Whitmire
discusses
personal life
Associated Press
HOUSTON — Four years ago,
Houston Mayor Kathy Whitmire re
fused to talk about her personal life,
but she says she’s willing to discuss
her romance, marriage and lifestyle
since she’s proven she can handle
her job.
During the past few months,
Whitmire, who is seeking her third
term as mayor of the nation’s fourth
largest city, has changed her
hairstyle from a “Tootsie” look of
soft curls to a shorter, straighter and
blonder look.
She says that she didn’t change
her hairstyle for the upcoming elec
tion, but after 4V-> years of the
“Tootsie” look, it was time for a
change. '
Whitmire still wears business suits
to work every day —“just like a man
would always wear a suit to the of
fice” — and has a strong will.
She said she vowed always to look
“businesslike, professional and may-
oral and all those things” because as
a young woman in an elected posi
tion, she said it was important to be
taken seriously.
“Now, four years later, I don’t
think anybody has any doubt as to
whether I can do the job,” she says.
“And so I don’t think that (always
looking the part) is any longer necce-
sary.”
Whitmire said questions about her
love life don’t bother her.
“I don’t resent it because I’d like
to know about the romances of other
people in high places,” she says.
Attending functions alone was
something Whitmire had to get used
to when her husband died nine years
ago following a lengthy illness.
Of marriage she says, “I certainly
haven’t ruled it out but I haven’t set
that as a specific goal either.”
“I don’t know” about children, the
mayor says. “I’m getting pretty old,
so I just don’t have any specific
made-up plans. That’s something I
have missed. Whether I’ll ever have
any of my own is something I don’t
know.”
Whitmire says she doesn’t under
stand why she’s considered humor
less but admits, “I’m not one of the
people who grabs the floor at a
party.”

MSC Council to discuss
program evaluation
By MEG CADIGAN
Staff Writer
A new program approval proc
ess will be discussed tonight at the
third regular meeting of the 3bth
Memorial Student Center Coun
cil.
Denis Davis, MSC Council
president, said the new process
will ensure that programs are
carefully evaluated before they
are carried out.
T he Standing Committees are
a primary resource for the MSC
Council, because they are made
up of committee chairmen.
These chairmen are closest to
the progress and problems of the
MSC, Davis said.
“These committees are where
the detailed delilieration of the
Council takes place,” Davis said.
The budget and the marketing
plan are two criteria on which the
programs are to be evaluated, she
said.
“This leaves the Council free to
set the medium to long range
goals of the organization,” she
added.
During the meeting, the 13
MSC Standing Committees will
be enacted, Davis said.
The committees are made up
of 18 to 24 MSC committee chair
men and administrators and
cover a wide number of areas
such as Budget Review, Building
Operations and various program
review committees.
Davis said the Council also will
discuss MSC computer needs and
appoint a committee to workout
the immediate lack of computer
time and space and to plan for fu
ture computer needs.
Also, assignments of MSC com
mittee advisers will be completed
and a new organizational chart
will be approvea.
