Gordon Liddy, one of the men
17 ■oiivicted of conspiracy as well as the
-Jrglary and break-m ot the Watergate
)y 3 Btel, is scheduled to address “A Re-
ros t ct on American Politics tonight
iRudder Theater at 8 p.m.
_.^JLiddy, the man who received the
■fest sentence for his actions and
I Bred to be shot to keep the break-in a
■ret, is currently one of America's
1st popular speakers. His presenta-
pi is sponsored by the MSC Great
cues Committee.
persJHe began his political career in 1957
oach. Men he became an FBI agent, after
)rep;i: Jraduating from Fordham Law School
i, w( fljd passing the New York Bar exam,
t giviJer five years with the FBI, Liddy
i betterfied his father’s law firm in 1962.
!.” FHe became a prominent lawyer and
listant district attorney of Duchess
5o honf| un b'. New York,
they J^ring this time in New York. Liddy
v hj c {ampaigned for Republican presidential
rs aadidate Richard Nixon. After his elec-
throwaP 1 ’ Nixon awarded Liddy a position
s 5,. trith the Treasury Department in 1969.
ietedoB^l was ^f 16 year Liddy became an
es for °f Committee to Re-
r the® 1 ^ President, later known as
CREEP.
John Dean, counsel to the president,
told Liddy in the fall of 1971 to set up a
first class intelligence operation to en
sure Nixon’s re-election.
While working in this operation, Lid
dy submitted a plan to kill colunmist
Jack Anderson, who had endangered
the life of a U.S. intelligence source
abroad by identifying him in publica
tion.
In May 1972, Liddy and partner E.
Howard Hunt were sent by superiors
into the Democratic party offices in the
Watergate Hotel to plant listening de
vices.
A second break-in was ordered to
gather a file of derogatory material on
Republican party leaders.
This time the break-iii was not suc
cessful because Liddy’s electronic ex
pert James McCord, chief of security for
the Committee to Re-elect the Presi
dent, and four Cuban Americans were
arrested in the hotel.
Liddy acquired the nickname of “the
Sphinx” by not divulging any informa
tion about himself or his work within the
Nixon re-election committee.
Tickets are available at the Rudder
Box Office. The cost is 50 cents for stu
dents and $1 for non-students.
A public reception will be held after
his speech in 145 MSC.

Washington — The Saudi
AW ACS package, still in deep trouble
P Capitol Hill, faces its first key con-
giessional tests this week and the initial
Mtlook is pot good for President
Bagan’s $8.5 billion proposal.
Pfhe House Foreign Affairs and the
enate Foreign Relations committees
ire planning to vote on resolutions of
fcapproval Tuesday and Wednesday. A
fejority in both panels is committed
(gainst the sale.
11 Unless minds are changed between
now and then, both panels are expected
to recommend that the package be
vetoed. But that will not keep it from
consideration by the full houses.
The deadline is Oct. 31.
At least 23 of the 36 members of the
House Foreign Affairs Committee are
opposed to the Saudi package, whose
most controversial features are 1,177
Sidewinder missiles and the five Air
borne Warning and Control System air
craft.
At least 10 of the Senate panel’s 17
members also feel the same way. Nine
of them — including two Republicans
— are co-sponsoring a resolution of dis
approval introduced in the Senate
Thursday.
APO auction today
“ at Rudder Fountain
it
By FAR A ALEXANDER
Battalion Reporter
HGoing, going, gone. Another Aggie
sold at the Aggie Auction.
| Alpha Phi Omega, a national service
fraternity, is scheduled to auction Texas
jA&M students today from 11 a.m. to 3
p.m. at Rudder Fountain.
The indentured servant auction is a
iund-raising project for the United Way
campus drive, Chairman Jane Bishop
i said.
p Yell leaders, Student Government
| members, Corps of Cadet officers and
j other recognizable students will be au
ctioned for prices starting at $3.
Bishop said these individuals were
chosen because the best way to raise
| money is to auction people who are rec-
Ognized, such as student leaders.
I Once purchased, a servant must
work one hour, performing tasks left up
to the buyer s discretion, but nothing
illegalor immoral can be requested, she
said. A contract insuring the servant’s
moral, legal, and physical protection
must be signed as a safety precaution.
I The servant may have to walk a mile.
clean a house or do 50 push-ups in an
hour of service. But if the service is not
performed within two weeks, the ser
vant is released from obligation, Bishop
said.
