Feather Continued from Page 1 After his high-school gradua tion, Feather spent a year in Barcelona, Spain, as a Rotary Club exchange student. He de cided to attend A&M during his time in Barcelona. “I didn’t put any thought into where I was going to school,” Feather said. “In Spain, I decid ed to come to A&M on a whim and I told my mom to check that I was interested in the Corps.” Feather said his choice to join the Corps came a few weeks be fore his freshman year began. He said that although he was a reluctant cadet at first, he en joyed the Corps. “I was disappointed in my aca demic program my first semester, but I really liked the Corps,” Feather said. “I didn’t like the big classes and it was a big adjust ment from the lax lifestyle in Spain and small town life.” In the Corps, Feather has been in Squadron 8 and was the leadership training sergeant on last year’s Corps staff. He also is a Ross Volunteer. He was nomi nated for the commander posi tion by last year’s Corps com mander, Steven Foster. “The greatest feeling I have ever experienced is leading the Corps with the (Aggie) Band right behind me in march-ins and Corps trip parades,” Feath er said. “It is such a rewarding experience and it sends chills down my spine.” The commander said he is grateful for his experiences at A&M, although he wishes he had been more involved in other campus organizations. Feather said he loves A&M and the Corps, but A&M lacks ethnic and ideological diversity. Feather said the Corps has seen improvements, but he does not take credit for changes. “The Corps has improved, not because ofwhatlani; but what guysafewyeai did,” he said.
