In 1894, E.C. Jonas designed the Aggie Ring, which has remained unchanged for over a century except for the 1963 change from Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas to the current inscription, Texas A&M University. The ring is designed with a number of symbols showing the Aggie Spirit.

What was once the home to a neighborhood nestled in a pine forest became a scene of charred foliage and ghostly, ashen rubble in the aftermath of the Central Texas wildfires. Joe and Dee Ternus evacuated their Bastrop residence on Sept. 4 not knowing that their home would be gone forever. The Ternuses loaded their pets, a new computer and a few belongings into their vehicle and took pictures of the interior of their home — now only a memory. Living deep in the woods, the fire was not far behind.

“I was taking a nap when my wife came in and told me I have to get up,” Joe, Class of 1962, said. “I finally went outside and saw the flames in the clouds. We knew we had to get out of there fast.” Weeks later, the couple returned to the rubble they once called home; little more than the tin roofing remained. Rocks around the structure’s base gave the outline of the house, an eerie blueprint where everything used to stand. “When we drove up, it didn’t look like what I remembered,” said Judy Ternus, daughter of Joe and Dee. “It was like I was in a different place and it See Ring Day on page 2

MyEdu partners with ‘The Princeton Review’ Robby Smith The Battalion Class registration for the spring semester began this week and students — particularly graduate students — may notice two popular student service companies, MyEdu and The Princeton Review, joined forces to enhance their products. “We are companies with a similar mission of helping students be successful,” said Frank Lyman, senior vice president of marketing and business development for MyEdu. “We do have the same goal and the same customers.” Lyman said the partnership allows students to benefit from the respective
specialties of The Princeton Review and MyEdu, formerly titled Pick-a-Prof. “MyEdu does more with class schedules, degree planning, and assisting students with the day-to-day needs,” Lyman said. “The Princeton Review uses a different kind of material to help students with test prep, graduate school info, and applications.” Lyman added that the companies’ partnership came after asking the question, ‘How can we improve what we’re offering students?’ The answer consisted of combining data to extend what MyEdu is already doing for students. “If we are already helping in undergraduate, then we should help with
graduate school,” Lyman said. Many students at Texas A&M already benefit from the undergraduate services MyEdu offers. “I use it to figure out how the professors grade and which ones I’m better off with,” said sophomore general studies major Leslie Del Villar. “I use it for all my classes in every subject, looking at the professors.” Del Villar said she has used it every semester since entering college and finds MyEdu to be very accurate. MyEdu founder Chris Chilek, Class of 1999, reiterated that MyEdu and See Online help on page 2

No. 11 A&M set to face Virginia Tech
Coach Henry lunges for renovations
James Solano The Battalion Coming off a convincing 4–0 shutout win against Louisiana State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, the No. 3-seeded Texas A&M soccer team (16-5-2) steamrolls into Charlottesville, Va., to kickoff at 3 p.m. Friday against Virginia Tech (13-7-1) in the second round. The Aggies enter Friday’s match ranked No. 11 nationally and with the nation’s top-ranked scoring offense, averaging 3.26 goals per game. The Aggies have won nine of their past 10 games, with one blemish coming from a 0–0 draw against Oklahoma State on Oct. 23. The maroon and white have blanked their last three

opponents, and were last defeated Sept. 30 against Missouri, 1–0. The A&M offense is led by freshman forward Kelley Monogue’s 19 goals on the season. Monogue was recently named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year. She was joined by fellow freshmen Annie Kunz and Meghan Streight on the Big 12 All-Newcomer Team, and by sophomore defender Rachel Lenz, senior midfielder Merritt Mathias and junior midfielder Beth West on the All-Big 12 First Team. West was honored nationally for her NCAA first round performance against LSU, earning a spot on the TopDrawerSoccer.com Team of the Week and See Soccer on page 6

The Battalion Landlocked by upgraded facilities — Penberthy Rec Sports Complex to the west, Aggie Soccer Stadium to the north, Olsen Field to the east and even a newly constructed apartment complex to the south — head track coach Pat Henry feels he is next in line. “I think we should have a facility that is representative of Texas A&M,” Henry said. “All [A&M] facilities should be and we’re behind.” In his eighth year at A&M, Henry has built the track program from a bottom-dweller into a perennial titlecontender with six NCAA Championships. In the wake of his teams’ successes, Henry said the current outdoor facilities are an embarrassment to a top-tier program and its athletes. “Everybody says you have to have great facilities to win.

