Buckeyes hire title winner
Meyer
A match that seemed obvious for months was made Monday, when Ohio State hired Urban Meyer as its next head coach. Meyer resigned as the Florida Gators coach after last season, citing health concerns and a desire to spend more time with his family. Meyer will become one of the highestpaid coaches in college football with a six-year contract that pays $4 million annually, plus another $2.4 million total in “retention payments.” Associated Press

Katherine Kelsch, senior electrical engineering major, is the artist behind the finals-week penny sculptures that appear at Sul Ross’ feet.
Good luck charm Senior doesn’t stop at pennies when asking Sully for help Justin Mathers The Battalion If it’s true that leaving pennies at the feet of the Sul Ross statue brings good luck during exams, Katherine Kelsch has been a regular four-leaf clover for A&M students the past three years. Kelsch, a senior electrical engineering major, creates elaborate penny sculptures that adorn Sully’s feet each semester during finals week. She started building the penny sculptures her freshman year, and made it a tradition to place a sculpture on the statue of Sul Ross during finals. There are several variations of the origin of the penny tradition. One holds that Lawrence Sullivan Ross, president of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas during
the 1890s, readily offered to tutor students seeking help, but would not let students pay for his time. He only accepted a penny as compensation. Kelsch has taken this tradition to a new level. As a freshman, Kelsch began the series with a replica of Bonfire, followed by a miniature Reveille. She continued as a sophomore with a gig ‘em thumb and a bowtie in honor of University President Bowen Loftin’s spring 2010 appointment. Her junior-year creations were a detailed Kyle Field — complete with a light-up scoreboard and fans — and a giant Aggie ring, commemorating her personal achievement. The story of the penny sculptures began See Penny on page 6

Jessica Orwig The Battalion As the enticing aroma of roasted turkey filled the air Thanksgiving Day, family members gathered around the table for dinner. For many, the four-legged friends of the family also gathered — underneath the table — with tails wagging and mouths salivating. But in the Cordts family — whose daughter is a sophomore at Texas A&M — one furry member was absent from this year’s feast. Their canine companion, Rowdy, was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, cancer of the bone, in early November and underwent surgery at A&M the week before the holiday. Although the cancer has a 90 percent fatality rate, A&M veterinary surgeons may have discovered a surgical solution, which could save human lives as well. Through Rowdy’s thick white coat, characteristic of his Great Pyrenees breed, owner Kate Cordts noticed a lump on the pooch’s lower front right leg earlier this month. The Cordts’ regular veterinarian took X-rays and identified the tumor.

Texas A&M veterinarians prepare Rowdy, a Great Pyrenees with a deadly bone cancer, for surgery. Osteosarcoma is common in large dogs like Rowdy, and the traditional method of treatment is amputation. According to Mark Lenox, research scientist for the Texas A&M Institute for Preclinical Studies who was involved with Rowdy’s surgery, the nature of osteosarcoma made amputation unavoidable in the past. “Osteosarcoma is a very difficult type of See Surgery on page 2
Special to The Battalion Students who dread the hassle of relying on public transportation every day can look forward to Transportation Services advancing bus technology. Tech-savvy students may soon be able to avoid difficulties associated with commuting to campus by simply using their smart phones. June Broughton of Transportation Services said a mobile application is in the works that will allow students to track bus locations, time of arrival and the number of passengers on-board. She shied away from specifics, but said progress is being made on the technology and the application will be released “in the near future.” “In the meantime, the online tracking system can be a helpful tool,” Broughton said. “We are still working on some of the features of the system,
but are pleased to be able to offer this technology for use by our customers.” The application will be made possible through a GPS tracker installed on every bus that reports back to Transportation Services their location around campus, which will be visible on Google maps. Erick Beck, director of web development for Texas A&M’s Division of Marketing and Communications, manages the mobile website m.tamu.edu, another helpful tool which shows when busses for each route will be arriving at their next stop. “We will continue to upgrade the apps, and more features will become available once the busses on campus are GPS-enabled,” Beck said.

