July 31, 2003GOP Budget Cuts Kill A&M Journalisn Dept.By Byron LaMastersBeing a good Longhorn, I usually tend to act with glee when I hear of Aggie misfortunes. But, its not funny. The Republican budget cuts are already having real effects on students. Several weeks ago, it was the cuts in the UT library hours. Now, it's the A&M journalism department. More from the Daily Texan:

I knew a couple of people who worked on the "Battalion", and they always looked forward with great anticipation to the inevitable month-long editorial debate about (a) whether someone should be allowed to wear a hat in the Memorial Student Center; (b) whether Bonfire was using up too many trees; (c) whether class should be canceled when Reveille barks. Trust me, this is funny to a Texan. All the rest of y'all can read some other comments. Posted by: Norbizness at July 31, 2003 08:19 AMDoes "out of control enrollment" mean there are too many students wanting to study journalism (the way "out of control spending" means too much spending)? Too popular so we have to eliminate it? Does that make the foggiest bit of sense? Posted by: phil at July 31, 2003 08:49 AMByron - I agree w/ you - but TAPPED makes an interesting point on this: http://www.prospect.org/weblog/archives/2003/07/index.html#001297 Posted by: Josiah at July 31, 2003 12:53 PMI worked at The Battalion for a year, and I still have a relatively thick stack of death threats I got whenever I defended gay rights or abortion rights. And the undergraduate journalism program at A&M does (did) suck -- I can attest to that. I was a J-major for two years before fleeing to English Lit. But I have a sick feeling they're just doing this so they can afford to buy Dennis Franchione a private jet. Posted by: Mike at August 1, 2003 06:30 AM"but TAPPED makes an interesting point ..." Here is what Tapped had to say: Tapped says: Scrap away. We can't think of a bigger waste of four years of college than to study journalism there. Journalism isn't an academic subject; it's a trade, one that almost anyone with the basic skill set -- clear writing and aggressive reporting -- can pick up in six months at a small metro daily. It sounds like somebody over at Tapped has a chip on their shoulder about journalism school. Mike - Good point - and the same principle applies. I don't think you have to have an MBA to be successful in business. And I can easily back that up with experiences from those I know in business and that have gone to business school. If you look at a lot of the best journalists out there - I'll bet the majority of them did not get a specialized journalism undergraduate degree. It's the experience that counts. Good lib arts degrees like Art History, English,anthropology - they will serve you just as well as Communications,advertising,business. That being said, those majors should all be options for a student - and journalism should remain at A & M. The point TAPPED makes is that Aggies who want to be journalists don't need to transfer now in order to fulfill their dreams. They can gain experiences in other ways.

For example, cctv equipment, such as the cctv camera, can employ both wired and wireless cctv solutions. Overuse has led to Britain being re-dubbed: cctv UK. A point to make here is that there are a range of different cameras that can be involved: wireless camera, pinhole camera, covert camera, spy camera, and security camera, are all different types of camera that might be involved. Not least because the picture can be downloaded and recorded easily into a digital video recorder or other DVR system using a DVR card in your home PC. In fact, you can even plug in a usb phone to call the police with if you see anything suspicious! Of course, monitoring the safety of your home and family needed all see all that scary and intimidating. For example, you can use a teddy cam baby monitor to make non-invasive monitoring of your baby. Long Run Printing: Short Run Printing: Number Plates: Signage http://www.impact-digital-print.co.uk/
