Of those, 250 would be good

those 10.”

Oberhelman said applicants

sizes the importance of tradi
tions and Aggie spirit and
encourages everyone to partic
ipate in a positive manner.
Czelusta said there are posi
tive aspects to the conflicts and
he hopes the event will be more
respectable in the future.
“There is a good side to this,”
Czelusta said. “It reflects the
enthusiasm of the residents. I
hope the tradition will evolve
into something more positive for
College Station’s job market.
Perry said one of the
University’s strong points is the
quality of the faculty already at
A&M. Professors like to work
with other strong professors.
“The biggest
handicap we have
is that our salaries
aren’t competitive
nationally.”
Dr. Ronald Douglas
A&M executive vice presi
dent and provost
The quality of the students is
also a good selling point, he said.
"Teachers like bright and
energetic students,” he said.
“That’s what we have here."
However, money is still a large
part of the picture.

but it is a gradual process that
will not change overnight.”
But some people are accentu
ating the event’s positive side.
Lara Trahan, assistant to
Baggett, said despite the recent
problems, All-University Night
has been successful in the past.
“I think it has gone really
smoothly in the past, consider
ing the number of people that
attend,” Trahan said. “Especially
if you consider the number of
freshmen experiencing it for the
first time.”
“No mistake about it, we have
to offer a salary that is competi
tive,” he said.
Douglas said salaries are mak
ing it increasingly difficult to
attract quality prospects.
“The biggest handicap we
have is that our salaries aren’t
competitive nationally," he said.
Five years ago, A&M salaries
were 95 to 96 percent of what was
being offered by peer institutions,
Douglas said. Last year, the
salaries were around 91 percent.
“The only funds we can see for
salary increases are the general
use fees,” Douglas said. “In
March, we argued for a general
use fee increase.
“We will argue for it again the
next chance we get. The prob
lems haven’t gone away. If any
thing, they’ve exasperated.”
Every Big 12 school, except
A&M, gave across-the-board fac
ulty pay raises last year, he said.
Oberhelman said money will
be the final deciding factor.
“For us to be the best,” he
said, “that takes money.'’

Before the accident, Boenig was
preparing to start work at IBM in
Dallas. IBM has told him that his
job will be waiting for him when he
can go to work.
Boenig said the support from
Texas A&M, his hometown of
Marion, Texas, and his family has
been exceptional.
“The accident really has shown
the Holy Spirit, the Aggie Spirit and
the community spirit of my home
town,” Boenig said. “It's been
amazing.”
