Marsh Clears Up Yell Leader Misconceptions
Editor:
I would like to attempt to clear
up the misconceptions many stu
dents have had concerning the
proposed changes in the qualifi
cations for Yell Leaders. I am
a Senator on the Senate Rules
and Regulations Committee which
formulated the changes in the
wording of the qualifications.
Most students seem to have
gotten the impression that by de
leting the word “male" from the
qualifications the committee is
suggesting that the students
would like to see a girl as Yell
Leader.
Therefore, virtually all discus
sion regarding this issue has con
cerned itself with the desirabil
ity of a girl Yell Leader and the
implications toward Aggie Tra
dition. In my opinion, however,
I cannot consider this as a rele
vant issue in the question of
qualifications for Yell Leader.
As most students will recall,
the Texas Legislature gained the
dubious title of being the first
state to ratify the Equal Rights
Amendment in the nation. Hence
forth, any laws or requirements
included under Texas law which
are discriminatory in any way
to either sex are against the
Texas State Constitution.
Even with the present wording
of the Yell Leader requirements,
a girl would only have to appeal
to the Judicial Committee on the
premise of state law and become
Batt News Summary I
By The Associated Press
PARIS — North Vietnam dis
closed the broad outlines of a
peace agreement Thursday and
said the United States had agreed
to sign it next Tuesday, but
then backed away on the ground
that South Vietnam had refused
to agree to it.
Hanoi charged this proved the
United States was “not negotiat
ing with a serious attitude.”
Despite the harsh words the
peace delegations here agreed to
meet again next Thursday.
WASHINGTON — Presiden
tial aide Henry A. Kissinger said
Thursday “peace is at hand” in
Vietnam and, in his view, can be
achieved in three or four days
of private diplomacy.
The Saigon government how
ever, remained a principal stum
bling block, stating that the
South Vietnamese could not be
bound by any North Vietnam-
U.S. agreement.
Kissinger, President Nixon's
much-traveled assistant for na
tional security affairs, gave
newsmen an hour-long report on
closed-door negotiations after
Hanoi Radio shattered the secre
cy lid by announcing the United
States and North Vietnam were
on the brink of signing a nine-
point peace plan.
settlement “can and will be
worked out.”
Speaking for the first time
publicly about what he termed
“a significant breakthrough” in
the Vietnam negotiations, Nixon
told an airport rally that “I am
confident we will succeed in
achieving our objective . . . peace
with honor and not peace with
surrender in Vietnam.”

Physics Group To Convene Here
WASHINGTON — Clark Mac
Gregor, chairman of President
Nixon’s campaign committee,
acknowledged for the first time
Thursday the existence of a spe
cial campaign fund under the
control of high-ranking: Republi
can campaign officials.
But MacGregor said none of
the funds was used to finance a
widespread campaign of political
espionage against Democratic
presidential hopefuls.
The Society of Physics Students
will host the annual Zone 10
Physics Convention this weekend.
Physic students and professors
from Texas, Oklahoma and Ark
ansas are expected to attend the
meeting, said Clarence Annett,
president of the Society of Physics
Student at A&M.
“The theme of the convention
is ‘Physics and Society’ and phys-
cists, will examine from both
practical and physical views ex
actly how physics and society are
related,” said Annett.
Speakers at the two-day meet
ing include Prof. H. E. Rorschach,
Rice University; Dr. Charles Arn
old, Esso Production researcher;
Robert James Chalek, head of the
Physics Department at M. D. An
derson Medical Hospital; Dr. Roy
Biser, Lamar University; and Dr.
Raymond Sears, American Phys
icists of New York.
GREENWICH, Conn. — A po
lio epidemic was declared by fed
eral officials Thursday at Day-
croft School, where a number of
students had not been immunized
against the disease because of
religious reasons.
“We have to declare a polio
epidemic with our preliminary in
formation,” said Dr. Dweayne
Andrews, of the U. S. Health
Service's Center for Disease Con
trol in Atlanta, Ga.

a candidate. The whole proced
ure would blow the issue out of
proportion and create a great up
roar on campus.
Let me state that even though
I am discussing the legal impli
cations of leaving the word
“male” in the requirements, I am
violently opposed to EVER hav
ing a female Yell Leader at
A&M! In fact no one on the
Rules and Regulations Commit
tee wants one either. I have also
been convinced that almost no
one on this campus is in favor of
upsetting Aggie Tradition by
having a female Yell Leader.
Since we are unable to legally
require a sex preference, al
though it seems to be the over
whelming consensus of the stu
dents to only have male Yell
Leaders, we could possibly solve
the problem in a different man
ner. The only solution I can come
up with to express the wishes of
the student body as well as re
main within state law wbuld be
to add a statement to the quali
fications declaring the intentions
of the students as upholding the
Aggie Tradition of all male Yell
Leaders. This would, of course,
have no enforcing quality, but
would at least keep some state
ment that the Yell Leaders should
remain all male in the wording
of the requirements.
This issue is scheduled to be
decided at the next Senate meet
ing November 2, 1972, and I am
sure that everyone on the Com
mittee and in the Senate would
appreciate any student feedback.

to voice our opinions on the issue
by voting.
If the majority of students
here want female yell leaders, I
feel it is awfully presumptuous
for a minority of individuals to
deny them that privilege.
If, however, the majority are
against the idea, then their feel
ings can be adequately expressed
at the polls.
I respect the right of speech
to those who would suggest that
female yell leaders would make
A&M a “TU at College Station,”
but I hope that such shallow
statements will not be used in
an attempt to deny the student
body’s right to choose its own
yell leaders.

I am not attacking the right
to vote against female yell lead

me from voting for female yell

Why does TAMU deny me the

Editor:
It seems to me that the cur
rent yell leader issue has been
greatly misunderstood. The ques
tion before the Student Senate
is not whether A&M should have
female yell leaders, but whether
the student body should have the
opportunity to vote on the issue.
Regardless of my personal
views on female yell leaders, I
strongly resent the efforts of
those who would deny me and
wish to have their case known
personally with the Exchange
