It seems that most of the information cir culating about these changes has been misinterpreted and ultimately misunder stood. It seems that most of the uproar and negativity started when the administration realized that the grave sites of former Reveilles would have to be moved to accommodate the elevator shaft that allows access to the upper levels of the new addition. While having to move the graves of our beloved mascots leaves a bad taste in our collective mouth, the time always comes when progress must be made. The Kyle Field ren ovation involves many more positive changes for A&M and the athletic depart ment than it does negative. First, the new area allows for several thousand additional regular seats that are Len Callaway junior journalism major ing while going to setaj km Travel Services is now hiring campus reps/ :hool Is In session? ing Break and the summl, all, 731 University Drw elevated to obtain a better view. The luxury area is divided into two lev els. One level is for luxury boxes and the other is a club level , that allows close to two k-a thousand fans to enjoy the game from the comfort of their seats. The ticket price for the club level seats will include a full meal before the games and the ability to purchase conces sions during the game. Athletic Director Wally Groff said that “the accelerated purchase rates assigned to the luxury tickets will pay for most if not all of the bonded indebtedness.” This means that the University did not have to pay out of pocket for the new addition. The cost was covered by leasing the new area to alumni and boosters. Second, the elevator shaft that caused the move of Reveilles’ graves in the first place not only services the luxury areas but also allows for access to the second and third levels of the new and old stands so that people who cannot walk the ramps are not forced into doing so. There has always been an elevator on the alumni side but there has been no way for students or visitors to reach the upper levels without walking the ramps. Third, A&M cannot expect to attract the best football players in the country with out state of the art facilities. How many of you that were overly upset about the mov ing of Reveilles graves will also be demanding blood if A&M were to lose to Texas this year. The A&M Athletic Department as a whole has an excellent opportunity to grow into a national power house o’ sports with the inception of the Big 12. For some reason people seem to be uncomfortable with the notion that A&M could one day be known for athletic excel lence as a rule, as well as academic excel lence. No logical reason for these feel ings can be uncovered, at least by this columnist. The entire A&M community stands to benefit from the proliferation of our world class athletic department. If A&M can consistently recruit the best class of athletes then our chances of victory are greater. If A&M wins more, we can recruit better athletes each year. Good athletes get better, which means that we can graduate more ath letes to the pro ranks than before. Pros are idols.This means that we have Aggie idols walking around the pro ranks succeeding and bringing notoriety to our pro gram. Believe it or not, the facilities available for a recruit to use are often equally important factors of consideration as returning starters, other talent, coaches, scholarship amount or previous season record. Besides, what better venue than the classroom and the television can Aggies use to show off our spirit, cama raderie, intelligence and traditions. A&M’s reputation rests on academic and athletic excellence. Projects such as this one sim ply make it easier for A&M to remain an all around world class institution. Fourth, G. Rollie White has been called the “ holler house” for years because of the deafening noise level attained when all good Ags are properly motivated to raise a little hell with the opposition.The same theory applies to Kyle Field. Fifth, the A&M football team is building and getting stronger.Truly powerful sea sons are in our future. Where will we put all of the folks that want to see champi onship football at A&M if we don’t have seats for them. Will we just put more fold ing chairs around the track? I think not. Sixth, can anyone remember the tradi tionalist belly aching that took place when Kyle Field was reborn in the ‘70s with a third deck. Well, no one is complaining about the third deck now. How would we have survived the seasons of the eighties and the nineties thus far without the extra seating? The current A&M enrollment could not fit into Kyle Field without that addition. While it is definitely a shame that our “first ladies” had to be moved and dis turbed, the positive aspects and possible ramifications of the addition to Kyle Field far outweigh the injustice done to Reveilles I through IV. A more appropriate stance to take might be to be proud of A&M and the athletic program for being in demand and having the foresight to make this decision now. A&M should be a symbol of excel lence in every aspect of its being. The hor rible consequence of growth is that things can’t always stay the same. A&M should be a symbol of excellence in every aspect of its being and now is not the time to begin apologizing for growth and success.

