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.”

Lecture sheds light on 'spiritual' psychology ► wi^ts up?
I ornJ S Mrmrluv

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.”
