Midterm elections on fire at UTSA

By Lauren Donecker Staff Writer Early voting for the midterm elections occurred Oct. 22 through Nov. 2. UTSA had an early voting site in the H-E-B Student Union Bexar Room on the Main Campus. During this midterm election, Texas voters will be deciding on the seats in the House of Representatives and Senate along with Governor, Lt. Governor, Comptroller, State Land Commissioner, State Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, State Agriculture Commissioner and State Railroad Commissioner. Bexar County elections include County Commissioner, District Attorney, District Clerk, County Clerk, County Judge and San Antonio charter propositions.

Several events were hosted on campus by the UTSA Center for Civic Engagement, and it seems that their efforts made a difference. Student turnout was incredible. In the two-week early voting period 10,575 ballots were cast at the UTSA voting site out of the 380,379 total in Bexar County. According to early voting statistics, since 2014 early voting is up 500 percent in Texas by young people between the ages of 18 and 30.

Students were also encouraging friends, family and peers to go out and vote–even if it meant encouraging someone who did not stand for the same things.

“I try to pass my enthusiasm to my peers in hopes of getting them to vote. Considering so many groups have historically been marginalized when it comes to voting, don’t let their legacies be rendered useless by not casting your ballot for the representation you want. At the end of the day I don’t care who you vote for, just go vote,” said Josh Ellis, sophomore economics major.

During this two week span, the lines for early voting were so long on campus that the neighboring ballroom in the Student Union was opened to extend the line.

“I know that people showed up in historic numbers for the early voting this year. On the day that I went, the whole ballroom was filled with people waiting in line to vote. The lines were long but the wait was so worth it,” said Ashley Carden, junior early childhood education major.

Early voting is now over, but there is still a chance to vote on Election Day, Nov. 6. To find out where you precinct’s voting site is, visit your county’s website and search your address for the nearest location. Note that the address you search should match the one on your voter registration record. You can also check your voter registration status online.

Go out and make your voice heard. It is your civic duty and your legal right.

“We are the generation that could change things. The only way to make that change is to get out and vote. Voting is someContinued on page 2 See “Early voting turnout”

Enrollment numbers break UTSA records 30,968 students enrolled during Fall 2018

By Caleb McBride Contributing Writer UTSA President Taylor Eighmy has introduced 15 initiatives over the last 14 months: eight presidential, three strategic and four tactical. The Presidential Initiative for Strategic Enrollment aims to increase UTSA enrollment to 38,400 by the fall of 2023 and to more than 45,000 students by the fall of 2028.

For fall 2018, the UTSA Office of Institutional Research has reported an all-time high of 32,101 students, surpassing the previous fall 2011 record of 30,968 students.

As to which facilities will serve all of these new students, UTSA Interim Vice President for Strategic Enrollment Dr. Lisa Blazer says “The president has laid out several initiatives for downtown, so we can expect some of the undergraduate enrollment to shift to the Downtown Campus through the School of Data Science and College of Business.”

Will Smith, a sophomore majoring in cybersecurity and information

systems, shared his thoughts on why it is important for to UTSA to focus on its student population. “As UTSA continually strives for top tier status, it is ever more important to focus on the growth of the entire student and faculty population by expanding enrollment and increasing diversity,” Smith said.

The School of Data Science and the National Security Collaboration Center have secured funding while the Col-

lege of Business remains in the proposal phase.

Future UTSA students will be able to enjoy a suite of new facilities in the Downtown Campus.

While these downtown buildings are in the development phases, the Main Campus can be expected to accommodate the majority of increases in enrollment.

One major piece of the Strategic Enrollment Initiative is to “Focus on academic areas that align with workforce needs,”

Blazer said. “Faculty will be hired based on the needs of individual departments and the growth that happens within certain colleges.”

With respect to departmental growth, there are two major implications. First, departments connected to specific job-fields can expect to receive the focus of the university in this period of growth. Second, expansion of faculty will be conducted on a departmental and college-

wide basis instead of a university-wide level. We can expect to see certain colleges rapidly expand with increases in enrollment while others, less connected to workforce needs, may remain at current levels.

Some students believe that UTSA is not accomodating the increased population. Junior cyber security major Shawn Continued on page 2 See “Student population increase”

Recovery services available to UTSA community

By Alejandro (AJ) Lopez Co-News Editor Collegiate recovery is an emerging field that is growing rapidly as more and more universities recognize the need to offer recovery services.

The UT System established the UTSA Center for Collegiate Recovery after seeing the need for recovery services for all of their academic institutions.

The center was established in 2013 with funding from the UT System as well as a grant from the Stacie Mathewson Foundation, which focuses on youth recovery specifically targeting primary school, secondary school and college environments.

The center’s purpose is to provide recovery services to students on campus by creating a safe, supportive community that allows them to connect with other students in recovery, while being academically successful.

Assistant Director of the UTSA Center for Collegiate Recovery Kristen McElroy discusses why it is important for a college campus to offer recovery services.

“Some people start such as recovery meetthoughts on the center. “I allies of students in (or drinking alcohol or using ings, that are held on the think it’s awesome that seeking) recovery and other substances during Main Campus and Down- UTSA offers a recovery students who are seeking their college years.

