Chad Richards, a freshman
general studies major, said
enrollment in the Corps should
n't affect if someone is elected
as yell leader. He said it
should be based on who is
going to represent traditions
the most.
Baumgartner said he does
not think that one should run a
campaign stressing whether
they are a member of the Corps.
“One should vote based on the
person” Baumgartner said..“Vote
for a candidate, not a uniform.”
Jacob Scher, a sophomore
business major, said he respects
the Corps’ place in the
University. He said students
should not vote for him solely
because he is the only candidate
running for junior yell leader
who is not in the Corps.
The panel also allowed the
yell leaders to stress the impor
tance of their position.
“A&M has given me so
much, and I’d love the opportu
nity to give back,” said Askew, a
junior yell leader candidate and
sophomore agricultural develop
ment major.
Askew, who received the dis
tinction of most outstanding
freshman in the Corps his fresh
man year, said there is a problem
in keeping everyone involved.
“Football isn’t what makes
Kyle Field,” Askew said. “It’s
the spirit of Aggieland."
Haley, a junior business
major, said he would love noth
ing more than giving back as
senior yell leader next year.
Haley expressed his willing
ness to be adaptable in any sit
uation and bring the Aggie
spirit out in people.
“We must revive the spirit,”
he said.
Bishop said the position of
yell leader is one of service and
commitment to A&M. He wants
to be reelected because of his love
for the traditions at A&M.
“Any time you believe in
something, it makes you want to
serve it,” Bishop said. “The
most important role (as a yell
leader) is to serve Texas A&M
and not think about yourself.”
Paul Terrell, a junior agricul
tural business major and current
yell leader, said he has been
honored to serve as a junior yell
leader this year and has enjoyed
attending several events.
“I've been at as many events
as I can make,’’ Terrell said.
Baumgartner said he sees
the yell leader position as one
that represents the student
body as a whole.
“They are seen throughout
the nation as the heart of
Aggieland,” Baumgartner said.
“By being a yell leader, you are
out in front of everyone, and
every one knows who you are.”
Hebert, a sophomore sports
management major, said he sees
the best thing about being a yell
leader as having an impact on
people's lives.
”1 have not always been the
biggest person, hut 1 stand up for
what 1 believe in,” Hebert said.
Scher said that ever since the
day he stepped foot on the A&M
campus, he has loved every sec
ond of being here.
“I love this school, the spirit
and the traditions more than
anything,” Scher said.
Scher said he wants to
make a difference and an
impact on people.
Logan Wright, a sophomore
marketing major, said that after
attending the forum, she wishes
there were seven yell leaders.
"I have a good feeling about
all seven candidates” Wright
said. “It is unfortunate that a
negative connotation has been
brought up. If we strive for cam
pus unity, we need to not run a
basher campaign.”
