Osa Okundaye — THE BATTALION

Whether it be football, basketball, baseball or any sport out there, the longstanding rivalry between Texas A&M and The University of Texas never fails to cause a stir amongst fans. And in the modern age of Facebook and Twitter, the competition extends beyond the playing field and onto the Internet. Aggies can show their pride on Facebook by visiting www.facebook.com/tamu where U.T. holds a 287,557-277,664 lead in “likes.” U.T.’s The Daily Texan newspaper currently edges The Battalion in number of “likes” on Facebook 2,404 to 2,199. To tip the scales in favor of A&M, visit the official Battalion Facebook page and click “like.” Readers can also follow @thebattonline to receive the latest news and updates via Twitter, including up-to-the-minute scores on Aggie baseball in the College World Series.

Aggies fall to ninth inning heroics in world series opener

It didn’t’ take long for the Texas A&M baseball team to get a lead in their first game of the 2011 College World Series against South Carolina. It also didn’t take long for them to lose it.

“The game couldn’t have started any better for us in the first inning,” Texas A&M head coach Rob Childress said. “We were able to score four runs, got the big hit out of Brandon Wood and felt like we were going to roll and just like that the nerves got to us a little bit and we made some mistakes.”

23,395 people were in attendance including New York Yankee pitcher Joba Chamberlain, who was coached by Childress at Nebraska. The Aggies seemed clear of any big stage nerves as junior first baseman Jacob House hit a single up the middle to score sophomore right fielder Tyler Naquin in a play at the plate and give the Aggies a 1-0 lead.

Students to paydifferential tuition

The Board of Regents approved des-ignated tuition for the College of Ar-

chitecture, the Dwight Look College of

Engineering & Agricultural Engineer-

ing, the Professional Doctor of Veteri-

nary Medicine Program in the College

of Veterinary Medicine and for Mays

Business School for fall 2011.

“While these additional tuition dol-

lars will allow us to expand the faculty

and enhance key programmatic areas,

I believe this decision also symbolizes

the board’s trust in our faculty and ad-ministration, as well as a commitment to maintain the culture of excellence at Texas A&M,” said President Bowen

Loftin in an email to A&M faculty, staff and students.

Jeff Pickering, student body presi-dent, said the approval reflects student opinion in the colleges. Boards from each of the schools met to discuss view-points before the board approved the designated tuition.

“I spoke on public testimony to our board and said that the student voice was heard,” he said. “I initially supported it. I have signed my name to it and I did at the meeting. Differential tuition is go-ing to help our schools keep up with the changing times and our competitor schools while keeping our tuition drasti-cally low.”

Pickering said while tuition in the colleges are increasing for the fall semes-

ter, the payment is still lower than other institutions in Texas.

“At [The University of Texas], their tuition in the architecture department is $4,900 while ours is going up to $2,800. What I would encourage everyone to remember, students and parents, is that even though our tuition is going up, we have a history of providing a great education for a relatively low price,” Pickering said.

Pickering was glad the board ap-proved the tuition.

“I support it, but with that we’re definitely going to take a proactive role from my executive team, to really work with the board, staff, faculty and make sure the administration produces a bet-ter product,” he said.

Richard A. Box, chairman of the Board of Regents, said the board is committed to teaching, research and serving the state of Texas and that A&M will always be a research institution. He said the discoveries of A&M faculty and researchers were world changing.

“Texas A&M and all the schools within the A&M System must embrace the fact we are not only a unique asset for the people of Texas…but our insti-tutions belong to the people of Texas,” he said.

“We must give the people of Texas excellence in academics, research and service, giving them top value in terms of both the benefits they receive and the cost of providing them.”

news for you

campusStudent dies after Dallas raveAndrew Graf, a sophomore general studies major, died late Saturday night at Baylor University Medical Center after the Electric Daisy Carnival, an electronic music festival,in Dallas. Authorities described a chaotic scene. Calls for paramedics started about 9 p.m. and lasted into the early morning. More than two dozen people were treated at hospitals for drug, alcohol and heat-related problems. Graf’s cause of death was pending toxicology results, which will take several weeks according to the Dallas Medical Examiner’s Offi ce.

b-cs areaMed off ers app While there’s not an app for everything yet, College Station Medical Center is working to fi ll the gap. The center has introduced an app that gives patients the chance to view emergency room wait times, maps to the facility, contact information for hospital services and much more. “Our goal is to reduce the time it takes our community to get the information they want or need about the hospital,” said Tom Jackson, College Station Medical Center CEO. “Whether someone is headed to a health seminar, has a question about a service or needs to check our ER wait time, it’s all available via our new mobile website. By downloading our quick launch web app, anyone with a smartphone can get fast access to our mobile site.” Another advance includes the Quick Release Code, the square bar code used in the medical center’s ER advertising. Users scan the code with their smartphones and are directed to hospital’s mobile website. Anyone can download the app by going to www.csmedcenter.com. ”It’s all about convenience,” Jackson said. “We’re using new technology to make sure the community can connect with us and have quick access to the services they need.”

