tion passed 14-0 last month, with the
L'nited States abstaining.
Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir
refused to meet Goulding on
grounds that maintaining order in
the occupied territories is an internal
Israeli matter.
The U.N. envoy met with Peres,
and on Tuesday with Defense Min
ister Yitzhak Rabin, who was in Gaza
in the morning to confer with mili
tary chiefs. Goulding also met with
local officials, including former
Mayor Rashad Shawaa of Gaza City.
Shamir’s right-wing Likud bloc
and the center-left Labor Party led
by Peres share power in a “national
unity” government, which reverted
to its usual fractious state after an
initial show of solidarity over the Pal
estinian unrest.
“He (Vandiver) has done a good
job in what he’s done and the fields
that he’s opened up,” he said. “But I
wish we had somebody who’d be a
little more geared toward doing
good for the students.”
Hogan said he would like to see
someone who is in touch with stu
dent concerns in the president’s of
fice — perhaps even a former stu
dent.
“I think if you took a poll, 95 per
cent of the students would say they’d
like an old Ag to be president,” Ho
gan said.
Board Chairman David G. Eller,
Chancellor Perry L. Adkisson and
Vandiver will be among the mem
bers of a search committee to name
Vandiver’s successor. None of the
three were available for comment.

thing that would destroy some of the
traditions which make this university
unique, and make it so rich and indi
vidualistic.”
Bond said any administrator
would face conllicts and Vandiver
has handled them well.
“He and I have shared some of
those times, and they’ve caused him
to grow and me to grow,” Bond said.
“They’ve just been some of those
things that any president would face
that he’s handled with a fair amount
of finesse and grace.”
And Bond said the problems have
virtually disappeared over the years.
“My own recollection is that none
of those things have really surfaced
in the last four or five years,” he
said. “It’s a measure of the man, I

Primary ballot will list
II GOP candidates
AUSTIN (AP) — The names of
ill six Republican presidential candi-
lates will appear on the Texas pri-
tary ballot, but votes received will
ount only if a candidate had the
,000 petition signatures needed to
egally qualify for a ballot position,
OP officials said Monday.
I John Weaver, executive director
■of the Texas GOP, said the decision
was made after questions were raised
about possible forgeries on petitions
submitted by three candidates.
“We’re just trying to handle this as
fairly and openly as possible,”

George Strake made the'' decision
Monday.
Last week, FBI agents seized the
petitions submitted by two candi
dates — Sen. Robert Dole and Alex
ander Haig — after news reporters
found signatures of Democrats, sup
porters of other candidates and
[dead people on their petitions.
In addition, questions were raised
a Plover the weekend about some signa
tures on petitions of former Dela
ware Gov. Pete du Pont.

Weaver said GOP officials want to
verify — through spot checks and
phone calls — the names on those
petitions as well as petitions sub
mitted by the three other Republi
can candidates.
There have been no questions
concerning petitions for Vice Presi
dent George Bush, New York Rep.
Jack Kemp and former television
evangelist Pat Robertson, Weaver
said.
To qualify for the GOP ballot,
candidates had to submit petitions
with the signatures of 5,000 eligible
voters by Jan. 4.
Because some deadlines have
passed and others, such as those for
preparing the actual ballots, are ap
proaching, Weaver said party offi
cials decided to leave all six names
on the ballot.
Also on the ballot, as previously
planned, will be an “uncommitted”
choice, he said.
Under the new plan, if a candi
date failed to submit 5,000 valid sig
natures, Ins name won t be taken off
the ballot.
