The “Bowtie” Building
By Gianna Esparza, Student Reporter The construction on the east side of campus between the Hanszen building and Edington gym is finally starting to slow down, which means Schreiner University’s new music facility is ready to let music ring. Fondly dubbed the “Bowtie” building by various faculty and students in honor of the building’s namesake, former president Dr. Tim Summerlin and his
traditional bowtie. The Tim Summerlin Music Education Hall and the Gena and Neil Griffin Arts Center official dedication and ribbon cutting ceremony is set to occur Tuesday, April 18, 2017 at 4:30 pm. I recently had the opportunity to tour and have class for the University Choir in the brand-new building for the first time. Our tour of the two-story facility was

The Arsonists to Blaze into Hanszen
By Houston A. Glover Student Reporter If an arsonist is actively trying to burn your house down, but is able to convince you he’s not an arsonist, you need to reevaluate your ability to judge character. This is exactly the situation presented in The Arsonists, which is set to open this weekend at the Hanszen Building’s black box theatre here on campus. The Arsonists, which is to be the final show in the Flag is Up Productions’ 2016-2017 season, is also the directorial debut and senior project of theatre major Martin Olivares, who says, “This is theatre of the absurd… the plot is very ‘point A, point B,’ and at the same time seems pointless…and that’s the point. It leaves the moral to be filled in by the audience.” The Arsonists is a new translation of Biedermann und die Brandstifter—a mid-century play by German playwright Max Frisch—and opens with Gottlieb Biedermann (Houston Glover) in a state of agitation over the current state of affairs. Reports of arson fill the newspapers
every day, and the perpetrators are still at large. Bied z Jo Schmitz (Charlotte Mikuls), a homeless ex-circus performer who just wants to come in out of the rain. Schmitz begs her host for a place to spend the night, and Biedermann reluctantly agrees, giving her a place in the attic. Over the course of Schmitz’s stay, Biedermann, along with his wife, Babette (Kayla Castaneda) and Anna the maid (Mary K. Huerta), begin to realize that their strange guest may not be as innocent as she pretends. Their worries intensify with the sudden and uninvited appearance of Billy Eisenring (Andrew Cannon), a scheming waiter with an offbeat sense of humor that never fails to make everyone uncomfortable. What follows is a horrifyingly hilarious example of dark comedy, as the Biedermann household wonders whether they are harboring the infamous arsonists, while Mr. Biedermann himself unwittingly helps them set the fuse. “The tagline is, ‘It’s a morality tale without a moral,’” Olivares said. “Each

Schreiner Raises Tuition Costs Again, Offers Reduced Summer Courses
By Marty Garcia, Editor-In-Chief A letter was mailed out to students recently informing them of the latest rise in tuition and housing costs. You may find your copy at home or possibly in your campus mail box. While most of the returning students will invariably pay the difference to continue their education, some students may look into other institutions while some may stop school altogether, as it happens every time tuition rises. However, as I reviewed by peers for their opinion, I observed something surprising. In my business class, most did not even know that there was a tuition change. I think that the notification should have been made more directly than a letter in the mail. Maybe by calling students or sending emails to families…
As junior Dena McCain put it, if we can get thunderstorm notifications immediately, maybe we should also get changes in policies and cost immediately. Many students don’t go home to see their mail or don’t make their way to their campus mail box unless they are expecting something specific. Why is this important? Well, a student may be planning to study abroad or do an unpaid internship in the summer. During application season in the spring, if a student does not know about the tuition increase in time, they may not be able to plan accordingly to ensure their participation in programs and continued enrollment. In the letter, President Charlie McCormick justifies the tuition increase by quoting the national rise in the cost of higher education. While that may

