Residents, city officials work together in crime prevention

By Keller Bradberry Life & Arts Contributor San Marcos residents and law enforcement are working toward building rapport through chili dogs and cake walks.

On the first Tuesday of every October the San Marcos community comes together to recognize National Night Out. San Marcos has been participating in this event for 35 years. National Night Out is a community-police awareness night. It is an opportunity for suburban communities to interact with city officials such as police officers or fire fighters.

Law Enforcement officers and community members met at El Camino Real Park 6:30-8:30 p.m. The friendly gathering included lawn chairs, food and festivities.

Bean bag tosses, cake walks and tours of police cars and firetrucks entertained guests.

The event is a celebration of trust and familiarity between public service and the community. It focuses on the revival of the old school of thought: knowing your neighbors.

Nahum Melendez, Police Chaplain, said he lauded the gathering for bringing the community together.

Student Service Fee revenue balloons to all-time high

By Sawyer Click Managing Editor Texas State's revenue from the Student Service Fee has ballooned to nearly $7 million due to years of recordbreaking enrollment and an increasing reserve fund.

The Student Service Fee is a mandatory fee that students pay in conjunction with tuition and 13 other fees. Its primary purpose is to allocate funding to student services, which are “separate and apart from the regularly scheduled academic functions of the institution and directly involve or benefit students," according to Section 54.503 of the Texas Education Code.

Out of these 13 fees, the Student Service Fee is the only one where students actually serve on the advising committee – and as a majority.

The Student Government president appoints six Student Government members to the Student Service Fee Advisory Committee, including an alternate member who would vote in the instance of an absent member. As mandated by the university’s policies and procedures for the committee, four administrators make up the rest of the committee, including the dean of students as the chair.

The fee begins at $10 per credit hour and caps at $90 for nine credit hours and up. The only students who don’t pay the fee are those exempt from tuition, like students utilizing the Hazlewood Act, a 1943 act that provides Texas veterans, spouses and dependent children with an education

benefit up to 150 hours.

The fee supports a range of campus initiatives, student organizations, scholarships, travel accounts, operations, faculty salaries and operations.

The Counseling Center, a Texas State office that provides group, individual and couples counseling to students, is projected to receive $1.18 million in

permanent funding from the fee for fiscal year 2019, totaling at nearly a sixth of the entire fund. Director of the Counseling Center Kathlyn Dailey said a majority of the Student Service Fee allocated toward the Counseling Center goes to salaries, nearing almost $1.1 million. The remaining amount, $80,000, is allocated as operating costs.

Award-winning author and poet joins Texas State faculty

By Brittlin Richardson Senior News Reporter Author and poet Naomi Shihab Nye has joined Texas State's creative writing faculty as a creative writing professor for two years to share her expertise with students.

For nearly 20 years, Nye read manuscripts for master's of fine arts candidates and has conducted many workshops and readings at Texas State. She has published 35 books and currently resides in San Antonio.

According to the Poetry Foundation, Nye has received the Lavan Award, the Paterson Poetry Prize, the Carity Randall Prize, and multiple Pushcart

Prizes, and has served in fellowships for the Lannan Foundation, the Guggenheim Foundation and the Witter Bynner Foundation. She also served as a chancellor of the Academy of American Poets for five years.

Her most famous volumes include Fuel (1998), 19 Varieties of Gazelle: Poems of the Middle East (2002), which talked about the Middle East and her experience as an ArabAmerican, and The Same Sky (1992) which represents 129 poets from 68 countries.

"I've always had a really positive feeling about [the creative writing] program at Texas State," Nye said.

"I'm very happy to be a visiting writer

this year and get to do workshops."

In the past, Nye has taught classes at the Michener Center for Writers at the University of Texas in Austin for over 23 years and is currently conducting a seminar open to multi-genre creative writing students at the Katherine Ann Porter House in Kyle. "[In these workshops], we have discussions and we look at people's work they bring," Nye said.

"Depending on how many people come, we look at as much work as we possibly can and discuss it while I make suggestions and talk about things (that matter) to me in the field."

FROM FRONT TITLE IX Texas State currently operates under the "preponderance of evidence" standard as outlined under Section 11.211-11.212 of the TSUS Sexual Misconduct Policy: "The Title IX Coordinator will make a written Finding as to whether: no reasonable grounds exist that the Sexual Misconduct Policy was violated and the matter is closed, or it is more likely than not that Respondent violated the Sexual Misconduct Policy, and the nature of the violation(s)."

Title IX Coordinator Ameerah McBride said under the proposed rules, the Office of Equity and Access, which houses Title IX, would not be obligated to investigate a claim unless a formal complaint is made. Currently, Title IX is required to investigate all claims made to its office, whether formally or not. The University Star reported in April 2018 there were nearly 50 Title IX reports made at Texas State to the Office of Equity and Access during the 2017-18 school year. "[Currently,] we get complaints from resident assistants, faculty members, police officers and others," McBride said. "If the new rules the Department of Education are proposing come into play then we would only be able to receive complaints from a much smaller group of people."

