The paradox of
hunting: sport
or senseless?
JULIE
CHELKOWSKI
Sportswriter
S tepping
lightly
upon the
carpet of leaves'
covering the
dark forest
floor, the huge
buck sifts
through bushes
and trees in
search for a
breakfast of
berries. His
grand set of
antlers sits like
a crown atop
his head, and
his white tail
adds a touch of
contrast to his brown body.
The buck suddenly senses danger,
but there is no time to escape. The
loud cracking of a rifle overhead
breaks the silence of the peaceful for
est, and the once mighty animal col
lapses like rag doll.
The sport of hunting is in full
swing as deer season is upon us, and
many hunters flock to the woods to
bring down the biggest and best. But
is this really a "sport?"
To the general public hunting is
considered a sport, and, according to
Webster's Dictionary, the definition
fits.
But the playing field is not level -
not when you have a gun, and the de
fenseless animal has only legs that
don't move as fast as bullets. It's like
beating up on a younger brother or
sister when you are two feet taller
and 50 pounds larger.
It might be a little different if
hunters threw down their weapons
and wrestled down their prey.
Although the hunting strategy
varies with each type of game, deer
hunting is the most guilty of this

Lady Aggies claim Round One
A&M spikers earn rematch with Texas this weekend at Austin, as
outside hitter kills George Mason's season in NCAA tourney opener
By Nick Georgandis
The Battalion
Playing in its first NCAA post
season game since the 1986 season,
the Texas A&M volleyball team ad
vanced to the second round of the
tournament by beating George Ma
son University Wednesday night at
G. Rollie White Coliseum, 15-5,15-5,
11-15,15-6.
The Aggies were led by sopho
more outside hitter Dana Santleben
who recorded a .488 hitting percent
age, while racking up a match-high
25 kills. Santleben said she thought
her performance resulted from a
combination of her own excitement
and a weakness in the Patriots' de
fense.
"They didn't have a stable block
on my side, plus I was pretty fired
up." Santleben said.
The Lady Aggies exploded out of
the gate in the first match, jumping
out to a 7-0 lead and limiting the
GMU to a .027 hitting percentage in
the first game. The drubbing con
tinued in the second game as the
Lady Aggies' hit for a .520 percent
age.
A&M faltered in the third game,
but rebounded to take the fourth
game to clinch the match.
George Mason head coach Pat
Kendrick said her team caught
A&M off-guard in the third game,
but praised A&M - especially the
offense.
"I think we surprised them that
third game," Kendrick said. "We're
a pretty good blocking team, but
this is definitely the best offensive
team we've seen all year.
"I thought Dana played a great
match. She hurt our block, and we
weren't able to contain her."
Volleyball head coach Laurie
Corbelli said she was extremely
A&M men's basketball loses off
the glass to Kansas State, 63-54
From Staff and Wire Reports
The Texas A&M basketball team was out-rebounded 18 to eight in of
fensive rebounding and 40-31 for total rebounds against Kansas State, as
the team fell, 63-54, leveling the Aggies' record at 1-1.
A&M was led by junior forward Joe Wilbert, scoring 12 points and
seniors David Edwards and Damon Johnson, each scoring 10.
Askia Jones led Kansas State, scoring 27 points and hitting four-of-
seven from three-point range.
A&M's next game is scheduled at home in G. Rollie White Monday,
Dec. 6 at 7 p.m. against Montana State.
pleased with the team's overall per
formance in the second season
where teams need to be on their
toes.
"The team executed our game
plan beautifully, " Corbelli said.
"The key to every game is always
whoever can execute that night, and
tonight it was us.
"When it comes down to this lev
el now, it comes down to how smart
you're going to play."
The win puts A&M into the sec
ond round of the NCAA tourna
ment for the first time since 1985.
No Aggie volleyball team has ever
made it past the second round of the
tournament.
The win also moved the Lady
Aggies' season record to 27-7 and
earns them another rematch against
second-ranked Texas in Austin on
Saturday night. A&M was 0-2
against the Lady Longhorns in con
ference play this season, but
Santleben said a victory in Austin is
certainly within reach.
"All we have to do (to beat
Texas) is play just the way we did
tonight, and 1 think we can beat
them."
Coach Corbelli agreed with her
player, and said she thought that
the team's familiarity with Texas
will help them in the match to make
the third time a charm.
"We've seen Texas play some
awesome matches, and we've seen
them play some awful matches, "
Corbelli said. "Every time we have
played them, we've gotten better
and better, and have had more and
more confidence. The more times
we play them, the better we get.
"If we are sharp and thinking
and hitting the ball hard, then we
can score just as many points as
they can."
