CSAB disbanded
Take me out to the ball game: Last Year's Texan
team had an outstanding season. This year they are
predicted to be a strong force on the baseball diamond.
Practice has begun for the Spring Semester and prepara-
tions are being made for another big season. See related
column on Page 3. 5

CSAB, the Chancellor's Stu-
dent Advisory Board was of-
ficially disbanded Jan. 4, for
what school officials contend! was
lack of direction and purpose.
The disbanding of CSAB —
the committee of student
representatives appointed from
every school in the Texas A&M
System — is effective immediate-
ly, and was announced in a for-
mal letter addressed individual-
ly to student and school officials.
CSAB, said TSU Student Body
President Robert Parkey, was
originally designed to provide a
means for the Chancellor of the
Texas A&M System — current-
ly Perry L. Adkisson — to
receive student feedback on
A&M policy and student con-
cerns through combinations of
students representing each col-
lege in the Texas A&M system.
Designated Tarleton CSAB
representative Nishi Whitely,
Pagkey said^ wp ^isgted to|h§fc-
p&sitturi as part of TSUrs Student"
Government Association's Ex-
ecutive Council. Because her
position was dissolved, he said,
she would probably be assigned
a new Executive Council position
with similar duties.
Student killed at bar
TSU senior Janna Lee Walker
died Dec. 10 from injuries sus-
tained in an automobile accident
on the 1600 block of East
Washington.
Walker, 22, was immediately
taken from the scene of the ac-
cident to Harris Methodist
Stephenville, where she died at
1:30 a.m. that Sunday.
Walker had apparently stepped
in front of a 1986 Mercury —
driven by 32-year-old Terry
Johnson — was struck, and then
knocked into another lane where
she was run over by 22-year-old
Jan Oliver, who was driving a
1980 Ford Fairmont.
Walker was a Home
Economics major, said Chairman
of the TSU home economics
department Ruby Nell Ruth, and
a memorial service was held for
her December 12.
The Rev. John Armstrong of
the Faith Lutheran Church on
365 N St Peter Stvl officiated the
ceremony.
"She was a very popular
student~a real up little gal," said
Ruth. "She was well liked."
Walker's name was added to
the Deanna Supercinski endow-
ment fund-originally named
after the honors student who died
Nov. 22.
The Texas Home Economics
Association has agreed to donate
the $500 scholarship that Dean-
na Supercinski would have used
this semester to this fund, said
Ruth.
The C.J. Davidson Association
is also donating the remaining
amount from the C.J. Davidson
Scholarship that Supercinski
would have used this semester,
as well—$750 for the next three
semesters—to the newly renam-
ed fund.
"Any friends or alumnae who
would like to contribute to this
fund may," she said.
Memorial contributions may
be sent to the Tarleton State
University Development Fund at
P.O. Box 369, Tarleton Station,
76402.

