Gorbachev an opening in the world eco nomic community, but it doesn't provide the money or muscle to push him into more dramatic economic reforms. The proposal, put forward by President Bush last Decem ber and agreed to over the weekend by the other major industrialized democracies, would extend to the Soviets access to the fund's consider able technical expertise. And it acknowledges the Soviets as a partner in world economic af fairs, a status symbol Gorba chev has sought for years. The Soviet president is going to the annual economic summit of the world's wealth iest nations in London next month to appeal for help in fi nancing his reforms. Various estimates peg Soviet needs at about $30 billion right now, and some proposals call for spending perhaps $150 billion in the next five years. But the special status cre ated for the Soviets alone would prevent the IMF from loaning the Soviets any money. Rep. Ogden doesn't foresee tax increase Continued from page 1 said. "I looked at each of these carefully, to ensure the level of service offered to students was not damaged." Ogden said he was especially interested in making sure stu dents' rights were protected, and he would look at the fee in creases in conjunction with pro posed tuition and tax increases. "We have to make sure we don't drive people out of school," he said. "All those fees, as well as tuition, end up being paid with the same check. As a result, I don't expect to see a huge tax increase alongside a tu ition increase.' However, Ogden said he re mains optimistic about Ate future. "There have been a lot doom and gloom stories go; around, but two things keep; optimistic," he said. "First,; state's financial situation isn f as severe as we keep heart The state is running a surpf: and revenues are 12 perct ahead of where they wereb years ago. i‘&-\ "Second, the University ha; very good reputation aroundfq state," Ogden continued. 'T people of Texas see A&Ma; good investment and an asset the long run, they will notde; erately damage the Univer; and I belive we won't neec huge tax increase."

We couldn't wait to have 63 tons of steel around us in case of a Scud Missile attack, since the port was an obvious strategic tar get. We didn't trust the Patriot Missiles down the road either because they had never been tested against another missile. Several of us put on our gas masks, expecting a Scud attack as warned previously. Then came the cheers of "Happy New as definitely 11 Year, '91!" This was going to be a different year for a of us. As the paint dried on our vehi cles, we returned to the ware house to find more gigantic cargo ships unloading combat vehicles, artillery shells and other munitions and various mil itary supplies. We lived at the port for three weeks, but we happily drove our tanks off a RO-RO (roll on-roll off) ship on day 10. Unfortu nately, we weren't allowed to live on our iron beasts until they Marine patrol boats kept a constant, watchful eye over the whole operation. The British "Desert Rats" tank regiment was moving their Challenger II tanks and Gazelle helicopters out of port at this time as well.
