When it comes to guidance and
companionship, Mickens only has
to glance to the other side of the
field to see teammate and fellow
cornerback Aaron Glenn. For ,
Mickens, Glenn is a teacher as ‘
well as a friend.— —»
"I look at him for help and to
lead me because he's been there
before," Mickens said. "I look to
him to help me in bad situations,
but on the field, of course, we def
initely have a competition among
ourselves."
The tandem of Glenn and
Mickens has been talked about as
being one of the premier corner-
back combinations in the confer
ence , but Mickens is keeping a
level head and admits he's still
got a long way to go.
"I've got to work more on my
technique and I've got to focus in
on it more," Mickens said. "I just
want to have a solid season and
I'd like to try and perfect my style
and make necessary corrections. I
want to play my best all the time,
but I've still got a lot to work on."
During the next three seasons,
Mickens hopes to add his own fla
vor to the A&M defense, but his
ultimate goal is to emulate those
who have come before him.
"I want to contribute my own
style to the defense," Mickens
said, "But obviously I want to

WORK SMARTER.

Th
NOT HARDER.
E ngineering student?
Smart.
Math or science
major? Also smart.
On tests, you probably run
equations over again to make
sure they’re right. So you’re
working harder.
You don’t have to do that
anymore. Not when you use
the Tl-68 Advanced Scientific
or Tl-85 Graphics Calculator,
with their last equation replay
feature — and many other
smart functions.
We’ve spent years with
students like you
and educators like your profes
sors to develop the TI-68 and
the TI-85. That’s why they’re
so highly recommended.
For engineering students, the
TI-68 solves up to five simul
taneous equations, has complex
number functions and offers
formula programming.
The TI-85 builds on the
power of the TI-68 by adding a
wide range of graphing capabil
ities. Math students can handle
calculus problems more easily.
And technical students can see
the functions for a better
understanding of problems.
The TI-85 also handles
complex numbers. Matrices.
Vectors. Lists. Strings. Plus, it
offers a powerful one-equation
SOLVER.
Try a TI-68 or TI-85 at
your local TI retailer today.
And start working smarter.
Instead of harder.
