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

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. Her father,
