(.lass presidents, representatives
from both the men's and women’s
basketball teams, and the Miss Texas
A&M beautv pageant finalists are
just a few of the speaker possibilities
in the spring semester line-up of
Lamda Sigma's Sullv's Symposium.
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

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

symposiums will always start at
noon, rather than at a different time

Lawrence Sullivan Ross statue.
"Last year it was held in Rudder
and only about 25 people showed

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.

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.
