Student Senate views regent seat plan
The Texas A&M Student Sen
ate on Wednesday will consider a
measure that eventually might
get a student a voting seat on the
Texas A&M Board of Regents.
The bill — to be presented at
the Senate meeting Wednesday
at 7:30 p.m. in 204 Harrington —
would create a committee to ad
dress the issue of a student re
gent.
The committee would be com
posed of the student body presi
dent, the speaker of the Senate,
the speaker pro tempore of the
Senate, two members of the A&M
Legislative Study Group and two
other senators. It would replace
the ad-hoc committee that has
been researching the issue this se
mester.
The Senate also will decide
whether to approve eight pro
posed members to the Student
Government Judicial Board and
will hear the reports of committee
chairmen.

A&M fraternities
experience rush
of new members
By Rick Cummings
Reporter
Participation in fraternity rush
more than doubled this fall because
of new recruiting measures and
changing attitudes toward fraterni
ties, Interfraternity President Ste
phen Parker said.
Parker said new methods of tar
geting rush toward freshmen are
probably the most important reasons
for the rise in fraternity mem
bership.
The council sent rush brochures
describing the 25 IFC fraternities to
incoming freshmen, Parker said.
There also were IFC representa
tives at all freshman orientation con
ferences and at Fish Camp for the
first time.
Out of an estimated 600 men who
went through rush, 461 pledges
were taken by the 25 fraternities,
Parker said.
Fraternities experienced an in
crease from an average of 10
pledges last year to an average of
about 19 this year, he said.
This boosted the number of men
in IFC fraternities by 33 percent —
from around 900 last year to more
than 1,200 this year, Parker said.
“As far as getting people to go
through rush and having a greater
number of people being invited to
join the system, I was pleased,” Par
ker said.
An IFC-sponsored smoker (infor
mational meeting) was attended by
211 rushees during the first week of
rush, he said. This was different
from last year, when only 50 at
tended, Parker said.
Charles Goodman, a Department
of Student Activities adviser, also
was happy with the turnout.
“I was real pleased with the num
ber of young men going through
rush and those who pledged,” he
said. “The quality was good.”
Individual fraternities also were
excited about the increase in ru
shees. Britt Terrell, president of
Tau Kappa Epsilon, sees the num
ber of rushees this fall as a positive
sign.
“Traditionally, our fall pledge
classes have been small, with our
larger ones in the spring,” he said.
“We took 25 pledges this fall and I
am very happy with the quality.”
The amount of rushees this fall
could be an indicator of a brighter
future for Greeks at A&M.
John Coffey, president of Phi
Delta Theta, said he was shocked at
the number of people going through
rush and he predicted that the sys
tem will continue to expand in the
future.
“I can see the Texas A&M Greek
system growing from the 3 percent
(of the student population) it is now,
to 30 to 50 percent within the next
five to 10 years,” he said.
Fraternity leaders said IFC defi
nitely has some hard work ahead,
and the changing attitudes on the
A&M campus as well as quality lead
ership are tools for progress.
Theta Chi President Craig Calk
said he sees men going through rush
who are genuinely interested in join
ing fraternities rather than just
going to parties.
“Because of the growing popular
ity of the Greek system, more guys
are going through rush so they can
be a part of something established
that has a true interest of the school
at heart,” Calk said.
“This growth is giving every fra
ternity an even chance,” he said.
Sororities also have experienced
an increase in membership this fall,
but Panhellenic Society members
said figures were not available at this
time.
Goodman said A&M has the po
tential to become one of the top
Greek systems in the nation.
“I think with good hard work the
perception that Greeks can’t be good
Ags will change,” he said.
IFC has become established at
A&M, Parker said, and it will con
tinue to grow. IFC already has plans
to accommodate this growth, he
said.
“When the present chapters get as
large as they want to be, we’ll simply
invite more chapters into IFC as the
need arises,” he said.
