Howdy Weekend allows high school students to experience Aggie life □ More than 100 teens came to A&M last Thursday to sit in on lectures and sleep in residence hall rooms. By Kendra S. Rasmussen The Bati align High school students from around the state were on the Texas A&M campus Thursday through Saturday for Howdy Weekend, a recruitment effort sponsored by the Student Govern ment High School Public Relations and Recruitment Committee. Pam Clark, HSPR2 co-chair and a senior biomedical science major, said high school sopho mores, juniors and seniors stayed in residence hall rooms and attended lectures to get a taste of college life. “It is important for them to see the difference between high school and college, to see the en tire picture of what it is going to be like,” Clark said. She said the program targets sophomores and juniors, not just seniors, so that younger stu dents will realize the grades they are earning will affect their chances for admittance to A&M. This was the second year HSPR2 has held Howdy Week end, and 140 high school students attended. Last year, 28 students attended the pilot program. Cindy Schiffer, Howdy Weekend co-chair and a junior agricultural development major, said most ma jor cities in Texas were represented at the conference, as well as small er towns like Conroe, Leakey, Tem ple and Waco. Two students trav eled from Dequeen, Ark. Activities, such as mixers and a luncheon, were scheduled to entertain and inform the high school students. Chris Torn, a junior yell leader, Jeff King, a sophomore member of the Corps of Cadets Company E-2, and Reveille at tended Thursday’s mixer to lead the students in a yell practice. Friday, students attended a luncheon with Dr. J. Malon Southerland, vice president for student affairs, who spoke about Aggie spirit. Students were also given the opportunity to attend a class of their choice. Jessica Salinas, a sophomore from San Juan who sat in on a sociology lecture, said she was impressed with the way the pro fessor conducted his class. “The professor was really good with his students and even made a point to say that he was trying to connect the studies with their life outside of class,” she said. Salinas said it did not bother her that the class was large. “I learned that as long as you pay attention, the people around you shouldn’t distract you much,” she said. The students stayed in resi dence hall rooms with volunteer hosts from HSPR2, Aggie Lead ers of Tomorrow, Fish Aides, the Aggie Fish Club, the Residence Hall Association and other cam pus organizations. Salinas said she was surprised by the size of the residence halls. “The rooms are really small, but I suppose that’s college life and you adapt to it,” she said. Participants said Howdy Weekend was a valuable experi ence that will help them make de cisions about college in the future. Annie Easley, a junior at West Brook High School in Beaumont, said she appreciated her Howdy Weekend experience. “I’ve always wanted to go to A&M, and this was my chance to see what it was really like and to see how actual students perceive the campus,” Easley said. Salinas said she also gained in sight about A&M this weekend. “We know more about how things are going on,” she said. “Knowing the traditions at the school makes you feel like you are a part of it. “We got an idea of how classes run. We have an idea of how we are going to apply to get into here." Salinas said though she will continue to look into other schools, she thinks she will attend A&M. “For other schools to have to live up to this is going to be real ly hard,” she said.
