A&M wins big behind Christian Kirk’s historic record-breaking night By Angel Franco @angelmadison_
H
eading into Saturday’s game against New Mexico State, Texas A&M’s main focus was on getting better. After five continuous weeks of grueling SEC play, A&M played its third non-conference opponent of the season. The Texas Aggies struck quickly in the first three minutes of the game when freshman running back Trayveon Williams found a hole in the NMSU defense for 12-yard touchdown run that put A&M up 7-0. The A&M defense, which was without junior starters Armani Watts and Myles Garrett, made a quick stop to force the first punt of the game. Sophomore wide receiver Christian Kirk
had a highlight-reel worthy night in A&M’s 52-10 victory over New Mexico State. Kirk had a historic night as he became the first Aggie to have two punt return touchdowns in a single game. The sophomore wide-out said that he was thankful to have his name etched in A&M’s record books. “It means the world for me,” Kirk said. “Especially with the amount of great players that have come through this program. This university means so much. I play this game to leave a legacy and my name in the record books. I have to give thanks to the guys the in front of me blocking. It wouldn’t happen if they weren’t out there selling out.” Despite the large margin of victory, the A&M offense stalled out toward the end of first half. Senior quarterback Trevor Knight said that the adjustments during intermission allowed for A&M to successfully drive down the field and put the game away. “We started off really fast,” Knight said.
“That first drive might have been the best drive we’ve had all season to be honest. We had a few things here and there where we were a little sloppy. We can’t let that happen. We talked about it pretty at half time, that we can’t keep doing that. But then came out and had a few quick scores. We beat a team we were supposed to beat and made a bunch of big plays we were supposed to make.” Senior wide receiver Josh Reynolds was another member of the A&M offense to have a spectacular night. At the start of the second half, Knight connected with Reynolds for a 41-yard score to put A&M up 31-3. Reynolds finished the night with three receptions for 71 yards and a touchdown. A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin said that Reynolds is a player who is often overlooked but is very valuable to the A&M offense and the overall scheme of the game. “What people don’t appreciate, but I do and our team appreciates, is how hard he plays
LIFE & ARTS
without the ball,” Sumlin said. “He’ll go quarters without something like today, but there has been time after time he’s had knock down blocks. Where he’s down field blocking in our running game, he’s an aggressive guy. He’s really really increased his play as an overall player. He’s stronger, more physical on the perimeter, better blocker and a better overall player than last year and is playing with confidence.” This past summer, a group of A&M student-athletes traveled to Haiti on a week-long mission trip. After the celebratory Aggie War Hymn, several members of the A&M squad took the time to pose by a Haitian flag in a gesture of support to the country, which is still recovering from the disasters left by Hurricane Matthew earlier this month. The Aggies will be back in action next Saturday, Nov. 5 as they travel to Starkville, Mississippi, to take on the Mississippi State Bulldogs in the Aggies’ last road game of the season.

Dogs dress up to go home At annual Howl-o-Ween party dogs dress up, find forever homes By Dani Manley @danimanley18 Canine costume contests, inflatables, free adoptions from the Bryan Animal Center and a tractor hay ride were a few of the activities available during the dog-themed Halloween celebration Howl-O-Ween. The City of Bryan Parks and Recreation Department hosted their second Howl-O-Ween Festival Saturday, Oct. 29, at Morris “Buzz” Hamilton dog park. Gwynne Shillings, the event coordinator with the parks and recreation department, said she got the idea for HowlO-Ween three years ago. “I wanted to come up with the event because Morris ‘Buzz’ Hamilton was just newly formed,” Shillings said. “So we were trying to promote it and it was around that time of year, so we had a Halloween ‘paw-ty’. It is very successful because we have the Bryan Animal Cen-
ter out here doing free adoptions and we have a few vendors, but it’s more about just getting people to come out and enjoy the park and see what it has. We did hayrides and pumpkin decorating and some inflatables out here for the kids, and it was all free.” Shillings said she thinks this year’s festival was record-breaking in attendance. “We probably broke records this year,” Shillings said. “The animal center adopted two out of the six dogs they brought, which is wonderful because those dogs get to go home with a family tonight, and that’s what it’s all about.” Jennifer and William Geidel are residents of College Station who attended the festival along with their dogs, Dozer and Cooper. Jennifer Geidel said her husband and the dogs enjoyed the event immensely, especially participating in the animal center’s activities. “I like the dog training and the adoption stuff, that’s what I come for,” Jennifer Geidel said. “We used to go to the one where we used to live, but then we heard about this one. We’re definitely coming back next year.” HOWL-O-WEEN ON PG. 4

