A cut above the rest Texas barbecue history preserved by courses Sean Lester The Battalion

C

ross over the railroad tracks from Wellborn Road and onto Texas A&M’s west campus and you might be able to see a new tradition cooking.

Get even closer and you’ll smell the savory aroma of Texas barbecue coming from the area near the Rosenthal Meat Science and Technology Center.

It’s not Aggie gameday tailgates that are heating up but instead camps and courses being taught as a result of an experimental class started five years ago that set out to teach barbecuing to incoming Aggie freshmen. The result is now turning out barbecuing experts, young and old.

Fresh Cut

Five summers ago, before the 2009 school year was set to begin, professor Jeff Savell saw that Texas A&M introducing first year seminar classes for incoming freshmen under the classification UGST 181.

Savell sought the help of Rosenthal Meat Center manager Ray Riley and associate professor Davey Griffin to help design the course. With the help of author Robb Walsh whose book, “Legends of Texas Barbecue”, would become material for the course, the three Aggies ventured out with a goal to help freshmen feel comfortable in a small classroom setting while cooking and tasting barbecue.

“We always say, ‘If you can cook, you’ll always have friends,’” said Riley, who along with Savell, is listed as an instructor of the class. “If we teach them about barbecuing they’ll also be able to adjust to the college life

and social life as well.”

Now entering its fifth year as ANSC 289, the Texas barbecuing class teaches students each Friday in the fall semester about cooking methods, flavorings like seasonings, marinades and rubs along with how to cook everything from ribs, briskets, lamb and whole pigs in the proper and safe manner.

Senior animal science major Chloe Geye was one of the first students to take the course and now helps teach the class each fall.

“Coming to class on Friday at four in the afternoon didn’t sound like the best time to have a class — however it was always a great way to end the weeks of my first semester at Texas A&M.” Geye said Savell and Riley were professors who truly cared how students were doing, and provided outlets to talk to about struggles in her first year. She was what the professor’s call “super sophomores” and “jazzy juniors” who add an even greater impact on the incoming freshmen.

“The subject is barbecue, but really, it is to help the students adjust to college life,” Riley said. “We want them to have a place that they can come and feel comfortable.”

Barbecue Geniuses

It was apparent after several years of the Texas Barbecuing class that Texas A&M was grooming elite grilling and barbecue masters under the direction of elite animal science and meat specialists.

Both players have been suspended per Texas A&M athletics department policy according to sports information director Deshazor Everett Alan Cannon. Both Everett and Raven are suspended from all team activities, with the exception of academics and medical, pending further investigation into the matter, he said.

The two were charged as the result of an altercation that happened on April 7 begin-

ning at Texas A&M’s Northgate district.

“Both groups involved were up at Northgate on a Saturday night,” Norris said.

“Floyd Raven and Deshazor Everett started spraying champagne Floyd Raven Sr. into the crowd. The other party involved got offended and an altercation took place there but nobody was injured or anything.

It was broken up by the police and by the bouncers at the bar.”

Raven then returned to Everett’s resident

at Parkway Place Apartments off Harvey Mitchell Parkway.

The other group involved lived at the apartment complex as well, and upon arriving from Northgate they were met by Everett, Raven and a group of others in the parking lot, Norris said.

According to the police report, the victims were then drug out of the car and assaulted.

“When the victims arrived home they parked the car,” Norris said, “The group that Mr. Everett and Mr. Raven were with ran up See Arrests on page 4

Texas A&M finishes fifth in Directors Cup Sean Lester

The Battalion exas A&M’s move to the Southeastern Conference from the Big 12 was made official one year ago Monday, and at the time few people believed the Aggies would experience immediate success.

The athletics program as a whole was able to justify the move to any skeptics with Thursday’s announcement of A&M school-best fifth place finish in the 2012-13 Learfield Sports Directors Cup.

T

In the 20th year of the Directors Cup, the Aggies finished with 1131.5 points in a competition that takes into consideration the top 10 female sports and top 10 male sports from each school.

“This has absolutely been a fantastic year,” said Texas A&M Director of Athletics Eric Hyman. “Our fifth place finish in the Learfield Director’s Cup is a remarkable accomplishment and a reflection of the hard work by our student-athletes and coaches.

