Walk this way Orientation leaders prepare incoming students for conferences
Pointing out important buildings and sharing information about the New Student Conferences, Orientation leaders offer walking tours that depart every 15 minutes from the The Zone Club during check-in for freshman conferences and from Rudder for transfer conferences. Orientation leaders narrate and lead the tours on Pre-Conference Day and Conference Day 1. By Alex Worsham | The Battalion

Aggie grad fights malaria with music Laura Sanchez Special to The Battalion Christina Roberts has two passions in life: songwriting and helping a good cause. Roberts works for Malaria No More, a nonprofit organization that strives to eliminate deaths caused by malaria in Africa. Roberts’ song, “A Closer Far,” joins these two passions by donating some of the proceeds to Malaria No More. “She was sort of inspired by a lot of the things that she saw in Africa and how interconnected everything is. She was working with a lot of kids over there who were affected by malaria and she saw the difference she was able to make with Malaria No More by being able to set bed nets to help these kids lead healthier and longer lives,” said Malaria No More communications officer Emily Bergantino. Roberts is originally from Houston and graduated from Texas A&M in 2001. In 2006, she met the founders of the newly formed organization and decided to work full time for them. “Working and traveling for Malaria No More has not

allowed a ton of time for music, so this is an opportunity for me to bring together two passions I have: one being songwriting and the other being working here at Malaria No More,” Roberts said. The song lyrics address her experience in Africa and what she learned, Roberts said. “It’s more out of the work from Africa and a new perspective,” Roberts said. “The song is inspired by my experiences of the last three years working with Malaria No More.” The organization strives to eliminate malaria deaths by 2015, said Malaria No More chairman Peter Chernin. “It’s an approach as bold as our ambitions and as audacious as our name,” Chernin said. “It’s just what’s required to make Malaria No More.” Approximately 1 million people every year die of malaria, and most are under 5 years old, Bergantino said. “The main thing to know about malaria is that it is a preventable and treatable disease,” Bergantino said. “It can be prevented with a simple mosquito bed net and it can be treated with See Malaria on page 2
As co-directors, the pair is in charge of overseeing 18 New Student Conferences this summer. They organize check-in, give campus tours and help new students interact with one another, Higginbotham said. “The co-directors help coordinate, organize and train the executive committee and orientation leaders,” she said. “We also … serve as support for our amazing executive committee.” The responsibilities could be overwhelming, but not for Higginbotham and Springer, said assistant new student programs coordinator Meredith Malnar. “With 18 New Student Conferences spread over May, June and July, it can be easy to lose steam and grow complacent,” Malnar said. “Megan and Daniel have not done this. They have remained motivated, goal-oriented and committed to providing the best possible

Shuttle set to launch Saturday AggieSAT2 and BEVO-1, satellites created by students from Texas A&M University and the University of Texas at Austin, will launch Saturday from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on Space Shuttle Endeavour. The launch had previously been scheduled to launch June 17. “The launch was delayed from last time because of a fuel leak,” said AggieSAT lab principal investigator and aerospace engineering professor Helen Reed. The leak occurred in the Ground Umbilical Carrier Plate on the external fuel tank system, which carries hydrogen away from the shuttle during countdown. A fueling test this week confirmed the success of recent repairs. “I’m taking a team of students to Kennedy Space Center and we’re going to watch it again,” Reed said. The launch countdown began at 9 p.m. Wednesday. Officials said they are hoping for good weather. “If there are storms, for safety reasons, then NASA would delay launching,” Reed said. “I believe, in looking at the forecast, that the weather is supposed to improve.” If Saturday’s launch is postponed, the launch could still take place through Tuesday, Reed said.

