Senior yell leader
Five students will become yell
leaders for the 1993-1994
school year, Thursday at
midnight, barring a run- off
election. The yell leaders are
responsible for raising and
maintaining Aggie spirit at
sport events, yell practices.
Fish Camp and summer
conferences. The yell leaders
also travel all over the state
promoting Texas A&M and its
traditions.
The student body elects two
junior and three senior yell
leaders each spring. The
elections are open to any
student in their second or third
year at A&M who has a
minimum 2.3 GPA.
#1 Ric Goj
Howdy,
My name is Ricardo "Ric"
Gonzalez, a junior political sci
ence major from San Benito (the
last McDonald's before South
Padre Island) and candidate #1
for senior yell leader.
I want to be your senior yell
leader because I am ready to Ac
tivate, Rejuvenate, Motivate and
Yellate the hell outta KYLE
FIELD. I'm ready to lead and
represent the heart, soul and
spirit of AGGIELAND, the Fight-
in' Texas Aggie Twelfth Man at
all athletic and special events.
I feel I am the best qualified to
be a senior yell leader due to the
leadership, personable, and moti
vational characteristics gained
through my involvement in T-
Camp, Howdy Camp, Student
Government, MSG Student Pro
grams and Student Activities.
Finally, I want to be your se
nior yell leader to have the op
portunity to continue to unite
and link this diverse and 'world
class' university to become the
model university for the entire
world.
In closing, I would like to
challenge the Student Body to
two things: (1) GO out and
VOTE!!! and (2) continue to keep
Texas A&M the friendliest cam
pus in the world.
My name is Bryan Bullington.
I'm a junior environmental de
sign major from Dallas and a
member of the Fighting Texas
Aggie Corps.
I'm running for the office of
senior yell leader.
Being a yell leader encompass
es many aspects of leadership. I
believe that being a yell leader is
one of the highest honors that
can be bestowed upon an indi
vidual.
Yell leader involves so much
more than being down on the
track at football games. It in
volves being committed to
spreading the pride and spirit of
Texas A&M to all facets of the
University. Whether it be at Fish
Camp, Aggie Mom's Clubs, or
student groups on campus, I
want the opportunity to repre
sent Texas A&M as an ambas
sador.
I feel that being a leader is the
most important characteristic of a
yell leader. Both on and off the
field, I will exude characteristics
of high moral standards and in
tegrity.
It is my hope that as students
and alumni look down on the
track they can be proud of the
people that represent the school
they hold dear to their heart.
I commit to being a person
that Aggies can be proud of by
allowing my spirit, heart, and
soul to shine as I share the defini
tion of Aggieland to those from
every walk of life.
#5 Chris Kelli
Howdy Ags,
My name is Chris Kelly and I
am a junior psychology major
from Dallas.
Senior yell leader is a position
of leadership, dedication and tra
dition. I believe I would be an ef
fective leader who is dedicated to
upholding the traditions of Texas
A&M. I am willing to work hard
and accept the responsibilities
and commitment.
As the last of six brothers and
sisters to attend A&M, I know
that being an Aggie is special,
and I would be honored to repre
sent the best university in the
country as a senior yell leader.
I hope to raise support for
men's and women's athletics.
bonfire, and all other student ac
tivities that carry on Aggie tradi
tions.
My goal is to let everyone
know how great Aggieland is by
leading the Spirited Fighting
Texas Aggie Twelfth Man. So
let's get fired up Ags!
God Bless and Gig 'Em.
^8 Jesse Mi
HOWDY AGS!
My name is Jesse Mills and
my campaign slogan is "The
Steer Stops Here!"
I'm a junior business major
from Frost and I'm a member of
the Class of '94 Council, T-Camp
1993, Financial Service Organiza
tion, and the Pre-Law Society.
I bleed maroon blood. I've
wanted to attend Texas A&M
since I was first told about the
school when I was six years old.
After my first visit, when I
was a freshman in high school, I
knew I'd always be an Aggie. I
met the yell leaders during that
visit, and I decided then that I
would run for yell leader when I
arrived here.
It took three scholarships and
working two jobs to get here and
that makes me love and appreci
ate Texas A&M even more.
Texas A&M has unity and
spirit that no other school has.
I want to be more than just a
part of that spirit, I want to a
leader of it. I believe in A&M and
will always stand by it, during the
good times and especially the bad.
I'm a non-reg who wants to
represent the Spirit of the
Twelfth Man for all Aggies, but I
want to especially represent the
38,000 non-reg students.
Come see me in action at the
yell leader forum at 6:30 Tuesday
night in the MSG Flagroom.
Be ready to rock the house
and bounce off the walls! Re
member Ags, your Aggie Spirit is
the reason why - "The Steer
Stops Here."
