WASHINGTON — Israel has be
come so strong it might be able to
threaten U.S. strategic interests in
the Middle East by crushing Arab
enemies before the West could
intervene, says a former intelligence
(Officer.
“Israeli military power grew from
la ‘David’ to a ‘Goliath’ between 1948
jand 1977,” said Anthony Cordes-
unan in the latest edition of Armed
Forces Journal, an unofficial
monthly publication on military af
fairs.
Cordesman, who has served a
secretary of the Defense Intelli
gence Board and as assistant deputy
defense secretary, said in order to
protect its own interests, the United
States should consider new limits on
arms deliveries to Israel.
^SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSJ
But he said the administration
and Congress are intimidated by the
Israeli lobby and American Jews
who seem to put Israel before U.S.
interests and ‘‘use anti-Semitism
and a new holocaust as a moral club”
against criticism.

Taco, coffee for breakfast
By CAROLYN KEMMERER
The group assembled at the usual
hour — shortly before 7 a.m. They
sat down to a breakfast of tacos and
coffee and doughnuts, and after the
meal they cast their ballots.
The three present student mem
bers of the Sbisa Hall Menu Board
voted against a taco shell currently
being consumed by Sbisa diners.
But they managed to agree on three
other brands of the shells.
In the past, boards have vetoed
such delicacies as barbecued lamb,
broccoli casserole and eggplant.
Members dont’ take their jobs
lightly — after all, they represent
the taste buds of every student on
the board plan at Texas A&M Uni
versity.
“Because we are students here
and we do pay for the meal plan,
there is no greater right than to have
direct say over what goes on,” said
Jim Calle, a student menu board
represen tative.
Each of the campus’ three major
dining halls, Sbisa, Duncan and the
Commons, has a board made up of
six students and members of the
food services staff. Members ar
range a time when they can all at
tend the monthly meetings, usually
held in the early morning. All 18
members meet monthly at 6:30 a.m.
for a joint menu board meeting.
During these joint meetings the
board tastes certain foods to decide
whether they should be retained or
removed from the menu.
It takes a majority of the members
present at the joint meetings to get a
certain food rejected and replaced.
And because all dining halls serve
basically the same foods, food is
tasted at these joint meetings. An
individual dining hall’s menu board
cannot reject a certain food without
the majority of members from the
other dining halls agreeing with
their decision.
The Sbisa menu board met at
Peniston cafeteria one recent morn
ing to discuss whether the brand of
taco shells used at Sbisa should be
replaced. Although most of the
menu board members arrived by 7
o’clock, some stumbled in after 7.
The atmosphere between the staff
an students was friendly, and busi
ness was not conducted until
everyone had a chance to get a cup
of coffee and something to eat.
The menu board sat at long
cafeteria table beside a movable
serving table. Four different brands
of taco shells were arranged in the
serving table. The shells were iden
tified only by number so the brand
names wools not bias the students
when they made their final decision.

Hamburger meat, lettuce and to
mato slices accompanied the tacos.
The Sbisa group was the only one
to make this decision, because they
are the only dining hall that serves
tacos.
The student representatives sim
ply voted on whether the taco shells
were “acceptable” or unaccept
able.” After the testing the names
were revealed. Sbisa’s current
brand of taco shells was found unac
ceptable.
If a student has a complaint to
make about any aspect of his dining
hall he can talk to his dining hall’s
menu board representative. These
complaints are brought before the
joint or individual menu board
meetings.
“If we see something on the menu
that the students aren’t liking, or
isn’t turning out very well, we try to
substitute another item or get them
(food services) to cook it another
way,” said Calle.
Fred VV. Dollar, director of food
services, said that Texas A&M is one
of the few schools that allows stu
dents to review certain foods and
decide what is and isn’t acceptable
on a dining hall menu.
Dollar said that food services is
not state-funded, but gets its money
from student board fees. He also
said that food services will “try any
thing it can afford to try” concerning
different types of foods.

Nobody knows more
about the opportunities at
E-Sy stems than the people
who joined us a fewyears ago.

Here’s what three of them have to say:
Tim Dennett—
“The attitude at E-Systems is what impresses me the most.
I’m part of a total department and do not get lost in the shuffle.
As a contracts analyst. I'm getting valuable experience and
instruction needed to become a contracts administrator.
“As an administrator, I will go to customer offices to present
and negotiate contracts and proposals.
“Responsibilities? You know it! I feel E-Systems wants me to
grow. Right now, I am working on my masters at night, and
they are picking up the tab.”
Cheryl Conant—
“E-Systems offered me the opportunity to do scientific
programming rather than working commercial programs for
payrolls, accounts receivable, and so on.
“And. 1 can work with a mini-computer to check my
programs. I like that! And talk about responsibilities! I recently
helped install a computer communications program for the
Miami police force.
“Also. E-Systems is helping me to get my masters through a
closed-circuit TV hookup with SMU... right at the plant!”
Jerry Pale—
“I was a co-op student, alternately working at E-Systems one
semester and going to SMU the next. The company paid for my
night school tuition during the work sessions. The actual
working experience with the senior engineers at the plant is
very important in helping to take classroom theory and apply
it to practical work. 1 actually started a bread-board on a
telephone system interface design during my last co-op
semester.
“Now. working full time. 1 am converting this system to the
requirements of the commercial field which would be quite a
breakthrough.”
These are just three of the individuals who helped us
develop and produce high-technology electronic systems for
communications, data processing and management,
automated document processing, and other sophisticated
applications.
Systems that are first.
Systems that are one-of-a-kind.
Systems that require unusual blending of technologies.
These people are part of an 11.000 worldwide member team,
producing over $300 million in annual sales.
At the C’.arland Division, we believe we offer the finest
opportunities and most interesting assignments available
