Tyler Hosea— THE BATTALION

The men’s practice team for the women’s basketball team accepted recognition at Reed Arena when the women’s basketball team came back from winning the national championship.

Practice team aids Aggie win behind the scenes

Court supportAggies around the nation watched

as the women’s basketball team fought for a national title. They received atten-tion on the national stage, and are one of the Aggie’s greatest sources of pride this spring.

Behind the scenes, the women’s team practices with a group of men every week. The guys on the team are picked through recommendations, and they work out with the women multiple times a week.

“Players on the practice team usually get picked through recommendations. After trying out for the men’s basket-ball team, I received an email from the women’s basketball department stating that they were looking for more practice

players,” said Prince Woodrow, a senior computer engineering major.

The practice team works around their schedule, and each player attends practice at least two times a week. The purpose of the practice team is to give the women’s team tough competi-tion. Members of the practice team said practices were hard every day, so it was constantly a good workout. Practicing against a men’s practice team allows the women to play against a team that is more physical.

“Most of the time, when men play basketball it is more physical, intense and at a faster pace, than when women play. It’s always helpful when you are going up against competition that’s going to make you work hard on a daily basis. That’s what the coaches want us to do as

practice players,” Woodrow said.At practice, the teams do a mix of

scrimmages and drills that prepare the women’s team for big games.

“We do some drills and we scrim-mage sometimes also ... it’s a good mix of both,” said Will Allen, a freshman sports management major.

Being able to play with the national champions isn’t the only upside to being a member of the practice team.

“Even though the women players work hard in practice, they also have fun in the process. Plus a lot of the girls are characters. I don’t think a practice went by without me laughing. It was also fun just being able to play basketball.Both the girls and the coaches are very

Sophomores pull out todayThe official sophomore class event,

“Pull Out Day” will begin at 3:30 p.m. today at the zone at Kyle Field.

“This is a day where 2013 comes to-gether and is the first day to pull out the up-perclassman privilege of ‘whooping’ which is simple, but unique to Texas A&M,” said Sam Reynolds, Pull Out Day director for 2011 and junior recreation, park and tour-ism sciences major.

Traditionally, this is a time when soph-omores will get together to “pull out” whooping privileges given to juniors.

“The main reason for doing this event is to sell T-shirts that raise money for the class gift,” said Trent Segers, the 2013 class president and industrial distribution major.

Reynolds said he encouraged sopho-mores to come to the event and to get as much participation as possible.

Candy95 will be playing music there until the first performance. The Twelfth Man bus will also be there giving students the opportunity to take pictures.

“Yell practice will be at 5:45 p.m. led by the new sophomore yell leaders and we

will all walk to Olsen for the TCU baseball game,” Reynolds said.

Reynolds said there were auditions to determine who would sing the National Anthem at the baseball game and Kaitlyn Hobaugh was chosen.

“There is free food, fun, games and op-portunity to spend time with fellow class-mates,” Reynolds said.

Reynolds said sophomores can come to pull out day and “whoop” from then on.

“This is a way to support the class gift,” Segers said.

Reynolds said there is much he wants to accomplish at Texas A&M, and this is something students can do together.

“We encourage shirt buying,” Reyn-olds said. “If you wear your sophomore pull out shirt you get into the game for free.”

Students can plan on performances from the Aggie Percussion studio, Aggie Wran-glers, Fade To Black and Grady Douglas.

Students prepare as MCAT revamps

The MCAT — a five-hour official admissions tests for pre-medical students — might be getting a makeover.

Preliminary recommenda-tions to change both the format and content of the MCAT have been initiated by the Association of American Medical Colleges, AAMC.

Changes include the elimina-tion of the writing sample, the addition of a behavioral and so-cial sciences principles section and added questions on the advanced sciences, such as biochemistry and molecular biology.

“The stated goal of the AAMC committee is to retain all aspects of the MCAT that they under-stand are working and to change

others accordingly,” said Jeff Koetje, director of academics of pre-health programs at Kaplan.

These changes sparked con-cern for those involved with the MCAT, such as test-preparation companies, colleges and espe-cially students.

Test preparation companies, as well as universities across the nation, might have to reformat the curriculum to better prepare students applying to medical school.

Although these changes will not be directly seen until 2015, effects will be seen much sooner, Koetje said.

The writing sample seems to generate the most concern.

