NUMBER OF CAMPUS THEFTS STAY THE SAME; CRIME RATE REMAINS STAGNANT BUT LOWER THAN CITY’S news@paisano-online.com Since July 2011, close to 50 theft incidents have occurred on the University of Texas at San Antonio. Considering that the number is spread over four months, it is right on target with 2010 statistics.

“UTSA averages around 160 thefts a year,” Chief of Police Steve Barrera said. “The city of San Antonio has 80,000-90,000 thefts (per year)”

The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, signed into law by President George H. W. Bush in 1990, requires the publication of the number of incidents for the seven major categories of crimes on campus.

Those seven categories, as determined by the Clery Act, are: 1) criminal homicide, further defined by a) murder and non-negligent manslaughter and b) negligent manslaughter; 2) sex offenses, further defined by a) forcible sex offenses (including rape) and b) non-forcible sex offenses; 3) robbery; 4) aggravated as-

College of Business ranked one of ten top graduate schools for HisVictoria Reyna

news@paisano-online.com Hispanic Business ranked UTSA third in the nation for graduate business schools for Hispanics this September.

Only the University of Texas at El Paso, which ranked first, and the University of Texas at Austin, which ranked No. 2, surpassed UTSA’s school.

This however, is not the first recognition for UTSA’s College of Business. In fact, this is the fourth consecutive year that it has been recognized and ranked by Hispanic Business.

“This ranking speaks to the quality of our academic programming and the services we provide to our MBA students,” Lynda de la Viña, dean of the UTSA College of Business (COB) said. “It elevates the college into the

upper echelon of business schools in the nation. Our goal was to obtain national recognition in five years.

We accomplished that goal in three.”

The college follows the motto, “We transform business students into business professionals.”

Bloomberg Businesweek also ranked UTSA’s graduate business program No. 28 in the nation and No. 4 in the Southwest. Further, the Princeton Review ranked the COB among the top 10 graduate business programs nationwide for minority students this year for the sixth consecutive year.

When asked what makes UTSA’s College of Business so successful, De la Viña’s answer was simple. “The college is successful due to the dedication of our faculty, staff and students,” de la Viña said.

sault; 5) burglary; 6) motor vehicle theft; and 7) arson.

According to Barrera, there are three types of stealing: theft, burglary and robbery.

Theft is stolen property that was out in the open, in public and is often a crime of opportunity; a laptop left at a table in the library, a phone left in the bathroom stall or a bike left unsecured. Burglary occurs when someone enters a habitation or building, or breaks into a vehicle to steal something. Robbery occurs any time something is forcibly stolen from another person.

Drunk Frenchmen break into courthouse downtown Rubina Haroon

news@paisano-online.com Five Moroccan-French men were caught breaking into the San Antonio Courthouse while intoxicated on Oct. 19 2011. Surveillance cameras caught them running down the halls wearing sombreros (taken from the courthouse law library) and playing with a judge’s gavel.

The men, who are French citizens touring various locations in the United States, had been drinking excessively before they decided to break into the courthouse for amusement.

While doing so, they set off a silent alarm that alerted the San Antonio Police Department.

When the police caught them at 1:30 a.m., the courthouse horseplay turned into rumors of a terrorist attack. The five men arrived at John F. Kennedy

The little red taco trailer known as Chela’s Tacos is not going anywhere. Recently, Chela’s was told by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) that they had to move off of their location at UTSA Blvd. and Utex Blvd. because they were allegedly in violation of TxDOT’s right of way, but Chela’s owner, Marty Davis, did his homework, and found that he was not violating any laws.

TxDOT has a policy of buying up all of the land adjacent to Texas’s roads and highways. This extra land is known as the right of way. TxDOT defines the right of way as: “A general term denoting land, property or interest therein, usually in a strip, acquired for or devoted to a highway for the construction of the roadway. Right of way is the entire width of land between the public boundaries or property lines of a highway. This may include purchase for drainage.”

