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

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.

“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.

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

— 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.”

Mike Fuentes of The Battalion and
Amber Benson and Jessica Cald
