very critical for us to make sure we
provide good service and good
food.”
The departments have an operat
ing budget that is more than $180
million, but about half the resources
come from local funding.
‘'My job is to make sure proper
service is provided in the most eco
nomical way,” Sippial said.
Making sure his departments have
the resources they need to do their
jobs is not the only objective Sippial
has in his new position.
“I want us to be viewed as the most
efficient and hardest working division
within the University,” he said.
Sippial is a retired Air Force
colonel who served for 21 years and
worked at the Pentagon for 18
months as chief of the engineering
and design section. Before coming to
A&M as assistant vice president for
the Physical Plant, he was the direc
tor for the physical plant at San Diego
University.
‘‘1 am more driven by myself than
anyone else can ever drive me,” Sip
pial said. “I put more pressure on my
self because I want to be the best vice
president of administration that this
University has ever had. So I push
myself to not only do the job, but to
learn this job and other folks’ job as
it impacts mine. That’s the kind of
person I am.”
Sippial said service and respect
are important for success. Working

Moving the tracks is not the only
option. Parks said. The MPO is tak
ing other solutions into account.
“We may have two tracks running
side by side,” he said.
If two tracks are next to each oth
er, two trains can run at the same
time, decreasing the length of time it
would take if two trains ran one after
the other, he said.
Some students think the reloca
tion of the tracks will be a short in
convenience that will be worth it in
the end.
“The construction to move the
tracks will create a lot of traffic in the
Wellborn [Road] area, but train traf
fic is only going to increase, so things
ing almost 23 years of his life in a
military atmosphere, has been re
warding for him, he said.
“Young people are fun to be
around,” he said. “They keep you
young, and our caliber of students
here at Texas A&M is high quality.
One of the things we like to talk
about in the military is degree of in
tegrity. You don’t quiver around the
truth. You are honest. I see a lot of
that starting with Ray Bowen and the
other vice presidents.”
Bowen said he believes Sippial will
bring good leadership to the position.
“He will be a great support of the
students and faculty,” Bowen said.
Sippial has a good working rela
tionship with Bowen and other ad
ministrators, a quality he said will
be useful.
“I am proud that [Bowen] had
enough faith in me to give me the op
portunity to do this job,” Sippial said.
“I have watched him through the
whole Bonfire situation, and I have
never had more respect for an indi
vidual as 1 do for Ray Bowen. He is
one of total integrity.”
Sippial realizes his job is tough,
but plans to be successful.
“If you work hard, not every
thing you want is going to happen
to you, but there are a lot of good
things that are going to happen to
you,” he said. “One of my best ac
complishments in life was making
full colonel two years ahead of my
contemporaries. 1 set that as a goal.
Good things will happen if you give
it your best effort.”
will be less congested when the con
struction is over,” said Leslie Richer,
a senior economics major.
Other students who frequent West
Campus are not thrilled about the
construction, but realize it is out of
their hands'.
“It will definitely be a pain to
get to class, but as long as they plan
this right, with reroutes and de
tours, the traffic won’t be too bad,”
said Trissa Campbell, a senior so
ciology major.
The MPO is planning for the next
50 years rather than the near future,
so the town will not be undergoing
railroad construction continuously,
Parks said. The MPO hopes to de
velop rail operations plans by this
winter, do an environmental analysis
by spring, and make a recommenda
tion by summer 2001.
TMC
Continued from Page 1A
“Aggie Bonfire ... is not about di
vision, arrogance and revolt,” the let
ter stated. “We feel confident that the
administration will work with us and
that although our version of Bonfire
is gone forever, the spirit that sur
rounds it will remain.”
Rigamonti said he believes that,
of the thousands of supporters KTFB
boasts, many are not in favor of the
off-campus bonfire. He said that
when many people signed the peti
tion, they were supporting the ulti
mate continuation of Aggie Bonfire,
not an off-campus bonfire to be held
this year.
“There were people who signed
up for that, not understanding that
that was where [KTFB] was going
with it,” Rigamonti said.
Rigamonti said TMC has not
stepped forward until now because
the group believed that the issues sur
rounding Bonfire would work them
selves out.
“It is not so much that we have
been keeping quiet,” said Bill
Davis, vice president of TMC and a
junior accounting major. “We
haven’t felt that we needed to say
anything until now.”
Teachers’ union helps
moderate Repubhcans
WASHINGTON (AP) — The National Education Association, which
heavily favors Democrats with its political donations, quietly has been pay
ing $4,000 a month to a tax-exempt group run by moderate Republicans to
help the teachers’ union reach out to the GOP, tax records show.
The union has been paying the Republican Mainstream Commit
tee for several years so executive director Ken Ruberg can advise the
NEA on establishing relationships with sympathetic GOP officials.
Because the committee is tax-exempt, it did not have to disclose the
money until Congress this summer passed a new law requiring such groups
that engage in politics to report their donors and expenses just like cam
paign committees.
So far this year, NEA has given $29,450 to the group formed by mod
erate Republicans such as Rep. Jim Leach of Iowa, according to the new
filing with the IRS.
