12 million workers who have previously entered the country illegally.
On Sunday at Simpson Drill Field, CMSA met to issue a statement as to what members believe should be included in the reforms. It also served as a forum to allow community members to share stories on what it means to be undocumented and provided an oppor-
tunity to create a visual representation of their beliefs by spelling out “CIR13,” for Comprehensive Immi-gration Reform 2013, with student bodies.

Dominique Hernandez, junior agricultural com-munications major, said he joined the march be-cause he has many gay friends who continue to experience discrimination.
“When gay people in the community find out they are not alone, they become stronger through unity,” Hernandez said. “Through power in numbers they can establish a major influence in a school that has a more conservative history.”
Texas A&M political science professor Joseph Ura researches linkages between enacted federal policies and national public opinion. Ura said the structural ad-vancements of the gay rights movement on a national level have contributed immensely to the evolution of the American opinion.
“In the late ’90s, the frontier of gay rights was more focused on anti-discrimination laws in the work place, the advancement of civil unions and so forth,” Ura said. “Now the movement has become more settled at the national stage focusing on the debate of same-sex marriage and because of this, the debate has been changing to an issue of equal rights rather than an issue of morality. This different frame helps people on the fence to come down in favor.”
Ura said a change in demographics has had a signifi-cant impact in the polls and, commercial advertising and public entertainment have become more support-ive of gay rights as a result.
“I tend to believe that pop culture is strictly consumer-driven,” Ura said. “They show what people want to see. The growing support of gay rights in the media is simply a product of a new American mindset.”
Head coach Kevin Sumlin said the atmo-sphere generated by the crowd was valued by players and coaches alike.
“We’re really appreciative of our fans showing up,” Sumlin said. “For our team, our players and our coaches, [the fan presence] was a big deal. Hopefully, we put on a decent show today.”
Manziel and the offense, suited in maroon, beat the white-clad defense 43-23, but Man-ziel alarmed coaches by throwing a block to allow sophomore running back Brandon Wil-liams a touchdown.
Co-offensive coordinator Clarence McK-inney said the play was one Manziel needed to avoid while in a practice situation.
“I told [Manziel], ‘Don’t ever do that again,’” McKinney said. “His instincts came into effect. He wanted to go and block for the guy, but we’re in the spring game. We don’t need to lose him on a busted play. We don’t want to see that.”
Manziel, record crowd highlight A&M’s historic
spring game
12th Man returns to Kyle
A record spring football crowd of more than 45,000 filed into Kyle Field on Saturday to catch a glimpse of the next
chapter of Texas A&M football for the annual Maroon and White game, the unofficial start to the season.
The spring football game was televised by Kirk Herbstreit and the ESPN College Game-day crew for the first time in program history. Heisman-winning quarterback Johnny Man-ziel stood center stage yet again — not as a national celebrity, but as the quarterback of the Aggie offense.
The sophomore-to-be said the game’s fan presence was beyond what he or any of his teammates expected, providing them with an in-season atmosphere to showcase their im-provement from spring training.
“It was unreal to have that kind of sup-port,” Manziel said. “Running out of the tun-nel, it almost felt like a real game. It’s been a grind and we were excited to go out and show what we’ve been working.”
The A&M athletic department opened the home grandstand’s third deck to allow for the massive influx of fans. By the game’s end, the crowd had flooded a majority of the home side and filled the first deck of both the student section and The Zone.
Associate athletic director Jason Cook said the game’s unprecedented fan presence was a result of the University’s realignment to the Southeastern Conference.
“This is why we moved to the SEC,” Cook said.

The U.S. Senate’s bipartisan “Gang of Eight” sen-ators plan to announce a deal regarding Compre-

The Senate bill is expected to include enhanced border security, tougher penalties against employers who hire illegal workers, a guest worker program and a path to legal residency and citizenship for the

Same-sex marriage shifts in public perception
As the U.S. awaits upcoming Supreme Court deci-sions regarding The Federal Defense of Marriage
Act and California’s Proposition 8, the debate regard-ing the legality of same-sex marriage continues. Shift-ing viewpoints on the matter have led to major political ramifications as well as an evolving social construct.
A gradual shift in public opinion on the legaliza-tion of same-sex marriage now seems to be gaining momentum, according to a new poll conducted by the Pew Research Center. Americans’ views on same-sex marriage have gone from significant disapproval in
2003 — 33 percent in favor and 58 percent against— to near-majority support a decade later — 49 percent in favor and 41 percent against.
Aggie Allies, a student organization that supports the Texas A&M GLBT community, remains proactive as it waits with the rest of the nation for a Supreme Court decision. Its third annual “Hands Across Aggieland” march on Friday called on community members to march across campus to promote equality and justice for GLBT-identifying individuals.
Michelle Gardner, vice president of Aggie Allies, said the march was the largest and most successful to date.

