Last season on the road, Texas A&M exacted a dominating 63-21 victory over Southeastern
Conference division rival Auburn, scoring at-will throughout the night on a Tiger squad in disarray under former head coach Gene Chizik.
One season later, Auburn prepares for a Saturday visit to Kyle Field under new leadership — Gus Mal-zahn — and a Tiger team with many of last year’s players.
A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin compared Au-burn’s current team to last year’s surging Aggie squad, which finished the season 11-2 with an upset of top-ranked and future national champion Alabama.
“They’re 5-1, and they’re ranked 24th in the country,” Sumlin said. “They’re very different than the team we played last year. It’s a bit like where we were last year. They’ve got a new coach, new energy, new players and they’re playing with confidence. It might be the same guys, but it’s a completely different football team from an attitude standpoint.”
Sophomore quarterback Johnny Manziel and A&M’s offensive system produced 49 points in just over two quarters of play last season,
In a lecture at the Annenberg Presidential Center Tuesday night, former senior advisor to President Barack Obama, David Axelrod,
spoke on his experiences with the Obama ad-ministration.
Through anecdotes, Axelrod explained what it took to work in the Oval Office and what it means to be a public servant.
Axelrod said the responsibilities of being in the Oval Office became apparent on inaugural day, when he was informed there could be a potential terrorist act in Washington. Axelrod said his family was going to church with the Obama and Bush family that day.
“When my wife and my son left, I wanted to tell them not to go, but I was told not to say anything and I didn’t,” Axelrod said. “So even before we took office, I got a sense of what the burdens and responsibilities of leadership were.”
Axelrod said he was forced to put his personal life and needs aside at times to perform as an effective advisor. Despite almost going bank-rupt when health insurance wouldn’t cover his daughter’s health condition, Axelrod said it was his job to advise the president against the current health care reform.
“I understood the need for health reform in a very per-sonal way, but my job was to give him the political ad-vice,” Axelrod said.
Reduced to tears the night the health care package passed, Axelrod said he thanked the president as a father and on behalf of the millions of Americans who wouldn’t ex-perience the pressures he had personally felt.
“[Obama] put his hand on my shoulder and said ‘Well, that’s why we do the work,’” Axelrod said. “That stuck with me. That’s why

The Texas A&M Gradu-ate Student Council (GSC)
convened for their bimonthly meeting Tuesday night, where members addressed the Student Senate resolution to denounce the creation of a graduate student wildcat .
Ryan Beemer, head of the marketing committee for the GSC and civil engineering gradu-ate student, said he urged GSC members to attend Wednesday’s Student Senate meeting to en-courage representatives to vote against the resolution.
“The Student Government As-sociation is actually voting on our resolution to try to stop us from having a wildcat,” Beemer said, “So if you were pro-wildcat, then
I would encourage you to find your senator, since the Student Government Association tech-nically represents us as well, and try to convince them that we should have a wildcat.”
Beemer said he encouraged his fellow graduate students and all undergraduates to become more informed about the GSC’s opinion on having a wildcat, as well as the history of the tradi-tion itself.
“[GSC President Brittany Bounds] wrote a wonderful guest column about it in The Battalion and [GSC member Kevin Andrews] put up a great video on the history of the wild-cat tradition on campus,” Beemer said. “Go on our Facebook and check those out.”
Bounds also said GSC members should make their voices heard by joining her at the Student Senate meeting.
“If you would like to join me in standing up for the Graduate Student wildcat, I would definite-
ly welcome you,” Bounds said. The meeting also featured

Caleb Tate, sophomore university stud-ies major and member of Company P-2,
died Tuesday evening from injuries suffered in a motorcycle accident, a hospital official said.
Corps Commander Eric Gil said Tate will be honored at an Echo Taps ceremony at 10:30 p.m. Thursday on the Quad.
Tate was traveling on a motorcycle north-bound on Texas Avenue when a convertible, occupied by two people, pulled out in front of
him from Southwest Parkway, according to a press release from the College Station Police Department.
CSPD said Tate suffered incapacitating in-juries from the collision and was transferred to the College Station Medical Center. The occupants of the convertible suffered non-in-capacitating injuries and were also sent to the medical center.
Echo Taps is a Corps of Cadets tradition held for national tragedies and to remember current members of the Corps who pass away. It is similar to Silver Taps, but geared more
toward cadets, and takes place soon after the occurrence of the event.
During the Echo Taps ceremony, one bugler plays a rendition of “Silver Taps” at the end of the Quad and a second bugler at the opposite end of the Quad echoes it shortly thereafter. Immediately following the ceremony, the ca-dets return to their dorms in silence.
Though the ceremony is tailored more to-ward cadets, it is open to anyone willing to pay their respects.