The men’s outdoor track and field national

championship and national runner-up finishes for both women’s tennis and women’s outdoor track and field capped a historic year for Texas A&M. We are proud to be recognized among the best athletics programs in the country.”

While much of the focus was on the Aggie football team’s Top-5 finish and the Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel, it was the success of each sport that gave See Directors Cup on page 6

‘We lived it.’

Guest Column: Lack of consideration, understanding led to memorial disrespect

T

he pictures that surfaced recently of Fish Camp counselors taking lighthearted pictures at Bonfire Memorial struck a nerve and have sent rumblings throughout the Aggie community, raising the ire of many.

To me, it was even more personal, for two reasons: first, my fish class was the last to build and burn the “Old Army” Aggie Bonfire. Second, as a student medic, I was one of the first to arrive after the collapse and spent several hours helping to remove the bodies of my friends, classmates and buddies.

Despite the fact that I drive past it daily, I have only been to Bonfire Memorial three times since it was constructed, for it is still painful. As I walk the path toward the memorial, the memories begin flooding back and a lump appears in my throat as I am transported back in time for a few minutes. My flashbacks alternate between Bonfire as it was before the collapse, and the hours immediately following. Tears flow freely as I kneel at the centerpole marker and read its inscription; I turn my gaze upward to the clear blue sky and see stack towering 55 feet into the night, illuminated by the perimeter lights with workers dangling from swings on fourth and fifth stack, and hear the shouts of workers placing logs. Simultaneously, I see the collapsed pile of logs enveloped in darkness, as I smell the smoke from perimeter fires, taste the dust in the air as victims were triaged and removed, and hear the screams of those still trapped.

I see bodies lying motionless, crushed under the massive weight, still tangled in the logs and broken in half, with their dying expression forever seared into my memory. I walk from one seemingly random point to the next inside the memorial and see the face of the Aggie who took his last breath in that exact location. I have carried these memories for the last 14 years, and to this day I can’t bring myself to look at a picture of some of the victims. I’m not unique in this regard — everyone involved that night carries similar memories and while the wounds have healed, the scars will forever be present and are subject to being ripped open by incidents like this.

Doing some quick math, most of those involved in this picture were in elementary school on Nov. 18, 1999.

I think the biggest problem is historical perspective: to them, “Bonfire” is something from generations ago — it’s ancient history, and something they know very little about. One reason so many of us are outraged by their actions is because to us, it’s personal.

We saw it. We lived it. The other is that we, as Aggies, hold ourselves to a higher standard with regard to honor,

honesty and respect, and these pictures are not in line with that. And while the pictures may not have been intentionally disrespectful, comments such as “you guys need to get a life” in response to the backlash are, by almost anyone’s standards, disrespectful. While I believe in freedom of speech, when you are a part of something bigger than yourself, you must realize that you are subject to additional scrutiny and put the organization ahead of yourself. While the organization has started spin-control, it is now up to individuals to own up to their mistake, swallow their pride, curb the attitude and make appropriate apologies.

I went to Fish Camp, even served as their medic a few times, and believe that as a whole, Fish Camp provides a much-needed service to the University.

It is known for being a lighthearted, goofy time and I think that is generally appropriate to break the ice for new Aggies meeting each other. Likewise, Fish Camp counselors are responsible for introducing our traditions to the next generation of Aggies — which means understanding those traditions — and some of them have obviously failed to do so regarding Bonfire. While Fish Camp may “have an entire section on Bonfire” as one TexAgs user posted, some counselors obviously missed the boat in realizing that Bonfire is not “just another tradition” like Sully, the Academic Building, or yell practice; instead, it is as solemn of a part of Aggie history as Muster and Silver Taps.

Personally, I don’t think it was a “momentary lapse in judgment” or a knowingly disrespectful act, but instead was somewhere in the middle, and is probably best described as a combination of not understanding one of the most hallowed of Aggie traditions and not considering the potential consequences of their actions. For that reason, I question whether or not these individuals are the best suited to teach our traditions to new Aggies, at least until they truly learn what Aggie Bonfire is all about. While permanent academic disciplinary action may not be called for, I think some re-education is in order, including a history lesson of Aggie Bonfire and what it means to Aggies everywhere.

