Poole said College Republican leaders cannot control all the ac tivities of an open meeting and will not try to prevent Clements 1 from attending future meetings. "Since we do hold open meet ings, and we are not an exclusion ary organization, we cannot dis courage him from attending," he Ring Continued from Page 1 These changes were made to reflect a stronger association with the A&M system and will be effec tive Sept. 1. Brian Walker, speaker of the Student Senate and candidate for student body president, said some students from Corpus Christi State University have written to Balfour, the company that makes the Aggie ring, asking that they be able to receive the ring as Aggies. In response, the Association of Former Students reminded Bal four that the Aggie senior ring is patented. Despite the patent. Walker is still concerned students from system schools could receive a ring similar to the Aggie ring. "All they have to do is change the founding date of A&M on the ring to the founding date of their "I've heard nothing but negetive things from students." -Brian Walker speaker of Student Senate said. To prevent misunderstandings. College Republican leaders want to be forewarned of the content of any literati*e that will be distrib uted at future meetings, Poole said. Clements told The Battalion Wednesday that the poem, which criticized gays serving in the mili tary, was intended to amuse the people at the meeting. The following is an excerpt from the first four lines of the 16- line poem: "Falling fairies from the sky. I broke a nail, oh, I could school to invalidate the patent," Walker said. Richard Haas, class of '70 and Association of Former Students member, confirmed that both Bal four and the ring office have re ceived calls requesting senior rings by students from CCSU and Texas A&I. He said it is not fair to give away the Aggie ring. "The Aggie ring is recognized across the room," he said. "Peo ple understand the struggle and sacrifice associated with the ring." Walker and other concerned Aggies have formed 12th MAN (Maintaining the Aggie Name) to prevent other schools from receiv ing the A&M ring. "I've heard nothing but nega tive things from students towards this," he said. "All I hear is hiss ing when students are told that Aggie rings may be given away." "Students need to stand up to say that Aggie rings shouldn't be shared with other students," he said. Haas agreed, "To bestow the honor of an Aggie ring on some one who has not achieved it is criminal, and it's fraud." Sara Winston, director of stu dent life at Corpus Christi State University, said the only time this issue has been brought up is when the CCSU president spoke about the university name change to in- MSC Barber Shop Serving All Aggies!

Playing as a true freshman last year, Pullig led A&M to a 4-1 record and a Southwest Confer ence championship. Pullig had his best day in an A&M uniform against Houston, completing 17 passes in 28 attempts for 272 yards. Slocum believes Pullig's best days are still ahead of him, but the injury could slow his devel opment. "He had performed well this !! spring and was getting better," _ Slocum said. "I was excited with the way he was throwing the ball and the way he had been han dling things. "I am concerned about him missing the work," he said. "He has not played any football since January 1 in the Cotton Bowl, Corey has had eight days plus the games he played in as a true freshman. But he did get in half of the spring." Student Continued from Page 1 Getting the student regent is the first step, then that regent must prove his or her worth, he said. Turner said in a press release that the Texas universities exist for the students; therefore, stu dents should be able to provide input to the regents on decisions which will directly affect them. "Students spend hundreds of dollars each semester on fees set by their Board of Regents, but have little opportunity for input on these issues," he said. "Stu dents should be able to voice their opinions at the time when theft gents are making such importau! decisions." Before reaching the Senate floor, the Senate higher education committee passed the bill Wednesday by a vote of 11-0. Kelley said he was unsure of the bill's fate before the vote, bul he said the bill passed becaused the strong effort of Texas A&M Student Body President Steve Seller and Texas A&M student lobbying group, the Legislative Study Group. According to Rep. Steve Og den's office, the House version o! the Student Regent bill has passed the House higher education com mittee and will he brought to the House floor sometime after Easter, Convention Continued from Page 1 Station," Meuret said. "The con vention is easier to organize where the chairman is, plus a lot has to do with A&M's reputation around the state." Around 300 students will par ticipate in the convention. The College Republicans is the largest youth-based political organiza tion in the nation, and the A&M chapter is the largest in Texas. Other Republican officials to be honored include Republican Party of Texas Chairman Fred Meyer, Texas Agricultural Com missioner Rick Perry and Repub lican Black Council President B1 Calhoun.

Poole said he could not specu late whether the poem was amus ing to anyone at the meeting. Although the College Republi cans opposes gays serving in the military, Poole said gays are wel come to join the organization. "(Sexual orientation) is not ask£d on our membership card," he said. "Membership and ad vancement is based on merit. The College Republicans has 1,056 members.
