a business career,” Mazurkiewitz
said. “The contacts and network
ing our students do is invaluable. I
don’t know anyone in business
who has been successful without
a network.”
Tuffy Loftin is one of the 25
admittants. He has been in the
cattle business since he graduat
ed from A&M in 1983 and is
currently the cattle manager for
Champion Ranch in Centerville,
Texas. He said he heard about
the program through industry
publications.
“I don’t think any of us
should ever stop spreading our
horizons. We should never stop
learning,” Loftin said. “I want
to be able to see a bit of what all
goes on, not just wear blinders.”
Loftin said he expects to
gain knowledge about every
facet of agriculture.
“The process of thinking
should be better,” Loftin said. “I
should be able to process and
handle everyday business deci
sions with a more global per
spective rather than just local.”
John Smith, loan review offi
cer for Citizens State bank in
Somerville, was nominated for
participation by a graduate of
the course.
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity to continue my edu
cation and do something I’m real
ly excited about,” Smith said.
Smith said the value of grad
uating the class is about more
than a certificate or a diploma.
“The state-wide exposure 1
get that says I completed this
course makes me a resource to
others,” Smith said. "It’s a
great endorsement.”
Smith said he’s looking for
ward to using this as a resource to
get in contact with other people.
“It gets you exposed to ways
others handle situations you
may deal with in your work,”
Smith said.
He also said the opportunity to
extend his education is valuable.
“After you graduate from
college and go into the work
force, it’s a good idea to contin
ue your education on topics that
affect you in your daily life and
in your work.”

said, traveling with President Bush in Philadelphia.
“One way to look at this is to look at the Libya
model: Good faith action on North Korea’s part
will be met with good-faith response by the other
parties,” he said.
It is the first detailed U.S. offer to North Korea
since President Bush took office and lumped it
into an “axis of evil” with Iran and Iraq.
South Korea said it would provide fuel for the
North once it declares the freeze. The timetable
for any benefits the North might receive for each
stage of the process still must be worked out, the
U.S. officials said.
The United States and the other four nations
participating in the talks would give North Korea
“provisional security guarantees” while the
nuclear dismantling work is carried out, according
to the American officials.
“First you would have to have North Korea
commit to the dismantlement of its nuclear pro
gram,” McClellan said. Then the two sides would
agree to “a detailed implementation plan.”

The Tae Kwon Do club was
admitted on a probationary basis,
wherein after one year its status
will be reevaluated and will then
be eligible for financial benefits.
“We want to see that they (the
Tae Kwon Do club) are financial
ly stable without us,” Boyle said.
“Each club has to do their own
fundraising because the money
we give them from student fees
will not cover everything.”
Ostrander said the team rais
es funds by working conces
sions at A&M football games,
car washes and magazine sales.
The club raised almost $10,000
in 2002 to send competitors to
Puerto Rico, he said.
Erik Platou, president of
SCA and a senior finance major,
said the Tae Kwon Do club did
an outstanding job defining
leadership roles and positions
within its organization.
“Competition is not the only
aspect of SCA,” Platou said. “We
like building students’ leadership
skills and responsibility, too.”
SCA is funded through the
Department of Recreational
Sports, and the more clubs admit
ted into SCA, the less money
there is to go around, Platou said.
“We try to help the clubs
cover necessary expenses like
safety training and equipment,”
Platou said. “The rest of the
money is up to them to raise.”
