Partnership with Peterson: What’s the Cost to Schreiner?

With the new school year there are always good and bad changes. One of these changes has taken place in the Health and Wellness Center, located in the Mountain Fitness Center.

Last year, the Health and Wellness Center was run and operated by hired medical pro-

“The right things are hap-pening,” President Tim Summerlin praised the roomful of Schreiner’s professors, stu-dents, faculty, and staff eagerly awaiting the “good news” he had alluded to in his cryptic August email. The Friday, September 4th gathering took place after the conclusion of the twelfth class day, when administration tradi-tionally collects the enrollment

fessionals by Schreiner and offered free or almost-free services. Now, the Health and Wellness Center is oper-ated by Peterson Hospital. Peterson has hired a whole new staff of medi-cal professionals with a Nurse Practi-tioner acting as physician, instead of a doctor. Some students and faculty believe that these were good changes

and some do not. Based on the in-

formation I have gathered, a regu-lar office visit is no longer free, just like all of the oth-er services. How-ever, if you have health insurance and you file it with the Health and Wellness Center, most of the ser-vices and office visit can be free

depending on your health insur-ance and the coverage it provides.

Another aspect that has changed is the requirement of health insur-ance and a driver license on hand and on record to even be seen by the Nurse Practitioner. An advan-tage for having the Health and Wellness Center run by Peterson Hospital is having a physician on-site from 8 A.M. to 12 P.M. every Monday through Friday. In com-parison, last year the physician was available only two days of the

week. A regular office visit at the

Health and Wellness Center will end up costing a flat fee of $90. Depending on health insurance, the visit may or may not be cov-ered. If not, a cash or credit pay-out will be required after the visit.

The Health and Wellness Cen-ter also offers other services like STD testing, pregnancy tests, and

data for the new school year. For the first time in its 92-year history, Schreiner University is home to a total of 1,230 students—surpassing a goal the administration has sought to achieve since 1990, according to the Human Resources department. Last year, much to the dismay of fac-ulty and staff, the student-count was just short of the goal, reaching 1,128 students. Now, for the 2015 – 2016 year, 289 freshmen have joined the

Mountaineer community—a 9% increase from previous years—and the first-year retention rate has increased from 64% to a staggering 70%. These numbers, Dr. Summerlin was proud to declare, are “the accom-plishment of the campus” and the tireless efforts of faculty who work behind the scenes to help Schreiner grow beyond the classroom. Indeed, according to Dr. Lucian Costley, Director of Institutional Research and Analysis, this record-breaking

enrollment came two years ahead of schedule.“In the 10 years I have worked here, I have seen Schreiner grow more stu-dent-focused every year,” said Director of Admissions Caroline Randall. “Here, it’s clear that our passion is our students.” Dr. Summerlin congratu-lated those in attendance, declaring that “you make this an attractive place,” and listing the welcoming Schreiner community along-side University programs and location as the main rea-sons for enrollment in the freshmen class. The impressive feat means more for faculty, staff, and students than a mark on the University’s history, how-ever. According to the Dean for Enrollment Services, Toni Bryant, the accomplish-ment will allow for salary adjustments and additional resources for the student body. “The reason we have this goal is to demonstrate that our campus is full. If our classes and our resident hall are full, then we inter-pret this to mean that we are

The Reveille - September 20152 EDITORIAL

What’s Your Sound? For Better or For Worse?

Tuition Debates Heat Up Politics

But This is Today...

One of the most pressing questions for a musician to ask an ensemble is: “What’s your sound?” Is it gentle and serene? Robust and aggressive? Unique and funky? Does it break theoretical rules to get the audience’s attention? Is it more traditional to earn the foun-dational respect of the music commu-nity? Above all else, how is your sound YOURS and nobody else’s? Oddly enough, few college-level musicians can collectively identify an ensemble’s intended “sound,” much less describe their own soloistic musicality. Music, they claim, has become a job to them. They perform what is necessary for a grade or an ensemble and have no energy to devote to their own unique-ness. The concept that perhaps musi-cians (especially classically-trained musicians) have been unintentionally conditioned to play without personal-ity or individual passion struck me as startling. Even I, a musician of over a decade, could only clumsily describe my music as conservatively vagabond, aiming for a sound that would force the mind to wander to a time that is not our own. My arrival to this conclusion was not without arduous trial, however, and it inspired me to address the question of “sound” to other elements of the “col-lege experience.” As a student, I figured that “sound” could relate to academics, leadership, community involvement, friendships, extracurricular activities, campus jobs, and any number of special interests. In other words, a student could develop their uniqueness through anything that brought them into contact with and in some way influenced another person. So, just as (in an ideal world) no two musicians could ever have the same “sound,” no two students will, either.Considering my own experience, I feel as though I was metaphorically mute until only a year or two ago. When I became the Editor-in-Chief of the Reveille, I frankly had no idea what I was doing. All I knew for certain was that the budget had been decreased every year (a trend which has not changed) since I started as a fresh-man journalist and that the Schreiner

