Campus Friday, Octo Page 2 The Battalion Friday, October29,1< A&M award Haunted house to profit animal sheltei By Andrea Taormina The Battalion The Brazos Animal Shelter is holding its annual Halloween Pet Jaunt and Jamboree this weekend at Messina Hof Winery to raise money to cover operation costs for the year. One of the shelter's biggest fundraisers, the event will be held Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and includes a pet walk and carnival. To collect pledges, pet owners will bring their pets and walk them around a one, two of three mile course, said Mary Haislet, a teacher at the animal shelter. Haislet said the pet walk has been successful in the past, but this year they also wanted to try some thing different. "We wanted to make it a family event, and we chose a carnival theme because there are not that many carnival opportunities," she said. Carnival events will include a dunking booth featuring Texas A&M University running back Rodney Thomas, KBTX weather man Bob French, KORA disc jockey Jason Hightower and Associate Dean of the Vet School Dr. William Banks. Brazos Valley Kennel Club members will also administer "ca nine good citizen tests." If a dog passes the 10 part test, he will be al lowed into schools and nursing homes to interact with people as a 'therapy dog,' animals that provide emotional therapy, comfort and companionship. Other events include a petting zoo, a cake walk, hayrides and oth er carnival booths. Liz Durnin, a member of Omega Tau Sigma, a veterinary fraternity responsible for the animals at the petting zoo, said they always help the animal shelter with its fund raiser. Durnin said they aretheips power behind it, and willallsel in this year's pet show, whidu have prizes donated by lam!? food. Categories for the pet shorn elude best pet costume, cuteslc mal, and best pet trick. Haislet said people planning to attend shouldh; their animals on leashes, must have their current count}t and, because they are susceptfe] disease, no puppies or kittens: der four months old willbesj lowed, she said.

Battalion Texas A&M University stu dents have more than one option when it comes to registration and enrollment. Blinn College offers an oppor tunity for students to pick up ad ditional hours while also attend ing classes at Texas A&M. Barbara Pearson, associate vice-president of Blinn College, said the co-enrollment program gives the two schools a chance to complement each other. "We have a very good work ing relationship that we've been working towards for many years," Pearson said. Jim VanBeek, a spokesperson for Blinn, said approximately 1,108 Texas A&M students are co-enrolled at Blinn this semes ter. Jamie Dodson, a senior ele mentary education major who is co-enrolled at Blinn, said it of fers a nice break. "I decided to co-enroll be cause I knew that T wouldn't be able to take that heavy load at A&M," Dodson said. "It defi nitely lightens the load." Dodson said the smaller class es, personal attention, and added convenience at Blinn have been very beneficial to her. "It has given me two different aspects on education — 20 peo- ple in a class sharing ideas ver sus the bigger classes at A&M," she said. Dr. James Calarco, director of institutional research and effec tiveness at Blinn, said the two schools have a good cooperative relationship. Calarco said the lack of class es at A&M, the smaller class size at Blinn, and the time factor all contribute to the need for stu dents to co-enroll between the two schools. Pearson said the number of closed sections at A&M plays a big role in the co-enrollment program. "It is less complicated for us to create additional sections on the spot," Pearson said. "So much of it has become a budget issue." Students who decide to co-en roll have to go through their col lege at Texas A&M. "The student must have a let ter from the department at A&M giving permission for co-enroll ment, said Pearson. "This is for the student's protection down the road." Blinn also benefits from the relationship between the two schools during the summer when they are given the oppor tunity to rent out space on the A&M campus to teach summer school courses. Pearson said this is very help ful to Blinn because the demand for their courses in the summer is greater. "We work with the adminis tration at A&M very closely," Pearson said. "They have been very supportive and have gone to bat for us. We have a very positive relationship that we do want to continue to maintain." Traditions Continued from Page 1 I learne said although AWj Galveston has a separateu» pus, they share manyofli same traditions. "We have a Muster every w as well as a Silver Taps ceres ny," 1 learne said. j "We even began electing}! leaders a year and a half ago! lead us at Mildnight Yellpn tices before the games." Similarly, Texas A&MIJ: versity at Galveston isoneoffi five state operated maritiraee ucational institutions. Hearne said students prep: ing for federal licensing asm- chant marine officers function: "sort of a corps of cadets.” Hearne said he hoped their would boost relations betw the two campuses and beneficial to both. "Students at Galvestonti themselves 'Sea A; Hearne said. "The students herefeelv much a part of A&M and add to the enrichment and dh sity to a great institution."
