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also said that claims that the canal is
obsolete are false; he said that 13 of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.

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.

The songs that Willie and Waylon
perform together are naturally the
best loved. Riding high on the coun
try charts, “Mamas Don t Let Your
Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys of
fers a contemporary warning from
two of coots who should know. 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. They show that given any
old cowboy song, they can transform
it into the richest ballad or the most

Riegle said that with modern
weapons technology “We have got
ten our money’s worth from our in
vestment in Panama. ”
Although President Carter told
the nation in his fireside chat that the
new treaties “would not cost the
American taxpayer a penny,” loss of
the canal woidd take $17 million
yearly out of the U.S. Treasury. 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.

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.
