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.

“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.
