□ Classes on corporate
development are now shorter
to fit the schedules of those
who take them.
By james Bernsen
The Battalion
The Texas A&M Center for Executive De
velopment, which trains business leaders to
deal with vital business and corporate issues,
is altering its executive training programs to
better suit its corporate clients.
The program teaches executives about a
wide variety of subjects, such as finance
management, managing risk, downsizing
and emerging information issues.
Dr, E. Dean Gage, center director, said the
program will be changed to shift the empha
sis from one- and two-week programs to
shorter two- or three-day programs.
“We reduced the longer programs and go
for the more intense, shorter ones,” he said.
The shorter programs will not only fit
into tight schedules of corporate managers,
but will be tailored to meet specific busi
ness needs, Gage said.
"What we have done is really added to
the existing programs to respond to busi
ness and the corporate world today," he
said. “We will continue the longer pro
grams, but clearly not the number we had
in the past.”
Dr. Benton Cocanougher, dean of the
College of Business Administration and the
Graduate School of Business, said the pro
gram changes are an improvement.
"It represents the kind of changing en
vironment we’re operating in,” Co
canougher said.
Gage said changes were made after the
center talked to clients of the program and
research about trends in executive develop
ment programs.
The classes are often taken by corporate
managers who have been out of school for a
long time and need to refresh themselves on
issues or want to learn about new corporate
developments. Government agencies and
University employees also take the courses.
Dr. Don Hellriegel, executive associate
dean of the College of Business Administra
tion, taught past seminars and said the pro
grams are more than just refresher courses.
“Not only are we keeping them up-to-
date, but also helping them develop leader
ship for their institutions,” Hellriegel said.
The program is taught by A&M faculty,
business executives and professional
consultants. Most of the sessions are held
on campus, but the center also offers on
site programs.
Cocanougher said the programs are part
of the college's mission to provide business
education opportunities for non-degree
seeking candidates.
“For almost all leading business schools,
part of their mission is to provide these con
tinuing education opportunities,” he said.
“We’ve emerged as a ranked business
school, and I think it’s logical that we rec
ognize the need [to expand the programs].”

Housing horrors continue across the state
□Students at many
Texas colleges and
universities are
experiencing dorm
over-assignments.
SAN MARCOS (AP) — An on-
campus housing shortage at sever
al Texas colleges and universities
sent students to hotel rooms
and dormitory basements appears
be waning, but is not yet over.
The 34 Southwest Texas State
University students who spent the
two weeks of school in hotel
rooms were scheduled to have
lousing on the San Marcos cam
pus by Labor Day.
However, the number of
lomeless students at Texas
M University in College Sta
ll, which started at nearly
| still stood at about 425 af-
ierthree days of classes.
The University of Texas in
Austin has said it expects to find
normal on-campus housing in the
next several weeks for the 100 stu
dents who started school without
dormitory rooms.
In spite of the statistics, hous
ing officials at the schools said the
overflow was not unusual.
John T. White, SWT associate
director of residence life, said he
had expected about 100 more
students to flood the school’s
4,700-capacity dorm system.
The school put 132 students in
hotels last year.
Ron Sasse, director of housing
at A&M, said his 11,000-bed sys
tem had about 800 over-assign
ments in 1992, also.
The schools generally offer
dorm space to more students
than they can house under the
assumption that some students
will accept on-campus housing
and then cancel.
“Its just hard to predict,”
Sasse said. “This year we had a
lot more students accept our
over-assignment offers and few
er people cancelled.”
Last year, however, A&M had
extra on-campus space.
Sasse predicted that as more
people leave school or fail to regis
ter, the school would find space for
a majority of the students. But
some would remain in temporary
housing all semester, he said.
"We'll get used to it."

U. T. freshman
College students seemed to
take the hassle in stride.
“I decided kind of at the last
minute that I was coming here
and so we kind of expected some
thing like this,” said Hillary Rein
hardt, an 18-year-old freshman at
Southwest Texas who was housed
at the Holiday Inn.
“It’s worked out OK. I’d rather
have a dorm, have my own things,
you know, my pictures, my bed,
but I don’t mind.”
Kari Griggs, an 18-year-old
A&M freshman from Houston, is
sharing a converted TV room with
five other students.
The room, which no longer
holds a television, is furnished
with three bunk beds, three cabi
nets and a number of large clothes
racks. Tables have been stacked
atop each other.
The worst problem, Griggs said,
is the bathroom situation.
“The bathroom’s way down
the hall,” she told the Houston
Chronicle.
At the University of Texas,
freshman Karen Yancy said re
cently that she was “not terribly
unhappy” about being housed in
a dormitory basement with 22
other women.
“I felt the university was tak
ing care of us. We’ll get used to
it,” she said.
