Most vending machines on campus will
accept Aggie Bucks by the fall semester, offi
cials in the Fiscal Department said.
Andy Bland, manager of data processing
for the Fiscal Department, said the depart
ment’s goal is to have the card readers ready
by the 6nd of August.
However, not all vending machines will
be updated to take Aggie Bucks. There are
360 vending machines on campus, and 140
of them will be able to take Aggie Bucks, he
said.
“Some don’t warrant it,” Bland said.
“Only the areas that have the highest traffic
and are most accessible to students will be
converted.”
Tom Taylor, assistant vice president and
controller for the Fiscal Department, said
A&M uses the money it gets from vending
machines and Aggie Buck usage to cover the
cost of converting vending machines to take
Aggie Bucks.
He said when some vending machines
were converted for testing there was an in
crease in sales.
Sara Smith, a senior accounting major,
has lived on campus since her freshman
year. She said she would definitely buy
more Aggie Bucks because of the added con
venience.
“It will be so convenient,” she said. “It’s a
lot better than carrying around change.”
Bland said plans for converting laundry and
copy machines is in the department’s future,
but no dates have been set.
Thomas Williams, director of Parking,
Transit and Traffic Services, said there an
no plans for any parking garages to tal
gie Bucks except for the University Centei
Parking Garage, which already accept;
them.
Williams said the use of Aggie Bucks
causing problems in the garage, he said. 1
stead of the students using the garage
night to attend club meetings as intendei,
they are using it to go to class during tit
day, he said.
“It has deteriorated operations to
point where we will be closely monitoringi
during the fall,” he said. “We havetoprt
serve visitor parking in that garage, and
steps that have to be taken will be, but then
are no plans yet.”
Locations for the converted vending
chines include Harrington Classroom B
ing, Kleberg Animal and Food Science Get
ter, Heldenfels Hall, the Commons, N
Kyle Field, Zachry Engineering Center
some residence halls.
Sister school undergoes expansion
A&M-Corpus Christ! to become a
four-year university this September
By Tracy Smith
The Battalion
Texas A&M University-Cor
pus Christi will become a four-
year university in September,
with an enrollment increase of
over 1000 people.
Dr. Robert Furgason, presi
dent of A&M-Corpus Christi,
said regulations have limited
the school to only 400 freshmen
in the fall.
The university was previous
ly open only to juniors and se
niors.
The state legislature decided
to make the school a four-year
university in 1989.
“The different characteristics
and backgrounds of our new
freshmen should provide for a
well diverse group of students,”
he said. “We are expecting 70
percent of the freshmen to be
women and 40 percent minori
ties.”
Dr. William Mobley, A&M
System chancellor, said the de
cision to make A&M-Corpus
Christi a four-year university
wa§. an excellept move by fhe
legislature.
“Corpus Christi is the largest
city in the country without a
four-year college,” he said. “It is
a good location offering a wide
school for more than two years.
“Until you move to four-year
university status, you never real
ly get to see the benefits involved
with that expansion,” he said. “It
gives a sense of enthusiasm and
comradery that is lacking from a
two-year school.”
Chuck Steward, assistant of
public affairs at A&M-Corpus
"I expect A&M-Corpus Christi to eventually
become one of the more rapidly growing
universities."
— William Mobley, Texas A&M System chancellor
range of academics,” he said.
“The measures taken during the
transition will be well worth the
effort.
“A major expansion program
is on the way for the campus
which will allow room for further
growth,” Mobley said.
“I expect A&M-Corpus
Christi to eventually become one
of the more rapidly growing uni
versities.”
Furgason said he is excited
about the switch to a larger in
stitution and fe«ls the change
will- help-students by providing
the “tfug cpllege experience”
found by attending the same
Christi, said the change should
also provide a vital link connect
ing the school with the communi
ty.
“The opportunities that go
along with becoming a four-year
university will allow the college
a chance to integrate with the
general public, industry and lo
cal schools,” he said. “By open
ing lines of communication with
the public, we expect education
to thrive and to provide support
for the school.
“For the long-term, we also
see an increase of jobs as the
University expands, helping the
area as a whole,” he said.
Sergio Olivares, student
emment president at A&M-Co
pus Christi, said the school has
lot to gain from incoming fres:
men and sophomores.
“One of our main goals is
get students involved,” he sal
“We want everyone to become!
active part of the university.
“Due to a receptive turno;
for registration and the first nei
student orientation last wed
our positive attitude has be
strengthened,” he said.
2 “We are having to learn
we go but are excited to havetk
opportunity.”
Students at the main A&)
campus said giving more stii
dents a chance to attend a foil
year school is a situation^
which everyone can prosper.
Rachel Campbell, a seniorpf
troleum engineering major, sa::
she realizes the importance
attending a four-year school at:
is excited for the A&M-Corpc
Christi students.
“After attending A&M for ti
last four years, I have realm:
how important it is to start a::
finish at the same University
she said. “I hope the Corp
Christi students can gett!
same feeling of pride and trfi
tion that I have received-herd
A&M.” ,
