Night Out in B-CS, a large profit share coordinated by the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, will take on a new charity cause Wednesday — BUILD. Brian McGhee, senior construction science major and philanthropy chairman of Pi Kappa Alpha, said A Night Out in B-CS started a year ago to support families of the victims of the Fidelity Street shooting on Aug. 13, 2012. There was also a Night Out held after the fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas, to aid in reconstruction efforts.

McGhee said Pi Kappa Alpha chose BUILD as the recipient of this year’s A Night Out in B-CS profits in an effort to establish a tradition of holding the philanthropy event annually rather than after the occurrence of tragic events. McGhee said A Night Out in BCS allows the community to assist with what Pi Kappa Alpha members see as a worthy cause. “[A Night Out in BCS is] a way for the community and students to get involved in support on a larger scale,” McGhee said. McGhee said 27 restaurants will be participating in the profit share. The event is partnered with The Taste of B-CS, a See Night Out on page 3

The Battalion exas A&M sophomore running back Tra Carson sustained a sprained neck during A&M’s 57-7 victory over UTEP last Saturday, head coach Kevin Sumlin confirmed Tuesday. “The official diagnosis was a sprained neck, which sounds painful,” Sumlin said. “But [it] was never as bad as we thought. He was never unconscious, he was never without feeling. Those are good signs. He was in a neck brace [on Monday] and he’s improved today.” Following the win, Sumlin said Carson’s injury was “nothing very serious” and his removal from the field by the Kyle Field medical staff during

the game was “precautionary.” Ben Malena, senior running back and team captain, said Carson evaluated film with the team as usual on Monday but that the sophomore was still “stiff” from the hit and did not practice. While Sumlin said Carson is hoping to join the team for its home finale Saturday against Mississippi State, the sophomore’s status remains in question. “He wants to play, but we’ll see where the doctors say he is at the end of the week,” Sumlin said. “He’s walking around. He never had to go to the hospital. He looks like he was in a car accident. He’s walking around and stiff, a bit like whiplash.” Photos by Yomi Adenuga — THE BATTALION

A&M and Auburn are familiar foes in tournament play, as Auburn knocked off the Aggies 2-0 in the semifinals of the SEC Tournament last season. Earlier this year, though, A&M’s visit to Auburn resulted in a 3-1 Aggie victory, only further fueling the growing rivalry between the two programs.

DUNSFORD: I love being around all of you because it keeps me young trying to keep up with what you’re thinking, what you’re doing and what you know. I also love the general mindset of Aggies. The way everyone is polite, the way Aggies help others — all of those things.

THE BATTALION: What advice would you give students interested in becoming a journalist? DUNSFORD: Read a lot. It doesn’t necessarily matter what you read. You need to know what’s going on around you. Any type of reading will help you with your writing. No matter what media you’re using, whether it be Twitter, Facebook, a magazine, a website or even television, it has got to be written. It needs to be written well. That’s the basis for any type of communication … that it has to be clear, concise, and has to be written well. THE BATTALION: What would you say is a big difference between college now and when you were in school? DUNSFORD: My undergrad is from Kansas State, so it was a little smaller, even back then.

exas A&M will face off against Southeastern Conference rival Mississippi State on Saturday at Kyle Field in the hopes of adding another victory to its record and propelling itself into higher bowl consideration. But as players and coaches said in Tuesday’s press conference, the game will hold meaning beyond postseason bowl berths or tallies in the win column. Saturday will mark the end of an era — in more ways than one. The conference matchup will signal the Aggie seniors’ final run onto Kyle Field and the last opportunity for fans to view the historic stadium on gameday before the $450 million renovations begin. “It’s going to be an emotional day, more exciting than anything,” said Ben Malena, senior running back and team captain. “I look at it as a celebration. You came here, you did your dues. It’s all part of life. It means you did it right.” Malena is one of 13 seniors to be honored on Senior Day at Kyle Field, which will include eight starters from this year’s squad. A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin said Malena, as a player who made exceptional contributions to the program, would be one of a diverse set of players recognized prior to kickoff. “Senior Day brings about three things,” Sumlin said. “You’ve got three groups of guys — walk-ons who’ve toiled, some have gotten scholarships, some have stuck around. You have junior college guys who came into a situation. And you’ve got the guys who’ve been here for four or five years. [Malena] has been around and had some great moments here. He’s really been an emotional leader for us.” Walk-on senior wide receiver Travis Labhart, who emerged as a consistent threat for the A&M offense this season behind a team fourth-best 27 catches for 340 yards and three touchdowns, said the game marks his last opportunity to experience a dream that became a reality. “You dream of playing on Kyle Field,” Labhart said. “I take it for granted when I go out there every day. It’s going to be an emotional game. When you’re out there playing, it seems like it goes by so much faster.”

