Keith, art editor of "The Battalion.” . \ - ' ’ - CAMPU/ COMMENT THE YELL LEADER WRITES it \ Daqnnber 8, 1981 TO THE EDITOR OF THE BATTALTON:— / Is there any chance of me getting a little space in some future issue of the Battalion? J V 1 would likte to thank the corpe for their supiwrt to the yell staff during the past football season. \ There is ao way to, express these thanks except through the Battalion and I might say that I hs.e had several letters from ex studenU who s«med t# think that the corps sounded better this year than in many a year. , • > pv It certainly made me feel good to receive congratulations from such men as "Besument” Buck, “Preacher” Durst, “Dudch” Hohn, and "Red” Thompson. They all said that our yelling at the Texas game was better than *at of nny cadet corps they had heard, banriag none. • ! „ ► 1 also received seteral letters concerning the formation at the Teas game. All letters were complimentary and it seems that every one liked it fine. I am sorry that the Seniors did not get to make the "T” in the stands but the reason they failed to do this was because the studenU sold their student tickets and the holders of these tickets had the right to sit in their seat*. The Seniors spent their time, while the corps was bn the field, moving people to the side lines and having a place vacant for the corpe when they came to the standa. . '• I’m sorry that I did and said things during the nt-ason that did not strike the fancy of some of you. Remember, please, that smart people make mistakes sometime so what the hell do you expect of me? Remember that ninety-nine per cent of the pencils sold at A and M have erasers on them. I think they are to erase mistakts. I can’t •rose mine but plans# accept my apologies and I am indeed sorry for my mistakes. . . i Many of the boy* on the campus hated to cooperate with the ytO staff because they figured that I belonged to a certain secret organisa tion on the campus. May I correct this notion ;<rf theta? Every year when the Junior YeQ Leaders are officially made yen leader* they have to premia# the Senior Yell Lseder that they will not joto theel organisation*. I made promise to "Hop" Reynolds #«««< "Freddie" Buford. I hews held by my promise and will st aB times keep holding to R. I made Tommie and George promise the same to me aad Pinkie made the promise at the same thmo I did, ao I may truthfully my that none of the yeU staff belong to the so-called frater- nities. But to certain men both in and out of those organisations may I thank you personally for your seif this past year. You have your own ideas aad whether yoe •ere or eot" I want to continue to bo your friend. Remember. 01’ Army, that basket hall season is starting and than baseball and track. If you support these sporte as in the past years I think every one concerned will bo mtisfiod but remember We loot several U>ket ball gamee last year by free shots which were given the visiting team on account of the booing of the cor* toward the actions of the officials. At Rases last your we had reason to do this hut remember the referee has us by the “ring-yang” so let’* wait until after the game to mas him. After the gun is fired ho can’t do anything. Help Coach Raid and the he*ket ball team by remembering this—won’t you? Remember also, 01’ Army, that you have aa election for Chief Yell Leader for next year. I don’t know who you intend to have fill tAis place next year hut remember that there happens to be a Httle work attached to the job aad be sure yen got a man who will do his best. I might say right here for you to elect a man "who will do as I my, not ons who will do as I did." May I recommend that you pnt a man in the place who has had some expe rience on the staff ’cause the experience he receives is neces sary and I don’t believe a man who has not had this experience can handle the job like it should be bandied To the lucky boys who didn’t go on the "December first corps trip” I wish a big year and to the luckier boy* who did make the one way tnp home I wish you Happy Xmas Holidays and lot’s of— wall let’s say-good eats. To you all, I thank you for the support this year. I consider it the greatest honor to be yell leader for a bunch such as we have here this year. I hope I can ceme back in future years to see you and be accepted ns friend to sack one of you underclassmen. And to the Seniors, let’s finish this year out by seeing more winning teams. Give your support »nd see that the others give their support—the teams will do the rest. y Thanks, fellows, J. U. PARKER.
