The self-driving shuttle of Texas A&M Ph.D. candidate and team are creating a driverless shuttle By Savannah Mehrtens @SJMehrtens Autonomous shuttles, once thought to be a thing of the future, are becoming a realistic feat. On Sept. 1, Texas began enforcing a law that allows autonomous shuttles to drive on all roadways. At Texas A&M, the mechanical engineering department has already begun the process of creating an autonomous shuttle. Doctoral student Garrison Neel is building the autonomous shuttle at A&M with the help of mechanical engineering seniors Amir Darwesh and Quang Le, advised by associate engineering professor Srikanth Saripalli. This program was introduced to the university last October, but extensive progress has been made since. The shuttle’s top speed is 25 mph in order to remain classified as a slow moving vehicle, and to have the ability to drive on pedestrian sidewalks. “We usually operate somewhere in the range of 10 to 15 miles an hour,” Neel said.

“It doesn’t seem like a good thing to increase the speed, especially since we are going to be operating around so many pedestrians, mostly for safety. The faster you go, the faster you have to react and the harsher you have to react, so for a smooth comfortable ride, probably won’t be going too much faster.” The LIDAR system acts as the eyes of the machine. Running at 10 Hertz per second, the LIDAR system sends out laser beams to collect data to find objects such as people, poles and statues and stop the vehicle at such data points. “It sends out a bunch of laser beams into the world and gets them back, and we look through all that data to find stuff like people and mark them on the screen and slow down for them if we need to,” Neel said. LIDAR is currently the only system on the shuttle, but there are plans to add a vision system. Darwesh is working on the LIDAR and vision system for the shuttle, which is composed of stereo cameras that recognize depth for pedestrian and obstacle detection. “Eventually we have plans to use vision for people detection and obstacles, which will kind of combine both systems,” Darwesh said. “Stereo cameras allow you to see depth as well instead of just looking a 3-D image, you can

Looking to the road ahead Head coach Kevin Sumlin discussed the loss to UCLA and what the team will be doing to move forward to the rest of the season.

Sumlin, Kirk discuss the loss to UCLA, injuries and this Saturday’s game By Ryan MacDonald @Ryan_MacDonald2 After a tough defeat, the first thing on an athlete’s mind is when they can get back on the field and get back to work to improve and avenge their shortcomings. Unfortunately, this is not possible for quar-

terback Nick Starkel and defensive back Donovan Wilson, both of whom had surgery to repair a fractured ankle and left foot, respectively. There is no timetable for the return of either of these two players and their return this season is questionable, leaving big shoes to fill for whoever head coach Kevin Sumlin decides to start in their place. True freshman Kellen Mond played a couple of series in the first half before taking over for Starkel in the second half after Starkel went down. Mond’s lack of experience at the col-

legiate level showed, as he completed only three out of his 17 passes for 27 yards. Despite Mond’s sub-par start as an Aggie, junior receiver Christian Kirk is confident Mond will continue to progress and come into his own. “He’s going to have to do a great job in his game preparation and just go out there and execute against Nicholls,” Kirk said. “There were flashes on Sunday that we all saw, he definitely has a bright future.” The role Mond will play in Saturday’s game is unclear, as Sumlin said he will not announce a starter until Saturday. “It’s the same situation as last week, we’ve got to get both guys ready to go since Nick’s not available,” Sumlin said. Sumlin also added that it is very likely that both Mond and senior quarterback Jake Hubenak will play this weekend and in the next couple games ahead. The loss of Wilson will force senior defensive back Armani Watts to step up and take more of a leadership role. “I’m going to have young guys next to me, so I’m going to have to let them know where they need to be and also help them to handle the pressure,” Watts said. “Losing Donovan is big, but we have guys to step in and play, that’s part of this game.” Despite the gut-wrenching loss, Sumlin said he wants to focus on the positive aspects of the UCLA game and pointed to the Aggies strong play from the running game, particularly in the first half when the Aggies combined

