SU Students Witness Nation’s Historical Event in Washington
By Sydney Churchill-Blain, Staff Secretary Earlier this year, two Schreiner students, Jessie Leal and Natalie Raper, traveled to Washington, D.C., for the 2017 Presidential Inauguration Seminar sponsored by The Washington Center. Leal, a political science major, and Raper, a history major with a minor in Spanish and Latin American studies, sat down with me one morning to talk about their experience. The two-week trip included numerous panel discussions and site visits to places such as the Capitol, various think tanks, numerous exhibits at the Smithsonian Institution and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The mornings would begin with a
speaker or panel discussing key issues that would need to be addressed during the next administration. Afterwards, the students would break into discussion groups ranging in size from twelve to fifteen students. After a late lunch break, everyone would go to that day’s site visit. Every night the 300 staudents who were attending the seminar would write about the various topics in papers that had to be completed and turned in the next day. Raper’s favorite place she visited during the trip was the National Postal Museum because it showed the different aspects of delivering by mail, air, car, and even train. Her favorite part of the program was
visiting World Watch, a think tank dedicated to setting up a new U.S. power grid. Raper loved how the trip allowed her to experience D.C. culture and a kind of independence that is different from being on a college campus. Leal enjoyed the inauguration, where she was amazed to see the huge attendance and the different reactions from the crowd. She said the trip opened her eyes to the fact that every political issue is more complicated than it seems on the surface. Being a congressman or representative is a difficult job, and she came away with more respect for their jobs and how they handle the complexity of the issues that they approach every day.
From Romulus to Romance: A Brief History of Valentine’s Day
By Rebekah Gardea, Student Writer February is such a historically rich month. We celebrate the birthdays of two presidents as well as an actual President’s Day, Susan B. Anthony’s birthday, Black History Month, and Valentine’s Day. Wait, what? Something doesn’t add up, right? I mean, seriously—isn’t Valentine’s Day the day of love, full of candy and flowers, red paper hearts and words of romance? Who thinks of Valentine’s Day as a day full of history? The truth is, however, that Valentine’s Day has quite the interesting origin story. Allow me to take you back in time to learn a bit more about where this holiday came from. The farthest we can trace Valentine’s Day-like celebrations is to the pre-Roman festival of Lupercalia. This festival was named for the wolf Lupa, who
was said to have raised the twins who founded Rome—Romulus and Remus. Lupercalia was held from February 13 to the 15th, and was primarily a celebration of health and fertility. In the late 400’s, however, Pope Gelasius I of the Roman Catholic Church abolished Lupercalia. He replaced the ancient festival with a day to honor a Roman Catholic saint, officially claiming February 14th as St. Valentine’s Day. While there were numerous Valentines associated with the early church, Valentine of Rome and Valentine of Terni are those honored as saints on this day. Until 1382, however, St. Valentine’s Day had no association with romanticism. The first tie between love and Valentine’s Day was made by the poet Geoffrey Chaucer in his work Parlement of Foules—“For this was on St. Valen-

International Day of Love
You either love it or hate it, but it’s finally here: Valentine’s Day. Everyone is familiar with the American Valentine’s Day traditions of cards, flowers, chocolates, and dinner, but perhaps these customs from around the world will surprise you! Men must love February 14th in South Korea, because they don’t need to do anything. On Valentine’s Day, women all over the country give their significant others chocolate. But don’t think that the men are always off the hook! They get their chance later in the year on “White Day” on March 14th where the men return the favor. If you’re single, South Korea doesn’t leave you out either! Just wait for April 14th to roll around, known as “Black Day” and gather together with your other single friends who were left out on Valentine’s Day and White Day. Together you’ll enjoy a meal of jajangmyeon, a noodle dish made with a soybean paste, pork, and other tasty ingredients. If someone gave you spoons for Valentine’s Day in the U.S., you’d probably break up with them. But not in
If you are single and feeling left out, head to Finland! Rather than using February 14th as a day of love and romance, the Finnish people celebrate friendship. As a result, Finland is not inundated with red hearts and pink greeting cards. However, the Finnish, like many other cultures across the world, have been affected by American movies portraying Valentine’s Day, and subsequently Valentine’s Day is becoming a more popular day for getting engaged or married.
ture in Kerrville. He will be the keynote speaker for the Summit. The event will begin at 6 PM and end at 8 PM. On Friday, February 24th, there will be another speaker in the CCAC theatre from noon to 4 PM. The environment will be casual and relaxed, as everyone is encouraged to share and speak from their own leadership experiences. “The benefits for this are that the students get a free opportunity to hear about leadership in varying ways from different sources,” Alexis Overdiek, a sophomore a Schreiner, said. So as a recap, if you are a dude who holds a leadership position on campus or is interesting in being a leader someday, make sure to RSVP for this Summit and attend one or both events!

