Medical marijuana soon to take root in the Lone Star State Andrea Velgis Staff Writer

@ThePaisano news@paisano-online.com The recent legalization of marijuana in states like Colorado has paved the way toward legalization in other states. The Texas Compassionate Use Act was signed into law at the beginning of September and allows for patients with intractable epilepsy to use medical marijuana (only in the form of Cannabidiol)

to help ease their symptoms. A prescription will be available to Texas residents who suffer from seizures too strong for other medication. If a patient meets the requirements, a physician may prescribe them lowTHC cannabis oil to control his or her seizures. If necessary, the prescription would also allow the patient to receive Cannabidiol from a licensed marijuana establishment. A restriction to this law is that a caregiver may not legally receive the Can-

nabidiol for the purpose of delivering it to the patient. Also, patients cannot grow their own medical marijuana; they must receive it from a state regulated dispensing organization. “The problem is…it’s still in the investigational stage, but there are at least reputable facilities like hospitals and universities doing research to see if this works,” said Dr. Susan Dalterio, UTSA professor of Drugs in Society. “Unfortunately, most of the people that are on TV are only pointing at

cases, and that’s anecdotal evidence.” “It might help some people, but right now there is no way to know which people might be helped and which people might be harmed,” Dalterio said. “It’s not FDA approved, but it is in research phase.” Dalterio further expresses her hesitation on the drug. “Cannabidiol is not psychoactive, but that doesn’t mean it’s totally safe; it’s certainly safer than the THC which is the psychoactive part of the marijuana

plant. In any kind of drug discussion, whether it be drugs like this or any kind of drug, pharmaceutical drug or therapeutic drug, you have to look at the benefit to risk.” Despite its many restrictions, this law does not require a patient to be 18 years of age. A physician may prescribe to a minor if the benefits of using cannabis outweigh the risks. This law is different than laws of other states addressing marijuana. In other states, doctors are allowed to recommend marijuana therapy, or certify that a person is eligible. However, in Texas, doctors are now able to prescribe the drug directly to the patient. Fourteen other states have already passed laws similar to this. “In the case of marijuana, the benefit hasn’t been clearly established from FDA point of view, except for those few drugs, like Marinol, that are available for prescription because they’re FDA approved,” added Dalterio. Government officials have stressed that the oil will be strictly supervised and is in no way a step toward legal recreational marijuana.

Like it or not, new feature coming to Facebook Quentin Hemphill Staff Writer

@QuentinHemphill news@paisano-online.com For years, Facebook has resisted creating a dislike button, fearing it might create a more negative environment on the social networking site. However, it seems that attitudes at the tech company have changed and buttons that allow users to show more emotions than liking are in the works. According to USA Today, founder and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg made the announcement during a Q&A session streamed live online. He explained that Facebook is close to creating a new button feature, but it probably will not be a “dislike” button. The new feature may be a button that allows Facebook users to show compassion and understanding for others in times of despair, for instance, a person posting a status regarding a death in their family. “It’s important to give people more options than just ‘like’ to help express empathy and sympathy,” Zuckerberg said. “Not every moment is a good moment.” This new feature will not only allow Facebook users to illustrate different feelings about specific statuses, photos and comments, but will also prevent the negative atmosphere a dislike button may create. The popular social network encourages positive interactions among its billions of users, and a feature allowing people to dislike certain statuses and photos could lead to bullying and other harmful exchanges.Last December

“It’s important to give people more options than just ‘ like’ to help express empathy and sympathy.” Mark Zuckerberg Founder, CEO of Facebook

during another Q&A gathering, Zuckerberg stated that some people only want a dislike button so that they can express their disdain for another person’s post, regardless of the content. “Some people have asked for a dislike button because they want to say, ‘That thing isn’t good.’ And that’s not something that we think is good for the world. So we’re not going to build that,” Zuckerberg explained last December. Facebook would like to avoid petty conflicts between its users. An example of this could be a user posting a picture of their college acceptance letter on the news feed, and then another person dislikes it for whatever reason. Perhaps Zuckerberg hopes to prevent the negativity portrayed in YouTube’s comment section, and he wants to take preventative measures. No announcement has been made regarding the launch date of Facebook’s new button features. Social media observers believe that new additions to the site will increase the site’s popularity, a good thing for Facebook since many young adults have been migrating to other social networks

