BY NONI SRIDHARA The Battalion ftw/me Science SyGgnZq & Co. Texas A&M University officials and the Department of Recreational Sports officials will unveil the “Walk of Cham pions” this afternnon at 3:30 in front of the Student Recreation Center. The Walk of Champions is a land scaped area of engraved bricks which were purchased by Texas A&M stu dents, faculty, staff and other friends of the University and put on permanent display in front of the center. Judy Cook, marketing director for the Department of Recreational Sports said in a press release, “The Walk of Champions brick program was estab lished to promote the values of leader ship, fair play, honesty and integrity ex hibited on a daily basis by Texas A&M students, faculty and staff. ” Cook said the idea for a Walk of Champions came about due to two main reasons. “When the Student Recreation Cen ter was completed in 1995, the drive area was not landscaped yet,” she said. “We also wanted a place where people who have been connected with the University will have a place for them selves where they can reflect on the time that they spent here.” Cook said the design for the walk originated from ideas from four student groups from the American Society of Landscape Architects in fall of 1997. The five students of the winning group were Jonathan McMillian, Kevin Jenkins, David Boles, Greg Bakunas and Billy Gonzales. The four original concepts submitted will be on display in the Rec Center lobby. Each of the bricks which will be un veiled include the purchase! and class year (if applicable) were sold at $250 for a reguk and $400 for large bricks.