Chela’s is located just outside the right of way of UTSA Blvd. and Utex Blvd. Chela’s customers park in TxDOT’s right of way when ordering food from Chela’s, which TxDOT claims causes safety issues.

Davis claims that the right of way is used by drivers all over Texas to stop temporarily and repair broken down vehicles, to rest after a long trip, or just to get out and take a break from driving. He says that his customers are using the right of way in this manner in that they are temporarily stopping to purchase food and then be on their way.

Chela’s Tacos is one of the most popular mobile restaurants in San Antonio, and it attracts taco aficionados from all over the state; Chela’s was named by the Express News as the 2011 Readers Choice Best Food Truck/Mobile Dining Restaurant.

A year ago, Chela’s became aware of the right of way problem by TxDOT. Davis negotiated with TxDOT to move just outside the right of way boundary so that he was not in violation of this rule. Unfortunately, a new TxDOT official decided that this was still not good enough because of the parking situation with Chela’s customers. This is where the curSee TACO TRUCK, Page 4 rent battle started.

Libya’s transitional leader declares liberation Associated Press Libya’s transitional leader declared his country’s liberation on Sunday, three days after the hated dictator Moammar Gadhafi was captured and killed.

In a gesture that showed his own piety, he urged Libyans not to express their joy by firing in the air, but rather to chant “Allahu Akbar,’’ or God is Great. He then stepped aside and knelt to offer a brief prayer of thanks.

“This revolution was looked after by God to achieve victory,” he told the crowd at the declaration ceremony in the eastern city of Benghazi, the birthplace of the uprising against Gadhafi began.

He thanked those who fell in the fight against Gadhafi’s forces. “This revolution began peacefully to demand the minimum of legitimate rights, but it was met by excessive violence.”

Abdul-Jalil said new banks would be set up to follow the Islamic banking system, which bans charging interest. For the time being, he said interest would be canceled from any personal loans already taken out less than 10,000 Libyan dinars (about $7,500).

He also announced that all military personnel and civilians who have taken part in the fight against Gadhafi would be promoted to the rank above their existing one. He said a package of perks would later be announced for all fighters.

“Thank You, thank you to the fighters who achieved victory, both civilians and military,” he said. He also paid tribute to the Gulf Cooperation Council, a six-nation alliance led by Saudi Arabia, The Arab League and the European Union.

NATO, which aided the anti-Gadhafi fighters with airstrikes, performed its task with “efficiency and professionalism.”

theft: Laptops, bicycles and small electronics are the top items stolen on campus From Page 1

Theft is not one of the categories required in the annual security report published by the UTSA Police Department, but it is listed on the Clery Act Public Crime Log, also known as the police blotter, which can be found on the UTSA police department website, http://utsa.edu/utsapd.

The UTSA Police Department has 52 officers and 37 security guards that patrol the campus on foot, in cars, on bicycles and motorcycles. “There are also hundreds of security cameras on campus, which help us solve a lot of crimes,” Barrera said.

UTSA has an anti-theft campaign called “Secure It, Keep It.” Sergeant Geoffrey L. Merritt, who heads up the Crime Prevention Unit said.

“Twice a year we run a month long awareness blitz to remind people that theft is a crime of opportunity and that if people lock it, take it with them, hide it, (and) secure it then they get to keep it.”

Many students understand their role in preventing theft. “There’s a sense of responsibility. You should take with you anything you don’t want stolen,” Monika Coronado, UTSA student said.

“You can’t rely on just one element of security,” Merritt said. “We also have community members that help us too.”

Merritt explained that as part of the Emergency Management program, “We have floor captains, and they are a visible, dynamic part of keeping this campus safe. Each building and each floor has its own floor captains.”

The top three items stolen at UTSA are laptops, bicycles and small electronics, such as iPods, cameras and phones. Barrera strongly recommends students, faculty and staff participate in Operation Identification, which involves engraving property with an identifying number, such as a driver’s license.

“There’s a sense of responsibility. You should take with you anything you don’t want stolen.”

