‘we remember them’ Remembrance set for Monday Caroline Corrigan The Battalion

onday will mark the 14th year the Aggie community has come together to remember the 12 killed in the Aggie Bonfire collapse of Nov. 18, 1999. For the first 10 years after the collapse, family members were heavily involved with the ceremony and have since shifted more of the responsibility to the students. The ceremony will be held at 2:42 a.m. Monday at the Bonfire Memorial. The event is to be more of a celebration of the lives of the fallen than previous ceremonies. The ceremony will open with a moment of

silence initiated by the Yell Leaders and followed by the singing of “The Spirit of Aggieland.” Ryan Crawford, head Yell Leader and senior political science major, said he will speak and read the poem, “We Remember Them,” for the lives lost. “In a similar spirit to Silver Taps and Muster, Bonfire Remembrance is a way for us to stand and say ‘here’ for our fallen Aggies and to let their families know that we are here to support See Bonfire on page 2

RING DAY COME TRUE Samantha Latta

The Battalion or most Aggies, Ring Day is a time of joy and pride as they place a symbol of their identity and accomplishments on their right hand. But as students pose for photos and receive congratulations from friends and family, they may forget the students who should be sharing the experience, but can’t afford the expense. This year, senior communication major, Leslyn Felder, and senior economics major, Gretchen Gerken, teamed up to make a difference in their friend Tacho Fernandez’s life. When Fernandez, a senior political science and philosophy double major, wasn’t going to be able to afford his ring, Felder and Gerken created a PayPal account and Facebook event to raise money. “When it comes to Ring Day, everybody gets so excited, but then tends to forget the fact that not everybody gets [a ring],” Felder said. “That was the biggest thing for us that made us realize that Tacho [Fernandez] may not

Friends rally around goal of student’s ring fund get his ring if we don’t do something about it. I can’t imagine him not being a part of that — he deserves it so much. I thought if I walked away with a ring and he didn’t, something is wrong with the world.” Felder and Gerken said the idea first came while listening to a speech given by former Student Body President John Claybrook at last year’s Aggie Muster. “[Claybrook] was talking about his time at A&M and how one of his greatest experiences was watching a group of friends band See Fernandez on page 2

new project may soon be added alongside ongoing Kyle Field construction, but the proposal to add a fourth parking garage to the University’s planned parking expansion is not without controversy as students and Transportation Services clash over possible parking rate increases. The inclusion of a Kyle Field parking garage, in addition to three others tentatively planned, could potentially increase parking pass costs by either 20 or 22.5 percent over the course of several years, said Peter Lang, executive director for transportation services. Lang said the figures are far from finalized. “The plan is not a done deal,” Lang said. “[We’re] seeking guidance on what to do. We’ve talked about doing some different scenarios. [It is] kind of a moving target and it’s still something that’s very much up in the air.” The possibility of increased parking pass costs drew condemnation from the Student Senate on Wednesday as they passed an emergency piece of legislation expressing opposition toward a parking garage construction funded by increased parking fees. “The vote for the Kyle Field renovation fee last spring was predominantly against raising student fees to fund additions to Kyle Field,” said student senator Matt Valentin, sophomore political science major. “I don’t believe that this will be any different. With two other garages nearby, this may be a hard sell for students and staff that need to park on campus.” Lang said Transportation Services and the Council for the Built Environment have been discussing possible new parking See Parking on page 4

he idea was planted with a love for music and nurtured by the hands of Layne Schmerin and Sam Scott before quickly growing into a music festival that attracted hundreds. This year, Hullabalooza has moved to Texas World Speedway to accommodate the concert-goers attracted by the big, cross-genre names performing at the one-day music festival. For Amy Durand, sophomore biology major, this is more than just a concert. In her senior year of high school, her boyfriend Sam Scott was in the process of creating a concert in College Station for Blink-182. After she decided to attend Texas A&M, he became more ambitious in his plans. Scott and Schmerin worked to assemble artists such as Rusko and AWOLNATION for a music festival that took place last year. “Hullabalooza means so much to

