CALL 696-3196 Wednesday, October 30, 1985AThe Battalion/Page 3 SG to keep open communications with Bryan Council By FRANK SMITH Staff Writer A Texas A&M Student Govern ment official said he will continue to seek open communications with the Bryan City Council, even though they failed to renew the student liai son position. Doug Baird, vice president of ex ternal affairs for Student Govern ment, said he probably will appoint a member of his committee to attend the council meetings as an alterna tive to not having an officially desig nated liaison. On Monday night, the council, which approved the establishment of a liaison position last year on a one- year trial basis, voted 4-3 against re newing the position for this year. “The whole purpose of the liaison position was for public relations be tween the Bryan City Council and Texas A&M University,” Baird said. “I think we have to actively strive to continue those relations even though we don’t have a liaison pos ition.” At Monday’s council meeting Baird presented councilmen with an outline of the reasoning behind the liaison proposal. The outline said that a liaison po sition would improve communica tions between the University and the council. It also said approximately 2,000 A&M students live in Bryan, affect ing the businesses and supporting the city with social services. Councilman Ben Hardeman sug- f ested that communications could e achieved just as effectively by hav ing a designated student regularly attend council meetings. “We have provisions for commu- going both ways with all ns of Bryan,” Hardeman nications the citizens said. “I think the opinion of the people who have spoken seems to be that there is no requirement, no need for any specific designation for your group because channels are already open for communications.” Councilman Pies Turner said, “I’m not anti-university students or anything of that nature, I just have a little concern about giving one group of citizens a benefit that we don’t give to the other groups.” Assistant City Manager Marvin Norwood was called upon to clarify the privileges given to a liaison. Norwood said the privileges are determined by the council. - He said last year’s liaison was sup plied with an agenda book, a re served seat near the mayor and council at council meetings and workshop sessions, and often was called upon to comment on subjects pertinent to Texas A&M. Generally, the liaison did not at tend executive sessions of the coun cil, he said. Mayor Marvin Tate spoke in favor of renewing the liaison position, say ing he thought the program worked smoothly last year. The council voted 4-3 in favor of a motion to deny the Student Govern ment request. Turner, Hardeman, John Mobley and C.P. Vass voted to deny the re quest. Tate, Helen Chavarria and Hank McQuaide voted for the rene wal of the liaison position. Following the vote, Hardeman told Baird not to interpret the vote as discouraging students from regu larly attending the council meetings.