This weekend, as I worked at the little shop on a corner of Main Street, I looked out our antique windowpanes into the old street where thousands of cars and tourists transit each day, memories are made, and history is part of what built Fredericksburg. The cen-tury-old building that keeps the busi-ness used to be a drugstore, complete with an ice cream bar and barstools and a bartender who wiped down the counter every day. We can even see where the furniture went on the origi-nal floors we still have today. From all of this, all the history and legacy and hard work of people whose names I may never come to know, we are able to enjoy our little town today. But honestly, nothing would have survived or come to evolve into what we have now without the help and

community rarely had positive words to say about the paper. In other words, the newspaper had become a joke. This stigma inspired me to make a sound—perhaps my first ever—and change the paper for the bet-ter. Now, instead of publishing a paper once a semester, my journalist and edi-torial staffs work tirelessly to provide you with a full paper and broadsheet every other week. Although I have had many opportunities and experiences at Schreiner, I know that this is the impact I want to leave at Schreiner after I grad-uate. This is the “sound” I want to reso-nate within the Reveille and continue to apply to the rest of my professional life. What I have learned from my work on the paper I have applied to enhance my work within and outside of my campus experience—all valuable personal econ-omy, to say the least. I hope this editorial will inspire you to discover and declare your own sound. When John F. Kennedy famously encouraged the American people, “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country,” did he not essentially call the citizens to make an impact on their nation? To do rather than simply be? In this same light, readers, I encourage and urge you to look at your own lives.

How have you affected the people around you? Who have you helped? What impact have you made? What impact do you want to make? How do you want to be remembered?

What is your sound?

With everything happening with Hoonie, our beloved rooster, these past few weeks, many students have wondered, “Who’s paying the vet bill?” Many have joked on social media about this being included in the Schreiner Experience and expressed grief that their tuition is helping to pay for the livelihood of a chicken. Even prior to this incident, students have been wary of the ever-growing cost of tuition as a whole. But Schreiner is not the only school affected by this phenomenon. Many schools across the nation have been raising tuition fairly regularly since the 1970s, which par-tially explains why teenage voting has doubled since the 1970s. Politicians have not let this fact go unnoticed. Lowering the cost of college tuition has been a hot topic issue for candidates in the 2016 presidential election already. But are campaign promises of lower-ing tuition and relieving student loans really realistic? The majority of candidates have thrown around the term “debt-free college” as a response to this issue. But almost none of them have articu-lated what this means. It could mean government intervention in which there will be a program set in place for government funding to assist in paying off loans for students, such as Hillary Clinton (D), who believes it’s the gov-ernment’s job to assist in facilitating access to education. On the other end, not making any sort of federal loans available to any students, forcing them to find other means of paying for col-lege. Either way, this is vague language masking shoddy politics.Other than the majority, there have been plenty of other candidates who are trying their best to come up with a permanent solution to assist stu-dents. Lincoln Chafee (D) believes that our best bet as a nation is to increase

government funding for higher educa-tion. Rick Perry, known republican and our former governor, agrees. “I know you face skyrocketing tuition costs, and mounting student loan debt. I hear you, and I am going to do something about it,” Perry said in June of this year. While there are several candidates taking this issue seriously, a few candidates choose to write it off as an issue that’s not currently pressing. For instance, Ben Carson (R) doesn’t believe it’s the government’s job to assist with student loans. He claims that if families were more responsible, they wouldn’t have to rely on loans to pay for college. This claim is far from reality in the current economy and nature of higher education.Lastly, there is a candidate who origi-nally brought up the issue of student loan debt and helping out our gen-eration. While he’s the one that first voiced this issue, he might have the most radical of solutions: tuition-free college. Although it seems impossible, Bernie Sanders (D) seems to be confi-dent in this goal. “If our economy is to be strong, we need the best-educated workforce in the world. That will not happen if ... young people cannot afford to go to college.”

