Symposium winners to be Rams off to a perfect season start; recognized at ceremony Theme of contest was climate change Adam Washington Contributor ASU announced the winners of the annual University Symposium Student Contest on Jan. 30. The theme of the 2013 symposium centered on the topic of “Climate Change and American Values.” “As long as I have been in school, I’ve always heard about the greenhouse effect, but to actually recognize its effects here in Texas over the past couple of years, it’s hard for it not to resonate,” first place winner Stacey Mata said. Mata said she was inspired to enter the contest because she rec-
ognized the increasing effects of greenhouse gases. Dr. Michael E. Mann was the keynote speaker of the symposium, which was held last October. Mann is the Director of Earth System Science Center and Distinguished Professor of Meteorology at Pennsylvania State University. “Dr. Mann mentioned that if we continue business as usual, with the warming effect, we would inevitably be talking about and looking at a different planet,” Mata said. “If we were to stop fossil fuel-burning cold turkey, no one is saying we should, but we would see temperatures similar to pre-industrial time.” According to an ASU press release, Mata won a $300 prize for her digital print “Global Warming.” “Climate change isn’t based on models, it’s based on basic physics
and chemistry due to human activity,” Mata said. “So for my entry, I wanted to eliminate the facts and figures that coincide with a typical infographic poster about the greenhouse effect, and instead create a simple message that everyone could understand.” Second place winners Joey Hancock and Dianah McGreehan won $100 each; Hancock for his short film, “In Hot Water,” and McGreehan for her poem, “We Tune In to Tune Out.” “I was heavily motivated to enter by Mrs. Mangrum,” Hancock said. “She is always trying to get me to enter contests, and after I saw the global warming symposium, I was really surprised by how much government officials are against the idea of global warming.”

heading to Lubbock Rams work on all aspects of the game Ryan Everheart Contributor After this week’s performance, the Rams anticipate a good season. The Rams had a three-game sweep over Texas A&M International. ASU will put their skills to the test as they prepare to battle Lubbock Christian University, another tough team in their lineup, Feb. 14 through Feb. 16. In the upcoming games, the Rams are trying to eliminate mental and physical mistakes while they are also trying to execute the fundamentals of
baseball, infielder Tyler Coughenour said. Head Coach Kevin Brooks said he is pleased with the start of the season, but he would like to cut back on the amount of strikeouts. “The team is continuing to stay in routine despite of the cold weather while continuing to get better and better every game,” he said. The players also need work on stealing bases, strikeouts and just little things as time allots, Brooks said. “At practice we work on every aspect of the game,” Coughenour said.

team and her assistant coach is Michael Boenig. “The team as a whole has improved dramatically,” Weinheimer said. “There is room for improvement, but with this team’s high level of potential, I expect great things in the future from them.” Weinheimer attended undergraduate school at Texas A&M University where she also competed on A&M’s, Meat Judging Team. This is her first year to coach the ASU team. The Meat Judging competition is divided into two divisions. The A-Division had 47 students from nine universities and colleges participating.

Dancers present unique opportunity for artists Ballet and Museum collaborate on event Adam Sauceda Managing Editor The San Angelo Civic Ballet, along with the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts, will host a unique event on Thursday, Feb. 20, which will incorporate dance, art and live music. “Art in Motion,” which is free to the public, is the featured event of Downtown San Angelo’s Art Walk and will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. in the upstairs Gallery 3 at the museum. During the event, viewers and participants will have a chance to sketch, draw or paint their interpretation of ballet dancers in motion. “This is different [from typical ballet events] because we’re collaborating with the museum, trying to have a different art medium and making it more visual art-focused,” said Tanya Pfluger, executive director for the San Angelo Civic Ballet. “Participants who come will be able to watch what’s going on, snap a picture of the dancers
and draw them.” ASU art students under the instruction of Associate Professor of Art Ben Sum will be participating in the event. According to Sum, students do not get many opportunities to draw live models, whether in motion or stationary, and the opportunity is exactly what Pfluger wants to provide them. “We want to allow students who have never experienced live drawing in this type of atmosphere to do so,” Pfluger said. Secretary of Kappa Pi senior Lupita Moreno, said she is most excited about the dancers dancing while she draws them. “I initially was planning on just answering questions and helping set up art work,” Moreno said. “But I probably will draw because it has been a while since I’ve had the opportunity to draw live models. I look forward to having personal sketches of the dancers that I can use for paintings in the future.” The dancers are just one part of the event, however. “The second part of the event is an art exhibit, which will feature local artists’ paintings that we will be sell-
ing,” said Pfluger. The proceeds will benefit the San Angelo Civic Ballet and the San Angelo Performing Arts Center. “The exhibition has an educational component to it because all the paintings are based on historical dance art work so there is some art history there,” Sum said. The paintings will be on exhibit at the UCRA Water Education building located at 427 S Oakes St. and will be available for viewing from 6 to 8 p.m. “We would like for people to come see ballet at the museum who maybe have never been interested before but would like to see it in a different art form,” Pfluger said. “We are trying to produce something a little different for our community. We are trying to step outside the box a little bit.” “Art in Motion” is sure to bring lovers of all mediums of art together under one roof. “I used to dance and I feel like incorporating something that I loved doing and doing something now that I love is kind of the best of both worlds,” Moreno said.

