5STAND PRICES
O ver the past few months much has
been said and written about the
remodeling and up-dating of Kyle
Field to include two-level of luxury areas.
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.

'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.
