Denton said only 15 percent of udents in the program are in- ilved in field-based education, feh involves students learning in tualclassrooms with children. “|But] we’ve still got a ways to go iget everyone in the field-based iucation program,” Denton said. .LINTON ontinued from Page 1 Wearing jeans and a blue denim lirt, the president also toured Col- geStation, a predominately black I immunity outside Little Rock that as nearly wiped out by the killer lorms. “It makes me feel better nowing that he cares,” said Kelton ieyland, 22, whose mother died in ie tornado. “He didn’t have to ome through here.” At least 25 were killed in the icekend storms.

Arkadelphia looked like a war tone Tuesday, with piles of brick tad mortar replacing homes and businesses, cars flipped upside lownor left crushed on a lift in ade- troyedshop, and people now job less and homeless and wondering what to do next. Clinton shook hundreds of hands and patted dozens of backs, as he walkedinthe street, gingerly stepping over jagged pieces of glass, rusty nails andbrokenbits of brick and mortar.

Bo nd that t half of n itself r with all :e you’re ithyour Continued from Page 1 “You want a board that reflects the student tody from year to year,” Howell said. “You don’t rant a three- to four-year attitude of the past itudentbody.” Howell said it is easier to take what the stu- ientshave to offer on a roll-over basis to help iiversify the group. Ifyou have the same people on the committee ortoolong, you kind of characterize the board,” fewellsaid. “You don’t want to have preconceived i, It’s not something you want, and it would be . [detriment to the purpose of the board.” f|3k6 The former system assigned one or two mem- >ersto a certain department, and they learned the letails and background of that particular area. However, some members were well-informed tudio al fmtheir assigned departments while others were together lot, Howell said. The new guidelines were implemented hrough three stages last semester. >ur rangers: for a b nd made gntTues- most lo) 1 i concert ■ u ropear i '‘Some -heduleo 3e single ARD For example, the board held several training sessions during which the budget process was explained and Dr. J. Malon Southerland, vice- president for Student Affairs, explained fee process terminology. The elimination of the liaison system meant the board would have to analyze the 20 different departments through another process. The process initiated last semester had each department submit material explaining its pur pose and the outcome of the money spent. Then the members listened to department represen tatives and their funding requests. After the presentations, the board deliberat ed and formulated their recommendations on the departmental budgets. Faye Little, board chair and a junior agricul tural business and finance major, said the new guidelines have helped various groups. “It’s an efficient process this year and the over all communication with the Graduate Student Council, Student Senate and the Vice President for Student Affairs Office and the administration in general [contributes to the efficiency]Little said. Dr. Bill Kibler, main adviser of the board and associate vice president for Student Affairs, said the board allows students to make projections based on millions of dollars. “It reflects A&M’s commitment to having students involved in making critical decisions,” Kibler said. Last semester also signaled the change of name from “committee” to “board.” Kibler said the board has not been a part of the Student Sen ate for so long that the name change was made to make the final distinction. Little said the change in name demonstrates more of the board’s current purpose. “The change from ‘committee’ to ‘board’ is so wonderful because it goes from students being auditors of the budget to more like a barometer of student opinion,” Little said. Little said the board is effective in its fee rec ommendations, considering that the individ ual budgets have to be adjusted after the rec ommendation is made. But the overall figure stays the same. “The bottom-line figure has never been changed by the vice presidents office.” Little said. MSG Political Forum presents: ‘Wkitcwatesi: TM What is Whitewater?