Monika Coronado

Undergraduate Student “The driver’s license alone is the best thing to put on there, because if we recover it we can run that driver’s license and find out who it belongs to,” Barrera said. “We do not recommend using a social security number.”

A would-be thief is often deterred by seeing that the item is easily identifiable, which would make it difficult to resell.

“The risk is minimal as far as identity theft is concerned by using the driver’s license,” Merritt said. “The benefit is far outweighed either by being able to recover it or to deter the theft.”

Another option for recovery of a stolen laptop is subscribing to a laptop locator service. LoJack, Prey and Tometa Software are a few companies that provide software that can track and locate a stolen laptop.

At the beginning and end of each semester, textbooks are also at the top of the list of items stolen. UTSA police and area bookstores are working together to prevent the resale of stolen books.

One way they are accomplishing that task is through Operation Bookmark, which involves marking the textbook with an identifying number, such as the owner’s driver’s license. A log can be kept that lists the name of the book and the page number that is marked.

Dominique Reyes, freshman residing at Laurel Village said she feels fairly comfortable leaving her books in the library, but “I always take my purse and phone with me,” said Reyes. By marking her book, Reyes could potentially recover her books, should they be stolen—and retrieved.

There were even reports stating that at least two of the five men were on an FBI watch list.

First Assistant District Attorney Cliff Herberg told the L.A. Times, “Why would a bunch of tourists choose a courthouse to break into?

That is the part that’s very hard to reconcile.” This feeling of uncertainty is what prompted the assumptions of ulterior motives for terrorist attacks as police officers began gathering evidence.

Officers searched the building for explosive material.

“We’re still trying to determine whether these individuals had a plot or were just on a little vacation trek,” Sheriff’s Deputy Chief Dale Bennett said to the L.A. Times.

No weapons were found on the five men and there were beer bottles in the courthouse, indicating their intoxication. Both pieces of information failed to fully convince police officers.

CBS News reported Bexar County Sheriff Amadeo Ortiz saying, “Because they are foreign nationals, and because of everything that has happened in the United States recently, we can’t take anything like this as a prank.”

County Judge Nelson Wolff further

commented during the investigation, “It’s just so very strange. It’s either some guys on a prank of some sort, or it could be terrorists,” the judge said to CBS News. As the foreign men were being questioned, investigators started to realize that the break-in presented no intended threat.

The men spoke little English and cooperated with the officers while being asked questions with the help of a translator. Investigators then searched the RV that the men were traveling in and found pictures of them around landmarks and cities across the United States. And after much investigation, police officers concluded that this was nothing more than a prank and they found no clear terrorist motive in their break-in.

“They were clowning around in the courtroom. They put on Mexican hats, they grabbed the gavel. That gave us an indication they weren’t up to anything other than a prank,” Ortiz told CBS News.

All five men were arrested and are charged with burglary. But reports stating that two of the men were on federal watch lists were argued against

by Ortiz and the FBI. The gavel that had been taken belongs to District Judge Victor Negrón, who now calls it, “the Moroccan hammer.”

“This is just another example of big government wasting the tax dollars of the people of San Antonio,” Marty Davis said.

“TxDOT does not have the right to make us move because we are not violating the right of way rule. We made an agreement with them a year ago and now it just seems like the new management has a personal vendetta against us.”

“We haven’t had any accidents, complaints or fights, the entire time we’ve been here.“ Davis said that TxDOT has been harassing him ever since. They even went so far as to try and get other government agencies, such as the San Antonio Police Department and the Department of Health, to try and put increased pressure on Davis to move Chela’s.

Even if they are forced to move, Davis would not move very far.

“If they make us move, we will just move up one telephone pole,“ Davis said.

Frenchmen: ‘They were clowning around in the courtroom. They put on Mexican hats; they grabbed the gavel’

Chela’s taco truck has been stationed on UTSA Blvd. for the past three years.

Editorial

A night to never forget, or to never remember On the morning of Oct. 19 five French-Moroccan men were detained for breaking in to the Bexar County Courthouse.

