s would hap
Dr. Eddie J. Davis
Texas State University, was
named to the new position of
vice president for fiscal affairs
at Texas A&M University by
the Texas A&M Board of Re
gents Tuesday. The appoint
ment is effective Jan. 1.
Davis was recommended to
the board by University Presi
dent Frank E. Vandiver, who
as president of North Texas,
hired Davis from Texas A&M
in 1980. Davis held the A&M
position of associate vice pres
ident of business affairs at the
time, and had worked at the
University since 1972.
Davis, class of’67, was com
mander of the Corps of
Cadets his senior year. After
receiving his undergraduate
degree, he served as an intelli
gence officer in the Army be
fore studying at the Graduate
School of Business Adminis
tration at Harvard University.
Davis earned his doctorate
in educational administration
at Texas A&M in 1980. He is
the co-author of a book pend
ing publication that deals with
the fmancingof higher educa
tion in Texas.
Davis’s appointment is
prompted by the retirement
of Vice President for Business
Affairs Howard Vestal, effec
tive Jan. 16. The appointment
completes an administrative
reorganization Vandiver said
is designed to streamline the
University’s top-level opera
tions. The reorganization has
resulted in the decrease of one
position at the vice presiden
tial level.

Despite the fact that he re-
cieved 48 percent of the vote in
the original election, Hank the
Hallucination wasn’t allowed to
participate in the Nov. 17 runoff
election for University of Texas
student body president.
Hank the Hallucination is a
character in The Daily Texan
comic strip “Eyebeam.”
“Hank was totally unqual
ified,” Sam Hurt, Hank’s
creator, said. “One of the prere-
quistites for office that we (the
campaign staff) failed to antici
pate was that the candidate
actually exist.”
Hank recieved 3,013 votes in
a four-man — or a three-man,
one cartoon character— race for
the office of the student body
president of UT. Pat Duval, the
runner-up, recieved 1,486
votes. And Paul Begala came in
third with 1,327 votes.
Hurt, a third year law student
at UT, said no one can remem
ber whose idea it was to enter
Hank in the race, but that
Hank’s staff was motivated by “a
cynical attitude toward student
government.”
Student government was abo
lished at UT in 1978. In the
spring of 1982 a constitution was
drawn up and ratified by the stu
dents. That constitution was
then submitted to the UT Board
of Regents this summer.
John Denson, one of the co
authors of the constitution and a
member of Hank’s campaign
staff, said that many of the peo
ple who voted for Hank were
showing there disapproval of
the UT Board of Regents deci
sion to rewrite the constitution,
taking away many of the student
government’s powers.
“The number of people who
voted for Hank indicated how
many people thought it was
easier to believe in Hank than in
student government,” Denson
said. “We were trying to make a
statement about student govern
ment here.”
Denson, a fourth year law/
public affairs student, said
Hank’s campaign staff haij two
goals in entering Hank in the
election for student body presi
dent.
First, they wanted to find out
how many people were dissatis
fied with UT’s student govern
ment and to focus attention on
student government, he said.
“Hank did a good job of get
ting people interested in student
government,” Denson said. “I
think they (student govern
ment) have got a clear mandate
to go after more power. It was a
joke, but a serious joke.
Hank is continuing the joke a
little farther, Denson said. Hank
is going to hold an inaugural ball
and set up a student govern
ment in exile.
Begala, a senior government
major, won the runoff election.