UTSA UTSA honored veterans the week of Nov. 5 with events to salute veterans on campus.

The events held in observance of the holiday include a Women Veterans Luncheon and Panel, Platicas: A cross cultural conversation, a filmed screening of Kilimanjaro Warriors and a Veterans Resource Fair. UTSA Army and Airforce ROTC will perform a pass and review parade at the Veterans Day Ceremony on Nov. 8 at 3 p.m. at the Central Plaza at the Main Campus.

Texas A newlywed couple was killed over the weekend in a helicopter crash that departed from their wedding. The crash was reported on Sunday, Nov. 4 in Uvalde, Texas. Officials say the cause of the crash is unknown. The couple were undergraduate seniors attending Sam Houston State University.

U.S. With already 20 million early voters as of Oct. 31 for U.S. midterm elections, voter polls saw a rise in older female voters. The vote is lead by the older population in seven states.

States have also surpassed early voting totals compared to that of 2014, allowing some states to reach an exponential voter turnout.

World Ethiopia swore in its first female Supreme Court Chief, Meaza Ashenafi. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, who has pushed for more female leadership roles in his cabinet, nominated Meaza. A wave of female-appointed top government positions have been filled recently in Ethiopia’s political cabinet. The new female Supreme Court Chief is a human rights lawyer.

Business Amazon is offering free shipping on all orders for the holidays in an attempt to land new prime members and increase sales for the upcoming shopping season.

This promotion would make Amazon more competitive to stores like Target, who also offer free two-day shipping on all orders from Nov. 1 through Dec. 22. The promotion is only available in the United States.

Science Tesla wants more customers to buy its autopilot upgrade. The company just cut its price on the new autopilot upgrade by $1,500 for eligible customers.

Customers who don’t have Enhanced Autopilot and haven’t had a free trial are eligible to test it for free for 30 days.

For a week after the trial, they are eligible to upgrade to the autopilot for $5,500 instead of the usual $7,000.

Q:

What do you teach here at UTSA and what inspired you to teach?

I just finished my Ph.D. in May, so I’m adjunct teaching at UTSA and Our Lady of the Lake, teaching literature and composition mainly.

I’ve also taught creative writing courses in the past, so basically anything to do with writing and literature. I’m game because I love it all, but my specialty is contemporary Gothic discourse in multicultural young adult and new adult literature and performance with an emphasis in decolonial theory.

Before teaching at the collegiate

Q:

level, I taught high school English. I got into teaching because I found that stories are powerful and enchantingly subversive tools for altering personal and political realities [because the two are intimately connected].

If you want to start a revolution, teach rhetorical savviness and take deep dives into characters’ heads; it alters imaginations and – subsequently – lives.

Stephanie Schoellman has degrees in English and creative writing.

Where did you go to college and what made you want to become a professor?

I earned my A.A. at Northwest Vista College, my B.A. at Schreiner University, my M.A. at Our Lady of the Lake University and my Ph.D. here at UTSA — all in English and creative writing. So, I’m a Wildcat Willie-Mountaineer-Saint-Rowdy Roadrunner amalgamation.

In short, I became a teacher because the classroom atmosphere generates new perspectives, new

patterns of thought — all begotten from attentive dialogue and inquiry.

That’s like double-shots of espresso to the senses. And I like coffee.

Additionally, I find the upcoming generation to be both parts enraged and hopeful–a good combination.

Talking with young, woke and creative folks is refreshing and gives me courage. PSA: Please vote this November.

Student population increases

Continued from Page 1

Knox weighs in, “I feel that currently UTSA is overpopulated, from no parking to little study space. The more students that our campus accepts, the more there is for a need to accommodate said students.”

Plans to increase enrollment at the university and maintain the quality of the freshman class at the same time can appear ambitious.

UTSA is planning to engage with students earlier in their path to enrollment at UTSA. First, the initiative proposes to award financial aid earlier than before. Second, Blazer says “UTSA will begin

preparing admitted students before they enroll at orientation and through summer orientation to set them up for success when they get to UTSA.” A major factor in increasing enrollment is through student retention; UTSA is working on improving the availability and quality of advising programs and helping current undergraduates have a clear end-goal in mind with a graduation action plan. Therefore, admitted students can expect support before they enroll, as they progress through their classes and finally cross the stage.

Q:

Where you are from and have you faced any struggles to get to where you are today?

I’m a First Gen college student from a small town in Texas, which has its pro’s and con’s. On one hand, being First Gen gave me certain freedoms. Nearly any degree was seen as advantageous, and an accomplishment by my family, which allowed me to pursue my passion.

However, acquiring an education often changes one’s point of view, and one risks diverging from tradition and disrupting family consensus, shall we say.

Q:

Photo Courtesy of Stephanie Schoellman

Conversely, in academia, I often have to deal with imposter syndrome, especially when I get the occasional elitist side-eye, like “what is this upstart country gal doing here having opinions and such?”