During the day of the arrest, News WOAI tweeted, “Sheriff tries to downplay terror link in courthouse break-in” along with a link to the corresponding arrticle. According to the article, the detainees were found to be intoxicated, and due to the odd nature of thier break-in, they were questioned by FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Sheriff ’s Office.

To the unsuspecting readers who just happen to glance at this information on their phone, they might immediately think that there was a terrorist threat in San Antonio. However, the investigation of the incident would point to a different conclusion.

The investigaion, which involved a search of the foregin nationals’ RV, yielded no information that could lead to the conclusion that these tourists were terrorists or that their actions had a terrorist motive.

What the investigation did determine was that the detainees were in-

toxicated when they decided to break into the courthouse. If anything, this break-in was a dumb joke preformed by a couple of drunk guys.

Is it understandable that those are the type of assumptions we make in a post 9/11 United States, maybe.

However, it’s been over decade since 9/11 and we must understand that basing terrorist threats on physical appearance is not only discriminatory but also dangerous. We disguise racism in fear.

Commentary Not happy with The Paisano? Send in a story idea It’s almost halfway through the semester and I still feel like a clown performing cheap parlor tricks every Wednesday at noon as I pass out papers to stu-

dents.

The Paisano began tabling, or rather handing out papers, in the spring of 2010. We couldn’t think of any other way to increase readership except literally placing newspapers in student hands. The Paisano, with the help of a dedicated staff, decided to start tabling which is similar to what fraternities and sororities do during recruitment periods.

One of the best aspects of tabling is that The Paisano is able to increase its presence on campus and meet with students face to face. It is also a way

to attract new writers and even sell advertising.

However, student response to actually taking a paper is quite mixed.

While some students say they have already read the paper, one response we have gotten while tabling is, “I don’t read the paper. I don’t think the articles are appropriate for college students.” Hopefully, that student was just sarcastic but his response has been made by other students.

The Paisano can’t force students to read the newspaper. We can only provide the product and make ourselves visible enough so that students know that a student-run newspaper exists.

Students who read The Paisano should encourage others to read it.

We need to create an environment where everyone wants to stay informed. Do you dislike a story? Then send us a letter to the editor. It’s a fast way to get involved in the paper as a concerned student of UTSA. Bet-

Baldies by Emily Grams

ter yet, why not join The Paisano and make changes.

The only way for The Paisano to evolve as an organization and a publication is for passionate students (with loads of free time) to join us and contribute to our success.

The Paisano isn’t afraid to admit its shortcomings but using accountability as a weapon rather than a tool for change seems to mirror our current political culture. We aren’t afraid to hold others accountable, but we hold ourselves accountable as well.

So, next time you see us tabling, grab a paper or give us some constructive criticism. We need your participation to stay relevant, and in these times of diminishing tangible media outlets, relevance is everything.

features@paisano-online.com UTSA biology senior Kim Kang was stressed out. Armed with an iPod filled with her favorite tunes, Kang tackled her stress with music, creativity and a whole lot of cake frosting.

What started out as a way to relieve stress quickly turned into a hobby that has led to new creations and a spot on San Antonio Living. Here’s what she said about relieving stress.

(MG): What was the stress that drove you to bake?

(KK): The stress of taking 18 hours of biology courses. I’m studying to be an optometrist. I’m also minoring in business.

(MG): What previous experience with baking did you have?

(KK): Very little.

(MG): What was the toughest thing to learn about baking?

(KK): The most challenging part about baking is decorating [the cupcakes]. I have an image in my head of what I want my cupcakes to look like.

I always think that they can look better, or I get new ideas to make it look better. Being a perfectionist doesn’t help me much because I always end up starting over or adding or replacing different parts of the decorations until I am satisfied with the way they look.

Sometimes that can take hours!

(MG): What inspires you?

(KK): It’s not too challenging to come up with ideas because I start by getting a few ideas from books and magazines. I implement my own ideas with theirs and try to come up with something that I think will look good!

