their workings with the construction
companies.
Do you advocate line item
budgets or program budgets? Why
and what are the advantages of your
choice for students?
I’d say that you’d really want both.
More and more perhaps, you’d want
to use line item. But then you’d want
a miscellaneous fund for new things
that were implemented. So there
fore you’d need an interplay of both
of them.
What are the problems surround
ing the user fee approach to student
funding as opposed to the lump sum
method now used?
Right now we can project how
much money we have coming in and
we’re assured to receive it. So we can
make projections for expanding. The
problem with that is that some
people who are not benefiting at all
are still paying for it. Opposed to the
user fee, it would be extremely dif
ficult to know how much money we
have coming in. Based on commis
sion I think that we should go toward
the user fee where it’s practicable,
but I don’t want to go to the point
where it’d be hurting the majority of
the people.
Should the business concerns in
the MSC be under the jurisdiction
of the University Center Board of
the directorate of the MSC Directo
rate and Council?
I think the MSC Directorate and
Council should have more participa
tion since it is extremely student
oriented. I don’t think it’s feasible to
have total student control. They
don’t have time.
How should the money from the
president’s concession fund be
used? Why?
I would like to see a vast majority
of it go toward student activities.
Money from this could be channeled
into purchasing ice machines for the
dorms. This would benefit students
extremely as would more change
machines on campus be helpful. I
think there’s something we should
do for off-campus students, too. I’d
like to see a lot of it put into some
free student activities or a special
fund for students.
Yell leaders
(Continued from Page 5)
Would you accept a women’s
spirit committee? What activities
would you have it perform?
No, not at A&M. I don’t want to
sound biased or prejudiced or any
thing but the spirit A&M has some
thing but the spirit at A&M has
something for everybody, men and
women included. I get the impres
sion of a pep squad or something
and I may be too closed-minded but
I can’t see that at A&M.
John Barnes
What are your qualifications for
the office and why do you want it?
I’m a sophomore, my GPR is
above 2.5. The reason I want it is
kind of funny the way it came about.
So many tell me “wish we could get
us a civilian that we can identify
with.” That’s important because
many people are alienated. Condi
tions here at A&M dictate you have
to be in the corps or at least look like
it to get into these things. If I could
get on there I could show there is
another faction who wants to keep
the spirit and traditions of A&M go
ing.
Would you accept a women’s
spirit committee? What activities
would you have it perform?
That’s a very interesting question
if it were any other school I’d say yes.
I’m not sure. Most alumni would not
like it and politically it might not be a
very smart move. I don’t think the
majority of people would go for it. It
would be interesting.
Tim Macmanus
What are your qualifications for
the office and why do you want it?
I feel like God has motivated me in
my life to run. I just want to get out
and try to motivate people.
Would you accept a women’s
spirit committee? What activities
would you have it perform?
If we want to survive as a different
school we have got to work to keep
ourselves different. Each person can
getas involved in spirit as much as he
wants. It’s an individual thing.
SUSAN RUDD
(Continued from Paged)
tion which doesn’t give the offending
candidate an apparent advantage
over his opponents shouldn’t merit
disqualification. The J-Board should
be given more freedom in judging
the degree of violation and punish
ment.
What is the major problem with
the present rules and regulations?
How would you solve it?
I don’t think there is a major prob
lem. I think they (the rules and regs)
have proven themselves as a whole
to be functional, reasonable and just
committee.
What do you feel about the “Aggie
Code of Honor?” Why?
The Aggie Code of Honor is a way
of life and it would be nice if it were
practiced. Sadly, I think it’s obso
lete; not outdated, just obsolete.
Most students are too oriented to
mere survival today to bother them
selves with codes of honor. If all the
people here really belonged in a uni
versity, things like honor codes
would be resurrected.
What kind of requirements
should be set for elected student
representatives? Why?
I like the policy we have now —
2.25 for senators and class officers,
2.5 for Exec committee and yell
leaders, with no conduct probation.
There is at least an indirect correla
tion between grade point and overall
competency as a person.
Should the Board of Regents have
“the last say” on most campus poli
cy? Why or why not?
The Board of Regents is designed
to run the University in terms of fu
ture planning and management.
Campus policy changes all the time.
I don’t want to see tbe Board of Re
gents react to every little crisis on
campus. The students (through Stu
dent Government) and the administ
ration working together should
handle campus policy.
Should students take more in
terest in staff and faculty regula
tion? Why or why not?
More interest but not more in
volvement, per se. There are few
stude'nts who are knowledgeable
enough on running a university fa
culty to play a major role in regula
tion. I think student input is essen
tial, but I think that students should
be more involved with other things
that they can work more effectively
with.
James Gaidry
What are your qualifications for
the office and why do you want it?
I’m an Aggie and I came to A&M
mainly for the corps, the spirit and
the traditions. I want to keep these
traditions alive as much as possible.
Would you accept a women’s
spirit committee? What activities
would you have it perform?
Yes, I think women would have a
place in helping Aggie Spirit. I ha
ven’t given much thought as to their
duties. They could paint signs.
Joe Reagan
What are your qualifications for
the office and why do you want it?
I’m overflowing with spirit and
I’m the type of individual who can
motivate people. I’m athletic cor
poral for 1-1. I’d like to change some
things as yell leader, like meeting a
lot of people and changing the
animosity between military and civi
lian.
Would you accept a women’s
spirit committee? What activities
would you have it perform?
Shoot yeah, I’d accept them. Dif
ferent heads from different dorms
like RAs. Get them organized and
talk up yell practices, have them
make signs, spirit signs on the dorm
and things like that.
Doug Fogle
What are your qualifications for
the office and why do you want it?
I think to be a yell leader a per
son’s got to have a personal en
thusiasm and spirit within him so he
can contribute to the school and try
to build up school enthusiasm and
spirit. He has to be a leader who can
deal with other people and get other
people motivated.
Would you accept a women’s
spirit committee? What activities
would you have it perform?
Yes, I think some kind of organiza
tion like this could be helpful. One
thing that kind of goes along with this
is the Diamond Darlings for the
baseball team. Something organized
along that basis for each of the sports
and have it so more girls can get into
it. Working with the yell leaders it
could be real helpful. A lot of people
say it’s the yell leaders duty to or
ganize school spirit but if we could
have support from another organiza
tion, like a girl’s organization, we
could reach a lot more people.
We’ve got to work extra hard now
because the enrollment is a lot big
ger and since the school is larger

