Friction rises in diversity of lobbying program Robert Carpenter The Battalion For years, Texas A&M’s students and alumni have clamored for respect, struggling to emerge from the confines of the all-white, all-male Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas into the flagship educational and research institution of Texas A&M University. Administrators also labor to dispel the image of days past, using scholarships, events and regional offices to attract minority and underrepresented students to the University. For at least one student program, students
have cried “foul,” leaving administrators to explain allegations. In each of the past two years, the Big 12 on the Hill student lobbying program selection process has created discord between students and administration officials. The annual threeday trip brings student representatives from each of the 12 conference schools to Washington, D.C., to advocate for favorable higher education policies. Amid lawmakers, the trip affords students the chance to be heard and the University the opportunity to showcase itself. In 2009, Student Body President Mark Gold sent a campus-wide e-mail advertising
the Big 12 on the Hill lobbying trip. The email directed interested students to the online application and included the application deadline. Six students applied. Student senate appropriated about $2,500 for the trip, which was not enough for all six students to participate. Instead of narrowing the group, student organizers approached Lt. Gen. Joe Weber, vice president of student affairs, about receiving additional funding from Student Affairs. Weber consented and offered to provide enough funding to expand the delegation from six to eight students.
However, according to multiple sources, Weber wanted at least two African-American students included. “[Students] had asked Gen. Weber for money and the general said that he would only support it if, again, we were not sending all white students,” said Bill Stackman, director of the department of student activities. “He made it very clear, very clear to us and to SGA that that was something we needed to avoid.” Of the original six delegates, four were See Diversity on page 6 Graphic by Evan Andrews — THE BATTALION
Haunted wood celebrates 15 years Sarah Smith The Battalion Halloween traditions vary from person to person. Some enjoy a quiet evening with their 22 cats and Ouija Board. Others may camouflage themselves in bushes with a garden hose in tow, waiting to bestow a fateful surprise on unsuspecting trick-or-treating children. For the brothers of the Kappa Sigma fraternity, the best part of their Halloween isn’t 20 pounds of their little sister’s candy or dressing up as The Situation from “Jersey Shore”. The highlight of their Halloween is Wicked Woods. Wicked Woods began as Kappa Sigma’s prime charitable effort. This fall, the brothers take on the service aspect of their mission statement through the creation of Wicked Woods. President Oren Draznin said the event lives up to the values of the organization. “At the end of the day, we’re lucky that we can do something that benefits both Texas A&M and the community alike,” Draznin said. This year marks the 15th anniversary of Wicked Woods, a haunted house put on by Kappa Sigma to celebrate the spirit of Halloween and lend a hand to others. Secretary Kyle Weatherson assists with the promotion of Wicked Woods and said year 15 will be the best yet.
“I love the fact that we build this by hand,” Weatherson said. “We not only get to spend time with our friends, we get to give back to the Brazos Valley as well.” The Wicked Woods experience takes about 15 minutes to complete, but Kappa Sigma prepares for months in advance. This preparation involves countless repairs, safety checks and manual labor to ensure the success of the event. Junior business major Troy Smith of Kappa Sigma leads the construction efforts using his talents. “We’re doing everything we can to help out the community while building brotherhood in Kappa Sigma,” Smith said. In addition to Kappa Sigma, other students who aren’t part of the fraternity participate in Wicked Woods to lend a hand. Many volunteer as haunted house guides and receive community service hours for doing so. As for those in the fraternity, not only does each member put in over 24 hours of construction, they also do their part in scaring the participants during the haunted house. Vice President Jeff Kehm takes part in the chainsaw scene, which he said is the highlight of his October. “Scaring people is actually really fun,” Kehm said. “You’re out there, getting to be with your friends and doing it for a good cause.”
Samantha Virnau — THE BATTALION
More than 4,000 people go to Bryan for the festivities from Friday through Halloween eve. The cost for your scare is $8 the first two nights and $10 for the remainder of the event. Kappa Sigma also allows $2 off admissions in exchange for two canned food items. After the event is over, Kappa Sigma donates the money earned to
Military Heroes and the cans to the Brazos Valley Food Bank. “I hope we give the Brazos Valley a fun and scary haunted house this year,” Draznin said. “Through Wicked Woods, we can keep up the strong tradition we’ve had going for 15 years and counting.”

