All events will be held in Rudder Theater. • At 8 p.m. Wednesday, Dr. Dimitri Simes of the Carnegie En dowment for Peace will begin the conference with a speech about “Glasnost” the Soviet Union’s new “openness” policy. • Four speakers, including Texas A&M history professor Dr. Betty Unterberger, will hold a panel discussion on “Soviet For eign Policy” at 10 a.m. Thursday. Also participating will be His Excellency Alexander M. Belono gov, Soviet ambassador to the United Nations; His Excellency John A.

Throughout the conference, the 175 student delegates will participate in “roundtable” dis cussions moderated by ambassa dors, authors and professors of Soviet affairs. This will be A&M’s 33rd SCONA conference. SCONA Publicity Chairman Kirk Kistner says the conference’s primary focus is to bring student leaders together for education and discussion of political and so cial issues. Kistner said the aim of the pro gram is not to try to solve prob lems, but to bring important is sues up for discussion. “When you get this caliber of people together, you can’t get anything but good out of it,” Kistner said. “We’re not looking for any real answers. These are all people of diverse backgrounds who have come to exchange ideas.” Senate considers election resolution The Student Senate will con sider a resolution to revise elec tion regulations for student gov ernment offices on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in 204 Harrington, be fore the election process begins in March. Student government elections are scheduled for March 30. Other topics to be discussed in clude the Faculty Senate’s propo sal to ban smoking in many areas of the A&M campus and the com promise proposal between the Student and Faculty senates on the rescheduling of senior finals. The smoking proposal was passed by the Faculty Senate in December and is being consid ered by President Frank E. Van diver. Jay Hays, speaker of the Stu dent Senate, said that the issue of the smoking proposal has been assigned to the student services committee and is being reviewed. “The committee has divided up into groups and is talking to the cancer society and students and professors on campus,” Hays said. “We should have a response to the faculty’s resolution in two or three weeks.” Hays said that discussion on the finals issue will center on the Faculty Senate’s response to the proposal that was approved by the Student Senate on Jan . 27. Perot gives SMU $1 million donation to ‘rebuild’ future DALLAS (AP) — Billionaire H. Ross Perot gave Southern Methodist University i&l million Monday and praised the school’s new administra tion for putting academics before athletics. “Just having a bunch of gorillas who can’t read and write, and none of them are going to get a degree, and they all get a full scholarship and a Mercedes . . . now that’s the Texas way, that’s not the SMU way. That’s the Southwest Conference way,” Perot told a news conference. Perot said the university’s new E resident, A. Kenneth Pye, and ath- ■tic director, Doug Single, have shown the school has straightened out its priorities. SMU was slapped with the NCAA’s stiffest sanction, the death penalty, after an investigation re vealed football players were being paid to attend. The National Colle giate Athletic Association banned football at SMU in 1987 and the school voluntarily suspended its 1988 season. Pye and Single were hired in the scandal’s wake, and now Pye says the university faces a million-dollar shortfall. Clements The university announced Friday it faced a deficit of at least $4 million in next year’s budget. Trustees said tuition would be raised 8 percent and room and board fees would be increased 2.5 percent to meet the shortfall. “The reason why tuition is in creasing and the reason why salary increases are not taking place is we have a need for unrestricted funds to meet the general purposes of the university,” Pye said. Known for his support of public and private education, Perot said SMU could use the donation from the Perot Foundation as it sees fit. Most donations to the university are designated for specific purposes by donors, Pye said. “This university, unlike most uni versities, has a relatively small en dowment that is available through general administration,” Pye said. Books, most scholarships, computer operations and even lawn mainte nance are paid for through that fund. Although the contributions won’t affect the tuition increases, it should defray some of the scholarship costs and contribute to financial aid avail ability, Pye said. (Continued from page 1) ical of not having reached the goals we were trying to achieve.” The governor said minority stu dent recrutiment goals are being re set and there will be more effort than in the past to meet these goals. Clements said he believes it is im portant for the state to keep its tal ented people here. “If we can recruit and retain the talents we have in the state, we can improve both numbers and quality,” he said. “I am very impressed with their efforts to improve the quality,” Clements said. Clements also said he is impressed and pleased to learn about the re search which goes on at A&M. “I am delighted to find out that nationally, among all the academic insliiuuoiia ai.i uss the country, /-vdovi ranks eleventh in its research and hopefully it will move up from that point,” Clements said. “Details of the research at A&M are most impressive,” he said. Clements said he believes A&M will play a large part also in trying to bring the supercollider to Texas. “My efforts are concetrated on the supercollider and that will be the major effort we will put forward and in doing that, it will benefit A&M,” Clements said. “The emphasis has shifted and it has shifted in the area of more re search and I think it has to do with age of technology we are in,” he said. “We would not be in the postilion we are now without the help from A&M and some of the scientists and engineers here,” Clements said. 2.50 ADMISSION 1.
