Parents of sons who died due to hazing spoke at “Love, Mom & Dad,” a traveling panel that discusses the consequences of the behavior.
‘Love, Mom & Dad’ Parents who have lost children due to hazing share their personal stories By Megan Sheffield @mshef350 Rudder Auditorium was silent Tuesday night as parents of students who died due to hazing shared their stories and spread awareness about warning signs. “Love, Mom and Dad” is a presentation that has traveled to several universities across the country to discourage the practice of
hazing by sharing stories about the serious consequences of the behavior. During presentations at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., about 2,800 attendees had the chance to anonymously ask questions and write personal notes to the parents. Jim and Evelyn Piazza, Rich Braham, Steven Gruver and Debbie Debrick each described their personal experiences and shared pictures of their children. The Piazzas lost their son Tim when he fell down the stairs after being forced to drink alcohol at a Beta Theta Pi pledge event at Penn State University in February of 2017. Evelyn Piazza asked the audience to imagine if their
sibling had faced the same situation. “You get a call from your brother’s roommate saying that he didn’t come home last night, and that’s not like him,” Piazza said. “You decide that something’s wrong and call the hospital to see if he’s there. You rush to the hospital to see your brother on life support, bruises and blood on his body and head. The doctor tells you, ‘It’s bad.’” The group created the Anti-Hazing Coalition to form alliances with national fraternity, sorority and associated organizations in order to change legislation and develop ANTI-HAZING ON PG. 2

Aggies picking up the pace
A&M looks to maintain momentum as it heads into matchup with UAB By Hannah Underwood @hannahunderwood
After a big 38-24 win over Southeastern Conference opponent Ole Miss, Texas A&M is turning its attention to the University of Alabama-Birmingham. The Blazers — ranked No. 1 in Conference USA — pose a surprising non-conference challenge for the Aggies as they bring a dominant defense into Kyle Field on Satur-
day. The UAB defense is ranked first in sacks per game, first in third down conversion defense, third in total defense, fourth in scoring defense and fifth in tackles for loss. A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher compared UAB to playing “another SEC team,” and said that the momentum from last weekend’s win will be important for the Aggies’ success this weekend. “UAB is a great football team,” Fisher said. “We need to build off this last game, get the momentum offensively and defensively and get ready to go play a great game.” UAB is not only dominant on defense, but its offense and special teams units pack a
punch as well, senior running back Kwame Etwi said. “Defensively, they’re great and offensively really good as well,” Etwi said. “They’re on point on special teams as well, their record says it. You can’t take them lightly because they’ve proved that they can play.” The A&M run defense is ranked second in the nation, after holding Ole Miss to just 67 rushing yards on 30 attempts. A&M’s defense is focused on creating more turnovers as senior defensive lineman Kingsley Keke created and recovered the Aggies’ FOOTBALL ON PG. 4
Stan Lee, creator of Spider-Man, died at 95.
