NEWS
THE BATTALION
TS
Continued from page 1A
legislation that same meeting,
but the bill was tabled for fur
ther discussion.
Student Body President and
senior accounting major Matt
Josefy said he has since signed
the Open Access to Budget Bill
into law. Students interested in
the budget can now fill out a
request form available through
the sga.tamu.edu Web site. The
budget information will then be
sent to them as an Adobe Acrobat
(.pdf) file, he said, to save costs
on both sides.
Speaker of the Senate and jun
ior philosophy major Matthew
Wilkins has filed an “amicus
curiae,” or friend of the court
brief, for the appeal case. Wilkins
said in the brief that Teems has
served as a senator in good stand
ing and he would “regret the
recall of a senator of his distinc
tion.” But, Wilkins said, an
injunction by the judicial court to
dismiss the recall would upset the
delicate balance of power
between the branches of the SGA
by making a new law that is not
created in the Senate, violates
Court precedent, undermines
Senate authority and creates the
appearance of impropriety.
As an off-campus resident.
Burden is one of Teems’ con
stituents.
“I don’t have any connection
to Dustin (Teems),” she said. “It
was something that interested me.
I looked at (McCaig’s) Web site
(sgawatch.com) and didn’t agree
with what he was saying.”
Burden said she agrees with
Teems’ position in the controver
sy and finds it to be representative
of her beliefs.
“I do agree with the way that
Senator Teems has spoken, with
his idea that the budget shouldn’t
be displayed any other way than
the way it is right now,” she said.
McCaig said he intends to
seek an additional two days on the
recall to make up for the time he
has been forced to spend on put
ting together a case rather than
collecting signatures.
“I’d like to deter people from
using (the,ojudicial) court to
advance frivolous cases,” he said.
The SGA constitution lists no
requirements that students who
wish to petition for a recall must
meet to target specific senators.
McCaig lives on campus and does
not fall in Teems’ constituency.
However, he is allowed to file the
petition, though he cannot sign it.
He has 10 class days to collect
300 signatures from off-campus
students to make the recall elec
tion a reality. At that point, the
vote would go to off-campus stu
dents who would have to vote to
recall Teems by a 50 percent plus
one vote.
McCaig said he has followed
the letter of the law in this case,
and his case will bear that out.
“I’m looking forward to
exposing the ludicrous nature of
this claim. It’s nothing more than
a baseless attack to stop the
recall,” he said. “They’re basing it
on stuff that doesn’t exist.
Students who wish to sign the
petition may contact McCaig at
sgawatch(2) yahoo .com.

Robert Bisor, assistant vice
president for administration, said
the new software is in line with
the Campus Master Plan because
it will enhance services delivered
to students, faculty and staff.
T2 has more than 200 cus
tomers and 45 employees that
specialize in parking, software
development and customer serv
ice for cities, universities and air
ports, according to its Web site.
Weis said he feels confident
that now is the time for TS to go
online. He said he hopes TS will
serve as a leader to other A&M
departments by showing them
that being online is a simple and
effective way to reach customers
and students.
Festival
Continued from page TA
in MSC 212, 224, 225 and 226,
AID will host its second annual
food festival in hopes of raising
funds for future social develop
mental projects in India.
AID aims to celebrate India’s
biggest festival, Diwali (Festival
of Lights) with the A&M com
munity, said Anu Agrawal, the
coordinator of SWAAD.
Puneet Singla, vice president
of AID, said opportunities to
enjoy good Indian food are few
and far between in Aggie land.
“We came up with the idea of
conducting a food festival to pro
vide a sample of the rich and
diverse culinary traditions of
India to the Bryan-College
Station community, which would
also help us raise money for a
noble cause,” Singla said.
The festival will encompass
a variety of exotic Indian cui
sine prepared by Indian stu
dents, as well as slides, pictures
and display boards exhibiting
Indian themes, including dances
and costumes.
Prakash Krishnan, president
of AID, said the University has
been responsive to AID’S pro
grams and projects, and the
Department of Multicultural
Services and Student Activities,
as well as some local businesses,
have helped to fund SWAAD.
With the proceeds from
SWAAD, the A&M chapter of
AID hopes to support a current
project in India that will hire doc
tors to train villagers in basic
health care, including childbirth
care and diseases, as well as
health camps, Sengupta said.
In addition to the food festi
val, AID has ongoing fundraisers,
including the HEB gift card pro
gram and the penny collection
drive, both of which are easy
ways for people to support AID
activities, Singla said. The HEB
gift card program generates up to
$4 for every $100 spent at HEB,
at no additional cost to the donor.
Admission to SWAAD is $8,
which is good for eight coupons
that can be exchanged for various
food items, including entrees,
desserts and breads. The event
will be held from 7 p.m tolO p.m.
