Childress adjusts players’ positions in search for perfect line-up

Roger Zhang — THE BATTALION

Senior second baseman Scott Arthur slides into second base in a game against Illinois-Chicago. Ultimately, the Aggies won the series against the Flames.

Change up

Through the first seven games of the year, the No. 10 Texas A&M baseball team committed just one error, good for one of the top marks in the country. But Feb. 28’s matchup against Northwestern State kick-started a rash of sloppy play as the Aggies went on to commit 22 errors during the next 11 games, causing the team’s fielding percentage to dip to a pedestrian .968.

The unsightly trend carried into the Big 12 season opener against Kansas State, when the team committed three more miscues against the Wildcats in an eventual 12-15 loss. The lowlight of the slump was senior third baseman Matt Juengel’s misthrow to

first, an air-mailed ball with a passport at-tached that would’ve knocked out an in-attentive fan, had the infield netting not served as a buffer.

The next day, head coach Rob Childress shuffled around the lineup, moving fresh-man second baseman Blake Allemand to third and slotting senior utility man Scott Arthur in Allemand’s vacated spot. The Ag-gies went on to win the contest by a tally of 9-2, and stifled the Wildcats again on Sun-day with a 7-2 victory. Juengel, contribut-ing with a bat rather than a glove, drove in two runs as the team’s designated hitter.

“Juengel’s a great infielder,” Arthur said. “He just had a couple of games where, like

A&M ski team competes in tournament

As Texas thaws into spring, waterski teams from across the nation will descend

upon Lake Conroe for the Fighting Tex-as Aggie Waterski Team’s 37th annual Polar Bear tourna-ment.

The team, created in 1975, is affiliated with the Depart-ment of Recreational Sports and competes as a sports club. The No. 11 ranked team will be competing against the No. 1 ranked University of Louisiana-Monroe, the No. 2 ranked University Louisi-ana-Lafayette and the No. 16 ranked Texas State, among others.

Jim Norton, president of the club and sophomore electrical engineering major, said this weekend will be a collegiate three-part competition: slalom, tricks and jump-ing. Norton said jumping is the favorite.

“There’s a five foot ramp on the lake,

Barrett House The Battalion

and you can get up to 34 mph and essen-tially you just cut out, hit the ramp, go over the top of it and see how far you can fly,” Norton said. “It’s a cool feeling going over and being in the air. And, if you don’t make it, everybody on the sidelines gets to see a good crash.”

Norton said the team is open to all stu-dents — even those who have never water skied.

“We have people who have never even

Aggies respond to death of Florida teen

On Feb. 26 in Sanford, Fla., 28 year-old George Zimmerman, captain of his neighborhood watch, allegedly took it upon himself to approach a “suspicious looking” 17 year-old, Trayvon Martin. The events that ensued have sparked a nationwide outcry that justice is done. In an attempt to spread awareness of the death of Martin at the hands of Zimmerman, students have been plac-ing Skittles on the statue of Lawrence Sullivan Ross.

Why Skittles? Martin was armed with nothing more than Skittles and iced tea, which he had just bought at a convenience store. The Skittles, along with the hoodie Martin was wearing, have become symbols of the event, prompting national action like the Million Hoodie March in New York City.

Sophomore political science major Aja Holston has been one of the stu-dents involved in spreading the news on campus. While there are many is-sues surrounding the case, Holston said she, along with other minority students, recognize the racial aspect, causing them to act. On Wednesday night Holston and others held a candle light vigil for Martin and other victims.

“We decided to call it the Black

Youth Vigil because Trayvon Martin isn’t the first black man to die senselessly, and he won’t be the last. So we wanted to honor those who have fallen,” Holston said.

Holston said it’s important to get Aggies in-volved, hence putting Skittles on the Sul Ross statue. While Holston said she focuses on the racial aspect, she said this event should be of wide-scale importance.

“Some people have shied away from this case because they feel like it’s a black-white component,” Holston said. “It’s something everyone should be involved with. The fight is against the system that has protected [Zim-merman] and the institution that is going to protect people like that.”

Others issues surrounding the case include some recently changed legislation in Florida that gave its citizens the right to defend them-selves, as opposed to just attempting to escape from danger. In 2004, “Stand Your Ground” was passed, and it said that, in a dangerous situation, a citizen could stand and meet force with force.

Joe Ura, assistant professor of political sci-ence, said Texas has a similar law — the Castle Doctrine — but differs in where a citizen can practice this right.

