The discussion topic is “U.S. Inler- jntionism: Resolving International inflict.” The program will begin at p.m. Tracy Tomac, public relations rector for the lecture series, said e program each year deals with a |rcign policy topic. She said this ar’s topic is particularly timely in ht of the rise in terrorism and in national crises. Ford, who took over the presiden- following the resignation of |chard Nixon in 197d, was narrowly feated by Carter in the 1976 elec- m. One of his most famous foreign policy moves was his handling of the Mayaguez incident in May 1975. After Kampuchean Communist troops seized the Mayaguez, a U.S. merchant ship, in the Gulf of Siam, Ford sent 200 Marines to the area. The Marines recaptured the ship and rescued its 39 crew members. Ford earned a law degree from Yale University and has honorary de grees from more than 25 other uni versities. His autobiography, “A Time to Heal,” was published in 1979. He currently serves on the board of directors of several companies. Carter’s foreign policy focused on human rights. He limited, and in some cases banned, U.S. aid to some nations whose governments he be lieved violated human rights. 11 is foreign policy decisions also in cluded the establishment of full di plomatic ties with China, peace nego tiations between Egypt and Israel, and dealing with both the Iranian hostage crisis and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Carter currently is a distinguished professor at Emory University in Atlanta, Ga. He has written several books, including “Why Not the Best?,” “A Government as Good as its People,” “Keeping Faith: Memoirs of a President” and “The Blood of Abraham.” Ambrose is a distinguished profes sor of history at the University of New Orleans. He has written more than a dozen books on military affairs and foreign policy, including “Rise to Globalism: American Foreign Policy Since 1938.” Will, a Pulitzer Prize-winning syn dicated columnist, also is a contribut ing analyst for ABC News and a regu lar on that network’s Sunday morn ing program, “This Week With David Brinkley.” Will will moderate the Wiley program. Tomac said the cost of the prog ram will be about $95,000. About half is covered by an endowment estab lished in the spring of 1984 by James E. Wiley Sr. and A.P. Wiley Jr., who both graduated from Texas A&M in 1946. The rest of the cost is covered through fundraising drives, Tomac said. She said the Wiley Lecture Series Committee is comprised of about 50 students who are responsible for planning and arranging the program. Initial plans for the annual spring program are made by members of the Wiley executive committee dur ing the summer prior to the prog ram. Each September the group con ducts a membership drive. During the fall semester committee members concentrate on planning and fund raising, Tomac said, and final prepa rations are made during spring semester. The committee tries to have its speakers and date confirmed by January, as it did this year, she said. THE LATE NIGHT PLACE TO BE.

DeSanto said MHMR conducts a background check on its employees during their first six months. “We had excellent recommendations on him, excellent,” DeSanto said. “He just didn’t have the degree he said he did.” In addition, records show Case has three con victions for felony f raud, three for theft, one for forgery and one for auto theft and that he had served three years in prison. T hree of Case’s neighbors say they entrusted him with money to invest for them in Kruger rands and oil but never saw a full return. Bill Atteberry, manager of the mobile home park where Case lived, said he invested $20,000 with Case in Krugerrands after Case told him he would get a return of $35,000. Atteberry said he had known Case for four years. “When someone you’ve known that long comes up and tells you that if you invest $20,000 at 8 o’clock in the morning (and) he’ll turn it into $35,000 by 5 o’clock that night, who wouldn’t go for it?” Atteberry said,. But Case has yet to return with the cash or gold, Atteberry said, adding that Case repeatedly balked when asked for an explanation. Atteberry could not be reached for further comment Thursday. Six days after Atteberry turned over the $20,000, Case collapsed at MHMR where he worked as a lab technician and said he was poi soned by a Tylenol capsule tainted by cyanide. The FBI, investigating the claim, has refused to say whether cyanide was found in his blood, al though Case’s doctor said officials with the fed eral Food and Drug Administration confirmed the presence of the poison days after the inci dent. Case’s neighbors, even those who invested with him, described him as an exemplary father, hus band and friend. 11 Turns 160 MPH Motorcycle Roadraces $7/day $12/weekend Includes a pit pass TEXAS WORLD SPEEDWAY SAT. 6-hour Endurance SUN. 6-lap sprint races practice at 8:00 and races start at 11:30 both day.