benching the future Heisman Trophy winner for the remainder of the game.
The offense’s high-production proved a blur even for current offensive coordi-nator Clarence McKinney, who recalled the game’s decision only in flashes of the unit’s quick scoring capabilities.
“I don’t really remember a lot of the Auburn game last year,” McKinney said. “I thought the pregame atmosphere was probably the greatest I’ve seen when they release the eagle and the crowd goes crazy, but then we ran up and down the field on them. I don’t feel those players really wanted to play.”
A&M enters the game against Auburn — the first of a four-game home stand — coming off a 41-38, last second victory over Ole Miss on the road, which both the players and coach said helped mature the squad mentally.
Sumlin said the Aggies attempt to simulate possible situations in practice like the team faced last Saturday in Ox-ford, Miss., in order to be prepared for
in-game crises. “I would just say we put guys in those
situations all the time,” Sumlin said. “You can’t simulate the pressure that’s in those situations all the time, but we take time to show other [games and] all the ways you can show guys what to do and how not to be ‘that guy.’”
Senior walk-on wide receiver Travis Labhart played a vital role in A&M’s suc-cess against the Rebels, as he caught a team-leading eight passes for 97 yards.
The walk-on’s performance came as no surprise to the rest of his teammates.
“If you know Labhart, that’s not shocking,” senior running back Ben Malena said. “It’s not shocking at all. He comes in and works every day and he’s a great-minded guy. Him stepping up and making catches is not surprising, but I’m really proud of him.”
McKinney said Labhart’s value came from his knowledge of all receiving posi-tions, allowing him to step in anywhere on the field for an injured or unproduc-tive starter.
“Spreading the ball around has to do with what the defenses are trying to take away,” McKinney said. “Take a guy like
Mike Evans and the start to the year he had, so he’s got coverage rolling his way. Guys are having their opportunities. A guy like Labhart came in and learned ev-ery receiver spot, so he’s very valuable. You can put him out there at any spot and feel confident he’ll catch the ball.”
Defensively, the Aggies will face a spread offense under Malzahn with a heavy focus on the run game. As of last week, the Tigers rank seventh nationally in rushing yards per game with the back-field duo of quarterback Nick Marshall and running back Tre Mason, while only hitting 103rd in passing.
A&M senior defensive back Toney Hurd Jr. said the Aggie defense’s experi-ence with mobile quarterbacks in prac-tice, such as Manziel and freshman back up Kenny Hill, allow the unit an edge heading into the matchup.
“We have one of the most mobile quarterbacks in the game and we practice against him every day,” Hurd said. “We have a great scheme and Coach Snyder always prepares us for whatever the other team has to offer us.”

Q:thebattasks What teams do you expect to see in the World Series?