UTSA collaborates with Rackspace to create OpenStack Anelia Gomez-Cordova Staff Writer @AneGomez94 news@paisano-online.com The OpenStack Innovation Center, a collaboration between Rackspace, Intel and UTSA was inaugurated earlier this month at Rackspace’s headquarters. OpenStack, an opensource software that functions as an operating system for the cloud (just like Windows does for the PC), is the product of an earlier collaboration between Rackspace and NASA. The new OpenStack Innovation Center will allow for further development

of the software. At work will be a group of software developers and engineers, both from Rackspace and Intel. As OpenStack and its acceptance grew worldwide, Intel decided they wanted to be involved in the software’s development. The fact that Intel is a chip manufacturer is key because that could mean future chips will be optimized to work with OpenStack software. There are a couple of proprietary systems out there (like Amazon’s) that run their own clouds. OpenStack’s differentiating factor is that it is free and open to everybody. This allows multiple people to contribute their

own improvements, accelerating the growth and maturation of the software. “All of a sudden, instead of a company just having a few hundred people developing the software, you have thousands across the world working at it,” says Vice-President of Research at UTSA, Dr. Mauli Agrawal, “It’s great for innovation.” With the launch of the Open Cloud Institute last year, UTSA now has one of the largest open clouds in academia running on open software. Since OpenStack is the dominant open software running the cloud, it is only natural that they would look to UTSA for the See Open cloud ,page 3

NEWS September 29 - October 6, 2015 Music for Alzheimer’s residents lifts morale, evokes memories Christopher Breakell Staff Writer

@ThePaisano news@paisano-online.com Sigma Alpha Iota (SAI) Women’s Music Fraternity at UTSA is using its passion for music to enhance the lives of Alzheimer’s patients. President of UTSA’s SAI chapter Samantha Serrano explains, “We saw the documentary ‘Alive Inside’ and learned about (the program) Music and Memory… We were all in shock and thought, ‘we need to do something about this.’” After seeing the documentary where Dan Cohen, founder of Music and Memory, demonstrates how music can be used to revive the lives of memory care patients, SAI began to raise money to donate to a memory care facility. SAI held a fundraiser and started a

GoFundMe page to raise the $1,000 necessary for a memory care facility to get certified by Music and Memory. With the donation, Music and Memory provided the facility with five iPods, headphones and certification training. Morning Side Ministries at Mender Springs was the first assisted living facility to receive funds from SAI. Monty Draney, the director of resident services at Morning Side Ministries at Mender Springs, explains, “ “We started out with a test program with five people. Now, many of the residents are using the program, and we are implementing it at least everyday.” The music that the residents listen to is selected based on the music of their youth. “The music of their youth is very important to them. It helped shape memories and who they were,” Draney explains.

Activities Assistant Andrew Bennett, who is in charge of creating the playlists of the residents, states, “I’m constantly updating the playlists. If they don’t like it, I don’t play it.” So far, Music and Memory has had a dramatic affect on the lives of the memory care patients. Draney recounts, “One of our ladies would sit in her room… She would just hold a baby doll and mumble a little bit, but now she is walking around, she is articulating more and she is able to help us out with projects.” SAI at UTSA won a National Collegiate Service Award for this project, and they are still working hard to provide funds to other assisted living facilities and to spread this project to other SAI chapters across the United States. Serrano explains, “The biggest thing isn’t just us trying to get people certified, but we want this to be a national thing.”

Open cloud: one of largest continued from page 1 in academia workforce needed to continue the development of the cloud and its software. Up to 40 engineering and computer science students will have the opportunity to apply for an internship with the OpenStack Innovation Center every year. As part of the internship, they will go through training; depending on how they do, Intel may hire them. Currently, 10 interns are already hard at work, and they all have potential. Not only could this mean that current UTSA students would have more resources available, but it could also mean that a greater influx of students will attend UTSA in the future. Many students look into the programs the university offers, as well as where current students end up after they graduate. This means that the existence of

the new internship program could cause people to look at UTSA as a pathway to a promising career. Big universities are also taking notice. The University of Michigan recently announced that they are investing in data analytics programs, partially due to UTSA taking the lead in certain areas. UTSA is now on the national radar, and other universities know it needs to start catching up. For the university, this means another step towards being Tier 1. “We are firing on all cylinders right now,” Agrawal said. “We’re hitting the national news pretty much every week, so it’s moving us in that direction very quickly. UTSA is on the move.”

How does UTSA rank?

