PLAYIN’ ON NEW TURF The school year kicks off with new turf for intermural fields Lela Howard Staff Writer

Flag Football teams were the first to break in the new turf fields on Monday, Sept. 8 across Jackson Street from the Junell Center. The complex is home of three new 7-on7 flag football fields, four 4-on-4 flag football fields, two softball fields, two soccer fields and a rugby field. The project cost $1.8 million and was provided by the Revenue Finance System. The debt will be refunded over the course of seven years by the Outdoor Facility Conservation Fee that ASU students pay each semester. “Without being able to water, there was just no way we could maintain the grass fields to the standards our students expect and deserve,” President Brian J. May Ph.D. said. “Thousands of our students participate in intermurals every semester, and we want them to have the best possible experience,” said May. “Everyone is excited about the new fields.” The intermural program at ASU was nationally acknowledged by The Princeton Review. A flag football team named “IM Legends” has won four national championships in the past five years. Intermural basketball teams also regularly compete in regional and national tournaments. “Extracurricular activities like intermurals are an important component in students’ overall college experience,” Dr. Javier Flores, vice president for student affairs and enrollment management, said. “The new complex enhances what was already a strong program at ASU and will definitely be another aspect of our campus that will help recruit and retain students in the years to come.” Flag football games will be played on the fields from 7pm to midnight Monday through Thursday and from 8-11p.m. on Sundays this semester. Kickball and soccer teams will start using
the new turf in late October through November. Softball and rugby teams will play at the complex next spring. All ASU students can sign up for intermurals for free if a team member attends the registration meeting. If a player misses the meeting, the team has to pay $30 before 5 p.m. on the day after the registration meeting to be in the league. Meetings take place at the CHP in room 203. Flyers will be posted around campus at least two weeks before the meeting for each sport. The UREC is always looking for student officials and score keepers for each event. There will be training sessions for referees before each of the team sports begins.

Alexander Bryant, senior, got the opportunity of a lifetime in April when he earned an internship with television shows ‘Entertainment Tonight’ and ‘The Insider’ that would air
over the summer. “It all originated from when I applied for the internship program at the beginning of the 2014 spring semester,” Bryant said. “I was unexpectedly surprised, honored, and had deep gratitude to receive a phone call from the human resources department of CBS Television Distribution in offering me an internship position.” The internship was a part of his upper level graphic design internship course that is required for the Department of

Fraternity willing and ready to help community
Kappa Sigma is a new fraternity at ASU that is willing and ready to help out the San Angelo community. This fraternity is founded on the bases of fellowship and service to the community while in the process of “bettering yourself as a man,” Bolton Morales, Kappa Sigma President, said. The founding of this fraternity is based on the concept of brotherhood and the strengthening of gentlemen character. After graduating from college, members of Kappa Sigma have accounted for numerous business dealings and have had lifelong friendships, Robert Causer, alumni of Kappa Sigma, said. One of the most important concepts enforced in Kappa Sigma is serving the community by providing assistance to local organizations and businesses. Currently this year Kappa Sigma has raised $400 for the Relay for Life fundraiser which is a part of the American Cancer Society. As a fraternity, they managed to walk a total of 76 laps in support of cancer, Morales said. They plan to take part in San Angelo’s very own Cheyenne’s Rally at the end of the
Cameron Niblock Staff Writer
month, which is a fundraiser in support of Children’s Miracle Network Miracle Kid Cheyenne Fiveash, who passed away from cancer in 2004. This being Kappa Sigma’s first year on campus they want to “get their foot in the door” by recruiting students who are prepared “to make the campus better” Morales, said. Nationwide, Kappa Sigma has 318 factions established with 250,000 alumni, and 19,000 of those alumni currently live in Texas. Over the summer the fraternity attended a leadership conference in Louisiana where they were proud to find out that Kappa Sigma had raised 2.2 million dollars in support of countless organizations across the nation. This brings about the ideology that Kappa Sigma is ready to help out wherever they can, and they are in support of the question of “why can’t we get more done?” Morales said. With Kappa Sigma already putting forth a lot of effort this early in the year, it will be exciting to see what other improvement they will make in the future.