Hancock said he wanted to show the audience that some people in power are willing to do anything to get rich. “I took a lot of things from the symposium; I even quoted it at points throughout the film,” Hancock said. “I wanted the audience to be entertained, but I also wanted them to take away the lesson that they should always strive to find their own answers and not just accept things at face value.”
Hancock said he hopes that his short film will shed some light on the idea that politicians are to the point of threatening scientists who try to investigate global warming. All entries for the symposium will be on display in the Carr Education-Fine Arts Building from Feb. 19 through Feb. 28. An awards ceremony honoring the winners and participants will be held on Feb. 27 from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the Gallery Room 193.

Carr Hall to open as housing option Carr Hall available for freshmen and upperclassmen Adriana Ibarra Staff Writer Carr Hall will become an additional on-campus housing option for students in Fall 2014. “The opening of Carr Hall is a response to some of the needs of ASU’s upperclassmen,” Assistant Director of Housing and Residential Programs Tracey Baker said. “We want the students to have more housing options that are both comfortable and affordable.” Carr Hall will be open to both freshmen and upperclassmen and can house up to 68 students, Director of Housing and Residential Programs Peter Rivera said. “The facility has been used as space for conferences and guest housing for Goodfellow Air Force Base and visitors to Angelo State University until now,” Rivera said. Carr Hall was used for other purposes because there was not a very high demand for it to be used by the students in the past, he said. “The newer facilities at ASU such as Plaza Verde need to be filled to capacity due to the high mortgage rate, so our priority has been to use our new facilities before the older ones are opened,” Rivera said. Junior Sarah Gore said the opening of Carr Hall is going to be very beneficial for students.
“I think it will be really convenient for a lot of art students because the building is close to where their classes are,” Gore said. The bathrooms were improved along with the camera systems, and there is a kitchen available in Carr Hall, Baker said. Having a kitchen available is an attractive feature to Carr Hall and a great option for students to cook their own meals or eat when they prefer to, she said. “I’m excited about being able to provide students with another option of living space on campus,” Baker said. “I think students are always looking for something that allows them to have a change but keeps them a part of the campus community,” Baker said. Due to the small amount of students that can live in Carr Hall, the dorm community will be an intimate one with students being close friends and interacting with each other on a daily basis, Rivera said. Carr Hall is available for new and renewing students who have paid their housing renewal fee. A very limited amount of private rooms will be offered beginning March 7 to March 17, Baker said. The application fee is $100 up to March 1, and then it rises to $200. “Students will be able to choose their rooms during the open room lottery,” Baker said. “It is great that students will be able to use Carr Hall again,” Rivera said. “It has a lot of history and character.
Last team competition in Houston cont. from pg. 1
The alternates compete in the alternates’ division of the contest. The alternates judge the same classes as the general contest. The classes for a standard contest are Beef Carcasses (two classes), Beef Cuts (two classes), Pork Carcasses (two classes), Fresh Pork Cuts (two classes), Lamb (two classes), Beef Carcass Quality Grading, Beef Yield Grading, and Specifications. The team left for Fort Worth on Jan. 28 and arrived back home on Feb. 3. “There is still room for improvement, but with this team’s determination and wit, great things are still to come,” Boenig said. The last competition of the season will be in Houston, Texas, at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Intercollegiate Meat and Judging contest on March 8, 2014.

