Because of an error on the Brazos County precinct map, the polling place for Precinct 21 was listed at the Hensel Park Club house. But since 1982, the polls have been located at the Married Stu dent Housing office on the cor ner of Avenue A and Ball Street, Ruth McLeod, an adminstrative assistant for the county, said. "The polls haven’t been at the clubhouse for two years,” Mc Leod said. When the 1984 precinct maps were printed the error slipped through, she said. Since that time, annoucements through the me dia have been made to clear up the matter, McLeod said. McLeod said she didn’t feel the misinformation would affect the election results because signs were posted outside the club house at Hensel Park to direct the voters. 1 / / / 1 ' MHAAWWwv BED DOWN WITH A LETTER Display that Aggie pride with a quality Texas A&M comforter and pillow.

Sens. Sam Nunn, D- Ga., Bill Bradley, D-N.J., and John Warner, R-Va., easily won election to second terms. Massachusetts’ Democratic lieu tenant governor, John Kerry, who First came to fame as an antiwar Vietnam veteran, defeated high-tech millionaire Ray Shamie for the seat left open by the retirement of Demo cratic Sen. Paul Tsongas. In West Virginia, CBS and ABC projected Democratic Gov. Jay Rockefeller the winner over Repub lican businessman John Raese, who made a strong showing for the seat being vacated by veteran Democrat Jennings Randolph. By late evening, the Republicans had won 14 Senate contests, with 36 holdovers. In all, Americans voted in 32 Sen ate races and 435 House contests that will determine the alignment of the 99th Congress and affect its leg islative agenda. Signs of an early GOP surge in the House sent Republican spirits soar- ing. Reagan campaign aide Lyn Nof- ziger said it was “beginning to look like there’s going to be more coattail effect than anybody thought.” He said Democratic House Speaker Thomas “Tip” O’Neill “is going to have problems.” Republicans hoped to pick up 25 seats in the House, where the Demo crats had a 99-seat majority, to mark a return to the 1981-82 legislative heyday of President Reagan’s eco nomic program — when GOP mem bers joined with Southern Demo cratic “Boll Weevils” to enact major tax cuts and social spending reduc tions. United Press International projec tions in key races showed Democrats would retain their numerical major ity in the House, but working control of the chamber was still in question. By late evening, Democrats had won 129 seats and Republicans 89. Democrats were leading in 74 con tests and Republicans in 66. Republicans keep control of Senate United Press International WASHINGTON — Republicans kept a tight grip on control of the Senate Tuesday, giving President Reagan a strong voice on Capitol Hill. In two of the biggest races Sen. Roger Jepsen of Iowa and Sen. Charles Percy of Illinois lost. Sen. Jesse Helms, the high apostle of the Republican right wing, easily beat Gov. James Hunt in North Car olina — a showcase election that cli maxed the most expensive Senate campaign in American history. Republicans, who went into the elections with a 55-45 Senate major ity, appeared headed for no worse than a one-seat loss — a marginal erosion that should help Reagan’s second-term agenda. The only incumbents who lost were Jepsen and Sen. Walter Hud dleston of Kentucky. Jefferson County Judge Mitch McConnell scored the major upset of the night when he defeated Hud dleston, a two-term veteran, in one of the narrowest races. In Iowa, liberal Rep. Tom Harkin beat Jepsen, a conservative first termer, whose dying campaign could not be saved even by Reagan. Rep. Paul Simon, a 10-year con gressman, grabbed an early lead from Percy in Illinois and held it through the night. He did well in Chicago and Cook County and ced ing only the suburbs to Percy. Hunt and Helms spent $23 mil lion in the race for a post that pays $72,600 a year in a campaign that may have been the dirtiest of the year — with both religious and racial overtones. Rep. Albert Gore, Jr., the son of a former senator, captured Tennessee from the Republicans, defeating Victor Ashe for the seat vacated by Senate GOP leader Howard Baker. But their efforts to defeat Sen. Rudy Boschwitz in Minnesota, Sen. Cordon Humphrey in New Hamp shire and Sen. Thad Cochran in Mis sissippi failed. 15 % DISCOUNT with current A&M I.D.

Worth. “They (the Soviets) believe that the only way to develop their tech nology is through central planning,” Ward said, “they try to predict the future and plan ahead to use what’s going to happen. “Say they believe lasers will be a big thing, they educate students now to take care of that, but they weren’t prepared when the microchip came along, it caught them off-guard.” Surprisingly enough, “the Soviets tend to tell you almost anything you want to know, but when you get into detail about Soviet aircraft you don’t Find very much,” Ward said. General Dynamic uses the infor mation to develop aircraft which can aid the United States in learning more about Soviet defense. The company has developed a model, the MiG 2000. Soviet aircraft is definitely follow ing a plan, Ward said, whereas west ern aircraft is designed without a central plan. “We’ve never had a true test be tween the two systems,” he said, “but our planes are definitely better. “The Soviets know that we can do better in high technology, so they let us do that.” INTERNATIONAL HOUSE RESTAURANT Offer expires December 31,1984 Breakfast Special 99* Includes: legg (any Style), Hash Browns, Toast.
