Dr. Debbie Lopez’s dedication to her students was surpassed only by her students’ dedication to her. Lopez, associate professor of Eng-lish and graduate advisor, passed away on Oct. 14, 2011.

In spite of a lengthy illness, Lo-pez always found a way to be ac-cessible to her students. Even in her last semester of teaching, spring 2011, she did not let her ill-ness keep her from her students, who would sometimes pick her up for class from her home in Boerne, Texas when she was unable to drive.

“I met Dr. Lopez in 2005 in my Intro to Graduate Studies class,” former student and teaching assis-tant Christina Gutierrez said. “She was very devoted to her students

and she was always very knowl-edgeable.”

Lopez specialized in Anglo-

American studies. Anglo-Ameri-can studies is an English discipline that focuses on the relationship between American and British literature. Lopez began teaching at UTSA in 1993 after earning her Ph. D. from Harvard University’s Department of English and Amer-ican Literature and Language.

“She was a brilliant teacher and scholar; totally devoted to her students,” Dr. Jeanne Reesman, professor of English and Ph. D. graduate advisor of record said. “She would always go above and beyond to help students. She was also very easy to talk to and had a great sense of humor.”

Students and faculty remem-bered her on the Facebook page of UTSA’s Department of English.

MARRIAGE EQUALITY Sarah Gibbens news@paisano-online.com

This past Saturday, members from the LGBTQIA (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans*) community of San An-tonio came together to protest unequal marriage laws at the March for Marriage Equality.

Beginning in Milam Park downtown, activists marched to the Bexar County Courthouse with cheers that demanded equality “here and now.” Since gay and lesbian couples cannot legally marry in Texas, the march allowed couples to be “married” on the courthouse steps. While not legal, their marriages served as peaceful pro-tests against what they stated as outdated and unjust laws.

These commitment ceremonies took place across the state of Texas.

Following National Coming Out Day on Oct. 11, the march highlighted ways in which members of the LG-BTQIA community lack equal civil rights afforded to heterosexuals. Gay and lesbian couples also lack legal and financial benefits that come with a state recognized marriage.

“Over 1,138 federal rights provided by marriage are denied to families (of same-sex) due to state and federal regulations like the Defense of Marriage Act,” Jay Mor-ris, state leader for GetEQUAL, said. “There is a need to protect the 17,000 same-sex couples in Texas who are raising children together.”

The march was organized by members of LGBTQIA San Antonio. John Deau Domingue, a Trinity University student who was one of the march organizers, said, “Cre-ating this event took several months, hard work, count-less emails, texts and phone calls.” Domingue, who was pleased with the resulting protest, believes students are, “more empowered than they realize… they are a power-house in bringing change.”

On the steps of the Bexar County Courthouse, mem-bers of the LGBT community shared their experiences and talked about what it was like to struggle against the negative judgment sometimes shown towards gay and lesbian partnerships.

Luca Keefer, a Trinity University freshman, spoke about growing up in a conservative Catholic environ-ment and the difficulty in finding yourself amongst prej-udices and discrimination.

Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann on Saturday signed a pledge to push for construction of a fence along the entire length of the border with Mexi-co, raising the issue of illegal immigra-tion in an Iowa town where about one third of the residents are Hispanic.

Bachmann also renewed her at-tacks on the immigration policies of Gov. Rick Perry of Texas, one of the rivals for the Republican nomination, and she criticized President Barack Obama for what she called his failure to control the border.

“President Obama has failed the American people by failing to secure the southern border,” said Bachmann. “I will secure that border and that will be job one.”

Bachmann’s call for increased bor-der security was made in a town where

the meatpacking industry has drawn immigrant workers. Thirty-two per-cent of the town’s 9,800 residents are Hispanic.

Van Hipp Jr., head of Americans for Securing Our Border, said Bachmann was the first GOP presidential hope-ful to sign the pledge, but he added the group plans to aggressively seek the support of others as well. The docu-ment binds Bachmann to support the construction of a double fence along the length of the U.S. border with Mexico by 2013.

“I have been saying this all through the campaign,” Bachmann said. “Now you have my word in writing.” Debbie Lopez

She called control of the border a national security issue and said illegal immigration costs the U.S. more than $100 billion a year. At the same time she rejected suggestions that talking about cracking down on illegal immi-grants is racist or anti-Hispanic.

“It’s OK to talk about this issue,” said Bachmann. “Some say it’s not OK to talk about this subject because that somehow means we are prejudiced or bigoted or biased against Hispanics. That’s not what I hear from the people of Iowa. They are tired of paying for other people.”

Hipp said the pledge was intended to insure that action is taken on the is-sue.

“For too long, too many politicians have given only lip service to the war on our border,” Hipp said. “The rule of law has been ignored and the federal government has been derelict in its duty in defending our borders.”

