Built on tradition

The Aggie Barn, located on Highway 6, is owned by Joe Swinnea, Class of 1985 and his wife Tressa Swinnea. Kevin Chou — THE BATTALION

Aggie Barn owners, former students share story of popular A&M landmark located off Highway 6 By Jena Seidemann @jena_seidemann

hen Joe Swinnea, Class of 1985, described the small Texas town where he is from, he said, “It is the one with the Aggie Barn.” Along Highway 6 in the small town of Reagan, the Aggie Barn was originally built in the 1920s as a bank. When the bank went out of business in the late 1920s, Thaggard Kirkpatrick, Class of 1924, bought the building in

the 1940s, and when he went to fix it from storm damage, he decided to paint it maroon and thus, the Aggie Barn was born. The town of Reagan had a population of roughly 150 people during Swinnea’s childhood, and he said it was the tightly knit community that allowed him to meet Kirkpatrick, who owned the barn before him. “When I was young, Reagan only had about 150 people. I was the paperboy and would cut grass for the Kirkpatricks as well as help them with whatever they needed from the time I was about 12 years old and up,” Swinnea said. “The influence Mr. Kirkpatrick had on me about the barn was just by knowing him and the wonderful man he was in all aspects of his life. He was a factor in my decision to go to school at A&M. I helped him hang the first Ol’ Sarge in the gable of the barn.”

Swinnea said he started to value the barn more and develop a friendship with Kirkpatrick as he went on to become a former student. When the opportunity arose to purchase the barn after Kirkpatrick’s passing, Swinnea took it and relocated the barn to his property. “My motivation for saving the barn was to save the little bit of history there is in Reagan,” Swinnea said. “And for me, growing up to now, when I tell someone I am from Reagan, they don’t know where that is. If I say I’m from the town where the Aggie Barn is, then everyone knows. [My wife] was the one that suggested we save it because she knew what it meant to me.” AGGIE BARN ON PG. 2

During the 2016 student activities block party, Miss Rev made a welcoming appearance posing for pictures with Aggies.

A day in the life of the First Lady of Aggieland Handler Gavin Suel sheds light on mascot’s daily schedule of events By Mariah Colón @MariahColon Attending class, appearing at events, posing for photos with students — there’s never a dull day in the life of the First Lady of Aggieland. The Reveille tradition began in 1931 when a group of Corps cadets hit a stray dog with their truck, brought the dog back to campus and the pup began barking the next morning to the sound of “Reveille.” During the next Football season, Rev I was named the official Mascot of A&M. Reveille IX was donated to the university by Overland Collies and assumed her role as the A&M mascot on May 9, 2015.

Miss Rev and her handler, kinesiology sophomore Gavin Suel, begin each day with a grooming routine, which Suel said she loves. “Every day when I wake up, I brush her teeth and I brush her hair and that is just the preliminary brush,” Suel said. “After that, every time we leave the dorm I’ll do another quick brush just to make sure she’s looking her best — no one ever sees her with bed head or anything like that. On Thursdays she goes to a professional groomer and she stays there most of the day getting shampooed and her nails done and all that.” While Reveille has a very busy life, Suel said she enjoys it and loves her playtime in between class or events. Suel and Rev will frequent parks, go on walks and run REVEILLE ON PG.2

A suspect in the murder of Texas A&M genetics senior Maricarmen Quiroz-Octaviano has been arrested and charged with murder after being found in Fort Worth. On Sunday morning at around 7:46 a.m., officers with the College Station Police Department responded to Scandia Apartments at 401 Anderson Street after receiving a report that someone had been shot. Upon arriving at the scene, officers searched the apartment and found Quiroz-Octaviano. During the investigation it was determined that the incident was the result of a domestic dispute and a person of interest was identified, according to a Sunday news release from CSPD. CSPD detectives, in cooperation with the Fort Worth Police Department, obtained an arrest warrant for Victor Manuel Garcia-Loyo for murder. Garcia-Loyo, a 22-year-old Hispanic male, is a resident of Del Valle, Texas. He was arrested on that warrant in Fort Worth at 11 p.m. Sunday. After further investigation, it was determined that Garcia-Loyo was in a relationship with Quiroz-Octaviano. He had been determined to be a person of interest in the murder, and contact was made with him over the phone and he agreed to come to College Station to be interviewed. However, when Garcia-Loyo didn’t show up, investigators tracked his cell phone and believed him to be in Fort Worth, where FWPD located him. Once FWPD officers located Garcia-Loyo, they found the driver’s license of the victim and a 9mm handgun in his possession. Garcia-Loyo also had what appeared to be a gunshot wound in his hand, so FWPD officers

detained him. According to a CSPD news release Monday, during an interview of Garcia-Loyo by CSPD detectives in Fort Worth, Garcia-Loyo confessed to shooting the victim several times during an argument in her apartment. During the altercation he shot himself in the hand as well. Garcia-Loyo has been transported to Brazos County Jail, and has been charged with the first degree felony of murder.

