Enrollment flat; focus moves to retention TAYLOR HENSON REPORTER

espite spending thousands of dollars on recruitment, university enrollment has remained flat. Fred Dietz, vice president of enrollment, said the next phase is to make an effort to focus recruiting in larger populated areas, since the university has the capacity to grow. “Several years ago, the decision was made to start looking at Dallas/Fort Worth more and Houston more. Areas where there are just larger populations, and about three years ago we started making that transition to recruit heavier out of those areas,” Dietz said. Dietz said although focused on larger population centers, recruiting students from smaller surrounding areas and regions is still part of recruitment efforts. Texas education is separated into regions and Midwestern is located in Region 9. It is among the few schools in this region where high school enrollments are declining. Dietz said as another approach to grow enrollment, dual credit courses are being implemented.

When students enroll in dual credit courses they will have access to classes, transferable college credits, library resources, access to cultural and athletic events, and more. Students taking dual credit courses may also be eligible to receive a Dual Credit Scholarship. “We are really expanding the options for students in the area and outside of our region to take dual credit classes. That we think will help with enrollment,” Dietz said. According to the Board of Regents data, the retention rate since 2015 has been steadily declining, although and is expected to be back up to 75 percent in the 2019-2020 school year. “When you look at the last five years, its gone from roughly 72 percent to about 65 percent. What that means is the freshman who came in fall of 2017, only 65 percent returned for fall of 2018,” Dietz said. Dietz said the key to growing enrollment is retention and when looking at data of students not returning, the ones not coming back are from areas farther away from the university. “We’re working on getting students better connected, better resources, and more activi-

ties. We are really taking the time to look at the data, and begin this summer of the new students who come in, of being more intentional in terms of orientation and with advising,” Dietz said. Dietz said after coming to summer orientation, you come back in the fall for classes to begin, and you’re just on your own, so keeping connected with students throughout the year is a hopeful attempt to keep student retention. “Our thought is, we’re going to have you come for summer orientation and we are going to extend that orientation into your freshman year, so that your first semester about mid-way through we are going to connect with you again-and then second semester, freshman year we will connect again, making sure students are getting the resources they need. That is just one example of trying to keep students connected,” Dietz said. Marina Candelaria, radiology senior, said the best part about the school is the student teacher ratio, and the small campus that helps to stay connected easier and why she came back to finish her degree here.

“My favorite part of attending here [Midwestern State University] is the atmosphere, and I love how everyone knows each other. It was easy for me to get involved on campus and most importantly I love the student-teacher ratio. That was very essential to me during my time here,” Candelaria said. Candelaria said she has suggested many people to look into attending the school “I have persuaded a few people to look into attending, and my selling point is always the size of the school.” Shelby Moss, criminal justice junior, also said the size of the school is what drew her in. “My favorite part about attending here is the size. It is small and you actually get to know people,” Moss said. John Contreras, geology senior, said the small campus helps to meet others, keeps students focused on their studies but also have fun as well. “It is easy to get to know everyone in your major and even other students in different departments. The campus environment makes it easy to stay focused on school and can be fun as well,” Contreras said.

International recruitment is doing well OUR VIEW: The Wichitan staff believes the international office and coaches make the process of enrolling easier for the students to transition into university.

oaches and the international office are responsible for handiling international athletes recruitment and they do a great job at this. The international office is in charge of the recruitment process. To make the process easier each staff member is given an individual role. For example, one staff member covers insurance questions and another covers documentation. Breaking down the process makes transitioning easier and keeps students interested in attending the university. Jedeshkeran Chandrasegaran, mechanical engineering senior from Sri Lanka, said the recruitment process is easy for incoming international students. Going to a school at a university in the United State can make it easier to juggle both school and sports versus home. It can also give students qualities employers will be looking for. “I could have gone pro in the Netherlands but I would have been as a third goalkeeper, at the same time I would have to give up school and wouldn’t be able to get a good salary in the future, so I didn’t feel it was worth it since I felt that I also wanted to get a college degree,” Luuk Teurlinx, mechanical engineering junior, said.

