Matt Segrest is the former Corps
commander.
Two former leaders of Texas
A&M’s Corps of Cadets joined
the few and the proud when
they won top honors at the U.S.
Marines Officer Candidate
School this summer.
Brad Tippett, a senior politi
cal science major and former pla
toon commander of Squadron 2,
clenched the Commandant’s Tro
phy for the second time in two
years after graduating at the top
of the Platoon Leaders Class Se
nior Course first increment, held
June 4 through July 14 in Quan-
tico, Va.
Tippett, who first won the tro
phy in 1994, is the eighth person
to win the trophy twice.
.Candidates at CCS compete
in academics, physical training
and leadership for the Comman
dant’s Trophy.
Matt Segrest, a senior manage
ment major and former Corps
commander, won four of the six
awards given at the Marines
Corps Platoon Leaders Class
Combined Course, held June 11
through Aug. 18.
Segrest received the Comman
dant’s Trophy for graduating first
overall and the Phil J. Yeckel
Award for graduating first among
college seniors.
He received the Marines Corps
Association Leadership Award for
outstanding leadership and the
Iron Man Award for achieving the
highest physical training scores.
Both Segrest and Tippett said
part of the credit for their suc
cess goes to the training they re
ceived as members of A&M’s
Corps of Cadets.
Tippett said the Corps provid
ed him the flexibility to experi
ment with leadership styles.
“The Corps allowed me to
learn from some of the mis
takes I made, without the ad
verse effects that would have
come if I had made those mis
takes at CCS,” he said.
Segrest said his experience as
Corps commander prepared him
for the challenges of CCS.
“I never really felt over
matched, but just because of my
experience at A&M,” he said.
Although Segrest and Tip
pett achieved comparable
awards, their approaches to
CCS were different.
Tippett said his desire to win
the ultimate prize, the Comman
dant’s Trophy, pushed him while
at the school.
“I went up there both times
with that being my goal, to win
the Commandant’s Trophy,” he
said.

Austin hosts presidential forum
□ The University of
Texas has raised enough
money to invite the
presidential candidates
to a televised forum in
January.
AUSTIN (AP) — The Universi
ty of Texas will be the setting for
a televised, four-day forum in
January at which 1996 presiden
tial candidates are being invited
to face questions from a random
sample of voters.
UT history professor Jim
Fishkin announced Wednesday
that money had been raised
and television time committed
for the National Issues Conven
tion Jan. 18-21.
“This is not another candidate
forum or a poll or a television pro
gram,” Fishkin said. “It is an un
usual, unprecedented event.”
While President Clinton and
all the announced Republican
presidential candidates have been
invited, none has committed to at
tending yet, Fishkin said.
“We have had discussions with
Clinton’s staff and with the staffs
of the Republican candidates. We
are confident this will be an offer
they can’t refuse,” said Charles
Walker, a Washington political
consultant and adjunct professor
at the University of Texas who is
senior adviser to the project.
Candidates will be questioned
one at a time by a random sample
of 600 national voters so the in
terviews do not descend into bick
ering or shouting matches,
Fishkin said.
The issues to be discussed will
be the economy, the state of the
American family and the U.S. role
in the post-Cold War world, said
Fishkin, who announced the
event in Washington.
“We are going to have a
broad playing field on which we
can get thoughtful dialogue,”
Fishkin said.
The National Issues Conven
tion will test a concept used by
Fishkin known as deliberative
polling. Under the method, the
randomly selected voters will be
polled on a selected issue.
The voters will then be given
briefing papers on the issue,
screened in advance for balance
by scholars, and will be allowed to
debate. Afterwards, they will be
polled again to see if they have
changed their attitudes or views
on the subject.
|ury selection began Wedog
in the trial of former Texas AM!
dent Ron Scott Shamburw
charges of capital murder ana
vated kidnapping.
The general questioning of p
jurors will continue through the
this week and possibly into next.
Individual questioning will folloi
the trial will begin soon after the
selected.
The jury selection and trial aiek
held in the 361st District Court of
Carolyn Ruffino at the Brazos Ca
Courthouse in Bryan.
Shamburger confessed to them, 1
of Lori Ann Baker, an A&M junic
counting major from Kingwood, ini
tember 1994.
The University Police Depart:
reported that Shamburger was
glarizing Baker's home on Bi
Woods Drive. UPD reported Sh
burger also abducted Victoria Kof
Baker's roommate, and put her in
trunk of her car. Shamburger di!
the car to a nearby street corner
