Former Obama advisor speaks on sacrifice, White House experiences Homer Segovia The Battalion

n a lecture at the Annenberg Presidential Center Tuesday night, former senior advisor to President Barack Obama, David Axelrod, spoke on his experiences with the Obama administration. Through anecdotes, Axelrod explained what it took to work in the Oval Office and what it means to be a public servant. Axelrod said the responsibilities of being in the Oval Office became apparent on inaugural day, when he was informed there could be a potential terrorist act in Washington. Axelrod said his family was going to church with the Obama and Bush family that day. “When my wife and my son left, I wanted to tell them not to go, but I was told not to say anything and I didn’t,” Axelrod said. “So even before we took office, I got a sense of what the burdens and responsibilities of leadership were.” Axelrod said he was forced to put his personal life and needs aside at times to perform as an effective advisor. Despite almost going bankrupt when health insurance wouldn’t cover his daughter’s health condition, Axelrod said it was his job to advise the president against the current health care reform. “I understood the need for health reform in a very personal way, but my job was to give him the political advice,” Axelrod said. Reduced to tears the night the health care package passed, Axelrod said he thanked the president as a father and on behalf of the millions of Americans who wouldn’t experience the pressures he had personally felt. “[Obama] put his hand on my shoulder and said ‘Well, that’s why we do the work,’” Axelrod said. “That stuck with me. That’s why See Axelrod on page 3

L David Axelrod, former senior advisor to President Barack Obama and director of the Institute of Politics at the University of Chicago, speaks Tuesday at the Annenberg Presidential Conference Center as part of the Bush School’s Distinguished Lecture Series.
ast season on the road, Texas A&M exacted a dominating 63-21 victory over Southeastern Conference division rival Auburn, scoring at-will throughout the night on a Tiger squad in disarray under former head coach Gene Chizik. One season later, Auburn prepares for a Saturday visit to Kyle Field under new leadership — Gus Malzahn — and a Tiger team with many of last year’s players. A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin compared Auburn’s current team to last year’s surging Aggie squad, which finished the season 11-2 with an upset of topranked and future national champion Alabama. “They’re 5-1, and they’re ranked 24th in the country,” Sumlin said. “They’re very different than the team we played last year. It’s a bit like where we were last year. They’ve got a new coach, new energy, new players and they’re playing with confidence. It might be the same guys, but it’s a completely different football team from an attitude standpoint.” Sophomore quarterback Johnny Manziel and A&M’s offensive system produced 49 points in just over two quarters of play last season, See Presser on page 2

echo taps
Sophomore cadet to be honored with ceremony Thursday night Jake Walker The Battalion
C
aleb Tate, sophomore university studies major and member of Company P-2, died Tuesday evening from injuries suffered in a motorcycle accident, a hospital official said. Corps Commander Eric Gil said Tate will be honored at an Echo Taps ceremony at 10:30 p.m. Thursday on the Quad. Tate was traveling on a motorcycle northbound on Texas Avenue when a convertible, occupied by two people, pulled out in front of
him from Southwest Parkway, according to a press release from the College Station Police Department. CSPD said Tate suffered incapacitating injuries from the collision and was transferred to the College Station Medical Center. The occupants of the convertible suffered non-incapacitating injuries and were also sent to the medical center. Echo Taps is a Corps of Cadets tradition held for national tragedies and to remember current members of the Corps who pass away. It is similar to Silver Taps, but geared more
toward cadets, and takes place soon after the occurrence of the event. During the Echo Taps ceremony, one bugler plays a rendition of “Silver Taps” at the end of the Quad and a second bugler at the opposite end of the Quad echoes it shortly thereafter. Immediately following the ceremony, the cadets return to their dorms in silence. Though the ceremony is tailored more toward cadets, it is open to anyone willing to pay their respects.

