Reagor, a senior floriculture ma jor from College Station, won third place in the Spontaneous Design cat egory during the American Institute of Floral Design’s Student Competi tion July 2 in Chicago. The contest was part of AIFD’s 1989 National Symposium, which attracted 47 par ticipants from eight student chapters across the nation. “I didn’t feel any pressure this year,” Reagor said. “I have in the past, but I was more confident this time.” This was Reagor’s third year to at tend the symposium. All contestants were given the same amount of red carnations, white larkspur, allium, alstroemeria, tree fern and moss. Everyone re ceived an unfinished, spherical ce ramic vase in which to create their design, which was judged by profes sional floral designers. The student competition had three other sections, including a wired and taped bouquet, a dried material creation and a banquet table centerpiece. Reagor is president of A&M’s For sythe Center of Student American Institute of Floral Design. She has designed for four years and works for Post Oak Florist in College Sta tion. Reagor is working to receive a Texas Master Florist certificate, an elite recognition for florists in Texas. 3 bdrm./2 bill, mobile home, country setting. 2 acres, lots ol trees, available April 1st. $385./mo. 4- $200. de posit. 817-481-0773 lOOttf'n Storm victims eligible for aid State, federal help available for Texas counties 2B/1V&B duplexes & 4 plexes.

GALVESTON (AP) — Two peo ple were missing Tuesday after an apparent midair collision between two commercial helicopters in the open gulf off Galveston Island, the Coast Guard said Tuesday. The crash occurred around 4:30 p.m. about 2 miles south of the is land, and a search was under way for possible survivors, Coast Guard Lt. Scott LaRochelle said. “The wreckage of both helicopt ers is in the water right now,” LaRo chelle said. “We have a Coast Guard helicopter and a patrol boat search ing the area right now looking for survivors.” The names of the two missing pi lots were not immediately released, pending notification of relatives. LaRochelle said the local Galves ton airport alerted crews to the acci dent after losing radio communica tions with the helicopters, which apparently are used to ferry crews to of fshore drilling sites. However, only the pilots were re ported aboard the crafts, LaRochelle said. One of the helicopters, a Bell 206- Ll, was owned by Air Logistics Inc. of New Iberia, La. The other was identified as an Aerospatiale AS-350 owned by Petroleum Helicopters Inc. of Lafayette, La., company offi cials confirmed. It was not immediately known whether there were any witnesses to the crash. WANTED fW Acrro/v I! mwr ADS Battalion Advertising Representatives T. Boone Pickens Wedn tells of Japanese plat"” to deny him power ^ Ro WASHINGTON (AP) — Cor porate raider T. Boone Pickens Jr. told Congress Tuesday the Japanese are resisting his foray into corporate ownership there to prevent him from exposing a closed, monopolis tic economy. The millionaire Texas oilman, known for his often hostile raids on U.S. companies, purchased a 20.2 percent stake in Koito Manufactur ing Co., an automobile lighting com pany, for $800 million. But he was rebuffed two weeks ago at a share holders’ meeting in Tokyo when he sought three seats on Koito’s 20- member board. Pickens said he poses no threat to the company’s management because the web of interconnected stock holders, including Koito’s custom ers, can easily outvote him. “T hey must want to exclude me so that an American won’t see how their cartel works,” Pickens told the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation. “They don’t want their system exposed for what it is.” In fact, he said the Japanese may be exporting their system of close links between companies and sup pliers when they build factories in the United States. “American suppliers are already complaining that they cannot get a piece of the action,” he said. Sen. Ernest F. Hollings, D-S.C., chairman of the panel and a strong advocate of an aggressive trade pol icy, praised Pickens for having given the committee a “wonderful under standing” of the barriers Japan erects to outside investment. “This is a matter of policy . . . They try to finesse it witn the word ‘culture.’ They’ve got the same cul ture you and I’ve got — money talks,” Hollings said. Pickens’ testimony came as the committee considered a bill, spon sored by Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa., and Rep. John Bryant, D-Texas. It would require foreign investors to register with the Department of Commerce when they purchase more than a 5 percent stake in a LJ.S. company or real -it ries for l I He le iun.
