Brazos County plans
anniversary festivities
By JILL GOLDEN
Reporter
The Texas Sesquicenten-
n i a I, marking the 150th
anniversary of Texas’ inde
pendence from Mexico, is still
two years away, but Brazos
County already has begun
planning its part in the celeb
ration.
The Texas 1986 Ses-
quicentennial Commission in
Austin, has invited Texas
cities and counties to join in
the festivities. So far, 32 com
munities have been sanc
tioned to participate in the
year-long commemoration.
Brazos County has yet to be
officially approved, but a
planning committee has been
appointed to recommend a
chairman and a coordinating
committee of 20-30 people.
Committee members must be
approved by College Station
Mayor Gary Haller, Bryan
Mayor Ron Blatchley and
County Judge Dick Holm-
green.
Members will be recom
mended by the planning com
mittee. Members of the plan
ning committee include Phyl
lis Dozier, director of the Bra
zos Center, Dr. Carolyn Adair
of Texas A&rM, Margaret Ann
Zipn representing The Bryan/
College Station Eagle, Anne
Bell representing Halter, Peg
gy Calliham representing
Blatchley, and Clara Mounce
representing the Chamber of
Commerce.
Dozier expects the chair
man and coordinating com
mittee to be appointed in the
next 30 days. The committee’s
job will be to devise a master
plan of all groups taking part
in the celebration and to make
sure all events are approp
riate.
Once the master plan has
been accepted in Austin, Bra
zos County officially can begin
using stickers, logos, and
other Sesquicentennial items
to publicize the celebration.
Dozier said at this time few
people are aware of the Ses
quicentennial, so the commit
tee plans to conduct a wide
spread publicity campaign.
Adair said the main idea of
the celebration is for the com-
munity to have fun.
Possible events through the
year include rodeos, lecture
series, and community work
projects.
A major Sesquicentennial
event already well under way
is a statewide wagon train trip
circling 2,800 miles through
Texas from January until
June. To date, it is not sche
duled to stop in Brazos Coun
ty, but Dozier said she hopes a
stop here will be added later.
The closest scheduled stop for
the train is Brenham, about 35
miles away.

ATLANTA — Confident Re-
i publican leaders from 13 South-
IQl ern states where President
Reagan got 30 percent of his
1980 electoral vote will meet this
week to set Southern strategy
for his re-election campaign.
Officially, the Republican
National Committee’s “South-
(j ;i(j pq, ern leadership conference” is
horitiessr as a P e P ra Ny lo organize
fund-raising and voter-
registration activities for the
party.
Unofficially, the four-day
round of seminars and social
events affords the GOP an
opportunity to draw attention to
its strength in a region that
Democratic leaders agree is the
key to the 1984 election.
Recent polls indicate former
iburbanls ^ president Walter Mondale
p.m. Saw ^ as w ' t l e appeal among decided
Democrats, and is leading Sen.
ohn Glenn, D-Ohio. The polls
ilso show both men trailing
ieagan in the South.
. The president carried every
Southern state in 1980 — except
Jx-President Carter’s native
Georgia — and got 147 of his
^89 electoral votes from the re-
arentlyw- g>on.
eralsherifi Reagan is scheduled lo
momentsli address the opening session of
stoutena» P e GOP conference Thursday,
out oftl M °re than 1,000 Republican
^tate chairmen, RNC members
and other Reagan supporters
dered abot' are expected to attend,
ider said States participating in the re
fill | 10na ^ conference are Alabama,
learcho! \tkansas, Florida, Georgia,
1130,00 c Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississip-
runsstasl* h, North Carolina, Oklahoma,
Sliders* 1 South Carolina, Tennessee,
pexas and Virginia.
L GOP leaders are confident
Mondale will be Reagan’s oppo
nent.
| Anybody who’s totally realis-
ic knows that at the moment
Blondale is clearly the frontrun
ner,” said Montgomery Mayor
Emory Folmar, Reagan’s re-
election chairman for Alabama.
‘‘It’s Walter Mondale’s nomi
nation to lose at this point,” said
Warren Tompkins, director of
the South Carolina GOP.
Other Republican leaders
said Reagan would run well
against any liberal and express
ed little concern about Demo
cratic candidate Jesse Jackson’s
southwide campaign to register
2 million new voters, especially
blacks and the poor.
Marly Connors, director of
the Alabama GOP, said Jack
son’s efforts may backfire on
Democrats in the South.
“It’s a two-edged sword; the
more credibility Jackson gets,
the more unfriendly faces he
brings out to vote,” said Con
nors.
“But his mere presence in
spires many conservative Demo
crats to come in droves to the
Republican Party,” he said.
The number of unregistered,
voting-age blacks in 10 of the 13
states in 1982 was far greater —
as much as 10 times more —
than the margin of Reagan’s vic
tory in 1980.
Jackson’s standard campaign
speech now includes a virtual
demand that everyone in his au
dience be registered, and he
sometimes concludes by leading
a march to the registrar’s office.
“I’m not overly concerned
with his drive,” said Tennessee
GOP chairman Susan
Richardson-Williams.
“Maybe Jackson’s drive is a
good thing, in that it has made us
focus on registration — but we
probably would have done it
anyway,” she said.
Tompkins, the South Caroli
na state party leader, said “we’ve
got to work real hard” to coun
teract Jackson’s appeal for the
Democrats. Tompkins said it is
important for Reagan to hold
the southern vote.
Virginia GOP director San
dra Riley said, “We’re going into
the black community, talk to the
black community and talk to
them about their concerns.”
Party leaders echoed the
White House position that eco
nomic recovery under Reagan
has improved the lot of millions
of poor people, including many
Southern blacks.

