Parents’ Weekend plans spring game alternatives

With Kyle Field construc-tion underway, Parents’

Weekend organizers have made alternative plans for two staple events of the weekend — Mid-night Yell and the Maroon and White football game.

Leslie Jones, director of the Parents’ Weekend committee, said there was concern when

Parents’ Weekend committee members realized they could not host a Maroon and White foot-ball game due to the state of Kyle Field. Jones said the committee instead decided to make Taste of Aggieland the main event for Saturday.

This is the third year Taste of Aggieland has been featured dur-ing Parent’s Weekend, and this year will include appearances from local food vendors and performances by groups such as Apotheosis and the Yell Leaders.

Jones said the committee has received some feedback from students and parents concerned

about the lack of a spring football game, but Jones said most people understood, given the circum-stances.

“I think it’s just one of those things where people understand that we can’t do it, so there’s not really a whole lot we can do,” Jones said. “We tried our best, we talked to athletics about their decision-making process, but in the end it just wasn’t something that could happen this year and I think people have been really understanding of that.”

At concentration camp sites, one can find build-ings, rooms and artifacts

that provide visitors a glimpse into the horrors of the Holocaust. Max Glauben, a Holocaust survi-vor from Warsaw, Poland, does what the artifacts cannot do — share his experience.

Glauben gave his account and memories of the Holocaust and his life in the Warsaw Ghetto to more than 300 students on Wednesday evening. From these experiences, he explained the power of perseverance through adversity as he shared his thoughts of how future generations can

learn from the Holocaust as well as his hope and confidence in fu-ture generations.

Glauben said society’s current students have been raised to have values and respect for identity, which empowers a generation of what Glauben calls “upstanders,” or those who stick up for what they know and believe is right.

“Look at this generation,” Glauben said. “You aren’t spanked or punished for wearing a certain shirt. You are encour-aged to be individuals by your parents.”

Glauben also commented on how society has the technology to empower the public to make decisions between right and

wrong and between good and bad people.

“You can text or talk on the telephone. You must realize all of these advancements,” Glauben said. “Adam and Eve had brains just like yours. All of these ad-vancements were made by brains as good as yours and your brain can choose to treat others as you want to be treated.”

The lecture was hosted by Texas A&M Hillel, an organiza-tion for Jewish students at Texas A&M. Veronica Beskin, Jewish student life coordinator at Hil-lel, said she felt the event was a success.

Evening to ‘fuse’ talents together

Members of Aggie ARTISTS will fuse their creative and artistic talents to-

gether for an evening aimed at creating a force of change.

Fusion, an annual benefit concert and art sale hosted by ARTISTS, chooses a new ministry each year to receive the funds raised at the event. This year, ARTISTS will donate all proceeds to Save Our Streets Ministries in Bryan.

The evening will include live music, stu-dent art, coffee and baked goods, said Han-nah Childs, freshman business administra-tion major and ARTISTS member.

The art at Fusion is not confined to one medium, said Sam Holton, sophomore fi-nance major.

“We have our canvas works, anything that is painted on canvas,” Holton said. “We sell a lot of photography, just basic prints. One year we had a girl who made

game has not always been held the same weekend as Parents’ Weekend and the athletics de-partment held discussions about alternative venues for the spring football game last fall and earlier this semester.

“Because of the Kyle Field project, obviously we cannot host a spring football game with-out a stadium to play it in,” Cook said. “We discussed a lot of differ-ent options. Do we have a small game somewhere in the commu-nity, on our practice fields, pos-sibly in Houston at Reliant Sta-dium? Every discussion or every possibility we looked at had some

significant obstacles that needed to be addressed, so we made the decision in conjunction with the football program that we sim-ply would not have a traditional spring football game this year.”

Cook said even without the football game, A&M should still expect many visitors for the weekend.

“There’s so much more to Texas A&M and our University outside of football, so I think there’s a multitude of events that are happening on campus and athletics with softball,” Cook

The cricket club has a new home, cour-tesy of Rec Sports.

A new cricket pitch was constructed at the Texas A&M polo fields for the Aggie Cricket Club. Rec Sports provided ap-proximately $8,000 for the pitch, which sits next to the rugby field.

A pitch is a strip of short grass where the bowler throws the ball to the batsman said Raheel Zubairy, cricket club president and petroleum engineering graduate student.

Zubairy said he is excited for the club to have a permanent home on campus, which will help the club continue growing.

“The club has been growing consistent-ly and participating in these tournaments, and that is something Rec Sports took into account,” Zubairy said.

The club previously played at the Uni-versity Apartments, using a foot path as a makeshift pitch. The club then raised funds, with help from the University, and helped the apartments remove the path and turn it into a pitch.

When a portion of the apartments was demolished for redevelopment last May, the pitch the club had constructed was de-stroyed, leaving the club without a suitable ground to play on. The group temporarily played on Duncan Field, but Tahsin Alim, club member and electrical engineering graduate student, said the lack of a pitch and an uneven field made playing difficult.

