Page 6 The Battalion Tuesday, April 21,13! \ CIA continues to recruit foreigners WASHINGTON (AP) - The 35 men and women listened tensely as the CIA recruiter told them they would be working secretly overseas getting foreigners to spy for the United States. “I don't want to scare you off. You've got to understand what you're buying into," the recruiter said. The group was invited to the session in a northern Virginia of fice building after responding to a classified ad. A few will survive the rigorous selection among the growing number of applicants who send resumes to the CIA each year. Those who make it will find that despite the radical changes wrought by the Soviet Union's demise, their jobs will have much in common with the espionage practiced in the heyday of the Cold War. In fact the methods, to hear re cruiter Bob Simpson describe them, sound like a page taken from John Le Carr6. The 18-month training, said the Washington area's chief recruiter, will include surveillance tech niques, safe houses, encryption and agent meetings. Trainees will then receive a specific assignment, learning about the country and the cases. "Then when you're ready, you'll pack up your household and go overseas," said Simpson, a 30-year agency veteran. Abroad, CIA case officers lead a double life. By day, embassy clerks or diplomats. By night, spymasters. It's called "cover," Simpson ex plained. Only your spouse and agency colleagues will know that you re ally work for the CIA and not for the State or Defense departments as you say you do, he said.

Each family will have an individual greeter to show them around campus, guide them to their seats at Muster Ceremony and answer any questions they may have. The host and reception subcommittee also obtains gifts for each family in early fall. This year, the family gift is a brass candle holder engraved with "Aggie Muster." The gifts were do nated by Pier 1 Imports. "People (family members) are just so amazei!! the ceremony that most of them really try toatta; said co-subchairwoman Meredith Minnick. “Ik really honored to know that other peoplclm thought about it." In addition, public awareness effortsbeeanft first week in April with tables in Blocker, Zachiyu the MSC. Fivers and "pass it on" cards havebeaic dilating around campus to promote the event, With Muster Ceremony coming to a dose! evening, the committee can finally sit back,rela\ari: enjoy the fruits of their labor. Course cuts will affect majors, graduates Continued from Page 1 "If we went to the worst-case scenario, what would happen is we'd lose a lot of seats (in Engl 104 and Engl 301)," he said. "The fewest losses would be in the ser vice courses, but it would still have an impact. The majors and graduates (in English) would be affected the most, especially in the sophomore surveys." The cause of the problem is lack of money for all colleges. Mitchell said, however, the prob lem is even worse in liberal arts. "The College of Liberal Arts is in particularly bad shape because it does more of the teaching — es pecially in the core curriculum — than most of the other colleges," he said. "There's more demand for our (liberal arts) courses — and that's true for the English de partment — and yet there's less funding available." Much of the money problem for liberal arts and the English de partment comes from the fact that they are responsible for providing the funds to teach students in oth er majors, unlike other universi ties in Texas. "All courses are paid for by the College of Liberal Arts," Mitchell said. "We are the only institution in the state of Texas in which all the teaching of freshman English and technical writing is done by the Department of English. "In many other institutions its done in engineering writing cen ters or business writing centers, which are funded by those col leges, although staffed by people from English," Mitchell said. "That means when the money crunch comes, we are particularly hard hit." Dr. Margaret Sokolik, a profes sor in the English department, agrees. "We have nothing else to cut," she said. "We've cut a number of lecturers. The euphemism is they have failed to be rehired — they've been fired." Sokolik said faculty in the English department must supply their own materials, including paper, pens and pencils. "What's left to cut?" she asked. "It's really hard to find things to cut to pay for summer school.The worst-case scenario is that there could be very little offered this summer and the courses students have already enrolled in could get cut. Although there are classes in the books, those classes could still be in danger if things don't change." Mitchell said he hopes other options can be found. "We're very reluctant to do that (cut further courses) because we're already offering a bare- bones summer program as it is." However, the department has already made significant cuts in graduate courses. If further cuts are made, the undergraduate pro gram would be seriously affected, Mitchell said. "We've had to cut back in the graduate courses, which cuts back in the undergraduate sections we can offer. Right now we're almost at the point of no return. If we go any further, and that's what we're talking about, we'd have to cut the rest of the graduate courses (for the summer) and then we'd have to pull the courses graduates teach — the 104s and 301s." Mitchell said he teofedit plan to theTSollege of Literal Aitj that may alleviate the proUem. "I have a plan in withlheco! lege which offers an altemath : that I delivered today (Monday) he said. "It offers analtemativ i which wouldn't necessitatetti (cutting course offerings).It'si the hands of the college. Fracas tiously optimistic that weft work something out." Mitchell declined to comm on the plan until college official had time to review it. Char’s Johnson and Woodrow Jones,a; sistant liberal arts deans, wereu available for comment. Mitchell said, however,tin even if courses are notaffecH this summer, the situation* eventually come to a head. "Even if we keep everyth! we've got a problem," he sail "We're going to have a problem: the summer and a bigger prohfe in the fall. "There's 6,300 studentscomi 1 in the fall," he said. "Rightnf we have seats for maybe 2,(If English 104). Even if we movt up the classes' sizes, it would on 1 allow four hundred moiestt dents. That's the real crunch do the road." Solonik said she feels that no 1 is the time to face the problem. "The time for optimismli passed," she said. "It's time: start seriously looking at thep»| lem instead of just hoping it* just work out. It could belli! things are cut back so much that 1 would still affect a lot of studet* who need to get in their Engl® credits for graduation at thee^ of the summer."
