This year, the Saakumu Dance Troupe from Ghana will be the musical guest, playing the lively African beat. “I went to last year’s Back to My Roots performance, and it was a truly different experience,” sophomore Brittni Villarreal said. “It is great to see the different culture and celebrate it.” Mannah said that planning begins in the fall semester for the Back to My Roots event. The groups want to make sure that everything is ready to go come the spring semester, when the actual event takes place. “We brainstorm ideas and look at what is going on in the economy so we can have a theme that people will be able to relate to,” he said. “Sometimes we don’t always base it on an event going on.” Mannah said everyone is welcome to enjoy the event and experience more of the African culture. “We are bringing a new twist this year,” he said. “But we are also incorporating the older twists to make it more relevant.” Mannah said having students come and interact is fun, and it gives ASA the chance to share their culture with everyone. Back to My Roots VI will begin at 7 p.m. in the C.J. Davidson Center. The event is free for ASU students, faculty, staff and the San Angelo community. Free refreshments will be served on a first-come, first-served basis.

Superhero Dash back for second year Race to promote healthy choices Mariah Trammel Contributor ASUFit has commenced its semiannual Fitness Challenge. One challenge involves participation in the Superhero Dash 5K on Feb. 22 at 9 a.m. in front of the UC. ASUFit is a program that was designed to help better the health of faculty, staff and students. Every semester, the program holds a Fitness Challenge in which teams compete to see who averages out the most points. The top three winners receive prizes. The points are won by completing an array of tasks that are categorized by hydration, nutrition, educa-
tion, endurance, running/ walking activities, strength activities, medical checkups and positive thinking. “The fitness challenge is a multifaceted way of getting people to make healthier choices,” program coordinator Katherine Garrison said. “This one specifically is geared toward making small changes in your life.” These small changes can be flossing your teeth every day for a week and not drinking alcohol for a week. “We promote healthy eating and education about health topics,” Garrison said. “We set up a variety of special events on campus like cyclocross, off-road cycling events and things like that.” More challenging tasks available for completion are doing yoga and running/ walking in a local road race, such as the Superhero Dash.

5K to bring out the hero in all participants cont. from pg. 1
The Superhero Dash includes a 5k and a 1.5 mile Fun Run. Participants are encouraged to dress up as superheroes. The person with the best costume will win a prize. The proceeds will go to AMBUCS, a non-profit organization. AMBUCS creates therapeutic tricycles called AmTrykes that are designed specifically for disabled people. “It’s one of the most fun races I’ve ran in,” junior Parris Heath-Williams said. “I was Superwoman last year, and it was just very inspiring to see some of the kids on
AmTrykes participating as well.” The registration deadline has passed to sign up for the Fitness Challenge, but there is still an opportunity to sign up for the Superhero Dash. Senior Morgan Halfmann said when she took part in the Fitness Challenge last year, it allowed her to gain habits that she continues to practice today. Halfmann said the challenge made her more diligent about eating right and exercising. “We lost the competition, but I felt good about the things I accomplished. I think that’s more important anyway,” Halfmann said.
Annual rodeo bucks out of chute Adriana Ibarra Staff Writer The San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo has started again with daily performances and large crowds flocking in every weekend, and ASU’s Agriculture department is highly involved in the three-week long event. “As a department, we work very closely with the rodeo because we benefit by having the opportunity to make contact with others working in agriculture, and stu-
dents benefit by volunteering and getting more experience,” Department of Agriculture Chair Micheal Salisbury said. During these next two weeks, the agriculture department will have an opportunity to make contact with numerous potential students, he said. “For our department, the rodeo works as a recruiting tool and as a way for our current students to get some real-life practice in their chosen fields of study,” he said. The student volunteers really learn how to work together, Office Coordinator Annette Roberts said. “Everybody is helping everybody else,” she said. “A good thing for the students to learn is to be
prepared, but to also be prepared to help someone else.” The rodeo has a variety of shows for people to enjoy, one of them being the Ag Mechanics show, she said. “In the Ag Mechanics show, participants build anything and everything, from spurs to tables and chairs,” Roberts said. Students also help in the rodeo by guiding multiple tours throughout the day for anyone interested in touring a farm, Salisbury said. “Being at the rodeo gives people a chance to do things that they couldn’t do anywhere else in San Angelo,” Roberts said. “The participants work very hard for the rodeo, and their work should be noticed.”
UCPC brings comedian to Club Café Bozeman to bring lighter side of college Adriana Ibarra Staff Writer ASU’s UCPC will host a Club Café Feb. 26, featuring comedian Kevin Bozeman, who has been featured on Comedy Central and won the HBO “Comedy Competition” in 2000. Bozeman has performed at over 200 college campuses and has headlined top comedy clubs across the country. “Kevin Bozeman’s performance will bring a lot of laughs, and students are sure to have a good time,”

