national Battalion/Page I April 15,1 Bright (continued from page 1) leadership ability, remarkable experience.” He pointed to Hansen’s 13-year record, first as president of Georgia Tech, then as president of Purdue. Quoting an editorial in an Indiana newspaper, Bright said Hansen’s record at Purdue was virtually flawless. And Hansen has a “window to industry” that will benefit Texas A&M, Bright said. “He has an access to business, industry and finance that will be valuable to a university system such as ours,” he said. “He is an outstanding scholar and the ability of A&M to attract him will attract nation-wide academic ability.” Bright also praised Hansen’s skill in handling the press. He cited an interview with Lane Stephenson, the University dire ctor of public information. The interview “put Hansen on the spot” about the hiring of Head Coach Sherrill, Bright said. The interview appeared March 26 in Fortnightly, a news letter for University faculty and staff. Bright read Hansen’s answer to the audience, calling him a “born diplomat.” Hansen had said that Sherrill’s hiring re flected the board’s commitment to excellence, and that he in tended to pursue exactly the same policy. Convincing Hansen to come to Texas A&M was difficult, Bright said. “We competed for him with Purdue, which wanted him to stay; we competed with the Uni versity of Alabama System, a three-university system; we npeted with the University of ifornia System, com California a 29- umversity system,” he said. “And he picked A&M over those. “He picked A&M because he felt it had more potential than any place else in the United States.” However, after the speech, Bright said he disagreed with Hansen on one subject. Hansen has said the Board of Regents would benefit from a student member. A student now serves on Purdue University’s Board of Trustees, their equiva lent of a board of regents. But, Bright said, “Deciding who sits on the board is not Dr. Hansen’s function and it’s not mine. It’s the Legislature’s and the Governor’s function. “I personally do not see the value of it to the University or to SMU-IN-SPAIN FALL 1982 Courses taught in English in clude: Art History Economics Finance History Marketing Philosophy Political Science Additional courses are offered in Spanish language and literature.

But I have no more to do with it than I have to do with selecting the editor of The Bat talion.” Bright also discussed how much the University has changed since Sul Ross mem bers graduated. He cited enroll ment and budget growth, the admission of females and the dropping of the ROTC require ment. “There have been many changes ... not all of them are bad (manges, but some of them are hard for us to swallow,” he said. Bright said Randy Matson, executive director of the Asso ciation of Former Students, had warned him that some people in Wednesday’s audience believe membership in the Corps of Cadets should still be required. “And I said, ‘Randy, you’re talking to one of them,”’ he said. The audience laughed and applauded. Hospitals dang erous to patients United Press International It’s ironic, but one of the easiest places to pick up a dan gerous infection is lying in a hos pital bed, a doctor claims. Hospital patients are com monly exposed to a number of infectious diseases — including pneumonia and staphylococcal infection — just when their re sistance to disease is lowest, according to Dr. Richard Wen zel, director of Virginia’s state wide infection control program. “From 50,000 to 100,000 pa tients died in 1980 in U.S. hos pitals as a direct result of hospit al-acquired bloodstream infec tions,” Wenzel said in Science rian Joels ike Livshi : he has i Livshitz 7-6 the Cougars A solo outdoor concert Tom McCaulley, a senior technology major from takes advantage of the engineering Carrollton, afternoon sunshine the park Coliseum. while he plays from G. his euitnl Rollie " * Digest magazine.
