The responses do not nec essarily reflect the opinions of The Battalion staff. Do you support an A&M student on the Texas A&M University System Board of Regents? If so, should the student be a voting or non-voting member? Amy Fisher Senior — Economics Dickinson “I think it would be valuable to have stu dent presence, but one vote would not make that much difference. It could tend to cause problems within the working structure of the Board of Regents itself. ” Mark Trice Baylor Sophomore — Computer Science Mount Pleasant "Yes, it is essential that students have a say in their governing process as far as the administration is concerned. I feel the same thing goes for Baylor. I think it should be a voting member, because stu dent input needs to be heard. Michael Palos Senior — English-Political Science Missouri City "Yes, I would support a student because a student needs to be an integral part of the decision-making, whether it be in simple or diverse matters such as Financial mat ters. If the student has more of a voice, I think that is more of an important role than just being an adviser." Rick Brown Senior -— Accounting Mansfield, La. “I also think they should vote. Knowing so much about the University as a stu dent, the regent should at least be able to express their opinion through a vote. They should have equal power and as much authority as any other. ” Amy Angel Graduate Student — Ag Economics Longview “Fes, I do. Regents need to remember that universities were established primar ily for students. Students should have an influence and input into the Board’s deci sions. I think a vote would have to be in cluded. ” ml. % -4 MS Mm '■ ? > * I Joey McMurry Freshman — Computer Science Dallas "Yes, 1 do. I feel it would allow the stu dents a larger say in what goes on and get some concerns to the Board itself. At tirst try with a non-voting regent, and if that works switch to a voting representative. ” Paul Henry MSC assistant director for programs and services "Yes, I think it would be helpful to have a student participate on the Board of Re gents. It would be a non-voting member for a particular time period and then a re view would be helpful. ” Mayphous Collins Freshman — Business Management Houston "Yes, I do. The student would be an in formation source for the student body of A&M. I don’t think they should have a vote in the Board of Regents, but I feel the student regent could keep us infor med. ” Miriam Hidalgo Junior — Elementary Education San Antonio "I support this because the impact they have will be based on experience. A stu dent regent experiences what goes on around campus. ” Edwin Cooper Class of’53 Coordinator of special projects at Texas A&M Information Services "I think I would support having one in an advisory capacity — a non-voting mem ber. The Board is a governing hoard and it is a little too much to ask a student to vote on multi-million dollar projects when they haven’t had that experience.’’ ESMimm ( AROI.CO .m *«<*» ‘ wwjiii' wvwMkgK 1 COMING MARCH 1 =.»BBSfe MMM ' WtfSWte * v ^ lit: *We believe that good tasting Mexican food doesn’t have to be fried in deep vats of oil. 73m FREEB/RDS 319 University Dr., Northgate Next to the Texas Aggie Bookstore 846-9298 *