Texas A&M has even more na-tional champions walking among its crowds of students as the Texas A&M women’s volleyball club returns from Houston as national champions for the second year running. The men’s volleyball club faced adversity with a young team, fighting to regain the na-tional championship once again from 2010. Unfortunately, the dreams were dashed the second day after a loss in the

silver bracket.“I am so proud of our club for fin-

ishing in the top five the past four years I have been a part of the program,” said Taylor Purswell, women’s volley-ball club president and senior market-ing major. “We have a very talented group of girls that work very hard.”

The women’s team was confident going into the championship and fin-ished with the first team placing fifth in the National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association while the second team took home the gold.

“When we play you can tell how much we love each other, and that team chemistry helps us beat teams who maybe have more talent than ours,” said Tori McWilliams, second team right side hitter and junior ki-nesiology major. “The way we play together really shows the values that A&M stands for.”

After beating Florida in 2010 and placing first in the championship, Florida avenged their loss by beating the men’s club in a tough match in the silver bracket during the second day of

the tournament. “This was heartbreaking for us,

but we played extremely well for the second half of the tournament,” said Tyler Hoffman, men’s volleyball club president and junior petroleum engi-neering major.

The women and men’s club prac-tice twice a week. The men’s club team accepts athletes who are willing to learn the sport. The women’s vol-leyball club is more competitive and

found is writing samples fail to provide valuable informa-tion. It’s not found to be par-ticularly useful nor helpful in predicting academic success,” Koetje said.

Student opinion regarding these changes is varied.

“The writing sample cur-rently is more of a supple-ment for medical school… I think the writing sample can be pertinent towards admis-sions because it’s important to be aware of current events, whether they be health-related or not,” said Shama Dhanani, a junior biochemistry and ge-netics major and pre-medical student.

She said the writing sample

provides an opportunity for medical school applicants to express their opinions about an idea and is the only outlet for creativity.

“The rest of the exam is simply clicking the correct answer,” she said. “I think if the admissions committee was able to see the essays writ-ten rather than just a score, it could be useful, but when taking that five-hour exam, I know I’d be happier without it.”

Tommy Lau, a sophomore psychology major, has yet to take the MCAT, but his prep-aration has already begun.

“Even though the writ-ing section is removed, the MCAT is still going to be more science-based, so it won’t affect the overall qual-ity of the test,” Lau said.

Also generating debate is

the addition of the behavioral and social sciences principles section. Some students said that it is important for pre-med students to have an un-derstanding of mental health because a physician treats the whole person, not just his or her current sickness.

“It’s crucial to have a firm understanding of these condi-tions, so that the proper care can be administered,” Dha-nani said.

Despite the importance and pertinence of mental health, the burden of having to pre-pare for yet another section leaves some students question-ing the utility of a change in test material.

“As far as adding an addi-tional psychology section, it seems rather futile,” Dhanani said.

Lau has a different opinion.

“I feel that it is important for a doctor to know ‘hard’ science, but … equally im-portant that they know how to use ‘soft’ science,” he said.

Some still consider the MCAT a valid method of as-sessing who is best qualified for medical school admission.

“For the most part, I feel like it is a good indicator for acceptance into medical school… The MCAT estab-lishes a form of middle ground where applicants can be com-pared,” Dhanani said.

Lau however, isn’t so sure.“I don’t believe the MCAT

is a good indicator. Sure, sci-ence is very important to the field of medicine, but there [is] so much more. It takes heart, beliefs and experience to be a good doctor, not just science itself, ” he said.

down-to-earth and are fun to be around. They tell the practice players thanks for coming after every practice. They are very appreciative of the prac-tice players volunteering their time,” Woodrow said.

For the rest of the semester, the women’s team will be taking it easy. However, next semester the team will be returning to practices against the men.

“We don’t have practices right now because the girls are getting [some time] off, which is much deserved, but

after their rest they will do individual workouts for the remainder of this se-mester and pick back up regular prac-tices next semester,” Allen said.

The men’s practice team is an exam-ple of the Aggie Spirit and the power of the Twelfth Man. Skilled basketball players volunteer their time to stay be-hind the scenes and help their fellow students win games; proving that the support of the Aggie family is crucial to winning national titles.

“They’re going to be just as good as they were this year. Those four seniors were really good, but they still have a strong crew,” said Carson York, a practice team member and sophomore finance major.

even includes athletes from other top-tier schools who have transferred and are now playing in the club.

“Something I’ve noticed about our club is that we have so many outstanding players that both our teams can compete at the same level, whereas most clubs have two unequal teams at different levels of competition,” said Nina Ojeda, outside hitter and junior wildlife management major.

The women’s club surpassed all other teams in the nation, with five players from first and second team winning distinguished outstanding player awards at nationals. The players recognized from the women’s sec-ond team are: Ojeda for being MVP; Tori Schwarzlose received all tournament setter and Andrea (“The Wall”) Frazier, receiving honorable mention as a middle blocker.

