Major Credit Cards Accepted Page 6 • The Battalion Caivirus Tuesday • April 16, IK Continued from Page 1 “Carl has no sense of direction,” he said. “He doesn’t know how to get to places. He will ask how to get to Wal-Mart.” Webb, who has known Baggett since they worked together as redpots two and a half years ago, said Baggett must make several trips before he knows how to get somewhere. When Webb met Baggett for the first time, he said Baggett asked to borrow money for food; a friendship developed nonetheless. “The first time I met him we pretty much hit if off,” he said. “He never did pay me back my couple of bucks.” Will Hurd, a freshman computer science major and Baggett’s campaign manager, said he first met Baggett after a speech Baggett gave at Fish Camp. Hurd said his first impression of Baggett was that he was passionate about A&M. “It was the way he talked,” he said. “He would get real impassioned about A&M. You could see it in is eyes ... The school is part of him.” Perhaps his enthusiasm for A&M and Bon fire comes from the fact that Baggett has been attending A&M football games since he was four years old and has not missed Bonfire in 12 years. Hurd said it was a challenge to keep up with Baggett during the campaign because Baggett involves himself so heavily with A&M activities. “He was so damn busy,” he said. Hurd said he and Baggett spent a great deal of time together nonetheless. “His girlfriend and his sister called me the ball and chain,” he said. Sparks may fly between Baggett and his girlfriend of two years, but nothing can com pare to the fireworks Baggett set off as a young boy. “I was a pyromaniac,” he said. “I played with matches.” Baggett said he started a small fire in his home when he was 10 by lighting fireworks in his closet. The incident was not damaging, he said, but it scared him enough not to do it again. However, fear did not keep Baggett away from this year’s elections, despite his loss to Toby Boenig last year in the run-offs. Baggett said it may have been a risk run ning for office again, but that is the kind of thing A&M inspires. “You learn just as much losing as you do winning,” he said. “I think the biggest differ ence between a fish entering A&M and a se nior leaving is not as much the education as it is the experience they gain taking risks.” But Baggett’s confidence does not imply that academics have never been a challenge for him. He said the fear of not being able to handle college courses inspired him to join the Corps of Cadets. “I was not a scholar in high school, and I felt that having three hours of forced study every night would at least set me in the right direction,” he said. The studying benefited Baggett, who has been chosen for CBA Fellows, a leader ship program for the top one percent of business students. Baggett is in the five-year accounting pro- gram business, hut he said he will withdtji from it to meet his office s demands. “All the plans and beliefs that I ranon^ going to be implemented so that 1 dontli anyone down,” he said. Webb said several of Baggetts persoiu) ity traits will make him a good studtj] body representative. For example, he said, Baggett remeitifei the names and faces of most people he meets “It just makes people feel more comfort# like they are on the same level, andthaUei not unapproachable,” he said. Webb said Baggett’s emphasis onorp nization will also help him as studentbi] president. Baggett carries a fileinwliti he can find tons of information withtl flip of a wrist. "But his room looks like crap,” he said. Webb said one thing he notices all Baggett is he practices good personal hygietit “You will be hard pressed to find a beta smelling guy,” he said. “You would not walk up to himandsi] ‘damn that man smells good,” he said,Tn you definitely notice his lack of a foul odor, Webb said many guys in the dormlackpa sonal hygiene, hut Baggett is not one of them. “Carl does not strike you as one of tbs guys,” he said. “If you were to walk up to him rightib he would not smell bad,” he said. One of Baggett’s greatest hopes is that® pie will not treat him differently now thati is president. “I hope everyone will treat methesameg they always did,” he said. “I amstillCa Baggett — friend, Class of ’96, companion who is here to get an education just like even one else.” aTm what's up fllB Tuesday Aggie Toasters: A general meeting will be held at 8:30 p.m. in 707 Rudder.