MAILCALL From Julie Kircher, senior recreation, park and tourism sciences major If I could have anything, I would want to have a sit down with each and every person involved in the taking of those pictures. I want to tell them what that memorial means to me. The last portal, the one they posed in for their pictures, is very dear to me. That portal belongs to my cousin, Lucas John Kimmel. Lucas was in Company D-2, first year in Aggieland, and had just turned 19 years old when the stack collapsed early that November morning.

I was just 7 at the time, but I remember that day all too well. My sister was crying, my parents were upset — scrambling as fast as they could to get the Internet and phones working, to try and get any information on Lucas. All we knew was that he was at the stack, and was mentioned on the list of the dozens of missing students. My sister sat at the computer all day, refreshing the page over and over again. The minutes it took to reload the page felt like days.

Hours went by, and nothing new had been found out. That night my parents had sent me to bed, but I snuck out and hid by the door, watching my sister as she continued to keep checking, praying he would be found alive. I had never prayed so hard in my life that he — that bubbly, wonderful, hilarious Lucas, with his infectious laugh and mischievous grin — was alive and okay.

I remember the last time my sister refreshed that page, and we saw that his name had been moved from the list of the missing to the list of the dead.

The house was completely silent, other than our sobs.

This memorial is one of the few things that commemorate the lives of those 12 we lost that day. I go there several times a year, because I know Lucas is listening there, and sometimes I swear I can hear him laughing. And to know now that someone took silly and provocative photos in the portal belonging to him and the other fallen, it’s heartbreaking and sickening at the same time.

Maybe if the students who took those pictures had heard this story, or any of the countless others that are out there, maybe they would have thought that taking goofy or suggestive pictures in a memorial commemorating the fallen was a bad idea. Maybe they would have realized the respect this memorial, the fallen and their friends and family deserve and would have taken their pictures at some other landmark on campus. I choose to believe they were ignorant, and had no idea how their actions would affect people around them.

I hope that they make things right and reach out to the families of the fallen, to apologize for disgracing the memorial of their son, their daughter, their brother or sister.

Show those families and friends the respect they deserve. Current students are supposed to be leaders for the incoming classes, teaching by example the values and traditions of this University. I can only hope that we make amends by teaching future Aggies to show the respect for the memorial, the fallen and their families, that these students failed to do.

There’s a spirit...

Bonfire Memorial embodies Aggie Spirit, stands for fallen students Mackenzie Mullis The Battalion

T

he Aggie Bonfire was one of the most celebrated and anticipated traditions at Texas A&M. Working as one through hard labor, sweat and determination, bonds were forged that could only be described as familial.

Nov. 18, 1999, was a day that irrevocably altered Texas A&M University. At 2:42 a.m., the Bonfire stack fell, injuring 27 students and

When I visited before I became a student, it was just 12 people.

When I became an Aggie, they became my family.”

— Charlie Nelson, senior political science major killing 12. It has now been almost 14 years since the tragedy, and yet it remains an integral part of the spirit of A&M, commemorated by a memorial that allows Aggies from everywhere to reflect and remember the past.

“The remembrance and the memorial prove that we are all family, even the 12 that died,” said Amanda Chow, special education graduate student. “Now we build for them. They put their heart and soul in it, so we do too.”

Though the University no longer sanctions Aggie Bonfire, the spirit of the tradition lives through an off-campus student bonfire.

ership for Lechner Hall, said the Bonfire Memorial, holds a reverence that always moves her to tears.

“I am always in tears when I go to the memorial,” she said. “It shows how much heart and soul there is at A&M. It is a symbol.”

Charlie Nelson, senior political science major and a former crew chief for Lechner Hall, said the bond created while working on Bonfire is special.

“The biggest part about bonfire is that it helps create community and family,” Nelson said. “Hard work and labor can’t help but bond you with your buddies and your friend — after a week of mental work with school, it is a nice compliment to work Bonfire.”

All of this, he said, is what made and continues to make bonfire important and meaningful to him.

Nelson said the subtleties of the Bonfire Memorial were all designed with a purpose, and that adds to the reverence of the site.

“There is a lot of symbolism involved,” Nelson said. “The granite that makes the portals was all one solid piece. The black top you walk on was made because the designer wanted it to have a certain sound when people walked on it. There are reasons for every single step that you don’t always think about.”

