of the fall semester as a "secret
guest speaker."

This little piggy went to Mosher
— but he should have stayed home
Several male students drag
ged a live pig through Mosher
Hall, a women's dormitory at
Texas A&M, at 3 a.m. Jan. 20.
The head resident and several
resident advisers had just
finished filling out incident re
port forms for a stabbing that
had taken place earlier when
they heard pig shrieks coming
from the dorm's brpe/eway.
They managed to corner the
hysterical pig and contain him in
a blanket. An Aggie Pig in a
Blanket! No bull.
The ill-fated pig suffered a cut
on his leg and went into trauma-
induced shock, was sent to the
Texas A&M Large Animal Clinic
and is hopefully on its way to
recovery.

Why is this even here?
When Neil Landsman, fresh
from the University of Texas, in
vaded the Bryan-College Station
Eagle as a sportswriter, he pro
ceeded to find everything he
could that was wrong with the
Texas A&M athletic depart
ment.
He criticized the coaching tac
tics of Jackie Sherrill; he said the
-‘‘•klpfirdonar+monl ehnilld
dropped football from varsity
status instead of soccer; he was
an overall bad Ag.
In addition, Landsman's pap
er enjoyed the controversial
publicity Landsman achieved
and launched an all-out cam
paign pushing the "Who the
hell is Neil Landsman" slogan.
Who the hell cares?
Do helmets count?
Students deluged The Batta
lion with letters in September
concerning the burning ques
tion of "can hats be worn in Kyle
Field?" The argument centered
on disagreement about the
memorial status of the stadium.
Some students said the sta
dium isn't a memorial. Others
wrote in and said the 55 flags
that ring the stadium are memo
rials to Aggies who died in
World War I.
A former student wrote in
and said the stadium was never
officially designated a memo
rial, but hats weren't worn by
Corps of Cadets members then
as a matter of courtesy.
And then of course, there are
always those rich alumni who
love to wear their Aggie baseball
caps to the games.
It was later decided that Kyle
Field is not a memorial so hats
are optional
The sky is falling,
the sky is falling
Texas A&M's annual bonfire
not only fell early this year, but
the outhouse atop the stack fell
on a student.
Only 30 minutes after the
annual Aggie bonfire had been
lit, the outhouse atop the stack
tumbled to the ground, hitting
an A&M student on the noggin'.
The student, a bonfire super
visor, was taken to a local hos
pital where he was treated and
released.
Traditionally, the burning of
the outhouse is supposed to rep
resent the burning of the Uni
versity of Texas by the Aggies.
Not vice-versa.
Lift those skirts a little higher, boys
After losing to the University of Texas in another Thanksgiving Day Massacre, Jackie Sherrill
realized the error of his coaching ways and decided to create the ultimate defensive weapon — the
Twelfth Man Kicking Team.
Originally, Sherrill planned to have 12 members of the Corps of Cadets chasing down the
opposition on all home-game kickoffs in the fall.
He changed his mind after the non-regs starting complaining.
Sherrill got the idea while working on bonfire — those big, strong military types seemed perfect
for breaking people's heads. But after a little consideration, the coach decided he will open up the
tryouts to all students — even if they do have hair.
The Twelfth Man lives on — at least until it gets injured or red-shirted or loses its scholarship.
