Sullv's Symposium is an open fo rum that Lamda Sigma, the sopho more honor society, began in the fall semester of 1984 to bring together students and campus leaders. Since response from the fall semester’s trial run has been so positive, the program will continue. "The main purpose behind Sully Symposium is to make the students feel that each one counts,” said Cindv Gay, the president of Lamda Sigma. “Through something like Sully we can each have an affect on what’s going on. There's not enough com munication between leaders and stu dents as a whole, and we want Sttllv to bridge that communication gap." The first symposium will be held on Jan. 30 at noon. The speakers tentatively will be the class presi dents. Gav said. The forums will continue to be held every Wednes day at noon for the rest of the semes ter. The symposium with the pageant finalists lias been confirmed for Feb ruary 13. Gay said. The current Miss Texas A&M and some of the finalists will be discussing the objectives of Gav said, is implementing beamy pageants. Of l-Gampus Aggies and the Resi dence Hall Association presidents, die student body president and the editor of The Battalion are some of the other possible choices for the symposium. "We’re also sending invitations to both Mr. Bum Bright (A&M Regent) and Dr. Vandiver Lamda Sigma some new ideas this semester.

Hightower says farmers need a plan It Wi lor mai bers, P Ai Associated Press HOUSTON — Thousands of American farmers are being forced out of business by the federal farm policy and their losses are as “crimi nal as a subway mugging,” Texas Agriculture Commissioner Jim Hightower said. “Washington is not going to save us,” he said Friday at the annual con vention of the Texas Farmers Union. We have to have our own plan. We have to mount our own crusade.” Almost 1,600 farms — including 100 in Texas — collapse weekly, he said. “These are good farmers — effi cient, productive and competitive people,” Hightower said, “whom we need if the U.S. is to maintain its ag ricultural abundance. ejected 42 rnt loans to percent of those who sougr continue farming, and this year will be worse,” he said. Federal farm legislation has en couraged overproduction and estab lished low commodity prices, High tower said. Since 1981, the market price of 22 of the 28 major agricultural prod ucts have declined an averagea| percent. But farmers usually receivef for their goods than what theyp produce them, he said. While farmers are suffering:: worst economic crisis in 50yeani said, the Reagan administrati proposing a new farm bill f establish lower federal price I on commodities.
