Oehl said the Brazos Valley
Red Cross chapter has been
helping his group gather infor
mation about the situation in
Rwanda for publicity.
“They’ve provided us with
photos of some of the Rwandan
refugees, as well as some promo
tional posters of African culture
in general,” he said. “Right now
all we really know is what weve
seen in the papers and on TV.”
Oehl said the group wants to
present a guest speaker this fall
who has been a service volun
teer in Rwanda.
He said A&M’s Jordan Insti
tute for International Aware
ness is interested in helping
them find a speaker.
Emesih and Oehl will also
appear on the KBTX-TV morn
ing show to promote the Rwan
dan cause.

“Most people have their weekends free,
but I don’t. I’m not complaining, though.”
West was elected Chairman of the
Board of Regents May 12, after Ross
Margraves resigned.
West will serve as chairman until Feb
ruary. Her term as a Regent expires in
1997, and she said she will not accept
another term.
“Anybody who commits to being a Re
gent at any university system commits a
great deal — time, money, their business,”
she said. “It’s a great responsibility.”
One of the responsibilities West has
had to take during her tenure as chair
man is facing scrutiny caused by univer
sity scandals.
The Regents have been criticized for
excessive spending as shown in a System
audit this summer.
Five Texas A&M employees were in
dicted, and four others were charged this
summer for tampering with government
records after describing purchases of al
cohol as purchases of food and beverages
on state vouchers.
West said she supports the employees
who were indicted.
“Those people who were indicted on
the alcohol charges had no business be
ing indicted,” she said.
“There should have been rules set up
for those procedures.”
Regent member Bill Clayton said he
thinks West will be able to do what is
best for A&M.
“I think she is a great lady,” Clayton
said. “She is all business, no fooling
around."
West said most of A&M’s problems are
growing pains.
“The size of this university has explod
ed,” she said. “With growth also comes
problems.”
She said that the University will be
come stronger by having dealt with these
problems.
“When we get out of these problems we
are in, I think we’ll be stronger,” she said.
“You learn and grow through adversity.
West said she is not a typical chairman,
but she does want what is best for A&M.
“I’m a woman,” she said. “I’m not an
attorney. I don’t have an agenda, except
that I want what is best for the Universi
ty.”

Get the
home field
advantage
with the
12th Man
Checkin
Accoun
I irst American Bank knows the demands of college
JL usually don't leave you a lot of time to worry about
your banking needs. But we also know that cashing
checks can sometimes be a hassle for students, especially
when your money is in an out-of-town bank That's why
we designed the 12th Man Checking Account especially
with Aggies in mind.
Using 12th Man Checking, you'll have the home
field advantage that comes with using a local bank.
And, with our five locations around the Bryan-College
Station area, banking convenience is just around the
corner.
But the benefits don't stop there. Unlike many other
accounts, 12th Man Checking has no specified monthly
minimum balance and requires an opening minimum of
only $100. You'll also have quick access to your cash
24 hours a day with your First American Bank MPACT
card.
So give the 12th Man Checking Account a try. It'll
definitely give you the home field advantage.