Jodey Arrington visits LeGrand Center Arrington tells San Angelo his plans for Texas Senate Jodey Arrington led a rally on Wednesday, Sept. 3 at the LeGrand Alumni Center in San Angelo to share what his plans are if citizen’s votes take him to the Texas Senate. Arrington said he is first and foremost that his number one value is the safety and security of citizens, pertaining to securing the state border. Secondly, he feels passionate about Texas’ future water needs. “It is the life of the economy. We cannot have Austin manage our water decisions. That’s the decision best left for local control,” said Arrington. Lastly, he wants to improve Texas’ public and higher education. During his speech, Arrington mentioned the tragedy of Nov.11, 2001 and how former President George W. Bush stood on Ground Zero with a bull horn and talked to everyone around reassuring them. Bush said, “As long as I’m the commander in chief, I will do everything in my power to keep you

safe.” “That was a promise made and that was a promise kept,” Arrington said. Arrington then asked the audience to look at the “stark contrast in leadership today in our country.” He went on to explain the border control situation and how President Obama came to Texas, attended a fundraiser, and went back to Washington D.C. Other goals Arrington is focusing on are to keep taxes low, create more jobs, protect private property and agriculture, defend the second amendment and pro-life values, and to fight for state’s rights and against Obamacare. He was President George W. Bush’s Senior Advisor and helped him form his leadership team in crucial areas such as agriculture, water and energy. In the past four years, Arrington has served as the Vice Chancellor for Texas Tech University, where he graduated with a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree. He played a major role in the system’s record growth
and was an influential member in creating jobs and millions of dollars in west Texas while he was Chair of the Enrollment Task force. Arrington grew up in and graduated from Plainview High School. He now lives in Lubbock with his wife and two kids and a third on the way. He is also the President of a regional healthcare technology company. Karen Hughes headlined alongside Arrington and was also an Advisor to George W. Bush and a former Executive Director of the Republican Party of Texas. The Dallas Morning News called her “the most powerful woman ever to serve in the White House” and ABC News named her Bush’s “most essential advisor.” As he was concluding, Arrington said, “God has blessed me and west Texas and I want to be a blessing to district 28.”
‘Does God Exist?’ Alpha Omega’s guest speaker backs opinion with scripture First year student organization Alpha Omega hosted a meeting discussing the topic ‘Does God Exist?’ This week’s talk was presented by Dr. Jeff Miller, author of the book “Science vs. Evolution.” He started by discussing how science is instituted by God and pointed out the Bible verses Genesis 1:28, Psalm 111:2 and Romans 1:20. He mentioned a quote by Fred Hoyle: “be suspicious of a theory if more and more hypotheses are needed to support it as new facts become available” and Paul Ricci’s Teleological Argument, “It’s true that everything designed has a designer.” Miller then based his argument on the question “Does the universe contain characteristics of design?” Using his extensive knowledge on the thermoregulatory system, he explained heat transfer and how humans would die from an external five degree temperature change if their bodies didn’t shiver or sweat. He explained that, “someone consciously made that decision” and asked the audience, “how could that have accidentally happened?” and “how could Darwinian evolution evolve in time to prevent death?” “I appreciate that someone made the effort to create the organization and I think I’ll go back to the next meetings,” Jordan Gray, senior, said.
Lela Howard Staff Writer
Senior and Vice President Abby Hall said that they look for speakers with good qualifications and Ph.D.’s. Alpha Omega wants to present objective evidence and have students analyze it for themselves. The purpose of the new organization is to prepare students with information that will help them properly defend what God and the Bible say. This semester’s meetings will focus on the foundational aspects of Christianity. Alpha Omega will host social events and service projects twice a month. They are planning to go on fall and spring retreats to HEB camp near Leaky, TX, a winter ski trip to New Mexico, Christmas caroling for the elderly, a Spring Break mission trip, bowling, movies, game nights, and tubing and water skiing at the lake. Alpha Omega meets every Thursday night in the UC in room 203 at 7pm.

New Program comes to ASU The U.S. Department of Education gave ASU a five year $2.87 million grant to back the installation of a newly proposed civil engineering program as stated in ASU’s official press release Aug. 29. “Last spring, the Texas Tech Board of Regents approved ASU’s request to seek authority from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to offer a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering beginning Fall 2015,” ASU Dean of Arts and Sciences, Paul Swets, said. “We have now requested this authority from them and we are optimistic that we will receive their approval.” The grant was awarded from the U.S. Department of Education’s Hispanic
Serving Institutions program for a united project between Southwest Junior College in Uvalde and ASU. The project will be called Strengthening the Engineering Pipeline in West Texas, or better known as STEP West Texas. Funds from the grant will be used to hire faculty members and add a base for the program in the hopes that it gets its’ final approval. “Civil engineering is in high demand, both from students and prospective students, and from employers,” Swets said. “The addition of civil engineering will bring many strong students to ASU who would otherwise not consider it.” Similar to ASU’s new Bachelor of
Science in Civil Engineering degree that was approved in May by the Texas Tech University System, the newly proposed engineering program awaits approval from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. “Receiving this grant for our proposed new civil engineering program is definitely a step in the right direction,” President Brian J. May Ph.D., said. “Right now, we are focused on gaining final approval for the program by Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and Southern Association of Colleges and School so we can move forward with what will be an exciting addition to our
Erika Walker Staff Writer
academic offerings.” Along with the engineering program’s approval, ASU also received an anonymous $4.5 million donation to help with the construction of a new facility to host new labs for the proposed civil engineering program. “Because we do not currently have engineering or engineering faculty on campus, it has fallen to the Provost’s Office and, to some degree, to the college, to pursue the structure and the necessary approvals for the new program,” Swets said. The ground is expected to be broken for the new lab next summer after the approval.

