Civilian students take looki
at Corps life at Texas A&M *
Cadets, dorm students join in runs, dinners
By Kristin Theodorsen
Reporter
Next time a bunch of cadets run
by, be sure to take a second look.
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.
