THE BATTALION
The nation watched as Texas
A&M students and fans arrived
one week ago to Kyle Field for
the game against Oklahoma State
University adorned in red, white
and blue. Amazement spread
across the crowd when it was
announced at halftime that more
than 70,000 Red, White and Blue
Out T-shirts had been sold, and
approximately $150,000 had
been raised.
This is one example of Aggies
spending time and effort to
relieve those affected by the
recent tragedies in New York
City and Washington, D.C.
Several student organizations
such as Alpha Phi Omega, MSC
Hospitality and One Army spent
countless hours printing, boxing
and distributing the T-shirts.
The idea that A&M fans wear
red, white and blue at the game
first was proposed on the
TexAgs.com Website. From this
suggestion, Eric Bethea envi
sioned the entire student body
wearing red, white or blue
according to the deck they
stood on, said Josh
Rosinski, a senior
petroleum engi
neering major.
C&C Creations,
a local printing
company, helped
organize a methtxl
to put Bethea’s idea
into affect. They
did not ask for
money upfront for the T-shirts.
C&C Creations said a
method for payment would
be decided after the sales
were made. C&C Creation’s
main concern was to con
tribute to what they believed
was a good cause.
Volunteers worked around
the clock during the week
before the game printing and
selling the shirts.
“Students and other volun
teers were up at 5:30 a.m. to
print, load and box shirts,”
Rosinski said. “We printed
shirts until 9 a.m. on game day.
You don’t find people like that
anywhere but Aggieland.”
Some Aggies have felt the
desire to offer on-site assistance
to those in New York City.
Heath Hobler, a senior
renewable resources major,
and Kris Long, a sophomore
aerospace engineering major,
wanted to contribute all they
could toward those in need.
They decided to pack their
bags and drive an entire day to
New York City. Hobler and
Long volunteered by soi
water for the emergency
“The really amazing
was just seeing how the
came together,” Hobler said.
“You couldn't walk anyw
without people telling
‘Thank you.”’
Several other efforts k
been made to raise money
New York City and Washing;
DC.
Karl Pfluger, a junior
cal science major and me^] ,
of Beta Theta Pi, said he
fellow members of the frati
ty proposed a challenge
fraternities and sororities in
Greek system at A&M.
“We decided to add SW
our dues as a contribution to
New York City World Ti
Center Relief Fund,”
said. “We are challenging
