FATALITY
STUDENT VETERAN DIES IN MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT College Station resident, veteran and electrical engineering sophomore Rex Jackson Leddy IV, 37, was transported to the hospital and later pronounced dead after a motorcycle accident on Monday. At around 2:30 p.m., College Station Police Department officers arrived at the area of Barron Road and Newport Lane where the accident took place. While driving eastbound on Barron, Leddy and his motorcycle struck the side of a Dodge Charger as it began to turn westbound. The driver of the Charger was taken to the hospital for non-incapacitating injuries and later cited for failure to yield the right of way. Leddy was a veteran of the United States Marine Corps and a member of the Texas A&M Veterans Association. “We at the Texas A&M Veterans Association extend our sincerest condolences to the Leddy family, as well as anyone else who may be affected by this tragic loss,” the Association wrote on facebook. Although Leddy will not be included in the March 7 Silver Taps ceremony, he will be honored in the following ceremony April 4. — Staff Report

Islam Mossaad is the new Imam, or mosque prayer leader, for the Islamic Community of Bryan-College Station.
New Imam joins B-CS Muslim community By Matthew Jacobs @MattJacobs3413 Muslim residents and students in the Bryan-College Station area have a new leader in Imam Islam Mossaad. Mossaad is the new full-time Imam, a prayer leader in a mosque, for the Islamic Community of Bryan-College Station (ICBCS), the local Muslim community center. In his short time in the area so far, Mossaad has already had many interactions with local religious leaders in efforts to bolster inter-faith dialogue. Mossaad said he felt his life led to this moment of leading the ICBCS. “I was born in Arlington, Virginia; my parents came from Egypt,” Mossaad said. “I was [in Austin] since I was two years old, so pretty much my whole life. And I graduated from UT, so I have to keep a low profile here with my Longhorn paraphernalia. [I came to Bryan College Station] about a month ago, so toward the beginning of January.” So far in his tenure at the ICBCS, Mossaad has attempted to humanize the Muslim community and educate the public on the true nature of the Islamic faith. “[On Feb. 22] we did a presentation called the ‘Myth of Radical Islam,’” Mossaad said. “So trying to clarify that extremism and radicalism do not have a place in Islam; it was in Rudder. We opened up an event for the whole community called ‘Meet your Muslim Neighbor;’ that was a couple of weeks ago. Basically it was a way to … talk to people, to get to know them, but also we gave a presentation on what Islam is. It was really successful, we had about 250 people come.” Mossaad said he has been welcomed warmly by other local religious leaders and his arrival has sparked many new efforts in inter-faith relations. He recently spoke at the Hillel Center. “That was good [speaking at Hillel],” Mossaad said. “I spoke on the Five Pillars of Islam. Just a basic introduction to what Islam was, so they were very gracious and hospitable. I’m working with Rabbi Matt [Rosenberg] and Pastor Dan De Leon from the IMAM ON PG. 3
hen traveling to a new country, a number of tasks can prove to be challenging, like adopting new customs and learning about a new culture. Perhaps one of the most difficult is mastering a new language. For many, learning a language comes after immigration, and English as a Second Language programs, or ESL, provide needed support to these individuals. The Bryan Adult Learning Center, or BALC, is the largest adult education program in Brazos County and it provides ESL classes for qualifying individuals year-round with morning classes
Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and night classes Mondays and Thursdays from 6 to 8 p.m. Ambyr Weidner, coordinator for the BALC, said classes are filled with students from diverse backgrounds. “The ESL program serves anyone who would like to learn English and their first language wasn’t English,” Weidner said. “We have people from many different countries, where some languages are Spanish, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese — just all different languages.” While classes can vary from teacher to teacher, Weidner said the activities, typically done in groups, focus on writing, conversation, pronunciation and grammar. However, Weidner said language education goes beyond the classroom. “Some people seem to think they’re just going to sit there with a book
straight and the teacher is just going talk,” Weidner said. “But we do activities, we take field trips and everything — we take them to the library, the fire station, the grocery store because you learn vocabulary that way. We go to restaurant for dinner to practice silverware and practice ordering. I feel like it teaches daily life skills too.” Education junior and BALC volunteer Paola Boitel said some students may be afraid to apply for ESL programs because of stigmas toward adult education. “The older you get people believe you can’t learn languages, they think that you’re not able to retain knowledge because it’s not as easily done as when you’re younger,” Boitel said. “I think that’s a misconception, because at any age you can really learn.” ESL ON PG. 2
Undefeated A&M softball team to take on Cougars after victory over Florida State By Matt Koper @MattKoper After winning its first 15 games, the No. 5 Texas A&M softball team will attempt to build upon its momentum against the University of Houston Wednesday night at the Aggie Softball Complex. The undefeated Aggies (15-0) return home from a weekend series in the Mary Nutter Classic in California, where they won all five games they played, including a 2-0 victory over then-No. 1 Florida State. Following the weekend sweep which included wins over No. 14 Michigan, No. 21 Arizona State, No. 23 BYU and Long Beach State, A&M climbed to the No. 5 spot in the most recent ESPN Top-25 rankings. The Aggies have navigated through the early part of the season due to strong performances on both offensive and defensive sides of the diamond. “We found different ways to win, so what makes this team special is that we’re pretty balanced,” said A&M head coach Jo Evans. “We’re not just relying on hitting a bunch of home runs and scoring nine or 10 runs a game. We’re really relying on great pitching, great defense and timely hitting. And I’ll take that over having to score nine or 10 runs a game, so I’ve been really pleased with our team.” Offensively, multiple players are batting over the .300 mark and have driven in runs in the double digits. Juniors Tori Valde and Kristen Cuyos lead the team in home runs at 3, and sophomore Samantha Show joins them in the RBI category with 11 a piece. Sophomore Riley Sartain holds the highest batting average on the team at .429. Outfielder Sarah Hudek, who’s hitting .306 with a