The Reveille - April 5th, 2017
The College Workforce of America By Sydney Churchill-Blain, Staff Secretary Wake up, study, attend class, work, sleep, repeat. This is the typical day for many college students. A publication from Georgetown University found that around 70 to 80 percent of college students have a job. Their research also found that their average work week was around 30 hours. Georgetown’s study also revealed that students can’t solely work their way through college any longer because of higher tuition. Students all across the nation are doing their best to relieve their personal economic burden by working through college. It could be said that college workers aren’t just students; they are part of the workforce of America. Here’s what I discovered when talking to one of the student workers on campus. Jessica Gaines, a freshman at Schreiner, works two jobs because she wants to escape from minimum wage and the restaurant industry. Her paycheck goes towards her personal expenses and savings. Jessica said that her personal savings help her take out fewer loans for her tuition, creating a smaller debt. Jessica balances sports, her classes, and working fifteen to
twenty hours a week. It is amazing to see how she manages so many things going on in her life at once. I, myself, am a student worker, working around 8 hours a week during the semester and full time during the summer break. I personally pay for all my tuition and personal expenses and this allows me to not have to take out as many loans. Most of my friends have jobs, either through the federal work study program, or jobs in the community, off-campus. Working students have become the norm; a way of life. We should all be grateful and considerate to our student workers. They take on a lot by balancing a class workload and a job at the same time. Many student workers also manage to balance work, school, and extracurriculars at the same time. These student workers graduate with volumes of life experience and skills that take them to great places. Indra Nooyi worked her way through college and is now the chairman and CEO of PepsiCo. Ronald Reagan paid his own way through college. Great things await the student workers of America.

We Asked, You Answered! Tuition is rising by about $1000. Meanwhile the summer tuition costs have dropped considerably. Share your thoughts with Schreiner’s change in price. I think a student’s tuition rate should be locked in during their freshmen year and not subject to change throughout the duration of their stay I would rather have it the other way. Summer tuition dropping is nice yet not all student use it. Not because they don’t want to but because the class option don’t cover specialty classes and only the common core. I believe summer tuition should go up while regular tuition drops. Its fair since if you complete summer tuition at schreiner you get a reimbursement back anyway. Tuition during the school year is far too much. Summer classes are not for everyone. While I agree that the tuition drop makes summer school more appealing, a student should weigh all the pros and cons before enrolling for the summer. Remember, it’s the same amount of material covered in a shorter amount of time than regular semesters. Be prepared for the denser workload. Sucks s***! I feel the price drop is important so more students can afford to come and go to school and I understand that the money to offset the costs of staff and utilities needs to come from somewhere, but it’s still a bummer. Will help me graduate quicker!

Alyssa, I’m so proud of you for your AMAZING senior show!!! you have been the best roommate ever, and I will miss you sooo much when you graduate. I love you!
1000 dollars extra pushes students out of the university. That is $1000 more than I planned on originally therefore I will need to begin planning for that in order to pay tuition on time. That’s not fair to the students that do not take advantage of summer courses. Not happy at all!
Are you confident that you will be able to secure a job when you graduate school?
You send the best memes!!