Marvelous legacy Reflecting on the incredible career of Marvel comics legend Stan Lee By Ronnie Mata @ronniemata12 On Monday, we lost a mind and a soul that captivated millions if not billions of people. Stan Lee had been at the forefront of the comic book world for over 70 years and was responsible for bringing us classic super heroes such as The Hulk, Iron Man, Doctor Strange and my personal favorite, Spider-Man. Through his gift of storytelling, art direction and sheer sense for the spectacular, Stan Lee created a world where we can escape and flip through fantastic stories that have made so many of us feel truly super. Stan Lee was only a teenager when he was serving as an assistant for Timely Comics in 1933. Filling ink containers, fetching lunch and running other sorts of errands eventually landed him an interim editor gig at 19 years old. Lee served in the Army during World War II as a part of the Signal Corps, repairing telephone poles and other communication equipment. Eventually, he moved into the Training Film division, writing field manuals, cartooning, making training films and creating slogans until the end of the war. Upon his return from the war, Lee would create some of the most iconic characters we know and love, changing comic books forever. He decided that gone were the days of moral, just and perfect superheroes. He saw a demand for reality and humanity in his heroes were gone. The art of characterizing comic book characters is a mainstay for comic books. Since then, we no longer see shining examples of society wearing capes and masks; we have heroes who are flawed, who have homework due the next day, who have their fair share of personal demons — just like us. On top of captivating characters, we were given magnetic storylines that were not your run-of-the-mill, cat-stuck-in-a-tree stories. “Bedlam at the Baxter Building,” “The Night Gwen Stacy Died,” “The Sinister Six” and “Parable” were groundbreaking stories that revitalized the industry and redefined what comic books could be. Stan Lee cared deeply for his audiences. He would often write open correspondences in his comics to his readers about the state of his comics, even asking readers to send their opinions on his works before signing off with his signature phrase, “Excelsior!”; a word that his biggest supporters hold near and dear to their hearts. Stan Lee’s work is also responsible for STAN LEE ON PG. 2
Troops on the southern border Professors weigh in on Trump’s newest border security tactic By Henry Mureithi @HenryMureithi5 Over 5,000 American troops have been deployed to southern Texas, Arizona and California in response to the thousands of Central American migrants and asylum seekers heading for the U.S.-Mexico border. This is in addition to President Donald Trump’s earlier deployment of about 4,000 National Guardsmen to the border in response to another caravan in April. Violence in places such as Honduras and economic hardship like the kind seen in Nicaragua are the main factors motivating
these people to leave their countries, according to political science professor Maria Escobar-Lemmon. “Many migrants coming from Central America are fleeing both a lack of economic opportunity in their homeland … and increasing problems in their countries with violence from Central American gangs,” Escobar-Lemmon said. Law Professor Huyen Pham said previous U.S. presidents have rarely ordered troops to the border to assist in immigration enforcement and counternarcotics operations. According to Department of Homeland Security, troops have been deployed two times since 2001 — under former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama. “It’s fairly unusual,” Pham said. “There have been instances when state guards have been sent to the border, but it is not a com-
mon occurrence.” On Nov. 9, Trump signed an order that requires the denial of all asylum claims from people who cross the border illegally. According to Human Rights First, the DHS forcibly prohibits asylum seekers from stepping on U.S. soil, permitting no more than one to three families to cross per day. Pham said this is because once migrants are present in the U.S., they are allowed by statute to file asylum applications whether they entered legally or illegally, and these policies only serve to make an already challenging asylum process even harder. “The presence of the troops is intended to intimidate people from making a claim,” Pham said. “But it could also be that the government could find that these people BORDER ON PG. 2

