There may be some civilian students scattered among the ranks. The Corps of Cadets has started a new tradition this semester — invit ing civilian dorm residents to run with the Corps and eat with the ca dets in Duncan Dining Hall af terward. Garland Wilkinson, Corps com mander, says the idea first came up last year. “We thought it would be great to let them (civilians) learn a little about us and us about them and have fun doing it,” he says. David McDowell, Resident Hall Association president, agrees the runs are a good way to interact with the Corps. “The Corps does a lot of things that people don’t really under stand,” he says. “It’s a good way to meet people in the Corps and to help understand them a little bit bet ter.” McDowell, who participated in two runs, says there was a good turn out from the hall residents who par ticipated. Residents of Hart, Law and Pur- year halls were the first to take part. Meeting at the arches of the Quad rangle in dorm shirts and running shorts, the residents were assignee! to different outfits. During the usual two-mile run, the residents joined in with the familiar sounds of the Corps’ “Jodies,” or military chants, Crocker, Davis-Gary and Moore halls had a good turnout on the sec ond run. Moses Hall didn’t have anybody participate, although the residents were invited. Blake Baylor, president of Moses Hall, says the residents didn’t want to have anything to do with the run. “The residents just weren’t inter ested,” he says. “People came to me and said it was a stupid idea.” Dwain Duke, Moore Hall presi dent, says the residents of his dorm weren’t too thrilled about the idea at first either. It was just a matter of presenting it right, he says. “When I first presented it to the guys they said, ‘What? No way!’ Duke said. “Then 1 said. Look, when do you get a chance to run and eat with the Corps?’ ” The residents were all pretty en thusiastic after he explained the pur pose and uniqueness of the situation, Duke says. John Mathis, a senior in Company B-l, says the initial reaction in his outfit to having civilians run with the Corps wasn’t very positive either. “We weren’t too happy about the idea,” he says. “We didn’t know how it was going to come across. Usually when we run over there (Northside), we catch so much stuff from them (civilians). But after the first run, we thought it was pretty cool.” Mathis says his outfit had the resi dents run in the center of the ranks. The usual rank order is seniors, freshmen, sophomores and then ju niors. Mathis says the residents fared pretty well during the run. “You could tell most of thej that came out were really good: tiers,” he says. “There was one who could probably run or around all of us. But they alls pretty good.” Duke says he had a gfoodi running and eating with theCotj “I got to run with the senioir the outfit I was with, and I got it with them at dinner,” he says.I the guys (cadets) treated me as I were a senior in the'Corps, too- some extent.” Duke says doing things Corps helps relieve some of the * ,1S sion that exists between cadetsj civilians. “Just doing something !om you usually get to know theml ter,” he says. “And chances are! once you get to know them, you! derstand them and like themrauf Greg Keith, Corps public reb officer, says the runs are parto overall effort to improve relai between cadets and civilianstudt 1 he (iorps plans to continue! civilian dorm residents to run, eat with the cadets every year. McDowell says participationii runs should increase. "It’s so unique, especiallyif\ never done it before,” Mcft says. Keith says he thinks thatott; the runs were a success. "I think they (the residenulr i/ed that we were just like thea says. “We’re friendly people, outgoing and we’re sociable." Clements gives plan to improve AUSTIN (AP) — His victory only hours old, Gov.-elect Bill Clements said Wednesday he’s already work ing on the state’s toughest problem: the faltering economy. “When you have a problem that’s well-identified, you don’t sweep it under the rug,” Clements said. “You do something about it.” Clements said he will appoint within days an economic task force to write recommendations on cre ating jobs and business devel opment. The task force will be made up of 40 to 50 prominent business and academic leaders, he said. Full proposals will be presented to the Legislature when it convenes in January, he said. “We’re already starting to talk about it this morning (Wednesday),” Clements said. “We will choose a (task force) chairman and announce that chairman probably tomorrow. “We’ll immediately get to work.” Clements was Texas’ first Repub lican governor in 102 years when he was elected in 1978. He capped his comeback bid with a decisive victory over the man who ousted him four years ago. According to near-final returns compiled by the secretary of state, Clements received 1,804,065 votes, or 52.71 percent, to White’s 1,575,740, or 46.04 percent. Liberta rian Theresa Doyle received 42,346 es, or 1.23 percent. Clements, 69, said his emphasis on jobs was crucial because Texas unemployment has soared to record high levels. “The people of Texas are terribly concerned about our economy,” economy Clements said. “That was the differ ence. It was a unifying factor that pulled everybody together.” l ied to the economic problems is the state budget. The Legislative Budget Board was told Wednesday that 1988-89 reve nues could fall $3.5 billion to $5 bil lion below what originally was antic ipated. Clements pledged to cut spending where needed and limit the growth of many programs. “We are not going to have the growth in some of the programs that have heretofore been anticipated,” Clements said. “Our revenues will be up; they will not be down.” Clements pledged a thorough re view of the state’s tax structure, sug gesting he may back a plan similar to that recommended by Comptroller Bob Bullock. Bullock’s plan calls for a broader sales tax base to apply the levy to many goods and services, such as lawyer’s fees, not covered now. It also calls for lowering the rate from the 5.25 percent it will hit in January. The governor-elect stopped short of endorsing that plan, however, and said any overhaul should be rev enue-neutral. Clements promised to make good on campaign pledges and seek resig nations from the three state Public Utility Commission members, Texas Department of Corrections boss Lane McCotter and members of the state prison board. Texans will notice another differ ence between his administration and White’s — a closer relationship with the White House, Clements said.