McBride said the Texas State University System currently requires all faculty and staff, with few exceptions, to report instances of sexual misconduct, discrimination or harassment. Under DeVos's proposed rules, the only employees who would be considered responsible employees and have to report these instances would be those who could take corrective action, such as termination or expulsion.

For example, but not limited to, the Dean of Students' office would be required to report student violations and a chair of a department would be required to report faculty and staff violations, according to McBride.

"The system may say, 'We'll keep the rules (for responsible employees) in place,' or the system may say, 'We're

going to limit (the rules,)' but that's something they're going to have to decide at a system level," McBride said.

Texas State student Jane Smith said after her sexual assault in 2017, a faculty member she confided in reported the assault to the Office of Equity and Access. After being called to file a formal complaint with the office for investigation, Smith said she ultimately declined due to not wanting to face her attacker.

"I did not pursue (the) investigation after (Title IX) told me I was going to have to attend meetings which could possibly result in (my assaulter) being there. They told me there was very little they could do to protect me," Smith said. "Ultimately, I believe (DeVos') new possible rules would make it much harder for women to want to report."

As proposed, schools could choose whether to offer an appeal of the finding to the complainant or respondent.

Texas State currently allows appeals under Section 14.1 of the TSUS Sexual Misconduct Policy, which states either party has the right to appeal if dissatisfied with the outcome.

The rules would also change the definition of sexual harassment to “unwelcome conduct on the basis of sex that is so severe, pervasive and objectively offensive that it denies a person access to the school’s education program or activity.

Additionally, schools would only be responsible for on-campus sexual misconduct cases. McBride said Equity and Access, under the new proposed changes, would not be obligated to investigate off-campus misconduct.

Currently, Texas State is responsible for investigating reported sexual misconduct that happens on and off campus.

"Looking at our institution, where the majority of our students who are not first-year, first-semester freshman they're probably going to be off campus, so we're not investigating issues that occur off campus (under the proposed rules)," McBride said. "We're omitting a huge part of our population from getting a

resolution for handling those concerns.

That represents a significant departure from the work that we currently do."

Secretary DeVos stated September 2017 in prepared remarks at George Mason University the current Title IX system is failing victims, the accused and schools, and made it hard for lawyers to understand current rules.

"Every survivor of sexual misconduct must be taken seriously," DeVos stated.

"Every student accused of sexual misconduct must know that guilt is not predetermined. These are nonnegotiable principles. Any school that refuses to take seriously a student who reports sexual misconduct is one that discriminates. And any school using a system biased toward finding a student responsible for sexual misconduct also commits discrimination."

The proposed rules also include initiatives for the support of victims to ensure they stay in school including, "counseling, deadline extensions, changes in class schedules, campus escort services, mutual restrictions on contact between the parties, changes in housing, leaves of absences or increased security and monitoring," according to The New York Times article.

Alberto Betancourt, press officer for the U.S. Department of Education, stated in an email the changes to Title IX regulations have not been officially proposed.

"The Department encourages the public to check the Office of Management and Budget’s Unified Agenda website for updates regarding estimated publication dates for the Department’s notice of proposed rulemaking," Betancourt stated. "Once the proposed rule is published, it will be available on www. regulations.gov, including the deadline for the public to review and submit comments."

Reports of sexual misconduct, discrimination and harassment can be made directly to the Office of Equity and Access online or by phone at 512.245.2539.

Dailey said the Counseling Center has struggled with a staffing shortage as the student population has grown in the last few years. Though, the fund has allotted some new positions it hasn’t been enough to keep up with student demand.

“We have a small piece of additional funding that covers two salaries and a sliver of our operational funds,” Dailey said.

“We’ve been able to add one or two positions in the last few years, which feels really nice for us. When we request a position, most of it goes toward salaries. It might be easier to get (funding) elsewhere, but for now, it’s just hard.”

Vice President of Student Affairs Joanne Smith said her office breaks down the funding into different tiers: direct services, co-curricular, academics, scholarships, travel, operations, and personnel and administrative costs. Smith also said a majority of the fee covers salaries within departments, some of which, like the Counseling Center and Career Services, depend almost entirely on the fund.

There are two types of funding that derives from the fee: permanent and temporary.

Permanent funding is a consistent amount of money that organizations may expect every year as long as it is requested.

The committee can decrease the permanent funding by 10 percent each year, but cannot outright take funding away from any recipients. Primarily, permanent funding covers salaries and operating costs. Temporary, or one-time funding, is incidental and can only be requested for specific jobs or projects.

In the past few years, there have only been small increases to the permanent fund, which has slowed the growth of some dependent organizations and initiatives. In fiscal year 2017, requests for an increase in permanent funding totaled over $550,000. The committee approved $150,000, a 2-percent increase to the total budget. In the following year, fiscal year 2018, the committee approved $99,000 of the $387,215 in requests, a 1-percent increase to the total budget.

For the past 10 years, the revenue the university receives from the fee has grown by $1.9 million, primarily because of a reserve fund that reached $4.5 million.

As a result, Texas State University President Denise

Tr a u t h ordered the committee to create the Student Service Fee Reserve Plan for fiscal year 2018. This plan appropriated $2.45 million of the reserve funds toward onetime funding projects, with the remaining $2.05 million staying in the reserve account.

