Editors plan more appealing, interesting products
By Troy Hall
The Battalion
Newly appointed editors of
The Battalion,
Aggieland
and Aggievi-
sio n plan
changes —
some drastic,
some minor
—within their
organizations
to make their
products
more appeal
ing and inter
esting.
The editors
were nominated by the Student
Publications Board on April 8
and approved Monday by Dr. E.
Dean Gage, A&M provost and
vice president for academic af
fairs.
Timm Doolen, Battalion editor
for the summer and fall, said he
hopes to make The Battalion an
improved product that will ap
peal to a variety of interests.
Doolen, a senior computer sci
ence major from Athens, Texas,
said two major changes will be a
Saturday edition on home foot
ball game weekends and an in
crease in the scope of off-campus
coverage.
"The Saturday edition will be a
balance of news, sports and fea
ture articles aimed at students,
parents and former students,"
Doolen said.
By increasing the coverage of
off-campus news, Doolen hopes
to appeal to more students living
off campus.
"Three-fourths of the
student pop
ulation, or
about 30,000
students, live
off-campus,
and we are
trying to ap
peal to their
interests," he
said.
Doolen
credits his de- Kelly Sweeney,
cision to make Aggieland editor,
changes to his three years expe
rience on staff.
"I've worked at The Battalion
for three years now," he said.
"In those three years, I haven't
seen any fundamental changes
at The Battalion as far as the
reader is concerned."
He said the ideas are bold, ag
gressive changes that will rede
fine certain areas of the paper.
Kelly Sweeney, next year's
Aggieland editor, said the Uni
versity yearbook will remain ba
sically the same.
"The layout of the book looks
good as it is now," she said.
Sweeney, a sophomore jour
nalism major from Henderson,
said she will focus on developing
working relationships with the
staff.
"The main thing with the Ag-
gieland is to work together to
make our job easier," she said.
Matt Kibler, next year's Aggie-
vision editor, said his goals are
to get more exposure for the vi
deo yearbook.
"Aggievision is a video year
book trying to
represent all
A&M organi
zations in a
60-minute
reduction,"
e said.
Kibler, a ju
nior market-
in g major
from San An- ... M ,
tonio, said he Ag-
plans to gievisioneditor.
change Aggievision's marketing
efforts to get the name through
out the campus.
All three editors encourage
anyone interested in a staff posi-
tion to apply.
Applications for The Battalion
for both summer and fall posi
tions are available now in 216
Reed McDonald.
Battalion summer editorial
board applications are due
Wednesday by 1 p.m., and fall
editorial board applications are
due by Friday at 1 p.m.
Staff applications for summer
are due on Friday. Applications
for fall staff are due on April 26.
Applications for the Aggieland
and Aggievision will be available
beginning Wednesday in 230

Lewis predicts tax increase to meet
state budget shortfall of $4.6 million
AUSTIN (AP) — It would be "foolish" to say a tax increase
will not be needed to fund the state budget, which likely will be
written in a special session around July, House Speaker Gib Le
wis said Monday.
The state faces an estimated $4.6 billion budget shortfall to
maintain services over the next two years.
"To say that we do not need a tax bill I think would be foo
lish," Lewis, D-Fort Worth, said.

Political Forum will sponsor Ogden meeting
MSC Political Forum is sponsoring a campus meeting with
state Rep. Steve Ogden, R-Bryan, at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday in
308 Rudder.
Ogden will be available for students to ask questions about a
possible tuition increase, student regent and other issues.
Two daytime home burglaries
in southern Brazos County were
reported to the Brazos County
Sheriff's Department the week of
April 1.
In both cases, a thief forced
open secured doors on the
homes, then searched and selec
tively stole several valuable
items. The thieves apparently
wanted jewelry and small items
that could be carried easily. Dis
tinctive items stolen were two
class rings, a gold high school
Class of '72 ring and a gold Bay
lor University Class of '55 ring.
If you have information that
could be helpful in identifying
the people responsible for these
burglaries, call Crime Stoppers
today at 775-TIPS.
This week the sheriff's depart
ment and Brazos County Crime
Stoopers need your help to iden
tify the people responsible for
these burglaries.
When you call you will be as
signed a special coded number
that will protect your identity. If
your call leads to the arrest and
grand jury indictment. Crime
Stoppers will pay up to $1,000 in
cash. Crime Stoppers also pays
for information on any felony
crime or the location of any
wanted fugitive.