Amanda Camacho Staff Writer

@ThePaisano news@paisano-online.com Based off a Forbes study ranking America’s top colleges, The University at San Antonio (UTSA) is ranked at 642— and 291 based off a Center for World University Rankings (CWUR). There are several online websites offering different rankings for universities nationwide. However, each study follows its own criteria when determining a university’s rank. Forbes bases its ranking on five criteria: student satisfaction (25%), post-graduate success (32.5%), student debt (25%), graduation rate (7.5%) and academic success (10%). UTSA scored low. But John Frederick, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs at UTSA, believes the methodologies used

to determine a university’s rank does not “provide a complete picture of a university’s value.” After all, “UTSA is deeply committed to providing excellence and a world-class education for its students. That’s far more important than any magazine ranking,” claims Frederick. According to senior marketing major Steven Arellano, the categories Forbes uses to rank colleges aren’t fair. “I don’t think they’re very good categories to rank a school.” The criteria for academic success was one Steven didn’t particularly favor. “A par score doesn’t teach education. It has to go beyond that…[so] I don’t think it really matters.” Senior Ruben Garcia disagrees. “Everyone thinks of college in different ways so I suppose ranking follows in suit.” See UTSA’s report card,page 4

ScholarshipOwl hopes to streamline the scholarship process, matches students with aid application process by matching students with aid Sonia Mata Staff Writer

@ThePaisano news@paisano-online.com For students struggling to find and apply for scholarships, there is a new website that hopes to help. ScholarshipOwl is a scholarship-matching program that helps streamline the application process. The program claims to “take the hassle out of scholarship

applications” by reducing it to a few steps and producing personalized results. “Scholarship matching is one of our specialties,” states the company’s website. “We pair students with awards that suit their individual talents, passions and accomplishments. With the variety of awards we have to choose from, we’re able to find scholarships for just about everyone.” While the two are not interchangeable, FAFSA (Free Application for Fed-

eral Student Aid) may be slower than desired. Karen Montalvo, a UTSA senior, explains why she is unhappy with FAFSA: “Really, it’s more time-consuming than anything else … the process itself does take a while.” Time is of the essence for the busy university student. “It can be quite a pain to fill out. It’s something I dread each semester,” said Montalvo. However, in early September, President Obama

announced plans to update the FAFSA, which will begin in 2016, affecting the 2017 – 2018 school year. The application process will be simpler and begin earlier in the year, allowing students to file their forms as early as Oct. 1. The President will also be calling on Congress to eliminate questions from the application to quicken the process. “ScholarshipOwl can apply you to multiple scholarships easily and at once with one application,” the

UTSA’s report card, 642 out of 650

company website says. “Students are able to submit their information once without having to apply to each scholarship individually. It helps students save time and to focus on their studies.” While the site is mostly for scholarship application and matching, it also offers students several other methods of help, such as tips and tutorials on how to write a scholarship essay. The program continues to work on getting the name

out to college students, because many students like Montalvo are unaware of its existence. This program is free for high school, college and graduate students for the first month, and if students wish to continue using the service, they can choose between paying $29 monthly or $99 yearly for complete access to all scholarships the website provides.

Unlike Forbes, the CWUR bases its ranking on eight criteria: quality of education, alumni employment, quality of faculty, publications, influence, research citations, broad impact and patents. Compared to Forbes, their criteria are vastly different. Ruben Garcia, a computer science major at UTSA, exclaims “Wow. Graduation rate and academic success are not represented enough.” Despite the juxtaposition, UTSA holds a world rank of 291 and a national rank of 112 based off their criteria. Sam Gonzales, Vice

President for Student Affairs, believes the difference between different college rankings could be an issue of false data. When creating their college rank, magazines commonly look at data posted by the institution. “There have been situations where the institutions report bad data so they can up their rankings. So this one (CWUR) is all on data that has to be reported to federal agencies,” remarks Gonzales. Two hundred and ninety one is a high number, considering the rank is worldwide. But what about on a national level? “We’re ahead of practi-

cally every Big 12 school except UT Austin,” remarks Gonzales. The Big-12 universities include Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, TCU, Texas Tech, UT Austin, Baylor, West Virginia, Iowa State, Kansas and Kansas State. With a score of 112, UTSA beats several of the popular Big12 schools. That doesn’t exactly make Forbes college list inaccurate or wrong, it’s just different. “I don’t believe that all universities should be compared against each other. Each one has different factors that need to be considered,” remarks Frederick.

