Special to The Battalion arker Smith is a normal college student. He goes to class, is a member of the Corps of Cadets, plays intramural flag football, loves football and the Aggies and is involved in many organizations. But everywhere he goes he has a constant companion — Reveille. With the full-time job of being Reveille’s handler, Smith, a sophomore general studies major, said he must leave for every class 30 minutes early to make it on time with his popular companion at his side. “When I am with her, I double my time anytime I have to go to class,” Smith said. “She normally just dozes off in my classes.” To become the handler, Smith had to go through an eight-week tryout that ended on Parents’ Weekend. “The handler comes from E-2, and it is one freshman,” Smith said. “We get the honor of taking care of the mascot. A lot of it is physical, doing runs.
P
Some of it is public speaking and how you represent the Corps and her.” Smith said he knew he wanted to be in E-2, the Corps unit responsible for Reveille. Smith’s brother, Class of 2002, and father, Class of 1974, were in the Corps. “My brother lived with the handler and I always knew I wanted to be in E-2,” Smith said. “[To be the handler] was always in the back of my mind until late in the year when I realized I had a shot at it.” Being the handler does come with some sacrifices, Smith said. “The worst part is when she steals your food,” Smith said. “She’s very mischievous. When we were at my house over the summer, we all left the room and she jumped up on the counter and ate all the chicken breasts.” Smith said the position does have many perks. See Handler on page 4

Tuesday performance inspired by film Elizabeth Evans
The Battalion et out that briefcase full of blues — the Blues Brothers Revue is ready to rock Rudder Auditorium on Tuesday night. Featuring hits from the original film such as “Soul Man” and “Rubber Biscuit,” the Blues Brothers and their eight-piece intercontinental rhythm and blues revue band are ready to give Bryan-College Station a night to remember. Starring Wayne Catania and Kieron Lafferty as Joliet Jake and Elwood Blues, the revue was designed to give the audience the same feel as a concert with the Blues Brothers. “This show is not about the film, but rather what it would be like if Jake and Elwood were doing a concert and out touring,” Lafferty said. “It’s about the music.” The show features music from the hit 1980 film, “The Blues Brothers,” as well as other songs from the band’s five other albums. “This concert is like an encyclopedia of American music,” Lafferty said. “We want the audience to take away from it a moment of joy and leave them remembering these songs and the chance to hear them played with dedication and conviction.”

A&M ranks No. 16 in initial BCS standings
T
he Bowl Championship Series released its first rankings of the 2013 college football season Sunday evening, tabbing Texas A&M as the No. 16 squad in the country. Texas A&M is joined by five other Southeastern Conference programs in the rankings — Alabama (1), Missouri (5), Auburn (11), LSU (13) and South Carolina (21). The Aggies’ remaining schedule includes two teams ranked in the BCS, both of which will come
on the road and will close the season — at No. 13 LSU on Nov. 23 and No. 5 Missouri on Nov. 30. The BCS rankings are divided into three contributing categories: the Harris Poll, the Coaches’ Poll and the average of the computer scores. A&M finished No. 13 in the Harris Poll, No. 15 in the Coaches’ Poll and averaged No. 18 in the computer rankings. James Sullivan, sports editor William Guerra — THE BATTALION

two, including the 63-21 mauling the Aggies put on them last year. However, A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin noted the countless similarities between the 2012 Aggie squad and this year’s Auburn team. “They’re 5-1,” said Sumlin. ”They’re ranked 24th in the country. They’re very different from the team we played last year. They’ve got a lot of energy. In some respects, it’s a lot like where we were last year. They’ve got a new coach. They’ve got new players. They’re playing with a lot of confidence. Gus [Malzahn] does a great job schematically. Ellis Johnson does a great job as the defensive coordinator. The kids believe in what they’re doing.” Belief is something the Auburn athletes played with. I’m willing to bet that the only people among the 87,165 in attendance who believed Auburn would win the game — after giving the ball to Manziel with just over a minute remaining and three timeouts — were wearing Auburn orange and blue. The loss to Auburn proved something to Aggies everywhere: We are not the punching bag of the Big 12 or the bottom-dwellers in the SEC like everyone predicted. We are now the team that others circle on their schedule at the beginning of season — we are now the hunted. Rather than being looked over, we now serve as a measuring stick for other SEC teams to see how they stack up — not only in the SEC, but nationally. Although the loss diminishes the chances of a national title run, or even an SEC title run, our program is not dead. Recruits are no longer laughing at the prospect of going to A&M, they are coming, leaving us something to look forward to. The prospect of having some of the nation’s top recruits heading our way proves that our window for greatness does not close when Manziel leaves. It simply opens a new chapter. Playing in the SEC will come with losses; it’s simply part of the landscape. Anything can happen in college football, and despite having two losses on the season, A&M’s prominence is far from diminishing. It’s a new era in Aggieland, and you cannot deny the fact that our program is, and will remain, on the rise.

