Joel Foshea
Candidate for Senior Yell Leader
Howdy Ags. My name is Tim Duffy,
junior yell leader, running for re-election as
a senior yell leader. I am a marketing major
from Colleyville, Texas, and a proud mem
ber of the Corps of Cadets, Company F-2.
It has been the biggest privilege and
honor this year to serve and represent the
Twelfth Man as this year’s junior yell leader.
1 have been proud to represent you at all of
those Aggie Mom’s Clubs, elementary
schools, and other Aggie interest groups on your behalf. But if
there’s one thing that I’ve learned this past year through all of
these things, I’ve found that it doesn’t matter what organization
you’re in or where you come from, but it has everything to do
with what is in your heart.
As we get ready for our second year in the Big 12,1 want to
show everyone what Aggie Spirit truly is, through my pride, loy
alty, class, energy, and devotion to A&M.
In short, as your senior yell leader, I want to be able to show
everyone what a Fightin’ Texas Aggie is all about. I am so excit
ed about next year and what Aggieland has in store for us.
Remember to vote and re-elect Tim Duffy for senior yell leader,
#7 on your ballot — I’ll make you proud. Thanks and gig ’em.
Brandon Meche
Candidate for Senior Yell Leader
I’m Joe Forman, an economics major
and a resident of Fowler Hall. I want to serve
you, the l\velfth Man, as Fighting Texas
Aggie senior yell leader.
Aggies, it feels GREAT to go to Texas A&M
... when you hear the thunder of the Twelfth
Man as the Fighting Texas Aggie Band
marches onto Kyle Field ... when you feel
the heat from the flames of Bonfire right
before we beat t.u... or when you’re walking
to class and a cute guy or girls says, “Howdy!”
Sometimes it hurts too... when you hear the bugles playing
Silver Taps... or you’re sitting in G. Rollie White and watch a can
dle being lit for a fallen Ag... or when you stare in disbelief at the
scoreboard and quietly sing the “'fWelfth Man.”
A yell leader must ba willing to lay it ALL on the line, in the
good and bad times. He must give his heart, hope and life. He
must be able to motivate the Twelfth Man in the thrill of a vic
tory and in the pain of a loss.
When I’m leading yells next year, I want you to say, “Joe
Forman is a GOOD yell leader.” More importantly, I want you to
say, “Joe Forman is a GREAT guy”... because he pours his heart
out every day for the glory of God and the Love of Aggieland and
realizes: It’s not about leading a yell, it’s about leading another
heart to the Aggie Spirit!
God bless and gig ’em.

Candidate for Senior Yell Leader
Howdy! My name is Brandon Meche.
I’m a junior marketing major from
Beaumont, and a proud member of the
Fighting Texas Aggie Corps of Cadets,
Squadron 1. I’m asking for your support in
re-electing me as senior yell leader. This
past year, I have had the extreme privilege
and honor as representing you as one of
your junior yell leaders. I can’t think of a
better school or group of people that 1
would ever want to drive all around the state to talk about
other than the Fighting Texas Aggies. Throughout this last year
I've experienced so much and learned a lot more about what
an Aggie really is and what sets them far beyond anyone else.
I’ve stood on the track at football games looking up at the
thousands of people yelling so loud for their team that I
couldn’t hear myself. I’ve seen little kids’ eyes light up when
they were told all about our traditions. And yes, I’ve even seen
several Lemon Chill lids soar past my head at the football
games. When you vote, elect someone who is wiling to make
every sacrifice to represent Texas A&M to the best of their abil
ity and who will do whatever it takes to bring all Ags together
and above any other university. Re-elect Brandon Meche for
senior yell leader, #5 on the ballot. Gig ’em!
Richard Rolison
Candidate for Senior Yell Leader
Kyle Sparkman
Candidate for Senior Yell Leader
Whoop! My name is Richard Rolison
and I’m running for senior yell leader for
the Fightin’ Texas Aggie TWelfth Man. I feel
that yell leaders have the opportunity to
make a positive impact on the community
as well as on our campus. Yell leaders repre
sent the student body before the Big 12, the
state, and the nation. That’s the spirit,
integrity, character, everything that makes
you proud to be an Aggie. Yell leaders must
be willing to give the best of themselves to bring out the best in
Texas A&M.
Before a yell leader can do that he has to have spirit, he must
be willing to live his life the right way rather than the easy way,
and be willing to lay it all on the line in order to make a positive
impact on someone’s life. Without spirit, there can be no ’fight
in’ in the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Spirit.
Finally Ags, being a yell leader means unifying the campus
by focusing on things that we all have in common, making for
mer and current students proud, and passing the spirit on to
future Aggies. When you and I look back on 1997,1 hope that
we can be as proud as when we look back on 1876. What are
you doing to pass along the spirit? I am running for senior yell
leader. Just get out and vote.

Candidate for |unior Ytll Leader
Howdy! I believe there are twaf
being a yell leader: representation'
motivation. Yell leaders obviously^
most visible element at Texas A&M ::
actions at varsity games represent
we as the body of Aggieland loot#
the rest of the world. Motivation,
other hand, seems to be the mo#
looked aspect of this position,T#
of a yell leader for one is to do tM
but their duty is also to keep the crowd motivated
times. When the varsity teams are triumphing 0®
opponents, the crowd is motivated by itself. But wb
Aggies are running behind, the crowd needs tobeW * 1
so as to help the team grasp victory. I feel that with n#|M
riences as a crew chief for Aggie Bonfire, I can serve 1"!
low Aggies by not only representing them but also W
them motivated for upcoming ’97-’98 season in the!
So be sure to come out and vote Wednesday and
for #3 on the ballot.
Bloop and gig ’em.
► Sam Blunsten
ing for your vote to represent Texas A&M as
a senior yell leader.
To be a yell leader for the TWelfth Man
would be the opportunity of a lifetime.
Through being involved in such organiza
tions as Student Government, the MSC,
Fish Camp, and the Corps, I have learned what it truly means to
be an Aggie and it has enabled me to be a representative of all
aspects of Texas A&M. It has instilled in me the desire to do
whatever I can to promote the spirit and tradition that makes
our university so great.
When you cast your vote on Wednesday and Thursday, vote
for a candidate that will make you proud. If I am elected, I will
do just that, and I pledge to be more than just a story teller and
a leader of yells. I pledge to do my part to ensure that when our
children and grandchildren attend A&M, they will have the
same love, devotion, and pride in their school that each and
every one of us has today.
To be elected would be a dream come true and I will live up
to the standards of what it is to be a yell leader. Remember, vote
#1 on the ballot and “IGNITE THEiSPlRTP'WITH SPARKMAN”
on election day. Gig ‘em.
Gig ’em! Howdy! Whoop! My name is
Jeremy Nelson. I’m a computer science
major from the small, rural community of
San Antonio. Some friends call me
“Reverend.” And I’m a Proud member of
the Fightin’ Texas Aggie RED ASS Class of
1998!
I believe that the Aggie Spirit is a living
thing. And it’s the Aggies’ motivation that
keeps it alive from year to year.
I believe that the duties of the yell leader are more than
just leading the yells with ENERGY, telling a good story and
looking sharp in a white uniform... a yell leader is called to do
more than that.
Yell leaders must, by the way they live out their Aggie
Spirit, trust in God and follow their hearts BE a role model to
other students! A yell leader has the opportunity and the duty
to try to make each of the students here at Texas A&M proud
to be Fightin’ Texas Aggies. What are you doing to ensure the
Spirit stays alive? I’m running for senior yell leader! Gig ’em!