Cracking down on illegal immigra-tion has become a major theme in the GOP race, with most of the candidates charging that Perry isn’t tough enough on the issue.

Perry has taken a lot of heat for Tex-as’ policy of allowing the children of il-

legal immigrants to pay in-state tuition to attend public colleges. Bachmann raised the issue again Saturday.

“In 2009 in Texas there were 12,138 students that benefited from that,” Bachmann said. “That cost the taxpay-ers of Texas $25.9 million.”

Bachmann congratulated Hipp’s group for injecting the immigration issue into the campaign, calling it a “wonderful gift.”

She said that an alleged Iranian plot to launch a campaign of bombing and assassination in the U.S. would have involved people slipping across the border illegally.

“This is not just an economic issue, this is also a national security issue,” Bachmann said. “It’s an issue dealing with terrorism.”

Bachmann noted that 59,000 of those who cross the border illegally each year come from countries other than Mexico. She also argued that it will be virtually impossible to cut into the nation’s jobless rate until illegal im-migration is reduced.

Bachmann told reporters she chose the town of Perry for signing the pledge because of its demographics. When asked if she chose Perry because it is the namesake of a leading opponent in the race, she said, “I thought about that too.”

Keefer, who is also a member of Trinity’s Sexual Diversity Alliance said she protested to “pave the way for fu-ture generations, so that they can be free to love without someone telling them their love is wrong.

“It’s important for students to have a safe environment to be themselves and be accepted by their peers,” Keefer said.

The rally was also supported by members of the UTSA’s GLBTQ (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning) club. Sean Goerner, who serves as the political committee chair for GLBTQ, believes the anti-gay marriage laws in Texas are largely due

to “ignorance and close-mindedness. “People are just afraid of what they

don’t know, and, if they choose to educate themselves or get to know a GLBTQ person, those feelings would vanish,” Goerner said.

Goerner notes that Dick Cheney, a notoriously conservative politician, supports gay marriage, largely because one of his daughters is a lesbian.

With roughly 70 members the GLBTQ club is one of the largest or-ganizations on campus, already an indication of the kind of change that can be brought about when people stand up against discrimination and are free to be themselves. This past Wednesday, Oct. 12, GLBTQ hosted their special ‘Bring an Ally’ meeting

in which all who support the GLBTQ community could come out and show their support of equality for members of GLBTQ. Over a hundred members and their allies occupied the UC Ball-room during this event. As support for LGBTQIA rights increases, many are speaking out against unequal treat-ment by the law.

“This is a matter of human rights,” Isabel Engle said, an organizer for GetEQUAL Texas. “Peaceful protest-ing and having a voice in the govern-ment is what democracy is all about and it may not be long before America looks back on marriage inequality as an injustice of the past.”

“She was a brilliant scholar and one of the most encouraging pro-fessors I have ever known. She al-ways took the time to help me or answer my questions,” wrote Mi-chelle Neuman. “She was an inspi-ration. I will miss her very much.”

Lopez served as the Graduate Advisor for Master’s program stu-dents.

“She was treasured by her stu-dents,” said Dr. Mark Allen, Eng-lish Professor. “Different profes-sors have different profiles in how they stand out as educators. (Lo-pez’s) profile was her total com-mitment to her students and that care was reciprocated by her stu-

dents.”Students, colleagues, and fac-

ulty members remember her as a powerful influence on their aca-demic and personal life.

“She was very special to our graduate students,” said Reina Vargas, Administrative Associ-ate for the English Department’s graduate program. “I can remem-ber many students saying that if it were not for her, they would not have made it through the Master’s program. Her passing has had a profound effect on current and former students alike.”

A memorial service is planned for Oct. 18 at 7:00pm at Vaughan’s Funeral Home in Boerne, Texas.

October 18, 2011The PaisanoThe Paisano4 NewsWelch Foundation establishes Robert A. Welch chair for chemistryJoshua Morales news@paisano-online.com

The Welch Foundation was estab-lished in 1954 by Robert A. Welch, a millionaire who had a passion for chemistry and for Texas. This semes-ter, the Welch Foundation is giving $1.5 million to UTSA to establish the Robert A. Welch Chair in chemistry, pushing the university closer to Tier One status.

Welch attained success and fortune in the oil and mineral industry and be-lieved chemistry was important to the betterment of the world. His will states, “I have long been impressed with the great possibilities for the betterment of mankind that lay in the field of research in the domain of chemistry.”

His foundation provides research grants, endowed chairs and depart-mental programs. The foundation also hosts an annual conference, where leading chemists sponsor the Welch Award in chemistry, focusing primarily on scientific advancement in Texas.

UTSA is on a mission to find a dis-tinguished scientist that will help the university in the advancement of the sciences. Not long ago, the Texas leg-islature passed a bill that would give millions of dollars in funding to emerg-ing schools in research across the state. UTSA was one of six schools scheduled to receive these funds.

