And Student Government is no exception. One of Student Government’s goals for this school year is to com municate better with the student body, Student Body President Sean Royall said. “The reason we want to do this is because the information we have in Student Government is for the stu dents,” he said. “We want to get the information to the student, espe cially those who are very passive.” The first step toward this goal was the formation of a new department in charge of communications, both external and internal. Externally, the department will bring information from Student Government to the students, and send feedback to Student Govern ment, Royall said. Student leaders will be scheduled to speak to different organizations, from hometown clubs to Memorial Student Center committees to fra ternities and sororities. “It will be a question and answer session to tell what’s going on in Stu dent Government,” Royall said. The department also will sponsor an issues and grievances committee that will meet about every two weeks, he said. “Anybody can come and sit down and raise their hand about a prob lem or complaint,” Royall said. “It’s a way to get Student Government to the students.” Internally, the committee will help inform Student Government members about the workings of the government and the duties of their Titanic (continued from page 1) and had come close to finding the vessel, Lau-zon said.

Another project is the installation of 11 Student Government informa tion boards across campus within the next couple of weeks. The boards will include Student Senate sched ules, weekly agendas, copies of legis lative bills, committee meeting an- nouncements and member selections, and Student Government events. Executive Vice President Lindsey Dingmore said the purpose of the increased communication efforts is two-fold. Slouch By Jim Earle “Can we have a roommate-to-roomnune discussion?" “One is our (Student Govern ment’s) image among the student body,” he said. “It’s no secret that students at A&M are not confident with their Student Government and therefore don’t utilize the services that Student Government offers. I feel like our attendance level is not what it could be and we attribute that to bad communication on our part.” “Second, we are known as Student Government and students should have a general idea of what Student Government does,” Dingmore added. Group seeking volunteers to clean up Texas shores Associated Press AUSTIN — Texans are being in vited to pick their favorite lake next Saturday and help clean the trash off its shores. “We are aiming at seven picked lakes but if anyone wants to select another lake to clean up, they are welcome to it,” George Bristol, chair man of the Texas Conservation Foundation, told a news conference Tuesday. Bristol said the sponsors of the second annual Texas Lakeshore Cleanup are hoping for 1,500 volun teers to pick up trash around reser- oiis at Somerville, Grapevine, tali y I he Pines, Lewisville, 0.C Fisher, Sam Rayburn and Waco—a any other lake Last year, about 600 voluntetn picked up 51 tons of trash at Ss Rayburn, Grapevine and Lewisvj(| Pat Helton, president of the Bo* ing Trades Association of Texat presented Bristol a SI0,000check« help pay for the cleanup. “We want* to have plenty of rt freshments, prizes and trash bags* that everyone will have a good ant productive time,” Bristol said. dition program funded by the U.S. Navy. “The primary purpose of the dive was not to find the Titanic,” Lauzon said. “It was to do engineering tests on the Argo.” The Argo’s camera showed the first pieces of a boiler from Titanic early Sunday morning, Lauzon said. ll P about 13,000 feet.
