One More Interview With Dr. Summerlin
By Houston A. Glover, Student Reporter He is arguably the most highly regarded member of the Schreiner University community. A man who, over his fifteen years as president, has spearheaded the development of The Schreiner Experience; overseen the genesis of the living and learning communities; connected with thousands of students, faculty, and staff on an individual level; and inspired each and every one of them in a way only he could. He made such an impact on this campus that
the new music education hall that stands between Hanszen Fine Arts and the Edington Gym has been named after him. As iconic and influential as his time at this university was, however, Dr. Tim Summerlin announced last spring that he would be retiring at the end of the following academic year. My friends and readers, this is Dr. Summerlin’s last month at Schreiner. As a Schreiner Reveille tribute to the former President, I recently had the honor of sitting in an interview with Dr. Summerlin Continued on page 5
On-Campus Housing Crisis
By Amber Harris, Student Reporter Life in a residence hall or apartment can either be the best experience ever or a total nightmare. There have been different methods of assigning housing here at Schreiner. In the way past, an alumni told me it was first come, first serve and students had to get in a line to reserve their housing. Because students would often miss class for this, the system was changed to the lottery system; only the lottery system wasn’t like what it was this year. Instead, students would be given a number and wait in room. Their numbers would be called in a purely random fashion and the students would go into a room, look at a map of available rooms, and write in their names. This year, things were done a little differently. Paws Portal was the method for sign up. The system worked by method of seniority
(just like the lottery system) with those with the most credit hours being the first to sign up. The Paws Portal method seems like a great idea, but there are some flaws. For one thing, it is terrifying for those who missed the deadline to retain their room. There isn’t a face-to-face interaction option to sort things out, but rather a menacing screen staring back at you, and if you have the technology skills of your grandparents (just as I do), this isn’t the most encouraging situation. Next, there isn’t a way to accurately know what students’ second options are. For example, four freshman girls wanted to live in the Oaks together. They listed a four room apartment in the Oaks as their first choice, and then PG as their second choice. If the girls do not get into the Oaks, and because PG offers two four-person Continued on page 8

By Natalie Raper, Student Reporter Tuesday, April 25, 2017, was the Student Leadership Awards Banquet. I had the pleasure of seeing many deserving members of the Schreiner community receive awards. The night started off with a mixer and then we were lead into the ballrooms for a fantastic meal and conversation with the rest of our tablemates. Afterwards awards were given out by Dr. Goodwyn MCing. Below is a list of award recipients: Recognition of Valedictorian (presented by Dr. Comuzzie): Sarah Wood Recognition of Student Government Association (Presented by Dr. Hueber): Dalton Reid Student Senator of the Year (Presented by Shayla George): Jessie Leal RA of the Year (Presented by Sarah Campfield): Alliona Fay Student Ambassador of the Year (Presented by Amber Bernhard): Sarah Higgerson Servant Leadership Award (Presented by Kelsey Penn): Claire Lewis Campus Ministry Leadership Award (Presented by Gini Norris-Lane): Jacob Naron

By Sydney Churchill, Staff Secretary We’re almost there. If you haven’t yet, feel free to start counting down the days to summer because it’s practically here. As I began to think about what I plan to do this summer, I started making a bucket list of things to do in my ideal summer vacation. Here are some bucket list ideas and inspiration that I found when writing my bucket list: Go to a concert! Whether you’re into country, EDM, or jazz, you’re sure the find a concert to fit the bill. Check your local city’s listings or maybe check out a local artist playing in the park! Hit up the beach or the river! I guarantee 90% of us will be at some body of water this summer. Whether it's the Guadalupe River or the Gulf, remember to practice safety first and apply sunscreen regularly and don’t go past your limits. Going on unpopular days
will ensure that there will be little to no crowds. Home movie night! Catch up with friends over summer with a home movie night. Whether you set up a sheet in the backyard and grab a projector or you all crowd around the laptop on the couch, don’t forget to grab snacks. Popcorn is always a necessity but don’t forget lots of soda! Go on a day road trip! Texas is full of unique places that are great to take a day trip too! Maybe check out Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo. It’s a really cool and unique art piece on the side of the road made of graffiti-covered cars sticking up out of the ground. Great for Instagram photos! Take a hike! There are lots of places to choose from in the area. Many locations have trails ranging in difficulty but all of them have great photo opportunities.

