Faculty Senate

By Jan Higginbotham
The Battalion
The Texas A&M Faculty Sen
ate will be working toward a pos
itive faculty-administration rela
tionship in the upcoming year
under the leadership of the new
Faculty Senate Speaker Mark
Weichold.
Weichold, who was elected at
the May meeting of the Senate,
said he hopes to see better com
munication throughout the Uni
versity.
“We need to be able to commu
nicate better to the outside world
and between ourselves,” Weichold
said. “It seems like we would be
ate is being seen with more re

“We have made big strides in
getting more input into adminis

ing quite often in the areas we
should be.”
James Morgan, 1993-94 Facul
ty Senate speaker, said he thinks
Weichold is just the person to
pursue the issue of facility gover
nance.
“During the last several years,
we’ve come a long way on the is
sue of shared governance,” Mor
gan said. “Mark -will do a good job

New Faculty Senate Speaker Mark Weichold, elected in May,
strives for an increase in faculty-administration communication
"I like to think of myself as a person who can lis

speaker is to listen to these people and consider
all of their viewpoints."

able to avoid some of our prob
lems if we sit down and talk
about things.”
Weichold is hoping to pursue
the issue of faculty governance
within the University.
“Faculty governance is a for
mal word for faculty input into
administrative decisions,” he said.
“Fd like to see the Senate enlarge
the involvement of the faculty in
the decision-making process of
the University. We’ve come a
long way. As the Senate is
around for a longer period of time,
we have a greater opportunity to
do that.
“We’ve matured,” Weichold
said. “The Senate is being taken
seriously and the role of the Sen-
when major decisions are made.”
Morgan said Weichold’s experi
ence should help him become an
effective leader for the Senate.
“He’s got the background to be
speaker,” he said. “He’s very
thoughtful about issues and is
good at listening to other people’s
concerns.”
Weichold said his ability to
work with others will help him in
his new position.
“I like to think of myself as a
person who can listen to a num
ber of viewpoints,” he said. “My
role as speaker is to listen to
these people and consider all of
their viewpoints.”
Pierce Cantrell, newly elected
deputy speaker of the Senate,
said he thinks Weichold’s past ex
periences in the group will be a
positive contribution.
“He’s progressed through the
Senate,” Cantrell said. “It’s im
portant the speaker have that
continuity.
“The Senate has been blessed
over the years with excellent lead
ership. Mark follows in that.”
Cantrell said Weichold’s
biggest challenge as Speaker will
be dealing directly with the facul
ty.
“The staff morale is low and
the faculty morale is also low,” he
said.
Cantrell said support from Dr.
Ray Bowen, president of Texas
A&M, will help the Senate accom
plish its goals for the new year.
“I feel real positive about Presi
dent Bowen,” he said. “He has a
real commitment to faculty gover
nance.”
Weichold said the relationship
of the Senate with Bowen will be
important in the upcoming year.
“The best opportunity this Sen
ate has is to get off to a goods
with the new president,” he
“Fm looking forward to work
with him.”
Weichold said the Senate
also concentrate on keeping d
of bad publicity.
“We (Texas A&M) have In
subject to a lot of bad publidt;
a lot of issues,” he said. “Thek
thing we can do is to run our
in the most spic and span way
can.
“If we keep our nose clean
the right thing, and abide by
rules, this will all pass.”
Weichold will serve as the!;
Faculty Senate speaker. Hi
only the second speaker who
graduate of Texas A&M.
This is Weichold’s 4th yea:
a member of the Senate,

Committee, and he acted as:

Baptists choose Rev.

Moderate Jim Henry upsets^
J < I Rev. Jack Graham of Prestonwood Baptist
Church in Dallas said Henry is a commit-
conservative Fred Wolfe
for Southern Baptist leader
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A Florida pas
tor was elected president of the Southern
Baptist Convention on Tuesday, upsetting
the candidate endorsed by the conserva
tive leadership of the nation’s largest
Protestant denomination.
The Rev. Jim Henry of First Baptist
Church in Orlando narrowly defeated the
Rev. Fred Wolfe, chairman of the conven
tion’s Executive Committee.
Henry received 9,876 votes to 8,023
for Wolfe.
The election was the first close presi
dential race since 1990, the last time mod
erate Baptists mounted a serious chal
lenge to the conservative leadership of the
convention.
This time, both candidates were theolog
ical conservatives, but Henry supported
less antagonistic relations with moderates.
Henry also was supported by Russell H.
Dilday Jr., whose firing in March as presi
dent of Southwestern Baptist Theological
Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas, shook up
many conservatives as well as moderates.
The seminary trustees said Dilday as
sailed individuals who believed in the liter
al truth of the Bible, but opponents said he
was let go for criticizing the “hardball poli
tics” of the current conservative leadership.
ted conservative who “will not polarize us.”
In an Associated FYess interview be
fore the election, Henry said his presi
dency would focus on “healing what has
been hurt and saying let’s get on with the
program.”
The election results were seen as a set
back for convention leaders who have
presided over a conservative takeover of
the convention since 1979, winning every
presidential election until this year.
The Rev. Charles Stanley of Atlanta, a
former SBC president, told convention del
egates in his nominating speech for Wolfe
that “I believe the wisest course for the
Southern Baptists at this time is to stay
the course.”
“I know that my election would be a sig
nal the conservative resurgence is going to
continue in the direction it is going,”
Wolfe, pastor of Cottage Hill Baptist
Church in Mobile, Ala., said in an inter
view before the election.
Henry, whose Orlando church has been
the biggest giver to the denomination’s na
tional causes over the last three years,
made one of his campaign themes the need
for reconciliation.
Unlike Wolfe, who favored cutting all
ties with a moderate splinter group, Henry
said he would accept mission funds from
the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship if they
came with no strings attached.

Baptist youths pledge chastiti
in ‘True Love Waits’ campaig
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Southern Bapti;
youth want a sexual revolution, though or.
unlike their parents’ generation — and the;
revolt’s biggest volley came Tuesday in a stad
um-sized display of 100,000 cards pledginj
chastity.
Working under the broiling sun, hundred
of Baptist teens placed the individual write:
vows in plastic holders that covered 50,0(1
square feet in front of the Orange County Cor
vention Center, culminating a churchwi®
True Love Waits campaign.
“It’s a way to tell the world not to have
before marriage,” said 13-year-old Katy Ek
of Waxahachie, Texas. “It’s really importanttf
me. All my friends ... are getting pregnantari
it hurts to see them getting hurt like that.”
Since its humble beginnings little morf
than a year ago, when 59 teens took vowsol
chastity in a Nashville church, the True LoH
Waits campaign has inspired 102,000 youths
so far in the nation’s largest Protestant denom
ination to pledge to abstain from sex beta
marriage.
At some youth rallies, more than 1(
people at a time pledged “to God, myself, my
family, those I date, my future mate and my
future children to be sexually pure until tht
day I enter a covenant marriage relationship.’
The campaign has already spread to 26 oth
er Christian groups, including the Roman
Catholic Church.