together to get someone their Aggie Ring, and, at that moment, we just immediately looked at each other and we said ‘This is us, he is talking straight to us,’” Gerken said. The girls approached Fernandez last April to let him know about their plan and put it into action before the summer break began. “I probably wouldn’t have been able to get my ring until after I graduated,” Fernandez said. “More than anything, this speaks for how incredible people at A&M are. [Felder and Gerken] are incredible friends and they really epitomize what it means to be an Aggie.” The fundraising kicked off in May and $200 was donated in the first 24 hours. By August, Felder and Gerken said the full $1,086 required to purchase Fernandez’s ring had been donated. “Honestly, it was so easy to do this, we didn’t have to do anything besides make the Facebook event,” Gerken said. “We didn’t have to do any fundraisers, we just put a few posts on Facebook about once a week and the money just kept coming in. It speaks volumes to the man Tacho [Fernandez] is because if you met him, he’s impacted your life in a positive way.” When the goal was met in August, Felder and Gerken couldn’t wait to give Fernandez the good news. To surprise him, they had a close friend go to his apartment, blindfold him

and told him to get in his vehicle for a surprise road trip. “I had just gotten back to College Station and as I was unloading my car my friend Jasper pulled up into my driveway,” Fernandez said. “He put a black blindfold over my eyes and said ‘Get in the car.’ That was really sketchy, but I jumped in the car with him, naturally, like anyone else would.” Fernandez was driven to the Aggie Ring statue at the Clayton Williams Alumni Center where several of his friends, including Felder and Gerken, were waiting for his arrival. When the blindfold was lifted, Fernandez saw a group of his close friends holding a banner that read, “Save the date, we love you Tacho,” revealing the official success of the fundraiser. “Getting the ring itself is just such a incredible moment for an Aggie and I think that’s something every Aggie can very easily relate to because its just something inherent that every Aggie feels,” Fernandez said. “But when it’s coming from a group of people that you care so much about and having them do this for you, it’s just overwhelming.” Just when they thought this event had exceeded all expectations, Felder and Gerken said they noticed that they were continuing to receive donations even after posting that the goal had already been met. The event ended up raising a total of $1,200, so Fedler and Gerken decided to use the surplus to make Fernandez’s experience even more special. Because Fernandez’s hometown of El Paso

me because I was so proud of Sam for putting together this festival last year for the first time,” Durand said. “I was lucky to actually help him on the day of the show, talk to the artists to help them get ready and prepare the show.” Scott died in January of this year at age 18. Hullabalooza’s success just a few months prior to his death was one of his proudest accomplishments, Durand said. Scott was buried in his Hullabalooza shirt and favorite polo that he wore to the event. “When Layne [Schmerin] texted me this year that there was going to be a Hullabalooza this year, I was a little unsure about how I felt,” Durand said. “This was Sam and Layne’s thing and I was upset Sam wasn’t going to be here for the show. But the more I thought about it, I’m so blessed that they decided to put on the show again. It’s amazing to see how something I watched Sam put his sweat and blood into from July to October is going to continue for another year and with another amazing lineup.”

This year, Flux Pavilion, Zeds Dead, Cherub and a DJ set from Passion Pit will be in attendance for fans of electronic dance music. For hiphop lovers, Ludacris, Riff Raff, The Niceguys and Childish Gambino will perform. And Josh Turner and Cory Morrow will be representing College Station’s country roots. The concert will be presented on two separate “Yin and Yang” stages, each featuring different genres of music. Tickets start at $75.50, but opportunities to win free tickets were made avaible on the Hullabalooza Facebook page. “My friends and I dressed up as Duck Dynasty for the costume contest and won two free tickets,” said Zach Lawley, sophomore business administration major. “I am really excited to hear all the artists coming in.” The concert will kick off on the Yang stage at noon Sunday with Cassie Nicole, The Pilots and Blunt Force.

is a 10-hour drive from College Station, his parents weren’t going to be able to make his Ring Day. Felder and Gerken took the extra money and gave it to Fernandez’s parents to cover the cost of traveling and provide the family an opportunity to share the special day together in Aggieland. “When I told [my mom], she had to have me explain it like three different times and she kept saying ‘What do you mean, is this some sort of loan or how does this work?’” Fernandez said. “I could tell she was crying when I told her about it and she explained how this happening was like a reciprocity system of life — you give love to all and receive love in return. [Felder and Gerken] say things about how I’m such a great guy, but really I’m just a normal person. It’s those two that are the amazing ones.” Fernandez’s parents used the donation money to travel to College Station on Thursday along with several of his aunts, uncles, cousins and friends to celebrate his accomplishments. For Felder and Gerken, it was all more than worth it. “For anyone that knows Tacho, you know he’s going to do anything and everything asked of him,” Gerken said. “He’s going to be an amazing friend, he’s positive, energetic, just honestly the best person you could ever meet, and the most caring and genuine person. I think this is just a little bit of what we can give back to him. It’s definitely one of my proudest moments at this University.”

