Kaplan...
...Yesterday I had the chance to put all of the things the Kaplan

I cannot tell you how happy I am. Finally I have overcome

Shorn Hostetler is looking for a few
good volunteers.
Hostetler, director of the Brazos Valley
Rape Crisis Center, is hoping to find stu
dents willing to fit volunteer work at the
Center into their schedules.
“Right now, we have 27 |volunteers)
but we would like to have 45 to 50," she
said. “We have a lot ofA&M students but
we tend to lose people at graduation.”
The Volunteer ()pportunity Fair, being
held in the Memorial Student Center 1 lag
Room Feb. 1 and 2., draws community
sen ice and students together.
The lair, sponsored die Volunteer Ser

groups, the task force gathered student input and
used the results to prioritize the needs of the A&M
community.
Miller said she found the amount of ignorance about
the transportation system startling.
One result of the student input indicated many stu
dents did not know that the on-campus buses were free.
The proposal contains several options for accom
plishing this, including color-coded maps of campus and
information kiosks throughout campus.
Students will have an opportunity to learn more
about the task force’s numerous proposals at an open
forum, slated for later this month.
Miller stresses the need for all members of the Aggie
community to be aware of upcoming changes and em
phasizes that it will take the cooperation of everyone to re
alize the task force's vision.
The group’s recommendations on topics ranging
from campus maps to bus routes will be considered by
Bowen and other University officials.
