THE BATTALION yTi (Pr The Princeton Review Gimme five [onpy, Qii BERNARDO GARZA/Thk The recent appearance of a mascot fct Texas A&M games has caused con fusion among tradition-oriented Aggie fans. "By no means is it a representation , of the University or the Athletic De partment," said Rob Stewart, admin istrative assistant of promotions and operations. The character is part of a sponsor ship agreement between the Athletic Department and Hershe/s Chocolate. The character, Hershey's High Five, can be best described as a Sesame Street-like character. "You know it's something, but you aren't quite sure what that is," said Stewart, adding that High Five is sup posed to allow for more interaction with fans. "It is a game character used by Her shey's as a promotional tool." Stewart said the character has been well received, especially by younger Aggie fans. High Five hands out chocolate before and during games and leads contests during halftime. The character appears at soccer and volley ball games and will also appear at bas- Battauon ketball, baseball and softball events. [OR Get extra help when you need it - free.