AGGIELAND’S MOST HAUNTED The LaSalle, AI building allegedly hosts ghosts By Ana Sevilla @AnaVSevilla Since its birth, the Bryan-College Station area has had many residents come and go, creating a rich history filled with moments of happiness — and darkness. Several sites around town are the alleged dwellings of mysterious happenings and possibly spirits. Life & Arts reporter Ana Sevilla delves into two of the ghostly legends. Texas A&M’s Agricultural Industries Building On Nov. 14, 1958 Roy Simms, meat locker room foreman, was preparing meat in the
animal laboratory located in the building’s basement. The Legend says that not wearing a butcher’s apron proved to be Simms’ fatal mistake, as he cut a slab of meat towards himself, the knife slipped and cut his leg severing his femoral artery. Simms’ assistant tried to call for help, but it was too late for Simms as he had significant blood loss from the injury. As the legend goes, Simms’ final act was to crawl towards the elevator to lift himself to safety but it was for naught. Since that fateful night, reports of blood-curdling screams and the elevator lifting with no passengers have been regularly reported. Jackson Wagner, first year AI Engineering graduate student, said he hasn’t encountered any
eerie instances in the Al building. “I came here [the AI building] for a tour last October and the tour guide mentioned a ghost, but I haven’t sensed anything weird,” Wagner said. “I don’t really have any reason to believe in ghosts because I’ve never had anything weird happen to me at any point in my life, so I can’t say I have a reason to believe.” The meat lab has since been relocated to West Campus, and the basement where Simms died has been converted into a men’s restroom with an entrance to a fire escape, with walls still lined with steel hooks once used for animals before slaughter, according to a 2011 article by The Battalion.

Since 1985, October has been nationally recognized as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign created to generate awareness of the disease. A Sept. 2016 report from breastcancer.org found that one in eight women will develop invasive breast tissue in the course of their lifetime. While death due to breast cancer is the second largest cause of cancer-related death for women, as research improves rates of death are falling and rates of remission are climbing. Maddison Phillips, chemical engineering junior, said her family took her grandmother’s breast cancer diagnosis and tried to make it as positive as possible. “We have chosen to take her remission and turn it into a positive thing, and go forth helping others who haven’t been as lucky. For the past five years my family has been partnering with the organization Barbells for Boobs which provides early detection mammograms for those who can’t afford it,” Phillips said. “This program has been such a cool way to serve … We help and attend events often with our grandmother, where we

