Now he oversees about 2,()()() faculty and about 80 de partment heads in the 11 col leges at the University. “Here, every academic en deavor that’s represented by people on the campus falls under my purview,” he said. In addition to his other duties, the provost is responsible for taking over the University president's duties in case of his absence. “He (University President Frank F. Vandiver) left two bouts after 1 came to work on the first day.” Eaton said. “I got off to a fast start.” In general, Eaton said his new position catties more responsi bility than his previous one. “Basically it's it much greater breadth of responsibility, and a greater number of people answer to me here,” he said. “As a net result, it's a much faster track.” Eaton said he sees several very general responsibilities associ ated with his position as provost. “First is the responsibility of the vice president of academic affairs — to serve the various, academic constituents of the University,” he said. This in cludes serving the student body faculty and administration. “Another one is to lead in matters like academic innova tion, or in reasearch in its rela tion to graduate teaching,” he said. “In relation to the faculty, one thing I have to do from time to time is to constrain. There are a lot of very bright people on the faculty and they have lots of bright ideas and while it would be wonderful to pursue of all of these, somebody has to sort through these and make selec tions.” As part of his more formal duties, Eaton also reviews de gree programs, course propos als and plays a role in shaping the curricula of the University in periods of change. He also plays a significant role in the* University’s long-range planning activities. Despite the emphasis on mov ing toward new goals, Eaton said there are a few things that should remain unchanged. “1 would like to see us con tinue what I regard as a ver\ outstanding leadership prog ram at this institution. I am very bullish on Texas A&M Universi ty. One of the several elements that’s made me more bullish on the University since I’ve been here was the student body and a lot of the student activates, things like SCONA. “I find a lot of the students here poised and matured beyond their years and I've real ly been impressed. “I think it’s one of the unique strengths of this University. I don’t think this exists on many other campuses. I think we’ve got something here that we ought to be very proud of.” Seattle steel mill for sale SUPERIOR AUTO SERVICE Auto Repair at it’s Best 111 Royal, Bryan Just one mile north of Campus 846-5344 WAYNE PRITCHARD DAN WASKOW Fountam Forum pres nts CHRISTIANITY ON TRIAL — is Christianity credible in Today's World? — you be the judge — THIS WEEK- Christianity's Cure to Society's Illness Biblical Perspectives on: crime economic crisis social problems When: Every Wednesday 1'2:00-I:00 February 16-March 23 (Except March 16) Where: Rudder Fountain oasi< United Press International PITTSBURGH — II you can’t afford the Brooklyn Bridge, Bethlehem Steel Gorp. will make you a deal on a Seattle steel mill.

Peso to decline more, prof says United Press International ALPINE, Texas — An assoc i ate professor erf finance for the American Graduate School of International Management says the Mexican peso probably will fall to a level of 200 pesos to $ 1 before leveling off sometime in 1983.

Dickie said the peso is “grossly under valued,” judging f rom the Mex ican economic situation. He said the Mexican government has kept the peso artificially low as a means of encouraging the tour ism and exports needed to turn the country’s economy around. “The true value of the peso is about 100 to $ 1,” he said. “But a further decline in the price of oil will make it necessary for Mex ico to borrow an additional $4 billion.” “The twin plant prograBl not been exploited fullybl Mexic an government, " M “In Houston we receive.wl phone c alls a week or mmefij all over the United States^ businessmen asking how can set up a plant in Mextf Guerrero referred tothej tariff regulations which U.S. products to enter a coni lor assembly or linishingaffl turn to the United .Staiesf taxes paid only on the 4 added to the product. “American labor unions^ traditionally opposed thd plant program,” Guerrero) “But in the last eight veai'l sistence f rom organized 111 has decreased.” Bill Mitc hell, marketing<1 c tor for the* Bermudez, hill rial Park of Juarez, Mexko.*] American-owned twin along the border represenil second highest source of (Wl in Mexico, with tourism f venues in third place.
