Seniors, juniors consider Elephant
Walk OF Army Style a clean success
'yHE gATTALION

By Amy Lee
The Battalion
Seniors got the Ol’ Army
Style Elephant Walk they
wanted last week without the
mess of past years.
Brett Williams, Class of ’95
treasurer, said Elephant Walk
was like it should be.
“Elephant Walk went back
to the way it was supposed to
be, a solemn event for the se
niors,” Williams said.
Christy Mulkey, Class of ’95
fundraising chairman, said the
tradition was similar to Ele
phant Walks of the past.
“I’m very impressed with the
class of ’96,” Mulkey said.
“They kept it clean. It was bet
ter than I thought it would be.
It definitely went back to OT
Army Style.”
Williams said he is pleased
because the underclassmen will
remember Elephant Walk as
being clean.
“The freshmen and sopho
mores won’t remember a messy
Elephant Walk,” he said. “So
all they’ll remember is a solemn
event for the seniors.”
Cody Burke, Class of ’95 pres
ident, said that he believes that
Elephant Walk Ol’ Army Style
will become a lasting tradition.
“I only see it getting better
from here,” he said. “The fresh
men will become sophomores
and the sophomores will be ju
niors, and they won’t have seen
the mess.”
The seniors started off their
walk the way it was done in the
past by following each other in
a single file line with their
hand on the shoulder of the
person in front of them.
“We started off Ol’ Army but
there were just too many peo
ple,” Mulkey said. “So people
linked arms and walked.”
There were, however, a few
small problems for the seniors.
“A few people got dirty but I
think it was seniors groding out
seniors,” Mulkey said.
“There was very little messi
ness,” Burke said. “But it was
n’t completely eliminated.
What did occur was friends at
tacking friends.”
There were some logistical
problems as well.
“It was hard getting all those
people through the Fish Pond,
and a few times the group got
split up,” Williams said. “It
was hard to tell what the peo
ple at the back were doing.”
Overall, seniors said they
were pleased with how the day
turned out.
“It was a lot of fun,” Mulkey
said. “I was really excited
that no one got groded out. It
was nice to walk with out the
fear of being attacked by the
juniors. It really made our
hard work pay off.”
Williams said that he believes
Elephant Walk was a success be
cause of the positive publicity
that surrounded the event.
“I think all the PR for OT
Army Style that surrounded the
event helped,” he said. “I think
the design of the T-shirt, and the
talk between the class that it
wasn’t a grode match helped. I
think that the junior class activi
ties may have deferred people
who would’ve graded out the se
niors. But I think that all the
PR really helped.”
Burke said that many people
have given him compliments on
how well the event went.
“People are excited that our
class made a difference,” he said.

he asked.
Kibler said the task force
needs to get endorsement from
the administration before doing
the survey.
“A lot of campuses have done
things like this and they end up
being very effective wake-up
calls,” he said.
Kibler said the surveys can be
mailed but probably will not get a
very good response rate.
“Easiest access is through
classes,” he said. “Going through
classrooms is the way to get a
high return.”
Kibler said in order to conduct
a survey in classrooms, the Acad
emic Programs Council and the
Academic Operations Council
must be notified.
“You don’t want to get stone-
"You don't want to get stonewalled at some
point. That could happen if you ask a professor
to allow students in his classroom to complete
the survey and he has no idea what is going on,
and neither does anyone else."

Kibler showed the task force a
short film made by a professor
from Duke who teaches engineer
ing and ethics. The film shows
several different examples of aca
demic dishonesty.
“It’s designed to open the door
to discussions,” he said, “ranging
in issues from cultural differences
years ago when a student wrote a
paper for one class, turned it in,
and then turned the exact same
paper in for another class the
next semester. The second pro
fessor to receive the paper felt the
student had committed an act of
academic, dishonesty.
“We don’t have a policy at
A&M addressing this issue,” Ki