UTSA has provided $1.2 billion to the local economy. The school also has nearly 81,000 alumni and has increased research spending by 97 percent with-in the last five years—placing it as the second research institution in the UT System. The additional funds from the Welch Foundation will allow UTSA to reach their goal of receiving a $400 mil-lion endowment.

“The funds will be combined with an-other $1.5 million from UTSA to form a $3 million endowment to attract and support a world-class chemist,” George Perry, Dean and Professor of the Col-lege of Sciences, said. “This recruitment will increase the number and quality of

research opportunities for UTSA stu-dents. It will also raise the profile of chemical research at UTSA.”

Waldemar Gorski, chair of the De-partment of Chemistry, explained what this gift means for UTSA.

“We are looking for an internation-ally recognized scientist to join the De-partment of Chemistry as the Robert A. Welch Endowed Chair,” Gorski said. “Preference will be given to individu-als whose research is at the interface of chemistry and biology with an empha-sis on biomedically relevant chemistry. The Welch Chair’s endowment will support the candidate’s research efforts including research personnel, travel to scientific meetings, chemicals, instru-mentation and laboratory supplies.”

Students are also weighing in on the topic of greater advancement for UTSA.

“As a student at UTSA, I am excited to see our efforts in reaching Tier One research status. This is an important step forward for the College of Sci-

ences,” senior political science major Richard C. Rodriguez said. “The sheer amount shows how important research is for our university. This is exactly the sort of opportunity the university needs to show our dedication to higher edu-cation and commitment to discovery in the world of science.”

The College of Sciences plans to re-cruit a chemist as soon as possible to

begin intensive research here at UTSA. Mr. Gorski also mentioned that they “also anticipate that the Welch Chair will establish productive research col-laborations with the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and Southwest Research Institute.”

More intensive research will be underway as soon as the College of Sciences recruit a new chemist.

Governor Mitt Romney’s reli-gious beliefs and political plat-forms are both under fire.

Romney’s faith has been scru-tinized in the media lately. The

question many are asking is why isn’t Romney using his religious faith to his advantage during speeches and debates? Other candidates, such as Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann and Governor Ricky Per-ry, are conducting prayer sessions and mailing campaign letters that weave religious doctrine into their political agenda.

If Romney is going to run a conser-vative ticket, he needs to emphasize his religious leanings as he addresses his constituents, especially Tea Party voters.

In the 2008 primary elections, Romney ran on a religious conserva-tive ticket. His religion of choice was neither emphasized nor scrutinized. However, former Arkansas Governor

Mike Huckabee also ran on a strong religious ticket and was defeated by the more moderate Senator John McCain.

The Tea Party movement has caused a recent shift in the Republi-can Party to push for an even more conservative ticket in response to President Obama. For example, vot-ers objected to Perry allowing immi-grants state benefits for public uni-versities.

The Church of the Latter Day Saints doesn’t appear controversial, but if we observe history religion isn’t an unlikely deterrent for voters. The last non-protestant president to be elected was John F. Kennedy, whose Catholic faith was a contro-versial issue for voters. However, Kennedy was able to overcome that prejudice and win the election. Will that be true for Romney?

It would be appalling if voters re-fused to vote for Romney on the ba-sis of religious preference rather than the basis of his public service re-cord. While some Republican voters may not agree with his beliefs, they should look at the facts. Unfortu-

nately, for Romney, those facts may be just as appalling.

One of the major debates has been Romney’s shift from a liberal ideolo-gy to a more conservative one. Rom-ney was accused of warning a woman he counseled as bishop to not go for-ward with her abortion. An article was published and the incident made headlines years later when Romney ran for United States Senate as a sup-porter of abortion rights.

Romney has since abandoned that position. If the other Republican candidates don’t take advantage of these past events, then they deserve to lose the primaries.

Romney has held steady at second place in latest primary polls. Nor-mally, questions of faith wouldn’t come into question, but his recent ideology shifts have left voters won-dering who is the real Romney?

And questions like that can only lead to more candidate scrutiny and some religious intolerance.

On Oct. 15 The New York Times reported on the solutions that Repub-lican candidates Herman Cain and Michele Bachmann are proposing to address the illegal immigration issue. The details for those proposed solu-tions were alarming.

Bachmann’s solution was to make English the official language, build a double fence and eliminate “taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal aliens.”

Cain’s solutions were more unorth-odox. He wanted to build an electri-fied fence along the Mexico-U.S. bor-der that would kill people who tried

to cross it. Cain’s other solution was to use troops “with real guns and real bullets” at U.S. borders to stop illegal immigrants from entering the coun-try.

A day later, The New York Times reported that Cain said he was only joking about the fence and that “the American people needed to get a ‘sense of humor.’”

