Campaign
Continued from Page 1
“Our students are creative with
campaigning,” Adair said. “I
think most of what they are
doing is legal. I saw a lot more
off-campus campaigning, and
we had a lot more people vote
this year.”
Opponents of decreasing
campaign spending argue that
more violations will occur if the
current budget for student body
president candidates is lowered.
Joe Williamson, comptroller
of the Student Senate and a
freshman business major, said
candidates need to have
increased budgets but heavier
fines for spending violations.
“I want to see a bill to increase
spending limits and to increase
fines for those who violate
spending limits,” Williamson
said. “They should increase the
spending limit because only a
small percentage of students
received a copy of the platform
from the candidates.”
Curtis Childers, the 1997-98
student body president and a
senior agricultural development
major, said he has mixed feelings
over the current debate involving
campaign spending.
“If you lower the limit, you lower
the amount spent in real num
bers,” Childers said. “Campaign
period is not just three weeks
before elections. It’s the whole
semester. When we campaign off
campus, we have a higher voter
turnout. We need to go where peo
ple are, so we should be able to
campaign off campus.”
Chase said student body elec
tions need some changes, but he
does not support increasing the
budget.
“After working with the student
elections commission and talking
to candidates, I would love to see
some revisions,” he said. “One
school of thought is that campaign
ers should reach out to voters with
massive name distribution.”
Williamson said increasing
the budget caps for student body
president candidates would like
ly increase the accuracy of bud
get reports.
Tim Sweeney, the yell leader
adviser and associate director of
student activities, said he has never
seen campaigning so intense for
Texas A&M student body elections.
“This has been the most active
campaigning I have seen, and I
have been here for 17 years,”
Sweeney said.
Sweeney said this year’s tension
between the Corps of Cadets can
didates and non-Corps candidates
for yell leaders should not happen
in the future.
“Everybody deserves a shot at
running for yell leader,” Sweeney
said. “If a group, whether it be non-
regs or Greeks, puts together a
coalition of supporters on campus
they deserve a shot.”
Sophomores Mike Lemonds
and Wesley Butler, neither mem
bers of the Corps, advanced to
the runoff elections this year.
Pat Patillo, a senior yell leader
candidate, said students will
elect who they want despite the
money spent on the campaign.
“No matter how much you
spend, the students will go out
and elect whoever they want,”
Patillo said. “It’s whoever works
the hardest to go out, campaign
and get to know the students.”
Despite more intense cam
paigning, Van Eman said elected
yell leaders and other winners in
the elections did not come close
to exceeding their budgets.
Yell leaders have a cap of
$700. RHA president candidates
have a cap of $350.
Class council presidents have
a $250 cap. All other candidates
have a spending cap of $100.

“If a student is a victim and the perpetrator is on campus,
then we can hold that person accountable.”
Lt. Bert Kretzschmar, supervisor of crime prevention
unit for the University Police Department (UPD),
addressed the consequences of abusive relationships and
outlets of assistance.
“When you become involved in an abusive relationship,
it can ruin your college life and your entire life,”
Kretzschmar said. “If you need help, seek counseling. If you
feel like you are a victim, then all you have to do is talk to a
detective. We will pursue the case free of charge.”
The most frequent calls involving abusive relationships
are simple assaults, Class C misdemeanors punishable by a
$500 fine. The UPD received reports of 46 simple assaults,
which involve counts of slapping, pushing and inappropri
ate grabbing.
Kretzschmar said a good percentage of reported simple
assaults stem from dating relationships.
Criminal harassment is punishable by up to 180 days in
jail and a $2,000 fine. Depending on the situation, a person
charged with assault may receive a fine ranging from $500 to
$10,000 and a sentence of up to 10 years in jail. Sexual
assault, which includes rape, is punishable by up to 20 years
in jail and a $10,000 fine.
Phoebe’s Home coordinates the Project Date program
which is designed to educate teenagers and college students
about the consequences of abuse in relationships.
Peterson said the forum, like Project Date, makes an
effort to increase awareness on the campus.
“A lot of people do not see a relationship as abusive,
and people may get sidetracked on violence,” Peterson
said. “The program teaches you how to help a person
(involved in an abusive relationship) and to make sure
services are available.”
Phoebe’s Home sheltered 272 women and 258 children
during the 1997 year, according to officials.
Nonresidential and counseling services assisted 116
women, 63 children and 2 men last year, according to
reports from the shelter.
Those who seek help or have questions concerning abu
sive relationships may contact Phoebe’s Home.
IRS official says agency
mistreats whistle-blowers
WASHINGTON (AP) — IRS whistle
blowers “are ostracized and their
careers destroyed” while senior officials
go unpunished for fraud and abuse, an
agency executive testified Tuesday as
the Senate opened new hearings on
alleged abuse and mismanagement.
Yvonne D. DesJardins, who heads
the IRS chief counsel’s employee and
labor relations section, described
herself as a whistle-blower who also
handled many reports of misconduct
against senior tax agency officials
between 1994 and 1996.
She cited a sexual harassment case
by an unidentified senior official, which
resulted in a recommendation of disci
plinary action. “It remained on the
deputy commissioner’s desk for over
two years at which time the executive
retired and the case was closed,” Des
Jardins told the committee.
Later, IRS Deputy Commissioner
Michael P. Dolan issued a statement
saying the agency will review disci
pline of senior managers under his
watch as part of a broader examina
tion of internal policing. “I welcome
this review of the disciplinary deter
minations I have made,” Dolan said.
Amid the scrutiny, the Clinton
administration announced the appoint
ment of former FBI and CIA Director
William Webster to review the practices
of the tax agency’s criminal investigative
division. IRS Commissioner Charles O.
Rossotti said Webster is part of a broad
er review of the agency’s inner workings.
Rossotti will request a meeting
with Des Jardins to discuss her testi
mony, the agency said. ‘‘Today we
heard very serious allegations, which
we will thoroughly review,” the IRS
said in a statement.
She told the Finance Committee,
‘‘The whistle-blowers are ostracized
and careers destroyed and those senior
officials who engaged in the miscon
duct which was reported and substan
tiated are not only protected from
receiving any disciplinary actions but
are oftentimes rewarded during the
same year the misconduct occurred.”
She also made allegations of abuse
of IRS travel policy, such as unautho
rized hotel stays or personal use of
frequent flier tickets generated on
government trips.
This week, Democrats released an
internal Treasury report that found no
evidence to back up most of her testi
mony, particularly that low-income
taxpayers were being singled out for
audits and IRS management was ‘‘fab
ricating evidence” against taxpayers.
But the report sided with Long in say
ing IRS management appeared to treat
managers differently from employees
in disciplinary cases.
The new round of hearings drew
criticism from Sen. Max Baucus, D-
Mont., who said that while the IRS
needed improvement the sessions
lacked balance and ‘‘failed to rise
above partisan politics.”
‘‘Passing a solid restructuring bill
will do more to get the IRS on track
than a hundred of these hearings
where we sit, pontificate and play
politics,” Baucus said.