Fortunately, many faculty at UTSA have been supportive and encouraging, and I would also encourage those First Gen students to persevere and give yourself permission to be wholly you — roots and all.

Literature can be a great tool and I was wondering how your knowledge of literature has helped you in your life?

Literature saved my life. I dealt with major clinical depression in my teens and twenties, and literature is what helped me sometimes escape, sometimes confront metaphorical demons. In texts, I found comradery with characters and inspiration from well-crafted sentences that rewired my brain. While literature didn’t

“cure” me, it did provide this space that lent me a grace of suspension, a different vantage and eventually a path of empowerment through the act of creation. We are storied beings, and narratives are supple. The stories we tell ourselves have power, and we in turn have the power to tell different stories.

opinion Young people show up, show out and vote Editorial Time and time again young voters have failed to show up to the polls to vote. According to the Washington Post, an U.S. Census Bureau data tracking turnout that analyzed the United States elections reported that since 1986 young voter turnout has not eclipsed 21 percent. The lowest voter turnout was in 2014 when only 16 percent of eligible voters within the ages 18 to 29 cast a ballot.

In contrast, according to CNN.com, over 59 percent of seniors voted in the 2014 midterm election.

How can this country grow if young people are not voting?

It cannot. Many persons between the ages 18 and 22 may find it difficult to understand the importance of voting, especially, when it seems like all politicians are corrupt, or all the elections are rigged and the government do not care about the nation as a whole. However, that impression should not discourage the young voter; it should motivate him or her.

Now is not the time to say “nothing will ever change.” Be the

change you are looking for. Instead of complaining about corrupt politicians, vote for the candidate you believe has the country’s best interest at heart.

Furthermore, instead of being upset at the government for not calling out voting fraud, become an activist and encourage other citizens to hold their elected officials accountable by voting them out of office when they do not act ethically.

According to the Texas Tribune, over 4.5 million people in Texas cast in-person ballots in this year’s early voting, which means in

12 days of early voting more people have come out to vote than all those who voted in the 2014 midterm election.

The long lines at UTSA’s early voting site is encouraging, but we must not be complacent. We are not far away from the next presidential election. We must reverse the trend of low voter turnout for the younger generation.

Young voters — it is time to show up, show out and vote.

Letter to the Editor

Student government spending does little to benefit students I write to protest the financial practices of the Student Government Association (SGA).

SGA’s budget is $47,183, which is funded by UTSA’s mandatory student services fee. This past weekend, the SGA spent about $5000 of that money to send its executive board to the American Student Government Association (ASGA) conference in Dallas. You may ask yourself “Why do I care?” but the reason is simple: this money – your money – was spent on 11 students, without a vote from the elected representatives, with the objective being to “learn” from the conference, when five of the 11 students are graduating and won’t even be in SGA next year and one is even leaving at the end of this fall!

Let me be clear, my issue is not with the conference itself; it’s the manner that the executive board went about deciding to go. Chief of Staff Julie Castillo proposed going to ASGA so that SGA could eventually bring a national conference to UTSA, and for the executive board to learn how to better run the organization so it could, supposedly, better serve students. The whole premise is flawed, however. How can we put in the legwork to host a conference, when most of the people who went won’t be coming back? Plus, of the eleven students who went, seven were chosen solely by the SGA President; there was no vote on who could and couldn’t go — it was decided by the president without any input from the SGA Senate.

Of further concern is how these funds were secured for the trip. Under SGA’s constitution and bylaws, the senate may only approve, amend or reject the budget that the treasurer formulates and proposes. Once the budget is adopted, however, the Senate (your voice in the SGA) has astonishingly little power over how the money is spent. Say that I propose that SGA spends $75.27 on purchasing a phone booth for students to use on campus. The treasurer has three options at his or her disposal: (1) They can outright reject the proposal; (2) They can determine the proposed money “budgeted” and approve it (without a Senate vote) or (3) They can determine the proposed money “unbudgeted” in which case it is the Senate who needs to vote to approve or disapprove of the funds being spent. ASGA was determined to be “budgeted” by the treasurer; the elected representatives had no voice and no vote on whether the board could go, or how the funds would be spent.

You must ask yourself one question: are you okay with all of this? SGA has been criticized in the past for spending too much money on itself, so this year there was a restructuring in the budget, to cut back on the money it spent on itself. Yet, SGA leadership did this and didn’t even need to justify it to anyone but themselves.

Are you okay with this continuing? Are you okay with SGA spending your money without your input? Are you okay with SGA’s executive board making these decisions behind closed doors? These are all questions you must ask yourself and your fellow students. You can freely ask the SGA President Brittany Garcia these questions, or you can stop by the SGA office at HEB Student Union 1.214. Let your representatives know where you stand on these issues, and hold them accountable when they spend your money without asking for your input.

Can friends become lovers?

Commentary

By Brent Davis Staff Writer If best friends were to take that next step, would it be okay? Would they have a happy Hollywood ending or would it crash along with the friendship that was once shared? We all know that love can be a very blissful yet a very

dangerous thing in college.

Many of us go through college with at least one relationship, good or bad.

