What alternatives or solutions should be used when yell leaders can’t attend a sporting event? There is not a problem of too many athletic events. Before being elected, yell leaders should realize that much of their time is going to be spent at athletic events. Along with the privileges of this position comes this responsibility to the 12th Man. What criteria should be used to decide which sporting events yell leaders should attend? The nature of the sport should be used to decide the yell leader’s at tendance. If it requires crowd par ticipation, the yell leaders should be present to lead the 12th Man. Does midnight yell practice need improvement? If so, what? The attitude that it is “good bull” to break the ranks of the Band or run across Kyle Field needs to be changed. The yell leaders can help change these attitudes by stressing that good Ags are unnecessarily hurt in these situations. Also, “grode” stories should at least be funny.

What alternatives or solutions should be used when yell leaders can’t attend a sporting event? I don’t believe there is a problem of too many athletic events. Texas A&M is a major university and competes highly on the intercol legiate level. I think it is important that all Aggies compete in those sports that give our school any rec ognition. I believe that all Aggies are representatives of Texas A&M and that when yell leaders are not present, the students will act and take up any slack. What criteria should be used to decide which sporting events yell leaders should attend? Yell leaders must always attend those sports events that are highly recognized at an organized South west Conference level or national level. After these major events, a yell leader should attend as many other activities as possible. These activities should include varsity sports played by both men and wo men. As far as varsity sports are concerned, I believe that the yell leader should be there whether the game is at home or away. Does midnight yell practice need improvement? If so, what? Midnight yell practice is one of the most unique things about A&M. I believe that it should certainly re main as an annual Friday night event before the football games. If any improvement is needed, I be lieve it should he in the area of maintaining a more orderly pres ence at yell practices. This is hard to regulate, but I do believe it is a shame that the band is put under pressure on going to yell practice as it is. . . . HOWELL (Continued from page 4) 12th Man is behind them 110 per cent. I know that I have this spirit and desire to be a represenative for all Aggies. Is there a problem of too many athletic events? What alternatives or solutions should be used when yell leaders can’t attend a sporting event:* No, personally I do not believe there are too many athletic events. Sports participation is a great part of this university and always has been. As for the alternatives or solutions, the only answer is participation as long as the yell leaders school schedule permits it. What criteria should be used to decide which sporting events yell leaders should attend? As stated in the previous answer, I feel the only criteria is school schedule. We all came here for academic purposes so this should he the yell leader’s first consideration. Total participation is necessary if our teams are to get the backing they need; the yell leaders are an essential part, hut the 12th Man needs to be there in hill force to generate the enthusiasm Aggies are known for. Does midnight yell practice need improvement? If so, what? Yes, I personally feel midnight yell definitely needs improvement. Kyle Field is a memorial and I feel more respect should be shown. By respect I mean that people should think before they take beer or liquor inside; secondly, I feel that they should leave the lights out a longer (WHOOP!) to enrich good ole Aggie tradition. . . . HANCOCK (Continued from page 4) No, as it stands there is no prob lem of too many sports events. Just as long as people realize some sports events there is noi| yell leaders can do organized yej or unorganized yells, for thati ter. I see no reason for yell leat not attending the designated euj they do, but if for some reason! can not attend, then by siiJ communicating with a few studtj maybe the word will he paslf see no reason why at least one| leader can’t attend, anyway. I What criteria should be usefl decide what sporting events leaders should attend? Basically, just a good sensei judgement. A Southwest ConfJ ence affiliated event where a laj enough crowd attends so that lej ing yells is possible. The yell lea are only human; if they do best, no more can be asked.