Danielle Espejo, freshman biomedical science major, was named second team all-tournament.

“Maggie Bates was named to Honorable Mention,” Purswell said. “She is one of our most consistent players, contributing with kills, digs, blocks and assists when needed. She is just a junior and also a team captain.”

Win or lose, these men and women play with the heart of champions and for the love of the game.

“We love to have fun, and that is the most important thing,” Hoffman said. “We keep it pretty serious during practice and during games, but there is always time to have fun. It’s all about maintaining a high energy so that we play better.”

In order to get a job, you have to dress to impress.

According to the Texas A&M University’s “Dress for Success” page of the Career Center website, if a job applicant is not properly dressed for an interview, she will never have the opportunity to prove herself capable of the job and will instead have to counteract the negative impression made by her attire.

Wearevertheweather.com offers assistance to women traveling to destinations close to home, as well as women traveling around the world. The site offers assistance with what to wear to any destina-tion based on style for a particular region, as well as advice based on weather forecasts for the area. The website also aids in preventing one from making unnecessary choices based on weather predictions for a particular city for up to a week ahead of time.

“The site’s easy-to-use My Stylist feature starts travelers on their road to discovering what to wear. A user simply inputs a desired location or destination, a date and a type of occasion. My Stylist then pulls together the perfect pieces for that location’s weather forecast,” said Renae Virata, the creator of

the new, Houston-based website and a woman with a background in fashion buying and event planning. Vitara aims to take the anxiety out of packing and to assist travelistas — the name Virata gives to fashion-conscious, traveling women — in making confident fashion choices.

The pictures of the clothing include the price and manufacturer and can be shared through Face-book, Twitter and email.

This resource is useful and ben-eficial for professionals whose jobs have them traveling to many cities. With this website, packing for all conditions and circumstances is no longer necessary. Instead, people can pack for the predicted condi-tions for a designated location.

“It actually knows what the real weather is for your location and date — right down to humidity, wind chill and precipitation — and only returns to you the pieces that make sense for the forecast. My Stylist even narrows your search results down according to your de-sired occasion. So you can focus on being your fashionable, well-trav-eled self instead of on the technical stuff,” as stated by the “About” sec-tion of weareverthewhether.com.

The site has a Fashion Forum blog with articles about fashion, weather, travel, how to dress for different occasions, etc.

“Keep in mind the culture of the city. We’re obsessed with researching the trends and styles of girls in other cities (that’s why we’re here after all!), and what’s appropriate for a business cocktail party in Austin won’t necessarily fly in Boston. Ask your friends, family and of course, us, if you need tips on dressing up in a new town,” said Laura Milligan in her blog What to Pack for a Cocktail Party in the Fashion Forum.

Makeup and skincare consultant and artist, Sameera Ahmed, wrote a guest blog for the site about makeup trends in Hong Kong and how to abide by their current style.

“Hong Kong is one of the most fashion-forward cities in the world, with its residents definitely unafraid of dramatic color, funky textures and punk-inspired patterns. Color is in, especially when checking out the always-happening nightlife, so indulge in those bright lip and eye colors that have been hiding at the bottom of your makeup bag,” said guest blogger Sameera Ahmed, a licensed makeup and skincare artist consultant from Denver, Colo.

This is a great example of how the website can assist your fashion and travel needs in foreign cities.

With the “What They Are Wearing In” feature, visitors to the website can adapt to the dress

culture of majors cities. Users can observe fashion norms in Houston, Prague, Nashville and Hong Kong, among others.

“Dressing up for a city’s particular ‘style culture’ can help enhance the experience of a tourist in another city,” Virata said. “That can be similarly so vocationally. Understanding and ‘dressing the part’ according to the city you are visiting can help you feel more in tune with the vibe of that city. Also, it can immediately communi-cate that you as a potential denizen of that city and employee of that company who will fit in beauti-fully — first impressions are what interviews are all about.”

For any woman with travel plans, whether for fun, study abroad, a job interview or intern-ship, the idea of what to wear can be intimidating. Add the com-plication of considering what the weather will be like during the upcoming trip, and packing can become a nerve-racking process. With airline fees added to over-weight baggage, another stress factor comes into play.

From middle-aged professionals to college students, Wearever the Weather provides limitless options for women of all ages and has been endorsed by fashion experts in ma-jor cities all around the globe.

