at Gov.
The Red Cross, in conjunction
with a pair of campus organiza-
ions, will sponsor a blood drive
today and Wednesday from 11
a.m. to 6 p.m.
Those wishing to donate blood
an do so on the first floor of
Tlarrington Tower or at a blood-
mobile in the parking lot of the
Veterinary Medicine Complex.
The blood drive also is being
ponsored by the Aggie Alliance
id the Saddle and Sirloin Club.
Jo Ellyn Rose, chairwoman of
the Red Cross’ campus effort,
aid a goal of 500 donors has
en set.
August 12, 1986, because of New
Zealand’s governmental policy that
refuses the admittance of nuclear
powered or nuclear-armed ships to
it’s waters.
The incident that sparked the
conflict took place on Jan. 29, 1985,
when the U.S. would not say if a con
ventionally powered destroyer, the
Buchanan, carried nuclear weapons
and New Zealand Prime Minister
David Lange refused its request to
enter territorial waters.
Sir Wallace Rowling, New Zea
land’s ambassador to the United
States, said New Zealand under
stands the pact between the nations
requires commitments from all par
ties involved and disputed charges
that New Zealand wants only the
benefits of the alliance and not the
responsibilities.
“Over the last two years, both
sides (The United States and New
Zealand) have worked long and hard
to help resolve the differences,”
Rowling said. “Unfortunately, at
least to this point, no resolution
exists.”
The U.S. State Department’s di
rector of Australian and New Zea
land affairs, Stephen Ecton, said
ANZUS is not dissolved, even
though U.S. treaty relations with
New Zealand have been nullified.
“We have not ended ANZUS,” Ec
ton said. “The framework is still
there. The United States is still
hopeful New Zealand will return to
the alliance in a fully operable pos
ition.”
The Minister of the Australian
Embassy, Tim McDonald, said Aus
tralia is overwhelmingly supportive
of its alliances with both the United
States and New Zealand and also be
lieves the basic strucure of ANZUS
has been maintained.
“While we would not wish to pre
tend that two sets of bilateral rela
tions are as effective as trilateral co
operation, we believe that criticism
of such is highly exaggerated,” Mc
Donald said.
Ad consultant hopeful creates
‘Surf Suite’ in Schuhmacher Hall
By Pam Deleery
Reporter
Ashley Glennon’s career goal is
to be a creative consultant for an
advertising agency. And judging
from his present lifestyle and hob
bies, creativity is one of his greatest
assets.
Glennon’s dormitory room in
Schuhmacher Hall has earned the
title of “Surf Suite” from his neigh
bors and friends.
The room houses a bamboo hut
that he built himself.
The walls are made of braided
palm leaves with silk and live or
chids creatively arranged through
out.
A banana tree protrudes from
the corner, and the smell of suntan
oil Alls the air.
He says female visitors usually
have to wear an orchid in their hair
to add to the authenticity of this
tropical paradise.
Glennon enjoys playing the part
of a beach bum and does it very
well.
“Surf music plays here all the
time,” he says, “and the only drinks
we allow in here are pineapple
crush and coconut cola.”
Glennon also says he was going
to put sand on the floor, but his
roommate wouldn’t allow it.
But keeping up his room isn’t
Glennon’s only hobby.
He spends a lot of time practic
ing With one of his more than 100
yo-yos.
He can be seen practicing tricks
with them around campus, in his
dorm room, on his way to dinner or
anywhere else imaginable.
“You’ve got to practice every
day,” he says.
He always carries at least two yo
yos with him and enjoys showing
off by doing yo-yo tricks.
A lot of times he just starts prac
ticing and a crowd will begin to
gather around him, he says.
It’s a hobby that has been some
what profitable for him.
He has stood in front of toy
stores and played with his yo-yo for
an entire weekend, he says.
“Sometimes for money, some
times for more yo-yos,” he says.
Glennon, a junior journalism
major from Plano, also enjoys en
tering yo-yo contests, he says.
There are 10 basic tricks he must
do at the beginning of the contest
but he says a sure way to win is by
skipping them and going to one
that is more difficult.
One of his favorite tricks is a va
riation of the common walk-the-
dog.
Originality is one of his trade
marks and he’s added some of it to
his car.
For instance, he rigged the water
dispenser from his windshield wip
ers so that it shoots straight ahead
instead of toward the window.
“It helps me get through campus
a lot faster,” he says.
He also has rigged his car so that
it shoots rockets out from under it
with the mere push of the button,
he says.
“It used to shoot ping-pong balls,
but that got old,” he says.

He admits that many of his hob
bies are trivial, but he enjoys doing
them largely because no one else is
doing them, he says.
