• Because of the low rate of par
ticipation in student elections, it’s
wrong for a student lobby to claim it
represents the student body.
• Those voting in student elec
tions make their decisions on the ba
sis of candidates’ stances on campus,
rather than state or federal, issues.
Munisteri said student lobbies
aren’t the only resource students
have in communicating with legis
lators.
“Students have their freedom
right now,” he said. “And nothing
prevents any student from being
able to voice his opinion at the Capi
tol, to organize, to represent a politi
cal group.
“All we’re saying is, ‘If you want to
be politically involved in the Capitol
— fine. But don’t use mandatory
student service-fee money. You are
forcing every student in this univer
sity to pay for a handful of students’
own political involvement and that’s
wrong.’ ”
Although an A&M branch of the
YCT is reorganizing after a few
years’ absence from campus, the or
ganization as a whole has made its
presence known here.
In a February letter sent to LSG
Director Alan Moore and A&M
President Frank Vandiver, an Aus
tin attorney representing the YCT
warned that legal action might be
taken against LSG if it refused to
cease its lobbying activities.
The YCT’s attorney, Howard A.
Hickman, wrote that LSG actions
were in violation of state law and his
clients’ constitutional rights of free
dom of association. He also cited a
November 1985 lawsuit filed by the
YCT and Munisteri against Attorney
General Jim Mattox, UT President
William Cunningham and UT Stu
dents’ Association President Scott
Scarborough.
The plaintiffs in that case con
tended the UT Students’ Association
used student service fees to buy ad
vertising space for political endorse
ments in UT’s campus newspaper,
the Daily Texan. The matter was set
tled out of court in January, after
which time the court concurred with
YCT’s contentions.
In the wake of the attorney’s let
ter, Moore said he’s concerned that
the way in which LSG operates may
be misconstrued.
He said LSG is a privately funded,
diverse, non-partisan organization
that exists to “identify and research
issues in higher education and for
mulate a position that we feel is in
the best interests of the students of
A&M — contingent upon ad
of the Student Senate.”

said. “We’re going after a fairly
narrow market, that is those that
have some legitimate reason for
being here. So that’s a limitation
in itself.”
All prospective tenants must be
approved as to qualifications for
occupancy by the Facilities Re
view and Advisory Board.
As part of the criteria for occu
pancy, consideration will be given
to a firm with a logical tie to the
University, including whether it
will hire students, and whether it
will contribute Financially or
otherwise to the University.
With the added criteria, A&M
hopes to create jobs for students,
opportunities for faculty in con
sulting and research, and a
chance for students to get jobs af
ter graduation. Money said.
Compared to other facilities,
however, the park is on or ahead
of schedule. Stanford, North Car
olina, and the University of Utah
represent the successful univer
sity-related research parks. The
first two have been in business
over 30 years and Utah began 18
years ago.
“Even though we have started
at a fairly modest pace, we are ac
tually at about the same rate as
Stanford and ahead of the rate of
Carolina,” Money said. “It took
them seven years before they got
their second building started.”
Research parks have to get
started on the right foot and then
people are attracted to them by
the publicity they get and it feeds
on itself, he said.
“I see us moving slowly up to a
critical mass of three to five build-
ings,
will go quicker from there.’
Currently only one-third of the
land planned for the park — 120
acres out of 430 — has been de
veloped.
At this time the park houses

renewal, the building and land

The building for the Ocean

“We hope to gain prestige and
the interest of other research-
oriented entities like the ocean
drilling project,” he said. “I hope
ible to h<
our own industry from the re
search of Texas A&M. That will
be the true test of success.”
WASHINGTON (AP) — Former
White House aide Michael K.
Deaver pleaded innocent Thursday
to charges he lied to a congressional
committee and a grand jury that in
vestigated his lobbying business for
possible ethical violations.
Deaver entered his not-guilty plea
during a brief appearance before
U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfleld
Jackson, who set a trial date of June
8.
Asked if he waived a reading of
the five-count indictment, Deaver
said: “I do, and I’m not guilty, your
honor.”
“Very well,” said Jackson, who
asked il Deaver wanted a jury trial.
“We certainly do,” replied defense
attorney Herbert J. Miller.
Jackson, who scheduled the trial
for June 8, released Deaver, Presi