Visitors to the memorial enter at “Tradition Plaza” and a vertical wall separates the peace and intimacy of the memorial from the outside world. Engraved into the wall is “The Last Corps Trip,” a poem traditionally recited before the lighting of Bonfire each November.

The walkway leading into the “Spirit Ring” is lined with 89 granite blocks, each representing a year in which Bonfire burned between 1909 and 1998. Notches

cut a point in each of the stones to represent November, the month Bonfire burns, and each notch is illuminated by an amber light, to represent Bonfire’s glow. A black slab marks the year 1963, in which Bonfire was disassembled log by log after President John F. Kennedy’s assassination.

Plaques in the stones representing 1955, 1982 and 1996 memorialize students who were killed in Bonfire-related accidents in those years.

The 16-foot granite portals — with interior 12-foot bronze portals — mark each of the 12 Aggies lost in the collapse of 1999.

“The portals represent each individuals’ lives and were built to honor them,” said Jordan Allison, a senior international studies major and campus tour guide. “As tour guides, we like to memorialize all of the Aggies and we respect Bonfire Memorial dearly.”

The 12 portals are oriented toward the hometowns of those who died in the collapse. The portals are connected with 27 stones with bronze inlays to represent those who were injured, forming a ring to represent the common bond connecting each to the Aggie Spirit.

At the center of the Spirit Ring, a black-granite marker sits in the exact spot used for centerpole, the stack’s center support. The marker is engraved with the date and time of the Bonfire collapse: 11-181999 2:42 a.m.

Nelson said his membership in the Aggie family provides him with

a personal connection to the 12.

“When I visited before I became a student, it was just 12 people,” Nelson said. “When I became an Aggie, they became my family. It’s just one additional thing we have in common. Bonfire is the best way for me to explain the Aggie family — it means more when you have a connection to it. We feel closer to the 12 as well. They died doing what they loved and what they enjoyed.”

The memorial was dedicated in 2004 by then University President Robert Gates.

“This memorial is a special place where Aggies always will remember those lost and injured in the tragedy of 1999 and throughout the history of Bonfire,” Gates said at the ceremony. “We celebrate their lives and the unique Aggie Spirit represented by Bonfire: a Spirit that gave light to our darkest hours; a Spirit that unites the Texas A&M family; a Spirit that will endure in all those who come here; a Spirit that must burn brightly forever.”

Nelson agreed with the sentiment expressed by Gate’s presentation at the ceremony.

“The memorial is, for a lot of people, the link to when Bonfire was on campus,” Nelson said. “I think it links current students to the past and keeps the tradition of hard work. A lot of people at A&M, I think, are grounded in work ethic and this memorial represents that.”

Nelson said incoming students should visit the memorial, and current students shouldn’t forget to stop and pay their respects during

We remember who they were as people. It shows that everyone is an individual, we are all a part of the University and no matter what we will remember that. The memorial has made sure no one would be forgotten.”

their time at A&M. Chow said the memorial is an important part of A&M’s identity as a university.

“It embodies the Aggie spirit, even in a tragedy,” Chow said.

“We remember who they were as people. It shows that everyone is an individual, we are all a part of the University and no matter what we will remember that. The memorial has made sure no one would be forgotten.”

to the car and began hitting and kicking the car and pull the two victims out of the car and assault them.”

A press release sent by Norris on behalf of the College Station Police Department states that at approximately 2:55 a.m. on Sunday April 7 officers were dispatched for a report of a large fight.

At the scene officers found a group of people, two with visible injuries. The victims and witnesses said they were attacked by a large group of black males.

Both victims and a witness identified two of the suspects as Everett and Raven. One victim was transported to the hospital and later released.

Norris said the vehicle the victims arrived in had been kicked and beaten by the group, causing between $500 and $1,500 in damages. An investigation by the College Station Police Department began a week after the altercation.

“The investigator began working on it, but there were so many people involved and so many witnesses involved that when school let out everybody went all over Texas,” Norris said. “When school let out and everyone scattered.

That slowed us down because our investigator was having to find people. That is what slowed us down on getting the warrants issued.”

Wednesday the county attorney’s office determined there was enough probable cause to issue warrants for Everett and Raven. Warrants were issued Friday and both players were contacted.

They both said they were out of town and set to return Sunday evening and would turn themselves in Monday, which they did.

Norris said that both individuals complied with the investigation and the warrants before turning themselves in.

