Decisions pending on
officers’ resignations
Battalion photo by J. Wagner Tyncs

Battalion Staff
The student body president and a
vice president plan to decide next
week whether or not they will re
sign their offices.
Wednesday night the student se
nate requested the resignations of
Robert Harvey, president, and
Vicki Young, vice president for stu
dent services.
By a secret vote of 26-24, senators
approved the suggestion, “The per
son in question should resign ac
cording to regulations as stated.
This is to be applied to all members
of student government currently
shown to be deficient in posting a
2.000 GPR per semester.
One member abstained, and 19
were absent. Eight senate seats
were vacant.
Both Harvey and Young posted
below 2.0 GPRs for last semester.
Harvey’s cumulative or overall
GPR, for all course work at Texas
A&M University, is 2.94. Young’s
cumulative GPR is 3.23.
They said Thursday evening they
wanted time to consider the senate s
recommendation before deciding.
“I want to give it until Sunday and
the executive committee meeting,”
Harvey said.
Harvey said he plans to talk with
university officials about the effects
of his decision on future presidents.
“I do consider it (the senate’s
vote) very seriously.” he said.
When asked if she planned to re
sign, Young said, “It looks probable.
I respect the wishes of the senate.
I’ve given it a lot of thought.
“I’ll decide within a week. I need
to finish up some things with the
committee.
“It’s a shame they didn’t discuss
the student body constitution.
“But it came down to discussing
rules and regs, which the student
senate doesn’t approve.”
Senators debated nearly three
hours on one main issue: whether
grade requirements for student offi
cials should he based on the cumula
tive or per semester GPR. I hey
could not agree if either the student
body constitution or University
Regulations clearly state the re
quirement. Instead, they cited
“regulations as stated to request
the resignations. This allowed each
senator to decide individually which
rule should apply.
Senators began a move near the
end of the six-hour session to estab
lish the cumulative 2.0 GPR as the
only grade requirement by amend
ing University Regulations. Para
graph 68 of the regulations now
states a student officer must have “at
least a 2.000 grade point ratio ...
during the term of office. Many
interpret that to mean the GPR
posted each semester.
Each year the senate revises Uni
versity Regulations, and llii l
posed amendment would lnl
eluded in the general revision
already before the senate.
The hill was tabled untilM
senate meeting because lessf
half the senators were preseii||
no action could be taken.

student senators unanimouslij

law that prohibits students all
working half time or less foil

tern (TTRS).

WASHINGTON — Republican
National Ghairman Bill Brock said
Thursday President Carter was
hoodwinked by HEW Secretary
Joseph Califano into supporting a
$1.46-billion boost in college stu
dent aid for middle income families.
Republicans support a conflicting
plan of income tax credits for stu
dent tuition instead of the direct
scholarships, easier loans and col
lege job funds proposed by the ad
ministration Wednesday.
Brock released his attack after a
memo from Califano to Carter was
mysteriously leaked on Capitol Hill.
The memo, which angered some
key legislators, warned that the ad
ministration should move fast on
“this very hot issue” — apparently
referring to growing support in
Congress for tuition tax credits for
school children of any age.
"President Carter’s proposal to
meet rising costs of college with ex
panded scholarships and loans is a
skinflint response to the pleas by
middle class families under the
greatest pressure, said Brock in a
statement.
“It adds more bureaucratic red
tape, increases the cost and size of
government, and gener