“In Flordia it doesn’t matter where you are in terms of what your rights are for defending yourself,” Ura said. “In Texas you have many more rights if you’re in your home or on your

property than you do if you’re out in public.”Ura said, according to what he has seen in

the media, Zimmerman was wrong in what he did, and shouldn’t be able to claim that he defended himself.

“It certainly seems to me he escalated a situation that didn’t need to be escalated. It appears that there is evidence that he was not in fact threatened by the teenager,” Ura said. “And if that in fact is the case, then he is a murderer and not someone who has defended himself.”

Ura added that in Texas law, there is a pro-vision that states someone cannot claim self-defense if they provoke the other person.

Students on campus, like sophomore gen-eral studies major Shenell Encalarde, said that it is important for Aggies to become aware of what has happened — especially since this case has been handled poorly from the start, Encalarde said.

“[Zimmerman] has still not been arrested. The whole situation was wrong in the first place,” Encalarde said. “It seems like even the government has been taken to a whole other level, because it wasn’t taken care of from the beginning in the right manner it should have been.”

Encalarde said it’s important for Aggies to unite for the cause of bringing Zimmerman to justice.

“We want to unite for social justice and stand up for what we believe in, because, if you fail to stand for anything that you believe in, then you’ll fall for anything,” Encalarde said.

seen skis,” Norton said. “We’ll get them up, let them ride around a bit, they’ll stick with it and keep going, and eventually, by the time they graduate, they’ll be going through the course.”

Kara Cash, secretary of the team and junior mechanical engineering major, said she has been skiing since she was seven. She joined the A&M team because of her love for the sport. Cash said those who are interested should look into the team.

“You should really come and join. It’s a re-ally fun sport, and we can definitely teach you,” Cash said. “We do a bunch of social events too, and you get to come hang out on a boat.”

Members of the team said they are look-ing forward to the tournament and the level of competition the other schools bring. Clark Pantel, vice-president of the team junior com-munication major, said he has competed in

three tournaments and enjoys the competition. “I enjoy competing in tournaments because

of the competition level,” Pantel said. “We compete with the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the nation, so seeing nationally acclaimed skiers is a hell of an experience.”

Pantel said the A&M team has members who can compete at a national level, while others are there just to have fun.

“There’s talent all over. We have some peo-ple who have skied since they were in their early childhood and can compete well with ev-erybody,” Pantel said. “We have others who are out there to enjoy the sun and have fun.”

Pantel said the team is close-knit, but always welcomes new members who want to learn how to water ski or improve on what they al-ready know.

“Give it the old college try,” Pantel said. “We’re a really open group to whoever comes out. I’ve only been here for two semesters, and I’m already an officer on the team, and I feel right at home with everybody there.”

a lot of infielders do, he had a couple bad games in the field, but he’s fine. Blake [Allemand]’s comfortable over there, I’m comfortable at second, and we’ve got a great relationship.”

Allemand has made the transition seamlessly, and has yet to record an error while patrolling the hot corner.

“I’m just happy to be on the field, so I’ll do what-ever they tell me to do,” Allemand said. “Third base is fun. I’m getting more comfortable the more I play there, so it’s not too bad.”

This isn’t a typical situa-tion of the senior showing the ropes to the rookie. Al-lemand won a starting spot early in the season and has started 14 of the team’s 21 games. Arthur, on the other hand, spent the previous three seasons showing up to Olsen Field not knowing if he’d get a chance to play.

“My four years here, I’ve been in and out of the line-up — starting one weekend, then there could be two or three weeks where I don’t even see the field,” Arthur said. “It’s taught me to be tough mentally. It’s all about knowing your role on the team and doing what you

can to help us win a cham-pionship. And if everyone can have that mindset of be-ing prepared and acting like they’re in the starting lineup every day, then we’ve got a great chance to do well in the postseason.”

The roster card changes could have sown discord in the clubhouse of a team that had lost four of its previous five games, but the fact that feathers have remained un-ruffled showcases the integ-rity and unity of this tight-knit group.

“Everybody knows what their job is on our team,” sophomore catcher Troy Stein said. “I know Matty [Juengel] wants to be in the lineup and playing third base, but if our team can be better with Allemand at third and Scott [Arthur] at second, I think he’s very willing to do that.”

This weekend’s series against Pepperdine, the first road trip of the season for the Aggies, offers another opportunity to test the ros-ter changing experiment.

“They have a good re-cord,” Allemand said. “They’ve had some great wins, and I’m pretty sure they beat Oklahoma twice this year. Coach says it’s a big series for RPI [rating percentage index] purposes, and we’re going there to try to win the series.”
