ALL UNITS MUST BE RETURNED TO AVOID PENALTIES * *••• "V By MICHELLE SCUDDER Battalion Staff Student Legal Adviser Chris Kling will be leaving Texas A&M University May 31 to go into private practice. Kling said he has enjoyed his as sociation with the faculty and stu dents, but he wants to do trial work. “I don’t feel like I’m getting enough courtroom exposure, al though I really don’t feel the Uni versity should be representing a large number of students’ cases in court,” Kling said. Most cases that need courtroom representation are referred to lawyers in Bryan or College Station, he said. “Most of our courtroom cases are limited by the job description to consumer protection cases,” he said. In the two years that Kling has been at Texas A&M he has filed charges in only two courtroom cases, and taken only one to court. Kling said being student legal ad viser is more like being a father, mother, brother and best friend than an attorney. “I get more involved with people not getting along than I do legal proglems,” Kling said. Brenda Anderson, assistant stu dent development coordinator said Kling has been important in helping off-campus students. The new adviser will choose aiu sistant. Kling came to Texas A&Masa sistant student legal adviserinii gust of 1976 after graduating^ 0 Baylor Law School. Hebecameslt bon “He has been able to provide good professional legal advice and he has been more than willing to help students and see that they are treated fairly,” Anderson said. Assistant Legal Adviser Eugene Lyles will also be leaving Texas A&M to go into private practice. Applications for student legal ad viser will be accepted through June 1, said Dr. John Koldus, vice presi dent for student services. The three best applicants will be interviewed by Koldus, his staff and and stu dents. Koldus said he plans to have a student legal adviser by Aug. 1. John Hill Opposes State Income Tax When he announced for Governor, Attorney General John Hill said that he would oppose — and would veto — a state income tax or any other new tax bill. He has repeated that pledge many times since. Any one who says that Hill would support a state income tax is just trying to mislead the public. As Attorney General, John Hill cleaned up political corruption in Duval County, sued the phone company to stop an increase in rates and worked for a national energy policy that would be fair to Texas. As Governor, John Hill will use the state’s budget surplus to reduce property taxes and to help pay more of the cost of our public schools. There will be no state income tax and no other new taxes if Hill is elected Governor.
