Silver Taps honors caring, one-of-a-kind cadet Barrett House The Battalion Early in the semester, the campus was hit with the tragic news that a cadet had gone missing and was later found dead. Tuesday, the student body has the opportunity to come together and pay tribute to Anthony Joseph Carey. Carey, who had been a member of Squadron 18, was reported missing before the start of classes on Aug. 27. Soon after, his car and body were found in Marlin, Texas. Once his family identified Carey’s body, the Corps of Cadets held Echo Taps
to say goodbye to one of its own. The Corps was a challenge for Carey, his mother Carolyn Moore said. But it had been a worthwhile experience for him, she said. “It was a huge challenge and it tore him down to nothing and then built him back up, and he just had a love for it,” Moore said. “He made friends that he knew he would have for the rest of his life.” Stuart Scott, member of Squadron 18 and senior modern languages major, said Carey was a buddy in every sense of the word and was a solid part of the outfit.
“Anthony Carey was a mountain of a man. Nothing ever wavered him, nothing broke him, he was a rock,” Scott said. “I don’t think you’ll ever find as good a friend as he was.” Moore said it was the closeness Carey shared with his friends that he valued the most. “He would tell me every time we spoke about his buddies and you could tell there was a genuine family feel to it, and he loves the family aspect of everything,” Moore said.

Texas A&M’s defensive front matches up against Arkansas during the 58-10 victory over the Razorbacks. The Aggies allowed 515 total yards and forced three turnovers.
A&M defense holds the line despite early criticism Mark Dore The Battalion
F
or a majority of college football fans, the Southeastern Conference brings to mind two things: physical defenses and national championships. SEC coaches, who have secured the past six national titles, believe there is a correlation between defensive strength and claiming the crystal ball in January.
For the Aggies to match the standards set by its competition, the defense will have to stand its ground. And so far, somewhat surprisingly, it has. While the firework-spouting Aggie offense — with freshman sensation Johnny Manziel
behind the wheel — has drawn national attention, the defensive unit under first-year coordinator Mark Snyder has quietly been waging an above-average campaign in a conference of defensive excellence. Snyder and Sumlin threw a new scheme at
their players, switching from a 3-4 to a 4-3 multiple defense — and the personnel have responded. Through four games, the A&M defense has yielded 11.8 points per game, good for third in the SEC and eighth nationally. For a coaching unit largely lifted from a University of Houston team known for a breakneck tempo and highflying passing attacks, the defensive success is a pleasant surprise for the coaching staff. Offensive-minded head coach Kevin Sumlin’s team has lived up to the billing with the ball in its hands, putting up 48.2 points per game, which slots first in the SEC and seventh nationally. Senior safety Steven Terrell said the A&M offense benefits the defense in unexpected ways. See Defense on page 3

The Battalion Another weekend brought about another undefeated stand for the Texas A&M soccer team. Despite competing in turbulent weather and hostile environments, A&M pulled off a comeback 2-2 tie at Kentucky before shutting out Mississippi State 2-0, improving to the top record in the conference at 11-1-1 (5-0-1). “It was good to get four points on the road in these weather conditions,” head coach G Guerrieri said. “We have five home games and two road games left in league play, so we’re in an enviable spot in the overall standings with a one-point lead.” The Aggies, who boasted a No. 6 national ranking last week, outclass the rest of the SEC. As of Tuesday, only No. 11 Missouri and No. 24 Florida even hold See Soccer on page 5

Annabelle Hutchinson & Barrett House Voting for freshman class president and vacant Student Senate seats began Tuesday and students are encouraged to learn about the positions and research candidates to find the best fit. Students can vote for open Senate seats in the following caucuses: freshman, off-campus, University Apartments, Liberal Arts, Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Science, General Studies, Engineering, Business and Architecture. Executive Vice President of Student Government Association and international affairs graduate student Mark Womack said he encourages every student to vote and said researching candidates is not as daunting as it may seem at first. Womack said researching can-
didates is easy when students realize they only need to research the candidates who are running in the caucuses that apply to them. “You’re going to vote for a couple of people within the college that you are in, depending on if there are spots within that college’s caucus, and a couple of people depending on where you live,” Womack said. Students who live off-campus, live in the University Apartments, are freshmen or who are in one of the colleges with open seats will be able to vote in the Senate elections. This is the first year vacant Senate seats are being filled by vote. In order to research candidates, Womack said students can search for the candidates through social media websites and ask the candidates questions. “The best thing to do is look at the sample ballot,” Womack said.