What happens when you start to develop feelings for your close friend and want to take that next step with them? People say love is the only insanity which is acceptable in society, and makes us lose all rationality to do crazy things.

However, when it comes to falling for a close friend, is the reward greater than the risk?

Although dating a best friend is hard to compre-

hend at times, it can be argued that it is something many of us dream about.

In reality, a best friend is what many people are looking for. How many times have we seen in movies or heard from older people that they married their best friend? Taking the next step could arguably be the most important decision in their lives.

Maybe the bond they shared helped them get along. We understand the things we love and hate about our best friends. This could make the relation-

ship stronger.

We may have fears of what may happen if it fails or the fear that the friendship may end. If you find yourself in this situation, ask yourself these questions: First, would you rather watch their feelings be lost and your friend find someone else to love?

Could you handle watching your best friend getting hurt by someone else?

Would that guilt eat you alive, knowing that you could have been better for them? Second, since your friendship is strong, it

should survive a breakup, but will things become awkward afterwards? It really should not stop you from still remaining friends, there are some exceptions such as infidelity. Third, if we consider a future spouse a best friend, why are we so afraid of taking that next step? We know it will probably lead us to happiness.

These are all good questions to ask. We should be willing to date a best friend and not ignore such feelings if a friend decides to ask us out. Remember,

if you know them well enough and you get along, then why not be more open to giving them a chance if they make you happy.

At the end of the day, we should all swallow our pride and give our best friends a chance to try and make us happy, or be brave enough to approach the situation. It could benefit both parties and lead to happiness if both are willing to take that risk.

The side story of a side chick Commentary

By Adrianne Kristianto Staff Writer Urban Dictionary defines a side chick as, “a female that is neither a male’s wife or girlfriend who has relations with the male while he is in another relationship.” The first thought that appears in my mind is generally, a “homewrecker” or other demeaning terms that define a woman who uses her power to dominate the mind of a man who is already unavailable. This is the simplest way of how we justify their actions and behavior.

To better explain the side chick position, we must agree on one thing before anything else: without the conscious decision of a man who is already in a relationship, the “side chick” position wouldn’t be a thing. And yes, I am aware that there are women out there who are also romantically involved with a third person in their relationships.

Take it from someone who has had more or less the same experience of playing this role; it’s better to be independent.

Some women are content with this position — they want nothing less, nothing more. For others, they lie and pretend that they are content. Hate it or love it, it is nothing more than a place of entertainment for the male. The term “side chick” has become more prevalent and normalized in our society, that there are men who refer to their girlfriend or wife as their “main chick,” boldly implying that she isn’t the only woman in their relationship. You may ask, “Why must

they mess around with a man who’s already taken?” Well, according to social psychologists Roy Baumeister and Sara Wotman, “When something is hot and heavy, even if brief, it has made changes in your brain chemicals that your brain likes, and it’s not a fan of having them taken away.” As you explore new people and new relationships, your brain chemistry alters itself according to what you think is satisfying at that moment. When you consciously relive that particular moment over and over again, your brain chemistry has already become so accustomed to it that when you try to stop, you find it very difficult to do so. Hence, certain men and women agree to the idea of having or being a side chick, as they cannot find the same, unique satisfaction in anyone else — not even in their own partner. Nevertheless, this is not an excuse for any risqué behavior. It may seem like it could be a thrill of a lifetime, but keep in mind that the side chick position is

merely a secret for that man.

As someone who has had lessthan-shining moments when it comes to romantic relationships, I can assure you that the side chick position will drive a woman insane sooner or later — demanding constant attention from a toxic man, playing the invisible third player in the relationship and knowing that what she’s doing doesn’t justify her values. Even if a woman deliberately signed up for the position, it is mentally exhausting.

Women have come a long way to learn how to be independent and intelligent, and yet, most of us are still willing to accept and be satisfied with being the number two for a man who’s not even half our worth. We are more than just the number two and we should not settle for less. Those who do it for the money, read the first line of this paragraph. And men who think they’re nice but know what they’re doing is wrong: just stop it. Stop giving the same the tender, love

and care to other women like you do with your mother and girlfriend or wife. If your intention is to be a player, be a player. Don’t be a liar. To be a player means to have all your women know that they’re not the only women in your life.

Hiding one or several of them in hopes that your girlfriend or wife won’t find out is something that a liar would do. Know the difference. And for those who still stuck around and stayed by his side after so many red flags: you know what to do. Your friends have told you this, you have told yourself this, even Twitter has been telling you this for the longest. Leave! Recognize your needs and be aware if they are being met or not, beyond your wildest fairytale — the ring, the house and the babies. Because once you let his actions slide, he will ice skate. It’s time to dust off these scrubs.

UTSA’s registration website crashes

Controversial foods: Thanksgiving edition

Commentary

Commentary

By David Crawford Assistant Managing Editor ASAP the UTSA class registration website, crashed on Oct. 31, hindering seniors from registering for Spring 2019 classes.

In response, Interim Vice President for Strategic Enrollment Lisa Blazer sent out emails to senior students explaining the reasoning for the crash.

“The technical difficulties were due

to a new process for checking prerequisites, which for the first time was done through DegreeWorks,” Blazer said.