Shortly thereafter, the bright sun brought a ray of luck and in the ash sparkled the diamond of his Aggie Ring. “I’m pretty calm but when we found that ring, we jumped around and I gave this man a big hug,� Dee said. “My daughter went to Texas A&M too, so I know how important the Aggie Ring is.� The Ternus family stayed with friends for three weeks following the fire. They then moved into apartments owned by another friend, where they were allowed to keep their pets. Within the last two weeks, the family moved into their new home just outside of town. Like many others devastated by the Central Texas disaster, the Ternuses are attending counseling to help cope with the tragedy. “It was emotionally disruptive for most of the county,� Dee said. “I know families who had no insurance and are suffering today. Many kids were pulled out of schools. The fire is difficult to

Battle of the bands down to final four Alec Goetz The Battalion It’s a celebrated musical tradition that combines two quintessential American inventions (electric guitars and superfluous competition) and has been featured in beloved films like School of Rock Battle and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Friday, time it’s coming back to The final round of College Station. the MSC Battle After two preof the Bands is liminary rounds Friday from 8:30 featuring a selecp.m. to 11:30 p.m. tion of Aggieland’s in Rudder Tower. greatest musical Entrance is free of acts from every charge. genre and backgrounds, MSC Town Hall’s Battle of the Bands has arrived upon its finale. Four bands are left standing, but only one will go home at the end of the night with top honors and a cool cash prize of $500. This year’s group of acts is an eclectic mix of genres and sounds, from synthpop to “gypsy rock,” and it’s anyone’s guess which one will win the evening. “It’s a very different sort of lineup from this year,” said Amy Bauerschlag, junior communications major and Battle of the Bands co-executive. “Last year’s group had a rap duo and a solo country artist,
but only one ‘band.’ This year we’ve got more bands and a lot more performers. One group alone has seven members.” That band would be The Off Brand, which describes itself with the somewhat on-the-nose label of “big band indie rock” and feature a cello in many of their songs. They are joined by The Jeremiahs, a “gypsy rock” jam-band led by a duo of front-women who share vocal duties, and synthy dance-pop outfit, The Year of Happiness. Rounding out the line-up is quirky trio The Votary, who discarded the standard bass and drum-kit rhythm section in favor of a keyboard and a cajon — a Peruvian percussion instrument that looks like a fancy-pants cardboard box and is played by sitting on top of it and slapping the front. All the bands are local to the BryanCollege Station area and play their own compositions. Each has 25 minutes on stage. In addition to this year’s competitors, country songstress Kimberly Dunn will headline the show. Dunn, who won the Battle last year, will perform a 40-minute set while the judges decide the outcome of this year’s event. Judging the show will be DJ Katie Dempsey of Candy 95.1, Rob Clark, entertainment writer for The Eagle, and Dunn’s manager, Scott Wilson.