Grad students continue push for own wildcat Members urged to oppose Student Senate bill Lindsey Gawlik The Battalion
T
he Texas A&M Graduate Student Council (GSC) convened for their bimonthly meeting Tuesday night, where members addressed the Student Senate resolution to denounce the creation of a graduate student wildcat . Ryan Beemer, head of the marketing committee for the GSC and civil engineering graduate student, said he urged GSC members to attend Wednesday’s Student Senate meeting to encourage representatives to vote against the resolution. “The Student Government Association is actually voting on our resolution to try to stop us from having a wildcat,” Beemer said, “So if you were pro-wildcat, then

I would encourage you to find your senator, since the Student Government Association technically represents us as well, and try to convince them that we should have a wildcat.” Beemer said he encouraged his fellow graduate students and all undergraduates to become more informed about the GSC’s opinion on having a wildcat, as well as the history of the tradition itself. “[GSC President Brittany Bounds] wrote a wonderful guest column about it in The Battalion and [GSC member Kevin Andrews] put up a great video on the history of the wildcat tradition on campus,” Beemer said. “Go on our Facebook and check those out.” Bounds also said GSC members should make their voices heard by joining her at the Student Senate meeting. “If you would like to join me in standing up for the Graduate Student wildcat, I would definite-

benching the future Heisman Trophy winner for the remainder of the game. The offense’s high-production proved a blur even for current offensive coordinator Clarence McKinney, who recalled the game’s decision only in flashes of the unit’s quick scoring capabilities. “I don’t really remember a lot of the Auburn game last year,” McKinney said. “I thought the pregame atmosphere was probably the greatest I’ve seen when they release the eagle and the crowd goes crazy, but then we ran up and down the field on them. I don’t feel those players really wanted to play.” A&M enters the game against Auburn — the first of a four-game home stand — coming off a 41-38, last second victory over Ole Miss on the road, which both the players and coach said helped mature the squad mentally. Sumlin said the Aggies attempt to simulate possible situations in practice like the team faced last Saturday in Oxford, Miss., in order to be prepared for
in-game crises. “I would just say we put guys in those situations all the time,” Sumlin said. “You can’t simulate the pressure that’s in those situations all the time, but we take time to show other [games and] all the ways you can show guys what to do and how not to be ‘that guy.’” Senior walk-on wide receiver Travis Labhart played a vital role in A&M’s success against the Rebels, as he caught a team-leading eight passes for 97 yards. The walk-on’s performance came as no surprise to the rest of his teammates. “If you know Labhart, that’s not shocking,” senior running back Ben Malena said. “It’s not shocking at all. He comes in and works every day and he’s a great-minded guy. Him stepping up and making catches is not surprising, but I’m really proud of him.” McKinney said Labhart’s value came from his knowledge of all receiving positions, allowing him to step in anywhere on the field for an injured or unproductive starter. “Spreading the ball around has to do with what the defenses are trying to take away,” McKinney said. “Take a guy like
Mike Evans and the start to the year he had, so he’s got coverage rolling his way. Guys are having their opportunities. A guy like Labhart came in and learned every receiver spot, so he’s very valuable. You can put him out there at any spot and feel confident he’ll catch the ball.” Defensively, the Aggies will face a spread offense under Malzahn with a heavy focus on the run game. As of last week, the Tigers rank seventh nationally in rushing yards per game with the backfield duo of quarterback Nick Marshall and running back Tre Mason, while only hitting 103rd in passing. A&M senior defensive back Toney Hurd Jr. said the Aggie defense’s experience with mobile quarterbacks in practice, such as Manziel and freshman back up Kenny Hill, allow the unit an edge heading into the matchup. “We have one of the most mobile quarterbacks in the game and we practice against him every day,” Hurd said. “We have a great scheme and Coach Snyder always prepares us for whatever the other team has to offer us.”

Senate to address dining, grad student wildcat Aimee Breaux
The Battalion tudent Senate will convene Wednesday to discuss nine bills, including three bills concerning dining services. Student senators will vote on a bill to place flags in every University classroom and a resolution that states the Student Senate is opposed to the creation of a new wildcat for graduate students. Michael Dror, senior political science major, will introduce the Restitution Owed After Compromising the Health and Expectations of Students (ROACHES) Bill, which requests that Chartwells credit four meal trades to all students with Fall 2013 meal plans for their facility inspection failure and the subsequent shutdown of several on campus dining facilities on Oct. 3. The bill also requests that Chartwells issue a formal apology for endangering the health of students. Dror said the bill is an expression of numerous complaints from students. “I had friends both in my caucus and many others who feel like Chartwells isn’t treating them as customers, but rather as captives on account of the monopoly granted to them by Texas A&M,” Dror said. The Continued Opposition to
S
Mandatory Meal Plans Bill, which also expresses disapproval of campus dining services, will be introduced as well. Chris Woolsey, junior political science major and co-author, said the bill is designed to reaffirm the official Student Senate opinion on mandatory meal plans given the past negligence shown by Chartwells and University Dining. Woolsey said the bill is also indicative of the sentiment felt by everyone he has talked to on campus. “[Mandatory meal plans are] stupid, and it’s not how a good economic system should work,” Woolsey said. “I’m fed up with hearing students say ‘I can’t get good food and I have to pay for this anyway.’” Woolsey also authored a bill regarding Dining Services last year that is scheduled for a renewal vote this year. Woolsey said the bill in question, the Condiments are Loved Lavishly Bill, which requests that pump bottles replace packets of ketchup in the MSC, was also a response to constituent requests. In addressing the Graduate Student Council’s recent actions to begin looking for a graduate student wildcat, a resolution against the creation of an additional wildcat will be voted on at Wednes-

