A&M organization plans to break world record

By Meredith McCown @Meredithrhoads Believing that people can do inspiring things is a motto for the Apex of Texas A&M. And one of those things is breaking the record for the largest human smiley face in the world.

Founded by industrial distribution senior Lucas Bazemore and industrial engineering senior Roberto Gargurevich, Apex has been an organization at the university for two years designed to instill creativity and encourage capability in individuals to do inspiring things. The Aggie Smile Campaign from Nov. 14 to Nov. 18 promoted positivity through chalking campus with uplifting comments, handing out “Just keep smiling” wristbands, stickers and bookmarks and creating a customized “Smile” ice cream flavor that debuted at Cold Stone Creamery on the last day of the campaign.

Giant letters representing the campaign’s hashtag, #SMILEtamu, were displayed at Simpson Drill Field for students to take pictures in front of, along with a Snapchat filter.

Last year, the slogan for the first smile campaign was “Be a reason to smile.” This year, however, Bazemore said they wanted to further the campaign by spreading the smiles to people outside of A&M. “It’s something that we felt was really impactful. We decided that we wanted to take that a step further this time, so we wanted to bring the smiles outside of Texas A&M,” Bazemore said. “We are going to be sponsoring 1,200 smiles, and every smile is a surgery for cleft lip and cleft palate. So we’re basically raising $300,000 over the course of the next year. And on Oct. 1, we’re going to be breaking the world record for the world’s largest human smiley face.”

Aside from spreading positivity through smiles, this semester the campaign has focused on much more, said electrical engineering senior and Apex member Greg Vargas.

“In past semesters, it has only been about spreading positivity; that’s all the smile campaign was,” Vargas said. “This semester, we tried to expand what we’re doing so we announced our world record and we are also raising money for people who need help with surgery for cleft palate.”

Industrial systems engineering junior and

Apex member Jake Bildstein said being a member of the organization and the smile campaign has been meaningful in his life.

“I have come from a rough place and I’m comfortable in saying that,” said Bildstein.

“I’m clinically depressed, anxious, OCD, I’ve had bipolar disorder. Seeing that there are people who genuinely do care about you is life changing and you know, smiles are so small but they can mean so much.”

According to the Apex organization, the goal is for at least 12,000 people from the 12th Man to participate in the picture that will break the Guinness World Record for the largest human smiley face, which currently stands at about 8,000 people. The picture will be taken Oct. 1st, 2017.

Industrial distribution sophomore and Apex member Diego Rubio stated the reasoning for the world record breaking goal and why he thinks this idea will be possible.

“One of the main reasons that we’re doing the record is because we want to do inspiring things to inspire others, so I believe that that will be one of the few things that will make us be on the map and I believe it’s currently showing,” Rubio said. “Starting from ‘Be a reason to smile’ from last year to now ‘Smile TAMU’, I think progressively we can break a record and inspire different students around campus.”

Bazemore said prior to the day of the world record event the organization will be selling tickets that will directly toward charity but additionally including a T-shirt and the opportunity to break a world record in attendance.

“What would come first was how could we spread our smiles beyond Texas A&M is what we had thought, and then, how can we make it bigger than what it is,” Bazemore said. “So we decided that’s how we could best positively impact campus, because we were like, who doesn’t want to break a world record and help out charity simultaneously?”

Even a seemingly minuscule gesture such as a smile can make an enormous impact in another’s life, Bildstein said.

“You never know what small gestures mean to people, a smile is a very simple, small gesture but it can change somebody’s outlook on life, it can change their perspective on the world,” Bildstein said. “As Aggies, we respect everybody … You don’t have to do anything big to make an impact.”

Members of CMSA held a march across campus Monday to show support for undocumented immigrants.

‘UNDOCUMENTED &

UNAFRAID’ The Council for Minority Student Affairs marched on campus in response to Trump being elected

By Brooklyn Figueiredo @Brooklyn_Fig Recent political rhetoric has brought uncertainty to members of the Council for Minority Student Affairs. CMSA hosted an “Undocumented and Unafraid” demonstration Monday to show support for undocumented immigrants and in hope of turning Texas A&M into a sanctuary campus.

