Preschoolers learn Aggie way
By SANDRA J. 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.

spirit or the recent appearance of
fiiiil
icense plates show spirit

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.

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

Kennedy shares GIG EM with
his brother Rick, trading every two
years. 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.
Other Aggie plates spotted in
clude WHOOOP, AGBQ75,
TAMC76, TAMU76, TXAG75,
GIGM77, GIG UM, TAMU77, 76

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.