Spring Broke “You have one business on earth – to save souls.” Above is a quote from John Wesley about our purpose in Christ. It always amazes me how such a simple concept can also seem so daunting. But if “saving souls” is our “one business,” why does it seem so hard to share Christ with others? Think about this: How many times have you shared the gospel this week? This month? How about this year? For the many Christians, the answer is, “I haven’t.” If we believe Jesus is the only way, and if He called us to follow Him and make disciples, why does it seem so hard? The answer is this: “What if.” These are the two most powerful and destructive words in the life of every Christian. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were tattooed on Satan’s tongue! Satan’s number one priority is to convince us into following our own way rather than THE WAY. After all, he is the father of lies. For example, Mark 16:15 tells us to “go out and preach the gospel to all of creation,” and Jesus says in Mark 16:16 that, “all who believe and are baptized will be saved, but all who do not believe will be condemned.” So His command is simple: Preach the gospel, and every one who would simply believe will be saved. And yet, the majority of Christians are not sharing the good news of Jesus Christ. Why not? Again, the answer is this: “What If.” What if they think I am weird? What if they reject me? What if they say no? What if they don’t like me after I talk about Jesus? What if I embarrass myself in front of everyone.? What if I pray and nothing happens? What if someone gets mad? What if…. “What if ” is Satan’s tag line, and he whispers it into our hearts every day. And you know what? It works. At the root of every wasted opportunity and every feeling of failure, is a time when God was tugging on your heart to
Tuition
be true, Schreiner should compensate by raising the scholarship awards. If the tuition rate is not fixed when the student enrolls, then the presidential and trustee’s scholarship amounts should also rise for all students. Currently, these amounts are fixed when the student enrolls, and are awarded based on student performance for up to 4 years of enrollment. Student Tylor Townsend talked to me about how he had just made arrangements to afford school thorugh to graduation, and now he had to figure our how to cover these extra costs on his bills. “When students arrive on campus, they should set fixed tuition rates at enrollment. I am from a low income family, and to come up with additional money that was not in the budget makes everything more difficult, “ Townsend said. “Also, I expect to see more improvements in Flato if we have to pay more to live there.” I couldn’t help but notice also that the cost of summer tuition has decreased dramatically, a service that only a fraction of students use. I understand this plan was to help encourage more students to use summer classes to advance their academic
By Emily Treibs, Co-Editor What is your first impression of the infamous phrase that has become colloquially synonymous with college student heaven? Debauchery? Freedom? Memories? Friends? Maybe it is “doing absolutely nothing.” Or perhaps even “bacchanal” comes to mind. Whatever your particular perception of Spring Break is, the societal negative connotation is certainly a growing force. Spring Break has long since been the (much-needed) hiatus from school for students of all ages, but especially recently, college students have been claiming the week-long respite—and the beach— for their own. This phenomenon is causing backlash and worry; older generations are once again confused and upset by the behavior of college-age people. Sean Hannity claimed it is “a parent’s worst nightmare” and that Spring Break is “out of control.” And that was two years ago; the week of fleek has garnered more momentum (and more criticism)
speak, and you chose to follow Satan’s “what if ’s”rather than God’s. I know, because I’ve done it too. The reality is, all Satan can do is intimidate us. He cannot stop us from sharing our faith, from being faithful, from walking in the Spirit, or from seeing the fullness of God’s power and glory in our lives. He cannot stop the power of the word of God, so he has to intimidate us with his “what if ’s” in hopes that we will hide in our fear and flee… Unfortunately, it works. The only thing standing between us knowing God intimately, the only thing between us and the salvation of others, and the only reason we so often walk away is the fear of what may happen. But these are not the only “what if ’s” available to us. We as Christians need to relearn the meaning of faith. We need to rise up and reject the lies of Satan and ask the “what if ’s” of the Kingdom. I want you to be honest with yourself and think about every time you didn’t pray with someone, every time you didn’t mention Jesus, and every time you chose to walk away from a situation because of fear, and as you remember these situations and imagine similar ones in your future, I want to ask you this: What if you shared the gospel with just one person a day? What if everyone in your family heard the gospel? What if everyone in your dorm heard the gospel? What if even one person was saved? What if you prayed for healing, and the Lord healed? What if you asked for something great, and God gave it? What if you gave Jesus your all, because He gave all for you? These are the “what if ’s” we need to ask and hope for. Not the “what if ’s” of fear, butthe “what if ’s” of the Holy Spirit. 1 Timothy 2:4 says that God “desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth,” but they have to first hear His word, and there are peo- By Rebekah Gardea, ple in your life who need to hear it from Student Reporter YOU.

since then. The most emotional arguments against partying during Spring Break come not from overbearing radio show hosts or imposed morality, but from a place of worry. Safety is certainly a concern; but it is not to be forgotten that these wave-like gatherings are comprised of consenting adults. Society has a tendency to treat our college-aged students like children who have to be constantly monitored. This mentality is, frankly, ridiculous; especially considering the amount of debt these adults hold. According to The College Board, the average person who attended a four year public college owes $25,600 in student loan debt. That is a public college. Thanks to grossly unchecked inflation, the price of attending a private college has climbed by 146%, and 225% for a public one. So, it can be assumed that the rampup of the parties matches the existential dread. When anxiety grows, so does the need for an outlet; when all of these factors are taken into consideration, one has to ask: is Spring Break really such a problem?