Mazzio’s buffet fills the stomach I

am not originally a fan of pizza, but Mazzio’s surprised me. My boyfriend and I arrived at Mazzio’s March 25 to try it out for the first time. We were warmly welcomed at the door by a nice young lady and she helped us decide on the buffet. Mazzio’s has a variety of options from calzones to pasta so I wanted to try a little bit Alyssa of everything. Mitchell The buffet cost me $11.95 after tax and it was well worth it. I started off my dinner with a nice salad consisting of lettuce, broccoli, cheese, ham bits, carrots, egg and croutons. The salad surprised me because while it was like I made it at home, the ingredients were really fresh. I didn’t have any wilted lettuce or bad veggies at all. Moving on to the pizza; I had four small slices, one cheesy alfredo, one Canadian bacon, a spinach and alfredo and to end it I had a two meat slice. The cheesy alfredo started the pizzas off right. I had just the right amount of sauce and cheese and they were combined perfectly. No one flavor overpowered the other and it had a nice crisp (but not burnt) crust. It almost tasted like alfredo pasta.

The Canadian bacon was your traditional type. It had marinara sauce and just the right amount of cheese, but it didn’t make me crave another piece. The next piece I tried was the two meat. This pizza had me a little confused. I knew that one was sausage and the other looked like thinly sliced bacon but it did not taste like it. I was not thrilled about this pizza slice and stopped eating it very promptly. Last but not least is the spinach alfredo pizza. This was my absolute favorite of the pizzas! The spinach competed fairly with the alfredo sauce and the nice thin crust, but the spinach was a little more flavorful than the sauce but I actually liked that. To finish off my dinner I had two of the cinnamon sticks. They were fabulous and tasted like the gooiest piece of a cinnamon roll. While I was munching on the pizza and cinnamon sticks, my boyfriend ordered a two meat, four cheese calzone. I tried a bite and the cheese just melted in mouth. It was seasoned to perfection and piping hot. All in all, my Mazzio’s experience was satisfactory. The dinner had its ups and downs but it was worth the money and time spent. I left stuffed and happy.

‘Captain Marvel’ an exciting and powerful origin story E Brian Lang

ver since Thanos snapped and half of the world’s population turned to dust last spring, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been on edge. It seems like no amount of superhero films can satisfy us until we see what’s going to happen next to “Earth’s mightiest heroes” but unfortunately, we still have to wait. So in the meantime, Marvel takes audiences back in time to where it all began: introducing us to a powerful, new star, “Captain

Marvel.” “Captain Marvel” has got it all: a cool, seemingly unstoppable heroine, a compelling origin story and a plethora of 90’s references and vibes including 1990’s Samuel L. Jackson. It’s hard not to love a film that’s this fun. “Captain Marvel,” the historic first Marvel female-led film, focuses on Veers (Brie Larson), a Kree pilot who has mysterious superpowers and flashbacks that she can’t quite explain. Veers trains with her mentor Yon-Rogg (Jude Law) in combat skills and controlling her powers, and while she’s an impressive soldier, her identity is still a mystery to her. After being taken prisoner by the Kree enemies —a group of shape-shifting alien “terrorists” called Skrull— Veers’s brain is sifted through and examined by her captors. Frankly, she’s just as clueless about her past as they are, but she soon escapes to a mysterious planet called C-53, aka Earth, landing in California in the year 1995. To be honest, this section of the film is the weakest, and I felt just as lost and confused as Veers for a while. When Veers teams up with a young Nick Fury (a very realistic digitally altered Samuel L. Jackson) she discovers the truth about her past as an Air Force pilot named Carol Danvers and fights to reclaim her identity and reach her full, awesome potential. “Captain Marvel” is one of the most fun Marvel films so far.

It doesn’t weigh itself down with brooding characters or complicated plot points, but it instead works to simply be a great origin story. It’s not every day that you see Nick Fury with both eyes standing outside a Blockbuster. The writers understand the potential that this story has and have successfully made the most of it. An all-star cast leads the way for this new, very powerful heroine with Oscar-winner Brie Larson taking center stage as Carol Danvers herself. Larson plays the hero with plenty of charisma and courage while making her immediately likable and easy to cheer for. Her character constantly perseveres under trials and gets back up again and again, even when she’s unsure of who she is as a person or how her past affects her current identity. However, I wish that Carol was a more well-rounded character. She has awesome powers and plenty of swagger, but many of her motivations come across as flat or unconvincing. It’s hard to read what she’s thinking and even compared to other Marvel characters, she doesn’t feel like a complete character. Larson is such a wonderful actress, but her talent wasn’t fully exhibited in this performance, which is disappointing. Samuel Jackson returns as his enigmatic, straight-talking Nick Fury, but with both eyes and a friendly demeanor. After being digitally de-aged Fury has a new pep in his step and joins in on the action more than he’s done in his past Marvel appearances. Annette Bening also does a fine job playing Carol’s mentor Dr. Wendy Lawson. Many people have criticized “Captain Marvel” for being lackluster, but its simplicity is what makes it so refreshing. It has several clever nods to other Marvel movies, but it also stands on its own while not taking itself too seriously. With plenty of action and humor, its two-hour runtime flies nearly as fast as Veers herself.