OPINION
What is the defining characteristic of Jesus? Many people look to Jesus as someone who excelled in giving. They see Him as a man who loved, spoke peace, and sacrificed for what He believed in, even sacrificing His own life. This is all certainly true, but what I want to encourage you to do is to take another look, a different perspective, on the character of Jesus. Jesus wasn’t just a giver; He is one who holds NOTHING back. We are given this as an example in His humanity, His lifestyle, and His death. The humanity of Jesus Christ itself is a mind-boggling reality that we so often take for granted. The Son of God, the very Word of Yahweh, “became flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:14). To do this, God emptied himself of all the glory, worship, and wonder of who He was and through Mary, and the Holy Spirit, came to us as a man. For 30 years He lived in the humiliation of lowliness, as a carpenter of Nazareth, who hungered and thirsted, became tired and weary, and who felt every ounce of the temptation of Satan; as it says it Hebrews 4:15, He “was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.” Only in His last 3 years of life, did He teach and minister openly as the Messiah. Because of this, He not only fulfilled God’s law, but He showed that would hold nothing back of who He was for our sake, even willingly taking the reproach of man onto Himself. Jesus didn’t just come to check the “I was human” box. He came to live a life of sacrifice. Think about that. He didn’t come so he could serve as He lived, He lived, only so He could come and serve. Jesus gave up EVERYTHING and held back NOTHING in His pursuit of loving His people, and declaring the truth. As He states Himself, “the Son of Man has no-
where to lay His head” (Matt. 8:20), and as it says in Isaiah 53:3 that “He is despised and rejected by men.” Jesus held nothing to Himself. He gave up His glory, He gave up His reputation, He gave up His home, His finances, and anything that we might hang onto in the life, He gave up willingly, and held nothing back from full surrender to the Father. This final testing is seen as Jesus was betrayed, arrested, tortured, and killed, by being nailed, as a cursed man, on a wooden cross. And in all this, He did not hold back anything from us or from the Father, not even His own life. Twice in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus makes astonishing statements. First saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not My will, but Yours, be done” (Luke 22:43; and then, in Matt. 20:53-54, He says, “Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels? But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?” At both points Jesus denies Himself any authority over His life or will as a man, which He could at any point as God, have taken up for Himself. And He did all these things, for our sake. The character of Christ most in need of our attention, is not just that he was good, or peaceable, or loving, but also that in His life, He HELD NOTHING BACK, either from the people or from the Father. What are you holding back from Christ today? What thing, relationship, lifestyle, or desire have you held back from Jesus? Today I encourage you surrender those things to the Lord, and as you are surrounded by others, I encourage you to have an open heart and open hands, holding nothing back from those whom the Lord has put into your life. As He desire for us to “be perfect, therefore, as you heavenly Father is perfect.”

My Suggestions for Your Summer of
By Natalie Raper, Student Reporter
Binging
Towards the beginning of April, the beloved Netflix took many notable titles away. It seemed that this round of cuts was particularly brutal, featuring classics such as Superman movies. Unfortunately, I had to say goodbye to some of my all-time favorites like Ferris Buellers Day Off, The Princess Bride, and (I’m not ashamed to admit that I actually watch this,) Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Also at some point, Another Cinderella Story disappeared from the listings at which my roommate nearly cried. But as the saying goes, when one series disappears, another appears, on the ‘suggested for you’ tab—or something like that. Just in time for summer break, here are some great additions made to the Netflix streaming catalogue. New additions: Slam- This Netflix original movie is about a boy who turns to a memoir about his idol, Tony Hawk, for life advice when he becomes a teen father. Originally in Italian with English subtitles, this movie features dry humor and would be great for anyone looking for a romance or for anyone looking for relatable characters that also don’t really know what they want from life.
Vampire Diaries- The seemingly never ending saga of the Salvatore brothers is wrapping up, meaning summer is the perfect time to binge all eight seasons. If after that you can’t get enough of Mystic Falls and all things supernatural, there’s a spin-off called The Originals which is contains the same nail biting cliff hangers, backstabbing betrayals, and love triangles as the OG.
Some classics: One Tree Hill- This TV show revolves around a friend group and the drama each one goes through. My roommate is in love with this show and after watching what I have of it, I definitely agree with her opinion on it. OTH has nine seasons of straight up savage comebacks and epic plot twists that’ll make you never want to leave the sofa.
Jane the Virgin- After a mix-up at the doctors, Jane (a virgin) discovers she was accidentally artificially inseminated. This results in a hilarious TV show filled with miscommunications and stunning turns that’ll leave your head spinning. Be warned though, there are only two seasons on Netflix right now so pace yourself when watching this adapted telenovela. It is so easy to watch them all in one sitting, BUT DON’T DO IT. Speaking from personal experience, I can say that you will regret this later.
Shameless- A large untraditional family in Chicago are just trying to get by with some crazy tricks and scams. While this is a funny show, it also contains a sense of ‘real’ to the show that gives it substance. A growing attachment to the characters will leave you missing them when they’re gone and appreciate it when you have them. With six seasons currently available for streaming and another on the way, it’s a lot to watch.

