The Academic Council elected
Otto R. Kunze as vice chairman and
reactivated the Committee on
Broadening Curricula Tuesday.
Kunze is a professor of agricultural
engineering. He received his B.S.
degree from Texas A&M University
in 1951, his Ph.D. from Michigan
| State University in 1964 and re
turned to work here in 1956.
Dr. J.M. Prescott, vice president
for academic affairs, suggested the
reactivation of the Committee on
Broadening Curricula. This commit-
i tee will work on broadening the stu-
j dent’s education, Prescott said. It
can’t be considered a free elective
program, he said, but an attempt to
| get students to take courses in areas
not directly connected to their major
field of study.
The council also approved the
addition of 25 new courses, the with
drawal of 110 courses and five
changes in course titles.
Changes in the safety engineering
curriculum were also approved.
These include changing the en
gineering science elective in the first
semester of the junior year to read
technical elective, moving the tech
nical elective to the first semester of
the senior year, and moving Indust
rial Engineering 320 to the first
semester of the junior year.
“These changes will not affect the
program but give the added flexibil
ity of permitting a student to select
an elective from either engineering
science or engineering design
courses,” said Newton C. Ellis, head
of the Department of Industrial En
gineering.
Dr. Charles Samson proposed
holding brainstorming sessions dur
ing future meetings. These would be
held after the formal agenda had
been completed. Anyone interested
could discuss topics like the compu
ter problem, ways to improve com
munication and any other timely
problems.
No official action would be taken
during this period, Samson said.

“Make Eddie Glad, Vote Reagan
1980,” read the button below the
iliar face of the blue-eyed, gray-
aired, gray-suited man.
Eddie Chiles, the independent
“oilman known to Texans for his “I’m
ad ...” political-comment televi
sion and radio commercials, en-
idorsed the Ronald Reagan-George
SBush ticket Wednesday at a break-
fast at College Station’s Ramada Inn.
“We’ve got to fight the second
merican Revolution 204 years after
e first war. And we’ve got to fight
ithballots, not bullets,” Chiles said
of the approaching election.
“We’re freedom fighters,” the
hief executive officer of Western
brporation said.
What can Reagan do for Texas?
biles said Reagan will secure the 12
to 14 percent inflation rate, although
it will take time to balance the
budget. And he said Reagan will re
duce government regulation.
“Texans are the kind of people that
want their freedoms. They don’t
want to be fenced in,” he said.
If the Democrats are defeated,
Chiles said, “Then they’ll have to
come back and live under all the laws
they have made.”
Two different political philo
sophies are represented in the three
nain Presidential candidates, Chiles
;aid.
He said President Carter and In
dependent John Anderson share the
theme: “If I get elected President,
I’m going to see the government
does all these things for you.”
On the other hand. Chiles said,
Reagan believes the federal govern
ment should turn back many of its
functions to state, county and local
governments.
“Let’s let the local government do
the things that it can do. They can do
it better and they can do it cheaper,”
Chiles said.
“The closer government is to the
people, the better the government
will get, ” is a Thomas Jefferson quote
Chiles said Reagan often uses.
For the last 50 years. Chiles said,
the federal government has been
taking in tax money, skimming off a
large part for itself and turning the
rest back to the people, with qualifi
cations.
“They say, ‘We’re giving you all
this money ... You go ahead and
spend it like we tell you to spend it,”’
Chiles said.
Chiles said of deficit spending,
“Those liberal Democrats keep
spending money that they don’t
have, and that’s the crudest tax of
all.”
