Reed, Student Body President Carl Baggett and Student Services Chair Eliot Kerlin will serve as ex-officio task force members without voting privileges. The diverse make-up of the committee, Reed said, allows it to make informed decisions and utilize several different points of view. The members draw from a wide range of student life perspectives, including both on- and off- campus residents, students who have classes on West Campus and several different majors. Reed said the task force will bring results to campus. “If we can do anything that will make stu dents feel more safe, then we should do that,” he said. “Even if it’s small things, they can make a difference.” MILWAUKEE (AP) — Throwing himself confi dently into the fall campaign, President Clinton celebrated Labor Day with a huge battleground- state rally Monday and fresh attacks on Bob Dole’s tax-cutting plans. Before enthusiastic crowds in Milwaukee and De Pere, Clinton laid out his blueprint for the 21st century and said Dole’s $548 billion tax-cut ting plan would balloon interest rates and make mortgages, credit cards and car loans more expensive for the middle-class. Clinton said the country simply cannot afford it and taxpayers would pay for their tax cuts in the end. “Would you go to the bank yourself and borrow to give yourself a tax cut?” he asked a friendly and largely partisan crowd of at least 25,000 on the banks of the Fox River in De Pere. “Nooooooooooo!” they shouted back. “Then why would you hire someone to do it for you?” Clinton responded, issuing a not-so- veiled slap at Dole. In St. Louis, Dole characterized himself as a "bridge to lower taxes" and said his tax proposal — including an across-the-board 15 percent cut in the income tax rate — amounts to “one big plan (that) gives Americans back more of their hard-earned money.” “Anybody here doesn’t want a tax cut, just raise your hand, we’ll try to single you out,” Dole challenged supporters at a rally in the shadows of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. “No!” the parti san crowd roared back. Dole and running mate Jack Kemp called Clinton’s bridge to the 21st century — a phrase the president has used frequently — “a toll bridge” for which “every inch of the way, you pay and pay and pay.” But Clinton’s attacks on the Dole tax plan res onated with the Labor Day crowd that had packed a city park to hear the president in a state that is a bastion of swing voters. Clinton won Wisconsin in 1992, and polls show him running farther ahead in the state than nationally. An ABC News poll conducted Wednesday and Thursday showed Clinton had edged upward as the Democratic National Convention ended, with 54 percent of regis tered voters preferring him in one tracking poll — 20 percentage points over Dole. History also is on his side: In 60 years of Gallup polls, every presidential candidate with a A n double-digit Labor Day had went on to wia Kemp, campaigning late Monday in Mich., made light of the laest poll results."' got ’em right where we vant ’em — overcta dent,” he told reporters.

We are going to open it up to as many people as we can and then give them projects.” Student Government, Baggett said, does not utilize all of the students. “There ought to be something else,” he said. “We don’t need to lose those people. There are too many people who try and then say, ‘Forget it, I’m done.’” see more minorities attend A&M, and he has an idea to further such a goal. “There are a lot of minorities who apply to A&M and are accepted, but the catch rate is very low,” he said. “We are going to create a committee and we are personal ly going to call each of those stu dents and tell them they are wel come here. We can do that. We have the resources at A&M.” Baggett credits his staff with most of the new ideas. He chose his staff members, he said, for their ability to grow both as individuals and to help the student body. “You get the people excited and set them off in the right direction, and then they grow as a person,” he said. “Our goal ought to be that all the vice pres idents grow so much this year, that all the committee members grow and that all the other stu- Bowen Continued from Page 1 know we (the administration) are not just here to spend their money.” Roger Gordon, a sophomore geophysics major, is a student who has taken advantage of the presi dent’s open-door policy. He said students should not feel intimidat ed by the president. “Dr. Bowen is a very friendly person and was happy to see me,” Gordon said. “He answered all my questions and even told me about some of the jobs available to people with my degree.” Gordon said that during his 45- minute meeting with Bowen, he gained a better understanding of policy issues. “After he (Bowen) explained why fee increases are important, I had a much better perspective on the issue,” Gordon said. “He swung me When Bowen has sime time, he sometimes mentis evenings walking his Jaugtf 1 springer spaniel, Abbe/, arffl campus.
