Coventry said living a respectable life should
encompass all aspects, and that when you drop off a
date at the end of the night, her father should be proud
of the way she was treated.
Equally important to setting a positive example is
making sure that image is communicated to the stu
dent body by getting to know the students and being
involved in their lives, Coventry said.
“Let them see how you live your life and be gen
uine with them,” he said. “1 think that’s how you fos
ter leadership by example; it’s the personal touch.”
Leaders of the University must have a vision of
where they are going, said candidate Lara Pringle,
referring to a quote that states, “The very essence of
leadership is vision.”
She also believes it is the responsibility of the stu
dent body president to represent the students through
actions and be held accountable for those actions.
“I would want to make sure that the person repre
senting my views is trustworthy, honest and
respectable,” Pringle said. “If those are in place, 1
have trust that they will do an excellent job of repre
senting those views.”
Pringle feels it is important to maintain an untar
nished reputation as a student leader to keep students
from losing faith in the leadership.
Holding herself to high Christian standards in her
personal life enables Pringle to exude the positive
example she feels necessary for any student leader.
She said people individually decide what are their
values and morals and then should hold themselves to
that standard.
ordering a president to do somethin;;
would make him or her more likely to do
it simply for the sake of getting it done
and the amendment could obstruct fc
plans of future senators.
“You’re still going to be bound tothn
forum,” she said.
In response, the supporters of tie
amendment reminded senators that tin
laws set forth by the senate remain pliable
“These pules are not set in stone,"sail
senator and freshman business administri
tion major Logan Renfrew.
Opponents of the amendment saidtk
student body president should be trusted
communicate with the students andnotet
that there are procedures for removings
uncommunicative president. Additional!;
challengers suggested that the senas
should not infringe on the authority ti
other student government branches.
“We are dictating the schedule oft!i
(president]. We should respect ea;:
other’s spheres of influence,” said senam
and sophomore political science mai
Derek Mercer.

ment was in no way a reflection

political science major, told the
board she supports the fee.
“Current students need to
realize we may have to pay
more, but in the end it will
increase the value of our
degrees,” Sommers said.
Brady Creel, a junior journal
ism and management major and a
representative of the A&M chap
ter of the Young Conservatives of
Texas, told the board that more
emphasis should have been
placed upon reducing spending
and expenses before inciting such
a “massive” fee and allocating
money for new programs, such as
the top 20 percent plan.
“We need to stop proposing
programs for which we cannot
pay while we are in a budget cri
sis,” he said. “Our fight is not
over today. The YCT is prepared
to challenge this in legislature
and in courts if it is necessary.”
Committee members also dis
cussed legal council’s report on
the fee’s apparent legality, and
considered reported opinions of
Sen. Steve Ogden and state Rep.
Fred Brown, who have publicly
acknowledged the fee’s necessity.
University of Texas students
recently raised opposition to a
similar fee proposal.
Administrators and students
came to a compromise last
month when a reduced fee than
that initially proposed was
approved. Although UT’s fee is
comparable in amount, it is des
ignated for different use and will
charge both current and future
students beginning next fall. The
fee is currently undergoing legal
scrutiny in its use for campus
buildings.
Last fall, the Student Senate
surveyed 900 students about the
fee, and found that 66 pen?
said they had not heard atx>uiEt
fee. Long said the senate tookj
further measures to educate::
student body about the matter.
“It is hard to get them toes:
about something that does nt
affect them,” he said.
Board Chancellor Earl Ny
said he was pleased with tk
student input.
“The board would alwat
welcome more contact withstii
dents because, after all, it is
the students that all thiseffotn
going to be put forward,” he a:
