laced Puryear and Law residence
halls has created controversy as
well as nostalgia.
Demolition of the halls, which
are some of the oldest on campus,
began in August.
Jesse Czelusta, Resident Hall
Association president and a senior
agricultural economics major, said
RHA is planning a memorial after
the dorms’ demolition.
“There will be a memorial,”
Czelusta said. “We wanted to come
up with a way to commemorate the
buildings.”
A date for the commemoration
has not been set, Czelusta said. No
decisions have been made con
cerning how the acreage will be
used after the halls are gone.
The inconveniences of con
struction will continue on cam
pus for several years to come.
Some, however, are looking on
the bright side.
Adele Marshall, whose daughter
is a freshman journalism major at
A&M, said the construction’s long
term benefits outweigh the short
term inconveniences.
“Of course the construction is
an eyesore and an inconvenience,”
she said. "But it will pay off for the
students in the end.”
AUSTIN (AP) — A San Antonio
appeals court race is being jetti
soned from the November ballot
after a Texas Supreme Court ruling
that a special election would
infringe on the governor’s appoint
ment powers.
A lawyer in the case predicted
Tuesday the move will trigger a
federal court challenge under the
U.S. Voting Rights Act.
“The voters lost,” said Buck
Wood, lawyer for Judge Phil
Hardberger.
The secretary of state’s office
is writing to tell county officials
that the 4th Court of Appeals
post currently held by
Hardberger will not be on the
ballot due to the court decision,
said Elizabeth Hanshaw of the
agency’s elections division.
Hardberger, a Democrat, is run
ning unopposed to become the 4th
Court’s chief justice. That means he
will take the higher office in
January, and his position as associ
ate justice will become vacant.
Hardberger on June 20 told
Republican Gov. George W. Bush
that he would resign his current
spot effective Jan. 1. He said he
wanted to make clear that he
wouldn’t serve the remaining four
years of his associate justice term
and thus allow an election to be
held in November to replace him.
But Bush had contended state
law allowed him to appoint
Hardberger’s replacement after
eight days, even if Hardberger
didn’t intend to resign right away.
So Bush appointed Republican
San Antonio attorney Karen
“The voters
have lost.”
Buck Wood
Lawyer for Judge Phil
Hardberger
Angelini to replace Hardberger
pending the election. In November,
Angelini was to face Democrat
James Branton to keep the spot.
Because Hardberger refused
to leave his seat until January,
the state asked the Supreme
Court to declare his post vacant.
The Supreme Court refused, say
ing Hardberger stays in office
until his resignation is effective.
The court also said
requiring a special election to
Hardberger’s seat before heat:
ally resigns would unconsti
tionally infringe on the goi
nor’s appointment powers.
The ruling allows the gover:
to appoint Hardberger’s repla
ment in January, to serve u;
the 1998 general electii
according to a court opinion
“They have ruled that:
vacancy has not taken pli
because the person has i
vacated the office,” Hansla
said. “We are moving forward
comply with that decision, i
we are instructing the court!
that that office will not appear
their general election ballot.'
Becky Pestana, also of thes
retary of state’s office, said
ruling directly affects 36 coun
in the appeals court’s juris;
tion. She said the secretan
state is informing all coi
clerks in Texas of the ruling.
“If the same type of situao
happens in another county,
court’s decision could have
impact. County clerks need
know what the court decide
she said.

communication with the students is not there.
“I can have all the goals I want, but if it is not what the
students want, than I’m not really doing my job.”
The love that Reed has for A&M is apparent in his efforts
to help the school through Student Government. However,
his perception of A&M does not fit the stereotypical mold.
“I participate in all of the traditions at A&M, but I
wouldn’t call myself a die-hard Aggie,” he said.
“There are a lot of students who are here to get an edu
cation, to be students and not be Aggies. And I feel bad for
those people who are here to be students because they get
a lot of harassment they don’t deserve."
Reed holds high regard for education and feels some
students are prioritizing incorrecdy.
“We have to find a balance between tradition and
enhancing our education,” he said. Reed will pursue law
after graduation and said his goals will be reached only if “I
am true to myself and stand up for what I believe in.”
the humanities he had taken, especially
Latin and Greek.
His interest in the classics, along with
a "lack of success in pre-med,” pushed
him toward a bachelor’s in Latin educa
tion from UM. A university fellowship
kept him there to earn a master’s degree
and a doctorate.
Postdoctorate work took Oberhelman
to the American School of Classical
Studies in Athens, Greece. While there, he
was part of an archaeological dig in the
ancient city of Corinth and a survey of
the island of Crete.
His interest in research and teaching
brought him to Aggieland in 1987 as an
assistant professor. His success brought
him tenure a year later and earned him a
full professorship in 1992.
