Traditionally, A&M views
diversity as skin color. This lim

negates the benefits that other
minority groups, such as
homosexual and bisexual stu
dents, offer to a large student
body.
Clearly, things are changing
quickly for A&M students. The
concept of a population of
homosexuals attending, much
less organizing themselves into
a cohesive organization would
be shocking to alumni of mere

The move to the Big 12, the
increase in undergraduate
enrollment and the programs
put forward by the administra
tion to steer A&M to be the first
choice among Texas students
have opened the doors of the
registrar’s office to those who
may not have considered A&M
as an option in the past.
Such students are not neces
sarily homosexual, but the
increase of A&M’s reputation,
statewide and nationally, have
certainly placed differences in
the socioeconomic stance
between recent accepted stu
dents and their predecessors.
As A&M continues to press
