|Here, last month, 922 good people
got a pin prick, and earned
themselves $46,000 cash
....and helped people they never knew!
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.

The horses, carrying junior and senior
cadets, circle the muddy field at
Fiddler’s Green.
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. .

ational sports, will conduct the review.
“I have given Tom whatever authority he
Fish Camp
perceives he needs for gathering information
from students and staff who will be affected
by the review,” Southerland said.
Chris Hart, an incoming Texas A&M fresh
man, died Aug. 17 after receiving a head in
jury during a flag football game at Fish Camp.

bly, where Fish Camp is held.
After lapsing into a coma late
