Threat theories

A

mid a slew of recent bomb threats against universities, multiple theories abound behind the motives of the perpetuators, including terrorist plots and a prank game called “SWATing.”

University officials continued to investigate Friday’s bomb threat through the weekend but could not confirm details of motive while the investigation is in its early stages.

Texas A&M received the threat around 11 a.m. via email through Computing and Information Services. A Code

Maroon was issued at 11:34 a.m., advising students, faculty and staff to evacuate campus on foot. Numerous bomb threats have been popping up at colleges around the U.S. Threats were announced at the University of Texas at Austin, North Dakota State University and Hiram College in northeast Ohio on Sept. 14. The line of threats continued Sept. 17 at Louisiana State University. A bomb threat also caused the evacuation of three buildings Thursday at Texas State University in San Marcos, before Friday’s campusgeneral bomb threat at A&M. Investigations have not found a correlation between the threats, with the exception that the game called SWATing may be a linking factor. The object of the game is to send in a bomb threat in the hopes that a SWAT team appears See Bomb on page 3

Aggies CAN

Aggie women build homes, hope Jennifer Keith The Battalion Ella Foster, assistant supervisor for A&M’s Department of Residence Life, takes care of her five grandchildren in a rental home that is overcrowded and in an unsafe neighborhood.

After applying three times, Foster has now begun constructing her family a new home with the help of Bryan College Station’s Habitat for Humanity and their partner Aggie Women Build.

A component of the international organization, Aggie Women Build holds the same goal as Habitat for Humanity: to provide housing to those in need and to raise awareness of poverty

housing. Aggie Women Build focuses on women in the community who need housing help, many of whom are single mothers.

Aggie Women Build was born two years ago, after a conversation between the local Bryan College Station Habitat for Humanity and A&M President R. Bowen Loftin, who expressed interest in such a cause. “[Loftin] was extremely interested in the idea because he was looking at ways to support and empower Aggie women,” said Bermudez, a fouryour member of the local Habitat for Humanity’s See Habitat on page 4

The Battalion The Texas A&M Cancer Society made a bold statement on Saturday in the fight against cancer before the A&M-LSU football game.

The American Childhood Cancer Organization and Future Aggie Nurses teamed up with the A&M cancer society to hold a bone marrow drive in Rudder Plaza from 7 to 11 a.m. with a goal of registering as many potential bone marrow donors as possible.

Christina Ruiz, senior molecular and cell biology major and president of Texas A&M Cancer Society, said 283 people registered to be a potential bone marrow donors, and the A&M cancer society received a few monetary donations.

“It was successful because every person that gets swabbed is a potential life saver,” Ruiz said. “I wish I could thank every single person that got swabbed.”

The German Bone Marrow Donor Center, the largest bone marrow donor center in the world, provided the materials to swab potential donors and helped in the

planning the event. The center is a nonprofit organization that recruits volunteer bone marrow donors around the world. The people who are most in need of bone marrow transplants are people with leukemia, lymphoma and melanoma.

Amy Roseman, donor recruitment coordinator for the center, came in to help with the event and said it was great to see another drive put on at Texas A&M. “Last spring A&M had 346 donors with seven potential donors,” Roseman said. “That is statistically very

good. The goal was to get even more life-saving Aggies from this drive’s donors.”

Eighty-three volunteers helped run the event. Each volunteer had to attend a training session to learn about the process in order to be able to answer any questions donors had. Volunteers walked around tailgates and Kyle Field to try to get people to donate.

Nikki Banneyer, sophomore psychology major and president of American Childhood Cancer Organization, said there is a negative stigma when people think of donating bone marrow.

“The stigma is inaccurate,” Banneyer said. “About 80 to 85 percent of the time

when an individual donates bone marrow, it is much like donating platelets. The remaining percentage is characterized by a needle having to extract the bone marrow from your hip bone but the pain is minimal, comparable to falling down.”

The groups that put on the event are hoping the drive helps change the negative stigma that goes along with bone marrow transplants.

Ruiz said she wants to stress that it is not as painful as people think.

“This is a 1-2 hour, outpatient, surgical procedure,” Ruiz said. “Most compare the pain felt after the procedure to bruising a hip, which in perspective, is totally

worth saving someone’s life.

It’s a pain in the hip to save a life.”

Megan Girvan, sophomore environmental design major and member of the Texas A&M Cancer Society, said her membership, like many others, runs deeper than being involved in other organizations.

