Monday »Apn!! Gramm discusses impact of Army proposal on Corpj Proposal would end priority assignment of graduates from Texas A&M By Joey Jeanette Schlueter The Battalion U.S. Senator Phil Gramm visited Texas A&M Friday along with U.S. Rep. Kevin Brady to address a recent Army proposal which would end preference in assigning graduates of senior military colleges, such as A&M, to active duty. The press conference, attended by about 80 cadets, took place in the Sam Houston Sanders Corps of Cadets Cen ter Friday. If passed, the Army proposal would discontinue priority assignment to ac tive duty of graduates of the six senior military colleges. Gramm said the proposal by the As sistant Secretary for Manpower and Re serve has no foundation. “She is proposing that we eliminate special status of the single military col leges of America,” Gramm said. “She wants a level playing surface where everybody in every college in America is considered equal for commission.” Gramm said equal commission lacks consideration for the amount of training involved. “We are never going to accept the premise that someone wearing a uni form one day a week for an hour is re ceiving equivalent training to someone who is seven days a week, 24 hours a day in the Corps at Texas A&M University,” he said. “I don’t believe the military is for everybody. I think it takes a unique per son who wants to be part of the military.” Gramm said the solution to the problem is not to reduce leadership forces, but to eliminate smaller ROTC programs with lower stan dards and less support. Brady said he also opposes equal as signment for active duty. “Washington doesn’t get it,” he said. “They don’t get the tradition, the unique dedication for the unpar alleled spirit of the Corps of Cadets. I intend to give it to them.” Brady thinks the proposal will be a detriment to America and its military service. He urged cadets to support Gramm on the issue. Corps Commander Stephen Fos ter, a senior political science major, highlighted the history of the Corps at A&M and stressed the signifi cance of leadership skills embed ded in the cadets. “It’s the training that we received here in the Corps that has aided us and kept us leaders in our nation’s military forces for over a hundred years,” Foster said. Gramm concluded the conference by showing his support for military leadership. He said when the bill comes to his desk’, he will veto it. “Unless I die, this is not going to happen,” he said. “And I am feeling very healthy.” 1 Rogge Heflin, TmEr U.S. Senator Phil Gramm speaks at a press conference] about a proposal to discontinue priority assignment to actEe] Lecture sheds light on 'spiritual' psychology ► wi^ts up? I ornJ S Mrmrluv By Mandy Cater The Battalion Snakes and lion-headed deities: To most people these sound like creatures from a sci ence fiction novel or a Greek myth, but they were topics of discussion this weekend at the 7th Annual Fay Lecture Series in Analytical Psychology. Author and lecturer Dr. Murray Stein was this year’s featured speaker. His lecture, “Transforming Persons,” focused on the applica tion of analytical psychology to in dividual transformation. The mes sage of the lecture series was, ‘All of us can change for the better.” Analytical psychology is based on the teachings of Carl G. Jung. Stein, vice president of the International Association “People, especially young people, are hungry for spiritual direction.” Dr. David Rosen Chair, Frank McMillan Endowed Professorship in Analytical Psychology for Analytical (Jungian) Psy chology, explained that “Jun gian psychology is the attempt to understand the human per sonality, conscious and uncon scious, and apply that under standing to healing.” Dr. David Rosen, chair of the Frank McMillan Endowed Pro fessorship in Analytical Psy chology, said he sees Jung’s ideas as relevant in today’s soci ety. Rosen said Jungian psychol ogy is a “spiritual psychology.” “People, especially young people, are hungry for spiritual direction,” he said. Stein said he feels Jung’s em phasis on the importance of transformation is timely as we “move to the 21stcentury and a whole new society.” Jean Cameron-Trezeciakowski is a member of the Jungian Soci ety of the Brazos Valley, a local ed ucational organization attempt ing to spread Jung’s ideas through workshops and lectures. She said the Fay Lecture Series is a way to meet lecturers who would other wise be too expensive for small communities to see. The Fay Lecture Series is made possible by an endow ment from Ernest and Carolyn Fay. It is an annual event whose lectures are published by the Texas A&M University Press. Carolyn Fay said the plain goal of the endowment is to “get the best people in the Jun gian field.” Monday Men’s Lacrosse Club: There will be a prac tice session from 4-6 p.m. at the Zachry Fields.
