Battalion Reporter
Texas A&M University will con
tinue to admit Iranian students, ac
cording to Admissions and Records
Dean Edwin H. Cooper.
“It is not our policy to exclude
Iranians from enrolling here,”
Cooper said. “Unfortunately, there
has been some misunderstanding
about our position.”
Cooper said because of the recent
turmoil in Iran, the University is
proceeding with unusual caution in
admitting Iranians.
“We cannot be certain of the va
lidity of credentials we receive from
Iran,” he said. “In times of crisis
when people are trying to leave,
transcripts are a passport out of the
country. Buying transcripts and
producing and selling false records
is more commonly done.”
Cooper said Iranian students are
also having difficulty getting money
to pay fees.
“It’s sad for a student to get here
and then not have enough money to
pay room and board,” he said. “I’ve
seen it happen. Then they can’t go
to school and are illegally in the
United States. I don’t want to be a
part of that. ”
Cooper said the Iranian Embassy
in Washington told Texas A&M
University it will attempt to pay the
support of currently enrolled stu
dents, but will not take on new stu
dents who can’t pay.
Cooper said this precautionary
procedure is temporary and there
has been no official change in policy
or admissions.
In a memorandum dated April 6,
Cooper asked Loyd Taylor, as
sociate director of admissions, to
maintain contact with appropriate
organizations and agencies to de
termine when it will be feasible to
resume normal admission proce
dures.
Of the 1,150 international stu
dents enrolled at Texas A&M, 94 (or
8.6 percent) are Iranian.
“Considering we normally enroll
students from about 75 countries,
we feel that admission to Iranian
students has been more than equi
table,” Cooper said.
Cooper said he foresees no de
crease in the number of Iranian stu
dents in the next school year.
“We had 2,700 Iranians apply to
A&M last fall,” he said. “I expect
about the same number this fall.
Many of them are already in the
United States and can easily trans
fer. If a student is doing superior
work in English and can pay his fees
then he is eligible to be admitted if
his records are credible.”
Cooper said the University tries
to maintain a balance, a mix in
international students. He said
Texas A&M tries to have a reason
able proportion and an equal distri
bution of students from other coun
tries.
Cooper said as of Tuesday, only
one Iranian student had been in to
see him about the policy. A delega
tion of students representing the
International Students Association
went to see Cooper a couple of
weeks ago to see what the Univer
sity policy was.
Elia Tasca, president of ISA said
the group decided to endorse the
administration’s policy contingent
on the administration setting up a
policy framework.
“The real test if the administra
tion acted in good faith,” Tasca said,
“will come when we see if the pro
portion of Iranians declines or re
mains.”
The Society of Iranian Students
(SIS) has also spoken to Cooper. In a
letter written Friday to the admis
sions and records office and in an
open letter sent to The Battalion,
Iranian students asked Cooper to
explain in greater detail the basis for
his hesitation in admitting Iranians.
“It bears mentioning,” the letter
said, “that the young government of
Iran has been recognized as the
legitimate government by the
United States, and that this sum
mary decision to bar Iranian stu
dents admission violates the comity
which exists between legitimate
governments. ”
SIS also asked what sources of in
formation are available to the ad
ministration.
“If your decision is based on ac
counts of Iran as they appear in the
media,” the letter said, “we would
like to point out that what appears in
the press and TV is a concentration
of selective and distorted events.
According to reports from the Ira
nian officials as well as private
sources, by and large the country
has functioned smoothly even
through the height of the revolu
tion.”
SIS said it wants to know if there
has been any incidence of falsified
records or any other concrete reason
to suspect the validity of academic
documents under the new govern
ment.
Cooper said he will do his best to
clarify and explain to the Iranians
the administration’s precaution.
“The position we have taken,”
Cooper said, “is no different from
that we would take with regard to
applicants from any country where
current political, social or economic
conditions exist that preclude an ac
curate evaluation of all credentials
required for admission.
The president of SIS, Ali Naraghi,
said “the current policy does not
seem fair.
“That is why we wrote the letter,”
he said. “We want more explana
tion. It seems like we are being dis
criminated against.”

Whatever their differences, gov
ernment and oil industry spokes
men agree on one thing — Ameri
cans either will drive less this sum
mer or shiver more when the snow
flies.
Energy Secretary James Schles-
inger said Tuesday the government
may have to force oil refiners to cut
back on gasoline production and
make more heating oil.
He told a House energy subcom
mittee the nation’s stock of heating
oil “is at a historically low level,
below the minimum level accept
able,” and said the government
“may have to turn to mandatory or
ders” to assure priorities.
In New York, Charles J. Dibona,
president of the Oil Industry Trade
Association, was in accord with
Schlesinger.
“Home heating oil stocks must be
built up, which could significantly
impair the oil companies’ ability to
meet gasoline demand this sum
mer,” he said. “Weekend closings of
service stations are a reasonable
probability.”
He said oil stocks now stand at
112 million barrels — “an all-time
record low for this time of year” —
and they must be raised to 224 mil
lion barrels by winter.
Expectation of gasoline shortages,
however, was about the only accord
between the White House and the
oil industry as battle lines formed on
Capitol Hill over President Carter’s
windfall profits tax amid reports of
huge oil profit margins.
Exxon was the first to report, de
tailing first-quarter profits of $995
million, up 37.4 percent. Other
companies were quick to match or
top the Exxon tally — among them,
Texaco, up 81 percent; Gulf, up 61
percent; Marathon, up 108 percent.
President Carter, who charged
Monday the oil lobby was pressur
ing Congress to pass a well-
loopholed version of his windfall
profits tax, seized upon the reports
as proof the industry has adequate
profits now. He said oil companies
were trying to “hoodwink the
American people” and turn the tax
measure into “a charade.”