Well, we just won our sixth championship with a facility that has been an embarrassment to Texas A&M,” Henry said. “I bring recruits in here all the time, and I continue to tell them that the Aggies are going to step up and build a first-class facility like what needs to happen.” University Director of Athletics Bill Byrne said plans for a $25 million outdoor track facility — to be funded mainly by bonds — are still in the financial stages, but donors are few and far between. “We haven’t had people leaping forward with checks in their hands,” Byrne said. “It’d be nice to think that we have people just coming out of the woodwork wanting to contribute to track and field but we’ve not been that lucky. Not to the extent we need to.” Byrne has a track record for upgrading A&M’s athletic facilities during his tenure. Since becoming athletic director, Byrne has signed off on pricey practice facilities for football and basketball, upgrades to the soccer stadium and an overhaul of Olsen Field. When asked if improving the outdoor facility is a reward for the track teams’ championships, Byrne said no. “It’s a necessity,” Byrne said. “We need to have an outdoor track facility. The indoor facility was 36 million dollars so it’s not like we haven’t invested in track and field here.” The track program received a $36 million
Selection process for the competition began months ago when Town Hall requested demo tapes from Aggieland’s best musicians, which were used to narrow the field to 10. “At first we were worried about getting enough bands for this year, but we ended up with more than we thought we would,” junior biomedical science major and Town Hall member Shelby Bieritz said. “It took us forever to get through them all.” The 10 acts performed in two preliminary rounds on Simpson Drill Field for an audience and a panel of student judges. Only The Votary moved on from the first round, with the remaining finalists selected from the second. “Judging the preliminary round was a fun experience,” junior English major Madelyne Adams said. “I was impressed by all the different kinds of musicians we’ve got here.” The finalists will move on to a bigger venue — Rudder Theatre — bigger stakes, and, the event’s organizers hope, a bigger audience. “I’m excited to show people what kinds of music this school has to offer,” Bauerschlag said. “There’s so much talent right under their nose and all they have to do is come check it out. It’s going to be a great time, it’s on campus, and it’s free. What’s not to like?”

Rhonda and Frosty Gilliam, Class of 1980, donated $5 million to construct the stateof-the-art facility, complete with a hydraulic track system, two long and triple jump sand pits, four pole vault runways and a capacity of 5,000. The outdoor stadium is on the to-do list. Byrne said the athletic department is still waiting for money to materialize from the University’s switch to the Southeastern Conference, and will rely on bonds to fund the remaining costs. “Hopefully we’re going to get some additional revenue from being in the [SEC]. We’ll take some revenue from that and we’ll have to bond for that.” The University of Arkansas announced plans to upgrade its athletics facilities to the tune of $300 million, including a large portion for the track program. Henry said the announcement is a reaction to A&M joining the SEC and an effort to stay a step ahead in recruiting. A master plan for renovating A&M’s athletic venues also includes a cross country course to coincide with the new equine center. Byrne said each Aggie sport deserves upgrades but

Most coaches ask for the best facilities in the country to help sway recruits on signing day, making the athletic director’s office a busy area.
Byrne always has people knocking down the door, but Henry said Byrne’s not the only person that needs to hear his plea. “Mr. Byrne is in a tough situation because every coach is coming to him saying ‘we have to be better,’” Henry said. “He’s gotta get tired of hearing it too, but the former Aggies, the students need to hear that too.”