“My dad was diagnosed with lymphoma when he was nineteen,” Girvan said. “His treatment involved cycles of radiation. Thankfully, he was able to be cancer-free some time later. It’s hard to imagine going through that at the age I am. I joined the cancer society to spread awareness and support those that are in similar situations.”

Sumlin’s Aggieland Mark Dore: A few more days like Saturday would validate the SEC change for good

L

et’s get this out of the way: slap on that Ben Malena touchdown nullified by the chop-block penalty and the seven missed points by freshman kicker Taylor Bertolet and the Aggies end up on the right end of the scoreboard Saturday.

Punch it into the calculator and a 24-19 loss to LSU becomes a 30-24 A&M win.

Senior receiver Ryan Swope evades an LSU defender after a reception.

Play the same numbers game we just played with the season-opening 20-17 loss to Florida, tweak a play or two, and all of a sudden there’s a new result.

When LSU played Florida the week before, Tigers fans point to one long LSU reception-turned-fumble that was recovered

by Florida as the moment the game became a loss.

These margins could balance on the edge of a razor. Possibly as few as two flipped plays and the A&M squad could be 7-0. The words “national championship” might float in the direction of College Station. Johnny “Football” Manziel would have both feet planted in the door of the Heisman discussion.

Only now the team is 5-2. You could blame that on luck, but you couldn’t be more wrong.

Do you think it’s a coincidence that LSU made those plays and the Aggies didn’t?

That Florida did and Kingsbury, Sumlin, and Manziel didn’t? It’s not a coincidence.

I did. Sumlin, Snyder and Kingsbury gave legendary LSU coach Les Miles and his staff all they could handle. But one team turned the ball over, and that was A&M. That ends the discussion. Game over. Move along, shake hands and say, “Good game.”

The difference wasn’t a freshman kicker with accuracy issues or as some talk I’ve heard has hinted at, a smoke-and-mirrors freshman quarterback built on gimmicks and hype — Manziel’s still the real deal. I hope Aggie fans can see that. Manziel has a higher ceiling than any Aggie signal-caller since before the current student body was born.

Look ahead with me. A&M will be favored on the road against Auburn and at home against Sam Houston State and Missouri. Away against Mississippi State might be the most evenly matched contest of the season, so call it a coin toss at this juncture. The most optimistic version of myself still flinches looking toward an away game against

on the scene. If SWAT arrives, the prankster has successfully completed the game, according to Dispatch Magazine On-Line.

The Los Angeles Times reported the SWATing pranks have recently been used to target celebrities, such as Ashton Kutcher, Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus.

The pranks to individuals not receiving responses from SWAT teams may be the reason larger populations, such as universities, have become targets.

“I think it’s messed up that [someone is] causing such a huge interruption in a college

Nor is it an indictment against a quarterback who can’t yet legally buy a drink or a coaching staff that wore different colors one season ago. Elite teams do what it takes. Florida and LSU — No. 3 and No. 6, respectively, in the latest rankings — are elite teams, and A&M probably isn’t. Here I’m saving the label “elite” for those teams with the ability on both sides of the ball to emerge from the scrum with a national championship trophy.

Elite or not: two losses to top-six programs by a combined eight points?

Don’t mind if I do.

Before game one, I’d have troubling believing that anyone knew we had what we have in Manziel or could predict we’d be watching a mid-October game in Kyle with legitimate national implications.

Saturday was meaningful and that matters.

If you didn’t have fun Saturday — as a detached, objective football fan, if nothing else — you watched a different game than

to entertain themselves,” said Eli Durel, senior marketing major. “It’s wrong to create fear in the students when it’s unnecessary. We have to respond to them because we don’t know if they’re joking.”

The Dispatch Magazine On-Line also said in most SWATing cases, a SWAT team does not respond simply because there’s no time to assemble a team before the situation is confronted.

Universities have an evacuation plan ready for these types of incidences. A&M responded with an evacuation plan 30 minutes after the threat was received. Students were directed by Code Maroon to exit the campus to the north or south. Droves of students headed north, cross-

ing University Drive to leave the campus.

Crime analyst Radell Smith examined the possibility of someone monitoring evacuation procedures of universities to better design a terrorist attack in an article on Examiner.com.

“What isn’t a good sign is the fact that schools in three different states are getting these bomb threats around the same time period,” the article stated. “That speaks to the possibility that American colleges are being watched to see how they handle the evacuation of students, how fast they respond to the threat and the emergency response generated by law enforcement in light of the threat of a bomb.”

Gathering the students in

what are considered safe spots by the university may prove to be a type of isolation that a terrorist could use against a university.

