Tower narrowly won re- election in 1978 by less than 1 percent, or 12,227 vote, margin over then U.S. Rep. Robert C. Krueger of New Braunfels.

Dolph Briscoe and U.S. Rep. Kent Hance, D-Texas, also are con sidering running. Observers believe Texas Democrats are more unified than in previous years. For Republicans, a Tower vic tory or failure could determine whether Reagan again carries Texas, whether Republicans will maintain their five-seat Senate majority and whether the Re publican influence in Texas will grow or diminish during the 1980s. For Democrats, defeating Tower would increase the momentum established in 1982 when the party’s candidates swept state-wide races. It could also catapult Sen. Lloyd Bentsen into the chairmanship of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. And it would mean that Democrats would control every major state office for the first time since 1960.

Students to A & M Students: DO YOU KNOW REPRESENTATIVES OF YOUR STUDENT GOVERNMENT TESTIFIED IN AUSTIN FOR A TUITION INCREASE? They Did! About the only time Aggies and Longhorns get together is on opposite sides of a football field. We don't mind opposing you on^ the field; but we never thought we'd be opposing you at the State Legislature on such a fundamental issue as tuition. Like nearly every other organized student lobbying group in the state, the University of Texas' Student Lobby has been working hard to keep our tuition low, which is especially crucial as the cost of books, living expenses, and student fees continue to accelerate. We elicited a public pledge from Gov. Mark White during his campaign to veto any tuition increase, as part of his commitment to keeping higher education affordable for all Texans. Moreover, we have talked to literally dozens of state senators and representatives who feel as we do that a tuition increase will only push higher education out of the reach of many Texans who can barely afford the cost of their tuition and fees today. But despite all this, your Aggie increase is inevitable, and they 550% in 7 years!! Legislative Study Group says that a tuition support a plan which would increase your tuition If you believe that your tuition does need to be raised, then your representatives are serving you well. But if like us, believe that an increase in tuition would only damage Texas' higher education, then your representatives are not representing your interests. Your Legislative Study Group is telling legislators that Aggies want to increase their own tuition. It is not our desire to meddle in A & M's campus politics; nor is it our wish to fight the Aggies anywhere except on the athletic field. We just thought many of you would want to join us in this effort to keep education affordable for you and us and future students in all of our state supported colleges and universities.
