•age 8 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, APRILS. 1978 Kyle Field will serve as the site Summer school Cruise is of world’s largest volleyball game c By DOUG GRAHAM Battlaion Staff The silly season is upon us. The calm scholarly pursuit of nuclear knowledge in the Cyclotron is stop ping, and the endless scurrying of professors trying to get published is ceasing. More important things are being wafted in the soft spring breeze. Things like establishing a stupendous new world record for Texas A&M University. A record in the Guinness Book of World Rec ords. A Texas A&M student is planning to set a new record by holding the biggest volleyball game ever in Kyle Field. Paul Jackson, the originator of the idea, said that on April 22, at 11 a.m., 4,000 Aggies will gather to do battle with almost 6,000 spectators in the stands. The entire happening will be a festival of Spring fever. “This is the time Spring fever hits us most,” Jackson said, “and the best cure is this giant volleyball game.” Yell leaders will give the rules to the crowd. Students will take sides according to whether they live on or off campus. The Corps of Cadets will play for the off-campus students if the sides are too uneven. Line judges will be present, and the rules will be modified for the game. However, the rules will be basically the same, Jackson said. The realization may finally dawn on the smiling crowd in Kyle Field that the volleyball game was but a ruse, a ruse to get all 4,000 of them into the unrelenting grip of the silly season. Texas A&M University offers its entering freshmen a unique academic opportunity. For two months in the summer, students can earn six credit hours in the Summer School at Sea program aboard the T/S Texas Clipper, a 15,000-ton training ship of the Texas Maritime Academy. The program is a cooperative ef fort between the Moody College and the College of Liberal Arts at Texas A&M. The nine-week cruise begins June 10 in Galveston. Summer school students are enrolled in the Corps of Cadets of the Texas Maritime Academy. Known aboard ship as prep cadets, these students are required to clean their rooms, assist in shipboard maintenance and operation, and help with food services. Besides a work-study program for prep cadets, the nine week cruise is part of required training for Maritime Academy cadets pursuing U.S. Coast Guard licensing in the Mer chant Marines. “The cadets really like it. It is a unique experience, said David Schob, associate professor of history at Texas A&M. Schob teaches a his tory course on the cruise which he has attended seven times in the past 14 years. Entering freshmen can earn six credit hours in English 103, History 105, or Math 104. The fee for Texas residents in $944, while it is $1,134 for out-of-state residents. “All the classes were held at sea, usually Monday through Thursday, while on the remaining days in dif ferent foreign ports we went sight seeing,” said Scott Thompson, a junior mechanical engineering major from Houston. Thompson went on the cruise in the summer of 1975, before he entered A&M the following fall as a freshman. Thompson said his favorite stop was Aruba Island off the coast of Venezuela. “There were some really great beaches there,” he said. However, from Santo Domingo to Caracas it was a rough voyage.
