I do not know about anyone else, but I was never sure of President Murano's commitment to Texas A&M. I heard her speak at the first Yell Practice and at Muster. Both times she did not speak exclusively of A&M. She brought up her alma mater, which I thought was not appropriate. I felt that she was more concerned with national appearances than honoring any traditions at TAMU. I have never spoken directly with her; this is only my impression from the times I heard her speak and reviewing what she put forth as her administrative agenda. I personally think we need an Aggie to run this place. It just makes it easier for the president to relate to the students and understand the importance of traditions.

Laura,
If you define an Aggie as a student or alumnus of Texas A&M, then you're right in stating that Dr. Murano is not an Aggie. She graduated from Virginia Tech. (Continued…)

I believe that having an Aggie, or former student, serve as President is exactly what Texas A&M does NOT need. If we are determined to continue with Vision 20/20 then we need to ensure our new President is committed to that project as well. (Continued…)