Find cheap meals around campus Various campus ministries offer affordable lunches to students For Protestants, Catholics or just hungry individuals, there are a number of ministries that reach out to Angelo State students throughout the semester offering organized events such as free to inexpensive meals and religious services. One place to get a free meal is Wesley Campus Ministries, which focuses on students from ASU, Howard and even Texas College of Cosmetology. Their primary service involves a free meal on Monday evenings at 6:00 p.m. followed by a Biblically based discussion starting at 6:30 p.m. that extends for nearly an hour. In addition, Wesley also provides lunch for students on Thursdays from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Lori Jones, campus minister, has explained that they want the students to feel that “they can come in anytime” and she described the setting as “an informal, home away from home.” Wesley is currently in its first year of providing such services as it has helped nearly thirty students weekly and is located near the ASU dormitory Centennial Village. Another campus ministry, Baptist Student Ministry, holds a free lunch as well on Wednesday’s at noon and is located within walking distance from campus at 1906 Johnson Ave. Anywhere from sixty to seventy students participate in the lunch together at the BSM followed by a brief Biblical exhortation. Other activities offered by BSM for

students are small groups on Tuesday nights, located around campus at various locations, in which students are given an opportunity to connect with others more personably. Similar to the other ministries, the Newman Center, a nationally organized ministry, offers those inclined to Catholicism many services as well. Located across the street from the Cavness Science Building, the Newman Center offers quality home-style food for a reasonable price of two dollars every Monday and Wednesday following a thirty-minuet mass, and Friday at noon. Ben Coyle, former three year student president of the Newman Center, remains actively involved citing the numerous activities that one can participate in with the Newman Center from bingo with the elderly, working alongside the Boys & Girls Club coming up in October, to even traveling to Austin to advocate for social justice. Coyle said that the Newman Center is typically open from 9 am to 3 pm daily for almost any student convenience. “We have Wi-Fi so students can come and study, or just relax and play games if they’d like,” Coyle said. The Newman Center has hosted between forty and sixty students weekly and will be celebrating its fiftieth anniversary at ASU this coming April.

