Faculty Senate
to consider
financial policy
|: The A&M Faculty Senate will
meet today at 3:15 p.m. in 601 Rud-
der Tower.
|| The Senate will hear a special ad
dress from Vice President of Aca
demic Affairs Gordon P. Eaton on
the proposed change in the financial
support policy of international stu
dents.
H Eaton will explain a new Univer
sity policy adopted in August by the
Graduate Council. The council rec
ommends that the Faculty Senate
also adopt the policy.
|i The policy says:
H “The University will defer the
awarding of assistantships (or like fi-
|:|ancial assistance) to an interna
tional graduate student until the stu
dent has demonstrated the
appropriate English language skill
levels needed to carry out the duties
of the assistantship and is registered
in TAMU for at least nine semester
credit hours during the regular se
mester or four semester credit hours
during a summer term.”

Mondale said. “The president
says if you want to know what his
■ program is for the next four
■ years, look what I proposed in the
| past — so you know what’s going
to happen.”
Reagan responded that he only
proposed reductions backed by
Democrats in the House when the
Social Security program was
going broke.
“A president should never say
never ... but I’m going to break
that rule ... I will never stand for a
reduction of Social Security bene
fits," Reagan said.
“That very commitment was
made in 1980 and what was pro
posed was a reduction,” Mondale
fired back. “The people know
what happened.”
“The most outrageous thing of
| this campaign and the one in
1980 ... is that somehow I’m
going to pull the Social Security
plug out from under the elderly,”
Reagan said. “Let’s lay it to rest
[once and for all. I told you
never.”
The two clashed on the deficit.
Mondale saying Reagan had no
plan and would be forced to raise
taxes after the election while the
president hit his challenger on his
pledge to raise taxes.
[ It was the first of two debates
i between the candidates. The sec-
|ond confrontation, on foreign
| policy issues, is scheduled for Oct.
121 in Kansas City, Mo.

“When we find the ships, they
will be excavated, restored and
put on display (in Jamaica’s pro
posed museum),” Smith said.
[ wa!* 1 “We’re focusing on one particular
place where I feel sure the ships
are.”
To survey the waters around
; Jamaica’s northern coast, archae-
ologists used a magnetometer,

the earth’s magnetism caused by
man-made features such as iron
objects or buried stone founda
tions.

voyages, and since 1982, Smith
has spent his summers in Jamaica
looking for the buried caravels.
Last summer, he and a crew of
about 10 worked were there for
al [ f two months until they narrowed
After the device detected mag
netic signals, a sonar device that
penetrates soft sea-bed sediments
was attached to a boat, and the
area was again searched.
The remains of the caravels are
covered with sediment deposition
from the sea and land. This soft
deposition “covers the remains
that are there so that oxygen •
doesn’t get to them.
“Everything that we excavate
has to be kept wet until it can be
treated in the laboratory, because
if it dries out, it’s destroyed,”
Smith said.
Allowing the remains to dry
out could cause them to shrink or
deteriorate, he said.
Smith said he and the rest of
the crew have had to put their ef
forts on hold through next spring
because of academic obligations,
but they plan to resume their
search next summer.
“If we don’t Find (the ships),
we’ll have done some very careful
research, and we’ll be able to tell
the Jamaican governmen t the his
tory of the north coast of the is
land,” Smith said. “But I think
we’ll find them, and it’s only a
matter of time.”
