Letting political views get in the
iway of one’s personal interpreta
tion of the Bible have no place in
the political process, said former
Senator Birch Bayh, D-Indiana, in
debate against conservative Ter
ry Dolan Tuesday night. The de
bate was sponsored by MSC Poli
tical Forum.
“We need more God-fearing
Christians, Jews, people maybe
do it, and as far as I’m concerned,
it’s okay for Jerry Falwell to do it,”
Dolan said.
Dolan is co-founder and chair
man of the National Conservative
Political Action Committee (
CPAC). Last fall NCPAC created
a political “hit list” which targeted
five liberal senators for defeat, us-

then I think we have a problem,”
said Bayh.
About 350 people heard Dolan

The secret of Bryan home
cookin’ is out.
For 40 years, Mom has been
ooking the best little vittles in
exas. A July magazine issue cal
led Mom’s the best mystery res
taurant. No signs or ads disting
uish it. Just good food.
The owner of the self-run diner
is Vera Carleton — Mom. “The
Aggies named me that and I’ve
been known as that for 40 years,”
she said.
Carleton, rounded with age and
some of her own cooking, helps
with the cooking in her home at
1207 E. 25th.
Carleton’s small kitchen keeps
with the homey theme.
There’s nothing unusual about
it except her stove has six burners
instead of the usual four and her
sink has three basins.
The dining room has six tables,
each set with a different china pat
tern.
Hanging on the wall is a sign:
“Jesus of Nazereth requests the
honor of your presence at a dinner
to be given in His honor. ”
Carleton, 80, said she started
Mom’s almost 50 years ago when
her late husband was teaching at
Texas A&M University.
“His students would come out
and beg me to cook for them,” she
said.
Once, she said, “We were re
modeling and a bunch of boys
came and wanted me to cook for
them.
“There wasn’t room in the
house, so they got some paper
plates, a big pot of beanS and a
bucket of tea and ate under the
chinaberry tree.”
When they left, Carleton said
Carleton said she has three
women to cook most of the food,
but she makes the rolls and the
sweets.
“You’ve got to make something
that will go around,” she said.
During her 50 years of com
mercial cooking many of her din
ers have become regulars.
“Boys I served when they were
in school bring their boys,” she
said.
Also, Carleton said, there are
always new people coming in.
“That’s nice because I never
know who’s coming. ”
MAKE THE HOME TEAM AND
GET $2000 FOR COLLEGE.
Teaming up with your local Army Reserve unit really pays off. If you’re
a high sch(X)l diploma graduate and qualify, you may be able to get up to $2,000
in educational aid for. college. Or an enlistment bonus of $1,500,whichever you
prefer. And you can learn a valuable skill, too. Giving your “home team”
a hand part-time can mean an extra $1,000 the first year. You can even begin
while you’re still in high school, if you’re 17 or older and meet other enlistment
qualifications. For details, stop by today.

the boys said, “Mom, can we come
back tomorrow?”
Since then Mom’s has grown to
serve 60 to 100 people a day.
She said, “Colored people,
Spanish, students and families all
come.
“It used to be all students, but
now it’s more of everybody.”
Carleton serves twice a day
from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 5
p.m. to 7 p.m,, except on Sun
days.
For the $3.15 price. Mom’s

corn, steak, meatloaf, chicken,
banana nutbread and lemon,

ing extensive media advertise
ments to weaken their reputa
tions. Four of those senators were
defeated in re-election.
However, Bayh said, he does
not believe NCPAC played a ma
jor role in his defeat.
“I was defeated,” Bayh said.
“And in my judgment, Mr.
Dolan’s organization, the moral
majority, and the SOB’s — Ship
Out Bayh—and the gun owners of
America and all those right-wing
people didn’t really have much to
do with it.”
Dolan attacked Bayh’s position
on national defense. He used
Bayh’s voting record on the use of
the B-l bomber and the cruise
missile as examples.
“It seems to me. Senator Bayh,
that you are less concerned about
increasing defense expenditures
than the rest of the Senate. I think
you’re playing a game with the
question of the B-l bomber and
the cruise missile, you didn’t like
either one of them, and that’s why
you voted the way you did.”
Bayh earlier had defended his
voting record on the issue.
“I’m against the B-l bomber
because I think the cruise missile
can bring more warheads over the
targets, with less loss of life, and
less cost to the taxpayer,” said
Bayh. “We need more money in
conventional armaments.”
In a press conference earlier,
Bayh said that he has no immedi
ate plans to get back into politics.
“I have to make a living, and I
can find a few things to do out
there without as much excitement
or heat in them,” Bayh said.
Also in the press conference,
Dolan said that NCPAC may put
26 senators on its hit list for the
next election.
“I hope that I’ve made a lot of
friends over the years,” she said.
“If not, they’re awfully big bars
when they say they love me.”
