Kansas wasn't really known for its football traditions and its fans were more interest ed in seeing the Dome than cheering for their team. This year, everything has changed. While the spirit of Notre Dame and its wondrous traditions are unmatched. they will not go unchallenged. This year, the Aggies are com ing to town. While A&M's success on the gridiron is great, the stands are where the best in A&M tradi tions reside. Led by five student "yell leaders," A&M fans are known for their synchronized hand motions and cheers, known as "yells." "It's a whole lot of fun," head yell leader Ricky Wood said about cheering at an A&M game. "Even when you are a freshman you feel like you are a part of something bigger." The yell leaders act as the preachers before the choir of Texas A&M fans. Students, alumni and fans all know the yells and hand motions that are as much a part of an A&M game as the quarterback. The first documented evidence of yell leaders dates back to 1907 but Wood believes the tra dition extends into the 19th cen tury. The all-male military school atmosphere at A&M gave rise to the organization and spir it needed for the boisterous yells, according to Wood. Although A&M students are no longer required to join the Corps of Cadets and the school went co-ed in 1973 (yes, some schools Texas A&M yell leaders Kevin Grahm, Ben Cholik, Ricky Wood, took even longer than Notre their nationally known hand signals and cheers to motivate Dame to admit women), the tra ditions of the yell leaders live on. Wood expects the yell leaders to use practices are midnight pep rallies that between 10 and 12 yells this year.