The No. 5 Texas A&M base-ball team will face perhaps its toughest test of the season to-day. The Aggies (26-10, 11-4) welcome in the No. 9 TCU Horned Frogs, the highest ranked competition to visit Ol-sen Field midway through this 2011 campaign.

“It’s going to be a big chal-lenge,” said Head Coach Rob Childress. “[Head Coach] Jim [Sclossnagle] does a great job and those guys are playing well.”

TCU’s roster is one of the most talented and deep in the country, a fact bolstered by their top-10 national ranking. Pitcher Matt Purke, out of Klein High School, was drafted No. 14 overall in 2009 by the Texas Rangers after his senior year, but once contract negotiations fell through he decided to attend TCU. Recent 2011 mock drafts project Purke being selected

No. 11 by the Houston Astros. Monday, left fielder Jason Coats was named MWC Co-Player of the Week after batting .562 (9-16), pushing his hitting streak to 16 games and his RBI streak to six games. The honor is Coats’ second of his career and the sixth such award given to a Horned Frog this season. Third baseman Jantzen Witte (.374), who bats in the leadoff position, is in the midst of a hitting streak of his own, spanning 13 games.

The match-up against the Aggies will mark the end of a five-game away streak for the Frogs; they are currently 3-1 on the road trip and coming off a sweep of San Diego State.

“Hopefully they’ll have a little jetlag coming in Tuesday,” Childress said.

While the game carries no conference implications — TCU is a member of the Moun-tain West while the Aggies play in the Big 12 — the winner will garner national attention and

increase their odds of having a super regional. RPI is used to rank teams based not only upon wins and losses but also strength of schedule, which is why the matchup will be so closely mon-itored by national media.

“It’s going to be a great RPI game for both teams,” Chil-dress said.

The Aggies hope to use the knowledge of the terrain to their advantage. Winning at Olsen Field hasn’t come eas-ily for the Frogs, having lost their last two games in College Station, but they did win the teams’ most recent matchup, a 6-1 victory over A&M at Lup-ton Field last season.

“They play in a tough park to hit, you know,” Childress said. “The wind’s definitely going to be blowing a different direction here than it does in Fort Worth. It’s going to be a great challenge.”

Sophomore southpaw Bran-don Parrent will pitch for the

Aggies. In his most recent start, against No. 22 Rice, Parrent lasted a career-high six innings and allowed only one earned run. The Flower Mound na-tive will duel TCU’s Andrew Mitchell, who boasts a 2-0 re-cord and a 1.24 ERA in 36.1 in-nings of work this season.

Wacha invited to team USAMonday, it was announced that sophomore pitcher Michael Wacha has been invited to play with the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team for the upcoming summer. Wacha will become the 13th Aggie to represent the US, and the fi rst since Daylon Holt in 1999. “We’re very proud of Michael and all the hard work he’s put in to get in a position to be recognized by Team USA,” said Head Coach Rob Childress.

All students receive free admission as a part of Twelfth Man Day to today’s midweek battle between A&M and TCU set to take place at 6:35 p.m. at Olsen Field.

Aggies to have Twelfth Man Day for baseballWhen Texas A&M began the 2009 baseball season ranked the pre-season No. 1 team in the nation, 3,313 Aggies responded by giving the team the highest student turnout in a single game in Olsen Field history. 2011’s pre-season No. 1 — the TCU Horned Frogs — invades Olsen at 6:30 p.m. today, and A&M is setting its sights on gigging the record once again. All students will be admitted free with a valid ID when No. 5 A&M (26-10) stands against No. 11 TCU in one of the more important non-conference games Olsen has had in the near past. The Aggies, having been ranked in the top-10 in at least one major poll during each week of the season, continue to make a push for one of the eight coveted “national seeds” which have a Super Regional — the NCAA Tournament round just before the eight-team College World Series begins. Super Regional hosts essentially play home games all the way to the CWS, which A&M last played its way to in 1999. “We do it for the fans,” said All-American right-hander John Stilson. “Hearing the student section keeps us going.”

ETYMOLOGYX (“one without faith”) is one who doubts or rejects central tenets of a religion, or says there is no truth in religious be-liefs. This was first used in Middle English circa 1460, from the Middle French and Latin roots. In the 16th century, it was used to mean a non-Christian (especially a Saracen). Of course, to the muslim Saracens, this word meant the same as “Chris-tian”. In Christianity, X is an ecclesiastical term referring to one who does not believe in the truth of the divinity of Jesus or one who has not been baptized. What’s the good word?

ANSWERS TO YESTERDAY’S PUZZLE:

The word is “Kamikaze”, from Japanese. Japanese pilots during WWII were famous for going kamikaze on their opponents
