for operations. Class of ’96 trea
surer, Class of ’97 president
and vice president and Class of
’98 historian.
Chelsey Ferguson, the election

mission added the absentee vot

able to vote on the scheduled day.
“We are making this excep
tion due to the fact of low voter
turn-out in general for run-off

want to give students another
chance to vote, seeing that the
general student body election
was held for two days.”

Student Body President Candidates
• Carl Baggett
My name is
Carl Baggett and
I'm #1 on your
ballot running for
student body pres
ident. I would like
to talk to you a lit
tle bit about
something that is
very important to
me — Texas A&M
University.
Here at A&M,
the student body president should focus
on maintaining and developing the
strengths and heritage of A&M and set a
tone for A&M.
If elected, we will together set that
tone. We will do this through our plat
form goals for A&M. These are holistic
attempts to better A&M — goals that
reach and touch every Aggie. More im
portantly, these goals will all be imple
mented in one year's time. High goals
with concrete results is what A&M needs,
and that is what we are going to give
them.
Here are three platform goals for
next year:
No one wants the very reasons that
we came to this University to go away
such as Muster, Bonfire and Fish Camp.
With the help of the Development Foun
dation, this will never happen. We will
initiate an endowment fund for these or
ganizations. This will set up a permanent
fund that will produce annual income for
the support of these traditions. With this
intact, these great traditions will be here
for us and our children.
The student body president should be
the voice of A&M. By creating a student
body Executive Council, this voice will
be broadly supportive of student needs.
The council will consist of student lead
ers across campus such as IFC, MSC,
RHA, Panhellenic and senior class presi
dent, as well as the Corps Commander,
plus three students appointed campus
wide who just need to be heard.
Through this organization, a more
representative voice of A&M will be
heard.
The student body president should be
accessible to all students anytime, any
where.
To help foster this, I will set up a
booth two hours a week in the MSC to
sit there for students to come and talk to
me.
This will make it possible for any
student that has a concern about A&M
to be able to voice it to the Student
Body President.
• Toby Boenig
Howdy Ags!
I once heard
the quote, "I don't
care how much
you know, until I
know how much
you care." Some
people have said
that it doesn't mat
ter how much ex
perience a student
body president has.
I disagree with that
because I believe that experience not only
shows how much a person knows, but
more importantly than that, experience
shows how much a person cares.
My name is Toby Boenig, and I want to
be the next student body president of Texas
A&M. I hope that after you look at my
record of service in the student govern
ment, as well as other organizations, you
will see how much Toby Boenig does care
about Texas A&M. I have served in the Stu
dent Senate for four years. When I was
chair of the Academic Affairs Committee,
we started the fight for extra reading days
as well as the publication of professor eval
uations — which are both being implement
ed. Those are just a few issues that I have
been able to work on. I do agree that expe
rience is not the sole reason to vote for a
student body candidate. My vision is to
prepare A&M for the Class of '00. I want to
do this by focusing on three areas:
Student life:
• Improving campus security by increasing
the number of emergency phones, increas
ing the number of self defense classes in the
kinesiology department and increasing Uni
versity police presence during night hours.
• Utilize off-campus bus routes for home
football games for added convenience
• Set up monthly roundtables for students
to open channels of communication re
garding cultural differences.
Academics:
• Ensure library accountability to students
through the creation of a student advisory
committee to oversee the allocation of stu
dent funds for library improvements.
Legislative:
• Actively oppose the recommended elimi
nation of federal student financial aid
through initiating a combined effort with
student leaders at other universities across
the nation.
I hope that by looking at some of my
ideas and experience you see that Toby
Boenig does care about this University. My
vision is to prepare A&M to overcome the
challenges of the next century. I want my
vision to be our vision, so please Vote for
Toby Boenig.