The committee meets in the spring of every year and goes over the requests for funding.

Adrian Cooper, biology senior and former member of the committee, was appointed by former Student Government President Connor Clegg after Clegg asked which of his Cabinet members wanted to be on the committee.

“Using precedent, the guidelines that we have, and the knowledge of the administrators on the committee, we determine how much an organization gets,” Cooper said. “There is a level of power to it, but it’s not something that really changes anything.

(The organizations) usually know exactly how much they need and how much they’re going to get. At the time being, unless something comes up, we generally allocate the same amount of funds.”

Funding for fiscal year 2020 will open in early January.

Applications can be found on the Student Service Fee Funding website.

BUTTERFLIES

San Marcos community fights for Monarch butterfly conservation

By Nathanael Lorenzo Life & Arts Contributor Recently, drivers speeding down the highway may have noticed an increase in butterflies tragically crossing through traffic. Luckily, Texas is attempting to save the lives of these beautifully winged insects.

The fall migration season has arrived for many different species of pollinators in the U.S. Around this time every year, the eastern population of Monarch butterflies begin to migrate from the Midwest and southern states toward the south of Mexico. Central Texas is part of the Monarchs’ spring breeding area, as well as their fall migration route.

Eric Weeks, habitat conservation plan specialist at the Discovery Center of San Marcos, said most of the eastern groups of Monarch butterflies travel through the I-35 corridor. There is a wide variety of Milkweed plants which butterflies use for food and to lay eggs along this route.

The largest issue is the amount of milkweed plants has begun to diminish through the use of herbicides, changes in agriculture and severe weather events caused by climate change.

This loss of habitat and resources has led to a decrease in the population of Monarch butterflies. The population has fallen by almost 90 percent in the past 20 years.

Because I-35 is one of the Monarchs’ main paths, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has continuously paid close attention to the area. With the sudden drop in Milkweed population, the FWS announced in 2016 the I-35 corridor would be targeted for recovery and conservation attempts in order to provide a habitat for Monarchs while they migrate south.

In order to draw attention to this issue, the Discovery Center of San Marcos is hosting its first Monarch Fest 9 a.m.

- 4 p.m. Oct. 13 at 430 Riverside Dr. The event will include family friendly activities, educational booths, food and drinks, music and giveaways.

The Monarch Fest will happen alongside the Discovery Center’s Native Plant Sale, where plants will be sold to help with the conservation effort for many pollinators in Central Texas.

“Specifically, for Monarchs, we carry eight different species of Milkweed because that is the only source of food for caterpillars," Weeks said. "That is where (the butterflies) tend to lay their eggs. Texas is home to 37 different species of milkweed.”

However, Weeks said this is not the only type of plant they are selling. The

Gregg’s Mist Flower will also be for sale.

It has benefits for other pollinators like Hummingbirds and Honeyeaters.

Craig Czarnecki, FWS technician, said there is a lot students can do for the area in regards to helping conserve wildlife.

“Students should consider planting local flowering (organisms) to help the Monarchs,” Czarnecki said. “By conserving their habitat, other plants and animals will benefit too.”

Growing different species of pollinating plants would be useful in maintaining and increasing the population of pollinators that help the local environment.

“There are certain flowers that are better for other species, because of the variety in pollinators," Weeks said.

"There are plants that are better for

mockingbirds and others that are better for bees and other insects."

Gabriella Solas, psychology freshman, said she plans on attending the Monarch Fest with her friends.

“I think it is cool there are more and more events trying to help the environment,” Solas said. “San Marcos is pretty reliant on nature. Things like the river and local plants are important here.”

The Central Texas area actively assists conservation efforts that help the local habitat, and Texas State students have participated in dozens of environmental events. The Monarch Fest is another step in helping the environment one butterfly at a time.

PEACE CORPS

The Peace Corps provides experiences abroad

By Lilith Osburn-Cole Life & Arts Contributor Traveling abroad can seem unattainable, but with proper guidance it it is possible.

Right under students' noses lies an opportunity to travel abroad. The Peace Corps is an option that allows students to travel abroad and engage on a grassroots level with other cultures.

The Peace Corps has been making its appearance known at Texas State by recruiting students and faculty to embark on life changing journeys.

The Peace Corps came to Texas State's nonprofit and government career fair Oct. 2.

Brendan Cavanagh, regional recruiter for the Peace Corps in Central Texas, has been working with the Peace Corps both abroad and domestically since 1999.

Cavanagh has been the local recruiter for three years and said he has noticed more awareness in regards to the Peace Corps on Texas State's campus.

“In the beginning, most people hadn’t heard of the Peace Corps," Cavanagh said. “There are still a lot of

misconceptions about it.”

Cavanagh said the presence of the Peace Corps has been more prominent on campus. However, he hopes for students to become more knowledgeable about it.

Cavanagh said the Peace Corps has three main goals: bringing technical assistance to communities served overseas, teaching host cultures about American lifestyles and bringing cultural awareness to Americans about these countries.

Cavanagh said some students are surprised the Peace Corps is a two year

commitment. However, the Peace Corps aims to make cultural connections on a grassroots level, which take time to develop.

