Hurricane Isaac breached the south-eastern coast of Louisiana Tuesday night, leaving Texas A&M and Louisi-ana Tech without a season opener.

The storm, recorded as a Category 1

hurricane, is expected to be too much of a threat to players and spectators at Independence Stadium in Shreveport, La.

“Players would be at risk. Families would be at risk,” said Steven Parr, Shreveport’s chief meteorologist. “From a moral standpoint, they have to be cautious. There are too many sce-narios where the consequences aren’t worth risking.”

Unwilling to cancel due to possi-

bly affecting late season rankings, the two programs agreed to postpone the nationally acclaimed contest. The date is set for the week both Texas A&M and Louisiana Tech had a bye the same week: Oct. 13.

That week would have been a break before facing LSU, ranked No. 3 in the preseason by The Associated Press.

Taking Louisiana Tech’s place as the season opener will be the Aggies’ first SEC conference matchup: Florida.

In a game many consider to be one of the most significant in A&M’s school history, the anticipation shifts to Sept. 8.

“It’s an interesting situation. We were all really excited to play [Loui-siana Tech],” said Spencer Nealy, A&M’s starting defensive tackle. “With Florida, though, we’re still going out there looking for a victory. It would

campus

Nearly one in every five A&M students descended upon Reed Arena to attend the first Breakaway gather-ing of the semester Tuesday night. Students began lining up outside the Reed’s doors an hour and half before the start of the event.

Breakaway began in 1989 when twelve Texas A&M students gathered in an apartment to pray together. Since its inception, Breakaway has grown from hundreds to thousands of students, now meeting at Reed Arena and Kyle Field. Breakaway is an of-ficial student organization of Texas A&M and one of the largest weekly non-sports related gathering of col-

lege students in the country.“Our goals would be for more stu-

dents than ever on campus to come to hear and know Jesus Christ and trust that he’s going to move in a powerful way on campus,” said Brent Monogue, Class of 2009 and the pro-duction and volunteer coordinator for Breakaway Ministries.

By promoting fellowship among students, Breakaway helps to ease the transition to college life. The highest percentage of Breakaway attendees is freshmen and sophomores.

“Absolutely I feel that many times freshmen show up and feel like they’re the only ones from their town, or the only Christian,” said Jeremy McCasland, Breakaway Ministries

director of operations. “Then they show up to Breakaway and they have a ‘wow’ moment where they realize that they’re not alone and have other people they can identify with. Many freshmen will be extremely encour-aged to know this happens weekly.”

Another one of Breakaway’s goals is to help students connect with local churches.

“We want to be good stewards with what God has blessed us with,” Monogue said. “It’s not just about what happens on Tuesday night. We want them to get plugged into churches in the area.”

In spite of its small staff, Breakaway

While most students are sit-ting through their first week of classes, others are making connections and establishing platforms at the Republican National Convention.

Jess Fields, class of 2010, serves as the first delegate in Congressional District 17. Senior education major Ryan Davenport, who served as SGA Vice President last year, is an alternate delegate for the state of Texas. Jared Sexton, class of 2011, who was recog-nized as member of the year in SGA, is his allotted guest.

“Four years ago I watched the Republican National Convention and I said, ‘you

know what, in four years I’d like to do that,’” Davenport said.

Both Fields’ and Daven-port’s journey to Tampa, Fla. began in Brazos County, where they participated in lo-cal elections. Fields is current-ly serving as a College Station city councilman. Fields and Davenport then went on to run for delegate at the Texas state convention, and earned positions that got them tickets to Tampa, Fla.

Sexton said many of the logistical details of the event, such as nominating a presi-dential candidate, were taken care of before the convention.

Former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney receives Republican nomination

The 2012 political season sparked at the Republican National Convention despite the brief stall provided by Hurricane Isaac. After months of debate inside the Republi-can Party, former Massachu-setts Gov. Mitt Romney has been given the presidential nomination.

The announcement came Tuesday night after conven-tion officials had decided to postpone convention pro-ceedings due to the storm that had barely missed Tampa Bay, Fla., where the conven-tion is being held.

Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan received the vice-presidential

nomination. Although Romney won’t

be accepting the nomination until Thursday, Republican leaders from across the nation are attending, offering their views on Romney, President Barack Obama and the coun-try.

Aggies on campus are pay-ing attention to Tampa as they await they’re opportu-nity to take part in the demo-cratic process. The Texas Ag-gie Conservatives held their first meeting of the semester following Romney’s nomi-nation.

“I think Mitt Romney is pretty much a done deal,” said junior biochemistry

As Hurricane Isaac made landfall over southeastern Loui-siana, emergency response team Texas Task Force One was activated for deployment in anticipation of the storms potential destruction.

Isaac hit the coast of Louisiana Tuesday night as a Category 1 hurricane.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency called out to state agencies for assistance in Louisiana Monday night. Texas Task Force One, or TX-TF1 — a part of TEEX, the Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service — will be available to assist in search and rescue operations.

“They’re staging at a safe distance in Louisiana and will be riding out the storm,” said Brian Blake, the communications director for TEEX. “And then they go to work to assist local officials wherever they’re needed.”

