Experts to discuss USSR at forum
By Mary-Lynne Rice
Staff' Writer
Diplomats and scholars from
the United States and the Soviet
Union and students from around
the world will meet at MSC
SCONA 33 this week to discuss
one of today’s most prominent
political issues — “U.S.S.R: The
Kremlin in Transitibn.”
The Student Committee on
National Affairs will sponsor five
programs Wednesday through
Saturday, each open to the public
at no cost. 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. Birch, ambassador and
deputy permanent representative
of the United Kingdom to the
United Nations, and Dr. Aleksa
Djilas, visiting scholar at the Rus
sian Research Center of Harvard
University.
• Dr. George Feifer, author of
“Justice in Moscow” and “Moscow
Farewell,” will speak about “Life
in the U.S.S.R” at 7:30 p.m.
Thursday.
• Members of a second panel
will discuss “U.S.-Soviet Rela
tions” at 10 a.m. Friday.
Speakers will be Igor Fominov,
U.N. legal affairs officer; Dr.
Robert Gorman, the State De
partment’s director of the Office
of Analysis for the Soviet Union
and Eastern Europe; Dr. Jerry
Hough, the James B. Duke pro
fessor of political science at Duke
University, and His Excellency
Igor Khripunov, first secretary to
the Soviet Embassy.
• Time magazine’s Washing
ton Bureau Chief Strobe Talbott
will give the conference’s closing
address about “The Future of the
Soviet Union” at 10 a.m. Satur
day.
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.

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.