“Although today’s registration numbers were lower than the numbers used during testing, we experienced slow speeds and had to reboot our systems.”

Due to the website crashing, students who woke up at 7 a.m. were not able to register and risked not signing up for classes necessary for their degree. A student who was in class by the time the website recovered might not have made it into a required class. Once

the website was online again, many students would have missed their chance to register for specific classes.

The deadline for seniors to register was pushed to Nov. 5 and juniors were allowed to register that day as well. However, ASAP crashed again Nov. 5.

To prevent future hiccups, UTSA must improve server support to allow the increasing number of UTSA students to use the website without it crashing. DegreeWorks is a valuable management tool, but there is little value in an unreliable system.

UTSA students deserve better.

By Heather Montoya Co-News Editor Thanksgiving is a beautiful holiday that demands us to acknowledge the blessings in our lives — at least for some people. For others, the main attraction of Thanksgiving is the food, a topic that can be deeply controversial.

This has the potential to tear families apart, pitting brother against brother and sister against sister.

Three highly controversial foods that we find on our Thanksgiving table are cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes and the star of the show, turkey.

Cranberry sauce is one of the more interesting foods people consume on Thanksgiving. The controversy in cranberry sauce is whether anyone actually eats it.

For something that has “sauce” in the name, it sure does have a texture that highly resembles jelly. I can’t be the only

one who is curious as to why cranberry sauce comes in a can. However, it is oddly satisfying to see cranberry sauce taken out of the can, perfectly intact and aesthetically pleasing.

Onto the sweet potato, a highly underrated food to begin with. The name itself implies its natural sweetness, which is why my heart breaks a little when I see the vibrant starch drenched in brown sugar and marshmallows. My dear sweet potatoes, you are perfect as you are — oh so sweet all on your own.

Lastly, the turkey, the face of Thanksgiving and by far the most controversial food item.

While turkey is quite delightful, especially when smothered in buttery mashed potatoes and gravy, kudos to those who fry their turkey.

However, is it truly the best choice for the main Thanksgiving dish?

I’ll leave that for you to ponder yourself so I don’t ruffle too many feathers.

This Thanksgiving, I challenge you to put your opinions aside.

Enjoy the company of those around you, even if their Thanksgiving

food preferences are highly questionable, we should all just love each other anyway.

Arts & Life Light the way 11th annual Luminaria Arts Festival: a preview of the beloved San Antonio event.

I

By Rudy Sanchez Staff Writer

n 2008, a city initiative rolled out that created a nocturnal, multigenre arts festival to illuminate downtown San Antonio. Today, the Luminaria Arts Festival is a non-profit organization committed to advancing contemporary art in San Antonio. Since Luminaria’s inception, the annual festival has served as a platform for artists of all mediums to showcase their new contemporary works in public.

For 11 years, the event has enriched San Antonio’s art scene by giving a free festival for the public to enjoy and extract inspiration.

This year, the event is anticipating a once-in-a-lifetime buzz of creativity as the city basks in its tricentennial celebration. The 52 artists showcasing their work have been asked to consider San Antonio’s 300 year history.

Luminaria serves a role in the San Antonio community by providing a free public arts event available to all. The festival allows San Antonians to witness how their city can leave a watermark on the artwork and style of the festival’s producers. Kathy Armstrong, Luminaria’s executive director, feels the festival is unique because it has a cultural significance to San Antonio. She mentions, “we believe we are the only arts festival that showcases all art forms in one event.”

The festival is certainly showing no signs of restricting any mediums as the event includes film screenings, dance theatres, poetry readings, musicians and visual arts galleries. Despite these various genres, attendees can expect at least one common theme as they enter the festival — unapologetically new ideas.

Some of the highly anticipated events at the festival include the cult-followed, contemporary rock group Buttercup, performing on the mainstage Sunday at 7 p.m.

The group’s work has been described by NPR as “jangly art-rock for the left side of the brain.”

Another promising showcase, Remedios Sagrados, is a visual arts exhibition curated

by Suzy González. González’s work explores the concept of indigenous ancestry focalized through indigenous foods and cultural spirituality. The exhibition touches on topics such as the complexity of cultural identity and history in light of San Antonio’s tricentennial.

Anna De Luna’s anticipated multimedia theatrical performance, Mojada, is inspired by her mother’s migration from Mexico and will include interpretive movement, original video, bilingual storytelling and a live guitar performance. De Luna is a San Antonio native and her visceral and interpretive work will be performed at the Mexican Cultural Institute at 9 p.m.

Attendees can expect an experience that is unlike any other festival as they tour

Hemisfair Park: various mediums and ideas will surround attendees as they make their way through the park. It is not only a vibrant event for guests, but also for the artists as well. Many of the artists are showcasing or performing directly adjacent to artists of different genres. This promotes a rich and expressive oasis of contemporary thought.

Armstrong claims “Luminaria not only grows an audience for the arts, but it also grows stronger connections within the arts between all the different painters, poets, filmmakers, etc.”

