THE BATTALION Page 9 WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1978 r r Elephant Bowl aids area United Fund Texas A&M University’s Air Force lines up March 4 against the Army, Navy and Marine Corps in behalf of the area United Fund. The contest will be football in the Elephant Bowl, for which 140 Corps of Cadets members began preparation this week. The group will be trimmed to 80 next week, when teams start workouts in pads. Aggie varsity football players coach the teams. Players in the annual charity- benefit Elephant Bowl are non- collegiate gridders, former high school players taking one last fling with the pigskin. The game will be at 3 p.m. in Kyle Field on March 4 during Military Weekend. The game is sponsored by Wings and Sabers, an organiza tion of cadets on military schol arship. Its president, Terry Stanislav, is in charge of ar rangements. Texas A&M s Athletic De partment, through Associate Athletic Director Marvin Tate and Trainer Billy Pickard, aids the charity effort. Cadets who don the department-loaned pads and shoes also contribute above and beyond skinned elbows, scraped noses and other possible injuries. They pay their own injury insur ance. The only expenses that come out of gate receipts are for posters and advertising. The 1977 Elephant Bowl pro duced $1,500 for the Brazos Val ley Rehabilitation Center and a 17-6 Army win. Senator urges ‘good faith’ vote (Continued from page 1) Riegle said the treaty had to be ratified in good faith that Panama would observe the pact. He said Americans have strongly influenced the values and culture of Panama in the last 75 years there, and that ties between the United States and Panama are stronger than with any other Latin American nation. Crane said he was skeptical of re liance on "good faith with a Canal dictator who came to power at gun point. Crane said the Canal is still vitally strategic to United States security. He said the U.S. Navy has a con tingency plan to move 60 percent of its fleet through the canal in case of emergency in Western Europe. He also said that claims that the canal is obsolete are false; he said that 13 of the Navy’s 483 ships can’t pass through the Canal, and that they are super carriers. No more super car riers are to be built. Crane said. i say At last, Waylon and Willie By BOB ASHFIELD What should have happened quite awhile ago has finally hap pened. Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings have released their own album appropriately titled “Waylon and Willie. It's exactly what the average beer drinker ordered. The record is basically the twin of the “Outlaws” album that featured Willie and Waylon, along with Jessi Review Coulter and Tompall Glaser. How ever, the combination that catches everyone toe-tapping is that of Willie and Waylon so at last they appear without any unnecessary additons. The album is a grab bag of old favorites performed in the pleasura ble style that has sent everybody back to Luckenbaeh. One can al most hear the longnecks being jos tled in the background. wsed lisl ■aimiril - said been some tiincfl a) in t rratltv. esoM .■ceptij ed silj Coil iuil e toll sjc IT i s ! iite. andl , y'rc|> leopll ■ strd ■ coil oard ( finaiiii Jamj ml dj ret !i| noi® ttul st "i cMf if campus j activities \ Wednesday 1 Bridj>i' Club, 7:15 p.m., MSC 2 12 1 Tradition Council, 7:15 p.m., Rudder 'j 501 1 MSC Arts Concert, 8 p in., Rudder J Theater 1 Thursday i Residence Hall Associatior i, Har- I rington 204, 7 p.m. Aggie Players, "A Street Car Named || Desire,” 8 p.m., Rudder Forum Cepheid Variable, "Three Stooges in | Orbit," 8 p.m..

Kris Kristofferson’s “Don’t Cuss the Fid dle gives an open explanation among country musicians concern ing stolen songs. This becomes very apparent when Willie and Waylon shift into their infamous “Good Hearted Woman at the end with out changing a note. The duet’s solo efforts are gener ally typical of their own time-tested styles. Willie sings one love song lifter another with a Couple More Years ”, “If You Can’t Touch Her at All and “Its Not Supposed To Be That Way on the list. And while Willie is professing moonlight passion to countless wo men, Waylon is “Looking fora Feel ing for the hundreth time. His ver sion of “The Wurlitzer Prize is also excellent with Waylon sounding very convincing as the heartbreak kid. Willie and Waylon blend together superbly.

U.S. Comptroller General Elmer Staats testified to this before the Senate. Crane said this sum has been used to pay off the initial investment in the canal, which was never repaid. Crane Said Americans employed in the canal’s operation woidd be asked to retire early. This would de plete $135 million from the Civil Service retirement fund, a sum which would have to be reimbursed immediately by the taxpayer. Crane said. In addition, Secretary of State Cyrus Vance has proposed the ad ministration allot for funds to sub sidize or aid Panama if they are not successful in operating the canal. Riegle said he doesn’t think the canal is too complicated for the Panamanians to operate sucessfully. “It’s not like launching a moon shot, ’ Riegle said. He said Panama’s future lies in their sucessful maintenance of the Canal. Riegle said he believes ratification of the treaty will improve the U.S. image in South America. Fie con siders America’s presence in Panama a “big symbol of colonialism.” He said the United States should con sider the construction of positive relationships with developing coun tries as big a challenge as construc tion of the canal was in 1903. President Carter said that handing over the canal would demonstrate the “United States is willing to deal fairly and honorably with a smaller sovereign nation.” Crane said he thinks the United States has been unequaled in its generosity to other nations. He said he thinks the United States has oper ated the canal with equity as an international utility. “I am tired of the self-flagellation, the wearing of sack cloth and ashes, the condemnation of the U.S. per formance,” he said. He closed his comments by saying that U.S. aid has made Panama the wealthiest na tion in South America and that there is no need for the U.S. to give up something essential to its security interests. Riegle concluded by saying that the U.S. should give Panama a chance to its own future. “Ironclad arrangements to keep the canal there, neutral, open to us, and to give us priority use in time of emergency is all we need, he said. The Senate is now debating the treaties and the debates are expected to continue for two or three more weeks before a vote is taken. Support for the treaties has steadily in creased in the Senate and among the public since the treaties were amended. A For Battalion Classified Call 845-2611 festive tavern song. However, when the two stray from traditional mate rial, they also stray from the album’s purpose and quality. Waylon attempts Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks’ “Gold Dust Woman and butchers it. Willie teams up with him to sing a sense less “The Year 2003 Minus 25”. This song says that the present time is untrustworthy with the refrain “Time still don t pay like it used to”. But the next cut on the album “Pick Up the Tempo” stresses the oppo site with the repeating line “Time will take care of itself, so leave time alone. With the introduction of such new material, Willie and Waylon contradict themselves in lyric and song. Even on the new “I Can Get Off On You they expose themselves with the opening line “Take back the weed, take back the cocaine baby One may think that the country crowd might not accept these lyrics. But this is good for an album that is predominantly old stuff, for it is the only song that symbolizes the progressiveness that the two are so responsible for. It all boils down to the notion, that it doesn t matter what Willie and Waylon sing about, just as long as you can drink beer to it.