The Battalion With thefts on the rise in Evans Library, some Aggies are asking themselves what happened to the Honor Code – “An Aggie does not lie, cheat or steal, or tolerate those who do.” “The Honor Code is not just words, it’s a way of life. It’s a simple way of making ethical decisions and it makes life a lot easier,” said Matt Fry, director of the Honor Council. Stealing and other behavioral matters are governed under the Student Rules set in place by the University Student Conduct Code. Topics of violation include physical abuse, sexual misconduct, hazing, harassment, alcohol, drug use, disorderly conduct, disruptive activity and weapons. Sanctions for misconduct can include suspension, expulsion, probation, campus housing probation or loss of privilege, community service or educational consequences. The theft at Evans Library falls under section 24.3.9 of the Conduct Code which defines it as “unauthorized removal or stealing of public or private property or unauthorized use or ac-
quisition of services on University premises or at University-sponsored activities. This includes knowingly possessing such stolen property.” “Any theft is in direct violation of the sense of trust and community with one another and with the University,” said Kristen Harrell, program coordinator for Student Life As another means of protecting the University, the Aggie Honor Council serves to preserve academic honesty throughout the University. The Aggie Honor Council serves to safeguard the Aggie Honor Code. Comprised of faculty, graduate students and undergraduate students the council handles 250-300 cases a year. Sixty-five to 70 percent of these cases are cases of cheating and plagiarism. Students are advised to be cautious with their work, as great portions of these accusations are unintentional. “The Honor Council wants to ensure that we put out the best ethical leaders and ensure that our graduates are of high standards,” said Hunter Bollman, senior accounting major on the Honor Council.

Soldier charged with murder
Good luck, Aggies
The U.S. military says it has charged an American soldier with murdering two fellow troops in Iraq last month. Spc. Neftaly Platero is accused of shooting the soldiers during what a military spokesman has previously described as a verbal altercation.
Poll: Likely voters ready for GOP All signs point to huge Republican victories in two weeks, with the GOP now leading Democrats on virtually every measure in an Associated Press-GfK poll of likely voters. Respondents said the GOP would do a better job than Democrats on handling the economy, creating jobs and running the government. More than half disapprove of Obama’s job performance.

“I think it’s hindering the country more than helping the country, so I would definitely want to see it repealed,” said Karla Gonzalez, a women and gender studies and sociology double major and the president of GLBT Aggies. GLBTA is a social organization for gay, lesbian and transgender Aggies that serve as a support system for homosexual Aggies and their allies. Collectively, they stand against DADT, and want to see it repealed. Andrew Prado is a junior sociology major and a member of
GLBTA, as well as the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band. He identifies as gay, and wants to see DADT done away with. “Respect is a core Aggie value and that hate is not. In stating that, it would be beneficial for soldiers to learn to interact with their fellow soldier, their fellow American,” Prado said. “The U.S. military operates on many occasions with other countries who have GLBT integrated agencies. According to the service members Legal Defense Network, the U.S. and Turkey are the only two original NATO countries that still have [this kind of] ban in place.”
Theft Continued from page 1
In the history of the Honor Council only one student has been expelled from the University due to theft. The student broke into a professor’s office, stole test answer keys and computer passwords and used these passwords to try to change their grades. Definitions of academic misconduct include cheating, fabrication, falsification, multiple submissions, plagiarism, complicity or collaboration, unauthorized access and abuse or misuse of access.
Violators of these rules may face sanctions including expulsion, suspension or probation, grade reduction for the course or assignment or attending an academic integrity seminar. Junior political science major Aaron Chatman is on the council because like other Aggies, he believes in the Honor Code and what it stands for. “I came to this school because of the honor among students,” he said. “I want to perpetuate that, and keep the Honor Code a priority - it’s what makes A&M, A&M.”

