THE BATTALION
Fierce competition awaits the
Texas A&M men’s golf team
today as the Aggies head to
Austin to compete in the Morris
Williams Intercollegiate. The
Austin Country Club will host a
parade of top college programs
through Tuesday.
Leading the way for the
Aggies will be team captain and
senior Shuan Helme and juniors
Stephen Reed and David Tasker,
whose 71.92 rating through five
events this season currently leads
the Aggie team.
This is Tasker’s first year with
A&M since transferring from the
New Mexico Military Institute
where the Australia native won
three JUCO tournaments and fin
ished third at the NJCAA
National Championships in 2001.
Reed, who has competed in every
tournament this season, finished
second individually at the
Louisiana Classic where his 5-
under-par total of 211 paced the
Aggies to a third place finish.
Helme has contributed consis
tent scores and is currently third
on the A&M team, averaging just
more than 74 strokes per round.
Helme said that the end goal is
to compete for a national champi

An open letter to Texas A&M Students
Fellow Students:
Last semester I videotaped a consensual sexual encounter with a young lady without her knowledge. After I did
so, I showed the videotape to other students. I knew what I did was wrong but I did not know that it was illegal.
I soon found out that a law took effect September 1,2002, that makes videotaping another person without his or
her consent with the intent to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person a felony.
What I did was wrong because it was immoral and a tremendous embarrassment to the victim, my fraternity, my
family, and myself. What I did caused enormous pain and suffering to the victim, her family, and my friends.
Furthermore, I failed to live up to the high standards of Texas A&M University. I want everyone to know that this
sort of behavior and the taping of anyone without their permission is a crime and I urge the students of Texas
A&M University not to participate in this type of immoral and illegal conduct.
As a result of my conduct, I have been suspended from Texas A&M University and my fraternity, arrested and
charged with a felony, placed on probation for five years, must perform 250 hours of community service, pay a
fine, and serve 30 days in jail.
I apologize to the young lady that I hurt and offended and I am deeply sorry for my actions,
and your family from the bottom of my heart and I BEG you for your forgiveness.
apologize to you
Sincerely,
Ashcroft's
