Page 10 • The Battalion Thursday • November 30,1955 Walk Continued from Page 1 “What inspires me about [Elephant Walk] is that I have seen this campus transform over the last 20 years, but I have seen the spirit, the character and integrity stay the same.” Hinton said he wants to reflect on 20 or 30 years ahead, not just the three and a half years the seniors have been at A&M. “I want to encourage the seniors to be opti mistic,” he said. “As dramatically as life Bosnia Continued from Page 1 changed when they came to A&M, life will change just so when they leave A&M.” Dyanna Wilson, Class of ’96 Elephant Walk chair and a senior political science major, said Hinton was chosen to speak because of his in volvement with the University and his experi ence as a motivational speaker. The walk will be special for Hinton, but Wilson said the experience is essentially for the seniors. “Elephant walk is a time of reflection,” she said. T will be looking back at all the great times I’ve had at A&M, as well as all the friends I’ve made. “I will reflect on my personal success, too. Elephant Walk will [encompass] all of thes t things in one day in a joint effort on campus,* Kelly Horinek, a senior marketing major, said she is excited to participate in Elephant Walk and thinks the event will be more festive than solemr Horinek said Elephant Walk gives her an opportij. nity to spend time with her classmates one last time as part of the Twelfth Man. “Elephant Walk is a sense of pride about all I’ve achieved at Texas A&M,” she said. 1 ; think I will miss the energy and enthusiasm my fellow classmates and I shared as w e cheered our teams and University to victoria all our endeavors.” Reaction Continued from Page 1 there; the U.S. has a responsi bility to itself before it has a responsibility to other coun tries,” McReynolds said. “Eu rope has put the weight on us. They expect us to be the police force for the world when they could take it over.” Tyson Voelkel, Corps com mander and a senior indus trial distribution major, said America should concentrate on its own problems before becoming involved in those of other countries. “I don’t have all the infor mation; but as an American, I would focus my attention on problems here first, although we do have a duty to support our president,” Voelkel said. Many were concerned about Ainerican involvement and the dangers it will entail. “Politically, I think Clinton is in a lose-lose situation,” Robinson said. “It’s very risky what he is doing, and even if it does work out and peace is brought to the area, there is going to be resentment from many Americans.” Andre Mitran, member of the Air Force ROTC and a ju nior political science major, said America’s involvement must fo cus on aiding the people of for mer Yugoslavia. Tm kind of worried because it is a long chain of hate,” Mi tran said. “We don’t really see the atrocities on both sides, and we could easily become part of the chain; we need to be very careful. “Obviously if the chief says go, we go. But we have to be very committed to be ing defensive and just taking care of the people.” Voelkel emphasized that troops should be sent only be cause of ethical obligations. “I do not believe American lives are worth any amount of money or political power,” he said. “If Americans are sent to intervene, then let it be for moral reasons.” That’s why we’re down here,” said Brown, chief of staff for the 1st Armored Division. Brown and nine other officers from the division flew from Ger many to the Croatian city of Split. They arrived in the northern city of Tuzla in four white armored personnel carriers driven by Nor wegian U.N. peacekeepers, Shortly afterward, the team made its first foray into the smog- shrouded hills around the U.N. airbase at Tuzla. “We’re just taking a look around,” Brown, in a helmet and camouflage fatigues, said curtly during a stop in bumed-out Kale- sija. The town, about 10 miles east of Tuzla, was on the front lines through much of the war and has been empty since May 1992. The pickup crunched over shell holes and rubble, a ragged blue U.N. flag fluttering from its an tenna. On the rear window was a small sticker of a U.S. flag. AP reporters who followed the truck saw turn down one road and stop within sight of former rebel Serb positions, now in government hands. The truck stopped cau tiously and turned around to avoid possible mines. Inside the cab, officers directed the driver using a topographical map and a hand-held Global Posi tioning System device, which pin points locations using satellites. Just east of the Tuzla airbase, the team hesitated, then plunged into an enormous field once used for small civilian aircraft. Now it’s a sea of soggy grass and an kle-deep mud. Spewing pale muck behind, the truck plowed through as the offi. cers took in the landscape that conceivably could become the Army’s staging ground, home to makeshift barracks or a baseball field — or nothing at all. Minutes later, outside an aban doned warehouse, Brown only smiled when peppered with ques tions about' the use for the field. Finally he answered obliquely; “There are all kinds of options." As the officers ventured into the crumbling building, they had one of their first encounters with the locals: a half-dozen Muslim boys with curious, wary smiles.