protection of one special institution: the police department. Yes, as I looked out the window, I saw our own officers, on bicycles, making their way through the town. They were stopped at the light, waving at children crossing the road. They smiled at them—maybe because of the joy of seeing them, maybe because their day-long shift was nearly over. I remember seeing their faces from the day we moved here, five years ago. They were the same officers I saw at the high school, at the park, at HEB, and in the store just to say hello or, in the worst of times, when we had to report a case of theft. Always there for us; always a part of the community. But this is today, a time when police figures are ridiculed, disrespected, even murdered. No person should be attacked

for their effort at making an honest liv-ing, and no human should cause harm to a civil serviceperson. That should be common sense and the most humane way to behave, but we have many heartless and inhuman persons in our world today. Although we may joke around about how we got pulled over and the encoun-ter with the officer was humorous, or how we noted a strange behavior from a cop, we need to remember that like with all people, you cannot judge a group of people by what one person does, and there is something in every-one that makes them capable or willing to do what they do. As mad and as passionate as you may be for an unjust event that happened, you cannot take it out on someone else. Women and men in the police force

have a courage and bravery that I do not have, and that is why I will let them do their jobs in protecting my commu-nity, even if is in the form of a ticket for a driving violation. I can only pray that others will do the same, and thus we can preserve our towns and communities with order for the future generations to look back upon us and say, “We may not know their names, or their faces see, but their work and laws they left us, for us to remember and to be.”

3EDITORIAL The Reveille - September 2015

As I do my homework alone in my room, I gaze over to the 1-gallon fish tank sitting on my desk, remember-ing that I needed to feed my fish. I bought my fish because it is the only “pet” allowed on the Schreiner campus if it is not a service animal. However, let’s be honest…a fish is boring. It will not respond to your calls. It cannot be touched. It will not make your day. In fact, a fish will do practically nothing. With this being said, I ask myself, “Why are we not allowed to have pets?” I have heard plenty of students on campus who wish to have an animal with them. In Deborah Wells’ Journal of Social Issues, she writes that even the act of stroking a pet “has . . . shown . . . tran-sient decreases in blood pressure and/or heart rate.” There is research to back up that having a pet is good for you! As college kids, stress is a factor that heav-ily influences our everyday routine. Allowing pets on campus could help this problem. Schools such as Duke University and the California Institute of Technology allow animals such as cats on campus with a permit. That does not seem like such a difficult thing to

Due to the recent removal of the Confederate flag from the South Carolina capitol, unofficially by Bree Newsome, and later “officially” by the South Carolina officials, there’s been a lot of controversy surrounding it. Is the flag a symbol of southern heritage, or of racism and hate? The answer is both. The Confederate flag is a symbol of southern heritage that carried, and con-tinues to carry, hate. Many people dis-agree, and those people are sadly mis-informed. The secession of confederacy was an act of racism, despite the other reasons your teachers in high school

gave you. Confederacy Vice President stated in his “Corner Stone” speech “Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner- stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and nor-mal condition.” making it very clear that the Confederacy as a whole was a racist institution. By continuing to celebrate the heritage behind this flag, you, my friends, are cel-ebrating the racism of our past—racism that we are still fighting to free ourselves of. “Heritage, not hate” does far more harm than good when you know the true history behind the flag and what it stands for. Celebrate your Southern pride all you like, but find another symbol for your pride—a symbol that does not carry hate behind it. Some suggestions I’ve come across are: Whataburger, Dr Pepper, horses, biscuits and gravy, football, sweet tea, chicken and waffles, or really any-thing else that makes the south as won-derful as we all believe it to be. The south is so much more than the sins of our past, it’s time we show that magnificence to everyone else.

add to our school. One problem does seem to arise—people caring for the apartment or dorm they live in. I know having a pet can be dirty, but if you let the right students have pets, the damage would not be sub-stantial. Maybe we could have weekly checks on the apartments with pets to make sure they are staying within the guidelines. Even if we cannot have animals in the apartments, maybe we could have days where the school brings some animals to campus for students to play with. Any type of exposure to our fluffy friends would be greatly appreciated. How many people are missing a beloved friend back home? Anyone with me for having animals on campus?

Some of us aren’t adventurous enough to live in a totally different country and experience a new culture, a new language, and new people. This isn’t the case for Felipe, a foreign exchange student from Colombia. I sat down and talked to him about what how he’s feeling about the transition.

Tell me a little bit about yourself! First, I am Christian. I like to paint, I like to watch movies. I like to travel, so for me, this experience was perfect.

What do you miss most about your home? Yes, I miss my family. (Do you talk to them often?) Yes. Commonly, all days, via Facebook. I miss my girlfriend too.

