“Going to Midnight Yell was a phenomenal
experience,” Dennis Zuehlke said. “The speaker
was talking about the Spirit of Aggieland. and
that is something that spreads to the parents and
makes us Aggies.”
Zuehlke, a Tarleton State University graduate,
said it was rewarding for him to experience Aggie
traditions and spirit during Parents’ Weekend.
Justin Burt, a junior construction science
major, said Parents’ Weekend is a good opportu
nity for parents to see what their children are
doing at school.
“1 get to show them the campus, where 1 live
and what I do,” Burt said. “It’s just not something
that other universities do."
Carol Norris said Parents’ Weekend is a good
excuse for her and her husband Pat. Class of 1977,

football game. As part of the cel
ebration, there will be a barbe
cue and performances by vari
ous bands prior to the football
game, Thompson said.
Bishop said the basis for the
event is to get everyone excited
about football season.
This is Cosby’s second year
to be a part of the festivities,
Thompson said. Cosby per-
formed before a sold-out crowd
of more than 8,000 in
September 2000.
“Cosby is a legend,”
Thompson said. “We wanted to
find someone all students would
be excited about.”
The performers for First Yell
are selected by the yell leaders
and a First Yell committee
made up of eight students who
aid with advertising and plan
ning, Bishop said.

“It seems that Parents’ Weekend this year is a
lot belter done than last year.” Carol said. “Last
year there wasn’t as much to do. and we didn’t
expect it to be this good this year, but it is.”
Pat Norris said he enjoys the feeling of being
on the A&M campus during Parents’ Weekend.
“It’s fun to see and feel the buzz on campus,”
he said. “We’ve come on other weekends when
there wasn’t much going on. and it’s just not the
same feel.”
The student organization Replant held a silent
auction Saturday afternoon at Rudder Fountain.
Tyler Hampton, a junior biological systems
engineering major and Replant member, said
the turnout for Parents’ Weekend was better
than expected.
“Other organizations had low expectations
because many had thought it was going to rain this
weekend,” Hampton said. “The turnout would
have been good, but there would have been less
participation.”

Not many students were
able to obtain tickets to last
year’s event, so this year there
will be a special pre-sale for
A&M students only.
The tickets, which went on
sale starting April 12, will con
tinue to be sold until April 23.
Two-thousand tickets are being
offered in this pre-sale,
Thompson said. Tickets can be
purchased at the Memorial
Student Center or Reed Arena
Box Offices. A special ticket
price has been set for the presale
at $10 for upper level seats and
$20 for lower level seats.
Tickets for the general public
will go on sale Aug. 9. The capac
ity for this year’s show is 8,745.
Meghan Goodson, a sopho

major, said she will attend the
performance because it is a neat
tradition and Cosby is timeless.
“1 really liked how they tried to
cater to students by having a stu
