Members of club
share experience
of surfing waves
By Fiona Soltes
Reporter
Surfs up! I’m stoked that I don’t
have class today so I can go out and
get tubed. If no one cuts Face on me
today, I bet I shred it back.
Confused? Members of the Texas
A&M Surf Club aren’t.
“When surfers meet, there’s a
common bond,” said Kelly Francis,
president of A&M’s Surf Club. “We
share the experience of a high that
can’t be found anywhere else.”
Surfing is definitely addictive,
said Surf Club vice president Mon
ique Long. Long, a sophomore mar
keting major, and Francis, a junior
management major, said they
formed the club this semester to get
through, the withdrawal between
surfing trips.
Texas A&M had a surf club a few
years ago, but it disbanded before
Francis and Long got a chance to
join. Several original members have
joined the new club, Francis said.
Francis said with 39,000 students
at A&M, there were bound to be a
few who liked to surf. The club has
about 60 members, which include
both men and women.
The club organizes surf trips to
the beach, watches surfer movies
and organizes a team to compete in
surfing competitions.
The National Scholastic Surfing
Association has monthly competi
tions every year, Long said. Several
of the club’s members have com
peted before, she said.
“I think this year’s team will be
pretty good,” she said. “We can
probably get to the nationals.”
The club will sell T-shirts to help
fund the trip, which would cost the
six-member team $90 in entry fees.
But the club is not only for profes
sionals. Frank Jalufka, the club’s
treasurer, said about half of the
members are beginners.
“We encourage beginners to join,”
said Jalufka, a junior accounting ma
jor. Because the group goes on fre
quent weekend trips, beginners have
a chance to learn and practice the
sport, he added.
“South Padre Island, where we’re
going spring break, is the best surf
ing, but we go all along the Texas
coastline,” he said.
In addition to trips, the group
plans to participate in the Adopt-a-
Beach coastal cleanup program this
year, Long said.
“We’re trying to improve the
‘surfer’ image,” she said.
Club member Joe Bob Merritt
says he doesn’t fit in with what he de
scribes as the “surfer stereotype.”
“Most people think all surfers are
bums or on drugs,” Merritt said.
‘People look at my good grades and
rf.”
can’t believe I surf
Jason Barlow, the team manager,
agreed that surfing doesn’t deserve
the bad rap it sometimes gets.
“Our addiction is to surfing, not
drugs,” Barlow said.
The club meets at the beginning
of each month to watch surf movies
and discuss upcoming trips and
competitions, Francis said. Anyone
can join and go on the trips, Barlow
said.
“If one of us is going to the beach
for the weekend, the rest of us just
catch a ride,” Barlow said.
Long said he thinks the group will
expand even more during the spring
semester, when the weather is
warmer.
SMU band accepts
A&M invitation to play
at game's halftime
From Staff and Wire Reports
Southern Methodist University’s
marching band will commemorate
what would have been a game be-
-tween the Mustangs and Texas
A&M this Saturday by marching at
halftime when the Aggies play Loui
siana Tech.
A&M officials invited the Mus
tang band because Louisiana Tech,
which filled the spot left vacant on
the A&M schedule after the NCAA
canceled SMU’s 1987 season, will not
bring its band to College Station.
Wally Groff, A&M’s associate ath
letic director for finance, came up
with the idea of inviting the SMU
band to play.
“The idea just popped into my
mind,” he said.
“I knew they didn’t have a place to
play,” he said. “I thought it was
sportsmanlike of us.”
“But the only way it would work
was if the (Aggie) band agreed.”
Groff discussed the idea with ath
letic department and administration
officials and Lt. Col. Joe Haney, di
rector of the Aggie band.
Haney called to extend the invita
tion, which the Mustang band was
happy to accept, Groff said.
“I haven’t talked to anybody who
didn’t think it was a good idea,” Ha
ney said. “It looks like to me it’s
going to be a fantastic thing.”
SMU bank spokesman Louis
Dorfman said, “We ran it past our
guys and school officials, and every
time we asked somebody we never
even got finished with the question.
They told us to do it before we even
got the question out.”

football squad — levied because of
recruiting violations that killed the
1987-88 seasons, have limited the
band’s performances to home soccer
games and high school football
games. However, most of the people
who were confronted with the idea
felt that the band should not suffer
the same consequences that the SMU
football team had to suffer because
of the violations implemented ear
lier this year.
“We’re real excited about it,”
Dorfman said of the College Station
appearance. “It’s going to be a lot of
fun. A&M’s the first school to invite
us, and I put them way up for it. It’s
a good show, good sportsmanship.”
Soccer matches and high senool
games can’t compare with halftime
at a college football game in front of
a big crowd, a band member says.
“We like playing for a big college
football audience,” said Mustang
band member David Pearson, a
sophomore trumpet player from
Houston. “It’s what this band is de
signed for.”
Although the Mustang band will
get its chance to play at a college
football game, it will have to cut its
music a little short, Groff said. The
Aggies will play an extra minute as
home-game privilege.
The last time the SMU band per
formed with the Aggies on the foot
ball field, they caused the Mustangs
to be penalized 15 yards because the
band played too loudly while the Ag
gies had the ball during the A&M-
SMU game last season at Texas Sta
dium.

commonly applied to ba
AUSTIN (AP) — Bat advocate
Merlin Tuttle sees Halloween as an
educational opportunity.
“It gives me a perfect opportunity
to talk about bats, and we’re grateful
for any opportunity to address the
misconceptions that people have
about them,” Tuttle, founder of Bat
Conservation International, said.
Most bats don’t have rabies, nor
do they fly into hair or suck blood,
Tuttle said.
“You wouldn’t believe the para
noia people have about bats,” he
said. “But I would say that 80 per
cent of the people who start out be
ing afraid of bats find them to be fas
cinating creatures they’re happy to
welcome into the neighborhood
once they have received proper in
formation.”
Bats control night insects such as
mosquitoes and cutworm moths,
Tuttle said, and some feed on spoil
ing fruit. Others, such as the Central
Texas pallid bat, eat scorpions and
centipedes.
“There are about three-fourths-
million Mexican free-tailed bats liv
ing under the Congress Avenue
bridge” in downtown Austin, he
said. “That colony of bats eats about
5,000 pounds of insects a night.”
The pollination activities
also are of vital importance-
forests and, ultimately, i
ecology, he said Monday
