Symposium speakers square off
Senators rap student apathy
By SANDRA SUTPHEN
Reporter
“If Student Government just
packed up and went home, would
any of you care?” asked Brian Hay,
senator from Texas A&M’s College
of Agriculture, at Sully’s Symposium
Wednesday.
Hay and Speaker Pro Tern Eric
Thode, who also spoke at the sympo
sium, did not agree on much, but
they both expressed concern over
the apathy of the student body con
cerning Student Government.
Thode said that even with all the
controversies at Texas A&M, stu
dents do not get out and try to
change things. He said there is only
so much that government can do
without help from the student body.
“You can’t change from without,
you have to change from within,” he
said.
Hay, who calls himself a liberal
Democrat, said much of what is done
by Student Government could be
done without it, but Student Gov
ernment does have its place as a fo
rum for people to express their
ideas.
“We all have a point of view and
we should express it,” he said.
Hay said he thought students
should have a voting member on the
Board of Regents. He said that since
the regents run the University, stu
dents should have a say in the deci
sions that affect them.
When asked about the senate
votes on controversial issues such as
Gay Student Services and women in
the Aggie Band, Thode said that
while the senators try to vote the in
terest of their constituency, they can
only guess what is in the best interest
of the students.
Hay, on the other hand, said his
job is to represent not only his con
stituents but the whole campus. He
said students feel a certain way about
an issue because they do not know all
of the facts.
Hay said that after hearing all of
the views expressed in the senate
meetings, he decides how he will
vote on an issue.
“For someone to vote against
something without knowing the
background — that is wrong,” he
said. “If people go into a senate
meeting with their minds already
made up on an issue, we should just
put computer terminals in the
dorms and
let people vote from the-

Students spend ‘Days of Our Lives’ together
By TAMARA BELL
Staff Writer
Every weekday at noon, Kevin
Erck can be found in the Browsing
Library in the Memorial Student
Center watching Bo and Hope try to
keep their elopement a secret from
the family, Marlena cope with being
a recent widow and new mother of
twins, and Peter worry about
whether the woman found dead in
the river is really his wife.
No, Erck isn’t eavesdropping on
students’ private conversations. He
is one of a small group that gathers
in the library’s television room to
watch the daytime drama, “Days of
Our Lives.”
“I became interested in ‘The Days’
in the sixth grade,” Erck said. “My
mom got me hooked on it. During
the summer I watch it with her.”
Although not all viewers of
“soaps” can rearrange class sched
ules for their favorite show, some
students have managed to leave at
least two days open to watch their
show.
Ann Jones, a devoted “Days of
Our Lives” fan, said that because she
has classes during the show, she re
cords it so she doesn’t miss the end
ing of a storyline she’s followed.
As a freshman at Purdue, Audrey
Kolin planned her life around “All
My Children.” As a junior at Texas
A&M, Kolin continues to plan her
schedule around the daytime drama.
“The show is suspenseful,” Kolin
said. “I want to see what happens to
these people of Pine Valley. Al
though the things that Erica Kane
gets away with could never really
happen, it fascinates me to see her
operate.
“Some shows you just have to
laugh-at but I continue to watch just
to see if what I hope will happen,
will.”
No daytime drama could exist
without problems for the characters
to overcome. A character’s problems
are usually overdramatized, unrea
listic and humorous.
Terri Richards, who watches “Ge
neral Hospital,” said some situations

are too bizzare to be true. Howevei

Because of the amount of tinn
some students spend togette
watching a show, friendships bt
tween the students evolve.
Amy Cox watches “Days of On
Lives” with Erck and Jones. Thfl
didn’t know one another beforethej
came to the library. Now they an
friends.
“Between commercials you