Offensive coordinator Clarence McKinney addresses the media during Texas A&M’s weekly press conference at the Bright Complex Tuesday.

You dream of playing on Kyle Field. I take it for granted when I go out there everyday. It’s going to be an emotional game. When you’re out there playing, it seems like it goes by so much faster.” — Travis Labhart, Texas A&M senior wide receiver

A&M (7-2, 3-2 SEC) will be matching up against a Mississippi State squad that has struggled this season, compiling a 4-4 (1-3 SEC) record. The Bulldogs’ visit to Kyle Field will mark the end of a two-game road trip after last week’s 3416 loss at South Carolina. Despite Mississippi State’s difficulties, Sumlin said the team’s size and overall talent pool, specifically the offense and its quarterback, Dak Prescott, pose a real threat. “What you see out of them as a team is operating one of the better offenses in the league, putting up over 400 yards per game,” Sumlin said. “You look at them offensively, they’ve got weapons. [Prescott] has given them a new element, just a big, strong guy that can throw it and runs through people.” A&M defensive coordinator Mark Snyder said the Aggie front seven will

have trouble slowing down the 6-foot-2, 230-pound sophomore Prescott and his run game. “[Prescott] is a big, strong kid,” Snyder said. “He’s near-bigger than our whole front. He pushes the pile for five or six [yards] every time. They do it all with him and he can throw it a little bit too.” As for the Bulldog defense, Sumlin said the unit’s defensive line, which includes the nation’s second-ranked recruit in the country, Chris Jones, a 6-foot-5, 305-pound defensive end with deadly pass rush abilities, would be one of the largest obstacles the Aggies face this season. “[Mississippi State] is one of the larger teams we’re going to play this year, including Alabama and LSU,” Sumlin said. “Defensively, [they have] a huge defensive line and they can rotate. They’ve had a lot of guys drafted and they just keep coming back with more.” Considering the potency of the visiting defensive line, offensive coordinator Clarence McKinney said he was thankful for the return of junior right tackle Cedric Ogbuehi, who was sidelined the past two weeks with an undisclosed injury. “You always want those five guys that have played together, know each other’s tendencies,” McKinney said. “If one guy steps one way, he expects the guy to be right beside him. Those guys are our starting unit that have played together and it’ll be exciting to have [Ogbuehi] back this week to play that defensive line.”

in the last seven games, they’re on a bit of a roll right now,” Guerrieri said. “They’re the team that upset us last year at this event in the semifinals so we’ll be pretty focused on them. We’re not looking at anything else except how we can beat the Tigers.” If Wednesday’s game concludes with an Aggie victory, the maroon and white will take the pitch in the conference semifinals against the winner of Wednesday’s No. 3 South Carolina and No. 6 Georgia matchup.

After earning a share of the regular season SEC Title with the 3-2 defeat of LSU, Guerrieri said his team is motivated heading into the matchup. “The fact that we’re going to play somebody that we’ve seen before in the quarterfinals is good because it’s something that we can hang our hat on from last time — pros and cons,” Guerrieri said. “[Winning the SEC] gives us a good motivating factor to start the event. This is a team that we don’t really have to worry too much about motivation. They’re a very focused, very ready group, no matter what Bryan Johnson — THE BATTALION the challenge.” Junior forward Shea Groom attempts a slide tackle during A&M’s 3-2 win over LSU on Thursday.

ixar Animation Studios will host a presentation in the Langford Architecture Center on the creation of animated films Wednesday, featuring two former students who work as visualization artists for Pixar. Tim McLaughlin, visualization department head, said many students from the visualization department have gone to work at Pixar and have helped produce blockbusters including the recent movie “Brave.” William Jenks, director of the visualization laboratory, said Pixar’s presentation will serve as an informational and potential job recruitment opportunity that can be beneficial for students. “Every one of these big companies has a university outreach to meet students and see what they are doing,” Jenks said. “I’m not sure if they are actually recruiting or if the event is a kind of ‘come on in and chat’ kind of thing where they will take a look [Pixar] will at students work go to other and give them critiques.” schools M c L a u g h l i n hiring for artists and said part of the reason Pixar is they will go to certain visiting the Uni- other schools hiring versity is because programmers.

