Letter to the Editor: What’s With All These Wags in Leadership Positions

As a member of the Association of Former Students, a Century Club Donor, and loud and proud member of Company E-3 ‘83, I feel that my opinion matters.  Now, I’m not one to cause a ruckus, but there is something seriously wacky going on in College Station right now. I recently saw a picture on my Facebook feed of the rising leaders of Aggieland, and if I’m not mistaken, they were a bunch of wags. I am appalled, to say the least.

Don’t get me wrong, there is a specific place for women in the social circles of college. They’re fantastic note takers and excel in the cult of domesticity, but I hate my university becoming so complacent in allowing females to hold every single leadership position on campus. I was most shocked about Parson’s Mounted Cavalry— a boys’ club from the start— having a wag commander. As a former Cav Jock, I don’t think I can ever view the organization the same way again.

The reason for my alarm is rooted in good ol’ biology. Women have a certain time of the month when they get a little pissed off (you know what I’m referring to). Now, I think of myself as an optimist. However, when women are in close quarters —  as the new leaders of Texas A&M undoubtedly will be— they start to sync those monthly cycles. It’s simple biology! What happens when every single campus leader is pissed off at the same time? Anarchy!

In my humble opinion, the only female we really need in leadership is the First Lady of Aggieland, Ms. Reveille (she’s a neutered dog, so the cycle thing isn’t an issue). Women obviously deserve a place on campus, but the implications of having them in every major leadership position are risky. Mark my words Aggieland, when those cycles sync up, the University will fall to pieces.
