BIT; Hill UOYP Corps Continued from page 1 a University directives and to ensure orderliness in hall and room appearance, Mills said. “This act does not infringe on the students’ rights,” he said. “Membership in the Corps of Cadets is voluntary.” In joining the Corps, cadets voluntarily agree not only to abide by the requirements of the University’s rules for stu dents, but policies and proce dures for the operation of the Corps contained in The Standard, Mills said. While there is no drug testing of cadets, he said, inspections of stu dent living quarters have been per formed since 1876. “Although we cannot say con clusively that detection dogs have never been used in the Corps dorms, this is certainly the first time in recent memory that they have been used,” Mills said. The senior cadet member said Col. This act does not infringe on the students’ rights. Membership in the Corps of Cadets is r , » voluntary. dogs were used to ensure compliance with the Corps’ zero tolerance policy regarding drugs and alcohol, as well as University policies against possession of explosives such as fire works, firearms, ammunition and similar items, Mills said. Inspections are run periodically throughout the school year. This time, inspections took place in Dorm 6 and part of Dorm 8, the cadet said. “Inspections conducted to ensure compliance are a traditional feature of military life and are a fixture of all militaries everywhere,” Mills said. Students who are found to be in violation of Corps or University rules are subject to Corps or University disciplinary sanctions, or both. The results of the search brought up no serious findings, Mills said. Texas A&M funds the service upon receipt of a properly completed invoice from the service provider, the Financial Management Services Office. The University issues a check for payment using funds from a departmental account designated by an event when he visited Detro; Mich., where he was refemdi: as the “former dictator i| Canada” by airport personnel. He spoke of Canada’s relaii# ship with America, specific! with the Canadian-U.S, Frtf Trade Agreement that laij spawned the North Atlantic Frs Trade Agreement betwe# Canada, Mexico and the Unit States. “Trade between Canada» the United States generates billion,” Mulroney said. In regards to the Mexico to the Free Tat Agreement, Mulroney e sized the improvemenl t Mexico’s economy. “Mexico’s economy is or twelfth of Japan’s,” said. “Yet, it beat out Japan fe being the second highest partner with the U.S.” Mulroney also said he w concerned with the state of inlet' national security. He spoke o! Sept. 11, 2001, saying it was day that affected the entire civ lized world. “The appalling atrocities of September 11 must be seen declaration of war, not just« America but on all civilized pea pie,” Mulroney said. The goal of the govemiK should be to ensure that some thing like this never happen again, Mulroney said. “The president of the UnileJ States must take whatever actioo is required to protect Americ from attack so it will not be said of him 50 years from he was asleep at the switch duriiis a critical time in history,” he saii He also urged the important! of keeping good relations will other countries. “America greatly needs intei national allies, now more thi ever,” Mulroney said. He advised the United Stales to become involved with allies that would inform the count] when its actions were strand; opposed elsewhere. He also emphasized the importance of supporting current Preskto Bush’s plan to maintain i improve the state of the nation. “Democracies have limited stay power,” Mulroney said. “America is becoming a lonely super power, frustrated and relui tant. We should not give up on Bush’s roadmap to peace.” The announcement of the con solidation of Canada’s two con servative parties would pusli Canada toward more conser vatism, Mulroney said. He was the former leader of the Progressive Conservative Party. “I don’t know whether they'll win the next election and 1 doni much care,” Mulroney said, “1 with this step they will win election in the future.” — Maj.