Wales, because these aren’t your ordinary spoons. This tradition began hundreds of years ago with Welsh men giving their girls beautifully carved wooden spoons! Sometimes you’ll receive a spoon at your wedding or anniversary. Another thing to note is that Valentine’s Day isn’t in February, but is actually in late January with the celebration of St. Dwynwen (who is known for being the patron saint of lovers in Wales). I guess single people have to find their own spoon, which I suggest doing, as eating ice cream with a fork isn’t ideal.
Men’s Leadership Summit
By Marty Garcia, Editor In Chief For male students who are interested in improving their leadership skills and learning from other accomplished men, the Men’s Leadership Summit will be held later next week. The overall theme of the Summit will be Leadership in Small Business and Entrepreneurship. Food provided at the event is free with an RSVP to Alexis Overdiek at AMOver2792@schreiner.edu. Seats are limited, so register early! On Thursday, February 23rd, the owner of Pint and Plow, Mr. Walther, will host the first part of the Summit at his restaurant.

By Edward Miranda, Student Writer Hey! And welcome back to another “Food in Review.” My name is Edward R. Miranda and in this month’s episode of “Food in Review,” I had the amazing privilege to eat at Broken Stone Pizza Co. located at 809 Sidney Baker street right here in Kerrville, Texas. I’m going to get straight to the point, and the point is: Broken Stone Pizza Co. is amazing! With Zach Hix as general manager, I was welcomed with opened arms and a food experience that was incredible! I personally get tired of eating name brand pizza chain restaurants that either have stupid commercials that sell their product or just plain pizza that is godawful (these pizza companies will be left out of this segment, but you can use your imagination and figure out which ones I’m talking about). So back to business, and business has been booming for Broken Stone Pizza Co.—it has its two year anniversary coming up on February 15. The great thing about Broken Stone Pizza is that Yes! They do deliver to Schreiner University! And they are open Monday-Saturday 11

a.m. - 9:30 p.m. Selling pizza by the slice, whole, and an unlimited amount of toppings, how could you go wrong? As I sat back with manager Zach Hix, a pizza was brought to my table that was without a doubt one of the deadliest, meanest and meatiest pizzas of all time, “The CARNAVOR!” Six! Yes, count it, six! Different types of meats on a single pizza: pepperoni, ham, beef, Italian sausage, prosciutto, BACON! (May I add that this food review job is hard work, but hey, someone has to do it?) This was not a pizza for vegetarians, but if you are one or you just don’t like your pizza with that many meats on it, Broken Stone also offers salads, subs and a variety of different options. Oh and might I add that they have chicken wings! And these aren’t no wimpy, barely-have-any-meat-on-them chicken wings. No, these wings are like the Brock Lesnar of chicken wings! They are big and bad and super delicious, topped with homemade ranch and bleu cheese dressing that, like all the food at Broken Stone, is made fresh and daily. Broken Stone uses a brick oven, so you

In Review get that New York-style of hand-tossed thin crust pizza that is stunning yet thin and still able to hold a ton of toppings without making a mess everywhere. As I ate and kicked back, I looked around the place and saw that Broken Stone is very reasonably priced for college students and staff here at Schreiner University; and with a lot of options, Broken Stone isn’t just a “pizza joint” but more of an open venue for food and mix-and-match items. Overall I had a great time and I know you, the reader, will also—so quit reading this and head

