he most red-ass class to ever come through
eland. There is only one problem, Ags. If
ne were to come to our class meetings, they
lit not know just how proud we are. You see,
about 20 people attend these meetings. My
for next year is to increase class participa-
through more class socials and mixers. I
tat least 99 people at every meeting. I am

eno one else has any doubt either. Thank you
lour time. Gig 'em and God bless. (Next class
eeting: April 9, 301 Rudder.)
As a whole, Class Council has done some tremen
dous things this year. The “Fahrffomwhoopiri” t-shirts
were a huge success, and they sold more than previous
sophomore class t-shirts. Presently, we are selling win
dow stickers for your car, and they are selling well,too.
This year’s council had some extraordinary and original
ideas, and we have several more for the future.
There are two reasons why you should re-elect me
into office. One, I have the experience. I was the Public
Relations Chair for the Class of '99 when I was a fresh
man, and I am VP this year. I know how council works
and what needs to be done to make sure our class is
the best.
Second, you need to elect someone who will dedi
cate their time and energy to your class. This isn't by
far a part-time job, and it requires hard work and con
sistency. I know how much time and effort is needed
to make our class shine. I have been working hard for
the Class of ’99 for two years.
If you love the way your Class Council is working,
re-elect your officers to ensure continued success. My
name is Mandy Gomez, and I am running for vice
president of the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Class of 1999.
Howdy! I’m Brandon Garrett
and I am one of the proudest
members of the Class of 2000!
At Fish Camp, counselors
stressed “the other education,” so I
took their advice.
Now I’m involved in Fish Aides,
Legislative Relations, Senate, Class
Council, Executive Lecture Series,
SBSLC, ExCEL, MEDALS, FACES, and Fish Camp.
I want to be vice president of the Class of 2000
and I will serve my class well. My ideas and objec
tives are to continue with the goals set by the cur
rent Executive Council, as well as adding a few. We
need to have more people involved and aware of
our class projects. One of my ideas for making this
a reality is setting up a division of Class Council
dedicated to speaking and informing organiza
tions about our class ideas.
I also want to see a new tradition implemented.
The Freshmen have Fish Olympics and Fish Ball
and the Juniors and Seniors have a variety of activi
ties (i.e. Ring Dance, E-Walk, etc.), the Sophomores
have nothing. Something is definitely needed for a
class as special as the Class of ‘00 and I intend to
arrange some form of expression for our spirit.
I realize as I near the end of my Fish year, how
much this school has given me and how much it
means to me. I think that its time for me to give
something back to the university that has given
me so much, and with the help of the Fighting
Texas Aggie Class of‘001 can do it. Gig ‘em ’00!

IDIDATE FOR CLASS OF '00 VlCE PRESIDENT
Candidate for Class of '00 Vice President
m m
If selected as Class of 2000 vice
jgK-.,
president, I will fulfill the two goals
1 of Class Council: class promotion
and fund raising. As the Class of
1 2000, we have been given a tremen-
Y
| dous responsibility and opportunity
, to close out the 20th century and
w
| establish a precedence for the class-
w
< t
(ey to meeting this challenge is knowledge of
i activities and fund raisers,
fth knowledge comes involvement and with
llvement comes influence. In order to inform our
would distribute a monthly calendar either
t (Pugh the Residential Advisors or by placing a stack
finjP to The Battalion. This monthly calendar would
^itide the Class of 2000’s many activities. Dates,
2® sand locations of the voluntary committees of
Class Council could be included. Knowledge of
m raising events will allow our class to raise the
le pds necessary to present an honorable class gift to
IsA&M that is a token of our respect for this uni-
jdfty I would also utilize the Class of 2000 e-mail
%eb page, and suggestion box to keep the class
Mated.
, Ibelieve that there is power in numbers. Increased
|fi ivolvement will lead to more ideas being presented,
p ideas can be refined to create the most effec-
Jone. In other words, student input is necessary to
• Jfluence the activities of the Class of 2000.
[Jfte more active our class is in our student govern-
pit, the more responsive it will be to our desires.
Howdy fellow Ags,
How do you feel about promot
ing communication, involvement
and unity throughout the Class of
2000? My name is Kyle Valentine,
and I have based my campaign
and goals upon these three basic
concepts. I am running for the
position of vice president for the
Class of 2000.
One thing I have discovered in college is e-
mail. I would like to devise a monthly newslet
ter to keep our class informed about the hap
penings of our class and its role in the events
taking place and become more involved. By get
ting involved, we are building relationships and
uniting our class.
Turning these goals into realities requires
experience, leadership and ideas. As current
Associate Chair of Texas Aggies Making
Changes, I have seen the inner workings of stu
dent government at Texas A&M first hand.
Government is based upon ideas of the people.
Class of 2000,1 want to know your ideas and
opinions. Listening to fellow Aggies would be a
major and exclusive priority of mine. I want to
represent the Class of 2000.
Through leadership and ideas, the goals of my
campaign are attainable we are leading Texas
A&M into the next millennium, why not lead it in
the right direction? Remember to vote Kyle
Valentine on Mar. 26 and 27.
RHA President Candidate
My main vision as RHA
President would be to make the
on-campus community at Texas
A&M the best in the nation.
Goals while in office:
1) Give hall councils and ordi
nary residents a more direct
voice in changing and improving
on-campus life.
2) Make living on campus in residence halls a
fun and close-knit community.
3) Let other student organizations know
about the variety of successful programming
and leadership opportunities that RHA pro
vides.
I have worked closely with RHA the past two
years as programs director and currently serve
as communications coordinator. While I was
programs director, I coordinated the first ever
Tug-of-Honor. I hope to see this activity
become an Aggie tradition for years to come.
More recently, I was responsible for presenting
A&M’s bid for Texas School of the Year. We have
not received this award in over ten years. Much
to my delight, Texas A&M was honored with the
School of the Year title two weeks ago. I have
seen what a tremendous impact that RHA can
make in changing policy and student life.
Through programming and leadership opportu
nities, the Texas A&M RHA can make on-cam
pus living the best in the nation. I want to lead
RHA to this next level.