experience for our new students and their families.” Balancing New Student Conferences, though tough, is a joy, Springer said. “It makes things easier to manage when you love what you are doing and you look forward to taking on the next challenge, which is how I feel every time I go into the next program or task that is required of me,” he said. “As long as you keep a positive outlook, things tend to be a little easier and feel less like they are being managed or juggled.” Higginbotham and Springer credit their self-motivation to the 14 members of the executive committee helping out this summer. “None of what we do would be possible without our executive committee,” Springer said. “They have been amazing and have provided the drive my partner and I have needed to make this summer one of the most memorable we have ever had.” AOLP was love-at-firstsight, Springer said. “Once I was in, I fell in love with the organization and decided to get as involved as
I could,” he said. “That’s why I kept coming back — so that I could help out in any way possible.” Higginbotham said AOLP enabled her to do the unthinkable. “AOLP appealed to me because it was more than just paying dues and showing up to a meeting once a week,” Higginbotham said. “AOLP got me out of my comfort zone and made me do things I wasn’t used to, like speaking to over 500 people daily or giving a tour of campus.” Higginbotham and Springer possess the key qualities necessary for directing conferences, Malnar said. “They both have the ability to shift roles and adapt their approach to each individual situation seemingly effortlessly,” she said. “Whether the task of the day is physically moving thousands of boxes from one building to another or helping one of their executives through a personal crisis, they handle it all with poise, efficiency and a positive attitude.” The pair has done much to improve the quality of AOLP, Malnar said. “As co-directors, they were not satisfied with the status quo and pushed themselves and their team toward

effective and inexpensive medicines.” Roberts works as the director of programs operations for the organization and travels frequently to Africa. “She works a lot on the implementation work on the ground in Africa. She makes the recommendation about where we can put our donated bed nets and where they can have the greatest impact,” Bergantino said. “Christina works very closely with international partners, folks like the President’s Malaria Initiative, and the United States Agency for

better programs, heightened exposure for the organization and enhanced leadership development opportunities for all members,” she said. In the spring semester, Higginbotham also was involved with The Memorial Student Center Complex Leading and Empowerment of Aggie Females director’s staff, Lauren Lewis ’09 Memorial Ring Scholarship, Helping One Student to Succeed, Women’s Former Student Network, 2009 Muster Hosts, and is working with New Student Programs to create an event for family members of freshmen to visit campus during the fall semester. “I helped create [the Lauren Lewis ’09 Memorial Ring]
scholarship,” Higginbotham said. “It’s the first ring scholarship available to the entire student body on a financial need basis and the first ring will be awarded in November.” Springer serves as Lambda Chi Alpha public relations vice president and executive committee member as well as being on the New Student Conference and Gig ’Em Week committees. “I am also employed by the Department of Greek Life as a Student Assistant and will be serving as the director of marketing for the Interfraternity Council this upcoming year,” she said. It’s important to get involved, Higginbotham said. “Ten percent of what I’ve learned was actually in a lecture hall,” she said. “Getting involved and seeking leadership positions is how I have met the most incredible people and learned more than I ever thought I would as a freshman.” After graduation this spring, Springer said he plans to pursue a master’s degree in student affairs. Higginbotham has several long-term goals, she said. “I don’t see myself having the same career all my life,” she said. “I really want to write books, open a bakery and ultimately work in a university setting.”
A benefit event for Malaria No More will take place in Austin on Friday at Flipnotics. For more information, visit their Web site at www. malarianomore.org. International Development as well as the National Malaria Agency in Africa themselves to determine the level of need in the area and what kind of distributions are going on,” Bergantino said. Some things the public can do to help this cause against malaria are donating to Malaria No More, Roberts said. “The big thing is to raise awareness and raise the profile of the fight against malaria,”
Christina Roberts, Class of 2001, visits a village in Africa. Roberts said. “The best thing people can do is pass it on to their friends and begin a conversation about how to get involved.” “What we’re working to do is sort of galvanize the world to understand that we don’t have to live with malaria any-
more, these children shouldn’t be dying of it. To provide the resources and support for the countries themselves to be able to take on the relatively inexpensive side of malaria and to lift that burden,” said Bergantino.

