Everything’s coming up roses for
T iffany Reagor, who brought na
tional attention to Texas A&M’s flo
ral design program.
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.

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.

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.
