Services Fees, allowing money
to go back to students in the
form of various programs.
Herreth said he has been
working with Transportation
Services and has developed a
parking plan where all blue and
yellow lots would open after
5:30 p.m. for the use of all stu
dents, regardless of what color
parking pass they have. Herreth
said he supports TS Director
Rodney Weis’ parking plan,
because he feels it will help the
current parking situation live up
to its potential.
Herreth said he does not have
a specific plan for campus unity
during the fall, but that his plan
to add living-learning communi
ties to Northside residence halls
will help unify students.
“Every SBP since Zac
Coventry has said this is what
we’re going to do in the fall, and
this is going to cure our problem,’’
Herreth said. “1 don’t have one of
those, because 1 know that’s not
going to cure our problem.”
Herreth said he likes A&M
President Robert M. Gates’
admissions plan and that he wants
to increase diversity through
recruitment and retention using
diversity programs already set up
by student government.
“The admissions plan Dr.
Gates has set forth is right on
target,” Herreth said. “We don’t
like quotas and Dr. Gates' plan
doesn’t allow for quotas.”
Herreth said he agrees with
Vision 2020 and the hiring of
new faculty, as long as Aggie
traditions aren’t lost.
“I think Vision 2020 is a great
idea on paper as long as the stu
dents don’t lose their experience
here at A&M,” Herreth said.
Herreth said he would work
hard to get students’ voices
heard by the administration.
“You have to be firm,” he said.
“You have to know what the stu
dents want and take that and not
give up until those ideas and those
concerns are strongly heard. You
have to go in there with valid rea
sons, your ideas to back those up,
and just stay strong.”
is a program for change, and he
wants to put the responsibility of
change on the students.
“I am going to leave it up to
the students; whatever they want
is what 1 am going to try to make
happen,” he said.
On the issue of Bonfire,
Hernandez said he supports
what the students want, and that
he would support an off-campus
bonfire because the students
want it.
Hernandez also said he wants
to work to move Bonfire back
on campus, and wants to set up a
committee to gather the opinion
of the student body for an on-
campus bonfire.
“I am going to definitely
work on moving Bonfire back
on campus, because 1 am going
to represent the student’s 4 wish
es,” he said.
Hernandez said he realizes
parking is a huge issue and that
he would work with thei|
istration and students to
solution to the problem.
“We need to makesml

“They have a clear vision for
the future and how the VP for
student affairs will be part of
that,” Kibler said. “They also
have a plan to grow although
they are the largest university in
the state of Mississippi. I hope
I can provide the leadership and
direction to cause the institu
tion to grow some.”
Bob Strawser, chair of the
vice president for student affairs
search committee at A&M and
an accounting professor, said
that when Kibler and two other
candidates were interviewed last
fall, the committee chose not to
recommend them to A&M
President Robert M. Gates and
reopened the search.
Strawser said he has worked
with Kibler for a long time on
committees, such as the Honor
Council Committee, and MSU
is gaining a a great person and
a good student affairs adminis
trator.
“If Jackie Sherrill wei
Mississippi State, so
Kibler," Strawser said.
Matt Josefy, studem!
president and a senior
ing major, said he hasifc
oped good relationships
Kibler, both professional
personal.
“(He) integrates all ol
self and family and has
that for many years,")
said.
Josefy said Kibler insi

“He will be a legacy
