When (ien. Henry H.
Shelton. Chairman of the
[Inited States Joint Chiefs
of Staff. visited Lexington
Friday to speak at UK. 700
people listened.

Shelton. the principal
tnilitary adviser to the pres-
ident. Secretary of Defense
and the National Security
Council. was invited by the
Patterson School of Diplor
tnacy and liiternational
Commerce to talk to UK stu
dents about "Force. l)iplo<
tnacy and National Security."

His 30-minute speech
covered the importance of
diplomacy and of the US
military. as well as when
the use of force in interna-
tional affairs is appropriate.
He stressed that it was im-
portant for people to under
stand the rationale behind

"The use of force is the
most important decision
our nation can make." Shel
ton said. Such decisions of
great consequence had to be
made by citizens, he said.

“The role of the mill»
tary is to tight and win the
nation‘s wars." Shelton
said. [.‘uS. military opera
tiotis abroad required sup
port frotn l' S. citizens and
Congress. he said.

Shelton said that many
questions were usually con
sidered before making a de-
cision on air operation. but
despite that. any military
operation abroad was going
to face sortie opposition at
home.

“The military is a very
powerful hammer. but not
every probletn can be faced
as a nation as a nail." Shel
ton said. "We need to make
the decisions based on our
understanding of what is

Tragedy brings students together

By Matt Loftis

THE BATTALION (TEXAS AEM)

COLLEGE STATION. Texas

Mark Micer. a junior mech'

' tal engineering major. woke up

early Thursday morning to phone calls from his grandparents. parents and several others. Every-
one wanted to knowthat he was OK and had not been hurt during the collapse of annual Texas

A&M University bonﬁre. “It‘s really just shocking." Micer said. "It‘s unexpected."

Micer‘s experience was common at Texas A&i\l 'I‘hursday morning after the nearly-finished
Bonﬁre collapsed killing students and injuring many others.
Parents. relatives and friends clogged telephone lines shortly after dawn with their hurried
calls to locate students.
The rescue work began early ’I‘hursday morning. and after the initial amazement had some-
what faded. the student body was forced to consider other questions.
Any doubt over the student body's ability to cope was met quickly. ’I‘hursday morning. stu-
dents turned out at the Polo Fields before sunrise to help move logs that were trapping Aggies and
prepare for larger-scale memorial services for the victims of the accident. A television was set up
in the MSC I‘lagroom. anti students sat and watched the rescue efforts together with others con-
cerned with the progress.
Angela Pena. a sophomore biomedical science major. said the good part ofthe whole thing was
seeing the Aggie spirit as everyone helped one another.
“I think just by (the students) coming together. we are getting past this." said Pena. “I see a lot
of people comforting each other."

Shawn Allen Berry, 24, right, on trial for his part in the dragging
death of James Byrd Jr., stands as he is sentenced to life in
prison, while his fiance Christie Marcontell holds his hand Thursday
in Jasper, Texas. Berry, who insisted he was just a frightened
bystander, was sentenced to life in prison for one of the nation's
grisliest racial crimes since the civil rights era. Berry's room-
mates, avowed white supremacists John William Iting, 25. and
Lawrence Russell Brewer, 32, were sentenced to die in separate

trials earlier this year.
