Sophomore wide receiver Christian Kirk had a career high 12 catches in the game against South Carolina.

Aggies 5-0 after win over South Carolina Saturday victory puts Texas A&M at No. 8 in AP poll By Heath Clary @Heath_Clary Saturday’s Texas A&M-South Carolina matchup had all the makings of a trap game. The No. 9 Aggies entered the contest riding high as a top-ten team coming off a decisive win over Arkansas, while the Gamecocks limped into Williams-Brice Stadium with a 2-2 record and an unimpressive loss to Kentucky last weekend. But even though they didn’t play their best game, the Aggies (5-0, 3-0 SEC) still managed to outlast the Gamecocks (2-3, 1-3 SEC) and come away with a 24-13 victory, making it three straight seasons that A&M has started 5-0. “We got a win, we’re 5-0, and we couldn’t feel better,” A&M quarterback Trevor Knight said

after the game on SEC Network. “I’ve always said there’s no such thing as an ugly win, because when you’re winning football games that’s a big-time deal.” It would have been easy for A&M (5-0, 3-0 SEC) to overlook South Carolina (2-3, 1-3 SEC) this week with big matchups against No. 11 Tennessee and No. 1 Alabama on the horizon, and that’s exactly what it looked like was happening in the first half. But it only took Trayveon Williams about three minutes into the third quarter to find some open space and run for a 49-yard touchdown. That big run gave the Aggies a lead that they would not relinquish. “We kept our composure; that’s a big thing that I see this year,” Kirk said of the offensive unit. “When the other team scores we’re always comfortable, we’re always calm and everybody is locked in and ready to FOOTBALL ON PG. 2

Freshman Shelby Smith (center) was diagnosed with a form of cancer called olfactory neuroblastoma at the start of the semester. Now, Aggies are working to donate for her treatment via a GoFundMe.

Aggies rally behind freshman diagnosed with neuroblastoma By Meredith McCown @meredithrhoads

reshman year for Shelby Smith brought a change most don’t expect their first year of college — a diagnosis with cancer. Smith moved to College Station from her hometown in Plano in August to start her freshman year at A&M, where she pledged Tri Delta. On bid day, her mom told Smith that she had a rare type of cancer called olfactory neuroblastoma. Since that day, Smith has received an outpouring of financial and emotional support for her battle with cancer. After receiving the news Smith created a GoFundMe account to raise money to help her family through the unexpected journey. Approximately $86,000 in the last three weeks have been donated for Smith’s cause. When she told her pledge class about her diagnosis, Smith said the response was unbelievable from the girls she has only known for just over a month. “It was very overwhelming,” Smith said. “I told my pledge class at one of our Sunday meetings and this one girl came up to me, and then immediately everyone came up to pray over me and it was just unreal. Everyone has just been so supportive and so awesome on another level that I never even expected.” Smith’s boyfriend, construction science freshman Spencer Ellison was blown away by the support she received. “It made me super happy,” Ellison said. “Finding

out that she raised 86 grand on GoFundMe just showed me how amazing the Aggie network really is. And how everyone comes together to help out an Aggie. Aggies help out Aggies and that just really showed me what that meant.” Smith is taking online classes this semester to still be involved in school and said her confidence in the Aggie family has grown even stronger because of the support she’s received. “Even though I’ve been in these online classes, we have a group project due next Friday where we have to meet up with our group,” Smith said. “And this one guy came and said to me, ‘Oh my gosh, you’re the girl on the GoFundMe account, I donated.’ I had no clue who he was — he was just someone in my class but he was so helpful wanting to help me on the project.” The philanthropy committee for the Fiji fraternity, led by philanthropy chair and mechanical engineering junior Hogan Sauer, initiated the idea to partner up with Tri Delta to raise money through tickets, T-shirt sales and a silent auction — including a signed jersey from former A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel — for Smith through an event called “BTHO Cancer,” which took place Sunday. “The main purpose is to show that we all are coming together to support her,” Sauer said. “I think it is a good example for Greek life with two Greek organizations coming together, but our main purpose was to support Shelby in whatever way we could.” Hayley Redding, construction science junior and Tri Delta philanthropy chair, said supporting Smith has built camaraderie within the chapter and shown their hearts are behind their philanthropy, St. Jude SMITH ON PG. 4

Grand Slam continues to grow Brian Okosun — THE BATTALION

The “Domestic Violence: Improving Women’s Lives” traveling exhibit hopes to inform people of the prevalence of domestic violence.

