Although Texas A&M is celebrat ing its Centennial this year, the old est surviving campus structure is less than 70 years old.

The committee, which held its first meeting last night, hopes to get students interested and active in city politiis. Many residents have questioned a student’s right to get involved in local politics, said Jerri Ward, vice- president for external affairs. What they seem to forget, she said, is the impact students have on local matters in their four years here. Registered to vote here, students pay many local taxes and produce a great economic impact on the entire area. Students often insist that four years is too short a period to get in volved in the politics of the local community. Ward discounted this complaint by citing statistical information that shows that a family moves a average )or on spr; sumer of every three years. Also, increased involve* students in local politicscan|i! from more student input into Cote tion affairs, Ward noted. Thus far, no students havet WASHI! the upcoming city elections, said.
