According to my daughter who will graduate from A&M in May, Multi-Cultural, PC, anti-western crap is alive and well at A&M. The difference between Harvard and A&M may be that it is the Professors spouting that crap and the students mostly try to ignore it.

I would say that the students have the good common sense (instilled in them by their loving parents)to ignore the multi-cultural, PC, anti-western cr**.

I've found a lot more conservative, God fearing faculty and staff at A&M than I ever expected to find on any college campus - anywhere. If you ever have the opportunity to hear Dr. Ben Welch speak, you should go to hear him. You will not be disappointed.

Patriotism and love of God, country and family are alive and well at A&M. God love those Aggies!

How could any person professing to be a conservative not like Texas A&M with it's traditions, the Corps of Cadets, and the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band. My favorite tradition is the 12th Man. (the reason A&M students stand for each entire football game. They stand in readiness in case they aare needed to into the game like the original 12th man, E. King Gill.

The late Dr. Gill of Corpus Christi relates the tradition of the 12th Man

"It was in January, 1922, following the 1921 football season. The Aggies were SWC champions and had been invited to play Centre College in what was then called the Dixie Classic in Dallas. I had played on the football team but was on the basketball team at the time, and those in charge felt I was more valuable to the basketball team.

I was in Dallas, however, and even rode to the stadium in the same taxi with Coach Dana Bible. I was in civilian clothes and was not to be in uniform. Coach Bible asked me to assist in spotting players in the press box.

So, I was up in the press box when, near the end of the first half, I was called to the Texas A&M bench. There had been a number of injuries but it was not until I arrived on the field that I learned that Coach Bible wanted me to put on a football uniform and be ready to play if he needed me. There were no dressing rooms at the stadium. The team had dressed downtown at the hotel and traveled to the stadium in taxi cabs. Anyway, I put on the uniform of one of the injured players. We got under the stand and he put on my clothes and I put on his uniform. I was ready to play but was never sent into the game."
