Woman mayor eases Texas town
through rapid expansion, changi
f;
Associated Press
PONDER — She’s made book
cases, helped to build a patio,
painted umbrellas and sun visors at
craft shows and written children’s
books when time allowed. One of
her goals now is to learn how to bake
bread. Her other goal is help the city
of Ponder get through a transitional
period.
“Ponder is growing fast, and we’re
having to make a lot of changes be
cause of that growth,” Jo Montague,
the mayor of Ponder, said. “I just
want to make this a better commu
nity for everyone. We have to sup
port the laws we already have. Some
of them are just not being used. It’s
hurtful in a lot of ways because some
people can’t do what they used to.”
And it is what she used to do that
helps her to do what she does now.
‘T became interested in politics in
77 when I lived in Denton,” Monta
gue said. “I was a member of the
League of Women Voters and was
selected ‘Outstanding Woman of
America’ for two consecutive years.
The league taught me a lot. 1
learned to really study the issues and
to be precise.
“When I moved to Ponder, I
started attending the council meet
ings and became involved. The last
council voted in a planning and zon
ing committee and I was a member
of that, but I think the league helped
me more than anything.”
Montague says she had not con
sidered running for mayor until sev
eral people encouraged her to "go
for it.”
“I thought I would take the
plunge,” the mayor said. “It seemed
like a good idea for a person not
working full time to take care of the
city.”
jfifty-nine votes and six months
later, she hasn’t regretted that en
couragement.
“I’m enjoying it. I have a good
council. They're knowledgeable,
able to discern fairly. They're not
prejudiced. They want the same for
everybody. They’re able to take con
cepts,” Montague said.
The all-male council also is able to
accept that their mayor is a woman.
“Being a woman mayor is a new
thing to men and women,” Mos;
gue said. “I don’t believe that then

Campus groups help candidates
Students have impact on elections
By SCOTT SUTHERLAND
Staff Writer
Don’t be fooled by low student
turnouts at election time. Students
are involved in politics. Members of
student organizations say students
can make a difference in campaigns.
“Sometimes the only support a
student can offer is their boay,” says
Kathy Poole, vice president of Texas
State Young Democrats. “But in East
Texas, that made a big difference.”
Poole, a former Texas A&M stu
dent, is referring to the recent race
in U.S. Congressional District 1 — a
hard-fought contest between under
dog Democrat Jim Chapman and
heavily favored Republican Edd
Hargett, a former Aggie quar
terback.
With help from the GOP, Hargett
outspent Chapman by over
$500,000, but was unable to win.
Hargett led Chapman in Harris
polls only a month oefore the elec
tion and newspapers reported that
the race was over.
But Poole encouraged members
of Young Democrats to volunteer
their services to Chapman.
“Our efforts made quite a bit of
difference in the Chapman race,”
Poole says. “We were a vital part of
the campaign.”
John Hatch, president of A&M’s
Young Democrats, says the Aggie
organization lent a hand in the cam-
paign.
“We were going down there on
weekend shifts,” Hatch says. “Ten
would go one weekend and 10 the
next.
“We were amazed how unin
formed voters can be. Some still
thought we had a poll tax and they
couldn’t afford to vote.”
Bruce Robeck, a professor of po
litical science and a political column
ist for the Bryan-College Station Ea
gle, says stuaents can participate in
all phases of the campaign process.
But, he says, students aren’t nor
mally recruited just to work.
“Students may or may not be good
workers,” Robeck says. “For candi
dates they are a recognizable interest
group. Tney encourage other young
people to vote.”
Campus political organizations
"We were amazed how
uninformed voters can be,
some still thought we had
a poll tax and they
couldn’t afford to vote. ”
— John Hatch, president
of Aggie Democrats
also are encouraging other students
to join their groups.
Because of the strong showing Re
publican candidates made at A&M
in last year’s elections, Hatch says
members of Aggie Democrats have
their work cut out for them in trying
to turn the tide before the 1986 gov
ernor elections.
Hatch says this semester he wants
to show Aggies that “Democrat” is
not a dirty word.
“I think students at A&M need to
see who the Democrats are,” Hatch
says. “People like Kent Caperton,
Henry Cisneros, Garry Mauro and
Lloycl Bensen are leaders we are
proud of. I believe if A&M students
were familiar with these men they
would find a lot in common with
them.”
Mike Hachtman, Aggie GOP
resident, says he is fortunate to
ave so many students on his side,
but he still has to work to keep it that
way.
“We conducted the largest colle
giate voter registration drive in the
country last year,” Hachtman says.
“At A&M, with a student oody
that has 80 percent registered Re
publicans, we assume that eight of
lO students we register will vote Re
publican in the next election.”
And Hachtman says the GOP
members enjoy getting involved in
campaigns.
“We supplied literally hundreds
of volunteers for the Reagan-Bush
headquarters in Bryan-College Sta
tion, and quite a few for Richard
Smith in his race for the Texas
(House),” Hachtman says. “And we
are encouraging our members to
start getting involved in campaigns
now, because candidates are asking
for people.”
In Austin, the University of Texas
has two active student political orga
nizations.
During the 1984 presidential elec
tion, Millicent John, chairman of
University Republicans, said her
1,000 members manned phone
banks and placed hundreds of signs
in the Austin area.
And, she says, in 1986 they’ll be
ready for the Texas governor’s race.
“I’d say 75 percent of our mem
bers will be involved in that cam
paign,” John says.
