n preparation for presenting plans to the legislature, consultant architects and campus officials discussed a vision for buildings, green space, parking and athletic facilities at a series of meetings on campus Tuesday. University officials specifically noted that the legislature has not given universities money for significant building for the last three sessions. "We've been told directly and indirectly… that universities are getting more significant money (in the 2015 session)," University President Jesse Rogers said in introducing the session. "We're one of the older campuses in the state. We've been building a piece at a time and as a result we need to stop and be sure we don't make any mistakes and maybe correct some things that we have in the past." Architect Christopher Rice and faculty planner Doug Abraham set a timeline for rec-

ommending projects to the Board of Regents within two weeks. They determined that building a new health and science building is the university's first priority in requesting funding from the state. The planners also determined that the campus doesn't need additional parking. Instead, parking needs to be moved from the middle of campus to the exterior. Plans were also proposed to expand the campus green space to beautify the campus and prioritize pedestrian walkways rather than roads. Toward the end of the 90-minute presentation with the Faculty Senate, the planners discussed athletic facilities operating under the premise that baseball was not feasible due to the drought. Rogers said city officials probably wouldn't let MWSU build a baseball field until the area got some rain, stressing that he hopes the do-

nors "will stick with us." However, planners did present a long-range vision for everything from moving the softball field and practice fields, which they stressed would be artificial turf, to building a football stadium on the south side of Prothro-Yeager. Rice — who worked with Vice President for Business Affairs and Finance Marilyn Fowlé at three other campuses — and Abraham met with students at 7 p.m. in the Comanche Suite of Clark Student Center. There they presented the same master plan, but emphasized student input. Keith Lamb, vice president for student affairs and enrollment management, introduced the presentation, emphasizing that the master plan ultimately benefits the students. “This is your university. It’s not mine,” Lamb said. “I just work here.” Parking and Greek housing were the biggest

Master plan needed OUR VIEW: The master plan is necessary for structured, long-term growth, but administrators need to prove to the legislature that Midwestern State University can keep up with other Texas schools despite our flat enrollment figures.

T

wo university planners hired by Midwestern State University administrators presented their initial master plan to the faculty senate and then to an audience of nearly 200 students on Tuesday. Although any mention of reducing the amount of parking on campus is always met with vocal criticism from students, a master plan is necessary for the university to grow. It gives us an in-depth look into the possible direction MSU may head, but only if enrollment increases. A master plan helps prevent wasteful spending. The board of regents won’t approve a new building or decorative statue if it conflicts with the master plan. This ensures that tuition dollars spent adding a wing to the student center won’t get torn down five years later when a road needs to be built through it. A long-term plan will also preserve the legacy of current administrators and students. If we decide that the university needs to focus on expanding its green space under University President Jesse Rogers, the master plan ensures that his successor will stay the course. Facility Planner hired by university officials Doug Abraham said, “Every successful university has a master plan.” To him and Christopher Rice, the second university planner, it’s that simple. Unfortunately, Midwestern State University is one of the only public universities in Texas not seeing enrollment growth. Keith Lamb, vice president of student affairs and enrollment management, said during the presentation on Tuesday that there are fewer students now than there were last year. MWSU hasn’t experienced significant growth in numbers since fall ’08, while West Texas A&M and Texas Tech posted record numbers last fall. So how do we expect the legislature to approve academic funding for a new health science building for one of the only schools not experiencing growth? University officials need to show the legislature that we can keep up with other universities. Part of the master plan should encompass establishing MWSU’s niche in Texas’s academic landscape, otherwise the only thing setting us apart from the rest of the universities is the disparity in enrollment numbers.

Take a look around the College of Fine Arts and Eddie Miller scattered like little land mines are rat droppings.

For instance, the incident at Sundance Apartment’s will not seal the deal on a prospective student either. Trash cans were empty, yet students decided to keep piling trash on the ground. To their credit, the doors on the dumpster were closed, or maybe they didn’t have proper training as a kid sliding the door of a dumpster open or flipping up a lid. Skipping up the chain of command is not always a good idea, but in the situation of campus clean up, it was necessary. I notified University President Jesse Rogers of the situation, and he immediately

took action. Rogers took the initiative to walk around campus picking up various items of liter. Such as: Chicken Express boxes, paper cups and dirty diapers. “We must have a plan to call littering to the campus’ attention,” Rogers said in an email. Now, Rogers plans on adding this topic to his staff agenda and possibly bringing it up to student government in the near future. If MSU wants to look good public relations world, the school as a whole has to take charge. We need to come together and show our university we really do care. Recently a resident from Killingsworth tweeted about how dirty the public bathrooms were on her floor. After that, the residents of the floor were scrutinized for taking public action and not keeping it hidden and going to their resident advisor about it. The RA uses the same bathrooms, and up until the tweet, she had not reported anything about how dirty the bathrooms were. Without the student taking charge and saying something, the bathrooms would have remained dirty until the janitors finally decided to clean it. The students, faculty and staff can’t keep expecting people to do everything for them. The president should not have to take time out of his day to pick up trash. It would be more beneficial to the school if Rogers was able to get bigger things done rather than having to pick up after us like we are 7-years-old. Quit being lazy. Just take the extra five minutes out of your day to not just keep Texas beautiful, but your campus as well.

