THE BATTALION FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1981 Page 5 ,ocal / State enior talks politics in Europe, represents U.S. By JUDY ALLS Battalion Reporter A Texas A&M senior, along with three students from Washington, D.C., represented the United States in a series of European seminars in October di rected at youth and politics. Lilly Dollinger was sponsored by the Heritage Foundation, the conservative “think tank” in Washington, D.C., to attend the all-expense paid trip to Europe. She said she was chosen for the trip partly because of her involve ment in President Reagan s cam paign the summer before her senior year in high school. “The nicest thing about the trip was the opportunity to get to talk to people from other countries and to gain a clearer understanding of how their politics work,” Dollin ger said. She said she talked to many people who are directly involved in their countries politics includ ing members of the Solidarity Un ion from Poland. “It is very en couraging to see people risking their lives against communism,” Dollinger said. The first three days of the 10- day trip were spent in Strassburg, France, where the European par liament meets. The parliament, which includes student represen tatives from 10 countries, meets to find common ground in their in terests, Dollinger said. The parliament also establishes and supports different programs that help to bring about a more unified Europe, and consists mainly of right-wing youth politic al groups, she said. The group attended a seminar presented by the Pan-European Youth in Heidelberg, Germany, entitled “The U.S. and the Need for Western Alliance.” Represen tatives from Austria, Poland, Angola and several other coun tries attended. Dollinger said she saw a differ ence between the slow-paced European atmosphere and the fast-paced American lifestyle. “That is the obvious reason why we (Americans) have surpassed them in technology,” she said. Dollinger, who is also com munications director for Texas A&M’s Student Government office, is the national chairman of the Committee for Responsible Youth Politics. Her job on the committee is voluntary, but well worth the ex perience, she said. The commit tee has been instrumental in the election of several U.S. House and Senate members, Dollinger said. Dollinger has also been tenta tively appointed by Reagan to the President’s Commission for Women in Higher Education. The appointment will become perma nent after it receives Senate approval. Dollinger said her nomination is being checked out by the FBI.

The 6.5-acre business park, on the north side of Tarrow Street between Arguello Drive and Hearthstone Circle, is designed with unusual shaped lots. The lots, which are designed with twists and bends to conform to the proposed buildings for the site, are unusual compared to the conventional rectangular lot de sign, Mayo said. i?£ nee last year’s Rain tree— tinghouse controversy, the mission has made a conscious toward taking closer looks at fling, requests for large tracts, eloper J.W.
