The rivalry between Texas A&M and the University of Texas again

will heat up on the court as the in-tramural basketball champions from both schools face off Sunday in the Lonestar Showdown.

This weekend’s basketball game is the second part of the competition

that began in the fall with a football game in Austin between the intramural champions from each school, said Matt Keller, SGA executive vice president of student services.

“Funny story — we won the males, co-ed lost and the females also lost,” Keller said. “So, in other words, we ran out of time in two out of three of the games.”

The idea for reviving the rivalry came from Horacio Villarreal III, UT student body president.

“Over the summer of 2013, a friend and I were talking about the old Tex-as-Texas A&M rivalry,” Villarreal said.

“And when we were talking about it, we said it was a shame that we still don’t have that anymore. We thought it would be cool if regular students played each other — non-Division I athletes. We thought it would put a different twist on the rivalry.”

Travel time will be short for the Prairie View

A&M Panthers as they make the 50-mile trip up Highway 6 to take on Texas A&M in a mid-week showdown at Olsen Field Tuesday night at 6:35 p.m.

Prairie View A&M arrives after a walk-off grand slam from junior catcher Grant Dougherty against Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Saturday.

Led by seniors Dominiq Harris (.327) and Greg Salcido (.324), the Panthers are bat-ting .265 as a team and have grounded into just five double plays this year

Harris leads the team in home runs and RBIs with five and 33, respectively. Har-ris is second on the team in hits

with 32, trailing only Salcido who has 33. Salcido leads the team in doubles with 11, but has struck out a team-high 22 times.

A&M is fresh off a 1-2 weekend series with Alabama that featured a 13-8 victory in the first game of a Saturday doubleheader. The Aggies are tied for last with Auburn in the western division of the SEC.

Freshman Nick Banks is heating up as the season wears on. Banks started the season with a .160 average (4-25) but has since raised his average to a team-high of .321. Banks has 27 hits including four doubles, a triple and a home run in 2014.

Cole Lankford is second on the team in batting average with a .306. Lankford is in the

top five on the team in slug-ging percentage at .410, dou-bles with 8 and runs scored at 16. He also leads the team in hits (41), RBI’s (24) and total bases (55).

Sophomore right-hander Andrew Vinson has pitched 25 innings for the Aggies, al-lowing 14 hits and nine runs in a team-high 19 appearances on the mound.

The Aggies (19-14, 5-7 SEC) are 14-7 in non-confer-ence games this year and own a 16-7 clip at home.

Following Tuesday’s single game against Prairie View A&M, Texas A&M will con-tinue its SEC schedule Friday on the road against the No. 7 Vanderbilt Commodores. The three game-series is slated to begin at 6:30 p.m.

Freshman outfielder Nick Banks has 27 hits this season including four doubles, a triple and a home run.

Cast member Jarrod Biron Green, who plays Tony, said this tour attempts to push the boundaries even further with a more sinister approach to the beloved musical.

“The story is the same, but some of the book has been tweaked from the original pro-duction,” Green said. “Since there is a Puerto Rican gang, they put more Spanish into the show. Ten percent of the lyrics are Spanish now. It makes it more realistic. Some of the old school musical theater comedy has been changed to make a darker reality. It’s a lot more violent and gritty.”

Adding a layer of violence, this new take has stripped away the rose-colored glasses of the old-style comedy, Guerin said.

“In the 1950s there were a lot of euphemisms that glossed over how tough a life these kids had,” Guerin said. “The way that the Jets treat Anita when she comes to give them information is hurtful but not life-threatening. In this version the Jets assault her.”

“West Side Story” mirrors the tale of Shakespeare’s “Ro-meo and Juliet.” Although the audience can follow these parallel characters, “West Side Story” allows for a sense of closure not afforded to the original story, Guerin said.

“Because the story is moved forward to the 1950s, it’s not people in tights,” Guerin said. “It’s the same story, but there are enough changes to the

plot that we get to see the af-termath. In the original, their bodies are discovered and it ends. But in ‘West Side Story’ we get to see the community’s reaction — how they are go-ing to heal themselves.”

Katie Guilbault, junior psy-chology major, said the updat-ed aspects of the show make her more interested in the per-formance.

