West offers Soviets
IMF membership
WASHINGTON (AP) —The
West's offer of limited Soviet
membership in the Interna
tional Monetary Fund gives
Mikhail S. 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

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."

Desert Storm veteran
describes arrival at gulf
Continued from page 1
of Jubail, where we set up cots in
a shipping warehouse that had a
beautiful back-door view of the
Persian Gulf. We anxiously
crawled into our sleeping bags to
sleep off our jetlag but were ru
dely awakened at midnight by
the roaring horns of the ships in
dock.
were painted sand brown.
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

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.
