"It has only been two years
since we were paying tuition
here," Wohlgemuth said.
"Raising tuition prices is very
sensitive to me."
Nick Anthis, president of
Texas Aggie Democrats, said he
does not support Wohlgemuth
because she voted in favor of
tuition deregulation and has cut
spending for healthcare, things
that people depend on.
"She supported tuition dereg
ulation, which is costing A&M
students more and more money
every day,” Anthis said.
During Wohlgemuth's term in
the Texas Legislature, the state
faced a $10 billion budget
deficit. Instead of increasing
taxes, Wohlgemuth reformed
health and human services, sav
ing the state $1.1 billion.
If elected to the U.S. House
of Representatives, Wohlgemuth
said she would do everything
that she could to increase the
amount of money coming to
A&M because the research done
at A&M is economically impor
tant to the entire state.
"Representative Wohlgemuth
is a fiscal conservative who has
fought for her constituents down
in Austin and will continue that
fight down in Washington," said
Logan Renfrew, a junior busi
ness major.
As a conservative,
Wohlgemuth said it is important
that Texas universities increase
the number of people who grad
uate from higher education insti
tutions, especially in proportion
to the demographics of the state.
"The goal of our education is
that we should educate all peo
ple," Wohlgemuth said. "But I
see the real problem is in our
(kindergarten) through 12th
(grade)."
Having served on the higher
education committee in the
Texas Legislature, Wohlgemuth
said she has been a friend to
Texas A&M in the past.
Five of the seven members of
the Texas A&M Board of
Regents have endorsed her for
Congress, Wohlgemuth said.
"These people know I will be
supporting Texas A&M,"
Wohlgemuth said.
Enrollment
Continued from page 1A
With a spring enrollment of
10,246 students, Blinn credits the
increase to its proven record in
success, said Gena Parsons, pub
lic information officer at Blinn.
Parsons said the close work
ing relationship between the two
schools has allowed Blinn to
transfer more students to A&M
than any other school in Texas.
“We’ve found our niche here
in Bryan” Parsons said.
“About 4,000 to 5,000 students
per year transfer to A&M.”
Parsons said that Blinn’s
increase in enrollment might
stall because of possible tuition
increases at A&M in the future.
Lane Stephenson, deputy
director for University Relations,
said A&M does not intend to
increase enrollment at the under
graduate level.
“This year we’ll try to find out
why those who didn’t come did
n’t accept,” Ashley said. “Many
don’t realize that with those
increases come more financial
aid, but once again a lot of stu
dents don’t understand that.”

Department of Modern an
Classical Languages, said ill
Hispanic Studies degree is!
first of its kind in Texas.
“We are trying to do sot
thing completely different'
Kallendorf said. “This is noli
traditional Spanish Ph.D.”
Eduardo Urbina, professorol
Spanish at A&M, said thedegre
will be comprehensive and inter
disciplinary for people interested
in different areas of academics.
“There will be a broader per
spective than just a language^
literature approach,” Urbina said.
“The basic philosophy willbei
understand the culture, histoiy,
social problems and economic
problems of Hispanic people.”
Urbina said the idea for tie
degree started in 1997 when I
Department of Modern and
Classical Languages began
thinking about the increasing
Hispanic population in Texas.
“The A&M system has a
large Hispanic student popula
tion,” he said. "We wanted to
provide a degree that students
would be interested in.”
Kallendorf said there is a pro
posal to split the Departmentd
Modern and Classical Languages
into two separate departmentsbj
the beginning of September.
Oliver said a new Departmeni
of Hispanic Studies and
Department of European and
Classical Languages and
Cultures is pending approval
from the Texas A&M Board oi
Regents, A&M system chancel
lor and University Presidem
Robert M. Gates.
Urbina said a Ph.D. ii
Hispanic Studies would not limn
a graduate of the program to a
career in academia. ; .
“With the degree beingkr-
disciplinary, a student can spe
cialize,” he said. “Graduatescan
use the degree in a wide ranged
jobs in industry, govemmentand
other jobs in the private sector."
Urbina said that at least!
minor in Spanish is required
However, the student must be
fluent in Spanish, he said
because the core classes will be
taught in Spanish.
“This is a special program
in the sense that it’s in cooper
ation with other schools'
Kallendorf said.