there is a tendency to lose unity. If
we had a broader reach we’d be a lot
more unified.
Bill Fisk
What are your qualifications for
the office and why do you want it?
Well, I believe my qualifications
for this office are that I feel I have
enough spirit for the team, I believe
I can lead the student body and have
the ability to. The reason I want yell
leader is I believe in tradition at the

be able to decide and make our deci
sions on how the construction com
panies are affecting our campus.
Do you advocate the line item
budgets or the program budgets?
Why? What is the advantage of your
choice for students?
I can’t say I’m totally in favor of
just line item budgets or program
budgets. I like the itemized budget
in the fact that you get a basic under
standing of what’s going on. The line
budgets are necessary as long as
there is someone there to totally exp
lain their budget request.
What are the problems surround
ing the user fee approach to student
funding as opposed to the lump sum
method now used?
I think the student service fee is
the best and least expensive ap
proach for everyone. I feel we should
keep away from the user fee as much
as possible.
Should the business concerns of
the MSC be under the jurisdiction
of the University Center Board or
the director of the MSC Directorate
and Council?
I really am not familiar with the
exact purpose of those two boards.
The one who is most informed
should take the responsibility of de
aling with the problem although I
don’t consider it a problem. I think
the council should have some say in
it since there are students involved
in the council.
How should the money from the
president’s concession fund be
used? Why?
There should be a small amount
set aside for Jack Williams, but I
don’t know if we should set aside the
entire fund for Dr. Williams. I can’t
see that all that amount of funds is
needed to further the causes of Texas
A&M. So the students are paying to
lobby for A&M. I’m not all for that. I
feel that the students should be get
ting part of their fees back.

university, that is the key word when
it comes to yell leader. Without trad
ition the university would absolutely
be just like any other.
Would you accept a women’s
spirit committee? What activities
would you have it perform?
If the committee was going to put
up signs around the dorms, posters
in the dorms, well heck, I don’t see
anything wrong with that.
I would have it do anything that
was within university regulations.
bring the guys working in the stack
ing area water and cookies and
sandwiches. And I think that is
great. I think there is a place for
women to do activities like that.