“When a play like ‘West Side Story’ is adapted in a way to make it have a more real-istic plot line, I think it only enhances the performance — considering the very real sub-ject matter of the play,” Guil-bault said.

Guerin said the audience should walk away from the musical with the message to see past shallow differences.

“Our differences are only surface differences,” Guerin said. “How we look, what we speak, our socioeconomic

circumstances — they’re just surface. Underneath, we are all longing for love, safety and security. We all want those things. We are not that differ-ent.”

Green said he hopes the violent world of “West Side Story” will make an impres-sion on the audience and leave them inspired to make a change.

“Hopefully by the end of the show the audience will want to do their part, give back to the world and love so that the world of ‘West Side Story’ doesn’t become a real-ity,” Green said.

MSC OPAS will host the show at 7:30 pm on Tuesday and Wednesday in Rudder Theatre. Due to strong lan-guage, violence and sensitive subject matter, a parental ad-visory has been suggested for those with children under 13.

about 300 people there.”Keller said he hopes there is a good turnout

of Aggies at Sunday’s game as well.Reid Joseph, Texas A&M student body

president, said he is optimistic the Lonestar Showdown will rekindle the spirit of the 118-year-old Texas-Texas A&M rivalry.

“By no means are we intending to replace the rivalry — nothing could — but in the spirit of it we are trying to promote this,” Jo-seph said. “Overall, students on both campuses would like to see the rivalry continue.”

Villarreal said there is a definite benefit to this revival.

“It is cool because it is still burnt orange and maroon playing each other, something we have always been used to and something that most of us at UT and A&M have grown up with,” Villarreal said. “I think anything that

continues with rivalry per say — whether it is recreational sports or Division I — I think benefits us both.”

Villarreal said he hopes the Lonestar Show-down will continue after his term as SBP ends.

“Hopefully this continues to grow and we can add more sports in the future and that this could become something that is pretty much institutionalized,” Villarreal said.

Joseph said there are always rumors of rein-stating the Division I rivalry between the two schools, but said no official word has been given.

Joseph said he hopes students who were once excited about the Division I matchups will exhibit that same support for the Aggies during the games on Sunday.

“We want to encourage any and all stu-dents to come out and support our Ags on to a Fightin’ Texas Aggie victory,” Joseph said.

The basketball showdown will be at 12:30 p.m. Sunday at the Student Recreation Cen-ter.

behavioral health resourc-es for our community have not met our citizens’ needs,” Berry said. “To-day that’s going to change. We’re not just adding to our medical district, we’re also adding to the quality of life for this entire region.”

Berry said before this opening, Brazos County lacked adequate specialized medical services and facili-ties necessary to meet the needs of people suffering with mental or behavioral health issues.

Christopher Kirk, event speaker and Brazos County Sheriff, said the commu-nity now has access to a facility that will eliminate the transportation to other sites.

Kirk said the additional hospital beds translate to better treatment for those who need medical or psy-chological attention. In-stead of sending these cases elsewhere, the individuals can now receive treatment immediately.

“In the last year, we’ve done 793 civil transports [and] our Crisis Interven-tion Team deputies have responded to 347 calls and we’ve diverted 184 indi-viduals from jail,” Kirk said. “It’s a successful program and we continue with it, but there has always been one critical component to the CIT that we lacked and that was treatment beds. But now we have it.”

The Behavioral Health team also plans to establish

a relationship with the col-lege community. Anthony Moore, director of business development for Strategic Behavioral Health, said it is vital to meet the needs of this population as well.

“When you go through the crisis intervention, in the analysis they decide what your future program should be, whether you need to continue in a group or seek medical advice,” Berry said. “Whatever it is, they’ll take care of you.”

Moore said Strategic Be-havioral Health has plans to reach out to several Texas A&M entities. A partner-ship with the A&M Health Science Center and the Student Counseling Center and future educational pro-grams for students at A&M may soon be in the works.

“We want to try to part-ner with the departments such as the medical field and psychology in order to develop a residency pro-gram to teach and train stu-dents, so there are a num-ber of opportunities within Texas A&M and we are looking forward to getting involved with that partner-ship,” Moore said.