Olivares. “Well, all bread except for holy bread, that is,” he adds with a grin. “I’m trying to spend thirty minutes to an hour each day without distractions or homework or electronics,” states junior Jacob Naron. “I spend time just chilling or reading the Bible.” “I gave up judging people,” says freshman Viviana Bustamante. “Lent is supposed to be a time where you dedicate yourself to God, so I chose to use this time to focus on thinking before I make snap judgements.” Lent is not just a time to relinquish distractions and old habits, however. Lent is a time to pursue new qualities and a new understanding of God. Participants read through devotionals and take on extra prayer time, all with the goal of bettering themselves and their relationship with Christ. “Lent is one of the most self-reflective times of the year,” says Martin. “You think about what’s wrong with you, or what you should be, a lot throughout the year, but Lent gives you a reason to take steps toward improving yourself.” Maybe you have celebrated Lent your whole life. Maybe Lent is something you have never given a second thought. Everyone can learn something from the practice of Lent, however, regardless of their walk of life. In the midst of the chaos that we know as college life, taking the time to rest and reflect can be welcoming and refreshing. Sometimes all we need is a reminder, like Lent, to do so.

Dorm Cooking: Miniature Oreo Cakes
By Rebekah Gardea, Student Reporter I don’t know about you, but I love birthdays. When I moved into my freshman dorm, though, I no longer had a kitchen to make cakes for my friend’s birthdays. So, I started making these miniature Oreo birthday cakes, and they’ve been a hit! Whether or not you have a kitchen, this is a super fun, adorable spin on cake that will leave your friends and your taste buds smiling. Miniature Oreo Cakes Yield: About 15 Ingredients: 1 package of Oreo cookies, any flavor 1 can of frosting, any flavor Decorations (you can use anything from sprinkles to chocolate chips to M&M’s) Card stock (if I don’t have card stock I’ll just cut up paper plates) Directions: 1. Cut 15 circles out of card stock that are just a little larger than the Oreos. These will serve as a base to help you hold the cakes as you frost them. 2. Take out an Oreo and apply a thin

viewer is going to think of a moral on their own accord, and think of a current issue that the plot can apply to.” He recalled reading the play for the first time in high school in an earlier translation under the title The Firebugs. “When I first read it, I thought it was an allegory for bullying, because everyone sees something going wrong, and some people are speaking up about it, but our lead does nothing even though he has the power to take matters into his own hands. Biedermann seemed like the human embodiment of the bystander effect.” Upon conducting further research into the play, Olivares discovered the original, intended moral of the story. “It’s an allegory for World War II, and how you could be as kind and sweet and polite as you want to the Nazis, but they’re still going to follow orders. I didn’t see that at first, but when I did the research, it clicked with me.” When asked why he chose to direct the Arsonists as his senior project, Olivares said, “Sophomore year was when I locked this in, simply because I like the play. I think it can be applied to a lot of situations, and I wanted to do this. I was not anticipating it being as topical as it is right now. We are living in very polar-

Place another Oreo on top of the first frostingcovered Oreo. 4. Repeat steps 2-3 with all the cookies and put them in the fridge for at least an hour, to let the stacks harden together. 5. Take the cookies out of the fridge and hold one by the card stock circle. Frost the entire cookie stack so that it looks like a small round cake. Repeat with all the stacks. 6. Decorate the cakes! Scoop frosting into a plastic bag and pipe a border around the top, add sprinkles or candy... the possibilities are endless! 7. Put the cakes in the fridge at least 12 hours, preferably overnight. This will let the frosting soak into the cookies a little in order to give them a cake-like texture. 8. Serve and enjoy!

Continued from front page izing times, and I feel like because people are so caught up in the differences, we’re not focusing on things that are threats to everyone. There are some issues that should not be considered partisan, which complacency will allow to become dangerous. The two antagonists of the play seem harmless. They’re doing a lot of suspicious stuff, but are kind, and for the most part they’re polite. There was no immediate threat, per se. It is letting things get out of hand that is dangerous. “What makes me most excited about The Arsonists,” says Olivares, “is that it’s my senior thesis, and the cast and crew consist of friends that I’ve made here, throughout my four years as a Schreiner student.” The Arsonists closes the Schreiner theatre season this weekend, April 7th and 8th at 7:30 pm, and April 9th at 2:30, with the house opening thirty minutes early on all three days. In addition to the students mentioned previously, The Arsonists features Harley “Prince” Maldonado, Lillie Camacho, Kaitlyne Seiver, and Evan Vera. Admission is free to Schreiner students, although donations are appreciated.

