There are now more than 400
Musters observed throughout the
U.S. and the world. Musters are
held in places as widespread as
Africa and Europe. Regardless of lo
cation, however, they all follow a
similar ceremonial event and roll
call.
Stanley said he encourages all
students to attend Muster and
show their support.
“I think it’s every Aggie’s re
sponsibility to support the tradition
of Muster and cement the founda
tion of togetherness," he said. “One
day all of our names will be on the
roll call.”
The tradition of Muster still con
tinues strong, as evident in the
planning and work put forth by the
Muster Committee.

Muster and a freshman speech
communications major, said she
chose to volunteer with the Muster
Committee because it emphasizes
the ideal of "once an Aggie, always
an Aggie.”
As a first generation Aggie, she
said Muster shows how current and
former students at A&M take care
of each other.
“Muster means a lot to me: it’s a
symbol of respect for people who
have gone before us," Faimon said.
“The closest I can get to them is to
work with Muster."

"Muster is an unbiased insur

come to the University — no mat

the Academic Plaza to honor the
Class of 1949.

The Reed Arena doors will open

Singing Cadets will perform at 6:45.
Friends and families of former
students will participate in the "Roll
Call for the Absent.” a candle light

have gone. "Taps" and a 21-gun
salute will end the ceremony.
“I am honored and humbled to
be on Muster Committee," Vandav
eer said. “It is the least I can do for
the University knowing that in the
