against the RHA from April 2 to
April 9.
— Treasurer Rick Lima re

IN THE THICK
OF IT.
WHO ARE WE? We’re Outward
Bound - an opportunity for you to
experience personal growth through
adventure. We’ll give you the unique
opportunity to push your limits while
enjoying the adventure of a whitewater
raft expedition in the beautiful west.
Sooner than you think, the rivers and
canyons of Colorado and Utah will
become your second home. You’ll attain
a new perspective on your environment
and yourself. As your journey unfolds,
the strangers in your group will become
friends. Together, and by yourself, you’ll
learn new ways to solve problems and
skills applicable to your everyday life.
These courses are tough. They’re
meant to be - but not beyond the reach
of anyone who tries. They’re fun. And
as safe as human ingenuity and experi
ence can make them.
WHEN? Our rafting program runs
from May through September, offering a
rich variety of courses open to the public,
including families, couples, executives,
and contracted groups. If the summer
course doesn’t suit your schedule, con
sider our other experiences: bask in the
rugged tranquility of the Rockies on a
mountaineering course, explore the
mystery of the Canyonlands of south
eastern Utah in spring or fall, or glide
through the pristine grandeur of the
winter mountains on cross-country skis.
WHERE? Your rafting course takes
you down one of the most challenging
rivers in the west - the Green, the Yampa,
or the Colorado. On a 4, 5, or 7-day ex
perience, you feel the exhilaration of
negotiating rapids and the tranquility of
exploring the ancient canyons. On your
seven-person boat, teamwork is of the
essence. Everyone aboard will take part
in every aspect of the run: paddling,
steering, navigation and captaining.
Later there will be time for hiking,
relaxing around a campfire, and falling
asleep to the background of soft river
sounds.
WHY YOU? We all need a change of
pace, an opportunity to live up to our
own potential. You can stay in your
home forever. Comfortable. Secure.
Untested in the rich waters ahead. Or
you can choose to explore the unknown.

perience necessary. Outward Bound is a

Texas A&M’s traditions are
positive and unique, say Athletic
Director Jackie Sherrill and Vice
President for Student Services
John J. Koldus.
Sherrill and Koldus spoke on
traditions to a small crowd
Wednesday night as part of this
year’s traditions awareness pro
ject, sponsored by the Residence
Hall Association. Wednesday’s
program was sponsored by
Schuhmacher Hall.
Koldus said traditions are im
portant because they indicate
where the University’s priorities
are, and they provide for a cer
tain sense of security for the fu
ture.
He said many traditions have
changed and new ones have
been added, and most reflect
positively on Texas A&M.
He said traditions like Silver
Taps, Muster, Twelfth Man and
bonfire reflect the importance
of life and service to others.
Koldus said that many stu
dents aren’t aware of many tra
ditions like the freshman band
members playing at 5 in the
morning on the day marking the
number of days until final re
view. This year’s class is Class of
’86, so they played on February
10 — Koldus’s birthday — and
B6 days until this year’s final re
view.
But Koldus said he doesn’t
like some traditions, like quad-
ding and hazing, because they
are not positive.
“Traditions should be posi
tive and especially of service to
others,” he said.
Sherrill also praised Texas
A&M’s traditions. He said the
atmosphere here is like no other
institution, and he said he found
much more than he expected
when he came here last year.
“People up north still think
A&M is a small, all military, all
male, cow school, but being
from Oklahoma, I knew better,”
Sherrill said.
He said that this view is being
corrected and pointed out that
Texas A&M competes with Yale
and Harvard tor academic
greatness.
He said that because of the
discipline here, Aggies are way
ahead of students from other
schools and that is why so many
employers want to hire Aggies.