By Marty Garcia, Editor-In-Chief Yum! I was able to experience Thai O’cha for the first time a couple of weeks ago, thanks to my friend Dena McCain (you’re so awesome!) I have been wanting to try more Asian foods recently, and this place was a revelation to me about the culinary diversity of Kerrville. On a small bend on Water Street, Thai O’cha sits right by the Guadalupe River in a historic mansion. Entering the front doors, the smell of spices and fried goodness blanketed me and my nostrils. The friendly hostess took us both to the open patio, where we talked and watched the river flow along. We even saw a painter set up his easel on the other side of the river. Dena recommended the “salad bar” as an appetizer, which is part fruits and salad, part soup, and part fried bites. I got some egg drop soup and fried carrot sticks, alongside some orange slices. The soup was very tasty, but not too heavy. I liked the thick consistency of the soup, and it paired nicely with the fried carrot stick things. As an appetizer, it sure did leave me excited for the entree.
As a note, most of what is served here is gluten-free, even the noodles. So when the meal of Chicken Pad Thai came before me, I will admit the transparent noodles were a little disconcerting. Usually healthy food tastes like cardboard to me. However, the rice noodles stir-fried with chicken and spices was amazing! I will not be ashamed to admit I ate most everything on the plate. And the best part about it- the food did not weigh me down later! Dena and I went on to work on a partner project for a couple of hours after lunch, and I was not sleepy or bogged down at all. Overall, I give Thai O’cha a 4.5 out of 5 for cleanliness, great service, great tasting and healthy food, and plenty of options for people of all tastes or dietary needs. I do take off half a point because of the cramped parking and dark interior of the house when we entered, as well as a higher average price per meal that students may be discouraged by. However, the lunch specials are definitely worth it, and you will probably get enough to take some home! For the next time, I will definitely try the Green Curry, another highly recommended plate.
By Rebekah Gardea Student Reporter This week, America recognizes a special group of people through National Student Employment Week—student employees! Maybe you have a job on or off campus, or maybe you are still looking for a job. Whether you are currently searching for employment or know you will be again in the future, these interview tips are sure to help you out! 1. Do Your Research Whether you are interviewing for a job at a fast-food restaurant, an engineering firm, or anything in between, research is a critical component to interview success. Make sure you know the details of the job you are applying for. Find out a little about the company’s history. Look at job forums to find potential interview questions or topics. Keep in mind, however, that companies do research on you too. While you are online doing your research, take a moment to make sure your social media pages contain no red flags. 2. Prepare and Practice Confidence is key during any interview, and a key source of confidence is knowing you are prepared. Ask someone to “interview” you for extra practice. Make sure you have a professional, clean outfit prepared and laid out the night before. Eat a healthy meal before the interview and get plenty of sleep the night before so you are feeling your best. You can only
underprepare, so plan as much as you feel that you need to. 3. Arrive on Time Many people equivocate arriving to an interview early with being conscientious and prepared. However, arriving too early can be as uncomfortable, just as arriving too late can be inconsiderate. The perfect solution? Aim to arrive 5-10 minutes early, unless otherwise requested. This allows time for any unexpected occurrences, and you arrive looking conscientious and prepared. 4. Write a Thank-You Note Everyone appreciates feeling appreciated. Writing a thank you note to your interviewer will help them remember you in a positive way, and will help you stand out among other candidates. 5. Be Confident! As mentioned before, confidence is a vital component of a good interview. Don’t be arrogant, but do take pride in your accomplishments! Walk into the interview with your head held high, look your interviewer in the eye, and be confident in your ability to succeed. Confidence is noticeable, and will help you make a great impression. Hopefully these tips help you in your current or future search for employment! Happy National Student Employment Week! Editor’s Note: See Campus Opinions for more tips for interview success from your peers. Good luck!

Remembering the Fallen
By Alyssa Cole, Editor’s Apprentice In August of 2016, I started this article and my research because I believed that we should be aware of those who have fought for this country and how our great University played a part in their lives. This also respectfully shows their families and the community at large that we have not forgotten what they did for us. My articles are solely based upon research that I do about the individuals whose names are listed on the veterans’ memorial wall that is located in the commons. I hope to have written or featured every name on the wall in issues of The Reveille by the time I graduate in May 2019. There are around 103 names on the wall. So far in my research about these individuals, I
have learned a great deal about the history of Schreiner and Schreiner alumni. I have also spoken with some amazing people who grew up on the Schreiner grounds and personally knew some of the veterans. The stories shared with me by these people are a large part of Schreiner history, which is so valuable. As a full-time student, it can be challenging to complete all of the research that is needed to write this article. If anyone is interested in learning more about some amazing Schreiner alumni who fought for our country, or would like to help me preserve a part of our University’s history, get more information about helping me continue my research for this article by contacting me by email at ALCole1143@schreiner.edu.

