hat was once a cadet’s simple way of showing how much he loved Halloween has become a tradition spanning four decades, making it one of the oldest traditions in the Corps of Cadets. Friday night will be no exception, as Company C-2 — Old Army Cock Company — will celebrate its favorite holiday with the Flight of the Great Pumpkin. Flight, which consists of pumpkins, flames and chants, will begin at about 10 p.m. on the Quadrangle. Juniors and seniors from the outfit will participate in the tradition, which has changed over the years since it began in the mid 1960s. Originally, Flight consisted of
the sophomore class — with one of their own designated as the Great Pumpkin — that would try to run through the band dorm with a broom lit on fire, said Ken Fenoglio, Class of 1970 and C-2 alumnus. “It was good bull,” Fenoglio said. “We ran through the dorm on the first [floor]. That was all we could get to get out with our lives.” Today, Flight consists of the juniors and seniors — complete with the Great Pumpkin — marching
down the Quad carrying torches. But Gerald Smith, Class of 1982 and director of the Veteran Resource and Support Center, said some of the Old Ags who come to see Flight wish to see its original form. “We very much like to see it like the old tradition with flaming brooms and marching up with 15 or 18 of us against all the freshmen in the Fighting Texas Aggie Band,” Smith said. When Smith participated as a member of Cock Company, Flight was much more dangerous than it is now, which is what constituted changes. He said the changes have been for the better. “It was a very unsafe practice, and we were allowed to do pretty much what we wanted,” Smith said. “The outcomes of the Flight

[now] and what it does to unite C-2 with our alumni is a very positive … tradition.” The tradition has shifted from competing with the band to gathering alumni with current cadets for support and camaraderie.
Nobody outside A&M is going to understand why a bunch of people would get together, carve out a pumpkin, light a torch and run around the Quad.” — Ken Fenoglio, Class of 1970
“C-2 is one of the top few outfits that has really mobilized their alumni support,” Smith said. “It’s brought the C-2 alumni together to join them and they have a very ef-

hat the Texas A&M football team has done up to this point has been nothing short of incredible. The 5-2 Aggies continue to shock the college football world, dismissing critics as they stand a mere eight combined points from an undefeated season in the SEC.

visiting section. The loss would set the tone for another disappointing A&M season defined by crushed expectations. Simply put, those teams lacked what so many great teams possess: consistency. The 2012 Aggies have only just begun to show the all-important, championship winning quality. It’s a trait A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin’s former employer, Bob Stoops, continues to instill at Oklahoma. Stoops would transform a downtrodden program with talent immediately into a contender. In his first season, Stoops led the Sooners to an improbable 9-3 record. The next season, he would hoist the national championship trophy. That’s not to say Sumlin will be winning a national championship in his second season, but he’ll be close to doing so if the A&M program can continue to grow at its current pace. Early indications look promising, as A&M has proven it has the wherewithal to hang with the SEC’s elite. Still, there’s a reason the games are played. A 1-6 Auburn team on the road, if history is any indication, remains dangerous. These are the kinds of games that can kill a season’s momentum. If the Aggies truly wish to become the cream of the crop in the SEC, these are the games they must continue to win. Chandler Smith is a junior communication major and the sports editor for The Battalion.