The chairman said the auction is a
way to solicit contributions to the Un
ited Way instead of taking money at
collection tables.
She said APO initially wanted to auc
tion professors to promote a better stu
dent-teacher relationship but that the
organization would not have had
enough time to talk to professors about
the project.
She encouraged student participa
tion. “If you can’t buy one, be one,” she
said. “It is a good way to meet other
people and do something good for
someone.”
The United Way campus drive is a
part of the organization’s Brazos County
drive which started Sept.4. United Way
supports 19 agencies in the Brazos
County area, including Boy Scouts,
Boy’s Club, the Arthritis Foundation,
and the Brazos Valley Museum.
Reagan made it clear Sunday on his
return to Washington that, despite the
grim figures, he has not “really gone to
bat yet” for the proposal. And he
pointed out he is fighting “the prop
agandizing against this (that) has been
going on for a couple of years.”
The House committee is expected to
submit its own resolution probably to
day. A proposal against the AWACS
sale, circulated in the House since last
spring, has been signed by 255 mem
bers — 37 more than needed for a veto.
In the Senate, Sen. Robert Pack-
wood, R-Ore., and 49 co-sponsors —
one less than the needed majority —
submitted their resolution of disapprov
al late Thursday, shortly after President
Reagan’s press conference defending
the sale.
The Senate committee expects to
hear from Secretary of State Alexander
Haig before its vote Wednesday and
will hear today from public experts, in
cluding Harold Saunders, President
Carter’s assistant secretary of state for
the Middle East.
Sen. S.I. Hayakawa, R-Calif., still
considered uncommitted on the sale,
plans to introduce legislation to give the
Senate control over the final sale of the
AWACS to Saudi Arabia.
Interviewed on NBC’s “Meet the
Press’ Sunday, Defense Secretary Cas
par Weinberger was asked how he in
terpreted Reagan’s remark last week
that he would “not permit the oil fields
of Saudi Arabia to fall into unfriendly
hands.”
“I think what he had in mind specific
ally was that if there should be anything
that resembled an internal revolution in
Saudi Arabia — we think that’s very
remote — that he would not do what
was done in the case of Iran, which was
to stand by passively and in fact virtually
advise the existing government and the
world that the United States would not
take any action to help, ” Weinberger
said.
In a separate interview, on CBS’
“Face the Nation,” Senate Armed Ser
vices Committee Chairman John Tower
of Texas said it is “iffy” to speculate how
Saudi Arabia would be protected.
He said, “the same internal condi
tions do not exist” in Saudi Arabia as did
in Iran.
Both Tower and Weinberger insisted
the controversial AWACS sale to Saudi
Arabia should go through.
Newsweek magazine, in its Oct. 12
issue, reports Haig recently admitted to
Saudi leaders the Reagan administra
tion lacks the votes to gain congressional
approval for the sale, but told them the
White House would continue to press
for the deal.
United Press International
FORT WORTH — Cemetery work
ers tried today to keep “ghouls” away
from Lee Harvey Oswald’s grave. His
widow, Marina Oswald Porter, began a
new life, the wife of a carpenter — not
an accused presidential assassin — her
children spared from her ordeal.
The exhumation of her first hus
band’s body was the most extraordinary
event for Porter in almost 18 years,
when she learned on Nov. 22, 1963 that
she was married to the man accused of
assassinating President John F. Ken
nedy. Two days later, he was dead.
It was also a day during which the
Russian spy theory of a British author
was discredited by the precise realities
of 1980s science, that Robert Oswald
was vindicated from insistence that his
brother’s body not be disturbed and
three years of legal battles ended over a
body nearly virtually a skeleton.
After almost four hours of painstaking
tests and examinations in Dallas, a
medical team emerged to deliver the
verdict: The body exhumed early Sun
day was the same Lee Harvey Oswald
buried nearly 18 years earlier, not an
imposter as theorized by author
Michael Eddowes who witnessed the
exhumation.
While a huge group of reporters
questioned the experts, a black hearse
whisked the remains in a motorcade
back to Rose Hill Burial Park for re
interment just eight hours after the ex
humation.
The cemetery closed its gates for the
day and manager Neal Wretberg work
ed into the evening trying to keep
“ghouls” from scaling the fence to grab
at clods of red earth that formerly sur
rounded the coffin. Numerous specta
tors lined a nearby fence and cars pulled
over.
