Texas A&M may be known for
he love its students have for the
■chool, yet few students voice
ipinions on critical University
ssues — issues which affect stu-
lents either directly or indirectly.
The term 2-percenter normally
refers to a student who does not
uphold Texas A&M traditions, but
the term could just as easily refer
to the students who make no effort
to influence policy at the Univer
sity.
And those who do participate
jhave the difficult task of epre-
sentingan apathetic student body.
In recent student elections only
1 percent of the student body
voted.
Yet, students not having an
opportunity to express their ideas
is not the problem, Student Body
President Brad Smith said.
We are fortunate in the way
the administration allows us input
into University policy making.
Any well-backed argument will be
Students are presently on 38 of
University committees.
The number of students on the
committees is sufficient to give the
student body fair representation,
m ith said. The committees are
evaluated as to how often the stu-
e nt members disagree with the
acuity and administration mem-
oers.
Smith envisioned possible im
provements, however.
Improvement could be made
'" equipping students on the com-
™' tees with more knowledge, not
“rough increased numbers,” he
said.
On committees which directly
students, such as the Who’s
r. j Selection Committee or the
u cuts Rights Appeals Panel,
e proportion of student mem-
rs to faculty and administration
members is high.
For example, 13 members of
the 23 members on the Who’s
Who Committee are students.
And of the 10 members on the
Students’ Rights Appeals Panel
five are students.
Conversely, on committees
which indirectly affect students
the proportion of student mem
bers to faculty and administration
members is low. Of the 19 mem
bers on the Curriculum Commit
tee only two are students. The
Curriculum Committee is respon
sible for recommending new clas
ses and courses of study to be
offered by the University.
“It’s not the vote of the students
that change the policies of the
University system,” said Brent
Taber, Student Government coor
dinator of University committees.
Rather, he said, what is signifi
cant is that students have an
opportunity to voice their opin
ions and have them heard.
“In general, student represen
tatives take an interest and partici
pate,” Associate Dean of the Col-
back and gloat in the access they
presently have to University
administration at the committee
level or take this opportunity to

worked with, the students on the
Rules and Regulations Committee
are the most active and come in
with more knowledge of the
issues.”
The committee system is not
without problems, however. And
Dr. John Koldus, vice president of
student services cited a lack of
communication as one trouble.
“I think the main problem is
channeling input from the entire
student body to their representa
tives and from the represenata-
tives back to the student body,” he
said.
Similarly, Smith said:
“There is a tremendous lack of
information concerning what stu
dents are doing for other students.
“We’ve doubled or tripled our
PR (public relations) effort this
year. Our biggest drive is to get
student senators to talk with their
constituencies.”
Student representation at the
committee level may be adequate.
The same cannot be said for the
higher levels of University admi
nistration, however, and attempts
to change the situation are
underway.
Student Government is attemp
ting to gain student representa
tion at the highest level of Univer
sity administration — the Texas
A&M University System Board of
Regents. This issue has been
addressed every year, but little
progress has been made.
Smith, however, supports stu
dents’ moves to get representation
on the board.
“Students should be involved at
every single level, or have access
to every level,’ he said.
At present, student representa
tion on the board doesn’t look
promising. This leaves two op
tions available to students — sit