Romance
Continued from front page
Valentine’s Day, when every bride cometh there to choose his mate.” By 1400, St. Valentine’s Day was referred to in the French Charter of the Court of Love as an annual celebration of love. The classic “Roses are red, violets are blue” poem was first written in 1784, and by 1797, poets were crafting romantic verses for young men to present to their ladies of choice. By 1835, over 60,000 hand-made Valentine’s Day cards were being sent throughout England, despite pricey postage.
The 19th and 20th centuries gave way to mass-produced greeting cards and the practices of gifting chocolates and flowers on Valentine’s Day. Today, Valentine’s Day is celebrated across the globe as a day to let the people you are closest to know how much you love them. Let someone know today how much they mean to you—and, if they’re willing, you might even be able to pass on your new knowledge of the history of Valentine’s Day.

Who’s Who: An Interview with Mrs. Kay Long
By Edward Miranda, Student Writer Hey, everybody! Welcome back to the spring semester here at Schreiner University. My name is Edward R. Miranda and in this month’s issue of “Who’s Who on Campus.” I interviewed Mrs. Kay Long, the Inter-Library Loan and serial manager here in the Logan Library. If you don’t know exactly who Mrs. Kay is, then you might better know her as the “Shhh…! People are studying” lady during the day shift. As the interview started, she stated to me that if we were to have this interview, then we had to be quiet! (Just a side note to you, the readers, Mrs. Kay is dedicated to her work, seriously.) But Mrs. Kay is a really sweet woman who explained to me that her job here at the Logan Library is to make sure that coffee pots are always filled with hot coffee (when you get done reading this, go thank Mrs. Kay for doing that, particularly during mid-terms and finals when you’re craving that daytime cup of coffee to help get you through the morning of studying). Mrs. Kay also works on the
books that are returned, damaged or just beat up. Here’s a fun fact: did you know that during the day shift at the Logan Library from 8am-3pm, an estimated 8 to 10 pots of coffee are consumed almost every day! Mrs. Kay tells me that she has been with Schreiner University for over fourteen and a half years. And with sad news, she will be retiring in May with her husband with plans to travel cross country and see
the landmarks of this great country. With three daughters (the youngest of whom is a Schreiner Alumni) and seven grandchildren, Mrs. Kay will have no trouble staying busy after retirement. I asked her what kind of advice you would give to a new Schreiner student entering the library. She puts it simply: “Don’t ever be afraid to ask for help.” As a devoted Christian and employee, she loves every student who comes to the
library. She tells me what the hardest part of her job will be: “Edward, when I retire, I know in my heart that I will miss all the students that have touched my life from when they first enter as nervous and worried freshmen all the way to when they become confident seniors on campus. And that’s what I will miss most about Schreiner University.” And so, on that bittersweet note, that concludes my interview of “Who’s Who on Campus”! So, now what? You, the reader, tell me. Who should I interview next? You decide! Send me an e-mail (ERMira3236@ schreiner.edu), hit me up when you see me walking on campus, shout it across the street, or even whisper it to me in the library. I don’t care, just let me know who you want to know more about on campus and I’ll do my best to get an interview with them. My name is Edward R. Miranda, for the “Who’s Who on Campus,” and remember: Don’t get drunk and text people, and I am out!
Girls Just Wanna Go Greek
By Paige Voigt, Student Writer Membership in a sorority offers students a unique opportunity to have a balanced college life with a focus on academic excellence, leadership development, service, sisterhood, and responsible social interaction. It also offers students the chance to make lasting friendships with girls that have similar ideals and common purposes. The girls that rushed this spring semester were really excited to become a new member of either the Delta Phi Epsilon or Alpha Sigma Alpha sororities. When asked why they wanted to be a part of Greek life, most said they were ready to put themselves out there, make friends, and become a more independent person. Delta Phi Epsilon’s number grew by 17 after Bid Day. Their alien themed parties were out of this world! Alpha Sigma Alpha added 17 new ladybugs on Bid Day. The are all wearing red proudly! Both sororities are thankful to have these beautiful girls, and can’t wait to help them become strong women.
