Shelley Clarldge is a 16-year-old Aggie working on three degrees.
Tut Battauon
hen most students were
16 they had just received
their urivers' licenses and
were juniors in high school, but
Texas A&M student Shelley Clar-
idge is tackling three majors, and
she doesn't even have her driver's
license yet.
Claridge is working towards
degrees in math, genetics and
Russian.
"The three majors part doesn't
seem strange to me, otherwise Td
be bored/' said Claridge, a 16-
year-old from College Station.
"But the license part 1 hope is go
ing to be fixed soon. My mom
says she is going to put me in dri-
vers-ed over Christmas."
A National Merit and Presi
dent's Endowed Scholar, Claridge
is one of 10 students in this year's
freshman class that is 16 years old
or younger.
She entered the first grade after
only three weeks in kindergarten,
and attended second grade for a
short time before being placed in
third grade.
Claridge spent one year at A&M
Consolidated High School in
which she completed two years
worth of high school studies. She
finished her high school education
at The Texas Academy of Math
and Science (TAMS) in Denton.
TAMS is a college preparatory
school that offers advanced students
the opportunity to live and attend
classes on the campus of the Univer
sity of North Texas. While at TAMS,
students concurrently complete
high school and college work.
Claridge entered TAMS at the
age of 13 and in the two years she
was there, she completed 78 hours
of college course work.
Claridge first applied to A&M
in the eighth grade, when she was
12, but she was turned down. Even
though she scored 1270 and 1370
on the Scholastic Aptitude Test, the
University told her she needed
some high school experience be
fore she would be admitted.
When Claridge applied to
A&M this past year, not only did
she have high school experience
and college credit, she also had
retaken the SAT and scored a
1520.
Now taking 17 hours, Claridge
is the youngest student in most of
her classes.
However, Claridge said she
doesn't feel pressured or awkward
being around people who are two
to six years older than she is.

Mother wins scholarship for son, day with R.C. Slocum
By Cheryl Heller
Slocum
The Battalion
A Mexia woman, who won a raffle
sponsored by Texas A&M's Delta Zeta
sorority, spent an afternoon with Texas
A&M head football coach R.C. Slocum
Wednesday.
Linda Archibald, who had the win
ning ticket in the raffle held last week,
also received a $500 Texas A&M schol
arship from the sorority, which will be
used by her son David, who currently
attends Blinn College in College Station.
Archibald said she was very sur
prised when she learned that she won
ihe raffle.
"It's a real change of pace," she said.
"It's very exciting to have a chance to
watch the Aggies and their coach at
work, and I'm really glad I won the
scholarship for David."
Archibald and her son met Slocum at
the training field and accompanied him
on a tour of the football stadium and to
a closed workout of the Texas A&M
football team.
Delta Zeta raised $2,000 in the raffle.
The money goes toward the sorority's
charity, the Gaulludet School of the
Hearing Impaired.
Delta Zeta Ways and Means Chairper
son Christina Robinson said she came up
with the idea for a raffle because she was
trying to think of an event that would get
Greeks involved with A&M.
"I thought that with the raffle, not only
would we do something for the students
as far as the scholarship, but also some
thing for our philanthropy as well," she
said. "It was the best for both worlds."
Students who have had at least
four semesters of college level
French can participate in
TAMU's reciprocal exchange
program with the University
of Lausanne in Switzerland.
Applicants must have at least a
3.0 GPA overall.