can hopefully enact positive change for the future.” Although Breast Cancer Awareness month is coming to a close, researchers at Texas A&M are continuing to work hard to search for breast cancer treatment and prevention strategies. They want to put more people in remission and hear more stories of survival like that of Phillips’ grandmother. Isabel Lambertz, a lab manager for the Texas A&M Health Science Center, searches for what factors increase or decrease risk of development of cancer tissue. “It’s one thing to just observe something. What we are really trying to find now is ‘why is this happening?’ So you can hopefully intervene or try to fix it … Right now we are trying to figure out when is the critical time point for any change in risk. It’s a very hard study to do,” Lambertz said. Texas A&M researcher Robin Fuchs-Young focuses on finding what contributes to breast tumor development and understanding what questions researchers need to be asked. “We are predominantly interested in prevention, so the questions I think are important and the questions we ask are ‘why do some women get breast cancer and others don’t?’ ‘Why do some die and others don’t?’ We want to understand why some women are protected and who’s at increased risk,” FuchsYoung said. Fuchs-Young said the research looks at the placement of the tumor protein P-53 — a gene which functions as a tumor suppressant — and how mutations of the protein have caused variations between genes within a population. “They are not muta-
tions, they started that way, but they are not anymore,” Fuchs-Young said. “They are just passed along. In some cases, those variations carry with them a difference in cancer risks. There are a whole lot of these variations that you cannot see because they do not manifest themselves in what we call a phenotype. All the genes that you can’t see in a phenotype could be carrying a differential risk for cancer, as well. We study that, especially as it relates to P-53, there is a polymorphic variant in P-53 that we study.” Lambertz said the research conducted on the mice is focused on the health of the mother and the effects of her ill health on her children. “This basically is just to see if in utero exposure of a mother, who is diabetic or has metabolic syndrome, undiagnosed, or is obese, gets pregnant, and if there is any change in the risk of her children to breast cancer and early metabolic syndrome,” Lambertz said. “Eventually, we are also studying what the mechanisms are. It is one thing to just observe something, but what we are really trying to find out is, why is this happening, so you can eventually intervene and do something to fix it.” The medical community has provided many options for women who struggle with their body image after breast cancer surgery. Women can have reconstruction operations or breast-saving surgery. “One of the real challenges to breast cancer patients is when they have a mastectomy there is always an effect on their self-image,” Fuchs-Young said. “I think the scientific community is aware of it and I think it’s an issue that the medical community has responded to. In some cases they do what’s called breast-saving surgery…that is a direct response to reduce the impact of the surgery.” The advice she has to give for those diagnosed with breast cancer is simple. “Become educated, but live your life. This is a person to a person talking. You don’t have to track down every single study — don’t be afraid to go out and live your life,” Fuchs-Young said. “It’s good to be informed and it’s good to be educated because that gives you strength. Information is power, but also don’t forget to have some fun. That’s good advice for anybody.”

The Rohr Chabad Jewish Student Center sign was vandalized the morning of Oct. 30. The sign was removed from the center after the perpetrator damaged it, according to Rabbi Yossi Lazaroff, Rabbi and director for the Chabad Center. According to Lazaroff, the incident was caught in its entirety by the surveillance cameras. The person who committed the crime has not been identified at time of press, but the Chabad Center has contacted local police to help investigate the situation, as well as the Secure Community Network. Lazaroff said the incident has not been determined as a hate crime, although the sign has images of a menorah and Hebrew writing. “We have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of concern and support by students, parents and alumni. Since posting about the vandalism on Facebook, we have received dozens of comments filled with love and offers to help,” Lazaroff said. “We fully intend to replace the sign with one of far greater size and stature and we will only increase our activities for the benefit of Jewish students at the University.” Anyone with information on the vandalism can contact the University Police Department or the College Station Police Department. Supporters of the Chabad Center have set up a GoFundMe to raise money for a new sign, which can be accessed on the center’s Facebook page. — Staff Report

