Continued from Page 1 hopefully, the Board will vote to demolish.” Sasse said the Facilities Plan ning and Building Committee has carefully studied the build ings and their structures. Three engineering consulting companies examined the halls and concluded that the buildings are not structurally sound and should be demolished. The findings of the consul tants, as well as the renovation costs, Sasse said, made it impos sible for him to recommend keeping the buildings. “It’s not in the overall best in terest of the University or the students,” he said. “I can’t in good faith recommend that the buildings be renovated.” Jesse Sanchez, RHA vice- president for operations and for mer Puryear Hall president, said he has conflicting feelings about the proposal. “My RHA stance is that when the renovation costs were esti mated at $6.5 million, we favored renovation,” Sanchez, a market ing and management major, said. “When the estimate went up to $10 million, we didn’t have time to find out whether or not stu dents would still be willing to pay a rent increase to fund it. “My personal opinion is that it is a shame that two of the dorms that have done the most for the University are being torn down.” Sanchez said Puryear resi dents were the All-University Intramural champions for 18 of the last 21 years. Between the two halls, he said, there were four Hall of the Year awards. Heath Taylor, RHA leader ship training committee member and former Law Hall president, said the halls should be saved. “My personal opinion is that this University has the money to cover the renovation of two small dorms,” Taylor, a senior construction science major, said. “They get grants almost daily from major contributors. “They could donate a little bit of money for a dorm that’s been there for 68 years instead of putting up a statue of something that is not as needed as the dorms are.” Sasse said the Board will focus on what will be done with the space if the halls are demolished. Lyons said that if a new dorm is built in the near future, it will most likely be located on West campus for the students who are enrolled in all business classes, but no definite decisions have been made yet. “We are focusing on what will hurt the student’s pocketbooks the least,” she said. Regents Continued from Page 1 type of input to stay in touch with the students’ needs. “You’ve got to be careful that you don’t talk so much and lis ten instead,” O’Connor said. “In too many cases there are as sumptions. Tonight alleviates those assumptions.” The two-way exchange is not something that could be accom plished through a formal meet ing or through newspaper arti cles, O’Connor said. “In some aspects they en lighten us, and in others ween- lighten them from a different viewpoint,” he said. “And that's the good way to make appropri ate decisions.” O’Connor said the Board plans to continue the open houses, and would liketosee them take place before every Board meeting. “I hope we have started an other one of those traditions that A&M is so rich in,” he said. "Be cause (the students] have special concerns. Those concerns can be positive or negative.” - : Panel Continued from Page 1 Weather Today Clear with a high near 88. Northeast winds 5-10 mph.

Portales said the statement of purpose is the signal A&M is sending to the rest of the world. “I’m going to do everything l can to make that statement come true,” he said. Santiago said the way to de velop a workable relationship within the unique and highly conserva tive culture at A&M is to simply respect each other. “We can all use the additional diver sity,” she said. Portales also urged students to speak out. “We need to begin with our selves as individuals,” he said, “decide what we believe in, what we stand for.” The panelists also dis cussed the Access and ECquity 2000 plan that requires all Texas universities to have mi nority representation re flecting the state’s propor tions of minorities. “We have a responsibility to make sure these goals are met,” Santiago said. Garcia said A&M has many programs to recruit and main tain I lispanic students. “Regardless of race or ethnic ity,” she said, “students are of ten too proud to ask for help." Garcia urged students to take charge of their lives and educations. It is a sign of strength, not weakness, to ask for help when it is needed, she said. “The goal here is to improve with every test, every pa per," she said. M. Guadalupe Rangel, the first Hispanic woman on A&M’s Board of Re gents, said Hispan ic students need to be proud of themselves and proud to be Aggies. “Don’t wait around for someone to empower you," Rangel said. “Nobody is more or less of an Aggie than you are. You’re one of the few who have made it. A&M is your school. It’s your education; it while you can.” I Th VI !IH jOVf on sa IT] on ew :rr as ] R |itt jnu y Forum Continued from Page 1 with a bad taste in their mouth about the cultures course requirement.” Students have been exposed to the Faculty Senate’s bill, Reed said, but many people do not know what the Student Senate’s bill en tails. As the Student Senate bill stands now, about 93 percent of all students would already fulfill the requirements. “The culture course requirement is not for social engineering,” he said. Chris Miller, an off-campus senator and a sophomore English major, said students have not been fully informed on the content of the bills. “I think a lot of students feel the cul tures course will be a social-conditioning course,” Miller said. “It is not just about cultural sensitivity. “There is a wide breadth of cultures, in ternational economics and international business courses, that I personally feel are relevant to a well-rounded education." Miller stressed that students should at tend the forum so the Student Senate can have a collective opinion from students on which to base their votes. “If students have an educated opinion,”he said, “and they still don’t want a cultures course requirement, then I’ll represent student body as a whole and vote on of my constituents.” What’s Up Thursday TAMU Women's Rugby: Come play a new sport filled with tradition, meet great peo ple, get fit and travel.
