Bumper stickers that say “Vote Republi can” and “George Bush for President” and one supporting Phil Gramm are posted on her door. She has a few other posters but her fa vorite is one that a friend drew for her. It depicts the Bloom County character Opus standing behind a lectern, encour aging people to vote and proclaiming: “Texans for Heather West.” Heather West, a sophomore econom ics major from Mexia, said she aspires to be a senator. Kaye Reiter, West’s roommate and a freshman general studies student, said that Phil Gramm gave West the inspira tion to become a senator. “Heather is an avid supporter of Phil Gramm and would like to see him as president one day,” Reiter said. “She is a staunch Republican,” Reiter said. “Very conservative.” West said she tries to keep an open mind about most things because she is not judgmental. “I try so hard to be open-minded but my political beliefs are so strong, it is hard for me to understand other political opinions,” she said. “But I do try.” Jon Bassinger, a junior landscape ar chitecture major, said that although West is opinionated, she is receptive to new ideas. “She is extremely loyal to her beliefs, which is an admirable trait,” Bassinger said. “She stands up for her convictions and she is not a hypocrite.” West talks about the 1988 presidential election between George Bush and Mi chael Dukakis and some of the major is sues. “There are certain points in each plat form I agree with and other points I dis agree with, however, I support the con servative (Republican) side,” West said. “I agree with Dukakis saying the death penalty is appropriate for major drug smugglers, but I disagree with his idea that lifetime imprisonment is not appro priate,” West said. “That seems hypo critical.” West said she does not support weak ening the national defense. “We must be strong enough to pre serve peace,” she said. “I am sorry to say it, but nuclear defense is a must. We also must take an aggressive stance against terrorism. Vengeful people cannot be reasoned with.” She stopped, took a breath and apol ogized for getting carried away. But she said she was not sorry for being so inter ested in politics, something that affects her life so much. West said she became interested in politics at a young age because of her family. “My family is a bunch of overweight — not meaning fat — Republican wo men,” she said. “They talked a lot about politics so I had to grow up fast and get involved so I could be part of the con- verstions. As I grew, my interests grew too, and I became more and more invol ved.” West is a member of the Young Con servatives of Texas and the Aggie GOP. This semester, working for the Aggie GOP, she has volunteered to encourage people to register to vote. She said she has one message for all students: “VOTE!” “Many people come to the United States from other countries because of the right to vote,” West said. “It is our right, our responsibility, our duty to vote and choose our leaders. We must take advantage of this.” With that, she leaned back on her bed, picked up her stuffed elephant and said, “Please vote!” And then, more quietly, she said, “Re publican.” MSC SCONA: Dr. Jay Barney will address "U.S. Japan Trade Relations ;' p.m. in 308 Rudder.

The concert I’ouch,” showca Business expert: A&M students must watch international scene By Sandra Lozano Reporter In the evolving world marketplace, every firm and corporation eventually will become involved in some form of international business in the near future. Dr. Kerry Cooper said. Cooper, director of the Texas A&M Center for International Business, said that today’s business student must antic ipate and prepare for the change while still at the undergraduate level. Although Cooper said he is in favor of the undergraduate becoming exposed to the ideas of international business, he said he is completely against any kind of specialized training at that level. “Anyone interested in business should consider studying international busi ness,” he said. “Yet, these people should not be limited to just studying the inter national aspect. “It is not necessary, at least as an un dergraduate, to learn detailed interna tional business techniques,” he said. “In fact, I don’t particularly recommend it. It is better to study other things also.” Dr. Arvind Mahajan, A&M associate professor of international finance, agrees. “There are many different dimensions and different attributes to international business that are required in order to be successful in this field,” Mahajan said. “Some of these, of course, are related to an empathy of human beings that in volves more of an understanding in the humanities areas. One should have an understanding of the possibility that there are other cultures that are differ ent.” Acknowledging differences in reli gions also is important, he said. “There are people with different practices as well as different value systems,” he said. Mahajan said he believes that a recog nition of different cultures must be learned early in life. “Just exposure to a foreign language in high school helps,” he says. “It allows a window into another culture. “But more closely related to the nar row focus of business education, I think international business courses should be taken in the junior and senior years to help round off your understanding of the functional areas.” Cooper shares the idea that students should postpone studying courses with a concentrated international emphasis until the latter part of their academic careers. He advises students to take courses in ge ography, history and sociology as well. Cooper said that the center gives ad vice to students interested in adding an emphasis on international business to their majors. However, he suggests that the students first consult with departmen tal advisers. “Every department in the College of Business, as well as a number of depart ments across the University, has aca demic advisers who are familiar with the international aspects of the particular areas of interest,” he said. “The first place to go to is the department of the college in which you’re presently located as a major. From there, they’ll route you to the appropriate people.” Mahajan said the study of interna tional business at A&M has come to the forefront of importance because of goals set by President William Mobley. Mahajan said that Mobley wants the University to become involved in the “g- lobal village.” The Center for International Business Studies is working to accomplish that goal, Mahajan said. Reasons for studying international business can be divided into two sec tions, he said. “Students must become aware fe studying international business ttie; be undertaking the study oftwost gics,” he said. “The first one isi fensive strategy that will help us our own turf from foreign corapel!

