Secretary of State David Dean said
Monday his office would undertake
an election analysis to determine the
reasons for the low turnout of about
1.3 million voters — almost 500,000
fewer than he had estimated and ab
out 21 percent of the registered vo

“I am dismayed at the voter apathy
as indicated by the final voter turnout
figures,” Dean said.
“In fact, the statewide voter turn

statewide voter turnout in the 1952
primaries.”
Jim Mattox and John Hannah, top
finishers in the Democratic primary

Meanwhile, there were reports
Texas Republicans were considering
withdrawing Donald Hebert of Wal

did not bother Democratic nominee
Jim Hightower.
“It really doesn’t matter to me,”
Hightower said. “They can get
together in their little smoke-filled
rooms and make up their minds, and
turn him loose out in the fresh air and
we’ll go at him.”
The names mentioned as possible
GOP candidates include Speaker Bill
Clayton, now a Democrat, Tobin
Armstrong, a wealthy South Texas
rancher on Gov. Bill Clements’ staff,
and Carroll Chaloupka, former presi

Details of conflicts
vague; 400 saved
United Press International
British forces from the Falklands task
force have been involved in an unspe
cified “further action” since the sink
ing of the Argentine cruiser General
Belgrano, the British Ministry of De
fense said today.
Argentina announced that an
additional 400 sailors have been re
scued f rom the sea after the sinking of
the cruiser.
“There has been further action of
which I don’t have full details,” a
ministry spokesman said.
At 10 Downing Street, Prime
Minister Margaret Thatcher met with
the full cabinet after being briefed by
her war cabinet, which includes De
fense Secretary John Nott, Foreign
Secretary Francis Pym and Home
Secretary William Whitelaw.
Both Pym and Nott were scheduled
to make statements on the Falklands
crisis to Parliament later in the day.
A communique from the military
junta said another 15 rescue ships
were still cruising the area where the
Belgrano was torpedoed and sank
two days ago alter an attack by a Brit
ish nuclear submarine.
Last night the junta announced
123 sailors had been rescued. A milit
ary spokesman said the revised figure
of 400 rescued included the 123
plucked from the sea Monday.
The communique said that the re
scued crew members are aboard the
Argentine patrol boat Buruchaga
“which is on its way to the port of
Ushuaia. The rescue operations con
tinue.”
The new' figure brings the number
saved to 400 out of the total crew of
1,042.
While Argentine patrol boats sear
ched for survivors near Tierra del
Fuego, British ships were within 50
miles of the Falklands, possibly for a
major landing assault, well-placed
sources told the private Noticias
Argentinas news agency.
Chances for a British landing on
the islands seized April 2 by Argen
tine forces improved as weather con
ditions in the region cleared. The Na
tional Weather servic e in Washington
said infrared satellite photographs
showed a wide front with associated
cloudiness had moved of 1 to the north
of the Falklands.

United Press International
WASHINGTON — President
Reagan will accept an invitation from
Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev for
a summit meeting in October aimed
at breaking the nuclear arms control
stalemate, White House officials con
firmed today.
Originially Reagan expressed
hope that Brezhnev would meet him
at the United Nations in New York in
mid-June where Reagan will deliver a
major address on disarmament. But
on April 17, Brezhnev called for a
summit meeting in October instead.
The Washington Post, which re
ported today that Reagan was now
agreeable to meeting with Brezhnev
in October, said the invitation had
been discussed with Soviet Ambassa
dor Anatoly Dobrynin. The most like
ly site would be either Austria or Ire
land, the newspaper said.
Like most of his predecessors,
Reagan has been advised against
holding a summit meeting unless
there was some chance ol success. But
pressure for a superpower summit
has mounted with the expanding de
bate on the possibility of a nuclear war
and calls for a nuclear weapons
freeze.
Soviet sources were reported to
have first viewed Reagan’s offer of a
meeting in June as cynical since he
disclosed it at a time when reports
stated that Brezhnev, 75, was neat-
death in a Moscow hospital.
Brezhnev, who had been urging a
summit meeting for some time, made
his counter-proposal for an October
conference in a one-question inter
view with Tass, the official Soviet
news agency.
“President Reagan will accept
Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev’s
invitation for a ‘well-prepared’ sum
mit meeting in a third country in
October, according to informed
administration sources,” Washington
Post stall member Lou Cannon re
ported in his news column.
White House officials have con
firmed the report.

