C The Battalion ampus Tuesday • October 21 Bowen Burns Continued from Page 1 Earlier this month, Bowen an nounced three multimillion dollar endowment progams at A&M’s Academic Convocation. The endowments will be used for student scholarships, the Corps of Cadets and endowed professorships. Bowen said the convocation al lowed the University to reflect on its ac complishments and plan for the future. “There are a lot of distinguished people here and the convocation gives us a chance to recognize them,” he said. “People can walk out and feel good about the University.” Bowen also said at the convocation that A&M’s primary goal for the next century is to become one of the top 10 public universities in the nation. Bowen said improvements at Evans Library, the George Bush School of Government and the Mays donation to the College of Business! have helped improve A&M. “I’d like to see us continue to have more scholarships and more endowed chairs,” he said. Bowen received his bachelor’s de gree from A&M in 1958. He returned to the University in 1961 to get his doctorate in mechanical engineering. Bowen said the University’s ap pearance has transformed since his days as a student. “When I got here, I got out a map from 1958 to see what had changed and to get calibrated with the University.” Bowen said his family encour aged him to attend A&M. “I had two older brothers who had already been here and a father who felt it was the right thing to do,” he said. After receiving his doctorate, Bowen served three years of active duty at the Air Force Institute of Technology at Dayton, Ohio. He began his professional career in 1965 when he joined the me chanical engineering faculty at Louisiana State University. Before becoming president of A&M, Bowen was appointed provost and vice president of acad emic affairs at Oklahoma State Uni versity in 1991 and later served as interim president of OSU. Since becoming president of A&M, Bowen said his greatest con cern is the Hopwood decision, which effectively decreased minor ity enrollment at A&M. “If we don’t have a diverse stu dent body, we don’t prepare people for the real world,” he said. “The real world has diversity.” Bowen said he thinks the Hop- wood decision will not be a perma nent ruling. “I don’t think it is the ultimate decision,” he said. “I think at some point it will change.” Continued from Page 1 Burns has served as the executive vice president for MSC Relations and the MSC Council. He served as president of the Lechner Hall Council and was se lected as a sophomore group leader for Aggie Lead ers of Tomorrow (ALOT). He has been a Fish Camp counselor for three years. “There is nowhere that you feel like an Aggie more than you do at Fish Camp,” Burns said. “It is a great way to give back to Texas A&M and it is a contribution to the freshman class.” Burns has participated in the OF Army Gentle men’s Society, the Residence Hall Association and Student Senate. Burns said A&M has made advancements in stu dent organizations, athletics and academics. As MSC president, he said he has seen improvement in com munication and cooperation between student orga nizations on campus. “I think that our programs are going to get better and better,” Burns said. “Now I see student organiza tions working together to augment each other. We are addressing campus unity. We have opened up dia logue between the organizations.” The success of committees and programs drives Burns to contribute more than 40 hours a week to the MSC. “From a personal point of view, finding time to do everything that I want to do has been challenging,” Burns said. “I like to spend time with my friends and just hang out and listen to music on my front porch.” Burns has received several honors for his commit ment to the MSC, including the Rudder Award for Outstanding Service and Leadership. Tim Slaughter, his roommate and a senior indus trial distribution major, said he has known Burns since he was a freshman and ran against him last year for the office of MSC president. “He was my sophomore adviser at Lechner and my rap group leader in ALOT,” Slaughter said. “Nellson has a tremendous way with people and I think that has helped him as a leader.