years. Faculty and staff were given the opportunity to meet VPAF candidate Brett Powell at an open session on March 25. Powell believes he is a good candidate for the position because of his experience working with liberal arts universities and lessons learned from being in difficult environments. “The experience that I’ve had in higher ed has really prepared me for this position because I’ve worked at other liberal arts universities for quite some time. And being in a number of difficult environments, you learn a lot of lessons from it that you pull forward everything that you do that comes after that,” Powell said. “So, I think have the right experience that I can provide good leadership to the administration and finance function here and hopefully fit in well with the rest of the team.”

BROOKE BROADSTREET

‘They motivate me by reminding me that I have a purpose’ BRIANNE FOURNIER REPORTER

iving each day with a smile on her face, Brooke Broadstreet, radiology sophomore, is juggling more than classes this semester. Apart from being a full-time student, she is also a Young Life leader and an intern for the Bridge, First Baptist’s college ministry. “My days are normally pretty busy... I’m always up before 9 a.m.,” said Broadstreet. “I like to start my days off by taking a shower or washing my face and listening to music.” After classes, Broadstreet is invested in sharing her love for Jesus. Having an internship with First Baptist college ministry, the Bridge, allows her to be more involved with the services and Bible studies. “On Tuesdays at work we set up everything before the Bridge service,” Broadstreet said. “Thursdays I work 1:30- 5 p.m., during this time we prepare for bible study at life groups for later that night. The past couple of weeks we have been doing a video series, so we watch a video and discuss questions together.”

Broadstreet’s passion is noticeable to those around her like Colton Boyd, mathematics senior and Bridge intern. “Brooke always works hard to prepare Bible studies, and gives great input on potential events we could do for these college students. God is really working though her, in her position as an intern at the bridge,” Boyd said. According to her co-worker and boss, Broadstreet’s constant ability to have fun and find the good in all situations helps her succeed. “Brooke is one of those people that is always fun to be around. It doesn’t matter how bad of a day you’re having she always cheers you up especially while working. She always makes work fun and it doesn’t feel like work when working with her,” said Josiah Beshear, education sophomore and Bridge intern. On top of that, Broadstreet spends a lot of time reaching out to high schoolers as a Young Life leader. “As a young life leader I invest in the lives of high school kids. On Monday night we have club where everyone meets up, and

then every Tuesday and Thursday I go to Old High around lunch and try to meet new high school kids to invite,” said Broadstreet. Her love and care for the teens at Young Life is a major aspect that stands out to Mercy Yermo, humanities and exercise physiology junior and co-leader at Young Life. “Her heart for the Lord is so evident in the way she treats each kid. It doesn’t matter who the kid is, she loves like no other,” Yermo said. Broadstreet said, being able to be apart of those organizations helps her grow spiritually and make new intentional friendships. Friday mornings, Broadstreet is up and ready for Bible study at 6:30 a.m. “I definitely have to drink coffee on Friday mornings to get through bible study and classes,” said Broadstreet. Broadstreet said her motivation to keep up with all of her responsibilities comes from her mother and grandmother. “I talk to them every single day and call them like five times a day. They motivate me by reminding me that I have a purpose and that I’m here for a reason. Also by reminding

me to shine my light, and the light of Jesus to anyone that I meet. They constantly push me to be better not only in school but also in my spiritual life,” Broadstreet said. To relieve the pressure of classes, Broadstreet said, she will do yoga or hangout with friends. “Classes can be overwhelming so I try to do yoga in my apartment everyday,” Broadstreet said. “Tuesdays and Wednesdays my friends and I go to lunch, and then walk around Sikes Lake and take the dogs to the dog park.” Broadstreet said Wednesdays are her more relaxed days. “On Wednesdays I only have one class so I use the rest of the day to get most of my school work done. Normally I will do homework or study and then do some yoga in my apartment. After, I’ll shower and go to lunch with my friends then usually come back and nap or do more homework. I try to be in bed by 10 p.m. because Thursdays I have my 8 a.m.,” she said. Broadstreet said when she doesn’t have events on the weekends

Coaches are real people too TAYLOR ANDERSON REPORTER

he wins. The losses. The expectations and the pressures. The coaches are the quiet ones, the ones that no one thinks about. They spend hours preparing the team, as well as themselves. But most of all they handle success and adversity differently with simplicity, family and consistency.