The panel was made up Rich Braham, Jim and Evelyn Piazza, Steven Gruver and Debbie Debrick.
ANTI-HAZING CONTINUED educational programs. Since then, the coalition has spoken to more than 20,000 students. So far, the Timothy J. Piazza Anti-Hazing law in Pennsylvania and the Max Gruver Act in Louisiana have classified certain cases of hazing as felonies. They spoke to Texas legislators on Monday about improving the state’s current anti-hazing laws. “We have heard from parents who have said that their children did the right thing and called for help,” Piazza said. “Some people are listening. Take care of each other. Treat each other like a true brother or sister.”

claiming asylum don’t pass the credible fear interview or the initial screening and deny them the opportunity to participate in the usual asylum process.” The Posse Comitatus Act from 1878 restricts the military from engaging in civil law enforcement. But troops can support Border Patrol agents by, for example, placing concertina wire around the ports of entry, according to Pham. “They wouldn’t be allowed to detain immigrants or to try and seize drugs or to be directly involved in stopping a migrant caravan,” Pham said. “They cannot be directly involved in immigration enforcement, but they can provide support to Border Patrol like provide helicopter support for border missions, maybe to install barriers [and] to repair and maintain vehicles.” But, there is still some risk. For instance, in 1997 a Marine shot and killed American citizen Esequiel Hernandez Jr. while assisting in drug interdiction along the border.
Marketing junior Addison Holcomb said her sorority, Kappa Alpha Theta, follows protocols and completes online courses on hazing, but she had not heard from anyone who had been affected by hazing before attending the presentation. “I think it’s important to know the variety of ways in which people are impacted and how it happens at all universities,” Holcomb said. “You can be impacted as the pledge going through it, or it can affect you afterward, whenever you’re not the pledge and you’re the abuser. I’ve never considered it from that perspective.” Debrick lost her son Dalton in August 2014 after a Alpha Sigma Phi pledge event at Texas Tech University,
where he was forced to drink alcohol as part of a game. He passed out in the backyard shortly afterward. Other event attendees drove Debrick back to his dorm, only to turn around after seeing police and passing a hospital twice. They dumped him in a room at the house the party was held in, and he later died there. After making phone calls to figure out how to cover up his death, they eventually called 911 at 9 a.m. “The actions and events that led to these deaths are not a part of the Aggie core values,” Debrick said. “Make the decision today to live by your core values and do the right thing and save your parents, siblings, cousins and friends from this unbearable pain that we will never recover from.”
Trump has raised concerns about crime, terrorism and health risks posed by the people in the caravan. Escobar-Lemmon said immigrants, whether illegal or legal, pose a very minor public safety threat relative to people born in the U.S. “[Illegal immigrants are] not one of the main sources of crime in the U.S.,” Escobar said. “Is there zero risk? No. But we shouldn’t characterize everyone in that group as likely criminals.” According to the Cato Institute, the annual chance of being murdered in a terrorist attack by an asylum seeker or an illegal immigrant is approximately one in 1.3 billion per year. The incarceration rate for all immigrants from Mexico and Central America is about 970 per 100,000 versus 1,498 per 100,000 for natives. According to World Health Organization data, the average vaccination coverage rate for some common immunizable diseases such as tuberculosis and polio is 89 percent in the U.S. — similar to Mexico and the Central American countries.
These deployments, like recent ones under both George W. Bush and Brack Obama, take place at a time when illegal crossings at the southwest border are at historic lows. According to immigration policy analyst Alex Nowrasteh, Border Patrol apprehended 24 illegal immigrants per Border Patrol agent in fiscal year 2018 or one apprehension per Border Patrol agent every 15 days — 40 times lower than the historic high in 1954. Public service and administration graduate student Vincent Barbish said current administration policies, including troop deployments, will be important in how the U.S. responds to future caravans. “The current crisis of the immigrants coming towards the American border [is] probably going to shape how the United States deals with potential threats from from large groups of unidentified people and being able to use federal troops under the mask of immigration [enforcement] to deal with those people,” Barbish said.

propelling comic books into the media powerhouses they are today. Before the billion dollar box-office opening weekends, comic books were a niche community that was often isolated. For many readers, comics were a way out of the stress of school or work. Today, while infinitely more popular, his work continues to be there for his readers. After Stan Lee’s endearing cameos in every Marvel movie, it’s difficult to accept that I won’t be seeing him in another film. For some reason, I always had the idea that
Stan Lee would outlive me. In a way, he will. Stan Lee will live on through all he left behind for us to continue to love and cherish. Stan Lee will live on through the comics and games and movies and toys that shaped our childhoods and hang around in our adult lives. I never met Stan Lee, but we should all consider ourselves lucky to have the privilege of living on this planet at the same time he did. Excelsior, Stan.

“Outlaw King:” boring depiction of Scottish wars Director David Mackenzie fails to bring life to dull historical drama Cole Fowler

Netflix released Outlaw King in November, a movie about a 14th century Scottish King starring Chris Pine.
FOOTBALL CONTINUED second fumble recovery of the season. Keke said the fumble was critical, with the Rebels leading by one touchdown and inside the red zone. “They were moving the ball way too fast,” Keke said. “I had my mind on getting the football out and I put my hand on it and got it out, so that was a good turnover for us.” Against Ole Miss, Trayveon Williams picked up 228 yards on 31 carries to climb to a season total of 1,159 rushing yards.