Campus organizations urge students to vote Gig the Vote, Aggie Democrats, College Republicans talk voting By Shahd Elbushra

Alexis Will — THE BATTALION

The deadline to register to vote is Oct. 11. Early voting begins Oct. 24.

The voter registration deadline Oct. 11 is quickly approaching, and the presidential election on Nov. 8 close behind. With these dates drawing near, organizations on campus are working to assist students with the registration process. Finance senior Spencer Davis founded Gig the Vote, a non-partisan Student Government Organization (SGA) initiative that focuses on enfranchising student voters in the Brazos County area. Davis said he started the organization in August 2015. Davis started working with Joseph Benigno, 2015-2016 student body president, and carried it through current student body president Hannah Wimberly’s administration.

“We identified the problem early on as being one where students are very civically engaged, going out and serving the community, but they don’t carry that out into voting in the community,” Davis said. “There are 15,000 students that voted for student body president last year, but in 2013, when the last mayor was elected in College Station, about three thousand people in the city voted. My data shows that a lot of those people who voted weren’t college students at all.” Davis said Gig the Vote identified students as being apathetic toward voting since they will only be at the university for four years, failing to grow an attachment to the surrounding community. “I’ve defined that as the nomadic voter problem, where students are coming from bigger cities to a more rural area and they forget how much local political leaders affect their lives,” Davis said. “We’re trying to give students VOTER REGISTRATION ON PG. 2

AGGIE BARN CONTINUED Kirkpatrick’s granddaughter, Kara Kenny, Class of 1986, said she was able to watch her grandfather build and paint the barn back when he began in 1980. “First of all, I don’t think my grandfather had any idea what was going to come of this because even when I was in school, it was cool to tell people about the Aggie Barn, but it wasn’t anything like it is today,” Kenny said. “He was 80 when he painted the barn. When you’re an Aggie, you’re always an Aggie. The Aggie Spirit does not die — it carries on from generation to generation.” She said each times she passes the barn, she is reminded of her grandfather and is proud that her family has taken part in a tradition that exemplifies what it means to be an Aggie. Kenny said she thinks there were no better people to look after it other than Joe and his wife, Tressa. “Joe Swinnea and I went to high school together, and I cannot think of anyone better to preserve the legacy that my grandfather would have wanted — that it was for the pleasure and enjoyment of Aggies,” Kenny said. “He is a great caretaker and a great person to have the barn.” Although Tressa Swinnea did not attend Texas A&M, she understood the sentimental value it had for her husband. She helps Joe maintain the barn and the website, as well as the belief that the barn should be appreciated and

not a profit creator. “We’ve never made money off the barn, and we do not see it as a source of revenue,” Tressa said. “We appreciate offers of donations that we get quite regularly, but we have declined all of them. There are a lot of people that visit the barn to take pictures — for graduation, engagement and family pictures. As long as we have given permission, we don’t mind people visiting to take pictures for personal use. However, the barn is on private property and visitors must obtain permission before entering the property.” Despite the few people who enter the property without permission and take photos for profit, she said the barn epitomizes the Aggie Spirit with how people care for the barn. “There’s a lot of people who keep an eye on it,” Tressa said. “It is an image for all Aggies.” Tressa and Joe said they hope the barn will continue to give fellow Aggies a sense of pride and joy through coming years, as well as remind them of one Aggie’s love for the university he dedicated so many years to. “It has become a symbol of Aggieland. It is a symbol of one man’s love for the university and what the university meant to him for 60 years,” Joe said. “Mr. Kirkpatrick is a Class of 1924 Aggie, and in 1980, he painted the barn maroon. It was a symbol of his undying love for the university and he did it for the pleasure of all Aggies. It is our goal to preserve it.”

VOTER REGISTRATION CONTINUED Students can register to vote in Brazos County until Oct. 11 and can find mail-in registration forms in libraries on campus.

their full voice in the community.” Gig the Vote has a 25-person team of ambassadors who are starting to go out to classes and organizations, speaking about the importance of voting in local government and providing information on how to vote.

