Dr. Roger Feldman, a slight man with a white mustache, is more than another voice in the crowd. Feldman, 59, and an associate professor of veterinary pathology, has been the public address an nouncer at various Texas A&M ath letic events since 1968. He believes that objectivity is essential to his an- nouncingjob. “A public address announcer is supposed to make statements that will be useful and helpful to the spectators of the game,” Feldman says. “It’s no more than that.” An announcer potentially has great power over a crowd, especially at indoor events such as basketball, Feldman says, because people are likely to listen to him. Wnat the an nouncer says makes it truth in the minds of the fans, regardless of whether what he says is true or not. “It’s kind of like radio announ cing,” Feldman says. “A radio an nouncer may say ‘Man, that was a terrible call.’ Nobody saw it, but it was a terrible call because that clown says it was. “It’s important to get out of the game. Be an announcer. Don’t be a spectator. If you’re going to be a spectator, go buy a seat and sit in the stands and you can yell as loud as you want.” Feldman’s practice of announcing every game impartially is one of the main reasons he was chosen to an nounce at the Southwest Conference Postseason Basketball Tournament for the past six years. Another facet of Feldman’s an nouncing philosophy is that the only important game is the one being played where he’s announcing, he says. This idea is supported by a pol icy, which began last fall, of not re porting football scores while a game is in progress. “Partial football scores aren’t worth the papier they’re written on or the words used to speak them,” Feldman says. “When the game is over. I’m going to read as many scores as I can get while people are going to their cars.” Since Feldman began announcing athletic events while in high school, his philosophy of maintaining neu trality while announcing has had plenty of time to develop. “I started the public address sys tem at our high school in 1941,” he says. “I have dabbled in voice work ever since. While Feldman has announced many games in his career, he admits to making a few mistakes. One vocal blooper that stands out in his mind involves a football play in le bal Texas A&M public address announcer Roger Feldman (above) — “It’s important to get out of Photo by J AIM LOM the game. Be an announcer. If you ’re going to be a spectator, go buy a seat and sit in the stands...” j which dead. the referee ruled the ball “I said that the quarterback was ruled dead,” Feldman says. “Some of my friends said, ‘It looked to me like he survived.’” But athletics is not all he an nounces. He’s the master of ceremo nies at about four horse shows a year, among other community events, and also has read names at every A&M commencement for 16 years. “I have read half or more of all the names for people who have ? raduated here since December of 969,” Feldman says. While Feldman, a graduate from Iowa State University, enjoys read ing names at graduation, as a profes sor he says he gets more gratification from helping people. “I’ve had the opportunity over the years to help some youn illeee with through college with athletia. Fell man says. “What you can do f is yourself is really not much. I’mc one p>erson, so I can’t achieve vei much, but every time I helpsonj body. I’ve expanded what role i what influence I may have had." >n On Sportswear at Shellenberger’s GUYS! Duckhead pants only $19.88! Regularly $27.50.
