Boenig ready to work for student
By Melissa Jacobs
The Battalion
Carrie Thompson/TiiE Battalion
Student Senate.speaker, Tobin Boenig, is
ready to work hard this year for students.
The speaker of Texas A&M’s Student
Senate said the benefit of being involved in
Student Government is knowing that you
are doing something to help others out.
Tobin Boenig, a senior agriculture devel
opment major, said that idea is something
his parents instilled in him a long time ago.
“In a world where everybody is doing
things for themselves it’s nice to know you
are doing something to help others,”
Boenig said.
Dr. Malon Southerland, vice president for
student affairs, said Boenig is friendly, out
going, accurate, competent and energetic.
Brooke Leslie, student body president,
has known Boenig for seven years and said
he is someone who is dedicated and loyal.
“Most importantly, I think he is a per
son who does things for the right reasons,”
she said.
Boenig said as speaker of the Senate,
his job to keep the administration infot
of what students want.
“When the Student Senate decides
thing, I go to the administration ar
them what was decided,” he said.
Southerland said as one of the prim
student leaders, the Senate speaker is
sentative of senators and expresses ini
and concerns on a variety of issues.
“The individual’s competence, expf
and abilities are very important to
ministration and the student body,”
“I think Toby will be successful in his
tion. He was successful last year andi
why he was elected this year.”
Boenig said Student Government
students’ voice to the administration.
“We tell them exactly what stud
want,” he said. “When someone coi

Smith gives credit to fellow Aggies

The Battalion
Parsons Mounted Cavalry
member Jason Smith said he
doesn’t remember much about
the horse riding accident he was
in this summer, but he does
know it was the prayers and
support of his Corps buddies
that pulled him through the crit
ical time.
“I had so many good friends
helping me, and people all over
Texas were praying for me,”
Smith said.
“Unfortunately, I can’t re
member one thing before I left
College Station to go to
Austin,” he said. “I’ve been
hearing about all the people
who came to see me and stay
with me, but I can’t remember
them and thank them.”
Smith said he hates asking
his friends for help but knows it
was their support that helped
him survive the accident.
Smith, a senior recruiting of
ficer for Company G-2, was prac
ticing figure eights with an un
trained horse July 5 at the Cav
alry’s complex on FM 2818.
“He was a new horse,” Smith
said. “He was donated to the
Cav last semester, and I was
trying to get his lead changes
down. We had been practicing
them for three days already.”
Smith said he does not re
member much about the acci
dent but knows the horse
tripped and fell. Smith was
flung to the ground, where he
hit his head.
“I had the reins in my left
hand,” Smith said. “I figure
when he tripped I reached for
the saddle horn. My hands were
