The Battalion
Following in his father’s foot
steps, but taking on leadership
qualities of his own, Head Yell
Leader Scott Torn said he is
ready to take on the year and
lead the 12th Man.
“I was always fired up to be an
Aggie,” said Tom, a senior politi
cal science major from Sugar-
land. “I grew up singing the
Aggie War Hymn.”
His father was known as “Ag
gie Sam,” and was the head yell
leader in 1970. 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

“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

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.”

Crimestoppers programs are
already successfully running in
several local junior high and
high schools, Zdziarski said.
“It is an excellent program, a
tried and proven program that
works in the high school and
county levels,” Kretzschmar
said. “It is another approach
students can utilize to be in
volved in making A&M a safer
community;”
He said the logistical details
of the program are being worked
out, such as what phone number
will be used. However, Kret
zschmar said, Student Govern
ment hopes the program will be
ready for use before the fall se
mester ends.
Leslie said she is optimistic
about the program’s effects on
the A&M campus.
“If it solves or prevents just
one crime, then it will definitely
be worth it,” Leslie said.
