Johnny Suspended

Q:thebattasks
What’s your opinion on
Manziel getting
suspended?
Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel will be a spec-tator for Saturday’s season opening game against Rice, but only for the first half.
A&M and the NCAA announced Wednesday in a press release that while there is no evidence Manziel received money in exchange for autographs, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner will be suspended for half of the football game against Rice on Saturday.
Manziel was ruled ineligible after an “inadver-tent violation regarding the signing of certain autographs,” according to the press release.
“The problem with Manziel is that he
shouldn’t be treated like that. They should let him play because that’s his only way of creating
fans to get himself promoted and make his way up. Get up to where his dreams are, make it
to the pros.”

Bow tie sized void to fill in Aggielandpresidential search
Photo Illustration by Tanner Garza — THE BATTALION
The hunt for University President R. Bow-en Loftin’s replacement is now underway,
as A&M System Chancellor John Sharp an-nounced Wednesday the names of nine com-mittee members who will search for presidential candidates.
The Presidential Search Advisory Committee — made of seven voting and two non-voting members — will nominate three applicants by February, said Reid Joseph, Student Body President and non-voting member. The three nominations will be presented to the Board of Regents.
The Board of Regents will then make a final decision.
According to a University press release, the search process will be guided by Kenneth Kring, co-managing director for the Global Education practice, who has experience placing more than 250 executive positions.
Joseph said the voting members of the com-mitte are made up of faculty, administration and former students and were chosen by the University system. He said they will consider numerous characteristics in applicants, but the exact qualities they will look for will not be fi-nalized until later this month.
“I can tell you without a doubt we will be looking for someone who lives, demonstrates and has had a life-long commitment to the six core Aggie values of excellence, integrity, lead-ership, loyalty, respect and selfless service,” he said.
Joseph said although he is unable to vote, he will still partake in all discussions.
“I act as the voice of the student body and it’s quite an honor to do so,” Joseph said.
“It’s an extreme honor to be on such a com-mittee and to represent the students on it, espe-cially when it’s such a high-profile position such as the University president.”

Reveille VII, retired A&M mascot, died in May due to pneumonia after complications from emergency surgery.
Funeral plans scheduled for Reveille VII
memorial service
A memorial honoring retired Rev-eille VII, who died in May,
will take place Sept. 6 in Reed Are-na, with notable changes from past Reveille funerals.
The past memorials for the “First Lady of Aggieland” were on Kyle Field and organized by students. They have included a 21-gun salute and the playing of taps and were followed by the burial of the mascot in front of Kyle Field.
Reveille VII’s memorial will con-tain a moment of silence instead of a prayer and will not be followed by a burial, due to plans to exhume
former Reveilles during the Kyle Field renovation.
Jake Lawson, senior agricultural communications and journalism major, said he didn’t understand the reasons for the changes.
“I honestly think they should keep it traditional,” Lawson said. “Even with the renovation, I don’t see why they can’t hold it in Kyle Field. If we’re a traditional school and we like to keep our traditions, why would we change that one? That’s one of the biggest ones.”
Jonathan Bezile, freshman mechani-cal engineering major, said he under-stood the location change and why taps could be inappropriate for Reveille VII’s service, despite tradition.

Q:thebattasks Do you consider your first week
of school a success?
“I’d say it’s been a success. My schedule has been pretty relaxing, all my classes are
simple and it hasn’t been too hard.”
Austin Zen, freshman biology major
“I would consider my first week a success. I’ve met a lot of people, my classes seem really cool and challenging and my professors really care about us and are willing
to teach us.”Emeri Bradford, freshman psychology major
“I was really nervous and felt really small,
but once I got to my classes I felt a lot better. The professors were
really nice and I feel it’s going to be a great semester.”
Sarah Murphy, freshman business administration
major
“This week hasn’t been great. I never thought my classes would get so hard so quickly, so the books and
homework have been a lot. I already have a quiz on Friday, so it’s already getting to me.”
Oswaldo Veliz, freshman Blinn Team student
“This week hasn’t been a success. All the books have been piling up — all the work too — and the transition from high school has been different, so the stress is getting to
me. I’m trying to work on time management, so next week will be better.”
Sasha Ponce, freshman forensic science major
From page 1: What’s your opinion on Manziel getting
suspended?
“I really don’t care. I mean, the fact that
the NCAA is trying to accuse him, they
don’t have any substantial evidence. I don’t see why they should really have to
take him out for half a game.”
William Dawson Jr., junior environmental design
major
“I feel frustrated with the whole situation. I love what he’s doing for A&M, but some of his actions
I don’t agree with. He’s free to do what he wants. I’m not gonna tell someone what they can and cannot do, but I wish he could separate his
personal life from his fame at A&M. I realize that’s not going to happen, but I just don’t like the light
that casts on this school.”
Paul Polis, senior philosophy major

