said. “I expect them to ask a lot of questions
and be thorough.”
The decision of whether to raise fees was
prompted by the Texas Legislature passing
a bill during its 74th legislative session al
lowing university governing boards to raise
the general use fee as high as tuition rates.
The bill also required universities to hold
public forums before any increase is improved.
In addition, the Legislature appropriated
$6.7 million less to the University budget
than A&M administrators expected. This
budget shortfall and pressure to increase
faculty and staff pay raises, which have not
been increased for several years, also con
tributed to the proposed increase.
The revenue generated by the increase
would also be used to provide need-based fi
nancial aid, special projects and deferred
maintenance.
Originally slated as an increase of $14
per semester credit hour increase in fiscal
year 1995-96 with an additional increase of
$6 per semester credit hour the following
year, the proposal came under fire from stu
dents.
Others argued that administrators tried
to slide the proposal through the back door
by holding public forums on the fee during
the summer, when the number of students
is substantially lower.
The proposal drew criticism from State
Rep. Steve Ogden, who said the increase
would be “too much, too fast.”
The volatile responses forced Bowen back
to the drawing board to find something
more acceptable. On July 25, he unveiled a
new proposal, reducing the proposed in
crease to $10 per semester credit hour the
first year, with an additional $10 per se
mester credit hour increase in Fall 1996.
The $10-$10 proposal will generate $11.1
million in fiscal year 1995-96. That revenue
will provide $5 million for faculty and staff
pay raises and $5.19 million for A&M’s bud
get deficit. The remaining funds will be di
vided between need-based financial aid
($800,000) and special projects ($350,000).
The revised proposal will cost the Uni
versity, not just the students. The $4.4 mil
lion less revenue generated by the new pro
posal will force the University to take a $2
million budget cut.
If the higher fee is approved, new state
ments will be mailed requesting the differ
ence between the old and new fee.
The second round of statements will in
clude information about a plan that allows
students to ease the burden of the higher
fee. The plan will let students pay the dif
ference in two payments, one on Oct. 15 and
the other on Nov. 15.
COMMENCEMENT: Each graduate allotted seven ticket!

Arts, Medicine and Veterinary
Medicine, said there is no reason
to treat commencement as a
somber occasion.
“Graduation is a time for cele
bration,” Lee said. “It’s not a
time to be ponderous and overly
serious. Too often, graduation
turns out to be joyless. I think it
should be substantive, but plea
surable.”
Lee said her speech will ad
dress the moral responsibility
of the graduates to make wise
decisions about the quality of
their lives.
“The basic single choice is
whether or not to live our lives
on the level of real human be
ings,” she said. “Whether we’re
going to be civilized and cultured
or barbarians.”
Lee, who received an hon
orary doctoral degree in 1965
from Incarnate Word College in
San Antonio, has worked as an
art critic for the San Antonio
Express News and as an arts
commentator on San Antonio
radio stations.
Her watercolor paintings, some
of which have been shown at
A&M, are displayed nationwide.
Lee was the subject of a 1984
television documentary, “Reality
is Becoming,” which was nomi
nated for an Emmy award.
She has served on the boards
of the Humane Society of the
United States, the Texas Center
for Legal Ethics and Profession
alism and the San Antonio Blind
Association.
Junell’s honors include being
named Outstanding Freshman
Legislator of the Year by the
Texas House of Representatives
during his first term in office, to
which he was elected in 1988.
Recently, he was named by the
Dallas Morning News as one of
“The Best of the Best” state leg
islators.
A former U.S. Army captain,
Junell received his master’s de
gree in political science from
the University of Arkansas and
his law degree from Texas Tech
University.
Junell and Lee said they
were honored to be invited to
speak at A&M commencement
ceremonies.
“I believe everything in life
happens for a reason,” Lee said.
“So I take this commitment
seriously.”
Don Gardner, A&M associate
registrar, said 2,200 A&M stu
dents will receive their degrees
this weekend. About l,700 o(
those graduating indicated they
will attend the ceremonies.
Each graduate is allotted sev
en entrance tickets for friends
and family who wish to attend
the ceremony held at G. Rollie
White Coliseum. But Gardner
said he is hopeful that everyone
who wants to come to the gradu
ations will be able to get in.
“If it looks like tickets aren't
getting picked up, we’ll puts
sign up the day of the gradua
tions and make the unclaimed
tickets available,” he said.
Gardner said tickets are like
ly to go unclaimed because
crowds are usually smaller in
the summer.
Commencement ceremonies
are scheduled to start at 7:30
p.m. Friday, Aug. 11 and at 9:00
a.m. Saturday, Aug. 12.

Student Services, said she hopes interna
tional students gain an understanding of
University life and an appreciation for
A&M traditions.
“I think I-Camp will be very exciting,”
Droleskey said. “It is up to the internation
al students to decide whether or not they
want to participate in our traditions, but
no one should be surprised or made to won
der about any of the traditions. It is impor
tant that they recognize each one.”
International students attending the
camp will learn about American football,
meet and take pictures with members of
the A&M football team and visit the Kyle
Field Press Box.
Camp participants will also participate
in yell practice with the yell leaders and
Reveille VI.
The Department of Recreational Sports
will present the international students with
information about student organizations.
Hinojosa said a highlight of last year’s I-
Camp was a speech titled the “Advantages of
Being an Aggie,” given by Frank Muller,
class of ’65.
Muller will speak at this year’s camp
again about what international students can
gain from A&M and how they can be proud
of being an A&M student.
Soummo Mukherjee, a sophomore indus
trial engineering student and the group
leader coordinator for I-Camp, said his in
volvement with I-Camp and international
students shows his appreciation for thoss
who helped him when he first arrived at
the University.
“This is the only way I could think of to
return the favor to those who helped me,’
Mukherjee said. “It is important that there
is someone international students can turn
to with any questions they might have.”
