Bill would revive A&M-UT rivalry Mark Doré

FILE PHOTO

The UT-A&M rivalry is the third most-played rivalry in Division 1-A football at 118 games.

The Battalion Texas Rep. Ryan Guillen, D-Rio Grande City, filed House Bill 778 on Monday, an action that, if passed, would reinstitute a longstanding, recently discontinued in-state athletic rivalry. Guillen, Class of 2000, took to Twitter saying the bill would require UT and A&M to play each other annually in a nonconference, regular season football game. The two schools met on the football field every year from 1914 through 2011, but an A&M move to the Southeastern Conference derailed the rivalry game.

“This game is as much a Texas tradition as cowboy boots and barbecue,” Guillen told The Texas Tribune. “The purpose of the bill is to put the eyes of Texas upon our two greatest universities to restore this sacred Texas tradition.” The bill doesn’t specify when the game should occur, but it does state that whichever team refused to participate in the contest would suffer restrictions on its athletic scholarships, The Texas Tribune reported. “I think the people of Texas want a game, and we’re trying to get them one,” Guillen said. There is some precedent for the filing. In 1955, a Florida Legislature bill that sought

to require an annual Florida-Florida State game in all sports was struck down, but then-governor LeRoy Collins personally requested that the schools’ athletic directors work out a deal, which they eventually did. In 1997, a similar bill was passed in North Carolina Legislature demanding University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill and North Carolina State play East Carolina annually. The Alabama House of Representatives also passed a similar measure in 1947 intended to encourage an Iron Bowl renewal between Auburn and Alabama. When the schools continued their impasse, the legislature threatened to withhold state funding unless the rivalry was resumed.

With the proposed scope and scale of the project, we are going to need many groups assisting with the renovation and expansion of Kyle Field. — University President R. Bowen Loftin Caleb Stewart — THE BATTALION

The expansion of Kyle Field, estimated to cost about $425 million in renovations, could hold upwards of 102,000 fans.

The Battalion As the financial breakdown of the Kyle Field redevelopment project unfolds, the A&M administration is deciding how students will foot their portion of the bill. “With the proposed scope and scale of the project, we are going to need many groups assisting with the renovation and expansion of Kyle Field,” University President R. Bowen

Loftin said in a prepared statement. Loftin met with student leaders to better form a plan of action to find funding for the east side — or student section — of Kyle Field. “We look forward to a major project,” Loftin said at a press conference announcing a hotel tax agreement with B-CS leaders. “Probably the largest project ever done at Texas A&M University and perhaps the largest in Texas.” Of the estimated $425 million cost to reno-

vate Kyle Field, $95 million will go toward the renovation of the east side and $20 million will be raised through philanthropy and seat licenses, which must be on the first deck between the 30-yard lines according to SEC guidelines. For the remaining $75 million, Loftin proposed students raise the money because students are the primary users of the east side. The conceptual expansion of the student section will include the removal of the Read

Building to clear more space for expanded concourses in addition to a new first deck, renovated and expanded restrooms, enhanced concessions, additional entry and exit points and new benches for standing. “In overview, they are lowering the field by about seven feet,” said Scott Bowen, speaker of Student Senate. “They are also lowering first deck and renovating it to add several rows

Special to The Battalion In the Stark Galleries’ latest exhibition, “The Absolute Truth… Nothing But Lies,” photographers Dave Einsel and Robert Sebree fuse reality and make-believe in a myriad of realistic and distorted photography. Though they come from similar backgrounds, Texas A&M former students Einsel (Class of 1981) and Sebree

(Class of 1982) have taken two very different professional paths. The artists met at Texas A&M, both having come from military families, and worked together photographing for publications such as The Battalion and the Aggieland Yearbook.

