'86 president
Thomas “Pre” Ball
senior
management
As class president this year,
I have had an opportunity to
see both the strengths and
weaknesses of our class organi
zation. I feel this experience
will enable me to perform the
duties of senior class president
in the most effective and bene
ficial manner.
My personal goal for our
“zip” year is to sponsor social
events such as class playdays
and Q-Hut parties in an at
tempt to raise as much money
as possible for our class gift.

I’m running for the office of
resident because I’ve always
ad an elevated interest in hav
ing input about the decisions
of things that affect me di
rectly. I enjoy meeting new
people and value the experi
ence I gain in working with
different individuals. I feel be
ing president would give me a
chance to contribute to all of
my classmates, my leadership
qualities and to work with them
constructively and individu
ally.
I’m convinced that I am es- _
penally qualified for the posi
tion because I have been active
in extracurricular activities.
I’ve been a member of Political
Forum, Aggie G.O.P. and the
A&M Sailing Club. Other ac
complishments include Distin
guished Student, Ross Volun
teers, “Brown Pot” Regiment
Bonfire Coordinator and
Commanding First Sergeant of
Company N-l.
If elected, I intend to see
that all class officers will defi-

I see the position of class
president as one of importance
in the sense of the size of our
class and the responsibility of
representing this large and di
versified constituency. This re
sponsibility cannot be taken
lightly.
It is important that this per
son be able to make use of the
authority associated with this
position. He must make wise
decisions and manage his re
sponsibilities well. I believe
that through my experience in
the Corps of Cadets, the Flor
iculture-Ornamental Horticul
ture Club and Four-H club I
have obtained these assets.
The main goal of our class
should be to decide what our
class gift to the University
should be before the end of
this year.

possible for the entire class.
Also I am going to promote
the commemorative statues for
former Aggies who served in
World War II as the gift our
class gives to A&M.

I am running for the office
of president of the Class of ’87
because I see that the Class of
’87 has the potential to be one
of the best classes to go
through Texas A&M in a long
time, and I feel I can create a
positive influence on the class.
To be a good president,
strong and positive leadership
is a must. My experiences in
dealing with others and listen
ing to all views before making
a personal judgement aug
ment my leadership qualities.
All this is driven by my desire
to see the Class of ’87 ascend to
a prominent position.
As president, my major goal
will be to motivate all members
of the Class of’87.

I am running for Class of
’87 President because I want to
utilize my two years of experi
ence as social secretary to ben
efit our class. As the officer in
charge of planning and orga
nizing social activities, includ
ing our main project the class
ball, class council has been my
number one priority for two
years. If elected, I will con
tinue to restrict my commit
ments to other time-con
suming activities in order to do
the best job possible for our
class. My main goal is to insure
that our class receives the max
imum possible benefit from its
class council. My strategy for
achieving this goal is to estab
lish cooperative organization
among those on the class coun-

Howdy Class of ’87! I have
worked on class council for the
past two years. I as president
can make sure responsibilities
are fullfilled. I care about the
direction of the class, and I
want to help us leave our
mark. Next year will be an im
portant year for our class since
Clay La Grone
cil. The basic purpose of hav
ing a class council is to provide
activities to entertain the class.

we will begin to set goals for
our final two years. I plan to
make this a fun time as we be
come more visible and produc
tive in serving the class. I want
to involve more people in ac
tivities. This can be achieved
by improving the communica
tion within the class.

Dion Laurent

I am running for class presi
dent as the incumbent because
I hold deep concern for Texas
A&M, particularly all aspects
of the University pertaining to
the Class of ’88. I feel that
through my position as presi
dent this year, I have gained
experiences that few others
can possibly claim.
From my position, I have
learned to work well with oth
ers and to effectively correct
ujaijsing problems. Most im-
portantly though, I have
gained confidence about my
position, my obligations and
the delegation of authority.
When speaking of goals, I hold
my stance that the obligation
of the council, as elected offi
cers, is to represent the class in
all aspects of college life. I feel
that we should not only pro
mote active participation in
numerous council-organized
activities, but also in student
affairs, possibly overlapping
our goals with those of the sen
ate and Student Government.
David Redding
freshman
general studies
I am running for the office
of president because of the
firm beliefs and attitudes that I
have developed during my
first semester and a half at
Texas A&M. These attitudes
will help me drive toward a
unity that the Class of ’88 has
not yet experienced.
My qualifications are fairly
limited, yet through the deter
mination that I have to make
the Class of ’88 a strong and ef
fective class, I believe I can
compensate for lack of experi
ence.
One of my goals is to im
prove n o n - r e g/C o r p s
relationships. I believe that
compromise on both parts will
manifest a sturdy base, on
which a strong government
can be built.
