younger than they are.”
Robert Garcia, commanding
officer for V-l, said members of
the company are grateful they
have an opportunity to join the
Corps.
“It works well,” Garcia said.
“A lot of people really like the
Corps but are maybe married
and working 40 hours a week.
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.”

"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

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.”

headache specialists recommend a healthy, well-balanced diet
sider eliminating foods connected with headache onset. D