Chandler Smith: Consistency remains necessary ingredient for greatness
The level of excitement around the Aggie football program exceeds anything seen in over a decade. There’s simply a different vibe, a feeling that the Aggies have finally found their coach — and quarterback — to lead them to the promised land. Finally, there’s a reason to believe the days of pain, mediocrity and disappointment are quickly becoming a phenomenon of the past. Yet through all of the excitement and hoopla, A&M must dodge the traps that ensnared so many Aggie squads before them. They can’t take a 1-6 Auburn team — or any team — for granted. The Aggies must avoid the mistakes that thrust them into their decade-long rut in the first place. It doesn’t take too much reminiscing to remember the pitfalls of past A&M teams as they continued, season after season, to fall to less capable opponents. We remember the 2004 Aggies. A&M was on a six-game win streak with No. 2 Oklahoma on the docket in two weeks. Only one team stood in the way of setting up a colossal ESPN College GameDay matchup with the Sooners — a 2-5 Baylor team in Waco. The Bears edged the Aggies in a thrilling 35-34 upset, dashing A&M’s momentum and hope for a statement season. We remember the 1999 A&M football team coming fresh off a Big 12 Championship season. After three simple non-conference wins, A&M would travel to Lubbock for a showdown with unranked Texas Tech. The Red Raiders defeated the Aggies 21-19, ripping their goal posts out of the ground and ramming them into the A&M
fective reunion.” Fenoglio said C-2 is considered one of the oldest outfits on the Quad because it has never been disbanded since it was formed in 1959 during the Corps’ restructuring. He said for the oldest outfit to carry on one of the oldest traditions is representative of Aggie values. “We always fall back on our past and our storied history that is steep in tradition,” Fenoglio said. “A&M really respects and admires those that have gone before us. We use the lessons learned from that to make the world a better place, to make A&M a better place, to lead the military, to lead companies of this great country of ours.” Fenoglio said it’s an important tradition because as others fade out
Aaron Cranford — THE BATTALION
Christian concert descends on campus to share gospel Alyssa Wynans Special to The Battalion It was hard to ignore the highlighteryellow T-shirts that invaded campus last week. The shirts advertised an event called After Dark that circulates the country and descends on the Texas A&M campus every four years. Since 2000, After Dark has reached out to more than 350,000 students with music and what they consider to be the most important message a person could hear. The event is affiliated with Kanakuk Ministries and combines a free concert and the Christian gospel message into one campus spectacle at universities around the country. Designed specifically to target college students from all walks of life, the event’s purpose is to inspire conversation among students and encourage investigation into Christian beliefs. Joe White, former Texas A&M foot-
ball coach and founder of Kanakuk Ministries, is the lead speaker for After Dark. Lindsey Clayton, senior interdisciplinary studies major, attended After Dark the last time it came to A&M. She said she liked it so much she attended again and brought friends with her. The evening’s special guest was senior A&M tight end Michael Lamothe. This year’s concert portion of After Dark features American Idol winner Kris Allen and hip-hop artist Fedel, but they were preceded by White’s message “Is Jesus Relevant Today?” which was emphasized by the organization as the most important part. “There’s nothing more important than an individual salvation,” said Thomas McNutt, co-head student representative to After Dark for A&M. “Nothing is more important than a person’s soul and a person’s heart.

cifically aims at repairing and fixing college kid’s hearts and souls.� McNutt said the concert atmosphere of After Dark allowed the Christian gospel to be presented in a relaxed and entertaining way that gives students a chance to find hope in an increasingly dark world. The chance to evangelize in this manner is what made McNutt want to be involved with After Dark. “We go to college campuses because it is the most independent time when they are making the most important decisions that will affect the rest of their lives,� said Geoff Todd, director of marketing for After Dark. “The most important topic they can look at is if Jesus is relevant.�
Kanakuk Ministries employs 1,700 college students from across the country every summer in their camps for children, a large portion of whom come from the student body at A&M. “Those college kids would invest in kids all summer long,� Todd said. “So [the founders] decided they would love to go where college students are and invest in them just like they were investing all summer long.� Most attendees said their motivation for attending was to see Kris Allen and they had not heard of Joe White. Jordan Doss-Lomas, junior education major, said she was excited that Kris Allen was playing. “I like it,� Doss-Lomas said. “It brings a lot of new people in and allows even nonbelievers to be exposed to the Word.�

of existence, Flight continues to carry on with pride and honor. “It’s one of the great traditions that has withstood the time,” Fenoglio said. “Becoming the Great Pumpkin is a great honor, you have a mission to accomplish, and you honor the tradition. It made it something fun but also something that was a life lesson.” Caleb Gottlich, senior nutritional sciences major and Company C-2 commander, will be participating in his second Flight, something he said is a humbling experience. “It’s a humbling experience participating in something that’s been around longer than you’ve been born,” Gottlich said. “It’s a cool experience that brings you closer to the school and the guys you’re doing it with and makes you appreciate all the other people who have gone before you.” In order to participate in Flight, juniors have to work for it. Flight marks their transition to being official upperclassmen. “It’s a culminating event that describes how hard you’ve been working,” Gottlich said. “It’s a time of reflection of what you’ve done while here and the guys you’ve gotten close too.” The tradition marks a continued connection between Old Army and New Army, benefitting both current and former students. “As long as it’s continued and it’s healthy and constructive, it provides camaraderie and linkages with the old members of the outfit,” Smith said. “The cadets in the outfit know that they’ve got the tradition of excellence that they AN AD Phone 845-0569 Suite L400, Memorial Student Center Texas A&M University

