why they are being required to teach.”
Gates said improvements in diversity recruiting,
which was the primary objective for the 2003-2004
school year, is evident in the rise in minority enroll
ment for the Class of2008. African-American enroll
ment increased by 35 percent, Hispanic enrollment
increased by 22 percent, and Asian enrollment in
creased 11 percent.
“An A&M undergraduate should be distinguish
able not only by an undergraduate curriculum of
excellence, but also a signature experiential back
ground,” Gates said.
Gates said a task force will be formed by the
end of the month to expedite the implementation
of the goals, and that the first phase implementa
tion will be in February.
Gates announced that a new position to im
prove A&M’s public image, vice president for
communications, is in progress of being filled.
“This business of ‘when you’re on the inside
you can’t explain A&M, and when you're on the
outside you can’t understand it' needs to go by the
wayside. We need to tell a better story of what’s
going on at A&M,” Gates said.
Lynn Ruoff, Senate Caucus Leader and parent
of two A&M students, asked if tuition after
significantly increasing over the past year
would be increased again.
“The reason tuition is going up is because state
revenues are going down, and that’s just a fact
of life. The truth is we are better off than most
states,” Gates said.

he changed into PT (physical training) clothes.
“He kept up on most of (physical train
ing).” Wiersch said. “He fell back a little
on the run.”
Tracht said his upperclassmen were probably
more patient with him than with other fish.
“They were very generous to teach me
everything: how to set up my plate, eat and
greet someone,” Tracht said.
Powell, who took over for Tracht as
Squadron 2 academic volunteer, said every
one is asking her if she will make the same
deal with the Class of 2008.
“I had to decline,” Powell said. “The fish
of 2008 have to come up with a different mo
tivational strategy.”
Tracht stopped advising the squadron in
the spring because he is working on his doc
torate dissertation and could no longer com
mit as much time to the students.
“Basically I’m very proud of the outfit and
what they have done and are buildingtl
selves up to do in life,” Tracht said, "i I
totally for them. I just hope it continual
motivate them to do well in academk'l
everything they achieve in life.” I
Wiersch said Tracht gave each oftheri
card that had a special message. [
“It says ‘When all else fails, pel
tence prevails,’” Wiersch said. “Pel

Here we stand today, first in the Cl
