Saving

Wendy Lee, had his two sons and launched his
political career in this city.
“Twenty-seven years ago, I drove to College
Station. Texas, in a used Mercury w ith a back seat
full of books to start what would be a 13-year
teaching career and lifelong love affair w ith Texas
A&M University,” Gramm said in February 1995
from the steps of the school’s Administration
Building when he formally announced his ill-fated
run for the U.S. presidency.
Saving said Gramm was well-liked by stu
dents, even though he* was tough. Saving
remembered one particular student who. even
though he kept failing it, took Gramm’s eco
nomics class three times.
“He was a very popular teacher and a very dif
ficult grader — a combination that's hard to get.
He has a charisma." Saving said.
Several A&M officials, including Bowen and
members of the search committee formed to find a
new president, would not comment Tuesday on
Gramm’s chances at getting the top job at the
University.
“We all know he loves Texas A&M but to con
sider him for the presidency would be very- pre
mature at this time.” said Board of Regents
Chairman Erie Nye. ”!t would be inappropriate
for me to suggest that I have one candidate that I
favor over another.”
Saving, director of A&M’s Private Enterprise
Research Center, said Gramm would be a great
president.
“He’s certainly well qualified,” Saving said.
“He's gone on to do great things outside the uni
versity and he understands the political environ
ment the University is in.”

two days of class were data
gathering days. The City of
College Station modified the
signal timing at both locations
last week.
These modifications have
made the pedestrian and
vehicular traffic move very
well through the intersection.”
Williams said PTTS will
continue traffic counts at the
intersections of George Bush
and Wellborn, Kimbrough/
Joe Routt and Wellborn and
Old Main and Wellborn.
Heger said the construction
will demand a link between
main and West Campus.
“One of the first orders of
business will be for them to
create a passageway to main
tain the link between west and
main campus,” Heger said.
“They will be securing the
site to keep pedestrians out of
the way of construction
immediately.”