Why did you choose Schreiner University? Schreiner and my university in Colombia have been creating an association, and the idea is that students from Colombia go to another country. In this case for me, the US. So why? First, Schreiner is a little similar with my university in the sense that the community is like a family. It is not like the big universities that have a lot of people. Sometimes it is like you are with a lot of people, but you feel alone. It is the same with Schreiner as my other university; I feel like I’m not alone. I know more people, it’s easier. For example, I was talking with a friend here, and she told me that she was a student in a university, and in her class she was with 300 students. Well here, we are maximum 20 students. For me, that has many advantages. It is easier to make progress in class. The third reason is the environment. It is very peaceful here. This is a perfect place to relax.Have you decided on a major?My major is business. In Columbia, it’s different. We don’t have a major and a degree, we only have a major. In a major, we have all the degree options. For example, here I can have a degree in marketing. Well in Columbia, no, my major would be business and marketing and finance and accounting.

What do you do for fun when you’re not studying? On weekends, I have been traveling to different places. Last weekend, I was in Austin. This weekend I will go to a lake. I can say that at the moment, I have time to study and relax, visit other places, and have meetings with some friends I have here. It’s cool.

Big thanks to Felipe for letting me talk to him about his experiences so far!

Hoonie Survives AttackStory by: Marty Garcia Co-EditorPhotos by: Katie Bishop Editor-in-Chief

On September 15th, our resident rooster Hoonie was attacked by two dogs who had wandered on campus early in the morning.

Thanks to the coorperation of several students and campus police, Hoonie was recovered and taken to a local veternarian, where his wounds were stitched up and he could rest while being monitered.

Thanks to mass emails sent by Dr. Candice Scott, the Schreiner commu-nity has been able to stay up-to-date on Hoonie’s condition and progress. Hoonie is now recovering steadily at the

chicken ranch of Dr. Claudia Sullivan. Here, Hoonie can see other chickens but is still maintained away from the group and fed by hand. Dr. Sullivan has heard him crow, whic points a positive path for Hoonie’s return to campus.

There was lots of support expressed for Hoonie’s recovery from Monty the mascot to Rafters, Schreiner’s textbook rental partners, who made a video wishing Hoonie a speedy recovery.

Until we see Hoonie strut his stuff around the commons again, we will surely miss his crow and his clucks!

Paws Portal Pounces

Partnership continued

For many Schreiner students, the role that student organiza-tions play in their college is expe-rience is irreplaceable. This year, Schreiner University has taken a step toward making your involve-ment even easier.

Fall 2015 marks the beginning of the integration of the PAWS Portal for RSO, or recognized stu-dent organizations, registration and participation.

The new system, which con-nects to the already-familiar Sch-reinerOne, not only files contact information for all of SU’s organi-zations and enables inter-group—communication; it also facilitates the university to validate the ex-tra-curricular work submitted by students.

Ariel Leary, Assistant Dean of Housing, is currently in charge of student activities at Schreiner, and says that the integration of the PAWS Portal offers many new tools to students, groups, and fac-ulty. Participation seems to have improved this year, she says, with the 10th annual involvement fair helping to draw in many new fac-es to campus involvement.

One organization of particular interest to Ariel this year is Resi-

out events that correspond with each of these 5 S’s. For Service, we are expected to

hold three community service events per semester; for Social, we are ex-pected to hold two social events per semester (like our annual Hoedown) and the women of our chapter are expected to be actively involved in other campus activities like Panhel-lenic, sports teams, social clubs, and honor societies. Each of the 5 S’s have specific guidelines that must be

dence Life. Hoping for better out-reach to resident students, ResLife aims to integrate more advocates for each residence hall and offer a better campus life experience to students.

“A great amount of effort and pride have gone into this,” she says, de-scribing the system of chosen repre-sentatives that will be established to address concerns. This group, like all of the recognized student organiza-tions on campus, had until Septem-ber 11 of this year to register on the PAWS Portal.

While this date was mandated for groups, and a potential reward of an Amazon gift card was up for grabs, students wishing to join any orga-nization can join at any point in the semester. There are a number of reasons for getting involved, chief among them an enhanced college experience. “Students involved with organizations tend to do better,” Leary says, “These organizations can help you build a support system. They lead to greater caring.”

