Toby Boenig, student body president, does not think that the new bill will harm students’ safe ty on campus. “We need to publicize the fact that it will still be illegal to carry weapons on campus, even after the first of the year,” Boenig said. Boenig is also concerned with improving the general safety of the campus. “We always want to ensure student aware ness, lighting and the presence of the University Police on campus,” he said. Wendy Smonko, a senior education major, said she opposed the new handgun bill and be lieves concealed weapons could make campus' more dangerous.

Vol. BOWEN: A&M faces ‘bright future" Continued from Page 1 UH system in 'disarray' HOUSTON (AP) — An outside au dit recommends University of Hous ton regents delay any plan to merge two top jobs because of the system's current disarray. The report, commissioned by the Board of Regents, says the University of Houston System isn't ready to combine the jobs of chancellor and main campus president into a single chief executive officer.

Page / HUNTSVILLE (AP) - After hearing witnesses describe Fletcher Thomas Mann, jurors took less than two hours to send the Kentucky man to Texas death row. More than 13 years later, Mann was set to die early today for a 1980 murder spree in Dallas. Attorneys for Mann, 34, appealed that his 1 3 years on death row already amounted to cruel and unusual pun ishment and that his case deserved a special review by the courts. The U.S. Supreme Court Tuesday rejected the arguments and lawyers said there would be no other appeals. sometimes settled here if you’re not used to it.” But while he has had good times with his job, Bowen is serious when speaking about the recent cutbacks in admis sions that have caused the University to turn away nearly 6,000 applicants. “The worst part of this job is telling people they can’t enroll,” he said. “A byproduct of our suc cess is that we have to limit our enrollment. That’s very difficult.” The former A&M graduate and engineering professor is modest when rating his perfor mance over the last year, but is quick to point out the successes of the teachers and the students. up in Austin for things he wasn’t involved in,” Boenig said. “But he took them and then assured the Legislature that it wouldn’t hap pen again. I think that shows his dedication to the University.” Bowen said that he thinks A&M has emerged from its year of controversy with little nega tive impact. He said many of the problems have risen from a small part of the University. “The criticism we received has always been associated with a very narrow set of activities which are largely managed in fi nance and administration. When you look at the part of the Uni versity we’re talking about, it’s a very small piece. And I think if you were to go to that division. you’d see that those problems have been corrected.” Bowen pointed to several signs that the University hase| bright future. “Our funded research is up,’ he said. "Our applicant pool for admissions is up. So I think the public understands that academ ically, this is a very solid place.’ Lyons said that she sees a bright future for Bowen. “I think that hes seen A&M and what being an administra tor here is like,’ Lyons said. “I thins now that he is set tied, things will g; even better.” Bowen said he see long-range plannk as the key to A&M: He said that future success dwindling funds from the stalf make good planning essentialK A&M’s future. “We have to look at where*; want to be in 20 to 30 years,’k said. “Clearly, we want to contiii ue to be the quality university we are now.
