proposals.
Former Secretaries of State Cyrus
Vance, Henry Kissinger, Alexander
Haig and Dean Rusk are being con
tacted as possible members of the
panel.
The council’s second choice was a
panel of former presidents Richard
Nixon and Jimmy Carter and former
director of the U.S. Arms Control and
Disarmament Agency Eugene Ros-
tow. The topic would be “Perspectus
on Arms Control: SALT I to
START.”
Although this was the most expen
sive program proposed, budgeted for
almost $70,000, it was the committee’s
first choice when it ranked the three
proposals in order of preference.
“This topic is definitely in line with
our goals as a committee,” Michael
Kelly, coordinator of research and
planning, said.
He said the program covered a
crucial, timely topic — arms control —
and included qualified speakers who
would focus media attention on Texas
A&M.
The committee’s second-choice
proposal, which the council picked as
its last choice, would feature Nixon by
himself. “The Price of Peace” would
be the topic.
“We feel that former president
Nixon has a unique insight into
American foreign and domestic poli
cy that would provide an educational
and informative program,” Kelly
said.
In addition, a visit from Nixon
would generate a great deal of public
ity, especially since he only accepts a
limited number of speaking engage
ments.
“If he were to come to A&M and
speak it would be quite a coup for the
MSC and our committee,” he said.
However, Denis Davis, vice presi
dent of marketing and personnel, dis
agreed.
“A single man, with a quasi-tainted
past, might not be quite as marketable
as the other programs,” she said.
Hope E. Paasch, editor of The Bat
talion, also objected to the one-man
program.
“I don’t think Richard Nixon
should be a name so wonderful in it
self that we bring him alone,” she said.
Kelsel Thompson, vice president
of cultural programs, didn’t want the
council to approve the programs in
cluding Nixon solely for the purpose
of generating publicity.
“I thought we were looking at the
educational value of the program,”
she said.
The MSC Enrichment Board,
composed of Texas A&M faculty
members and former students, will
vote on the proposal in its Oct. 29
meeting. Greg Hawkins, MSC presi
dent, said $40,000 was the amount
one of the board members said would
be feasible for the lecture series.
The foreign relations program has
an estimated $56,000 budget. Chris
Barnes, vice president for develop
ment, said the cost would be an im
portant factor in the board’s decision.
“I don’t want us to be faced with
raising a substantial amount of money
and accelerate our plans more than
we feel comfortable with right now,”
he said. “I think it’s important to look
at the fact that we still have $ 15,000 to
raise from last year.
“From our standpoint, it would be
easier to choose a program where
funds would be limited, and not shoot
for such lofty goals.”
Also during the council meeting,
Beth Ann Henry, vice president of
entertainment, announced that Town

White House aides indicated they
were not surprised Watt decided to
quit, particularly in view of mounting
pressure from Republicans but they
had expected him to wait until return
ing to Washington.
Reagan only smiled and waved —
and made no comment about Watt —
when he arrived at the White House
Monday on his return from Camp
David.
He is expected to meet with top
advisors Tuesday to begin assessing
candidates for the $80,000-a-year
Cabinet post.
Speculation on who Reagan will
pick centered on former Sen. Clifford
Hansen, R-Wyo., who was said to have
turned down the post in 1980 before
it was offered to Watt; Rep. Manuel
Lujan, R-N.M. and former House Re
publican leader John Rhodes of Ari

Others whose names have cropped
up in recent days as potential replace

drink to do so responsibly, Jan Winni-
ford, assistant director of student
affairs, says.
Responsible drinking means rec
ognizing another’s right not to drink
and making sure that drinking is not
the primary focus of an activity, she
says. Refusing to condone excessive
drinking or drunkenness, and pro
viding non-alcoholic beverages and
food when alcohol is served also are
important, Winniford says.
Alcohol Awareness Weeksis held
nationally at other colleges and uni
versities each semester, Winniford
says. The Alcohol Awareness Prog
ram here is sponsored by a grant from
the Texas Commission on Alcohol.
This semester’s program will focus
on myths about alcohol, the concept
of responsible drinking, and the new
laws concerning driving while intoxi
cated. A program will be held at 6:30
p.m. today in Lounge B in the Quad
rangle, and at 7 p.m. Wednesday in
the front Commons lounge.
Handouts will be distributed on
campus and a table will be set up in the
Memorial Student Center where stu
dents can pick up information on
alcohol and drinking.
In addition to Alcohol Awareness
Week, the student affairs department
offers other services for drinkers.
A guide for planning parties is
available at the student affairs office
in the YMCA Building. The guide in
cludes a list of party facilities includ
ing guidelines for buying alcohol for
groups.
The guide also offers tips on im
mediate care for the intoxicated per
son: don’t try to sober them up, don’t
try to make them exercise, and stay
with them until someone can drive
^em home.

EPA scandal ‘whistle blower’

Gene Ann Pyle, a freshman business major
from Temple, smiles as her picture is taken
for the 1984 Aggieland Yearbook. Pictures
are being taken throughout this week in the
Pavilion. Friday is the last day for
freshmen and sophomores pictures.
Hugh Kaufman, the man
known as the “whistle blower” in
the recent Environmental Pro
tection Agency scandal, will
speak on “Scandal: The Hidden
Risks Of Toxic Waste” at 8
tonight in Rudder Theater.
Kaufman, the assistant direc
tor of the EPA’s hazardous site
control division, has frequently
criticized President Reagan’s
administration for failing to en
force E.P.A. regulations.
“If a foreign agent wanted to
poison the American people,”
Kaufman says, “he wouldn’t
change U.S. hazardous waste
policies one iota.”
During the Carter adminis
tration, Kaufman was a key fi
gure in drafting the “Super
fund” Act, which was designed
to control toxic waste.
When EPA administrators
Ann Gorsuch and Rita L.avelle
were accused of political misuse
of the funds from that act, Kauf
man was caught in the center of
the controversy.
Kaufman joined the EPA just
after president Nixon estab
lished it in 1971.
He was one of the first
appointees to the hazardous
waste division, later becoming
the chief investigator for hazar
dous waste sites.
The program, sponsored by
MSC Great Issues committee, is
50 cents for students and $1 for
the public.
Faculty Senate OKs bylaws

As the Faculty Senate gets its house
keeping out of the way. Speaker John
J. McDermott says it can begin to
focus on academic issues.
The Senate Monday approved 18
laborious pages of bylaws by which it
is regulated, and can now begin to get
down to business.
McDermott told the Senate during
its monthly meeting it is now responsi
ble for the approval of curriculum
material, degree programs and policy
changes coming from the Graduate
Council.
The Senate also approved a com
mittee on academic computing at
A&M.
The resolution on computing com
mittee is a sub-committee to the plan
ning committee. The planning com
mittee has the authority to study and
recommend action on policies affect
ing University development, the use
of resources, libraries, computing and
other facilities affecting academics.