from campus creates crowding and delays, and students can have a hard time finding a spot on the bus. Opinions about bus transportation vary among students. Alyssa Perez, sophomore business major, said she cannot rely on the bus system. “The bus system is horrible. It’s so packed. There’s no point in having times because they’re never there at the right time,� Perez said. “I definitely think theres room for improvement.�. She said she felt positive about the news that Transportation Services is developing a mobile application that uses technology to make riding the bus more efficient.
“[It] would be so helpful, instead of relying on set times and having to wait,� Perez said. “It’d be nice to see where the busses actually are at any particular time.� Sara Mulvahill, junior elementary education major, said riding the bus is helpful but not always reliable. “I took the bus all last year and I thought it was convenient, except when you’re on the last stop when you might have to wait to get a spot,� Mulvahill said. “You have to get there kind of early too.� Until the complete mobile application is finished, students can make use of the online tracking system that Transportation Services recently launched, where passengers can see real-time locations of the busses on each route. This can be found at transport.tamu.edu/busroutes.
NEW YORK–Shoppers seem to be just as enthusiastic about shopping on their computers and smartphones on Cyber Monday as they were about ďŹ nding deals over the weekend. Online sales on Cyber Monday, which was started in 2005 by a retail trade group to encourage Americans to shop online on the Monday after Thanksgiving, were up 18 percent from a year ago, according to data from IBM Benchmark. Meanwhile, sales from mobile devices were up 7.4 percent. The Cyber Monday numbers point to Americans’ growing comfort with using their personal computers, tablets and smartphones to shop. Over the past few years, big chains like Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world’s largest retailer, have been offering more and better incentives like hourly deals and free shipping to capitalize on that trend. A record 226 million shoppers visited stores and websites during the four-day holiday weekend, up from 212 million last year. Associated Press

cancer. It is really tough. It is very hard to kill with anything. And it is in the bone,� Lenox said. Though amputation is the most common form of treatment, it can come with consequences. For large dogs, amputation can limit the animal’s mobility and there is no guarantee of success. So the Cordts decided to search out other forms of treatment after Rowdy’s diagnosis. Cordts contacted the University after coming across an article about a surgery A&M researchers had performed on a Saint Bernard with osteosarcoma. Within a few days, Rowdy was taken to the Texas A&M Institute for Preclinical Studies, where Lenox took a Computer Tomography (CT) scan and a Position Emmission Tomography (PET) scan of Rowdy. Using the University’s high-powered PET scanner, Lenox was able to pinpoint the exact location and size of the tumor. Because of Rowdy’s size and the size of the relatively small, pecan-sized tumor in his bone, Lenox and colleagues decided that Rowdy would be a good candidate for a leading-edge procedure. Instead of attacking the tumor with an “outside-in� approach, this innovative surgical technique attacks from directly inside the tumor moving outward, Lenox said. By drilling needle-point sized holes into the cancerous bone, Lenox and Theresa Fossum, Institute for Preclinical Studies director, were able to inject a liquid radioactive material directly into the tumor. Though this material cannot kill the tumor entirely, it can destroy a significant portion of the tumor as well as significantly slow further growth. Lenox and Fossum led the two-hour procedure that required 13 veterinary scientists and supporting staff. Some monitored the dog’s vitals, others measured the level of radioactivity within the room and one person kept the radioactive substance mixed until it was ready to be injected.

A computer-generated image showcases the effects of Osteosarcoma, a form of cancer that spreads through the skeletal system. gineering Jennifer Rodriguez was given the responsibility of holding the radioactive material and shaking it on occasion to keep it properly mixed. Despite the semifrightening aspect of her job, Rodriguez said she enjoyed being a participant. “I thought it was pretty awesome,� Rodriguez said. One of the primary advantages to this technique is that the animal can keep its limb. Moreover, the treatment targets the tumor directly, protecting other parts of the body. Within a few days of the surgery, Rowdy was walking on all fours and appeared to be in good shape, Lenox said. “He’s fine. He wants to go home,� Lenox said. “He’s not used to living somewhere where he can’t jump up on the couch.� These surgeries are the beginning of what may become a possible treatment for humans with osteosarcoma. As in dogs, amputation is the common treatment for

osteosarcoma in humans. Though the cancer is more prevalent in dogs, osteosarcoma affects approximately 800 people a year, of which 400 are children and young adults, according to the American Cancer Society. Because the treatment is still in its preliminary stages, scientists are hesitant to say when it will be available to humans. But Lenox said he is hopeful for the surgery’s technique and its applications to medicine. Right now, Rowdy is still too radioactive to stay with his family. He must wait until the radioactive substance decays enough to be considered safe, which Lenox said would take about two weeks following the surgery. Despite having missed Thanksgiving dinner, Rowdy will not miss out on the turkey. “I saved some turkey for him in the freezer,� Cordts said. “I didn’t want him to miss it, so it’s waiting for him.�

Original Disney drawing up for auction RENO– An original, autographed drawing by Walt Disney, believed to have been made about 1920 before he hit it big in the entertainment world, will go up for auction in Reno this week. The whimsical drawing of a cigar-chomping man wearing a derby hat will be among 1,400 items up for sale at the two-day auction set to begin Tuesday at the Atlantis Casino Resort. Titled “Fill Up My Can,” the illustration has an estimated value of $35,000 to $50,000. It’s believed to predate Disney’s Mickey Mouse, which made its cartoon debut in 1928. The drawing was once owned by Disney’s sister, Ruth Disney. Also up for auction is what’s billed as the “first and possibly only known copy” in private hands of the original Nevada Black Book, which features names, information and photos of about a dozen people barred from entering Nevada casinos.

wilight fans catch a disproTeam Edward or Jacob? portionate amount of flak Melanie Starling, with The Battalion, from snarky media-types and interviews Twilight saga fans at the Cinemark Movies 18 theater Breaking other fan cultures. Dawn: Part 1 premiere. Catch clips at The reasons for this abject nerd-venom are plentiful and varied: there’s the perceived aura of mediocrity that surrounds everything Stephenie Meyer touches, the questionable use of classic monsters in a romance written for the Disney Channel set, and the elevation of Taylor Lautner to bona-fide movie star status, to name a few. As a former hater who, after reading the first novel and seeing the first film, now firmly stands on the side of amused indifference, I took on the mission of writing a column on the Bryan-College Station premiere of Breaking Dawn: Part One with the goal of writing a fun, funny story about my experience and the fan culture surrounding the film. Ladies and wolfmen, this is not that column. Midnight showings of films with fan bases comparable to Twilight’s, like the final Harry Potter films and The Dark Knight, taught me that fans don’t dress up in goofy costumes and stand in line for hours to see a film. They do it to commune with characters they have grown to love, to see how their favorite stories are interpreted by dreamers with different imaginations than their own, to worship at the altar of modern pop-culture in their own special way. So it was at my screening of Breaking Dawn, except no, it wasn’t. Most midnight showings are populated with superfans, which means screaming, cheering and mass applause loud
thebatt.com. enough to drown out the movie. My auditorium (which was filled floor-to-ceiling with ladies of various ages, me — with my Y-chromosome — quite possibly being the sole exception) didn’t even cheer when wolf-boy Jacob took his shirt off in the opening five seconds of the film. The Hunger Games trailer that rolled before the film got a warmer reception than the first appearance of Robert Pattinson as world champion brooder Edward Cullen. What was going on? Why aren’t any of these fans excited about this movie? Did I pick the wrong theater? What am I going to write about for my story? Why did that guy holding a purse outside the women’s bathroom look so scared and alone? I asked myself all this and more as I sat there in the second row and watched Bella Swan and her undead future sister-in-law plan a dream wedding, a slow sinking feeling setting in. It took until Edward and Bella’s honeymoon for the reason behind the general lack of Twihardiness to hit me: Breaking Dawn wasn’t the mediocre supernatural romance flick I was led to believe it would be. It was instead the cinematic equivalent of an air-show accident or a train derail-

ment — a truly horrible film on every conceivable level. I have been told that the novel the film was based on is by far the least popular of the source material, which must have accounted for the lack of enthusiasm on the part of the fans, but what little good parts there were must have been lost in translation. What is left are an unintentionally funny plot involving a shirtless wolf-boy falling in love with a psychic infant that even provoked laughs from the audience of fans. Pros: The Pacific Northwest is a beautiful setting and looks like it would be a nice place to live. The CGI used for the wolves looks better than a SyFy TV movie. Cons: Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have no chemistry on screen, which is troublesome considering they’ve been dating for years. There is nowhere near enough story to fill a full-length movie, which results in horrendous pacing issues. Every word that comes out of Lautner’s mouth is a cliché not fit for a daytime soap opera. The film has extremely mixed messages about young women’s sexuality and a heavy handed abortion debate shoehorned into the second act. And, to reiterate, the climax hinges on a wolf-boy falling in love with a psychic baby. So what did I learn from all of this? For starters, Twilight fans are no more obsessed with their franchise of choice than any other fandom. They may not be the most exciting people to catch a midnight screening with, but they certainly made it easier to get through an unwatchable mess of a film. And that has to be better than Jack and Jill, right?

