feeling the pain of others and help
them, then there will be a whole dif
ferent aspect to public policy. Our
system of value depends on how we
value ourselves.”
He said that if one pursues the
political career to gain power or pres
tige, then one is not principle-driven.
“The goal should be not to win
public office but to do the right
things and make things happen in
our world so that our neighbors and
our children are impacted in a posi
tive way,” he said.
Huckabee said he is disappoint
ed with the direction of our culture.
“Since the ’50s and ’60s, I’ve seen
our culture go from ‘Leave it to
Beaver’ to ‘Beavis and Butthead;’
from prayer in school to police in
schools; from drive-in movies to dri-
ve-by shootings,” he said. “There’s
been so much slaughtering of chil
dren through abortion. To become a
better nation, we need to change our
principles to help that innocent child
and need young people to stand up
and make a difference.”
Despite these problems, Huck
abee said, he is proud of what Amer
ica stands for and the opportunities
it provides.
“The greatest thing to know is
that a child who comes from a dys
functional home still has the oppor
tunity to make his dreams come
true,” he said. “President Bill Clin
ton struggled as a child and came
from a dysfunctional family. He suf
fered from abuse and alcoholism, as
a child but he never gave up on his
dream of becoming president. He
told everyone that he would become
president, and it came true despite
his hardships. That’s the greatest
thing about our country— to let a
child know that there is hope.”
Prior to his political career, Huck
abee was president of a television
station and communications com
pany in Arkansas and held positions
in the Southern Baptist Church. He
said his background as a pastor
bothered Arkansas citizens, and he
faced a lot of hostility for it.
“Being a minority [a Republican
in a Democratic state], how could
one accomplish his dreams?” he
said. “It is a hard uphill climb, but
by articulating our messages and
principles clearly and acting with
character, one can get things done.”

He said CARPOOL, Caring Aggies R
Protecting Over Our Lives, runs approx
imately 15 hours out of 168 hours per
week, each Thursday, Friday and Satur
day from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m.
“As of Oct. 23, CARPOOL has given
rides to 1,370 individuals, and we have
only been running for six weekends,
equal to 18 days,” he said. “This pro
gram is not monopolizing a business.
“CARPOOL receives money through
local sponsors, letters and advertise
ments. Zero dollars come through Texas
A&M University.”
A six-man team from the
Corps of Cadets placed first for
the second year in a row at the
annual Ranger Challenge com
petition last weekend at Fort
Hood, near Killeen.
The competition tests the
basic infantry skills and knowl
edge of 25 teams from Army
ROTC programs at 20 colleges
in Texas, Oklahoma and New
Mexico.
These units make up the
5th Brigade of the U.S. Army
Cadet Command’s 4th ROTC
Region, which sponsors the
event.
The first-place team, which
trained eight weeks for the
competition, was composed of
two junior and four sophomore
members of Rudder’s Rangers,
a Corps of Cadets special unit
that trains cadets to a high lev
el of proficiency in military
skills and physical fitness.
