Middle East to be topic

By ANN CERVENKA
Staff Writer
After discussing more than 30
ssible topics, the Middle East has
en chosen as the subject of the
31st annual Student Conference on
National Affairs, said Linda
Thomas, SCONA chairman.
The committee narrowed the
topic list to five. The pros and cons
of each were discussed before the
decision was made, T homas said.
“I think we ended up with the best
topic for this year,” . Thomas said.
“There’s so much we can do. In fact,
it’s hard to limit it.”
us maybecoi p The topic of SCONA 30 was “The
r Carnegies, 1 Emerging China,” which primarily
dealt with U.S./Chinese relations
and domestic China. Thomas said
discussion of the topic was limited
-because many people were unin
formed about the country.
However, because the Middle East
is a group of countries and each has

domestic and international interest,
many people are informed about the
issues of the new theme, she said.
“We do know more about the
Middle East because it’s always in the
news,” Thomas said. “There are so
many different tracks we can take.”
Although a specific topic has not
been chosen, several sub-topics have
been suggested including the politi
cal and religious wars, the Iran/Iraq
crisis, economics in the Middle East
and U.S. aid, terrorism, and the
U.S./Soviet balance of military
power in the area.
Thomas said the conference is for
international students as well as
American students. Delegates from
various states and countries are cho
sen to participate in discussions with
representatives who are at the top of
their field.
Last year, 80 international stu
dents attended the conference,
Thomas said.
The committee already has seve
ral contacts helping to select speak
ers for the conference. Contacts in
clude George Comnas, a 1935
graduate of Texas A&rM who is a
former chief executive officer of
ESSO Africa, a parent company of
Exxon; Frank Muller, former owner
of a sulfur company in Saudi Arabia;
Craig Buck, an expert on Egypt and
Turkey; and Weldon Kruger, presi
dent of ESSO Middle East.
In preparation for the confer
ence, a suggested summer reading
list will be compiled for SCONA
members.
“It’s really important that we
know what we’re talking about,”
Thomas said. “The best thing we can
do is watch for current events.”
A file of current newspaper and
magazine articles will be kept and
will be available for use during the
conference.
Thomas, the first female SCONA
chairman, said the conference will
be during the second week of Feb
ruary 1986.

Symposium to discuss one cause
of earthquakes, surface features
By WAYNE L. GRABEIN
Reporter
Intraplate deformation, one of
the causes of earthquakes and sur
face features throughout the world,
is the topic of the seventh annual Ge
odynamics Research Symposium to
day and Friday on the seventh floor
of Rudder Tower.
The plates of the Earth, similar to
pieces of a shell, move in relation to
each other. Scientists have studied
surface deformities, such as deep-
sea trenches, volcanoes and fault
lines, which occur at the boundaries
of these plates.
Yet movements within the plates,
ntraplate deformation, which is un
related to plate boundaries, is not as
familiar to today’s scientists.

Although the symposium is tech
nical, the presentations are free to
any interested student. They can
register at Rudder Tower, Dr. Bran
Johnson of the Geodynamics Re
search Program at Texas A&M says.
Others must pay a $35 registration
fee.
Thirty-five presentations on the
characteristics, processes and causes
of intraplate deformations will be
given during the two day period,
Johnson says.
“The symposium is one of a few of
its type in the nation,” he says. “It’s
an international meeting.”
More than 200 research scientists,
students and graduate students are
expected to attend the four half-day
sessions.

tracts from Soviet researchers also
will be presented although the au
thors are unable to attend.
The rest of the speakers have
traveled from across the United
States and include a large number of
experts.
Presentations made during the
sessions will be compiled into a spe
cial issue of the Journal of Tectono-
physics once the articles have been
gathered, Johnson says. He added
that a synopsis of each research lec
ture will be given at the individual
sessions, creating a miniature ver
sion of the special journal.
