be taken into consideration.
Eric Curley, junior chem
istry major and Black Aware
ness Committee chairperson,
said although the administra
tion is under restraints, the
new proposal does not seem to
be in the best interest of minor
ity recruitment.
“As long as criteria such as
legacy and interest in the
Corps of Cadets is in place,
then there is still work to be
done,” Curley said.
Other campus minority lead
ers said the changes focus on
stereotypes.
Donovan Wheatfall, junior
business analysis major said the
changes are not focused on in
creasing minority enrollment.
“The three changes do not ad
dress minority enrollment but
rather it feeds into a stereotypical
notion that all minorities come in
unprepared for college so there
fore we try to catch more minori
ties in the provisional net,”
Wheatfall said.
Wheatfall also raised con
cerns about the emphasis
placed on athletic recruiting.
“A&M heavily recruits foot
ball players, but why isn’t
there increased budgeting to
heavily recruit minorities who
are qualified?,” Wheatfall said.
The third change will take
place in 1998 and will focus on
revamping the criteria set for
admitting high school students.
David Washington, a former
student, said although the at
tempt to find a criteria appeal
ing to minorities is a start, the
university still needs to create
a more appealing environment
and image.
Computers

“We’ve had some complaints;
that’s one reason we’re going to
a more user-friendly disk —
from a DOS base to a Windows
base,” Tomkins said. “We were
hindered by the age of the com
puters. Koch has helped us with
that; otherwise, students would
have to go somewhere else.”
AGS
Continued from Page 1
Williams said.
Ten members of 01’ AGS
wrote the constitution in late
September 1995, earning the
group recognition by the Univer
sity. Charles Goodman, under
graduate coordinator of the de
partment of management, is the
faculty adviser of the group.
After the group was estab
lished, the original 10 members
selected officers and the rest of
the members.
Williams said the group con
sists of a wide cross-section of
A&M leaders. A majority of the
members are from Student Gov
ernment and the MSC.
Although there are no written
criteria for membership, a male
student must be a sophomore, in
volved in A&M activities, and some
type of leader in order to join.
“We’re trying to bring leaders
from different organizations to
gether,” Williams said. “You
have to love the school and love
being involved.”
At one point, there were
about 50 members, but about 10
of them graduated this year. In
the fall, Ol’ AGS plans to accept
30 more members.
Two functions will be held the
first week of school to meet all
the applicants. A barbecue is
planned, and a formal event may
be held in the press box of Kyle
Field, but this is not certain.
This past year, Ol’ AGS mem
bers have been trying to orga
nize the group.
“It was a hard year trying to
get started and focused,”
Williams said.
The first service project Ol’
AGS participated in was the es
cort pilot program Tuesday night.
They staffed the Guard Room.
A volleyball tournament is
scheduled for the spring of 1997.
Either a golf tournament or a 42
tournament is going to be spon
sored by OF AGS in the fall.

“Everyone comes to A&M
with their own identity,” Hen
derson said. “The program
points out it is important to keep
your identity when you come to
A&M, but also to realize who the
people are around you, and ac
cept them for who they are.”
In response to freshman de

They are also planning on adopt

Jason Jaymes, a junior com
puter science major, said the
money earned from these tour
naments will be given back to
A&M. Ol’ AGS wants to donate
the money to different student
organizations on campus, but
they have not decided which or
ganizations to contribute to.
They also want to set up scholar
ships for A&M students.
Williams said the members
watched Monday Night Foot
ball together every week in the
fall of 1995, and Ol’ AGS has a
team in almost every intramur
al sport. A crush and date party
were also held.
Trip Franty, OT AGS vice-
president of finance and a ju
nior animal science major, said
he joined the group because of
its potential.
“I was looking at the list of
people who had shown an inter
est in it (OL AGS), and the type
of leadership talent they dis
played,” Franty said. “With the
potential of putting those types
of leaders together, it was excit
ing to think of everything they
could accomplish.”
Franty said as a member of
Ol’ AGS he has met many differ
ent type of people. He said he
has learned a lot about other or
ganizations on campus.
Franty said one of Ol’ AGS’
goals is to give money and ser
vice directly back to A&M.
“We have good ideas, and we
are open to anything to help bene
fit Texas A&M,” Franty said.
Tom Roeh, a junior electrical
engineering major, said he has
learned many leadership tech
niques from other members of
the group.
“I have really learned a lot
and met a lot of people,” Roeh
said. “Eve learned about myself
and what I want to do when I
get older. It’s (Ol’ AGS) taught
me how to communicate and
work with others.”
Roeh said they want to project
a positive image of Texas A&M.
to the 1996 Fish Camp schedule.
Christi Moore, Department of
Student Activities adviser, said
this addition will allow for the
accommodation of 98 percent of
freshmen wanting to attend.
“I’m just excited about the
number of freshmen we are go
ing to be able to take to camp
this year — the number is over
whelming,” Moore said. “We are
going with 1,000 more (people)
than last year. ... That was one
of our goals for this year and we
have exceeded even what we
thought was possible.”
Amanda Patterson, a May
graduate from the Recreation,
Park and Tourism Sciences De
partment, said she was frustrated
when she could not update her re
sume at the Career Center.
“It was time-consuming to
have to go another computer
lab,” Patterson said. “I wish
they had updated the system
before I graduated. It sounds
like it will be good for people
who want to use the place
ment center in the future.”

Johnson said Allen’s
Olympic performance made up
for a disappointing junior sea
son for the Aggies.
“He had mono during the sea

and that was a disappointing
setback (for his chances of being
drafted),” Johnson said.
Despite posting modest num
bers for the Aggies in 1996 (.367,
5, 41), Allen will conclude his
collegiate career with a .350 av
erage, 19 homers and 130 RBIs.
“Anytime you lose a player of

Allen follows in the footsteps
of several A&M athletes and
coaches. Aggie Football safety
Typail McMullen was dismissed
from the team last month for vi
olating unspecified team rules as
was linebacker Chris Colon.
Reserve quarterback Kevin
Colon immediately followed on
his own accord.
Long-time Aggie coaches David
Kent (men’s tennis) and Bob Brock
(softball) also stepped down from
their posts during the spring.
Johnson said he feels no re
sentment toward Allen’s deci
sion to leave A&M a year early.
“This is just a part of College
Baseball and we knew going in
that there was a distinct possi
bility of this happening,” John
son said. “We would have loved
to have him back for his senior
year, but we wanted him to do
what was best for him.
“I hold no remorse — we only
wish him the best of luck.”
