Competition food drive bridges gap between athletes, community Lauren Simcic The Battalion

ith the manpower and influence to make a difference, the Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is seeking to bridge the gap between athletes and the community by hosting the annual Aggies CAN food drive. The food drive will collect food and monetary donations during the Texas A&M volleyball and soccer games Oct. 25 and the football game against Vanderbilt on Oct. 26. Aggies CAN is the largest athlete and student-run canned food drive in the nation, according to the organization website. This year, six organizations — the Corps of Cadets, MSC organizations, Graduate Student Council, Student Government Association, Greek Life and Fish Camp — will compete against each other to collect the most donations. “These organizations have a reputation for being active and involved,” said Clifton Harlin, junior petroleum engineer and public relations chair for SAAC. “Aggies are competitive, which is why I have very high expectations.” Nora Skelton, senior university studies major and SAAC historian, said SAAC is working to publicize Aggies CAN

We wear A&M on our clothes every day.” Aggies donated $24,000 and 4,000 pounds of food last See Food drive on page 3

exas A&M’s late September 45-33 victory over Southeastern Conference rival Arkansas was essential to maintaining the Aggies’ national championship hopes, but the road win came at a cost. During A&M’s weekly press conference Tuesday, head coach Kevin Sumlin said senior defensive tackle Kirby Ennis suffered an ACL tear against Arkansas and, following surgery, will be sidelined for the remainder of the season. While Ennis’ impact of the field was meager statistically—with six tackles on the season—the senior provided leadership and poise on a defensive line loaded with underclassmen, including two juniors, a sophomore and four freshmen. True freshman Isaiah Golden will replace Ennis. Golden has received limited reps with the first-team defense throughout the course of the season. Despite the difficulties associated with the transition from backup to starter, Golden’s teammates remain confident he will establish himself among the Aggie front seven. “[Golden] has really proven himself to me,” said sophomore center Mike Matthews. “He doesn’t look like he’s 320 pounds, but he’s a big dude. He’ll push you back a couple yards. From the games I’ve seen him come in, he’s done a great job. He goes up there and gets in the backfield and applies pressure to the quarterback.”

Shelby Knowles — THE BATTALION

Professor Arnold Krammer says his career has allowed him to meet many interesting people.

Krammer: My parents were immigrants — they came from the old country. My parents were Hungarian and I was the first person in my family born in this country. They came in 1939, just ahead of the war. They came in April and the war broke out in September. I was born and raised in Chicago, and I went to the University of Wisconsin in Madison.

THE BATTALION: Why did you choose to become a history professor? Krammer: I grew up with it. I got it from my mother’s milk. That’s all they talked about. That’s what my parents talked about and listened to. We sat around the dinner table and talked about European history. THE BATTALION: What brought you to A&M? Krammer: I was tired of the winters and I was hired at a history conference in 1974. Can you imagine? 1974? THE BATTALION: How have some of your life experiences affected your career and teaching methods? Krammer: I had some of the great history professors at Wisconsin. They were really legendary. I just fell into it. I’d like to tell you I chose the University of Wisconsin because there were so many great people, but really I just got there and found that I was surrounded by some big names in history. I learned at the feet of people who were really great teachers. See Krammer on page 3

But I feel like we’ve got some talent there.” Derek Durant, sophomore industrial engineering major

Presser Continued from page 1

The A&M defense will recover starting freshman linebacker Darian Claiborne, who sustained a thigh bruise against Arkansas, and hopes to bring back junior safety Floyd Raven Sr., who broke his collarbone against Sam Houston State and is “probable” for Saturday. “[Raven] could probably play, but I don’t know how much practice he’s going to get at this point,” Sumlin said. “We’ll see where he’s at and what he can do. He’s probable this week and probably probable next week.” Throughout the press conference, the Aggies’ 30-27 victory over Ole Miss last season remained a common topic as players and coaches alike recalled the close win, which only tilted in A&M’s favor with 1:46 remaining in the game. Due to the scheduling conflicts associated with a 14-program conference, the Aggies will again visit Oxford, Miss., Saturday in hopes of continuing their SEC road-winning streak in the same stadium where it all began. Senior defensive back Toney Hurd Jr. said the win’s adverse conditions unified the 2012 squad, ultimately serving as a spring-

