Landscaped brick path recognizes value of integrity, fair play at Texas A

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!

year.
Manyam said the event is detailed and important to the Hindu com

the community and friends from (University of Texas) and Houston

Four guys, best friends, have grown
up together in Dancer,TX Pop.81, a
tiny town in West Texas. Years ago
they made a solemn vow to leave

graduate. Now it’s that weekend
and the time has come to “put up or
shut up.” The clock is ticking; and
as all 81 people in the town watch,
comment, offer advice and place
bets, these four very different boys
with unique backgrounds struggle
with the biggest decision of their
lives . .. whether to stay or leave
home.
