Page 8 The Battalion Tuesday, March 30,1993 Junior yell leader #1 Chris Howdy Ags! My name is Chris Thompson and I am a junior industrial engi neering and history major. My main focus for the '93-'94 school year for RHA is to promote awareness of the organization and there are four reasons why I will be the best man for the job: (1) Motivation - I have the de sire, energy, and determination necessary to lift RHA to its proper level on campus, and to imple ment programs that will be benefi cial to all Aggies, (2) Experience -1 have three years of hall council ex perience in T.O. Walton Hall in cluding serving as a Yellow Pot, hall president, and I have a year of direct RHA experience, (3) Lead ership - I am actively involved in many campus organizations that have given me the proper skills to professionally and effectively lead a group as important as RHA, and (4) Character - a good friend of mine always calls me by a particu lar name: Fightin' Texas Aggie Pee Wee; this means a great deal to me because I feel that someone who is in a position to represent the stu dent body should be a Good Ag'. I will be this kind of president for you. The RHA president works for you - so put me to work. #1 on the ballot is #1 for the job. Please vote Chris "Pee Wee" Thompson for RHA President. Thanks and Gig 'Em! ^2 Mark Howdy, My name is Mark Freeman and I am a Class of '94 education major from Hondo, who would like to be your next Residence Hall Association president. I have two and one-half years of active RHA experience as a former Ramp Representative, Walton Hall Council secretary and FLIP adviser. Currently, I am a member of the RHA Board of Directors where I am serving as the direc tor of facilities and operations (F&O). As the F&O director I have accomplished several objectives to help improve on-campus life. Most importantly, I wrote the proposal requesting a one-hour weekday visitation extension, I helped get the university-sup plied recycling containers for each hall, and I helped prevent lofts from being outlawed. I have always given 100 per cent .to RF1A for my fellow stu dents and will continue to do so as RHA president. I would appreciate your vote and support so that I can put my experience, desire and proven leadership to work for you. Howdy Ags! My name is Chip Breier and I am running for the position of Residence Hall Association presi dent. I am a Class of '95 Mechanical Engineer currently living in Wells Hall. I am the current treasurer for the Residence Hall Association. 1 worked closely with this year's president and other officers. For my involvement in the '91- '92 year, I was awarded Most Out standing General Committee Member. I believe my experience in the RHA would be of great benefit if I were elected president. If elected president, there are several things I would like to see accomplished. I would like to see the RHA put on bigger events that could be enjoyed by many resi dents; things like dances, holiday parties and tournaments between halls. Visitation is another thing that I would like to see worked on. I feel a solution to past problems with extending visitation can be reached. Dedication, organization and a desire to serve the residence hall residents are traits I feel the RHA president mus\ have. I possess these traits. Remember Chip Breier on elec tion day. Howdy! My name is David Bowles, and I am currently serving on the Resi dence Hall Association Executive Board as RHA secretary. This year we have accom plished more than I ever expected we would, including being named the "School of the Year." I want to see this tradition continue. I want you to consider three areas: expe rience, leadership and dedication. My experience as RHA secre tary has allowed me to further de velop my leadership and has proven my dedication. I support such issues as increased visitation hours, more co-ed hall space (with space available for those students who choose to live in single gen der halls), and making some non- air spaces available to women. I also experienced the role the RHA plays at the state level by at tending the Texas Residence Hall Association conference this spring. I will work to maintain a posi tive working relationship with other student organizations, stu dent affairs, and most importantly, listen to YOU and work for what YOU want. My door will always be open. Remember: David Bowles (#4 on the ballot) for RHA president!

My name is Chris Wiesenhut- ter, and I'm from Round Rock. It would be a privilege and an honor to be your junior yell leader. I'm full of Aggie pride and strongly believe in A&M, what it stands for, and the tradi tions we hold so dear. I would like to be a yell leader who represents EVERYONE, not just one segment of Aggieland. I'd also strive my best to be seen at places other than just yell practices and games. How can someone be a quality representa tive of A&M without trying to understand as much of the soci ety they are representing? It would be an honor to your next junior yell leader and keep the Aggie Spirit burning bright. Gig 'Em. #3 Brian Salini Howdy Ags, My name is Brian Salinas and I am from San Antonio here to tell you why I should be your next junior yell leader. Aggie spirit - it leads me to work in organizations such as SMAES, CAMAC, ARMY, and events like the Big Event and BONFIRE! I am deeply motivated and proud to call myself a Fightin' Texas Aggie. I am pro-traditions and proud to be a Twelfth Man. Next year if elected, I would help motivate the Twelfth Man and the playing athletes to beat the Hell outta anyone who plays against us, Ags. I will continue in the tradition of excellence and undying spirit here at Ag gieland, which being a Texas Ag gie is all about. Gig 'Em Ags. #5 David Latham] Howdy! My name is David Latham, a biomedical science major from Ar lington and I am an extremely mo tivated non-reg candidate for ju nior yell leader. I am very pleased to share with you my qualifications and motives for running for junior yell leader. I believe the thing that sets me apart is my dedication to the im provement of this university that I love so much. I was a member of the fightin' Texas Aggie Traditions Council, a member of Parents' Weekend Committee, and currently a mem ber of MSC Hospitality. Service to Texas A&M has given me a deeper love and respect for all A&M and