Harley Schlanger, the group’s spokesman, said, “You have to look at the fact that in spite of the vicious, malicious, lying slander (against La Rouche candidates) . . . we’re still getting 15 to 30 percent.” Texas’ elections were the first since the Illinois primary, in which LaRouche followers were nominated as Democrats for lieutenant gover nor and secretary of state. National Democratic Party offi cials said they would watch Texas closely for any new gains by follow ers of the three-time presidential candidate and former Communist. But the nine Democrats and one Republican seeking congressional seats were soundly drubbed, and the only LaRouche candidate for statewide office — Noel Cowling of Dublin — was trounced 4-to-l by state Agriculture Commissioner Jim Hightower in the Democratic pri mary. But a LaRouche candidate did make it into a runoff for the Bexar in Texas Names count in elections AUSTIN — In Texas elec tions, the name of the game just might be your name. It’s not good to have the name of a former governor or an East ern European country. In the race for railroad commission, John Pouland was running third. His name is pronounced like the country Warsaw is the capital of. Second place went to a name Texans have heard before — Briscoe. Not former Gov. Dolph Briscoe, but Andrew III, a second cousin. Also defeated in the primaries were a soap. Dial; a president, Reagan; an insect, Roach; and a department store, Sears. C o u n t y Democratic Party chairmanship, despite San Antonio Mayor Henry Cisneros’ endorse ment of one opponent. LaRouche supporter Donald Va- rella led four opponents in the race primaries for the post of Bexar Comm Demo cratic chairman and will face Jane Hibler, said party chairwoman Mari lyn Jones. Jones said Varella won because he was the only candidate with a His panic name in the heavily Hispanic county, but Schlanger disagreed. In Dallas County, a write-in cam paign was successful in defeating at least seven LaRouche candidates who were unopposed for precinct chairmanships in 1 1 races, said Democratic Party spokeswoman Ce leste Guerrero. In precincts that were contested, she said the LaRouche candidates were defeated. They had sought a total of 32 precinct chairmanships out of 455 Democratic precincts, she said. Two LaRouche candidates were unopposed in the Democratic con gressional primary in districts held by strong Republicans. Henry Kniffen of Houston is seeking the 7th Congressional Dis trict seat held by U.S. Rep. Bill Archer, and Susan Director of Houston wants the 22nd District job held by U.S. Rep. Tom Del.as of Sugar Land. Nance’s political future uncertain AUSTIN (AP) — When a pollster predicted Kent Hance would finish last bv a wide margin in the Republi can Partv gubernatorial primary, H ance said he would quit politics if the forecast was correct. The pollster. University of Hous ton political scientist Richard Mur ray, wasn’t far off as former Gov. Bill Clements easily defeated U.S. Rep. Tom Loeffler and Hance Sat- urdav. But Hance, who now has lost statewide races in two parties in the past two years, declined to say whether he is through. When asked if he would seek an other post, Hance said he is unsure. Hance, 43, had said his strength was his ability to attract conservative Democrats. He said everyone was going to be surprised that he would be in a runonff with Clements. But Hance was the one who was surprised. “The strength that Clements showed is truly astounding,” he said. State GOP Chairman George Snake said Hance attracted new people to the party and that he would like to reward him. ‘Tm going to sit down and put on mv thinking cap and come up with as an important an assignment as I can give to him,” Strake said. “I just don’t know now what it might be.” But Texas Democratic Party chairman Bob Slagle said Hance ap pears to be finished. “It’s not up to me to decide if he’s through with both parties,” Slagle said. “It’s up to the voters, and it looks like the voters have spoken on it.” With 95.7 percent of the precincts counted Sunday. Clements had re ceived 58 percent of the vote, com pared to 21.7 percent for L.oefllei and 20.2 percent for Hance. Hance, who switched to the Re publican Partv last year after losing the Democratic nomination for I S. Senate in 1984, had campaigned against illegal immigration. One of his television ads spat ked protests from Hispanics, who called it dis criminatory. Slagle said COP voters appaienilv didn't want Hance as a candidate and that he failed to attract a signifi cant number of Democratic voters to the Republican primary.

