Need a study break? See a movie
By JAN EVANS
Campus Reporter
For students who might need a
wak from studies for final exams,
J! multi-media department of the
“"line C. Evans Library will show
free films Monday through
next week.
Segments of the senes In Search
, will be shown every hour
between 10a.m. and 9p.m. in Room
JlBofthe library Monday through
Wednesday, and a film on car care
will be shown Thursday.
Susan Lytle of the maps depart
ment said this might be a bad time to
present the film series, but “we
wanted to go ahead and try it to see if
it works.” Lytle said the multi-media
department will try to get an idea of
student interest in having free films
from response to the series next
week. Lytle said the department is
hoping for student suggestions to de
termine when and what programs
will be shown next fall. She said they
hope to show film one week each
semester.
Lytle said the series is also to help
generate interest in the multi-media
department, which was new last fall.
The department has instructional
slides, film strips, video tapes and a
small number of 16-mm motion pic
tures which students can check out.
Besides instructional films, stu-
Reagan s confident
despite Bush victory
United Press International
HOUSTON — George Bush’s win
in the Pennsylvania primary might as
well not have occurred for all the
effect it had on Ronald Reagan’s cam
paign Wednesday.
Reagan campaigned in Waco be
fore heading to Houston for a League
ofWomen Voters debate with Bush.
At a Waco airport rally he fed Dr.
Pepper to Baylor University’s mas
cot bear, asked a Jimmy Carter
lookalike if he could visit the Oval
Office to measure the carpet and re
ceived a smeared lipstick kiss from a
majorette.
In his Tuesday night news confer
ence after learning Bush had won the
popular vote in Pennsylvania,
Reagan said it didn’t matter.
“I believe I’m going to win the
nomination,” he said. “Delegates are
the name of the game.”
Outstanding
seniors picked
Two seniors from the College of
Liberal Arts were presented awards
Wednesday at the liberal arts faculty
'meeting.
Karen Crane and Mike Huddles
ton, both political science majors,
were named outstanding seniors by
the Liberal Arts Student Council on
the basis of their academic excell
ence and their contributions and ser
vice to Texas A&M Univerity.
Crane, from Rosenberg, has been
a distinguished student each semes
ter at Texas A&M and is a member of
Cap and Gown. She helped organize
the Political Science Society and the
Political Science Honor Society, Pi
Sigma Alpha. She will attend law
school at the University of Texas next
fall.
Recently selected to Who’s Who
Among Students in American Col
lege and Universities, Huddleston
will attend law school at Southern
Methodist University in the fall. He
received the Gathright Award as a
junior at Texas A&M and is vice pres
ident of both Pi Sigma Alpha and the
Political Science Society.
The Reagan campaign estimated it
had 90 percent of the delegates
needed toward the 998 necessary to
win the nomination and predicted
their candidate won 50 of the 83
Pennsylvania delegates.
Reagan said he believed his nomi
nation was assured and an aide said
any skeptics will change their minds
by May 6, after the Indiana, Texas,
Tennessee and North Carolina Re
publican primaries have been held.
By that date, said Richard Wirth-
lin, Reagan’s chief of strategy and
planning, the former California gov
ernor will have enough delegates “so
that if there’s any doubt in anyone’s
mind who’s going to win the nomina
tion, those doubts should be
erased.”
Reagan said it would have been
“nice” to have won the “beauty con
test,” but he denied that the loss was
any indication he was losing his
appeal to the important blue collar
vote.
Because Pennsylvania is not a
crossover state, in which Democrats
can vote on the Republican ballot,
there was no chance to win the kind
of blue collar support he saw in Illi
nois and Wisconsin.
Wirthlin said there were no plans
to change strategy in the industrial'
states of Ohio and Michigan. He said

the popular vote was more important
during the beginning of the race, be
fore there is a clear frontrunner.
Wirthlin and other Reagan aides
said there was no way Bush could
win the nomination.
Reagan spent part of the afternoon
in briefings with advisors after an in
terview with a Dallas television sta
tion in which he reiterated his con
tention the United States “would be
destroyed” in a nuclear war with the
Soviet Union.
He said the United States would
not have “a retaliatory power of any
consequence” if the Soviets should
strike first and said the Soviets would
have enough power for a second
strike “even if we had enough to
throw at them.”
“We’re behind them in both con
ventional and strategic weapons as a
result of this administration’s cutting
back on our defensive power, and
the gap is widening,” Reagan said.
The only reason the United States
is not susceptible to military black
mail, Reagan said, is a Soviet desire
to avoid war.
“But I do believe they want world
conquest,” he said.

PARIS — Nine bombs, planted by
Corsican nationalists, exploded
Wednesday at travel agencies, stores
and government buildings in Paris
and the port of Nice.
Three persons were slightly in
jured from flying glass at one of the
seven explosions in Paris. No one
was injured in the two bomb attacks
in Nice.
All the attacks were claimed by the
Corsican National Liberation Front
in telephone calls to French news
media. The Front seeks independ
ence for Corsica, which has been
under French rule for 212 years.
In Paris, five explosions came
shortly after midnight in working
class neighborhoods. The worst
damage was at an Air France ticket
office, where the injuries occurred.
The other bombs damaged a travel
agency, two post offices and a tax
office.
About two hours later, two more
bombs went off in Paris’ Les Halles
shopping center. Nine stores were
damaged.
Police also discovered two other
bombs that failed to go off outside
banks in the northern part of the city.
In the Mediterrean port of Nice,
bombs exploded at both a national
and a local tax office.
Last year, the Front claimed re
sponsibility for more than 100 bomb
attacks in Corsica and on the French
mainland.
French officials consider the Cor
sican Front the best organized separ
atist movement in France, although
they say the group has only a few
dozen members.
The attacks of violence began in
1975 in Corsica, a 3,367 square-mile
island with a population of 250,000.
The population, however, has been
declining steadily as young Corsi
cans leave the island in search of
work.
The French government has re
fused to negotiate with the Front or
seriously consider giving Corsica its
independence, but has sent them
more national funds.
The nationalists, whose most
radical political factions were out
lawed by a 1976 decree, complain
their island has been turned into a
virtual colony by French from the
mainland and ex-colonists from
Algeria who settled there after
Algeria’s independence in 1962.
