Students surprise prof who lost his Aggie Ring in a house fire with replacement ring on his 79th birthday By Savannah Mehrtens @SJMehrtens

n Sunday afternoon, Arnold LeUnes’ was enjoying a celebratory 79th birthday meal with his family at Willie’s Grill and Icehouse when two of his students surprised him with a Class of 1960 Aggie Ring. Shaking out of excitement, he kindly accepted the ring and thanked his students, Sophie Roberts and Jacqueline Gutierrez, over roaring applause. It was 34 years ago when Arnold LeUnes lost his original Aggie Ring to a house fire caused by a gas unit in the ceiling. His six children and wife, Judy, are his most important concern, so he had

never purchased a replacement ring during their upbringing. Sophie Roberts, kinesiology junior, heard this story on the first day of his abnormal psychology class last semester and felt compelled to start a GoFundMe campaign that October to raise money to buy him a replacement ring. “It’s exciting; I haven’t had a ring for 34 or 35 years,” LeUnes said. Roberts said although LeUnes is a reserved man by nature, she could tell he was pleased with the surprise reveal. “He’s kind of quiet,” Roberts said. “I think he is very happy … I feel like getting it replaced by students who love and adore you is more special than when he probably got it the first time.” One table over from the LeUnes family, a group of students was finishing their meals at the time of the ring reveal.

Bringing the Aggie Spirit to New York City Largest out-of-state alumni group seeks to recruit, help Aggies who are interested in moving to New York By Josh McCormack @_joshmccormack

Andy Ellwood and Ashley Powell have taken over New York Aggies club, helping it grow in numbers and resources.

Andy Ellwood took the New Jersey Turnpike into the largest city in America to begin what he describes as his new calling. Hoping to meet like-minded people, he found New York Aggies, the largest alumni group outside of the state of Texas. But Ellwood discovered a lack of the familial spirit he experienced in College Station. From that point on, Ellwood, Class of 2004, start-up entrepreneur and president of the New York Aggies, has worked to take the reins of the organization and spread the word of the Aggie family in the Big Apple. The New York Aggies’ focus lies in three main areas: To convince students that New York City is a viable option for work and life, getting talented students from the North East to A&M and fostering an Aggie family who do things together in NYC.

AGGIES HOLD LOCAL MARCH FOR SCIENCE By Mikayla Andrade @MikaylaAndrade Aggies of all varieties flocked to campus Saturday to show their support for science in their everyday lives as part of a nationwide march had which movements in dozens of cities across the country. Hosted by the Aggies in Science Technology and Engineering Policy, or A-STEP, “March for Science” was a campus event that aimed to defend how science impacts health, safety, economy and government. The event kicked off with a march around Simpson Drill Field before transitioning into science demonstrations and a “Meet a Scientist,” session. Ryan Payne, geophysics graduate student and march organizer, said there is always room to learn more about science, so he urges people to start a conversation with scientists. “Science is really important for a lot of problems we’re facing today,” Payne said. “But it seems to be getting cut more and more out of the conversation, so I think the whole point of the March for Science is that people, who are scientist and care about science, are saying we need to consider this more carefully.” Among the attendees of the march were a few A&M alumni, like Sara Carney from the Class of 2013, Gina Wadas from the Class of 2015, Jessica Scarfuto from the Class of 2014, and Norman Guniasso, Class of 1975. Carney said she believes now is a particularly MARCH ON PG. 2

Texas House Bill 2899 would prohibit antidiscrimination laws in local government, including the addition of same sex bathrooms to accommodate those who identify as transgender.

Texas House Bill 2899 fate undetermined State legislature remains at impasse on controversial states’ rights bill By Luke Henkhaus @Luke_Henkhaus Following hours of public testimony extending into the early morning hours of April 20, Texas House Bill 2899 was ultimately left pending by the Texas House Committee on State Affairs. Although the language of the bill is subject to change, it currently aims to prohibit local governments from enacting measures dealing with protection from discrimination, ensuring that control of such measures is concentrated in the hands of the state government. City and school policies ensuring that transgender Texans are allowed to use the bathroom matching their gender identity would fall squarely within the range of prohibited measures, making bathroom policy a major point of discussion during the committee’s hearing. The bill has been presented as an alternative to Texas Senate Bill 6, which, in addition to containing restrictions on local ordinances related specifically to bathrooms, would also require people to use the bathroom corresponding with the sex on their birth certificates in government buildings. “[House Bill 2899] addresses a majority of Texans’ concerns as they relate to our most intimate public places,” said the bill’s author, Rep. Ron Simmons. “It does not prohibit a statewide nondiscrimination policy. What we’re saying is that this needs to be handled at the state level.” Some Texans expressed opposition to the bill, citing concerns about the elimination of existing local regulations which currently BILL ON PG. 4