It doesn’t stop there. In addition, UTSA has been featured as one of the schools under 50 years old by Times Higher Education. “From my perspective, we’re doing pretty good for a very young school. We’re probably one of the youngest schools ranked that high,” Gonzales claims. Frantically obsessing over a university’s rank isn’t the best idea. After all, “Rankings are tools. They shouldn’t be the only thing that a student considers when choosing a college or university,” says Frederick.

OPINION Give bikers a break, and more lanes September 29 - October 6, 2015

Editorial

UTSA needs more bike lanes and more bikers. As the price of parking permits rise and temperatures begin to fall, more UTSA students choose bicycles as their muscle-powered method of transportation. Cycling to class is a great way to save money, energy and time that would otherwise be spent hunting down a parking spot. Students who bike to class burn calories while reducing their carbon footprint — a choice beneficial to cardiovascular health and the environment. However, the benefits of biking do not come without health risks. Motorists rushing to and from classes often

to raise awareness for the safety ordinance. Despite these measures, San Antonio still ranks number 44 out of the 50 largest American cities for its ratio of bicycle fatalities. The national average is 3.3 fatalities for every 10,000 cyclists; San Antonio’s average is 10.7, according to the Alliance for Biking and Walking’s 2010 Benchmark Study. Instead of driving cyclists off the road, to reduce collisions more cyclists should get on it — think safety in numbers. The likelihood of a walking pedestrian or cyclist being struck by a motorist varies inversely with the amount of people biking

and walking, indicating that motorists’ behavior controls the likelihood of collisions, according to a study in the British Medical Journal. In other words, car drivers adjust their behavior in the presence of more people sharing the road. This pattern was found consistently across communities of varying size and among urban and rural areas. No doubt, the afore mentioned studies show that there is room for improvement in terms of bicycle safety in San Antonio. Fortunately, Roadrunners can look forward to additional bike lanes near campus — when construction concludes. The Texas Depart-

ment of Transportation’s UTSA Blvd. expansion project will include new bike lanes and pedestrian pathways. Maybe this will spur an increase in cyclists and pedestrian commuters. In order for biking to be safe, bike traffic should seem normal instead of a nuisance. Bike safety should occur in tandem: more bike lanes and pedestrian pathways must be constructed to facilitate smoother way to campus and more bike riders and walkers must dare to pedal and trek to campus.

College students’ periods are costing them much more than the agonizing pain of menstrual cramps. The cost of necessary feminine hygiene products like tampons and pads and overthe-counter pain medication to alleviate the physical symptoms of PMS add up, making Aunt Flo a very expensive lady. A box containing 36 tampons costs about $7 at Walgreen’s. Yes, there are other options but 70 percent of American women report they prefer tampons to pads according to For Women Only! (a guide to reproductive health). If a college student were to use one tampon for every six hours, she would use four tampons a day. The average woman’s cycle lasts five days, meaning she would need 20 tampons per period. Multiply 20 by 12 (months per year and number of periods in a year) and then again by four — assuming she finishes her undergraduate career in four years — and the result is 960 tampons. At $7 a box, that averages to a $186 expense over her undergrad career for a biological function she has no control over (unless she were to choose newer forms of birth control such as a Copper Intrauterine Device (IUD), a Hormonal Intrauterine Device, the birth control patch or shot, which are all far heftier expenses than tampons). This does not include the cost of Midol, ice cream and heating pads — methods women use to cope with pain and carry on with their lives uninter-

rupted while menstruating. Last week, the High School for Arts and Business in Carona, Queens (NY) became the first to offer its students free sanitary pads and tampons with the instillation of a dispenser in the girl’s bathroom. UTSA should follow this high school’s example. Free condoms are distributed to Roadrunners, so why is this other aspect of reproductive health that affects half of the student body not also made accessible to us? Every girl has experienced that moment of panic when her period comes unexpectedly and she’s caught unprepared. You’ve seen her in the hallway, at the JPL and at the Rec. She’s the one with a desperate look in her eye, frantically seeking out another girl with the supplies that she needs before a stain forms and she’s exposed (and humiliated). Not every girl’s period is completely predictable; these moments calls for improvisation and toilet paper. And she will then spend the remaining school day anxiety-ridden, strategizing how she will secure a more conventional form of cotton. I have friends who have missed classes because they were unaware their period would come halfway through Texas Politics. Providing this necessity would allow half of the student body to better focus on their studies, with the peace of mind that comes from having a backup plan. A free pad and tampon dispenser in university bathrooms would turn a moment of mortification into one of relief while also relieving the broke college student’s bank account. UTSA has the opportunity to make women more comfortable and confident; pads and tampons should be made free and accessible on campus. Period.

