They sat back on big leather lounge chairs and relaxed or studied for exams. They exchanged recipes, talked about love, children, life, happenings, boys, girls, politics, tomorrow, french class, car repair, baseball, fishing, and delivering kittens. In 60 minutes they were up and away, cash in hand, feeling good. You have never opened a door on a friendlier place and the regular extra money is very nice. Everybody needs you.

Wade Mulcock, commanding officer of Parsons’ Mounted Cavalry, leads the pro cession, saber in hand. Two platoons of thirty cadets and horses follow behind, practicing the march-in they will perform before Saturday’s football game at Kyle Field. Gladys, the oldest horse in the Cavalry, stands quietly at the sideline, legs spread and head down, watching the work. The horse is at least 25 years old, and has .served in the Cavalry since it was re established at A&M in 1973. The Cavalry, which flourished at A&M until World War II, was disbanded when the U.S. Army dismissed it’s horse units because of the introduction of mechanized warfare. Mulcock said the Cavalry, which is the only mounted ROTC unit in the nation, was revived in 1973 to bring back one of A&M’s unique traditions. “This year we have the largest cavalry we’ve had since 1973,” Mulcock said. “We’ve got 69 members, 31 horses and two mules.” Mulcock said the Cavalry is different from any other special unit in the Corps. “There is a responsibility factor working with the horses,” Mulcock said. “If somebody isn’t out there twice a day feeding them, they’ll die. That teaches you responsibility.” Landry Watson, the Cavalry’s second platoon leader, said sophomore and junior cadets perform the most difficult work. . “The sophomores spend two to three Kevin Woodroof, a sophomore agricu!.