for 286 rushing yards. The second half was significantly different for the Aggie rushing attack, as UCLA stacked the box and forced Mond to throw the ball downfield. This schematic change paid dividends for UCLA, and will likely be replicated by the Aggies’ future opponents. “We know that they know now, they’re going to load the box on us and force Kellen to be a complete quarterback,” Sumlin said. Moving forward, Sumlin will reflect on what went wrong Sunday during practice this afternoon and then put it behind them and start preparing for their game against Nicholls this Saturday. “Today will be our first time to review video and talk about the positive and the negatives from Sunday night,” Sumlin said. “But this afternoon will be the last time we talk about UCLA from a lot of different facets.” Though heavy underdogs in the game, Sumlin knows that Nicholls is not a team to be overlooked due to their talent on offense and their experience in big games and electric venues. “They’re very similar to us offensively, really balanced. They’ve got a couple receivers outside that can really go, their quarterback has been really effective,” Sumlin said. “They’re coming off a win, they’re not going to be intimidated coming in here. They’re going to PRESSER ON PG. 2

Texas A&M Ph.D. candidate and team could rewrite history Site in central Florida shows signs of humans and mammoths co-existing By Savannah Mehrtens @SJMehrtens Despite conventional wisdom stating the opposite, research currently being done by a Texas A&M doctoral student may show that over 12,000 years ago, humans and Columbian mammoths may have co-existed at the same time. Morgan Smith, an A&M doctoral student in anthropology and student in the Center for the Study of the First Americans, has spent the past three years doing research and collecting material from the Guest Mammoth underwater site at the Silver River in central Florida with a grant from the Felburn Foundation in Florida. In the early 1970s, Charles Hoffman, a professor at the University of Florida, was informed about bones found at Guest Mammoth, named after a truck driver in the area that reached out to an amateur archeologist after he found multiple bones while scuba div-

ing. Hoffman brought a team of students with him to the site, where they conducted the first underwater archeological dive excavation in the Americas and found what is believed to be a mammoth kill site, based on stone tools and bone markings. His reports were turned away by the scientific community because dating technology would not progress enough for accurate information for another 20 years. “He was so pioneering he was limited by the science at the time, because he got radiocarbon dates on the mammoth bones and they came out to about 11,500 years old,” Smith said. “But the problem is that he dated the protein in the animal bones.” Until the turn of the century, the necessary technology to hyper-purify the animal bone protein was not available, which caused results to show a younger date for Hoffman. The rejections he received from the scientific community caused him to quit archeology and move to the Caribbean. For close to 40 years, no one went back to the site. Now, Smith and his team are working with technology that will provide accuMAMMOTH ON PG. 2

Wide receiver Christian Kirk said the team is not looking back on the loss to UCLA, but is focusing on the home opener this Saturday.

PRESSER CONTINUED come in here excited and we got to be ready to play.” Despite Nicholls’ experience playing big games, Kirk thinks that the 12th Man will play a significant role in Saturday’s game. “I expect an amazing atmosphere,” Kirk said. “I never put it past the 12th Man.” The Aggies will take on Nicholls in their home opener this Saturday on Kyle Field at 6 p.m.

MAMMOTH CONTINUED rate information on the site. Until recently, some people thought that humans arrived in the southeast United States 13,000 years ago, but recent excavations and research are beginning to prove that there were established humans well before then. “I started just kind of looking around for sites when I was doing my dissertation, sites that could tell me more about the people in the southeast United States,” Smith said. “In the recent years, there have been a couple of major discoveries in the southeast archaeology, where we now know that people were in the eastern U.S. really perfect, like in some cases, almost contemporary with the west.” Now that the biases which originally held Hoffman back have been disproven, proper research with correct technology can help revisit and correctly date this site. Smith spent a few weeks in the summer and one winter over the course of two years to search for the site using tracking technologies. “I thought it was a really interesting site and I wanted to see if we could go back there and find it again, which was a really big challenge because it was 50 years ago, and it’s in a river and there was no GPS at the time, so [Hoffman] kind of just drew a circle on a map of where it was, it was really tough to find,” Smith said. “We used a lot of remote sensing, some ground penetrating radar and these metal detectors to try and find the site.” Using remote sensing tools such as sonar and radar, Smith is able to get a comprehensive examination of the underwater site. Additionally, Smith collects sediment cores, which are

