This week “howdy” can mean
bore than just the customary Aggie
greeting.
Texas A&M Traditions Council
nembers will give gift certificates to
itudents who use the salutation to
commemorate Howdy Week.
Saying “howdy” is one of Texas
A&M’s biggest and longest-standing
"^aditions, Mike Dvoracek, Student
fovernment’s Traditions Council
hairman, said.
“The practice is slowly becoming
part of A&M’s history,” said Dvora
cek, a 22-year-old recreation and
parks major from Lubbock.
Head yell leader Doug Beall said,
“A&M has the reputation of being a
friendly university, but the ‘howdy’
tradition is disappearing. Howdy
Week will hopefully revive the
friendly spirit of the student body,
and saying ‘howdy’ will be around
for many years to come.”
For students with a somewhat le
thargic attitude toward A&M’s tradi
tions, the Traditions Council will of
fer prizes from local restaurants,
clubs and ice cream shops to every
person who says “howdy” to a coun
cil member.
Also, if a Traditions Council
member observes students or faculty
members saying “howdy” to the
Lawrence Sullivan Ross statue, they
will receive a special Howdy Week
gift certificate.
According to the University Ar
chives files, incoming freshmen in
the Corps of Cadets are instructed to
greet the statue, Dvoracek said.
“It is ‘good bull’ to be sociable to
Sully,” he said.
Other special Howdy Week items
include T-shirts that say “Just Say
Howdy.” They will be sold for $7
each, council member Todd Guidry
said, and will be available all week in
the MSC.
Howdy Week customarily is held
in the spring, with the Howdy Dance
highlighting the week. This semes
ter’s Howdy Week will climax with
the Aggies’ away game at Baylor.
Besides Howdy Week, the 26-
member committee annually spon
sors the upcoming Switch-off for
Kick-off football game, where social
roles are exchanged and women in
vite men to the game. The commit
tee produces promotional television
commercials about the University
and conducts a traditions awareness
program for various student organi
zations and visiting conventions as
well, Guidry said.
Dvoracek said the council’s goal is
to make students aware of A&M’s
tradition-based heritage.
“We hope Howdy Week is instru
mental in reaching that goal,” he
said.

burglaries in the city and county.
“My personalities took me over,”
little told the San Antonio Light, ex
plaining why he had fled the state
hospital. “The next thing I knew, I
was laying out in a field with no
clothes and no money.”
During his well-publicized trial
last year, testimony showed that
Little’s multiple personalities in
cluded a teen-ager named Buck, a
black man named Flash and an 11-
year-old boy who loves Captain Kan
garoo and Zorro.
Detectives said that since his es
cape, Little has been Buck, “Jerry
Newton” and Len Little, but during
Sunday’s arrest he answered to his
own name.

Little said he left the hospital be
cause “they treat you really bad.”
About 4 p.m. Sunday, police said
two men wearing stockings over
their heads walked into a city jewelry
store and held up the owner and his
wife, taking about $2,000 worth of
jewelry from a display case.
One man was armed, police said.
Later, as narcotics Detective
Frank Randolph headed south on
Interstate 37 about 6 p.m., he
spotted a stolen car matching the de
scription of the getaway car in the
robbery.
Police said Randolph followed the
car to an ice house, where a man got
into another car with two women.
Later, police learned that Little was
getting into his sister’s car so that she
and a woman companion could take
him back to the hospital.
Detectives said his sister had been
looking for him since his escape and
found him Sunday evening along a
city highway. She was following him
to the ice house to pick him up and
take him to the hospital, police said.
When police arrested Little, he al
legedly was armed with a small pis
tol. Police still were looking for the
other man involved in the jewelry
store robbery.
Little was charged in connection
with robbery, unauthorized use of a
vehicle and expired license plates
late Sunday.
He was sentenced in September
1986 to five years after he was found
mentally competent to stand trial for
an aggravated robbery in 1984.
