One more task, but it’s not homework Graduates must apply for graduation regardless if they plan on walking the stage JOHN GONZALES | REPORTER jgonzales@foghornnews.com Graduation applications for the 2022 spring semester are due by Feb. 23. Regardless of whether they plan to participate in commencement ceremonies or not, applicants must apply for graduation to have their respective degrees/certificates recognized on their transcript. Students can visit www.delmar.edu for application packets. Both the graduation application and degree audit must be signed by an applicant’s academic adviser. Packets must include an application and system-generated academic evaluation for every program of study in which an applicant expects to receive a diploma. Sean Irving, a political science major at Del Mar College, said talking with his academic adviser was a helpful experience. Irving said that on top of assisting him with
schoolwork, the adviser offered to help him find job opportunities in his desired field. MAP Adviser Benjamin Hernandez called advising a collaborative relationship between the student and adviser. “Make your adviser an integral part of your support system from as early on as possible in order to help keep you on track and set yourself up for success,” Hernandez said. Students looking to locate and schedule an appointment with their adviser can go to www.delmar.edu to access the academic advising directory. From there, they can search by major to locate their respective adviser. Liberal arts majors do not need to schedule an appointment and can simply go to the Student Enrollment Center (Room 127) in the Harvin Center at the Heritage Campus. For Collegiate High School students, academic advisers guide upcoming graduates along each step of the application, usually with the intent of directing them toward their desired college. However, for students such as Aubrey Zambrano, a Collegiate senior who plans to graduate with

things like financial aid, transcripts, and applying for a variety of scholarships. Students can submit their complete application packets to graduation@delmar. edu. According to the College Relations Office, Del Mar plans to host the spring 2022 commencement ceremony in person on May 20, but plans are subject to change.

Intramurals Director Kristy Urbick said she is excited to have students use the rec center after following the health and safety protocols that the college had in place since March 2020 due to the pandemic. “We’ve been looking forward to having students back for a long time,” Urbick said. “We are excited to be opening up the fitSEE FACILITIES ON PAGE 3

Del Mar College Foundation scholarships are now available for the 2022-23 academic year. All students who plan to attend Del Mar for the fall 2022 and spring 2023 semesters are eligible for scholarships by filling out an application based on their academic and financial status. “I have applied for Del Mar’s scholarships before, and it is pretty easy,” said Gavin Ganceres, a digital media major. “I was surprised to see I qualified for a few of them that helped me save so much money here at school.” Jake Hernandez, a radio/TV major, said the application process is fast. “I ended up qualifying for a few, which is tight,” Hernandez said. Once the application is complete, students will be notified if they qualify for any scholarships. Qualifying students will be emailed directly and they will then email the DMC Foundation a copy of their 2022 class schedule to receive the funds. According to Matthew Busby, director of development at the Del Mar College Foundation, due to the pandemic, fundraising for this year’s scholarships has “reshaped how we can engage with our community supporters.” The foundation has changed how it interacts with donors, moving away from the largescale funding events like before the pandemic. All fundraising events have been done virtually, such as the foundation’s fishing tournament and crawfish boil. “We continue to innovate with the number one goal being to help as many students as possible with the most meaningful ways for our donors,” Busby said. The deadline to apply for most scholarships is April 30. Coastal Bend Community Foundation Scholarship applications close March 1. The South Texas Academic Rising Stars Scholarship, which the DMC Foundation matches each semester, is open through March 31. For applications and more information, visit www.delmar.edu/foundation/scholarships.

Guest lecture artist Sharon Kopriva came by Richardson Performance Hall at Del Mar College’s Heritage Campus on Feb. 17 to introduce a few of her pieces that will be shown at DMC’s 56th annual National Drawing and Small Sculpture Show. Kopriva is the guest juror for the show. According to Assistant Professor of Art Benjamin Ogrodnik, Kopriva is a multidiscipline artist whose work is mysterious and timeless. Kopriva’s work consists
of sculptures, drawings, and paintings. The Houston-based sculptor and painter portrays her Catholic faith through her artwork. Kopriva said her piece “Pendent Woman” portrays a new period of light in her Catholic journey. “This paper mache piece is the first time I started putting my own Catholic background into these paper mache pieces,” Kopriva said.

