or nearly four decades, Holocaust survivor Max Glauben did not speak of what he witnessed or experienced. Alec Becker, Glauben’s grandson, said he is proud of his grandfather, who did not share his Holocaust experience with anyone until the 1980s. “He does it not for himself,” Alec said. “He does it because the future generations and the current generations need to know about it so they can pass these sto-
ries down to their children.” Glauben will share his story of survival at A&M on Wednesday, the school attended by two of his grandchildern — Alec and Delaney Becker. Alec, senior kinesiology major, said his grandfather taught him to constantly defend others. “There’s something he preaches on a daily basis and that’s that there are too many bystanders in life,” Alec said. “He kind of coined the term ‘upstandPhoto provided, Graphic by William Guerra — THE BATTALION er’ as somebody who stands up and says something that they know inherently Alec Becker, senior kinesiology major, is is wrong.” the grandson of Holocaust survivor See Glauben on page 4 Max Glauben.
hen Texas A&M hired Paul “Bear” Bryant as head football coach in 1954, it didn’t know it was hiring a future legend often referred to as one of the greatest college football coaches of all time. The Texas A&M University System will present Bryant’s original employment contract to the University at 4 p.m. Tuesday at the Board of Regents Annex. The ceremony will feature remarks from five speakers, including A&M system chancellor John Sharp, head football coach Kevin Sumlin and 1957 Heisman Trophy winner John David Crow. Paul “Bear” Bryant — who is responBryant sible for the grueling and infamous 10-day summer camp in Junction, Texas, that brought about the Junction Boys moniker — coached the Aggies to a 25-14-2 record and a Southwest Conference title in his fouryear coaching stint at A&M. Bryant would return to coach his alma mater Alabama in 1958 where he would eventually end his 38-year coaching career as a six-time national champion with an overall coaching record of 323-85. After passing away a month after his final game, Bryant was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously from President Ronald Reagan and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1986.

he rivalry between Texas A&M and the University of Texas again will heat up on the court as the intramural basketball champions from both schools face off Sunday in the Lonestar Showdown. This weekend’s basketball game is the second part of the competition
that began in the fall with a football game in Austin between the intramural champions from each school, said Matt Keller, SGA executive vice president of student services. “Funny story — we won the males, co-ed lost and the females also lost,” Keller said. “So, in other words, we ran out of time in two out of three of the games.” The idea for reviving the rivalry came from Horacio Villarreal III, UT student body president. “Over the summer of 2013, a friend and I were talking about the old Texas-Texas A&M rivalry,” Villarreal said.
“And when we were talking about it, we said it was a shame that we still don’t have that anymore. We thought it would be cool if regular students played each other — non-Division I athletes. We thought it would put a different twist on the rivalry.” Villarreal said he was pleased with the turnout at the football intramural showdown. “We had a solid turnout,” Villarreal said. “It was a pretty hot day on a Sunday. It was the first time that it ever happened. But at any point in time, we had See Lonestar Showdown on page 2

Behavioral health hospital to aid county’s mental health needs
‘West Side Story’ finds realism in production

fter 13 months of construction, the Rock Prairie Behavioral Health Hospital opened its doors Monday morning to fill a gap in the Brazos Valley community’s healthcare system. The facility has 72 beds for patients and will be open as well as on-call 24 hours per day for free clinical assessments. Jim Shaheen, president of Strategic Behavioral Health, said this new strategic facility is going to be a resource for the community. “Anybody can come to this building to get an assessment and find out what’s going on — and when I say an assessment, it might just be finding out the nature of the crises, it may not have anything to do with mental health or substance abuse, but we are going to be a resource regardless and get people the services

Day for the awareness and understanding of mental health. “For too many years, the
iolence, drama and grit transform a classic musical for the 21st-century audience. Set in a 1950s Upper West Side neighborhood in New York City, the characters of “West Side Story” find their home in flux. The Polish Jets feel threatened by the growing presence of the newlyimmigrated Puerto Rican Sharks. Tensions rise when Tony, a former leader of the Jets, and Maria, younger sister of the Sharks’ leader, find themselves tied together by romance. Amy Guerin, assistant professor in Theatre Arts, said the musical has maintained its popularity because of the creative minds behind the stage show. “It is a part of musical theater still today because of lyrics of Stephen Sondheim, the music of Leonard Bernstein and the choreography work of Jerome Robbins,” Guerin said. “All of these things came together to create a musical that, at the time, pushed boundaries.”

