UNIVERSITY (Next to the Hilton) V 846-6823 J Ross Continued from Page 1 Dr. Douglas Guthrie, a Waco his torian, will speak at the rededica tion highlighting Ross’ contribu tions to the state of Texas. Ross’ family moved to Waco from Iowa a year after he was born, in 1839. He served the state as a Texas Ranger, sheriff of McLennan County, governor of Texas and president of Texas A&M. Ross was also a brigadier general in the Confederacy. According to University Archives, Ross is known as one of the most colorful figures in A&M’s history. He is credited with saving A&M from becoming a central Texas mental hospital in the late 1800s. His mem ory is kept alive on the A&M cam pus by a statue in front of the Acad emic Building and by the Ross Volunteers. Joe Fenton, curator of the Sam Houston Sanders Corps of Cadets Center Museum and Class of ’58, said Ross was probably the fore most individual to secure A&M’s future. “He was indeed a soldier, states man and knightly gentleman be cause he insisted on that kind of at titude,” Fenton said. He said the rededication will at tract a number of Confederate orga nizations because of Ross’ notoriety. “That’s going to be a big shindig with every Confederate organiza tion in the country,” Fenton said. The Corps of Cadets will not at tend the rededication as a group. Cindy Ericson, Deputy Corps Commander and a senior in ternational studies and political science major, said the Civil War is still a sensitive subject to many people and the Corps wants to re main objective. “Although we feel extremely loyal to Gen. Ross because of what he did for Texas and for A&M, we’re aware of the diplomatic implications of going en masse,” she said in refer ence to Ross’ involvement with the Confederacy. The Corps will send a represen tative from the Corps staff to the rededication. The rededication of Ross’ grave will be Saturday at 9 a.m. at Oak- wood Cemetery in Waco. The ceme tery is at the corner of LaSalle and 5th streets at the south end of the Baylor University campus. Evaluations Continued from Page 1 The Student Senate also passed the Post-Tenure Review Policy Support Resolution, supporting the post-tenure review policy approved by the Faculty Senate Oct. 14. Josh Duncan, Faculty Senate liaison and a sophomore general studies major, introduced the bill. He said the Board of Regents mandates that a post-tenure review poli cy be implemented. The Student Senate should support this policy, he said, because the Facul ty Senate’s policy takes into consideration how the policy will affect the re cruitment and retainment of A&M faculty. “Tenure attracts a lot of professors, and having a post-tenure review policy will detour a lot of professors,” Duncan said. "It (the policy) really does a good job to make it not too stringent, not too harsh. We need this post-tenure review policy and it’s either going to be by the Board of Re gents or the Faculty Senate.” Thomas Matheson, a senator for the College of Engineering and a senior industrial engineering major, said he supported the resolution because there had to be a policy and the Faculty Senate should be its creator. “I think we should trust them (the Faculty Senate members) to know bet ter than the Board of Regents what to do,” Matheson said. A Muster Ceremony bill was brought up as emergency legislation. The bill proposes that to allow all students to attend Muster, all tests end by 3:35 p.m. on April 21 and students not be penalized for missing a class after 3:35 p.m. on April 21. The Senate recommended that students still be held responsible for material covered. The bill was passed unanimously. The Bryan Anniversary Resolution, which wished the city of Bryan a happy 125th anniversary, passed unanimously also. A copy of the bill was presented to Kandy Rose, a member of the Bryan City Council. An Officer Elections Efficiency bill was also passed. Policy Continued from Page 1 The Texas Higher Educa tion Coordinating Board (THECB) decides who is eli gible for in-state tuition at all Texas universities. Jim Ashlock, executive di rector for University Rela tions, said A&M must follow the Board’s directives in the admissions process. "There are pretty specific laws that you must be clear, unquestionable, bona fide resi dents of the state,” Ashlock said. "In many cases, military dependents do qualify, espe cially those who grew up here or their parents were home-or j property-owners here.” Jay Johnson, who is deputy commander of Picatinny Arse- j nal in New Jersey, said his fam- j ily meets every residence crite rion set by the Board except having a business association in the state, which his job will not allow. “Because of Federal Ethics Procurement laws, it is illegal for me to have these relation- | ships before I retire,” he said. I “There appears to be no effec tive appeal procedure.” The Johnsons sent the ; Board of Regents a follow-up letter in the first week of Octo ber but have not received a re sponse. “They have stalled,” Pat Johnson said. “I think it’s horri ble that they can send military personnel all over the world, having to endure tremendous hardships on the family, and | not cooperate for the children’s education.” Donald Carter, registrar, said he did not want to dis cuss the issue. “It’s a sensitive subject right now,” he said. “It’s being | handled by the System’s legal office.” The Johnsons are not alone in their battle. Other military families are fighting the out-of- state tuition, which costs $7,000 a year more than in state tuition. Gorina Kroescheo, a sopho more accounting major, pays out-of-state tuition.