“We are there to integrate (the Peace Corps) into the community,” Cavanagh said. “ We’re there to build capacity at the local level.”

Within the Texas State community, students have access to first-hand accounts from veterans of humanitarian services abroad.

PARANORMAL

New club investigates the paranormal

By Ryan Torres Life & Arts Contributor Disembodied voices, poltergeist activity and spooky folklore have brought a group of students together to share their love for the paranormal.

Paranormal Investigators is a new club on campus that welcomes students to share their thoughts and experiences about ghosts and ghouls. The club is open to anyone, skeptics and believers, who wish to share their different opinions on the topic.

Rae Glassford, English senior, is the president of Paranormal Investigators.

She originally came up with the idea for the club through her own curiosity about the paranormal.

Glassford said she and her friends would explore San Marcos' supposed haunted hot spots on and off campus.

She realized they could form a club focusing on these haunted happenings.

Three years later, she made the idea a reality.

"The overarching purpose of this club is to get people talking to each other about the possibilities of the paranormal," Rae Glassford said.

Paranormal Investigators is giving students the chance to work hands-on with enthusiasts of the supernatural.

This includes hosting excursions to local

spooky areas such as The San Marcos Cemetery, the Sheraton Gunter Hotel, the San Antonio Mission Trail and the Menger Hotel.

Potential discussion topics the club expects to have include the psychology behind the supernatural and The Legend of Pike House: a San Marcosrelated legend. Additionally, there will be discussions in Alkek 514, 7-8 p.m., every other Thursday. During these meetings, people can come together and discuss their own experiences with ghosts and legends.

Other club events will include guest speakers that are involved in the paranormal world. Speakers like Reverend Sheryl T. Martin, renowned medium, will have the opportunity to explain how she goes about conducting paranormal investigations.

Skyler Davis, psychology senior, said club members hope to explore the different ways of researching the possibility of the paranormal.

"I want to use actual paranormal equipment to go look for ghosts," Davis said.

Paranormal Investigators is planning possible fundraisers in The Quad. The funds would provide the club with necessary ghost-hunting tools such as EMF meters and EVP recorders.

President of the Paranormal Investigators Rae Glassford points officers Alex Moore and Henry Glassford Oct. 5 toward next paranormal excursion.

Henry Glassford, communications design freshman, said he has an interest in the possibility of the paranormal.

As a member of the club, he hopes to be influenced by the excursions and discussions that will take place during meetings.

"Personally, I'm a skeptic, but I'm very open to new experiences," Henry Glassford said. "That is why I joined (the club) to hopefully not be a skeptic anymore."

The club intends to spring further than the hallowed month of October and continue to meet throughout the full year.

Until further notice, the organization's meetings will be held every other Thursday starting Sept. 27.

Updates about the club can be found on its social media handles on Twitter and Instagram: @Ghoulgang_txst

Henderson, who is currently campaigning for place 5 in the San Marcos City Council, attended the event. Henderson said one of City Council’s many responsibilities is to ensure adequate police and fire protection and listening to the needs of homeowners.

“When citizens feel like they are part of a community, they just naturally become much more a part of it, and I think that’s what makes San Marcos so

unique," Henderson said. "No matter what the neighborhood, people really feel like San Martians.”

The annual event is a celebration of the small-town community sentiment where homeowners get to know their neighbors and local officials. Safety and comfort were marked as a priority of the town during National Night Out in San Marcos.

up opportunities for her after she retired from her service. She said serving gave her an understanding of different cultures and helped her become more aware of the world around her.

“When I went into the Peace Corps, I went from a very not diverse community to standing out in one," Hoff said.

Hoff said the Peace Corps was a completely different experience than her previous travels abroad.

“In the Peace Corps, you really get to learn (about) your community and understand people on a much deeper level," Hoff said.

Carole Martin, French professor, said she believes it is important for students to go abroad in a global world.

Martin is native to France and served in Pondicherry in Southern India, participating in the reforestation of The

Sadhana Forest.

She said serving communities abroad is a very enriching experience. She said people should go abroad with the notion they have the ability to serve and build a community.

“Cultural awareness has to do with facing the issues another culture has to deal with,” Martin said.

Serving others abroad gives people an opportunity to contribute to a global community. Whether it be the Peace Corps or other service organizations, students can start their journey to be part of the worldwide community.

If interested in the Peace Corps, contact Brendan Cavanagh at bcavanagh2@peacecorps.gov or visit peacecorps.gov for more information.

FROM FRONT COMMUNITY “There’s nothing better to refresh the soul," Chaplain said. "Nothing better to grow the bond between law enforcement and the community."

While National Night Out aims for suburban communities to create and maintain a safe and healthy environment for its residents, the event is also an open discussion for citizens to inquire about any safety concerns faceto-face with law enforcement and fire fighters.

Tony Scott has been a policeman for 11 years. He has helped organize his subdivision's National Night Out for the past four years. Scott said his subdivision utilizes an active community page on Facebook to communicate minor issues like trash cans and loose pets.

"It’s not police versus citizens, it's everybody working together to make this place safer," Scott said.

