A good professor teaches students about a field of study. A great professor feeds students knowl-edge that will be carried for the rest of their lives. James Aune, professor and head of the Department of Communication, was a great professor.

Aune died Tuesday. He was described as a man appreciated far beyond his intellect. His students said he was the teacher they stayed after class to talk to. He was even known for moving a test for Chilifest or sporting events.

Aune had been part of the A&M community since 1996 and had a strong connection with his colleagues and students. Kurt Ritter, professor emeritus of communication and long time friend and co-worker of Aune, said he and Aune shared similar interests, professionally and personally. Over their 16 years working together, they devel-oped a close friendship.

“He was really appreciated for his intellect,” Ritter said. “He was a really smart guy and people appreciated that of course, but he was also appre-

Gov. Rick Perry’s former squadron rekindles after decades of deactivation

For two decades, former members of the Corps of Cadets’ once-vaunted Squadron 6 Flying Tigers had fond memories and cherished friendships as evidence of their time at Texas A&M, but no active students to serve as an embodiment of their legacy after the unit’s 1992 deactivation.

Dozens of former Flying Tigers gathered Saturday to celebrate the unit’s reactivation. Among them were Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Class of 1972, and A&M System Chancellor John Sharp, also Class of 1972.

The two men expressed concerns about the unit’s hiatus, and playfully tried to claim credit for the reactiva-tion of Squadron 6.

The growth of the Corps of Ca-

dets, whose numbers are the highest in more than 10 years, necessitated the reactivation of Squadron 6. Com-pany S-2 was also reactivated with 36 members and the appointment of senior Michael Smith as the new outfit commander.

“This morning has been a long time coming,” Corps Commandant Joe Ramirez said. “I look forward to adding even more units as the

Corps continues to grow and con-tinuing the Corps’ legacy of success and achievement.”

Perry spoke after senior aerospace engineering major Fernando Aguilera assumed the position of the unit’s new commander and the orders of Squad-ron 6 were read, highlighting the les-sons he remembered the squadron of-fered him.

Texas A&M, competing in its first conference road matchup of the season, downed the defend-ing national champion Kentucky Wildcats 83-71 Saturday after-noon at Rupp Arena.

Senior guard Elston Turner scored a career-high 40 points during the marquee victory, help-ing A&M improve to 12-3 over-

all and a perfect 2-0 in SEC play. The Aggies edged former South-west Conference rival Arkansas at home 69-51 Wednesday.

“I was just going with the flow,” Turner said. “I didn’t really pay attention to who was guarding me or what they were trying to do. I was just really trying to get my team going — we had to have confidence that we could beat this.”

Six-foot-five senior Turner

was just a single point shy of his personal best of 26 points enter-ing halftime. Turner finished the matchup 14-for-19 and 6-for-10 from beyond the arc, adding four assists and six rebounds as well.

The second-year transfer from the University of Washington fur-ther noted the game as his “best performance” to date, surpassing high school and even Sweet Six-teen memories with the Huskies.

Fellow teammate and junior

guard Fabyon Harris knocked down 14 points of his own, fin-ishing a distant second to Turn-er, the Aggies’ leading scorer for the season.

“I just sat back and watched the show,” Harris joked following the victory. “I’m used to seeing Elston do that in practice and he just showed that he can do that on the big stage in the win tonight.”

Once again, a new year is dawning, and all of last year’s cherished moments have turned into nothing more than mem-ories, stories and pictures.

With the onset of the new semester comes the task of setting a New Year’s resolution. This decree for change can come in many forms, whether it be a personal goal, a project or the reformation of a habit.

After a leisurely-spent holiday feasting on turkey, stuffing and other holiday treats, many students are choosing to incor-porate weekly fitness into their schedules as routines become cemented once again.

Lauren Drey, junior education major, said she is going to strive for healthiness this year and force herself to accomplish her New Year’s goal.

“I am going to run a half marathon,” Drey said. “This time, I will follow a schedule I found online and go ahead and sign up. That way I have no choice.”

With the new year also comes a new school semester and new academic goals. Whether it’s raising a GPA, receiving that Aggie Ring or obtaining the perfect internship, many students have decided to focus their attention away from recreational activities and obtain a more diligent approach toward their grades.

Derek Bahner, junior manufacturing and mechanical engineering technol-ogy major, said he is going to take a more studious approach this year by applying more effort to his studies.