A new athletic code that goes into ef fect this week covers not only the behav ior of the school’s athletes, but also coaches and spectators. “We were asked to come up with some strict, rigid guidelines and we did,’’ Cleveland High School principal Lubbie Whitmire said. ‘‘Our board wanted to prevent any trouble from hap pening again.’’ letic 1989 program on probation through Cleveland’s new codes state any ath lete participating in a fight on the field of play during or after a contest shall imme diately be suspended from all athletics for the remainder of the year. The new guidelines also say if a physi cal confrontation occurs on the field, all athletes are to go to the sidelines and re main there. Failure to do so will result in their being suspended for the remainder of the year. ^Common Sense & Traditional Family Values For this important judicial position.

Call 845-2611 The new code was sparked by a brawl that emptied both benches during the closing seconds of the Cleveland-Lum- berton game, which Cleveland lost by one point. The board canceled the rest of its season because of the incident, saying it intended to gain control of the students and show such behavior would not be tolerated. The University Interscholastic League district committee upheld the board's de-__ sidelines who behaves in an cision and placed Cleveland’s entire ath- manlike manner. Besides fighting, any other unsports manlike violation will result in a player being immediately suspended from that game and the next game. The athlete also must immediately report to the dressing room and cannot attend next week’s game or practice. A second unsports manlike violation will result in the player being suspended for the remainder of the season, the code states. The same applies to a player on the unsports- MARGARET (AP) — Underneath an old pioneer cemetery, black gold may be buried. Northeast of Crowell, the Old Marga ret Cemetery has been leased for drilling by Foard County, although families who take care of the cemetery say they were unaware of the county’s apparent own ership of the cemetery. Foard County Commissioners voted at a recent meeting to lease the cemetery to an oil company for $86 for three years on grounds that the acreage was given to the county as a gift by a landowner in 1916. A spokesman for Morrison Oil Com pany in Abilene said there is no reason for slant drilling under the cemetery now and he does not foresee any drilling un der it in the future, although wells have been drilled close to the cemetery within the last two years. Still, the county decision does not rest well with some area families and descen dants of those buried in the cemetery. State law prevents oil drilling on top of a cemetery, but not underneath it, therefore slant drilling and pipelines can pump oil from underneath a cemetery from nearby wells, although it is as un common as oil being drilled out from un der a building. Both marked and unmarked graves fill the cemetery. The cemetery’s first recorded grave was dug in 1884 and some families are struggling with the thought of oil being pumped out beneath the caskets. “I would be opposed to oil being drilled underneath it,” Clyde Taylor of Amarillo said. Her husband, grandparents and son are all buried at Old Margaret Cemetery. She also plans to be buried there. Foard County Judge Charlie Bell said Williamson Oil Company of Abilene, which leases land owned by County Sheriff Bobby Bond around the ceme- and one-half acres of cemeter) turned up a deed from 1916 in a house vault that indicated the cei was turned over the Foard Couniy and his successors. “We decided we would take bids as county property,” Bell said. ‘‘Of course state law preventsdi on a cemetery, but it could beconne' to a pooling unit and pumped up fi adjacent well,” Bell said.
