on for the 6th Congressional
istrict representative because
registration must be completed
30 days before an election.
If there is a runoff in the
election, students who regis
tered during the drive will be
eligible to vote.
Students w'ho register during
next week’s drive also will be
able to vote in the city elections
on April 2, which will involve
issues such as road conditions,
maintenance and city council
elections.
“These issues really affect the
students, especially those off-
campus, and they need to be bet
ter represented,” said Mike
Wolff, vice-president for the ex
ternal affairs. “Now they do not
really have a voice because not
many students are registered,”
he said.
If a student is registered to
vote in his hometown he can re
gister to vote in College Station.
This will not cause the loss of
E ermanent residency in the
ometown.
When registering, identifica
tion must be shown and both a
residence and a mailing address
must be listed on the registration
form.

Tuesday.
II Students should consider

ie said. The old offices will be

needing immediate assistance.
'Southerland said the old offices

all facets of financial aid
should be operating in the new
iffices.
The main entrance to the new
|ffices will be on the side of the
registration center that faces the
Agriculture Building. At the top
if the stairs will be an informa-
■lon desk.
Southerland said the major
reason lor the need to move was
|he lack of work space. Souther-
pad said. I he old office was in
le same location and had the
TOie amount of space as when it
was dealing with only 12,GOO

oeverisinflerland said, but with office space
jse somegoWuch a premium on the Texas
itial wreckoi &M campus the office needed
to be moved as soon as possible.
After financial aid vacates its
old offices, the third floor of the
YMCA Building will be com
pletely remodeled. The Student
Counseling Service hopes to
move in by late spring, Dr. Wade
Birch, director, said. The move
will allow the counseling service
to consolidate its offices under
one roof, he said. Presently his
staff is split between basement
offices in the YMCA Building
and first floor Academic Build
ing offices.
Birch said that both the re
modeling and moving plans for
his offices are still in the plan
ning stages.
The Department of Student
Activities also is planning a
move, and an extension of its
offices.
Donnie Albrecht, assistant di
rector of the student activities
department, said that the four
full-time staff members and
their secretaries will move to the
second floor of the registration
center in late spring.
Offices of some of the larger
student organizations also will
be relocated at the center, he
said. Those included are Stu
dent Government, Off-Campus
Aggies, Student Y Association
and the Residence Hall Associa
tion, he said. Other student
organizations, including those
run by the Memorial Student
Center, will remain in the MSC,
Space also is available at the
new location for about 20 cubi
cles, and applications still are
being taken for these, Albrecht
said. Cubicles, small areas with
partitions and desks, serve as
offices for student organiza
tions.