#2 Mike H<
Excitement, that's right, excite
ment. This is what the senior yell
leader position calls for, and this
is what Mike Healy will deliver.
Right now, I want you to
think about something that ex
cites you, be it a brunette,
blonde, or red head, be it that
special day you were accepted to
Texas A&M or that day you re
ceived a bid from your fraternity
or sorority, or maybe the day the
Cowboys won it all. I want you
to get excited. That's my job.
When I need excitement I
think about Aggie Bonfire, Ele
phant Walk, Muster or the Big
Event.
This campaign has been a real
eye-opener. I have never been
this proud of my fellow Ags. I
have met a lot of great people
and will love to see them at the
polls.
I want to be your yell leader,
that means that I am here for you
to call upon; to come to your in
dividual meetings to get y'all ex
cited. I have a responsibility to
the Aggie athletes and to the
Twelfth Man and will execute
this job to the best of my abilities.
Remember every vote is impor
tant, proof of not enough good
Ags voting is now seen in the
Oval Office.
So Ags, remember me, Mike
Healy, when you go to vote. Re
member #2 on the ballot. Re
member that Aggies never lose,
they just might not be ahead
when the time runs out.
God Bless. Gig 'Em.
#4 Steve 1
Howdy Ags,
My name is Steve Scanlon, a
political science major from San
Antonio.
This year I'm running for re-
election to senior yell leader.
Being a yell leader, as a junior,
gave me the chance to represent
something far beyond what most
could comprehend and that is
Aggie Spirit.
This year I hope I am able to
re-instill this Aggie Spirit within
the Twelfth Man and help return
the Fightin' Texas Aggies to the
Cotton Bowl.
The position of yell leader car
ries with it a great sense of pride
and love for Texas A&M.
Football games are only a taste
of what being a yell leader js all
about. From orientation pro
grams, Fish CampsV’humerous
mothers' clubs across the state to
the volleyball and basketball
games during the spring, I have
had a fantastic opportunity to
show others what we all feel here
at Texas A&M.
Furthermore, I can't explain
what being a junior yell leader
has meant to me, and come
March 31st and April 1st, I hope
you will, again, give me the
chance to represent you as your
senior yell leader.
Remember Steve Scanlon, #4
on the ballot for senior yell
leader.
#6 Mark Rol
Howdy Aggies!
My name is Mark Rollins, a
junior civil engineering major
from Arlington, and I am run
ning for re-election to senior yell
leader.
This past year I was privi
leged to serve the Fightin' Texas
Aggie Twelfth Man as a junior
yell leader. With your support I
will carry on the traditions of a
Yell Leader, and together we can
take the Aggie football team back
to the Cotton Bowl for a victory
on January 1.
However, being a yell leader
is much more than simply repre
senting A&M at football games.
A yell leader speaks at new stu
dent conferences. Fish Camps,
yell practices, mothers' clubs.
elementary schools, summer
camps, and numerous other
events across the state and na
tion. A yell leader also leads the
Twelfth Man at various other
sporting events such as volley
ball, softball and basketball.
This university has given me
much through organizations
such as Class Council, Student
Government, Fish Camp, the
MSG, and the Corps of Cadets.
To continue to contribute to the
University through the position
of senior yell leader would be a
dream come true.
Remember that you have a
voice in who should lead the
Twelfth Man next year with spir
it, dedication and motivation. If
re-elected I will do just that.
REMEMBER-"ROLL WITH
ROLLINS" on election day.
Gig 'Em.
#9 Greg Rie)
Howdy, my name is Greg Riels
and I am running for senior yell
leader.
I am a finance major from King-
wood, and a member of Company
E-2 in the Corps of Cadets.
When I came here in the sum
mer before my freshman year, I
knew nothing about this school
and even less about it's traditions.
I was going into the Corps, and I
had heard rumors that my fresh
man year was going to be just
loads of fun - on top of that, I
wasn't real big on "humping it" in
front of my parents in Rudder.
I could never see myself in a go
rilla costume telling people where
to park for Fish Camp.
I was not too thrilled to be in
Aggieland. But now I am, and
more than I can explain. You see, I
was fortunate to meet people who
taught me what it meant to be a
true Aggie. Whether I got to know
them through the Corps, Student
Government, Muster, traveling
with Rev, or Fish Camp, they all
taught me that people are what is
most important and what makes
this place so very special. That is
why I want to be Yell Leader - to
give something back to the student
body who has given me so much.
I want to make that Aggie spirit
grow within you, and encourage
you to show it off. A great deal of
that takes place on Kyle Field and
in G. Rollie White, but it's much
more - it's about setting the exam
ple of being an Aggie and exempli
fying Aggie spirit.
I would be honored to be your
senior yell leader and continue the
legacy we are living.
