THE BATTALI01
Skaggs
Continued from page 1
by his father, a high school agri
cultural science teacher. Skaggs
said his father valued education
and helped raise livestock with
him from the time he was 9
years old through high school.
Kayce Forbes, a senior ani
mal science major, is Skaggs’
student worker. While she has
not taken any of his classes, she
said it is a pleasure to work for a
boss like him.
“He’s easy to get along with,”
she said. “He keeps me busy. I
look forward to coming to work
and working with him.”
Skaggs said he enjoys work
ing with A&M students on the
livestock judging team, which he
has been doing since 1995. Since
then, A&M students have won
two national championships and
one reserve national champi
onship. At these competitions,
students must choose which ani
mals will compete, and then give
oral reasons defending them.
Skaggs said he likes working
with these programs, because
they taught students to
their feet and employees value
that trait.
Skaggs said he enjoys teacli-
ing all of his classes,
especially enjoys teaching
Animal Science 107 and 1
because they provide an o[
tunity to expose non-majors;o
the field of animal science.
“1 enjoy different courses in
different wdys,” he said.
Skaggs is currently working
with Teaching Extension, he
ing to arrange different pro
grams, including youth pro
grams, and working as supenn-
tendent with the Houston
Livestock Show and Rodeo.
Although an employee of
A&M since 1992, Skaggs said
he still enjoys observing stud®
as they mature.
“It’s enjoyable to watch the
transition from freshmen to sen
ior,” he said. “It’s something
remarkable.”
Convocation
Continued from page 1
done on the A&M campus.
“We set up an estimate and it will be funded from existing mon;
from reserve,” Weicholt said.
English professor Douglas A. Brooks, will be the keynote spet
at the ceremony, and he said Freshman Convocation is an excelk
start to an academic career.
“We all have big endings,” Brooks said. “I see convocation as I
end of high school and the beginning of college.”
Brooks, who focuses on Shakespearian literature, said he plansc
relate the life of a student to the life of Shakespeare by stressing the fait
that success does not always happen alone.
“The basic thesis of my talk is that Shakespeare, like
artists, did not work in isolation, but rather collaborated extensive!
with actors, theater personnel and even other playwrights as he wrote.
Brooks said.
Lisa Led low, a freshman general studies major, said she is
she will attend convocation.
“It sounds like a nice idea, but I think it’s unnecessary
other opportunities and programs that A&M has to offer,” she said.
Through Freshman Convocation, the University will wekw
freshmen to A&M in the same manner that it will say goodbye tota
at the end their academic careers during commencement, Harpersaii
“Convocation is going to bring the same excitement to students
entering the University,” she said.
Eric Berger, a graduate student, said he might have chosen adit-
ent time to hold the ceremony.
“I think it’s neat, but people may be reluctant to go since i
before school starts,” Berger said. “It’s a time crunch fora
pie to do last minute things before the beginning of the year.”
Freshman Convocation will be held Aug. 31 at Reed Arena!

“I had wanted to be nominat

said. “Ed Davis and R.C. Slocum

discuss the idea.”

reporters in Baghdad. He was 11th on the U.S. list of 55 most- 1
ed Iraqis.
Sanchez said the deaths of Saddam’s sons are “definitely going
to be a turning point for the resistance and the subversive elements
that we are encountering.” He warned in an interview with (
however, that there may be “a spike” in attacks on U.S. forces,
President Bush said Iraqis can gain comfort from knowing ft

“Saddam Hussein’s sons were responsible for torture,
and murder of countless Iraqis,” Bush said. “Now morel
Iraqis can know that the former regime is gone and will never come
back.”
Ahmad Chalabi, a delegate from Iraq’s Governing Council wlio
was at the United Nations, called the killings of Saddam’s sons
devastating blow to Saddam (that) will accelerate his capture.”
“These deaths are another significant sign, a milestone, on t
road to persuade the Iraqi people that Saddam is gone forever,”
told Associated Press Television News, adding that it w'ould be bet
ter for Saddam to be captured, not killed, to answer for his crimes.
On the streets of Baghdad, some residents said they
American forces had taken Saddam’s sons alive.
