Serving the University community College Station, Texas Monday, October 11, 1982 Reagan to visit Dallas United Press International SANTA BARBARA — President Reagan, facing a barrage of criticism for an upsurge in unemployment, in tends to stress his “dramatic progress” in lowering interest rates and infla tion in the waning weeks of the con gressional campaign, aides indicate. After spending a relaxed weekend at his mountaintop ranch, Reagan flies to Dallas today for two political appearances in support of Republi can senatorial candidate Rep. James Collins, who has an uphill battle against incumbent Democrat Lloyd Bentsen. Afterwards Reagan will head back to Washington, where he will spend the rest of the week, highlighted by a nationally broadcast “progress re port” on the economy at 7:30 p.m. EDT Wednesday. White House spokesman Larry Speakes has labeled the address “non partisan,” but speaker Thomas O’Neill already has made a protest to all three major networks for giving Reagan time for what he calls “a pa tently political address for an elec tion.” NBC said it will air the address, but a spokesman for CBS said “no final decision” had been made although it was “likely” the network will carry the address. ABC said it was undecided. The harshest criticism for Reagan Sunday came from AFL-CIO Presi dent Lane Kirkland. “Never before in history have two crack-brained theories like supply- side economics and cultist monetar ism had a more extensive trial and been proved so wrong, to the great harm of so many people so quickly,” said Kirkland during an appearance on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” Chief of Staff James Baker said in a broadcast on ABC-TV Sunday that Reagan deplores the 10.1 percent un employment “and we’re going to do what we can to remedy that situation.” But, he added, “We’re making dra matic progress on two fronts — infla tion has been reduced by over 50 per cent, and interest rates are down by some 40 percent.” Baker also insisted that the 11.3 million people out of work would not be a dramatic election issue or “a watershed event” as far as the ballot ing on Nov. 2 is concerned. He said the administration does not believe it will be hurt badly be cause it had been anticipated for some time that the jobless rate would top 10 percent. Furthermore, he said that “the 99 to 100 million Americans who are em ployed are considerably better off than they were two years ago by reason of increased purchase power. “Their taxes are down and infla tion is down, and they’ve got more real take-home pay,” he added. Reagan’s political advisers and the GOP campaign committees were working out the final stages of the president’s participation in the cam paign. So far, only one other date has been set for the president to travel. He will fly to Peroria, Ill., Oct. 20 for an appearance in support of Rep. Bob Michel, the House Republican leader, and the following morning will fly to Omaha, Neb.

Fowler Battalion Reporter Greg Carter leads a normal type of life of a sophomore health major — or he did until Sept. 28. That's when 20 year old Car ter walked away from Graham's Central Station with a new stereo system and the title of Brvan-College Station's Most Eligible Bachelor. Carter says now his life has changed. Carter, who is from Lubbock, said the contest, cosponsored by Graham's Central Station and WTAW radio, gave him a chance to meet people. Not only did he meet the other contes tants, but also people from the audience. He is often approached by people, females in particular, that remember him from the competition. Carter, along with about 100 other applicants were asked to fill out an entry form on appear- ence description and personal ity traits. The forms were gone over by four judges individual ly, who selected 23 young men for the preliminary round that "When they announced my name, it was like somebody hit mein the face. I couldn't believe it." — Eligible Bachelor Greg Carter was held Sept. 21. From those semi-finalists, 10 were selected to compete in the finals on Sept. 28. Carter, who entered the con test at the prompting of several Greg Carter friends and a couple of waitres ses at Graham's, said he's get ting used to the word "eligible." "My brother and friends call me 'Mr. Eligible', and at work (Julie's Place) I'm the 'Eligible Cook.'" He had second thoughts after he entered the contest. Carter said, but when he heard about the prizes he realized he had lit tle to lose and a lot to gain. In deed he did. barter's prize was a Sher wood fully automated remote control stereo system which in cludes an amplifier, pre amplifier, turntable, cassete deck, and 2 Acculab speakers. Carter said the stereo is great. "It was a fine prize," he said. "It sounds great, and it's a lot of fun. You can sit on the couch and play the turn table, a casset te, or the radio without getting up." Carter was selected by the four judges on appearence, composure and personality. Appearence was based on grooming and dress. Compo sure was based on the attitude and state of the contestant. Per sonality was based on how the contestant answered questions asked him by the Mistress of Ceremonies, Neoma Salamon, from KBTX TV. The judges were Mary Mike Hatcher from WTAW radio; Teddie Sue Herron, "Cowgirl 10"; Keely Santerre, Miss Fort Worth; and Gina Gieger, Miss Texas A&M. Carter said he almost was overcome when he was annouced the winner. "After the second runner up and the first runner up had been announced, I set myself up to congratulate the winner. When they announced my name, it was like somebody hit me in the face. I couldn't believe it," he said. Carter gave credit for his win ning to his appearence and his attitude. "I just decided to have fun and tried not to get nervous," he said. "When Neoma (Salamon) asked for me to come on stage for my question, I just smiled and tried to look a little cocky, but not over-confident. I couldn't even hear the crowd's response. It was like all I heard roaring. My ears were numb and my knees were weak." Carter said he was very im pressed with the way things were run. "In the preliminaries, you had to answer the question real fast; you didn't have much time at all, probably because of how many of us there were. But in the finals they gave you more time." thursdax; movies MORNING 6:00 CBN ★★★ “Force Of Evil” (1948) John Garfield, Marie Wind sor.

The commandant cited an especially gifted incoming class as another reason why he expects the Corps to improve academically. “I think it’s clear to our seniors and our juniors that these freshmen are a cut above the average bear,” he said. en he he ch, m- iu- er- .he Uy. :vi- it’s jot ps me
