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

board. 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.

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
