Regents vote Jennings
TAMIU president
The Texas A&M University Sys
tem Board of Regents voted to offer
Dr. J. Charles Jennett, the position of
president of Texas A&M International
University (TAMIU) in Laredo. Jennett
is currently the provost and vice pres
ident for academic affairs at Clemson
University in South Carolina.
Chancellor Barry B. Thompson is

nett as soon as possible. If Jennett ac

DALLAS (AP) — A nearly 50-
year-old voluntary prohibition on
TV commercials for hard liquor is
on the rocks with a decision by
Seagram to advertise in Texas.
Seagram began this week a
month-long series of 30-second
Crown Royal whiskey commer
cials on an NBC station in
South Texas.
The ads are a first for a major
U.S. liquor company since the
Distilled Spirits Council of the
United States created a volun
tary ban in 1936 for radio and
1948 for television.
“We believe that distilled spir
its should be able to access adver
tising in a responsible way on
television and radio in the same
manner as beer and wine,”
Arthur Shapiro, Seagram execu
tive vice president of marketing
and strategy, said in a statement.
The advertising has never
been against any federal law.
More distillers may take to
the airwaves since sales of hard
liquor have been drying up. The
total number of cases sold fell
from 190 million in 1980 to 135
million last year, according to M.
Shanken Communications, a
New York publisher of industry
trade magazines.
Texas is one of the best mar
kets for Crown Royal which has
had increasing sales. Seagram
sold 1.8 million cases of Crown
Royal last year, up from 880,000
in 1980, according to M. Shanken
Communications.
“It seemed like a natural fit,”
Gove said.
In the ad currently running
nightly on KRIS between 9 p.m.
and 10 p.m., a doberman puppy
enters carrying an obedience
school diploma. A second puppy
enters carrying a bottle of Crown
Royal as the voice over says
“V aledictorian. ”
No complaints have surfaced.
Mothers Against Drunk Dri
ving, based in Irving, Texas, is
waiting to see what the adver
tising portrays before making
any waves.
“We have not yet taken a stand
that says the alcohol industry
should not advertise, but we havt
said they should be careful in how
they do it,” said national presi
dent Katherine Prescott.
Seagram’s decision caused £
stir in Washington.
“There’s been sort of a com
pact between the governmen!
and the liquor industry ovei
time, that has led to this volun
tary ban,” said Steve Jenning
an aide to Sen. Ron Wyden, D
Ore. “I guess that social contrad
is now busted — too bad.”
Bonnie Jansen, a spokes
woman for the Federal Trad(
Commission, which monitors ads
truthfulness, said: “The agency is
watching, and we will hold thos<
advertisers to the same standarc
that applies to everyone — thai
the ads are not deceptive.”
The Food and Drug Adminis
tration, which is pushing to regu
late tobacco ads targeted at younj
people, had no comment, saic
spokesman Jim O’Hara.
Federal law currently bam
TV ads for smokeless tobacci
and cigarettes.

Goodbye, Senator Dole
The former Senate maj’ority leader looks to the White House
“It’s been a great ride, a few bumps along the way. ”
BOB DOLE, retired Senate majority leadei
WASHINGTON (AP) — He
took one lingering look back in
time. Then he moved on.
With a final wave, Bob Dole
strode out the golden-edged
doors of the Senate chamber one
last time as a legislator Tuesday
and into a new public life.
Moving from thunderous applause on the Sen
ate steps to the buzz of phones in a no-frills cam
paign headquarters, Dole began in earnest his
campaign for the presidency.
His valedictory speech was resolutely collegial
at this most political of times.
“The Bible tells us that to everything there is a
season,” he said with a long, choking pause. “I
think my season in the Senate is about to come to
an end.
“But the season before me makes this moment
far less the closing of one chapter than the opening
of another.”
After 35 years in Congress, he was still a “work
in progress,” as he called the Senate he loved and
the nation he wants to lead.
“It’s been a great ride,” he said, adding in claa
sic Dole fashion, “A few bumps along the way.”
As he worked the Senate halls, Dole utterei
not a word in his speech about the coming presi
dential election that jarred him loose from hi
Senate moorings.
Dole’s Senate work had become a burden in hi
uphill campaign against President Clinton. Thi
partisanship that had bogged him down evaporat
ed for his departure.
In suburban Los Angeles, Clinton saluted DoL
for his more than three decades in Congress.
“Even though I am about to begin a rather vig
orous campaign with Senator Dole, I would like ti
ask all of you, including those of you who are m;
supporters, to just take a moment and wish hin
well,” Clinton said to a community college crowd
“I think we ought to give him a hand.”
The two also talked by phone and wished eact
other well.
“We talked about things we’d done together,’
Dole said. r
