discriminating against them is not
OK,” said Amy Hinze, a proponent
of the addendum and a senior sociol
ogy major. “It sends a clear message
that gay students are an equal part of
the Aggie community.”
Jordan Davis, president of the
GLBTA and a junior English major,
described the policy as “word-
smithing,” but said he was glad all
parties concerned were able to come
together for resolution.
“I do realize the importance of this
as a statement from the University,”
Davis said. “That alone — that the
University is moving in a positive di
rection — is a very important step.”
Marcus Wilkerson, another sup
porter of the cause and a sophomore
general studies major, also spoke in
favor of Bowen’s decision.
“I am very excited,” he said. “I
personally feel that it was Dr.
Bowen’s intention to do the right
thing, and I believe that he has done
that. I think this is another step in the
University’s goal to becoming one of
the top 10 in the world."
Texas State Legislature moving the
cap on the fee from its current position
of $40 to $100,” Busche said. “Final
ly, if approved, the referendum would
also show student support for the cre
ation of legislation w hich would grant
the student fee advisory committee the
power to raise the fee if the increase is
less than 10 percent of the current fee
without student referendum."
A Student Center Complex Fee
increase greater than 10 percent
would require a student referendum,
before the Board of Regents would
consider the increase.
“If the $10 increase is approved
by the referendum and the Board of
Regents, it would take effect for the
Fall 2001 semester,” said Dr. William
Kibler, associate vice-president for
Student Affairs.
Student Services Chair Lorenzo
Gonzalez, a junior environmental de
sign major, proposed a resolution
1 during the meeting that asked that
student leaders take more time before
putting this referendum into the Fall
2000 elections.
“Our resolution simply
student leaders enter into ne
tions to discuss the $60 incre;
the cap.” Gonzalez said. “Due t
lack of confident inforrfia
this topic, we dc

The utilities department keeps track of their systems
daily and has had no majbr financial investments for a
great length of time. The process is a timely task, en
tailing administrative functions, creation by the facili
ties department, construction documentation, bidding,
contraction and inspection.
The original plans, projected to the Board of Regents
in May 1998, proposed a 12-plank list of projects with
estimated cost of $56 million. Not all were approved
immediately, but the 12 projects will all be introduced
in increments. The Domestic Water System Improve
ment plan was approved Dec. 15, 1999.
“It is a large sum of money and includes several
major investments, but all these projects are vital
the University,” Hagge said. “Everyone will beo;
at the end.”
Seven of the projects, projected to cost $341
are well underway, with the others expected to be
within the next three years.
“It’s one thing to conceive a plan and anotherii
to execute it,” Hagge said.
The layout of the new pipe construction has at
a 30-inch diameter pipe along Wellborn Road ft
Agronomy Road until the railroad.
Another section has been installed by Biz.
Street to the College Avenue extension near theS
terns Building. More pipes have been laid near
Penberthy driving range and along George
Drive.
