Class participation is essential for
spring semester goals to be met,
~>xas A&M’s foifr class presidents
aid during Wednesday’s Sully’s
ymposium.
Jim Allen, Class of ’85; Pre Ball,
86; Keith McBride, ’87; and Dion
aurent, ’88, spoke of their goals
nd objectives for the spring semes-
er during the first symposium of
the semester.
‘One of our main goals this se-
vester are new horizons for class
council,” Allen said.
To help with the needs of stu-
ients, the senior class council has es-
ablished an Advisory Council with
ohn D. Koldus, vice president of
student services, and several busi
nessmen from Austin, Houston, and
’ San Antonio, Allen said.
, In the past, class council has been
somewhat overlooked, Allen said,
but the positive response from the
Class of’85 shows that class council is
'gaining recognition and influence
on campus.
I “In the years ahead you will see
Blass council’s influence become
llfcomparable to the Student Senate’s,”
f|\llen said.
1 On the seniors’ list of priorities for
Bhis semester is the decision of a class
Bift.
| “We want something long and on-
Boing,” Allen said. “Most gifts con
cern wartime, but we would like to
move more towards the liberal arts.”
One of the proposed gifts is an art
allery to which class members can
contribute even after graduation, he
aid.
Fundraising and class partici-
ation are both important, Allen
aid, especially for tne senior class
which is trying to raise more money
than any class before. The largest
amount that has been raised is
$42,000, but the Class of ’85 has set
its goal at $85,000.
«■ Allen said if everybody in the
Class of’85 participates there should
be no problem reaching the goal.

doubled over the last year, student
irticipation can never be too high,

lie said.
| In a question and answer session
alter the speeches, a Class of ’85
graduate student asked why he was
not able to vote for Class of ’85 un
dergraduate elections.
‘T here are separate elections to
keep a clear distinction among clas
ses,” Allen said.
Class of’86 President Pre Ball said
the first priority for juniors is the
“Masquerade Ball”, Friday night fea
turing the Executives.
Goals for the Class of ’86 include
increasing student participation and
raising money for the class gift.
“This year our plan is to have a
brainstorming meeting to get ideas,
and a few weeks later, have a huge
class meeting to vote on it (gift),”
Ball said.
Class of ’87 President Keith Mc
Bride said increasing class partici
pation is his major goal.
At the beginning of the year it
(participation) was good, but it has
slacked off now,” McBride said.
A fundraiser is needed because
most of the money raised last semes
ter has been spent, McBride said.
Class gift ideas also are being dis
cussed, he said. One proposal, a re
play board for Kyle Field, would be
an expensive but a good addition to
the stadium, McBride said.
Class of ’88 President Dion Lau
rent said the freshmen class has an
advantage in class participation be
cause ol the high motivation as the
entering class.
“The role of the president is to try
and get more involved in student af
fairs,” Laurent said.
Some freshmen cadets have ap
pealed to the class council concern
ing complaints in Corps discipline
policies, Laurent said. Those cadets
nave proposed a few changes that
they think will help boost enrollment
in the Corps.
Freshmen representatives have
been assigned to each unit and will
record complaints. The grievances
will be reviewed at a general meeting
and then taken to Corps administra
tors.

thinking of selling out
Associated Press
DALLAS — Warner Amex Cable
Communications Inc. is reviewing
offers for its loss-plagued Dallas ca
ble operation, a corporate official in
New York has confirmed.
But “no final determination has
been made whether we will sell the
system,” said Ken Lerer, Warner
Amex vice president for corporate
affairs.
The company’s main consider
ation is the “long and difficult” situa
tion Warner Amex has faced in Dal
las since its city franchise in April
1981, Lerer said.