Designing across America Visual studies grads embark on trip of a lifetime
Courtesy Photos
Class of 2009 graduates Martin Hooper and Gavin Braman, also known as the Drifting Creatives, made their way across the country last month by travelling from town to town designing everything from T-shirts to logos to Web sites. Now they are planning a second trip for August.
Megan Ryan The Battalion Many students put off post-graduation career decisions. Martin Hooper and Gavin Braman, Class of 2009, did just that and ended up with an unplanned, unpredictable adventure. What started out as a designer’s dream road trip turned into a journey consisting of fascinating designers, 89-cent chicken burritos, nights spent in parking lots and a not-so-faithful Honda Element. Hooper and Braman graduated in May with degrees in visual studies. After graduation, the Aggies knew they wanted to be designers but had no big plans made, so they decided to make a blog and take off to design their way to the beaches of Florida, relax and design their way back. “It was just going to be a fun thing, and we were going to make the blog so our friends could follow it,” Hooper said. “As soon as we launched, though, the right people just kept seeing it, and our Web site just got bigger and bigger. Then we realized, it wasn’t a selfish trip anymore, we almost had an obligation to go around and help people.” The duo calls themselves the “Drifting Creatives,” and they left for the expedition about a week after graduation. Braman and Hooper design everything from T-shirts to logos to Web sites. “We travel around the country doing design work to get gas and food money to continue traveling and at the same time we meet with larger ad and design firms,” Hooper said. “We do work with them, interview designers and post video interviews to give younger designers a look at what older designers are doing in the industry. So it’s kind of a split job, we work with businesses doing stuff and we also do interviews as a resource.” Their former professor, Donna Hajash, said she is proud of what the guys have done so far. “I think [Drifting Creatives] is fabulous. I really support them. It would have been easy for them to just hang out and put out résumés, but they really took their jobs into their own hands,” she said. Most of the time the guys slept in the car, but occasionally they got the chance to work with a firm that will set them up with a hotel room. “We are using a lot of social networking. We’re meeting people
through our job, and then they kind of hook us up with places to stay,” Braman said. They live off the money they make at the designing jobs they find and typically make do with 89cent chicken burritos from Taco Bell and the dollar menu at McDonald’s. “It’s not the best, but we’re still going to do a round two in August. We’re thinking about doing a cooler to do more sandwiches and stuff like that to save money. The first round we just kind of shoved a lot of stuff in the car, but we’re going to plan better next time,” Hooper said. Last month Hooper and Braman traveled Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Kentucky, South Carolina and Florida. “The best part is meeting all the designers and just getting to hang out with them. Some of the guys we got to meet we knew about before we even started this trip and that’s really cool,” Braman said. There were some bumps in the road along the way, but the guys made it home and are planning their second trip. “The hardest part is probably calling,” Braman said. Hooper and Braman stand outside the St. Louis City Museum. “When we plan to go to other towns, we try to call “At our low point we had like four bucks,” Hooper said. “But the businesses there to try to get them to understand we can help at one point we had like $450, so we bought a new camera to them for cheap, but we have to call and call and call. We’ve had video our blog, but then we were broke again. That’s kind of the some hard times with the car, too. Sometimes it just won’t start. exciting part, though.

They said they would like to do consulting “For the second round we are going to try to have places to work to give firms younger ideas, but as for now they’re concenwork planned out everywhere we go,” Hooper said. “For extrating on round two. ample, last time Memphis was really bad for us.