day’s meeting. Cary Cheshire, senior political science major and co-author of the resolution, said the Student Senate was put in place to address such issues and that the Graduate Student Council, with nonelected members, does not have the same representative authority as the Student Senate. “I feel like Student Senate is the biggest representative body on campus,” Cheshire said. “Every single one of us was elected, and we’re where students are supposed to go for any formal declaration of student opinion for any issue whatsoever that comes up and in any way pertains to Texas A&M.” Cheshire said the creation of an additional wildcat is not necessary as graduate students already get to participate in what he said is the best wildcat — the senior wildcat. Cheshire said the resolution addresses the idea that a new wildcat would contradict the idea of the traditional wildcat story and that claims of graduate student exclusion are self-induced. “There’s no problem that exists,” Cheshire said. “If anyone feels discluded, that’s their own prerogative because we’ve already let them cut to the front of the line.”
we do the work. I’m proud to be here especially because I believe public service matters. I believe this is why we do the work.” Taking office in the midst of the recession, Axelrod said the Obama administration had to make a series of unpopular financial choices. Axelrod said he informed the president that the bailout of the auto industry and Wall Street would be extremely unpopular, but the president did not listen to his advice. “He listened and he said ‘I know you’re right and I understand why they feel that way, but we’re in the midst of the worst recession since the Great Depression and if we let these companies collapse and let these supply chains that serve Ford collapse, we’re going to lose another million jobs,’” Axelrod said. Without knowing it, Axelrod was with Obama the night he gave the order to have Osama Bin Laden captured. Axelrod said Obama maintained his calm demeanor throughout his correspondence speech that night with full understanding of the significance of his decision. “That’s what the presidency requires,” Axelrod said. “You have to make these life-and-death, sometimes momentous decisions and you make them on the best information you have and you use the best judgment you can muster and then you hope for the best. You need to be able to live with that.” Axelrod said he never thought he would be handling a case like
the Captain Phillips situation, in which a cargo ship was overtaken by Somalian pirates. The Navy SEALS informed Obama that they could successfully save the captain and eliminate the threat, but he only had 10 minutes to approve the final decision. “This is the life of a president every single day,” Axelrod said. “Presidents have to make these kinds of decisions, and frankly, they have to make them and be strong enough to live with the consequences of these decisions.” Tuesday’s event was proctored by Andrew Card, former White House chief of staff under George W. Bush, which Ryan Crocker, dean of the Bush School, said made the event more constructive. “I thought his comments on leadership were very much in keeping with what we try to teach at the Bush School and it was terrific to have the chance to bring David Axelrod and Andy Card together for a very civil, interesting and constructive dialogue,” Crocker said. “We all had the chance to see two great public servants, one republican and one democrat, talk about the importance of that kind of service.” Taylor LaJoie, sophomore political science major, was present at the meeting and said Axelrod left the audience with great insight. “I think that the message that is important is no matter what you do in life, you’ve really got to get out there and get involved,” Lajoie said. “If we go forward, try to actively participate and do whatever we can, then through that action we can make the world and the situation better.”

including those caused by the renovation of Francis Hall. “[Francis renovation is] going to block pedestrian access through the area,” Lange said. “We are going to have to walk around the red fence, so that’s going to be an inconvenience to the area. It’s also going to remove some motorcycle parking for the area that we do not have a replacement option for. We will look to see if we can move it to Lots 6 or 10, but otherwise we are going to be affected by that.” As this year’s AggiesCAN competition is pitting “The Big Six” — GSC, SGA, MSC THE