Valentine’s Day can beneifical to all types of people
Allison Price Editor
Adriana Ibarra Staff Writer
It’s that time of the year again when Walmart is full of hearts, plush toys and candy. The television commercials all talk about buying your special someone a diamond necklace or a new tool set to show him or her how much you care. But, does that really show your true feelings? Your single friends are probably a bit bitter and being downers, but they have their reasons. The people in long distance are feeling either a bit down themselves or ecstatic about their boyfriend or girlfriend coming to visit them. A lot of guys in general are feeling the pressure in making Valentine’s Day as special and romantic as possible for their ladies, and we can imagine why. Society and clever marketing strategies tend to make Valentine’s a lot about spending money rather than showing someone how special you think he or she are. There isn’t anything wrong with wanting to buy your special someone a gift or going all out on Valentine’s Day. If you have the funds and just feel like spoil-
How do you plan to spend your Valentine’s Day?
ing your significant other, then do it. Pinterest is a great place to start if you are the creative type and want to make your special someone a gift. Pinterest has several cute and crafty ideas for the true crafter. Even if crafting is not your thing, there are easy D-I-Y projects that can be made in a short amount of time. (Perfect for the last minute gifter.) Be a bit creative on where you take your date this year. If the weather permits, take him or her for a nice walk. The San Angelo Art Museum, downton, is a nice place or you could do some nice homemade cooking at your place. Even though it might be nice to go out, remember that other people are going to have that same idea. Try a night inside and it will definitely be more intimate and personal between you and your loved one. Another tip is to put in some effort and make this year more personal. Valentine’s Day is a way to express love for one another. It might not take much, to impress the other. If you’re a new couple, then try not to take things too seriously. It’s only the first or second Valentine’s Day. Buy your loved one a little card, but maybe for that night just order some good food and watch a movie you both enjoy together. This relates back to a personal and intimate setting. You don’t have a crowd around you and 100 different conversations going on around you. For those of you in long-distance relationships this Valentine’s Day, you can have as special a day as those other couples who aren’t miles away from each other. Sit down and order some food, dress up nice and have a Skype dinner with your special someone. This is a great idea because you are able to celebrate the holiday instead of sitting at home and being lonely.

Talk about all the things you two have been through and appreciate the time you both set aside just for each other. Also, appreicate that you are still able to see each other. There might be long-distance couples who are not able to Skype or see their loved one. To those of you who are single this year, take advantage of the fact that you don’t have to go out and spend money on anyone this Valentine’s Day but yourself. Be your own “loved one.” Even though this is Valentine’s Day and it is typical to shower the other person, don’t be shy to shower yourself. You don’t have to buy a dozen roses and have them delieverd but you can just take the day to love yourself. The money you don’t spend on a fancy dinner can be spent buying all of the chocolates that will be on sale at Walmart the day afterward. Sometimes, that is the best part of Valentine’s Day, whether you are in a relationship or not. That giant bear you wanted is now at least half off and within your price range. It would make a nice cuddle buddy. If you’re a guy you can spend the day playing video games and staying in your most comfortable clothes because you don’t have to dress up for anyone. There are plenty of ideas and tips for all of those married, in relationships or single. Valentine’s Day shouldn’t be centered on only the couples. It benefits everyone. If you take some of these ideas and apply them to your day then you are going to be just fine. Do what you are comfortable with but don’t forget what the day is really for. Whatever you choose to do this Valentine’s Day have a great time and spend it with the people you care. about.
Adam Sauceda Managing Editor Three Parrots Taco Shop is not quite what I expected. I walked in thinking I would be surrounded by the typical sombrero and donkey decorations, but instead was greeted by a freaky tiki statuette. The place was decorated from floor to ceiling in vibrant island decor. After my eyes adjusted, I made my way to the cashier’s counter where I was promptly greeted by a friendly girl and a huge surf board with their menu on it.
I was not feeling extremely brave so I played it safe with an enchilada plate and two extra tacos. The price was higher than I thought, but since their margaritas are $3.25 on Wednesdays, I decided to try one of those too. The food did not take very long at all with one of the servers yelling my name over the loud chitter-chatter of the rest of the diners talking over their meal. Once again, the food was not exactly what I expected. Not that it is a bad thing though. It just is not your traditional Mexican food. I’ll have to ask, one of these