OPINION 6 Censoring, banning books stifles creativity September 29 - October 6, 2015

Commentary

Anelia Gomez-Cordova Staff Writer

Books are works of art; worlds awaiting exploration and lessons waiting to be taught. They are non-toxic chemicals that need to be kept out of hands reach. This week, Sept. 27 to Oct. 4, we celebrate Banned Books

Awareness Week. In 2014, NBC New York ran a story about a request made to the Toronto Public Library to ban “Hop on Pop” by Dr. Seuss which is about two children who hop on their father’s back. The book ends in warning, cautioning kids against doing the same. According to the American Libraries Direct, the point of contention was that the book advocated violence in children against their fathers, and the petition even asked for the publication to apologize. In censoring literature, we deprive minds of learning the lesson at the end of the tale. At a certain point, censor-

ship can become excessive. While it makes sense for parents or schools to choose reading material appropriate for age groups, maybe they should only censor the equivalent of R-rated movies with excessive obscenities and lewdness. In May of this year, a group of parents in Idaho asked to have John Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men” removed from their children’s high school classrooms. As reported by the Los Angeles Times, some of the claims had to do with coarse language in the novel while others complained that the work was “negative” and “dark.” The subject matter isn’t light,

but it does not take away from the connection it can make with a reader or with the food for thought it leaves behind. Like these two books, many other works of fiction have lessons waiting either at the end or ingrained in the storyline. It’s not fair to toss these lessons aside because the novel strikes a nerve. Every person is able to choose whether to read or not each book. The fact that one or two parents do not wish their children read a specific book should not go on to affect a whole class or school, just like the decision of a single individual should not affect the literary freedom of a

President of Mexico Enrique Peña Nieto announced on Friday his plans to erect a giant wall along the border between the U.S and Mexico, in an attempt to keep out the recent influx of U.S citizens illegally immigrating into Mexico. Recently, thousands of U.S. immigrants have flooded across the borders of Mexico in Texas, Arizona and California, most notably from those areas near college intuitions. “We do not want these people,” announced Mexican Representative Juan Fence. “They want to take our whitecollar jobs, but have no job experience.” Many college graduates are

The average college student will have around $33,000 in debt after graduation, and around 14 to 15 percent of these students will default on their loans. With no other options, thousands now flee across the Mexican border, seeking a better life. “There are no jobs in the U.S,” reported illegal immigrant Sloane Debt, who after earning a degree in sociology, found herself with only an unpaid internship at a community daycare and an accumulating student loan of over $50,000 from college housing and undergraduate studies. Sloane, who had been hounded by debt collectors after defaulting on her loan, hopes to find a greener pastures in Central America, possibly in Honduras or Venezuela. “We cannot have these filthy, university-educated Americans bringing drugs and crime into our country,” further commented Fence. “When America sends its

There is no legal prohibition or burning of books, the works are there for those who are interested. The goal should be to embrace literary freedom, realize that a book can be a useful tool and stop adding to the growing list of “challenged” and “banned” titles. A book doesn’t have to be a wrecking ball, it can act as bricks and cement too.

With no other options, thousands now flee across the Mexican border, seeking a better life. “There are no jobs in the U.S,” reported illegal immigrant Sloane Debt, who after earning a degree in sociology, found herself with only an unpaid internship at a community daycare and an accumulating student loan of over $50,000 from college housing and undergraduate studies. Sloane, who had been hounded by debt collectors after defaulting on her loan, hopes to find a greener pastures in Central America, possibly in Honduras or Venezuela. “We cannot have these filthy, university-educated Americans bringing drugs and crime into our country,” further commented Fence.

“When America sends its people, they’re not sending their best, these aren’t students with family connections or any sort of graduate degree.” This issue is now causing many students to plan their finances before they graduate; many are now saving a couple of thousand dollars to flee the country post-graduation. “I told them I was going get some empanadas,” said student and illegal immigrant Noe De Niro, who drove his Ford Focus from the border of Laredo, Texas to the South America country of Colombia. “No one questioned why I had all of my belongings.” Manny, a philosophy major and law school dropout, hopes to escape from his $110,000 student loans and make an honest living harvesting coffee beans. In a response that expressed regret on the issue, Congress assured the public, “We had the border fence idea first.”

