ON-CAMPUS SOUTHSIDE Andy Havel No information submitted to The Battalion John Morris No information submitted to The Battalion Jason Huebinger Howdy, my name is Jason Huebinger and I am running for the office of southside senator. There are several reasons why I believe I am qualified to serve you as senator. I am currently in the Judicial Court, a branch of student government that ana lyzes the constitutions of other branches. Thus, I know the Senate constitution very well. I also serve as liaison to Senate, so I know the procedures of the Senate meetings. Beyond all that, I have an undying love for this University and want to give something back to it. I would ' greatly appreciate your support. Thanks and gig ’em. Brooks Landgraf Having served Texas A&M as a member of the Student Senate for the past two years, I feel that I have the knowledge and experi ence to continue addressing the legislative issues of the student body, In Student Senate’s current session, I serve as the chairman of the Rules and Regulations Committee. Working with other members of the Students Senate, I have created on-campus student fomms, modified student govern ment policies so that we can bet ter serve our fellow Aggies and reformed SGA constituency rela tions. As a Southside senator, I will continue to make positive'dif- ferences in the Aggie community. ON-CAMPUS NORTHSIDE Justin Moore No information submitted to The Battalion Brandon Proctor No information submitted to The Battalion Arouna “Boo Boo” Davies Jr. On April 4, 2001,1 was honored from this University with an election that would have the greatest impact on my future for a lifetime. That day, I was blessed with the opportunity to unify our campus as a yell leader. With the knowledge I have now obtained, I plan on implementing it to mold a stronger, yet finer, Student Senate. I hope to take on this challenge with other senators to cherish, uphold and, most of all, keep the spirit of Aggieland. I love Texas A&M with all my heart, and, once again, I will try to prove it with my sweat.

The Senate has come under fire recently for not being representative of the A&M stu dent population. I have always believed that you should not crit icize something unless you are willing to step in and make a dif ference. It is for this reason that I am running for the position of off-campus student senator. I want to bring a professional approach to representation and restore the Senate’s respect among students, and I look for ward to building bridges with the new administration. Alissa Hollimon This year, I have helped the Student Senate pass many bills that have benefited the student body. For example, there are more change machines on Northside, and student forums are held where students can voice their opinion. Next year I would help Student Senate keep a close and strong relationship with the student body. I believe that the most important job of a student senator is to represent their constituents in a positive way and make their voices heard, and I promise to do that. Dustin Lee Texas A&M University is a very dynamic university that is in a state of change. We have a new president about to grace us with his presence and who is not going to have been an Aggie; also we have the issues of Bonfire. These are critical times for past, present and future Aggies. We need strong leaders in the Student Senate who will represent the collective voice of the University and who are determined enough to get the job done, no matter what the cost. That is why I want to be your off-campus student senator, Dustin Lee. Gifts Continued from page 6 the courtyard between the Memorial Student Center hotel and the Forsyth Galleries. The bricks need to be replaced, new water spouts added and general main tenance done in the area. The time capsule would commemorate Texas A&M’s 125th anniversary and be opened in 2126. when A&M celebrates its 250th anniversary. As seniors, we will have the opportunity to share our four years at Texas A&M with many future generations. C. Diversity Celebration Plaza: The Class of 2002 has the opportunity to make a statement about the importance of diversity to Texas A&M by donating funds for the construction and maintenance of the Diversity Celebration Plaza. The plaza, which will be located beside Cushing Library, will serve to commemorate the diversity of students at Texas A&M while recognizing A&M’s ever-changing student population. Should the Class of 2002 decide to make such a significant impact on future classes, a recognition plaque will be perma nently displayed at the entrance of the plaza. D. Student Leadership Retreat Center: a donation from the Class of 2002 would partially fund the construction of a new retreat center close to campus. The cen ter will contain various facilities including outdoor pavilions, meeting rooms, overnight retreat accommodations and campfire sights. The Class of 2002 Assembly Hall would be one of the first buildings erected on the site as phase one of the three phase project. This building will be open to all student organizations for retreats and meetings at a minimal cost. The Class of 2002 will be recognized with a plaque displayed at the entrance. Endowments: A. Aggie Spirit: The Aggie Spirit is a fund maintained by the vice president of stu dent affairs to assist any current Aggie seek ing financial assistance. An Aggie who needs money to fly home for a sibling's funeral or to help pay for an out-of-state internship are a few examples. It’s purpose is to help Aggies get to where they need to be. both in the immediate future and in life. B. Bonfire Memorial: The Bonfire Memorial soon will be built to remember the 12 Aggies killed and 29 injured in the 1999 Aggie Bonfire collapse. This memorial will be located on the Polo Fields and serve as a remembrance of this tragedy and the Aggie Spirit that unites us all. Money from this endowment would be contributed to the future Bonfire Memorial. C. Fish Camp: Fish Camp is a four-day orientation program to acclimate freshmen into college life, as well as the Aggie way of life. Established in 1954, Fish Camp has grown to accommodate more than 4,500 freshman per year. This endowment would allow future Aggies the chance to experience Fish Camp. D. Muster: Since the beginning, every Aggie has lived and become a part of the Aggie spirit. Muster is how that spirit is remembered, and it will continue to unite Texas A&M and the Aggie Family for future generations. It is our desire as Aggies for Muster to become financially self-sufficient, allowing us to maintain and enhance the dis tinctiveness of this timeless tradition. E. Silver Taps: Silver Taps is one of the final tributes paid to an Aggie when he or she passes away as a student of Texas A&M. It is a tradition that sets us apart from every other university, and it brings us together as an Aggie family. Money from this endowment will help provide lodging and food for the families of Aggies honored at Silver Taps. &M Election 2002
