Aggie Moms' name new president Ewe Hall
By Joey Jeanette Schlueter
The Battalion
The installation of the new president of the Fed
eration of Aggie Moms’ Club was held in the
Memorial Student Center Saturday, as part of Par
ent’s Weekend.
Karon Haas, a member of the Comal County
(New Braunfels) Aggie Moms’ Club, was named as
the new president.
This marks the seventh year Haas will serve on the
federation board. Haas is the wife of Harvey Haas, class
of’59. She has three daughters, two of which are Aggies.
This year also marks the 75th anniversary of the
formation of the first Aggie Moms’ Club.
Haas said strength has kept the Aggie Moms’
Club going for so long.
“In all the years since I have been a part of this
organization, it has grown larger and stronger,”
Haas said, “and I am convinced it will continue on
that path."
Haas said that being president is a great honor,

About 150 members from the Class of ’47 also will
be attending the barbecue and the ceremony, cele
brating their 50-year reunion.
Many of the members of the Class of ’47 were only
able to spend their freshman year together as a class,
before leaving for World War II.
Vandaveer said that for some of the class, this will
be the first time they have been with their class
since they graduated from A&M.
“They all began at the same time, but they did not
necessarily end together,” she said, “so this is a big
homecoming for some of them.”
The Muster committee is expecting a larger
and she plans to increase Aggie Mom involvement.
“There is so much we can do as mothers — not
just support,” she said. “We can set an example for
others.”
Brenda McDaniel, a member of the Lafayette Ag
gie Moms’ Club, said Haas’ love for Aggies is evident
in her support of the school.
“Haas represents us well,” McDaniel said. “With all
of the clubs in the nation, there are a lot of Aggie Moms
who look to the president for guidance and motivation.”
There are 112 clubs throughout Texas and the
United States with a total membership in excess
of 7,000.
About $300,000 was raised by the organization
last year to support scholarships and campus or
ganizations.
Much of this money is raised by the Aggie Moms’
Boutique, a craft show during Parents’ Weekend.
The Aggie Moms’ Boutique was held in Duncan
Dining Center, and participating clubs had booths
of Aggie crafts ranging from Christmas ornaments
to Dixie Chicken coops.
group of people to attend Muster this year, because
it falls so close to Parent’s Weekend. The committee
expects some parents will remain in College Station
today to attend Muster.
After G. Rollie White Coliseum is full, additional
seating will be available in Rudder Auditorium
where people can watch Muster via satellite.
Vandaveer said she is excited that some parents
will attend Muster who previously may not have had
an to do so before. She said some parents may not
understand the love their children have for A&M,
and that this ceremony is an example of the power
and the emotion of the Aggie Spirit.
Vandaveer said she cherishes the tradition of Muster,
because it guarantees that all Aggies will be honored.
“It’s a promise I’ll always be remembered,” Vandav
eer said. “Someone will answer, ‘Here,’ for me.”

“I feel 1 did something that every
body should be doing,” Wood said.
“I don’t feel like I did something nec
essarily outstanding.”
Howell said that at other univer
sities such as Indiana and Mar
quette, the business programs offer
college credit to students for volun
teer work in a business that needs it.
She said she is trying to propose a
similar program at A&M.
“The emphasis on community
service in the number of student
service organizations is here, but
it is yet to be integrated into the
curriculum,” Howell said.
Three other A&M students,
Robert Coward, a senior business
administration major, Richard
Rolison, a junior biological sci
ences major and Heather John
son, a freshman math and sci
ence major, received Governor’s
certificates in honor of their com
munity service efforts signed by
Gov. George W. Bush.
