Yell leaders volunteer
time during summer
By Melissa McKeon
THE BATTALION
Though standing in front of
80,000 spectators at Kyle Field
each football game is one of the
most visible forms of contribu
tion the Yell Leaders make to
A&M, summer is when yell
leaders are most occupied.
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.”

Gus Roman, College Station
GIS coordinator, said the sys

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.

of the students at A&M.’’

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.”