UCPC Daytime Co-Chair Sabrina Torres said. “Bozeman presents his material in a very relatable fashion,” Club Café Chairperson Josh Trujillo said. “He cuts no corners when it comes to sharing his own perspective of life.” “Kevin Bozeman is a unique comedian because he understands what it means to be a college student and the obstacles we are consciously and unconsciously challenged to overcome on a daily basis,” he said. UCPC attends conferences during the year where they watch different performers, decide which of them would be popular on campus, and hire them to perform at the university, Vice President of Recruitment and Retention Bailey Grey said. “We submit the names of the performers we most enjoyed to Sam Mendoza, who then fills out the paperwork necessary to book that performer,” Trujillo said. Kevin Bozeman will bring a refreshingly original sense of comedic value to the students and faculty of ASU, as well as to the general public, with his quirky, unique and very relatable material, he said. “This event is sure to be entertaining for students and will bring them together to have a good time and relax,” Torres said. Trujillo said he hopes Bozeman will encourage students to take the college lifestyle a little easier and learn to notice and appreciate the little things that make ASU and this lifestyle unique. The event will be held in the C.J. Davidson Conference Center at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for students are $2, and general admission is $5.

Students reflect on accomplishments Rio Velasquez Contributor The Multicultural Center will host this year’s Black History Month Celebration, which will focus on the national theme “Civil Rights in America,” on Wednesday, Feb. 26. The event, which is free to all ASU students and the community, will offer food, artwork and information about civil rights. The event will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the UC lobby. The Multicultural Center will display current students’ artwork and play videos throughout the event. Students will have the opportunity to learn about monumental civil rights events that have shaped African-American history and culture. “We have to appreciate every race that is a part of the United States,” freshman Christian Garcia said. “We are a very diverse country. The student body needs to really recognize historical events. Every race has a voice and they need to see that.” Many ASU students view Black History Month as an important time to reflect on the accomplishments and struggles throughout history. “It’s important because African-Americans are one of the minority races here,” junior Raeven Sharp said. “It’s important for other students to learn about our culture, our past and how we got here.” This will be the second cultural event the Multicultural Center has had this spring semester, and the seventh event for the academic year. The Multicultural Center goes off a national calendar when deciding which culture to showcase. They have celebrated events such as Native-American History, Disability Awareness and LGBT Pride. “I think it’s important to educate people and let people experience different cultures,” sophomore Zachary Miranda said. “Cultural events actually give students a slight insight or perspective of what cultures are like,” Multicultural Center program specialist Robert Garcia said. “Not everyone is the same. Cultural events allow students to gain more of an understanding of why certain cultures, ethnicities or races portray themselves the way they do.” Even though the event revolves around Black History Month, the Multicultural Center wants to address that different minorities also face issues with civil rights. “I think the main point is that it is not just civil rights pertaining to race, ethnicity or even just black history,” Garcia said. “It goes beyond that. There are still issues today in which we are still traveling that path to gain civil rights, such as the LGBT community, female equality, and those with different citizenship status.”

Student Loan profits: Where are they really going? Student loans are making headlines once again, and this time the news is only getting worse. According to USA Today, student loans are continuing to give profits to the federal government. In 2013 alone, the profits reached $41.3 billion. Loans are the impending doom that all students, and all parents, dread when they think about college. Student loans are becoming more common for students, and because of this, students are experiencing serious debt issues. In the summer of 2013, a law was enacted that would tie interest rates to the cost of federal government’s borrowing, according to USA Today. This was expected to lower student loan rates but it wouldn’t push profits away. The fact that the government is making money off of us students, instead of putting money into our education, is why this nation is starting to fall. Our government is supposed to serve the people, but that can’t be true if the federal government is indeed profiting off of student loans. If the administration is not making money off of students’ financial hardships, it needs to state very clearly and specifically where this money is going, instead of attributing the supposed profits to “account measures.” That’s neither comforting nor convincing. As previously stated, loans are becoming more common and they are needed for students to make it through college. Unfortunately, fewer and fewer people are going to college because they can’t afford to pay it now or throughout their lifetime. In 2012 it was reported that the average college graduate owes $29,400 from student loans. That is a tre-

mendous amount of money, and it is not easy to pay off. It takes a very long time. These days, it is essential to go to college and get a degree. Jobs are becoming harder to find and jobs in a particular field of study are more competitive. Because having an education is so important these days, it gives people an uneasy feeling knowing they will have to pay back loans that were greater than what was taken out. Scholarships are a great alternative to loans but the problem is that not everyone can receive one; it is a dime a dozen. Fortunately, ASU has made tuition very inexpensive compared to bigger schools like Texas A&M or University of Texas. It can be even more expensive for someone who is going to school out of state. Think about all the different costs a student has. Not only do they have to pay tuition, but there is room and board, textbooks, meal plans or maybe apartment rent. Some students try to save money by paying for school themselves or applying for financial aid, but as many of us know, financial aid doesn’t always pay for enough or give a large sum of money. Should students have to have another worry on their plates? Is it fair for the government to do this to the future America? Whether it’s fair or not, it is happening before our own eyes, and it is not the way the situation should be handled. Loans can be very helpful because of the large sum of money that a student can receive. But is it really beneficial at the expense of having to pay back three times as much