home run and 9 RBI, said the team has been feeding off of each other and that, in turn, has translated to success so far. SOFTBALL ON PG. 4

The field of nautical archaeology is young, but A&M’s Nautical Archaeology Program is the only of its kind in the world.
A&M features only Nautical Archeology program in world Program professors talk about research projects, benefits By Paige Rivera @pR1VERA Nautical archaeology is a relatively new discipline — with full excavations from the seabed occurs first in 1960 — and A&M is on the forefront of this new field as the school boasts the only Nautical Archaeology Program in the world. “I always have to explain when I’m talking about it that it’s ‘Heroine’ with an ‘e.’ Talking about how much I love ‘heroin’ can concern people,” said Kevin Crisman, one of six professors of Nautical Archaeology at Texas A&M. The steamboat Heroine is one of the subjects of study in the “New World Lab” which investigates shipwrecks over the last 500 years. The director of the excavation was George Bass, professor emeritus at A&M, founder of the A&M Nautical Archaeology Program and creator of the Institute of Nautical Archaeology or INA. “The combination of Texas A&M classroom work and INA field experience makes our program special,” Bass said. “Some of our applicants seem mostly interested in diving, but there is so much more to it than that.”
ESL CONTINUED Mohamad Haziz, a student enrolled in BALC’s ESL program, said he’s been in the ESL program for more than a year and the classes have helped him significantly improve. “Don’t be nervous because everyone in this school is friendly and helpful and they come from worldwide,” Haziz
Lilia Campana, a graduate of the Nautical Archaeology Program, is now a professor at A&M utilizing her expertise in mathematics applied to ship design through the study of archival “sources” on “source material”. Campana’s dissertation topic was about Vettor Fausto, the first naval architect in the arsenal in the Venice. “[Vettor Fausto] is a genius,” Campana said. “He was considered one of the most important innovators in the Renaissance because he introduced a shipbuilding ratio based on a mathematical rule.” Fausto used the Gauss Formula 300 years before the formula’s namesake, Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss, was born. The formula makes up one of the four equations of classical electrodynamics. “This is a dream come true,” Campana said. “It is a lot of work but is very rewarding. I was lucky.” Another department venture led to the discovery of The Phoenix II, the steamboat that carried cholera to the United States for the first time. The Phoenix II is the subject of graduate student Carolyn Kennedy’s dissertation, and she stumbled onto the identity of the wreck by chance. “We were there for three years,” Kennedy said. “And in our final season we found [a chisel] ... It was an excit-
ing moment for everyone and very unexpected. I’d just given a presentation at a conference right before to say we would probably never know for sure which ship it was, so this was pretty cool.” What makes the chisel special is the inscription on it, The SB Phoenix, or “Steamboat Phoenix,” the name of the ship in question. It is through the dedication, research and fieldwork of the Nautical Archaeology Program that there is so much known about previous maritime trade and seafaring, Crisman said. “[Ships] have so much to tell us about the past,” Crisman said. “It is both comforting and disturbing that we make the same mistakes. We benefit from the mistakes of the past … Ships are a microcosm of the society that creates them. For the people on board they were a functioning mini society that represents the best technology of the time.” Those interested in the Nautical Archaeology Program should keep a lookout for a two-day lecture series April 5 - 6 about four influential excavations. This is followed by Shipwreck Weekend, a chance for anyone who wants hands-on experience with underwater archaeology to come participate in nautical themed activities April 8.
said. “You can improve your skills and learn many different things from many, many different places. If anyone needs to improve their English, join the school.” Weidner said ESL differs from other forms of teaching because it can bring individuals together who may not have interacted otherwise and teaches everyone something new along the way. “ESL is a really great way to bring in so many different cultures and help one
united group engage in English,” Weidner said. “The students enjoy it. They’re all here for a certain reason. We talk about cultures too, like, ‘How do you celebrate birthdays in your country?’ It’s a good way to bring people together and see how things happen in different parts of the world.” For more information about BALC or to reserve a spot on the BALC wait list, visit bryanalc.org.

