Lacy McHan § Kelli Petronis Page 2 • Wednesday, September 22, 1999 c AM PUS Animal foundation sele Counselor Continued from Page 1 Dobrovolsky received his bachelor’s degree in 1973 and master’s degree in 1974 from Troy State University. Part of his motivation to con tinue at A&M, Dobrovolsky said, was his involvement with orga nizations on campus, including serving as an adviser to the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets and pro viding performance enhance ment instruction to the women’s basketball team. “Texas A&M is a great place to be,” Dobrovolsky said. “It is a very unique and excit ing place. I can’t think of another place I would want to be. ” Birch said Dobrovolsky’s com mitment to A&M extended be yond SCS, through his work with organizations. “As an academic adviser to the Corps of Cadets, he worked hard with that outfit in the Corps of Cadets,” Birch said. “As the center’s liaison to the Campus Ministers’ Association, he got a lot of interface working with all denominations to help students. ’’ Board Continued from Page 1 Hurd said the trip will take place in March, and one of their main is sues will concern restructuring stu dent financial aid — specifically fo cusing on the federal mandates limiting the ability for a student to claim himself as either dependent or independent. Rob Ferguson, a CSAB delegate and a junior political science major, said the board is interested in lower ing the age at which students can claim themselves as independent. “We’re going to be taking a seri ous look at the status of financial aid and how it affects students through out the System,” Ferguson said. Ashli Simpson, vice-chair of ad ministration for CSAB and a junior finance major, said the chancellor is eager to hear input from and work with them on issues that pertain to the students specifically. “The Texas A&M University Sys tem is very fortunate to have a board like this that meets monthly to rep resent approximately 88,000 stu dents,” Simpson said. While in College Station, stu dent body presidents from each system campus will have the op portunity to make a presentation to the Board of Regents concerning their campuses. Shawna Haddock, chair of CSAB from Texas A&M at Texarkana, will be making a general presentation about the initiatives and goals of the entire System. Volunteers Continued from Page 1 “You can search by typing ‘youth,’ for example, if you’d like to help children, and it will give you descriptions of agencies and orga nizations where you can volun teer,” Salter said. Hogg encourages students to get out of the “bubble” of A&M and volunteer their time to the less fortunate. “We’re college students, and we have so much going for us; we need to give back to the communi ty,” Hogg said. “If you develop a sense of service, I think you’ll get so much more out of life.” Ag as Ballard Representati BY JEANETTE SIMPSON The Battalion Jeff Jones, a doctoral student at the Texas A&M School of Veteri nary Medicine, was selected by the Morris Animal Foundation (MAF) as the new Ballard Student Repre sentative, and for the next two years, Jones will be responsible for educating students and faculty about MAF and companion animal health. Jones said he is taking steps to begin teaching his peers about the studies MAF is doing by sending students copies of the MAF’s newsletter. He said he plans to in corporate bulletin boards, presen tations and he will also have a booth at the vet school’s open house this spring into his teaching methods. Companion animals include dogs, cats and birds and any ani mals not used for food. Jones hopes that in his two years as a representative, he can not only learn more about MAF humane health studies for com panion animals but also help raise awareness about MAF. “I am very pleased to be repre- Graphics Continued from Page 1 Sallie TUrner, editor in chief of The Battalion and a senior jour nalism major, said the awards re ceived by the graphic artists at A&M are impressive, particularly considering Ball State Universi ty’s noted graphics department. “I was not only surprised we won so many awards but that we swept so many categories in the competition against Ball State Uni versity,” she said, noting The Bat talion’s attempts to improve graph ic illustrations. “This semester, we have tried hard to make the papers more visually pleasing, starting with the [1999] football tab.” TUrner said the expertise of the graphics editor, Hynecek, and the photography editor, Rogers, has made it possible for The Battalion to produce improved visuals. “They have decided to excel in what they do, making sure the graphics correspond with the sto ries,” she said. J.P. Beato, an award recipient and a graduate student in architec ture, said The Battalion has made tremendous strides in visual illus trations, since he started in Spring 1999. “Visual arts can definitely make the paper more visually appeal ing,” Beato said. “With the new senting the Morris Animal Founda tion because it is the largest non governmental funding source for companion animal health studies,” Jones said. “[Ballard Students] can share... [animal health] techniques with the faculty and students/ 9 — Carissa Lester Morris Animal Foundation “Because vet students and the College of Veterinary Medicine, specifically, are primarily interest ed in animal health, I view my role as a facilitator in raising awareness of the Morris Animal Foundation's important contributions to com panion animal health." Jones was selected as a Ballard Student Representative because through his application, interview and references he showed to be programs, it is becoming easier to do visual arts.” Other A&M award recipients, Mike Fuentes of The Battalion and Amber Benson and Jessica Cald well of The Aggieland have since graduated.