In Review By Sydney Churchill, Staff Secretary Classics Burgers is an overlooked staple restaurant in Kerrville that excels in quality, price and service. But a great reason why you, the Schreiner student, should go to Classics is because you can have an amazing burger for a great price. Yes, a juicy delicious burger and only a five-minute drive away from campus. Though the exterior and interior are quite humble, the food and service really makes up for it. The restaurant's interior is covered with 50s and 60s memorabilia, so don’t be surprised if James Dean or Marilyn Monroe is looking down at your table. I’ve been eating at Classics for a long time, and before discovering the little restaurant, I hadn’t eaten a burger that wasn’t made by my dad for over eight years. Classics has a wide menu of selections but its main focus is burgers. My burger of choice is the original cheeseburger, but if you prefer something
with even more flavor I would definitely recommend the Bacon Swiss Mushroom Jalapeno Burger. Classics’ combos come with delicious fries which easily beat the cheap flimsy fries at fast food restaurants. They also offer other sides and appetizers such as fried okra (another personal favorite), fried mushrooms, and jalapeno poppers. The burgers made at Classics aren’t dry, the vegetables are always high quality, and the fries are to die for. Classics isn’t made for late time munchies as they close at 8pm Monday through Friday. Saturday they close early at 3 pm and they aren’t open Sundays. This is one of the few downsides of Classics that I’ve discovered in the four years I’ve been eating there. If you do stop by to check their juicy burgers, it’s best to bring cash. It’s much easier than using the ATM. These minor pitfalls are easily overlooked, however, because of what you get in return: a good meal and a chance to support a local business!

merlin to take a look back over the years, reflect on the present, and take a peek into the future. I opened the interview with the question, “What is your fondest memory of your time at Schreiner University?” Dr. Summerlin sat in silence for a second or two before speaking. Unable to narrow it down to one absolute favorite, he gave the following example: “Years ago, when I got to the office earlier than I do now, a young lady came by who had seen me driving onto campus. She came into the office and said, ‘I want you to know that when you saw me, I was going over to meet with a student group that meets in the mornings for a prayer service. And every day that we do that, we pray for you.’” He paused, remembering. “That floored me, to think that there is a group of students who are doing that. I cannot think of a better way to convey to someone, ‘You know, what you are doing in your work is important. Don’t mess it up, don’t do it halfway. ‘What your hand finds to do here, do it with your might,’” he punctuated, with a verse from Ecclesiastes. “That visit from that student in those words has always remained very strong with me.” We went on to discuss some of the challenges and triumphs of the last fifteen years at Schreiner. “The big challenge that we faced at the time that I became president was how to ensure a future by being financially solvent. Back in the year 2000, that was a real question, a real threat. We knew that at the heart of it, we had to grow, because a great deal of economic analysis has shown that smaller colleges of 700 or 800 students are a big risk. An economic downturn can start a spiral that they cannot recover from. We said that we cannot be one of those institutions.” As many of you may know, Schreiner surpassed 1200 enrolled students in 2015, a figure which Dr. Summerlin cited as having been a major goal in helping establish a stable future for the university. He also mentioned the difficulty that was the 2008 financial crisis: “To have made the kind of progress by that time, to enable us to go through some rocky waters successfully, I think was the best measure of how far we have come.” “What I’ll miss the most is what ultimately drew me to be interested in being a college president—an idea that, for many years, I resisted. For years I had what is a too typical attitude toward college presidents that many faculty members have. That is, just somebody who goes around talking to service league clubs, saying the same kind

