"It is an live position and an attraci University with a good program.” Agg CEO Continued from page 1A Kovacevich said there are a few guidelines to fol low before investing in a company. It is a good idea to ensure that a company’s employees believe in its vision, mission and values and consistently apply them in their daily decision making, he said. Kovacevich said observing how people within a company make decisions can give insight into the true ethics of a company. One should find out if the employees believe in the corporation enough to own stock in it. He said the most impor tant quality of a company is its dedication to satisfy its customers’ needs and wants. “The corporation must be committed to their employees and shareholders,” Kovacevich said. "It also must be committed to long term success for the community, which is best done through partner ships.” Integrity and innovation are derived from the root word entire, he said. They imply unbroken trust at all times in full entirety. He said this should be the ideal basis of all corporations. Kovacevich said integrity is the core of every person and corporation, and without it. no corpora tion can or should exist. After his speech, Kovacevich answered ques tions from the audience regarding ethics and moral dilemmas. Kovacevich’s speech was the third in the series of the Wells Faigo Program on Ethics presented by the George Bush Presidential Library. Roman Popadiuk, executive director for the George Bush Presidential Library Foundation, said they are looking for programs to make the founda tion attractive to students and community members. “Ethics is important in our society and espe cially in education," he said. “We thought it was appropriate to bring this program to Texas A&M to help explain how society deals with making ethical business choices. It is a very relevant issue at this point in our history.” Energy Vote Continued from page 1A Eight years in the minority, now facing two more. House Democrats looked ahead uncer tainly to leadership elections next week. With Gephardt expected to decide on his plans within a day or two, a race to replace him was already shaping up between a California liberal. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, and a Texas moderate, Martin Frost. “The country moved to the right yesterday and House Democrats won’t win a majority by moving further to the left,” said Tom Eisenhauer, spokesman for Frost. Pelosi ranks second on the current leadership ladder, one rung above Frost. * Gephardt, a likely contender for the presidency in 2004, Hew back to the capital from his Missouri congressional district to decide his next step. The 26- year congressional veteran is “going to spend a day with his wife and family and talk to friends and advisers and begin making a decision about his future,” said his spokesman, Erik Smith. New Jersey represented a political victory for Democrats, who prevailed in a court case to replace Sen. Robert Torricelli on the ballot even though the dead line had passed.