On Nov. 21, a group of about 50 students, staff and family members held signs in Rudder Plaza and marched down Military Walk ending in the Academic Plaza. Angelica Ruvalcaba, president of CMSA, said in the days leading up to the demonstration there was an abundance of positive feedback online. This led members of the CMSA to expect a progressive turnout but still organized members of CMSA to act as peacekeepers just in case of aggressive negative feedback.

“We are asking for a sanctuary campus,” Ruvalcaba said.

“Just to bring awareness that there are [undocumented] Aggies here and we want to show solidarity and make sure people know that the community wants and supports the undocumented students here and it’s going to be a safe place for them

and they’re not going to worry about being deported or anything else. They are here to get an education and we want to make sure they are safe.”

As the group marched and chanted, some students passing by began following the crowd and a few chose to join in.

Member of CMSA Joseph Trujillo said this was a politically inspired demonstration and many immigrant students and their families are at risk of losing their temporary stay status, scholarships and education at A&M. During the demonstration, students, including Trujillo, came forward to give their testimony.

“When immigrants come to mind not a lot of people think good things about them and I think one of the big points of the rally is to demonstrate that there are great people out there who want to contribute to the American society and that they want to be as much of an American as everyone else,” Trujillo said.

A petition from early last week which was written by A&M professors and promoted by CMSA via Google Docs addressed A&M University President Young, urging him to “ensure that our campus is a sanctuary for undocumented students, staff, and their family members who face imminent deportation.”

Young replied to the petition with an email detailing that he will do everything within his power to ensure that students and staff remain full members of the academic community.

The lengthy petition collected hundreds of digital signatures, however not all students are in favor of it. Young sent an email in apparent response to the petition Nov. 18 with the subject

Aimee Rodriguez — THE BATTALION

line “We are all Aggies.”

“I don’t think it’s [President Young’s] responsibility, it’s above his pay grade,” said Tristan Partin, computer engineering sophomore. “I think what they are protesting about is pointless considering we are basically all United States citizens, being here illegally is still a crime, at some point it has to come to a stopping point. We don’t need sanctuary cities that allow illegal immigrants who are felons to stay in America.”

Ruvalcaba said she doesn’t know the exact number, but estimates there are a few hundred undocumented students at Texas A&M. Most of them had no other choice when they were brought here as children, according to Trujillo.

“I support it, I love that Aggies are spreading love rather than hate. Making a march about it may be too [intense] for others,” said Erika Alcocer, biomedical science junior. “I’m an undocumented student — there’s a reason why we are here, to get an education. I thought the petition for President Young was a reasonable request.”

Organizations such as CMSA are trying to start a dialogue.

Their strategy of demonstration and putting themselves in a public space embraces the element of dialogue and provides others to comment on the issue.

“I think we absolutely have to create these spaces [for dialogue] on campus, the climate that we currently have is integral to the function of a university campus,” said Matthew Etchells, international PhD student. “We’re a place to get people thinking about things that might not be on their radar.”

The Aggies are set to play the Tigers Thanksgiving night at Kyle Field starting at 6:30 p.m. and will be televised on ESPN.

Jacob Martindale @Papa_Duck17 — THE BATTALION

Feasting on football for Thanksgiving In final game of the season, Aggies look for first win over LSU since 1995 to move record to 9-3

By Lawrence Smelser @LawrenceSmelser On Thanksgiving Day Texas A&M will try to beat LSU for the first time as a member of the SEC and with Kevin Sumlin as its head coach.

For five straight years dating back to the 2011 Cotton Bowl, LSU has defeated A&M. The last time the Aggies beat the Tigers was during the 1995 season in College Station.

Sumlin said Monday that beating LSU would finally end the streak and give A&M a chance to play in a prominent bowl game.

“We haven’t won the game for whatever reason,” Sumlin said. “Sometimes we’ve played well and sometimes we haven’t. This is another game — one that our team wants to win.

