Dallas Cowboy cornerback
Kevin Smith, a former A&M
standout, has taken two
things to higher levels going
into his third professional sea
son - his play and his confi
dence.
“I’m a little bigger, a little
stronger, a little faster, more
comfortable and a lot more
confident,” he said last week
at the Cowboys training camp.
Smith has already estab
lished a reputation of confi
dence in the NFL.
Last year in the NFC
Championship game against
"I'm a little bigger, a little stronger,
a little faster, more comfortable
and a lot more confident."
—Kevin Smith, Dallas Cowboy
cornerback andformer A&M player
the San Francisco 49ers,
Smith almost started a
pregame brawl by taunting
Jerry Rice.
Smith seemingly has
walked his talk. He has
played two years in the NFL
and has two Super Bowl rings.
Last year he had six inter
ceptions, which led the team.
He was the NFC Defensive
Player of the Week after the
Dec. 18th game against the
New York Jets.

In that game he had seven
tackles, forced two fumbles,
recovered one and returned an
interception 32 yards for a
touchdown.
At A&M, Smith was a
three-time All-Southwest Con
ference cornerback and a con
sensus All-American in 1991.
He set a SWC record with
20 interceptions and had six
defensive or special teams
touchdowns in his four-year
career.
Even with an already-suc-
cessful career. Smith said he
is improving daily at camp.
“I am playing at a level
right now where I don’t want
to give up even a six or seven
yard out,” he said.
Smith said this is his best
training camp of his short ca
reer by far.
The Dallas Morning News
has given Smith their “train
ing camp play-of-the-day”
award twice in the week-old

camp.
Saturday night, in a scrim
mage against the Houston Oil
ers, Smith recorded an inter
ception in limited playing
time.
Smith said he is more com
fortable at this training camp
because of his experience.
Greg Schorp and Robert
Wilson, two former Aggie free
agents, are trying to earn a
spot on the team.
Smith said he told them to
do whatever it takes to make
the team.
“I told them to find a spot,
even if it is special teams,” he
said.
“On this team, there are no
slackers, and they are going to
have to work their butt off.”
Smith said he wanted to
send a special message to
A&M and Aggie fans.
“I talked to Coach Slocum
last week,” he said. “I told
him they are going to go 11-0
this year.”
He said he would not go as
far as predicting a perfect sea
son for the Cowhovs.. but. fans
should look forward to contin
ued success.
“We’ve got the most talent
in the NFL,” he said.
“Troy, Emmitt, everybody
on this team is working hard.
We want the three-peat”
Bagwell leads the majors with
98 RBIs. He has hit 32 home
runs.
Biggie’s slam, his sixth home
run of the season, made it 9-0 in
the fifth.
Darryl Kile (7-5) bounced
back from losses of 10-0 and 8-2
in his last two starts. He gave up
up five hits, only one of them in
the first six innings, in eight in

I’m a workaholic, so I’ll be putting in about 80
hours a week.”
Dr. Mark Weichold, speaker of the Faculty Sen
ate, said he thinks Thompson meets the qualifica
tions needed to serve as chancellor.
“From what I’ve heard, it seems like he’s a facul
ty-oriented administrator,” Weichold said. “The ex
perience he’s had in dealing with troublesome situa
tions is probably going to be valuable.”
Weichold said the Faculty Senate’s executive
committee put together a letter for the regents in
which the members outlined the qualifications they
thought a new chancellor should meet.
“It was encouraging to see that the person
they’ve selected did meet the qualifications we out
lined,” Weichold said. “We would have preferred
that they would have consulted us more, but I un
derstand the constraints they were dealing with.”
Thompson, who was called ‘Dr. T’ by students at
West Texas A&M, said he plans to work closely
with the faculty and students.
“I always see myself as a public servant, as an
educator,” he said. “I’m a hands-on sort of guy.”
Thompson is a former student of Texas A&M,
having earned a doctoral degree in educational ad
ministration in 1972. He earned an associate’s de
gree from Tarleton State University in 1956 and a
bachelor’s degree from Texas Tech University in
1958. Thompson received his master’s degree in
1961 from East Texas State University.

step down, then what? It’s al
most too late.”
Catala said there is opposi
tion in Haiti to a U.S. invasion
because of previous interven
tion in the 1920s.
“I don’t think we should do it
alone,” he said. “But we’ve got
to do something and do it fast.”
Conrado Merced, a senior
mechanical engineering major
from Puerto Rico, said military
force may be an option, but he’s
not sure it’s the right one.
“It depends on the military
in Haiti,” he said.
Any future action would be
to determine the lesser of two
evils, Legall said.
“Who are we to go in and in
vade another country?” he said.
“Or, should we leave it alone
and watch people starve? It’s
pretty much a no-win situa
tion.”
Catala said the majority of
Haitians support ousted presi
dent Jean-Bertrand Aristide,
but the small opposition is vio
lent.
“I think if Aristide goes back
there, he will be killed in two
weeks,” he said. “I’m afraid it
won’t be Aristide (leading a
new Haiti), we’ll have to go

Legall said he has lived in
Miami and had many opportu
nities to hear good and bad
things about Aristide from the
Haitians there.
“There are some in Miami
who didn’t like him,” he said.
“But most in Miami are chil
dren of the well-to-do.”
“I’ve also heard he leans to
ward the poor,” Legall said. “I
guess that’s good because most
Haitians are poor, and very few
are rich.”
Catala said establishing a
healthy democracy in Haiti
would involve more than just
ousting the military leaders.
“It’s hard, if not impossible,
for democracy to exist without
a middle class, and there is al
most no middle class in Haiti,”
he said. “The only thing I know
is we’ve got to help — it’s been
too long.”
Legall said people in
Trinidad, one of the countries
that has been accepting
refugees from Haiti, are con
cerned because the refugees are -
coming with nothing.
“People are skeptical,” he
said. “But people (in the
Caribbean) tend to be closer"
and look out for each other.”
Merced said Puerto Rico can
not afford to take many
refugees.
“Right now it’s too crowded,”
he said, “so it is too hard for
those people to come to Puerto
Rico.”