Also, the seasons, holidays or special events inspire me. I like to bake things that go along with the seasons. I baked

the hamburger cupcakes for a company picnic.

(MG): What are your favorite creations?

(KK): The hamburger cupcakes.

They really do look like little hamburgers.

(MG): With the holidays approaching, do you have any specialty cakes in the works?

(KK): My family will get together in Houston for Thanksgiving, so I’ll be baking the turkey cupcakes.

(MG): What do you think stands out in your creations?

(KK): I think the detail of the decorations stand out in my cupcakes. If I am going to decorate the cupcake to make it look like a certain animal, I try my best to make sure that I get the texture right. For example, I wanted to make the baby chick cupcake look fuzzy and found that using coconut shavings did the trick.

(MG): Do you eat the treats you bake?

(KK): I have a huge sweet tooth, so I always give away what I bake; otherwise, I would eat them all.

(MG): Do you sell your treats?

(KK): I haven’t sold any, but after my appearance on San Antonio Living last summer, I received a few orders! I really just bake for family and friends.

My co-workers are my biggest supporters. They’re also my guinea pigs.

I try out new recipes on them.

(MG): Do you see baking these treats as a long term endeavor?

(KK): Maybe someday in the future.

My best friend loves to bake too, and we decided that someday we’d like to give this a try. My family is really supportive too. But for now, I’m focusing on getting my biology degree to become an optometrist. Right now,

Bio and business major Kim Kang prepares a cupcake tin for the oven. Kang began baking to ease stress.

baking is a fun hobby. It might be too much pressure to do this as a business right now.

(MG): Where do you think your creativity comes from?

(KK): My mom. We’re very close.

She’s creative too. I remember watching my mom decorate my Valentine’s Day box in elementary school. She also made horses out of yarn and cardboard for one of my school projects. She always came up with projects for us to work on together on her days off. I also like the arts and crafts.

(MG): What kinds of arts and crafts are you interested in?

(KK): I enjoy scrapbooking, painting posters and banners for birthdays and coloring in coloring books - which is

what I do during my study breaks. I also love to sew, but I don’t consider myself that good at it. I also love decorating my room, picture frames and jewelry.

(MG): What is your mom’s favorite cupcake?

(KK): My mom’s favorite cupcakes are the Thanksgiving turkey cupcakes.

Thanksgiving is her favorite time of year because it’s one of the few times that the entire family gets together.

(MG): Are you still stressed out?

(KK): Not so much anymore. Baking allows me to be creative and distracts me from the pressures of studying. I wear my iPod while I’m baking and just focus on that.

With a weak economy, no wonder everyone wants to save money. Affordable and great tasting food can be hard to come by, but one restaurant has both. Checkers, located at 13835 block of Nacogdoches is a 50’s style diner that offers a variety of affordable menu items.

The restaurant’s décor of black and white photos, checkered floor tile and 50’s style furniture will transport you back in time. Checkers is definitely the place to go.

Everything offered is cooked to order. Checkers offers lunch and dinner, Monday-Saturday, 11a.m. to 9p.m. and Sunday 11a.m. to 8p.m.

Menu items vary from seafood, beef and steak to sandwiches and salads. But the best part of Checkers is the price. Checkers offers great lunch specials. Two people can order a complete meal for under $20.

A meal of chicken fried steak covered with country gravy with two sides of mashed potatoes and broccoli along with some cornbread. Side orders vary from vegetables to salads. Another delicious meal is their bacon cheeseburger topped with your choice of vegetables.

Cooked to order, this burger will definitely fill you up.

A lunch special such as the chicken fried steak is priced at $7.50 and a classic bacon cheeseburger at $7.65, which totals $15.15 for two people.

This is definitely a bargain meal.

So your next meal for two could be affordable and tasty.

“The Rocky Horror Show” is a very controversial show and has been banned in other cities for its content.