@ThePaisano arts@paisano-online.com For someone who didn’t think of herself as an illustrator growing up, Yuyi Morales sure has done well for herself. “I used to think people that could draw had to be born when the stars aligned, or marked somehow,” Morales stated. A celebrated and autodidactic illustrator and writer, Morales has won many awards, including the Pura Belpre Medal and the Jane Addams Children’s Book Award for her illustration in “Harvesting Hope: The Story of Cesar Chavez.” Her most recent book, the self-illustrated “Viva Frida,” which commemorates the life of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo, was named as one of the 2015 Caldecott Medal Honor Books, which annually recognizes the preceding year’s most distinguished American picture books for children. Morales took time to visit the UTSA Downtown Campus and give a presentation for the UTSA College of Education and Human Development titled “The Power of Story in the Landscape of Memory and Identity.” She shared many personal stories that have influenced her work as an author and illustrator. Morales started her discussion on how she came to start drawing. “I used to

hide in my room and draw my own face while staring at myself in the mirror because I was too shy to ask someone else if I could copy their face,” she laughed. “I think creation is a very personal and intimate thing; whether it be a drawing, plans for a class or a recipe.” Morales fascination with drawing dwindled as a teenager, her attentions directed elsewhere, or as Morales explained, “mainly towards boys.” Morales returned to her hobby after her son was born. It was during that time that she also immi-

grated from Mexico to the U.S. and formed a new life. Morales found that a new country was like a blank space. She had trouble adjusting to a culture absent of her family, friends, familiar foods and native language. “All immigrants go through this,” Morales explained. “But since you already lost everything that is familiar, there is nothing left to lose and then the space becomes a blank canvas, or a page for you to start again.” When Morales motherin-law brought her to the children’s section of the

library, she had no idea it would be a place that would change her life forever. “I didn’t know this existed,” Morales exclaimed. “Mexico didn’t have children’s books that contained words and works of art.” Explaining her early and lasting fascination with children’s books, Morales stated, “Children’s books don’t use any extra language, only what is needed to communicate with children; so much so that I, who was learning English through ‘Sesame Street,’ understood a few words. It was the pictures that

stories. It was then that I realized that I, too, had stories to tell. That is what we bring to other countries: a backpack full of fears, dreams and treasures.” Morales started submitting her works to publishers, who found her work refreshing and new. Her published books, such as “Ladder to the Moon,” “Georgia in Hawaii,” “Little Night,” “Just in Case,” “Los Gatos Black on Halloween” and “Nino Wrestles the World,” all contain original work done by Morales, with each work gaining inspiration from many places, including her grandmother, mother and sisters. One of Morales’s favorite books that she wrote, “Los Gatos Black on Halloween,” is all of her childhood fears put into a book. “This is what happens when you give a Latino a Halloween book,” Morales laughed. “People think The Day of the Dead and Halloween are very similar, but when I would see chainsaws, blood and things hanging from trees, I was scared. But it made me realize that it is okay to celebrate things we are afraid of.” The stars may not have aligned when Morales was born, but she knows she possesses something much better than luck. “I found something much more powerful,” Morales said, “the ability to move imaginations through words and pictures.”

Serve’s up: UTSA’s table tennis team bounces back Amanda Camacho Staff Writer

@ThePaisano arts@paisano-online.com Did you know UTSA has a table tennis organization? UTSA’s table tennis team has placed first at the South Texas Division Tournament and the National Collegiate Table Tennis (NCTTA) tournament. They’re making a big name for themselves—and they don’t intend to stop. UTSA’s table tennis organization began in 2008, but eventually dissolved with no student interest in the sport. UTSA student Adrian Guajardo brought the club back to life in 2012, starting with only five members. Today, it is 40 members strong. The group is both

large and diverse, having students from locations like Saudi Arabia, India, Mexico and Iran. “We encourage anybody who wants to join to come to practice, whether they love playing table tennis or want to increase their playing skills,” club president Guajardo exclaims. Just like every other club, challenges are present that make things more difficult for the team. The growing size of the team continues to cause problems during practice. “We only have three tables and we have forty members,” Guajardo states. With only two hours to practice, Guajardo believes it’s not enough. To compensate, the club practices on the weekend offcampus at the San Antonio Table Tennis Club. Despite

the inconvenience, Guajardo doesn’t mind the organization’s size. “If they are passionate about it, I don’t care if we have 100 members — anybody is welcome,” Guajardo says. The club is currently seeking more female members. The group has discovered a convenient way to determine who will play at competitions. “We have a tournament within ourselves based on who is better or who has been coming to practice more consistently,” Guajardo says. Now that the group has a coach, the process might change. Currently, the coach for UTSA’s table tennis group is Jeff Nguyen. Previous coaches include UTSA professors Charles Liu and Ichishiro Konno.