TEEX is responsible for the Fire Training School and Disas-ter City and its members have received training from all over the world. Task Force members range from firefighters and medical personnel, to structural engineers. As well, members come from all areas capable of reporting to College Station within a five-hour window.

“They’re actually based [in College Station] and they’re deployed out of [College Station],” said Steven Moore, vice chancellor of marketing and communications for the A&M System. “Anytime something like this happens they’re on call and FEMA makes a decision on deployment, and they did last night.”

The response showcases the University System’s sense of service as they continually deploy to these situations, A&M Chancellor John Sharp said.

“The Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service-spon-sored Texas Task Force One is consistently called to serve in severe conditions,” Sharp said. “This most recent deployment to assist in Louisiana with Hurricane Isaac is a prime example of their importance to the nation.”

The Task Force deployed for Hurricane Isaac will be the first emergency response team deployed in Texas since the wildfires plagued Bastrop last September.

According to a press release from TEEX, TX-TF1 has been deployed 80 times since 1997 and responded to emergencies such as the Space Shuttle Columbia incident, Sept. 11, 2001, and Hurricanes Katrina, Ike and Rita.

“Ninety percent of Texas Task Force One members have a role in the search and rescue community: firefighters, EMTs, paramedics,” Blake said. “Ten percent come from other pro-fessions: doctors, nurses, structural engineers, small business owners.”

The Task Force deployed for Hurricane Isaac will be the first emergency response team deployed in Texas since the wildfires plagued Bastrop last September.

is able to organize its weekly large-scale gatherings with aid of several student volun-teers. Currently, Breakaway employs the use of more than 170 student volunteers, who are divided into various teams.

“The volunteers run Breakaway,” McCasland said. “They are vital to keeping Breakaway running year after year.”

In addition to being at-tended by thousands of A&M students every Tuesday, Breakaway also has an audio and video podcast down-loaded by people around the world.

“Over a hundred countries listen in weekly,” McCasland said. “Over 20,000 people lis-ten to the podcast.”

For one student volunteer, Breakaway serves as a unique and fulfilling experience.

“It’s really rewarding to be able to serve the guests of Breakaway but in turn, the students of A&M,” said Jenna Harrison, senior recreation parks and tourism sciences major and Breakaway vol-unteer. “It’s humbling to see how many students come to-gether to put on Breakaway.”

Breakaway Ministries op-erates under the supervision

of a board of directors. These individuals provide insight to the director of Breakaway, Ben Stuart, and oversee all the ministry’s major deci-sions. This board is comprised of five men, some of whom are pastors in the community and professors at Texas A&M.

Stuart has been the Execu-tive Director for Breakaway since the summer of 2005. After graduating from Texas A&M in 1998, Stuart served as a youth pastor, a teacher at Houston’s Metro Bible Study and as a speaker at youth camps and conferences. In May of 2012, Stuart gradu-ated from Dallas Theological Seminary. His wife, Donna, is a worship leader, playing for various events around the state. They live in College Station and have one daugh-ter.

According to the ministry’s mission statement, Breakaway exists to introduce college stu-dents to Christianity and walk with them throughout their time at Texas A&M, teaching them from the Bible and wor-shipping together. This goal is accomplished through Bible study, worship, conferences and the creation of other stu-dent resources. Breakaway is not affiliated with any one church, but works to con-nect students to local, Bible-believing churches.

BreakawayContinued from page 1

“At this point, national conventions are really just a celebration and getting together to unite the party,” Sexton said.

The men are able to experience all that the convention has to offer. As a state delegate, Fields will be influenc-ing the platform to favor Texas interests. He will be voting on issues such as party platform, rules and nomination for the president and vice president of the Re-publican Party.

“This is an experience that will al-low me to have some small measure of

influence within the Republican Party, which I believe is the only party which can restore our constitution and the founding principles of the country,” Fields said.

They will be attending meet-and-greets hosted by officials, as well as par-ties thrown by major corporations. Sex-ton said he was most looking forward to the extravagant parties that will have great food, an open bar and entertain-ment.

For the young men, this is the expe-rience of a lifetime. They are some of the youngest members of the conven-tion, and are influencing a platform that could change the direction of our nation.

“It’s an honor that people older and wiser than me gave me the opportunity to be here,” Davenport said. “It’s not everyday that people get to meet their heroes.”

Fields, Davenport and Sexton each said they see a value in being involved in local politics and plan to use the con-nections they make during this week to further their careers.

Aggies who do not plan to attend the convention can take advantage of the technology featured online. The Repub-lican “convention without walls” makes the event accessible to people around the country through social media, live chats, apps and live video streaming.

Alexander said Echo Taps is geared more toward cadets.

“It’s for those people or events that had a direct impact on the Corps it-self in some shape or form,” Alexan-der said.

Alexander said the decision to wear Midnights — the Corps’ dress uniform — and hold Echo Taps was made Tuesday.

The Texas A&M University Police Department issued a report Monday afternoon stating Carey had been missing since Thursday. Later reports stated Carey’s car, a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer, had been found in Marlin, Texas, which is between Bryan-Col-lege Station and Waco off Highway 6.