Career fair brings internship opportunities Julie Blanco & Aimee Breaux

The Battalion Now that students are back into the rhythm and excitement of spring semester classes, they have another important task to add to their planners — find a job. Engineering students on the hunt for a summer internship, co-op or full-time job have the opportunity to showcase themselves to recruiters Tuesday at the Engineering Career Fair. The Texas A&M Engineering Career Fair is one of the largest career fairs in the nation, with this year’s spring career fair prepared to host more than 250 companies and 6,500 students. “Each previous career fair has been record setting by students and companies attending,” said Alex Herring, senior aerospace engineering major and vice president of development for the Student Engineers’ Council. “What makes the spring career fair special is the fact that so many companies want to hire A&M engineers. I always hear stories of CEOs who are A&M graduates who only hire Aggies.” James Zhang, junior electrical engineering major and marketing chair for the Student Engineers’ Council said the Engineering Career Fair is an important event to go to as an engineering major. “The career fair is the manifestation of the Aggie

Network,” Zhang said. “The majority of technical recruiters are from A&M.” Regardless of classification, all engineering students are encouraged to participate in the career fair to gain experience with job recruiters and learn about opportunities in their field of study. “I highly encourage underclassmen to attend,” said Ryan Haughey, senior aerospace engineering major and president of the Student Engineers’ Council. “It’s very important for freshman and sophomores to get used to going out and selling themselves to companies.” Students who land an internship with a company at the career fair may also develop a future career with the same company. Roland Cupaioli, Class of 2012, said he had a procurement internship with Siemens’ Procurement Leadership Development Program during the summer of 2011 that lead to a job offer postgraduation. Cupaioli said the level of responsibility he was given with tasks such as managing a new database tool that kept track of supplies used by Siemens and being a liaison for information helped to develop him professionally. “The biggest thing I took away from [the internship] was the ownership that you had as an intern — how big that plays within the grand scheme of things,” Cupaioli said. “The work I did trans-

Jenna Rabel — THE BATTALION

The Engineering Career Fair will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Reed Arena. A list of attending companies can be found at sec.tamu.edu. pired to the outcome. It wasn’t just busy work. It was something that meant something at the end of the day.” A characteristic of the career fair that makes it impressive to company recruiters is that students are the ones responsible for its production. “We are the sole organizers of the career fair,” Haughey said. “What makes it unique is it’s entirely planned and put on by students, solely for students.” Companies attending the Engineering Career Fair range from oil and gas to business companies, such as Capital One, who comes to the career fair because of their interest in the problem solving aspect of engineers, Herring said. Before students find their way to the career fair, they are encouraged to research what companies will be there and plan out the ones they would like to speak to. The Student Engineers’ Council website has a com-

plete list of companies attending and also a company search filter to help students find specific companies that suit their engineering major and job interests. And in order to help facilitate students’ trek across campus to the career fair, Transportation Services has scheduled a bus route directly from the Zachry Building to Reed Arena beginning at 8:30 a.m. Although this year’s career fair has not seen much change since the 25 by 25 initiative announced last week, future engineering career fairs may soon feature more companies and even more students. “The 25 by 25 initiative means we’ll have a larger number of students and it will also bring lots of opportunities for students,” Haughey said. “It builds on itself. There will be a large pool of quality students and they will get the interest of companies.”

Charges dropped against 1 in Houston shooting Prosecutors dropped charges Monday against a 22-year-old man who authorities initially believed was involved in a shooting that wounded him and two others at a Houston-area community college. The shooting comes amid a heated debate in the Texas Legislature regarding concealed carry on college campuses. Sen. Brian Birdwell, R-Granbury, filed a bill in the Senate Jan. 17 that would allow concealed carry on campus, and Rep. Giovanni Capriglione, R-Southlake filed a similar bill in the House. Carlton Berry was arrested soon after the Jan. 22 shootings at Lone Star College and charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. But authorities later accused another man, Trey Foster, 22, of being the shooter. Foster has been charged with two counts of aggravated assault and faces a charge of resisting arrest in an earlier case. He was arrested Friday

in the Dallas suburb of Plano. Harris County Sheriff Adrian Garcia defended his agency’s initial arrest of Berry, saying two of the victims initially indicated that Berry was the shooter. He also said Berry at first refused to talk to investigators, and it was only after he was charged that he pointed authorities to Foster. Investigators say the shooting happened after 25-year-old Jody Neal bumped into Foster while Foster was walking with Berry. Foster and Neal argued but went their separate ways. But when the two ran into each other 30 minutes later, they argued again and Foster fired at Neal, wounding him in the abdomen and leg. Berry also was shot and wounded, and a maintenance worker for the college, Bobby Cliburn, 55, was hit in the leg. Berry’s attorney, Robert A. Jones, said his client never should

