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

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,*

thinks the event will be more festive than solemr

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 ;

all our endeavors.”

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.
