Junior yell leader Tim Bailey said they are involved in numerous activities including New Student Conferences, Fish Camps, Honors Program recruiting. Corps recruiting, and visiting several Aggie Mom’s clubs and sports camps. “Things are different during the summer,” said head yell leader Cardo Walthall. “In the summer we go around the state and do a lot of traveling. During the school year we’re involved on campus a lot more.” The yell leaders must master time management during the summer because of their rigor ous schedules. “It’s pretty time consum ing,” said senior yell leader Scott Goble. “We’re out at events between four and five nights a week. In one seven day period we’ll be in six different cities.” Junior yell leader Jonathan Award Continued from page 1 appraised value information on properties, and investors can get ownership information on prop erties they want to purchase. Gus Roman, College Station GIS coordinator, said the sys tem has provided many services to citizens and workers in the area. “In a sense, we have become Lusk said their summer activi ties help them as yell leaders in the fall. Goble and Lusk agree that being in the Corps has helped them deal with their schedules. “If it wasn't for the Corps, I wouldn’t be yell leader,” Lusk said. “That organization put me here and it’s prepared me to stay mentally focused.” There is no written rule that yell leaders must be at A&M during the summer, but it is highly recommended. “We have to stay here during the summer,” Walthall said. “There’s so much stuff that we have to do. It’s not feasible to live anywhere else but College Station.” Meeting incoming freshmen is a favorite part of their jobs and they want to make sure freshmen know what makes A&M a great place. “We like to give them [the freshmen) an idea of the tradi tions at A&M so that they will be involved,” Bailey said. “We’re blessed with so many great traditions and our goal is to uphold them and give to them.” The summer workload is divided among the five yell leaders. The juniors do most of the “grunt work,” Goble said. the efficiency experts for the city,” Roman said. Roman said that by utilizing GIS, visual snapshots of crime in the city can be created. For example, he said College Station recently had a problem with vehicles being broken into and radios and backpacks being stolen. The crime analyst of College Station used the GIS to break down the burglaries by location and the day of the week it occurred. Switch Continued from pagel 1 iv present the student body of A&M “It should be an exciting aftJl noon,” I lammond said. “I thintP will be quite an experience ip |Faulkner] to witness first h« the dedication, spirit and lovaf of the students at A&M.’’ Kub This includes scheduling Midnight Yells and making sure hotels are booked in advance for away games. “We all have different jobs and we work more efficiently together when we split up the work that needs to be done,” Walthall said. While a lot of hard work is involved, the yell leaders say the end result is well worth their time. “I've done a lot of learning so far,” Bailey said. “Being a yell leader is a job of service to the university, students, former students and incoming stu dents.” Some community service the yell leaders participate in is not well known, such as block parties they have thrown for residents in low income areas. Goble said the epitome of their jobs is service. The yell leaders said their bond is cemented during the summers when they are most occupied with service activities. “1 like the guys who are Yell Leaders with me,” Walthall said. “I feel very blessed to be going through all this with them. In the end, you realize the best times were with the four other guys that you got to hang out with.” The analysis showed that on Thursdays the perpetrators bur glarized a specific area. As a result. College Station police staked out the location of the crimes that Thursday and appre hended the perpetrators. “This system is not only about making maps, it is a tool that can be used to improve the quality of life of our citizens,” Roman said. “The GIS system will help make our town safer and more productive.” Bcircevac Continued from pagel declined and Cystic Fibrov overcame him last week “He was such a phenomer, person and was very pati? which is gotxl for a math lead He just cared about his studerj so deeply,” Gorman said.