Students such as senior math major Tara Obeid said she thinks the mass evacuation process was a good idea.

“Despite the mess [threats] cause, it’s assuring to see that our school knows what precautions to take to ensure safety,” Obeid said.

Lt. Allan Baron of the University Police Department said because of the ongoing investigation nothing could be released regarding those responsible for the bomb threat to A&M. “Be assured that this investigation is one of our top priorities and we continue to

Alabama in a few weeks, but would we complain about an 8-4 or 9-3 season in the school’s SEC debut?

With all due respect, close your mouths, give this team the credit it earned Saturday and know this program is future-oriented.

Potential recruit Ricky Seals-Jones Jr. — the best receiver in the high school class of 2013 — watched the game Saturday.

His college decision is between A&M and LSU. It doesn’t matter which school he chooses, because before the SEC, before Sumlin, before Manziel, before games like Saturday, A&M wasn’t the Texas team making plays on recruits like Seals-Jones.

There’s something different about Sumlin’s Aggieland.

work diligently with several law enforcement agencies to identify the person(s) responsible for this crime and bring them to justice,” Baron said in an email.

Baron said it was too early in the investigation to determine if the threat at A&M was linked to the threats at other universities.

In an email sent Friday afternoon, University President R. Bowen Loftin thanked everyone who evacuated campus safely, as well as the work of the various law enforcement agencies on scene. He said the University will work with law enforcement agencies to pursue those responsible.

“We will not tolerate anonymous threats of this kind,” Loftin said in a press

release. “We will work with law enforcement personnel to aggressively continue our investigation, and pursue and prosecute the perpetrator(s) of this senseless crime.”

Both possible motives, whether SWATing or monitoring university responses to bomb threats, pose a threat to universities and the well being of students. Baron said safety is paramount and any threats against the University will be taken seriously.

“The safety of the campus community is a priority,” Baron said. “Any threats that jeopardize the safety of our community are taken seriously. The circumstances surrounding the threat will dictate the appropriate response.”

does not give out homes for free, though it does provide families with new housing.

“It’s not a free house and this is the misconception that many people have about Habitat,” Bermudez said. “Yes, we do have a $300,000 sponsorship from the community, but the family pays Habitat for Humanity back for the cost of the house.”

On top of the hours of manual labor devoted toward their new home, homeowners sponsored by Habitat for Humanity are required to take 12 hours of home ownership classes, which cover subjects like budgeting, finances and home repair.

“From the homeowners I have been around, it’s a rewarding thing for them and they love working with students,” Klekar said. “They can look at something and say, ‘I painted that. I put those shingles on’ – all because they were there building it.”

The house construction takes between two and three months and Habitat for Humanity encourages the homeowners to make the house their own by choosing features such as paint color or the color of the wood.

Bermudez said she feels empowered by working with these families, “The families will often say to me, ‘Thank you so much for what you’re doing.’ I look at them and say, ‘No, you don’t understand. I thank you. It is an honor for me to be able to participate in your life in this way.’ That’s what motivates me, to be able to help a family that is trying to get out of the dire conditions they are living in and work toward a better future.”

Klekar said despite its progress, Aggie Women Build still has money to raise and it welcomes the help of any willing individuals or organizations.

Cherise Klekar, director of Aggie Women Build and sophomore international studies major presented Habitat for Humanity’s “hands-up, not hand-out” motto, exemplified through its $40,000 loan to local needy families.

“It’s a loan, but it’s a 30-year non-interest loan,” said Klekar. “That is one of my favorite things about Habitat. We are freeing them and saying, ‘Here is something that is yours. You will earn this, and you have worked for this.’”

The organization’s homes are built exclusively by volunteers, many of whom are retired professional contractors with experience on the construction site.

Ms. Foster is the first homeowner sponsored by Aggie Women Build, and as a sponsored homeowner, she is required to do 500 hours of ‘sweat equity.’ She will work with volunteers from Habitat for Humanity to build her home, as well help build other homes through Habitat.

Aggie Women Build has reached out to A&M’s Greek Life this fall to help raise the $40,000 required to build Foster’s home.

Senior Marketing major Kimberley Frey, the Director of Community Service and Philanthropy for Greek Life’s Panhellenic Council, has been in charge of contacting Greek Life’s 13 sorority chapters to help Aggie Women Build in their fundraising.

“We had a meeting with Aggie Women Build, and we setup a goal of between $500 and $1,000,” Frey said. “So far we have raised $750.”