OPINIONS

Zach Ienatsch Opinions Editor @zachnatch

Students should have more say over tuition fees Just as voters have a stake in where their tax dollars go, students should receive the same courtesy with their tuition.

The average full-time student at Texas State will pay $9,348 per semester if the student is a Texas resident or $20,268 per semester if the student comes from out of state.

In this lump sum are 13 different fees in addition to the cost of class.

These fees include fees for the shuttles, recreation center and a $1 environmental fee.

Out of these 13 fees, only one fee, the student service fee, is under the jurisdiction of students on how it is delegated and spent. A Student Government committee comprised of appointees from the student body president act on behalf of the entire student body to budget this single fee, which is $10 per credit hour capped

at $90 per student per semester.

The student service fee covers all things on campus that are not directly tied to academics or another explicit fee. This fee pays for Student Government, guest lecturers, the career center, the counseling center, even The University Star and KTSW. Limiting students to have a say in only this single fee is a serious circumstance of representation given that students are fitting the bill for all fees. Additional student committees should be formed with the power of input on how more—if not all—fees are portioned and spent. Even if university administration has the final say, a seat at the table will only help students compared to the current system.

Furthermore, potential student committees with jurisdiction over fees—including the current student

service fee committee—should not limit its membership to Student Government. In theory, Student Government representatives speak on behalf of students as elected legislators. In practice, the governing bodies can only do so much.

For a more fair breakdown of representation on fee committees, student delegates from a diverse selection of student organizations and communities should have a voice in the process. Greek Life should have a representative. Student athletes should have a representative.

SCOPE, student media, resident assistants, orientation leaders and countless more organizations. Every sizable faction on this campus should have someone participate in this discussion, even if only in an advisory capacity.

Student organizations should have

more say in the fee distribution since the student service fee directly funds many organizations in the first place.

Their contribution to discussions of other fees would be equally strong as campus leaders who have shown they can collaborate with others and speak for the benefit of students.

Students are paying way too much money to not have the opportunity to voice their approval or disapproval in an appropriate, constructive channel. The way fees are assessed, collected and spent needs more oversight from the student body and the representatives charged with this stewardship and representation should reflect the values and perspectives of every single student, whether they be full-time, part-time, non-traditional or anything inbetween.

Dear Editor, A recent opinion piece in The University Star Volume 108, Issue 4 from Sept. 18, 2018, regarding parking issues on campus grabbed my attention. The piece claimed the solution to the lack of parking spots could be solved by banning freshman from parking on campus. I disagree with the opinion and several claims made in the article.

While it might be people’s opinions that green parking passes are overpriced, the simple economics of the issue make it clear that they are not.

The fact that a lottery is instituted for who received the green passes means that if anything, they are underpriced due to the demand being greater than the supply. Removing freshmen from this equation doesn’t guarantee there will be more green spaces available.

In 2017, there were more than 200 permits assigned to green spots than there were spaces for. This is because not every green permit user

Dear Editor, My family settled in Texas in 1851, and our roots run deep here. My great-great-grandfather was a Texas Ranger. My grandmother was a single mom in West Texas who raised my polio-stricken father after her husband died of cancer. She worked hard, asked for no handouts and became the first woman elected county clerk in her small town. My parents met and got married here, and recently celebrated their 50th anniversary in Austin.

I met my Aggie bride in Texas. My children were born here and my wife and I are raising them in the Hill Country. And when the good Lord calls me home, I hope to spend my final moments here.

Texans are truly unique. We cherish our identity and cherish the beliefs and ideas that have made Texas exceptional.

Strong families. Hard work. Limited government. Free markets that create opportunity and prosperity. A society that respects and upholds the rule of law. And the belief that we are created in the image of a loving God who views every life as sacred.

is on campus all the time, to get the most out of parking spots, the university must oversell them to gain maximum return from the cost of the infrastructure The claim that the solution to parking issues is to ban freshmen from having cars on campus is later contradicted by the idea of simply moving them to another, less convenient lot for the freshmen.

While freshmen might spend most of their time on campus, a lack of viable transportation options to neighboring cities makes it hard for students without cars to find work.

Texas’ capital region does not currently have the transit infrastructure needed to properly serve citizens at a regional and state level. Yes, students might be more inclined to explore San Marcos, but transit options to New Braunfels, Lockhart, Buda and Kyle are very limited. Until proper regional public transit options exist for those without vehicles, it is unfair to decide who needs and who doesn’t need cars.

The contradicting claim that freshmen should only be allowed to park near Bobcat Village parking lot P12 not only contradicts the main point of banning freshman parking but also is a worse allocation of Texas State University’s resources. While most commuter students only attend school three or four days a week, residential students are on campus every day. With the lack of public transit, having them first take the campus loop shuttle, then transfer to Bobcat Village shuttle would just clog the shuttle system if left as is.

Last week's opinion article about the overcrowding of the Bobcat Shuttles contributes further validation of this claim. During move in and move out weeks, this would only further complicate things as shuttles only run while classes are in session.

Furthermore, holidays such as Labor Day have no shuttle service.

