We also inform him about activities on campus.” Houser said Chancellor Howard Graves had contacted the CSAB to discuss several issues this year, including facili ties on campus, research schol ars and the selection of a new University president. The CSAB goes to Austin every other year when the leg islature is in session and during the off-year they travel to Washington D.C. to meet with state representatives concern ing A&M issues. “This year the chancellor has charged us with an issue to research, which we will, in turn, take to Washington D.C. during our spring break trip,” said April Somers, a senior microbiology and political science major and research and assessment vice chair to CSAB. “Our issue this year is ‘How Texas and the A&M System can better utilize federal research dollars.’” Each member is supposed to meet with the campus represen tative who handles federal research to get a better idea on more specific areas. “Basically, this is a way to give students the opportunity to express their concerns to Schuyler (Houser) or myself and then we can address those concerns to the system as a whole” Somers said. “Being a part of this system allows us as a University to have a stronger voice. We can approach another school and say, ‘hey, we have this problem, do you want to join this effort.’ When we go to the legislature, it makes our voice that much louder.” She added that students can go through student government or through the CSAB represen tatives to discuss issues they would like to be presented to the chancellor.
