ism there has proved that no country
can survive socialist rule for very
long, he added.
The present economies of Eastern
Europe can be termed “trash econ
omies”, Reynolds said, because that
is about all they produce. Any early
perceived successes were the result
of politicized Western scholarship
and CIA complicity — Western pro
fessors hate private property and
markets; they want socialism to suc
ceed.
The strongest hinderance to eco
nomic freedom will come from the
bureaucracy as well as from old and
new politicians, socialist intellectuals,
the clergy and others afraid of re
sponsibility, Reynolds said.
Most of the world remains impov
erished because it is unwilling to sus
tain the institutions of capitalism, he
added.
“The reforms should move
uickly, in a great institutional leap
orward,” Reynolds said. “Otherwise
this historic opportunity to create a
humane environment lor self help,
independence and abundance may
be fumbled.”
Local media
Moscow McDonald's deserves a break today
Soviet bakery gets fresh buns
with help from Texas business
PLANO (AP) — While hundreds of Russian pa
trons got their first taste las* week of an Arnerican-
style hamburger at the new McDonald’s restaurant
in Moscow, probably few were aware that two critical
pieces of equipment in a supporting Moscow bakery
were manufactured deep in the heart of Texas.
Plano-based Stewart Systems inc., a worldwide
manufacturer of bakery equipment, supplied and in
stalled two automated devices, a depanner and a
Pillo-Pak, at the Moscow bakery for roughly
$250,000, said Cat Neugent, senior applications en
gineer for Stewart Systems.
“It is novel in the sense that we’ve never actually
sold any equipment to Eastern Bloc countries,” Neu
gent satd.
The restaurant, a joint venture of McDonald’s of
Canada and the dry of Moscow, was 14 years in the
making. But, the reforms of President Mikhail S.
Gorbachev finally enabled Moscow residents the
chance to experience a classic slice of Americana.
To support the Moscow restaurant, McDonald’s
built its own factory, bakery, dairy, meat-processing
plant and potato storage yard in the Soviet Union,
Neugent said the two pieces of bakery equipment
are capable of processing 800 buns per minute, al
though the Moscow bakery now operates at a capac
ity of about 300 buns a minute to support the one
large restaurant.
Eventually, the bakery may support as many as20
McDonald’s stores in the Moscow area.
fol
Neugent said the depanner separates buns from
pans after baking and sends both on respective con
veyors for additional processing.
The Pillo-Pak receives cooled buns, then orga
nizes, slices and packages them in large plastic sealed
bags, he said.
Neugent said it was no great surprise that McDon
ald’s of Canada contacted the Plano-based firm re
garding the equipment.
Besides the Moscow bakery. Stewart Systems has
built eight bakeries for McDonald’s since December
1985. Five are located in the United States, while one
is in Canada, one is going to Mexico and one is being
built for Paris.
Yet the Moscow effort was still an “interestinr
process,” Neugent said, because it may have resulted
from a string of recent politicaf events in the Soviet
Union.
Stewart Systems initially was contacted atom
building the two items last summer. After thepiecer
were shipped in October to Canada, they arrived in
followi;
Moscow following an assembly stop in Helsinki.

But the electronic medium is not
the only one to recognize the need
for change.
Eagle Managing Editor W.O.
Cawley Jr. said the readers of the Ea
gle are in for quite a few surprises
when the new format appears Sun
day.
Sunday’s change, which is the first
of many possible renovations for the
paper, should make the reporting
more consistent and concise, Cawley
said.
“We wanted to design a newspa
per for the 90s,” Cawley said.
The paper purposely strayed
away from copying the format of a
Dallas or Houston paper, he said.
The Eagle did consider some re
search from a report by the Massa-
chussetts Institute of Technology.
The management of the paper, how
ever, did not want to follow the stan
dards set by other papers. Instead, it
wanted to create an image of its own.
The new format, which the Eagle
is concealing until Sunday’s release,
will not affect the price of the paper,
Cawley said. He said the paper is uti
lizing techniques and equipment it
already had.
The paper, which serves seven
counties, has a daily circulation of
24,500 and a Sunday circulation of
28,500.
If readers have any questions or
suggestions for either medium, they
can call 776-4444 (ext. 400) for the
Eagle. Viewers with questions can

it is illegal.
“In the states the black smoke is
released during the night,” he said.
“But in Alaska there sometimes is no
night, so they do it during the day.”
Oil companies claim that they can
obtain 3.2 billion harries of crude oil
from the refuge, Kohm said. That’s
about enough to last six months, he
said.
Kohm said the refuge could re-
“It’s a magical place,” he said.
“You’re standing on ground that is
miles away from the North Pole.
900 miles away
It’s an absolutely incredible wildlife
display.”
Rohm spent some time with the
local tribe called the Gwich’in. He
said the tribe is terrified that it is
going to lose its land and culture to
oil companies.
“Everyone I talked to from the
elders to the teenagers told me that
life would be over,” he said,
After returning home from:
Refuge, Kohm decided hehadtodjl
something. Together with productf
Glendon Brunk they spent diretj
months putting together the
show.