Meanwhile, during these times, the parking garages sit unused. One of the biggest problems I have with the idea of moving the ever-growing freshman

class to the P12 parking lot is that the parking lot would only hold about 20 percent of the freshman class. The P12 Parking lot only has 1017 regular use spots, the most current freshman class was over 5,000, and growing every year.

In a more perfect world, the university and San Marcos would focus on issues such as density and walkability to better serve commuter students. Adding more parking would only contribute to the theory of “Induced Demand” where a resource or utility is expanded, it causes more usage than before and gives no relief to the past congestion or overuse.

The university is better served by partnering with San Marcos to give more transportation options such as the recent Veobike deal, Transdev (Bobcat Shuttle) and CARTS. San Marcos can also work to increase density via practices such as up-zoning, near campus to allow commuter students closer options to campus.

That’s why 1,000 people move to Texas every day. They want to be a part of the greatest state in the country.

We are leading the nation as a beacon of economic prosperity and liberty, but our shared Texas values must be defended if we want to preserve them for the next generation.

My opponent has attempted to brand himself as a moderate. He is not.

On the issues, which he proudly displays on his website, he advocates for socialized government-run health care that would cost nearly $32 trillion. He wants to impose a new, massive carbon tax on Texas families.

He believes the only reason anyone would use or own a weapon with a high-capacity magazine is that “he or she is seeking to commit mass murder and violence.” He supports radical gun control efforts to restrict the ability of law-abiding Texans to exercise their God-given right to protect themselves and their families. He is an advocate for increasing taxpayer funding to Planned Parenthood. And he believes in giving Washington control over your child’s education instead of empowering parents and local school districts.

These are beliefs vastly out of step with the majority of Texans, and most Americans. One would expect to hear this from someone in Hollywood or Brooklyn, not here in Hill Country.

This great state is the beating heart of liberty—not just here in America, but arguably in the entire world.

For the sake of our children and our grandchildren, we must see that it remains such.

I’m running not because I merely share these values with my fellow Texans, but because I will fight for them. I have done so throughout my entire career. I know that every vote cast is a vote that either expands liberty or diminishes it. Every vote cast, no matter how big or small, either puts more power in the hands of Texans or takes it away and puts it in the hand of unelected Washington bureaucrats.

We are a free people. That freedom requires constant defense and a constant renewing of the promise to hold our elected officials accountable.

We must make Congress work for us. That requires sending people to Washington willing to stand up for life, liberty and the fundamental belief that

self-government is best left in the hands of a diminished federal government so that a big and healthy civil society— where families, community, neighbors, churches, synagogues, charities—can flourish in its stead.

Texans believe in these things because we’ve seen it work firsthand. We’re the 10th largest economy in the world. We are blessed with abundant energy and natural resources. We’re the leader in job creation and opportunity. And we cling happily to our faith and our hard fought and hard-won constitutional rights.

This is Texas. This is who we are.

We take pride declaring to those who would infringe on our freedom to “Come and take it.”

The radical, progressive left has made it clear that they intend to do just that.

Like our forefathers before us, let’s answer the call. Let’s hold the line.

And let’s keep Texas the shining light of liberty that has made it the greatest state in the greatest nation that the world has ever seen.

Zach Ienatsch Opinions Editor @zachnatch

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CONTINUED Dear Editor, Growing up, I was always under the impression that college was going to be this big, wonderous, inclusive environment for people of all stripes. While Texas State is mostly successful on that part, I feel it- the administration, student body, faculty, etc. -has fallen drastically short of helping students with special needs and disabilities.

I am diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum Disorder, a social-mental condition that sees a wide range of behaviors throughout one's lifetime.

As a child, because I acted "weird" in class, I had to be moved to a special classroom for other students like me.

This is where, despite the teachers' best intentions, I was essentially shut off

from the rest of the world. The "real" world that seemed to be moving along so fast and smug and confidently. Most of my peers and instructors seemed more content to offset the pressures to someone else slightly more qualified, rather than face the issue directly and responsibly.

When I got accepted to, and eventually came to, Texas State University, I had been hoping that my experiences as an independent adult would be buoyed by a supportive campus with plenty of programs to join. I was saddened to find out that the vast majority of students with special needs and disabilities were placed into the laps of a single office on the 5th LBJ floor. The staffers and student helpers do their absolute best, but they seem severely overworked.

Just as in previous curriculums, we are virtually handed off to the side to be dealt with later- if ever at all.

Worse still, most administrators, students, and faculty members seem wholly indifferent to these people. One of the biggest issues that children and adults with autism face is that their peers severely misunderstand the way in which the condition works. They're poorly informed, and sometimes unintentionally offensive. I cannot express how many times someone my age or older has talked down to me in a demeaning manner like I was a helpless child.

Words like "retard" or "retarded" are used so casually in conversations, it has found a way into normality. Those words have been used to hurt me and others like me in the past, and the fact

that they're said regularly is extremely upsetting. I'm utterly sick and tired of having to be the only one in the room who speaks up when these are said aloud, and even more so when my peers look at me like I'm a censorship police.

I write this letter in hopes that people attending the university will stop and listen to these concerns and take them seriously. If Texas State is indeed serious about inclusivity and diversity, then it needs to acknowledge and reckon with a small but vital group of students who often feel left behind.