“Playing on grass is as good as not play-ing,” Alim said.

Despite less-than-adequate play-ing conditions, the club was still able to make its fourth-straight appearance in the American College Cricket National Tour-nament, Zubairy said. Though the team was unable to earn a win in any of its three matches, Zubairy said the new pitch will help the club enjoy greater success in the future by providing a quality area to prac-tice on.

Zubairy credited their previous suc-

cess to the fact that the club had a proper ground and league tournament every se-mester, and when the best players were chosen for the Texas A&M team, they had considerable match practice. The club will use that same approach in the coming years on the new pitch, Zubairy said.

With the new pitch, Anand Ghatty, club member and computer engineering graduate student, said the club hopes to bolster its numbers and begin hosting both intramural and extramural tournaments again.

“Once we get this pitch and ground ready, we can invite other colleges,” Ghat-ty said. “That’s our plan for the future.”

Zubairy said the ultimate goal of the club is to become a full member of Rec Sports, which will help them to organize their matches and tournaments.

“The club is going in the right direc-tion and the Rec Sports wants us to con-tinue developing interest in cricket here and keep participating in inter-university match-ups,” Zubairy said.

Ghatty said the members of the cricket

club are thankful for the new pitch, as it provides students with an opportunity not expected at A&M.

“Coming from India where we play lots of cricket, I never thought you would be able to play cricket here,” Ghatty said. “In the U.S. it’s not so popular. But when the Rec offered us the pitch, the pitch [they provided] is exceptional. The ground is huge; the facilities are really good. It’s re-ally helpful for people who are interested. They have a place to play now, they have a pitch which is world class.”

Alim said the club invites anyone inter-ested in cricket to play with the club on Saturdays, regardless of experience level. The club is organized by level of expe-rience, Zubairy said, to get everyone in-volved in the game.

Through their new pitch, the club and its members hope to continue to spread the game they love so much to the rest of the student body.

“People are very passionate about this game,” Zubairy said. “There is no sport in my opinion that drives as much passion as cricket.”

A FIELD OF THEIR OWN

Tanner Garza — THE BATTALION

Team members practice at the new cricket pitch, located near the rugby fields.

A group of graduate stu-dents hopes to show

students across the University that the study of neuroscience is more than just lab work — it’s an art form.

The Texas A&M Institute for Neuroscience’s sixth-an-nual, student-run neurosci-ence symposium will feature the works of both students and postdoctoral researchers.

Jocelyn Seemann, graduate student representative for the institute, said Friday’s sympo-sium will be more developed than the previous five, which will allow the group to reach more students.

While the symposium will offer an array of research, See-mann said keynote speaker Jeff Lichtman is of particular interest. Lichtman is a Har-vard professor and published scientist in the field of con-nectomics, or the mapping of the neural connections in the brain using 3-D imaging techniques.

Seemann said Lichtman is accessible to students because of the artistry of his work in mapping neural connections

and because of his engaging speaking style.

“People who aren’t sci-entists can enjoy him and we know that scientists will absolutely love his presenta-tion,” Seemann said. “He ends up with these incredibly high-definition reconstruc-tions of brain tissue that are beautiful. Most people know what a neuron is, but this is seeing for the first time how they exist in these really com-plex structures in the brain in a beautiful visual way, which is engaging for anyone.”

Ian Smith, neuroscience graduate student, said the many aspects of Lichtman’s research provide something interesting for everyone in

the audience.“Even if you weren’t nec-

essarily interested in science alone, engineers would be very interested in it because of the structural aspect of it, given that you have to build these three-dimensional rep-resentations of the brain,” Smith said. “The same would be true of people who are interested in cameras or im-aging in general or even art. The purest form of art is the human body and this is true even more so at the cellular level. These things can be tru-ly spectacular, as far as visual aesthetics are concerned.”

Jane Welsh, neuroscience institute chair, said attend-ing the symposium can give audience members a sense of the diverse accomplishments made in labs every day.

“The great thing about the symposium is that it is completely organized by the graduate students,” Welsh said. “Attending the sympo-sium gives you a sense of the broad spectrum of research that’s going on within the institute.”

Seemann said the long-term goal for the symposium

is to create an environment where researchers across the state can compare notes with peers that normally wouldn’t be easily accessible.

“In the long term, one of the goals is to create a place where graduate students across Texas can come,” See-mann said.

Seemann said the way the institute is organized reflects the diverse aspects of all neu-roscience fields. Established in 2010, Seemann said the insti-tute is composed of 80 faculty members across eight different colleges within the University.

“The institute reflects the new nature of how science needs to be structured,” See-mann said. “It’s highly interdis-ciplinary. Instead of structuring academia through departments like the chemistry department or biology department, we developed fields that interface with biology, psychology and computer science to answer questions about the brain.”

