Most LaRouche candidates
defeated
DALLAS (AP) — Major candi
dates backed by extremist politician
Lyndon LaRouche failed to win any
political races in Texas’ primaries,
but the group’s chief state spokes
man said he was pleased with the re
sults.
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.

Tips For Stress Management
1) Eat a balanced diet, get adequate sleep each night,
exercise regularly and appropriately. 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-

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”. Also included in the guide
suggestions related to finding roommates, getting security deposit;
turned, taking exams, and planning a “to do” list for finishing the seme;
