Chris Bell and UT
By Byron LaMasters
One thing that I learned about Chris Bell this past week was his work in UT student government. Not only did Bell graduate from UT, but he was instrumental in reinstating student government:
The son of a decorated veteran, Bell was born on November 23, 1959, in Abilene, Texas. He grew up in Dallas and first expressed interest in public service while attending the University of Texas at Austin, where he received a Bachelor of Journalism degree in 1982. While there, he served as President of the Interfraternity Council, was a member of the Texas Cowboys and was named Omicron Delta Kappa Leader of the Year for his pivotal role in reviving the UT student government.
The Daily Texan had a good story on Thursday on Bell's speech at Sholtz's.

I was a student at UT when the referendum came up to reinstate student government. At the time, the Daily Texan comic strip had a character, Hank the Hallucination, that ran for President as a write-in. As I recall, Hank won by a landslide.