ition and still support the team
(Continued from Page 3)
Should the A&M student body
have an active lobbyist in Austin
during the legislative sessions? Why
or why not?
I don’t know if the student body
should. But I think the main colleges
in Texas should together. Because
most students have about the same
problems all over and ought to be
represented by somebody.
What is the major problem facing
A&M? What would you do to solve
it?
A&M s growth is too fast. They
need more construction but planned
construction. I would get on the
Campus Planning Committee. We
need student participation in that.
How important are the national
organizations to which A&M is af
filiated? Which are the most impor
tant and why?
NSL (National Student Lobby) is
important. It’s to help get all the stu
dents’ views across to the people like
the Texas legislature.
Mike Roiz
What are your qualifications for
the office and why do you want it?
I’m an active individual. I partici
pate in junior class council, I’m a
delegate to RHA, I’m very active in
intramurals. I love A&M and what it
stands for. I feel like I would be very
capable of doing it.
Would you accept a women’s
spirit committee? What activities
would you have it perform?
Well, during bonfire, the women
around here take the time out to
Richard Ponder
What are your qualifications for
the office and why do you want it?
Well, to begin with I’ve had a Ion;
family background at A&M. My da<
graduated here in ’49. I’ve had un
cles, all sorts of relatives here since
1910. I know a lot about A&M, about
its traditions, its people.
Would you accept a women’s
spirit committee? What activities
would you have it perform?
A women’s spirit committee, if it is
going to do anything would probably
do things like spirit signs. They
would be involved, in my mind, in
promoting athletic events. Spirit,
though, can cover lots of things. It
could be information involving the
campus or briefing students on a
tradition. They could work in con
junction with the yell leaders. It
would have to be a distinct and sepa
rate entity from the yell leaders.

One seeks RHA post
What policy will be used in man
aging the Quonset hut? Will it be
open for all interested parties?
Under the policy that we adopted
recently, people can sign up in A-2
lounge with Larry Ludewig. They
will have to put down a $50 deposit
for each day they plan on using the
Quonset hut and then the user fee
will be $50.
The members of RHA, residence
halls, will have priority over it, but it
becomes open for all University ac
tivities if the halls don’t book 3 weeks
before their event.
What are your qualifications for
this office? Why do you want it?
Last year I was the publicity
chairman iri my dorm, Davis-Gary,
and this year, I served as the presi
dent of Davis-Gary.
I just think it’s a real good way to
get involved. I see it’s there to belp
organize the civilian dorms on cam
pus into a unity where we can get
some things done.
What is the purpose of the Resi
dence Hall Association and do you
want to expand it? Why or why not?
Mainly, it points to getting a unifi
cation, get something solid, some
good support, where we can carry
out our activities. I think that we
really need to start spreading out and
to get involved with some of the
other on-campus, as well as the off-
campus, people.
We need some more people in
volved. A lot of people don’t know
what the RHA is and they don t knovy
what we do.
If we can work with Student Gov
ernment, we can probably change
some things that need to be
changed.

programming should RHA take a
strong leadership role in?
This year we’ve been involved in a
few other things. A few of our com
mittees were dorm improvements,
parking, a visitation hours commit
tee and a laundry committee.
I was looking through the Con
stitution last night. In our Constitu
tion, it stated that the RHA presi
dent has a seat in the Student Se
nate. Hopefully, we will start filling
this.
Should visitation hours be ex
tended? Why or why not?
We just recently got an extension
on visitation hours. Each of the
dorms voted and we did have two
that kept the same hours. It would
create problems if you had 24 hour
visitation, but then again it may help
things. You can create a lot of prob
lems with roommates having visitors
up there all hours of the nigbt. Then
again, it would maybe help the R. A. s
out because they wouldn’t have to be
walking around here patrolling.
Should the Corps be included by
dorm as part of RHA? Why or why
not? /
I don’t think so really, but I do
think that we should work together:
The Corps Staff is the organization
that is in charge of the Corps. They
have it worked out. We try to coor
dinate the civilian activities,
whereas they coordinate the people
in the Corps.
Should there be coed dorms?
Why or why not?
If you’re talking about every other
floor, you’re going to have to impose
certain hours or either everyone’s
going to have to be well aware of
when guys can be in and out. That
would nearly have to mean 24-hour
visitation.
If you had every other suite, once
again you would run into the 24-hour
visitation and the safety of the girls.
