Off-campus students will have
their voice represented by 20
elected senators.
The number of senators also
was reduced by eliminating sec
tions in the previous statute,
which called for representation
for international students, grad
uate students and students living
in University Owned Apart
ments.
Hampton said all students will
be represented either by college
or residence.
“We (Student Senate) don’t
need to be dividing the student
body into sub-groups according
to race or religion,” he said. “If
we did, we would have to rep-
Gender
resent all kinds of sub-groups
within the student body.”
Charles Phipps, rules and reg
ulations chairman, pointed out
that graduate students have their
own student council.
“They still will be represented
by the Student Senate by appoint
ing a graduate student liaison,”
he said.
In other business, the Senate
passed Bill 91-7 introduced by
Senator John Ansbach.
The bill stated that the student
body will no longer elect chair
persons for Student Government
Academic Affairs, External Af
fairs, Student Services and Fi
nance committees.
Instead, a selection committee
will nominate two candidates af
ter reviewing applications. The
Senate then votes for one.
A bill proposing off-campus
workers to be ineligible for pre
registration was introduced by
Senator Glen Taylor. However,
the bill was referred to the Aca
demic Affairs Committee for fur
ther discussion.
Taylor said out of the 6,200
students who registered early last
semester, 4,200 were working
students, not honors students. He
says the large turnout stems from
students abusing this privilege.

rould be more important to the leg
islature than an individual country’s
|desires, Collester said.
He added that the “sovereign
imodel” for a nation’s government,
under which problems like environ-
imental destruction are seen solely as
;a country’s internal concern, was be-
gcoming obsolete.
“With Chernobyl, we asked why
the Soviets used inept equipment,”
'Collester said. “With the deforesta
tion in Amazonia, who pays the
iprice?
“Europe is the drawing board for
world architecture. The European
Community is not making history,
it’s making a future.”

The ruling came after two UT
women filed a complaint last fall
when they were denied membership
in the all-male Longhorn Hellrais-
ers.
Certain organizations, such as Ag
gie Hostesses, Aggie Men’s Club or
Diamond Darlings, by virtue of their
name or activity, are single-sex orga
nizations, Adair says.
“The name and activity of some
organizations may not be inviting
enough so the opposite sex will want
to join,” Adair says.
Aggie Hostesses is an all-female
organization that helps the athletic
department recruit prospective stu
dent athletes, particularly for foot
ball, says Angela Green, coordinator
Continued from page 1
for Aggie Hostesses.
Green says Aggie Hostesses do
not have any men in the organiza
tion because male athletes act as
hosts for prospective student ath
letes.
“The guys that help us are play
ers,” Green says. “They offer re
cruits a perspective of what life is
like as an athlete at A&M.”
Penny King, adviser to the Di
amond Darlings, says the organiza
tion does not specify that their mem
bers have to be men or women, but
she does not think that men would
want to join. Diamond Darlings, an
all-female organization, promotes
the baseball team, works the stands
to collect foul balls and helps take
statistics in the press box, King says.
“We never had a male try out, but
there is nothing to keep him from
doing so if he wishes,” King says.
The Aggie Men’s Club, a Chris
tian fellowship group, is an all-male
organization. Adviser Timothy
Gronberg says gender has never
been an issue with the Aggie Men’s
Club.
“This organization is more of a
support group,” Gronberg says. “It
provides an alternative to regular
fraternity kind of service.”
Gronberg says although The Ag
gie Men’s Club does not have women
in its membership, it does have a
little sisters program.

was trying to wage “a just war in a
; just way,” trying to minimize
damage to civilians and to reli
gious and cultural sites.
He repeated a warning to Sad
dam that any use of chemical or
biological weapons “will have the
most severe consequences.”
Baker did not say what actions
the United States might take in
such circumstances. “They could
be both political and military,” he
said, hinting that Bush might
then try to remove Saddam from
power.
The secretary also looked
ahead to the postwar Middle East,
calling for healing not only the
wounds of gulf states but also
“the rest of the region which
needs it so badly.”
That includes the resumption
of a search for reconciliation be
tween Israel and Palestinians liv
ing in the occupied West Bank
and Gaza strip. Baker said. “In
the aftermath of this war ... there
may be opportunities for peace, if
the parties are willing,” he said
Treasury Secretary Nicholas
Brady was questioned by mem
bers of the Senate Budget Com
mittee about “foot-dragging” on
the part of the allies in honoring
their commitments.
“This is a matter of daily con
cern in the Treasury,” Brady re-
E lied. “We want to make sure the
illing process is up to date.”
Gorbachev tightens grip,
demands union of republics
MOSCOW (AP) — Mikhail S.
Gorbachev made a surprise tele
vision appearance Wednesday night
to declare his determination to hold
the country together and urge full
participation in the Kremlin’s refer
endum on the union.
“All my convictions are based on
preservation of the union,” the So
viet president said, sitting at a desk
to deliver a 15-minute address at the
beginning of the evening newscast.
“The Soviet Union is a super
power,” he said. “Huge efforts were
made to make it so powerful, and we
could lose it very quickly.”
It was Gorbachev’s clearest decla
ration to date that he will not let any
of the 15 republics secede. While ac
knowledging that areas were
brought into the union by force, he
said the fate of all now depends on
remaining in a common economic
system.
He did not, however, threaten
specific action against secessionist re
publics. He said only that lawmakers
should ensure everybody has the
chance to vote in a Kremlin-ordered
referendum March 17 on preserving
the union.
