Chairmanship search
draws two to campus
By LIBBY McMAHON
Staff Writer
Two applicants for the position of biological sci-
ences department chairman will visit NT during De-
cember, Dr. Thomas Preston, dean of the College
of Arts and Sciences, said Wednesday.
Dr. David Seigler, assistant head of the plant bi-
ology department at the University of Illinois at
Urbana, will visit NT Dec. 5 and 6. Siegler said he
was invited to apply for the position almost a year
ago.
"It (NT) is an up-and-coming university," Seigler
said. "The powers that be at the university seem to
want to build some really fine programs, and this
seems like an opportunity to participate in that."
Dr. Robert Zsigray, chairman of the microbiology
department at the University of New Hampshire, will
visit NT Dec. 8 and 9. Zsigray was unavailable for
comment Wednesday.
Preston said the two applicants were chosen from
a group of applicants who had applied for the posi-
tion when it was first made available. "When the
first deadline was met, we had several applicants
who had not completed their files," Preston said.
"When we opened up the search again, they were
asked if they would like to complete their
applications."
Dr. Earl G. Zimmerman, biological science fac-
ulty member and search committee member, said the
applicants will spend time meeting administrators and
faculty members.
Zimmerman said the applicants are scheduled for
two interviews with Preston; an interview with the
vice president for academic affairs, Dr. Robert
Toulouse; ii. ;rviews with the graduate dean, Dr Hugh
Kirkpatrick, and the director of research, Dr. Peter
Witt; a meeting with faculty groups in the biological
sciences department; a tour of the Texas College of
Osteopathic Medicine; and a meeting with all the
department's faculty members.
Other search committee members are: Dr. Alan
Marchand of the department of chemistry, Dr. Rollie
Schafer, Dr. Andrew Stephen Kester and Dr. Thomas
Beitinger of the biological sciences department; Dr.
Peter Gunter of the philosophy department; Dr. Floyd
McDaniel of the physics department; and Dr. Gary
Wise of TCOM faculty.
Armey outlines his political goals
By TONYA McMURRAY
Daily Reporter
Dr. Richard Armey of the economics
faculty announced his candidacy for the
House of Representatives' 26th Congres-
sional scat Wednesday at a press confer-
ence at the Denton Holiday Inn.
Armey will seek the Republican nom-
ination for the Congressional seat,
currently held by Tom Vandergriff,
D- Arlington.
Armey said he will probably continue
teaching at NT during his campaign, but
that his campaign will not take away from
his teaching responsibilities.
"I will do the best I can to fulfulI my
obligation to the university." he said.
"The university will continue to get
what they have always gotten from me—a
dollar's worth of value for every dollar's
worth of salary it pays me."
Armey said he supports President
Reagan's policies and said if elected he
will help to carry out those policies.
Armey said Reagan's economic poli-
cies have already began to work.
"Inflation has dropped from 12.5 per-
cent to 2.9 percent. The prime interest
rate has fallen from 21.5 percent to II
percent. Even unemployment has con-
founded the experts by beginning a def-
inite downward trend much earlier than
expected," he said.
Armey said he believes this trend will
continue through 1984.
"This new economic upswing can ei-
ther be one of sustained growth and op-
portunity or a short lived boom.
"Washington has too many naysayers,
self-proclaimed social engineers, pol-
iticians w ho can't put their finger on the
problems because they always have it in
the wind.
"We need experts in facts and ideas
to lead. It is with this purpose that I an-
nounce my candidacy," Armey said.
Armey said he favors budget cuts and
deregulation of the economy.
"No economy, not even one as rich in
resources as America, can be expected to
be healthy under the burden of an op-
pressive, complicated tax system and an
$8(H) billion federal budget." he said.
Another major issue facing the United
States is foreign policy, Armey said.
Armey said he favors a strong military
to deter the Soviet Union.
"It is a simple fact of history that coun-
tries who squander their resources to the
point of the collapse of their economic
structure will cventualy be forced to take
from others by force.
"If the Soviets believe the United States
will not respond to protect our interest
in the free world, then their actions are
much more likely to lead to world mili-
tary conflict," he said.
Armey said the 26th Congressional dis-
trict is a Republican stronghold and he
is confident he can win the Congressional
seat.
Armey was asked to run earlier this
year by what he calls "the real leaders"
of the Republican Women. Since that time
other party member; have encouraged him
to run.
Armey said as far as he knows he is
the only candidate for the Republican
nomination.
Armey has been a member of the eco-
nomics faculty since the fall of 1972 and
as chairman of the economics department
from 1977 to August 1983.
Armey has never held a political office
before but said this may actually be one
of his good points. "I haven't learned
any bad tricks," he said.
Armey said if he is elected, he will
not be pressured by any special interest
groups or by other congressmen.
He said the first thing he will tell his
fellow Congressmen if he is elected is,
"I am from Texas, and in Texas we don't
polish our boots very often, but we never
polish anyone else's."

International students light up program
International students will add cultural flavor
to the Christmas tree lighting ceremony at 6 p.m.
today on the Willis Library Mall.
Four international students will make Christmas

Lebanese
criticize
U.S. policy
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP)—Six months after the troop
withdraw! agreement between Israel and Lebanon was
signed, the Reagan administration's single foreign pol
icy "success" in the Middle East this year has become
an obstacle in attempts to end the blood shed in Lebanon.
"We are at an impasse," said one senior Lebanese
official last week "We negotiated the agreement in
good faith and with good intentions, but it cannot be
implemented in its present form."
The May 17 agreement provides for an Israeli troop
withdrawl from Lebanon if Syrian forces also leave.
So far, they have not.
Lebanese President Amin Gcmaycl meets Thursday
with President Reagan in Washington, and it is expected
that Gcmaycl will plead for modifications in the
agreement.
Gcmaycl is hoping that the new U.S. chief Middle
East negotiator, Donald Rumsfeld, has come up with
some new ideas on his just-completed swing around
the region, and that Reagan can be persuaded that some
accommodation with Syria is essential.
uatc student, will make a wish in Chinese; Eric Ashun,
Ghana senior, will make a wish in his native lan-
guage; and Marlina Gonzalez, Philippines graduate
student, will make a wish in Filipino.
NT President A1 Hurley will officially light the
18-foot tree, decorated with red and white ribbons
and lights, said Greg Jones, UPC special events com-
mittee chairman.
"Staff, students, faculty, families and friends of
the NT community are invited, " Jones said.
Christmas caroling will be led by the NT
Faculty/Staff Choir, directed by Frank McKinley, a
former music faculty member.
At 6:30 p.m., the program will move into the Uni-
versity Union Courtyard for more caroling and a per-
formance by the NT Brass Quartet. UPC has put a
Christmas tree in the Union Courtyard, Jones said,
Santa Claus will make a visit, and free hot apple
cider, hot chocolate and cookies will be served in
the Union Courtyard.