Reid Joseph, Texas A&M student body president, said he is optimistic the Lonestar Showdown will rekindle the spirit of the 118-year-old Texas-Texas A&M rivalry. “By no means are we intending to replace the rivalry — nothing could — but in the spirit of it we are trying to promote this,� Joseph said. “Overall, students on both campuses would like to see the rivalry continue.� Villarreal said there is a definite benefit to this revival. “It is cool because it is still burnt orange and maroon playing each other, something we have always been used to and something that most of us at UT and A&M have grown up with,� Villarreal said. “I think anything that

Joseph said there are always rumors of reinstating the Division I rivalry between the two schools, but said no official word has been given. Joseph said he hopes students who were once excited about the Division I matchups will exhibit that same support for the Aggies during the games on Sunday. “We want to encourage any and all students to come out and support our Ags on to a Fightin’ Texas Aggie victory,� Joseph said. The basketball showdown will be at 12:30 p.m. Sunday at the Student Recreation Center.
West Side Story Continued from page 1
Cast member Jarrod Biron Green, who plays Tony, said this tour attempts to push the boundaries even further with a more sinister approach to the beloved musical. “The story is the same, but some of the book has been tweaked from the original production,� Green said. “Since there is a Puerto Rican gang, they put more Spanish into the show. Ten percent of the lyrics are Spanish now. It makes it more realistic. Some of the old school musical theater comedy has been changed to make a darker reality. It’s a lot more violent and gritty.� Adding a layer of violence, this new take has stripped away the rose-colored glasses of the old-style comedy, Guerin said. “In the 1950s there were a lot of euphemisms that glossed over how tough a life these kids had,� Guerin said. “The way that the Jets treat Anita when she comes to give them information is hurtful but not life-threatening. In this version the Jets assault her.� “West Side Story� mirrors the tale of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.� Although the audience can follow these parallel characters, “West Side Story� allows for a sense of closure not afforded to the original story, Guerin said. “Because the story is moved forward to the 1950s, it’s not people in tights,� Guerin said. “It’s the same story, but there are enough changes to the
PROVIDED
Cast members perform “West Side Story.� plot that we get to see the aftermath. In the original, their bodies are discovered and it ends. But in ‘West Side Story’ we get to see the community’s reaction — how they are going to heal themselves.� Katie Guilbault, junior psychology major, said the updated aspects of the show make her more interested in the performance. “When a play like ‘West Side Story’ is adapted in a way to make it have a more realistic plot line, I think it only enhances the performance — considering the very real subject matter of the play,� Guilbault said. Guerin said the audience should walk away from the musical with the message to see past shallow differences. “Our differences are only surface differences,� Guerin said. “How we look, what we speak, our socioeconomic
circumstances — they’re just surface. Underneath, we are all longing for love, safety and security. We all want those things. We are not that different.� Green said he hopes the violent world of “West Side Story� will make an impression on the audience and leave them inspired to make a change. “Hopefully by the end of the show the audience will want to do their part, give back to the world and love so that the world of ‘West Side Story’ doesn’t become a reality,� Green said. MSC OPAS will host the show at 7:30 pm on Tuesday and Wednesday in Rudder Theatre. Due to strong language, violence and sensitive subject matter, a parental advisory has been suggested for those with children under 13.

New group of Maroon Coats inductees suit up Aimee Breaux The Battalion
M
aroon Coats, an organization that represents the student body to University donors, inducted 17 new members Friday at the Jon L. Hagler Center. The new members were chosen through a three-stage process of essays, socials and interviews that whittled a group of 186 applicants down to 17. The organization attends donor events throughout the year and represents the student body at fundraiser meetings. David Trigg, 2014-2015 Corps Commander and Maroon Coats inductee, said the experience of being chosen was humbling. “I’d say that I’m stepping among people who truly love and have incredible passion for A&M and I hope I can live my life with such high character as they do,” Trigg said. As a scholarship recipient, Trigg said he hopes the experience will give him the chance to thank donors for the opportunities afforded to students by removing such financial burdens. Trigg said Maroon Coats offers a more impactful means of saying ‘thank you’ to donors than University officials can. “It is far more impactful

