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.

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.