pearance Monday. He is being held on bonds totaling $100,000, and if he posts them, a judge ordered him subject to GPS monitoring and a curfew. Quanell X, a community activist and a spokesman for Foster’s family, said Foster told him Berry had nothing to do with the shooting. Berry and Foster apparently knew each other from school. “It was inappropriate and wrong for Trey to have a pistol on campus,” he said. Quanell X said Foster legally bought the .40-caliber handgun authorities say was used in the shooting at a sporting goods store in Houston. Foster took a class for a concealed handgun license but had not completed the process to get a license, he said. Garcia said investigators confirmed Foster bought the gun at the store, but noted there are questions about whether he should have

been allowed to do so because of his criminal history. Jess Myers, a spokesman for the sporting goods store, St. Paul, Minn.-based Gander Mountain, said the company couldn’t provide firearms purchase records or comment on an ongoing investigation. “Gander Mountain operates in strict compliance with all local, state and federal laws regarding firearms ownership and fully cooperates with law enforcement,” Myers said in an email. Quanell X said Foster bought the gun to defend himself after he was shot in the face a couple of years ago and had recently been receiving threats. He said Foster panicked during the shooting. “He was very remorseful and sorry that innocent people got shot,” he said.

Higher Education Committee, and said he was concerned about the proposed budget cuts in an interview with the San Antonio Express-News. “We need to take a serious look at expanding our investment,” Branch said. “We need to keep up with student growth. We also need to make sure that we have the tools and equipment in place for our students.” The legislative committees for the 83rd session will not be finalized until the end of February. At that time, the committees will meet and make more changes to the state budget. The proposed cuts to higher education and how to allocate the surplus will not be decided until the state budget is finalized in May. “More cuts mean cuts in the quality and quantity of education,” said Katie Ritchie, junior biomedical sciences major. “How are problems supposed to be solved if we don’t have thoroughly educated individuals to propose solutions? And if there is a surplus in the budget, shouldn’t we pump more money into higher education — into our future? It’s not rocket science; it’s funding rocket science.”

“The University essentially had two choices to make ends meets: raise tuition and fees or reduce expenditures; Texas A&M did the latter,” said University President R. Bowen Loftin during a Senate testimony Monday. “The University cannot continue to do so and remain nationally competitive, hold and attract top faculty and offer high-impact experience for Texas A&M students if funding is not enhanced.” The Texas Legislature estimated that for the 2014-2015 fiscal years, the state budget will be around $89 billion. Regarding higher education, the Senate’s budget for higher education is approximately $12 billion for the 2013 fiscal year. In the new preliminary budget, higher education will receive $236 million less than the last fiscal year. The budget for higher education is less this session because of two one-time expenditures, Hurricane Isaac and the Bastrop wildfires. Hurricane Isaac devastated the UT Medical Branch at Galveston, requiring $142 million for repairs, and the rampant 2011

Berry was shot in the left hip, which Jones said was an indication that Berry might have been facing away or running away from the shooter. “He said that continually, whenever (authorities) talked to him, that he didn’t do anything. But that wasn’t enough. Then they started their investigation based upon his statement and they realized he didn’t do anything,” Jones said. Prosecutor Alison Baimbridge said authorities dropped the charges in the interest of justice. She said that as with any investigation, the more witness interviews and evidence collecting that are done, authorities are “better able to determine who was where, what actually occurred.” Charges were formally dropped during a court hearing Monday, and Berry was later released from jail.

Spring into fashion An early spring means an earlier introduction to this yearâ€™s warm weather looks Lauren Masters

The Battalion New styles and daring combinations are predicted to make appearances this spring season, or, in the case of Texas, just about any day now. Though the official season doesnâ€™t begin until March, spring trends and styles are already making their way to boutique and department store racks. The slow return of warmer days and greenery brings with it a colorful assortment of new styles and fashion. From feminine and edgy to clean cut and light, students have much to look forward to and possibly a few purchases to make in the next few weeks. Amanda Hoffman, senior English major and sales associate for a local womenâ€™s boutique, said this seasonâ€™s trends for women are a contrasting combination of themes and styles. â€œI think mixing really feminine with edgy pieces is the way to go,â€? Hoffman said. â€œLike leather with studs but then a floral dress or something.â€? It appears as though girly-meets-punk is the look to aspire to for women this season. According to Hoffman, popular items include leather and denim jackets, lacey tops and flowery patterned pieces. She said itâ€™s not new items that are trending this spring, but rather the pairings of differently themed pieces. â€œI think there will be a lot of pastels and lace,â€? said Victoria Gamez, junior health major and sales associate for Pine, a boutique in College Station. â€œLike seethrough lace, where you can wear colorful stuff underneath.