Our football program has evolved from the 2011 days of Mike Sherman, when no lead was ever secure. Today, we have the right head coach, we’re in the right conference and we have the right quarterback. But that doesn’t mean that we’re never going to lose another game nor are we invincible. Manziel and the Aggie offense didn’t lose this game, the defense did, just as they did against Alabama, and will continue to do the rest of the season unless something drastic changes, and fast. We cannot expect to continue winning in a conference known for defenses without one of our own. On the Tigers’ final drive — down three with 5:05 left in the fourth — they torched the Aggie defense on 10 plays, which lasted just over four minutes. During that 10-play drive, Auburn passed just three times while running the ball 10. The Aggie defensive-line simply could not get the Tigers off the field as Auburn owned the battle in the trenches. Following the 45-41 defeat at the hands of the Tigers Saturday night, I saw our fans evolving just as our team had. Yes, the loss is a loss, but there is no end-of-the-world feeling like there was following the 27-25 loss to UT or the 30-29 defeat to Oklahoma State in 2011. There is no crying in the SEC, and our fans are finally realizing that. Losing to the likes of Alabama and Auburn, who have both won championships within the past three years, is a much easier pill to swallow than losing to the likes of Kansas State and Iowa State; it just comes with the (SEC) territory. I’m willing to bet that when Johnny Manziel was handed the ball with 1:19 left in the fourth quarter and three timeouts remaining, everyone at Kyle Field had no doubt the Aggies would win the game. It was only a matter of time, and based on previous experience, they would be correct. But that wasn’t the case on Saturday when the Auburn defense stopped the deemed “unstoppable.” We must give credit where credit is due. I tip my hat to the Auburn players for playing in the fashion they did, and where they did it. It’s not easy to come into a rocking Kyle Field and upset the Aggies, much less hold our potent offense scoreless on a game-deciding drive. They’re a good football team, and just as we had to go to Tuscaloosa last year and steal one from the Tide to prove ourselves as contenders, this was the Tigers proving ground. The Aggies came into the game versus Auburn having never lost to the Tigers in the three meetings between the

latino history
Civil rights behind the scene Film to prompt Chicano identity discussion Alexander Nelowet
Special to The Battalion n conjunction with other campus groups, the Department of History will host a screening of “Prejudice and Pride� and a Q&A session with filmmaker John Valdez in hopes of prompting discussion of the Chicano identity and its development with Texas A&M students. Valdez was hired to make the final two of the six episodes of the PBS Latino Americano series “Prejudice and Pride,� which shows local and national activism in the Chicano culture in the 1960s and 1970s and the outcomes that arose from the struggles faced by activists. Valdez said “Prejudice and Pride� helps illuminate a part
I
of history that is traditionally excluded. “Latino History is American history, and for too long we have learned about American history with Latinos being excluded and left along the roadside,� Valdez said. Valdez said the film shows the sacrifices made by Mexican-Americans in the name of civil rights. “Mexican-Americans put their lives on the line, and some have died for the civil rights movement to make America a better place for all people,� Valdez said. While the Department of History is the official sponsor of the event, other sponsors include the MSC Committee for the Awareness of Mexican-American Culture, the Film Studies Department, MSC Aggie Cinema and the Hispanic-Latino Graduate Student Association. “Students wanted to bring
knowledge and discussion to the other students on campus about a very important time in history for Hispanics and Latinos,� said Lyndon Pryor, advisor to the committee for the Awareness of MexicanAmerican Culture. Filipe Hinojosa, assistant professor of history and event coordinator, said the film helps to increase attention on a topic that is continually neglected in curriculum in textbooks pertaining to civil rights across the nation. Hinojosa said the film reminds students of how much the older relatives of the current generation struggled for their place in society, which he said helped open doors for the current generation. The screening will take place from 6-8 p.m. Monday in the Gates Room in the MSC.