avid Mackenzie’s most recent film, “Outlaw King,” stars Chris Pine as Robert the Bruce. The film picks up roughly from where the equally drab “Braveheart” leaves off and lifelessly continues the epic story of Scotland’s first war for independence. Although the film contains one of the best cinematic shots of the year so far, the rest of movie was lackluster at best. The plot follows Robert the Bruce in his quest to free Scotland from the ruthless grip of England during the early 1300s. The film takes place around the time of the famed William Wallace’s death and could be considered a sequel to Mel Gibson’s 1995 film. Neither film truly captures the bravery of the men involved in Scotland’s fight for freedom, but rather directly focuses on the violence of the war. The
marks the second time in Williams’ career that he has surpassed the 1,000-yard mark, making his career total 3,014 yards. Despite losing a fumble and throwing an interception on back-to-back drives, sophomore quarterback Kellen Mond accounted for four touchdowns — three through the air and one rushing — to match his career high. “[Mond] played an unbelievable football game,” Fisher said. “To come back like he did after two turnovers — I don’t think we give athletes enough credit psychologically and mentally to
battle scenes in each are properly choreographed and certainly intriguing, but the brutality of scenes alone cannot make up for the failures that are littered through the rest of the film. When the film debuted a few months ago at the Toronto International Film Festival, Mackenzie realized it needed serious work before the Netflix release. The film suffers from lack of direction and even Mackenzie himself could see this. He cut nearly 20 minutes of the film in a desperate attempt to save it, but his lastditch efforts could not recover the doomed film. It’s frustrating to know the director didn’t even enjoy the film in its first final version, and this lack of enjoyment directly correlates to the audience’s lack of enjoyment as well. Mackenzie made a name for himself in the American film scene with his 2016 film “Hell or High Water,”which also starred Pine. The Scottish director built up a reputation as a filmmaker in Glasgow
come back after a bad play. It takes very special types of people to compete like that.” Saturday will be Senior Night for the Aggies. Etwi said he can’t believe his four years as an Aggie are almost over. “It’s very bittersweet,” Etwi said. “It’s crazy it’s been four years and it’s been a heck of a ride but I know us seniors are going to leave nothing in the tank.” Fisher said the reason for planning Senior Night during the UAB game rather than the last home game against LSU was due to the high intensity and emotion that come from honoring the
before successfully transitioning to the Hollywood scene. However, this latest work negates his previous success. The film lacks a central vision and jumps back and forth between indistinguishable, two-dimensional characters. The film does have one redeeming factor, and that is the brilliant use of the camera work in the opening scene. The opening shot is a gorgeous 10-minute-long shot that brings the audience right into the exposition. The camera gracefully moves back and forth between the English army tents and a duel that takes place right outside. This camera technique is difficult to choreograph and must involve multiple masters of the art form in order to be successful. So even though the storytelling ability of Mackenzie throughout the film is shallow and dull, his work alongside cinematographer Barry Ackroyd in this scene of the film proves his potential as a director. Chris Pine’s perfomance as Robert the Bruce is
seniors, partnered with facing a tough SEC opponent. “You add the rivalry to it and all those type of things and the emotion of a last home game — I elected back then [at Florida State] to make the adjustment to the next to last home game,” Fisher said. “Just to take some pressure off rivalry games. LSU is a huge rivalry game in my opinion.” The Aggies will look for another home win on Saturday against UAB. Kickoff is at 6 p.m., and the game will be televised on ESPN2.
adequate given the mess of a film the final product is. Mackenzie didn’t provide Robert with much character development, despite his role as the titular character of the film. Most of the other characters and performances are pretty unmemorable as few of the characters are given any sort of motivations or development past information on the characters that can be easily accessed online. Ultimately, “Outlaw King” follows the trend of uninspired Scottish independence films that “Braveheart” started nearly 20 years ago. Mackenzie has proven himself as a filmmaker with his previous work in Scotland and Hollywood, so hopefully this is nothing more than a fluke in his filmmaking career. Rating: 2.5/5 Cole Fowler is an English sophomore and Life & Arts reporter for The Battalion.
