Boenig focuses on student needs
By Amy Protas
The Battalion
T oby Boenig starts his day
at 8 a.m. and ends it at 11
p.m. He is the Texas A&M
student body president, voice of
over 41,000 students.
Toby Boenig
Boenig graduated with 54 se
niors from Marion High School,
a high school 10 miles south of
New Braunfels.
Boenig said moving from a big
town was not as hard as expected.
“I thought it would be a big
deal at first,” he said. “But
when I got here, it wasn’t such
a big deal. College Station has
a small-town atmosphere.”
After being extremely in
volved in extracurricular activi
ties in high school, Boenig de
cided to take a break once he
got to college.
“I made a pledge with a friend
not to get involved when I got to
A&M,” Boenig said. “We were go
ing to concentrate on grades and
be normal people. That lasted for
a semester.”
When a friend told Boenig
about an open Student Senate
seat, he got pulled back into ex
tracurricular activities.
Boenig said student govern
ment was a way to help others.
“I get to meet so many people,”
Boenig said. “There are a lot of
late nights, but I know I’m trying
to do good for others. Knowing
that is what keeps me going.”
Although being student body
president has its advantages, it
also has its drawbacks.
Boenig said he does not get
to spend much time with his
friends. He also said he has to
face criticism.
“Getting criticized is good, but
you also wonder about it,” Boenig
said. “You have to get thick-
skinned. I’ve learned to do that.”
Boenig started his term last se
mester with a platform aimed at
obtaining what students need.
“One of the things I created
was a vice president for finance,”
Boenig said. “Because we had so
many new fees last year, we
wanted to place a lot of attention
on that area.”
The Fee Oversight Committee
researches all new fees and in
creases. It uses this research to
find out if the fees are justified.
Boenig said his administra
tion has brought improvements
in the library.
“The library drastically
needed to be improved,” Boenig
said. “Last year, the fee was
passed that has brought in S2.3
million this year. We’re going to
suggest a committee so stu
dents will be able to see where
funds are going.”
Boenig said that until a new
student body president is elected
in March, he is going to work his
hardest to achieve the rest of his
platform goads.
“I’m going to put everything!
have into these last two months,”
he said. “I’ll have plenty of time to
relax after it’s over.”
One of Boenig’s goals is to push
for a child-care center provided
for faculty members’ and stu
dents’ children.
Eliminating exams during
Muster is another of Boenig’s
goals this semester.
“A year ago, I saw finals that
were scheduled during Muster,”
he said. “At least 1,000 students
couldn’t go. Every student should
be able to go. It is a celebration of
life and A&M.”
Boenig said students should
get involved in order to develop
leadership skills.
“Getting involved gives you a
voice in the administration on be
half of the students,” Boenig said.
“Our administration takes
strong value in what we do. Dr.
Bowen has to make tough deci
sions; he really cares. Dr.
Southerland even gives out his
phone number.”
Boenig said even though he re
spects the administration, he is
not afraid to go against them.
“Sometimes you have to agree
to disagree,” Boenig said. “When
ever we’re talking about different
issues. I’ll disagree, but they re
spect it. They are public servants,
and they should be questioned.”
