Dr. Lucille Isdale, director of student health services for the Health Center, said employing Blume has given the Health Center an opportunity to offer students more options since she will be available to serve them full time. Blume said she encourages students to take advantage of the services offered by the Health Center because they are paid for by student fees, so students are not charged upon visitation of the center. Blume said she believes the Health Center exhibits a positive relationship with the faculty and students at A&M, and the center provides students with tal ented physicians. “Our goal is to get everyone back to where they were before and back to what they enjoy doing, safely,” Blume said.

BUSH conservatism’ vas IICRAMEN- sereligionktow. (AP) - enty-five Cali- ni.i legislators u' had i' | e( | on T exas ng the meal y _ George w ilk sh to run for isident ations au Tuesday, say- at vvIik , fiis education ir mealsbe Bies and illets toavo ompassionate ike him the strongest candidate a growing GOP field. “I’m for George W. Bush — he fesents to me a new generation Republican leaders, and 1 think p Confereuft’s what the country needs in fi I,” said Assemblyman Bill onard of Rancho Cucamonga. The petition was signed by 22 '32 Republicans in the state As- mbly and three of 15 Republican ators. They represent moder ns and conservatives alike in the gislature, and included all four spanic Republicans, fpieir petition was sent to Bush 12 dav of M 11 * igroom one day after he was sworn in for a second term. Bush has not an nounced whether he will run for president, but some national polls put him in front of all other com ers. The petition and the accompa nying rhetoric represent a double slap to California’s last Republican governor, Pete Wilson, who is con sidering a White House run him self. Some Republicans believe Wilson cost the party dearly by fostering racial divisiveness with his stands against aid to illegal im migrants and against affirmative action. “I’m sure Governor Bush very much appreciates their words of support,” said Karen Hughes, Bush’s director of communica tions. “He hopes they will understand that he has not made a decision at this point, but he is thinking very seriously and intends to make an informed decision. He appreciates their input and their encourage ment,” she said. The petition was accompanied by a note under the “California Legislature” letterhead. “With the California presiden tial primary of March 2000 fast ap proaching, it is important that a credible candidate for president es tablish a California presence,” the letter read. “We know that you are the Re publican presidential candidate for Texas, and we share a strong opin ion that your qualities will serve well as the Republican presidential candidate for California.” California has advanced its pri mary to March 7, 2000, an early date that could give the state more clout in the nomination process than ever before. “George W. Bush has a record of accomplishment as governor of Texas on important issues like cut ting taxes, ending social promotion and teaching every child to read, welfare reform, juvenile justice re form and encouraging free trade,” said Senate Republican Whip Ray Haynes of Riverside. Leonard added that California is attempting to pattern its emerging school standards after those in Texas. Bush has “shown unmatched political leadership in his ability to reach out and bridge the gap be tween traditional and non-tradi- tional Republican constituencies, like Latinos — a growing and in creasingly important population in California,” added Assemblyman Abel Maldonado, R-Santa Maria. The Texas governor is the only GOP presidential candidate, an nounced or otherwise, who has made a courtesy call to new As sembly Republican leader Rod Pacheco, who is Hispanic and who signed the petition. In the letter, the lawmakers pre dicted Bush “will reach out to all.” “I like Pete Wilson. I worked with him for years,” Leonard said in a telephone interview just after the petition was faxed to Bush. “Every thought which enters our mind, every word we utter, every deed we perform makes its impression on the innermost fiber of our being.” -Dr. Dennis Kimbro Author Lecturer Open to the Public January 22,1999 7:00 RM.