Rush activities hit TSU
By Barbara Martin
Staff Writer
The InterFraternity Council of
Tarleton State University will
conduct Men's Spring Rush dur-
ing the week of January 22-26.
Registration for rush activities
will be held January 17-22 from
9 am - 4:30 pm in front of the
Student Center. A $5 fee will be
charged for registration, said IFC
president David Parkey.
IFC will hold a rush orienta-
tion on Monday , January 22 in
the small theater of the Fine Arts
Center where each of the six
fraternity presidents will speak
said Parkey. He addeed that a
reception will follow in the choir
room of the FAC where each of
the fraternities will have a booth.
Fraternities participating in
Spring Rush are Alpha Gamma
Rho, Delta Chi, Kappa Alpha
Order, Kappa Delta Rho, Lamb-
da Chi Alpha and Tau Kappa
Epsilon.
Parkey said that all rush par-
tipants are required to attend the
Monday night orientation. He
added that late registration will
be provided at the door but IFC
members would like for students
to register during the alloted
times in the Student Center and
Humanities buildings.
He stressed that IFC officers
will attend all rush functions and
will be available for questions.
"We want everyone to make
the best choice, we want them to
know what's going on," Parkey
said.
Students are eligible to rush if
they have obtained a grade point
average of 80 or above from high
school.
"If this is their first semester
a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or bet-
ter from all attempted college
coursework is the requirement,"
Parkey said..
Parkey said that fraternity ac-
tivities will last throughtout the
rush week with bid day on
Friday.
' 'Parties can last all day as long
as they are over by 10:30. No
alcohol will be permitted," he
said.
IFC is calling Spring Rush an
open activity with the exception
of the mandatory event on Mon-
day night.
' 'We'll keep her in some form
or fashion," he said. "CSAB is
not an integral part of our student
organization. Fortunately,
Nothing revolves around it. It's
gone."
Whitely had only recently
received the notification when
she talked to THE J-TAC.
"All I know," she said, "is
that I received that letter [concer-
ning the disbanding]. It's a shock
to me and to all of us."
Parkey said that the organiza-
tion had deteriorated over the
years. "With the situation being
what it was," Parkey said, "it
needed to be disbanded."
What the situation was, said
Tarleton Dean of Students Rus-
ty Jergins, were groups of
students who attempted to repre-
sent their schools' interests ex-
clusively at CSAB meetings —
not the interests of the entire
system as CSAB had been
originally organized to do.
Organized in the fall of 1983,
he said, CSAB was the idea of
several A&M. University
-siuftohtsJ—an' - jdea*tlfif - woukt
ideally have brought-tliese groups
of students together to discuss
problems pertinent to the schools
in the entire system.
"I feel that it was created to
get A&M [University] on the
Board of Regents [TAAMUS]. I
think toiey hoped to build
credibility and develop reputa-
tions, similar to what A&M's
' Student Government is doing
now."
From 1983 to 1986, he said,
schoolwide issues were discuss-
ed. ' 'But npthing much came out
of it," Jergins said.
CSAB would indeed attend
TAAMUS meetings, although
they were not allowed to speak.
"But CSAB was there, and
found out what went on in the
system—a means of informa-
tion," Jergins said.
After the first several years,
the Advisor of CSAB would be
automatically appointed from the
same school as the CSAB chair-
man. "In other words," Jergins
said, "If / were chairman, our
advisor [for the entire CSAB
system] would be Drl [Johnny]
Johnson."
This, he said, made consisten-
cy within the organization
impossible.

organisation has lost track of its
purpose. Schools have tried to

Senate changes to
improve quality
By Pmanuel Alvear
Editor in Chief
An announcement of
reorganization, a proposed con-
stitution, and a schedule of up-
coming events for the Spring
semester were the focus of
discussion at the first Student
Government Association (SGA)
meeting, held Monday, January
15.
The announcement of the new
committees was explained in
detail by Speaker of the Senate,
Tommy Green, and Vice-
President J. C. Johnson. The
Senate will be divided into four
committees. These committees
will be Academic Affairs,
University Operations, External
Affairs and Student Advisory.
The reorganization came about
in order to better coordinate the
work of members of SGA. When
speaking about the previous com-
mittee organization, Tommy
Green said, "It was a waste.
Some of the committees were
having to go but and look for
things to keep them busy."
The Academic Affairs Com-
mittee will give student an
avenue to express opinions and.
.concerns relating to subjects such
as scheduling of courses, quali-
ty of exam and admissions. The
Chairman of this committee will
have a seat on the University
Academic Affairs Council.
The University Operations
Committee will deal with fees,
Campus Facilities and Security.
The External Affairs Commit-
tee will deal with the Legislative
Information Service and relations
with Alumni and Foundation
relations.
The fourth committee will be
the Student Advisory Committee
' which will deal with! Campus
voting and elections, University
Discipline and Bylaws and Con-
stitutions of SGA.
This reorganization will retain
two already existing committees
and regroup the other existing
committees from the previous
three committees into two. The
Academic Affairs and the
University Operations commit-
tees will be newly formed, but
the External Affairs and the Stu-
dent Advisory Committees were
already established, said Green.
"This is just to improve part
of the reorganization that did not
work out as well as we had
hoped," said Green, referring to
the reorganization of SGA ap-
proved by the student body in a
general election held during the
Spring semester of 1989.
Robert Parkey, President of
SGA, also presented a proposal
for a Constitution for SGA.
Although students had voted in
favor of an SGA reorganization,
they did not vote on a constitu-
tion, he said.
* Parkey said that this proposed
Constitution could possibly go
before the student body in a
Campus-wide vote during the
Class Favorite elections which
