Poindexter, the presi dent’s national security adviser, and was adopted at a White House meet ing Aug. 14, the Post said. The newspaper said the plan, as described in the memo, involved “a series of closely coordinated events involving covert, diplomatic, military and public actions.” Reagan, in an interview’ with col umnists, said, “I challenge the verac- tity of that entire story that I read this morning with great shock.” While acknowledging the existence of some memos, he said there was nothing about a deliberate attempt to mislead the U.S. press and people. “Those (allegations) I challenge,” Reagan said in the interview, a par tial transcript of which w’as released by the White House. “They were not a part of any meeting I’ve ever at tended. . . . This was not any plan of ours.” The president said the U.S. intelli gence community has been tracking whether Gadhafi is planning any ter rorist acts. “And so, yes, there are memos back and forth about that, and what the information is.” Reagan said it was legitimate to take steps to “have Mr. Gadhafi go to bed every night wondering what we might do. And I think that’s the best Chancellor (Continued from page 1) government and conducts studies. Adkisson gets straight to the point in his speech, his career and his life. He leaves no room for wasteful words or wasteful people. “I like to be around achievers — people who maximize the use of their talents,” he says, adding that he doesn't have much patience for un der-achievers who waste their time. “I’ve been around universities and university people all my life and I’ve seen a lot of people who have maxi mized their talents — people who have made achievements you would think would even be beyond what they could expect,” he says. “And then I’ve seen some wasted talent. Sometimes because the person was lazy, sometimes because they just weren’t dedicated. “I like to be associated with quality people. People who have been a suc cess — who have pride in themselves about what they’ve done. “I like to be associated with the same kinds of institutions.” Although A&M is the seventh largest university in the nation, Ad kisson says he believes it still main tains a lot of the good qualities that were here when it was small. “I thought that as the school got bigger it would lose a lot of the spirit and bonfires and all, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised,” he says. “Dur ing the time I’ve spent here, I’ve been so busy in my own affairs that I haven’t gotten caught up in a lot of those kinds of things.

No.” A senior administration official, also quoted in the interview tran script, refused to say whether the Post story was “generally or rea sonably or basically accurate.” WATCH THIS, PAUL. )0L) THKOW THIS THING AWA1 A A/P IT ALWAYS COMES BACK TO YOU N- The official, who refused to be identified, said “That implication in the story is absolutely false. “You must distinguish between the audiences, you must distinguish between deception and disinforma tion.” 6R^AT AT rhl ^ G ' 5 CAR0LI/VE. vyHAT IS IT. A BOOMER" Ang? a fLimg PISK?. J Waldo by Kevin Thomas “I got a chance to see a lot more of the undergraduate student life when my daughter became a student.” Adkisson’s daughter, Amanda, followed in her father’s footsteps with her bachelor’s degree in ento mology. She also earned a master’s from A&M in animal science and is now an instructor in finance here working on her doctorate. “She’s a true Aggie — all the way,” Adkisson says. “You know, people say that the Aggie ring is the best way to get yourself introduced across the coun try and I think that’s true,” he says. “I believe this is one of the best places for a student to go to school. “I’ve been acquainted with three other universities as a student and UT M£ guess... YOU'RE tub MAD HATTER. NO, I'M TH£ MAD HAAAS5EA. I LURK IN PARKING LOTS DURING FOOT- BALL GAMES AND DAMAGE CARS BELONGING TO AGGIES- HOWEVfEA, THE FISH LOT IS EMPTY TODAY. THE TOk/-DRAGON MUST HAVE TAKEN ALL THE CARS. I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THIN KING ... BREAKING WINDOWS AND SLASHING TIRES IS A LOT OF WORK. BUT SOMEBODY GOTTA DO it! it’s not there. At least not at the ones I’ve been at.” Although his title is System chan cellor, Adkisson remains an entomo logist. Why bugs? “I like entomology because of the applied part, it’s a very interesting occupation,” he says. “You get im mediate results of your work and you have to exercise a lot of logic. It’s sort of a combat operation — man against insects, and insects are going to prevail.” How long does he think he’ll stay chancellor? “I’m going to to do thejob like I'm going to be here forever, but I'm going to treat everyone as if 1 miglii die tomorrow,” he says. “I still have ambitions to finish my career as a professor in the entomo logy department — not as chin- cellor,” he says.