If physical symp toms are present, a physical examination may be in or der. 2) Use effective time management techniques. Set rea listic academic and personal goals and re-evaluate them periodically. Eliminate or postpone tasks and work on the most important tasks first. Use a daily “to do” list to plan your activities so that you can accomplish your daily and weekly goals. Break large tasks down into smaller units and schedule time each day for working on high priority tasks. 3) Consider alternate ways of viewing your situation. Sometimes it is not the situation but the way you interpret it that creates undue stress. Also, recognize that feeling stressed does not mean that you are “bad” or “unworthy” or unable to cope. o 4) Become aware of all the “support people” in your life such as friends, family members, professors, counselors, and advisors. Learn to use these supports by asking for help or discussing your problems with them. 5) Learn relaxation techniques. The Student Counseling Service has available a series of tapes to teach you how to relax, biofeedback training, and a stress management group. Get Your Money Back When you move out next month, make some fast money by collecting your Se curity Deposit. It doesn’t take much time, and the results can be quite profita ble. The first step you must take is to give your landlord at least a thirty day notice, IN WRITING, informing him of your intention to move out at the end of your lease term. Then before you actually leave, schedule an appointment with your manager to jointly inspect the apartment. Compare the condition of te unit with the move-in condition inventory that you compled at the beginning of your lease term. If you are unable to inspect the apartment with your manager, make sure an impartial witness notes the apartment’s condition in case a discrepency occurs in the manager’s deductions. If you feel there is likely to be a discrepency, you may also want to take photographs to prove the apartment's condition. Read your lease or Security Deposit Agreement to insure that you have ful filled all requirements for the return of your security deposit. A review of these requirements are: 1. Give written notice of intent to vacate at least thirt (30) days prior to the ending date of the lease. 2. Occupy the unit for the entire lease term. 3. Clean the apartment in accordance with the landlord’s move-out cleaning instructions. 4. Pay all rent according to the terms of the lease. 5. Give the landlord your forwarding address in writing. Within 30 days after you vacate the apartment the landlord is required, by law, to either refund the security deposit or furnish you with a written itemized list of all the deductions. Don't forget about other deposits you may have such as utilities and tele phone. Again, give written notice of intent to terminate the services and give a specific cut-off date. Remember to return your phone and notify the Post Office of your forwarding address. You may need to change your address for Univer sity purposes also. If you have questions about any of these procedures or have difficulty in ob taining your deposit, contact the Off Campus Center or the Student’s Legal Ad- CONNECTION How To Prepare For Final Exams 1) Make a quick survey of notes and readings in order to get a gene picture of what has been covered. Jot down a few words about thept pose of the course. Make a brief time line or outline to get an overallp. ture of the materials. Not your weak areas. 2) Go over old tests, paying attention to the kinds of questions geneia asked. 3) Rather than reread, it is often better to skim over material andstop| material you don’t know. 4) Try to find out what the final will cover. 5) Know your professors and their biases. 6) Look at questions and problems at the end of the chapters foraddl nal review. 7) Concentrate on areas emphasized in lecture and/or in your text. Taking The Final When it comes time to take your final exams, too much anxiety cant counterproductive. To prevent a high level of test anxiety you may wan remember these suggestions: 1) Expect to get uptight at first. 2) Take 2 or 3 deep breaths and let them out slowly. 3) Note instructions and follow them exactly. 4) Look over all questions briefly to determine what is expected. 5) Assign a proportion of time to each question according to how in!' points each is worth. Don’t spend too much time on any one question 6) Answer the easier items first to gain confidence and gather as mi' points as possible. 7) If there is no penalty for "wrongs” on an objective test, guess. 8) Don’t change answers unless you are sure you made a mistake. 9) For essay questions, jot down main points on scratch paper, nui? each point in order, then write your answer following the numbered* line. Write legibly and in complete sentences. 10) If you finish early, do not leave. Check to see if you omitted items,'' spelled words or made careless mistakes. Do not pay attention to sW who leave the exam before you. These tips are only a portion of the information that can be foundin’' Aggie Guide to Conquering Your Finals”.
