Summer means time off for some
BY MELISSA PANTANO
The Battalion
A quick glimpse around the Texas A&M campus betw een
classes during the summer reveals a very different scene
from the usual bustle of fall and spring.
The campus undergoes minor changes as some staples
like dining halls and libraries close earlier, and, like the stu
dents that compose their ranks, some student organizations
opt to take a break during the summer sessions, while others
continue to go about their work.

said her organization
goes out with a bang
and then takes the
summer off.
“We always have a
big banquet at the end
of the year,” Cantu
said. “That marks the
end of the semester,
and we don't have
any ‘official’ events
after that until rush
next year.”
Cantu said just be
cause the organization
does not have any offi
cial events does not
mean she does not see
other members.
”W'e are a tightly knit group.” Cantu said. "‘We usually get
together at parties, or go out together during the summer."
Brandon Savat, a junior agricultural development major
and a member of the Corps of Cadets' Company l)-2. said
the summer is one of the busiest times for the Corps.
“Summer is when we do most of our recruiting.” Sav at said.
“Usually, every outfit picks about two members to stay in the
Quadfrangle]. They stay in uniform all summer and spend most
of their time taking prospective members around campus.”
Savat said that having members of the Corps visible and
on campus aids their recruiting.