Texas A&M still in running for College Football Playoff Heath Clary

exas A&M began Saturday as the No. 9 team in the country, according to the Associated Press poll. After a crazy day of football that featured several close games, three upsets to top-ten teams and several other nail biters, the one-loss Aggies will undoubtedly inch up in the rankings. While A&M took care of business with a 52-10 route over visiting New Mexico State, other teams around the country didn’t make it look so easy. No. 4 Washington barely held off a surging Utah squad, No. 5 Louisville needed a last-second touchdown pass to stave off defeat against lowly Virginia and No. 6 Ohio State almost lost for a second straight week but barely outlasted Northwestern 24-20. In other words, even though the Aggies suffered a dominant loss at the hands of top-ranked Alabama last weekend, their season is far from lost. With the inaugural CFB Playoff rankings coming out Tuesday, Kevin Sumlin’s squad could potentially be ranked in the top five. “I think it’s great for our fans that we’re relevant in November,” Sumlin said after Saturday’s game. Their playoff rank is hard to predict because it is nearly impossible to know what the playoff committee will value when considering the teams, but A&M has a strong resume when you consider its strength of schedule, RPI and the fact that its only loss came to the top team in the nation. But the Aggies still shouldn’t worry about what the committee decides on Tuesday. History has shown that teams left out of the original top four actually have a much higher chance of being in the final four. Regardless, the Aggies must win the remaining four games on their schedule to give themselves a chance. And they have a solid chance to do just that. “Every game coming up is big for us,” sophomore defensive tackle Kingsley Keke said. A&M should have no trouble with Mississippi State and UTSA, leaving Ole Miss and LSU in the way of the Aggies’ first 11-win regular season since 1992. Both are ultra-talented teams, but each have their flaws and the Aggies will have the luxury of hosting both of them in the friendly confines of Kyle Field. The Rebels will come to College Sta-
tion on a low note. Their rough season continued with a 40-29 loss to No. 15 Auburn on Saturday night and will come to College Station with at least five losses on their record. LSU, on the other hand, has been redhot for the past couple of weeks. Ever since Ed Orgeron took over the squad in late September, the Tigers have been firing on all cylinders in every facet of the game. However, the Aggies can find solace in the fact that LSU has to play Alabama, Arkansas and No. 14 Florida in consecutive weeks prior to its Thanksgiving Day bout in Aggieland. It will be difficult, but the Aggies have thrived in tough situations all season. They have proven their mettle in defeating three ranked teams to this point in the season, including double-overtime thrillers against UCLA and Tennessee. The offense continues to improve seemingly every week — save for Alabama, but that had more to do with the Tide’s stellar defense than the Aggie offense — as Trevor Knight gets more comfortable in the system. He has a deep, explosive group of wide receivers at his disposal and a stable of running backs to run behind a young offensive line that continues to develop under the watchful eye of offensive line coach Jim Turner. Defensively, John Chavis has overseen a unit that has had its ups and downs but has been effective nonetheless. The A&M defense has shown an ability to tighten up in the red zone and hold opposing teams to field goals instead of touchdowns, which is a critical skill in today’s offensive-driven version of college football. Despite giving up more than 400 yards of offense per game, the Aggies rank fifth in the SEC in scoring defense with only 20 points allowed per game. All told, if Texas A&M can find a way to win out, I don’t see any way the committee can keep them out of the playoff. Heck, even a two-loss Aggie team with losses to Alabama and either LSU or Ole Miss would have a strong case, especially considering how close other top teams came to losing this week. It won’t be easy, but the Aggies wouldn’t have it any other way. “I think that our team has bought in really well to the idea of ‘Let’s play this week, it’s about us,’” Knight said. “If we continue to do that, we’ll put together a good stretch down the end here.”

Owners and their dogs dress up in costumes at the annual Howl-o-Ween celebration in Bryan.
HOWL-O-WEEN CONTINUED Along with the activities for dogs and their owners, attendees could take home a dog of their own. Bryan Animal Center brought six dogs for residents to take home with them for free.
HAUNTED CONTINUED The LaSalle Hotel in Bryan More sinister happenings have been reported in Downtown Bryan at the LaSalle Hotel. The LaSalle was erected in 1928 and owned by the Howell family. However, from 1959 to 1975, the building was converted into a nursing home, with patients coming and going — leaving either by exit or death. The La Salle was restored to its glory in 2000 when Bryan was reviving its historic downtown area, but some say the spirits still remain. Bar manager Salina Grisham said strange occurrences such as lights flickering, reports of knocks on windows and stranger incidents happen during the middle of the night.
“I’ve worked for the City of Bryan for two years, so I’ve done this now twice,” said Alma Garcia, Class of 2014 and programs coordinator for the Bryan Animal Center. “I’m with the Bryan Animal Center so today we were out here with six dogs and we did free adoptions.” Garcia said one of her favorite parts of the festival is seeing
“Our executive chef, Antonio, was staying in the basement one night, just kind of crashing down there between shifts at about 2 o’clock in the morning,” Grisham said. “Two bottles of wine just exploded, so he just grabbed his blanket and said, ‘Okay, you can have the basement.’” According to Grisham, some guests even report feeling a tug at their feet while they sleep, perhaps by the ghosts of the patients that once occupied the hotel. “Quite a few people passed away here, so they’re probably still here,” Grisham said. “I think if you believe in souls, then something so dynamic can’t be just gone when you pass away. I think it could hang around if it wanted to.”
