Thursday, October 11,1984/The Battalion/Page 5 Porsche president speaks to finance, marketing classes By KARI FLUEGEL Staff Writer Porsche President Peter Schutz will be visiting Texas A&M and talk ing to several business classes this week as part of the Visiting Exec utive Series. Last year through the Visiting Ex ecutive Series, the College of Busi ness Administration sponsored lec tures by more than 80 executives. Schutz’s visit also is sponsored by the finance and marketing departments. Schutz, who has been president of Porsche since 1981, will speak to three business classes today and Fri day. Schutz presented two lectures to day. First, he discussed “The Deci sion to Go Public” with a Finance 630 class at 9:30 a.m. in 156 Blocker. At 11 a.m. he discussed “The mar keting Philosophy at Porsche” with a Marketing 321 class in 102 Blocker. On Friday, he will present one lec ture to another marketing class at 10 a.m. in 102 Blocker.

Glen McDaniel, a senior RP major from Houston, is this year’s state vice president of the 80-member student delegation. Crompton and McDaniel were elected to their one-year terms at the TRAPS state convention in Fort Worth last week. Crompton is a registered profes sional — a status only 10 percent of the TRAPS members achieve. Only registered professionals are eligible for TRAPS state offices, Crompton said. The registration process includes passing research and objective exams and undergoing a series of interviews. The Univerity’s RP program is recognized as one of the finest in the state, he said. There are only eight RP departments in colleges and uni versities in Texas. Crompton said his election as TRAPS president will bring further visibility and credibility to A&M and the RP program. As a result it will be much easier for the department to place graduates in top-paying jobs, he said. Crompton, a businessman in En gland during the 1970s, came to the United States 10 years ago for grad uate study work. The Englishman kept his British accent, but not his homeland ties. He became a United States citizen in 1982. NATO alliance to be subject of discussion The Supreme Allied Com mand Atlantic will give a presen tation to the Texas A&M Naval ROTC unit on Thursday at 5 p.m. in Rudder Auditorium. A NROTC spokesman said the presentation will cover how the NATO alliance developed. Also discussed will be the organization and administration, the Soviet threat, and NATO’s answer to that threat. Students, faculty and staff are invited to attend.

Council to hear bids on office renovations The College Station City Council will consider bids for renovation of the Municipal Building at its regular meeting in city hall at 7 tonight. Office space in two older sections of the building will be redone to ac comodate five city departments, City Manager North Bardell said. The council also will consider a re quest for reimbursement for street construction by a developer in the Emerald Forest subdivision. The city requests that streets in a subdivision meet its specifications, but College Station reimburses a de veloper for costs incurred by meet ing those specifications. The council has not included in its agenda any discussion of railroad crossing at Luther Street, the site where two Texas A&M students were killed in two unrelated car- train collisions about two weeks ago. Any discussion of the crossing would come up during the time the council has set aside to hear from visitors, Bardell said. At the meeting, the council also will designate Oct. 12-13, 1984 as “Brazos Bohemianfest” in College Station, and it will consider two final plats.