Not only will the festival feature artists from vastly different backgrounds and trades, but for the first time the event is also hosting an opportunity for ametuer artists to briefly showcase their work in an open stage and open gallery setting. Ameteur artists who want to take advantage of this opportunity are encouraged to showcase one San Antonio-themed performance or artwork. On Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., visual artists need to bring their work to the open gallery, and performers will need to report to the open stage. All work must be original and artists will be chosen on a firstcome basis.

An estimated 20,000 people attended last year’s event. This year’s attendance is expected to surpass last year’s numbers. Luminaria will take place at Hemisfair Park on Saturday, Nov. 10, from 7 p.m. to 12 a.m. The event is free to the public. For more information about Luminaria and the events, visit luminariasa.org.

UTSA graduate student Eden Collins presents her MFA thesis: Sometimes I Play With Myself

By Katrina Clements Arts & Life Editor The way we present ourselves to the world is completely our choice, and to appear calm, collected and professional is what many strive to be perceived as on their route to success. But what about the traits we hide from the outside world? The characters who are full of personality just waiting for their time to shine. UTSA graduate student Eden Collins conveys the characters within herself using mixed media in her collection Sometimes I Play With Myself.

Set to graduate this fall, Collins presents her Master of Fine Arts thesis exhibit Sometimes I Play With Myself at Terminal 136 in the Blue Star Arts Complex. The exhibit features photos, videos, installations and sculptures all surrounding the themes of play, delight and the absurd. The collection exudes playful energy, with bright pink hues and butt plugs dangling from strings.

“A lot of it comes from my experience of hearing other people talk about their sexuality and experiences,” Collins said.

Conversation on the topics of masturbation and sexuality have been quieted in society, as these topics are generally considered to be taboo. “I just thought this is absurd; these are our bodies.

This is what we live in. These are our homes. Yet, we are afraid to touch a certain part of it. I thought it was time to change the way we spoke about these things,” Collins said.

The inspiration for this exhibit has been building since Collins’

childhood. Raised by a doctor and a nurse, Collins was educated and aware of her body and its functions. Collins’ parents had an extensive collection of books, and she and her friends would pour over these books and discuss erections, periods and other bodily functions they were noticing in their early adolescence.

These experiences throughout her childhood and adolescence led her to think, “Why isn’t this normal? Why isn’t this how life is all the time? It’s not actually that weird, look at how fun this can be,” Collins said. Sometimes I Play With Myself connects themes of sexuality and the characters featured in various pieces within the collection. “The characters are about taking pieces of my personality and exploding them into these individual segmentations but turning them into actual people,” Collins said.

In her works, Collins performs as these characters and creates a unique look and persona that is viewed through video, photography or performance. Each character exists in a different world according to Collins.

At Terminal 136, Anita Finger, The Bathtub Drag Queen, is displayed in a metallic iridescent frame on the left wall. The character of the drag queen has a mysterious element to her, as she appears only in photographs.

Anita is fabulous and wild but all in the safe confines of her bathroom, “Her whole shtick is that she is in the bathroom, because that’s her stage,” Collins said. Anita is also seen through

the life-size dresses created with bathroom towels, titled Anita and Her Pets. The dresses are delicately sewed with a matching towel-wrap head piece in shades of bright pink, coral, teal and yellow, which immediately draw attention upon walking into the exhibit. These dresses are Collins’ personal favorite out of her collection because “It is my childhood fantasy come to life. I would always make those outfits, but I usually used bobby pins, hair ties, twist ties and my mom’s bathrobe,” Collins said.

Anita Finger, The Bathtub Drag Queen In video installations, the opera singer takes the stage from the safety of her kitchen.

She is never public, is only an opera singer inside her head and allows us to view her through her own lens. The opera singer embodies the part of Collins that “So desperately wants to sing about doing [her] dishes, and serenading [her] pets. The opera singer is the person who just wants so badly to be a star but doesn’t know how. So she’s a star inside her own kitchen, and that’s her stage, that’s where she performs,” Collins explained.

Eden Collins expresses the parts of herself that many of us are afraid to acknowledge or express. This can inspire conversation and potential normalization of these quirky, sexual and loud parts of ourselves. The exhibit will be open at Terminal 136 through Nov. 17.

A tree-mendous impact UTSA hosts tree planting event to celebrate city’s tricentennial.

Big Sis Advice: Queen-dom

By Kimiya Factory Assistant News Editor

By Harrison Westphall Contributing Writer Anyone who loves nature, or enjoys the wonders of science was enthralled when UTSA hosted the official Arbor Day Celebration concurrent with the Monster Mash Pumpkin Smash.

This event was designed by the City of San Antonio, in coordination with UTSA. It was an excellent way to promote awareness of environmental health and the way trees help rid our air of toxic CO2. As a personal witness to both of these events, I can safely say that it was well worth the time and effort. The UTSA President and I exchanged many great ideas about STEM and the importance of engineering promotion.

President Taylor Eighmy commented that he was a “huge advocate for STEM learning. We need more men and women doing these practices. It’s an excellent example of hands on learning.”