ARTIST FROM PAGE 1 “Joan of Arc.” This piece not only had the look Kopriva wanted but it also had the smell. “I learned to make her smell the way she should. It’s just a hint that something is burning within,” Kopriva said. Finding inspiration for Kopriva comes in many different ways, such as traveling across the world to countries like Peru. Kopriva also mentioned that finding what was meaningful to her and what expressed her fears and hopes, made her art a good representation of herself. Art student Marina Herrera said Kopriva’s approach to art is inspiring. “I have never seen a lot of contemporary art that takes reference from the Catholicism anymore. That is only seen in the classic pieces. It is nice seeing somebody who makes the same art I want to make,” Herrera said. According to Herrera, Kopriva has pieces from churches that she took a lot of inspiration from and hopes to incorporate those pieces into her artwork in the near future. This year’s National Drawing and Small Sculpture Show includes 49 artists. Kopriva selected 31 two-dimensional pieces and 24 sculptures out of the 387 entries to be in the show. The exhibit, which is free to view, will remain on display in Joseph A. Cain .Gallery through May 6.

able for recreation due to roof repairs, it is set to open back up in June, Urbick said. The gymnasium also houses lockers and extra showers. A limited number of both are available in the swimming pool section of the recreation center that students have access to. Urbick encouraged students to take advantage of the center. “You don’t have to pay for a gym membership. You can save money. If you’re already here on campus taking classes
you can just quickly come over, work out and either go back to class or leave from here,” Urbick said. Emyle Lopez, a business and marketing major, said the workout area is well-maintained. “It’s kept up really well and it’s better than going to a gym because they make sure the equipment is clean,” Lopez said. The fitness center is open 2:30-5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to noon Friday. The pool is open from 1-5 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
Speech, debate team starts spring semester strong The Vocal Vikings suit up again to start the Spring semester off with multiple second-, third- and fourth-place finishes at the junior college state tournament. Team members competed in Program Oral Interpretation, Poetry, Prose, Impromptu Speaking and Informative Speaking, along with other community colleges at the junior college state competition on Feb. 12 that was held virtually. Beyonce Franklin, a sophomore drama major, won third place in Prose and fourth place in Impromptu Speaking at just her third tournament on the team. “I felt very excited, I didn’t think I would
place but seeing that I placed gave me a boost of confidence,” Franklin said. But the awards didn’t stop there, Mary Gazcewski, a sophomore speech communications major, placed second in both Informative Speaking and Program Oral Interpretation. With years of experience on the Vocal Viking, Gazcewski treats each tournament as a learning opportunity. “You learn from every competition on what you can do to improve and I think that’s one of the best things,” Gazcewski said. Alden Sparrow, a freshmen network administration and information security major placed third in Impromptu Speaking. An
event where competitors have seven minutes to craft and preform an impromptu speech based off a quotation given during the beginning of the seven minute period. Award winners also include Emily Rivas, a freshman majoring in kinesiology and speech, who placed 5th in Poetry and Nichaela Shaheen, a sophomore majoring in public relations and advertising, placed second in both Poetry and Impromptu Speaking and fourth place in Prose. With years of experience on the Vocal VIking, Gazcewski encourages students to join the team. “You never know what your missing out on
unless you try it out. If it’s not for you it’s not for you, but you may find a hidden passion that you never knew you had,” Gazcewski said. The team is led by Director of Forensics, Sarah Contreras, a professor of speech communication. For more information on how to join the Vocal Vikings team, contact Sarah Contreras at 361-698-1566 or slcontrer@delmar.edu, or stop by Suite D206 in the General Academic and Music Building on Heritage Campus.