The American people have a sense of humor; they will laugh when some-thing is funny. An electrical fence that has the capacity to kill those try-ing to get through is just not funny.

In Arizona the number of deaths in 2010 along their border with Mexico was 252, and since 2001 2,160 have died. When there is so much death along the border why increase that amount?

We need to treat all human life with respect even if we don’t agree with the choices that these immigrants make. Laughing about death may seem nor-mal to Cain, but a lesson in ettiquette would teach him when to make jokes about serious issues and when to re-frain.

Even before opening the door, the aroma of coffee beans, slowly roasting inside, invites customers to have a seat and stay a while.

That’s how customers are greeted every time they enter Mildfire Cof-fee Roasters on Huebner Road.

“Mildfire is an extension of our living room,” baristas Mark and Tricia Sobhani said. When look-ing for an alternative to Starbucks or the next great pizza place, stu-dents should think outside the box of large, retail chains and go local.

UTSA graduate student Dena Gandy believes that when people go local, they seek originality.

“It’s about relationships, unique-ness and the creativity that larger chains just don’t have,” Gandy said. Her favorite family owned restau-rant is La Chinita’s on Avondale. “I go for the price and quality,” adds Gandy, but she also likes the fact they know her by name.

The idea of specializing in roast-ing beans in-house came to the Sob-hani’s while on vacation in Costa Rica. They toured a locally owned coffee plantation, where they saw firsthand how the beans were har-vested and roasted.

“We wanted to set ourselves apart,” Tricia said. Back home, they embarked on business classes at UTSA’s Business Development Center to learn how to formulate a business plan. Their passion for coffee is now a successful business.

But it’s the Sobhani’s passion for coffee combined with fun, memo-rable experiences they share with their customers that keep patrons so loyal.

“We set out to make the best cof-fee possible,” adds Mark Sobhani.

But what Mark didn’t expect, were the friendships he formed with his customers who live in the neighbor-hood.

Going local provides senior com-munication major, Scott Frierson, friendly customer service and per-sonal relationships.

“I favor [Twenty Grand], a neigh-borhood bar on Bandera because I know a couple of bartenders that work there, so I know they’ll take care of me,” Frierson said. “I can al-ways expect to have a good time.”

Jacob Valenzuela, owner of Deco Pizzeria in the Deco District, says his restaurant has become a cen-tral meeting place for friends and neighbors.

“I love that my customers are from the neighborhood,” Valenzu-ela said. September marked the sixth-month anniversary for Deco Pizzeria, but this endeavor has been years in the making.

“Living and working in the com-munity for the past 20 years has prepared me for this,” adds Valen-zuela. Leaving behind a successful job in corporate America, Valenzu-ela pursued his dream of restaurant ownership last year, and business couldn’t be better. But the real pay-off for Valenzuela is the connection to the community the pizzeria now offers him, “Every day, I get to have a big party with friends and family,” Valenzuela said.

For junior chemistry major Mat-thew Valdez, the appeal of going local means individuality. Valdez loves the authentic Mexican food at the locally owned Blanco Café. Despite three locations, “each res-taurant has its own identity,” Valdez said. For Valdez, the secret to Blan-co Café’s success is the unique fla-vor of each restaurant. Individual-ity is also why senior finance major Rodrigo Mata enjoys the adventure

of finding great local eateries. “I like uniqueness and don’t mind

going out of my way to find places that are different and have original-ity,” Mata said.

Relationships, product expertise and innovative customer service al-low independent business owners a chance to really get to know their customers. In fact, he knows them so well, that Venezuela said, “I can tell who’s in the house by the pizza the chef is making.” It is this same personal service at Mildfire Coffee Roasters that has customers accus-tomed to the staff knowing their

drink preferences better than they do.

“When a customer sees a new face at the register, they have to stop and think about what it is they usually order,” Sobhani adds.

As large retail chain stores and restaurants continue their march into the city, UTSA students may find it challenging to find these lo-cal gems, but help is on the way.

“There is a movement forming in San Antonio right now to patronize locally owned businesses,” said Rob-ert Vargas, creator of the Facebook page, San Antonio Owned! Thanks

to his page and other publications such as the San Antonio Current and San Antonio Magazine, stu-dents don’t have to go far to find great locally-owned hotspots.

When students take the time to go outside the box, students are sure to discover that independent business owners are personally in-vested in their products and the community they serve. So, when searching for good times, unique adventures and innovative cuisine go local and be sure to make a few friends along the way.

Are you an adrenaline junkie? Can’t get enough horror in your ev-eryday life? Are you constantly try-ing to coax the monsters from un-der your bed? The Paisano staff has compiled of the scariest movies to keep your adrenaline needs at bay.

10) “Insidious”: The 2010 film directed by James Wan, shows a family moving into a beautiful new home. After their son falls into a deep coma weird stuff starts to hap-pen around the house. The family leaves their home to escape the evil that fills the house only to realize it’s not the house that is haunted.