days, where exactly their food is from or inspired by. With all the tropical decorations and tikis (which actually grew on me quite quickly), maybe they are going for some Caribbean style or something. I don’t know, but I did enjoy the variations of my old favorites. The tacos and the refried beans mixed with the free queso and chips I received (thanks to Three Parrots ad which can be found in the Ram Page) were my favorite parts of the meal. Three Parrots is a different flavor, and I look forward to trying the rest of their menu in the future. Bon Appétit!!

Rams get back on the road After loss against Tarleton, Rams look for wins while traveling Allison Price Editor Tarleton State upset the Rams by coming in and winning (72-64). The game was part of “White Out Wednesday,” and 3,000 fans were in attendance to cheer on the team. The Rams were only able to shoot 35.8 percent in the game. By halftime, Tarleton was leading by two points (30-28). Senior Kenny Williams had his conference-leading ninth double-double of the season with 14 points and 12 rebounds for the team. Williams also contributed with two blocked shots and two steals in the game. Senior Bryan Hammond led the Rams with 21 points and senior Chris Talkington added 11 points and seven rebounds. This game marks the third that Hammond has had 20-point performances in the past four games. If you have yet to attend a Rams basketball game, then you might not know about Williams and his dunk ability. The 6-foot-7 forward/guard is a part of the 2014 “State Farm Dark Horse Dunker” competition. Williams has been identified as one of the top 16 “under-the-radar” dunkers in the nation. He is currently competing in the online contest, which began Monday, Feb. 10. Fans are able to vote for their favorite players on Facebook.com/CollegeSlam. Fans can vote every day and the first round of voting ends Monday, Feb. 24. If William’s were to win and advance, he will compete at the College Slam Dunk and 3-point Championships on April 3 during the NCAA Final Four festivities in Dallas, which airs on ESPN. Be sure to take a minute or two to vote for Kenny Williams on Facebook so his dunking can be exposed to everyone. As for the Rams, they head to Commerce Saturday, Feb. 15 to battle Texas A&M University-Commerce at 4 p.m. The Rams will stay on the road and take on Midwestern State at 7:30 p.m. in Wichita Falls.

Baseball to show off their hard work in Lubbock cont. from pg. 1
“Base running, defense, hitting and pitching are just some of the things we are working on. We will also set up game-like scenarios to work on situations that might come up during games.” The Rams not only practice their defensive plays, but also work on their offensive plays so they can continue to get better. “We work on our bunt plays, defensive plays, throwing strikes and situational hitting to prepare us to execute in the games,” pitcher Jake Feckley said. Brooks said he is pleased with how they are playing and how they are competing. “I think the guys are putting forth great effort,” Brooks said. “They are doing a lot of good things.” The Rams are now counting down the days until the Lone Star Conference tournament, which begins on May 8. “Each game is really important and every game counts the same,” Brooks said.
Brooks said that the roles are really undefined on who is getting a lot of playing time. He is hopeful that some players will “step up to the plate” and that certain players will fill shoes to get a better idea of what is ahead for this team. “It’s difficult as a coach because he is not sure which players will be playing and which are not,” he said. Coughenour has already started a successful season with a .526 batting average. “We still have a lot of aspects of our game that we can get better at,” Coughenour said. “I think our team plays well together as a unit and that we need to stay committed as individuals to improve ourselves daily,” Feckley said. “I hope that in future games we continue to win and keep the perfect streak going.” The Rams will start their first game against Lubbock Christian on Friday, Feb. 14, and finish up their set of games in Lubbock on Saturday, Feb. 16.

Softball Update Without even looking at the ‘Belles softball team’s record, if you were to just watch them play, you’d say, “Wow this is a great team,” and they are just that. Even if their record is just 5-4, they’re now on a two-game winning streak against Texas A&M International University. The ‘Belles have lost by a total of just six points in all of their games combined. This weekend, Feb. 14 through Feb. 16 the Belles will be in Canyon. They’ll play games against Colorado Mesa, Adams State, Colorado State, Fort Lewis College, and Metropolitan State.
