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

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
