Event
Continued from page 1
Texas A&M President Robert M. Gates offered
the crowd encouraging words before volunteers
dispersed to begin their assigned service projects.
“Service is fundamental to our existence,”
Gates said. “Big Event gives students a chance to
have a direct and immediate positive impact on
people, making their lives better tomorrow than
they were yesterday because someone cared.”
Nearly 700 jobs were completed by the variety
of campus organizations and groups for residents
of the Bryan-College Station area.
The Big Event Committee began preparing
Saturday’s work schedule in late September
with weekly meetings that became bi-weekly
after Spring Break.
“Every job site has a file folder, and it is an
extensive process to get all the masses of students
wanting to get involved matched up with jobs,”
said Michelle Bertino, director of students
involvement for the Big Event committee.
The service projects strengthen the bonds
between students and the residents of the Bryan-
College Station community, Bertino said.
“Two worlds come together for a good cause,
and a sense of real unity is felt by all on this day
that will hopefully continue throughout the year,”
she said.
Shiites
Continued from page 1
headed by the exiled Ayatollah
Mohammed Baqir al-Hakim,
who has said the U.S.-led coali
tion forces were welcome in Iraq
as long as they didn't impose a
government on the country.
Another Supreme Council
spokesman on Saturday also
denied Rumsfeld’s assertion
that the Badr Corps is “trained,
equipped and directed by Iran’s
Islamic Revolutionary Guard.”
Mohsen Hakim, a Supreme
Council official in northern
Iraq, said his group has been
trying to oust Saddam for two
decades, while the U.S. effort is
relatively recent.
“We, as representatives of the
Iraqi nation, do not need the U.S.
permission or coordination for
dismissing the oppressor regime
of Baghdad. This is a right that
has been officially recognized at
the international level,” said
Hakim, according to IRNA.
NEWS
THE BATTALION
Campaign
Continued from page:
than in 1994 and that increasin;
the number of professors
lead to smaller classes and more
student access to professors,
Other goals of the campaign
such as increasing the
of scholarships and better all-
letic programs, will also benefit
the average student.
“Excellence in athletics will
definitely enhance the lifi
the students,” Gates said.
Thus far, the campaign
raised money for 19 endowed
Foundation Excellence
Awards, scholarships given by
the Texas A&M Foundation to
minority students. In total,$52
million has been raised lot
scholarships, including 58i
scholarships for undergradir
ates.
Money has also been raised
for graduate fellowships and
faculty chairs to lure and keep
distinguished faculty.
Nye said the campaign is
important because of the
ing cuts in state funding.
“Don't bother (lobbying
state officials for more money),
They want to be supportive of
higher education but the money
just isn’t there,” he said.
Nye said that Gates has
helped the University cope with
budget cuts by putting an empha
sis on spending efficiently.
The importance of research
at A&M was discussed by
those who believe it distin
guishes A&M from other stale
schools and those who
expressed concern that funding
research will do little to help
the average student.
“What is done in the
research labs in the morning is
taught in the classroom in the
afternoon,” Gates said.
Regent Anne Armstrong
said that One Spirit, One
Vision will give the University
a chance to improve its weak
programs and boost its ranking
among top universities in
America.
“(One Spirit, One \
will make us not just in ti
20 but maybe in the very top,
Armstrong said.
The campaign began
2000, and all donations m
to A& M between that date until
2007 count toward the cam
paign goal.
