Henry said he was surprised when he saw A&M was not on the list because the University’s tuition and fees are comparable to those of the University of Texas in Austin, which ranked 13th on the list. “Since we are both state schools, our monetary fees should be similar,” he said. “I would have expected us to be un der Texas’s 13th ranking or at least close.” Rachel Campbell, a senior pe troleum engineering major, said A&M’s drop in the ratings does not make sense. “A&M being off the chart on Money Magazine’s top 100 col lege bargains really surprised me,” Campbell said. “What was so surprising was the amount A&M dropped — from 42 to past the 100 mark. “I don’t think it will have a large effect on A&M, though, be cause of its prestige as a Univer sity,” she said. Eight Texas colleges did make the list. Rice University was ranked No. 2 for the second year in a row, followed by the Univer sity of Texas in Austin at 13th place, Trinity University at 24th place and Baylor University was ranked 34th place. Austin College in Sherman ranked 47th, Southwestern Uni versity 56th, St. Mary’s Universi ty of San Antonio ranked 77th, and the University of Dallas at 99th place. According to Money Maga zine, the best education for the dollar can be found at New Col lege of the University of South Florida. Houston’s Rice University was at second place; Trenton State College in New Jersey at third; the State University of New York in Binghamton at fourth, and Northeast Missouri State University at fifth place. Money Magazine’s rankings will be released in a special edi tion of the magazine which will hit the newsstands Sept. 6. The rankings are based on factors such as entrance exam results, graduation rates, faculty resources and deployment, bud gets for instruction and student services and default rations on graduates’ student loans. These figures are then compared with each college’s tuition and fees. The rankings are a reflection of the monetary value of the school, not the academic educa tion the students receive.

Gaston said Sugg did not mention the canceled project in the resignation letter, but Gas ton said he would not be sur prised if it was one reason he resigned. “I know he’s worked hard on that project,” he said. “I would n’t be surprised if he is worn out.” Sugg declined to comment on his resignation when reached at his home Monday night. The A&M Physical Plant De partment employs over 1,100 people and is responsible for all campus utilities, such as air- conditioning, water and phone services. It is also in charge of any campus landscaping, clean ing and renovations needed. All-U Night Continued from Page 1 violence from All-University Night. Student leaders met in May and August to discuss ways of convincing students to de crease violence. Sweeney said student leaders Eire trying to return All-Universi ty Night to its original intention. “We are all Aggies; we do not need to be beating everyone up,” he said. “We are trying to re turn All-University Night to its original intent — a welcome back and introduction of the fall sports team members.” Administrators and student leaders addressed the crowd in an attempt to motivate stu dents for the upcoming year. Among those speaking were Southerland; Dr. Ray Bowen, A&M president; Brooke Leslie, student body president; and Lynn Hickey, senior associate athletic director. The speakers stressed the importance of Aggie spirit and the excitement of the upcoming year.
