A Few More Academic Dr. Melon Southerland, vice president for stu dent affairs, says although he has worked at Texas A&M for 27 years, this year he thinks of himself as a freshman again. “I am still new in this job of dealing directly with certain issues,” Southerland said. “I am still new to the students.” This fall is Southerland’s first semester to serve as vice president. He took over as vice president for student affairs in February, replacing Dr. John Koldus, who retired last summer after serving 20 years in the position. Southerland shares Koldus’ philosophy of the job. "This is a lifestyle, not a job,” he said. “People in this position are in for trouble if they do not have this attitude.” In his position Southerland links students with the administration. “I am responsible for students,” he said. “This is why I am a vice president; the 40,000 students here are my business. I need to listen and react to students.” In August he moved to the vice president’s house on campus so that he could be easily accessi ble to students. “This is part of my message; I am here on cam pus to help students if they are having prob lems,” he said. "I am not far away. My house and my office are open 24 hours a day and seven days a week.” When Southerland was selected to replace Koldus as vice president of student services, he asked Dr. E. Dean Gage, then interim president, if he could change his title to vice president for stu dent affairs, and Gage agreed. Southerland said his newly established title is a national term that is easily identifiable to con stituent groups. “The name puts back at the top the visibility of our office as being available for students,” he said. “People will know more clearly what the function of the department is; the name includes a broader perspective than student services.” Dr. Ray Bowen, A&M president, has asked Southerland to help him meet students. “He is my main access to student leaders,” Bowen said. “Dr. Southerland is helpful to me as I try to understand the University.” Bowen said Southerland is a strong defender of the students. “I have never seen anyone with such an interest in students,” he said. “He gets a kick out of this job. Dr. Southerland enjoys inviting strangers to lunch; not many people do.” Southerland said he plans to continue having freshman luncheons this fall because he thinks freshmen need to know who he is. The purpose of these luncheons, held every two weeks, is to allow students to openly discuss issues they are con cerned a()out f ..ir G v ; . “There is such a thing as a fVee lunch,” he said. T am ready to talk to everyoho; not just student leaders.” He said students wanting to attend the lun cheons need to send their names and mailing ad dresses to his office. His advice to freshmen is to “do as well as you can the first semester, and remember the first se mester is filled with anxiety, new experiences and opportunities. So even if you don’t get the best of grades, you should feel good about making it through the the first semester anyway.” In order to help new and old students, Souther land said he plans to restructure the student af fairs division. He wants the division to put a greater emphasis on students over traditional age, off-campus stu dents and graduate students. He plans to also en hance the women’s issues program. Southerland said he wants to increase the help off-campus students receive from the University by setting up a crisis team. There has been growing concern because a stu- The Ini Amy BrowningffHF B>ri Dr. Southerland’s office is located on the ter# floor of Rudder Tower.