The Texas A&M women’s rugby team saw its season come to an end
in the Elite Eight of the national tourna-ment Sunday, losing 67-22 to Stanford in Palo Alto, Calif.
The Aggies defeated University of California-Berkeley 39-37 Satur-day in the Sweet 16 of the tournament to advance to Sunday’s game. Di-ana Lainez, senior chemical engineer-ing major and club president, said the Aggie spirit showed through each of the games.
“Both games showed we never quit,” Lainez said. “[Saturday], we were down two touchdowns and we scored and won in the last four minutes. Our last try was in overtime. That saying, ‘I’ve seen ‘em lose but I’ve never seen ‘em quit’ — I think that sums up our team perfectly.”
The invitation to the national tourna-ment was A&M’s first since 2010, and this year’s return allowed leadership on the current squad another opportunity at a national title, including head coach Nick James who played on the 2010 team.
“We had a small handful of players who were on the team that went to Sweet 16s last [time], so they knew what it was like to get there,” James said. “Not being able to make it two years in a row really frus-trated them and motivated them to want to get there this year. We’ve had some great players show up over the years and they have kind of all come together this year to make a good team.”
A&M’s season ended at the hands of Stanford, which has been the national runner up for three consecutive seasons. A&M’s path toward the 2013 national tournament started in 2011, when the team lost its head coach.
When James stepped in to fill the po-sition, the program that had made four Sweet 16 appearances gained a new sense of direction. When focus again began to fade a semester ago, the team gathered to regroup.
“At the beginning of this semester we sat down and made a goal,” junior for-ward Olivia Harrington said. “We made our entire year a focus on intensity and intent. We decided we weren’t going to

Senior Cristina Sanchez-Quintanar played a key role in Texas A&M’s SEC Championship.
let anyone keep us [from going] to the Sweet 16, mostly because we wanted to get our program back to where it was before.”
The team went undefeated in regular season play with the new sense of focus, going 6-0 while playing Texas, Texas State and Texas Tech twice each.
“When we go to play UT or Tech, they know it’s not going to be a walk in the park,” Harrington said. “We had that three-year gap where people thought they were better and Texas went to the Sweet 16 last year so they thought they were going to come in and run all over us. Instead we ran all over them.”
The team is made up of a wide range of players from many different back-grounds. Harrington, also a member of the A&M powerlifting team, got her start when friend and teammate Diana Lainez challenged her, saying she couldn’t be a rugby player.
The team has two players who played in high school, a rarity for the sport. It also has cousins on the team, as well as a
sorority member. Through recruiting at MSC Open House and socials before the season, the squad has been able to find integral parts for the team.
“I feel like sometimes we look like we would all fit together normally,” Har-rington said. “But other times we are like, ‘How did you end up here?’ Rugby is a pretty tough sport. There are no pads and you’re running ... into somebody.”
The common interest of trying to make it to another Sweet 16 and fur-ther will continue to bond this group of players going forward, as the women’s rugby team strives to build upon their past victories.
“If it wasn’t for some key recruits coming out, sticking with it and devel-oping their game, this team wouldn’t be who it is today,” James said. “Everyone from [Harrington], the powerlifter who came out to prove her friend wrong, to the person who always wanted to hit someone. It’s vital to the continued progress and performance of the team.”
The Texas A&M women’s tennis team secured the University’s first regular season Southeastern Conference championship in any sport
with its 4-0 road victory over No. 43 Ole Miss on Sunday. The Aggies, who finish the season 20-2 overall and 12-1 in the SEC, ended the year knotted in a three-way tie with Georgia and Florida for the title. For the program, the championship is its first since winning the Big 12 regular season title in 2003.
“It is a tremendous honor for our players, Coach [Mark] Weaver and me to represent Texas A&M University,” head coach Howard Joffe said. “The University does so much for all of us, and winning the SEC in our inaugural season feels so good in so far as our group being able to give back to our school.”
Senior transfer and national No. 4 Cristina Sanchez-Quintanar, A&M’s leader since the season’s beginning, notched the winning point for the Aggies’ in the victory over Ole Miss.
For the upcoming SEC tournament, which starts Wednesday at Mississippi State, the Aggies drew a No. 2 seed. Georgia took the top seed while Florida garnered the No. 3 slot. A&M will play the winner of the match between No. 7 Auburn and No. 10 Arkansas.