of stuff, little PR puff pieces, things like that. But when I changed, I discovered that the further I went along in administrative work, and the more different constituencies that I had a responsibility to, the more I enjoyed it.” Before he became interested in administration, Dr. Summerlin had
the resources to be much more than they were.” Finally, I asked Dr. Summerlin what he was looking forward to most in retirement. “The most immediate thing, and a thing that I am very much looking forward to, is that this summer is our 49th wedding anniversary, and we are
plans to teach for the duration of his career, but discovered it wasn’t for him. “What I learned about myself is that, ‘Tim, that’s not your temperament. You need to have a lot of different tasks that you’re tending to, you need to move back and forth between different audiences. Be the college president.’ And particularly, being one at a place like Schreiner. The fact that I could understand my job as relating to the people that I worked with, the senior administrators, but also having that relationship with faculty, having a relationship with students, the board, the donors—that multiplicity of connections is much better suited to my personality. I discovered that this was absolutely the right place and the right job for me.” Here I turned the conversation to the present, and specifically to the music building. I asked Dr. Summerlin what his thoughts were on its being named after him. “That, of course, is just such a huge honor. Learning that the board had made that decision, totally by surprise…” He went on to point out the ways in which the music program as a whole captures the relationship between Schreiner and the community. “We can think of the symphony, and that’s one grand way, but also, take the choral groups that we’ve got. Very few people have any idea how much those groups do in the course of the year, going around the community singing, volunteering. That is a big way this university shows that it is a part of the Kerrville community. In many ways, the music program lives out the experience of the whole university, and now they have
going for two weeks to Italy. We and our children, and their spouses, and our grandchildren are going to take over a little farmhouse and just spend some time.” Dr. and Mrs. Summerlin have family in Italy, and have formed many fond memories through their visits there, but this will be the
first time they forgo the tourist attractions and big cities and have a nice, relaxing stay in the country. Beyond that, Dr. Summerlin says that he “hopes not to rust,” and that he does not look to retirement as “a wonderful time to do nothing.” Specifically, he looks forward to having time to do some writing. “Topics are different, but one of them is—I want to write about family…there is a whole lot there that fascinates me.” Dr. Summerlin will be taking a lot of Schreiner memorabilia with him when he retires from his current position as Chancellor—trophies from the various organizations he’s been involved with, baseballs from the times he’s thrown the first pitch at Schreiner games, and an awful lot of t-shirts—but the most treasured thing he will take with him seems not to be any physical souvenir, but what all those souvenirs represent: the great collection of memories he has made with the people of Schreiner over the years. In closing, I would like to speak directly to Dr. Summerlin, on behalf of all Schreiner students. Sir, like that young lady who entered your office on that winter’s morning all those years ago, we are praying for you, and we wish you all the best in the next chapter of your life. We are proud that we could be here for this iconic period in Schreiner’s history. Good luck, sir, and God bless.

apartments that fill up quickly, does housing put the four girls together in Flato or split them up in groups of two in PG? A similar situation happened on campus, and the girls got the housing that wasn’t exactly good for them. Again, face-to-face interaction or a map of available housing would be beneficial. To add even more chaos to the system, there are many students, especially in the current freshman class, that don’t even have housing. This is because there is no room left. Maybe this has nothing to do with the housing sign-up system itself, but is possibly an indication that Schreiner needs another residence hall. Or maybe another solution to clear up space would be to allow more students to live off-campus. There are plenty of students who would like a house or apartment off-campus, but cannot get approved. Letting stu-

