Aggies prepare for game

Students and businesses alike are making
arrangements for the most celebrated day of
football as the Green Bay Packers and the New
“I’ve never really cared very
much about the Super Bowl,
but it is a good excuse to get
together.”
Tracey Nordost
Senior psychology major
England Patriots prepare to face off Sunday in
New Orleans at Super Bowl XXXI.
To some students, the Super Bowl represents
the most important game in the sports year.
Andree Beaudoing, a senior elementary edu
cation major, said she is not going to miss the op
portunity to go out and have fun with her friends.
“It’s the only game of the year I look forward
to,” she said. “I’m definitely going somewhere.
I’m not going to just sit here and watch it by my
self. You have to share the Super Bowl with oth
er people. That’s the best part of Super Bowl.”
The drink specials, prize giveaways and ‘free
bies’ offered by some Bryan-College Station
businesses are reason enough for many students
to watch the game in a restaurant or bar.
Amanda Barnet, a bartender at The Fox and
the Hound, said she expects a large crowd on
game day because sports fans often gather there.
“We have a big crowd when the Rockets
games are on,” she said. "So we should be packed
for the Super Bowl.”
While hundreds of students will crowd the
restaurants and bars Sunday night, many others
will choose to throw their own Super Bowl par
ties. A house party is just as much a part of game
day as the game itself for some students.
Chris Flores, a junior journalism major,
made a Super Bowl Sunday party a tradition at
his apartment.
“Watching the game is fun, but who is com
ing to my party is just as important as who is
playing the game,” he said.
For others, however, the game does not hold
much interest.
Tracey Nordost, a senior psychology major,
tan S(

said having a good time with her friends is ^W^lcCtlO f 1
important than the game Sunday.
“I've never really cared very much aboutthePSEE related ec
per Bowl.” she said. “But it is a good excusei l
together. ITiis year, we will either have a fewfrii 1
over to watch the game, or do nothing at all."

L.T. Jordan Institute inducts membersRec
By JoAnne Whittemore
The Battalion
The L.T. Jordan Institute for In
ternational Awareness held its
tenth annual installation Wednes
day evening in honor of ten new
L.T. Jordan Fellows.
The Jordan Fellows are Texas
A&M students who travel abroad to
gain international exposure. The
students receive funding for their
trips through travel grants provided
by the Jordan Institute.
Jonathan Handelman, a new Jor
dan Fellow and an English graduate
student, said he will travel to the
Oaxaca region of Mexico. He said it
is a good opportunity to visit Mexi
co for more than just recreation.
“We (Handelman and his wife)
thought we should take advantage
of being so close to Mexico,” he said.
“It forces us to go and do real re
search, rather than just as tourists.”
Handelman will be conducting
studies in “magical realism”, which
takes normal daily life and incorpo
rates “strange” occurrences as if
they were ordinary.
He said he chose Mexico be
cause of the Latin American influ
ence present in numerous “magical
realism” stories.
“North America doesn’t have a
lot of magical realism,” Handelman
said. “Latin America has tons of it.
What makes them different?”
Fred Pearl, director of the L.T. Jor
dan Fellows Program and a former
Jordan Fellow, described the criteria
necessary to become a Jordan Fellow.
The students must propose an in
dependent research project designed
to give them an enriching cultural ex
perience. The students also must
represent the University in a re
spectable manner, serving as ambas
sadors for the school. When the Jor
dan Fellows return from their
projects, they are required to write a
research paper and give a presenta
tion on their findings.
Luke Altendorf, director of the L.T.
Jordan Institute, presented the insti
tute’s history. The Jordan Fellows are
a division of the Jordan Institute
which was established by Jessie W.
Jordan in honor of her late husband,
LelandT. Jordan, Class of‘29.