Davis said Gig the Vote has gotten positive responses on campus. “It’s one of those things where no one disagrees with voting, and everyone thinks it’s a good idea. It’s just a matter of framing it for students and showing them why it’s important because these issues do affect them everyday.” This initiative has been a work in progress for over a year now, and Davis said they are focused on getting out on campus to inspire people to vote. David Isenhour, petroleum engineering junior, is the chairman of Texas A&M College Republicans, an organization aimed at fostering Republican and conservative thought on campus and offering voting opportunities for students. Isenhour said students can come register to vote at the College Republicans general organization meetings, which occur every other Tuesday. “You just need your driver’s license number or social security number and we will register you there on the spot,” Isenhour said. “We’re also providing from here and until election day — at least, at minimum — we’ll be providing once a week the ability for people to register on campus. Isenhour said as long as he or someone from the county party is present, students can register right there on the spot. “If not, I will be making sure that we have mail-in voter registration cards, and all you have to do is fill it out and drop it off in a post office box and that’s it, you’re done,” Isenhour said. Isenhour said regardless of a student’s political views, College Republicans wants students to be politically active. “All that matters to me is that they get involved in the political system and they are going to show up on Election Day,” Isenhour said. Isaac Zhukovsky, petroleum engineering masters student and program director for Texas Aggie Democrats, said the organization is currently working to get authorization and set up booths on campus for students to register to vote. “There are other groups on campus that want to do voter registration on campus and we are looking to do something in cooperation with those groups. It is our intention to hold

several registration booths on and off campus,” Zhukovsky said. “We will probably be doing something in conjunction with the Brazos County Democratic party.” Zhukovsky said it’s important for students to be politically active. “You end up with the government you deserve,” Zhukovsky said. “If you’re not politically active and politically engaged, you end up with people who don’t represent your want and needs. Being politically active means that you are better informed and more engaged with your community and your country.”

around during their play time. “She doesn’t have a ton of downtime — we’re always kind of on the go doing something, meeting someone, but she loves to nap and play — we love playing together,” Suel said. “A lot of times we’ll go on walks or just go to the park and relax, but she comes with me everywhere so whatever I’m doing she’s there with me too.” The list of Reveille’s favorite things is quite extensive, but Suel said one of the most obvious things Miss Rev enjoys is Aggie athletics. “She loves to play, loves chasing squirrels and she obviously loves Aggie football and all Aggie Athletics,” Suel said. “She’s the most red ass of us all — in close contention with Rev I. She was pretty red ass too.” While Rev’s love for athletics makes Kyle Field one of her top places on campus, Suel said she’s happy anywhere at Texas A&M. “I don’t think she has a least favorite place on campus. She loves A&M,” Suel said. “But you can always tell she has a particular distaste for Austin.” Suel also discussed the interesting rela-

tionship that Miss Rev seems to have with the Texas A&M campus squirrels. “She just loves them; I think she’s taken it upon herself to defend our campus from them,” Suel said. “She wants to make sure that we’re all safe. It’s hilarious when she’s around them she always keeps an eye on them. If I’d let her go she’d chase them all day, she loves it — it’s one of her favorite things.” As for her status on campus, he said she knows she is the top of the pecking order. “She’s really an interesting dog and has a multifaceted personality,” Suel said. “The first word that comes to my mind is diva, and I say this all the time, but she’s the Queen of Aggieland and she knows it for sure. It didn’t take her long to figure it out.” Suel said if he had to choose a single thing he thought Reveille IX enjoyed the most about A&M it would be the students. “Whenever we’re walking around campus people always want to come and meet her and she loves meeting Aggies and getting to know them, taking pictures with them and stuff like that,” Suel said. “You can definitely tell that she feeds off that and enjoys the attention and getting to meet everyone.”

Blacksmithing for a compound Hanna Hausman — THE BATTALION

A&M College of Science researchers hope to develop material that acts as superconductor By Josh Hopkins @TexasJoshua1 Just as the first Bronze-Age of blacksmiths heated metal to forge new tools, researchers in the College of Science are warming their furnaces to create unusual compounds in search of a better superconducting material. The dean of the College of Science, Meigan Aronson, brought the project with her when she accepted her position last year. Researchers on the project hope to create a material that acts as a superconductor at room temperature. Aronson said superconductors are a special collective state of electrons in which all of the electrons in a compound bond into pairs, leading to no resistance for electricity passing through the material. “Because it takes a certain amount of energy for an electron to spin up and one will spin down tied together into a pair, you have to break that pair in order to actually have resistance,” Aronson said. “So the fact that you have this pair is the origin of this resistance.” Research associate Hua He said currently all known superconducting materials are only superconductors at very low temperatures. “So far, the highest critical temperature is slightly above 200