There are a lot of guys that will know each other on the field this Thursday. There’s going to be a lot of familiarity. It’ll be a pretty good atmosphere Saturday night.”

The No. 22 Aggies will have their hands full facing the No. 25 Tigers. The Tigers, who are led by interim head coach Ed Orgeron, have only allowed seven touchdowns and have outscored opponents 93-33 in the second half of games. LSU is the only team in the FBS to hold opponents to 21 points or less in every game this season.

“LSU has a very, very talented defense,” said A&M offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone. “That defensive front is ath-

letic enough and physical enough to give you trouble with just four or five up front. What impresses me the most is the way those cats run to the football. And when they get there they’re not in a very good mood. It’s going to be a really big challenge for us.”

The Tigers (6-4,4-3 SEC) are coming off a 16-10 loss to Florida. The offense is led by a strong running game that features Leonard Fournette, who is arguably the best back in the nation, and Derrius Guice.

Due to Fournette’s limited availability due to injury, Guice leads the team in rushing with 964 yards and ten touchdowns.

The 5-foot-11, 212 pound sophomore is averaging eight yards per carry.

“Obviously Fournette is a great player, but Guice is a great player too,” Sumlin said. “They’ve got a big, strong offensive line and they use it well with backs who are really explosive and tough. They’re going to take their deep shots with long receivers who can really stretch the field. They’re a talented team. Because of that talent level and how they’ve coached, they’ve been in every ball game.”

At LSU’s weekly press conference, Orgeron confirmed that Fournette will be a game-time decision. The junior is dealing with an ankle injury. Orgeron also said that the defense will be without its best linebacker, Kendall Beckwith, due to a knee injury. The senior ranks No. 2 in the SEC in tackles.

Texas A&M (8-3, 4-3 SEC) enters the game after beating UTSA 23-10 at Kyle Field. The Aggie offense is led by backup quarterback Jake Hubenak. The Georgetown, native has thrown for 811 yards with six touchdowns and two interceptions this season.

Hubenak captured his first win as a starter against UTSA and played with an injured shoulder. His offensive coordinator praised him for his performance while in pain.

“He didn’t practice all week and didn’t throw a football until pregame,” Mazzone said. “He had pain every time he threw the ball. It’s a tribute to how important he is and how he is a true Aggie. I was impressed with how he gutted it out Saturday. It wasn’t easy for him to throw the ball.”

Hubenak is surrounded by a plethora of weapons including receivers Josh Reynolds and Christian Kirk, who have combined for 1,569 yards and 16 touchdowns. Reynolds has caught a touchdown in seven straight games which is a Texas A&M record.

On defense, A&M has superstar Myles Garrett back healthy and ready to play. The junior recorded 4.5 sacks against UTSA and needs only one more to move past Von Miller to No. 5 on Texas A&M’s all-time sack list.

“They’re very talented in their pass rush,” Orgeron said. “I recruited Myles out of high school so I know him very well.

You have to protect. He’s going to come off the edge. It’s going to take two to block him, maybe three. He’s that good.

Every time we think about dropping back to pass we have to think about Myles and who’s going to block him.”

With a win, the Aggies would move to 9-3, giving them their most wins in the regular season since 2012, when they won 10 games. It would also send off the senior class with a memorable victory in their last game at Kyle Field.

Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at Kyle Field and the game can be seen on ESPN.

By Heath Clary @Heath_Clary

M

yles Garrett is one of the most talented players in the country, but he hasn’t been healthy for most of the 2016 season. He first got banged up during the Arkansas game in late September, and has said he hasn’t been near 100 percent ever since. But he didn’t let that stop him from giving it his best every down he played.

During the week of practice leading up to Saturday’s game against UTSA, though, Garrett was feeling better and thought a big game might be

in store.

“I feel like I really got over an obstacle that was holding me back,” he said after the Aggies 23-10 victory over UTSA. “I was really struggling trying to come out and just come off that foot and bounce off and get lateral. I knew that if I just went out to practice and worked on it, that I’d be able to be successful in the game. Once I got over that fear and the pain went away, I knew that I’d have some success.”