Student pro life groups team up against Planned Parenthood Participants advocate for alternative options for women’s health care By Meredith McCown @meredithrhoads Pro Life Aggies partnered with Students for Life of America on campus Tuesday to promote the defunding of Planned Parenthood by the federal government. According to Jillian Ferguson, the southwest regional coordinator for Students for Life of America, the mission behind the display, which consisted of several signs displaying information, was to advocate the reallocation of funds towards Federally Qualified Health Centers, of which there are 13,000 nationwide. Furthermore, these health centers outnumber Planned Parenthood locations about 20 to one, and there are seven FQHCs within five miles of A&M’s campus. Ferguson works with about 75 groups, such as Pro Life Aggies, throughout Texas and Oklahoma on behalf of Students for Life of America and said they hope to demonstrate reasonable alternatives to Planned Parenthood. “Our goal today is to educate and encourage activism,” Ferguson said. “We’re trying to show that there are viable and accessible alternatives to Planned Parenthood that can actually provide more services to more people in more locations. And therefore, we’re trying to inform the student body about these other alternatives for them and encourage them to take action against Planned Parenthood because we’re trying to defund [them] and reallocate their federal funds to these other alternatives.” Regarding women’s health care, Ferguson said the intent of the display is to provide people with the knowledge that Planned Parenthood is not the only way. “I really want them to know that if Planned Parenthood were to be defunded, there would still be other places for them to go,” Ferguson said. “Planned Parenthood is not the place for women’s healthcare; in fact, 98 percent of American women will not step into a Planned
Parenthood. So they’re clearly not the place for health care, and we’re trying to show that there are other places for them to go in the form of these Federally Qualified Health Centers.” Ferguson said the main focus is not merely pro choice versus pro life, but rather a common ground in terms of the fight for proper women’s health care. Additionally, she said the funds from the federal government shouldn’t aid Planned Parenthood. “Planned Parenthood has been caught doing some really distasteful and even illegal things, and Students for Life doesn’t believe — the pro life generation doesn’t believe — that our money should be going to fund some of those more corrupt and distasteful things,” Ferguson said. Meteorology senior and secretary/treasurer for Pro Life Aggies Jackson Milton said alternative options such as FQHCs maintain as high-quality services as Planned Parenthood. “We just hope that they see that there are other options for them, that Planned Parenthood dominates a news cycle because they have a lot more money and a bigger cash flow,” Milton said. “And that there are other options out there for them that provide just as good of services and that hopefully they can advocate for women to go there instead of Planned Parenthood.” Psychology and Spanish junior and member of Pro Life Aggies Elizabeth Rodriguez said the reallocation of federal government spending from Planned Parenthood will improve the economy as well as contribute an overall support to women. “Many people think that the pro life movement is just saving the babies, but it’s not, it’s actually helping women and helping children in the process,” Rodriguez said. “So it’s not a short-term thing. It’s going to be a long term thing because these centers don’t just affect the now, but they’re going to help them throughout their life.” On the contrary, doctoral student in applied economics and marketing Daniel Chavez argued that federal government spending is a significant issue more complicated than an infographic and that there are other better places
IMAM CONTINUED Friends Church. Church. We’ve met with each other and we’re trying to be on the same page with a lot of things and coordinate.” Rabbi Matt Rosenberg of the Hillel Center and president of the Campus Ministry Association, mentioned the need for more Muslim representation in campus ministry relations. “My main goal as the president of the CMA is inter-faith,”

