KEN JOHNSON
Ken Johnson, a junior agriculture
economics major, says his primary
goal will be to maintain Student
Government as a stong and viable
force in the midst of the upcoming
change in administration and the
recent change in membership on
the Board of Regents.
Johnson, who is the present
Speaker of the Senate, says one of
his goals is to establish a uniform,
Universitv-wide Q-drop policy
that allows a student time to
establish a grade prior to the Q-
MARC SCHNEIDER
Marc Schneider, a junior political
science major from Humble, says
his main goal as student body
president is to provide the enthu
siastic leadership that is required
to ensure students get “a fair deal
in any of the administration’s poli
cies.”
Schneider says he also feels it is
important to enhance tradition
and students services in order to
keep pace with the rapid growth at
Texas A&M.
To keep tradition at Texas
drop deadline. Johnson says he
will also work for the continuation
of finals exemption for seniors.
A third problem Johnson says
he will attempt to solve concerns
the teaching effectiveness of the
faculty. “Effective teaching must
not be sacrificed for the sake of
research,” he says.
Johnson says pedestrian and bi
cycle traffic should take prece
dence over vehicles on campus
and adequate parking lots should
be maintained.
Action should be taken, with
A&M strong, Schneider would
hold a rally for freshmen that don’t
attend Fish Camp and continue
support for the Fish Camp prog
ram, he says. He would also help
Off-Campus Aggies get more stu
dents involved and offer a special
program on traditions.
Schneider says he would en
courage RHA to promote trad-
tions through dorm councils and
have special orientation for inter
national and out-of-state students
as well as new professors. En
couraging better relations be-
safeguards from a computing faci
lities study, to better train stu
dents and allow them more com
puter time, he says.
Johnson says, “We must look
for the most equitable way to re
duce overcrowding and long waits
in the A.P. Beutal Health Cen
ter.”
With respect to long-term plan
ning for the University, Johnson
says there is a need to limit stu
dent enrollment since the Univer
sity is out-growing its physical
plant.
tween the Corps of Cadets and the
rest of the student body is also
important, he says.
“Texas A&M is an incredibly
student-oriented University con
sidering its size,” Schneider says.
“It will take increased efforts to
maintain this characteristic as the
school expands.”
Expanding student services and
making them better known to stu
dents would be one of his major
concerns.
“I would push for more dorm-
related services,” Schneider says,
Johnson says there is a need for
better contact between senators
and their constituents. “We
should make constituent contact a
factor in the existing point system
used to monitor senators’ effec
tiveness,” he says.
Johnson says one of the primary
weaknesses in the Student Gov
ernment is that too many senators
drop out. “We need strong com
petition for all senate positions,”
Johnson says. This measure
should bring greater awareness of
Student Government.
“since the fees will be increased
by 20 percent.”
He would assure student
approval of housing policies by
forming a committee to monitor
administrative activity and keep
ing students informed, he says.
Schneider is a second-year
senator and has served on the
External Affairs Committee, Stu
dent Services Committee and Ac
ademic Affairs Committee, as
well as RHA.
DAVID B. COLLINS
David B. Collins, a junior pofitical
science major from Lubbock, says
his main goal would be to improve
the services offered to students
and to effectively present student
ideas to university officials.
Collins, who is the current vice
president of external affairs, says
communication between students
and the senate is the major weak
ness of the Student Government
He plans to solve this problem by
encouraging more contact be
tween senators and students and
increasing direct contact between
organizational leaders.
Dealing with Texas A&M’s en
rollment increase will be a major
problem next year, Collins says.
“Taking steps to ensure that our
Aggie spirit is not lost as we con
tinue to change and develop,” he
says would be one of his major
concerns. First and foremost, a
student body president must
understand the ideas that make an
“Aggie,” Coffins says. Collins says
he would work to preserve the
cohesiveness of the student body.
Improving student services
offered would be another goal,
Collins says, along with, “maldng
sure the student voice is heard at
all levels of the University
system.”
Coffins says one potential prob
lem area he sees that he would
concentrate on is the preservation
of Texas A&M’s “excellent educa
tional environment.” To do this,
Collins said he would work to en
sure that teaching is not oversha
dowed by research, improve the
operations of the Student Finan
cial Aid Office and increase the
level and quality of counseling in
each academic department.
Collins says his qualifications
are one year as vice president of
external affairs, one year as a stu
dent senator, one year as the dire
ctor of business and consumer re
lations and one year as a represen
tative of the Off-Campus Student
Association.
MATT WOODRUFF
Matt Woodruff, acting president
of Alpha Phi Omega, says he is
running for student body presi
dent to serve and represent the
students.
Woodruff, a junior psychology
major from Houston, says his
qualifications are dedication, ex
perience, a serious attitude and a
commitment to be informed on all
matters. “While acting as presi
dent of APO, chairman of the
Aggie Blood Drive and serving in
other positions, I have developed
sound working relationships with
administrators and student lead
ers,” Woodruff says. “As presi
dent (of Student Government), I
will build on these relationships.”
Woodruff says his main goal is to
organize and motivate the Student
Government to accomplish a vari
ety of specific goals. “In organiz
ing I will establish a functional
heirarchy that will assign respon
sibilities clearly, so that each offic
er understands what his job en
tails,” he says.
He says the Student Govern
ment has a duty to promote a posi
tive image of Texas A&M Univer
sity in order to recruit new stu
dents and to aid graduates in get
ting jobs.
The current Student Govern
ment has failed in this duty, he
says. However, Woodruff says the
Student Government is a present
ly a sound organization. “I wish to
build on this foundation so that
even greater goals may be real
ized,” he says.
Woodruff says there are some
problems currently facing the
University. One is rapidly increas
ing tuition and fees. “I will show
the untoward effects of these in
creases to those attempting to in
stitute them,” he says.
He says another problem is on-
campus parking. Woodruff says he
will work to improve the bus
system.
Attacks on the Permanent Uni
versity Fund is another problem
he says. “I will actively lobby
against any challenges to it,”
Woodruff says.

MARY ELIZABETH
HERRING
Mary Elizabeth Herring, current
Student Government liaison to
the College Station City Council,
is running for student body presi
dent.
Herring, a political science
junior from Fort Worth, says she
is running for president “because I
feel like I have some experience
and some quahties to lend to the
office.”
“I was motivated by dissatisfac
tion with the status quo, ” she says.
Herring says she feels there is
“a tendency for Student Govern
ment to be preoccupied with the
issues that are beyond its scope.
These ‘nonproblems’ consume
time and resources that could be
devoted to more important pro
jects.”
She has been the city govern
ment liasion since Fall 1979, and
was an off-campus senator in ’79-
’80.
Through working at the Univer
sity Art Exhibit for 3% years, Her
ring says, she has come into con
tact with many University admi
nistrators and officials.
Herring’s main goal if elected
would be to maximize representa
tion from all segments of the Uni
versity, to utilize this input in de
cision-making and in dispensing
information.
The major weakness in the Stu
dent Government is that there is
room for improvement in the rep
resentativeness of the student
body in Student Government.
Herring sees her goal as student
body president as researching stu
dent opinion and representing it
in the fairest way possible.
Key problems Herring sees fac
ing the University are “problems
with academic requirements —
one sometimes questions if stu
dents are getting a ‘University
education.’ Through improving
advisor-student relations, a stu
dent’s goal can be better defined
and met.”