As it turned out, he did have a lot of success. Simply put, Garrett looked like his old self against the Roadrunners. His 4.5 sacks more than doubled his season total which resulted in 30 lost

yards. He also recorded eight total tackles.

His outstanding play was a welcome sign to A&M’s beleaguered defense, which has been exposed in the last couple of weeks. The Aggies were slaughtered for an average of 532 yards in losses to Mississippi State and Ole Miss, and it’s possible that Garrett’s return could signal a turnaround for defensive coordinator John Chavis’ unit.

“Seeing what he did today doesn’t really surprise me,” defensive back Larry Pryor said of Garrett. “He’s crazy — just seeing him in practice and getting to see what he does during the games, it’s a good experience. We all start rallying around him. He’s a

big part of our defense.”

Head coach Kevin Sumlin praised Garrett for maintaining a positive attitude and continuing to be a good teammate even when he wasn’t getting the on-field results he’s accustomed to.

“I can’t tell you what a great teammate he is,” Sumlin said. “The guy was injured. He could have shut it down, he could have done a lot of different things, but he played through it. He’s been frustrated. A guy that has as bright of a future as he has, to play in a situation where he could have just saved himself until he was ready to go. That says a lot about what a person he is, what kind of young man he is, what kind of team-

mate he is, and how much he cares about this team and wanting to win.”

At one point in the second half, Garrett beat his blocker at the snap of the ball and grabbed UTSA quarterback Jared Johnson with one hand and pulled him down to the turf. It was an impressive display of strength and quickness — the kind of play that has most analysts projecting him as a top pick in next year’s NFL Draft.

“It was great to finally be able to move and get off close to how I wanted to,” Garrett said. “I just demonstrated at what level I can play at when I’m close to being healthy.”

Saturday’s version of Garrett makes the Aggie defense

infinitely more effective, and the Aggies will likely need Garrett to be at his best when LSU comes to Kyle Field Thursday.

It could be the final home game of his collegiate career, as he will likely forgo his senior season at A&M to pursue the NFL, but what a career it has been. On Saturday, Garrett became only the eighth player in SEC history to reach the 30-sack plateau for a career, but he hopes he still has some big moments left wearing the maroon and white.

“I mean it’s nice to know but hopefully I’m not done,” Garrett said. “Hopefully I can get past 35 and just keep on leaving my mark on the game.”

Engineering construction passes halfway mark New facility to offer bigger classrooms, labs for students

By Chris Martin @martin19340 In two years, the renovated former Zachry Building will hold one-third of all engineering classes, but for now construction continues.

The renovation of the five-story Zachry building — now called the Engineering Education Complex (EEC) — will offer additional classroom space for engineering education and will expand classroom opportunities for engineering students. Currently, the building remains about 50 percent complete and the university expects to be able to hold classes in the building in fall 2018.

Russ Wallace, executive director of Facilities Planning and Construc-

tion, said the construction process has gone smoothly with little setbacks.

“The construction has gone extremely well,” Wallace said. “We’ve got all the structure completed and we’re actually beginning to close in the building and start to put the new mechanical-electrical plumbing systems in.”

Dean of the College of Engineering, Katherine Banks, said the main support structure for the building is complete, and now the crew will be transitioning from exterior construction to interior remodeling.

“The construction has just reached 50 percent completion,” Banks said. “The majority of the work is now focused on the interior.

They are completing the electrical and utilities and after this phase, the crew will start finishing out the laboratory spaces. It’s pretty bare inside right now but they’ve done most of

the heavy construction.”

The estimated cost for the EEC is $225 million and Banks said the amount of donor gifts received has allowed the for the completion of the fourth and fifth floors of the

EEC, which were not in the original construction plan. Banks also said additional donations have been put toward building a quad for gathering space.

“We will be creating an engi-

neering quad,” Banks said. “It will be located at the south part of the building … It will be a huge green space.”