Leader threatens Lebanon
United Press International
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Druze
Moslem leader Walid Jumblatt
demanded Sunday that Presi
dent Amin Gemayel resign or
face a civil war that could mean
“the complete destruction of
Lebanon.”
It was Jumblatt’s harshest
threat yet against the Christian-
dominated government, already
beset by fierce daily battles with
Syrian-backed Moslem
militiamen that last week killed
40 people and wounded more
than 100.
The army exchanged rocket
and shellfire with Druze militia
men around Qabr Shamoun in
the mountains 8 miles southeast
of Beirut, and fought Shiite
Moslems in the southern sub
urbs, radio reports said.
The Christian Phalange
Voice of Lebanon radio said one
army soldier was killed and
three civilians were wounded in
the dashes in the suburbs.
In Washington, Secretary of
State George Shultz responded
to the latest threats of civil war by
reaffirming U.S. allegiance to
the Gemayel government and
noting that Jumblatt’s warning
appeared Lo be inspired by
Moscow.
“We will not stop fighting this
time unless and until the
Gemayel government resigns,
even if that means the complete
destruction of Lebanon,” Jumb
latt said in an interview with the
Amman-based Jordan Times.
“Our position is one of all-out
challenge to the Lebanese gov
ernment,” he said. “Until a real
and acceptable political settle
ment to the crisis of Lebanon is
found, the fighting will not
stop.”
Jumblatt, who in the past has
demanded the resignation of
the Cabinet but not the presi
dent, said Gemayel failed to
abrogate the May 17 Lebanese-
Israeli troop withdrawal accord

as instructed by the Moslem-
Christian national reconciliation
conference in November.
Jumblatt vowed his forces
would fight the Lebanese army,
“no matter how much arms and
ammunition the United States
gives,” charging it is a Christian
force out to annihilate the
Druze.
In an interview with ABC
News, Jumblatt called his move
“a logical demand to avoid more
killing, more destruction in
Lebanon,” he said. “I don’t see
another way out. I hope to see
another way out, but I don’t see
it.”
Shultz, also interviewed by
ABC, noted that Jumblatt spoke
from Damascus after returning
from talks with Soviet leaders in
Moscow. “So it looks as if those
influences on him are having an
impact,” Shultz said.
Despite Jumblatt’s threat, a
government delegation will go
to Damascus for talks on cease
fire violations with Syrian lead
ers and Jumblatt, the indepen
dent Central News Agency re
ported.
Education Minister Issam
Khoury, however announced
schools will remain shut Monday
if they are located in risky areas
— a sign the government was
taking the Druze leader’s state
ments seriously.
