Lake Somerville drowning accident claims lives of 5 family members
nesdayJuly 18.200
SOMERVILLE, Texas (AP) — A
Southeast Texas lake outing took a
tragic turn when five members of
a family drowned at Lake
Somerville Sunday.
When three young cousins ran into
difficulty staying above water, the
father of two of the children dived in
to try to save them, as did his brother-
in-law, said Burleson County Sheriff
Gene Barber. All five died.
Elasar Manzanares, 37, jumped
in after his daughter, Lupita
Manzanares, 11; son, Jorge
Manzanares, 8; and nephew,
Kevin Manzanares, 9, got in trou
ble. Jose Rangel, 22, the children's
uncle, also jumped into the water
to help.
Rangel went under about 100
yards from shore. He was taken to
St. Joseph Regional Health Center
“We would have
liked to have
found them
(Sunday), hut
dark came on us.”
— Gene Barber
Burleson County sheriff
in Bryan, where he died in the
intensive care unit.
Manzanares' body was found on
Sunday within 50 feet of his daugh
ter's body. Dive teams from the
Texas Department of Public Safety
and neighboring Washington
County found the bodies of Jorge
Manzanares and Kevin Manzanares
Monday morning.
"We would have liked to have
found them (Sunday), but dark
came on us," Barber said.
A third unidentified man tried
to help, but had trouble swimming
and returned to shore, Barber'said.
"He said the little girl was wav
ing her hands in the water and hol
lering for someone to come help,"
Barber said. "The little boys were
already in the water."
The family came to Welch Park

a way to make incoming
men feel comfortable on campu:
"The tours are designed
make students familiar will

not feel so lost," Youree said.
Youree said the tours also give
students background about some
of the landmarks around campu:
"Orientation leaders tell them
about some of the traditions

of the buildings," Youree said.
Along with the campus tours
the Department of Student Life
runs a program about unity and
respect for fellow students.
"We have the respect program
during the conference, whicli
introduces topics such as hazing

at A&M," Clark said.
There are also activities

Clark said the parent

change their families will experi

“It is impossible
for us to address
everything in
the short
amount of time
we have, so we
address the
major issues at
conference."
— Vanessa Clark
Coordinator of Student
Life Orientation
Dr. Edward Walraven, direc
tor of undergraduate advising for
the journalism department, said
advisers give students informa
tion about what their respective
departments require of them
while at A&M.
Walraven said advisers are
responsible for helping stu
dents plan out their first semes
ter at A&M.
"Generally, we give them
instructions on how to formulate
their schedule and enroll them in
their first semester of classes,'
he said.
West said his adviser was
helpful in answering some of
his questions about his first
semester.
"The person who answered
the most questions for me was
the departmental adviser," he
said.
Clark said although it is diffi
cult to address every issue, stu
dents leave the conference with
most of their questions
answered.
"It is impossible for us to
address everything in the short
amount of time we have, so we
address the major issues at con
ference," Clark said.
Overall, West said the experi
ence will help him make a more
smooth transition to the
University.
"I enjoyed the experience," he
