All-XJ Night attempts to rewrite histi
A&M tradition enters a calmer era after administration threatened to stoptk
By Riley Lagrone
The Battalion
T housands of Aggies will crowd into
Kyle Field Wednesday night for Texas
A&M’s annual All University Night, a
sort of combination pep rally and seminar in
Aggie Traditions.
Hosted by the head yell leader, it is a
chance to introduce the sports teams and cam
pus leaders to the student body, welcome stu
dents back to the University and get everyone
excited about fall sports.
In addition, All-U Night is the first opportu
nity the University President has each year to
speak to students and a chance for upperclass
men to welcome the incoming freshman class.
Since its beginnings, All-U Night has
grown in popularity and attendance by leaps
and bounds.
The first All-U Night was held in G. Rollie
White Coliseum, with an audience of 2,000.
Only eight years later, attendance had
grown to 8,000 students, filling G. Rollie to
capacity.
By 1985, the crowd was so large it was im
possible to accommodate everyone who want
ed to attend, and the decision was made to
move the event to Kyle Field.
Things were going well at All-U Night un
til earlier this decade when things took a turn
for the worst.
Dorm competition, which had been gradu
ally increasing over the years, began to get
more and more heated, and profanity and vi
olence became more prevalent.
The situation reached its peak in 1992
when several injuries were reported. In addi
tion, two women filed sexual harassment
charges.
The administration felt it was time to step
in. If dorm leaders did not begin taking con
trol of the situation, All-U Night would be
come a thing of the past.
To many dorm leaders, All-U Night is an op
portunity to motivate freshmen and bring
their dorms closer together.
Aaron Hamby, a Moore Hall crew chief,
said although there have been problems in the
past, the focus of All-U Night can be motiva
tion and dorm unity.
“Because of the intensity level involved,
tempers can flare at All-U Night," Hamby said.
“Crew chiefs are always there to keep
everything under control. Forth;
it’s a good chance to compete-;
dorms and become a tighter unit

Continued from Page 3 A
A source of apprehension for
freshmen is their first experience
with a roommate.
Gregory said she remains opti
mistic about her new live-in com
panions.
“I think that if you go into a
roommate experience with the
idea that you can tolerate each
other’s differences and look for
the good in people you can work
through any problems you’ll have
with your roommate,” Gregory
said. “Unless they happen to be a
huge drug addict or something.”
The old axiom “twice as much
material in half the time” is still
thriving in high schools across
the nation.
Freshmen are surrounded by
little reminders that they are not
in high school anymore.
Kim Twiggs, a freshman bio
chemistry major, described her
first experience with accelerated
course work.
“I was looking forward to
classes starting,” Twiggs said. “At
least until I went to the bookstore
and realized I have six books just
for chemistry.”
Each semester, countless A&M
students go through the ritualized
mantra of studying more, partying
the same amount and getting
back into shape.
This fall, the freshman class
begins the cycle again.
“I’m hoping for late-morning,
early afternoon classes so that if I
need to wake up early and study
I can,” Garza said. “Right now I
have a few two-hour gaps in my
classes that I’ll use to study so I
can socialize at night. Hopefully
that will work.”
Study habits and college living
aside, the A&M experience is
about what happens outside of
the classroom and at home.
“I’m going to think about
where my interests are and go see
what kinds of things are out there
for me,” Twiggs said. “I’ll realize
what I really want to do and find
