“There are four particular
tes tliat we’re going to have to
pple with in the next year or
> that are going to determine
basic relationships between
Upited States and some of
major powers of the world,”
rner said Tuesday night in
speech, sponsored by MSC
itical Forum.
The First of these issues deals
hi the relationship between
: U S. and the Soviet Union
ce the addition of new leader-
p on both sides, he said.
‘I believe we should try to
ipep channels of communica-
n as best we can,” Turner
d, explaining that since the
viet Union’s invasion of
ghanistan relations and com-
mications with the Soviet Un-
i have been cooled.
Turner also suggested that
^■United States explore
iether the Soviets are sincere
any offers they make and said
■ should not assume their talk
all propaganda.
Another issue is how the Un-
d Stales will strengthen and
build its military position.
Turner suggested that the
aited States, to deter nuclear
tacks and increase its military
>wer, should not support a
Thursday talks to consider
airport development needs
The Texas Aeronautical Com
mission will meet in the Brazos
Center at 10 a.m. Thursday to
discuss airport development
needs of seven local counties.
The meeting will consider
airport facility developments in
Brazos, Burleson, Grimes,
Leon, Madison, Robertson and
Washington counties.
Items scheduled for discus
sion are the availability of state
and federal funds for airport
development, information on
area economic development,
community goals and objectives
and preservation of airport faci
lities.
Participating in the meeting
will be city and county officials,
airport board members, airport
managers and representatives
from the Brazos Valley Develop
ment Council.
Developments at Easterwood
Airport are not scheduled to be
a major discussion topic for the
meeting. However, the meeting
will be an open discussion of all
inquiries into area airport de
velopments.
Citizens with an interest in air
transportation and airport de
velopment are invited to attend
in 102 Brazos Center, located at
3232 Briarcrest Drive in Bryan.

nuclear freeze but should be
willing to move on the higher
levels of nuclear development.
With investment in nuclear
cruise missiles, small but skm
nuclear weapons, Turner said
the United States could discour
age nuclear attack on themselves
while not appearing to pose an
immediate threat to other coun
tries. He said that w ith large, fast
nuclear weapons other coun
tries feel threatened and thus
are more likely to rush into a
nuclear confrontation.
1 The third issue involves re
solving differences between
Israel and the Palestinians in the
Middle East. The fourth issue
concerns ways in which the Un
ited States can build policies and
institutions to help keep free
world economies strong.
Turner said 25 developing
countries, which have been
operating under large debts,
now are unable to get bank loans
and look to the United States
and International Monetary
Fund for assistance. The un
sound world economic condi
tion burdens the United States,
U.S. taxpayers and banks, he
said, and the United States
should determine plans to re
lieve the economic condition.
Dorm degrees stir gripes

Students returning from
tring break not only found
ddltemperatures outside, but
rofin their dorm rooms. For
te past three or four years the
eat in the dorms has been
trned off during spring break,
central area coordinator
/y/joni Murray.
' p “It’s a hassle every year,”
_1
Murray said. “Once we convert
to heat in the fall or air condi
tioning in the spring it’s an
irreversible process.”
Area coordinators contact
head residents of the dorms,
who check with hall residents ab
out turning off the heat, Murray
said. This year residents were
ready to have the heat turned
off because warm weather had
arrived before spring break, he
said.
Corps-type halls on the north
and south sides of campus are
heated by high-temperature wa
ter passing through units in each
room. The balcony-style dorms
and the modular dorms have
their own regulators so heat
turns on when it’s cold and air
conditioning turns on when it’s
hot.
Murray said the staffs of the
affected halls contacted their re
sidents before the switch was
made and residents said they
would rather wear a sweater
than be too warm.
Fiona McCracken, Briggs
Hall head resident, said she had
received complaints, from resi
dents before spring break be
cause it was warm in the rooms.
Now' people are complaining be
cause the rooms are cold.
“And thanks largely to our SCONA experience, to the
entire A&M population we reluctantly confess a hereto
fore well guarded secret: It strikes us that to be an
Aggie is an honor of which one can be most proud. ”