9) “Poltergeist”: The Freely’s might be aware of the supernatural force under their house, but they certainly don’t welcome it. Objects began to move around the house, but the Freely family had no idea to handle it. Events take a turn for the worse when the poltergeist kid-naps the Freely’s youngest daugh-ter. Many of the cast and crew have passed away within a few years after filming, making many believe the film has a mysterious curse.

8) “Texas Chainsaw Massacre”: On their way to visit their Grandpa’s grave, five teens find themselves in a fight for their lives against the no-torious Leather Face, and his can-nibalistic family. What makes “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” number eight on the list is that it was based on a true story. Ed Gein, born and raised in Wisconsin would kill and dig up bodies of young girls and use their skin to make a full body suit, he said he wanted to make it for his dead mother. Gein was convicted for first-degree murder, found to be criminally insane and spent the rest of his life in a mental institution.

7) “Paranormal Activity”:

Young couple, Katie and Micah, start noticing a lot of weird events happening at night. In order to get to the bottom of it, the couple sets up cameras around the house to capture unexplained events. As the haunting gets worse, Katie tells Micah this is not the first time she has been haunted. The movie was filmed in ten days in director Oren Peli’s home, and while it was a low budget film it left many of the audi-ence afraid to fall asleep.

6) “Saw”: Two men wake up chained to the pipes in a disgusting bathroom just to realize they were kidnapped by the notorious serial killer Jigsaw. They must complete the “puzzle” to survive. Directed by James Wan, the “Saw” series ter-rifies its audience and shows the extent to which a person will go to survive.

5) “Child’s Play”: The 1988 hor-ror movie directed by Tom Holland, plays on the fear of creepy killer dolls. Andy Barclay receives a Good Guy doll for his birthday, which is really Chucky, a serial killer stuck in the body of a child’s play thing.

4) “28 Days Later”: Jim wakes up from a coma to find himself in deserted London. Twenty-eight days earlier a group of activists had released chimpanzees from a re-search lab infected by a virus that induced rage. The virus quickly spread to the people, causing cata-strophic events. Their only hope is to head for a military campus out-side of the city, if they can make it there.

By the age of five, most kids have heard the expression “x marks the spot.” Then the thought “What would it be like to be a pirate?” presents itself. The thought of finding treasure is quite alluring. Unfortunately for these kids, there is little to no hope of finding a map that leads you to buried treasure; however, for kids, explorers and nature enthusiasts that never grow up, there is a solution. It is called geocaching.

Geocaching first began around 1999, with the upgrade of a major satellite that increased the accuracy of global positioning. The upgrade al-lowed for an unintentional dawn of a global phenomenon that has changed the way people view treasure hunts.

Geocaching is a real life outdoor treasure hunt. Essentially, people use coordinates that others provide to find hidden objects. This used to be done with paper maps when it first started 10 years ago, but the game has quick-ly modernized and is now played via GPS signals. Once the player tracks down the item, which can be located pretty much anywhere, they have the option to either take the item and re-

place it with an equal or greater value item, or leave it and let someone else claim the prize.

There are currently over a dozen dif-ferent variations of geocaching. Some of the other forms of geocaching in-clude: multi-cache, which involves usually two to three different objects that lead to the final destination; puzzle-caches, which have elaborate puzzles that must be solved to find the coordinates and letterbox hybrid, which uses clues instead to find the container.

There are multiple apps for geo-caching available for both iPhone and Android smart phones making the ex-perience much easier.

Although the coordinates may be quicker to find, don’t be fooled into thinking that finding the prize is no longer a challenge. People that hide “treasures” have adapted in response to new technology, such as smart phone applications, by making the clues more difficult.

This global game has caught the at-tention of people of all ages, and just keeps growing. There is currently geo-caching gear on the market and there are geocaching leagues popping up everywhere. There are even geocach-

ing clubs at universities. As rapidly as geocaching is spreading, it will soon become a common name amongst ad-venture lovers everywhere. Here is an opportunity to geocache! Just find the location below, and it will begin an on campus adventure. Con-tinue finding the coordinates to find the final “cache.”

First coordinates for UTSA’s first geo-cache: 29°58’38” N, 98°37’35”W

Hint: I have a twin. We live up high. We stand tall. We touch the sky.

Good luck!

This past Wednesday, Oct. 12, the University Center Program Coun-cil (UCPC) hosted its weekly Coffee House series. The opening artist was UTSA’s very own Alex Fisher, followed by the singer/songwriter, Robin Smith.

Fisher’s melodic voice filled the courtyard with covers of contempo-rary songs including Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours;” Parachute’s “She is Love;” and Paramore’s “Only Exception.”

Singing since she was able to speak, Fisher’s Christian musical background has led her to become the musician she is today.