The team’s goal for this year is to make it to nationals. Now that the team has a coach, Guajardo believes they can make it. The team has even started recruiting members from other universities, such as new member Irving Zavala from St. Mary’s University, who previously played for his country in Honduras. Even with dedicated members, Guajardo hopes to see more recognition from the students at UTSA. “I encourage anyone to come because we practice really hard…we emphasize a lot on dedication and hard work,” Gua-

Top 4 Artists to see at acl 2015 1. Run the Jewels

Friday, 5 p.m., Miller Light stage “I beat you to a pulp, no fiction/ Tarantino flow, new Jules ( Jewels) and Vincent.” When not smashing in your ear drums with earthquake triggering beats or stabbing you with the sharpest political rantings this side of Rage Against the Machine, the duo of rappers Killer Mike and El-P that make up Run the Jewels blow out the rest of the competition, rap or otherwise. Having toured extensively over the past year for their second album “Run the Jewels 2,” the duo has proven both powerful and enlightening - two distinct rapping styles going toe-to-toe against each other in the spirit of love and competition. Even while tackling topics like police brutality and government surveillance, the duo is more than willing to tell you how much better they are than your average rappers.

2. Father John Misty

Saturday, 2:20 p.m., Honda stage The tale is as old as time: man falls in love, man feels weird about falling in love, man writes album about falling in love. Josh Tillman, the titular “father” of Father John Misty, created his newest album, “I Love You, Honeybear,” after falling in love with his wife, Emma, in the hopes of tackling the vulnerable nature of intimacy and sincerity. Tillman’s stage presence shows him parading his insecurities regarding love, life and the American dream across a mix of dramatic ballads and sarcastic sing-alongs like “Nothing Good Ever Happens at the Goddamn Thirsty Crow,” with some interpretive dance in case you weren’t sold already.

3. Brand New

Friday, 5 p.m., HomeAway stage Fifteen years after their arrival on the emo scene, the name Brand New hasn’t been apt for some time, though they’ve kept themselves busy by releasing classic albums like “Deja Entendu” in 2003 and “The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me” in 2006. Their last album, “Daisy,” was released in 2009, and with nary a song to their name in six years, the band has been silent for some time. To say that people are anxious to see this rare rock band bring out their wealth of classic teenage anthems about growing old, anxiety and relationship difficulties would be an understatement.

4. Leon Bridges

Friday, 4 p.m., Honda stage You can dance, mosh, sing and shout all you want at Zilker Park this weekend, but eventually your body and mind will need nourishment. How about some classic soul by way of Fort Worth’s own Leon Bridges? The 25-year-old’s golden pipes not only resemble that of soul legends Sam Cooke and Otis Redding, but are smooth enough to get even your mama to sway her hips. Songs like “Brown Skinned Girl” will make you eager to fall in love with the random stranger next to you in the crowd, and hit single “Better Man” will take his fans all the way to Sunday morning church, even on a Friday.

On Saturday, Sept. 26, the UTSA football team hosted the Colorado State Rams (CSU) in its final nonconf e r e n c e game of the season. The Roadrunners fought hard but ultimately fell short, losing 33-31. In what was the 50th game in program history, UTSA (0-4) went into the encounter with confidence. Despite a few sloppy performances in the prior weeks, the team cleaned up many of its mental mistakes against CSU (2-2). Head Coach Larry Coker felt that, despite the loss, the team showed improve-

ment. “We really self-destructed the last couple games,” Coker began. “We have to try and limit the turnovers and eliminate some of the foolish penalties, and I think we did both.” The Roadrunners started out fast, taking less than three minutes to put seven points on the board. The opening drive featured a 42-yard run from redshirt freshman quarterback Blake Bogenschutz, and was finished off with a 13-yard touchdown run from fellow redshirt freshman Jalen Rhodes. Despite a quality overall effort from the quarterback, Bogenschutz was frustrated about the loss and gleaned few positives. “We’re coming out of this with no morale victories,” Bogenschutz said. “I say it every time we have a loss; there’s nothing good