Aggies around the globe stand for. I would be truly honored to give my heart and soul to the ser vice of Texas A&M and the Twelfth Man, but that decision is not mine to be made. It is yours, the student body. If there is one thing that I wish to convey to every Aggie on this great campus, it is that it is time for your Voice to be heard, and the only way to do that is to vote. I'm David Latham, number five on the junior yell leader ballot. Gig 'Em. Howdy Aggies. I'm Scott Jeffcoat a sophomore biomedical science major, from Cedar Hill. I'd like to tell you that THE BEST VOTE IS FOR JEFF COAT. I feel there are three things es sential to being a yell leader: you must be able to communicate with, represent and motivate the student body of Texas A&M. To COMMUNICATE with a student body this large, you must contact individuals through orga nizations. I'd like to get more orga nizations aware of upcoming events and urge them to inform and encourage their members to participate in more of the events and traditions at Texas A&M. Serving as a yell leader is full of time commitments and responsi bilities. After all, the Yell leaders REPRESENT over 40,000 students. It is critical that you select a repre sentative who is aware of the seri ousness of the task at hand and is genuinely enthused and motivated about working for Texas A&M. I am. I'm ready to inspire the Aggies and MOTIVATE the Twelfth Man right back to the Cotton Bowl. So vote for Lucky #7 because THE BEST VOTE IS FOR JEFF COAT. Gig 'Em. Voter Information Students can vote Wednesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the MSC, Sterling C. Evans Library, Blocker Building, Kleburg Center and Zachry Engineering Center. Voting is open to all students,, including graduating seniors. Stu dents need to bring their student I.D. with them to vote. The election results will be announced at midnight Thursday in front of the Lawrence Sullivan Ross statue. #2 Scott Tbi Howdy Aggies! My name is Scott "Rip" Torn, a sophomore political science major from Sugar Land, a member of Company F-2 of the Corps of Cadets, and I'm running for Fight in' Texas Aggie junior yell leader. Let me tell you something Ag gies; there are three things which I hold dearest to my heart - my faith, my family and the Fightin' Texas Aggie Spirit. It's that same spirit that moved E. King Gill out of the stands and on to the field as the Twelfth Man in 1922; the spirit that moves when a comrade answers "here" at Ag gie Muster; the spirit that links Greeks, non-regs, the Corps, Stu dent Government, and every other individual on this campus. Listen Ags, anyone can talk a good game and tell you what you want to hear but I will tell you that no one wants to represent the Twelfth Man more and no one lives and dies for Texas A&M like Ido. It's up to you, the student body to vote. Remember what true Aggie Spirit is, and that Scott Tom is #2 on the ballot. Thanks for your time and Gig 'Em. #4 Owen Rosr Howdy Ags! My name is Owen Ross. I'm a political science/business major from the thriving metropolis of Henderson. My desire and my drive to be YOUR junior yell leader is to make a difference at our university. The yell leaders are one of the most visible representatives of the Spirit and the entire student body here at Texas A&M. The Spirit here at Aggieland, that we all as Aggies hold dear to our heart, is burning inside of me just like the Fightin' Texas Aggie Bonfire! Next year as your junior yell leader, that spirit will be alive in side of me as I motivate the Fight in' Texas Aggies to beat the Ever- livin', Everlovin' HELL outta who ever the Fightin' Texas Aggie foot ball, basketball, or volleyball teams are playing!!! This Wednesday and Thursday, if you choose to vote for me, Owen Ross, as your junior yell leader, you will be selecting a "good Ag'' who will do his best to uphold the traditions, friendliness, and cama raderie that makes Texas A&M THE greatest university in the WORLD. A!-A!-A!-A!-A!!! #6 Scotf Howdy Ags! My name is Scott Whitaker and I am running for junior yell leader. I am a wildlife and fish eries major from Bowie and a proud member of the Corps of Cadets and the Class of '95. Not many schools boast more proud traditions than A&M. Symbols of student spirit range from the legend of the Twelfth Man to Aggie Muster to Reveille. Another proud tradition is the yell leaders. Yell leaders ex hibit Aggie Spirit to the highest degree. It is an honor and a priv ilege to serve as a junior yell leader and represent 41,000 Ag gies. I firmly believe that there are only two schools in this world and that's Sunday school and Texas A&M. I hold each of these schools' traditions deep in my heart. I hope that all Aggies feel the way I do about Texas A&M and vote for the best candidate, Scott Whitaker, to represent the best school, Texas A&M. Gig 'Em. HOWDY AGS!! My name is Trent Ashby and I'm an agriculture economics ma jor from Henderson running for junor yell leader! A wise Ag once said, "It's not the title or the position you pos sess, but it's the difference you make that counts." ARMY, Trent Ashby wants to make that difference for you and for Texas A&M by being a Fightin' Texas Aggie YELL leader! Ags, a YELL leader must be dedicated to making the sky fall at Texas A&M by bringing Texas A&M a little bit closer to heaven. Motivating, in spiring, leading and representing are what it's all about, and 1 pledge to do my best to live up to the standards we all have for YELL leaders! There are three types of YELL leaders: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who simply wonder what hap pened, and I promise to make things happen for you and for Ag gieland! REMEMBER, this year they're saving the best for last, so MAKE THAT SKY FALL and vote TRENT ASHBY, #8 on the ballot for junior YELL! GIG 'EM! Referendum This bill is to determine the opinions of the student body regarding a fee that would be earmarked for the library. If students approve this item, student leaders will meet with the Texas A&M University administration to work out the details of the fee before presenting it to the Board of Regents for final approval. David Brooks, the bill's author, said the idea behind the referendum is to bring A&M's libraries up to the level of those at other major univer sities, such as the University of Texas at Austin.
