Former Continued from Page 1 the Individualists and the Futurists how the association is already pre sent on campus. “We haven’t done a good job of telling them where their money is going,” she said. “Letting them know that their money sent the Ag gie Band and the yell leaders to away games or that the association is a major supporter of Muster would certainly get more former students involved.” Glass said the association is also planning parties before Midnight Yell Practice, organizing direct mail pro grams and looking into a satellite of fice in the MSC to increase aware ness of the association among current students. Monica Harmon, Class of ’97 and an assistant lecturer in speech com munications, said she experienced the network of Aggies within a week of graduation when someone saw her ring and offered her a job. “After I explained to him that I didn’t need a job and was going to graduate school, he told me, ‘When you get your master’s degree, give me a call,”’ she said. “You always hear about Aggie ring stories, but 1 had no idea it would happen so fast.” TUESDAY Study Abroad Programs Office: An informational meeting to pro mote the Italy 2000 Program will oe held from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. in 154 and 161 Bizzell Hall West.