She said the cut of a top or skirt can put a whole new spin on the outfit. â€œThere are a lot of the peplum tops â€” those are huge too,â€? said Shelby Hawkins, a sales associate for Merge, a local womenâ€™s boutique. â€œI think that the high-low dresses and high-low skirts will still be big.

Whatâ€™s got you excited about the spring fashion season?

are shorter will also be in.â€? Of course, no outfit is complete without the right accessories. â€œI think that bubble necklaces are going to be way huge,â€? Hawkins said. â€œI love the bright-colored bubble necklaces with solid-colored, long-sleeve dresses. They would be cute with boots or wedges.â€? Kayla Cavazos, junior international studies major, said sheâ€™s excited to wear lighter clothing and footwear again. â€œIâ€™m excited to get back into sandals and skirts,â€? Cavazos said. â€œIâ€™ll miss the boots, though.â€? For the guys this spring, Tai Ma, the menâ€™s department manager at Dillardâ€™s, said the traditional polo and dress shirt cuts will remain in style but with new colors and shades to show. Of course, menâ€™s staple jeans and khakis are also sticking around. â€œWe have the same classic styles coming in,â€? Ma said. â€œBut weâ€™re also seeing a lot of linen, lighter colors and pastels. Weâ€™re moving away from our cardigans and winter colors and transitioning with the seasons.â€? Ma said menâ€™s fashion doesnâ€™t alter as drastically as womenâ€™s. For men, jeans, traditional button ups, plaid and a myriad of color combinations are here to stay. Wilkins Vargas, senior political science major, said heâ€™s missed the warm weather clothing but believes menâ€™s fashion will stay the same this season. â€œI think with guys, itâ€™s really just jeans and a traditional shirt,â€? Vargas said. â€œIt doesnâ€™t really change for us much.â€?

As the title of the exhibit suggests, the overarching theme of the display has to do with the juxtaposition of reality and fantasy. One side of the exhibit is marked with the word â€œTruth.â€? This side exclusively features the work of Dave Einsel, who simply captured his experiences around the world through the lens of a camera. The other side of the exhibit, marked â€œLies,â€? showcases Sebreeâ€™s art: colorful and heavily manipulated photographs of artists, athletes, actors and other celebrities. Both artistsâ€™ works meet in the middle, hung in pairs side by side. â€œWeâ€™re both fans of each otherâ€™s work but we both do very different work,â€? Einsel said. â€œI think our work compliments each other so well that it just works. Iâ€™m still trying to get my head around it.â€?

Many of the photos feature victims of drug wars, mass genocide and poverty. â€œItâ€™s interesting. Some of itâ€™s shocking, but I think thatâ€™s the approach theyâ€™re looking for,â€? Steven Cutting, senior economics major and student worker at the J. Wayne Stark Galleries said. Greg Phillipy, Curator of Education Public Programs at the University Art Galleries, said he believes the exhibit is about reunion and different perspectives on a specific theme. â€œEach of the photos has a story,â€? Phillipy said. â€œTo me, the exhibit is about their friendship and two lives that were connected as Aggie students, each in a different career path; two different approaches to a central theme.â€? The exhibit is composed of several contrast-

ing views and specific installations that show similar, paired images in different ways. One such display in the exhibit highlights the use of a cross to make different points, another demonstrating the use of blood and the theme of death in dissimilar ways. â€œThe symbols are the same, but the interpretation they use and the iconography--the imagery is completely different,â€? Phillipy said. Sebree said the show was hard to explain, but that he and Einsel hope to evoke some type of response from audiences. â€œItâ€™s tough to define,â€? Sebree said. â€œI would describe it as an experiment. Weâ€™re just trying to see what response we get.â€?