“I started singing in church, leading worship,” Fischer said. “And that ulti-mately lead me to being on my own. By the age of fourteen, I was playing in coffee houses and places alike.”

Of all the songs she’s covered, Fisher has a particular favorite that she enjoys singing time and again.

“I love covering Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah,” Fisher said. “Although it is probably one of the most covered songs, I still love doing it.”

While all artists strive to get their work recognized, Fisher’s inspira-tion to continue pursuing her passion stems from a different source.

“My goal isn’t to be famous; it’s to share my music. If you’re good at something, you should share it,” Fisher said. “You shouldn’t keep your talents all to yourself; God gave them to you to make other people happy.”

Typically, performers have rituals that either calm them down or psyche them up right before their show. And Fisher has a few of her own that pre-

pare her before every performance.“I get excited and tell myself that this

is what I love doing,” Fisher said. “For my voice, I will drink water and eat honey straight from the bottle! It helps coat my throat before I go onstage.”

As a UTSA student, Fisher also has to balance priorities like school with her passion of music.

“School is first, but I must stay sane. So, music is my outlet to relieve myself and be happy,” Fisher said. “Sometimes it’s hard; you can be blinded by pas-sion. But at the end of the day, school is my priority and music is my passion.”

The combination of powerful strumming, a soulful voice and meta-phorical lyrics creates the music that belongs exclusively to Robin Smith. The Minnesota native moved to Aus-tin, Texas in 2005 and hasn’t looked back since. The “Live Musical Capital of the World” was actually a last min-ute move; Smith was originally going to move to Los Angeles California, but was glad to have decided to come to Texas.

“The people here are genuinely friendly,” Smith said. “I have a group of friends that I get together with and we’ll just sit around in a circle and start playing our music; each person sharing their music. They’re my home away from home. Austin is awesome and ‘it’ for me.”

She’s lived through the emotions and situations described in her lyrics. The theme of love lost and hurt runs predominantly throughout her work, but one song in particular holds a per-sonal meaning to Smith.

“My song ‘Good Enough’ was the first song I wrote when I came to Aus-tin. It’s about tough times growing up; childhood,” Smith said. “Every time I play it, it takes me home. It’s pure, honest and true. I held back nothing.”

With the debut of her album at the end of the year, Smith is anxious about her first release, but eager to have peo-ple listen to her music.

“I love music,” Smith said. “Loved it since I was young; can’t imagine not doing it. It’s natural.”

Baseball at crossroads

August 26, 2008 The Paisano October 18, 20118 Sports The Paisano

The World Series is set to begin Wednesday in St. Louis between the American League Champion Texas Rangers and the National League Champion St. Louis Cardinals.

While the Cardinals and Rangers will fight to win four-out-of seven games, the sport of baseball is at a turning point.

Over the last couple of months the sale of the Houston Astros by current owner Drayton McLane to a new ownership group under Jim Crane has been in limbo as Major League Baseball (MLB) has considered the move. It appears the move will go through on one condition: The As-tros, a member of the National league since their inception in 1962, must move to the American League West where they will join a division con-sisting of the Rangers, the Los Ange-les Angels of Anaheim, the Oakland Athletics and the Seattle Mariners.

A few things are wrong with this scenario. MLB wants to move the Astros to the AL West because they want to form a division rivalry be-tween the two Texas clubs but there is already a good interleague rivalry if the Astros can just field a team with major league talent.

Another problem with this scenar-io is that a lot might change in base-ball with this move. As the leagues are currently configured, there are 16 teams in the NL and 14 in the AL. The last time a move like this hap-pened was in 1998 when in order to facilitate the expansion Tampa Bay Devil Rays, the Milwaukee Brewers moved from the AL to the NL, join-ing the expansion Arizona Diamond-backs.

The current system of 16 in the NL and 14 in the AL has worked well for the past 14 seasons but the idea that a team has better probability of making the postseason in the AL as opposed to the NL has in some way led to where we are right now where baseball is trying to even the leagues.

The Astros shift would put 15 teams in each league. MLB looked at this possibility before the 1998 season, but it realized that for it to work one team would have to be on bye every day of the season or the two leagues would have to play an interleague schedule all season long. At the time both ideas were turned down. Now it looks like baseball is forgetting this and is trying to get balanced teams, so that more teams can make a postsea-son that already stretches to Nov. 1.

If baseball wants to have an Ameri-can League rivalry in Texas and even teams in each league, the answer is not moving one team from one league to another, the answer is to add two teams to the American League. One could be in San Antonio to build that rivalry with the Rangers and the oth-er could be in Portland, Oregon, or Montreal, Quebec or another market ready for baseball.