board for the year’s later success. “One of the things I remember is we had a lot of adversity on offense, defense and special teams,” Hurd said. “Through that adversity, though, we found a way to come out with a ‘W,’ and that’s what we’re looking to do this weekend.” During the 30-27 victory, the Aggies suffered six turnovers and fell as far behind as 10 points. Sumlin said while the win failed to hold much weight at the time nationally, it mentally separated the 2012 squad from the previous year’s lead-squandering habits. “You can point back to that and say that was a pretty big deal,” Sumlin said. “I wasn’t here the year before, but all I heard was that we would’ve lost that game. All the emotion in the locker room to go out and win our first road game in the SEC. At the time, everybody said we beat a team that hadn’t won very much. That team ended up being a thorn in everybody’s side.” Entering the game, Matthews said the key to success would be avoiding mistakes the Aggies committed last year in Oxford, noting the A&M offense believed itself to be its own worst enemy rather than opposing defenses. “I feel like we’re unstoppable,” Matthews said. “We’re always driving down the field, making big plays and guys are really playing great. Every time we step on the field, we expect to go out there and put points up on the board.”

IN DISASTER’S WAKE Students voyage to Haiti in effort to serve those still afflicted by earthquake Lindsey Gawlik The Battalion

lthough the tremors faded more than two years ago, many challenges remain in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake that devastated much of the nation. While international attention has already peaked and declined for the Haitian crisis, several Aggies continue to serve those in need through the student organization Live Beyond at Texas A&M. John Mark Vanderpool, president of Live Beyond and senior international studies major, said the organization builds houses, provides clean water projects and funds microfinance initiatives through fundraising and awareness efforts. “We do medical teams in a town called Thomazeau, as well as hunger relief projects, building projects, water purification,” John said. “We also do fundraisers to support the nonprofit.” Live Beyond is a subdivision of Mobile Medical Disaster Relief, a larger nonprofit that was founded by John’s father. The chapter at A&M organizes trips to Haiti to provide relief. Reagan Smith, treasurer for Live Beyond and senior marketing major, said his four trips to Haiti with the organization have changed his life and career goals. “I originally planned to go into business, but once I saw the suffering there in the dental clinics and saw how effective dentistry was for those people who are in pain, I realized that was what I had to do with my life,” Smith said.

Smith said he decided to fulfill the prerequisites for dental school and will be going on his fifth trip to Haiti this winter break. Tori Tackett, junior allied health major and member of Live Beyond, said Haiti is unique and made her appreciate all she has. Tackett said the suffering she witnessed moved her to work to prevent it. “There had been a funeral one day, and a mother walked by crying out in Hatian ‘Why, God, why,’ because her daughter had died of starvation,” Tackett said. Jacklyn Vanderpool, John Mark’s sister and sophomore international studies major, has visited Haiti about 20 times with Live Beyond. She said the trip is a culture shock and volunteers are often overwhelmed, but the contributions of Aggies are remarkable. “There is nothing comfortable about Haiti, and so many people will freeze up, and they don’t know how to handle the situation,” Jacklyn said. “But when Aggies are down there they see there is something that needs to be fixed, they are so good at doing what they are told to do. Aggies are willing to work, to work hard and are joyful while they are doing it.” Live Beyond is holding a garage sale fundraiser Saturday at 402 Welsh Avenue. All funds will go to relief efforts in Haiti. To make monetary donations or to donate garage sale items contact Live Beyond by email at l.b.tamu@gmail.com.