Duane Runyan, Class of 1988 and CEO of Rock Prairie Behavioral Health, said there is no place he’d rather be than College Sta-tion and being able to build this hospital is humbling.

“The core of what we do is change lives and we do that through compas-sion and through service,” Runyan said. “That’s what we do at Strategic and that’s what we will do at Rock Prairie.”

Maroon Coats, an orga-nization that represents

the student body to Univer-sity donors, inducted 17 new members Friday at the Jon L. Hagler Center.

The new members were chosen through a three-stage process of essays, socials and interviews that whittled a group of 186 applicants down to 17. The organization at-tends donor events through-out the year and represents the student body at fundraiser meetings.

David Trigg, 2014-2015 Corps Commander and Ma-roon Coats inductee, said the experience of being chosen was humbling.

“I’d say that I’m stepping among people who truly love and have incredible passion for A&M and I hope I can live my life with such high character as they do,” Trigg said.

As a scholarship recipi-ent, Trigg said he hopes the experience will give him the chance to thank donors for the opportunities afforded to students by removing such financial burdens. Trigg said Maroon Coats offers a more impactful means of saying ‘thank you’ to donors than University officials can.

“It is far more impactful

for donors to shake the hand of a student who is truly, truly filled with gratitude at the op-portunity they gave them,” Trigg said.

Kyle Kelly, Student Body President-elect and Maroon Coats member, said he is ex-cited to work with the new inductees.

“It’s a great group of peo-ple,” Kelly said. “They’re just great leaders from around campus who are very ambi-tious, work hard and love A&M.”

After more than 70 years, the Holocaust remains a topic of discussion and analysis as survivors continue to share their personal stories with younger generations.

As a young child, Glauben, his father, mother and young-er brother were forced to live in the Warsaw Ghetto be-ginning in 1940. He and his family were later deported to the Majdanek concentration camp in Lublin, Poland.

Because his mother and younger brother were

deemed unsuitable for work, they were sentenced to im-mediate death. His father was later killed and Glauben be-came an orphan at 13.

Alec said he feels fortunate to have his grandfather share his story with the A&M com-munity.

“When I was younger, I almost didn’t understand the significance of what my grandfather went through,” Alec said. “As you grow up and mature, you get some-thing different out of it. I understood a bit better the hardship he went through and I’ve gained a huge respect for that.”

GlaubenContinued from page 1

Glauben was transferred to several other labor camps. He was liberated by Ameri-can troops in 1945 while on a death march toward Dachau, a Nazi concentration camp in Germany.

In 1947, Glauben arrived in the U.S. and was placed in the care of a Jewish family in Atlanta. He now lives in Dallas and works to share his story with others at the Dallas Holocaust Museum and on school visits.

Alec said he continually uses his grandfather’s story as an example in his daily life.

“I’ve been more apprecia-tive for what I have in life,”

Alec said. “He was pulled out of school and would have to smuggle food into the ghetto to feed his family at 9 years old.”

Jonathan Rahmani, com-munity liaison for A&M Hil-lel and junior kinesiology major, said all A&M students could benefit from attending this lecture.

“We as Aggies have our own high moral ground,” Rahmani said. “Standing up for what you believe in even if others say something’s wrong with it. That’s what we’re supposed to do.”

Rahmani applied Glauben’sstory to the Aggie Honor

Code.“As an Aggie, we don’t

lie, cheat or steal, nor toler-ate those who do,” Rahmani said. “So we’re not going to allow someone to steal an-other’s life. We’re not going to allow them to lie to the people with propaganda. In the Holocaust they cheated out families — you’re steal-ing from them, stealing the opportunity to live and pros-per. We as Aggies can learn from this too.”

Rabbi Matt Rosenberg, executive director of A&M Hillel, said it is important for students of all backgrounds to know about and learn from

the Holocaust and that the lecture serves as an excellent opportunity to do so.

“For us Jews, we’ve inter-nalized it and we remember it, but others were the cause of it,” Rosenberg said. “I think it’s a human problem and we see with the geno-cide in Rwanda, which we right now are remembering the 20th anniversary of. We need to be vigilant, we need to know and we need to re-member our history.”

The event will be from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in MSC 2406.