LEUNES CONTINUED health junior, were both emotionally affected by the surprise. “I definitely teared up, I got a little emotional,” Eichhorn said. “That’s the power of the Aggie family. It’s crazy to see, it’s something you can’t replicate, it’s just a feeling you have. You see something like that, and it’s amazing.” Wiegand shared these sentiments. She said the weekend had been filled with overwhelming Aggie spirit from Friday’s Muster Ceremony and the Aggie Ring reveal she witnessed. “I just think it’s a beautiful thing that obviously he made such an impact on these two students’ lives that they would go out of their way to raise the funds to replace that Aggie Ring,” Wiegand said. “They said that he gave 51 years of service to Texas A&M and I just think that’s amazing. It’s just something that you would ever see happen anywhere else, and that’s just a part of the reason that makes Texas A&M so special.” To plan the reveal, Roberts reached out to LeUnes’ wife, Judy. She gave Roberts a zip tie to measure his ring size, which she then took to James Avery for an estimate. They had originally planned to give him the ring in December, but after medical complications in the family, the two decided on his birthday celebration. “Sophie called, and I didn’t know her, and she said, ‘We want to raise money, is this okay?’” Judy LeUnes said. “What I think is so wonderful, to them, that was the greatest compliment that they could give him — an Aggie Ring that he had lost, because they cared so much about him.” Judy said it was touching to see the importance of the Aggie family come to life during this experience. “For that to be that important to these kids, really touched me,” Judy LeUnes said. “Once an Aggie, always an Aggie. I’m just real excited; now he’ll probably have the shiniest Class of ‘60 Aggie Ring ever.” After LeUnes’ 51 years of teaching at the university, Gutierrez said it felt like giving him a ring was the right thing to do. “It really was the Aggie responsibility — just to pay for all the years of service he has given our campus,” Gutierrez said. LeUnes’ large family knew about the surprise and worked to keep the secret until the reveal. His son, Chay LeUnes, traveled from Cypress and was glad to see his Dad receive his Aggie Ring.

A&M professor Arnold LeUnes was surprised by students with an Aggie Ring Sunday to replace the one he lost to a house fire.

“Well he’s 79; it’s about time he got his Aggie Ring back,” Chay said. “He was delighted, so I was too. That was great to see — I mean, the smile on his face was awesome.” Over the years of being a professor, LeUnes has created a memoir of the students who have impacted his life. “The kids have been wonderful,” LeUnes said. “I’ve written a 1,000page memoir about my years at A&M and I have a tribute of 1,000 students from 1966 to today, who I consider huge parts of my life … You could not be treated better by the students than I have been.”

important time to support science. “I think we are living in an age of alternative facts and where the truth gets muddied,” Carney said. “So it’s really important for people to stand up for science and say the facts are important.” Ariana Shakory, a second-year veterinary student, said she feels facts and opinions are getting interchanged with one another, so marches like this are important because they can contribute to a true conversation based on fact. “I don’t think that science is partisan in any way and I think we should be looking at fact and evidence and going

with that,” Shakory said. Geology freshman Liam Norris said science means a lot of things to different people. “Science is more than people know it is — you know there are obvious benefits like medicine, things like that, things that obviously help people,” Norris said. “And then there’s just the cool fact of learning about the Earth and what we’re doing here.” Matthew Lee, one of the volunteers at the science demonstration table, said he thinks science can be fun for everyone. Cathie McQuistion, one of the marchers and an Evans Library employee, said she was a strong supporter of the march.

“I think it’s important that right now we all stand up and support the things we believe in and I believe that science and scientific discovery is one of the most important things we can support right now,” McQuistion said. Abdullah Bajwa, mechanical engineering graduate student and an organizer for the march, feels like the march was successful in its mission. “At times we feel like there is a distance between the scientific community and the general public,” Bajwa said. “We want to bridge that gap and we want to tell people that scientist and engineers we are just regular people like them and they can reach out to us, we can have a conversation.”

NYC AGGIES CONTINUED “Yes, New York is different and it is a challenge, but there is a huge support network,” Ellwood said. “People have found their roommates, people to go to shows with and people to work out with. People find others to do social activities with outside of the club.” Ashley Powell, New York Aggies executive vice president, marketing analyst at Cerberus Capital Management and Class of 2011, said the club’s growth has skyrocketed in the past two years. At this year’s New York Aggie Muster A&M football head coach Kevin Sumlin was the Muster Speaker and more than 300 people attended. “The Aggie Network is a family, and we have a great one, but now we are trying to get the rest of them. There are 3,500 Aggies who live in the Tri-State area and [we want] to get more of them,” Powell said. “[Muster] went off without a hitch, which was great. But what was really great was so many people came up to us and said, ‘Thank you.’ They said this was incredible.” New York Aggies gives away three different scholarships to incoming students who are from New York, New Jersey or Connecticut, commonly referred to as the Tri-State area. Ellwood said they make sure to keep in touch with students who move to Texas, helping them to adjust to the Aggie way of life in anyway they can, Ellwood said. “Our club is doing our best to recruit the best students to come to A&M,” Ellwood said. “We work with the foundation and our club to make that happen.” A large part of the New York Aggies’ success

