CHARLES C. SCHROEPPEL, O.D., P.C.
DOCTOR OF OPTOMETRY
BONN, West Germany (AP) —
Chancellor Helmut Kohl on Tues
day firmly rejected Moscow’s sugges
tion that settling the military com-
g lexities of a united Germany could
e delayed until after the countries
are merged.
“It would be a fatal development
if the external and internal condi
tions of German unity were not com
pletely clear when the day of Ger
man unity comes,” Kohl told
reporters.
The chancellor was referring to a
suggestion by Soviet Foreign Min
ister Eduard Shevardnadze that for
mal German unity could occur be
fore “external” aspects of the
merger are cleared up.
Such “external” aspects would in
clude those issues with international
implications, such as the military
stance of a united Germany. West
Germany currently belongs to
NATO, while East Germany is a
member of the Soviet-led Warsaw
Pact.
The Soviets oppose a united Ger
many in NATO.
During reunification talks Satur
day in Bonn, Shevardnadze also sug
gested a “transition period” during
which the four wartime allies would
retain postwar rights, even after
German unity.
The United States, the Soviet
Union, France and Britain jointly
control many matters in the former
German capital of Berlin. They also
have special rights outside Berlin,
many involving the status of the
troops they maintain in what once
were their postwar military occupa
tion zones.
Shevardnadze’s remarks initially
triggered jubilation among some
West German politicians, who
sensed the pace of unification was
picking up.
But by Tuesday that had changed
to concern about delaying settlement
of important issues related to Ger
man unification.
There had even been talk among
some politicians of canceling West
Germany’s Dec. 2 national election
in favor of elections for a united
Germany’s parliament.
But Kohl said Tuesday “without
question” the Dec. 2 elections will
still occur.
Moscow has suggested as a com
promise that a united Germany be
long to both NATO and the Warsaw
Pact until still-undefined European
“security structures” are created.

at night and selling snacks and

People that need the library’s
materials should be there, but group
studiers are often there to socialize
also, she said.
“If there were other alternatives
here for students, maybe it (the li
brary) wouldn’t serve that purpose,”
she said.
Hoadley also plans to take advan
tage of more technological possibili
ties.
She said she plans to add to the
NOTIS system. By next year, she
hopes a system for users to call in
questions on a computer will be com
pleted.
“It beats coming to the library on
a rainy night,” she said.
Hoadley also said she will con
tinue to build on to the compact disc
equipment.
She wants to establish a system for
students to access both the record
and the actual document from their
computer terminal.

her Achilles tendon.
It never healed properly, so she
called it quits in 1933, saying she
didn’t want to be a “one-legged
dancer.”
Following retirement from the
stage, Mrs. Gee moved to Indianap
olis and turned her attentions to tea
ching ballet. During her stay in Indi
anapolis, she married her first
husband. Jack Broderick. Their
marriage soon ended.
Following the divorce, she mar
ried Howard Gee and they moved to
South America. During a stay in
Panama, she became director of bal
let at the National School of Dance
in Panama City.
She taught at the Panama school
for many years, producing profes
sional dancers every year.
The Panamanian government re
warded her in 1971 by giving her the
Order of Vasco Nunez de Balboa,
the highest civilian honor in Pan
ama. The government also gave her
locks to the Panama Canal.
She moved to Bryan in 1971 to
settle and begin teaching ballet here,
but Smith said she met a lot of trou
ble trying to establish a school.
“She had to fight for every space,”
Smith said. “Every year it was a real
search to find a place she could teach
ballet in. We would roam all over
town trying to find a place.”
Mrs. Gee taught four to five
classes a week, even when she was
being treated for cancer, Smith said.
“She was a rare genius in hen
she said. “She was a genius bea
her gift was so rare, not only:
dancer, but as a teacher, too."
Mrs. Gee donated a collectio:
personal items to the Bryan Pn
Library in 1973.
The collection includes pin
graphs of Dame Margot Fonti
Anna Pavlova, Anton Dolinand'
reyev, as well as letters and
award from the Panamanian
ernment.
Mrs. Gee was a strong and d;
plined woman to endure thei

failure of her first marriage and
pain of cancer, Smith said.
“Needless to say, she was a
markable woman,” she said.
