■ ,, () /\ ^stly One of the four issues chosen was the Texas
' ' hgswffuition Assistance Grant (TTAG) which
^ u m '’Vh bet^assed in the Legislature in 1991. The grant
11 ' in ''and vill provide tuition at state-supported schools
ctii or qualified students.
I- n U, hfiJStudents from lower middle-class income
s ami lies who graduate in the top 20 percent
ngrjtflheir high school class are eligible to ap-
•-ci aly for the money. Recipients are required to
id,maintain a minimum 3.0 grade-point ratio.
1 L Thirteen A&M students will receive the tu-
h tion assistance in 1997. Obenhaus said the
af egislative relations committee will push for
P- additional funding and greater support from
cfi the Legislature for TTAG.
go I Obenhaus said the grant is modeled after
the Hope Scholarship in Georgia, which may
pr, pej used at public, private, technical and
shi|$rade schools.
duoMWe hope to get that one day in Texas also,”
she said.
i Flexible tuition, another of the forum’s top
es, could also face Texas legislators this year,
Obenhaus said.
:Mg Fhey’re (Legislature) proposing to let the
Board of Regents decide what our tuition
vould be and to let it be market-driven,” she
>aid “We don’t want our Board of Regents set
ting our tuition. It would send the prices up
tremendously.”
A proposed fee simplification bill was also
selected as one of the four issues to be dis
cussed at the forum.
Under the proposed bill, student fees
would be broken down into three cate
gories for every state college and university.
The tuition would continue to be set by the
“We don't want our Board of
Regents setting our tuition.
It would send the prices up
tremendously.”

relations chair
state, the General Use Fee would continue
to be set by the Board of Regents, but the
Student Services Fees would be voted on as
a referendum by the entire student body of
each institution.
Reed said the difficulty of educating the en
tire student body with the proper information
makes the referendum infeasible.
The final issue chosen by the forum was
having a student on the Board of Regents.
Obenhaus said this issue has been
brought before the Legislature every year
without success.
“This next year we want to see if there’s an
other way,” she said. “We do not want to pur
sue the Legislature again.”
Josh Golden, student body president atTar-
leton, said seeking help from the governor
would be the best option.
“I would say we have a better chance of go
ing through him (Gov. Bush) than we’ve ever
had before,” he said.
Golden said several states in the southeast
already have a student regent or an ex officio
student member of the Board.
“Most of the members of the Board haven’t
been in school for a long time,” he said. “They
need to treat us as customers and we need to
choose the product we want.”
Golden said a student voice on the Board
would be more important than-having a vote
on the Board.
“The power of voice extends beyond
vote,” he said.
Obenhaus said students should express
their opinions not only to the representatives
from their school’s district but to their home
town districts as well.
“Let’s start knocking on our representa
tives’ and senators’ doors,” she said.