coming out of this game.” UTSA’s lead was shortlived, as the Colorado State Rams answered the Roadrunners’ touchdown with one of its own. A passing touchdown from Rams quarterback Nick Stevens to wide receiver Xavier Williams tied the game. The Rams then took the lead with a rare safety. UTSA was flagged for a holding penalty in the end zone, resulting in two points for Colorado State. UTSA showed mental toughness by responding with 10 unanswered points: a field goal and touchdown reception for tight end David Morgan II. UTSA entered halftime up 17-16, which was its first halftime lead of the season. The 3rd quarter featured the most scoring, starting with the Rams completing a 13-yard pass, taking back the lead, 23-17, and holding on to it for the rest of the game. Another long passing touchdown from Colorado State boosted the lead further to 30-17. “For some reason, we have a history of lacking in the 3rd quarter,” defensive leader and junior safety Michael Egwuagu said.

“We have to win, whatever it takes. If we have to score 100 or we have to score five, it doesn’t matter; we need to win the ballgame.” Blake Bogenschutz

UTSA starting quarterback Egwuagu put on a great individual performance, coming away with ten tackles and one sack. UTSA did not go out without a fight. Led by junior running back Jarveon Willams and his 170 rushing yards — a UTSA program record — the Roadrunners pushed back until the very end. In a loss, few positives can stand out, but on the day, Williams was without a doubt a bright spot for UTSA. Two scores from Williams — which included a program record 85-yard run — kept the game close. “There’s definitely some positives to take away from this game,” Williams began. “But like (Bogenschutz) said, we lost, so obviously

we didn’t do all the right things that we needed to do to get a win.” The Roadunners will start conference play with a trip to El Paso for a game against the UTEP Blazers on Saturday, Oct. 3. With a loss to the Blazers, UTSA would experience its first fivegame losing streak in program history. “We have to win, whatever it takes,” Bogenschutz said. “If we have to score 100 or we have to score five, it doesn’t matter; we need to win the ballgame, and that’s what we’re looking to do.”

UTSA starting running back Jarveon Williams ran for a school-record 170 yards against the Colorado State Rams last Saturday, averaging 13.1 yards per carry — the second highest average in college football for the week — and scoring two touchdowns. Starting quarterback Blake Bogenschutz added another 61 yards scrambling and the Roadrunners ended the day with 279 yards rushing, a number with which Head Coach Larry Coker was “very pleased.” The run-heavy offense has been highly effective when executed correctly, extending the length of drives and tiring down defenses. After a solid performance through the first three games, the ground attack reached its full stride against the Rams. Starting with a 13-yard touchdown run from freshman running back Jalen Rhodes on the opening drive, the run game accumulated first downs through the night behind an offensive line that is beginning to look ferocious. “I feel much better with the offensive line,” said Coker. “I think that’s key. (Colorado State has) a really good defensive front.” Along with 6-foot 4-inch, 260-pound tight end David Morgan II, UTSA has an extremely talented blocking core, and all the pieces came together during the 4th quarter when Williams

exploded around the right corner for his record-setting 85-yard touchdown run. “(The play) was a power (run); we run it a thousand times a week,” said Williams. “The safety kind of took a bad angle, and the rest is history.” Fueled by Williams and Rhodes, UTSA’s run attack has compiled 685 yards rushing on 160 attempts through its first four games. Both runners have excellent vision on the field with the ability to change direction and maneuver around tacklers. Williams possesses a rocket speed that allows him to side step and run around defenders, while Rhodes uses his speed to explode straight through them. Williams leads the team in rushing with 370 yards on 61 attempts and Rhodes is second with 124 yards on 26 attempts. Six of UTSA’s ten touchdowns have occurred on run plays; Williams and Rhodes account for five. Quarterback play has also contributed to UTSA’s success on the ground this season. Blake Bogenschutz and Dalton Sturm have combined for 130 yards rushing, and coaches are now implementing Sturm into the offense solely to run. He ran three quarterback keepers for 20 yards on Saturday after going for 47 yards on ten attempts against Oklahoma State the week before. “(He’s) got very good feet,” Coker said of Sturm. “I think Blake (Bogenschutz) played awfully well today, and Dalton (Sturm) came in

and contributed to us. We’ll give him (Sturm) some more of the package.” Bogenschutz has shown that he can escape pressure with his ability to scramble; he gained 27 yards and a rushing touchdown against Arizona in the season opener and rushed for multiple first downs against Colorado State, including one for 42 yards during the opening drive. UTSA ran 34 run plays on Saturday as opposed to only 18 pass plays, and it was the most competitive game the team has played this season. Expect for the run game to remain dominant as the team enters its conference schedule.
