Spring Fling is "friendly com

Council . It is designed to encour
age interaction among graduate
students on campus, as well as
provide a well-needed break from
the stress and drudgery of gradu
ate studies. Holt said.
The activities include softball,
racquetball, volleyball, golf, domi
noes, billiards and basketball
tournaments. The softball, volley

The Battalion
Paul Henry is a man dedicated
to his students. He's not a profes
sor, but he is a seasoned instructor
in the laboratory of life.
Henry is the assistant director
of the Memorial Student Center,
and staff adviser to several MSC
committees, where he not only ad
vises his students, but helps them
out in other areas of their life
when necessary.
"I think Paul's strong point is
that he totally opens up to stu
dents because he enjoys what he
does so much," says Kevin Jack-
son, MSC associate director. "He
helps them see things in them
selves."
Staff adviser Eric Trekell says
Henry's strength is that he listens
to students and cares about what
they say.
"If a student comes in, he al
ways makes time to listen," he
says. "He makes time no matter
what it's about."
It may not seem like much, but
Trekell says it is important to the
students.
"Sincerity makes a big differ
ence," he says. "We deal with a lot
of students up her^. It's easy to let
it go in one ear and out the other;
you deal with so many students in
so many facets."
Henry works primarily with
three committees that are all gen
erally related in that they look to
wards developing professional
skills for future use.
The MBA/Law committee fo
cuses on programming for stu
dents interested in pursuing grad
uate degrees in business or law.
The Fall Leadership Conference is
an annual event for about 140 stu
dent leaders which tries to en
hance their leadership skills for
the coming academic year.
The Spring Leadership Trip re
wards about 50 senior student
leaders who have given a lot to
the University by taking them on
a cultural and educational trip to
Houston.
"All three of these areas are
very unique," says Henry. "Other
colleges and universities have stu
dent centers, but they focus on en
tertainment programming or topi
cal issue programming."
He says A&M's student center
is unique among student centers
in how it develops students to be
leaders at A&M and in the real
world. He says the lessons learned
while putting on programs are
utilized later in life while on the
job.
"What the students are doing
has real, practical results," he
says. "If you're not organized, you
won't get the right information
out at the right time, and you have
a disaster."
And while the students benefit
from their involvement in the
MSC, Henry gets his own reward
by seeing the students learn about
life.
"It's very rewarding to see stu
dents progress from general par
ticipation to an officer position
and eventually a higher-level po
sition," he says.
Before he came to the MSC,
Henry worked in the Residence
Life area of Student Affairs, and
before that he filled a similar posi
tion at Eastern Illinois University.
He obtained his undergraduate
psychology degree from the Uni
versity of Massachusetts at
Amherst and his master's in edu
cation from Springfield College.
Henry also spent two years off
campus in managerial positions.
After just a short time away from
A&M, he was ready to come back
and work with students.
"I missed the particular inter
action with students," he says.
"It's very rewarding to work with
highly motivated individuals.
When you get out in the so-called
normal working situation - you'll
probably be disappointed."
He chose working with stu
dents even though sometimes it's
hard on his wife and two children.
He keeps motivated by remem
bering why he became interested
in assisting students in the first
place.
"How can I impact the world
around me? That's the question I
ask myself occasionally. And the
answer is working with students,"
he says. "The neat thing is that
Texas A&M University has such a
mission for its students, and lives
up to that mission more than any
other college I've been involved
with.
"Obviously all universities are
going to say they provide the best
education possible, but I think
A&M really delivers that."
And A&M can be proud of its
student center thanks to the hard
work and dedication of advisers
like Paul Henry. But Henry is al
ways aware that his job wouldn't
exist without the students, which
is why he likes to put some fun
into all of his committees' activi
ties.
"There's a sense of enjoyment
satisfaction here that's special,"
Henry says. "I need to express it
in the word fun, but not in a fool
The MBA/Law Committee is one of three student organizations with which Pa|
Henry work closely.
ish sense."
Part of the fun Henry helps
impart to some of his students and
co-workers is his regular "cream
ery runs."
Co-worker Trekell explains
Paul's trips to the creamery on
West Campus as a motivational
thank-you.
"Paul has a weakness for ice
cream," he says. "So it's as much
for him as it is for the students. If
he feels they've done something
special, the creamery run is a spe
cial thank you."
Henry was rewarded in turn
by several of his students and co
workers when he won the John J.

ment Award in 1990, which isgiif