we do the work. I’m proud to be here especially because I believe public service matters. I believe this is why we do the work.”
Taking office in the midst of the recession, Axelrod said the Obama administration had to make a se-ries of unpopular financial choices. Axelrod said he informed the pres-ident that the bailout of the auto industry and Wall Street would be extremely unpopular, but the presi-dent did not listen to his advice.
“He listened and he said ‘I know you’re right and I understand why they feel that way, but we’re in the midst of the worst recession since the Great Depression and if we let these companies collapse and let these supply chains that serve Ford collapse, we’re going to lose an-other million jobs,’” Axelrod said.
Without knowing it, Axelrod was with Obama the night he gave the order to have Osama Bin Lad-en captured. Axelrod said Obama maintained his calm demeanor throughout his correspondence speech that night with full under-standing of the significance of his decision.
“That’s what the presidency re-quires,” Axelrod said. “You have to make these life-and-death, sometimes momentous decisions and you make them on the best information you have and you use the best judgment you can muster and then you hope for the best. You need to be able to live with that.”
Axelrod said he never thought he would be handling a case like
the Captain Phillips situation, in which a cargo ship was overtaken by Somalian pirates. The Navy SEALS informed Obama that they could successfully save the captain and eliminate the threat, but he only had 10 minutes to approve the final decision.
“This is the life of a president every single day,” Axelrod said. “Presidents have to make these kinds of decisions, and frankly, they have to make them and be strong enough to live with the conse-quences of these decisions.”
Tuesday’s event was proctored by Andrew Card, former White House chief of staff under George W. Bush, which Ryan Crocker, dean of the Bush School, said made the event more constructive.
“I thought his comments on leadership were very much in keeping with what we try to teach at the Bush School and it was ter-rific to have the chance to bring David Axelrod and Andy Card to-gether for a very civil, interesting and constructive dialogue,” Crock-er said. “We all had the chance to see two great public servants, one republican and one democrat, talk about the importance of that kind of service.”
Taylor LaJoie, sophomore po-litical science major, was present at the meeting and said Axelrod left the audience with great insight.
“I think that the message that is important is no matter what you do in life, you’ve really got to get out there and get involved,” Lajoie said. “If we go forward, try to ac-tively participate and do whatever we can, then through that action we can make the world and the situation better.”

Student Senate will convene Wednesday to discuss nine
bills, including three bills con-cerning dining services.
Student senators will vote on a bill to place flags in every Uni-versity classroom and a resolution that states the Student Senate is opposed to the creation of a new wildcat for graduate students.
Michael Dror, senior political science major, will introduce the Restitution Owed After Com-promising the Health and Expec-tations of Students (ROACHES) Bill, which requests that Chart-wells credit four meal trades to all students with Fall 2013 meal plans for their facility inspection failure and the subsequent shut-down of several on campus din-ing facilities on Oct. 3. The bill also requests that Chartwells issue a formal apology for endangering the health of students.
Dror said the bill is an expres-sion of numerous complaints from students.
“I had friends both in my cau-cus and many others who feel like Chartwells isn’t treating them as customers, but rather as captives on account of the monopoly granted to them by Texas A&M,” Dror said.
The Continued Opposition to
Mandatory Meal Plans Bill, which also expresses disapproval of cam-pus dining services, will be intro-duced as well.
Chris Woolsey, junior political science major and co-author, said the bill is designed to reaffirm the official Student Senate opinion on mandatory meal plans given the past negligence shown by Chart-wells and University Dining.
Woolsey said the bill is also indicative of the sentiment felt by everyone he has talked to on campus.
“[Mandatory meal plans are] stupid, and it’s not how a good economic system should work,” Woolsey said. “I’m fed up with hearing students say ‘I can’t get good food and I have to pay for this anyway.’”
Woolsey also authored a bill re-garding Dining Services last year that is scheduled for a renewal vote this year. Woolsey said the bill in question, the Condiments are Loved Lavishly Bill, which requests that pump bottles replace packets of ketchup in the MSC, was also a response to constituent requests.
In addressing the Graduate Stu-dent Council’s recent actions to begin looking for a graduate stu-dent wildcat, a resolution against the creation of an additional wild-cat will be voted on at Wednes-
day’s meeting.Cary Cheshire, senior politi-
cal science major and co-author of the resolution, said the Student Senate was put in place to address such issues and that the Gradu-ate Student Council, with non-elected members, does not have the same representative authority as the Student Senate.
“I feel like Student Senate is the biggest representative body on campus,” Cheshire said. “Ev-ery single one of us was elected, and we’re where students are sup-posed to go for any formal decla-ration of student opinion for any issue whatsoever that comes up and in any way pertains to Texas A&M.”
Cheshire said the creation of an additional wildcat is not necessary as graduate students already get to participate in what he said is the best wildcat — the senior wildcat.
Cheshire said the resolution ad-dresses the idea that a new wildcat would contradict the idea of the traditional wildcat story and that claims of graduate student exclu-sion are self-induced.
“There’s no problem that ex-ists,” Cheshire said. “If anyone feels discluded, that’s their own prerogative because we’ve already let them cut to the front of the line.”