Later UPD released a statement saying a body was discovered in a heavily wooded area adjacent to where Carey’s vehicle was found.

Investigators are still working to discern the identity of the body.

have been nice to have some experience as a team, but now we have a lot more time to prepare. More time is never bad time.”

This past February, Texas A&M replaced their presched-uled opener against McNeese State with Louisiana Tech, hoping to garner increased na-tional recognition versus the Western Athletic Conference’s 2011 champion.

A&M students from around campus have also been affected, driven to cancel their early se-mester plans to visit Louisiana.

“I was really looking forward to hitting up Shreveport for the game,” senior chemical engi-neering major David Young said. “It was disappointing they had to move the date. Now we even have to go up against Florida first. That in itself is somewhat nerve-racking.”

Beutel doctor offers students advice on how to stay hydrated

Beat the campus heat

Staying outside for extended periods of time can cause heat stroke or exhaustion, and sweating can quickly lead to dehydration. Stu-dents walking through campus are at risk of both. The medical staff at Beutel Health Cen-ter offers multiple tips to students about stay-ing cool during the sweltering final months of summer.

“Drink plenty of fluids,” said Dr. David Teller of A.P. Beutel. “I’ve seen more people with umbrellas this summer, which, while not normal, is a great idea. Wear light-colored clothing; try to do things in the cooler parts of the day.”

A form of hyperthermia, heat strokes can be fatal if not promptly and properly treated. In extreme heat and high humidity, the human body may not be able to dissipate internal heat generated as a result of metabolism, which can raise the person’s body temperature. Also, someone who is dehydrated may not be able to produce sweat, which can aid in the cool-ing process.

“Not sweating is not good,” Teller said.

T he end of August means

that school is back in

session and temperatures

outside have reached their peak.

High temperatures and humid-

ity rates in College Station can

pose a health threat to college

students commuting on a con-

crete-filled campus if they don’t

take precautions.

“Sweating is the body’s way of releasing ex-cess heat.

The most frequently recommended meth-od of staying cool is drinking plenty of water. When it’s hot and the body loses water due to sweat, the easy solution is to replace the lost water. As a result, the body is less likely to become dehydrated or overheated.

“I bring a water bottle and use the water fountains in different buildings,” said senior mechanical engineering major Tim Attaway.

While hydrating may seem easy, it is actually quite difficult to replace lost fluids if one gets too behind in this vital task. During the hot summer months, students need to drink as least eight cups of water a day, especially if they are doing activities outside.

“If you get behind as far as taking fluids in, it can be hard to catch up,” Teller said.

Other students get creative with the routes they take to class. During the summer, many students stay cool by walking to class through areas of campus that have more shade or even cutting through buildings.

“If I see a shady route and a sunny route, I take the shady route,” said senior university studies major Hunter Stolte. “I walk through buildings as much as I can or take the bus.”

Staying cool and hydrated on campus is es-sential to the well-being of college students. The consequences of heat stroke include dis-orientation, a higher body temperature, dry skin and loss of consciousness, while dehydra-tion can lead to hunger, headaches and low blood pressure.

All health effects are detrimental to students who wish to perform well in school, but the simplest way to prevent disaster can be found in a bottle.

“Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate — that’s the big thing,” Teller said.

major and Chairman of Aggie Conserva-tives Marc Pitts. “I’m hoping he’s going to ad-dress the economic crisis that we are having.”

Others said they are excited to hear that Ryan has received the vice-presidential nomi-nation and what he has to contribute.

“I think that Paul Ryan represents real so-lutions to real problems,” said freshman eco-nomics major Brenton Cooper. “I think it will be fun to watch the debates between him and [Joe] Biden.”

Sophomore general studies major Luke Schneider said Ryan is a good fit for Romney because of his economic experience.

“I think Paul Ryan will actually do a good job advising Mitt Romney,” Schneider said. “He seems to have economic policy knowl-edge which I think will help Mitt Romney’s economic decision-making.”

Though Romney may struggle with more conservative voters, Cooper said he is confi-dent for a Romney win.

“I think his biggest struggle has been get-ting the real conservatives and Ron Paul is his

biggest competition,” Cooper said. “I think Romney will definitely win though.”

Students outside of organizations are also perking up as the campaign season unfolds. The economic situation has been something many have addressed, including junior bio-medical sciences major Emily Moore.

“If he is going to be president, he needs to answer the hard questions, especially on eco-nomic policy,” Moore said.

Some students, like freshman political sci-ence major Caitlyn Moravits, said they merely see Romney as an alternative to Obama, even if he’s not their favorite candidate.

“I like Romney because I am not support-ing Barack Obama,” Moravits said. “I want to get a representative in who shares more of the same views as me. I wish there were someone else out there, but he is all we have.”

Outside of views, students said they’re ex-cited simply because of their interest in poli-tics.

“It is an exciting time for me though as a political science major,” Moravits said. “I am definitely watching the convention.”

The Texas Aggie Conservatives held their first meeting Tuesday night in the MSC after Romney’s presidential nomination.
