Who cares what this middle aged orthodontist has to say? He took the words of a few students and made a judgment about an organization he was a part of without verifying anything. Fish camp was never a consensus "I love it" even in old army days. This guy was everything that drove me crazy at A&M in early 00's talking about how great things used to be.

I bet Mr. Sparkman wasn't complaining about the "sexuality" of fish camp when he was trying to hook up with 17/18 year-olds as a counselor. Well, at least every counselor I knew tried to do that.

Fish camp sucked when I went, it sucks now, and it will suck in 20 years.
Agreed! It sucked almost 40 years ago too. There are better ways to learn Aggie traditions.

Most of the counselors at my fish camp didn't know the correct words to the Spirit or War Hymn. LOTS of "Rough Stuff Real Stuff" offenders.

Does this guy think that being an orthodontist in West TX gives him credibility?
I think there are a lot of cavities in his biting story. We need to drill deeper and brace ourselves.

Biting criticism.

Probably also sang "We are the Aggies / The Aggies so true".

As a former Fish Camp counselor- it is too much about the counselors and their bs skits. It should be just a fun camp to meet some fellow freshman (usual camp stuff- games, music, sports, dance, swimming, etc.) and learn some traditions. But it's not that. If it's evolved to also pushing a bs liberal agenda, well then that's even worse.
I definitely remember the fish camp counselors trying to hook up with the freshmen. Our little dorm group ended up not having a counselor in our room for some reason and we stopped going to stuff and just hung out with fellow freshmen.

I went in the summer of '83 with my best friend from HS. We were separated on the bus ride and at camp as part of the initiative to make you get to know other people. I ended up in the Campus Crusade cabin. He ended up in the 'hook-up' cabin. We had very different experiences. He left A&M after one year. I stayed for a 5th year.

They should have shut it down after the counselors did a photo shoot at the Bonfire Memorial. Talk about a total lack of awareness.

Sounds like Kyle spoke with someone who ended up at that new Blue Oyster Bar Camp, not the real Fish Camp.

Did no one else get drunk and make out with random people at Fish Camp any summer other than 1989?


I did. Then the counselors found our vodka stash and dumped it... they were buzzkills

This. I like how he throws in "promoting a racial political agenda" toward the end when there's no other mention of anything racial in the rest of the letter.

I enjoyed my Fish Camp '89; it was like the Olympic Village.

My fish camp experience more or less felt like it was all designed to serve me up on a silver platter to female counselors. There was some date in the fall that they had to wait for until they were allowed to interact with you socially. I recall that rule being sporadically followed.

Has fish camp changed from that?

My last memory of Fish Camp is riding back on the non-A/C bus listening to A&M lose to BYU in the first game of the season (played week before classes started)

This letter is a waste of time and effort!!! The regents much for the liberalization of Texas A&M. Their Rich $$$$$$$ fat cats who know nothing about educating students, they have never stood before students, given exams, graded, exams,etc. Sure they may have faculty advisors, however, most likely they are of the liberal agenda. The best thing to do is advise future students not to attend fish camp!

They had more important things to do with their time back then, such as learning how to load artillery pieces on train cars bound for Waco.

I know, but if I were to write a parody myself it would read a lot like that.

Oh...one of those guys that's outraged by made up "liberal attacks". I know which forum he frequents on TexAgs.

Hope he doesn't find out that they're putting litter boxes in the bathrooms to cater toward those students that identify as cats.
