The MSC is more than a building, Wood said. It is the campus unit re sponsible for 98 percent of the pro gramming on campus. “I don’t buy for one minute the bogus, lazy remark that Bryan-Col- lege Station is a rural cowtown. That’s bullshit,” Wood said while discussing the MSC programming activities. “Tell me how many rural cow- towns have had the London Philhar monic, Alabama, an economic de bate between Buckley and Galbraith, a lecture by Alex Haley, a Guatema lan native weavings exhibit, a profes sional photography workshop — to name a few — all in the space of 19 days.” Though Wood said he was proud of the work the more than 1,600 stu dents involved with the MSC were doing this year, he also said there are some programming areas being missed by the MSC. For example, Wood said the MSC should have sponsored a free-speech symposium like the one sponsored by Students Working Against Many Problems (SWAMP) two weeks ago. “Quite honestly, that’s something the MSC should have been doing all along,” he said. Wood also discussed the MSC By MAR Health physical, s director ol Sports.

The MSC now provides serives such as the Stu dent Finance Center, Rumours, the MSC Box Office (located in Rudder Tower) and the Student Programs Office. When asked about expanding MSC facilities, Wood said expansion was definitely needed and, the MSC Council was looking into expanding. “T he more places for students to sit and relax or study, the better off this campus is going to he,” Wood said. The final MSC goal discussed by Wood during the symposium was personal development. MSC, he has gained skills in commit nicating, planning, problem soltint time managing, policy making ami program evaluating. Wood said the students involved with the MSC get a lot of hands-on business experience. He said that during his time associated with the Wood also said that thosestudm who are involved with the MSCatt volunteers, and that unlike studen unions at other campuses, theMSt is run by students instead of a pin fessional staf f . Mondale says ‘message didn’t take’ United Press International Balloon Bonanza 764-0950 1405 Harvey Rd. (across from Sears) College Station 822-1617 405 N. Pierce (Mikes Grocery), Bryan Include Us In Your Party Plans! ST. PAUL, Minn. — Walter Mon dale, standing in the rubble of a mas sive Reagan landslide, said Wednes day his presidential candidacy was scarred by Democratic in-fighting, but he lost because his campaign message “didn’t take.” Solemn, but showing flashes of humor, Mondale wished President Reagan well at a post-mortem news conference, but predicted Reagan will eat several “meals of crgw” dur ing his second term on the budget deficit and other issues. The former vice president said he does not plan to run again for any office. “I did my best,” Mondale said. “I worked my heart out. “In the end I think history will deal fairly with this campaign.” Mondale said he knew from the beginning he faced a “tough race” to unseat an incumbent president, but there were times when he thought he could pull it off — in the eupho ria after the Democratic convention in July, when he named Geraldine Ferraro as his running mate; and af ter the Oct. 7 domestic policy debate with Reagan in Louisville. “My chances of winning probably disappeared at the end of the second debate,” he said. The debate was Oct. 21 in Kansas' City on foreign policy. From St. Paul, the former, vice president and Minnesota senator flew to Washington, where he was to meet with Ferraro at the airport, then fly to the Virgin islands with his family for a week’s vacation. During the news conference, Mondale rejected the notion that Reagan’s overwhelming victory —59 percent of the popular vote and the biggest Electoral College tally in his tory — signals a realignment of the major parties. “I think we’re going to see a strong revival of the Democratic Party in this country,” he said. He said he seeks no special role in the Party other than that of any citi zen to speak his mind on the issues, and declared, “I have no plans for seeking the presidency or any other elected office again.” Looking to his future, Mondale, 56, said, “The time has come to pur sue certain economic necessities, among other things.” He said he would practice law in Washington, and maintain his voting residence in North Oaks, Minn. Asked what contributed to his de feat, Mondale said: “From the very beginning of my campaign for the nomination, I seemed to have trouble convincing young Americans and others that I had that vision for the futurelhatl believe I had. “1 was unable to appeal to inde pendents, moderates, whowerenco essary for my victory. Even thoughl thought my message was a moder ate, practical, sound and solidonc.it didn’t take. I was unable to make tlx case which I thought was a strong one.” Mondale also said he is “satisfied with that judgment” of selecting Fen raro for his ticket, although the cam paign lost “seven or eight precious days” during the controversy over whether her husband, John Zaccaro, would release his income tax re turns. Playf ully wrestling with his micro phone, Mondale said it was obvious he has “never been comfortable with television as a medium to gethi message across . ‘WW LAST DAY FOR AGGIE Blood Drive The Commons ... “SC 0 a N ° v ‘ f-« Sbisa Hall 9 a,m '" ® P- m - Across the tracks Sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega Student Government Omega Phi Alpha sS^aggTe COME TO LAUGH, COME TO CRY re; CINEMA/s COMETO CARE,COME TO TERMS.