“I’ve got ’em coming over the fence
right now,” said Wretberg. “They’re
ghouls. They’re grabbing some of the
sod as ‘souvenirs. ” Wretberg ordered
around-the-clock security for the
Oswald grave.
Porter said she no longer wanted to
bear the stigma of being Marina
“Oswald” Porter.
“Now I have my answers and from
now on I only want to be Mrs. Porter,”
she told UPI. “I always intended for this
to be a private matter but it became
public because ofcircumstances beyond
my control.”
The four-member team of physicians
— assisted by several other hand
picked specialists — was relatively cer
tain early into the autopsy that there
was no imposter.
Linda Norton, the pathologist who
headed the investigating team, said:
“Beyond any doubt — and I mean abso
lutely any doubt — the person buried
under the name Lee Harvey Oswald is
in fact Lee Harvey Oswald.”

Houston man pursues lost companion
MSC Council to vote
on budget revisions
-
MSC committee budget revisions
and reviews will be discussed and voted
n at tonight’s MSC Council meeting,
e meeting is at 6 p.m. in 216 Memo-
al Student Center.
The MSC Council and Directorate’s
1981-82 budget was allocated by Stu-
lent Government members in Febru-
iry, but committee budget revisions are
till necessary because the allocated
fonds were less than requested, MSC
Council President Doug Dedeker said.
These revisions also reflect a prefer
ence change on behalf of MSC commit
tee olficers, he said. Dedeker said some
new officers were chosen in April after
the committee budgets were approved,
and some new officers have different
jpriorities and requests concerning the
ibudget.
Some committees were also unsure
as to their budget needs at the time of
allocation, he added, and this will give
them an opportunity to make requests
and explain how their budget alloca
tions will be used.
The committees facing budget
changes are: MSC Video, MSC Great
Issues, MSC Hospitality, MSC Opera
and Performing Arts Society, MSC Poli
tical Forum and MSC Travel. MSC
Cepheid Variable and MSC Basement
committees will undergo the same type
revisions at a later meeting, after they
have had time to accurately project
their needs, Dedeker said.
He said the council will review com
mittees’ budget again later in the school
year. “The purpose of these budget re
views is to keep (the committees) on
track during the year,” Dedeker said.
Budgets are also reviewed periodical
ly by the council’s financial officers.

Are you a female marketing senior
who flew from New Orleans to Houston
March 18 over the last spring break?
If so, Tony Paulin, 25, of 10313
Gladewood Drive in Houston, is sear
ching for you!
An unusual advertisement appeared
in the Sept. 28 issue of The Battalion
requesting that the woman fitting such a
description contact him at 937-6174.
Paulin said he bought the advertise
ment in The Battalion in hopes that this
senior marketing major would respond
to his request and contact him.
“I met this girl on a plane from New
Orleans to Houston. She was on her way
home (Houston) from a spring break trip
in New Orleans,” Paulin said.
“We talked during the whole 35 mi
nute flight. I was truly impressed by her
interest and knowledge in marketing
and her interest in me and my job,” he
continued.
At the time, Paulin, a 1979 mechanic
al engineering graduate of Texas A&M,
was employed by the Computer Service
Bureau in Houston.
“I gave her my business card and
asked her to call me, so we could get
together again and talk about her career
in marketing. I had this feeling inside
that she was going to call me,” he said.
But not long after that, Paulin said he
changed jobs and changed phone num
bers. He hasn’t heard from the girl yet.
“She was your cheerleader-type —
tall, long dark hair and dark eyes. She
was very pretty,” he said.
“I don’t remember her name because
I felt she would call me, but I do re
member that her parents were mem

Tony Paulin placed this Battalion ad in search of a
Texas A&M female marketing senior who flew
Staff photo by Becky Swanson
from New Orleans to Houston over the last spring
break. Paulin couldn’t recall the woman’s name.
Houston and that she had a brother
named Mark,” he said.
Paulin hopes to hear from the “mys
tery woman” soon. He said he had nev
er met anyone that was so intellectual
and impressive.
“She was an unusually intelligent girl
and had a good head on her shoulders, ”
he said.
Originally, Paulin had requested the
advertisement appear in the Sept. 30
issue of the Battalion, but instead, the
advertisement appeared two days be
fore.
“She may have tried to call on Mon
day or Tuesday, but I wasn’t aware the
ad had already appeared, and I wasn’t at
home to receive the call,” he said.
Paulin is now employed by Intercon
Incorporated in Houston, and said he
could be reached at work at 713/870-
7259.