Department of Visualization The advisory board helps keep the curriculum, research and direction of the visualization department in sync with the current standards and methods in industry. Pixar has an affinity for A&M students because they possess a unique blend of technical skills and artistic ability, McLaughlin said. “The reason Pixar likes our students is because they are highly technical and good artists and that’s what makes us unusual,” McLaughlin said. “They will go to other schools hiring for artists and they will go to certain other schools hiring programmers. They come to A&M looking for people for the disciplines that require both.” McLaughlin said there will be three different representatives from Pixar, an outreach manager and two artists who were students in the visualization program. “Typically what they will do is talk about the latest work they have done and do a presentation,” McLaughlin said. “Pixar hires for particular disciplines from A&M and so usually they are speaking about one of those specific disciplines.” The visiting representatives discuss the application of their education to their current industry work, McLaughlin said. “Last time one of the visitors was talking about the will o’ the wisps in ‘Brave,’ the little blue flames that Merida follows through the forest,” he said. “It was an effects animation job so his job was to determine the look when the will o’ the wisps moved, what the blue flame looks like, so it’s a technical task with an aesthetic outcome.” Tanner Konarik, sophomore visualization major, said he was optimistic about the recruitment opportunities and professional help that will be available at the event. “I think it will be incredibly helpful to individuals seeking employment in animating and the likes,” Konarik said. “I know when Pixar visited in 2010 they provided critiques for demo reels and things like that. Professional tips are always a good thing.” The event is free and open to the public. It will be held in Green Auditorium in Langford Architecture Building B from 7–9 p.m.

coalition of independently owned restaurants in Bryan-College Station. “We decided it would be a good partnership because they are heavily involved in the community already and they would be able to help generate support from the outside community,” McGhee said. Richmond Howard, president of Pi Kappa Alpha, encouraged students to tell restaurants that they want to benefit A Night Out in B-CS and thank the restaurant owners for participating. Andrew Abbott, senior petroleum engineering major and the chief executive officer of BUILD, said the support from A Night Out in B-CS and Pi Kappa Alpha was a significant help as BUILD requires about $50,000 to start one house. “[Pi Kappa Alpha] came to us and said, ‘Hey, we’re kind of looking for something to put [A Night Out in B-CS] toward,’” he said. “It was absolutely an answered prayer.” Kindall Stephens, senior environmental design major and marketing team leader for BUILD, said she was excited that A Night Out in B-CS would be supporting the project. “We were beyond ecstatic whenever they said they were going to donate the money from A

in Texas, but Texas will still be here. You can always come back later, but the chance to get experience in different areas may not be there forever. Take advantage of all the skills you have and don’t sell yourself short.

Night Out in B-CS to us,” Stephens said. “Personally, I’m really excited about it because it involves the community, not just the student body, and I think that’s what BUILD is doing, bringing the student body together, but really building the community we live in.” Funds raised from A Night Out in B-CS will go to pay off a no-interest loan for the cost of the materials required to build the walls of four houses. Abbott said 100 students from various organizations volunteered throughout all the shifts on Monday and Tuesday, Abbott said, despite the dreary weather. “The students have been so great who have come out to volunteer,” Abbott said. “Hair soaked, shirt soaked, they were still out there swinging a hammer.” Abbott said he hopes BUILD will grow enough to become independent so that leaders may have more control over their projects and who receives the future homes. “I think I can speak for the team on this, but what we’re looking forward to is the impact [BUILD] is going to have and already had here at Texas A&M,” he said. “It allows a lot of different students to meet other students, to do something that’s different, but at the same time it is still service. I’m looking forward to seeing how it affects more people and where it goes in the future years.”