This would take a few years to implement, but when it happened, baseball would have 32 teams like the NFL, and baseball could either keep the divisions the way they are or split into four divisions of four teams like the NFL. Fewer teams in each divi-sion would mean tighter division races, and would allow for either the end of the wild card or the addition of a wild card team,

In this scenario, six teams from each league would make the playoffs, the first round would be best two out of three. The two teams with the best record would receive a bye in the wild card round and face the winners of the first round in the divisional series that would continue as a best of five. From there, the playoffs would look much as they do now.

For this to work there would have to be scheduled doubleheaders, a tradi-tion that baseball got away from in re-cent years. The double header would mean the same 162 games could be played in a shorter span, allowing for the expansion of the playoffs.

Pedro Zanotelli is proof that being an athlete and a university student is a rarity in most countries.

“If I was in Brazil, I would be either studying or playing tennis. I would never be able to do both,” Zanotelli explains. In fall 2008, Zanotelli came to UTSA from Fortaleza, Brazil in pursuit of a college degree and a chance to do what he loves—play tennis.

From the beginning, Zanotelli knew that he wanted to live in a place where he would have the same com-forts of home; like Brazil, he wanted to attend school in a city where the weather was mostly hot and rarely cold. Having two friends from Brazil who were already enrolled at UTSA helped him make his decision.

When Zanotelli first came to UTSA, he admits that he was only interested in receiving his degree, but eventually became more focused on tennis.

“Here, you play for a team. You’re representing the school,” Zanotelli said. “The team depends on you. The result of the team depends on how you do in a match. You have to be much more focused; you have to show your teammates that you care and be 100 percent in everything.”

Fellow tennis player Yannick Jung-er says that he spends most of his time surrounded by his teammates. Similar to Zanotelli, Junger left his home of Stuttgart, Germany to come to UTSA so that he could also con-tinue to play tennis while completing a business degree, a task he deems “almost impossible” and “too time consuming” in Europe.

Since coming to America, Junger has found it difficult to be away from his family and friends. “You can make on-the-surface friends with every-body. You go to a party and you meet 60 people you consider friends—I don’t do that—but to make good friends is always difficult. It doesn’t matter where you are,” Junger reflects.

Junger spent the majority of his first semester trying to adapt to his new home, especially the fact that a

vehicle is needed to accomplish most tasks. However, Junger has embraced some of the challenges that he has confronted. “Being in a foreign envi-ronment and adapting to it and get-ting along with different beliefs with a multicultural background is pretty good to be able to perform in that situation.”

During his time at UTSA, Junger has strived to immerse himself in his education and is proud of his 3.44 GPA. Junger attributes his success to UTSA’s learning resources such as private tutoring for athletes, study hall and The Writing Center. Being able to establish and maintain com-munication with his professors has also been helpful to Junger.

“My best friend studies in Switzer-land and he said that he has no con-tact with his professor; he can’t e-mail him, he can’t talk to him after class. They don’t have office hours. He was pretty impressed that it’s common here. It’s one big thing that I really ap-preciate,” Junger said.

Jeromie Hill, sophomore forward for UTSA’s men’s basketball team, ex-perienced his share of struggles with the SAT when he was initially trying to become a UTSA student from his home in Cairns, Australia.

“I had a 2.0 GPA, so I needed a very high SAT score and all the stuff on the SAT was American math and the English was written a little bit dif-ferent. For me, it was really hard to grasp,” Hill admits. “I had tutoring to try and get it and a month before I was due to come here I got the score I needed, so that was a relief. Since being here, school has been the most difficult part of it, but my GPA at the moment is about a 3.4, so I’m doing just fine.”

Aside from improving himself academically, Hill has also seen im-provement athletically because of the difference in athleticism between Australians and Americans. Hill took note of the quickness and strength that American athletes show in their upper body.

“In Australia, basketball is all in-volved with your feet. So I’ve had to get my upper body stronger to com-pete,” Hill says. “I already have the legs, so just being able to jump up and

down quicker and be more explosive is probably one thing that I’ve defi-nitely increased since I’ve been here.”

Hill’s athletic performance paid off when he was named Southland Conference Freshman of the Year in March 2011. “Being a freshman, doing what I did in that game,” Hill pauses, “I felt like I really deserved that win and earned that. That was a big thing.” Hill looks back fondly on his first year at UTSA calling it a nearly perfect freshman year, which is almost ironic as Hill didn’t intend on attending college because it isn’t common in his family or among Aus-tralians.

For Hill’s teammate Alex Vouyou-kas, forward and center for the UTSA men’s basketball team, being a part of the team that won the first NCAA game in all of UTSA’s sport history, is the achievement he is most proud of. Vouyoukas is a senior and will soon graduate from UTSA with a degree in Economics.

Vouyoukas sees himself going into the banking industry and becoming a manager or a consultant—that is if he doesn’t make it as a professional bas-ketball player. Vouyoukas has deemed his life as a college athlete in America as an absolute positive experience. In his native home of Athens, Greece, college sponsored sports don’t exist.