MAILCALL Remarks on the death of Jeffrey Conant Jeffrey S. Conant, department head and professor of marketing at Mays Business School, died June 30, in Bryan. These remarks were taken from Mail Call e-mails and comments posted to The Battalion’s Web site, thebatt.com
Conant
From Anil Chandy
From Steve Delphy
I am greatly saddened at the news of Jeffrey Conant’s passing. He was perhaps my favorite professor from the master’s of business admistration program. In 2004, he asked me to write a recommendation for one of the many awards and accolades for which he was in consideration. In hindsight, I feel absolutely honored that I had the chance to write that letter of recommendation. He was a fantastic professor, a consummate professional who was always prepared, a great orator and someone in whom I saw a lot of integrity. He will be missed and his absence is a great loss for the University.
During my MBA studies at Texas A&M from 1989 to 1991, Jeffrey Conant was by far the professor I admired the most, due to his teaching style, mentoring, passion for his work and genuine interest in his students’ careers and general well-being. I am a product line marketing manager for Hewlett-Packard and owe a considerable amount of my very enjoyable career direction to Conant. My deepest thoughts go out to his family, peers, students and all others whose lives were touched by him.
From Sumit Bhasin I am very saddened to hear of the news of Jeffrey Conant’s sudden demise. I studied marketing under him while earning my MBA at Mays Business School. He was a very enthusiastic and passionate person who tried to instill passion for marketing among his students. In this hour of sorrow, my heart goes out to Conant’s family and friends. Mays Business School has lost one of its most distinguished professors and he shall be missed greatly by all.
From Keith Nowak While I had many really wonderful professors during both my undergraduate and graduate studies at A&M, Jeffrey Conant always stood out as being special for not only his impressive depth of knowledge, but for his intense desire to share that knowledge with his students. No matter how many students Conant had in a given semester, he had a gift for reaching out and connecting with his students on an individual level, and challenging them to do their very best. I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to study under Conant, and I know that the thousands of students he touched over the years feel the same way.
From Thor Gallardo I am deeply saddened by the passing of Jeffrey Conant. He was one of the outstanding professors of the MBA program. I often remember how he would motivate one “to try things out of your comfort zone.” Due to this, currently I am working in a marketing-related job which would had been unthought-of for me before the MBA. My condolences to his family.
From Dan This is very, very sad. Jeffrey Conant was one of those select few professors who really had both the knowledge and personality to change the path of a student’s life. He certainly did that for mine. I still think of him frequently, even several years after graduating, and I wish I had let him know the magnitude of his presence in my life.
From Alex Garcia When I started my MBA studies at Texas A&M in 2000, I decided to pursue a concentration in finance, and I was not really interested in marketing. However, Jeffrey Conant’s marketing class was a core course and there was no choice other than being in Conant’s class. Even though it was not my favorite subject, I was really impressed with Conant’s quality teaching and mentoring skills. Interestingly enough, I always remember advice he gave us about getting out of your comfort zone if you really want to learn and have new opportunities to grow professionally. Seven year after graduation, I am now working out of my comfort zone, as part of a marketing department in a large company, and I wish I had taken another class with him; it was a real challenge and a huge learning opportunity to be in his class. I will miss Conant dearly — My condolences to his family.
From Matt Chapman I studied marketing under Jeffrey Conant while obtaining my MBA in 2000-2002. I still draw on the teachings of Conant to this day. He was a remarkable teacher and a special man. He will be missed. My condolences to his family.

Snake safety Photos By Jeremy Northum | The Battalion
Don Plitt shows off a ball python that was recently found loose in Bryan. This ball python was the only snake at the show that is not native to Texas. The snake, native to Africa, was most likely a pet that was released by its owner. Officials find at least two pythons or other pet snakes released in the city.
Daniel Castillo, 7, holds the shed skin of a bull snake.
Don Plitt, assistant director of Environmental Health Services of the Brazos County Health Department, shows off many different species of nonvenomous snakes to a crowd of children Wednesday at the Bryan Public Library. Nearly 500 children and parents attended the show, which was part of the Bryan-College Station Public Library System’s Children’s Summer Reading Club.
Don Plitt holds a male and female Gray Banded King Snake for the children to see. The purpose of Plitt’s show is to educate children about the various venomous and nonvenomous snakes native to Texas.