Although the Woodlawn Theatre has a family oriented environment, “The Rocky Horror Show” is definitely not for kids and differs from other shows at the theatre because of its late-night schedule. The theme of sexual liberation is prevalent in the show but Pennington says “the overall message of the show is for people to accept each individual how they are no matter what they look like or what their sexual orientation is.” “The Rocky Horror Show” gives people a chance to come as they are and appreciate great performances in a relaxed setting.

As for playing Frank N. Furter, Pennington admires the way the writer, Richard O’Brien, wrote the character’s satire. He goes on to say that “The Rocky Horror Show” is usually “portrayed as a campy, crazy show but is a musical that is written very well.” The lead role of Frank N. Furter is essential for creating an atmosphere that is beneficial for the entire cast. Pennington chose the role in order to bring the positive energy needed to make a great show for the cast and audience. Playing Dr. Frank N. Furter has helped him improve overall as a performer and leader for his theater company, Pennington Productions.

“The Rocky Horror Show” is now playing until Nov. 5. Catch performances on Thursdays at 8 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays at 10:30 p.m. and a Halloween showing at 8 p.m. Audience members are encouraged to dress up in true “Rocky Horror” fashion.

According to the film, this show will “thrill you, chill you and fulfill you.”

Kimchi festival blooms at UTSA Veronica Gaskey

arts@paisano-online.com East Asia Institute’s inaugural “Kimchi Festival” brought Korean culture, history and tradition to UTSA on Oct. 22 in a fun-filled and family-friendly environment.

The festival is held in honor of kimchi, the national dish of Korea. Kimchi is a Korean staple created from cabbage, spices, shrimp, and oils.

Fourteen booths in the University Center containing numerous activities ranging from arts and crafts, to trivia games surrounded the entrance area of the festival providing people of all ages with entertainment. Each booth fully captured a particular corner of Korean culture. At one booth, there were trivia games with questions ranging from geographical to historical facts. A few booths over, children received the opportunity to craft colorful Korean folding paper, creating

cute bow ties, fun little animals and oriental folding fan. The next booth over presented information on two programs that are open to college students world-wide: Talk and Epik. Each program’s purpose is to increase the number of bilingual students by opening more doors for them in the future through educating them in the skill of speaking Korean.

Not only was the event fun for the entire family, it also served an educational purpose with demonstrations and presentations on Korea’s current economy, social stand and future opportunities. Prestigious speakers such as Consul Young-Ho Son, consulate general of the Republic of Korea in Houston, and Jai Hun Yang M.D., president of the Korean American Association of S.A., all gave their welcoming remarks to jump start a line of lively performances on traditional dances and songs.

Festival: UTSA’s first Kimchi festival a success From Page 7

First to perform was a group of middle school students, each equipped with their own Korean drum, reenacting Korea’s Harvest Dance, also known as, the Changgo Dance. Following their charming performance was a more professional Korean Dance Team from the Korean American Cultural Center of S.A., with their upbeat Mondumbuk Korean Drum routine.

No Korean performance is complete without a sing-along with the audience and performers of Korea’s classic- A Ri Rang, led by B.J. Yang of the Korean American Association of S.A. The diverse audience enjoyed themselves; especially when it came time to taste all 17 delectable Korean dishes and kimchis. After interviewing two UTSA students with full plates, they both gave the food ‘two-thumbs up’.

Even though the event was made for 200 people, there were 400 plus in attendance. Wondering how San Antonio matched up against Houston, I asked Consulate Son from the Republic of Korea in Houston how he thought San Antonio did. Defending his city he smiled and said, “Houston and Dallas have a bigger Korean community beating San Antonio by 20,000.

So naturally, events in Houston are catered to a much larger audience. Sizewise, San Antonio can’t compete with Houston’s Asian community; however, this event was well organized and next year it needs to be bigger, so come support, share our role!”

Professor Mimi Yu, president of UTSA’s East Asia Institute, stressed the importance and educational value of this event by stating that, “multilingual students will have more opportunities in, not only the political arena, but also in the business world. And I think we need to train our students to be global… to know more about countries outside the United States, particularly in Asia.” According to Yu, the purpose of the Kimchi Festival is to “help promote understanding and appreciation of the Korean language and cultural, but also to help stimulate interest among our students and the community to really pay more attention to what Asia is like.”

