Any Aggie who buys an automobile trom
Huftines is guided upstairs to see the mahogany
case, and the Aggie wonderland that is Huftines’
office. It is filled with paraphernalia. His favorite
piece is a picture of himself at the 1967 Cotton Bowl
when the Aggies beat Alabama. In the picture,
Huftines, who sat on the Cotton Bowl selection
committee for 20 years, stands next to Aggie college
football legends Gene Stallings and Bear Bryant.
Huftines still attributes many of his values to
the Corps of Cadets, even his survival through
the Battle of the Bulge and his overseas commis
sion as one of Patton’s “ghost troops” in the
Ardennes, Rhineland and Central Europe.
“I give my training at A&M and the Corps
credit for saving my life in War World II,” he said.
“It taught you how to survive, how to exist, how
to get along with and respect your fellow man. I
learned how to make judgments, dictate responsi
bility and accept responsibility, which is just as
important. It was all a real lifesaver."
So in the legend of Patton’s famous words,
“Give me an army of West Point Grads and I’ll
win a battle, give me a handful of Texas
Aggies and I’ll win a war,” he may have had
Huffines in mind.
Huffmes gained a heart for education at
A&M. He has donated several scholarships to the
University and a large chair endowment to the
College of Education.
“More than anything, he just wants to see
A&M successful,” Mohr said.
A former president of the 12th Man
Foundation, Huffines said for years he
attended every home and away football
game. Now, he only makes it to the home
games, but his contribution as a member of
the Twelfth Man still remains.
"Muster to me is one of the most outstanding
traditions. It’s a good opportunity to renew
friendships,” Huffines said. “We live such a fast
life, and we don’t often get to see those friends
as much as we like. The good thing about A&M
is that, no matter what, those friendships last for
a lifetime.”
Muster began when the March 1923 issue of
the Texas Aggie alumni magazine advised, “If
there is an A&M man in one-hundred miles of
you, you are expected to get together, eat a little,
and live over the days you spent at the A&M
College of Texas.”
Today, there are 400 Musters held worldwide
every year on April 21. The most famous took
place at Corrigador Island during World War II,
and the biggest is held on the A&M campus,
which honors lost Aggies from Brazos County.
A candle will be lit as the name of each Aggie
who died in the past year is called. Families and
friends will answer “here.”
Hometown Aggie clubs will honor their fallen
at smaller Musters this Sunday.
“The beauty of Muster is that it is not bound to
any geographical location,” said Noelle Eason,
Muster committee roll-call coordinator. “Muster
is just an amazing opportunity for Aggies to come
together as a family in a time when family is
needed most. It doesn’t matter that we knew
them. It matters that we are all Aggies.”

position and stature take a public pot shot at these universities.”
Benen said.
“DeLay was criticizing these universities for not being godly
enough. In his perfect world, he would like to see his religion
pushed on these universities.”
Benen said such public statements raise “alarming issues” in
the matters of religion and state in public universities.
"It’s so inappropriate, not only to criticize them on religious
issues, but given his position in the public, to criticize them at all,”
Benen said.
DeLay’s office said the comments, made before a church to
address a specific question, were taken out of context and reem
phasized that DeLay did not know he was being recorded.
DeLay issued a statement Thursday saying he did not want his
statements to be misunderstood.
‘I was giving advice for the specific type of education they
were seeking for their child,” he said. “Let me make it clear to
Texas: I’ve been a longtime supporter of Baylor and Texas
A&M. My daughter went to A&M, and in Congress I’ve worked
hard to help fund these two prestigious universities. I apologize
for any misunderstandings my comments may have caused.”
Campus Muster hosts Rick Pi
This year’s campus speaker is no
Aggie Muster.
For Governor Rick Perry, Class of!
blood still runs maroon despite hisAi

the way to Ft. Campbell, Kent.
“It truly lived up to the Muster traditi
wherever two or more are gathered, the)‘
Muster,” Perry said.
Perry has countless stories ofspottine
with an Aggie ring overseas or in Austin
“You are instantly bound because you
lot about this person just because the

Perry said he started thinking about his

“To me, being allowed the privilege of
the campus Muster speech is the highest
anyone can receive, particularly an Aggie, h
