What are your qualifications for
the office and why do you want it?
You have to have enthusiasm. You
have to want to do it and have the
time to put into it. As far as those
qualifications, I believe I am qual
ified. I think I have the time to de
vote to it and I believe I would really
enjoy doing it.
Would you accept a women’s
spirit committee? What activities
would you have it perform?
I would accept any kind of spirit
committee. I’d like to see more
people involved at A&M than there
I’ll be a Senior next year. Last year
I wanted to run for junior yell leader
and I just didn’t have the time.
People kept pushing me, saying,
“We want a civilian yell leader.”
Would you accept a women’s
spirit committee? What activities
would you have it perform ?
We have the Diamond Darlings.
If they want to do something like that
for some of the non-spectator sports.
I’d be willing to go along with it. The
yell leaders are there to take care of
the major spectator sports. If it was
more like the Diamond Darlings I
think it would work out.

A&M.
Would you accept a women’s

would you have it perform?
Yes, I would accept a women’s
spirit committee. I think girls here at
A&M have kind of pumped up the
Aggie spirit even more, and I see no
reason why we should restrict them
doing that any further.

Frank Shannon
What are your qualifications for
the office and why do you want it?
In the office of Yell Leader you
have to be a true Ag with maroon
blood. You have to know your fellow
students. You have to know your
school. In short, give your all for-
Texas A&M. Of these qualifications I
think I qualify.
I want the office of Senior Yell
Leader because I love Texas A&M. I
Joe Mickler
What are your qualifications for
the office and why do you want it?
I think I am very well qualified for
yell leader because I was junior yell
leader this year. The qualifications
are someone who wants to work, has
a deep love for A&M, someone who
can communicate to the people. I
think I have these qualifications.
Would you accept a women’s
spirit committee? What activities
would you have it perform?
It might get a lot more people in

I’d have to think about what I’d like
them to perform. Maybe stuff like

Professor evaluations have been

Are you planning to lobby during
the next session of the Texas Legis

why?
Yes, I plan to be actively involved
in the next session. In addition, I
intend to set up a committee of lob
byists and researchers to prepare
testimony and to be involved in lob
bying activities.
What is the best means of becom
ing involved in city and county gov

The best means is to become ac
tive in citizen’s committees. These
committees do the research and
make proposals to the council.
How do you plan to give the in
formation you acquire from conven
tions to the students?
I will provide such information
through the Student Government
Informer and The Battalion.
What are your qualifications for
this office and why do you want it?
I have been involved in Student
Government and the External Af
fairs Committee for three years.
Throughout 75-76 I was the vice-
president for external affairs. I’ve
learned how to get things done
through my position this year. I can
provide the continuity, management
ability, and dedication required by
this office.

dents have on their curriculum?
How can they get greater input?
Curriculum is influenced by many
groups, among them students, fa
culty, and employes. Students may
attain greater input by using what is
now available and expanding it.
There are three students on the Uni
versity Curriculum Committee, the
first step in changing curriculum.
How important is recruitment of
minority students to the education
quality of A&M? Why?
Minority recruitment is a rather
important issue. Education is a
broad term used to introduce stu
dents to as many learning situations
as possible. Anyone who says that he
or she does not learn from interac
tion with a minority is lacking in
self-assessment.
What is your feeling on mid-term
grade reports? Why?
Mid-term grade reports are faulty
in many ways and are helpful in very
few. Giving the student and/or the
parent a realization of the student’s
progress is good, if that is what it is.
Blanket grades, grades before a
curve and purely subjective grading
are definite faults especially when
these may be used for elections, vet
erinary school entrance and awards.
Should there be a stiffer policy for
satisfactory-unsatisfactory courses?
Why or why not? Should there be
more credit-by-examination? Why
or why not?
For the 1976-77 academic year, a
“C” in a satisfactory-unsatisfactory
course will be required to receive
the satisfactory designation as com
pared to a current “D ”. The re
quirements which will be in effect
will be justifiable.
Should there be a core of re
quired classes which everyone, re
gardless of major, takes? Why or
why not?
Required courses at this time are
English 104, Poli Sci 20^5 and 207 and
History 105 and 106. This is required
by state law.
How important is on-the-job
training (internships, practice
teaching, co-ops)? Should such
programs be extended and should
the Accreditation Boards be pressed
into allowing more credit hours for
such training? Why or why not?
Such programs have been trying
to expand the internship proposal
which the Student Senate endorsed
this year. Accreditation boards are
not the stagnating factor, trying to
get their requirements and intern
ships into a four-year program like
engineering is the problem.
Should students have input on te
nure hearings? Why or why not? On
selection of department chairmen?
Why or why not?
Tenure and department chairman
selection is an area concerning the
personnel of the University. Student
assessment of the professors is cur
rently used by the selection process.
What might be a better question
is: Should the process be re
evaluated by the University? Yes.
Should there be greater consid
eration in evaluation of transfer
hours? Why or why not?
Leave the consideration of equal
academic credit hours to those who
are able to assess that quality, the
professional academicians.

paint signs at the dorms, help form
spirit lines. That is a tough question
because it has never been attempted
at A&M.
Warren Neeley
What are your qualifications for
the office and why do you want it?
I live over in Moses Hall and I’m
sophomore representative on the
dorm council and on the judicial
board. I’m a member of SCONA. I
enjoy working with people. I think
that if I was yell leader I could yell
and I could help other people to yell.
I believe that the crowd and the
spirit is a large part of our success
with our teams. I think I could do a
good job and contribute to our win
ning.
Would you accept a women’s
spirit committee? What activities
would you have it perform?
I’d like to see them be able to do
more on the bonfire. But there’s a lot
of truth that if a girl gets hurt the
bonfire might have to stop. Serving
cookies and Cokes is not the idea of
good bull to most girls. I’m not sure
what could be done, if something
else could be set up for them as im
portant.
No pom-pom girls, no short skirts,
no kick routines. There is no place
for that at A&M. Some kind of advis
ory committee, I don’t know how
they’d pick it, it’s a good thought.
Paul Bracher
What are your qualifications for
the office and why do you want it?
I meet up to all the qualifications
of the election committee has set
aside.
In the past yell leaders have con
centrated their efforts on football,
basketball and maybe baseball.
Should other varsity sports be sup
ported by the yell leaders including
women’s events?
The thing about yell leaders is
they are there for the students and
they are for spectator sports. Unless
you’re not into golf it’s not really ex
citing. Girl’s basketball is coming up
and if people got interested in it the
yell leaders ought to be there.
Robbie Tucker
What are your qualifications for
the office and why do you want it?
First of all, I was a junior yell
leader last year, and senior yell lead
ers are the ones in charge that run all
five of them.
I feel I’m very qualified because
this year I have met all the university
campus leaders. I have a head start
over all the other people when it
comes to running things.
Would you accept a women’s
spirit committee? What activities
would you have it perform?
Well, I don’t know exactly what
you mean by a women’s spirit com
mittee. The women do carry on a big
part of the spirit. As far as I’m con
cerned, they are doing their part.
