Peggy Philpot, council adviser,
said many non-traditional seniors
want to participate in University
activities before they graduate, but
do not want to be tied down to an
organization.
Ivers said the council is designed
to be flexible for those who will not
be able to participate for more than
a semester but want to be involved.
Melissa Love, council treasurer
and a senior accounting major, said
the council will provide older seniors
a connection to the University.
"Once we finish the four-year
mark, we begin to feel separated
from A&M,” Love said. "This (the
council) will help us stay connected
and will help us make the transition
from students to former students.”
Philpot said many of the students
wanted to start networking with

Hulk Hogan is a bad guy and the Macho Man sells meat by-products.,
WWF has a self-proclaimed tough “s.o.b” in Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Austin should be a favorite at A&M since he is always threatening to

Wresding is tackier than fly paper sitting out during a Texas summer,a®
