"Students spend time with area
hools to see if teaching is right for

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.

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.
Touring the devastation in his
Bine state "makes me more sensi-
ive to what’s happened” in other
tales hit by natural disasters, Clin-
ansaid. “People need to know you
re there for them.”

UGore and James Lee Witt, direc-

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.

“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.

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.