It might be the band experimenting with forgotten themes that drove the first albums “Sex on Fire” and “Use Somebody.”
People who don’t know about the band beyond these popular songs might be disappointed in the content of the new album, but fans that are ardent of the true sound of the band will find the new installment to be a refreshing combination of despondency and a new energy that continues throughout. Immediately, a listener can hear a change in the new album. Instead of light riffs backed by soulfully radiant lyrics, we hear a darker side to the band. Songs like “The End” show us a dismal view of the world that songs like “Sex on Fire” never touched upon. You can hear the bluesy melody and riffs permeated throughout the songs and many would say these songs take Kings of Leon in a new direction, when in fact it’s the same direction. Many fans know only of the popular radio-aired songs of Kings, but the core of the band is the songs people never hear. The new album is hoping to popularize the band’s true sound, mellow and dark.

Kings of Leon has survived in the music market for over a decade, and the newest album is a testament to that. The band will continue to produce music as long as people will listen. And people definitely are. I fully expect mixed reviews about the album, and frankly, it all comes down to a matter of taste and preference.

GUESTCOLUMN
Allied front
Miki Fan — THE BATTALION
I
have a confession to make to the students of Texas A&M. I don’t care if I am persecuted, ridiculed and/or mocked. Fellow Aggies, I am a Gleek. For those that are not in the know, a Gleek is a combination of glee and geek. Being a Gleek is more than just being a fan of the show “Glee”. It means the sole purpose of your Tuesday is watching the inner workings of a fictional high school glee club. You are attached to the characters more than you care to reveal to the public and can’t wait for Sue Sylvester’s curt criticism of coworkers, students, teachers, principles or anyone who dares not to fear her passive-aggressive violence. As “Glee” enters its second season, it continues to grow in popularity. According to Entertainment Weekly, 11.2 million viewers watched the glee club pair off and perform duets. But “Glee” hasn’t been the only high school musical story told and embraced by America in recent times. Box Office Prophets states that 170 million viewers tuned into the original High School Musical. The numbers state Grease had a worldwide gross of over $206 million, in addition to more than $21 million from DVD sales. What do these high school musicals have in common? What causes their popularity? Other than the fact that most of the actors are much too old for high school, they perform seemingly impromptu, yet perfectly choreographed productions at the drop of a hat. The trifecta of musicals has more to teach than the importance of onpitch voices and perfect dance moves. The theatrical presentations teach viewers to interact with those outside the realm of typical friendships. Glee takes a group of 12 students who, in essence, have nothing in common besides their love of vocals. They have the central goal of keeping their club around, and in order to make that dream a reality, they
must work together. While each clique is represented in the club, they learn to put their differences aside and get to know their teammates as people. As the labels dissolve, Caroline Ward the club grows closer, despite the variance. junior In “Grease”, Sandy communication was a preppy, well-manmajor nered exchange student and in the eyes of the Pink Ladies and T-Birds, a loser. It seems as if the entire school has nothing in common; they all seem to exude an attitude of superiority toward one another. But in the last scene at the senior picnic, they come together as a senior class to create a sense of unity as they sing “We Go Together” while Sandy and Danny literally ride off into the sunset in their flashy, 1950s convertible. The “High School Musical” series emphasizes the importance of pursuing your interests as an individual. It encourages viewers to be involved in multiple activities in order to get to know those outside of their core groups of friends, discover passions, learn from new people and express themselves. With a jock and a nerd who want to audition for a play, the whole school breaks out into mass chaos, until others confess hidden hobbies, such as a basketball player who loves to bake and a bookworm who loves to dance. How can lessons learned in high school musical dramas apply to college students? College is about discovering hidden passions by trying new things and getting to know people from different walks of life. While I have secretly always wanted our entire campus to spontaneously burst into song, that might be a bit extreme. However, we can learn from the sense of unity that each of these shows portrays. Chase what fascinates you, appreciate the enthusiasms of others and look past what people appear to be at surface level (musically, if you see fit).
