Layaway Piano Rental Piano Lessons POST OAK MALL College Station, TX 77840 by John P. Lopez Battalion Reporter Michael Holmes, ajunior elec trical engineering major from Grand Prairie, will be the com mander of the Corps of Cadets for 1982-83. Ronald Taylor, a junior fi nance major from Troy, will be deputy Corps commander. The selection of the two cadets was approved by Univer sity President Frank E. Vandiver Feb. 18. Holmes, presently serving as sergeant major on the Corps staff, was nominated for the post by current Corps Commander Kelly Castleberry, a senior agro nomy major from Lake Jackson. “(Holmes) stands head and shoulders above almost every other junior in the Corps,” Cast leberry said. “All year he has been learn ing the position of Corps com mander. He’s learned not to be afraid to make a decision.” Some changes Holmes said he hopes to implement as Corps commander include an im proved academic standing among Corps members and bet ter budgeting of time for Corps activities. “We want to eliminate wasted time,” he said. In addition, Holmes said he will try to allow time to let cadets adjust to recent Corps changes. “If somebody keeps changing policy, nothing will ever get accomplished,” he said. “Enough things have been changed. We have to let the changes take effect.” The changes Holmes wants to leave alone include some strict academic policies,, and the de velopment of the Disciplinary Enforcement Committee. The DEC is an organization formed in order to beautify the Corps Quadrangle area, Holmes said. “It’s a committee that helps keep the area clean by planting trees and picking up trash among other things,” he said. Officials want apes to monkey around !> 8 8 S s 8 8 S N V 8 N N 8 United Press International HOUSTON — It is not a case of love at first sight—they just didn’t go ape over each other. But Houston Zoo officials said Wednesday they are opti mistic that spring fever will hit Vanilla and Abe, and the two gorillas will take a liking to each other and produce an offspring. Abe was loaned to the zoo from the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs, Colo, to mate with Vanilla, who had been nursing a broken heart fol lowing the death of her first mate, Je-Je. Abe, 25, arrived at the zoo in November, and bars were put up between the gorillas before courting began. However, the bars have been removed but Cupid still hasn’t appeared. Vanilla, who is 16 and weighs 200 pounds, regularly punches Abe’s 350-pound body, and Abe puts aside his manners and hits her right back. “The plans are to allow them ample time to get the romance going,” said Joe Howard, zoo spokesman. If the matchmaking is not successful, Howard said, Abe will be returned to Colorado. S s Now, for the Gourmet Cook, We Carry: Woks to Utensils Cookbooks to Dinnerware 20% off all Cookware Sat.
