Former student returns as
role model for A&M cadets
By Stacey Fehlis
The Battalion
As leader and role model to the
Corps of Cadets, Maj. Gen.
Thomas Darling, commandant of
the Corps, said his experiences
helped shape the rest of his life.
“When I came to Texas A&M,
people had to stand in lines to do
anything,” he said. “In one line
they asked me ‘Army or Air
Force ROTC?.’ I chose Air Force
and that split-second decision
made in that line shaped the
rest of my life.”
He said although he went to
school to pursue a career in teach
ing, he always knew he would
serve in the military.
“I found the Air Force excit
ing and challenging and decided
to remain doing what I enjoyed,”
he said.
Darling graduated from A&M
in 1954 with a bachelor’s degree
in agricultural education.
While at A&M, he was named
a distinguished graduate of the
Air Force Reserve Officer Train
ing Corps program and commis
sioned as a second lieutenant.
Darling earned a master’s de
gree in public administration
from George Washington Univer
sity in Washington, D.C.
He also graduated from the Air
Command and Staff College at
Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama
in 1964; the Naval War College in
Newport, Rhode Island in 1971;
and the University of Pittsburgh’s
Management FVogram for Execu
tives in 1977.
Darling has more than 7,000
flying hours, including more than
500 combat hours in B-52s. He
has also received military decora
tions and awards.
Darling assumed the position
of Commandant and head of
military sciences at Texas A&M
in 1987.
“After finishing 33 years of ac
tive duty, I never expected to
come back to A&M,” he said. “But
when the opportunity arose, I
took it and have never regretted
my decision.
“Most of the time I wear the
commandant hat and am respon
sible for the organization and ad
ministration of the Corps,” he
said. “This includes special units
such as the Aggie Band and Ross
Volunteers.”
Darling said his priority for the
Corps is academic excellence.
“It is mandatory that the Corps
is academically successful,” he
said. ‘We have set new academic
records every semester and we
hope to continue.”
Laura Arth, academic coordi
nator for the Corps, said Darling
has phenomenal leadership skills.
“General Darling is dedicated
to the academics and character
building skills of the cadets,”
she said
Cadet Ryan Shopp, 1994-’95
Corps leadership training officer
and member of Corps staff, said
Darling’s leadership has brought
the Corps to a new level of acade
mic success.
“Through his leadership and
dedication over the years, he has
helped construct a strong founda
tion for top quality academics,
which will lead the Corps into the
years ahead,” Shopp said.
Bart Mitchell/THE Battalion
Commandant of the Corps of Cadets, Maj. Gen. Thomas Darling
Under his leadership, the
Corps has undergone an intensi
fied recruiting program.
Darling said the Corps dropped
to 1,800 students two years ago.
However, the solid recruiting pro
gram and the availability of nu
merous scholarships have result
ed in a strong rebound.
“Last year we had a 31 percent
increase of incoming freshman,”
he said. “And this year, during
the freshman summer confer
ences, we are running over 20
percent ahead of last year at the
same time.”
“Our goal for the fall is for over
2,000 students,” Darling said.
“We have had greater success in
recruiting than we ever expected.”
Maj. Becky Ray, special assis
tant to Darling, said he always
has the best interest of the cadets
in mind.
“General Darling puts his
whole heart in his job,” she said.
“He is fair with the cadets and is
the typ e to give second chances.”

long-term effects will be.
“This is the first time
that a comet has hit an
other body in the solar
system that we’ve been
able to study,” he said.
“At least nobody was
able to study the impact
with a telescope and so
phisticated equipment.”
Luther said the Hubble
Space telescope will see
something, but not much.
“Big scopes, two meters
and above, will be able to
pick something up, but
again that depends on the
composition,” he said.
“If the fragments are
big and rocky, then the
Hubble will see some great
fireworks. It is really de
pendent of the comet’s
composition on what we
might see,” he said.
Luther said for those
who are interested in try
ing to catch a peek,
Jupiter will appear to be a
hands’ width away from
the moon from 10 p.m.
through 1:30 a.m. and will
appear pearly white.
CNN will cover the
event live Saturday night,
at 9 p.m., through the
Hubble Space telescope.
The Texas A&M Obser
vatory will be open Friday
to let people see what
Jupiter looks like before
the impact.
Center
Continued from Page 1
this University. We have to have a
10,000 seat house before many acts
will even consider coming here.
“This will fulfill needs in many ar
eas, cultural and athletic,” he said.
“Plus, joining the Big Eight Confer
ence will bring many teams who
have large followings who will be ac
commodated.”
Dr. Ray Bowen, A&M president,
said the increased seating for gradu
ation will be a bonus.
“One of its big uses will be for
commencement,” Bowen said. “Stu
dents will be able to bring a lot of
their family.”
Peel said A&M is behind other
major universities in the construc
tion of similar centers.
“We are probably the only major
university that does not have a cen
ter like this,” he said. “I think we’re
going to have one they will all envy.”
If approved by the coordinating
board, the proposal will go to the
A&M System Board of Regents next
week for appropriation of funds for
the project.
At its May meeting, the regents
approved the plans, which have been
presented to the cqprdinating board.
Mary Nan West, chairman of the
Board of Regents, said she believes
the center will be a good addition to
Texas A&M.
“If the students want it, I’m all for
it,” she said. “I think it should be
built in such a fashion that it can ac
commodate graduations, rodeos or
any kind of special events.”
If approved by the Board, the cen
ter will be located on the corner of
Olsen Drive and Joe Routt Boulevard
opposite the Recreational Sports
Building now under construction.
Construction on the center will be
gin in spring 1995 and is scheduled
to be open for May 1997 commence
ment exercises.
