Brashares Continued from Page 1A and voted on whether to recom mend her as president, said Kate Petree, MSC Council executive vice president of human resources and a senior meteorology major. Brashares was the only applicant for the position. “It is in the MSC Council contract that we vote for the new president, even though she was serving as interim,” Petree said. Petree said the council chose Brashares because of her leadership abilities. “She can provide a better focus now that she is named president, and we feel she will be able to accomplish many goals,” Petree said. Brashares said she is looking forward to serving in the role and believes she can work with the council on all the issues. “I know the issues since I have been here for the past three years,” Brashares said. “I will be looking to my peers for advice and guidance, but I feel comfortable after serving as interim.” Halls Continued from Page 1A more time to prepare incoming residents for such a drastic policy change, Sasse said. Currently, only coed halls have 24-hour vis itation. Single-sex halls are allowed visitors from 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. Sasse said the department may run a pilot program to test round-the-clock visita tion in single-sex halls. Not all residence halls would have to become 24-hour halls, he said. “Each hall is going to have to look at their own sit uation,” Sasse said. Staff Council Chairman Matt Fuller, a Hart Hall resi dent adviser and senior biol ogy major, said that he was unsure whether all single-sex halls would adopt the policy. “There has not been any thing proposed on a campus level and I really don’t know if there will be,” Fuller said. Continued RHA action will bring increased involvement from Residence Life and Staff Council, Fuller said. ig charge ag® dismissed Monu ;; rch withouiaw; red a state i than a gramofi er he and a won® officers said the; that the drags w bounty prosecuW earched the at (OGRAMS Continuedfiom Page 1A ite, the state was state intended to und in plain vie* partmenC’accoi nths to two years 7840 •; IDWICH, ived a copy of the survey results, he immedi- y formed a working group to evaluate “the way ’redoing business.” We take that survey seriously,” Sherman said, fe intend to find out what truth there is in the iew and fix what we can fix.” aul R. Rindfleisch, a Ph.D. student in the igraphy department, did not respond to the sur- , but has discussed its results with his depart- |nt colleagues. T think the results of the survey represent in ;e part the opinion of just a few people who fre really dissatisfied with their experience in the artment. I do believe that some of the concerns Ised are legitimate, though,” Rindfleisch said. JOne of nine categories used to grade the pro- Jtams is career guidance and placement servic es Students complained that the program only pares them for academic careers, while many tats plan non-academic careers. Most graduate departments around the mtry prepare their students for academic ireers. When their former students go to big ;earch schools and become famous, that’s avthey receive recognition. I don’t think it’s iything peculiar about our department,” indfleisch said. TheA&M political science department had 28 irticipants and received a “B,” which is higher an average. Political science department head [.Patricia A. Hurley believes that the program ay owe its good marks to mentorship. “We do a lot to mentor our students. They vtgood relationships with our faculty. Most of our students who have gone on to the profession al world remember their time in our department fondly,” Hurley said. The A&M biology department had the most participants with 29 responding to the survey. The department received a grade of “C+,” lower than average. Dr. Mark Zoran, graduate advisor for the biol ogy department, said the survey favored current students over graduates of the program. “Twenty-five of the 29 responses were current students, so we really haven’t heard from our stu dents that have graduated and are already in the world working,” Zoran said. Zoran also believes that there should have been more questions asked about course work. “However, the survey does tell us where stu dents would like to see improvement. Now we can go ask them more specifically,” Zoran said. NAGPS President Kimberly Suedkamp Wells, one of the survey’s authors and a doctoral student at the University of Missouri-Columbia, believes the survey is breaking new ground. “We’ve given graduate students the opportu nity to be involved in their education. We hope now that department heads and other administra tors will use the survey to start a dialogue with students about problems,” Wells said. “Because of our survey, many students now feel like they’ve been heard.” More than 32,000 participants nationwide responded to the online study. The participants included 27,258 current Ph.D. students, 4,147 Ph.D. recipients (from 1995 or later) and 628 for mer Ph.D. students who did not receive Ph.D.s (since 1995).
