Senate recognizes Career Center, emergency care I The Texas A&M Student Sen- jkate approved two resolutions demonstrating the support and appreciation of the A&M student body Wednesday. The first resolu tion recognizes the work of the Ca reer Center in providing students with help writing resumes and finding internships, cooperative News in Brief education experiences and jobs following graduation. The second resolution acknowl edges the work of the volunteer University Emergency Medical Ser vice and also resolves to recognize the week of Nov. 12 to 18, 2000, as National Collegiate Emergency Medical Services Week. In other business, the Student Senate approved a bill in emer gency legislation that requires that non-Senate members of a commit tee within the Student Senate be approved by a majority vote of the Student Senate before they can vote on the committee they are ap pointed to. Currently, any Texas A&M student can become a voting member of any Student Senate committee after attending two com mittee meetings. This bill amends the bylaws of the Student Senate, requiring any one wishing to obtain a voting priv ilege within a committee to appear before the Student Senate and re ceive a majority vote of approval. Diversity Continued from Page 1A By 2030, the population of Texas is projected to be more than 50 per cent minority, and the minority at tendance in public colleges and uni versities is expected to be 57 percent. “The future of Texas is tied to the future of its minority population,” said Dr. Steve Murdock, director of the Texas State Data Center. “How well they do is how well the state will do.” A component of A&M’s Vision 2020 plan considers the future of A&M's role of educating students who will graduate, work and live in a diverse society and compete in a global environment. The conference will be divided into four different tracks: student, faculty, staff and department. “Unlike? past conferences, this one will be important because not just problems will be discussed, but plans for solving these problems can be made,” said Larry Olive, a confer ence participant and assistant dean of liberal arts. “Through panel discus sions and workshops, the tracks will be able to come out of the conference with concrete ideas and an action plan for how to diversify the campus.” The THEDC will begin each morning at 9 with a keynote speak er in Rudder 601. Today, A&M President Dr. Ray M. Bowen will speak, and Friday, John Stevens Jr., ►prosecutor of James Byrd’s Jasper murder trial, will speak. “It is really critical that students and faculty that are seriously com mitted to diversifying the A&M Thursday, November Lrsday, N« Memorabilia Continued front Pa. “Sometimes you just have^ most pretend it is not actually you’re doing, it’s just some Gillman said. “It’s easierv are other people in [the I mind doesn’t wander as muck' Grider calls the project an ended system” that will allo\ tional data to be taken as new it realized.
