Arms negotiator helps
students plan strategy
DALLAS (AP) — Students at
Southern Methodist University
toyed with nuclear confrontation
Tuesday, receiving a few tips from
real-life arms negotiator John
Tower as they tried to keep the
peace.
“You have to keep your national
interest foremost in mind,” Tower, a
former U.S. senator, told about 250
freshman and transfer students
gathered on campus to play a game
of simulated nuclear confrontation
as part of orientation activities.
The game, called “Wildfire,” was
created by the Roosevelt Center for
Policy Studies. The session was Tow
er’s first appearance in his role as
distinguished lecturer in SMU’s po
litical science department.
Tower said the game of nuclear
confrontation has more substance
than most orientation sessions, but
said the scenarios of superpowers on
the brink of nuclear confrontation
were simplistic.
The students split into several
groups, with teams of three or four
students representing the United
States, China, the Soviet Union, Pa
kistan and India.
In the game’s scenario the year is
1988 and India and Pakistan are on
the brink of war. Pakistan, which has
vowed not to suffer another defeat,
has the capability to fire a nuclear

warning shot and students have less
than two hours to decide how to re
act to the situation.
Despite a few tense moments
when fingers hovered on the trigger
of nuclear arsenals, all the students
warded off nuclear war.
“They all somehow came to some
resolution,” said Judy Mohraz, assis
tant provost, who is in charge of aca
demic orientation. “Some of the
adult groups that have played do it
(start a nuclear war).”
In the one group that resorted to
conventional warfare, peace had
been successfully negotiated, said
Steve Wyatt, 17, a pre-med major.
The decision to attack another
country automatically stops the
game, although students were not
warned beforehand.

(next to The Cowboy)
MONT BELVIEU (AP) — The
mayor of this petrochemical commu
nity told Warren Petroleum Co. offi
cials its offer to buy out 21 property
owners near their plant is unfair and
unacceptable.
Residents on Pablo Street got ear
nest money contracts over the week
end and were given 30 days to de
cide whether to accept the offers.
Under the plan, all must sell and re
locate at least two miles away.
Mont Belvieu, a community of
about 1,800 people, sits a few miles
north of Interstate 10, about 25
miles east of Houston.
“You make a reasonable offer to
some to get lower-priced people to
agree,” Mayor Fred Miller told War
ren officials on Monday. “You give
them $20,000 and tell them to get
out. They would like to go, but they
can’t go on what you’ve offered
them.”
residents endangered by then
trial complex.
The plan is similar but separate
from the Mont Belvieu Project, a
program supported by a consortium
of 13 industries, which store more
than 120 million barrels of hydro
carbon gases in caverns located un
der the homes.
