classes than smaller schools.
Despite this, some professors do
try to engage their classes in dis
cussion, sacrificing time they
could have used to cover more
material, Egenolf said.
A&M takes some heat in the
survey for its conservative repu
tation, coming in at No. 12 in
the “Alternative Lifestyles not
an Alternative” category.
“There will not be too much
jaw-dropping when I tell mem
bers this at the next meeting,”
said Chris Smith, president of
the Gay, Lesbian, Transgendered
and Bisexual Aggies. “We
understand there is a problem
and several organizations on
campus are working toward
acceptance of alternative
lifestyles. Most of these organi
zations would be superfluous if
there was not a problem.”
With students and faculty
working together, the
University foresees improve
ments in both categories.
“The Princeton Review rank
ings were based mainly on per
ceptions and there is not
whole lot we can do about that,
said Dr. Bill Kibler, interim via
president for student affairs
“We recognize that our abilil)
to influence outsiders’ percep
tions is limited. What weeani
is try to meet the needs of out
students.”
