Semlau said she enjoys showing high school
students what A&M has to offer and what she
likes about being a student here. That isn’t the
most rewarding part of her experience, though,
she said.
“I most enjoy getting to interact with these
high schoolers,” Semlau said. “Knowing that 1
have a tiny role in planning their future and where
they go to college.”
The program is aimed at high school seniors
such as Joel Woodward, 18, of Trinity Christian
High School in Lubbock.
“This program showed me a lot 1 didn't know
about (A&M) firsthand,” Woodward said. “It has
helped me decipher what others have told me.”
Woodward, who was born and bred a Red
Raider, says he is having second thoughts about
his college plans.
Woodward said he will definitely apply to
A&M, and if accepted, plans to participate in Aggie
Men’s Club, Breakaway and the Honors program.
High school seniors, though, aren't the only
ones who get to participate. Joanna Kelley, 16, is
a student at Grace Prep Academy in Arlington,
where she ranks 15th in her class with a 4.0 GPA.
Her family ties drew her to Texas Tech, but she
said, “1 was amazed by the spirit and tradition here
and how much everyone likes this school.”

able to,” Venable said.
Many former students know they can
mail tickets in to be sold or come to the
Flag Room on game day to buy from
TicketMart, said Darby Roberts, Alpha Phi
Omega’s adviser.
“It’s a great opportunity to reduce
scalping and provide a service to the cam
pus, which is part of APO’s mission,”
Roberts said.
Last year, an average of 150 tickets were
sold before each game, Venable said. The fra
ternity hopes to increase that number this fall.
Kelly Pampell, a staff member who works
in the Student Organization Finance Center,
used TicketMart to buy tickets last year.
“It was very well organized and I was
impressed with the record keeping that was
going on. They provide a wonderful service
to visitors,” Pampell said. “On our way out,
we referred other people who were looking
for tickets to the MSC.”

such as publications, fire,
emergency medical serv
ices, hazardous material,
law enforcement, public
health and elected and
senior officials.
Rabbi Peter Tarlow,
executive director of the
Texas A&M Hillel
Foundation and author of
“Event Risk Management
and Safety ” said the fund
ing will permit a large
amount of useful research.
“The NERRTC will
permit us to have the capa
bilities today to develop
the methodology that will
prevent other negative
events,” Tarlow said.
Don Stewart,
spokesman for U.S. Sen.
John Comyn, agrees that
preparation is necessary to
prevent future problems.
“When a terrorist
attack happens, it is too
late to train for it,”
Stewart said. “Grants
like this seek to train
responders and prevent
catastrophic events.”
Sen. Hutchison also
requested the funding that
is being used for the cur
rent fiscal year 2004.
“The NERRTC is a
pioneer in the field of
Homeland Security, and
by being provided the
resources they need,
they will be able to take
operations to the next
level.” said Kevin
Schweers, Hutchison’s
spokesman.
Schweers said they
are hopeful that the
appropriation will pass in
the full senate in July and
then be signed by
President Bush.
