Campus Friday Page December 13,1 A&M Continued from Page 1 Ring Dunking The familiar sight of seniors dunking their Aggie Rings in pitch ers of beer ended this semester un der the direction of the Texas Alco holic Beverage Commission. The move came in response to a state law prohibiting the sale of alcohol in a container larger than 32 ounces for consumption by one person. Don Ganter, owner and founder of the Dixie Chicken, be gan offering 32-ounce schooners for ring-dunking to replace the 60-ounce pitchers. Ganter said he still sells the glass pitchers as keepsakes to students, but he sells them empty. Servings larger than 32 ounces are still available for groups larger than one person. Post-Tenure Review The Board of Regents mandated that each of the 10 schools in the Texas A&M University System must develop a process to evaluate tenured faculty. A&M-College Sta tion was the last campus in the Sys tem to develop a post-tenure re view process. Although some members of the Faculty Senate strongly op posed the measure, the Senate submitted its recommendation to the Board of Regents follow ing its October meeting. Chancellor Barry Thompson sent a letter to the Board of Re gents Nov. 21 stating that all Sys tem schools complied with the mandate. The Board of Regents will review the processes from each of the schools next semester. Steve Oberhelman, speaker of the Faculty Senate, said he is opti mistic the Board will approve the process without change. Hopwood vs. The State of Texas The United States Supreme Court declined to hear the Universi ty of Texas’ case on race-based ad missions in their upcoming session. The 5th Circuit Court’s decision ended preferential admissions and university scholarships at all Texas universities. Mississippi and Louisiana also fall under the 5th Circuit Court’s decision, but cite other legal precedents as reasons for non-compliance. In a forum on Nov. 12, legal experts and university officials from around the state investigat ed the future of minority admis sions in Texas. Texas Higher Education Coordi nating Board Commissioner Ken neth Ashworth expressed concern that surrounding states would draw minorities away from Texas schools with minority scholarships that Texas is no longer able to offer. Currently, Texas and Califor nia are the only states in the na tion that do not offer admissions and scholarships with race as a deciding factor. Don Davis Don Davis Jr., a 1995 A&M graduate, was indicted in March in connection with two rapes on the A&M campus in 1995. Re leased on a $150,000 bond, Davis disappeared on August 21, five days before his trial. Davis’s car was found near a Lit- de Rock, Ark., airport in September. Davis’s parents were arrested in connection with his disappearance. University Police Department Detective Sgt. Jim Lindholm said the ongoing search for Davis left them with no leads, but the investi gation will continue indefinitely ‘‘Don Davis will eventually sur face,” he said. “When he does, he will be arrested.” “As long as I’m a police officer and Mr. Davis is running around free, I will be hunting him.” SSFAB The Student Services Fee Alloca tion Board’s proposal to cut the budgets of five University depart ments was approved by the Student Senate March 9. Laurent Therival, Student Gov ernment vice president of finance and former chair of the fee alloca tion committee, said the board wanted to avoid increasing student fees as much as possible. Therival said the budget cuts were intended to make the organi zations operate more efficiently. mmmms wmmmmmm HOME: 50% OFF SALE 29.99 50% OFF AMERICA’S FAVORITE DESIGNER CAREER & CASUAL COLLECTIONS Misses, petites and women’s.
