os si£i"iiirssiirii < smrum m ^ Senior Yell Leader Steve Coan Engineering Technology Howdy Ags. My name is Steve Coan, and I am seeking re-election for senior yell leader. 1 am an en gineering technology major from Stephen- ville, Texas, but my real home is in College Station with the Fightin' Texas Aggie Cadet Corps. Through my experience as a junior yell leader, I have learned what it takes to do the job — hard work, pride in Aggie traditions and an undying love for Texas A&M. If elected, I’ll continue to give 110 percent to motivate the yell leaders and the Twelfth Man in order to get us back into the Cotton Bowl, to beat the hell outta everyone in all Aggie sports and to get Aggie friendliness back on track. Gig ’em! Waylan Cain Animal Science Howdy Ags! My name is Waylan Cain. I am a junior yell leader seeking re-election for senior yell leader. Conroe is my home town. Being in the Corps, Company D-l, has given me the opportunity to learn many A&M traditions and much of the history of Aggieland, but being a junior yell leader has given me more. I know that the power of the Twelfth Man lies in all students at Texas A&M. not just a few organizations. I want to bring all students together and unify all Aggies in the Twelfth Man spirit. Next year I would also like to bring more recognition to student activities and spring sports. Go vote, and remember, “Leading yells and raising Cain. . . again!” I would appreciate it. Gig ‘em. Pat Kiely Petroleum Engineering Howdy, my name is PAT KIELY. I’m from Palestine, Texas and I want to be your senior yell leader. Being a student and a member of the Corps of Cadets for the past three years has given me first-hand knowl edge of what it means to be an Aggie. Yell leaders are among the most highly visible representatives of the Fighting Aggie Spirit. To be a yell leader, a man must have leadership ability. More importantly, a per son must be filled with Aggie spirit, love and pride. I would be honored to represent the Twelfth Man, and will do my best to rep resent A&M with pride and enthusiasm. Re member, on March 30: “Call on Kiely” for senior yell leader! Gig ‘em! Cliff Neel History Howdy Aggies! My name is Cliff Neel and I am running for senior yell leader. I am a history major from Friendswood, Texas. I have been an Aggie all of my life. My dad, Jerry Neel, Class of ’65, started taking me to midnight yell practice as soon as I could walk. I have not missed many Aggie football games in Kyle Field. Going to games in the “rough” football years taught me that regard less of the outcome of a game, 1 should still be proud to be an Aggie. I love Aggie sports and being an Aggie. Most importantly, as a Christian, I think I can help bring to Aggie land the kind of uniting spirit that would make A&M undoubtedly the greatest Uni versity in the world. Be a part of next year's story — “Keep the Spirit in Aggieland.” Vote Cliff Neel for senior yell leader. . Ed Allred Building Construction Howdy Ags! I’m Ed Allred and I'd be honored to represent you as a senior yell leader. I’m a proud member of the Corps of Cadets and am eager to uphold the traditions that make Texas A&M great. One of my goals is to raise support for the Lady Ags and spring sports while strengthening the spirit we share for our football team. Being a yell leader means upholding Aggie spirit on and off the field. This means a lot to me, and given the opportunity I will make this my first priority. Remember, on March 30 check number three on the ballot and Be Led by Ed. Gig ‘em! Troy Greaves Mechanical Engineering Howdy; got a story for you Aggies! Whoop! It seems Rock the Ag was looking for somebody to vote for on Thursday the March 30. He looked at all the other candi dates, Aggies! Whoop! He came across a good Ag named Troy Greaves, Aggies! Rock said, “I’m voting for Troy because he has the burning desire to beat the hell out of t.u. and would represent A&M well as se nior yell leader.” Jud Chappell Animal Science Howdy! My name is Jud Chappell and I’m a junior animal science major running for senior yell leader. I believe that an Aggie yell leader should be someone with the over flowing SPIRIT and PRIDE that makes your heart pump during the war hymn and makes it bleed during Muster, as well as a background in leadership responsibilities. That’s me and that is what it’s going to take to pull the Twelfth Man back together after a difficult season in 1988. This is not only true for Aggie football, but for every sport recog nized at A&M. All of these students are out there representing the Aggies and they all deserve some credit. So when you get to campus on March 30, don’t forget; “JUST YELL JUD” for senior yell leader.