texas Democrats gain advantage
Obama tweet by UT student stirs dispute
A federal court on Thursday issued temporary political maps for the 2012 election in Texas that some say will give Democrats a greater chance of winning seats in the Legislature. The maps, which still must be given final court approval, will remain in place for state House and Senate districts until there is a resolution to lawsuits filed over the Legislature’s proposals — likely through the 2012 elections.
College Republicans ask her to step down from role as president of organization Justin Mathers The Battalion In a tweet heard ’round the web Wednesday, Lauren Pierce, president of the University of Texas College Republicans chapter, caused a firestorm of controversy and criticism when she used the suspected assassination attempt of President Barack Obama to voice her political opinions. “Y’all as tempting as it may be, don’t shoot Obama,” Pierce tweeted. “We need him to go down in history as the WORST president we’ve EVER had! #2012.” Pennsylvania state troopers arrested Oscar Ramiro Ortega Monday for allegedly using a semiautomatic rifle to shoot at the White House from a vehicle in Washington, D.C. Within an hour of the tweet, ABC News picked up the story with the headline “Texas College GOP Leader: Obama Assassination ‘Tempting.’” The Daily Texan, the University of Texas student newspaper, reported the tweet was immediately taken down, but calls for Pierce’s resignation from the College Republicans have come from within and outside the organization. Pierce also served as secretary of the statewide Texas College Republicans organization. John Chapman, Texas College Republicans communica-
tions director, said the organization had no other choice. “Pierce will not be making any public statements, but we have officially requested that she resign from all official positions within the TCR,” Chapman said. “We have already appointed Brian Mitchell from Texas State as our new secretary, and Pierce’s position within the UT Chapter is being discussed internally at the moment.” In an official press release, Texas College Democrats also called for Pierce’s resignation. “It is never acceptable to joke about assassinating an elected official,” the release stated. “Texas College Democrats encourages Lauren Pierce to resign from her leadership positions in the UT College Republicans and Texas College Republicans.” Although Pierce later tweeted an apology claiming the controversial tweet was done in poor taste, the damage had already been done. Freshman general studies major Allison O’Gorman said Pierce’s act is inexcusable. “I don’t understand why someone in a position like hers would tweet something like that,” O’Gorman said. “She had to learn the hard way that almost anyone, anywhere, at anytime could read your statuses or tweets. If I were her, I would step down right away.”
Courtesty of the Texas Tribune
UT student Lauren Price, also president of the University of Texas College Republicans, is facing scrutiny after a controversial tweet. Price’s tweet addressed Wednesday’s attempted assassination of President Obama. Democrats across campus are also outraged at Pierce. Andrew Briggs, senior geology major, said the timing of the incident makes it even more inappropriate. “You can’t just joke about shooting the president,” Briggs said. “It’s stupid since anyone who has watched the news recently would know someone was just arrested for shooting bullets into the White House.” In spite of the controversy, some continue to stand with Pierce, saying she was unfairly targeted by opposition organizations. Peggy Venable, Americans for Prosperity: Texas director, worked personally with Pierce and had nothing but positive things to say about the young conservative. “All of this has been blown way out of proportion and it’s been entirely misconstrued,” Venable said. “Students now-a-days are used to tweeting about whatever is on their mind, and that’s all that really happened here. While inappropriate and an error in judgment, I am convinced that Lauren had no ill intent.”
Idaho man charged with trying to assassinate Obama
nation Craigslist ad leads to murder
BOISE, Idaho — An Idaho man accused of firing an assault rifle at the White House believed he was Jesus and thought President Barack Obama was the Antichrist, according to court documents and those who knew him. At one point, he even suggested to an acquaintance the president was planning to implant computer tracking chips into children. Oscar Hernandez Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez, 21, was charged Thursday with attempting to assassinate the president or his staff. He is accused of firing nine rounds at the White House last Friday night — one of them cracking a window of the first family’s living quarters — when Obama and the first lady were away. If convicted, Ortega faces up to life in prison. Ortega was arrested Wednesday at a western Pennsylvania hotel when a desk clerk there recognized him and called police. Ortega’s public defender, Christopher Brown, declined comment after his first court hearing in Pennsylvania. Ortega’s mother has said he has no history of mental illness, though when authorities were looking for him, they reported he had “mental health issues.” In Idaho Falls, where Ortega is from, a computer consultant told The Associated Press that the two met July 8 after Ortega asked for help editing a 30-minute infomercial. Monte McCall said that during the meeting at Ortega’s family’s Mexican restaurant, Ortega pulled out worn sheets of yellow paper with handwritten notes and started to talk about his predictions that the world would end in 2012.
A jobseeker from Florida who responded to a bogus Craigslist ad for a job on a southeast Ohio cattle farm was found dead, buried in a shallow grave, and another from South Carolina was shot but escaped by running away through the woods, a sheriff said Thursday. Noble County Sheriff Stephen Hannum said two men were taken into custody after cadaver dogs found the body of the Florida man this week in a grave in a remote area. Associated Press