to start the process than the unclear resolution of Planned Parenthood. “In this particular case, whether Planned Parenthood or Federal Health Care clinics, the question and probably the Achilles heel of that conversation is the abortion portion of it,” Chavez said. “I’m a pro choice person, so I believe that women should be able to approach a clinic safely if they need to … so if defunding Planned Parenthood would remove that right from women, I think it’s taking us backwards as a society.” However, Chavez applauded the understanding perspectives of the people at the dis-
Rosenberg said. “When I arrived three and half years ago … I realized there was no Muslim representation on the CMA. I heard [Mossaad] was in town and made arrangements to have lunch with him around two weeks ago, along with Reverend Dan De Leon. And so I invited Imam Islam to come to Hillel.” Reverend Dan De Leon, pastor of Friends Congregational Church in College Station, mentioned the friendship between him, Rosenberg and Mossaad, and the importance of maintaining good inter-faith relations.
play from Pro Life Aggies and Students for Life of America and their willingness to lend an open ear. “I think it’s a conversation that should be had. I believe in open communication,” Chavez said. “I believe that people should be free to speak, I do believe in that right of freedom of speech and I do believe in freedom of listening as well. So I think that the display was interesting because the people around the display are not preaching their values on other people, but more trying to understand and view things from a mutual agreement zone.”
“One of the students on the Islamic Community of Bryan-College Station board who’s a friend of mine and Rabbi Matt’s arranged for us to have lunch with Imam Islam,” De Leon said. “And the three of us got together for lunch. That, being the first time we were able to officially get together as friends, helped me to realize how important it is for us to be doing inter-faith relationship building. Not just between the three of us as individuals, but between the three of our respective faith communities.”

“The team chemistry is the biggest factor,” Hudek said. “I think that our bonds are strong and they’re getting stronger and stronger every day. And that’s a big tool and that’s a big key to success for any team, because it’s not the best team that wins, it’s the team that really works together the best.” In the circle, the Aggies have counted on the pitching of Show as well as juniors Lexi Smith and Trinity Harrington. All three have won multiple games without suffering a loss. Show leads the way with six wins, followed by Smith at five and Harrington at four. Both Show and Harrington are neck-and-neck with low ERA’s at 0.57 and 0.58, respectively. The Cougars (6-11) travel to College station after taking one of four games in the Mary Nutter Classic Tournament — an 8-2 victory over Purdue in the third game. The last game Houston played resulted in a 3-1, loss to Northwestern. Utility player Sarah Miller has been the most productive for the Cougars offense, with seven home runs and 22 RBIs, followed by outfielder Elise Lebeouf with three home runs and 11 RBIs.

leads her team in batting average at .472. All of Houston’s starters have two wins, with Savannah Heebner allowing the fewest runs at a 3.09 ERA. Hudek said Wednesday night’s game against Houston will be key to carrying the team’s success from the weekend ahead. “I mean I think just to kind of start off where we left off in California,” Hudek said. “Just kind of build off that momentum — just keep building and building and getting better and better and just little things that we just have to work on.” Evans said she enjoys coaching against Houston because they field such an athletic team each year and always play tough against A&M. “Well U of H — I feel like they always play great against us,” Evans said. “I feel like they’ve got a lot of good athletes on their team — a lot of good Texas athletes, so a lot of those kids we see at camp year in and year out and compete against them. So it’s nice to get the opportunity to continue to play them every year.” The game is scheduled for 6 p.m. and the game can be seen on the SEC Network+.
