body president, said that he
hopes to see a lot of students at
the meeting.
“I try taking the majority
view to the Board of Regents,”
Boenig said. “But there are lots
of other viewpoints out there.
They make so many decisions
that pertain to students that
they need to know who they
are.”
Dr. Ray Bowen, A&M presi
dent, said the Board has shown a
willingness to work with students
in the past and continues to do so.
“This is a very student-orient
ed Board,” Bowen said. “They
[deal with] very large and com
plex issues. For the Texas A&M
University students, it’s fantas
tic.”
Allen said he looks forward to
the open house because of the
chance to meet students.
“It’s so rare that we have an
opportunity to interface directly
with the students,” he said. “I
think it’s great.”
Leaders

“reachable,” but that they often are too drastic.
“Sometimes it’s to the extreme, and I wish it wasn’t,”
Huffman said.
Dawn Kirby, a senior civil engineering major, said she
feels the same way about the student leaders.
“There’s some [actions] that I agree with, but some of
the actions they take for some of things they believe in, I
don’t like,” Kirby said.
Some students said their student leaders are
reachable and concerned.
David Bone, a senior mechanical engineering major,
said he feels student leaders often work hard to discover
general public opinion. Bone said he has encountered
several student senators who canvas people they know
for opinions.
Bone feels his leaders can get the job done and an
swer student concerns.
“It might take you awhile to bring it to the right per. I
son, like any bureaucracy, but they’ll address it sooner® |
later,” Bone says.
Other students said the Student Government seems I
far removed from students and their concerns.
Nancy Blackwell, a senior civil engineering major. I
said she never thought about those who represent heron |
campus and she would not know who to contact with a
question or problem.
“I don’t even know who most of the people are,'
she said.

Q & A
Continued from Page 1
of Science or off-campus students, none
of the five locations is more logical than
the others.
Dickson said this situation is not a
problem, because any senator is qualified
to answer general questions, and com
ments and concerns about particular col
leges or portions of the student body will
be relayed to the appropriate senators.
“The senators will take your concerns
down, and someone will get back to
you,” he said. “And at least you will
have addressed the problem.”
Because the multiculturalism propos
al is a hot topic right now, senators said
they hope to receive a lot of student
feedback and questions about the pro
posed culture requirements.
There are two forms of the cultures
course requirement bill, one passed by
the Faculty Senate and one by the Stu
dent Senate.
However, due to concerns that the
cultures bill might not represent the
views of a majority of the student body,
the Student Senate is considering re
pealing their version of the bill.
Becky Silloway, Student Senate
speaker, said student response will like
ly determine what stance the Senate
takes on the issue.
“The whole idea of the repeal is that
we don’t know what the students want,”
Silloway said. “I’d like students to voice
their opinions about the cultures course
and anything else that is on their
minds.”
Elizabeth Neugart, an off-campus
senator and junior biomedical major,
said the Senate received criticism last
year for making decisions without suffi
cient regard to student opinion.
If the concept of Constituency Day
catches on, Neugart said it will proba
bly be an effective way for the Senate
to better understand the views of the
student body.
Neugart said she plans to make the
most of Constituency Day by asking stu
dents what they think about a variety of
issues, including issues they might not
be familiar with yet.
“We want to know what they thinh
about as much stuff as we can pack into
a conversation,” she said. “Not only
about multiculturalism, but also about
other things that are about to hit the
Senate floor.”
Two more Senate Constituency Days
are scheduled for Nov. 2 and Nov. 28.
