(^ _ Jl Brady Continued from Page 1 could not, and said Bush “sees affir mative action starting in class rooms.” Brady was recently appointed to the House Ways and Means Com mittee, which oversees the federal budget and government spending. When asked why his appointment should interest members of the Texas A&M community, Brady gave two reasons: loans and jobs. “A lot of kids are out there asking, ‘Can I afford the loan paybacks?’ ” Brady said the average student owes $ 12,000 and said he and other members of the committee would work to change methods of loan re payment. ‘‘We (the Ways and Means Com mittee) also deal with trade, research and other things that can help spur the economy,” Brady said. “This could help a student get a good job in the end.” Brady introduced the Sunset Bill, which would eliminate agen cies that have outlived their useful ness, decreasing spending at the federal level. The bill has already passed in Texas and has been a great success, Brady said. Brady mentioned former Presi dent Ronald Reagan's statement that nothing lasts forever except a gov ernment program. He said, “After four years (in Washington), I can see we need less government and more freedoms. We need Texas common sense in Washington.” When asked to address the com plaints from people in other parts of the country that Texans, and Aggies in particular, now run Washington, D.C., Brady laughed and said. “There is all truth to that rumor.” You go to school to learn You come home to: Relax Play Workout Study 2, 3 or 4 bedroom apartment homes Apartment Features: Individual lease by the bedroom Ethernet Service provided W/D in every unit Monitored intrusion alarms Basic cable provided Furnished units available Microwaves included Community Features: Sand volleyball court State of the art Multi-Media center ■ Game room ■ Fitness Center ■ On University Bus Route ’ Resort style pool w/jacuzzi STlvWJNC Collegiate Residences (979) 696-5711 (979) 696-5661 - Fax 1 1 7 HOLLEMAIN DRIVE WEST www.suhvillacje.com Parking Continued from Pa§ firm, Carter-Burgess, to study fut possibilities for the railroad.
