victims’ rights

y DAPHNE MILLER
fThe Battalion Staff
I All of the Republican candidates
for Brazos County Court at Law,
Place 2, want crime victims to have
lore rights, since most of the candi
dates have been victims themselves.
Rod Anderson, William Burdett,
fichael Calliham and Steve Smith
|x)ke Tuesday at the Texas A&M
illege Republicans meeting.
Anderson has practiced private
law for two years, criminal law for
line and worked as Bryan’s chief
prosecuting attorney for seven
|ears. He said he has tried a number
If misdemeanor and civil cases.
“It takes experience and working
in the court system to do the job as
judge,” Anderson, a 1980 graduate
of St. Mary’s School of Law in San
Antonio, said.
He said he has seen things that do
work and things that do not work.
He said he supports victims’ rights.
Burdett said he has been a victim
of burglary four times, and it is time
for victims to have rights.
“I promise to make an impact on
this community by supporting vic
tims’ rights,” Burdett, a Southern
Methodist University Law School
graduate, said.
He said he also supports strict
nunishments for people convicted
for driving while intoxicated.
Burdett practiced private law in
Dallas upon graduation and moved
to Bryan-College Staion in 1982.
Calliham said he is qualified for
this office because he has practiced
law for 20 years and has been a
judge for 16 years.
“Qualified experience is the key
for office,” Callin am, a graduate of
Baylor University Law School, said.
He has served as Justice of the
Peace in College Station, and taught
business law and political science at
Blinn College and A&M. He said he
has dealt with numerous types of
civil and criminal cases.
Calliham said he supports victims’
rights and fair and impartial laws.
Smith said that because of his ex
perience, he knows what College
Station wants, and he is not going to
have to learn to be a judge.
“The accused should have all
rights,” Smith said. “I have been
firm with criminals in the past and I
will hold my reputation.”
He said he feels this way because
he too has been a victim of crime.
Smith, a graduate of the Univer
sity of Texas Law School, has prac
ticed law for 13 years, and he helps
train other municipal judges in Col
lege Station.

A new' decade brings new hope — not only for
Texas A&M, hut also for the world.
With hopes of increasing cultural awareness,
\&M and West Germany’s Georg August Uni-
ersity are participating in a student exchange
jrogram.
H David McGough, director of the MSC Jordan
Institute for International Awareness student ex
change program, said 10 German students and
Two advisers arrived at A&M Feb. 9 and will stay
for one month.
Although they are here during a regular se-
nester, the students are here on a strictly cultural
Idsit.
“They aren’t taking any classes, but they have
lisited some classes,” McGough said. “We made
contacts for them with people in the departments
(who are familiar) to what they’re studying in
>ermany.”
McGough said most of the students are inter
ested in agriculturally related fields, but there
are other students that have social and political
science as well as economic interests.
Martina Sonnenberg, a political science and
journalism major, said she has found A&M to be
quite different from her university in Gottingen,
about 20 minutes from East Germany.
The lectures are organized differently at
Georg August, she said. Rather than a straight
lecture from a professor, the students have more
time to discuss topics among themselves during
the class.
“We have two types of lectures,” she said. “One
kind, you are able to speak yourself and discuss
with other students working about some theme.
“The other type is when one teacher reads
something that he has written,” she said. “I think
that is most similar to your type of lectures.”
McGough said the students met with Dr. John
Koldus, vice president of student services. They
discussed the differences in Germany’s and
America’s education systems.
“They found it very interesting that people
here like Dr. Koldus — the people far up in the
administration — those people actually get to
know their students and have meetings with stu
dents,” McGough said. “Their administrators
only administrate, and they don’t have much
contact with the students.”
The students are staying in Bryan-College Sta
tion with host families affiliated with A&M. Son
nenberg said they spend some days together as a
group and others with their host families.
“We have visited farms and gone to cele
brations, and some of us went to Austin,” Son
nenberg said.
A delegation from A&M plans to leave May 22
for Germany and also will stay for one month,
McGough said.
“I don’t really know what to expect, but I’m
going to keep an open mind and not try to expect
too much,” tie said. “I think that if I expect too
much, I might be disappointed.”
The delegation consists of 10 A&M students
and an adviser, all of whom were chosen by an
application and interview process.

College Republicans meeting.
Frank Lewis Jr. and Dick Britten are run
ning for the office.
Lewis has lived in Brazos County all of
his life, and he has served as firefighter and
police officer.
“I am not asking you to vote for me be
cause I am a minority, but because I am
qualified to do the job,” Lewis said.
Most of the people who live in Precinct 4
are minorities, he said. These people
usually vote for Democrats, Lewis said, so
he needs support from the student body.
Lewis said that, as county commissioner,
he will try to get better equipment and more
employees for the fire departments, in
crease funding to fight crime and supple
ment funding to build better rural roads
and bridges.
Britten, Class of ’68, said he has the abil
ity to say what he thinks and be fair and
square with everyone.
“I agree with the saying, ‘A day’s work
for a day’s pay,’ ” Britten said.
He said that phrase reveals sincerity and
that is what he is about.
He supports waste management, Brazos
Beautiful and new industry.
