Cody Franklin — THE BATTALION
Junior defender Karlie Mueller takes a shot on goal during Tuesday's exhibition
win against Sam Houston State.
WOOSLEY CONTINUED
18 years. Next year I will be former
speaker and then I plan on staying
involved with the Senate even after
that.
THE BATTALION: What are some
issues the Faculty Senate is facing
at the moment?
WOOSLEY: Recently the state has
mandated a review and a change in
our core curriculum requirements for
university students throughout the
state, so the senate has really been
involved in working with developing
a new core curriculum. We also of
course are very involved with our new
president and we, the faculty, have
been involved with looking for and
bringing in a new president. Those are
two of the biggest things we've been
doing this last year. We are very happy
to see Dr. Young come in.
THE BATTALION: What interested
you to get included with the Faculty
Senate?
WOOSLEY: I think it's just that I like
leading people. I feel like I make a
pretty good leader; I listen. I like to
think I'm really good at listening and
mediating. That's why I think I'm here.
THE BATTALION: You are also the
scuba instructor at A&M. How long
have you known how to scuba dive?
WOOSLEY; I learned when I was in
college, and that was a long time
ago. From that point, by the time I
graduated as an undergraduate I was
assisting in the university classes.
Then I became an instructor soon after
that. Then I moved to Australia for five
years and taught there, at the Great
Barrier Reef.
THE BATTALION: Have you dived in
any cool places?
WOOSLEY: The Great Barrier Reef
is the largest barrier reef in the
world. There are very pristine places
still left there. Off in Indonesia and
Micronesia, I've taught, traveled in
Asia for extended periods. I also
taught in Japan for a year —Texas
A&M University used to have a ranch
campus in Japan for a short time and
so I taught over there for a year and
dove in that area. Over time I have
become a master instructor, which is
the highest ranking level. I've taught
and worked with many divers, I've
instructed people from the beginning
level all the way up to advance rescue
and dive master's instructor level. They
serve around the world too.
THE BATTALION: Can you explain
the feeling one experiences while
scuba diving, for those who have
never done so?
WOOSLEY: A lot of people kind of
feel like if they could experience what
it would be like in space, it would be
like that underwater, because you're
weightless — freedom of movement.