Enterprise acceleration Cross-college collaboration helps students evolve business proposals into reality Camryn Ford The Battalion To dream up a unique idea is one thing; to implement that idea, however, is another. Through cross-college collaboration, Texas A&M has created a business accelerator program currently known as “Startup Aggieland.� Created to help Aggie students bring their dreams of a successful business endeavor to life, Startup Aggieland provides students with the right resources to boost their current business plans. The accelerator is organized by students from various colleges across campus who are willing to dedicate their time to being part of the passion of fellow Aggie entrepreneurs. “This is some of the most rewarding work I’ve ever had the privilege of doing,� said sophomore communications major Andrew Karl. “The entrepreneurs come in and they are passionate and excited. They believe in their idea and have a zeal for life. It’s contagious.� The accelerator program at A&M is different from what other universities might refer to as an “incubator.� Incubators help start ideas from their base stage, before anything is put into place or any work has been done toward the idea. The difference with A&M’s accelerator is the program begins helping in stages past the initial idea. “We are here to help even people that don’t have business plans but we are not equip to do so just quite yet,� said Beau Barnette, senior landscape architecture major. Karl said the accelerator program aims to provide students with the tools needed to succeed in their entrepreneurial endeavors. In the long term, the program hopes to get
Defense Continued from page 1
“The tempo of our offense and the way they spread it around is good practice for us,� Terrell said. “We feel if we can defend our offense we can defend any offense.� Residual memories of last season’s leaky secondary remain, and critics can point to the more than 500 yards tallied by Arkansas on Saturday in the 58-10 A&M win. According to Terrell — who picked off a pair of Arkansas passes on the rainy afternoon — the Razorback yardage statistics were all according to plan. “Our biggest thing was staying on top of them and making sure [Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson] doesn’t get behind us,� Terrell said. “Overall, I think we did a good job of containing them. We knew we might give up a lot of yards but as long as we didn’t give up the deep ball we knew we were going to win.� Senior linebacker Jonathon Stewart, however, said he wasn’t happy with the gaudy yardage totals. “We still gave up 500 yards of offense and that’s unacceptable,� Stewart said. Missed tackles have plagued the defense at key junctures in the young season, particularly in the SEC opener, a 17-20 loss to Florida. Sumlin said that comes with the territory in the SEC. “In the league we’re in now, they are going to force your [cornerbacks] to not be finesse players and cover guys, they’re going to have to be physical guys and have to tackle,� Sumlin said. In practice, forcing turnovers has been a point of emphasis for Snyder’s unit. Against Arkansas, the Aggie defense forced three

One of the unique aspects of this program is that it offers students office space, which saves students money that would have been spent on rent in a different office building. All of the offices are currently occupied with eight companies that are already taking advantage of the help that the students working at the accelerator offer. Barnette said they still offer services to students outside of the offices. “Simply put, we are a business that helps students start their own businesses,� said Kyle Yates, sophomore general studies ma-
takeaways, including the two interceptions by Terrell. Sumlin said plays like those made by senior safety are integral for future success. “We’ve been talking since we’ve been here about game-changing plays,� Sumlin said. “Those kinds of things aren’t just turnovers but they’re game changers. We made some plays. We competed with balls in the air, we knocked down some balls and made some turnovers.� Snyder said another focus thus far has been forcing long third downs. “[Third downs are] the key to getting your offense the football,� Snyder said. “We want to get the offense as many touches as we can and we will get an explosion of points. Getting off the field is very crucial.� Stewart said Aggie fans haven’t seen much of the defense, and that’s a good thing. “We’re getting off the field at a remarkable rate,� Stewart said. “If we can continue with our velocity with stopping them on first and second down, regardless of what personnel they have in the game, and as long as we do what we need to do, we should have control on defense.� Selflessness matters, according to junior defensive lineman Damontre Moore, whose six sacks slot him in a tie for eighth nationally. “I’m happy that I get [sacks], but if I do my assignment right I’m just as happy,� Moore said. “At the end of the day, the goal is to bring joy and a good name to Texas A&M.� Of note, however, is the two SEC opponents the Aggies have faced rank in the bottom half of the conference in scoring. A&M’s other two opponents were SMU and South Carolina State, whose offenses don’t have the potency or talent of such upcoming A&M opponents as Alabama and Mississippi State.

jor. “We aren’t just with the business school or only for business students.� Despite the fact that the staff at the accelerator is welcoming to anyone who wants to stop by and chat about ideas, there is still an application process that must be completed to be accepted into the program. First, the student’s business plan is required to be in its advanced stages. The student either needs to have a business or have a solid business plan that they are ready to begin, Barnette said. To begin the process, the student needs to turn in an application and give a short briefing on their business. They also need

Junior defensive end Damontre Moore and the A&M defense routed Arkansas this Saturday giving up only 10 points. Stewart said if the defense focuses on key areas, their goals would be in reach. “We don’t go out trying to make statements,� Stewart said. “We just go out and try to play our game. Internally, we just want to be a smart, fast, physical defense and as long as we’re doing those three things we’ll be fine.�
Terrell said the team knows its identity, and believing in that identity will determine team success. “We know who we are, and we know how good we can be,� Terrell said.

