MAYFIELD Special to the Batt What is tall, purple, plays foot ball, wears boots, a helmet and goes home for supper? Give up? It’s an Aggie. Anyway, an Aggie as described by a room full of lively, noisy 4-and-5-year-olds at French’s Wee Aggieland School. The children have recently been learning the “Aggie War Hymn” during their morning singing time and had a variety of descriptions and thoughts on what they believed an Aggie was. If the descriptions don’t fit you, don t worry. To these preschoolers. Aggies all look alike and you’ll fit it somehow. Talking to them at their school revealed that they held one overall conception of what Aggies are and do. The general belief of the children is that Aggies run around with shoulder pads and helmets playing football. Notjust40 Ags, or 100, but all Aggies suit out and play football. Aggies are football players, first and always and anything else they do is secondary to that purpose in life. Whether it’s the Twelfth Man spirit or the recent appearance of fiiiil icense plates show spirit By LYNN M. GARTMAN Special to the Batt Did you hear the one about how lorecognize an Aggie driving a car? 1 Many Aggies can be recognized by their personalized license plates. J\ggie spirit and Aggie identification 14—822-51J1 dle most common bases for the kites. WOO-HAH just came to me oin a wild hair,” Bill Clark, A&M tudent from Alvin, said. WOO- AH was a third choice following egular spellings WHO-HAH or HO-AHH, Clark explained.Since VOO-HAH is not the common pelling several of Clark’s friends ave nicknamed him WOO-HAH. I really get weird reactions when check into a motel and register my .by license plates,” Clark said. I me clerks always ask me a second 846-17H1 ime to make sure I’m serious.

Kennedy’s parents got GIG EM when personalized plates first came out in 1967 and gave them to the boys in 1970. “I just wish I had a new car to put them on,” Kennedy said. “I paid more for the license plates than for the car I have.” Last year he traded six Texas A&M-Texas football tick ets for the car. WE. R. AGS was chosen by A&M student Arlene Prescott because she wants everybody to know that she is an Aggie. “This is my third year to have them and I expect to have them forever,” Prescott said. One Longhorn gas attendant in Austin was amused by the plates when he filled out the ticket for Prescott’s purchase. “He didn t laugh too much because it was right after the LSU game,’ Prescott said. 77TAMU was chosen by Steve Slade because he wanted to show his Aggie spirit. I m from Waco and I’ll be there all this coming summer and I want them to know damn well where I’m from,” Slade em phasized. “Although a lot of friends give me a horse laugh at my class number, I have a lot of friends who have cheered me on, Slade said. Donald Falk, A&M student from Houston, got T.AGGIE for grins. “It’s really funny to pass people and watch their lips. You can tell they are saying TAGGIE and trying to figure out what it means, Falk re lated. “A lot of people aren’t really gung-ho about A&M, but I am,” said Marlane Weber, owner of AG- COED. “A guy once told me that my plates were the most asinine plates he had ever seen,” Weber said. “He couldn’t believe that someone would really put that on a car.” Weber has had AGCOED since 1973 and plans to keep it until she graduates. “I’ll probably get AG- GRAD or something when I finish,” she said. “What’s really funny about the plates is when a guy drives my car, Weber said. “I can imagine what people think. June Dunn’s AG MAG came straight from mother’s kitchen. June and her brother, Brannon 74, got the idea during a visit home when their mother baked them separate pies — one with AG writ ten on it and the other, MAG. One A&M student has ZIPS-77 but wishes to remain anonymous because he says it is not his privilege to know what a zip is.

NOTICE ALL ORGANIZATIONS (Hometown Clubs, Professional Clubs, Etc.) GROUP PICTURES ARE NOW BEING SCHEDULED FOR THE 1975 AGGIELAND AT THE STUDENT PUBLICATIONS OFFICE Room 216 reed McDonald building Across from Chemistry Bldg. Deadline for reserving space and scheduling pictures for groups is Thursday, Dec. 12, 1974 the Aggie football team on national television that has given these kids the idea that Aggies are football players. If you’re not in a football uniform, to them you’re not an Aggie. If you are not inclined towards running around with a helmet on your head, you still have a chance to partially redeem yourself. You can get the seal of approval as a bona fide Aggie from these kids if you have an inclination towards other sports. Johnny Black, 5, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Black, said that an Aggie can “be a baseball player” and David Paul Franklin, 5, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Franklin, said that “Aggies play basketball too.” After they got past the sports as pects, the children had further characteristics that they associated with Aggies. Color seemed to be a very impor tant factor to recognition. The prob lem these preschoolers had was de ciding exactly what this color was. Mark Purrish, 4, son of Mr. and Mrs. Al Purrish, termed the Aggies “purple and David Paul Franklin called the colors “red and white.” Finally, Brad Bell, 4, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bob Bell, called the Ag gies “maroon.” Of course Brad had better get it right, his grandfather was J. Earl Rudder. Several of the kindergarten girls had a little depth to add to the Ag gies appearance. Sara Davant, 5, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Davant, thought that “Aggies were boys and wore long sleeved shirts.” Christina Waller, 4, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Steven Waller, said she believed “Aggies played in the band. ” Trying to describe what Aggies did, Christie Chandler, 5, daughter of Linda Chandler, said “Aggies run around wearing boots and hats.” Jennifer Lee, 4, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Grant Lee, thought the high point of an Aggie’s day was “going home for supper.” Heather Griggs, 3, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Ford Griggs, had one last comment to make about what Aggies are. “They look like people,” she proclaimed, paused, then added, “don’t they?” Whatever the children think Ag gies are or what they think Aggies do, you can’t doubt their dedication to the song as they sing the “Aggie War Hymn” and saw ‘em off.
