Former presidents Jimmy Carter
id Gerald Ford, historian Dr.
ephen Ambrose and journalist
1 :orge Will will share the Rudder
fe) [iditorium stage Tuesday night as
rticipants in the Memorial Student
mter’s sold-ont Wiley Lecture
ties.
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.

yler Police L.t. W.D. Richardson said he had

dice aren’t looking for him.
We haven’t had any dealings with him . . . ex-

we don’t have any plans of finding him.”

He said Case was fired after officials deter
mined during a background check that he had
lied about obtaining a degree from the Univer
sity of Southern Mississippi.
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.