behavioral health resources for our community have not met our citizens’ needs,” Berry said. “Today that’s going to change. We’re not just adding to our medical district, we’re also adding to the quality of life for this entire region.” Berry said before this opening, Brazos County lacked adequate specialized medical services and facilities necessary to meet the needs of people suffering with mental or behavioral health issues. Christopher Kirk, event speaker and Brazos County Sheriff, said the community now has access to a facility that will eliminate the transportation to other sites. Kirk said the additional hospital beds translate to better treatment for those who need medical or psychological attention. Instead of sending these cases elsewhere, the individuals can now receive treatment immediately. “In the last year, we’ve done 793 civil transports [and] our Crisis Intervention Team deputies have responded to 347 calls and we’ve diverted 184 individuals from jail,” Kirk said. “It’s a successful program and we continue with it, but there has always been one critical component to the CIT that we lacked and that was treatment beds. But now we have it.” The Behavioral Health team also plans to establish
a relationship with the college community. Anthony Moore, director of business development for Strategic Behavioral Health, said it is vital to meet the needs of this population as well. “When you go through the crisis intervention, in the analysis they decide what your future program should be, whether you need to continue in a group or seek medical advice,” Berry said. “Whatever it is, they’ll take care of you.” Moore said Strategic Behavioral Health has plans to reach out to several Texas A&M entities. A partnership with the A&M Health Science Center and the Student Counseling Center and future educational programs for students at A&M may soon be in the works. “We want to try to partner with the departments such as the medical field and psychology in order to develop a residency program to teach and train students, so there are a number of opportunities within Texas A&M and we are looking forward to getting involved with that partnership,” Moore said. Duane Runyan, Class of 1988 and CEO of Rock Prairie Behavioral Health, said there is no place he’d rather be than College Station and being able to build this hospital is humbling. “The core of what we do is change lives and we do that through compassion and through service,” Runyan said. “That’s what we do at Strategic and that’s what we will do at Rock Prairie.”

Glauben Continued from page 1
After more than 70 years, the Holocaust remains a topic of discussion and analysis as survivors continue to share their personal stories with younger generations. As a young child, Glauben, his father, mother and younger brother were forced to live in the Warsaw Ghetto beginning in 1940. He and his family were later deported to the Majdanek concentration camp in Lublin, Poland. Because his mother and younger brother were
thebattalion deemed unsuitable for work, they were sentenced to immediate death. His father was later killed and Glauben became an orphan at 13. Alec said he feels fortunate to have his grandfather share his story with the A&M community. “When I was younger, I almost didn’t understand the significance of what my grandfather went through,” Alec said. “As you grow up and mature, you get something different out of it. I understood a bit better the hardship he went through and I’ve gained a huge respect for that.”
Glauben was transferred to several other labor camps. He was liberated by American troops in 1945 while on a death march toward Dachau, a Nazi concentration camp in Germany. In 1947, Glauben arrived in the U.S. and was placed in the care of a Jewish family in Atlanta. He now lives in Dallas and works to share his story with others at the Dallas Holocaust Museum and on school visits. Alec said he continually uses his grandfather’s story as an example in his daily life. “I’ve been more appreciative for what I have in life,”
Alec said. “He was pulled out of school and would have to smuggle food into the ghetto to feed his family at 9 years old.” Jonathan Rahmani, community liaison for A&M Hillel and junior kinesiology major, said all A&M students could benefit from attending this lecture. “We as Aggies have our own high moral ground,” Rahmani said. “Standing up for what you believe in even if others say something’s wrong with it. That’s what we’re supposed to do.” Rahmani applied Glauben’s story to the Aggie Honor
Code. “As an Aggie, we don’t lie, cheat or steal, nor tolerate those who do,” Rahmani said. “So we’re not going to allow someone to steal another’s life. We’re not going to allow them to lie to the people with propaganda. In the Holocaust they cheated out families — you’re stealing from them, stealing the opportunity to live and prosper. We as Aggies can learn from this too.” Rabbi Matt Rosenberg, executive director of A&M Hillel, said it is important for students of all backgrounds to know about and learn from
the Holocaust and that the lecture serves as an excellent opportunity to do so. “For us Jews, we’ve internalized it and we remember it, but others were the cause of it,” Rosenberg said. “I think it’s a human problem and we see with the genocide in Rwanda, which we right now are remembering the 20th anniversary of. We need to be vigilant, we need to know and we need to remember our history.” The event will be from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in MSC 2406.
