NCAA
Continued from Page 1
A&M has approximately
470 student-athletes and 45
coaches, with 45 people on
.coaching staffs. The compli
ance office monitors athletes
[throughout their A&M careers,
•and Compliance Education Co
ordinator David Batson meets
with the coaching staff and
teams regularly.
Batson said a large part of
his job is answering questions
about NCAA regulations from
A&M boosters, fans, coaches,
the general public and even
other Southwest Conference
schools.
He said he fielded about 800
calls last year asking for inter
pretations of NCAA rules.
Some questions can be an
swered by direct reference to
the NCAA manual of regula
tions, an inch-and-a-half thick
book updated annually.
“There’s certain segments of
it that I know very, very well,”
Batson said. “There’s proba
bly two-thirds of it that we
deal with on a daily basis.”
For interpretations of the
rules, Batson can call the
NCAA or access their comput
er database. The database is
available to all NCAA schools,
but many schools don’t have it.
Batson said other SWC uni
versities often call and ask him
to look up interpretations.
Investigating possible viola-
T H E BATTALION
tions is also part of the compli
ance staff s job, Ellison said.
“Sometimes it’s totally con
suming, and sometimes it’s a
minimal part,” he said.
During last year’s NCAA in
vestigation of the Texas A&M
football program, the compli
ance office put together infor
mation for the NCAA and for
A&M, Ellison said.
The NCAA and A&M were
investigating allegations that
nine student-athletes working
part-time for a former student
during the summer of 1992
received payment for work
never completed.
Due to the investigations,
A&M suspended several play
ers from the 1993 Cotton
Bowl and from early games in
the 1993 football season.
In the spring of 1994, the
NCAA officially prohibited
A&M from playing in bowl
games or on television for one
year and put the football pro
gram on probation for five
years.
Ellison said it’s hard to pre
dict where violations will occur.
“You can always set up a
way to monitor it after the
fact,” she said. “But you’re al
ways goirig to have inadver
tent violations.”
“There’s a misconception
that A&M is not committed to
compliance and that’s totally
false,” she said. “Traditional
ly the programs that have
been on probation are the
ones that understand the
need for compliance.”
Fish Camp
Continued from Page 1
“The seriousness of his injury
was not obvious at all because he
stood up and was very lucid,
speaking to people and making
decisions for himself,” he said.
Mike Knox, director of Fish
Camp, said the organization will
not be held liable for the incident.
“Campers do sign a form re
leasing Fish Camp from the re
sponsibility of accidents,” he said.
Knox said everyone at Fish
Camp was notified of the situa
tion after the ambulance left.
“Everyone was informed be
cause we didn’t want anyone to
be alarmed or have parents call
ing,” he said.
At the request of the family,
students who were at camp were
informed of his death when they
all gathered Wednesday after
noon.
Powell said people from the
University and the clergy at
Lakeview Methodist Assembly
were on hand for students who
needed someone to talk to.
The funeral was held Friday,
Aug. 19, at 4 p.m. and services
were at the First Christian
Church. Hart was buried at the
Oakwood Cemetery in Huntsville.
Kibler said several representa
tives from the University attend
ed the funeral.
“There were a bunch of stu
dents from Fish Camp at his fu
neral and numerous University
officials including Dr. Souther
land and Dr. Carolyn Adair,” he
Page 5
said.
“Everyone at Fish Camp on
Wednesday was made aware that
Chris will be honored at Silver
Taps which will give all students I
a chance to gather and honor |
him,” Kibler said.
Silver Taps is a memorial ser- |
vice held the first Tuesday of i
every month in honor of Aggies I
who have died.
Dr. J. Malon Southerland, |
Texas A&M’s vice president for
student affairs, said a critical re
view of Fish Camp policies and
procedures will be done.
“Anytime you have an instance
that is this serious we do a criti
cal review,” he said.
Kibler said Fish Camp is like
many other programs that are
evaluated every year, but there
will be closer scrutiny and vari
ous questions asked about proce
dures.
“We are looking at whether or
not we’re satisfied with every
thing that goes on,” he said.
“There will be more focus on the
recreational time.”
Kibler added that school offi
cials have always been pretty sat
isfied about the training the coun
selors receive.
“The procedures for this type
of emergency are pretty sound,”
he said.
Knox said he thinks of this as
a learning experience.
“We’ve gone over this in our
heads and we think we did every
thing we could,” he said. “There
may be more emphasis on situa
tions like this but we’re pretty
confident that we did everything
we could.”
