Kelley book
alleges Nancy
wooed Frankie
in White House
From staff and wire reports
Buyers have flooded America’s
bookstores to snap up Kitty Kelley’s
scathing pop biography of “petticoat
president” Nancy Reagan at $24.95 a
copy.
“We haven’t had this much inter-
est in a book since ‘Satanic Verses,’ ”
said a spokesperson at Lauriat’s
bookstore in Boston, referring to the
book that put author Salman
Rushdie on Iran’s hit list in 1989.
Sales in Beaumont, however, are
moving at a slower pace, a
spokesperson at Walden’s Book Store
in Parkdale Mall said.
At Doubleday’s Fifth Avenue
store in New York, people were wait-
ing in line when the store opened at
9 a.m. Monday, the first day of sales
for the book.
“There have been tons of people
flooding in,” a Doubleday employee
said. “We had to sell it out of the
boxes even before we could put up
our displays.”
B. Dalton bookstore manager
Debbie Knutson in Washington
reported selling 15 copies of the 30
books in stock in the first hour of
business, and a salesperson at anoth-
er B. Dalton branch said the phone
has been ringing constantly for infor-
mation about the book.
Simon & Schuster, publisher of
the 603-page book, printed a first
edition of 600,000 copies, an unusu-
ally large number for any book. It
also brought out a $15.95 audio tape
of the book with Kelley reading 180
minutes of it.
Excerpts from “Nancy Reagan:
The Unauthorized Biography” print-
ed by newspapers and reported on
television over the weekend stirred a
feverish interest in the book’s most
sensational aspects, particularly a
claim that the former First Lady car-
ried on a romance with Frank Sinatra
from 1970 through the White House
years,
The book, based on Kelley inter-
views with more than 1,000 Reagan
associates, goes far toward rewriting
the history of the Reagan era. It pic-
tures “Mrs. President” — as she was
known by the White House staff —
as much more of a power behind the
throne than previously reported.
She even passed on Ronald
Reagan’s agendas for meetings with
heads of state, including Soviet lead-
er Mikhail Gorbachev, the book
claims.
Asked to comment on the book
prior to attending church services
Sunday in Los Angeles, the former
president told KALC-TV: “I don’t
think a church would be the proper
place to use the words I would have
to use in discussing that.”
Nancy Reagan’s friends have said
she will not have any comment on
the book and has told them she will
not read it because “I pay no atten-
tion to these kind of books.”

Tech Arts ISA seeks members
By Clarence Driver
UP contributing writer
The Instrumentation Society of
America is looking to broaden its
membership of students eager to
form a solid future in instrumentation
careers.
The organization, based on the
Lamar University-Beaumont Tech-
nical Arts campus, is actually a subdi-
vision of the larger international
chapter of Beaumont.
According to Bonner Jones,
Instructor II, the goal of the group is
to promote information, education
and service in any instrumentation
fields that deal with measuring and
monitoring processes.
“We would like to make students
in fields of instrumentation aware of
the benefits that are available for
joining. The group has already pro-

vided three students from Beaumont
with scholarships for $1,000 each,”
Jones said.
He added that, since the group
here on our campus is part of a
nationwide organization, employ-
ment assistance and job placement
are almost certain.
“Over 300 members of the
Beaumont chapter already working
in various fields can be good contacts
and leads to find work now and after
college,” Jones said.
Other ways in which students can
benefit from the club’s activities are
by attending the national, regional
and local conventions and trade
shows and hearing guest speakers.
“At these events, students are
able to apply their concepts to new
inventions and techniques in various
fields of study,” Jones said.
Gerard Celestine, Beaumont
spSSSSaSHSBBHBHH
sophomore and chairman of recruit-
ment for the group, said, “That is ?
why we would like to attract students,,
from the main campus, also.”
“The ISA involves people in the
fields of electrical, chemical, industri- *
al and mechanical engineering and,
even falls into the field of physics. If^
we can get these students in the orga-
nization, then we can better prepare *
them for their future as well as ours,”»
he said.
Since the Lamar chapter began in
October, it has accumulated 53 mem-*
bers. Plans to start chapters on the*
Lamar-Orange and Port Arthur cam-
puses are in effect.
Anyone interested in joining'
should contact Celestine or Jones,,

pus.
