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.

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 by Patrice Koranek Battalion Staff 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. ” — UT delegates SCONA 28 DISCOVER WHAT’S MAKING THE DIFFERENCE MSC Student Conference On National Affairs New Member Interviews Dr Applications Available Room 216 MSC MARCH 21 — APRIL 1 oan Jett o sing it A&M TEXAS A&M MECHANIZED AGRICULTURE CLUB Spring Lawnmower Clinic lock performers Joan Jett and le Blackhearts are coming to * ggieland.
