There’s no way to keep up with everything.” Garcia said V-l’s main differ ence from on-campus companies Deignan said V-l ties in well with the Corps’ main goal of preparing cadets for service as officers. He said that to serve as an officer in the military, a person must graduate with a bache lor’s degree. He said many peo ple who enter the military after high school return to earn their college degrees so they can serve as officers. “I was on active duty and served in the National Guard for 12 years,” Deignan said. “I would have felt bad if I had the opportunity to serve in a capacity of greater responsibility and did n’t take it.” CAMPUS Health Tips Don't get those finals' headadi Re "Guys in the Corps who don't know what we're about think we're a bunch of two-percenters be cause we don't eat in Duncan or have mandatory Bonfire cuts. They think we're lazy something." — Robert Garcia, commanding officer of V-l is that those outfits have forma tion twice a day, and V-l holds only a morning formation. “Guys in the Corps who don’t know what we’re about think we’re a bunch of two-per centers,” Garcia said, “because we don’t eat in Duncan or have mandatory Bonfire cuts. They think we’re lazy or something. If they’d take the time to get to know us, they’d understand. So many are preparing to be of ficers.” Maj. Gen. Thomas Darling, commandant of the Corps, said he would like to see V-l’s current membership of 21 expand. “The numbers are not uncom mon,” Darling said. “There aren’t that many married stu dents anymore, and there is not the high number of veterans like we used to have. We need to re examine that and maybe let some other students join. “It’s an advantage when like people can be together. I think it’s definitely a plus for them.” Expansion Continued from Page 1 these institutions join the System would benefit the System and not cause a hardship,” he said. “You can get too big and become ineffi cient.” O’Connor wants each university to have an individual area of specialization. He said he would not want to have more than one university representing each field of specialization. Currently, eight universities comprise the A&M System. “We try to encourage the universities to keep their own identi ties,” he said. O’Connor said that it is not unusual for universities to request to be a part of the System. “There are always conversations about this,” he said, “especially around the legislative session.” O’Connor said he would rather see promises made to other uni versities fulfilled before the Board considers adding other schools to the System. “I want to make sure that the promises that previous boards have made can be fulfilled before we make new promises,” he said. West foresees even greater expansion of the A&M System. She said she would not be surprised if, in the future, all universi ties in Texas were either a part of the University of Texas System or the Texas A&M University System. “In light of the financial situation in Texas,” she said, “I would not be surprised to see only two university systems in Texas.” MSC Barber Shop Serving All Aggies!