STEM has historically been underrepresented in the female population. Women are only 40 percent of STEM doctoral degree earners. The path of the 21st century is not just for one race, ethnicity or gender and organizations like the National Women in Physics Association proudly assembled themselves for the event. Not only do women need to be shown that STEM is open for them, they also need to be shown that women in STEM are not alone.

The event caused some to reflect on experiments they conducted as

a child. One individual attending the event remarked the similarity between the event and past elemntay school projects “How I see it is that it brings an audience to the hobby side of engineering. It’s mainly mechanical engineers.”

The contraption that launched the pumpkins was a catapult that didn’t use any type of motor or electric propulsion. Not only were there engineering majors, but plenty of physics majors as well. An attraction like this falls under the category of civil engineering, which would involve construction projects, theme park attractions and dams.

Students were in awe at the event as pumpkins flew over the East Campus Lot. I can personally attest to seeing one pumpkin soar more than a hundred feet upward and land on the other end of the lot where the tree lines were.

For those who had conservation — not projectiles — in mind, the Arbor Day tree adoption was a wonderful complement. Students were able to line up and obtain their very own tree. This tree would be brought home to be taken care of, and would be officially signed to your name. This was a great way to help students appreciate the way greenspace is cultivated, and show that individuals can change their environment.

The group has had a wide space of success, when asked them about their message and their success.

They’ve planted 10,000 trees at more than 40 events. An event such as this is not an overt spectacle like a pumpkin catapult smash, but what the Parks and Recreation Department of San Antonio have been doing is a very noble goal that has a positive impact on their environment and air quality. Reports by the Nature Conservancy have shown that trees protect against heat waves in Texas. They “cool the air by casting shade and releasing water vapor.”

It’s also said that the leaves can filter out “fine particulate matter,” according to the Nature Conservancy.

These unique events both involved a positive contribution but were done in different forms. The Pumpkin Smash allowed for the promotion of science and the promotion of underrepresented groups within while the Arbor Day tree adoption was a way of promoting environmental cleanliness.

A person today may live in one of the most prosperous times, but that doesn’t mean we can’t do better. Situations like climate change, inequality in social sectors and our own human ignorance all call for one to rise to the occasion. According to Science Daily, you are emitting an average of “20 metric tons” of carbon dioxide emissions yearly. A mindset of complicity is never appropriate, if one cares about their home and their life. You can’t say you care about the future if you entrench yourself in the present.

“No one likes a woman who wears too much makeup.”

“You know I love you, I just couldn’t help myself, she was beautiful.”

“Nobody will put up with you but me, so don’t go looking.”

Yikes. It stings when you see those words written down, doesn’t it? Believe me, coming from someone who’s been there and not only heard these things with my own ears, but also started to believe them. Comments like these are common in a lot of relationships. Despite society’s tendency to dismiss abusive relationships based on how “young” one can be in college, these words and actions cut deep nonetheless. This article is for the women whose crown falls from time-to-time because sometimes their light can shine just a little too bright for somebody who has trouble appreciating them.

Although red flags are easy to sniff out, it’s common to ignore your gut feeling when you’re really digging somebody. A toxic relationship isn’t something that anyone anticipates; it becomes something that people find themselves in. However, does circumstance excuse excessive insecurity and blame in a toxic relationship? Never. Assuming you’ve heard anything like the sentences in the first few lines of this article, I want you to know that firstly, as alone as you might feel, more people hear those things than you think — you’re not alone.

Secondly, you are a queen, nothing less, never forget. And lastly, there are so many fish in the sea, and if you don’t want another fish, be your own.

So, wear as much make-up as you want, another woman’s beauty doesn’t justify cheating and look wherever you need to look if it means getting away from a person who takes you for granted. It is the best thing for you. Queen-dom comes with sacrifice and lessons learned but the silver lining in all of it is you.

For my Queens, Xoxo, Big Sis

Women’s basketball shines Roadrunners dominate Sul Ross State

By Zachary Truesdale Staff Writer

N

CAA women’s basketball is back this week after a long summer and fall of workouts and practices. The wait is over, and there is a lot to be hopeful for as UTSA prepares to take on the season. New faces have arrived on campus and the team is bound to get some competitive games in the near future. Players, coaching staff and fans are eager for the season to begin and see what lies ahead for the Roadrunners in the 201819 season.

Going 9-21 last season, the Roadrunners made it to the second round of Conference USA (C-USA) Women’s Basketball

This time around, UTSA has a lot to prove this season. The ‘Runners are bound to make a step in the right direction this year. There are some players to look forward to watching as the season-opener is right around the corner.

After losing key players in 1,000 points club member Crystal Chidomere, three-point specialist Carlie Heineman and defensive force Billie Marlow are some players who are hungry to step up and fill the shoes that were there before them. Returning players, transfers and freshmen are looking to make a splash in the regular season and conference play as the hunt for college basketball playoffs

begins.

A player who has potential to have a phenomenal season is forward Marie Benson.

The Waco native produced 11 double-doubles in 2017-18.