need to try to continue.” Gottlich said he recognizes and appreciates the presence of the alumni as they continue to support the outfit’s growth and success, despite how the tradition has changed. “Even though the tradition has changed over time it’s still prevalent in the minds of the people that are going through it,” Gottlich said. “Showing the support from the Old Cocks makes the tradition that much better.” Smith said that it has been continued C-2 alumni support that has contributed to the outfit’s recent success. “What C-2 does with their alumni has turned that outfit around 100 percent,” Smith said. “C-2 has done very well, especially the last two years. The Old Ags coming in to help them have been a big part.” Gottlich said for those not in the outfit coming to watch, they shouldn’t expect to fully understand it, but it’s something they can still appreciate. “They should go and appreciate it for what it’s worth,” Gottlich said. “But don’t go fully expecting to understand what it’s about, just like any tradition at A&M when you look at it at face value.” Fenoglio said he encourages other cadets and non-regs to watch the event because of it’s historic ties to the University. “It’s very unique,” Fenoglio said. “It’s something that’s been around for decades and is indicative of some of our past roots and culture of our school. It’s going to be a beautiful, nice cool evening.”

A city police officer was charged Thursday with leading a ghoulish double life by using a law enforcement database and fetish chat rooms to dream up a plot to torture women and then cook and eat their body parts. Gilberto Valle left a trail of emails, instant messages and computer files detailing the perverse and often baffling cannibalism scheme, according to a criminal complaint, which identified two women as Victim 1 and Victim 2. He catalogued at least 100 women on his computer, federal investigators said, but there was no information that anyone was harmed. The officer’s estranged wife had alerted New York authorities to his chilling online activity, triggering the investigation that led to his arrest by the FBI on Wednesday, a law enforcement official said. Some of the information came from his unauthorized use of a law enforcement database.

Q: What are the keys to an Auburn victory? ◗ If Auburn is going to have any chance this weekend, it is going to have to see a vastly improved play from its quarterback. Clint Moseley came in midway through the season to give the Auburn offense a spark, but his play has been largely the same as Kiehl Frazier’s was. Moseley has to help the run game by opening up the pass. If the Tigers are unable to do that, it will be easy for A&M to key on the Auburn running backs and send the offense to the sideline and, consequentially, defeat them.
defensive performances the Tigers have seen all season. McKinzy had 12 tackles, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in his debut, and the team will hope for much of the same this weekend. Defensive end Corey Lemonier is the best pass rusher Auburn can offer, and pressure on the quarterback is one of the most important aspects of defensive success.
Q: Who are the players to watch on offense? ◗ Quarterback Clint Moseley needs to prove that he belongs in the SEC if the Tigers are going to have any chance of success this weekend. Hand in hand with Auburn’s passing success is senior wide receiver Emory Blake. Blake is one of the few offensive players who has had experience with a national championship team, and he will need to assist Moseley as much as possible if the Tiger offense is going to be productive. Tre Mason has established himself as the main running back for the Auburn offense and will need to gain plenty of yards on the ground to open up the air attack.
Q: What are some of the places at Auburn you’d recommend Aggies visit? ◗ Aggie fans should know that Auburn is one of the most hospitable places of all SEC venues, especially on game day. Any shop or restaurant in Auburn’s main downtown section would be attractive to visitors, and there are numerous selections of both. College age crowds will want to check out bars such as 17-16, Quixotes, Skybar and En Fuego, which are sure to be rocking no matter the result of the game.

Q: How has the reception been to A&M joining the SEC? â—— SEC fans are prideful of their conference. That means no one is worthy to join, so naturally, as a long-standing SEC member, Auburn fans were initially skeptical of Texas A&M joining our beloved conference. However, the Aggies are proving they

belong in the SEC with their more than potent offensive attack. But no established SEC team wants to lose, especially to the newcomers. Expect Auburn to throw out all the stops and try to upset the visitors on Saturday.