BATHROOM BILL CONTINUED protect the rights of transgender Texans to use the bathroom matching their gender identity in some schools and cities across Texas. “My recommendation is to continue to allow local governments to fill the gap, to allow those protections for these folks as they have been doing up until this point and not to stand in the way of those protections until the state of Texas is prepared to provide them,” said Glen Hilton, licensed professional counselor from Houston, during his testimony. Texas Senate Bill 6 passed the Texas Senate on March 14 and has not yet been assigned to a committee in the Texas House of Representatives. While prohibition or invalidation of local ordinances is included in both bills, SB 6 is more narrowly focused on bathrooms and includes regulations on bathroom use in government buildings — including public universities — that would require each person to use the bathroom corresponding to their “biological sex,” or the sex that is printed on their official birth certificate. Facing opposition from Speaker of the Texas House Joe Straus and a majority of

is attributed the Association of Former Students, Powell said. The Association offers help to all of the alumni clubs to connect their group to College Station. They have an ever-growing group of alumni who are looking to get involved with their fellow Ags who are now living across the country. Ellwood said at this past season’s Alabama game, their watch party had close to 300 in attendance, and they had to host the game at two bars. Looking forward, Powell and Ellwood hope to outgrow Texas alumni clubs to become the place where Aggies looking for jobs go to continue being actively part of the Aggie family. They are currently working to create a job support board and have more than 40 events planned for 2017. “Our biggest priority this year are outreach. How do we get a hold of the people that don’t know we exist or know that we exist but don’t know that we are doing things?” Powell said. “[We want] to have so many things on our schedule so no one can possibly come to all of them.” With all the New York Aggies are doing, the main goal is to make the dream of living in New York City a reality Ellwood said. Ellwood was invited to speak at this year’s TEDxTAMU. He and Powell will be tabling in Rudder Plaza Monday April 24 to advocate for New York Aggies and will be selling T-shirts for $10. “I’ve always known people who were like, ‘I’ve always wanted to go to New York but that’s just unrealistic,’” Ellwood said. “You know what? Right after graduation is the best time to [move to New York]. You are lean and mean and you can find a spot in this city.”

other representatives in the House, SB 6 will likely be stalled indefinitely, according to Lecturer in the Department of Political Science Dwight Roblyer. “At this point, with Straus firmly in control — and he’s got the strong majority of the republicans on his side as well as the democrats on his side when it comes to this — weirder things have happened, but I would give SB 6 a very slim chance of seeing the light of day in the House,” Roblyer said. April 18, one day before Wednesday’s House Committee hearing, Governor Greg Abbott expressed approval of the Texas legislature’s recent efforts in this particular area and signaled support for HB 2899. “I applaud the House and Senate for tackling an issue that is of growing concern to parents and communities across Texas who are now looking to the Legislature for solutions,” Abbott said in a statement to The Texas Tribune. “Rep. Simmons is offering a thoughtful proposal to make sure our children maintain privacy in our school bathrooms and locker rooms.” However, instructional assistant professor of political science Brittany Perry said the regulations proposed by bills like SB 6 and HB

2899 may be a solution looking for a problem. “It just doesn’t make sense when you look at the data,” Perry said. “We have states that have protections for transgender individuals to use the bathrooms of their choice and in all of these 19 states we have seen no evidence whatsoever that these protections lead to any sort of increased public safety risk.” Rather than presenting any kind of danger, transgender people are actually more likely to be the victims of violence and harassment in bathrooms, Perry said. “The data is very clear that the people who face the most risk in public bathrooms are transgender individuals,” Perry said. “In one study of 27,000 individuals it was found that 1 in 8 transgender adults said they had been harassed, attacked or sexually assaulted in bathrooms.” In addition to concerns over discrimination, the potential economic impact of bathroom legislation has been a major point of discussion in Texas as well as in North Carolina. According to the Texas Association of Business (TAB)’s statement on March 30, North Carolina saw economic fallout to the tune of $3.76 billion in losses after House Bill 2 — similar in scope to Texas’s HB 6 — was passed.

In the face of this economic pressure, North Carolina ultimately opted for a partial repeal of HB 2, softening bathroom restrictions, but placing a three year moratorium on local ordinances that would regulate private employment practices or public accommodations. “It remains to be seen whether the enactment of [the partial repeal] in North Carolina will solve the economic woes brought on by HB 2,” TAB said. “That’s why the Texas business community has made clear that discriminatory laws have no place in Texas in the first place. This kind of legislation is risky business.” Potential economic woes aside, Chase Brunson, sport management senior and President of Texas A&M’s transgender student group Transcend, said he opposes legislation that would create unnecessary obstacles for the transgender population. “Transgender people already have enough struggles to worry about in their personal lives,” Brunson said. “Going through transition is a really hard thing, it’s a really big thing, it’s a really expensive thing. They don’t need the extra stress of walking into a bathroom.”