CONSERVATISM

Conservatives for the college mind

By Jordan Drake Assistant Opinions Editor Colleges are held as a higher institute of learning for any subject with one notable exception: politics, at least politics that are right-leaning. Liberal professors outnumber conservative professors nearly thirteen to one and the odds are that a student's only exposure to conservative politics are from left-leaning professors ranting against it. Throw in student protests against nearly any conservative speaker and it becomes clear college campuses are not places where diverse politics are tolerated.

If college campuses will not teach these ideas then students must go outside and expose themselves to smart intellectual conservative thinkers. There are many worth listening to but three in particular stand out especially among college students: Ben Shapiro, Candace Owens and Jordan Peterson.

Ben Shapiro is a Harvard grad who runs the Daily Wire newspaper along with his podcast, the Ben Shapiro Show. He is best known for his debates where his sharp logic allows him to systematically pick apart arguments, especially from left-leaning students.

Watching any one of his debates, its nearly impossible to argue with his logic, even if there is a disagreement on his ideas.

Shapiro is also a rare political pundit who has no problem breaking with the status quo. He left Breitbart over what he felt was bias towards Trump.

He will call out anyone who breaks from conservative ideas, including the president and was one of the first who highlighted the dangers of the growing alt-right, something that earned him their ire. He is passionately conservative and will defend that with the skills of a fighter. For young people especially, Shapiro has risen as a philosopher.

Brilliant and well-read, his content is

absolutely worth discovering for one’s self.

Candace Owens, the communications director for Turning Point USA is another young conservative who appeals to college students. She might frankly be the most controversial person on this list. While she has received much love for her work since switching to a conservative platform in 2017, many of her positions and opinions have invoked the wrath of the left. Owens, a black woman, has been routinely characterized as a token, Uncle Tom, race traitor or stuck in the sunken place—a reference to the movie Get Out. Despite this, Owens routinely offers scathing analysis on a variety of issues, such as criticizing Black Lives Matter, ending welfare programs and compared modern day black Democrats to slaves on plantations. She uses harsh rhetoric that can be inflammatory at times but makes interesting points. Owens thrives at using emotion on her YouTube channel, Red Pill Black, where she debunks various liberal and leftist philosophies. She is worth a read for anyone interested in a unique—albeit controversial—view of politics.

Jordan Peterson, a Canadian clinical psychologist and a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto, shot to fame in 2016 while criticizing political correctness around the Canadian government's Bill C-16, which added gender identity as a prohibited ground of discrimination.

Since then, he gained a considerable following as he rails against topics like identity politics.

He shows great intellect as he talks about masculinity, differences between sexes and other gender-based issues.

Unlike the other two on this list, he is less about politics than about changing culture itself. He offers well-reasoned analysis and solutions to problems a

right-leaning, mostly male audience can see. His greatest appeal seems to be men who have grown increasingly disillusioned with the liberal status quo. He is extremely adept at appealing to and offering advice to this demographic. Though his book 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos is geared towards men, it is an absolute must read for anyone who feels lost in society today. Peterson brings another strong keen mind to young conservatives.

A cursory google search on these individuals will bring up any number of articles slamming them for thinking differently and labeling them as part of the alt-right to spook any curious

minds. Readers should reject this notion and seek out these individuals’ content for themselves. For those who feel their ideas are being stifled, these three can offer some relief.

Not all talking heads are worth giving your time, especially if one wishes to educate themselves on a new perspective. These recommendations give a starting point worth the time of any curious young person trying to find material outside of their everyday campus exposure.

CULTURE

Coach Withers calls new plays and shifts team culture

By Sean Anchondo Sports Reporter

Soccer clinches conference tournament spot after back-toback wins

In the past three years, Texas State football has undergone a cultural overhaul with Head Coach Everett Withers at the helm.

Prior to Withers' first game in 2016, around 30 players were dismissed or left the team. In picking up the pieces, Withers rebuilt the program's culture by infusing his own philosophies in an attempt to fix the team's existing personnel and drug problems.

Withers said his core values, as painted on wall of the team's meeting room, are about being honest, treating women with respect, no using drugs, no stealing and no weapons.

Withers said he refused to bring his family around the 2016 team he inherited and that he first had to

establish a no-nonsense atmosphere.

Currently, Withers' son, Pierce Withers, plays for the team's defense.

“There was a major drug problem when I got here," Withers said. "We have a better competitive spirit now, we are closer to competing than we have ever been since I have been here.”

Previously, Withers served as head coach from 2014-15 at James Maddison University, where he led the team to back-to-back playoff appearances. In 2015, Withers dismissed JMU players Rhakeem Stallings, Jimmy Moreland and Keith Ford players for allegedly stealing.

“At JMU, we got rid of our best corner because he stole,” Withers said.

“When I left, they let him back on the team. He is now a top-10 corner prospect for the NFL. We didn’t want him to play, he stole. We were going to

give him a second chance. He had to pay for school for a year.”

Withers said following the system requires people from the top to the bottom of the program to buy in. He said the team has taken longer than what he would have wanted to adapt to his changes, but they're getting there.

Sophomore quarterback Willie Jones III said the culture shift motivates players to do better for their coaches.

