“The group has worked on small-
business projects and has had some
limited opportunities with larger cor
porations,” he said.
Shearon said MCG plans to work
on a regional economic development
project for part of southwest Texas
and to mentor high-school students
to interest them in the business field.
“We’re working with a small school
system to help “at risk” high-school
students develop an appreciation for
business and educate them on what
business is,” he said.
Shearon said tentative plans for
the project will allow high-school stu
dents to form small businesses.
“The mentors will go in and assist
as 3 to 4 students put together a small
business,” he said. “Under the men
torship of MBA students, the high-
school students will be able to keep
earnings from the business. The stu
dents will receive practical informa
tion and mentorship from MBA stu
dents, creating role models and
aspirations for the future.”
MCG is a non-profit organization,
and members are not paid for their
work, but Daniel Naegeli, an adviser
for MCG from the A&M MBA Career
Services, said members benefit from
the group in other ways.
’’One of the important things that
students get out of the program is real-
world experience from consulting
with businesses,” he said. “If you’re in
a classroom, you’re working with hy
pothetical situations. But these stu
dents are making presentations to real
companies. You just can’t get that kind
of experience from class.”
Walls said the group is beneficial
for students and businesses.
“It’s really a service organization,”
Walls said. “It provides terrific services
for students and recruiters. It’s good
for the school and the program.”
Walls said members benefit from
the contacts they make and job op
portunities that become available.
“It’s very beneficial for recruiting,”
she said. “From internship projects
last year, there were at least three di
rect hires.”
Walls said although the program is
new, MCG hopes to expand to other
schools.
“Eventually we would like to
branch out into chapters at other uni
versities,” she said. “But that’s a long
way down the road.”

In addition, fourth-year stu
dents must participate in an ex
ternship, which means practicing
at clinical and medical centers
around the world.
“They plan the externship, and
they can take it wherever they
want,” Herron said. “A lot of them
will take eight weeks and use their
four-week vacation [from school].”
Veterinary students must
choose a clinical track for their fi
nal year.
Veterinarians planning to work
at a mixed-practice clinic must ro
tate between the Large Animal
Clinic and the Small Animal Clin
ic during their final year.
Other students may choose a
non-practice career, where they
participate in a one-year intern
ship and possibly a residency af
ter receiving their DVM.
Dr. Heather Fox, an intern at
the Small Animal Clinic, graduat
ed and received her DVM from
the University of Tennessee.
Fox said she selected A&M for
her internship after doing gradu
ate work here.
“I was a chemical engineer be
fore,” Fox said. “I think that the key
to anything that you do is to work
hard and to keep an open mind."
Fox said a strong math and sci
ence background was an asset to
her during veterinary school. She
said she is considering a residen
cy to specialize in medicine,
surgery or neurology after she
completes her internship at the
Small Animal Clinic.
Herron said a residency, which
lasts about three years, provides
veterinary students with an op
portunity to specialize in a specif
ic field of medicine.
“Students want to spend their
lives doing what they really enjoy,”
Herron said. “Becoming a veteri
narian was a job that I wanted to
do. I enjoyed animals and science.
For some, it may be working with
cattle for the rest of their lives and
for some it may be working in
zoos or working with birds.”

Christian rock band
calls out to Aggies

By Michael Schaub
Staff writer
F rom its first concert in a col
lege classroom to two No. 1
spots on Billboard album
charts, Caedmon’s Call has come
a long way.
The Christian folk-rock band
was founded in 1992 by a group of
friends, then students at Texas
Christian University in Fort
Worth. The band played class
rooms and the like before record
ing two independent albums, just
don’t want coffee and my calm / /
your storm.
The albums sold well at Chris
tian bookstores and small main
stream record stores, and Caed
mon's Call began selling out
venues at college campuses
across the nation.
Caedmon’s Call just released its
major label debut, Caedmon’s Call,
which was recorded in Atlanta with
producer Don McCollister.
The album debuted at No. 1 on
the Billboard Heatseekers album
chart, which chronicles up-and-
coming bands. It also reached the
No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Contem
porary Christian album chart.
The band has played cities as
far as Phoenix and Durham, N.C.,
and will travel to Grand Rapids,
Mich., later this year.

the band retains its Christian me
sage and has earned praise inC0|
magazine, a Christian music peri
odical. The single “Lead of Love" t
receiving extensive airplay ot|niversi
Christian and mainstream r.
stations across the country.
The band is reluctant to de
scribe its sound in interviews,
though several critics have com.
pared it to Georgia-based folkacts
like Billy Pilgrim and the
Girls. Their debut on the Billboard
charts makes them one of the
more successful Christian grou|
on a major label, earning them
comparisons with Christian alter
native rock group Jars of Clay.
Caedmon’s Call has covered
songs by Rich Mullins, theChris-
tian singer who died last weekin
