they are responsible for stu
dents’ academic experience,
Fike said.
“Sometimes the faculty
looks like hired help,” Fike
said. “Students don’t always
stop and think about the stakes
that the faculty has in the insti
tution. A&M means a great deal
to the faculty. We’re all in this
thing together.”
In addition to working at at
NASA, Fike has been
employed at Southern
Methodist University, Texas
Instruments, Ford, Aero Space,
IBM and RCA. He currently
teaches telecommunications
and networking.
“Fike is one of those guys
where you don’t leave his class
any dumber,” said Chase
Stanzel, a senior industrial dis
tribution major. "He’s tough
but fair. You leave there know
ing a lot more than when you
came in.”
Fike has been teaching at
A&M since 1992 and was pre
viously a senator for the
Faculty Senate. He has also
served as chairman of the
Personnel and Welfare
Committee.
“(Fike) is an extremely
valuable member of the execu
tive committee, handling bene
fits for faculty and staff and
any other issues that affect
work life,” Loudder said.
“He’s very organized and gets
things done.”
This year Fike will assist the
current speaker, Martyn Gunn,
by attending functions such as
the Student Senate meetings.
He will help set the agenda for
meetings and preside over the
Faculty Senate in the Speaker’s
absence.
“It’s overwhelming. It’s one
of those things that to the out
side world may not be a big
deal,” Fike said. “But it’s a
tremendous honor around here,
and I’m astonished about it.”
Board

conducting phone surveys of alumni and using
results of surveys of students, faculty and staff
that were conducted for other purposes.
Darrell Dixon, a junior psychology major,
was one of the 100 people to attend the forum.
On a pad titled “University Government
Relations,” he made a suggestion: “Attempt to
increase the student body’s involvement in the
local government. The fact being that we, the
college students, amass the majority of the
Bryan-College Station area, yet do not take an
active role in the formations of law and alloca
tion of city funds that inevitably affect us."
Members of the A&M community were invit
ed to the forum in a university-wide e-mail from
Gates on June 14.
The final report will be issued by the LBB
Oct. 1, McKeown-Moak said.
Sheila DeLeon, an LBB analyst who repre
sented the board at the open forum, refused to say
why the legislature decided to conduct the review.
McKeown-Moak said anyone who was not
able to attend the forum can e-mail their com
ments to tamuforum@mgtamer.com until July 7.

without trial combined with the
frequent interrogation that may
have included problematic meth
ods — may have contributed to an
atmosphere that pushed people to
attempt suicide,” said Alistair
Hodgett of the human rights
group Amnesty International.
“All detainees are treated
humanely,” Guantanamo military
spokesman Maj. David S. Kolarik
said in written response to ques
tions from The Associated Press.
He said all prisoners are
treated “in accordance with the
principles” of the Geneva
Conventions “to the extent
appropriate and consistent with
military necessity.”
No Iraqi prisoners have killed
themselves since the U.S. inva
sion, said Lt. Col. Barry Johnson,
a spokesman for Miller in
Baghdad. Nor do military records
contain accounts of prisoner sui
cide attempts in Iraq, he said.
