"I hope in the long run this is
better, but in the short-run it sets
us back," Wydell said. "I worry
about the identity of the A&M
name. A&M has gained nothing
from this."
Three regents whose terms ex
pired Feb. 1, Showers, McKenzie
and Douglas R. DeCluitt, partici
pated in the vote and will remain
on the Board until the three newly
appointed regents receive Senate
conformation. Regent Royce E.
Wisenbaker was unable to attend
the session.
McKenzie and DeCluitt voted
against all four changes, while
Showers voted against changing
A&I and West Texas. Mary Nan
West voted against the West
tend and pick up information.
"The fair is a way to bring the
off-campus community to campus
in a centralized process," Jones
said. No one has to sign leases or
make permanent decisions, he
said.
Representatives from local util
ity companies, campus food and
transportation services also will
provide information.
A local radio station will give
away compact discs and T-shirts.
Some of the apartment complexes
may give away door prizes as
well.
"I voted from the
heart, I was not influ
enced by any poli
tics."
-Wayne A. Showers
Texas name change only.
After the vote. Showers said he
voted the way he felt he should.
"I voted from the heart," he
said. "I was not influenced by
any politics."
The eight regents at the special
session meeting were linked
through the Trans-Texas Video-
conference Network to the four
schools involved in the vote.
Dr. Manuel Ibanez, president
of Texas A&I University, said,
"The changes will reflect the col
lective strength of the system
through a common identifier."
