Ags will ‘hit’ the slopes in March
Skiers practice for the real thing
By MICHELLE SCUDDER
Although last month’s snow wasn’t
enough reason to get snow skis out,
Texas A&M University has its own
reason all year around.
Mount Aggie, the 36-foot by 100-
foot artificial turf slope supports ski
enthusiasts and beginners in classes
sponsored by the physical education
department.
Beginning and advanced classes
are taught at all P. E. levels with a fee
of $25, for students who do not have
their own equipment.
Mount Aggie, which has been in
existence three years and is located
east of G. Rollie White Coliseum, is
one of the largest artiflcal slopes of its
type in the country, said Bill Greg
ory, ski instructor.
Mike Davis, a junior petroleum
engineering major who took snow
skiing at Texas A&M last fall said,
“The class taught me all the basics I
needed to know. It was just a matter
of using them. After taking the class I
felt I was ready for an intermediate
slope when I got to Aspen.”
Other students on campus are tak
ing an interest in skiing besides those
registered for classes.
The MSC Travel Committee is
going to Wolf Creek, Colo., March
10-18, while the Ski Club is going to
Steamboat Springs, Colo., March
10-17. Applications and information
concerning both trips are available in
Room 216 of the MSC.
T went skiing with the Floricul
ture and Ornamental Horticulutre
Club during Christmas vacatiqn to
Lake Eldora, Colo., ’ said Pam War
rick, junior horticulture major. “We
paid for our transportation and lodg
ing with proceeds from student floral
concessions and plant sales. The ski
ing conditions were great and it was
fun to go with other kids that are in
horticulture like I am."
Some students may shy away from
skiing because of the expense, but
there are ways to cut costs. Multi
day ski lift tickets, skiing off season,
group travel, and lodging away from
the slopes may save a student
enough money to make a ski trip pos
sible.
Lift tickets may range in price
from $8 to $14 per day, depending on
where one is skiing, and whether it is
mid-week or a weekend. Prices are
higher during the busy season, Dec.
18 to April 1. Equipment rental may
range from $12 to $20 per day de
pending on if it's rented at the slopes
(more expensive) or in town. Ac
commodations vary greatly in cost
depending on the quality of the room
and the number of people.
Skiing has a fashion world all its
own, but since ski clothing can be
expensive, blue jeans sprayed with
Scotch Guard, a water repellent, and
borrowed jackets serve the same
purpose. The most important con
sideration in ski clothing is keeping
warm; gloves, heavy socks, a hat, and
thermal underwear are necessary,
along with a jacket or heavy sweater.
Many beginning skiers are

plagued by various phobias: the fear
of learning, fear of falling, fear of
being hurt, fear of getting hit, and
fear of getting laughed at.
“The first step toward overcoming
fear is to know that fear is natural and
normal,” said Laurence Korwin, di
rector of the sports training institute
at Texas A&M. “Fear is nature’s pro
tective emotion.”
“Once the skill becomes an au
tomatic response to you,” said Bill
Gregory, Texas A&M ski instructor,
“there is no longer a fear of the cir
cumstances.”
Skiing can be hazardous for some
one who has never had lessons in
skiing or putting on equipment
properly. Lift tickets have a note say
ing that skiing is a hazardous sport
and that the resort disavows any re
sponsibility for injury.
“I like snowskiing because it’s one
of the few sports that is all up to you,”
Davis said. “If you fall you can get up
and try again. It’s more like you
against the mountain instead of you
and an opponent. It’s enjoyment and
competition together.

By United Press International
HOUSTON — Wildlife biologists
will spend the next five months look
ing for new colonies of the shy, se
cretive Houston toad.
The Houston toad — more accu
rately known as Bufo houstonesis —
is considered the most endangered
U.S. amphibian. Only about 1,000 to
1,500 are believed to remain.
A federal wildlife expert said two
federally protected sanctuaries used
by the rare little Houston toad were
scratched by the Interior Depart
ment Wednesday for a fundamental
reason: The amphibians are un
doubtedly already extinct there.
“Both areas have been so modified
and hashed up by development that
no toads could possibly be there,
said Dr. C. Kenneth Dodd, Jr. in
Washington.
The two tracts eliminated by the
federal government were the