Informative, fun, creative, lively and educational, UTSA’s first inaugural “Kimchi Festival” was a big step in bringing Korean culture to San Antonio.

In attempt to crown San Antonio’s top taco, The Paisano staff nominated 12 unique taco eateries. We have invited the residents of San Antonio to vote with us from the following restaurants. Vote each week and support your favorite taco, in hopes that it makes it to the top.

Chela’s- Chela’s tacos have an extensive menu of top quality tacos.

They have a variety of “Chela’s only” tacos including favorites like “el Diablo” and “la costra del guero.”

Los Perejil- Los Perejil is a popular taco truck that makes its home at the corner of bandera Road and Gilbeau road. This late-night eatery has many specialty plates of their own creation.

Ricky’s Tacos – Ricky’s Tacos is a taco truck just outside the popular UTSA dive, The Cantina. Lines form outside Ricky’s most weekends as hungry patrons wait to order their delicious mini tacos.

The Cove – One of the few San Antonio restaurants to be featured in The Food Network’s “Diners, DriveIn’s and Dives”. The Cove is known for their very savory fish taco.

This album is the culmination of over a decade of work from Chris Martin (Lead Vocals), Jonny Buckland (guitarist), Guy Berryman (Bass) and Will Champion (drums). It was creatively constructed so that each song plays off of one another and the albums underlying tale is one of love between Mylo and Xyloto. One second there is bursting colorful anthems, the next quiet intimate moments with Martin that help progress the narrative.

The first song on the album is “Mylo

Xyloto”, a slow prelude to “Hurts Like Heaven” which sets the tone for the whole album. It’s a very vibrant song that immediately exuberates the direction in which Coldplay took the album.

The album is very flamboyant and display the intoxicating beats that Mylo Xyloto has to offer.

Located in downtown, Gemini Ink stands as a place of refuge and growth for readers and writers alike. This local non-profit literary arts center offers many outreach programs to the community in hopes of promoting an overall growth and understanding of literature, theatre, film and other related art forms.

One of the outreach programs is Writers in Communities (WIC).

Through WIC, published writers are sent out into the community to schools and other institutions to inspire and educate students about writing. The writers teach students about literary topics, such as creative writing and storytelling. According to Gemini Ink’s website, the success of this program has brought about recognition from various news outlets, most notably, The New York Times and San Antonio Express-News.

Gemini Ink also offers the Dramatic Readers Theatre (DRT) program, where performers dramatically read literature aloud, often complimented with music. This program offers audiences a chance to really see the literature of local authors come to life. DRT’s next event will be a collaboration with San Antonio Museum of Art entitled

“Writers Respond to Art,” which will feature San Antonio writers Norma Cantú, Barbara Renaud Gonzalez and Derek Delgado. These writers will perform original pieces responding to the museum’s Latin American Art collections. This free event is Tuesday, Nov. 9 at 9:30 p.m. at the San Antonio Museum of Art. University Without Walls (UWW) stands as Gemini Ink’s broadest programs. UWW offers classes and workshops about craft and creativity from a highly qualified faculty.

Roadrunner outside hitter Elise Huskey spikes the ball past a Lamar defender during Southland Conference action Saturday.

Volleyball ties school record with 10th straight sweep Richard Castillo

sports@paisano-online.com The Roadrunners continued their domination of Southland Conference opponents with a home sweep of the Lamar Cardinals (25-15, 25-14, 25-18), Saturday, Oct. 22, in the Convocation Center.

The victory was the Roadrunners’ tenth consecutive sweep against conference opponents, adding to their conference record streak and tying the school record for most consecutive sweeps, set back in 1987.

“It’s always nice to break records and be in the record books, but we want to remain on our goal which is to go 16-0 and win the conference,” Head Coach Laura Neugebauer-Groff said. “I am impressed by the team’s growth as a unit and their chemistry.”