SIMPLICITY

Women’s head basketball coach Noel Johnson makes simplicity her key tool through the ups and downs of her coaching career. Johnson brought her talent and skill in 2009 to become the women’s head basketball coach. She has cultivated more than 125 wins and a Lone Star Conference Title in 2012-13. She gives credit to her former coach, Marsha Sharp, and to the mindset and culture she has developed within her program. “Her style was tough love and positivity, and we really had a good atmosphere and a good team. That’s something that I strive for us to have… Culture takes you further than more practice time, [and] more shot attempts. It takes you further because of the mentality you encompass in, a very positive, loving focused culture,” Johnson said. Johnson learned culture and positivity while assisting under Sharp and learned the art of simplicity while coaching under Tina I seek the simpleness of what they do and I think that’s one thing we do as coaches, we

try to over complicate things. When it needs to be one or two points, whether its a scout on the team, whether it’s focus on the practice, or whether it’s motivational speech before the game. Even the timeout, you have to keep it simple. Tina Slinker, 1989-2008 University of North Texas women’s head basketball coach. “Learning a different perspective from coach Slinker at the University of North Texas, the XOXO’s aspect. She really blew my mind how simple she made it and so I think that’s one of the people as far as coaching I’ve been around that taught me how to just keep the game simple for the kids and it keeps the game simple for myself,” Johnson said. Throughout her years in the basketball sport, Johnson went through a couple of rough patches but learned that keeping things simple is key for herself and her team. “I seek the simpleness of what they do and I think that’s one thing we do as coaches, we try to over complicate things. When it needs to be one or two points, whether its a scout on the team, whether it’s focus on the practice, or whether it’s motivational speech before the game. Even the timeout, you have to keep it simple,” Johnson said.

FAMILY

Cross Country and Track Head Coach Koby Styles has found success in combining his family and team as one unit. Styles came to the 2-year-old program with only five runners and ranked 12th in the conference in

2007. He then worked the program to 15th in the nation and four consecutive Conference Championships: 2008-2011. After losing their winning streak in 2012, placing second in the Confernce Championships, Styles learned the lesson of cherishing the teams victories. “That very next year in 2012 when we lost, I took that very hard, but it probably was the best thing for our program... I took everything for granted because we kept winning and being successful. Now its time to step back and you really enjoy when we win... and moments that you cherish when that happeneds because you don’t know when there going to come again. If everyone is buying into the program and loving one another, and trusting the process it just makes it that much greater,” Styles said. Styles learned to appreciate his program but also he appreciates his family and combining these two aspects together. “At Midwestern State, where it is so family oriented, you are able to give [my kids] those experiences. Being able to travel to a championship or go to nationals and they are able to hop on a plane with the team and go. Including them in the whole process of everything... If you can incorporate them in the whole process and don’t let your work come in between that and try to handle it and balance it out. It’s a special relationship,” Styles said. Styles incorporates his four kids and wife in his team, by bringing them to practices, track meets and traveling with the team.

CONSISTENCY

Women’s soccer head coach Ryan Spence looks to consistency to help him get through the rough patches. Spence started his collegiate journey here in 2008 as a men’s soccer defender. He finished his career in 2011 earning more than 10 awards over the span of four years, including All-Lone Star Conference First Team in 2009 and Lone Star Conference Defender of the Year in 2010 and 2011. Spence later returned as the men’s soccer graduate assistant coach in 2014 then was promoted to women’s head coach in 2018. The women’s soccer team won two games and tied three this season. Spence looks to consistency to help him out of a rut. “Don’t let them know you’re in a tough spot, I think a lot of times when coaches are in a bad mood, they sometimes pull it over into the players. When you train practice and you are more mean and yelling. For me, I preach on the girls, consistency... If I’m [in] a rut or arguing with my wife or arguing with a coworker. It’s being consistent and trying not to let it show,” Spence said. Biology freshman Senna Garcia understands consistency is important and said she strives to be better evert practice. “He preaches that to us everyday. At practice we have to make sure our energy is high because if it’s lower than the day before then we aren’t getting better. I feel like he’s right and that consistency is important and makes a huge difference overall,” Garcia said.