While someone can be an ally to many groups, national headlines have recently focused on one group of people who truly need more support – those who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or questioning their sexual orientation. A significant number of youth have recently committed suicide after being bullied or victims of harassment. Certain people have targeted youth because they were GLBT or perceived to be. This is not a recent problem. GLBT youth have always been a significantly higher risk group for suicide than their heterosexual peers. Too often bullies target GLBT youth or friends and families abandon GLBT individuals, making them feel alone and helpless. Imagine if bullies targeted you almost every day or if suddenly your friends and family started treating you differently – or even stopped talking to you completely – just because you were true to yourself. In my personal experience, being gay presents significant challenges throughout life. Every time I make a new friend, I think to myself, “I wonder how this person will react when they learn I am gay?” When I start a new job, I have to carefully consider how “out” I can be at work. I do not want to be the target of discrimination or lose my job, and I do not want people to treat me differently. But I also do not want to lie or hide who I am. I just want to be myself. I just want to contribute to society and live my life, just like everyone else. In many ways I am more similar than different when compared to most of my heterosexual friends and colleagues. I am an Aggie. I like football. I like music of all types. I love to go see big action movies. Being gay is really the only one way that I am different compared to the hundreds of ways in which I am similar. Yet, often society and individuals tend to focus on that one difference and forget all the similarities. So, I present a challenge to everyone in the Aggie family. Focus on the similarities and be an ally to the GLBT community. This is national Allies Appreciation Week. But we should not just be allies for a week. We should be allies for life. Let’s focus more on how we are similar and not our differences. How can you be a GLBT ally? To be an ally to the GLBT community, you should be inclusive, supportive and respectful. Remember the golden rule, treat others how you would like to be treated. Never use
language that could be offensive to someone who is GLBT. Using any type of offensive language, even when with close friends, only reinforces the idea that it is OK to Brad Dressler target a certain group of people. Think before Aggie Allies you post anything that chairperson, class could be offensive of ‘96 online, via Facebook and other sites. Do not be silent. Do not stand by if you hear something offensive or see someone do something inappropriate. Think about those GLBT youth who have committed suicide. If someone had stood up to those bullies and said: “That is not cool. I am not okay with that. Leave that person alone. And never use that offensive language again,” then perhaps those youth would have realized they are not alone and would not have committed suicide. If you cannot interrupt a situation, please report it via http://tellsomebody.tamu.edu and http:// stophate.tamu.edu. And afterward, please tell the victim that they are not alone and express your support. When you think someone needs help or support, say something. Talk to that person. Let that person know while it might seem rough now, it does get better. Let that person know you are there if they ever need to talk or just want company. Basically, be a friend. Educate yourself about the GLBT community. Increase your knowledge and awareness. If you want to be a strong GLBT ally, you can sign up for an Aggie Allies Advance Workshop at http://allies.tamu.edu. Today, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., stop by the GLBT Ally Resource Fair in Academic Plaza facing Cushing Library. Use campus resources, such as the GLBT Resource Center in Cain Hall C118. Or visit on websites with resources and helpful information, including: http://glbt.tamu.edu/, http://allies.tamu.edu/, http://www.lgbtcampus. org/, and http://www.thetrevorproject.org/. Remember that we are all part of the Aggie Family. “We are the Aggies, the Aggies are we. True to each other, as Aggies can be.” So, let’s respect each other, focus on our similarities, and express our support for each other.

The latest misstep dropped the squad’s Big 12 record to 3-7, placing it at 11th in the conference. Freshman setter Allie Sawatzky totaled 46 assists and junior outside hitter Kelsey Black’s 19 kills led four Aggies with at least 10. Oklahoma (15-6, 7-3) junior Suzy Boulavsky recorded 20 kills of her own. The Sooners won a hotly contested first set on their home court 25-22. The Aggies’ redshirt sophomore blocker Stephanie Minnerly’s kill tied the score at 20-20 before A&M surrendered four
straight points and let the set slip away. It returned with a charge to a 17-12 lead and held on to control the second set 25-20. It proceeded to lose the third by the same margin, unable to overcome an early 9-3 deficit. Black tossed in seven kills to no avail. A 26-24 A&M win in the fourth set up a deciding fifth set. The fifth began on an attack error by Black, signaling looming languor to come; A&M trailed 7-2 and 11-5 on separate occasions, weakly bowing in the clincher 15-10. Among the team’s six consecutive losses are two other five-set defeats, both at home. The Aggies entered Wednesday night with a 1-4 record in five-set games. The 6-10 Colorado Buffaloes visit Reed Arena at 3 p.m. Saturday. The first matchup between the teams ended in a 3-2 road victory for the Aggies.
