Torn’s grandfa ther, Class of ‘38, was the first in Tom’s family to take on the nick name “Rip.” Tom and his father both used the name as well. “I figured I’d keep the family tradition going,” Tom said. Torn is in Company F-2, where he serves as executive offi cer for the outfit. Lt. Col. Tom Owen, executive officer of the Army ROTC De partment and military advisor for F-2 , said Tom has had a major influence on the company. “Scott has been an outstand ing asset to F-2,” Owen said. “He has always been there for the guys in the outfit.” The yell leaders have been on a tight schedule since the sum- mer began, Senior Yell Leader leir police liaisotl Scott Whitaker said. ,hem if a tip ledtk “We have spoken at the new student conferences, to Mother’s etzschmar saidj® Clubs, A&M Clubs, F'ish Camps, ppers helped: • an d T-Camps,” Whitaker said, luding an inciil “We’ve had a busy summer.” were stolenfroml Traditionally, the head yell id another inciil; leader works out with the football seating a serial Eli team before the fall semester be- he county Crime: i *y helpful in sob ■ have resulted in • 51 cases clearei: investigated wen on of stolen prop l million of illegal lestoppers, Paj fall gins. Torn attended football practice from Aug. 9 to Aug. 26. He trained with the team and helped them get motivated for the upcoming season. “They look big, they look tough, and they look fast,” Tom said. “Working out with the team has given me the oppor tunity to bridge the gap between athletes and students.” Torn said he takes his responsi bilities as head yfell leader seriously. “I think you are put in the position of head yell leader to set the tone for Ag gies,” Torn said. “We all want to set the tone for the Aggies, and let everyone know that the 12th Man doesn’t only exist on Kyle Field. We have to support all our teams.” Student Body President Brooke Leslie said she believes Torn will be successful in fulfill ing all his duties. “Scott is probably one of the most dedicated and loyal Aggies I’ve ever known,” Leslie said. “He does an outstanding job of transforming that love into lead ership.” The responsibilities of the yell leaders this year include keeping up Aggie spirit while the Univer sity is on probation by the NCAA. However, Torn does not think Stew Milne/THE Battalion Head Yell Leader, Scott Torn, stands in front of 12th Man statue. probation will affect the fans or the athletes. “If anything, more people will be coming out to the games,” Tom said. “It hasn’t affected the athletes at all. They get the same feeling everyone else does when the band plays the War Hymn or the Spirit of Aggieland.” Torn hopes to make the most of his position by promoting spirit and pride. “There are certain things the 12th man is responsible for,” Torn said. “I want to get out there and make a difference. And I’d like to see plays stopped at Kyle Field because the oppos ing quarterback can’t hear over the 12th Man.” Student Loans The First National Bank supports students in their pursuit of higher rapid disbursement of funds education!