tubes of sediment layers collected on site that can be studied later as a geological time chart through radiocarbon dating. “We look for sediments of a certain age, so if we take a core and the oldest sediment there is, like 6,000 years old and that’s on top of bedrock, then we know there’s going to be no sediment of the age we want,” Smith said. “So we’re not going to excavate there, cause what we really want to do is find stuff in place and in a datable context.” The pH of the water and sediment depositions allow for excellent preservation for Smith’s work, but sea level rise and ocean temperature changes are likely to affect archeological sites, according to Smith. With rising temperatures, bacteria growth is one of the biggest threats to underwater archeological sites. “That’s where all [early humans] resources were, that’s where a lot of the water was, because inland water resources were pretty scarce during this time period because it’s so dry, so the coast would have been the best spot [to live],” Smith said. “Sea level rise can damage hundreds of thousands of archaeological sites, shipwrecks and prehistoric sites, so it’s a really big deal.” Smith also studies prehistoric sea level rise. His studies involve observing how people adapted to sea level rise and climate change during this time period. “Following the last ice age, we had the most recent sea level transgression since recorded history,” Smith said. “It’s the best analogue for what we’re going to face as sea levels are rising today.”

DRIVERLESS CONTINUED said. “We also have what we call direct wave speakers, so it will send the audio directly to a single direction instead of going everywhere, so it will point to the target pedestrian.” With the future of automated vehicles approaching reality, there are some ethical conversations being discussed on TED Talks and other media platforms. For now, Neel said the work being done on the autonomous shuttle is only focused on stopping if an object comes into its path. “There are no ethical dilemmas at the moment,” Neel said. “Really, our goal with the golf cart is just if we see an obstacle, to stop. There really isn’t that kind of decision making of ‘Who do I save?’ It’s just ‘Stop.’” The team will continue their work on the autonomous shuttle this semester, eventually building in the new visual and communication features.

Hidden gems of the library Library services reveal little known secrets and helpful tips By Nathan Brown @nathanpatrickbr The new semester finds Texas A&M’s library system enhanced and improved, with renovations ranging from a newly browsable media collection to a more spacious writing center. In addition, the start of the semester introduces the rigors of academic life and the A&M library system offers many services to aid student’s academic needs. Here are a few library services that you may not know about: Media and Reserves Need to see a movie for a class? Or looking for something to kick back to on a Saturday night? Fear not. In the Media & Reserves section of the Annex, you can check out DVDs and Blu-Rays, each for a period of one week. The collection is comprehensive— from the latest Pixar movies, to Charlie Chaplin classics, to every season of “The Office,” Media & Reserves has it all. Conveniently located on the first floor of the Annex, all it takes is a quick browse and checkout and you are on your way. Media & Reserves also lets you check out a variety of useful equipment for a few hours at a time. Forget a phone charger? Need a voice recorder for a project? Media & Reserves once again has you covered. Other items available for varying rental periods include DSLR cameras, projectors, tablets and even certain textbooks for four hour increments. Blinn student Shahrukh Niazi said this is an important resource for students, especially those who aren’t required to read the full textbook. “I feel like a lot of people buy textbooks when they only need to read a few chapters at a time and they don’t know you can you just check them out from the Annex,” Niazi said. Get It For Me Evans Library seems to have everything, but if you cannot find what you need, they can get it for you. Through “Get It For Me,”

students can request any book or journal they want, and if the library doesn’t have it, they will borrow it from another university’s library. Just access it through the library’s website, fill out a form and you’re all set. Remember, books borrowed from other libraries may be due sooner than books from A&M’s. Find My Librarian Patrick Zinn, the library system’s director of marketing and communications, said he thinks the most underutilized service the library provides is access to specialized librarians. “I think that’s the one service that is not utilized as much as possible, access to people who can help them research, especially our subject specialists,” Zinn said. The library system employs dozens of specialists, each specializing in specific fields such as copyright, gender studies and accounting, among others. “They’re able to provide incredibly focused research and basically help students understand which resources are most valuable,” Zinn said. To find your librarian, use the “Find My Librarian” feature through the library system’s website. Kanopy Streaming One of the coolest and most obscure services that the library provides is access to Kanopy Streaming. Kanopy can be most easily described as a Netflix for universities. On Kanopy, you can browse a variety of media, including foreign films from festivals all over the world, obscure documentaries and a host of instructional videos. Some of the highlights include a bevy of the Criterion Collection’s classic films, art films and Ken Burns’ PBS documentaries on American history. Study Room Reservations Study rooms are available for reservations in Evans Library, the Annex, the West Campus Library and the Medical Sciences Library. Whether you want an individual room, windowless and free from distraction, or a conference room for working on a group project, the library system has you covered. All you have to do is go online to the “Study Spac-

