After the tournament this weekend, the Aggies head to Califor nia for a week of tournament as well as duel match play. “That should be a good week for us, because in the tournament (at UCLA) we play two teams in the top five in our pool and another team in the top 10,” said Condon.

Representing us in Congress, he has emerged as an aggressive, effective, respected leader. Here’s what Capitol Hill observers are saying about Congressman Phil Gramm: . . he hasn’t caved in and played the role the ‘Old Guard’ expects of freshman Members.” GO VERNMENT EXECUTIVE . .he has gone the furthest in making im mediate impact in Congress.” FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM ‘‘Gramm has shown a continued fiscal con servatism coupled with the ability to strike a compromise in order to make legislation work. One of the most aggressive freshman con gressmen, Gramm has shown none of the reticence usually associated with first-term members.” THE EAGLE/Bryan-College Station ‘‘A freshman congressman has brought the . . . leadership in the House of Representatives to its knees and forced it to promise that it will move toward balancing the budget. He is a con servative, Rep. Phil Gramm ...” WASHINGTON WEEKLY ‘‘Gramm leaped aboard the constitutional amendment bandwagon, grabbed the reins and stunned more than a few colleagues by almost winning his campaign to force a balanced budget in his first outing on the House floor. Gramm, who set out to win power by creating respect for himself among fellow congressmen, apparently has achieved some of that, along with a certain level of admiration, if not awe.” FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM ‘‘Gramm . . . does seem to be a person in the right place at the right time. He is an economist and energy expert at a time when economic and energy policy are major and unsettled issues in the United States.” DALLAS TIMES HERALD ‘Rep. Phil Gramm is a freshman who played a key role in the rationing debate, win ning a provision that severely limits the Presi dent’s power to ration gasoline except in a severe emergency.” LOS ANGELES TIMES ‘‘Gramm is brainy and effective in working for free enterprise causes, and his grasp of legislative strategy has impressed us.” DALLAS MORNING NEWS ‘‘. . . an increasingly influential first-term Conservative.” WASHINGTON STAR ‘‘Gramm is considered a man who could become a congressional leader if staunch con servatives ever take control of the House.” DALLAS TIMES HERALD That’s the kind of leadership we’ll need to restore our economic and military strength and get on with the job of producing the energy we need at a price we can afford. ^ Re-Elect Congressman _ PHIL GRAMM POL.
