Student government seeks
freshman aide applicants
By MARY ANN HINNANT
Battalion Reporter
Every fall, freshmen encounter upperclass sarcasm as
they read campus maps and ask directions to Rudder,
Tower. However, there is one thing a freshman can do
that no upperclassman can: apply for a position in the
student government as a freshman aide.
According to Melissa Gosper, former freshman aide
and co-coordinator for this year’s freshman programs,
other than being a freshman, the only requirement is to
have an interest in learning about Texas A&M Univer
sity.
A freshman aide has a job similar to that of a page in
the state capitol, Gosper said. There is quite a bit of
errand running and doing small jobs around the student
government office.
“Freshman aides play a very important part in student
government,” Gosper said. “They are the gap fillers
and are responsible for many jobs that must be done. ”
Freshman aides have specific duties. They are re
quired to attend two senate meetings each semester,
spend at least three hours per week in the student
government office and serve as a member on any one of
the five committees of student government, Gosper
said.
According to Mike Dillow, the second coordinator of
Man replaces
old flag flown
for hostages
United Press International
EL PASO — Frank Acosta lo
wered his faded symbol of hope for
the American hostages in Iran, but a
new replacement waved over the
neighborhood moments later.
Devoutly religious Acosta, 56, a
member of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars, said the tattered, faded Amer
ican flag he took down had flown
above his home since 53 Americans
were taken hostage in Iran last
November. It will be given to one of
the hostages’ families.
The banner had remained aloft un
til Friday, despite wind, rain, snow
or the setting sun, he explained, be
cause “the hostages are held day and
night.” He is determined to fly a flag
until the captured Americans are re
turned safely.
“It’s faded and shredded,” Acosta
said, “a reflection of the hostages’
faded dreams.”
There is only one way to ensure a
solution to the crisis, said Acosta,
and that’s “through the miracle of
prayer. God Almighty is the sup
reme commander of all armies. ”
the freshman programs, freshman aides have an advan
tage over most other new students.
“They are immediately introduced to the whole sys
tem of the University and they’re able to learn what
makes the clock tick,” Dillow said.
The freshman aides also have the chance to meet and
work with Texas A&M’s top administrators, he said.
“For me, this was the best thing about being a fresh
man aide,” Dillow said.
If a student wants to get involved in student govern
ment, Gosper said, being a freshman aide is the one big
step that will help get him there.
She added that about half of last year’s freshman aides
are currently serving as senators or committee mem
bers, or they have been appointed to other positions in
the student government.
Applications are available at the student government
office in Room 216 of the Memorial Student Center for
those students interested in applying to be freshman
aides. At this time students must sign up for an inter
view to be held next week.
The deadline for application is Friday.
Cosper estimated that two hundred students will app
ly to be freshman aides, 40 of whom will be chosen.
“What we re looking for is someone who is willing to
devote time and effort to student government,” Dillow
said.
