OFFER 96 C Colleges offer students bucks Four years of guts, determination and sweat usually underlie the career of a successful athlete of any sport. Dreams of fame or just the satisfac- tion of playing a decent game seem to make the sacrifices worthwhile. The goal of many athletes, however, remains a scholarship and a chance for collegiate play. Stanford University is a school for athletes whose interests lie not only in sports but also in academics. David Baldwin, pitcher for the Mustang baseball team, considered a lucrative offer from Stanford. I flew out one weekend in Ianuary to see the school lStanfordl, and they treated me great. They gave one of their Varsity team members a Mastercharge card and told us to 'live it up,' said Baldwin. Diver Casey Conley also received scholarship offers from Stanford, as well as North Carolina State, and the University of New Mexico. Another athlete with college aspirations was basketball player Reid Gettys. He has received offers from several Texas schools as well as out of state colleges. 'Td like to stay in Texas although if I get a really good offer, I would go out of state, said Cettys. A starting defensive tackle for the Mustangs for two years, Senior Glenn Hendrickson received several offers, among them University of Texas, Baylor, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Texas A8zM, later definitely commit- ting himself as an Aggie. Whatever colleges these five athletes decided to attend, their future success may not be certain. However, if intelligence, hard work and a positive winning attitude have any influence at all, they have a great chance. 1:U by Kelley Didion Toes pointed and arms outstretched, Senior Casey Conley executes a back dive at the natatorium.
