If the vendors at the papal Mass
site in San Antonio expected to
make a huge profit Sunday, they
were mistaken.
Because of tight security by the
Secret Service and the San Antonio
Police Department, as well as low
crowd turnout, business fared
poorly.
Richard Davis, a vendor from
Chicago who has followed Pope
John Paul II on his nine-city, U.S.
tour, said business has been slow.
“Business in New Orleans was
much better than this,” Davis said.
“People here haven’t been buying.”
Papal committee estimates of at
tendance at the Mass were around
300,000 — 200,000 less than ex
pected.
However, a small crowd wasn’t the
vendors’ only problem in San Anto
nio.
A security guard told Davis to ei
ther leave the Mass site or be ar
rested.
“If you don’t vacate this area,
you’re going to be arrested," the
guard told Davis.
No reason was given as to why Da
vis had to leave.
San Antonio Police Department
Detective Alan Copeland said arrests
were made at the site, but he
couldn’t divulge any information
concerning them.
A San Antonio police department
desk sergeant said, “We’ve been told
not to give out any information to
the media by Sheriff Harlan Cope
land.”
Legal vendors on the site had to
pay up to $2,000 for spots along
walking routes.
San Antonio vendor Mark Susen
said, “We’ve spent about $1,000 in
order to sell here.
“Illegal sales and low crowds have
really hurt our business.”
Berniec Smith, a vendor from
Texarkana, said her $10 photo al
bums, featuring a picture of the
pope on the cover, weren't selling
because of blocked roads.
Police confiscated gl
tainers, beer and anytt

Hotel operators: Papal visit draws disappointing crowd:
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Last minute check
ins kept some hotels and motels from experienc
ing complete busts, but a number reported Sun
day that Pope John Paul IPs visit drew a disap
pointing crowd.
“We did manage to fill our rooms — barely —
last night,” said a La Quinta motel general man
ager who declined to give his name. “It’s the slo
west Saturday night we’ve seen in months.”
Hotel managers attributed most of the last-
minute cancellations they received to publicity
about the anticipated huge crowds or fears of
possibly severe weather. On Thursday, a violent
thunderstorm packing near hurricane-force
winds toppled two 12-story towers erected as part
of the altar for Sunday’s papal mass.
At the downtown Holiday Inn, reservations
were being cancelled Saturday at a rate of 10 an
hour.
General Manager Toni Mar land said Sun

A letter from the Dean:
Dear CBA Students:
Welcome to the College of Busi
ness Administration for the 1987-
88 academic year. As a newcomer
to Texas A&M University myself, I
look forward to the opportunity to
work with you in the future.
There are many factors which
help to make the CBA a partic
ularly attractive college in which to
work and study. We are one of the
five or six largest business schools
in the country in terms of full-time
enrollment; but, much more im
portantly, we are becoming in
creasingly recognized as one of the
leading business schools in the na
tion in terms of quality of faculty,
academic programs, and students.
You have available all the ingre
dients necessary to obtain a first-
class education, and I urge you to
take advantage of this opportunity
to develop your knowledge and
skills. Your dedication and com
mitment to learning now will be an
investment which will pay many
dividends throughout your career.
You should also realize that a
college education is more than just
a classroom learning experience. I
encourage you to take full advan
tage of the leadership devel
opment, service, and social oppor
tunities available in the College
“BSC serves
Each year presents new ideas
and new opportunities. The Busi
ness Student Council offers many
ways for you to take advantage of
these opportunities and get in
volved. For those of you new to
the College of Business, let me ex
plain the BSC.
First, each business organization
elects representatives from each
class to serve on the Council. The
presidents and vice-presidents or
their liasons are also members.
The council members then elect
their own officers. The Council
serves primarily as a link between
the business departments in the
college. We have our own head
quarters in the BSC Information
Desk which is in room 101 of the
Blocker Building. If you have any
questions about getting involved in
a business organization, BSC, or
any general question, come by the
information desk.

We have a lot planned this year
and a lot of enthusiasm. First, we
are already making plans for High
School Career Day which is Oct.
31. There will be tours of the
Blocker Building, panel dis
cussions, lunch, and a time to meet
and talk with prospective high
school students. If you would like
to help, please come by the BSC
Information Desk (rm 101 -
Blocker).
Next, plans for our ninth annual
Business Career Week are already
in progress. The week is scheduled

formed soon. This is your chance
to be involved. We will have a gen
eral meeting to form committees

Remember BSC sells scantrons,
pens, pencils, and blue books in
Blocker 101. Another service BSC
1 provides is the bulletin boards in
Blocker which each organization
uses to post its news.
With all the activities planned,
this promises to be a very exciting
year. I hope that each of you will
take advantage of what we have to
offer and become involved in the

BSC Retreat: Building Student Leaders
At a recent weekend retreat, mem
bers of the Business Student
Council planned events for the up
coming year, chose Career Week
chairmen, and just got acquainted.
One discussion centered on indi
vidual and personal elements
needed to build leadership effec
tiveness. Among the comments of
fered by council members, these
leadership characteristics were
noted:
A leader is one whose self-confi
dence inspires others’ productivity.
An effective leader, however, must
not only be self-confident but also
must recognize others’ strengths
and weaknesses. The leader must
be able to coordinate these within
the group so the whole becomes
stronger than its separate parts.
—Kelon Hall, Sigma Iota Epsilon
A leader must have a positive out
look and an open mind to others’
ideas and opinions.
—Christy Garcia, Delta Sigma Pi
A leader should be able to delegate
authority well so that all problems
and praise do not fall to him alone.
—Terry Heeringa, Delta Sigma Pi
Leadership needs to hear the neg
ative aspects of every endeavor so
goals for improvement can be
made.
—Rob Deuenport, IBA
A leader js someone who can take
a diverse, unstructured group and
turn them into an efficient and pro
ductive team.
—Everett Hurst, BAS
Good leaders are always willing to
make decisions that are best for
their group, not just the ones the
leader prefers.
—Eric Kelly, DPMA
A leader needs to gain the respect
of his peers as well as his subordi
nates, in order to motivate effecti
vely.
—Annette Birdwell, Alpha Kappa
Psi
A leader needs to be honest to the
people being led.
—Sam Mize, DPMA
Accepting the consequences of his
actions and the actions of his group
is an essential quality of a leader.
He must also follow any task or
goal to the end.
—Becky Black, CBA Honors
A leader must be willing, in some
situations, to set that “top dog”
postion aside and follow. This
shows that the leader is open-
minded to new ideas and sugges
tions.
--Rhonda Hohertz, Accounting
Society
A leader needs to have patience -
to put different ideas together and
to reach difficult goals.
--Monica Marek, CBA Honors
Decision making is the key attrib
ute. A leader must be able to justify
his decision and provide informa
tion to back it up.
—Randy Johnson, Alpha Kappa
Psi
A leader needs to respect the abili
ties and talents as well as the limita
tions of each of his workers in or
der to effectively allocate
responsibilities.
—Greg Smith, CBA Honors
A leader must coordinate and mo
tivate the people under him to do
the extent of producing the great
est positive output.
—Gerard Monsivaiz, BA Society
