Perhaps there should be. Looking past the three con secutive let downs that have dropped A&M from the Southwest Con ference championship race, A&M's program has dramati cally turned around since A&M head basketball coach Tony Barone's 6-22 inaugural season in 1991-92. The team is 17-9, although it's uncertain which direction A&M is going. But we do know where they have been. The pain that is learning has burned the basketball team during Barone's tenure in Ag- gieland, as he has rebuilt from the ashes that were handed to him. Barone entered the A&M program only to find himself beset by pressure and obstacles that would test any coach's ability and dedication. And, perhaps, sanity. Barone stepped in to be rudely greeted by two years' worth of NCAA sanctions which were generously left See Barone/ Page 8 A&M women's tennis strives for recognition By Stewart Doreen T 1 : I ' 5 RogerHsieh/THE B.\ ttauon Nancy Dingwall serves dur ing the Lady Aggies match against SMU Mustangs. The Battalion Ihe Texas A&M women's termis team expects to rise to the top of the conference despite an early season injury and the youth of the team. "We're one of the favorites in the conference along with Texas," said Head Coach Bobby Klei- necke. "As long as we keep working and keep improving good things are in the future for us." The Aggies, who are 6-2 in the spring season, will look to senior Janine Burton-Durham to take the reigns as the No.l player for the second straight year. Despite being the only senior in the starting line-up, the team's abilities doesn't re quire much leadership on her part. "The team has shown character and leadership on their own," said Burton-Durham. "I just try to guide them as much as I can." Kleinecke also said the team is young, but they are not showing it in matches. "This team has a lot of chemistry and they are never giving up," Kleinecke said. "They finish off the matches well which is a sign of maturity." Three sophomores, one junior and a freshman will join Burton-Durham in the singles line-up. Freshman Nancy Dingwall is living up to the high expectations that followed her from Houston Stratford High School where she was a three-time All-American. Dingwall has a 7-1 record this spring and has taken the team's No. 2 positon. ;7 c Roger Hsieh/THE Battalion Head coach Bobby Kleinecke talks with Wilson Pate between sets on her singles tennis match. Sophomores Wilson Pate and Lonna Logan will fill the No. 3 and 4 spots in the Aggie line up. Pate, who is 3-2 at this spring at 3 spot, should make a big impact with her solid net play. Logan, an overpowering player with a wide array of shots, is 6-2 this season. Junior Christine DiNardo, the Southwest Con ference champion at the No. 5 spot, is back from an early season injury and should give stability to See Tennis/ Page 8 A&M coach marches to UCLA Bruins From staff and wire reports Mike Sherman became the sev enth Texas A&M football coach to resign from the Aggies squad, leaving to assume the offensive line job at the University of Cali fornia - Los Angeles.
