Stadelmann said A&M stu
dents like Limbaugh because he
serves as a corrective for "the bias
in the national media."
Limbaugh is also a critic of
multiculturalism, and Hensarling
said the decision by A&M to re
quire classes in multiculturalism
for liberal arts majors will be a
factor in getting him to come.
Limbaugh currently has the
top rated radio talk show and has
a successful late-night television
talk show as well.
Both his books, "The Way
Things Ought to Be" and "See, I
Told You So" reached the number
one spot on the New York Times
Best-Seller List.
"I'm optimistic he'll be com
ing," Stadelmann said. "He
knows of the response Republican
speakers like Vice-President
Quayle and Oliver North re
ceived."
The election rally for Quayle
was the largest ever of his politi
cal career, Stadelmapr^said.

of the entire System in a speech to
the Christian Coalition at Texas

should also stop naming build
ings for sitting Regents; what kind
of message does that send?"
Ogden said he has mixed feel
ings about the prospects of having
a non-voting student on the
Board, because the student will
not necessarily be from A&M, but
may be from one of the other
schools in the A&M System.
"My concern is to improve the
leadership, conduct and integrity
of our Board of Regents," he said.
"But I know a lot of students at
Texas A&M University who could
make big improvements in those
areas."
Ogden said recent allegations
that Regents used state money to
buy alcohol also concerned him.
"The state appropriations bill
prohibits the use of state funds to
purchase alcoholic beverages," he
said. "I don't think leaders
should have double standards."