Kevin Markowski: Bad decisions in the internet age

Suddenly, New York is short one congres-

sional representative. Ten days after admit-

ting he had lied to his wife, his colleagues,

and the general public about the nature of his

online activities, Congressman Anthony Weiner

(D-NY) resigned last Thursday amid intense

pressure from his own party.

After initially claiming he had been the victim of hackers, Weiner left office after disclosing he had sent sexually explicit pho-tos (taken in the Congressional gymnasium) to a 21-year-old Seattle woman. Allega-tions persist that he was also involved with a 17-year-old Delaware girl. Sad.

The former Congressman—once a rising star in the Democratic party—desperately tried to retain his seat, but as soon as Presi-dent Obama not-so-subtly suggested that Weiner resign, the outcome became all but certain. The seat is now vacant, and will be filled by a special election later this year.

While I hate to join the chorus of on-lookers currently making light of this situa-tion, I do so anyway, knowing that Weiner deserves the ridicule. At a time when our nation is faced with tough economic choices, Americans expect ingenuity—even integrity—from our political leaders. Instead, we have seen how backwards our politicians have become. Weiner has offered us the kind of stupidity that fosters a growing sense of malaise in the public arena.

It did not have to be this way. Weiner was popular in his home state and generally regarded as an accomplished legislator. Poli-ticsNY.com believed him to be “among the best the Empire State sends to Congress,” and his own website proclaimed the former Congressman as “a true product of New York’s hardworking middle class — who has worked hard to make sure that all New Yorkers get a shot at a good life.”

He touted a true American story, and was proud to be son to a schoolteacher of 32 years and a father that graduated from law school on the GI-Bill. Weiner could have become the Mayor of New York City or a U.S. Senator. Instead, he bet his career, his marriage and his reputation on an insatiable sense of egotistical recklessness. Now he’s a

disgraced nobody. There is another lesson here—a lesson for

all of us who utilize the internet for social networking purposes. While our actions are hopefully nowhere near as reprehensible as Anthony Weiner’s, we should all heed the implications of 21 century networking. Today, we all live in the public eye.

As early as 2006, at a symposium held at UC Berkeley, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg warned that “people should not be posting pictures of themselves doing il-legal things, anywhere.”

Troy Gilbert, then an official with UC Berkeley’s Office of Student Development, said that “in a student’s mind, posting a pic-ture on Facebook is no different than pasting a picture in a personal scrapbook…in our mind, it’s like posting it on a public bulletin board on campus.”

This policy holds true on any campus, anywhere, whether we like it or not.

Regardless of his moral character, An-thony Weiner never learned the simple real-ity of the internet age—namely, that average citizens are public figures, and public figures are fair game.

Don’t bother feeling sorry for this man. Weiner will enjoy a lifetime of benefits—at taxpayer expense—for his twelve years of “service” in the House of Representatives. Like any former member of Congress, Weiner is eligible for a generous pension; the National Taxpayer’s Union estimates that he will collect $46,224 annually from the federal government for the rest of his life. The best part of all: for a nominal fee, Weiner will be able to retain his member-ship in the Congressional gymnasium.

Wood came up with two outs left in the inning and the bases loaded. Smith smacked a pitch to right field scoring all three base runners. The Aggies went to the dugout with a 4-0 lead.

“Coach told me in batting practice I was going to hit a triple today off the field and he was right,” Wood said.

South Carolina rallied back in the bottom of the inning scoring their first run on a balk by junior starting pitcher Ross Stripling. It was obvious the Aggies were nervous as Stripling struggled early and senior second baseman Andrew Collazo sent a routine ground ball throw over House’s head. The er-rant throw would score two runs and before the inning was over South Carolina had tied the game at 4-4.

“Finally, took until about the second or third inning before

I really settled down,” Stripling said. “It was just really fun to pitch out there. I think I just wasn’t quite ready for it, I guess, and then obviously they’re just a good hitting team. And they went and took four runs from us right after we took four from them, and made it a game from the start.”

From that point on both South Carolina starter Michael Roth and A&M’s Stripling settled in, besting each other each inning as neither team could score. Roth would pitch 7.1 in-nings before leaving in the eighth.

Stripling returned to complete the eigth inning before sophomore Kyle Martin would come in for the ninth with the score still tied 4-4. After a near walk-off home run by South Carolina catcher Robert Beary hit off the wall for a double, Childress called for A&M senior closer Nick Fleece.

South Carolina center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr., who was playing in his first game since April after breaking his wrist,

came to the plate and singled to left field to put runners on the corners. Following a walk Childress brought in Scott Arthur for Brandon Wood to implement a five-player infield to stop a bases loaded, no out situation. Second baseman Scott Wingo, who was 3-for-3 entering the at-bat, was the next batter and lined a pitch off the right field wall to score the walk-off run for South Carolina to win 5-4.

“We didn’t get him out all night,” Childress said. “So we just need to be down in the zone. He would try to get a ground ball we’d been in that same spot a couple of years ago at Baylor on the road. It seemed to go our way. Everything has to work out in your favor for us to get out of that spot and it did two years ago against Baylor.”

“Our guys will be ready to play come Tuesday, I can tell you that,” Childress said.
