funds from student’s scholar
ships generated by licensing
revenue to the Athletic Depart
ment.
“As an Aggie and as a former
A&M licensee of 10 years, I do
not agree with the President’s
decision because it is not Ath
letics, but overall school loyalty,
which fuels the sales of licensed
A&M merchandise,” Brenck-
man said. “Regardless of
whether the football team wins
or loses. Aggies will buy A&M
merchandise.”
Groff said they are seeking
bids for someone to manage the
licensing program.
Floyd said even though funds
are sometimes transferred, it
does not mean other student ac
tivities are receiving less fund
ing.
“Many times, it is due to the
fact that student activities are
receiving funds from other
sources, such as the Coke ma
chines or AT&T," he said.
Brenckman claims Bowen
met with representatives from
Licensing Resource Group to
formalize a contract which out
sources almost all functions pre
viously performed by the Uni
versity’s licensing staff and
planned to redirect licensing
revenue to Athletics in Decem
ber of 1998 without consulting
the Texas A&M Board of Re
gents.
“It is up to the President’s
discretion as to how to allocate
funds,” Floyd said.
Brenckman said that accord
ing to an official at A&M Honors
Program, funding budgeted
from licensing for freshman and
sophomore scholarships award
ed to students in 1995 was re
scinded by Bowen when he
transferred nearly $1 million
dollars from licensing to Athlet
ics. Bowen was unavailable for
comment.

Northgate area including Shadow

Fitzwilly’s Bar and Grill.
Jaime Thomas, event coordina
tor, said she is expecting a larger
crowd than last year’s event at
tracted.
“Last year, at least 5,000 people
attended the music festival over the
two-day period," Thomas said.
“This year we have had pre-sale
passes available at reduced prices,
which we hope will increase over
all ticket sales.”
Thomas said the festival is bet
ter known this year due to in
creased publicity. She said coordi
nators increased advertising and
publicized more about the bands
performing.
Thomas said most of the bands
are different from those that have
performed in previous years. She
said last year’s most popular show
