Foreign Aggies’ intereCo
in U.S. elections varies. .
By Richard Tijerina
Staff Writer
International students as a whole at
A&M are interested but not overly con
cerned with either the American political
process or the outcome of the presi
dential election, according to Gabriel
Carranza, International Students Asso
ciation president.
Carranza said international students he
has talked to are not overly interested in
the procc because they are not U.S. cit
izens and cannot vote.
“We look at the whole process of cam
paigning, but of course we cannot vote
so we look at it from a distance,” Car
ranza said. “We are some kind of resi
dents because we go to school in this
country, so we do have some feelings
about how it will turn out.”
Carranza said the general impression
he has gotten from other international
students is that America’s position in
world affairs with other nations is in
jeopardy, mostly because of failed poli
cies of the Reagan administration.
“The last eight years have been very
harmful to the rest of the world,” he said.
“International students are very unhappy
with Reagan’s policies. Many students
from Latin-American countries are
against Contra aid. Many of those coun
tries are not happy with the U.S.”
He said many Latin-American coun
tries are unhappy with the United States
because of unfavorable trade policies.
He said these policies have caused many
of these countries to import only half of
what they imported eight years ago.
However, Jaime Gutierrez, a member
of the El Salvador international students
organization, said he believed that most
Central Americans are leaning towards a
Republican victory because they are in
favor of Reagan’s policies in the region,
particularly military aid.
“Most people in El Salvador and
across Central America are backing
Bush because of the way the Reagan ad
ministration is handling international af
fairs there, especially with military aid,”
he said.
Gutierrez said the political process in
America is similar to the process in El
Salvador, except that the United States is
more organized and El Salvador deter
mines its president by the popular vote,
not the electoral college.

Soviets do not know much about the
American political process, mainly be
cause the government does not tell the
Soviet public about it, according to Leon
Galindo, a member of the Bolivian inter
national students organization. He said
that the American political process is
very similar to that in his country, and he
said he believes that the United States’
greatest problem is its low voter turnout.
“I think with today being what it is,
Americans do not take part in the politi
cal process as much as they should,” he
said. “The U.S. has so much power in its
hands and it has the power to control
what is going on in the world.”
Galindo said voter turnout is not a
problem in his Bolivia because the its
citizens are more concerned with the sta
tus of the country.
“Generally, we living in the Third
World countries of the world are living
in a harsher reality,” he said. “We sec
the poverty lying on thestrefis ;
people that are suffering, so wj
do something about it. American,

STRAIGHT
AUSTIN (AE) — Democrat Lloyd
Bentsen, whose name also appeared on
the Texas ballot as his party’s vice presi
dential candidate, won re-election to a
fourth term in the U.S. Senate, beating
Republican challenger Beau Boulter.
With 35 percent of the precincts re
porting, Bentsen had 945,024 or 57 per
cent, to 708,195 or 43 percent for
Boulter, a two-term congressman from
Amarillo. ,
Bentsen had the advantage of money
and name recognition in his simulta
neous campaign for the Senate and as
Michael Dukakis’ running mate.
Boulter, who was endorsed by George
Bush and had hoped for help from the
Republican presidential candidate’s coat
tails, harshly criticized Bentsen’s dual
candidacy in the campaign.
As he looked to returning to the Sen
ate, Bentsen said it would be difficult to
avoid a tax increase.
“It’s going to be a tough one,” Bent
sen said Tuesday night in an interview on
CBS. “The choices will be very diffi
cult, and we’re facing this mountain of
debt. They’ve almost tripled the national
debt in the last eight years, and then all
of this international debt. It’s going to be
extremely difficult to handle.”
While Bentsen waited for returns in
Austin, Boulter was in Amarillo.
“I have met so many friends all over
this state, and there’s no other way 1
could be anything but joyful over this en
tire campaign and this experience,’’
Boulter said.
“Even before I decided to run, Bent
sen hit with a barrage of publicity, some
of it very, very negative. He tried to un
dermine me here at home and in my dis
trict, and I’m very grateful for the friends
who have stayed with me in my home
district.”
Boulter criticized Bentsen for accept-
l n Mublican
ing the second spot on the lx' iw,
presidential ticket. Such a di:-t ay,,
dacy is legal under a 1959 state - New Alliancc
ten to allow Lyndon Johnson to