“First of all, there’s no such thing,” Vouyoukas states matter-of-factly. “It’s either you’re professional or you’re not and you don’t play at all.”

If Vouyoukas were to have become a professional athlete in Greece, it would be difficult for him to purse a college degree at the same time.

“As a professional athlete you usu-ally practice twice a day, so you’ll have to squeeze in classes, and then you have to drive from one side of Ath-ens—where I’m from—to the other and then drive back to your house. It’s not like here where it’s all together,” Vouyoukas explains.

Getting to UTSA to study and play basketball has been an experience that Vouyoukas would never trade, because the obstacle of even being considered and recruited is difficult. “High school coaches here, they re-cruit guys from when they’re 13, 14 years old. Where as in Greece, you’re

17, 18 and you have to send tapes and hopefully someone will like you, and it’s a lot more difficult,” Vouyoukas reveals. “You may be a really good player, but they won’t know you be-cause they can’t actually see you. They can’t drive down the street and watch a high school game, for example.”

The notion that an American col-lege degree is held to a higher standard than a college degree from Greece is appealing to Vouyoukas; however, he realizes that it’s not something that will simply be given to him without effort. Being a student at UTSA has encouraged Vouyoukas to put more time and effort into his studies. “It’s not only basketball, it’s an education too. Your freshman and sophomore years you can get away with opening up a book every now and then, but as you get older, the upper level classes get pretty hard. It’s really put in per-spective that I need to work hard in academics,” Vouyoukas reasons.

But for the student athlete who is thinking about leaving his or her country to play sports, Vouyoukas thinks that “as long as you love the sport, because you have to love it, it can take you anywhere.”

The UTSA Volleyball team de-fended their home court on Sat-urday, Oct. 15, and in the process put on an impressive show for the hometown fans.

The Roadrunners swept the visit-ing Nicholls Colonels in three sets (25-11, 25- 13, 25-14), and extend-ed their winning streak to eight matches. The Runners have domi-nated their recent competition, sweeping all eight of their previous opponents and are off to their best start ever in Southland Conference play.

Volleyball Head Coach Laura Neugebauer-Groff called this year’s squad the most complete team she has had at UTSA.

“If somebody is not having a good match, then I look down the bench and substitute (a player) and do not feel like I’m missing a whole lot,” Neugebaur-Groff said. “I feel we have a great chance to win the conference and go to the NCAA tournament again.”

The Roadrunners gained momen-tum early in the first set by scoring their first seven points consecu-tively and forcing the Colonels to take a quick time-out. The Runners took set one with behind UTSA ju-nior Whitney Walls’ four kills. Ju-nior Kelsey Schwirtlich made her presence known with 10 assists and eight digs in game one.

In the second set, the Colonels showed more fight but still did not seriously challenge the Roadrun-ners. The Runners took another victory as junior Brittney Malloy and Walls both added three kills. Freshman Dempsey Thornton had four kills of her own. Schwirtlich

continued to facilitate the offense and brought her assist total to 20 by the end of the second set.

The third set was the most com-petitive between the two teams. There were a total of nine ties before either team scored 10 points. Each side exchanged points right after each other, but the Runners com-pleted the sweep with sophomore McKenzie Adams’ and Thornton’s 10 kills and Walls’ 12 total kills in the match. Schwirtlich’s added 14 more assists in the final set which brought her total assists to an im-pressive 34, and a total of 12 digs.

Along with the Roadrunners’ impressive team records, the indi-vidual players have also collected a very impressive number of indi-vidual awards.

Showing no problems adjusting to her new team, Adams became the Roadrunners’ first player to win a national weekly award. On Oct. 11, Collegiate Volleyball Update named Adams the National Player of the Week. Adams is also first in the Southland in blocks with 1.4 blocks per frame and second in hit-ting percentage with .353.

Kelsey Jewasko leads the South-

land conference and is ranked 10th in the NCAA for digs with 10.56. She also is ranked second all time in UTSA history with 2,044 career digs. Jewasko believes the team’s incredible chemistry comes from this year’s success.

“It’s great to be out there with a group of girls who have your back,” Jewasko said. “Everyone has a dif-ferent role and everyone has been able to contribute. It’s a complete team effort. Looking to the future, we have potential to do some dam-age in the NCAA tournament.”

On her individual award, Adams

was honored but gave credit for the award to her teammates.

“It means a lot, but I couldn’t have done it without my team,” Ad-ams said. “We truly are a family and they are the reason why I can go out there and do my best.”

The Roadrunners will have two more opportunities to con-tinue their historic run when they face Texas A&M -Corpus Christi, Wednesday, Oct. 19, at 6:30 p.m., and when they host Lamar Saturday Oct. 22 at 2 p.m. Both games will be held in the Convocation Center.