What Do You Hope to Accomplish this Year?
Here at Schreiner, we are taught to go above and beyond, to think outside the box, and to expand our skills and talents for ourselves, the community, and our continually changing world. Schreiner has personally taught me how to do all this, and I was curious about how others felt, too. I interviewed four students, one in each classification, and one faculty member. Each interviewee inspired me to think about what I want to accomplish this year, and I hope this will help you, the reader.
By Mikaela Sebastyn , Student Reporter
“In this next year I want to focus on my networking and communication skills. I plan to apply for and attend the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities’ Conference in California this upcoming October. This will take a lot of preparation as well as saving money-wise but I am determined to go. I am excited about the whole experience and the doors this conference can open for me.” -Jessie Leal, Freshman, Political Science, Pre-Law
“This year I hope to accomplish many things. Graduating from Schreiner with my BA in Environmental Biology is at the top of the list, along with starting a career that I find personally fulfilling and contributes greatly to our society. I hope to learn new lessons that teach me to enjoy life in every aspect.” -Jessica Lesley, Senior, Biology
“This summer I plan on traveling to Claremont, CA, to attend the Keck Graduate Institute (KGI) Summer Explore MED Program. The program is a two-week residential program of classroom and experiential learning to help students investigate what it means to be “pre-med.” I believe this program will be a good learning experience and help me for my future medical career journey.” -Jamison Lee, Sophomore, Biochemistry, Pre-Med
“During this coming year, I hope to have the opportunity to travel and go on an adventure!!!! In all the craziness that happens during the school year, we often forget to take time for ourselves and appreciate the little moments. Therefore, I would love to travel with some friends and create unforgettable memories to look back upon after I graduate.” -Jahnvi Besherdas, Junior, Biology, Pre-Med
“This year I hope to start (and finish) all of the updating and remodeling that needs to be done to the house my wife and I just bought. It is our first house and we are excited to make it our own and become a more permanent part of the Kerrville community.” -Kelsey Penn, M.Div. Coordinator of Purposeful Lives
MONTY’S MONTAGE
Building led by my choir director and music professor, Mr. Michael Kahl. We began in the new rehearsal room that is located on your immediate right as soon as you enter the building. The rehearsal room is a great, large room equipped with countless instruments, speakers, computer with projector and screen, and overhead microphones that connect to the professional recording studio on the second floor. We then proceeded to see the rest of the first floor. Professor Kahl took us to what is called the library; a full room dedicated to holding all the sheet music for both choirs, orchestra, string ensemble, and basically any music producing group on campus. We then passed by the eight soundproof practice rooms, some equipped with pianos. All practice rooms are free to use for all students between the hours of eight a.m. to eleven p.m. Lastly, on the bottom floor, there is the classroom that will be used for most introductory music courses (such as music appreciation). We then climbed the stairs up to the second floor that, for the most part, contains professor offices, except for the two outstanding jewels of the “bowtie” building. A professional recording studio with

professional equipment is housed to the left of the stair landing. The microphones that I previously mentioned that hang from the ceiling of the rehearsal room downstairs connect to the professional equipment in the studio. During the rest of our rehearsal, a trained professional recorded us from the second floor while we were singing in the downstairs rehearsal room. The neighboring room is another classroom. Instead of desks, however, it is filled with nine keyboards to be used for a new group novice piano class that begins next semester. This music facility was in the works for quite a long time and will make music education for Schreiner students much easier to attain. Professor Kahl stated, “We [the music department] are very grateful for the people who made this building possible. Namely Dr. Summerlin, who has been supportive of music program for many years.” Also be on the lookout for information regarding the spring choir concert on April 23, 2017, at 6 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church (Free admission!). Suffice it to say, this new music facility will enable the blossoming music community of Schreiner and Kerrville to continue to crescendo.