Call 846-9523. 'alf of the Big 12 teams’ seasons are underway. The first week .featured a few match-ups that go against the scheduling trend of the second year conference. Like Nebraska, most schools schedule weak non-conference schedules to bolster records and give the coaching staff time to finalize the roster. But Texas Tech, Baylor and Oklahoma faced ranked opponents and lost. Anything For Money What is the going price for humiliation? If you ask Akron of Ohio they’ll tell you its $450,000. The former Division-II school bumped a home opener against Youngstown State to play Nebraska for the big payday. Nebraska defeated Akron 59-14 for its 37th straight win and 300th overall at Memorial Stadium. The Cornhuskers held a 644-243 advantage in total yardage, including 472- 99 on the ground. Heisman Hopeful Lights Up Red Raiders Peyton Manning began his Heisman Trophy campaign by torching Texas Tech, 52-14. Manning threw for a career- high five touchdown passes, tying a school single-game record. He retired in the third quarter having completed 26 of 38 passes for 310 yards, with one interception. The Red Raiders offense felt the loss of Byron Hanspard early. Tech had the football in Tennessee territory on its first five possessions and came away with one measly field goal. Once the Vols’ offense got in gear, it ran on all cylin ders. In an 11 minute span, Tennessee scored five touch downs on five consecutive possessions. The 10-3 lead exploded to 45-3. OU “Special” Teams Falters against Northwestern Sooner special teams coach Pete McGinnis answered the same question he faced at the end of each game last season. “What did I think about the special teams?,” McGinnis said. “They weren’t very special today.” In Northwestern’s 24-0 win over the Sooners in the Pigskin Classic, Oklahoma committed six blunders on special teams — kicker leremy Alexander missed field goals from 36 and 42 yards, two of senior Brian Shackleford’s punts traveled just 21 and 6 yards, and freshman Chris Lewis fumbled two kickoffs. Season Opener Begins Conference Play Oklahoma State began its climb towards .500 with a 21- 14 win over conference foe Iowa State. After finishing 4-8, 5-6 the last two seasons under head coach Bob Simmons, the Cowboys are hoping to turn the corner on the way towards a revitalized program. Running back Nathan Simmons second touchdown of the game, a one-yard run with just under 10 minutes remaining, broke a 14-14 tie and led Oklahoma State past the Cyclones. In his debut, Darren Davis, the starting tailback for the Cyclones and the brother of Troy Davis, gained a meek 51 yards on 16 carries. Baylor Bears — Brave or Waco? The Bears opened the season at home against No. 14 Miami. Over the last 13-plus seasons, the ’Canes are 99- 4 against unranked opponents. This one was over before it started with Miami lead ing 21-0 midway through the second quarter. Miami’s Edgerrin James, replacing injured tailback Dyral McMillan, scored three times as the Hurricanes crushed Baylor 45-14. The loss magnified the Bears many weaknesses that Roberts had touched on during two-a-days. During the summer workouts, Roberts said “there’s a lack of speed and a lack of people to throw the ball. We’ve got to get a lot better.” Good luck improving before conference play against Fresno State (Sep. 6) and Michigan (Sep. 20). Then the Bears will move onto Big 12 play with Texas Tech and Nebraska. At least those drubbings will be at Floyd-Casey Games of the Week Colorado State (1-0) at Colorado (0-0) — Folsom Field The 104 year old rivalry should have all the flare of a WAC shootout. The two teams lit up the scoreboard last season in Fort Collins with the Buffaloes edging out the Rams 48-34. Syracuse (1-1) at Oklahoma (0-1) — Memorial Stadium Although the Orangemen began this season ranked in the Top 25, the team plummeted after a 32-31 over time loss last week at the Carrier Dome to North Carolina State. Oklahoma leads the series 3-0, the first win coming in the 1959 Orange Bowl 21-6. Baylor (0-1) at Fresno State (1-0) — Bulldog Stadium The teams first meeting in 1993 was another WAC classic. Chuck Reedy’s Bears downed the Bulldogs in a 42-39 comeback win. Based on Baylor’s 37 passing attempts last week against Miami, this should be a repeat of the last match up. «nt or utilities.