A&M hosts new exhibit about domestic abuse Prof contributes reports, manuscripts to display By Ana Sevilla @AnaVSevilla According to the New York Times, statistics show that over one in four undergraduate women have or will experience sexual assault. With such staggering results, Texas A&M has urged its students to prevent “sexual assault and sexual violence” through the Step In, Stand Up Campaign. To further support victims, Texas A&M is hosting the “Confronting Violence: Improving Women’s Lives” traveling exhibit. The abridged banner exhibit of the National Library of Medicine’s exhibit, which opened Sept. 26,

features items representing the history of the anti-domestic violence movement in America. Notable movement figures include Dan Sheridan, professor of nursing, who contributed works to the exhibit such as manuscripts, reports, photographs and even posters and buttons. Sheridan’s contributions have been gathered since 1978, when he began working with domestic violence victims as a volunteer. “One in four women are in, were in or will be in a domestically violent relationship — that’s how prevalent it is — and we’ve only begun to scratch the surface,” Sheridan said. Esther Carrigan, associate dean and director of the Medical Science Library, was one of A&M’s VIOLENCE ON PG. 3

Texas Grand Slam adds new events, showcases poets By EmmaLee Newman @emmy_lee014 This weekend 54 poets from across the country traveled to Bryan-College Station to compete for a $1,200 prize in the largest poetry festival in the South. Texas Grand Slam (TGS) is an annual three-day competition put on since 2006 by the local poetry organization — Mic Check — where poets compete in different categories of poetry. Thursday night the competition kicked off in a new way with the Last Chance Slam, in which eight poets competed for a spot in the main competition at Blackwater Draw in Bryan. Christopher Michael, host of the Last Chance Slam and poet, talked before the competition about what slam is all about. “I cannot guarantee you will not be offended or triggered or hurt or emotionally moved by any of the poems up here,” Michael said. “This right here is the designated safe space that these poets come up here and spit their truth. TGS started in 2010 when there was an opportunity to win a Pepsi grant. The Mic Check team, led by

go.” Knight was effective once again for the Aggies, rushing for 84 yards on 12 carries and a touchdown. He also completed 23-of-40 pass attempts for 206 yards. He targeted Christian Kirk early and often to the tune of 12 catches and 61 yards, and Jeremy Tabuyo was also huge in the passing game. The senior from Hawaii finished with four catches and a game-high 89 yards, including an acrobatic one-handed grab in the second quarter to convert on a 3rd-and-18 play. The Aggies’ win might not look too good on paper, but it was made more impressive by the fact that they were missing some of their key cogs. All-American defensive end Myles Garrett, wide receivers Ricky Seals-Jones and Speedy Noil as well as right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor all sat out due to injury. Safety Armani Watts said he was happy with the way other guys stepped up in their place. “We had a couple of people out, but we know we have other guys who can come in and contribute,” Watts said. “We have players all around, so we have

someone who can fill into those spots and be just as good.” South Carolina jumped out to an early lead in the first quarter when A.J. Turner sprinted 75 yards for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage, but the Aggies responded by scoring on their first drive before letting the defense take over. The Gamecocks did not score again in the first half, and only managed two more field goals the rest of the way. When SC kicker Elliot Frye made a 43yard field goal in the third quarter, it was the first points that A&M had allowed in that quarter all season. Shaan Washington led A&M with 11 tackles, Daeshon Hall recorded two sacks and 3.5 tackles-for-loss and Watts finished with six tackles and an interception. Offensively, the Aggies entered the game having run exactly the same number of run and pass plays, and they maintained that balanced approach on Saturday. Of their 422 total yards, 216 came on the ground and 206 came through the air. Highly touted freshman quarterback Brandon McIlwain struggled the majority of the game for the Gamecocks,

throwing for only 34 yards on nine completions, and was replaced by Perry Orth in the fourth quarter. Orth led the Gamecocks on three fairly long drives, but they turned it over on downs on one of those and the other two ended in field goal attempts. One of the biggest plays of the game came late in the fourth, when it looked like South Carolina had forced an A&M punt and would get the ball back with ample time remaining in a one-possession game. However, returner Jamarcus King muffed the punt and the Aggies’ 12th Man Cullen Gillaspia came up with the recovery. A few plays later, Daniel LaCamera converted a 35-yard field goal to effectively put the game out of reach and quell the Gamecocks’ upset hopes. The Aggies will now begin to prepare for No. 9 Tennessee in what will likely be a top-ten matchup next weekend in Kyle Field. The game will be broadcast on CBS at 2:30 p.m. “It’ll be great to have it at home,” Sumlin said. “It’s been a while since we’ve had a game like this, and we want the 12th Man in full effect. I know that our fans will not disappoint and that will be a great atmosphere next Saturday.”