K, Kelvin, so this is almost 100 K below room temperature,” He said. “So in terms of practical use it’s not that useful. You always have to cool your materials 100 degrees K below the room temperature for them to become zero in terms of resistance.” Aronson said a significant amount of energy is wasted due to resistance in power cables. “Probably between 15 and 20 percent of the energy is dissipated in transporting the energy to the end user that is your house or something along those lines,” Aronson said. “There are certain applications even today where superconductivity is useful even if you have to cool our materials down and put a lot of energy into the refrigeration.” He said the project could result in a substantial difference in saving power worldwide. “When you talk about the power wasted, aluminum and copper wire all have resistance and when we transfer electricity, we will waste a certain amount of power just doing the distribution,” He said. “When you have superconductor materials, which is zero resistance, during this distribution there will be zero waste.” Research assistant Shelby Zellman said the project involves designing, forming and measuring the material across two different labs at A&M. Zellman said creating the material takes between three to 10 days depending on a number of factors. Zellman also said the project uses a flux method to create the compound, where after carefully measuring the appropriate required materials, researchers will seal the materials necessary to make the compound in a quartz tube along with an element at

a low melting temperature to give the crystals a place to grow. After the material in the tube is properly melted down the tube is moved to a centrifuge where the extra element is separated, isolating the new compound, Zellman said. The material is then carefully removed and sent over to be tested for a number of characteristics. “When I say very carefully I mean we just kind of very carefully smash it,” Zellman said. “You don’t want to damage anything that’s in it, but really it’s however you can get it open.” Aronson said while superconductivity is the focus of the project, tests are also run for other key characteristics of each material. “Looking at something with your eyes doesn’t tell you all that much about what it is, so then there is the whole measurement program,” Aronson said. “This is the sort of project where you start at the beginning, you have an idea, you make the material, you do the tests, you discover something and you announce it to the world with a paper or a talk.” Aronson said nearly every material created by the project ends up with an interesting or unexpected quirk. “It takes a long time to figure all of these things out,” Aronson said. “You make the material and you do various measurements; there is no guarantee the first time you make it it’s going to be perfect and there might be issues. There is a lot of feedback between the measurements you make on the material and you come back and talk to the sample guys and say, ‘Well, maybe what we need to do is figure out a way not to get silicon in it.’”

By Kevin Roark @Kevin_Roark In its second tournament of the fall semester, Texas A&M men’s golf notched another top-five finish in the young season. The Aggies opened their season on the road two weeks ago when they traveled to Verona, New York for the Turning Stone Tiger Intercollegiate. The Aggies continued their season this past weekend at Olympia Fields,in the OFCC/ Fighting Illini Invitational and placed third behind tournament-host Illinois and Oklahoma State. This weekend, the Aggies were led by junior Cameron Champ who earned his first collegiate victory and his sixth career top-10 finish with a three-round total of 69 — five under par. Texas A&M head coach T.J. Higgins told 12thman.com that Champ’s performance set the tone for not only himself but the team for the remainder of the season. “I’m so proud of Cam,” Higgins told 12thman.com. “That is as good of a win as you’re going to get during the regular season. He was competing against some of the best players in college golf and came away with a three-shot victory.” The Aggies came out Friday firing on all cylinders. Champ had a tremendous opening round, Higgins said, posting a career low 65. Champ was then able to maintain his position at

the top of the leaderboard for most of the weekend, at one point sharing the lead with Illiniwek Dylan Meyer at 4 under. The Aggies held second through Saturday and for the majority of the tournament, at one point being within just six strokes of the lead before Illinois grabbed an even par round while A&M shot 15 over. “We looked pretty impressive after 15 holes, but we finished terribly,” Higgins told 12thman.com. “We could have had a chance to make a move at Illinois, but we played our way out of that.” Returning sophomore Chandler Phillips held as high as sixth and was able to gather a 17th place finish, his second top-20 appearance this season. Close behind was freshman and Kolkata, India-native Viraj Madappa in 33rd, junior Kavan Eubank at 45th and sophomore Max Miller scooping up 66th. Higgins told 12thman.com he was pleased with the way his team came out and performed on the road. “I’m proud of the guys overall,” Higgins said. “We really only had one flaw this weekend and that was finishing holes in all three rounds. It’s something we’re going to have to fix and do a better job of handling … I’m proud of them and really like what I saw this weekend. We’re a good team now, but we’re not the team we’re going to be because we’re going to keep getting better.” Texas A&M will return to action Sept. 30 as they participate in the Golfweek Conference Challenge at Spirit Hollow Golf Course in Burlington, Iowa.