year, and Harlin said this year’s goal is 10,000 pounds of food and $50,000. “This year, we want to blow that number out of the water,” Harlin said. Theresa Mangapora, executive director of Brazos Valley Food Bank, said every dollar SAAC accepts from students buys five pounds of food for The Brazos Valley “[Aggies] can Food Bank. go so far and The food bank do so much. distributes more The food bank started than 4 million pounds of food a 13 years ago, but I year, Mangapora feel like the spirit that said, so donations drives it started 100 are vital to the years ago.” community all year long. — Nora Skelton, senior university Mangapora said studies major and Student Athlete alumni are large Advisory Committee historian contributors to the Aggie CAN drive. “The alumni respect the athletes,” Mangapora said. “They would not react the same way if I were out there asking for donations.” Skelton said the athletes she sees in this project are “service-minded” and feel an obligation to give back. Charity from Aggies does not start and stop with athletes, Skelton said, and the Aggie student body is unique in its commitment to the food bank. “[Aggies] can go so far and do so much,” Skelton said. “The food bank started 13 years ago, but I feel like the spirit that drives it started 100 years ago.” The Brazos Valley Food Bank has 15,000 volunteers annually, Mangapora said, and most of them are from Texas A&M. “We’re very lucky,” Mangapora said. “I keep saying that over and over, but it’s true. We’re very fortunate.”

Krammer: My favorite thing to teach is History 106 and that’s the course that I’ve never not taught. I’ve taught that course every semester for 39 years. I think it’s [my favorite because] it’s introducing students to history, I think it’s bringing them speakers. The holocaust is what my parents were escaping so that’s what we talked about often. Our family friends were Holocaust survivors. So my favorite topic, favorite subject, is 106. I love that class. THE BATTALION: What have been some of the highlights of your career as a history professor? Krammer: That’s difficult to work with. I have bumped into interesting people. Especially at a university — this is where people come. I’ve met everyone from Hitler’s right-hand man, a man named Albert Speer. I spent the day with Muhammad Ali. He came here to speak and I was the faculty advisor to the Wiley Lecture Series that year so I was somehow put in charge of taking Muhammad Ali around the campus. I took him to Cain Hall and he posed with all the athletes at the time. He gave me his book while he was there and he signed it saying, “Mr. Arnold Krammer, service to others is the rent we pay for our room in the ever after.” Gosh, I’ve met all kinds of interesting people. This is the place to do it. People come to a university to speak. THE BATTALION: What is your favorite part of your job? Krammer: Teaching students. I just love teaching, I’m good at it. I’ve won every teaching award; college teaching awards. It’s teaching I love to do. It’s one of those things — I’m doing exactly what I want to do,

rom cupcakes to decorated bras, the Texas A&M chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha is working to sprinkle a little pink on campus with a week of activities. Think Pink week started on Monday with yogurt eating and will continue through to the cupcake fundraiser on Thursday, all to increase breast cancer awareness. “Essentially it is a way for us to promote breast cancer education and awareness on campus and get all of our student body involved,” said Elizabeth Lucas, junior community health major. “We want to turn the school pink.” The main attraction of the week is “Big Man On Campus,” a male talent show featuring various representatives from Greek Life and the Corps of Cadets, among others. “We start off with 24 contestants at the beginning of this week,” Lucas said. “They compete throughout the week and at the end the top-12 men from organizations will go on to compete in ‘Big Man On Campus.’” As a part of this challenge, Lucas said contestants decorated bras Tuesday evening to reflect their personality, the organization they represent and breast cancer awareness. Students will be able to vote on their favorite decorations from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday in Rudder Plaza. “We are giving them the option after 2 o’clock to walk around wear it,” Lucas said. “That’s up to them. We are not forcing them to do that, but a lot of them are really excited about it, strangely.”

“[What] I’ve learned is that anyone is susceptible to breast cancer no matter your age, gender or race. One of my aunts passed away due to breast cancer last year, so I want to help raise money for research in this field.” — Cole Dotson, senior nuclear engineering major

Cole Dotson, senior nuclear engineering major, said while competing helps gain attention for his fairly new fraternity, Alpha Tau Omega, the events have a deeper, more personal meaning to him. “[What] I’ve learned is that anyone is susceptible to breast cancer no matter your age, gender or race,” Dotson said. “One of my aunts passed away due to breast cancer last year, so I want to help raise money for research in this field.” Boston Prachyl, freshman general studies major who will be representing One Army in the “Big Man On Campus” competition, said he was participating to raise money for a worthy cause while representing his organization, but he was going to require assistance to decorate his bra. “For the bra decorating contest I am a little nervous,” Prachyl said. “I’ll be looking for a lot of help from my Zeta partner because I am definitely not a crafty person.”