“It was a labor of love, wetodl
over 10,000 slides of the refuge,"!
said “ I want to convince the pub!
that this land should not be d;
tin bed and this is the best way!
could think of to do it.”
Panel
(Continued from page 4)
part of the MSC Student Conference
on National Affairs program, “U-
nited States Foreign Aid: Purpose,
Players and Politics.”
Goodwin said U.S. foreign aid for
1990 will be $14.6 billion, which is
only 1.2 percent of the total budget.
“Most foreign aid is spent to drive
the U.S. economy,” he said. “Ini
tially, everything we did was human
itarian with a developmental assis
tance note. We’ve gotten away from
the original idea of the program.
“I don’t like what’s nappening in
today’s foreign assistance. The
United States seems to be getting
away from what it does best, which is
training people and building institu
tions.”
Patrick Breslin, another member
of the panel, agreed with Goodwin
that the motivation behind U.S. for
eign aid is moving away from its hu
manitarian origin and becoming
more self-serving.
Breslin is a research coordinator
at the Inter-American Foundation’s
Office of Learning and Dissemina
tion. Congress established the Inter-
American Institute in 1969 to ad
dress concerns that U.S. foreign aid
was not effectively helping the Third
World countries that were receiving
it. The institute only gives grants to
private foreign organizations that
need aid.
"Now funds no longer go fo:
government to government
help can directly reach the peoplt
Breslin said.
“We don’t cancel programs
countries because we don’tliketin
T.N. vote. We’re not partofthefe
reaucracies of government."
Another panel member, G
Charles Rex Weaver, said that li
foreign military aid allows friend
countries to build up their forcesb
purchasing U.S. defense equipmer.
This reduces the chance of dire
conflict, thereby reducing the dre
on U.S. military resources, he said
Weaver is a former U.S. Am
Chief in the Office of Military Coof
eration in Beirut.
Tower
(Continued from page 1)
major, said he registered for school
late, and was assigned to a dorm on
campus that did not have air condi
tioning.
“I just didn’t want to stay in an un
air-conditioned dorm,” Simmons
said. “And, being a freshman, my
parents really didn’t want me in an
apartment.”
Simmons said when he first
moved into his room, he had prob
lems with the air-conditioning, but
it’s now fixed.
Nancy Thompson, coordinator
for the Off Campus Center, said that
when the Tower first opened, some
students complained that parts of
the renovations that they thought
would be ready, weren’t.
“It was just basic problems you
face when rennovating an old build
ing,” she said. “Plumbing and the
telephone lines ... but by mid-No
vember we stopped receiving those
complaints.”
Ashley Waters, a freshman exer
cise technology major, said she feels
the only disadvantage of living in
University Tower is that it is located
off campus.
Ross said the Tower caters to the
student. A quiet study room and a
computer room with 14 Macin
toshes and IBM-compatibles are
available 24 hours a clay. Additio
nally, at times there are people avail
able who help students with ques
tions or problems with their
computer work.
For the resident seeking recre
ation, the tower has a large indoor
pool. Located by the pool are two
whirlpool spas and a weight and
exercise room. There are game and
television rooms, a cafeteria and
even a hair salon.
Outside of the central area of the
tower are a sand volleyball pit and
sport court.
The tower provides free shuttle
service for students traveling to the
A&M campus. The bus runs every
15 minutes 'from morning to eve-
nin g-
Security in the University Tower
is a high priority, Ross said. Fifty
surveillance cameras mounted
throughout the complex check the
grounds constantly. They are mon
itored by a security officer at the
front desk.
Residents are required to carry a
magnetic card at all times which
opens secured doors in certain sec
tions of the complex. Dorm resi
dents are able to go from one floor
to another, but hotel guests have a
card for their floor only, Ross said.
Simmons said, “The security gets
to be a pain sometimes because you
always have to have your access card
and you have to go through a lot of
gates to get to your room.
“I know the girls really like the se
curity,” Simmons said. “It makes
them feel safe.”
Guests of residents must register
at a security station upon entering
the building and their names are re
corded for safety purposes.
Ross said that in addition to fulfil
ling the academic and recreational
needs of the residents, the tower cre
ates an environment that is easy for
students to make friends.
“There’s an atmosphere hen
that’s a lot more personal,"
said. “I think it’s easy to develuj
friendships here.”
Simmons said the Tower hi
many social f unctions for its res
dents, giving students a chance
meet.
“We had a big party about W
weeks ago, and it was a lot of fa
he said.
University Tower opened ini
gust 1989. Ross said that despitethf
fact hotel occupancy rates havew
been as high as hoped, Universif
Tower has been quite successfs:
The 200 dorm rooms have a
cent occupancy rate and willbetjuii
full the next academic year, he said
Ross has been pleased with then
suits of University Tower and plan
to build another similar complex. 1
The new student residence, ca
The Forum, will be at 2300 Tes
Ave. in Bryan. Ross said thebu
should be ready for occupancy i :
the 1990-91 school year.