Blair, Kennedy regroup for back half of SEC play The Battalion With one coach heading a team with a 6-1 record and the other holding a team together in the midst of a four-game losing slide, head coaches Gary Blair and Billy Kennedy engaged the media Monday. Blair’s women’s basketball team, which stayed put at No. 16 nationally after a two-win week, prepares for a visit from Vanderbilt this Thursday. Kennedy’s men’s basketball team has lost four in a row after winning its first two SEC games and will travel to Mississippi State on Wednesday. The women won at Mississippi State 81-33 and at home against Missouri 77-58 last week. Senior guard Adrienne Pratcher (six made threepointers) and freshman Peyton Little (five) provided the bulk of an arena-record 12 threepointers Sunday against Missouri. Blair said the perimeter success was a result of balance. “We played as well as we could against Mis-

souri,” Blair said. “The first half, our kids were on fire. They were clamping down on Bone inside and she was kicking it outside. With Pratcher and Little hitting the threes, I think we’ve got a great balance of inside and outside.” Blair said Bone (averaging 17.6 points and 9.7 rebounds per game) has emerged as the impact player many expected her to be, even if she didn’t do it on their schedule. “Bone was the most discussed and cussed player we had last year,” Blair said. “Everybody expected [Bone] to come in and be the Danielle Adams type player and she’s had to wait a year to turn into that kind of player.” Blair said Vanderbilt is an offensive-minded team, but scheduling favors A&M. “We had the perfect scenario getting Missouri before Vanderbilt because they play the same style,” Blair said. “Missouri just doesn’t have the finishers Vanderbilt has.” After a win in Kentucky — riding a 40-point long-distance shelling from senior guard Elston Turner — the men’s

team has lost four straight games to fall to 2-4 in SEC play. Kennedy said his team has refused to quit. “We have to continue to fight because there are a lot of good things going on in our program,” Kennedy said. “Our guys are sticking together and getting a lot of experience.” Kennedy called this a “transition period.” “Culturally, our base is building and getting stronger in some areas that you can’t see,” Kennedy said. “We will have seven new guys next year. When you have to restore your program with 13 new guys in two years, it takes time.” Kennedy said his next opponent, Mississippi State, is dealing with the same issues as A&M. “They are playing a lot of young guys and have had a lot of adversity and injuries but they are very capable of winning on their home court,” Kennedy said.

and then add premium seating above that. Second deck and third deck will remain unchanged, the bathrooms and concessions will be renovated to some degree.” While the number of seats available to students will remain consistent, A&M vice president of marketing and communications, Jason Cook, said other universities demand several thousand dollars for seat licenses and tickets for the prime seats between the 40 and 50 yard lines that A&M students retain in Kyle Field. “This certainly affects annual revenues for the Athletic Department and financing options for the stadium renovation,” Cook said. “But it’s a sacrifice that we are willing to make to ensure that Texas A&M remains the home of the 12th Man.” Texas A&M, Arkansas and LSU are the only SEC schools that do not require students to pay mandatory fees to support athletics. To discuss revenueraising possibilities from students, Loftin met with vari-

ous student leaders, including representatives from the Yell Leaders, Corps of Cadets, SGA, MSC, 12th Man Student Foundation, Student Athlete Advisory Committee and other groups. “I asked that the student leaders consider these options and then provide their feedback to me before we take any additional steps,” Loftin said. Among those present was MSC president Tyler Stewart, who said student leaders were presented with options to take back to their constituents. “They offered three different options,” Stewart said. “The possibility that students could help pay for it solely through a fee or that students could help pay for it solely through an increase in football ticket prices or possibly a combination of those two things.” A student fee increase isn’t a new venture for Kyle Field renovations. When the third deck was added in the early 1980s — a nearly $21 million project — about 40 percent was afforded by athletic concessions, local funds and student fee revenue bonds. When improvements and additions to the second

deck were made in 1967, student fees and athletic revenue covered the $1.9 million cost. The most expensive renovation to Kyle Field without consideration of inflation, since its $345,000 original construction, was the addition of the Zone for more than $30 million, which was funded by seat license and ticket sale revenue. At last week’s Student Senate meeting, SGA had a few propositions, which if passed will be sent to the A&M administration for consideration. Three plans were proposed after a failure to overturn Student Body President John Claybrook’s veto of the Kyle Field Renovation Bill, which stated Student Senate would oppose any increase in mandatory fees for the renovations. The front runner plans proposed by SGA members were Claybrook’s plan to raise threefifths of the total with an increase in sports pass costs and two-fifths from student fees, Student Senate Speaker Scott Bowen’s proposal to tap into the University Advancement Fund, and a plan to help raise revenue through the sale of alcohol during football games.