On Monday, juniors Deshazor Everett (top) and Floyd Raven Sr. (bottom) turned themselves in to authorities after being charged with two counts of assault and one count of criminal mischief each. members of Everett and Raven’s group is still unknown.

Everett, a corner back on the Aggie defense, is remembered for his interception on the goal line in Tuscaloosa, Ala., in November that sealed the 29-24 upset victory of No. 1 Alabama.

Raven played in all 13

games last season as a corner back, but made headlines in the offseason by reaching the top of the depth chart as a safety for the upcoming 2013 season.

Both players are expected to be starters for the A&M defense this fall.

Griffin was able to use the success of the class to send A&M down another set of paths in the barbecue industry, beginning with the idea of hosting a yearly barbecue summer camp.

Texas A&M and Foodway Texas, a company devoted to preserving the culture of Texas foods, joined together in the summer of 2011 to hold a camp at the Rosenthal Meat Center lasting the entire weekend. Now in its third year, this summer’s camp had two sessions with 50-60 grilling and meat smoking adults attending each session.

“For two and half days, we talk about barbecue,” Griffin said. “Talk about all the cuts and we go to the back (of the Rosenthal Center) and show them the carcass. The registrations for that starts after Thanksgiving and usually the course is filled in less than two weeks … for a course in June.”

The camp sparked further interest in barbecuing and gave Griffin a chance to set up Camp Brisket this January. The first year event drew 40 adult campers talking solely about this southern treat.

Perhaps the biggest partnership that came out of that first Texas Barbecuing class was between A&M and Texas Monthly magazine. The Austin based publication ranks the Top 50 Barbecue Restaurants in Texas every five years.

At Texas Monthly’s annual Barbecue Festival with around 25 of the Top 50 in attendance, Texas A&M now has a booth. You won’t find any samples though. Instead, you’ll receive tips from the Barbecue Geniuses from Texas A&M. With opportunities like making barbecue for the SEC Communicators Association Conference this summer and cooking a hog before last year’s Arkansas game, Griffin said the doors continue to open for barbecuing in Aggieland.

“The nice thing about being able to do this — despite us just enjoying being around each other and doing this kind of thing together — is the exposure to

A Fourth of Meat In the week leading up the Fourth of July holiday, Americans will begin getting their grills and smokers out and hitting stores to purchase their meat of choice.

Numbers provided by CNN, The Herald Tribune and the U.S. Census Bureau show that Americans will consume 155 million hot dogs on the Fourth of July. The week leading up to the holiday will see 700 million pounds of chicken consumed and 190 million pounds of red meat and pork purchased.

That’s all good news for Riley and the Rosenthal Meat Center, which sells a variety of meats.

“We sell to the public beef, lamb, pork, all kinds of cured and smoked products,” Riley said. “We’ve been nationally recognized for our beef jerky.

But all of those products that we sell are just a by-product of our teaching, research and extension programs. Those sales are what really help keep our program continuing.”

Riley said the center’s meat is different because it is not vacuum-sealed for mass production like much of the meat at a local grocery story, allowing for unique flavors to set in.

As for the nationally famous beef jerky, it’s a process of 7-10 days of soaking, along with a 12-hour hickory smoke that makes it so good, Riley said.

“The main reason it’s so special is because it comes from Aggieland,” he said with a chuckle. “That always makes it a little more special.”

Riley, Griffin and Savell all preached the use of a meat thermometer for grilling and smoking meat this Fourth of July for food safety reasons.

“There are a lot of hamburgers consumed on Fourth of July, and that’s a ground product,” Griffin said. “Anytime you get a ground product there’s a need to take special care.”

fessor and Extension family and consumer sciences specialist. She said what makes the Fourth of July holiday different is taking a grill somewhere other than a home in order to watch fireworks results in additional safety hazards.

“One of the things that they need to think of is, ‘Where are we going to be setting our grill?’” she said. “Whether it’s charcoal or gas, especially in areas that are still in drought and are dry, you don’t want to be setting up anything that may start grass fires.”

Preserving History Barbecuing in Texas is nothing new, and the preservation of Texas barbecuing is alive and well in Aggieland.

“What it’s done is legitimize Texas A&M as a player in Texas barbecue,” Savell said.