A taste of Philly right across the bridge EATING AROUND TOWN
WITH NICHAELA SHAHEEN
As the days seem to be getting cooler out you may find yourself wanting to bite into something warm and hearty. I have just the place for you, Yo Philly Cheese Steaks & Subs, a locally owned restaurant that gives you a communal sense as soon as you walk into the door. Once you head to North Beach and park you are met with a white building decorated with red paint on the walls. One of the sides has an illustration of a boy with a huge sub in his hand in cartoon style, the other side has the words of the main items on their menu: “Subs. Burgers. Fries. Pizza.” When the door opens you see walls covered with jerseys, TVs, and an openstyle kitchen to the right. There is even a Philly wall, dedicated to celebrities from Philadelphia including Will Smith and Bradley Cooper. They have pictures of community members with fish too, adding that cozy sense to the overall ambiance. This is a type of restaurant that seems to have regulars. While the heat of the open kitchen does travel into the restaurant dining area making it a bit humid and hot, it isn’t something you have to deal with for long. The wait time to get your food is just about 15 minutes and with a self-serve drink machine, you don’t have to wait for someone to bring you refills and secretly judge your liquid intake. The menu options include hot subs, cold subs, pizzas, burgers and desserts. All options sound tasty and with fries or onion rings as an

HBO Max's 'KIMI' is a technological thriller MIRANDA MEDINA | MANAGING EDITOR mmedina@foghornnews.com
The new thriller film “KIMI” was released Feb. 10 on the streaming service HBO Max. If you don’t already have a subscription, you may want to get one — it’s that good. Academy Award winning director Steven Soderbergh, known for the “Ocean’s Eleven” franchise, does it again by giving his viewers an hour and a half-long movie that will keep them on their toes but also wanting more. This film will give you the same un-
easy feeling if you knew for fact that our devices are listening to each one of our conversations. But really KIMI, an Alexa-like device, is for sure listening. But “only to better human conversation,” according to its inventor. Unlike Alexa and Siri, KIMI doesn’t just rely on algorithms. Humans listen in to make the smart device smarter. The new and fascinating device is hoped to be the next thing. “Big Little Lies” Zoë Kravitz stars as Angela Childs, a voice interpreter for the device company, which means her job is
DIARY OF A NONTRAD
Feeling like you're old? Deny. deny, deny, deny PHILIP J. PEREZ pperez@ foghornnews.com
At what age did you realize you were getting old? Maybe it’s not a certain age but a specific moment in life that causes an “Oh Hell, I’m Freaking Old” realization. Perhaps it’s the moment you let out an involuntary grunt as you got off the couch or maybe it was the sudden urge to snag multiple packs of crackers from a restaurant. Maybe all it took is one look in the mirror to notice a random hair growing off the bridge of your nose. Heck, it could even be a combination of multiple things or maybe it was the moment your kid said, “Dad, you’re getting old,” because you have been in denial of every other sign of age. Denial is one heck of a drug. We all know reality is inevitable, but all it takes is a shot of denial to make us forget all about it or purposely ignore it. Hell, as I sit and type this, I sit in denial even though I’m straining my eyes to see the screen and keyboard because, not too long ago, I could see a shard of glass in a sandcastle. Despite all those signs, reality did not set in until I was walking into the Harvin Center and a pretty, young coed ran up and gave me a hug. I was stunned at first because, hey, a man my age should not get a hug from some random 19-year-old. So, I apologized and asked, “Do I know you?” “It’s me, silly,” she replied, all while we were getting awkward stares from other students. “You were my mom’s boyfriend when I was 5.” That was moment No. 1. This is my second semester back in school and my moments of realization
continue to pile up into this dark closet of denial I keep in my mind, hoping the walls won’t break from everything being stored inside. There are those awkward moments during a class discussion about something historic when the instructor turns to me and say, “You remember those days.” There are those moments when the 25-year-old sitting next to you complains about one random grey hair and you can’t hide that look of disgust even if it hurts to do so. There was the one moment when a landline phone rang and a student screamed in delight because she thought it was just for decoration. My favorite so far is the moment I stood up to talk and announced my age only to be interrupted by a round of applause. It was a nice gesture, but it is almost embarrassing. I will say, for many of us nontrads, being able to return to school is definitely an accomplishment. I won’t discount that. We have all been given another chance to reinvent ourselves and create a new path or to advance in our current journeys. That being said, there is a bit of vulnerability that the nontraditional student faces that traditional students do not experience and if all goes well for them, will never have to. We tend to move at a slower pace. We sometimes struggle with technology. Our bones crack randomly. We appreciate elevators and will walk an extra distance to find a working one because stairs freaking suck. (Maybe that’s just me.) But for Pete’s sake, just because I was born in the ’60s does not mean I knew where I was when Kennedy was shot! Now, there is a reason for this rant and here it is. As a journalism student, I may need to approach many of you for interviews or simple quotes and I may carry a camera at times. If you spot me, please don’t call security on me and report an old guy with a camera on campus. I’m just another college student trying to get a degree like everyone else.
to make KIMI understand its owner better. But once Angela comes across a file and overhears a violent crime, she’s torn as to what she should do with the recording. Angela has been a victim herself to assault in the past, leaving her scared to leave her own apartment. The pandemic and its resulting lockdown also have added to her agoraphobia. However, when it comes to light that the recording is in Angela’s hands, very powerful people come after her. And those very powerful people hap-
pen to be paid by a successful tech businessman. With no one to turn to, she is stuck deciding to face her own fear of leaving her own home to find justice for the victim. While the trailer makes Angela seem short-tempered and determined, viewers quickly learn that’s her defense mechanism to help her cope with her past. With assassins in pursuit, Angela’s anxiety only rises. But whether she’s able to leave the house, and what happens from there, is what will have viewers’ anxiety levels skyrocketing too.