to have a project team. Afterward, the students will complete one informal interview followed by a formal one. A panel of students who work for the accelerator will then make recommendations to their director and he will decide whether or not the student’s business will be accepted. There is a continuous three-part management class taught that has equipped the workers at the accelerator with the education necessary to help other students. The first class was spring 2012 and it focused on what an incubator actually is and how it works. The second class, which focused on implementation, was taught summer 2012. The third and final class is being taught this semester. It is specifically working on a naming contest for the accelerator and marketing of the accelerator. “We really want the student body to get involved and leave their name as a legacy,� Karl said. The whole idea of students helping students involved with the accelerator has put Texas A&M on the map. University President R. Bowen Loftin has been chosen to be part of a five-person council with other university officials from across the United States to meet in Washington D.C. on Monday with the U.S. Department of Commerce to announce what A&M is doing to foster entrepreneurship at the college level. Loftin will be representing the sector of land-grant universities. “We currently have opened our doors in a soft launch phase this semester and have seven companies who have joined us,� Yates said. “We plan to be able to offer our full resources in the spring.�

a slot in the Top 25, leaving A&M in a league of their own. Visiting Lexington on Friday afternoon, star A&M forward Kelley Monogue was able to erase second-half, single-digit deficits in the double-overtime draw — twice. The match snapped A&M’s nine game win streak in the squad’s first tie of the season. Neither team was able to notch a goal in the first half, remaining at a deadlock till the 52nd minute when the Wildcats bypassed Aggie goalkeeper Jordan Day for the initial lead. Fourteen minutes later Monogue answered with a deep 30-yard score. With only 10 minutes remaining, Kentucky netted a second goal, which was once again matched by the sopho-

more forward minutes following. In the waning seconds of the match, the Aggies nearly pulled out a stunning victory as Shea Groom’s shot careened past the left post and harmlessly over the end line. “It was a hard fought game and Kentucky came out and played well,” Guerrieri continued. “Kelley [Monogue] scored the equalizer, we came close to getting the game winner there in the last seconds. I think a tie was a fair result for the way the two teams played.” Days later, A&M picked up the pace on a rain-clogged evening in Starkville, downing the Bulldogs in a statement shutout. The Aggies were active early, notching both goals in the first 12 minutes of action. Junior midfielder, Jayne Eadie, staked the initial lead with a score in the fifth minute while Shea Groom added an insurance goal seven minutes later. The Aggies dominated the remainder of the match, threatening on multiple occa-
sions while squelching any Mississippi State attempts. “We did a good job of getting the early lead and controlling the possession the rest of the game,” Guerrieri said. “We knew it would be hard for Mississippi State to muster an offense as it started raining harder. We didn’t want to make any mistakes they could take advantage of.” Heading into the bulk of their schedule over the next seven games of the season, the Aggies look to retain their top seeding in their new league. With the possibility of going undefeated in conference play still on the table, expect this team to be focused down the final stretch. This upcoming weekend, the A&M soccer team will compete against western division foe Alabama on Friday before going toe-to-toe with ranked opponent Florida late Sunday.

“All of the candidates have a Facebook group. Every single candidate has been really adamant about reaching out to people.” Womack said he thinks some people have a misconception about the role of SGA. “This isn’t high school student council,” Womack said. “People make decisions in SGA that affect the entire University, that affect University funding, that people in Austin take very seriously and that the University administration takes very seriously.” Class Councils operate separately from SGA, focusing on class gifts, maroonout and class representation.

Cai Benavides, 1st Wing Commander and senior industrial engineering major, said the time that has passed since Echo Taps has allowed people to recover from the events surrounding Carey’s death. “Echo Taps is something that happens the day right after and people haven’t quite come to terms with what’s occurred,” Benavides said. “For Silver Taps to happen a month later brings closure to the events that transpired.” Moore said Carey grew up loving A&M. She said one Halloween Carey even dressed up as a Yell Leader. And while nobody he visited that night knew what he was doing, Moore said he was still proud of what he was representing. “He put on a white shirt and white pants and we’d knock on doors and say trick-or-treat and nobody knew what he was doing. They didn’t know what he was,” Moore said.
news thebattalion at the same time as Senate elections this year is because of convenience, said Senior Class President and senior industrial distribution major Trent Segers. Segers said, “We have to elect a freshman class president, and they have to fill vacant seats, and we both have to go through the Election Commission.” Brenton Cooper, freshman economics major, has been keeping up with the freshman class president race. Cooper said social media allows students to learn more about the candidates so that they can make educated decisions when voting. “It is a great way to learn about that candidate, to see what other people have to say about the candidates and make an informed decision on the candidates,” Cooper said.
“But he was so proud to be a Yell Leader.” Outside of school and the Corps, Carey was interested in music and nature. Moore said he was a very earthy person, constantly taking trips into the wilderness. Moore said Carey was aspiring for a career that would keep him outdoors. He was interested in being a hiking guide or an occupation in construction management. “He wanted to live in Colorado and do something where he would be outdoors,” Moore said. “He always told me, ‘I don’t want to be in an office all day long, sitting at a desk.’” Moore said Carey was always aware of those around him. He was always concerned with others’ feelings, and constantly put others before himself. “Anytime he had to make decisions about doing a group deal, he would never make a decision someone didn’t like,” Moore said. “He thought about others, to an extreme.”
