“Stand united, that’s the Aggie
theme. We’re the twelfth man
on the team.”
To preserve the unity of the
twelfth man, is a yell leader’s ma
jor goal. Being a motivated per
son and willing to give that 110
percent, 1 feel that I could be a
contributing factor in achieving
this goal. I am an active member
of the Corp of Cadets, but above
all, a member of the Aggie fami
ly. A family who is bound by the
powerful “Spirit of Aggieland.”

Ever since I came to Texas
A&M I have had a strong desire
to be a yell leader, and I feel that
I possess the quafctte* required
of a yell leader to represent our
University and uphold the Uni-;
versity’s standards of pride, spir
it and traditions.
Presently, I am a sub
chairman for the upcoming Fish
Camp ‘82. I believe this respon
sibility will be a great asset to me
if I am chosen as junior yell lead
er. I am a member of the Corps
of Cadets and an active member
in the Corps public relations
committee, Class of ’84 council,
and First Baptist Church, Col
lege Station. 1 feel that these
positions have prepared me for
the task of representing you, the
student body, as junior yell
leader.
I seek the position of junior
yell leader because, as I stated
above, I have a desire to work
with other people and to repre
sent you. Being in the Corps, I
have had the opportunity to
view past yell leaders on a regu
lar basis. I have seen the tremen
dous schedule demanded of
them, and I am prepared to give
all the time necessary to do my
job well.
As your candidate for junior
yell leader, I will represent you
not only at football and basket
ball games, but also at University
functions and special events. I
believe the key to being a good
student leader is that he shows
consideration and courtesy to all
and that he maintains a good
attitude at all times. I intend to
uphold the pride and spirit of
this University as junior yell
leader and I would appreciate
your vote on March 30-31.

I’m a sophomore member of the
Texas A&M Corps of Cadets. I
feel my qualifications for a yell
leader position include my enor
mous pride and knowledge of
Texas A&M’s heritage and tra
ditions; my personality, which
enables me to associate and to
work well with others; and my
leadership ability gained from
the Corps of Cadets.
I feel a yell leader should be a
leader on and off campus by set
ting examples through his ac
tions. In my eyes, the yell leaders
this year have done an outstand
ing job by cleaning up the yell
practices and promoting Aggie
spirit. The Aggie spirit is the
thing that drives our athletic
teams to win, but it is also what
strengthens the unique friend
ship among Aggie students.
It is my hope that I will be
elected junior yell leader so that
I may be an organizing part of
the spirit of the Twelfth Man.

Howdy Ags! It’s election time
again, and that means it’s time to
start considering exactly how
you, the student, want your Uni
versity to be represented. I say
this mainly because it really is
your choice. You are responsible
for the people who are elected to
office. It’s your vote. I would
challenge you to meet as many
candidates as possible, so you
can get a broad spectrum of who
you want to represent you in
each facet of this great Univer
sity.
I am running for yell leader. I
consider this to be one of the
most honorable positions attain
able on campus. A yell leader
conveys a sense of spirit for the
entire student body. I am ex
tremely enthusiastic about the
prospect of representing you at
Texas A&M or away. I have nev
er before held an of fice at this
University, so I guess my qualifi
cations are limited in that re
spect. However, my enthusiasm
is in no way limited, and I believe
that enthusiasm is a prime -re
quisite for the position which I
seek. I know a considerable
amount about Texas A&M Uni
versity, past and present, and
would love for everyone to share
in such knowledge. No other
university on earth has as much

heritage as does A&M, and one
should not pass up the oppor
tunity to become involved in it.
Finally, I would welcome the
opportunity to get to know you.
My goal is to talk with as many
people as possible so that you
can get to know
me, and make your choice from
there. If I cannot talk with you
personally, lace to face, then I
would urge you to call me. and
we can chat. My belief is that if
you know all about me — my
personality, motivations, etc. —
then you can make your choice
based on fact, not notion. I wish
the best of luck to all other can
didates, and extend my invita
tion to you also. May the best
men win!

At the present moment I do not
hold a leadership position.
However, 1 was chairman of an
MSC committee. The committee
was the Committee for the
Awareness of the Mexican
American Culture. In the past 1
have participated in the Fresh
man Drill Team. I am also a
member of the Corps of Cadets
and hold two positions there. I
am an Assistant Squad Leader
and I am the Operations Cor
poral. Another organization
that I am a member of is the
Rudder Ranger Company.
My reasons for applying for
the position of yell leader are
several. To begin with, I would
like to say that Texas A&M is a
proud University with many
famed traditions. I enjoy this
University and all that it has to
offer. I certainly clo not intend
to let an opportunity such as this
one pass me by. I want to experi
ence as much as I can f rom all of
the Aggie traditions. 1 also enjoy
motivating people and seeing
them united and cheering for a
common cause.
I have never had am experi
ence as a yell leader so 1 am not
familiar with the inside charac
teristics of being a veil leader.
However. 1 do know that the job
a veil leader performs is a verv
important one.
A yell leader is by all sembl
ance a representative of Texas
A&M University and helj/s not
only to motivate others behind a
comon cause, but also helj/s
others to enjoy a good football
or basketball game and forget
their troubles for a while. Yell
leaders should inspire others,
abide by traditions and helj)
others become more joyful by
exemplif ying cheerfulness and
exuberance.

The role of yell leader is one
that places great responsibility
upon the person in that role. He
has to rejnesent the University
at all sports functions, and bis
actions reflect upon Texas
A&M. I believe that I am capable
of undertaking the responsibil
ity and duties inherent in beinga
yell leader. 1 have the dedication
necessary to devote as much
time as needed to the position.
Besides the responsibility and
dedication, a yell leader must
have great pride and love for
Texas A&M. I feel that I have
the Spirit of Aggieland and I
hope to be able to demonstrate it
as yell leader. I believe that no
other university can compare
with Texas A&M in spirit,
friendliness, and tradition. The
traditions of this University are
one of its main foundations, and
as yell leader I would also like to
encourage more Aggies to parti
cipate in our traditions so that
they will actually become stron
ger in future years.
My final reason for desiring
to be yell leader is that I wish to
represent Texas A&M and its
student body in the best jjossible
way. If I can just imj/ress one
person enough so that he thinks
of Aggieland when the subject
of quality universities is discus
sed, if I can just convince an un
decided high school student that
T exas A&M is the place for him.
and if 1 can make just a small
contribution to the Aggie Spirit,
then I would consider my time
as yell leader to be highlv suc
cessful.