PHILIP J. PEREZ| OPINIONS EDITOR pperez@foghornnews.com
For the first 9 seasons, he was the main character. Rick was the leader of his group and did everything possible to keep his group safe. Unfortunately, it didn’t always turn out that way.
It’s been 12 years since King County Sheriff’s Deputy Rick Grimes woke up from a coma only to realize he was in the middle of an apocalypse. The Walking Dead premiered in 2010 and introduced the world to Grimes, played by Andrew Lincoln, Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus), his brother Merle (Michael Rooker) and Carol Peletier, (Melissa McBride.) Through the years, TWD fans have gone through many highs and lows as they’ve been emotionally invested in characters like Glenn, Carl, Abraham and Hershel. Fans have built love-hate relationships with villains like The Governor, Pope, Alpha, Merle and Jadis — .and of course everyone’s favorite Negan. When Rick left in season 9, many bandwagon fans left as well but loyalists stayed and were not disappointed in the character development of those who were previously mere supporting roles to Rick. With Season 11, we can finally hope to get a sort of closure to a series that may never have a true ending. Season 11 has 24 episodes, with episode 9 premiering on Feb. 20 on AMC.
Negan was the leader of the Saviors and arguably the most brutal character in the series. His biggest hits came in the form of Abraham and Glen, courtesy of Lucille. He also sacrificed his dignity to kill Alpha.
Daryl’s older brother, Merle, was also one of the original characters. His racists comments easily made him one of the most hated people in Season 1. He became The Governor’s right hand man before being betrayed by being forced to fight Daryl in a death match.
Daryl is one of the original characters. He is the most resourceful and oftentimes very nomadic, which puts him in some vulnerable situations. He is definitely looking to be a major player in Season 11.
CHARLIE ADLARD| THE WALKING DEAD COMICS
Ezekiel was a former zookeeper who created a village known as the Kingdom. He, along with his tiger Shiva and bodyguard, Jerry, were first introduced in 2016. Although fighting cancer, he continues to be a major player in Season 11.
She first showed up escorted by two Walkers on chains and impressed with her sword wielding skills. Michonne is a skilled warrior with a big heart.
Negan brutally kills Glenn and Abraham using Lucille, a baseball bat covered in barbed wire after capturing Rick’s group. This scene was deemed the most controversially violent episode in the show’s history and drew criticism from parents groups. Watch the scene here at your own discretion:
A feisty, tough and brave woman with a sassy nature. She is a skilled expert with firearms and knives and will not hesitate to kill an opposing threat.
The leader of the Whisperers, a group that lives among the Walkers by camouflaging themselves using flesh. She is responsible for the deaths of Jesus, Tara, Henry and others. She was ultimately seduced by Negan before he beheaded her.
A survivor of domestic abuse who has grown into one of the most bad a** characters in the series. She will lure you with her baking skills only to shoot you in the head without hesitation.
Known as the Widow, Maggie can be a ruthless leader but, like Rick, can let her thirst for revenge lead to bad consequences.
“You got a sh*t storm behind door A and a storm of sh*t behind door B. If you’re lucky, it’s walkers or a shot-up truck. But sooner or later you get cornered. You wind up stayin’ and you wind up killin’.” Abraham’s life was cut short by Negan and Lucille. ++
“Simply put, there’s a vast ocean of sh*t you people don’t know sh*t about. Rick knows every fine grain of said sh*t and then some.”