them,” Crawford said.” A Roll Call for the Absent will be held for the 12 and a candle will be lit in each portal of the memorial as each name is called. Graham Shelby, internal vice president of Student Government Association and senior finance major, said the ceremony provides a chance for current students to show support even though the tragedy took place before their time at A&M. “It is a really good opportunity for students to be a part of an internal piece of Aggie history, to celebrate those lives,” Shelby said. The ceremony will end with the singing of “Amazing Grace,” as the candles are extinguished. Dennis Mills, Class of 2000 and former member of Company A-2 of the Corps of Cadets, said he was a part of the Aggie Bonfire construction in 1999 and was about to start his Bonfire duties with his outfit when the structure collapsed before his eyes. He said the experience united everyone together as a family. “You don’t ever want to forget what happened,” Mills said. “A lot of people worked hard on the Bonfire and it’s something you don’t want to forget. You want to remember all the hard work put into it. You want to remember the lives lost, working on such a big tradition for A&M. They did it for their school. They did it for tradition.” Souad Barry, freshman general studies major, said it is important to remember those Aggies who were lost in the tragedy. “Even though I wasn’t there the year it had happened, I still feel emotionally connected to it because of the Aggie family,” Barry said. “The amount of care we have for each other in the Aggie family is so unique in that way.”

Indian music festival to advance cultural cohesion

Lauren Simcic

The Battalion eaving their own unique strands into the tapestry of the Aggie family, Indian students will present Baithak, an Indian classical music festival, Saturday on campus. The series of music and dance performances, hosted by the Society for Promotion of Indian Classical Music and Culture Amongst Youth, SPICMACAY, will take place at 5 p.m. in Zachry Auditorium. The name, “Baithak,” comes from a Hindi style typical of a home concert, said Prerna Jain, president of SPICMACAY and chemical engineeering doctoral student. “It is a kind of informal music session within the close proximity of the performer,” Jain said. This year, SPICMACAY will partner with the International Institute for Culture and Performing Arts Development at Texas A&M, said Aparupa Chatterjee, agricultural leadership, education and communications graduate student. Chatterjee said she travels across the country with her dance troupe, Aparupa Chatterjee Dance Company. She said her troupe performs odissi, an Indian performance-style folk dance filled with fluid movements and distinct hand, foot and facial gestures, which was originally only performed by males in a temple setting. Jain said the audience includes people of various races and backgrounds, including professors, students and friend of performers. Jain said she hopes Baithak will encourage youth through the spirituality of the performances. “We believe that the arts have a universal message regardless of their origin,” Jain said. SPICMACAY hosts a cultural festival like Baithak once per semester and attendance aver-

Aparupa Chatterjee, graduate student, performs at a festival in Washington, D.C. ages between 90 to 100 people, said Harsha Nagarajan, former president of SPICMACAY and mechanical engineering graduate student. “The festival reaches out to international students from India, reminding them of home,” Nagarajan said. Children often attend the shows, Nagarajan said, reflecting SPICMACAY’s goal to encourage young talent. “We hope that children in the audience with an Indian base will be able to connect with their culture,” Chatterjee said.

Baithak is meant to include elite performers and not project a commercialized image, Chatterjee said. Jain said she would describe the Indian culture as a “heterogeneous cultural tapestry” that she wants to share with as many people as possible. “All our events are free and open to everyone in an effort to spread the unique richness, beauty and wisdom that Indian art forms possess and to help maintain a diverse cultural environment for students and faculty in our University,” she said.

s women navigate a world and a campus that may not present the clearest path to success, the Texas A&M Women’s Resource Center offers direction to students and faculty with events particular to the female experience. The Start Smart Salary and Negotiation workshops on Saturday and the Green Dot Bystander Intervention training on Sunday will be available by reservation only and will focus on teaching skills to women applicable to pre- and post-graduation life. Heather Wheeler, program coordinator for the center, said the workshops will educate women on how to negotiate a fair salary for their first job after graduation. “If you look at research about the gender wage gap, you’ll see in the U.S. women only make about 77 cents per dollar for what men can make and you see that gap actually start in the first job women get out of their college experience,” Wheeler said. “We’re hoping, by teaching women how to benchmark and how to negotiate for a fair salary right out of college, that’ll help lessen the amount of a gender wage gap they experience. “ Rachel Potter, sophomore general studies major, said she doesn’t believe a salary should be adjusted based on the gender of the job applicant, and said women with the same skills and credentials as male applicants should fight for equal pay. “There is a disparity [between the pay of men and women] and the whole, ‘Oh, it’s because the man is the breadwinner of the family’ — most families are blended or different now,” Potter said. “The modern family is really different so you never know if that is a single mom providing for her kids, so she should be getting paid the same amount.” Caitlin Hodge, senior sociology major, said the center and events like the negotiation workshop can be helpful to women by providing them information they may have never known. “Many women don’t know that they’re getting discriminated against,” Hodge