International students become collegiate athletes DARIA PANFEROVA REPORTER

More than 10 percent of students attending this university are from outside of the USA, coming from Asia, Africa, Caribbean and Bahamas, Latin america, the Middle East, Europe, and Australia. Out of the 6,102 students attending this university 576 are international and 23 of those 576 are athletes. According to international student-athletes, American universities are a fairly popular option to pursue a degree while playing sports. For them, this process happens only through recruitment. To play for the university team, a coach of that team recruits the student. On the athletic teams, most of the players are on an athletic scholarship. The men’s and women’s tennis team consists of 10 international student-athletes. All of these players have been recruited by head coach Scott Linn. “I have been successful coaching players from all over the world and I know the value they can bring to a college team,” Linn said. To recruit an international student athlete the coach will look for pre-made promotional videos highlighting the individuals’ skills and abilities in their chosen sport. Then by analyzing players’ level the coach will decide if he wants to invest in this player. “Tennis is an international sport, and to compete on a national level in NCAA Division II Tennis you have to

recruit internationally,” Linn said. However, for student-athletes the process of getting into university takes at least two to three months. Parents hire recruitment organizations to help them complete all the required documentation and explain everything in detail regarding studying abroad. The fees for this service are around $1,500 for the whole process. Other players are able to do everything on their own, but in most cases they either know somebody who did it before, or they get contacted directly by coaches based on their results. “Before I paid an organization it was a little tentative, I didn’t know if they are trying to steal my money or if it’s a real thing, so I went and met the recruiter and I understood that it was a real thing,” Greta Lazzarotto, business management senior, said. A basic requirement for an international student-athlete is to pass Test of English as a Foreign Language and Scholastic Aptitude Test exams, which might play a big factor when it comes to selecting a university.

COUNTRIES REPRESENTED BY MSU ATHLETES

After that step, players must record a 12-minute personal profile video with an explanation about themselves and displaying their athletic skills. For each sport the video must consist of different athletic elements. Athletes who are looking for schools on their own must send this profile

video to coaches accompanied by their exams scores and high school transcripts. If an athlete uses an organization they will take care of the application process to universities. Then organizations are approached by coaches, and give players a choice of schools they can pick from. For example, Lazzarotto, applied through an organization in Italy. “One day I was on a social media and I saw an ad about this organization which was run by a guy I knew, so I decided to look through it and I got in contact with him and we started the process,” Lazzarotto, said. On the other hand, Emilija Segetlija a finance junior from Serbia and also a member of the tennis team, did it on her own by looking into schools and emailing coaches. “I honestly didn’t know that there were any organizations who were doing that, even my friends who came to America did that on their own,” Segetlija said. To get a bachelor’s or master’s degree in the United States is a dream for incoming international students. “I’m very grateful for the opportunity of studying in America,” Jean Muniz, business finance sophomore from Brazil, said. The International Office staff is in charge of the recruiting and documentation process. Each individual from this department has a different role in this process. For example, Sherri Helms is in charge of insurance and financial questions. Elizabeth

Ysasi, is in charge of documentation such as F-1 visas and other necessary paperwork. “Here in MSU, anytime an international student has a question on their status or whether their actions can affect their status negatively, we always encourage these students to come in the office,” Elizabeth Ysasi, international services specialist, said. While these students are in the United States and enrolled in classes, the International office is in charge of their enrollment status. The other stage of applying is scholarship. An athletic scholarship is a chance to study abroad and to play a favorite sport at a collegiate level. Compared to most European universities, Sports are a big part of the culture in the United States. Every university gives student-athletes a chance to improve their athletic skills by providing access to gyms, sport fields, athletic trainers and so on. The collegiate level in any sport is extremely high. Also, most competitive sporting events provide the biggest profit for a university, but to make a decent profit a team must be successful or at least nationally ranked, that’s why a lot of investment is directed towards recruitment. “I am looking for the best student,person, player to recruit to either team based on the scholarship money that is available,” Linn said.
