Correction
In a Feb. 27 article, The Battal
ion referred to a gas station in
Wixon Valley as “deserted.” The
intention was not to imply that
the station was abandoned, but
simply that it was closed at the
ne the reporter visited the area.

“I’m going to be down there at the
cleanup,” Mauro said, “and all my
pounds (of garbage) are going to the
Aggie assignment.
“We don’t have a litter problem.
We have a garbage problem. With
more than 200,000 students ex
pected to hit the beaches during
spring break, I think this is a real op
portunity for Texas students to
make clean beaches a fact of life
again for Texans.”
Peterman said, “We want the peo
ple of Texas to know that coftege
students don’t mess with Texas
beaches and are willing to do their
part in keeping them clean.”
Mike Sims, A&M student body
president, said Aggies like to get in
volved and Aggies have a good time.
“The spring break beach cleanup
provides the ideal time for Aggies to
do both,” Sims said.
Other schools competing include
the University of Texas, Southwest
Texas State University, the Univer
sity of Houston, Corpus Christi State
University and Del Mar College.
Individual A&M students or stu
dent organizations wanting to com
pete in the cleanup can contact Sims
or call John Hatch at the Texas Gen
eral Land Office at 1-800-252-7273.

A&M VP says change in duties
won’t diminish control of office
By Christi Daugherty
Staff Writer
An impending restructuring of
the office of the vice president for
student services will not diminish
the control of the office itself,
Vice President John Koldus says.
Based on a suggestion made by
President Frank Vandiver, seve
ral areas Koldus currently con
trols will be reassigned to the as-
sistant and associate vice
presidents of student services, Dr.
Malon Southerland and Howard
Perry, who will continue to report
directly to him.
Koldus describes the action as
one that’s been pending for seve
ral years and Says it’s simply a
slight dissemination of power. He
says his office still will be holding
the reins.
“The president had indicated
to me that he thought my span of
control might be too broad, and
he asked me to review that and
come up with a recommenda
tion,” Koldus says. “What this
does is it gives the vice presidents
line control, and it gives me fewer
people in my direct control so I
can spread myself out a little
more in new directidhs.”
Southerland and Perry stand
to benefit the most from the
move, which is expected to take
effect after May 1, Koldus says.
Three departments will report
directly to Southerland — the
Memorial Student Center, the
student activities department.
and the student legal depart
ment.
Southerland is also the interim
commandant of the Corps of Ca
dets.
Perry will have two depart
ments report to him — the de
partment of health services, and
the veterans and handicapped
services department.
Koldus says that even though
this distances him somewhat from
the departments, he still will have
control since the vice presidents
report to him. He says he had al
ready assigned much of the au
thority of the departments over
to them.
“Both of them like having line
responsibility, and they’d have
liked me to have done it years
ago,” Koldus says. “I have en
joyed having a little more control
over the areas by having all those
people (department heads) re
port directly to me.
“I’m not giving up on them
(Perry and Southerland) totally;
they’ll still have the same respon
sibilities. But I probably have not
used them as effectively as I could
have. They’re both outstanding
people, outstanding administra
tors.”
He admits to some reservations
about the timing of the presi
dent’s decision, but says it was
bound to happen eventually.
“I’ve thought about this for
some time, but I’m not sure I
would have suggested it myself
right now,” he says.
Southerland took a diplomatic
approach to his new position, say
ing, “Obviously when your boss
gives you a new assignment
you’re pleased, and it gives me an
opportunity to work more closely
with these departments.”
He says there will be a slight
overlap between the time when
he takes over the new responsibi
lities to when he gives up his role
as interim commandant, but says
he doesn’t foresee any problems.
“I’m in the student-personnel
business because I love it,” he
says. “I feel I fit the category of
workaholic and I enjoy what I
do.”
Perry says the new assignment
won’t be much of a change for
him, since he’s been somewhat in
charge of both areas for some
time.
“They’ve both been under my
direction in many ways all along,
so this won’t be a major change
for me,” Perry says. “Many times
the directors came through me
instead of going directly to John
(Koldus) anyway.”
Koldus says he’d like to hope
for some unaccustomed free time
from this move, but doesn’t ex
pect any.
“My life is a crazy, hectic life,
but I enjoy it and I can’t foresee it
changing,” he says.

Fort Worth man claims North asked him to spy
DALLAS (AP) — A Fort Worth man says he
drew a diagram included in the Tower commis
sion report and that Lt. Col. Oliver North asked
him to spy on critics of the Reagan administra
tion’s Central American policies.
Phil Mabry, head of a non-profit group called
Americans for Human Rights and Social Justice,
told the Dallas Morning News that he discussed
the espionage activities with the former National
Security Council aide at a meeting in North’s of
fice in February 1985.
“North made some comment: ‘We need to be
aware of our opposition.’ I said, ‘Don’t worry
about that. We can take care of that,’ ” Mabry, a
Fort Worth security consultant, told the newspa
per in a story published Thursday.
Mabry said he personally took pictures of lead
ers of two Dallas-Fort Worth area groups — the
Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Sal
vador, or CISPES, and the Inter-Religious Task
Force on Central America — and other activists,
and sent the photos and other material to North.
He said he enlisted volunteers to attend meet
ings and gather information on the groups.
Michael Lent, a CISPES spokesman in Wash
ington, said Mabry’s comments disturbed him
but were not surprising.
“What is the NSC doing working with private
individuals to collect information on opponents
of U.S. policy?” Lent said.
Mabry, who said he was involved in the private
tlj
network to aid the Nicaraguan rebels, said a di
agram attributed to North in the Tower commis
sion report was actually his own. The drawing
used arrows suggesting a flow of weapons and
money to the contras.
The Tower report includes no evidence to
support Mabry’s allegations of a link between po
litical action committees and the private contra
aid network, the News reported.
The diagram shows arrows linking North’s
name to former State Department consultant
Robert Owen, under whose name is the word
“weapons,” and to conservative activist Andrew
Messing, under whose name is the word “funds”.
