Front Staff and 'Wire Reports
Texas A&M has agreed to
move it's Oct. 10 game against the
University of Houston back to
Nov. 12 to accomodate a national
television broadcast by ESPN.
The game will be a Thursday
night telecast and will be one of
four A&M games next season seen
by a national television audience.
A&M Athletic Director John
David Crow and head football
coach R. C. Slocum said moving
the game will bring national atten
tion to A&M and to the Southwest
Conference.
"We are making a continuous
effort to increase our national ex
posure at Texas A&M, as well as
the exposure for the Southwest
Conference," Crow said. "We felt
this move would be beneficial in
that respect."
In January, A&M announced
two ABC-TV television dates. The
Aggies will open the 1992 season
against Stanford on Aug. 26 in the
Disneyland Pigskin Classic. On
Sept. 5, A&M will play LSU in Ba
ton Rouge, La., in front of a na
tional audience.
The Aggies will play the Uni
versity of Texas on Nov. 26 on
ESPN.

Look at Mike Tyson. Every
' be
that way.
Back in the 1920's, there was a
talented American tennis player
named Bill Tilden. He won
Wimbeldon and several other
major titles.
But what the public didn't
know back then was that Tilden
was gay. He was arrested and
put in jail for trying to buy the
services of a young boy.
Every medium that covered
Tilden knew what was going on.
The difference was, they didn't
see any purpose in dragging his
name through the mud.
My, how times have changed.
Today, whatever an athlete does
is held up to the public's eye.
Thanksgiving, the boxer hands
out turkeys to needy families. If
you don't believe it, all you have
to do is turn on the news. Does
the media find it that hard to be
lieve that Tyson is capable of
charitable acts?
Now, with his recent rape
conviction, it seems that every
woman that has been involved in
his life has claimed he beat or
raped them. Of course, they wait
until the cameras are rolling be
fore they start talking.
Then there is Magic Johnson.
After he tested positive for the
HIV virus, everyone talked about
how he will change the way peo
ple view AIDS. Not much has
been made of the fact that he got
the virus because he had unpro
tected sex. Is that the kind of
f xerson you want your kid to be
ike?
Maybe the media is doing the
right thing in Johnson's case. By
only focusing on the positive,
maybe people will notice how
dangerous the virus is. Maybe it
really doesn't matter how he ac-
S iired the virus as long as some-
ing is done about it.
What about Oakland outfield
er Jose Canseco? Who cares if he
got a speeding ticket or if he
might have spent some quality
time with Madonna? Is it any
one's business but his?
There is a fine line between
what is news and what is not
news. There is a fine line between
being an athlete and a human be
ing.
