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.”