The two institutions came to a conclusion after evaluating currently available information and statements from Manziel himself.
“Texas A&M University would like to thank the NCAA staff, not only for its fairness and professionalism throughout this process, but also for the expediency of its actions,” Di-rector of Athletics Eric Hyman said in a state-ment. “Texas A&M is a proud member of the NCAA and the Southeastern Conference and, as such, we will continue to abide by the rules governing the association and the conference.”
In order to be reinstated by the NCAA, Manziel will face the suspension and must ad-dress the A&M team regarding the situation and the lessons he learned.
Texas A&M will also revisit its future education in regard to student-athlete auto-graphs for individuals with multiple items.
“Texas A&M is committed to compet-ing with integrity and sportsmanship, and we will continue to en-sure strict compliance guidelines for our stu-dent-athletes, coaches and supporters,” Hy-man said.
The NCAA said in the release if addi-tional information comes to light it will con-sider whether further action is appropriate. According to the release, Texas A&M and the NCAA will have no further comment on the matter.
“Student athletes are often asked for auto-graphs from fans, but unfortunately, some in-dividuals’ sole motivation in seeking an auto-graph is for resale,” said Kevin Lennon, NCAA vice president of academic and membership af-fairs. “It is important that schools are cognizant and educate student-athletes about situations in which there is a strong likelihood that the auto-graph seeker plans to resell the items.”
Earlier this month, ESPN reported that the NCAA was investigating whether Manziel was paid for signing autographs several times throughout the 2012 football season and into the bowl season.
Through fall practices, Texas A&M players and coaches were informed not to speak on the
Manziel allegations. The announced suspension came 48 hours before the Aggies kick off the 2013 season.
“I am proud of the way both Coach Sumlin and Johnny handled this situation, with integ-rity and honesty,” said A&M System Chancel-lor John Sharp. “We all take the Aggie Code of Honor very seriously, and there is no evidence that either the University or Johnny violated that code.”
The same Texas A&M students who cele-brated an 11-win season and Heisman Trophy a year ago, reacted to the news of Manziel’s one half suspension.
“Honestly, I’m not surprised,” said Arielle Hess, junior agricultural communications and journalism major. “I believe the only reason he got any sort of punishment at all is because the NCAA needed to save some face.”
With the NCAA unable to obtain evidence, many students felt in limbo during the whole process, not knowing who the starting quar-terback would be just days before the season began.
“From what I have heard, it has been very difficult to produce ac-tual evidence against Manziel in the inves-tigation other than hearsay,” said Chase Mazzilli, junior me-chanical engineering major. “If the NCAA is to maintain a stan-
dard of integrity, I feel they would need more than just circumstantial evidence to rightly punish him. As for the half-game suspension, I feel that if he had been found guilty, the pun-ishment should have been more severe. A half -game suspension is somewhat insignificant this early in the season.”
As students pulled tickets and ate meals on campus, talk of Saturday’s game took a certain turn for the positive as a collective sigh of relief from the student body was let out.
“As an A&M student, I can only hope that this autograph ordeal and the rest of this hec-tic offseason can be put in the past,” said An-drew Hoefer, sophomore Blinn Team student. “With the start of the season, people will hope-fully shift their focus from actions off the field to what happens on it.”
Texas A&M and Rice are set to kick off at noon Saturday at Kyle Field with the game broadcast on ESPN.

alive, but at the same time, I don’t think it matters where the service is held,” he said.
Tonya Woelfel, sophomore education ma-jor, said because of Reveille’s position in the Corps of Cadets, the mascot should be held in higher regard.
“I feel like they should keep [the memo-rial] like it was because she’s such a respected member of the Corps,” she said. “She should get that honor like all of the other ones have.”
Freshman mechanical engineering major
Daniel Cullison said he thinks the tradition of taps should be reserved for the men and women who serve the country.
“Taps is one of the respects, I feel, for our military,” Cullison said. “[I’m] not necessarily degrading Reveille but [it’s about] honoring our soldiers.”
Reveille VII was retired in 2008 and was euthanized in May due to complications from pneumonia and emergency surgery for a rup-tured ulcer.
Corps of Cadets Company E-2, which is responsible for the care of Reveille during her time as mascot, could not be immediately reached for comment.

