WILD’ plans
for students
by PJ. Fowler
Battalion Reporter
The Texas A&M Student
Programs Office has initiated
the Wilderness Institute for
Leadership Development
(WILD) for students in
terested in being certified for
leadership in outdoor activi
ties.
John Dedwylder, director
of the program, said WILD is
meant to enable its members
to teach others to enjoy the
outdoors safely.
WILD is part of the Wil
derness Education Institu
tion, a national outdoor prog
ram. It is one of the few orga
nizations that offers the Out
door Leadership Certificate,
which can provide higher re
commendations for job
opportunities.
The program will encom
pass all parts of outdoor edu
cation and recreation. Curri
culum will include such topics
as clothing, travel techniques,
equipment and first aid.
Participants in the program
will be taught rock climbing,
rappelling, and river running
and will practice the activities
on monthly field trips.
Dedwylder said the prog-
i is being developed to pro-
: consistent, skilled leaders
ram i
vide (
for University-sponsored stu
dent outdoor recreational
trips.
Dedwylder said the prog
ram is designed to:
— Teach others how to use
and enjoy the wilderness with
minimum impact
— Safely lead others in the
wild
— Exercise good judge
ment in a variety of outdoor
environments and conditions
— Demonstrate the basic
knowledge and leadership
skills obtained through di
verse outdoor experiences.
Rena Koessler, who has
taught various outdoor train
ing programs since 1977,
came from Wyoming to teach
wilderness education at A&M.
WILD is scheduled to meet
twice a month for the entire
year. Those chosen for the
program will be given a
chance to qualify for certifica
tion in a three or four week
summer field experience.
Applications can be picked
up at the meeting or in the
Student Programs Office, 216
MSG. Deadline for applica
tions is October 6.

Battalion Staff
General Vernon Walters,
senior advisor to Secretary of
State George Schulz, will speak
at 8 tonight on “The State of
American Foreign Policy” in
Rudder Auditorium.
Walters has been a top figure
in U.S. foreign policy since
World War II and serves as
ambassador-at-large.
Walters speaks eight lan
guages, has served as an inter
preter for Harry Truman and
Dwight Eisenhower, and has
been the deputy director and
acting director of the Central In
telligence Agency.
He is the author of three
books — “Silent Missions,”
“Sunset at Saigon,” and “The
Mighty and the Meek.”
Since his retirement in 1976,
Walters has spoken widely on in
telligence and international
affairs.
“It’s incredible we’re having
him (Walters) here to speak be
cause he’s one of the most im
portant figures in government
today,” Great Issues Committee
Chairman David Franzjr., said.
“Walters will look at whafs
going on in the world right now
and how it relates to the United
States and U.S. foreign policy,”
Franz said.
Walters’ topics will include:
events in the Middle East, the
Arab-Israeli conflict, America’s
involvement in El Salvador and
the manner in which the Reagan
Administration views the role
the United States should play in
world politics, Franz said.
Walters previously was sche
duled to speak on April 26. He
was forced to cancel due to his
involvement in the negotiations
between Britain and Argentina
when the two nations went to
war over the Falkland Islands.
Franz said he is sure every
thing has been confirmed and
that this program will not be
cancelled.
Admission to the program is
free.

Actors in 3-D movies seem to
jump off the screen but it’s just
an illusion that mimics the
body’s own imaging process.
Science Digest magazine re
ports that early 3-D filmmakers
shot a scene with two cameras
simultaneously positioning
them to duplicate the angle at
which the eye would see the
scene. The resulting films were
then tinted — one red and the
other blue-green — and shown
on a single screen via two projec
tors.

Small businesses are
computers’ target
by Janet Joyce
Battalion Reporter
One of the fastest growing
businesses in the world today is
the microcomputer industry —
and one of the industry’s main
targets is the small business.
“Our goal is to sell a micro
computer to every small busi
ness in Bryan-College Station,”
said Ken Bertelson, acting man
ager of the Radio Shack Compu
ter Center.
Twenty years ago that goal
would have been impossible.
Computers required hardware
housed in warehouse-sized faci
lities. Even if a business had such
a facility available, computer
cost was prohibitive and skilled
computer programmers were
hard to find.
Today, microcomputers with
greater capablilities than their
predecessors weigh about 30
pounds and are the size of a
small television receiver
attached to a keyboard.
In addition to the reduction
in size of computers, a drastic
reduction in price has made
computers easily within the
reach of most small businesses.
A small business can purchase a
complete, first-class computer
hardware (the physical pieces of
machinery) system for 110,000,
Bertelson said.
And software (prepackaged
computer programs) for micro
computers is now available.
Programs available include
accounting, inventory and word
processing. The price of soft
ware ranges from $30 to $500,
with the average program in the
$100 to $300 price range, Ber
telson said.
To make the acquisition of
microcomputers easier, some
stores are offering their own
financing and most area banks
also will issue loans for micro
computers.
Dr. John Hoyle, a professor
of educational administration at
Texas A&M University who
teaches a graduate course in
futurism, predicts that voice-
sensitive computers will be
readily available within eight
years. They will be easier to op
erate than current models and
therefore more popular for
home use, he said.
“Microcomputers are more
common in businesses (than in
homes) now, because that’s
where the money is,” Hoyle said.
“It’s a matter of survival;
businesses must be able to man
age their inventories.”
Computers are a necessity for
business, but schools and com
munities are not computerized
enough yet to require a compu
ter in every home, Hoyle said.