Parker said. “It gets bigger and better and I’m always excited to see where it goes the next year.” Saturday night in Rudder Theatre 10 poets competed in the final stage in an intense showdown with poems that ranged from the topics of race to feminism to family love to self love. Pages Matam, a poet from Washington, won TGS with 89.9 out of 90 points. “Everything about TGS is amazing. I love the community, I love the energy, love the vibe; this is a fantastic event and there needs to be more dope ass community driven highenergy events like this,” Matam said. TGS reverberates with many emotions each time a poet comes to stage according to Taylor Rothfield, recreation park and tourism sciences senior. Rothfield said that the conflict and exposure to these emotions are beneficial. “The atmosphere can be jovial or it can

be heavy … and the room is absorbing all of the emotions that the poet is splaying out and how we return it as an audience is the hardest thing to do,” Rothfield said. “Being able to come and hear a different view is refreshing and challenging and everyone have their views challenged.” TGS has grown not just in participation but in events, too. In addition to the Last Chance Slam, this weekend included additional activities like a Haiku Slam and a Freestyle Slam. “There are several regional slams in the country … but Texas Grand Slam is slowly becoming the best, the most popular, the most significant — you are witnessing history,” Michael said. For others like Jeremy Knowles, Class of 2016, competing at TGS motivates them. “I feel like it makes me want to get out there and tell others more about injustices in the world because sometimes I forget to speak up and TGS is a reminder that I need to do that,” Knowles said.

Dan Sheridan speaks with an attendee after his presentation of the “Confronting Violence” traveling exhibit.

VIOLENCE CONTINUED proponents for the exhibit. She requested that the exhibit stop by Aggieland because of Sheridan’s key contributions. “We need to work together to make it better to help people,” Carrigan said. “The biggest progression is that people will talk about [domestic violence] now … There’s been a shift in social attitudes and a willingness to share stories.” Sheridan said while progress has been made, the subject of domestic violence is still generally considered taboo. “Violence against women and children is no longer a secret — we have brought it into the mainstream discussion,” Sheridan said. “We have TV shows that touch on it, some better than others, some movies, so it’s no longer this hidden secret — we’ve broken away from that, but we still only give pennies — we literally give pennies — to interventional services.” Sheridan advises college students — male and female — to be wary of jealousy in a partner because it’s “a sign of control.” Other telling signs of an abuser include tracking, verbal abuse, isolation and even animal abuse. Sheridan also said one way to combat creating future perpetrators is to begin teaching children early on what acceptable behavior consists of. “We’ve got to look at this as a social intervention issue,” Sheridan said. “A lot of these guys

grew up in abusive homes and this is what they know, this is what they learned. So it’s not a disease, it’s a learned social behavior that really was legal. It was legal in this country until 1975 for a man to beat his wife.” But women aren’t the only victims. About 20 percent or more of men are abuse victims, according to Sheridan. “We still socialize young girls that it’s unladylike to fight and young girls learn to fight with their words,” Sheridan said. “So you have this young couple, no different from the young couple when I was that age, and they have that first big verbal argument: who usually wins the verbal argument? She does, she’s had a lot more practice.” Second-year medical student Adriana Ocon said the exhibit offers patrons an opportunity to learn more about domestic violence. “I just thought it was something really interesting,” Ocon said. “I’m interested in OBGYN, so it seemed like a topic that would be useful to know about for my future patients. It’s something that if you don’t know someone directly, you will come across someone that this has happened to, so it’s good to be informed and prepared.” The exhibit will be at the Texas A&M College of Nursing until Oct 9. The exhibit will then relocate to Medical Sciences Library until Oct. 23, and then will relocate to Sterling C. Evans Library from Oct. 24 through Nov. 4.

Texas A&M Tri Delta has put forth great efforts to support their sorority sister, freshman Shelby Smith during her fight with cancer.

SMITH CONTINUED “Cancer affects so many people,” Redding said. “We’re raising money for St. Jude, and I feel like St. Jude is so tangible for people because we are raising money for childhood cancer. And now, one of our very own members has cancer and so we have to do something. This is what we are about, this is the heart and soul of Tri-Delt.” In high school, Redding battled cancer as well and has been a genuine encouragement for Smith as a picture of someone who has been there before. “I wanted to talk to her because even

though our situations are different, I still understand more than most people would as far as the attention you get is overwhelming and the fear of the unknown,” Redding said. “What I tried to tell her was that I’ve never been more confident in my lord and savior Jesus Christ after going through what I went through.” Smith said while this experience has been unexpected and overwhelming for her, she wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. “It has been such a different world,” Smith said. “People that I don’t even know have been so nice … I never would have expected something like that and I know that if I was anywhere else it wouldn’t have nearly made such an impact.”
