Voters approve Proposition 17
b the future and will be given looser rein in manag-
pg its apsets.
Texas voters rejected just four of the 17 propositions
n the ballot. Among those approved were Propositions
3 and 17, which both affect A&M.
Proposition 13 is intended to strengthen the invest-
nent strategy of the state’s $7 billion PUF, which is
unded by state-owned land and mineral resources. It is
lesigned to provide perpetual funding for both the Uni-
ersity of Texas and the Texas A&M University systems. -
The ratification of Proposition 13 will permit the
exas Higher Education Coordinating Board to revive
he now-stagnant fund with more than $400 million in
>onds for college-student loans.

The proposition will provide loans for approxi
mately 16,000 students in each of the next five years.
Students from both public and private post-secondary
educational institutions in Texas will be eligible to ap
ply for the loans.
Proposition 17 will give more freedom to the boards
of regents for both the A&M and Texas systems and
will allow them direct decision-making power.
Both propositions received significant support from
leaders and organizations in the past few weeks. Stu
dent leaders rallied together Monday to raise support
among Aggies for Proposition 17.
Texas Lt. Gov. Rick Perry commended the bond
program in The Dallas Morning News and said it
would make it easier for Texas students to attain col
lege educations.
“This program will make Texas a better place, because
it is going to make a college education more accessible
and more affordable for thousands of students,” he said.
[A&M chapter of chemical society
receives ‘outstanding chapter 5 title
BY KENNETH MACDONALD
The Battalion
The Texas A&M student chapter
)f the American Chemical Society
^ACS) has been named an “Out
standing Chapter” for the second
zonsecutive year.
The society, one of 28 to receive
his honor, competed against more
:han 900 chapters from across the
United States. Winners are based
an annual reports sent to the na
tional office indicating the society’s
activities in the past year.
Dr. John Hogg, chapter faculty
adviser, said the organization
works hard during the year on a
variety of activities.
“We have traditional guest ca
reer speakers,” he said. “We bring
in people working in the chemical
industry. One of the most popular
was a crime-lab speaker because
many of our members are interest
ed in forensics.”
The society has hosted Nobel
Prize winners, representatives from
Anderson Consulting and Mary
Kay Cosmetics to come speak at
meetings.
“We want to show people that
they aren’t locked into one job,”
he said.
Members also help in the A&M
Chemistry Road Show, which takes
college chemistry labs into local
classrooms.
“We don’t want kids to get the
idea that chemists are only 50-year-
old, white-haired men,” Hogg
said. “We bring people of all
shapes and sizes.”
Brandi Nunez, Texas A&M ACS
historian and a senior chemistry
major, said the society also spon
sors Chemistry Week beginning
Nov. 7, which concludes Saturday
with a chemistry open house.
“The open house will give an
opportunity for junior-high and
high-school students to tour the
labs here, to see chemistry in ac
tion,” she said.
During Chemistry Week the ACS
will be giving out soft drinks and
candy while explaining the science
behind the products in front of the
Chemistry Building.
Darren Poppe, last year’s pres
ident and a junior chemical engi
neering major, said the society

has given a lot of time to commu
nity service.
“We helped out in a soup
kitchen in Bryan, held a food drive
and spent time helping at the Mili-
can Retirement home, also in
Bryan,” he said.
The professional organization
has a membership of approxi
mately 100. Mostly members are
undergraduate chemistry majors
but a variety of majors, including
chemical engineering and biolo
gy, are also represented.
