"How often does someone of her stature come here? The chance to see Margaret Thatcher is a one time shot at this university," she said. Thatcher will respond to questions previously submitted by audience members at the completion of her speech. Wiley members will choose what they believe are the five best questions from the audience. The au- / thors of the selected questions will be given two seats on the front row. In 1983, after the MSC's first foreign policy roundtable discussion, A&M graduates A.P. and James Wiley decided to provide the MSC with an en dowment that would help fund the lecture series. The Wiley Lecture Series is open to all students and accepts applications in the fall and spring se mesters. Along with the annual spring program, the organization sponsors smaller program symposiums that focus on foreign policy issues. To submit a question for Thatcher or for more in formation about Friday's program, contact the MSC Wiley Lecture Series at 845-1514. For ticket informa tion, contact the MSC Box Office at 845-1234. Shuttle Continued from Page 1 happy to carry the A&M medallion with him during the shuttle mission. "A&M is a well-recognized school and even while at Purdue, I knew and heard about it," he said. "I feel Purdue University is a mirror image to A&M, because like A&M, Purdue is a land grant school and is highly respected in agriculture, science, engineer ing and other areas." Although Scott thinks he would like to do some thing like his father, who has already been on three shuttle missions, he said space travel is really not for him. "Doing something like this is something you have to have from day one, and this is not my life dream," he said. "It has always been my father's dream." Jerry said the German-managed mission has sev eral purposes and is expected to be completed over nine to 10 days. "We have experiments focusing on the environ ment on earth and will try to map it in more detail than we have now," he said. "Also, experiments fo cusing on how human bodies, plants and small ani mals are affected by microgravity (zero gravity) will be conducted." Experimenting on the space environment will also be helpful in choosing building materials for fu ture spacecraft, he said. State courts refuse to halt execution THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HUNTSVILLE - Two stalf courts Monday refused to bloc! Texas officials from executing Dominican Republic man aftei midnight for killing a Houstonai mored truck guard during a rol> bery 12 years ago. Carlos Santana, 40, was set fot lethal injection early Tuesday fot gunning down guard Oliver Flo res during an unsuccessful at tempt to rob the truck of somt $1.1 million. Santana contended thedeatho his mother and loss of his jot prompted him to get involve the heist of the PurolatorAr mored Inc. van outside a Houstot department store April 21,1981. A state judge in Houston and the Texas Court of Criminal Ap peals both refused Monday to hall the execution, sending the matter to the federal courts. The U.S. Supreme Court la week refused to review the case. Santana's lawyers contended jurors were not allowed toconsid er that Santana had been abused as a child and that he had lived in great poverty. They also contended jury in structions were improper, his le gal help was incompetent and that he wasn't told at the time of his arrest that he could contacts Dominican Republic consulate. Santana's case attracted the at tention of government officials in the Dominican Republic, asked federal and Texas officials to intervene and spare Santanas life. A New York-based Committee to Save the Life of Carlos Santana sent more than 500 cards and let ters to Texas Gov. Ann Richards asking the execution be stopped Richards, however, has refused similar attempts in previous death penalty cases. "There's a whole lot going but maybe it's not enough," San tana said in an interview last week. "The courts seem to more interested in expediting exe cutions than in dispensing jus tice." Santana and an accomplice, James Meanes, were arrested shortly after the noontime rob bery and shooting, convicted and sentence^yto death. Meanes re mains on aeath row although he has no execution date. Flores was walking from truck to the department store when he was killed with a single shot that went through his arms and body. 4501 Wellborn Road 846-1816 Texas’ Original Drive-Thru Daiquiri Factory ■ Wednesday, March 24, Noon-11 p.m. AGGIE BASEBALL & SOFTBALL UPCOMING HOME GAMES Aggie Baseball home games at Olsen Field March 23 7 p.m. S.