There is still more work to be done We are each other’s harvest; we are each other’s business; we are each other’s magnitude and bond. – Gwendolyn Brooks As we celebrate Black History month, let us remember why the celebration is important. It’s more than honoring the many accomplishments and sacrifices made by African American men and women, it is also about the goals and dreams that were the motivation for the fight for equality, not only for African Americans but for all people of color. Those dreams laid the foundation for many movements towards the advancement of equal rights and fair treatment for all and from all...at least we keep telling ourselves that. The sad reality is that there is so much work that needs to be done. We continue to live in a dark place when it comes to race relations. The mentalities of so many continue to enjoy the ignorance of being superior to people of color. Where we see progress in one aspect, we see a deterioration of others. An argument can be made that since we had a black president and currently a black vice-president that it is enough proof for the equal treatment of people of color but is it really enough or is it just enough to pacify the masses. We continue to see poor treatment from law enforcement towards people of color. The recent case of Daunte Wright, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Eric Garner, Elijah McClain, Tamir Rice and the list continues to grow, shighlighting the need to continue to fight for equality. Even with those accomplishments, there must be a point in time where we can all say, “We have a president who just happens to be African-American or Chicano or Asian American or LGBTQ+” or anyone who is more than qualified for the job. The problem is that we cannot only blame others for the issues of inequality. There comes a time where we must stop expecting apologies from people who refuse to and start moving forward towards a progress that can only happen once, we remove hate in our hearts and souls. There is so much anger in our society and it is understood and valid, but it has gotten to a point where anger distracts from the ultimate goal of progress, not only in race relations and unity but also
TRISTIN WILLIAMS | FOGHORN NEWS
within our own communities. Unity has to start from within before the concept gets lost forever. Yes, plenty of progress has been made and yes, the fight for equality must continue but we
must unite entirely with those who have the same goals so that our voices can rise up in unison over those who, in desperation for fear of change, try to drown us out with noise pollution...and we must do
it with love because as the late Rev, Martin Luther King, Jr. said, ““Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
QUESTION: WHAT SPECIFIC MOMENT MADE YOU REALIZE THERE IS STILL MORE WORK TO BE DONE IN REGARDS TO RACIAL EQUALITY?

Gym repairs don’t stop intramural program Del Mar’s intramurals program is in full swing despite roofing repairs to the gymnasium. The resulting closure of the gym has forced Kristy Urbick, intramurals director, to change the location of several upcoming events. Although the gym is going to be closed for the rest of the spring semester, the intramural sports program still plans to host activities for students and recently added several more. The new additions include tennis, four-square, table tennis and racquetball. — Miranda Medina RIGHT: Morgan Sparks gets ready for her first serve during a volleyball game Feb. 10 in the gymnasium. The gymnasium is now closed for repair work. BELOW: Teammates Shawn Nguyen (left) and Gerad Stratmann encourage each other during the game.
