Besday, September 4, 1973 College Station, Texas SHU Page 1L THE BATTALION New A&M YP Gets Involved Dr. John Koldus is not just aying what he is going to do on impus but has already involved mself with students and their Ifairs. |Koldus, the new vice president jr student services, has spent s first two weeks attending jch functions as fish camp, stu nt leadership camp, command ’s retreat, Resident Hall adviser jrkshop and the Memorial Stu- ent Center leadership picnic. T’ve tried to meet as many leople and students as possible,” laid Koldls. “Pm most interested H communication for I feel that is the key to understanding.” JThe new vice presdent’s posi tion was created in conjunction with the retirement of Dean of fiudents James P. Hannigan A ; '- 31 and at the suggestion of Re Southern Association of Col- fces and Schools’ visitation com- nittee. SACS also advanced the lea that the student services of le Counseling and Testing Cen- Er, Student Financial Aid and Placement be transferred to the ■partment of Student Personnel under Koldus. (“The purpose of this newly Heated office is to give it the Hiportance it should have,” con tinued Koldus. SACS suggested ■tting all student affairs to other under the wing of the vice president.” One of Koldus’ duties is pro- ling student services when the arises at a minimal cost to e students. This includes any ed outside of the academic area ch as housing, entertainment d protection. Koldus will have an advisory relationship with the Student Government and has set up week ly luncheons with student leader ship to discuss the problems and needs on campus. The first association Koldus had with Aggies was at a 1952 summer camp at Ft. Sill, Okla., which many cadets attended. “I wouldn’t have come if I hadn’t thought A&M was a great place to begin with,” remarked Koldus. “The possibility of cre ating a student personal services program is greater here than at East Texas State University where I served several years. “Of course in all practicality one has to consider the salary and the opportunities which lie ahead when one changes jobs,” said Koldus in reference to his move here from ETSU. Koldus served as vice president for student affairs and dean of students at ETSU since 1967 where he had been a faculty member since 1963. Prior to his association with ETSU, Dr. Koldus was an in structor at the University of Arkansas and earlier taught and coached in high schools in both Texas and Arkansas. A native of Gary, Ind., he received his undergraduate de gree at Arkansas State Uni versity of Arkansas. In 1971 he received the ETSU student government’s award for “distinguished service to stu dents” and the J. Mason Brewer Award for “outstanding contri butions to humanity.” Koldus said his office is always open to any one needing his help, no matter what the problem. Williams Sees A&M As No. 1 President Jack K. Williams yes- irday predicted A&M’s football fortunes are on the upswing and the student body is No. 1. during a talk at All University Night. Following a disappointing year, Williams predicted great things for the coming season before a fair-sized crowd in G. Rollie White Coliseum. Emory Bellard was on hand to introduce the football team and to ask for student support until the team had a chance to prove itself on Sept. 15 against Wichita State. Bellard said the team faced a “heck of a challenge” the com ing season but that the players had a burning desire to compete and felt a great deal of responsi bility to the student body. Bellard said that he does not go along with the “we are be hind you win or lose attitude.” He simply said “let’s get on with winning.” In his introductory speech, Williams announced a record en rollment of 18,000 students, 2,000 more than ever before. With three major buildings under construc tion and A&M’s 100th anniver sary next year, A&M students have a lot to be proud of, he add ed.
