Name change proposal
United
Continued from Page 1
Even if the rider is approved, state law will pre
vent it from going into effect. The Texas A&M Uni
versity Board of Regents decides name changes for
its system schools. The amendment to change the
names will only serve as a suggestion to the Regents.
Bill Clayton, a member of the Board, said he
doesn't think it's necessary to change the schools'
names, and the Board is only considering the pro
posal because of pressure from state representatives.
"The (Texas) senators in these areas want A&M
added to their schools," Clayton said. "They are the
ones forcing us into these discussions."
The Regents will meet in special session Friday at
3 p.m. to discuss the name changes.
State Sen. Carlos S. Truan, who proposed the bill
and represents the Corpus Christi and Kingsville
area, said these name changes are supported by
many state senators as well as his constituents.
"I feel I'm doing the right thing for the future of
students at these institutions," Truan said. "By be
ing directly associated and carrying the name of
Texas A&M University, we will attract more stu
dents."
Truan graduated from Texas A&I in 1959, and he
said the name change will increase the prestige of
his alma mater.
"I want Texas A&I to be associated with Texas
A&M in every sense of the word," Truan said.
E. Dean Gage, provost and senior vice president,
said the name changes may be an important concern
to the future of A&M.
"In long terms, association with universities in
south Texas may benefit us," Gage said. "This
would enhance the ties we already have with them."
"I have absolutely no problem with the name
changes because I'm convinced A&M has such an
identity and recognition that it will be identified as
'the' Texas A&M University," Gage said. "I believe
we will in no way lose the identity of the Universi
ty."
But there are many former students of both Texas
A&M University and other A&M System schools
who adamantly disagree with this point of view.
Haas said attaching A&M's name to these
school's only diminishes the prestige of A&M.
"I don't have a problem with these universities
trying to bring themselves up," he said. "I just don't
want them to bring us down."
Haas said A&M and the universities under con
sideration have strong traditions that would be com
promised if the name changes are approved.
"Through decades and decades, we have built
traditions and a reputation," Haas said. "People
from Texas A&I have different traditions. They
have no Muster or Silver Taps."
Haas said he and the other directors of the former
students association plan to voice these concerns to
the Board Friday.
Bill Hall, Class of '69 and an independent sales
representative and estate manager, said although he
lives in the Corpus Christi area, he opposes associat
ing A&M's name with Corpus Christi State Univer
sity.
"It's a well-known fact that there's something
unique about A&M," he said.
The schools also lack the same quality of Texas
A&M, Hall said.
"These schools have lower entry requirements,"
he said. "Even if these schools raised their require
ments, they could probably not maintain the number
of students they need to exist.
"These people can even say they graduated from
Texas A&M, and they wouldn't be lying," he said.
"Aggies have a right to be greedy with their name."
The name changes reflect Truan's ambitions
rather than the desires of people from these schools.
Hall said.
"He refuses to consider the wishes of these
groups," he said. "He has bypassed the authority of
the Board of Regents."
Hall said he does not oppose the name changes as
much as he opposes the way the changes were pro
posed.
"If this is what these universities want, so be it,"
Hall said. "But why not put it on its own bill so it
can go to committee and be properly considered."
Vannoy said prestige cannot be transferred from
one university to another by changing a name.
The University of Texas has attempted to transfer
prestige to its extension colleges and has failed, he
said.
"U.T. at San Antonio and Tyler and Pan Am are
good examples of places that share U.T.'s name but
none of its prestige," Vannoy said.
Vannoy said this is not Truan's first effort to get
the names of these universities changed.
"He has suggested this idea before and they (the
Board of Regents) have not accepted it," Vannoy
said. "This is his means of rubbing the Aggie's nose
in it, and showing them who's boss."

the pressures to raise money."
Van Dyke said the local orga
nization is growing rapidly, Bui
local Republican Party Chairman
Rodger Lewis said he doesn't see
the group as a threat to democrats
or republicans.
"It takes a lot to get on the bal
lot with any candidate for any po
sition," Rodgers said. "They're
(UWSA) not likely to get their
candidate's name on the ballot."
Whether UWSA/BV is suc
cessful at placing a candidate on
the ballot, Jim James, Brazos
County Democratic chairman,
said everyone benefits when peo,
pie get involved in politics.
"I think Ross Perot is a good
thing," he said. "He makes people
focus on issues and that benefits
everybody."
It is significant that Perot per
formed better in this area than in
other parts of the country during
the '92 presidential election,
James said.
"Perot's success reflects some
dissatisfaction with the majority
parties," he said. "He has a point;
both political parties have not
been as responsive as they should
have been in the past."
Van Dyke stressed that
UWSA/BV is not a political orga
nization for Ross Perot because
Perot currently is not a candidate.
"We don't know what the po
litical landscape will be in 1996,"
he said. "If Clinton is not success
ful, then I suspect we will see the
political landscape of the United
States splinter into four or five
political parties."
The Unites States is in big
trouble, and something needs to
be done. Van Dyke said.
"We think this country's at a
crucial turning point," he said
"The dangers of our nation at this
point are spiraling out of control."