“It may sound nerdy,” Bahner said. “But I need to stay focused on school more and not be as lazy. I need to put more effort and time into my homework.”

Other students have decided to head toward the nearest grocery store and create their very own culinary concoctions.

Amanda Surman, senior civil engineering major, said she wants to learn culinary skills in order to have more time with her room-mates and eat healthier.

“I would like to learn how to cook this year,” Surman said. “I wouldn’t mind cooking up a nice, big grilled salmon with my room-mates. I don’t really like the cooking part, I just want to eat.”

This year also provides a chance to start fresh

and be more caring toward others. Throughout their busy day-to-day routines, some tend to forget to take

even a small moment to remember those who surround them.

Mason Bond, junior environmental studies major, said he plans on showing kindness by

helping others in his everyday activities.“I plan on performing random acts of kindness

each day,” Bond said. “These can be anywhere from sparing a stranger some change to anony-mously purchasing their coffee.”

Some students do not have a particular goal chosen, but have decided to acknowledge all of life’s simplicities by spending extra time with loved ones and embracing what’s to come.

Castrejón Csitkovits, sophomore industrial en-gineering major, said his goal is to learn from each day that passes.

“I want to savor the sweets and learn from the sours,” Csitkovits said.

Whichever area of improvement, Aggies have decided to make 2013 a year for changes.

After all, the New Year is a time for second chances.

Collin SeiffertyTHE BATTALION

Turning books into movies is well known to filmgoers. The end of 2012 saw several films go from bookshelves to movie theaters in what seemed like a literary craze, sparking interest and competition to determine which adap-tation was the best

First out in the box office was “Life of Pi,” based on the young-adult nov-el by Yann Martel. Directed by Ang Lee, the film follows the adventures of Piscine Molitor “Pi” Patel after he sur-vives a shipwreck that kills the other passengers, including the boy’s family. Widely described as a masterpiece by critics and moviegoers, Lee makes care-ful use of 3D and digital visuals, creating a spectacular immersion effect.

“It was gorgeous,” said junior math major Emily Moore. “Especially the way they did the animals. It was really dif-ferent.”

The film was a critical and box office success, garnering rave reviews, eleven Academy Award nominations and was awarded a Golden Globe for best origi-

nal score, as well as more than $300 mil-lion in box office earnings.

Next on the list was Peter Jackson’s “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,” the first in a trilogy adapted from J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy classic “The Hobbit.” This return to Middle Earth follows the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, as he strives to help a group of misfit dwarves reclaim their fortress from the dragon Smaug.

The film earned a record-breaking $84 million on its opening weekend. To date, the film has earned more than $830 million and three Academy Award nominations for Best Visual Effects, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, and Best Production Design. Some reviewers questioned its pacing and its visual rep-resentation, but others believed the film representation was well done.

“It never felt like any time was wast-ed the way I was worried it would,” said sophomore education major Jen-na Guinn. “It covered just enough. I would’ve hated for it to be any shorter.”

Another popular adaption this holiday season was “Les Misérables.” Written by Victor Hugo in 1862, the novel was critically hated and publically lauded. In

1836 the author’s son, Charles Victor Hugo, wrote the first theatrical adapta-tion.

In the latest film adaptation, starring Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean, a fleeing convict, and Russell Crowe as a persis-tent police inspector, the movie pres-ents a story of hope and loss in a time wrought with revolution. With a stun-ning set and popular cast, many students seemed to love this inspiring film.

“The cinematography was flawless and the story was gripping,” said sopho-more education major Callie Strickland. “I would like to see some awards there.”

“Les Misérables” was nominated for nine BAFTA awards, eight Academy Awards and won Golden Globes for Best Motion Picture in Comedy or Musical, Best Actor for Hugh Jackman and Best Supporting Actress for Anne Hathaway.

Adapting literature to film is a long-standing tradition, as is taking them to anywhere — from animation to sung-through musicals. From the early 20th century to present day, it’s a successful habit that people are sure to see for a long time to come.

Despite Turner stealing the spotlight, Harris made his presence felt with a mere 4:04 to play and the matchup deadlocked at 63, sinking a jumper that would lead to an 11-0 run for A&M to end the game.