Every student’s dream; a short week every week
Sydney Wegner Editor Last Monday, Sept. 1, was the first holiday of the new school year—Labor Day. Even though it was only the second week of school, I discovered that I really needed that three day weekend. Then this week I got to thinking how much I would appreciate another short week. I have one class that doesn’t meet on Fridays—and I love it. It would be nice to have classes only Monday, Wednesday and Tuesday, Thursday and just cut out Friday classes altogether. If this
were to happen then I’m sure more students would put more effort into their classes. By Friday no one is focused on class or homework anyways. Some of my friends only have one class that meets Friday and I know they get tempted to skip because it seems pointless to come all the way to campus for fifty minutes of class. If ASU stopped having Friday classes I know the students would be happier and I’m sure the instructors would be too. Students need time to recuperate after the week is done and if any of you are like me, then you wish that you had one more day to get things done when you didn’t have to go to class. If this were to happen, I would be fine with Monday and Wednesday classes being a little bit longer so that Friday
was completely free and students were still getting full credit for the courses. I don’t think this is too much to ask, I feel as if students and teachers would appreciate the extra day in their weekend. It would really be nice if no one scheduled school meetings or homework assignments Friday too and just gave students the chance to breathe and enjoy life because it goes by way to fast. It seems like summer vacation just ended a few days ago and it’s already been three weeks. I know I am not alone when I say I get caught going through the motions. Maybe one day we will only have to get out of bed and drag ourselves to classes four days of the week.
Know both sides of issues before voting
Zane Callens Staff Writer Much of politics today revolves around the assault of character rather than the questioning of ideas. It’s without fail that every election conservatives are accused of racist motives and have proclaimed a “war on women.” Ever wondered why? Though not solely his doing, the words of Saul Alinsky in his book Rules for Radicals of “ridicule is man’s most potent weapon,” have much to contribute. Every time that the issue of abortion comes into discussion, the immediate attack from those on the left, those pertaining to the liberal and progressive movement, is that of an automatic strike on the character of those who oppose it. No ear is given to the argument and moral conviction that what many liberals consider to be a nonliving piece of flesh and simply call a fetus to be an actual child in the eyes of many conservatives. This obvious fact is nothing new to those who think and use reason, but is hardly acknowledged in the political scene. I think the real reason
this is covered by the left with their “war on women” chant begins at their foundation. Margret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, is not often talked about when discussing abortion politically. Reasoning for this might be that Margret Sanger also spoke at a number of KKK rallies while openly calling the white race “the supreme race” and referencing minorities as “human weeds.” Furthermore, we have letters that show her intentions of appealing to specifically the black race with abortions and birth control while private studies today show that a black female is 4.8 times more likely to have an abortion than a white female and that the results of this multigeneration practice has reduced the black population in America to half of what it would have been otherwise. The on-going accusation of racism from the left is also often cited when President Obama is criticized. However, I’m yet to hear one conservative point to him being half-black as reason to dislike him. Every time I’ve heard a conservative be critical of him it has been due to things involving national security like his foreign policy that have let Russia, Iraq and Iran become what they are, increasing the national debt to nearly 18 trillion when he claimed in 2008 he would reduce it to 5 trillion, or something
economical like blocking the construction of the Keystone Pipeline which would have created thousands of jobs. Ironically, in my opinion, it is the black conservative that faces the most racism in politics. Former Congressman Allen West, Dr. Benjamin Carson, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and others often carry the patriotic cross of standing in principle when labeled “Uncle Tom” for simply not aligning their political views with liberals based on the color of their skin. My point in this article is not to persuade one on the issue of abortion or conservative principles; those are different subjects for another day. My point is that when we listen to what one political party says about another without ever examining the other’s point, we often draw unsound conclusions. Concerning politics, always remember each side wants to win and that’s the aim of their political strategy. Every election, look at both sides and examine what is right. Look past the character onslaught; and do not allow anyone to decide your vote. “Facts are stubborn things,” stated Ronald Reagan, which is where we should find our partisanship.

How should America react to the immigration issue? “You have to look at why the immigrants are flooding the border. If you change how they gain citizenship it affects more than just the southern border. What America should do is look at the reasons why they are flooding the border and try to help those nations.” Jordan Butler Sophomore “I think we should make it easier for immigrants to become legal.”
Oscar Carronco Sophomore “They should have more security. America needs immigrants because everyone here is immigrants.
Henrika Hoff Sophomore “I think we should make it stricter for them.”

Soccer team off to a strong start
Another win for the Rambelles Cameron Niblock Staff Writer
The Rambelles kicked off the soccer season by defeating Adams State, 4-2 on Friday September 5, 2014. They pulled an early one point lead thanks to a phenomenal goal from sophomore Haylee Mendel. With this goal it became apparent that “we started really well” Mendel, said. The Rambelles started off strong with a 3-0 lead going out of the first half, but Adams State came back with a vengeance going into the second half. ASU responded to this change in pace with a strong defense, but wasn’t able to stop Adams States first goal of the game. It became clear going into the second half that the Rambelles pushed harder for control of the ball, Carlos Tovar, sophomore, said. A little after the midpoint of the game Adams State scored their second goal and they were determined to close the gap of the 3-2 score that had been present. The Rambelles’ ability to recover the ball and push it towards the goal “says a lot about how the season is going to be” Jared Goecker, student body president, said. With the effort put forth by the Rambelles, they were able to triumph over Adams State with a 4-2 victory. ASU’s goal keeper, Shantel Wittke, managed to save six goals during the game compared to the
Adams States goal keeper, Molly O’Connor, who evidently couldn’t stop the four goals scored by the Rambelles. This performance brought about the conclusion that “our goalie performed better,” Tovar, said. Going into this season we have 19 underclassmen and 6 upperclassmen that will
be playing, and our future accomplishments will depend on how quick we can mature as a team, Travis McCorkle said. It felt great coming out again and it’s always exciting, Mendel said.

Zane Callens Staff Writer The Rambelles put on quite a performance for those attending as they provided a victory over Missouri Sothern 3-1. The first set appeared to be an easy match winning with a 25-17 score. After losing the second set 20-25, ASU pulled ahead again winning the third set 25-20. Excitement arose in the final set when ASU fell behind 15-5. Towards the end of the game there was a one point rally between ASU and Missouri Southern making the score 1918. As the tight fourth set played out, ASU was able to hang on for the 25-21 victory to seal the win 3-1.