Jabbari said his son has never once said that he didn’t want to go to day care and that he has made substantial ground in learning English. “Something that was really unbelievable to me was [Zavash] learning the language,� Jabbari said. “When he came here, he didn’t know one word. Now he’s fluent.� Two teachers have stayed with the program since day one, Andrea Powers and Martey Heard, or Ms. Andrea and Ms. Martey to her small students. Powers said she will occasionally run into families that she has taught over the years, and even though the child may not remember her, stories of Ms. Andrea have been discussed within the family. Heard said she is able to help foster learning within young minds because this is such an age of discovery. “It never ceases to amaze me how they can learn so much at a young age,� Heard said. “The biggest blessing is being able to do what I love every day — working with kids. This is living out my dream. Being able to come to work and being excited about what I do.�

while students majoring in business work with the marketing aspect of the center and students majoring in education are in the classrooms, Lee said. In addition to this funding, the center received a $1 million endowment on behalf of the McFerrin family, which has a long-time friendship with the Gates family. This endowment allows teachers to attend education workshops and purchase supplies for their classrooms. About 40 percent of all slots for children are reserved for University students and a tuition discount on daycare services is offered to parents enrolled at the University. With the center offering a multicultural daycare and preschool program, it has a wide-spanning demographic. Among student parents, a notable population has roots in China, Korea, India and Iran. “Our children come from 22 different countries, and we’ve counted 18 different languages,� Lee said. Many students come in without knowing much English, which challenges teachers to find a way to best communicate. Curriculum and instruction graduate student Nasser Jabbari and his wife send their four-yearold son Zavash to the center. They are both second year P.h.D, students from Iran who searched for a preschool to send their son. “When I came here, it was incredible compared to all the other day cares I visited,� Jabbari said. “Everything is so open. The faculty was very willing to be observed and extremely friendly and caring.�

“The best part is sometimes you kind of forget who she is,” Smith said. “She turns into a normal dog. But when you are walking around and see the smiles on the people around — just being able to see the reactions and being able to make their day is the best. No other campus has the chance to see the mascot besides at football games where they have to sedate them, like Bevo. But with Rev, you can literally see her in Evans and go up and give her a hug.” When Reveille goes home with Smith, she does have to compete with Smith’s own dog. “I have an old lab,” Smith said. “He definitely knew she was the boss. She lets anyone in the room know that. Even though he is an alpha male, she was the boss. She is the head of attention and knows it.” There are many myths about Reveille, Smith said, one of which he wanted to clear up. “People say when she jumps on the bed, you have to sleep on the floor, but she has the whole

bottom bunk in my room, with a TempurPedic mattress,” Smith said. “I sleep on the top and she can’t get up there.” Though the next Parent’s Weekend is months away, Smith knows parting with Reveille is going to be hard. “I feel bad for her,” Smith said. “I know how loyal she is because she gets attached to her handlers. When she was first passed down to me, she was sad, but she eventually warmed up to me. This is her sixth year and she is able to get over the past handler faster because she now knows it is coming.” Jacob Hovey, sophomore international studies major, said he knows how rough the job is on Smith but said he has worked to “bring an excellent image to Miss Reveille ma’am.” Head yell leader Ryan Crawford also attested to Smith’s representation of the University. “Reveille’s handler has a 24/7 job,” Crawford said. “Parker [Smith] doesn’t have any extra time to hold a job. This is his selfless service to A&M. Considering he is a young college student representing the whole University system, he is doing a great job.”
As an Auburn alumni, I had the pleasure of making the trip to College Station yesterday and witnessing an exciting SEC battle (and luckily for us, an Auburn victory). But beyond the football, I must remark on the incredible hospitality we were shown as visitors to your fine campus. As we walked around campus, we were constantly greeted and welcomed to Aggieland. Everyone was also very helpful in explaining the many cheers and rituals, and thankfully, they even told us about making our way to the Quad before the game to watch Step Off. What a great tradition! And how can you not marvel at the precision and talent of the Fighting Aggies Marching Band?! I just hope Auburn fans return the great hospitality we were shown when the Aggies visit “the loveliest village” next year. War Eagle!
