J-Board orders special runoff for RHA seat
By GINA HOWARD
77ie Battalion
Texas A&M University Student
Government will hold a special
runoff election Tuesday to fill the
position of Residence Hall Asso
ciation (RHA) vice president of
student development.
The Judicial Board ruled Thurs
day that a runoff was necessary
between candidates Janel
Schroeder and Tim McGinty be
cause of a vague election rule.
The wording of a section in
election rules and regulations
states, "the winners shall be de
cided by a majority vote (fifty per
cent or more of the vote)."
Schroeder, a freshman business
administration major, received 13
of the 26 votes cast, and McGinty,
a junior economics major, re
ceived four.
Originally, the Election Com
mission ruled Schroeder the win
ner, but McGinty appealed the de
cision to the Judicial Board which
decided 50 percent did not consti
tute a majority and called for the
runoff.
The special election will be
held from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the
Commons and Sbisa Dining Cen
ters.

commissioner, said election prob
lems stem from vague rules and
regulations.
"The rules and regulations
need to be revised," Cook said.
"Hopefully in the future they will
be more specific and we won't
have problems like this one."
During the hearing, the board
heard debate from Election Com
missioners and Mark Rollins, a
senior yell leader and spokesman
for the cadets.
Rollins said it was ridiculous to
think cadets would vote only for
candidates on the memorandum.
"This is taking the Corps of
Cadets as blind followers,"
Rollins said. "We are being perse
cuted for being organized. Just
because we are an organization
does not mean we are all follow
ers."
Haraway, who spoke as a wit
ness, agreed with Rollins.
"You can't assume just because
I publish a memo means the
cadets will only vote for those
candidates," he said. "I didn't
say 'Here's a list of all CTs, go
vote for them.' My intent was not
malicious."
Michelle Campbell, election co
commissioner, said that was not
in question.
"The issue isn't how they vot
ed," she said. "It's because it was
campaign material and the Elec
tion Commission has the sole au
thority to define campaigning."
Brian Walker, student body
presidentelect, said the Judicial
Board can only decide whether
the memo was legally right, not if
it was morally right.
"I couldn't fine a cadet candi
date for something Haraway did,"
Walker said. "We have to look at
how the Corps of Cadets is struc
tured. A fish has no control over
what Haraway does even if he
asks."
Campbell said she stands be
hind the board's decision.
"We (Election Commission)
did what we felt was right at the
time, but we support the Judicial
Board's decision," Campbell said.
"That's what the (appeal) process
is for."

Station, said going into the rival
bar to box was difficult.
"At first T was apprehensive
about it, but we got in here and
forgot we were in a bar. It was
just like a boxing gym, and I
didn't even think about it."
Rubio, whose face was swollen
from three days of boxing, said it
was difficult appreciating the ex
perience.
"Actually I don't know what
the hell I do it for - it's kind of
masochistic," he said. "It's just
one of those things - you put
yourself through hell and see how
much you can accomplish. It's
more of a relief - a relaxing feel
ing."
Jeremy Kerth, a member of Sig
ma Alpha Epsilon fraternity
which shared the Fight Night
Greek championship with the
Pikes, said he did not have any
fighting experience until he start
ed training two months ago in the
U.S. A. Boxing Gym in Bryan.
Kerth, who took the trophy for
the outstanding match, said he
trained on a punching bag, ran
and jumped rope, but said that
sparring with other boxers helped
him the most.
"You've got to feel what it's
like to be hit, because that takes a
lot out of you," he said. "You've
got to work out with somebody
else because when you're hitting
the bag you don't get that feel."
In the open divisions, Lee
Bridgeman won the welterweight
title, David Guzik won the light
middlewight, Lance Wadley
grabbed the middleweight, Cody
Stanaland took the light heavy
weight, and Barry McFadden won
the heavyweight.
For the rest of the Greek divi
sions, Brian Hardin won the light
middleweight title. Bill Yarnell
won the middleweight, and
Heath Barnes took the heavy
weight.
The event benefited a scholar
ship in the name of Michael J.
Tyler, a former student at A&M.
The amount raised was un
available at the time of publica
tion.

"I learned how to become the
perfect 'Uncle Tom,'" she said. "I
did everything I was supposed to
do, I never talked back to any
body, I got off the sidewalk when
ever a professor walked by. I
knew that was the only way 1 was
going to survive."
Unterberger wrote a prize-win
ning dissertation in two years
while teaching five classes and
raising a family. She said she was
offered her first job not because of
her strong professional creden
tials, but because her background
was varied which enabled her to
teach a mixture of courses.
Unterberger expanded her dis
sertation into a book, which was
reviewed by the former Soviet
Union's state-run newspaper,
Pravda. The newspaper labeled
her a "bourgeois revisionist and a
lackey of capitalism," which she
said actually helped her career
and opened doors for her.
Unterberger said she hopes the
amount of service universities de
mand from women won't go un
recognized.
Being the only woman in semi
nars and on committees, Unter
berger said she often felt "outside
the loop" and had to ask students
and professors to refer to her by
her title. She was later thankful
for the experience because it af
forded her an opportunity for in
trospection and self-discovery,
she said.
Unterberger, who began teach
ing at A&M in 1968, has taught all
over the world and credits both
hard work and good fortune for
her achievements. She said her
research opened doors and al
lowed her to speak authoritatively
on a number of subjects.
Women today have many more
opportunities, Unterberger said.
She feels one of her most impor
tant roles is as a mentor for stu
dents by helping them in situa
tions with which she's had experi
ence.
About equality Unterberger
said, "I used to pray at night,
'How come You gave me a mind,
if I'm not supposed to use my
head?"'
Because the
community is
everyone’s business ...
Almost everyone agrees that economic development is crucial to the
strength of our community.
David Hickson knows the importance of attracting new business and
promoting the expansion of existing ones. By reviewing the existing
vision for growth, Hickson believes the city can develop a solid founda
tion for the future and improve on the high quality of life associated with
College Station.
And so is the future.
