spokesman for marine
resources. He will oversee activi
ties and projects relating to the
Sea Grant Program across the
state. Assisting Stephenson will

“I am pleased to have been
selected to assist in the further
development of marine resources
and related programs of the Uni
versity,” Stephen notes. “The
record of accomplishments and
the reputation of A&M in these
areas is well recognized.”

“I am hopeful that, because of
the exposure and public atten
tion that this issue has received
during the past 30 days, competi
tive rates and other insurance re
forms can and will be approved,”
he said.
Smith also claimed the just-
ended session could not be called
fruitless because of the passage
of a number of bills on the 29
subjects he gave the legislators
to consider.
Conservatism
(Continued from page 1)
I consider the Washington
Post, New York Times, CBS,
NBC and ABC liberal mouth
pieces, responded Mahoney to
another student’s question.
There is definitely a liberal bias
toward the military, he said in
response to another question.
“There are a number of rea
sons including the facts that the
military is very authoritarian,
traditional and patriotic — all
quite different from the liberal
point of view,” reasoned Ma
honey.
“The liberal elite in this coun
try is out of touch with the ma
jority of the people,” continued
Mahoney. “I just hope we can
make enough progress to turn
back the liberalists.”