es” section of the library’s website and select a room. University Writing Center The University Writing Center is the go-to resource for help on anything writing related. If you need help writing a research paper, formatting a resume or rehearsing a group presentation, you can count on the writing center to help you out. Now located on the first floor of Evans Library, the writing center is more accessible than ever. Appointments can be made at writingcenter.tamu.edu. Animal science junior Misty Martin said that she has used the University Writing Center for Animal Science Reproduction research papers. “Everyone was extremely welcoming and friendly,” Martin said. “The student who helped me was very understanding and helpful.”

Bike Desks There are bike desks in the library that were installed last month. With these desks, students can now increase productivity by exercising while they study. These can be found at Evans, the West Campus Library and the Medical Sciences Library. Whether you’re looking for a book, perfecting a resume or needing a safe haven from a tiring day, the A&M library system provides services to effectively serve students in all of their academic endeavors.

Experts on Iraqi politics discuss its stability, the role of the U.S., and the defeat of ISIS. Former Ambassador Crocker says U.S. can serve as mediating presence in the country.

Bush School hosts panel discussion of American relations with Iraq By Emmy Bost & Joanne Tan @EmmyBost

WE DELIVER! VISIT JIMMYJOHNS.COM TO FIND A LOCATION NEAR YOU

The Bush School hosted the panel discussion “The Future of Iraq: Stability, US Role, and the Defeat of ISIS” on Sept. 5 in the Annenberg Presidential Conference Center. The event began at 4:30 p.m. followed by a panel discussion at 6 p.m. that examined the future of Iraq and American policy towards Iraq, focusing on the recently issued Atlantic Council Task Force report on Iraq. The Atlantic Council’s Task Force, chaired by former Ambassador Ryan Crocker, aimed to pinpoint ways to support the Iraqis in stabilizing their state, repairing their war-torn areas and establishing a more stable country, according to the Atlantic Council website. The event began with discussion among former Iraqi Ambassador to the United States Lukman Faily, foreign affairs columnist for The Philadelphia Inquirer Trudy Rubin, and Senior Director at BCG’s Center for Energy Impact Raad Alkadiri. Each panelist applied their years of experience and knowledge surrounding the Middle East to questions posed by Greg Gause, head of the International Affairs Department at the Bush School and the discussion’s mediator. Questions were raised over issues such as the Shia-Sunni conflict, political foundation of the country and the social identity of its citizens. “We’re at a turning point, it seems to me, in the fight against ISIS,” Gause said. “The fight against the territorial state that ISIS was trying to establish seems to be coming to an end. But it seems to me that for the past two and a half years, the Iraqi politics in many

ways has been on hold. And I just wonder, what has been put on hold in Iraq, and what is going to be on the agenda once the ISIS issue is over?” Discussions involving the politics surrounding the resistance of ISIS, the dynamics of Iraqi politics and U.S.-Iraq relations were important for students to be exposed to because the United States has great interest in Iraq, according to Gause. “Iraq is a place where the United States has an enormous investment. Not just the investment we made during the 2000s when we fought a full-scale war there. But there are American troops, American airmen and American personnel still in Iraq, helping to fight ISIS and that’s going well,” Gause said. Following their group discussion, Crocker, career ambassador within the U.S. Foreign Service, offered his impressions on the panel discussion using his 37 years of experience as U.S. Ambassador to Syria, Iraq, Pakistan, Kuwait, Afghanistan and Lebanon. The Obama and Trump Administration broached the Islamic State as purely a military problem, according to Crocker. However, regarding the United States’ presence in Iraq, Crocker said the U.S. has the potential to serve the purpose of ‘mediator’ between conflicting military, idealistic and religious groups. What happens in Iraq is fundamental to American national security, Crocker said. “I think the key question to the Iraqis is what format do they want their state to be in, once they resolve the internal politics issue,” former Iraqi Ambassador to the U.S. Lukman Faily said. “And in fact, we have not had closure for many important issues. So at this point, the challenges we have are preventing us from having any long term planning, because we have expectations from international countries to help us with the better environment and better management.”