Enrollment up, funding down Inside A&M
Naila Dhanani: Setting priorities
T
exas A&M set a record this year, enrolling 49,861 students for the fall semester. According to preliminary data released by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, this number was the result of a 732-student increase from fall 2010. The change might not seem like much. After all, it’s only a 1.49 percent increase, but its effects are far more telling. Unfortunately, funding for the University has not kept up with the growing number of students, and we find ourselves questioning our administration’s priorities. Why continue to increase enrollment each year while funds and resources decrease? Consolidating low-producing degree programs and hiring consulting firms to cut waste are great ways to improve efficiency, but alone, they cannot sustain an increasing number of students each year. The Texas Legislature was largely responsible for the funding decreases, and it will be interesting to see how enrollment numbers change over the coming years as the drastic budget cuts to public education take effect.
Of equal importance for our state, public school districts suffered $4 billion in cuts during the past legislative session, indicating future budget-slashing trends. Cutting funds to public education was a terrible decision. But even if the Legislature is not smart enough to foresee the long-term impact of decreasing spending on students, our administration should, and has a responsibility to act accordingly. A&M has the capacity to mitigate a portion of the negative effects from the Legislature, but will have to reconsider its priorities to do so. If we are a world-class institution with world-class faculty and students, our administration should be world-class as well. They should be smart enough to realize that about 95 percent of students are educated at the primary and secondary level in Texas. The proper education of these students is the first and most important step toward not only increasing our 4-year graduation rate — which sits at a dismal 50.3 percent — but also toward increasing the value of our degree. More than $50 million will be spent on new University construction projects approved by the Board of Regents, including a $21 million physical education facility and a $9.4 million football player development center. A 111,000-square-foot gym sounds great, but it’s not nec-

essary. That money should instead be invested in statewide college-readiness programs. If the Legislature won’t fund districts properly, then we should. By assisting student success programs, mentorships and online learning initiatives, our University can invest in future Aggies and visibly serve our state. What benefit is there in enrolling more than 50,000 students if they don’t have the tools or readiness to graduate?

Sully to not let them fail finals and to accept their penny offering as a token of respect. Then, the two return to their dorm to rest for finals. Kelsch’s penny statue depicting Reveille attracted many passers-by marveling at the work. A photograph of Reveille alongside her likeness even became Reveille’s official Facebook photo. “Constructing the sculptures definitely takes a lot of time because I put thought into every penny,” Kelsch said. Senior university studies major Stephen Spears, who first saw Kelsch’s work when he passed by the replica of Kyle Field last fall semester, immediately sought out Kelsch to thank her for her sculptures. “I think they’re incredible,” Spears said. “I saw her name on the sculpture, found her on Facebook and sent her a message thanking her for bringing up my mood around a tough finals week. I’m really amazed at the sculptures she has done and I encourage everyone to keep an eye on Sully around finals.” Kelsch said she is more than thankful for her fans who seek her out on Facebook to thank her for her work. “Usually the messages are a thank you for the finals distraction,” Kelsch said. “Honestly, if it weren’t for them I wouldn’t keep doing it. That reasoning is why I have the penny sculpture, to keep spirits up.” Kelsch is currently preparing another penny sculpture to bring a welcome distraction for Aggies during finals. Kelsch said she plans to reveal the new sculpture on Dec. 12, but didn’t want to reveal its form quite yet. “It will definitely be of the old aggie traditions,” Kelsch said. “Normally I try to keep it a secret as long as possible. But here is a hint: It is literally the oldest standing tradition in Aggieland. And let me tell you, it is using up all of my glue.”
on the third floor of Haas Hall as Kelsch and her roommate Kelly Tucker, senior biomedical sciences major, discussed Sully, pennies and the misery of finals week. “We both agreed we’d have to leave heaps of pennies at Sully’s feet for all the luck we’d need to get through the spring,” Tucker said. “Somehow we progressed to talking about BTHO finals, and Kat had the spark of brilliance to build a miniature bonfire out of pennies to accomplish it. We laughed about it for a few minutes before we began to turn the discussion towards actually building the thing.” Kelsch said building the sculptures is a tedious process that often involves flames and breaking glass. “It doesn’t just take a bunch of epoxy glue and plaster,” Kelsch said. “It takes blood, sweat and tears.” Kelsch said the penny sculptures take a lot of work because she has to build them one penny at a time, but that it’s worth it in the end. After deciding glass would be needed to make the flames of the bonfire, Kelsch found that cutting it down to size would be a different matter entirely. “I stared at the tools to cut the glass … and all I had to do was hammer it. Although, keeping in mind, that we were in a dorm room, with just a towel under the glass ready to shatter,” Kelsch said. “Kelly finally just yelled at me, ‘Smash the thing.’ And then the glass flew everywhere.” Every semester, around 4 a.m. on the Monday of finals week, Kelsch and Tucker deliver the sculptures to the statue of Sul Ross. Kelsch used pennies, molding clay, a pig On the morning of delivery, they place the sculpture and a wooden modeling tail for sculpture, say a few solemn words and beseech this Reveille sculpture.