Manziel finished the day with three touch-downs and 303 passing yards. Williams — an Oklahoma transfer — racked up 59 yards on seven carries and 29 yards on three receptions, showing versatility as a running back and re-ceiver out of the backfield.
“[Williams is] a home run threat from any-where on the field,” McKinney said.
The defense, after injuries to multiple start-ers throughout spring training, often relied on new additions. Senior Nate Askew started at linebacker after an offseason position shift from
receiver, a change defensive coordinator Mark Snyder said has gone well.
“[Askew] got better each and every day of spring practice,” Snyder said. “I think he’s hav-ing fun and he’s found a way to help this foot-ball team.”
Looking forward, Sumlin said spring train-ing allowed the team to create relationships and build a foundation for the upcoming season.
“We couldn’t do everything we wanted to do, but I thought there were some good things that happened today with some good competi-tion,” Sumlin said. “There’s room for all these guys and we’re going to need them in a league like the SEC. They all have skill sets that can help us win.”

dangerous environment and an abusive father. “I did not come to America to have a bet-
ter life, but to save my children,” Rivera said. “There is no reason to not support Immigra-tion Reform. We did not come here to steal, destroy or cause problems.”
Jose Luis Zelaya — Rivera’s son, a gradu-ate student in education and student senator — later followed on land in a 45-day jour-ney. Zelaya said he credits his mother for his success.
“I faced the dangers of Honduras, which has the highest crime rate in the world,” Ze-laya said. “I have been shot and stabbed. It was very tough but now I am a graduate student and it is because of my mother.”
CMSA said personal stories “humanize” the issue and change negative stigmas.
Jacob Cobb, vice president of CMSA, said a bill that would permanently and responsibly address the issue of the millions of undocu-mented immigrants is needed.
“I am hoping for something permanent,” Cobb said. “Piecemeal legislation is fine, but the movement will continue until there is a permanent solution.”
Nancy Contreras, senior marketing major and CMSA member, came to Texas illegally from Mexico when she was three years old with her mother.
“The whole undocumented status did not
hit me until I entered high school and people started getting driver’s licenses and permits,” Contreras said. “I realized I wouldn’t be able to have that.”
Contreras said she received social abuse due to her citizenship status. She was once pulled over without a license and was verbally threat-ened by the officer, but she said these chal-lenges have given her a new determination.
“When you don’t have something in your life, you work even harder to get it,” Con-treras said. “All of my life I did not have a social [security number] or driver’s license and I believe, had I acquired those things early on like everyone else, I would not be where I am today at Texas A&M. I would not have been so determined or passionate about coming to a four-year university because I would have had it all and I haven’t worked so hard for nothing.”
Some bill opponents fear the economic cost of such an act, as well as a shortage of Ameri-can jobs.
U.S. Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida has begun a public campaign to win over conservative support for overhauling im-migration laws.
“What we have in place today, the status quo is horrible for America,” Rubio said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “The only people benefiting from the status quo in immigration today are the people trafficking human beings across the border, and the people who are hir-ing illegal labor for cheap purposes.”
Terry Anderson, a Texas A&M history professor, said this mindset is spurred by an increase in the prevalence of social media.
“The current generation of youth is much more tolerant to the GLBT community than any other generation,” Anderson said. “Peo-ple aged between 18 and 40 are really starting to take control of the American culture and it’s exciting because it proves the success of the Civil Rights Movement.”
He said this sway in national opinion has a strong political effect.
“Why do you think [President Barack] Obama recently came out in favor of same-sex marriage? It’s because youth, aged 18 to 30, overwhelmingly support the president,” Anderson said. “The generation of intolerance is a part of the past.”
The Republican National Committee af-firmed its stance against same-sex marriage last week in establishing a consensus to urge the Supreme Court to uphold Proposition 8.
Some Republicans, such as Ohio Senator Rob Portman, have expressed support of the
legalization of same-sex marriage. More than two dozen Republicans, including an advi-sor to 2012 Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, signed a legal brief in Febru-ary pushing the Supreme Court to declare gay marriage a constitutional right.
Some Americans remain hesitant about the idea of same-sex marriage, however, with re-ligion often cited as a reason.
Holly Webb, sophomore communication major, said she opposes same-sex marriage for her religious beliefs.
“Because of my biblical beliefs I think that marriage should remain between a man and a woman,” Webb said. “Many people have attempted to refute the Bible by taking verses out of context, but if you really know the Bi-ble and read it then you will understand what it says is right and wrong.”
Although Webb said she is opposed to the legalization of same-sex marriage, she said the stance should not be misinterpreted as an idea of hate, homophobia or intolerance.
“When I look at a homosexual person, I might disagree with what they do, but that being said, I’ll continue to show compassion and love for them just as I would with anyone else,” Webb said.
