Special tours of the Texas A&M
University campus by the Rudder
Tower Information Center are
available for visitors.
The Information Center, a
branch of the Office of School Re
lations, gives the tours to indi
vidual visitors, high school groups
or others wanting to know more
about the University. Tours are
offered Monday through Friday
from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Tours can be scheduled direct
ly through the center, Elaine Ken
drick, an information center coor
dinator, said.
“We will also set up an appoint
ment for him to talk to an adviser
in the field of study he is in
terested in,” she said.
About 20 prospective students
a week take the one-hour walking
tour given by one of 14 student
tour guides, said Pam Cherry, an
information center coordinator.
The tour begins at the mini
theater, to the left of the Rudder
Tower information desk, where
visitors can watch a film about the
University and student life. Slide
presentations of the various col
leges on campus are also shown.
Russ Ingram, a sophomore civil
engineering major who is a tour
guide, said the tourists are then
taken to the top of Rudder Tower
to view the campus and through
the Memorial Student Center.
From the MSC, the guide then
takes them to various points of in
terest such as the president’s
home, Kyle field, the library and
the medical and veterinary medi
cine schools, he said. Many of the
residence halls and other build
ings on campus also are pointed
out.
While showing the campus,
tour guides tell the prosective stu
dents about Texas A&M traditions
and give them a brief history of
College Station, Ingram said.
Guides take about two students
at a time, many of whom bring
their families, Kendrick said.
Cherry said large high school
groups from all over the state
come to tour the campus. Some
times they will want to tour a cer
tain are of the campus such as the
vet school and we are able to
accommodate them, she said.
Aside from the general walking
tour, other tours are available, in
such places as the observatory in
the Oceanography and Meteorol
ogy Building, the nuclear reactor
and the Cyclotron. These special
tours are not arranged by the In
formation Center but can be sche
duled through the respective de
partments, Cherry said.
The observatory, which offers a
view of the campus from 158 feet,
is open to the public every Tues
day at 4 p.m.. Weather Station
Manager Charlie Brenton said.
Kendrick said another popular
attraction is the nuclear reactor.
Reactor supervisor Gary Waldrep
said nuclear engineering students
are available to explain how the
reactor works and answer any
questions about it. He said those
wishing to tour the reactor may
drop by any time from 9 a.m. to
noon and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, but asks
that large groups make an appoint
ment.
Anyone wishing to find out ab
out the various tours that Texas
A&M offers or any prospective
student who wants to take a walk
ing tour of the campus may call or
drop by the information center for
more details.