Last season, she led her team in three-point field goal percentage, free throws made, rebound average, defensive and offensive rebounds and steals. Going into her junior season, she is already ranked 36 in UTSA history for career points. Adding to an already killer jump shot, Benson will be a leader for the Roadrunners the remainder of her time with UTSA. Forward Tija Hawkins ranked 11th in offensive rebounds for C-USA last season. She added 20 blocks on the season along with 17 steals. The junior from

Killeen is going to make a big jump this season as her minutes will increase.

In their exhibition match against Sul Ross State, UTSA dominated 84-41. Benson put up a double-double while Hawkins put up 10 points and six assists.

In the third quarter, the Roadrunners only gave up one point to the Lobos off a free throw. The team shot 50.9 percent from the field on Friday — a great way to begin the season ahead.

The players will be set up to shine this year, especially with head coach Kristen Holt officially having her first head coaching career season under her belt.

Going into her second season as the UTSA Roadrunner head coach, Kristen Holt will be looking to build off of a year

with many positives. After being promoted from associate head coach (2013-2017) to head coach last fall, she led the team to be ranked second in blocks in C-USA. On top of that, the team is third in C-USA in rebounding offense and offensive rebounds.

Last year, the ‘Runners went 6-10 in conference play. Going to the second round of the conference tournament last year,was something that has not been done since the 2013-14 season. As a leader who thrives with a defensive mindset, Holt will look to build off of the good they achieved this past season.

The Roadrunner’s first game of the regular season will tip-off Tuesday, Nov. 6, as UTSA faces Concordia University at home in the Convocation Center.

Athlete of the Week: Madison Kidd tournament. However, when it came time for her recruiting process, Kidd says the experience was nerve-racking.

“It just got into my head like oh no that coach is watching me,” Kidd said. “If I don’t play well, I’m not going to go anywhere. So, my scores at that time didn’t accurately represent my ability.”

However, even though Kidd was in a bit of slump, UTSA didn’t give up on her.

“UTSA always saw my ability and my potential,” Kidd said.

“Towards the end, it was either UTSA or nothing, so it was really easy to make my decision in the end.”

Now in her third year, Kidd has recently switched her major from kinesiology and is now studying biology to pursue her dream of becoming a dentist.

“I have always wanted to be a dentist,” Kidd said with a smile.

“Even from when I was itty-bitty, I would always say I wanted to grow up to be a dentist.”

Student athletes rarely get much free time, especially when their sport is in season like golf had been up until last week. So, when Kidd is not flushing iron shots and draining putts on the golf course, she enjoys taking time for herself and relaxing.

“Sleeping has definitely become a favorite hobby of mine,” Kidd said lightheartedly.

“But when I can, [I] love to read, watch Netflix or hangout with friends. Just anything that can get me relaxed.”

Kidd also really enjoys listening to different types of music and says her tastes change depending on what she’s doing.

“If I’m walking to class, I like to listen to rap because it makes

Ever since she arrived on the scene in 2016, UTSA golfer Madison Kidd has been a key contributor and member of the UTSA women’s golf team. Kidd has played in 26 events during her time here and has earned herself two top-10 finishers. The UTSA women’s golf team won the conference championship at the end of last season.

Although Julie Houston and Ana Gonzalez stole the show with their performances, Kidd turned in rounds of 75, 78 and 75 to tie for 25th place out of 60, and added to the team’s solid performance. Golf is a game of patience, skill, strategy and mental strength.

The players must not only calculate and think out every shot, they also must execute it. Golf is a difficult sport to master, but luckily for Kidd, she’s been playing since she was five-years-old.

Even though Kidd started playing golf at a young age, she has played many other sports as well.

“When I was growing up, I played team sports like soccer and softball, but I just fell in love with golf being an individual game,” Kidd said. “If I win then I won, and if I lose then I can’t blame anybody else. It’s all on me.”

Kidd grew up in the town of Lake Jackson, Texas where she attended Brazoswood High School. While there, Kidd was a three-time district champion, three-time state qualifier and even placed fourth one year at the state

me feel all big and bad,” Kidd said. “But I really like any type of music that doesn’t scream at me.”

Kidd takes an interest in other sports aside from golf and likes to watch football, but especially baseball. “I love to watch baseball,” Kidd said. “The Astros didn’t get to go to the World Series this year, but they’re still winners in my heart.”

Kidd says she isn’t slated to graduate until 2020, so she still has plenty of her college golfing career left. Having gone through two years at UTSA, her favorite part about competing for the Roadrunners has been her relationship with her teammates.

“Our team dynamic is that we’re a family and we always support each other,” Kidd said.

“Even if one of us has a bad day we know we’re each trying our best and that’s all we can ask of each other.”

Golf has been a big part of Kidd’s life since she first picked up a club at the age of five and it still continues to shape her life in many different ways.

“Golf has taught me that there’s some things in life that you just can’t control,” Kidd said. “Like if I hit a shot that I think is perfect and it bounces off a tree root and goes out of bounds, I can’t control that. Just like in life, there’s only so many things that you can control.”

With the fall leg of their schedule completed, Kidd and the rest of the UTSA women’s golf team will begin preparing for the spring of 2019. They’ll open their spring slate of tournaments at the Texas State Invitational in early February.