Continued from front page dents live off-campus would ensure more rooms would be available. Whether this issue is a result from the sign-up system or a result from lack of housing, it isn’t the best of situations. A solution to the housing assignment system might be to keep the online format, only incorporate a map to look at just like it used to be, where students can see what’s open and pick their first, second, and third choices in rooms. Or maybe there should be an online suggestion box where students can specify what exactly they want for first and second choice and elaborate more than the current options. Another solution would be to allow upperclassmen to live off-campus—or maybe the solution is to build more housing and give more options and prevent students from not having a room. Given that Schreiner has
most recently raised housing rates by over a hundred dollars, tuition by $900, and they continue to raise prices every year, it is safe to say that students deserve some sort of comfort in living, or at least the security of having a room. I realize every system has a flaw, and since this is a new way of doing things, there should be no blame to the Residence Life staff. In fact, I only see positive from them. My roommates got up early the day after our housing assignment to try and get things settled with our own housing issues, and Sarah Campfield was more than accommodating. She was organized with a huge stack of printed out emails on her desk, trying to get back to everyone. She was super nice and we definitely understood that she had no part in any of the mess-ups. In fact, Miss Campfield was trying
her hardest to accommodate everyone, which is not an easy feat. My experience with her was extremely positive, and not only did she help us with our problem, but went above and beyond. Now, it is understandable that not everyone can be pleased. Unfortunately, that is life, and this was a lesson that I’ve had to learn. However, I do know that the Schreiner Residence Life staff love the students and will try their absolute best to make things work out. If you currently don’t have a room, I assure you that rooms will open up and Schreiner will not leave you homeless. We are definitely in good hands, and no matter where you get placed, things always seem to have a way of working out so don’t fret over it too much.

Upon further research, he felt Schreiner was the best fit for him based on the student-teacher ratio and after visiting fell in love. After graduation, he plans to return to Houston and work for an optometrist as an optician optical associate, which is a technical assistant to the optometrist. He is going to do this for one year as a gap year and also take advantage of this time to study for the Optometrist Admissions Test (OAT), continue classes at Houston Community College, and would love to travel “when he has time and money- more specifically money.” Evan felt the pull to become in optometrist after learning from his father (who is also an optometrist and Evan’s role model) that he would never have to give a shot.

causing anyone physical pain appealed to him, and on top of that he would never have to deliver news that a patient was terminal which is also something that he enjoys. After learning more about it his appreciation for sight grew. “Vision is amazing it’s- beautiful, incredible.” He would like to foster a relationship with his patients on a family level that would create lifelong customers which he feels is unique to Optometry. Evan is an introvert, but Schreiner helped him become more involved and in his own words: “it’s helped me become who I am.” He suggests that others take the opportunity of new found independence and try many new things to become who you want. He also encourages others to try things they may not even think they’d enjoy and to make the best of the opportunities life hands them because you never know where that could bring you.

less population and engage issues of economic injustices.” She has kept feeling a pull to do service and figured after college would be the best time to do so because of the freedom she now faces. Claire also felt that this opportunity would be a good bridge between college and provide a break before committing to a job. One thing she is taking away from Schreiner and would suggest to others is to try the unknown. In Claire’s case, she walked into Schreiner thinking she was going to study abroad in Italy, but she took Spanish just to meet the requirements of a degree plan and ended up completely falling in love with it. This new passion lead her to continue her travels to a summer in Colombia instead of Italy. Her suggestion to others is that they also keep an open mind because their plans may change for the better.

By Natalie Raper, Student Reporter As graduation approaches, many seniors are gearing up for their life ahead of them and reflecting upon the past four years they’ve spent at Schreiner. Here are two Seniors’ stories: Claire Lewis: Majoring in Marketing and a minoring in Photography, from Medina, TX. After a recruiter went to Claire’s high school, she decided to apply and tour. While touring the campus she fell in love with it thanks to its atmosphere and student population. She felt this was the best fit for her and decided to give it a try. During her four years here, she has participated in the ACE learning community, been a PML, and held a work-study job—just to name a few things. After graduation, she is participating in a program called the Young Adult Volunteer Program and the DOOR Program.

For the third year, the Reveille Newspaper has organized the Senior Superlative awards. First seniors are nominated by their peers, then after accepting the nomination, a poll is cast where the whole school can recognize those seniors outstanding in their categories. Editor’s Note: This year, over 900 votes were cast. The results were very tight, and winners were elected within a difference of as small as 4%. Thanks to all who participated.