said. “In America we’re basically taught that we shouldn’t negotiate things like [salaries] and we should just go with the flow. I feel like the Women’s Resource Center is important because women do need to become knowledgeable about rights that they have.” The Green Dot Bystander intervention training will focus on teaching students how to properly intervene in violent situations, Wheeler said “When you see two students getting into an argument and it’s getting heated, [the training will teach you] how to intervene in the situation in a way that is going to stop that behavior from happening but also keep you safe,” she said. This semester, the WRC has created a newsletter to keep students updated on what the center is providing and has implemented multiple programs. Wheeler said the center has held two-day Sexual Harassment and Rape Prevention classes for women and has implemented the “Breast Feeding Welcomed Here” campaign. Wheeler said the campaign was thought of over the summer and the center called various building proctors in search of usable space for “Lactation Rooms” across campus for students, faculty and staff whom are mothers and need to breast feed or pump breast milk. “For the last several years, we have periodically gotten phone calls from moms who are students, staff or faculty because they have recently had a child and they need some place to pump on campus,” Wheeler said. “We’ve taken all that information and created [the campaign]. We’ve given placards to the spaces that allow breast feeding as well as, on our website, putting a list of where those spaces are.” When the Aggie Campus Maps website next gets updated, Wheeler said an icon for the campaign will be included so visitors can click and see where the rooms are located. Potter said she is glad the campus is providing the rooms as a resource for mothers. “It is a need and you don’t want to be sitting in the bathroom for an hour, so I think it’s great they have a room for women to do that, feel comfortable and be private,” Potter said.

year, and to be an NCAA Tournament team every year. Here in the state of Texas, we have 19 in a row, and the next closest is a team with two. I think that just shows how special it is.” The fourth-seeded Aggies face a defensiveminded Utes squad that finished third in the Pac-12 this season. The meeting between the two programs will be the fourth all-time with A&M holding a 3-0 series advantage. “They do a good job collectively of taking away spaces to attack in front of their goal,” Guerrieri said. “Their backline does a good job of withdrawing, closing spaces in behind them, but also squeezing spaces between them. So it makes it really tough for teams to put themselves into goal-scoring situations and then they don’t have much time when they get a chance. And, then they have a good goalkeeper who can react and save.” After being selected to the SEC All-Tournament Team and being named MVP of the SEC Tournament, freshman Liz Keester was announced as the TopDrawerSocccer.com Player of the Week on Tuesday. Keester became the first Aggie to earn the TDS Player of the Week since Whitney Hooper received the award in 2009. “It means a lot to get the awards,” Keester said. “The SEC is a really tough conference. With the really talented team we have, it’s a huge honor to be picked out. I owe it all to my teammates. They come out here every day.

garages and the CBE included the Kyle Field area as a possible location for a fourth garage. Three other garages were originally planned for the North Side corridor, the Engineering corridor and as a part of the West Campus housing expansion. Lang declined to comment when asked who first proposed the Kyle Field garage. A Kyle Field garage would help address main campus parking concerns, Lang said. “Over the last decade or so, campus has lost 1,800 [parking] spaces between Texas and Wellborn,” Lang said. “We have the capability in our finances to be able to add some parking back to campus [and we are] seeking guidance on what should the timing be on that and where should those locations be.” The parking spaces were lost due to the

construction of new campus buildings such as the Mitchell Physics Institute and the Arts and Humanities Building, Lang said. Skip Wagner, 12th Man Foundation president, said the 12th Man Foundation has not been involved in the planning of a Kyle Field garage. “It’s not part of the Kyle Field project, so the 12th Man [Foundation] has not had any involvement in the garage planning,” Wagner said. “It’s all still with Transportation and still subject to their recommendations.” Wagner said the Foundation would seek to have its voice heard if the plans were to be finalized, however. “It really needs to work aesthetically with the stadium, because we’re putting a ton of money into the stadium and the facade,” Wagner said. “We would sure care about how it looked and how it would function on gameday, but we haven’t been asked to provide that input yet.”
