April SGA Continued from Page 1 Since input is often requested from the stu dent body without prior information about the fee, and fees are introduced to students only as they come up, SFC will provide the students with a holistic review of all new fee requests. "Through avenues such as The Battalion and Student Senate, the SFC will provide the student body with information,” Brown said. The final role of the SFC will be to maintain a database of information concerning student fees. This database will provide student leaders with an understanding of the complex issues that are involved with requests for new and re vised fees. The committee will be made up of three stu dent body vice presidents, the Student Senate chairs of student services and academic affairs, the speaker of the Student Senate, a Graduate Student Council member and the Student Ser vice Fee Advisory Committee chair. After the collection of student input, the SFC will organize a final student statement of sup port or disapproval on all fees. This statement will be presented to administrators and the Board of Regents. Help me help you Leaders Continued from Page 1 without name recognition.” Cheering alongside the senior leaders will be the junior yell leaders Kevin Graham, a sopho more business major, and Sam Seidel, a sopho more animal science major. “Tve been an Aggie all my life. To serve the University as a yell leader would be the greatest opportunity of my life,” Seidel said. “1 was con fident that I would be elected in that I felt I worked the hardest and was qualified.” Graham said a yell leader’s foremost respon sibility is to represent the spirit of the University. "A yell leader is a tool of the University, not the other way around. He is chosen by the ma jority and he needs to represent that majority,” Graham said. "When I’m done being yell leader, people will say ‘I’m glad we chose him. He’s rep resenting us.’ ” Tuesday Aggie Lutherans Treehouse: Join us for a bible study, fun, and fellowship at 7 - 8:30 p.m. at Our Savior’s Luther an Church located near Northgate.
