Football fans who were not as fortunate to get
front row tickets missed a really good show this
weekend ... on and off the field. Apparently, one
of our Yell Leaders interrupted the precision
timing and teamwork of the Baylor “trainers”
(the highly skilled and disciplined Water Cup
Fill Team (WCFT).
The WCFT felt they needed more space than
provided and decided the guy in white was in the
way. So much in fact, they requested the help of
another highly skilled and disciplined team; the
UPD. The UPD then proceeded to harass our Yell
Leader for the next quarter of the game. I am not
trying to imply that Yell Leaders are above the
law; however, the only thing this Yell Leader was
guilty of was doing his job and doing it well.
There are an estimated 150 people on the
sideline and they all seemingly have some func
tion. The WCFT fills water cups, the UPD pa
trols the sidelines for heinous acts, and the Yell
Leaders lead the 12th Man in cheering our team
to victory. It is a shame that others cannot
share in the spirit of the games as the Yell Lead
ers. Instead, they must whine about cup space
and enforce obscure rules (if any rules at all)
about where Yell Leaders can and cannot stand.
I am sure the visiting team’s bench at Kyle Field
can be a very stressful environment. I realize
the AWCFT (Average Water Cup Fill Time) will
probably be up some this week for BU. However,
I hope the next time they come to Kyle Field,
they understand what “home field advantage”
(currently the best advantage in the nation)
means. I hope that the UPD can also get a grip
on this concept. I commend the Yell Leaders
who hung in there despite all the distractions.
Keep up the good work and stand your ground!
a majority of the student body is conservative.
I do not recall while filling out myappli
to this university a question asking whe
was conservative or liberal.
Was it somewhere near the questions a
gender and ethnicity? No, I don’t thinkso,
fed up with individuals producing statistics
cannot be proven.
Maybe “y’all” will be more comfortable
Perhaps A&M is conservative, but everytj
about A&M does not have to be.
Baird also had a problem with a recent edit
about homosexuals. ITie key word in that
is “editorial” - an opinion. He has the right to In
his opinion and beliefs about homosexuals, but j
the editors of the Batt. He may have heardot
it is called the First Amendment.

Aggies should respect opinions
NOW HIRING ADDITIONAL
BARTENDERS
On Oct. 12 I read a letter showing the igno
rance of the writer Joe Baird. In his letter he
stated, “I feel that a university paper should re
flect the views and opinions of the student body,
not a small minority of it.” The so-called small
minority addressed was liberals. First of all, I
feel the purpose of The Battalion in my opinion
is not to produce conservative or liberal columns,
but assist individuals like Baird to be more open-
minded toward new ideas of which they are obvi
ously unmindful.
I am confused on where he receives his facts that
Elizabeth Preston’s Oct. 17 column abi
difficulties in college gave me pause. As
her column, l thought, how sad for her. Loi
no friends, no fun, nothing but study,
study for two years.
Then, 1 thought, that cannot be. She’s pn
ticulate, smart, imaginative. She cannot hi
such a lonely time for two years in suchafrii
place as Texas A&M. Perhaps, I thought, since
is a columnist for The Battalion, the deadline
her, and she had to come up with a topic.
Even so, she spoke of loneliness,no frier
fun, nothing but study.
But, then, life is like that. Even atTexasAI
life is what you make of it. Nobody is goingto
anything for you. You have to do it all yourself,
you have no friends, it’s up to you to make some
you have no fun, it’s up to you to find fun.
Toward the end of her column, she saidfhir ^ em out o(
h;i(l changed. She has friends, great friends,acts ■ camatlons
ly, so she is no longer lonely. College is still toiij
though, and she has to study more, but she filicides

her. Things are going her way at last.
However, I take issue with her statementsti sorj-AU-
college is a transitional state and that “Non jhe U S. r
knows exactly what they will be doing in four yean la !i with flak
College never has been a transitional state! Is, expect
is a preparatory state, designed to prepareji p[bat or disc
for life and for your career. It’s true thatnia: The only thr
students, even seniors, still have no firm care* 80 far ali to
goals. But the great majority do and are
ed to achieving them.
If FYeston remains uncertain of her career
tial, she should speak to her adviser or to the Si
dent Counseling Service in Henderson