The Roadrunners established their presence early in the opening set.

Sophomore McKenzie Adams continued her impressive performance this season with five kills in set one. Junior Kelsey Schwirtlich kept the team’s offense running smoothly with two kills of her own and 10 assists.

The second set showcased how many skilled players the Roadrunners have this year. Freshman Dempsey TMP PRODUCTION Thornton gave her offensive contribution with 6.498 x 7 five kills in the set and juniors Brittney Malloy and Whitney Walls kmc/rv added three kills each. Schwirtlich out did her first set performance with 11 assists in the second set.

Set three was the most competitive of the match. The Cardinals came out determined to push the Roadrunners to a fourth set, but senior Elise Huskey had other plans. Huskey powered the Roadrunners’ offense with six of her seven kills in the final set for the complete sweep of another Southland Conference opponent. Schwirtlich tallied an impressive 36 assists for the match. UTSA’s second all-time digs leader, Kelsey Jewasko, was a constant

er as key factors to this year’s success.

“We don’t have to talk, and we know where everyone is on the court just because we feel so comfortable with each other,” Schwirtlich said. “As for the assists, if I didn’t have such a great defense behind me, I would never have that, so I would have to thank them for that.”

A big factor of that great defense has been the extraordinary performance of San Antonio native and team captain Jewasko. Jewasko leads the Roadrunners in digs, 442, and digs per set, 5.46. “I can’t even tell you how much fun I’m having this season. The team is everything you want, everything you hope for and more,” Jewasko said.

The Roadrunners will go on a long four-match road trip before returning to the Convocation Center on Nov. 11 to face conference rival Texas State.

VERIZON WIRELESS CAREERS PRESENTS

WIRELESS WEDNESDAY

McKINNEY HUMANITIES BUILDING NOVEMBER 2ND, 10am-2pm

Find out what’s going on at Verizon Wireless!

On the second floor of the Convocation Center just behind the concession stand at the north end there is an area where one can sit and enjoy a concession purchase while still being able to hear the action below. The area is decorated with team photos honoring those teams that have brought home conference championships in recent years.

There is something missing, though. Nowhere on the photos does it say who was on the team or how they did that season. The photos are there, but there is no information about the teams in the photo. The only way one can identify the team is by the backdrop or the uniforms.

While that works for giving people something to look at while they eat their way through nachos or popcorn, it leaves something to be desired for someone who might want to know more about the history of UTSA athletics.

There is only one way to properly honor UTSA’s history, and that is with a museum/hall of fame.

The museum could be a place where people could look at the football that was used to kick off the first Roadrunner game. The museum would also be a place where the trophies and awards that UTSA has received for its great moments in sports could be displayed.

You would be able to see the uniform that the men’s basketball team wore when they won their first conference title in 1999, the one they wore last season when they won the first NCAA tournament game in school history.

Some of these artifacts that have

shaped our university could be found in a UTSA museum.

The museum would not just be a sports museum; it would also hold important pieces of the UTSA story.

The first catalog of classes could be on display right next to a copy of the legislation that gave UTSA life in the 60s.

In addition to a museum there should also be a UTSA Hall of Fame where the people who put the betterment of the university ahead of themselves could be honored and remembered. UTSA has had enough people who have left noticeable impacts to warrant a hall of fame inclusion for their tireless work.

The Hall of Fame could be subdivided either by decade or by department, but the number one goal of the hall would be to celebrate the people who made the biggest impact in shaping our university.

The first step in having a museum at UTSA would be finding a location. One option could be to turn the lower floor of the Institute of Texan Cultures into the UTSA museum/ hall of fame. Or perhaps instead of another Starbucks, the university could place the museum in the new parking garage being built next to the Main Building.

Wherever it is placed, the museum will grow as the story of UTSA grows.

That means it may need a building of its own, which could be where the community comes in.

A UTSA museum/hall of fame would be a place where people could gather to look at artifacts that have shaped this university as well as a place where the story of UTSA could be told to future generations of Roadrunners.
