UA pleased with SWC plans, might stay
GRAPEVINE (AP) — Arkansas
athletic director Frank Broyles
emerged from a Southwest Confer
ence meeting T hursday sounding as
if the Razoroacks will remain in the
league rather than accept an invita
tion to jump to the Southeastern
Conference.
“It’s not just a possibility we’ll stay.
It’s a strong possibility,” Broyles told
reporters waiting in a hallway out
side the airport hotel meeting room.
Representatives from all nine SWC
schools met for several hours Thurs
day to discuss new approaches for
the league in the 1990s.
“Other conferences are moving

toward change, to get prepared for
what might be happening in the ’90s,
and the Southwest Conference is not
going to sit still. It’s going to be mov

Arkansas but everyone who was in
the room,” Broyles said.

SWC president Dr. James Vick
called the session “a constructive,
productive meeting” in which league
schools talked seriously about ex

games from a television or fan stand

“We discussed the possibility of
expansion of the conference. Tnere
has been some interaction between
our conference and other institu

Of The Battalion Staff
College is where children become
adults. It’s where the foundations
are laid for adult life and where the
consequences of a decision can last a
lifetime.
These life-shaping times, coupled
with the rigors of being a student-
athlete, can be difficult for an 18-
year-old to deal with at times.
It’s during such times that athletes
at Texas A&M can look to former
“Aggie Heart” award winner Jeff
Paine for guidance and spiritual
growth.
Paine is acting as the chaplain for
the athletes as part of a program in
troduced last year by the Brazos Val
ley Adult Chapter of the Fellowship
of Christian Athletes.
From 1980-83, Paine played line
backer and tight end for the A&M
football team and received a degree
in industrial engineering in 1983.
After graduation, Paine was cho
sen by the Kansas City Chiefs in the
fifth round of the NFL draft.
He was a linebacker with the
Chiefs for two years and was known
for his aggressive specialty teams

seminary, the men of the Brazos
Valley Adult Chapter of the FCA
were working on developing a posi
tion where someone would have a
closer relationship with the athletes
of A&M.
Chapter president Terry Rosser
said that when he heard Paine was
coming back to the area, he knew
that’s who he wanted for the posi
tion.
“The A&M FCA huddle group is
very important to us,” Rosser said.

mt from the team during presea
son in 1986, Paine went on to play
for the Washington Redskins in
1986 and the St. Louis Cardinals the
next year.
In the off-season between 1986
and 1987, Paine began attending the
Dallas Theological Seminary to start
work on his master of arts in biblical
studies.
Upon completion of his masters
work, he began a two year internship
with Grace Bible Church, located at
701 Anderson in College Station, in
July of 1989.
“I really enjoy getting to know
people and helping them to under
stand the Lord and how important
he is to all of our lives,” Paine said. “I
took a class at a seminary in Kansas
City and the more time I spent at the
seminary in Dallas, the more I real
ized that this was my calling.”
As Paine finished his work at the

A&M and a very strong Christian,

Paine said he believes that being
approached by Rosser and Randy
Sims, the chapter’s treasurer, was no
coincidence.
“I think it was an act of God that
brought me back to A&M so I could
work with these athletes,” Paine said.
“Working with them and watching
them grow in their faith is great.
“It really goes hand in hand with
what I’m doing with the church.”
Presently, Paine is the interim col
lege pastor and said he is being con
sidered for the vacancy left when the
regular college pastor was pro
moted.
However, Paine said if he gets the
job he will continue to work with the

Nude skydivers
to drop in at
nudist resort
A’m sure you’ve all seen
those ads for nude volleyball at
Live Oaks Nudist Resort and
really wanted to investigate
further.
Well, this weekend’s your
chance. You see, it’s National
Nude Weekend and Live Oak is
celebrating in style ... sans fig
leaf.
Not only can your entire family
(and then some) run aroynd free
of all inhibitions, but they can
take part in many events that are
planned to entertain the masses.
First, visitors will get a guided
tour of the grounds of the
“premier nudist resort in the
Southwest,” according to the
brochure.
This includes a stroll past the
restaurant, club house, children’s
playground, swimming pool
(with water slide and diving
board) and, of course, the
volleyball courts.
Later, one can walk past “The
Original,” KLOL-Pettigrew
Smith’s Monster 4x4 truck,
which has appeared at the
Houston rodeo and the opening of
the George R. Brown Convention
Center.
For children, there will be a
“Moon Walk.” Remember those
big air things that you could run
around in a bounce all over the
place? I loved those, but naked?
The last event, and my
favorite, is a nude skydiving
exhibition performed by our own