With the victory, Aggie head coach Billy Kennedy showed signs of reviving a downed A&M program fol-lowing a disappointing 14-18 (4-14 Big 12) conclusion to A&M’s final run in the Big 12 last year.

Last season broke a string of six consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances under former coaches Billy Gillispie and Mark Turgeon, but Kennedy has geared A&M for a return to promi-nence in his university’s

new conference.For Kentucky head

coach John Calipari, A&M’s 12-point win marks his only conference home loss and third largest margin of de-feat since his tenure began in 2009.

Kennedy said Ken-tucky’s youth went to A&M’s advantage.

“This is a special place, it’s hard to win here,” Kennedy said. “I’m really proud of the fight that our team showed today. [Turner] got a lot of opportunities to score and Kentucky’s young and you were able to see that. For-tunately, we took advantage of it.”

A&M held the Wildcats’ superstar freshman forward Nerlens Noel to just 15 points and 11 rebounds for the game. Freshman Archie Goodwin led Kentucky in scoring, recording 17 points

for the day. The Aggies will host No.

11 Florida (12-2, 2-0) Thurs-day at Reed Arena, hoping to notch a league-best 3-0 in SEC conference play.

As students entered town for the start of the spring semester, the Texas A&M women’s basketball team showed they were in mid-season form. The Aggies eased to a 78-56 victory over the Auburn Tigers Sunday af-ternoon at Reed Arena.

The Aggies started the game on a 16-4 run with senior guard Adrienne Pratcher and junior cen-ter Kelsey Bone leading the way with eight and six points respectively.

Bone led all scorers in the game with 19 points, while the Aggies led a bal-anced attack with four players with double-digit scoring performances.

Bone shared the secret to her success.

“I’ve just relaxed,” Bone said. “I’ve always felt like I’ve had to prove a point. I just decided to let the game come to me, now the point has been proven — so to speak.”

The A&M defense kept a secure lead for the Aggies throughout the game as they forced 15 turnovers, had four blocked shots and recorded seven steals.

The Aggies went into the locker room at halftime with a 43-23 lead, 22 of those points coming in the paint and 15 through fast breaks compared to Auburn’s 14 and two, respectively.

Auburn shot no free throws through the first half and only received four points from their bench.

The second half started off completely opposite of the

first half as Auburn went on an 8-2 run before the Aggies got settled in.

Head coach Gary Blair said his team has to play better in the second half.

“We played a perfect first half,” Blair said. “The trouble is the second half. It’s the turnovers.”

After only eight turnovers in the first half, the Aggies gave the ball away 14 times in the second half.

Texas A&M worked past the turnovers as senior for-ward Kristi Bellock along with Bone both attained double-doubles, grabbing 10

rebounds each. Bellock had 13 points on the night.

Freshman guard Court-ney Walker was the second leading scorer for the Aggies, but struggled in the first half with only six points. Walker said the key was focusing on defense.

“[Coach Blair] told me to work on defense,” Walker said. “Guarding their best player and playing hard. The offense eventually came.”

The Aggies have a week off before they travel to Geor-gia to take on the Bulldogs next Sunday.

“Camaraderie, friendship and brotherhood were mold-ed here,” Perry said. “Your time here is more than about yourself. One person will be successful only if all of you are.”

Perry continued by ad-dressing the unit’s 31 new members directly.

“You are now part of a legacy changing the world,” Perry said. “It’s good to see the Tiger flying once again.”

Other former students at-tending the morning ceremo-ny were excited to see the unit revived.

“I’m looking forward to seeing them bring back our old traditions,” said Tony Godinez, Class of 1990. “A lot of us like to come back on football game days to visit the quad, and having our old outfit around will be even better.”

Echoing some of the Gov-ernor’s comments, Godinez emphasized the bonds formed within Squadron 6.

“Going out to bonfire with my buddies from [Squad-ron 6] formed the strongest friendships in my outfit, and was one of my favorite mem-ories at A&M,” Godinez said.

In assuming the mantle of leadership, Aguilera said he is striving to give back to the University and the many for-mer students who paved the way for his success.

“This is a great day to be part of a great legacy,” Agu-ilera said.

Aguilera then turned to the crowd and made a prom-ise that his outfit would be committed to the excel-lence that former students had embraced.

“You are our legacy, what we look forward to one day being,” Aguilera said. “We will take care of the Corps and we will make you proud.”
