Friday, February 27, 1987/The Battalion/Page 5 State officials: White House needs cleaning WASHINGTON (AP) — Texas Democrats and Republicans agreed that a thorough house cleaning is needed at the White House in light of Thursday’s stinging report by the Tower commission about the Rea gan administration’s Iran-Contra initiative. The Tower commission, headed by former Sen. John Tower of Texas, suggested that the president’s men tried to cover up the full story once the arms-to-Iran deal began unraveling. However, the commis sion said it did not believe President Reagan himself intended to cover up unlawful conduct. While there was bipartisan sup port in the Texas delegation for the ouster of Chief of Staff Don Regan and a reorganization of the White House top staff, Democrats said much more must be told about the affair and the president’s role. Rep. Jack Brooks, D-Beaumont, a member of the House select commit tee probing the affair, said, “The re port that the Tower commission pre sented today confirms that in the Reagan administration the National Security Council has become a vir tual shadow government working out of the basement of the White House. “While the issues of how the NSC was run in the Reagan administra tion — and how it went wrong — are important aspects of the investiga tion into that scandal, it should be kept in mind that much more inves tigative work remains to be done.” Rep. Mike Andrews of Houston de scribed the report as a “devastating blow to the president” and predicted a feeble presidency unless Reagan admits his mistakes and becomes much more assertive in foreign pol icy decision-making. Sen. Phil Gramm, a Republican and close ally of the president, said the Tower report provides the op portunity for Reagan to show the American public that he can learn from his mistakes. Crosby bank closes; FDIC takes over CROSBY (AP) — The First Na tional Bank of Crosby was declared insolvent Thursday and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. was named receiver, said Robert J. Herrmann, senior deputy comptroller for bank supervision for the office of the comptroller of the currency. The FDIC approved the assump tion of deposit liabilities of the Crosby bank by a newly charted sub sidiary of Central Bancshares of the South Inc. of Birmingham, Ala. The bank will retain the same name when it reopens Friday, FDIC spokesman Bill Olcheski said. The failed bank’s depositors auto matically will become depositors of the assuming bank, subject to appro val by the appropriate court, he said. The new bank will assume about $8.1 million in 1,900 deposit ac counts and has agreed to pay the FDIC a purchase premium of $409,500. It also will purchase cer tain of the failed bank’s loans and other assets for $5.7 million. To facilitate the transaction, the FDIC will advance about $2 million to the assuming bank and will retain assets of the failed bank with a book value of about $2.5 million, Olcheski said. The FDIC board of directors ap proved the deposit assumption un der its authority to do so whenever it determines that such a transaction will reduce the potential loss to the FDIC, the spokesman said.

Faculty members said the NCAA action could add momentum to their call for a de-emphasis of football at the university. “One hesitates to put it this way, because it sounds gallows-like,” said Professor Leroy Howe, president of the Faculty Senate. “But I think this may be a help.” Andrew Bryant, director of ad missions, said the sanctions should have little impact on new admissions. Admission applications in Novem ber fell 30 percent compared to last year, but applications are only seve ral percentage points behind last year’s totals, he said. ft sim* hi Chtmichangas T-Bone Steaks Serving The Finest Mexican Food to Texas A&M Students and Faculty for over 15 years House SpeciaHties Include: Red Snapper Zarape’-s ; 308 Main Downtown Bryan 779-8702 9:30-8:45 Closed Mondays Tostadasde Polio Brocheta de Camarones Polio a la Parritla Enchiladas Nortenas Menus vary between restaurants.