MASTER PLAN pg. 1 concerns of the predominantly Greek audience of nearly 200 students. “It’s about when they are available, not that there aren’t enough spaces,” one sorority member said, which was met with great applause. Although any changes made to the campus will affect parking and likely decrease the amount of parking spots, Rice, Abraham and administrators have prioritized the new health science building as the most immediate change the university needs to grow. “[Administrators] have strong plans to grow, certainly in very specific areas, and health science is one of them. It has a lot of students and a lot of programs that are popular right now, and they’re well over capacity,” Abraham said. “Science and mathematics are the same way, and those are two areas where the state legislature and education in general are heading in the future.” Lamb said giving more space to the health sciences and other programs running at full capacity will allow them to take in more students, thus raising enrollment — which Lamb said is the only thing that could stop the master plan. “These are all options, but once those options are decided and they’ve decided where that stuff is going to go, that doesn’t mean it’s all going to happen anyway. If we don’t grow, you’re not going to see much of that happen, quite frankly,” Lamb said. “In order for them to build some of these buildings, housing for example, you have to grow and have the demand there.” Abraham said all universities must have a master plan to avoid spending money on expensive projects that will just be torn down 10 years later. “All successful universities have a master plan. You have to plan for the future,” Abraham said. “Everybody does understand that the growth of the university cannot stay flat. It’s one of the few in the state that’s a public university that has stayed flat. Higher education in the state as a whole is growing by leaps

fact is, more and more students coming out of high school are wanting to go into the sciences and health sciences, and certainly with the way healthcare is going in the future with Obamacare and everything, there’s going to be more of these positions out there. Those are the growth areas.” Cammie Dean, director of student development and orientation, said an online form for students to provide feedback on the master plan will be added to OrgSync on Wednesday. She said the form will be posted to the SGA page where all students can access it. “I know there will be focus groups later, but in the meantime I think folks really want a chance to say something,” Dean said. “People are excited and nervous about the things that they saw tonight, and I’d hate to say here it is, now I’ll talk to you next month. It will be great to hear right away what people are thinking.”

performance that has been sold out for nearly a month, the vocal quintet Pentatonix will perform at Akin Auditorium Feb. 4 at 7 p.m. as part of the on going Artist Lecture Series. The a capella group was the winner of season three of NBC’s “The Sing-off.” “This event is different because we usually have music performances which have instruments,” Rickey Santellana, Artist Lecture Series chairman, said. “This group is a more recent popular group which is familiar to our college students.” In the past, events held by the Artist Lecture Series Committee have showcased jazz, bluegrass and Latin, but this is the first a capella group to perform on campus. The committee paid $27,500 for the event. The Office of Student Affairs started releasing tickets to students on Jan. 6 and community members were able to purchase tickets after Jan. 21, however, tickets were sold out before then. “Tickets for an event have never gone this quickly, especially by all students,” Sarah McBride, senior in biology and student assistant for the Office of Student Affairs, said. “It was insane.” Officials at the Office of Student Affairs

added seats to the ends of each row in Akin Auditorium to sell more tickets. “We didn’t plan to add anymore tickets before the performance, but we want to get as many people in the auditorium as possible because a lot of people want to see this event,” McBride said. This is the first time an event for the Artist Lecture Series has been sold out to only students. “Last semester Dr. Drew was another big seller, however, most of the tickets were sold to community members instead of students,” McBride said. Pentatonix features twists on current pop songs without the use of instruments. “Since this group is growing in popularity it was very important to lock a date quick,” Santellana said. “We started the process last spring semester in order to secure the February date.” Although all of the tickets were sold to students, many students were still unable to secure a ticket. “When I heard they were coming to MSU, I got really excited because I saw them on ‘The Sing Off’,” Alysia Johnson, junior in business, said. “But when I tried to get tickets, they were already sold out.”

Marine brings campus a workout

CHINESE NEW YEAR

AUSTIN QUINTERO REPORTER

O

fficials with the Fort Worth Marine Corps Officer Selection Office, a program that gives college students the chance to become a Marine officer, visited Midwestern last week with a workout that showed five students how Marines train. “What a lot of people don’t understand is that we’re not here to get you to sign up,” Marine Master Sgt. Billy Randall said. “There’s a long application that goes with this and the acceptance rate is not high at all.” The Officer Selection Office is an office specifically designed to recruit students to apply for a commission as an officer. However what people mistake is that it’s not the same as an enlisted recruiting station. It was not the first time the Fort Worth office has visited the campus. Two students Casey Svatek, senior in criminal justice, and Zach Apperson, senior in business management, finished their last session of OCS this past summer. One of the things marines are known most for is their intense physical training. So to help with his recruitment, Randall brought a marine style cross fit workout to students in the wellness center. “What I’m doing is just a cross fit session over in the wellness center.” Randall said. “I’m just gonna pull people in and ask if they want to try just to show them sort of what we do.” The session took place over 40 minutes with six stations. The workout was divided into three cycles, the first one being 5 minutes each station, second 1:30 minutes, and the last as just a quick 30 seconds. The stations were made of two exercises in which 5 reps of each were done and repeated until the designated time finished.

Right from the start it was a battle. In the first half the lead changed eight times before MSU took over, leading Kingsville 42-35 going into halftime. Coming out in the second half, the men never surrendered

the lead. Four minutes into the half Tavarion Nix and DeVaughn Jones blocked the Javelinas four times, sparking an aggressive defense that refused to let the Javelinas back into the game. Junior point guard Kevin Wagner said, “Lately they’ve been calling the games tight, but today they just let us play. That’s how we practice so it’s fun to play like that.” The men defeated the Javelinas 83-62. The win moves MSU to 4-2 in Lone Star Conference play and 12-6 overall.
