to the area.
“Usually when there is a low
count, it is the low-income people
that aren’t counted,” King said.
Census workers in big cities will
walk around to count homeless peo
ple, he said, and if a person can’t re
spond, the worker will try to fill out
the form for them.
Everyone is urged to complete a
form, King said. Every resident
should receive a form, including
non-citizens and foreign students.
The Bureau will hand deliver
forms to rural residents who may
not have a mailing address, he said.
Campus residents can get forms
from the resident directors.
“If you don’t fill out your form,
you’ll get a phone call,” King said.
The bureau may send a worker to
a residence to insure a form is com-

money at the end of the semester,
like all meal plans were designed.”
Once the Point Plan became a
board meal plan, the name was
changed to Aggie Bucks, he said.
The food services department
treated Aggie Bucks like a meal plan
and decided that everyone had to
spend all of their money in the same
semester as their deposits, Powell
said.
Powell said that an average of $5
each was lost by students, but many
students did lose as much as $50.
Sarah Davis, a sophomore busi
ness administration major from San
Marcos, said she stopped using Ag
gie Bucks because she wasted money

the creation of a videotape showing
the positive and negative aspects of
multicultural interaction and its
mandatory viewing by all faculty.
“A videotape will help individuals
develop or improve on teaching ap
proaches that minimize racial insen
sitivities',” Price, a member of a mi
nority conditions subcommittee,
said.
Associate professor of history Dr.
Albert Broussard said the videotape
is important because many faculty
aren’t aware when they offend a mi
nority.
“A member of my department
said a racial slur three times during a
conversation where I was present,
and I’m sure he didn’t know he of
fended me,” Broussard said. “It then
dawned on me how big a problem it
is.”
An amendment was made during
the discussion of the resolution to in
clude women. After a lengthy dis
cussion centering around whether
women and cultural minority issues
should be included in the same reso
lution, the Senate defeated the
amendment 35-33.
“Our committee had a restricted
charge,” Price said during the dis
cussion of the amendment. “By
broadening the resolution, we are
weakening it. It would be much bet
ter to have two separate stronger
resolutions.”
In addition to the making of a vi
deotape, the full resolution states
that multicultural sensitivity be in