In the I-35 showdown against the University of Texas at San Antonio, the Bobcat’s nearly knocked off the favored UTSA Roadrunners but ultimately lost 25-21, compared to last year's 44-14.

“There’s a lot more energy with the coaches and the players," Jones said.

"It’s just a different feel. (It) makes you want to be out there to go hard for your coach and the next man beside you

By Atkyn Garza and Anthony Flores Sports Reporters The Texas State Women’s Soccer team have secured a spot in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament after back-to-back wins over the weekend.

The Bobcats improved their record to 8-5-1 on the season against the Georgia Southern Lady Eagles. Currently, the Bobcats lead the Sun Belt Conference with a 6-01 record and have officially earned a spot in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament.

Kaylee Davis was the lead scorer for the Bobcats with two goals.

Davis connected with Kayla Geren in the seventh minute and scored with a shot to the upper corner of the net, leaving the score at 3-0.

Over the weekend the team also downed rival Appalachian State 1-0.

Junior defender Genesis Turman earned the sole goal of the game.

The Allen, Texas native came in for a substitution before scoring the game-winner off an assist from sophomore forward Sydney Krammer in the 70th minute of play. Texas State outshot the lady Mountaineers 13-5.

Junior goalkeeper Heather Martin kept t Appalachian State off the scoreboard with five saves during Friday night’s showdown.

The Bobcats will compete against Troy University at 1 p.m. October 14 in Troy, Alabama.

FOOTBALL

Coaches scratch heads after Saturday loss against ULL

Volleyball continues win streak after double header

By Jacob Sommers and Jakob Rodriguez Sports Editor and Sports Reporter Texas State’s volleyball team continued their dominance Saturday against Georgia State as they added an 11th victory to their win streak.

The Bobcats rolled over the Panthers of Georgia State, winning three consecutive sets: 25-16, 2514, 25-21. This convincing win makes the Bobcats 7-0 in the Sun Belt Conference.

Saturday night's standout players for the Bobcats included Cheyenne Huskey, with 10 kills, Madison Daigle with nine kills, three blocks and an ace, and Emily DeWalt with 29 assists and 15 digs.

Over the weekend, the volleyball team also topped Georgia Southern 3-1 (23-25, 25-14, 25-21, 25-22).

Emily DeWalt, true freshman from Helotes, Texas, increased her conference lead to 13 doubledoubles after finishing the game with a total of 46 assists and 10 digs.

Next, the volleyball team has their sights on Appalachian State University, whom they face at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 12 at Strahan Arena in San Marcos.

By Jakob Rodriguez and Dederick Johnson Sports Editor and Sports Reporter The Bobcats fell Saturday to the Louisiana Lafayette Rajun' Cajuns 4227, knocking the team's record to 1-4.

The Cajuns' offensive attack is built on the shoulders of running backs Elijah Mitchell and Trey Ragas, who ended the day with a combined 291 yards and four scores. The loss is the third straight for the Bobcats.

"I take 100 percent of the responsibility for (the way) our team played tonight," Head Coach Everett Withers said. "Two weeks of preparation, obviously we worked on a few other things throughout the week, but I take 100 percent responsibility."

The first half saw true freshman quarterback Tyler Vitt in his first clear start, though the offense struggled to put points on the board in the first half. At the half, the Cajuns led the Bobcats 28-0. Withers said he took responsibility for not having Vitt ready in the first half.

"I didn't get Tyler ready to play in the first half," Withers said. "I think Coach Elliot did a good job of getting

him schooled up in the second half."

The Bobcats came alive in the second half, thanks in large part to Vitt, who threw for 296 yards and scored three times through the air.

However, the Bobcats' failure to establish a run game made opening the passing game a difficult process.

Vitt was the leading rusher for the Bobcats, with 92 yards for the night and an average carry of 5.4 yards.

The Bobcats managed to cut the lead down to a two-score difference twice in the second half, but the Ragin' Cajuns' responded with touchdowns both times.

Next up, the Bobcats face Georgia Southern University (4-1) Thursday at Bobcat Stadium. Withers said the team will begin practicing for the game right away.

Junior receiver Hutch White proved to be an integral piece of the offensive puzzle, as he was targeted a record 11 times. White said coming into the second half, the team had to not beat themselves and play for themselves.

"It's never easy getting a loss," White said. "We came out halftime

(and) coaches really talked to us and we decided right there (that) we got to have some pride about ourselves. We have to come out and really just not beat ourselves."

White said the credit for his 60-yard game should go to his teammates and quarterback.

"A lot of credit to Louisiana," White said. "They came out and they came to our place and played a good game, but Tyler did a great job. He was very composed, I've never seen any doubt in him. He'll get smacked and he's just smiling, so he's a baller."

Tight end graduate transfer from Oklahoma state Keenan Brown said the team got off to a very slow start and though this week's schedule does not lend itself to an offensive or defensive overhaul, the team needs to pick up the pace.

"It's a short week but we have to start fast," Brown said.

Tickets for Thursday night's home game against the Georgia Southern Eagles are free for students. The game's kick off is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. and the game will be broadcasted on ESPN U.