After the 53-50 quadruple overtime defeat in Manhattan, Kan., junior linebacker Johnathan Stewart said in the following Monday’s press conference that he and the Texas A&M football team are relishing the opportunity to come back home. “We know that we have to bounce back,” Stewart said. “We have two games left here at Kyle Field with this senior class and we didn’t win as many games as expected but we want to win the last two and have some momentum and hopefully get to a bowl game.” A win against Kansas on Saturday would ensure the Aggies of a 33rd trip to a bowl. Although many pundits predicted in the preseason that A&M would get a BCS berth, five losses relegated Texas A&M to more modest prospects. Senior quarterback Ryan Tannehill said while the season hasn’t met expectations, the team can still succeed moving forward. “You can’t do anything about what’s past,” Tannehill said. “But I feel like if we can make the best of what we have left and win our next games then yeah, we’ve done a great job of fighting adversity and getting better and keeping going until the end.” Senior running back Cyrus Gray leads a rushing attack that averages 221.6 yards per game, good for 16th in the nation. The offensive line has given up only seven sacks on the season, the country’s 12thlowest tally. “There’s a lot of things we’ve done well this year,” head coach Mike Sherman said. “We’ve run the ball well, we have good balance, we’ve pass protected well. It’s the best I’ve been around, ever, in pass protection. But we just better find a way to win a football game.” The Aggies have an opportunity to rebound this weekend in their first game back at Kyle Field in the month of November. The visiting Kansas Jayhawks are 2-8 on the season and are winless in Big 12 play, but senior safety Trent Hunter said that means
Chris Neal — UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAS
Kansas quarterback Jordan Webb has thrown for 1691 yards, 13 touchdowns and 9 interceptions this season.
Last time out ◗ Texas A&M lost 53-50 in the fourth overtime last week at Kansas State. ◗ Kansas also lost in overtime last week, 31-30 at home against Baylor. the Aggies will have to be on upset alert more than ever. “They’re gonna be hungry,” Hunter said. “They have a lot of heat on their back. We think we have it bad losing three or four games in the conference, they’ve lost every conference game yet so they’re gonna be hungry. They’re gonna want it as much as anybody at this point.” The Jayhawks have looked better in recent weeks, losing their last two games by a total of four points. They nearly upset Baylor last weekend, but eventually fell 31-30 in overtime. “In the last two weeks they’ve really played their best football of the year,” Sherman said. “They’ve made some transitions and played a couple
younger guys on defense that seems to really help them.” A productive ground game allows the Jayhawks to control the ball and the clock. Led by quarterback Jordan Webb, they’ve maintained possession an average of 30:33 minutes per game, good for third in the Big 12. “I’ve watched him numerous times this season,” Sherman said. “He’s a smooth quarterback. He can run it. He can throw it. I really like his skill level.” The Aggies are a middling 5-5 on the season and have dropped three in a row. Kansas hasn’t won a game since Sept. 10. Hunter said these two teams will put it all out on the line on Saturday morning. “It’s like the old saying, ’You back a dog into a corner and it’ll come out fighting,’” Hunter said. “You back somebody up into a corner and they’re gonna be willing to fight. That’s what it’s gonna be this weekend, a fight.”

named a CollegeSoccer360. com Primetime performer of the week. Virginia Tech is coming off a 1–0 upset against No. 9 West Virginia on Saturday. The Hokies finished this season eighth in the Atlantic Coast Conference, receiving an at-large bid in its fourth-consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance, the fifth in program history. The Hokies are led by junior Kelly Conheeney who has 11 goals, 28 points and six assists on the season. Conheeney scored the game-clinching goal against West Virginia. Sophomore goalkeeper Dayle Colpitts has allowed just 13 goals on the season, snatching 67 saves and pitching seven shutouts during her 1,430 minutes at goal. The Aggies are 2-0 all-time against the Hokies, with the most recent victory coming last year in a 5–3 home opener victory at Ellis Field. “We’ve had some good road wins this season, so hopefully we can get another one,” head coach G Guerrieri said. If the Aggies beat Virginia Tech Friday, they will advance to the third round of the NCAA Tournament against either No. 2 seed Virginia (15-4-2) or Washington State (12-6-4) at noon on Sunday at Klöckner Stadium in Charlottesville, Va.
