A&M.
Lane said, "This is a good way to see student input. This
study is a very useful resource to have. The campus climate sur

wards making this campus more diverse."
The results of these surveys will be presented to the 2001
Texas Legislature, with the intent of "giving the legislature
information on how students feel about these issues, and
increasing tlae relationship between students and administra
