willing to represent the students to the
upper administration,” he said.
Barry Hammond, former Memorial
Student Center Council president and a
search committee member, said he is
looking for a candidate who not only
values student opinions but also under
stands the uniqueness of the Aggie spir
it.
Kibler, who held an open forum per
taining to his candidacy last week, said
his 23-year tenure at A&M would allow
for a smooth transition into the new
position if elected.
“A&M is a very unique institution. It
has a very unique culture,” he said. “I
think someone that already knows and
understands that and has worked effec
tively within that culture and communi
ty means that 1 could kind of hit the
ground running.”
A reception honoring Southerland
will be held Thursday, April 24, in the J.
Wayne Stark Galleries from 3 to 5 p.m.,
and is open to students, faculty and staff.

moment. For now, a retired American gen
eral has taken charge of an Arab country, as
Douglas MacArthur did in Japan after
World War II and MacArthur’s father did in
the Philippines after the Spanish-American
War.
Garner, though, said he has no inten
tion of leading Iraq. “The new ruler of
Iraq is going to be an Iraqi. I don’t rule
anything,” he said.
He was careful to frame his mission in
humanitarian terms: “What better day in
your life can you have,” he said, “than to
be able to help somebody else, to help
other people, and that is what we intend
to do.”
After his arrival, he visited Baghdad’s
1,000-bed Yarmuk hospital, which was
overwhelmed with Iraqi casualties in the
final days of the war and then stripped by
looters.
“We will help you, but it is going W
take time,” he told doctors.
His Office of Reconstruction and
Humanitarian Aid is to coordinate emer
gency aid to the 24 million Iraqis and over
see the rebuilding of the nation’s infra
structure and establishment of an interini||
Iraqi government.
That last, crucial goal was challenged
Monday by Iran, which said it would no!
recognize any government installed by
America.
