Students can vote on the fee increase on Feb. 26-27 at several locations, including the Memorial Student Center, Blocker, West Campus Library, Evans Library, the Rec Center and online, Capps said. Ashley Smallwood, a senior anthropology major, said the increase could provide benefits for students. “If (the Rec) is going to actually expand and improve the facilities, then I’m not entirely against the increase,” she said. Some students say they are wary of the increase. “I would not mind paying money that went direct ly and completely to improve the facility, but I’m not in favor of covering inflation when the Rec gets so much money already from people who don’t get ben efits from the Rec,” said Barbra Denniston, a sopho more marketing major. “The Rec should use their money to cover inflation.” The Senate also discussed the possibility of a second fee increase, proposed by Dr. Pierce Cantrell, associate provost for information technology. One proposal is to increase student fees by $3.25 per semester credit hour, which would allow for a complete replacement of the Student Information Management System, he said. The transformation would take four years to com plete, he said, and during that period the fee increase would add $8.8 million to the University’s coffers. The second option is to raise student fees $1.25 per semester credit hour, which will allow for several bene fits, including expansion of the NEO e-mail account service, an increase in printing paper allocations from 150 to 300 sheets and wireless networks implemented in various campus locations, Cantrell said. Debate Continued from page 1 idea that the United States should not risk losing lives for oil. Young Conservatives member Mark McCiag said Saddam Hussein has lied to Americans when he says oil is not the issue. “Hussein has violated numerous U.N. mandates, “ McCiag,a sophomore finance major said. “We’ve given peace a chance, now it’s time to take action.” Another key idea debated was the use of tax dollars to fund a war that a percentage of the tax-paying population does not sup port. Silas Barta, a mechanical engineering graduate student, said the U.S. government is not justified in using tax dollars to goto war with Iraq. This use of national funds is significant to Garland who would support a voluntan war effort by individuals using their own money and offering their own lives without government mandates. “To enlist someone against their will to go to war is enslaving them,” Garland said. In a world where the United Nations appoints Iraq as the chair of the disarma ment committee and Libya the chair of the human rights committee, Veksler said the United States must defend itself. Those who oppose involvement in Iraq still disagree. “For us to go to war to change the world to be like us is suicidal,” Garland said. “You cannot conquer the world.” Mays M.B.A program ranks in top 5 percent The M.B.A.Program at Texas A&M's Lowry Mays Business School has been ranked among the top 5 percent of M.B.A. pro grams in the world. According to a survey by the London Financial Times, the Mays School came in at number 69, up 13 spots from last year's survey. Jerry Strawser, dean of the Mays Business School, said the survey put the Mays program into the top 20 public business schools in the country. This was the fifth year the London Financial Times com- NEWS IN BRIEF piled the rankings, which are done on two separate surveys. One lists the institutions offering graduate business degrees and the second interviews people who graduated three years ago to determine the average career progression since graduation.