With 20-30 new students each fall, the Texas Barbecuing class continues to grow in popularity along with the camps and courses A&M hosts each year.

“Just last week, we hosted Aaron Franklin of Aaron’s Barbecue in Austin, where people line up at nine in the morning for lunch,” Griffin said.

“Justin Forton, who’s at Pecan Lodge barbecue in the Dallas area, came with Daniel Vaughn, who is barbecue editor at Texas Monthly. They went through the Beef 101 course offered at Texas A&M. They just wanted to learn more about beef.”

As A&M continues to build its brand around the state and nationally, the barbecuing program knows the success and recognition experienced in these early stages shows a very high ceiling.

“I think that what we are doing as a whole is keeping the history of barbecue alive,” Geye said. “With our fastpaced world moving at light speed, nobody takes the time to slow their lives down to smoke meat and in turn spend much needed time with their families.”

The foundation took interest in Cain because of his loyalty, dedication and generosity, as well as his experience as a partner at Ernst & Young. “The board was keenly interested in my financial background,� Cain said, “and my understanding of corporate governments. I would imagine they would want someone with my background and knowledge. I am also assuming they thought my disposition would go well with the rest of the board.�

Courtney Kuhn, Cain’s oldest daughter and Class of 2007, said she was proud of her father for being honored by the University once again. “Our family is always really impressed by everything he gets nominated for,�

Kuhn said. “He is really humbled, for us it is really cool. My husband, my sister and I are Aggies, so it touches really close to home. We are just excited for him.�

She also said that while her father is excited, his humility has kept him grounded.

A&M had 10 teams finish with Top 10 rankings and 15 finished in the Top 25. The previous best finish by A&M was in 2009-10 with a sixthplace showing.

The Aggies made a strong push in the standings at the end of the college sports calendar beginning with the No. 3 ranked women’s tennis team. First year coach Howard Joffe led the team to a national runner-up making school history with a final record of 26-4, good for 90

Each time I get to do something, I get to meet more Aggies, I get to know more friends and continue the spirit of the 12th Man. This Aggie network never goes away. It will always continue on.� — T. Randall “Randy� Cain, member of the Texas A&M Foundation Board of Trustees

“He is just really humble and excited to help A&M because he likes being a part of anything A&M,� Kuhn said. “He has been looking for his next leadership role and we had known he was interested in this position.�

Recently, Cain also helped create the Randy ’82 and Jyl Cain Accounting Education Excellence Fund, committing $100,000 to the accounting program to help secure further excellence in education at the Mays Business School. “It is difficult to envision how anybody could participate more in the life of our school,� said Mays Dean Jerry Strawser. “Whether hiring our students, speaking to our classes, serving on advisory boards or providing financial support, Randy has literally impacted thousands of Mays graduates. We are truly blessed to have him as an advocate

points toward the standings. “Finishing fifth in the Directors Cup is emblematic of the wonderful work that goes on in Aggie athletics,� Joffe said. “It speaks to an efficient and effective administration, excellent support for the students, top coaches and very fine student-athletes. I’m very fortunate to be part of such a powerful and proud athletics department.�

A&M’s streak of four straight Top 10 finishes and eight straight seasons in the Top 25 of the Directors Cup standings has been aided by track and field coach Pat Henry. When Henry led the men’s track and field team to a national championship

in June it was A&M’s seventh track championship in five years.

The men’s and women’s outdoor finish gained A&M 185 points with a championship and runner-up finish, respectively. “It goes without saying that winning a national championship is a tremendous accomplishment for a team,� Henry said. “Overall, our teams have been very successful both indoors and outdoors. Our NCAA national championship for the men and an NCAA runnerup finish for the women are hard-earned points. My staff and I are very proud of our team’s efforts and Texas

Cain said the best part of his alumnus experience has been in forging new friendships with Aggies from all walks of life. “You start to think when you get to be my age you know most people but, in fact, you really don’t,� Cain said. “Each time I get to do something, I get to meet more Aggies, I get to know more friends and continue the spirit of the 12th Man. This Aggie network never goes away. It will always continue on.�

Cain urges current students to take their future role as alumni seriously. “Students need to understand and need to know that as you get older that the Aggie network is important and it is heartwarming and gets you excited,�

Cain said. “By gosh, when you leave this place, you need to give back.�
