junior Chris Cornelius and senior Paul Gomez. Cornelius went 2-for-5 with an RBI and Gomez went 2-for-3 with an RBI. A&M started freshman left-handed pitcher Joseph Menefee, who has been a reliever all year. Menefee threw 3.1 innings, giving up two earned runs on three hits and striking out four Tigers. The Aggie bullpen was lights out as sophomore Bryce Miller, freshman Chris Weber and sophomore Kasey Kalich combined for 6.2 shutout innings, giving up just six hits and striking out nine. “We’re not satisfied,” Weber said.
On Saturday, thousands of students gathered in front of Kyle Field to kickoff the largest one-day, student-run service project in the nation— The Big Event. Founded in 1982, The Big Event has helped thousands in the Bryan-College Station community and has inspired other universities to create a Big Event of their own. This year’s Big Event in Aggieland included around 19,000 student volunteers. Speakers at the kickoff ceremony included University President Michael Young and guest speaker John B. Zachry, Class of 1984 and namesake of the Zachry Engineering Education Complex. “I can’t begin to tell you how exciting and uplifting it is for me to be here at the start of this very special event and this incredible display of gratitude and caring,” Zachry said. “Frankly, just to see thousands of college students awake and alert on a Saturday morning is a pretty strong signal that something unusual and amazing is about to happen. But that something amazing is about to happen at Texas A&M should come to no surprise to anyone who knows anything about this very special place.” Reese Svetgoff, business honors senior and director of The Big Event, said he wants residents in the community to know A&M students care about them, which he believes

Aggies’ series with Mizzou ends on tie due to travel restrictions By Grant Spika @GrantSpika
Sophomore Aaron Walters stepped up to the plate in the bottom of the fourth inning with the bases loaded and hit a high popup that stayed in the infield. The Tigers couldn’t communicate as the ball was dropped, allowing two runs for the Aggies. Those runs would be the difference in a game that ended in a 2-2 tie after the 10th inning due to travel restric-
tions. The tie is the first for both teams, as A&M now sits at 23-6-1 (6-2-1 SEC) while Missouri goes to 18-10-1 (3-5-1 SEC). The pitching for both teams was the difference as Missouri junior starter TJ Sikkema went seven innings, giving up no earned runs on just five hits. Sophomore Konnor Ash replaced Sikkema on the mound, throwing three shutout innings and giving up one hit. “Sikkema’s one of my favorite pitchers in the league,” A&M head coach Rob Childress said. “He’s very competitive ... He’s fearless and did a really nice job. We were very fortunate to score.” At the plate, Missouri was led by

‘Aggies Matter, Period’ Students look to bring free pads, tampons to campus bathrooms By Camryn Lang @CamrynLang
PROVIDED
Student senate is implementing a pilot program which will put a dispenser with free pads and tampons in bathrooms on campus.
To assess and address the need for free menstrual products at Texas A&M, the Student Senate’s Student Services Committee is launching a pilot program and petitioning the university for further support. A recent resolution passed by the Student Senate has generated the “Aggies Matter, Period.” program, which will determine student demand for free menstrual products in university bathrooms. The pilot program involves in-
stalling pad and tampon dispensers in the bathrooms of high-traffic campus areas such as the Memorial Student Center, Evans Library, West Campus Library, the Commons, the psychology building, Blocker, Langford and Wehner. Student Services Committee Chair Ashali Chimata said they will also be keeping sustainability in mind by using plastic-free cotton pads and tampons. The pilot program is awaiting fund, but will be implemented in the near future. Through the Student Services Committee, Chimata has started a petition to the Texas A&M administration to show student support for the “Aggies Matter, Period.” project and aims to reach 1,500 signatures. Chi-
mata said the program is addressing insecurity around menstrual products and the danger that a lack of pads and tampons poses to health. “It is a public health concern,” Chimata said. “Especially given the amount of food insecurity that we have here on campus, it is not crazy to believe that people would be pad and tampon insecure and would be less likely to access medical care. What people don’t realize is that lack of pads and tampons can result in life threatening conditions such as bacterial vaginosis, toxic shock syndrome and urinary tract infection.” Recreation, park and tourism sciences sophomore Julia Reggio said if PRODUCTS ON PG. 3
Sexual Assault Awareness in April Health campaign highlights A&M’s campus resources By Camryn Lang @CamrynLang Texas A&M is promoting Sexual Assault Awareness on campus with the Say Howdy to Health campaign’s support. The Say Howdy to Health campaign will turn its focus to sexual assault awareness in April by promoting events from organizations like Step In. Stand Up. that will advertise campus resources and encourage students
to learn how to support those affected by sexual misconduct and harassment. According to Student Body President Amy Sharp, students have to take advantage of the education offered because it will be up to them to step in when situations arise. “As students, we have the power to protect each other and prevent things like [sexual assault] from happening,” Sharp said. “We are uniquely qualified to do that as opposed to administrators, faculty and staff that help with education. We’re the ones that are there in these scenarios
when things happen a lot of the time. If we are getting educated and also have the courage to intervene in these situations, we could help prevent a lot from happening.” Taylor Tyson, interpersonal violence prevention specialist in the Office of Health Promotion, said participating in April’s events will ultimately serve survivors. “A lot of the times when folks experience trauma, you start to feel alone, isolated; like ‘I’m the only one that has had to go through this’ or ‘nobody really cares,’” Tyson said. “There can AWARENESS ON PG. 4

End of the road Aggies fall to Notre Dame in Chicago, ending season and NCAA tourney run By Brian Bass @brianbass4 Arike Ogunbowale and Jessica Shepard scored a combined 58 points for No. 1 Notre Dame to edge out No. 4 Texas A&M 87-80 in the Sweet Sixteen Saturday afternoon. The top-seeded Irish (33-3, 14-2 ACC) needed all the help they could get to defend A&M guard Chennedy Carter, who led the Aggies with 35 points. “If [Carter] doesn’t make State Farm All-American this year, something’s doggone wrong,” A&M head coach Gary Blair said. “Why does she have to wait to become a junior or a senior just because it’s very quality at the top? If she’s earned it, and she has, and she’s done it for two straight years, this is a kid that needs to be All-American this year.” The Aggies (26-8, 12-4 SEC) also relied on an 18-point game from guard Kayla Wells and a 12-point, 12-rebound game from center Ciera Johnson to stay competitive. Neither team led by more than three points in the first quarter, with Carter putting up a pair of three-point shots and a layup to lead the Aggies in the opening minutes. Trailing the Irish by three after the first quarter, the Aggies had their biggest offensive quarter in the second. A&M worked the paint, hitting eight of its 11 shots under the basket — enough to tie up the game at 42 going into halftime. After the half, Notre Dame found its stride early in the third, pulling away for an eightpoint lead just over three minutes into the second half. However, thanks to a jumper and two three-pointers from Carter and Wells, the Aggies brought it back to a one-possession
game for the rest of the quarter. The Irish and the Aggies went back and forth, trading baskets for the first few minutes of the fourth quarter until Ogunbowale hit a three and a layup. Jackie Young followed with a mid-range jump shot to make it a seven-point game with 4:13 left. Notre Dame took control of the game after the four minute mark and didn’t allow A&M to get back within a one-possession game, ending the Aggies season in Chicago. Notre Dame’s efficiency from the field kept the Irish dancing, shooting 52 percent from the floor and never shooting below 50 percent in any given quarter. The team was also 13-of-15 from the free throw line. “Their transition is very good,” Johnson said. “All the guards can pretty much shoot it, so they’re able to spread the floor and break you down. They run so many screens, and it’s hard to defend. They’re a very good offensive team, and they have some good sets and some good plays that they run.” Shepard had a double-double with 24 points and 14 rebounds. Notre Dame had two other players in double digits, with Young and forward Brianna Turner registering 14 and 12 points, respectively. The Aggies end the season with a 26-8 overall record, recording a 12-4 record and third-place finish in SEC play. The team looks to return 96 percent of its points next season, along with 94 percent of the team’s rebounds. “I was so proud of the way we fought tonight,” Carter said. “We fought for four quarters and we left it all out on the court. Some of them were disappointed, but I was proud of my teammates. I mean we competed. We’re young and we’re growing, so I just told them, ‘Hey, we’re going to be better next year, and we’ll be back and make a statement again.’” Carter finished the game 13-of-34 from the floor, which included a 7-of-12 performance from beyond the arc.

Taming the Cougars Softball sweeps BYU in two-game weekend series at Davis Diamond By Judge Gwyn @gwynjudge
Kaylee Cogbill — THE BATTALION
Junior Kendall Potts struck out three batters and only allowed three hits in 7.0 innings.
BASEBALL CONTINUED “Kasey did a great job of keeping them at two runs at the end of the game, but we’re hungry for more and we’re ready for next week.” At the plate, A&M was led by Jonathan Ducoff, who went 2-for-4. The Aggies had six hits from five players and drew two walks. “I’ll take it over a loss,” Ducoff said. “It doesn’t feel good.
It was a cold and windy afternoon as the Aggies began their second game against Brigham Young University. A late rally gave Texas A&M (22-13) the series sweep over Cougars (13-18) on Saturday in College Station, as they beat BYU 4-0. The second started out slow offensively for both squads, as A&M pitcher Kendall Potts (9-5) and BYU starting pitcher Autumn Moffat (6-10) were able to contain batters for the majority of the game. Both teams were able to get runners on base through the first five innings. But each squad left much to be desired, as they were unable to capitalize with runners on base for much of the day. Leading the charge offensively was first-baseman Payton McBride. McBride went 2-for-2 with two singles, one run scored and was intentionally walked. A&M was able to find a spark late in game, mustering eight hits in the last three innings. Freshman Baylee Klingler’s double to right-field began the four-run rally in the bottom of the sixth inning. The third baseman scored two batters later after a sacrifice bunt by Riley Sartain turned into an error by Moffat. Freshman Haley Lee extended the lead to 2-0 after a single to right-field brought
We wanted to close that game out and we weren’t able to do it. Pitching and defense was great again today, and that’s always going to keep us in games. We just have to execute offensively with the opportunities we get.” A&M entered game three of the series after back-to-back nail-biters. On Saturday, the Aggies and Tigers engaged in a 15-inning affair which ended after the Aggies were unable to drive in the tying run — which was standing on third — to send the game into the 16th inning. A&M fell to the Tigers

McBride home from third. The inning continued after Sartain was able to score off of a sacrifice fly by sophomore Dani Elder. The Aggies ended the sixth-inning with a 4-0 lead after freshman Kayla Garcia hit a single to drive in pinch-runner Ashlynn Walls. “I think it was really just our intensity, Klingler said.” We know we can come from behind. We know that we can score runs.” Klinger said. “I think it’s really just initiating that fight.” A&M was efficient in all phases of the game, as the team came out of the day with no errors defensively. A&M pitchers gave up three hits and a walk with no run, to shut out BYU. Offensively, the Aggies produced nine-hits and four-runs, ending with a .375 average collectively. The Aggies have a 2-7 record in conference play. They have been able to capitalize off a win last Sunday over the No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide. A&M came into this weekend after a double-header sweep against Sam Houston State Wednesday in College Station. The Aggies will look to build off this past week as they gear up for the bulk of their SEC schedule. “I think we’re playing with more confidence,” A&M head Coach Jo Evans said. “I’m pleased right now with our mentality.” Texas A&M will be back in action Tuesday as they take on the Tigers. The first game of the double-header will began at 4 p.m., with the final contest following around 6 p.m. The games will be broadcast on the SEC Network+.

@thecolefowler
ith Disney’s recent acquisition of 20th Century Fox, they have solidified their corporate influence over America’s pop culture. With this control, they continue to prove they have no problem with recycling old content to sedate their audiences into monetary submission. While creating “live-action” animated remakes may not seem like a hindrance to the film industry, Tim Burton’s “Dumbo” spits in the face of its nostalgia-craving audience with its unironic representation of Disney’s corporate domination within Hollywood. The popularity and general positive feelings in pop culture toward the original “Dumbo” have always been troubling. The 1941 version of the film is one of the main indicators of Walt Disney’s and Hollywood’s underlying racism. The film features a crow named Jim voiced by white-actor Cliff Edwards. This overt allusion to the Jim Crow laws and minstrel shows, both of which existed when the original film was produced, is an impossible issue to ignore when viewing the film today. So this remake serves as a mechanism for Disney to cover up their racist past with a glossed over big-budget film that never acknowledges the original issue. Although the severity of the racist undertones of the original certainly should prevent the film from achieving its top-tier pop culture
status, it still resonates with adults and children alike as a heartwarming tale of accepting one’s differences in the face of ridicule. While individuality is obviously an important quality for all ages, the circumstances of the film’s remake veil the message of the original film. While Tim Burton’s signature Gothic-steampunk style is an aesthetically pleasing addition to the narrative, the underlying message shifted away from individuality and toward a dissection of the effects of corporate influence over creativity. Obviously, the not-so subtle irony slaps the audience in the face throughout the run time in many aspects. First, the influence of washed up director Burton is directly representative of Disney’s pseudo-support of creativity. Burton, whose early career was an adrenaline shot of creativity to the heart of Hollywood, has wilted away from his former self since the 2000s. The name “Tim Burton” used to be an indication of creativity but now represents one of many Hollywood directors used as an apparatus to capture audiences’ money. Second, and similar to Burton, Disney’s influence used to be associated with creativity and originality. However, as evident in their constant onslaught of sequels in their Marvel, Pixar and Lucasfilm franchises, they have clearly lost their ability to critique the influence of corporate-produced “art.” “Dumbo” is a sloppy combination of two parties who have substituted the artistic expression of film for an assembly line of money-print-
Schneider is providing administrative support and aid to the Student Services Committee in the logistics of the program. According to Schnieder, the pilot will provide the data needed to see if the program can efficiently fulfill the needs of students. “We are supposed to be offering a service and students are our customers,” Schneider said. “If there is a need for [the program], we need to identify that and the associated cost. I think it’s a great idea if we can offer that, and the costs aren’t prohibitive.” The dispensers will be accompanied by QR codes that, when scanned, pull up a survey that includes questions about
ing remakes and sequels. However, the production and existence of the film prove more worrisome than the film itself. Without the consideration of its influences, “Dumbo” is an uninspired clutter of famous actors in unnecessary roles talking to “life-like” animated animals. The only aspect of the film which garnered any engagement was the odd cameo of German actor Lars Eidinger. Most famous in the United States for his work with Olivier Assayas and his contribution as a jury member at the 2016 Berlinale, Eidinger has a small and completely insignificant role in this film. With an actor of his prowess, it is odd to see him in such a minor role within a dreadful film. The film’s ultimate goal was always to cash in on the nostalgia of the original film, but “Dumbo” refuses to face, or even acknowledge, its racist history and does so while trying to convey an anti-corporate message. Disney certainly has no ground to make critiques of the current model of monetarily driven “art,” and they chose a director who is the best example of Hollywood corruption. Disney will continue to shove Marvel and Pixar sequels down its audience’s throat until its revenue stream runs dry. As shown in recent box office numbers of the Marvel films, Disney is showing no signs of stopping their domination of the American film industry.

troduction to The Big Event is part of what inspired her to serve on Big Event staff for three years. “The Big Day is why I got involved in The Big Event at A&M and is the reason why I wanted to come here,” Murphy said. “The reason I have encountered this organization and have been so challenged and impacted by it is because of how far-reaching it is, and it reached me all the way in Houston, Texas, at my high school when I was a junior.” Murphy said The Big Event continues to be important beyond the physical services such as spreading mulch and painting homes.
“I think that ultimately when I think about The Big Event and its impact, I think about the impact of relationships,” Murphy said. “Everyone can speak to a moment and experience meeting someone that impacted their life, and I think that is the core of what the Big Event is and what it strives to achieve: build relationships and create impactful experiences.” Betty Hanks, Class of 1969, owns the Big Top Learning Center and has invited Big Event volunteers to the daycare for the last decade to complete tasks including washing windows and pulling weeds.
“The Big Event has really been a great help to the Big Top, not only to the center but the families we serve,” Hanks said. “By the work they do, I am able to offset some of the cost of daily operations, provide more materials and pass the savings on to our families.” Political science freshman Kylie Gregory participated in The Big Event for the first time on Saturday and said volunteering is what being an Aggie is all about. “I think to be an Aggie is to serve others well,” Gregory said. “That’s what we’re doing — we are giving back to a community that gives back to us.”
depression, which are very common side effects of experiencing sexual assault. We also offer individual, short-term counseling. This is probably where we see the most survivors, and that’s because, given what they have experienced, it’s usually very difficult to talk about it.” Denise Crisafi, Office of Health Promotion’s coordinator for interpersonal violence and prevention, said it’s important for student survivors to see fellow Aggies support the Step In. Stand Up. and other initiatives provide. “It can be really frightening sometimes to feel like you’re alone and that no one cares, no one wants to listen,” Crisafi said. “But I think
this brings awareness to the idea that Texas A&M says that we acknowledge that this is an issue that’s affecting individuals in our campus, in Bryan-College Station, and even in whatever you define your community as.” Interested students can take part through several outlets. A book display will be installed in campus libraries to share stories of sexual assault survivors, and a special edition of the Texas A&M Health Talk podcast will launch on April 2, allowing listeners to hear from a sexual assault nurse examiner and a volunteer advocate. On April 6, the Sexual Assault Resource Center is offering a self-defense class, and the University Police Department will
hold their own class for faculty, staff and students on April 17. Other trainings include the Green Dot Bystander Intervention Training on April 10 and the STAND Up workshop on April 24 that will focus on teaching participants how to have helpful conversations with those who have experienced a traumatic event. Students can also show support at the Teal Out A&M baseball game on April 23 and softball game on April 27.