due to interest rates? As students, we understand the hardships, or money in general, can have on a student. Think before you click. Is that loan going to be a good idea for you 25 years from now?
Adam Sauceda Managing Editor I once spoke of a man here in San Angelo whose cooking reminded me of my dad’s. If Kenny Blanek’s reminded me of my dad’s home cooking, then Aunt Maggie’s reminds me of my grandmother’s. The first time I went to this establishment was last summer with a co-worker of mine. We were greeted promptly and sat in a corner booth of the relatively small place. I scanned the menu as our waiter brought out chips and salsa.
That was no surprise. I can’t think of any Mexican restaurant that doesn’t do that. What did surprise me, however, was when our waiter brought out a small bowl of that day’s lunch special. Mmmm, pork guiso. It was delicious, and even better that our waiter had wanted us to try it to see if we would like it or not. My co-worker had the guiso but I went with two barbacoa burritos, and let me tell you, my mouth is watering thinking about them again! Another big surprise was that their tortillas were genuinely homemade. Not like

those mainstream joints that buy their tortillas and cater to... well, not Hispanics... The service was great. Their food was great. Their prices were well worth it. In fact, the most expensive thing I bought were three dozen, that’s right, three dozen, homemade tortillas for my roommate and I to stuff with whatever we could and slap on the George Foreman grill. This place is a little tricky to find on 1601 S Hill St, but print out a Google map, study it, and head on over to Aunt Maggie’s Kitchen if you enjoy good, genuine Mexican food and service.

After a five-game series in Canyon, the ‘Belles lost their last game Sunday, Feb. 16, to Metropolitan State (12-7). The ‘Belles were at the Woodward WT Invitational and over the course of the weekend, they won the first four games. “We are a little bit disappointed to be at 9-5,” Head Coach Travis Scott said. “We feel like we are really close to putting it together as a team. We swung the bat extremely well last weekend, but we didn’t swing well the week before. It’s all about making sure we have the right mindset.” In the game against Metro State, the ‘Belles had a season-high of 15 hits but left nine runners on base. Senior and pitcher Sandra Serna allowed the Roadrunners to hit two home runs and score three runs during the first inning. “The team chemistry has definitely gotten a lot better,” sophomore Darian Dunn said. “I think our tournament this past weekend really

showed how close we are.” Junior Micherie Koria said she wants to work on her hitting before their double-header Saturday against Texas-Permian Basin at Mayer Field. “Coach said the other day that I was up there, but I want to keep it up for my team,” Koria said. Scott said the girls will be working on basic skills and then they will be put into pressure situations, which will help the team work on their mental focus. “Giving these situations gives the girls the right mindset for future games,” he said. Dunn was recently named the Lone Star Conference Hitter of the Week after her performance at the Woodard West Texas Invitational. Dunn helped lead the team to their four wins with a .588 average and 16 RBIs. Dunn hit three home runs, including a grand slam against Colorado Mesa (third in her career). After the weekend, Dunn recorded 10 hits total. She also had eight runs and three doubles. Dunn currently leads the team in runs (18), home runs (6), RBIs (29), and slugging percentage (1.000). The ‘Belles’ first game will be at 1 p.m. and their second at 3:30 p.m.

‘Belles to play doubleheader at home
Loss against Midwestern motivates Rams Allison Price Editor The Rams fell to Midwestern State (78-68) on Wednesday while on the road. MSU came out with 81 percent free throws compared to 59 percent for ASU. Senior Kenny Williams, junior Tommy
Woolridge and sophomore Omari Gudul all led the team in points scored. Williams had 18 and Woolridge and Gudul had 10 each. As for shooting, ASU shot 44 percent in the game. In the first half of the game, both teams did not hold a high lead from each other. Junior Daniel Skinner tied the game in the second half of the game with back-to-back baskets. The Rams will face Cameron University Saturday for their last home game of the season at 4 p.m.

Rams to play home this weekend Team works to get momentum up for games Marsalis Mahome Photographer Last week the Rams battled closely but came up short in their three-game series versus Lubbock Christian University (LCU). After taking the first game 5-1, they had two very close matches. The game that followed went to a 10th inning, where LCU took the win. In the last match, LCU had a very convincing lead, but the Rams fought back from behind, only to lose 6-8. “When we got down in the game by more than two or three runs, we actually came out, didn’t get down, hit the ball, and got back into the game,” freshman John Zapata said. LCU put the first two losses on the Ram record, but still almost mid-
way through the season, the Rams are ranked 26th in the nation. With a fourgame home series ahead, the Rams look to take back momentum before heading back out on the road to San Antonio, Tuesday, Feb. 25 This weekend, with their first game on Friday, Feb. 21, at 3 p.m., the Rams will face the Colorado School of Mines Orediggers. The School of Mines is currently 2-1 with wins over Tarleton and Permian Basin. The Orediggers will be a team the Rams have never gone up against in school history. “I think it will be good for the home fans to attack, interact, and get into the other team’s head,” Zapata said. “I think we play good at home, or on the road, [so] it really doesn’t matter. No matter where we play, we’re going to go out there and play hard.” After their game on Friday, the Rams will play a doubleheader at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 22, and close out the weekend on Sunday, Feb. 23 at 1 p.m.
