A&M cadet assists Navy
in Carribean drug busts

Instead of spending the summer on vacation or in
school, one Texas A&M cadet was busting drug smug
glers in the Carribean.
Joe Garry, a senior history major, was a member of a
Navy crew that seized $8 million worth of cocaine this
summer.
Garry was stationed aboard a Navy frigate for 35
days as part of the Navy ROTC summer cruise pro
gram.
He said the cruise was a valuable experience because
the daily routine of shipboard life can’t be taught in the
classroom.
“Since I was on board as a midshipman, my role was
that of a professional observer,” Garry said. “I wasn’t
actually allowed to participate in the bust, but I was able
to watch everything from the deck.
“We had two assists and one full-fledged bust while I
was there. We also stopped all north-bound vessels in
our assigned area so they could be boarded and
searched by Coast Guard personnel.”
This cruise was Garry’s first-class cruise, which Navy
scholarship students and students in the advanced
phase of the Navy ROTC program take between their
junior and senior years.
Navy scholarship students also take a third-class
cruise after their freshman year and an orientation
cruise after their sophomore year.
“Summer cruises are the most intense dose of profes
sional training that cadets get,” Lt. Bruce Johnson, the
Navy summer training cruise coordinator for AH
said.
Johnson said about 40 A&M cadets go on first-das
cruises each summer. This summer A&M cadets ati
stationed in the West Pacific, the Mediterranean, Honj
Kong, Tokyo, Guam, the North Arabian Seaandlli
Persian Gulf.
“Cruises give cadets a chance to see what military
service is really like,” Johnson said. “It’s the most fas
thing the Navy can do for cadets.
“A lot of these guys watch “Top Gun” and thinl
they’re Tom Cruise. They have no idea whatit’srea!
like until they see it first-hand.”
Ensign Mike Fulkerson, a May A&M gradual!
agreed that summer cruises are important for cadets.
“There’s only so much you can learn in the class
room,” he said. “When we’re in school, Hryan Utilite
Lake is our ocean. It’s just not the same.”
Johnson said Navy scholarship students, who talt
three cruises during college, have several differentai
signments during the summer cruises.
Cadets on third-class cruises serve three weeksascs
listed men and one week as junior officers.
During orientation cruises, cadets serve one wtel
with the service Navy, one week with the aviationcont
munity, one week with the submarine community ami
one week with the Marines.
Cadets on first-class cruises are division officers ami
are responsible for 15 to 50 men.
Police arrest Texas Instruments

AMARILLO (AP) — Police have
arrested a man they allege was paid
to assault Sen. Bill Sarpalius on a
crowded nightclub dance floor in
January, officials said.
A.B. Towery, Jr., 28, was free
Tuesday on a personal recognizance
bond after being arrested Saturday
and charged with aggravated as
sault, Lt. Robert Francis, coordina
tor of the Panhandle Regional Orga
nized Crime Unit, said.
Police on Monday also arrested a
second man on charges related to
the attack on Sarpalius, D-Amarillo,
Francis said.
A third man wanted in connection
with the case remained free on
Tuesday, but Francis said he ex
pected him to turn himself in later in
the week.
Complaints filed against the sus
pects allege Towery was promised
$100 by a nightclub co-owner to as
sault Sarpalius.
Towery did not know who he hit
until after the attack, Francis said.
Sarpalius was assaulted during the
early hours of Jan. 9 at the Caravan
nightclub and suffered a broken jaw
in the attack.
He spent most of his successful
campaign for the Democratic nomi
nation for the 13 th Congressional
District seat with his jaw wired shut.
Francis said Towery will not be
prosecuted for the felony because he
has cooperated with the investiga
tion.

DALLAS (AP) — Texas Instru

Lawmaker calls for resignation
of state education commissione
AUSTIN (AP) — A South Texas
lawmaker called Tuesday for Higher
Education Commissioner Kenneth
Ashworth to resign, after Ashworth
suggested that no additional doc
toral programs be approved for
South Texas universities until the in-
stitutions reach a sharing
agreement.
Rep. Eddie Cavazos, D-Corpus
Christi, said he has sent a letter to
Higher Education Coordinating
Board members saying Ashworth
should be fired if he does not resign.
Cavazos said Ashworth has demon
strated “gross neglect and total dis
regard of the systems of higher edu
cation in South Texas.”
a presentation describing “an affir
mative approach to take to try to
help the institutions of South Texas
reach agreement with the coordinat
ing board on the degree programs
they should offer.”

Ashworth was out of town and not
immediately available for comment,
Janis Monger, co-director of public
information for the coordinating
board, said. Ashworth, who has been
education commissioner since 1976,
serves at the pleasure of the board.
Ashworth said in the report given
last week to the board that he would
meet with university presidents in
September, and that his staff also
would meet with administrators
from South Texas institutions. The
board approved a recommendation
to the Legislature proposed by Ash
worth that would give $1.8 million
for six South Texas universities to
start new programs in 1990-91.
