Howdy Ags,
My name is Christophor Faust, and I am a Ph.D. Student in the Interdisciplinary Engineering Department ofTexas A & M University
(TAMU) and President of the Sustainable Building Association. I would like to offer you a personal tour of theTAMU “Fathause”, The
Worlds First Sustainable Hause™.
I have been working for the last seven years to create a modern “green” dwelling that can drastically reduce the need for energy required
to maintain an internal living environment. The FatHause is a living, breathing and thinking addition to the natural ecosystem that acts
as an environmentaliy-ffiendly and sustainable home designed to last for hundreds of years.
You have seen this distinctive home located at the corner of Lincoln and Nunn streets in College Station that currently looks like a large
Styrofoam cooler, but in a few short days, it will embark on its journey of 1000 years as we finish the external construction. I believe it
is about to spawn one of the greatest traditions to ever grace TAMU and it is my hope that I can indude you in this endeavor.
I am seeking a diverse group of Aggies to live in this new house and Parmer in a sustainable living study to enhance the performance of
this unique stmeture. The first year Parmer’s will be required to make the interior design choices, including paint, tile, cabinets, furniture,
and appliances. They will also help to establish the homes many functional amenities including an outdoor movie theater, king size hot
tub, rooftop garden and curb view landscape, and to oversee the installation process this summer. This aspect of the project has a $50,000
budget, plus twelve 12 th Man $2000 work/study fellowships for those persons selected to participate in the study. The home has to be
ready for the August 16, 2003 grand opening and back to school party that we want to publicize nationally on MTV’s Real World or a
similar venue.
Again, I would like to ask that you allow me to give you a short tour and presentation of the opportunities provided by the extraordinary
dwelling. I designed this structure with the modem woman in mind and believe that if a few of you ladies would help by sharing a lit
tle of your hearts, and minds, that it will become one of the greatest homes on the planet. I know I am a dreamer...and might very well
be a delusional romantic too, but I swear to God I truly believe what I profess about this home! A home not only worthy of our Ag Spirit
and truly World-Class University, but one that will act as a standard for all live-in systems, for all time. Ag Word!!!
Time is short; applications (www.fathause.com) must be received by Earth Day April 22 nd , with final selection of first-year partners on
the 26 th . Please feel free to contact me at any time at c-faust@tamu.edu or (979) 693-8920...or better yet just stop by for a tour any after
noon through the end of Earth Week.
Sincerely,
Christophor Faust (92, 95, 2003 ???)

“When Texas and A&M com
pete, it is always a battle so you
can throw out the records and the
rankings and throw out everything
because it is a war,” Kleinecke
said. “We beat them a few years
ago at their place so we know that
we can beat them over there.”
These last three matches, all
of which are against Big 12
opponents, are crucial for
A&M and its end-of-season
tournament seeding.
Kansas State (10-4, 5-2 Big
12) occupies the conference spot
just south of the Aggies at num
ber four, as A&M owns a tenuous
one-match lead over KSU with
their match slated for Friday.
“WeTl be in Kansas City two
weeks in a row so we’re using
this week to help prepare us for
the trip to the conference tourna
ment,” Kleinecke said. “We’ve
had comparable results all year
long to Kansas State, so 1 think
the victory will come down to
whoever plays the best that day.”
A&M is getting solid and con

batting average, 12 home runs
and 51 RBIs.
The Aggies will have to stop
the running game of the
Mavericks who have stolen 62
bases this season on 85 attempts
(73 percent).
A&M catchers have only
thrown out 10 runners in 59
stolen base attempts (17 percent).
Johnson said the Aggies have
worked on stopping teams’ run
ning games this season.
“Since the Texas Tech series it
hasn’t been as much of a factor,”
Johnson said. “I thought after that
series everyone was going to be
running on us on every pitch but
we have done a much better job.
We started doing some slide steps
and picking them off a little tin*
to negate easy opportunities.”
Johnson said the teams ^
