emerging
and the
topic suggestions. This year, the top
three issues were the
China, world terrorism
world financial network.
“China is not in the forefront of
the news yet,” Hyde says. However,
people are beginning to notice that
the country which became commu
nistic in 1946 under Mao Tse-tung is
a “communist lure to capitalism,” he
says.
The purpose of SCONA is not
necessarily to attract well-known
speakers, but to get a variety of
knowledgeable people to discuss the
issue. “We want to get experts in the
field to examine world issues,” Hyde
says.
SCONA began in 1955 when the
president of the MSC visited West
Point Military Academy to attend a
similar conference on United States
affairs. He was impressed with the
program and brought the idea back
to Texas A&M.
Last summer, four members of
SCONA went to China to prepare
for the conference.
“We wanted to get a basic under
standing of the culture, history and
current situation,” Kent Cocking,
vice chairman of speakers, says.
Cocking, who went to China, also
visited Houston to talk with Consul
General Kingbo Tang, who has
helped with the conference. Tang is
responsible for getting a commit
ment to attend from one of the main
speakers, Ling Qing, China’s ambas
sador to the United Nations.
Other speakers include Dr. Ross
Terrill, a professor of government at
Harvard Ur
Jniversity, and Dr. Harry a.m. Saturday
Harming, author of several books
and articles on Chinese domestic
policy and relations between China
and the United States.
This year student delegates will
come from many countries, includ
ing Taiwan, China, Japan, Guata-
mala, Mexico, Canada and the
United States. European delegates
will be from France, Germany, Swit
zerland and Scotland.
The conference will be in Rudder
Theater and is free to the public.
The opening address is Wednesday
at 1:40 p.m. Speeches are at 9 a.m.
and 2 p.m. Thursday. Friday,
speeches are at 9 a.m. and 2:15 p.m.
The closing address will be at 10:30
day.

lawsuit involving the state, Mobil Oil
and South Texas rancher Clinton
Manges.
“I did not threaten them with the
bonds,” Mattox told reporters out
side the courtroom Monday. “The
conversation in which they said I did
something wrong is not there, they
conveniently can’t find it.”
Commercial bribery is a third-de
gree felony punishable by a maxi
mum sentence of 10 years in prison.
Mattox also told reporters Mon
day state law says if he is finally con
victed of the charge he could not run
for re-election in 1986. However, he
would not have to resign the job
even if convicted.
Mattox’s attorneys have claimed
for more than a year that the indict
ment was faulty and should be
voided. Thurman has turned down
15 separate motions to dismiss the
indictment, and the 3rd Court of
Appeals also refused to dismiss the
indictment, 2-1.
