RHA president lo
forward to new
By Amanda Fowle
Thf. Battalion
'The new Residence Hall Asso
ciation president, Owen Ross,
wants on-campus residents to
know that, through RHA, they
have the power to change their
living environment.
“I want the residents to know
that if we work together,” Owen
Ross said, “we can better our liv
ing environment.”
Ross said RHA is the voice of
the 9,000 students living in the
34 residence halls.
“People sit back and gripe
about something that they think
is wrong,” he said, “but they
don’t realize that, through RHA,
they can work to change it.”
Unfortunately, Ross said, not
all of the changes students want
are made.
The students can ask for
changes, he said, but the final
decisions are made solely by
the administration.
“All we can do as RHA is be
the voice of the students,” he
said. “We can ask for changes,
but can’t make the changes. The
changes don’t always happen.”
He said sometimes the
changes students want are over
ridden by A&M administrators
for security or other reasons.
Ross wants students to realize
that the Residential Hall Associ
ation is there to benefit them.
“My motto while campaigning
was, ‘Ask not what you can do
for RHA, but what RHA can do
for you,’” he said.
Michael Osterbuhr, RHA ad
viser, said residents must take
advantage of RHA before it can
help them.
“Like any governmental orga
nization, RHA can help the stu
dents only if they use it,” Oster-
huhr said. “The residents must
go to their hall councils or RHA
representatives and communi
cate their needs.”
Ross said RHA takes the
complaints and suggestions of
the residents and tries to work
out a solution.
An example, he said, is that
because of complaints from resi
dents about visitation, RHA has
formed an ad hoc committee to
review the current visitation

Jewish A&M students observe holiday
By Angela Neaves
The Battalion
Jewish Texas A&M students and faculty will
begin a new year this week with the celebration of
Rosh Hashana.
Scott Bernstein, a senior bioengineering major,
said Rosh Hashana, which began Monday night
and continues through Wednesday, is a time to
think of sins of the past year and what can be done
to correct them.
Yom Kippur, which begins at sundown Sept. 14,
is the clay of atonement, Bernstein said.
“During Yom Kippur we pray and fast and are
judged by God,” Bernstein said. “Rosh Hashana
and Yom Kippur are times of starting over, of re
flecting on the past and of shaping the future.”
Rabbi Peter Tarlow of the Hillel Jewish Student
Association said the 5,000-year-old tradition took
on a special meaning this year because the Jewish
new year happened to fall at the beginning of a
new school year.
“It is no secret that Texas A&M had a difficult
year last year,” Tarlow said. “The whole Univer
sity can use this time of turning over a new leaf.
Everyone can share in the new beginning.”
As Texas A&M becomes an international uni
versity, the Jewish community is also becoming
international, with students arriving from Aus
tralia, Mexico and all over the world, Tarlow said.
"The Jewish community is rapidly becoming an
international community with a commonality of
faith,” Tarlow said. “Although the accents may be
different, we all know the same prayers in the
same Hebrew language.”
Texas A&M has long been struggling to be
open to students of all ethnicities and religions.
However, it can be insensitive to ethnic and racial
issues that vary from the norm, Tarlow said.
“It is sometimes quite difficult to explain to
some faculty members that a Jewish student can
not be expected to be in classes on Rosh
Hashana,” Tarlow said. “Jewish students and
professors sometimes do not lasklong here be
cause of this insensitivity.”