Students from across the country and the world traveled to the place “where dreams
come true” this summer to study with Mickey and all the Disney characters through the Dis-ney College Program.
“There are literally thousands of jobs for stu-dents,” said Cami Bryant, junior sports man-agement major and campus representative for Texas A&M. “There are 14 departments, and students are anything from character performers to vacation planners.”
Bryant said she decided to participate after seeing a poster advertising the program.
“I’d always been a Disney fan,” Bryant said. “I knew I wanted to do something adventurous and a little bit crazy, so I just went for it.”
Molly Livingstone, Class of 2013, said she chose the program after seeing what the job market was like.
“I have been faced with the job market being as difficult as people say it is,” Livingstone said. “Getting to work for a Fortune 500 company like the Walt Disney Company seemed like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
Since joining the program and staying at the Columbia Harborhouse in the Magic King-dom, Livingstone said she has found the expe-rience rewarding.
“The experience definitely has taught me how to adapt, learn new skills and work with new people,” Livingstone said. “These are all valuable things that I’m going to use for the rest of my life.”
The program is not just for fans of Disney, Livingstone said, but also for anyone who de-sires a rewarding internship experience. It offers current undergraduate, graduating and graduate students the opportunity to work in positions across the parks.
“I recommend it to anyone really,” Liv-ingstone said. “It really has taught me that we should be appreciative of detail. Everyone should have this experience because it teaches you the value of a dollar and humility.”
Amy McClintock, senior interdisciplinary studies major, said she heard about the intern-ship in high school. Going in, she said she ex-pected to work a lot, but also have fun.
“I did work a lot, between 40 and 50 hours a week,” McClintock said. “Pretty much any time I had off I went to the parks with my friends and roommates.”
Since going into the program as a safari driv-er in the Animal Kingdom, McClintock found she enjoyed the job enough to consider work-ing with Disney after she graduates.
“It had more to do with education and teaching than I thought because I had to tell people about all of the animals,” McClintock said. “I learned a lot about animals and guest interaction, customer service and how Disney runs such a big operation.”
Calling the experience a “dream come true,” McClintock said prospective interns should know the program is hard work, but reward-ing. It’s not all work and no play though, Bry-ant said, as the program offers more than insight and experience.
“As part of the college program, you get into all the Disney parks, all the Disney resorts for free,” Bryant said. “Disney basically becomes your playground.”

thursday 8.29.2013
After a March 2011 groundbreaking, the massive structure located off of Highway
6 and Rock Prairie Road is functioning as Scott & White’s new hospital.
The complex opened for operations Aug. 19 and includes a five-floor hospital building and medical offices offering numerous ser-vices from cancer and neuroscience centers to surgical and rehabilitation services. The com-plex will not only be able to meet the health-care needs of Brazos County, but provide a learning opportunity for Blinn and Texas A&M students.
Jason Jennings, Class of 1995 and chief ex-ecutive officer of the Scott & White College Station region, said the hospital “embraces” its relationship with Texas A&M and plans to provide college students with volunteer op-portunities and part-time jobs. The volunteer opportunities will not be limited to pre-nurs-ing or pre-medical students.
“Health care goes beyond nursing or physi-cians,” Jennings said. “Anybody who might be pre-health or anyone who just wants to give back to the community will definitely be welcome here.”
Jennings said the hospital has already em-ployed students for part-time work. Students can work in administrative areas or as con-cierge associates, escorting people through the hospital and acting as a resource for the family members or friends of the patient.
“It’s just an extra extension, just like a con-cierge [in a] hotel,” Jennings said. “We try to employ the hospital to create a more home-feel environment, and we have several college students who are doing a great job of that.”
The recent merger of the Texas A&M
Health Science Center into the Texas A&M University system brought with it more stu-dents requiring more training sites. The hospi-tal will be available for students to train in their clinical rotations.
“I know the nursing school is excited about having more opportunities, because they’re wanting to grow the numbers they can seat to a class,” said Jasmine Cochran, an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nurse at the new hospital .
ICU nurse Julie Roman said more clinical rotation sites will help students accrue more clinical hours.
“Students will be able to come through and follow nurses and doctors and be able to see what they are studying in action,” Ro-man said. “Having another location will just help accommodate and give students more exposure.”
Roman said before the hospital’s official opening, Blinn and Texas A&M nursing stu-dents at the Health Science Center were able to work with hospital staff and practice pro-cedural code simulations in the hospital. The codes ranged from enacting patient scenarios to emergency situations.
“The purpose is to make sure that we have what we need to run efficiently,” Roman said. “The students could come in and not only could they witness and learn from that, but actually participate.”
Jennings said Scott & White has been a pres-ence in Brazos County since the mid-1980s. With the Brazos County population continu-ing to grow, Jennings said the hospital would complete the “last step of care” for Scott and White facilities in the area.
“Scott & White is known for being a teaching and research institution,” Co-chran said. “I think it will open a lot of great opportunities.”
