Mexico in
tears over
Chavez loss
S omeone
please
call the
United Na
tions for re
lief support.
There has
been a ma
jor disaster
in Mexico-
and I don't
mean the
Indian up
rising in
Chiapas -
the Chosen
Son, Julio
Cesar
Chavez, has finally been beat
en.
It doesfi't matter by whom.
That is not the point. The
greatest boxer of all time fi
nally took one too many on
the chin. All of Mexico, as
well as some people of Mexi
can ancestry, are in mourning
today.
So, I am calling for all Ag
gies that have some sort of
Mexican blood in them to
unite in this time of crisis. Af
ter all, a Chavez loss is worse
than Tex-Mex food. Heck, to
me, the loss even ranks down
there with Tejano Night at
Third Floor Cantina.
Every other ethnic group
on campus can help me.
These are desperate times.
But I will especially need the
help of every Mexican, Quasi-
Mexican, Tejano, Coconut or
whatever you call yourself.
For this column, I will refer to
you as brothers. (Please ex
cuse the sexism.)

Lady Aggies test perfect SWC
record against Baylor Bears
By Kristine Ramirez
The Battalion
The Lady Aggies basketball
team is looking to extend their un
defeated Southwest Conference
record by stopping Baylor and the
Lady Bear's star guard Mary
Lowry tonight at 7 p.m. in G. Rol-
lie White Coliseum.
The Lady Aggies come into
tonight's game with a 13-3 record,
5-0 in the SWC. Baylor is 11-6 for
the season and 2-3 in conference.
Head coach Lynn Hickey said
the key to the game will be stop
ping Lowry and it will be "a diffi
cult match up."
Lowery, a 5-foot-8 guard, was
the 1993 Freshman of the Year and
is currently second in the confer
ence in scoring for the season (20.6
points per game) and SWC games
(27.0 ppg). She is Baylor's leader
in scoring, assists (4.0 per game)
and steal average (2.9 per game).
"She put up as twice as many
shots and free-throws as the rest
of the team," Hickey said.
Branch, a sophomore guard,
agrees with Hickey and said stop
ping Lowry would be crucial.
Hickey said the Aggies not
only have to stop Lowry, but con
tain the rest of the team at the
same time.
Baylor's junior guard Kristin
Mayberry and sophomore center
Amber Seaton would be other key
players to watch, A&M guard Lisa
Branch said.
The team will try use the same
game plan that has made them
successful throughout the season,
Hickey said. The Aggies will run
the ball, use full court pressure
and exploit the advantage of the
inside game early.

Compliance Director talks
about A&M and the NCAA
By Mark Smith
The Battalion
Texas A&M has had a tumul
tuous relationship with the Na
tional Collegiate Athletic Associa
tion. The NCAA has put A&M on
probation seven times, a dubious
mark that ties A&M with two oth
er schools for most probations.
However, A&M Director of
Athletic Compliance Tedi Za-
lesky-Ellison said A&M is com
mitted to complete compliance
with all NCAA rules. Zalesky-El-
lison made her remarks at a
Memorial Student Center Insights
Program Tuesday.
The Office of Athletic Compli
ance, which is under the office of
the Vice President for Finance and
Administration, supervises the
athletic department with regard
to NCAA rules. However, the
Compliance Office must also
monitor anyone involved with the
athletic program. This stipulation
would include any involvement
in athletics by boosters.
"One thing that a lot of people
don't realize is that a booster is
considered a part of the athletic
group," Zalesky-Ellison said.
"The athletic group is responsible
for the actions of booster. Actions
that a booster commits, Texas
A&M has to pay the price for."
Zalesky-Ellison said it is the
purpose of Athletic Compliance
to inform boosters of NCAA regu
lations and to make sure no in
fractions occur.