Breakfast will be served at 8:30 a.m. and the first of 10 symposium speakers will pres-ent at 9 a.m. While tickets are not required, those wanting to attend are advised to register at the neuroscience institute website.

clothing. It’s anything that people want to make and donate and call art.”

Fusion will be held at the DUFI gardens, an urban farming initiative in Downtown Bryan, Holton said. The space is very earthy and “down home,” he said, which is reflective of the ARTISTS members themselves.

“The space out there is super cool,” Holton said. “It’s really kind of eclectic, and just like it’s not your typical shiny stage.”

Nicole Bartley, junior finance major and ARTISTS member, has volunteered with Save Our Streets for a year and is involved in a number of their programs, such as teaching chess and sewing classes. The ministry tailors to the kid’s hobbies and fosters skills that are useful in life, she said.

Bartley said the reason behind Fusion was simple.

“It’s important as Aggies and as ARTISTS members to be aware,” Bartley said. “We’re called to serve.”

The event will benefit Save Our Streets Ministries, which reaches out to more than 500 people each year in an effort to prevent gang violence and helps at-risk children and families, said Jolynn Easter, Class of 2012 and ministry program coordinator. Easter said there is a place at Save Our Streets for those in need, and Save Our Streets programs include camping trips, after-school care and Bible studies.

Easter said Save Our Streets Ministries meets a need in Bryan-College Station.

“It reaches people that sometimes get lost and helps them see worth in their value,” Eas-ter said.

Fusion will be held at 7 p.m. Saturday at the DUFI garden between the Sead Gallery and the Village Cafe in Bryan.

Environmentalist and au-thor Bill McKibben will

give lectures Thursday and Friday on global warming and the international movement to end the use of fossil fuels as an energy source.

Phillip Rollfing, Texas A&M director of communi-cations and public relations for the College of Archi-tecture, said McKibben will speak on the science behind global warming and what can

be done to reverse the trend. “His main avenue in this

is to cut back our reliance on fossil fuels,” Rollfing said. “It is his belief that we have gotten to the point where it is already happening and that what we can do now is to try to stem the tide, so to speak.”

Rollfing said he hopes the students who attend the lec-tures will take away a deep-er understanding of global warming.

“We hear this all the time through the media, you know

‘global warming,’ and you know, ‘receding ice caps,’ then, you know, it’s very much an issue in the news today,” Rollfing said. “And hopefully anyone that goes will take away a better under-standing of what’s going on and what can be done about it.”

The lectures will be at 7 p.m. Thursday in Rudder Theatre and 10:30 a.m. Friday in the Preston Geren Audito-rium at the Langford Archi-tecture Center.

said. “One of our tennis teams is in town, so there are still events for Parents’ Weekend visitors to attend.”

Midnight Yell was also moved because of Kyle Field construction, Jones said, and has been relocated to the Liberal Arts and Hu-manities Building amphitheater.

“We worked really closely with Rudder Theatre Complex and we went through every possible option from places on west campus to Olsen Field and we finally decided on the Liberal Arts and Humanities Building,” Jones said. “We’re actually really excited about this because it’s a great way to showcase this new building on campus.”

Jason Muchow, University Center and special events associate director, said his office worked with Jones and the Parents’ Weekend committee to find the alternative location for Midnight Yell. While Muchow said he ex-pects fewer people at this Midnight Yell, the

location of the event has been changed many times before.

“I know that attendance will be hurt be-cause of it,” Muchow said. “We all are kind of going into it knowing that, but I still think it’s something neat and something a lot of parents have never experienced and so I still think it’s going to be a lot of fun.”

Muchow said in situations like this, the key to making the events successful is to spread the word as effectively as possible.

“The biggest [solution] is getting the word out, making sure that people know,” Muchow said. “For Midnight Yell it’s easy, it’s going to happen at midnight. There’s not a lot of events that somebody else is going to schedule on top of that.”

Jones said the committee is focusing on promoting the Midnight Yell as a unique and different experience for parents to attend.

“We’re trying to play up that this Midnight Yell will be different, but different in a really great way,” Jones said. “It’s going to be a to-tally new experience for everybody.”

Beskin said she was amazed at Glauben’s resilience through adversity and at the hope he displayed throughout the Holocaust and in his hope for the future.

“He taught us to have faith and keep going through some of the toughest moments one can ever face in their life,” Be-skin said.

Glauben’s granddaughter, Delaney Becker, freshman al-lied health major, said she was proud of her grandfather as well as the students who went to the event.

“He is able to pass on the story and the upstanding val-ue,” Becker said, “He realized that life must go on.”

Glauben recounted his eight trips on the March of

the Living, a march that youth from across the world take from Auschwitz to Birkenau on Holocaust Remembrance Day.

“I noticed, then, that the

artifacts at these places can’t talk,” Glauben said. “So that’s why I do. I speak for the 11 million who couldn’t, who died during the darkest period in our history.”