K N1TED NATIONS — A new
. peace proposal w'as reported
ntler consideration by Argentina
lul Britain today, sidestepping the
ryblem of sovereignty but calling for
n immediate cease-fire and the with-
raual of all forces.
J Chinese Ambassador Long Qing,
Security Council President for
lay, met with U.N. delegates
iroughout Monday to assess the
eightening military conflict and
roposals for a solution.
1 But Ambassador Carlos Ozores of
nama said U.N. Secretary General
ivier Perez de Cuellar had submitted
3lan to Argentina and Britain that
would leave the question of their
sovereignty over the islands to subse
quent negotiations.
U.S. Ambassador Jeane Kirkpat
rick said efforts for a peacef ul settle
ment must continue because of the
present “dangerous situation.”
She said she did not believe chances
for peace talks w'ere dimmed because
Foreign Ministers Nicanor Costa
Mendez of Argentina and Francis
Pym of Britain had stuck to firm posi
tions while in New York on the
weekend. Both insisted their coun
try’s sovereignty over the islands w'as
“not negotiable.”
The reported U.N. plan would be
in line with the Security Council’s
April 3 Resolution 502 that deman
ded an end to hostilities, the with
drawal of Argentine troops from the
islands and called for a diplomatic
solution by the two nations.
Mrs. Kirkpatrick called that resolu
tion a “framework for a solution” and
stressed the United States would con
tinue to work for peace, even though
it is now backing Britain in the con
flict.
Perez de Cuellar, who has
appointed a special task force to pre
pare “contingency plans” for a U.N.
role in a peaceful settlement, offered
to personally visit Buenos Aires or
London to help settle the crisis.
4^MSC could Pulse with Mpact

Battalion Staff
1 The MSC Council discussed the
progress of the proposed installation
of automatic teller machines in the
Fniversity Center complex at its
nieeting Monday.
1 Council members have considered
installation of MPACT and Pulse tel
ler machines for several months as a
"ay to alleviate long check-cashing
[lines and as a service to students.
| MSC Director Jim Reynolds told
Council members University officials
had misunderstood the Council’s role
in the acquisition of the teller
machines.
“We are gathering information to
make a proposal to (University) Busi
ness Services, so they can negotiate
contracts for the University,” he said.
Council members discussed possi
ble locations for the teller machines.
Larry Warnock, Corps of Cadets rep
resentative, suggested an outdoor ac
cess installation be considered.
He said this location would make it
easier for Corps members to make
transactions at the machines.
Other locations being considered
include a site across from the Rudder
Box Office, near the Post Office in the
MSC, and near Hart Hall .
Council President Todd Norwood
said the major factors influencing
placement of the proposed machines
were security and lighting, 24-hour
access, and the approval of University
Center complex managers.

No date set for hearing of hazing case
by Denise Richter
Battalion Staff
No date has been set for a Universi-
ty disciplinary hearing for eight
juniors dismissed from the Texas
A&M Corps of Cadets because of
their participation in a hazing inci
dent April 26.
Their case will be heard by Bill
Kibler, the University administrative
hearing officer. The cadets were re
commended for University disciplin
ary action after the case was reviewed
by Corps Commandant James R.
Woodall.
Nolen Mears, Corps area housing
coordinator, said if a case involves a
violation of University policy, it is re
ferred to the University hearing offic
er. However, he said, if the case in
volves only a violation of Corps policy,
it usually is handled through the
Corps.
Although the cadets have been dis
missed from the Corps, they even
tually could be allowed to return.
Woodall said cadets have been dis
missed before and have been allowed
to re-enter.
Mears usually handles University
discipline for cadets; however, he has
removed himself as the hearing offic
er in this case.
“There has been so much discus
sion about the case in (the Military
Sciences Building) that I didn’t feel it
would be appropriate for me to hear
the case,” Mears said. “Eve heard a lot
for and against them.”
Students involved in disciplinary
hearings have the right to be in
formed in writing of all charges at
least three class days before any hear
ing may proceed, the right to an open
hearing, the right to be represented
by counsel and the right to present
and cross-examine witnesses.
After the hearing, Kibler will de
termine the innocence or guilt of the
eight students. If they are found guil
ty, punishment ranges from a verbal
reprimand to expulsion.
If the students feel that the punish
ment is too severe or that they weren’t
given a fair trial, they can appeal to
the University Disciplinary Appeals
Panel.
Students generally have the same
rights at an appeal as they do at the
initial disciplinary hearing.
During the hazing incident, several
freshman members of Company F-2
were struck with ax handles across the
buttocks by some of the outfit’s junior
members, sources said.
University regulations prohibit
“participation in any act or threat,
physical or mental, perpetrated for
the purpose of submitting a student
or any other person to physical pain
or discomfort, indignity or humilia
tion, at any time.”
The names of the students in
volved and the eventual outcome of
the hearing are protected by the
Family Educational Rights and Priva
cy Act of 1974, better known as the
Buckley Amendment.