For more information, about the PAWS Portal, Student Activities, or how to get involved, please contact Ariel Leary at ACLearty@schreiner.edu, or the listed president of your organization, whose information is available on the group PAWS Page.

met and can potentially earn us points. At the end of each year, our

Leadership Team documents all of our events, grades, civic engagements, and other crite-ria into the CAP system through which we earn points associated with each of our 5 S’s. If we earn 1,917 points (1917

at our biennial convention. Membership in the 1917 club

means that we are recognized in-ternationally as a “5 Star Chap-ter,” which has been a goal for the Gamma Gamma chapter for many years. This year, with our past President Ashley Rodriguez, we were able to meet that goal! We are so excited and proud

to have achieved this lofty goal and intend to hold this title for the foreseeable future!

....like STD testing, preg-nancy tests, and other normal services that any doctor office provides. These services will also cost a flat fee if not covered by the health insurance. The opinions I have received from other students around campus have demonstrated mixed feel-ings. Some students feel more confident to use the Health and Wellness center since Peterson has taken it over and employed trained medical professionals. Others argue negative opinions that not everything is free in the Health and Wellness Center—a perk students have enjoyed for

some time now. Thus, some stu-dents have expressed that they feel Schreiner should make all services at the Health and Well-ness Center free.

According to students that have visited the Health and Wellness Center this semester, the new staff and Nurse Practi-tioner are very sweet, organized, professional, and quick. Overall, the Health and Wellness Cen-ter has its pros and cons, but in the end they always are there to provide great and professional medical service to the Schreiner student body.

While there may be plenty of events to keep you busy on cam-pus, if you’re looking beyond the Schreiner gates for some fun, we have some great options. If you’re looking for shopping, check out the Kerrville Market Days at the Courthouse Square on the 4th Saturday of every month. Market Days is an open air farmers mar-ket with everything from home-baked sweets to handcrafted artwork. If you’re looking for a similar event, the Fredericksburg Trade Days occur the weekend of every third Saturday (making the next date October 16 – 18). Trade Days advertises over 350 ven-dors with everything from foods and homemade cosmetics, to an-tiques and home décor.

If you’re looking for more re-laxing live entertainment, check out the local theatres, includ-ing the Point Theatre in Ingram, which will be showing The Beau-ty Queen of Leenane on week-ends between October 9 and 24. There’s also the Fredericksburg Theatre Company, which will be showing Our Town, premiering October 16 and closing on No-vember 1. The Symphony of the Hills at the Cailloux Theatre will also be hosting a concert entitled “Heroes: Real and Imagined” on October 8, complete with he-roically themed music from the movies, video games, and featur-ing Beethoven’s Eroica sympho-ny. The Cailloux Theatre will host a tribute concert in honor of The Eagles on October 23, complete

Grab your parents’ old Rolling Stones t-shirt—the seventies are back! The realm of fashion is con-stantly changing, from overalls to peplum skirts. This year, the fashion world took us by surprise by bringing back old seventies favorites with a modern twist. The seventies gave the world our first taste of the high-waist: from pants, shorts and skirts, the style was a huge deal then and has made an even bigger come-back this season. While it may not be what’s on the runway at New York Fashion Week, it’s popular in street style. What’s the next popular style

from the seventies? A little thing we like to call Palazzo pants. Their wide leg and super loose fit make for extremely comfort-able yet very fashionable pants. Today, designers have taken this concept and made them modern with new patterns and fabrics. Certain Palazzo pants also have another element reminiscent of a popular seventies staple: flared

with a nationally applauded sound and light show.

Great live music can also be found in Luckenbach Texas, just outside of Fredericksburg. With an out-door stage for afternoon shows and an indoor hall for evening dances, Luckenbach is the perfect weekend music destination. Featuring art-ists like Weldon Henson, Courtney Patton, and Thomas Michael Riley (as well as countless local artists), there’s always someone playing at Luckenbach. Stop by for evening pickers circles every weeknight be-ginning at 5:00 P.M. to hear acous-tic sets with local players, or come by Friday afternoons for outdoor shows with hill country artists play-ing everything from country to blues, folk, and Americana. Every Saturday night at 8:00 P.M. there’s an indoor dance in the historic dance hall, with tickets available either online at www.luckenbach-texas.com or at the doors.

Speaking of Luckenbach, on Octo-ber 24 they will be hosting the Har-vest Classic—a classic motorcycle rally. Stop by around noon to see vintage motorcycles and all kinds of souped-up machines. Later in the day there will be a barbeque, raffle, and outdoor music; in the evening they’ll show a movie in the meadow behind the dance hall. The best part about the weekend is that it’s all for a good cause. The proceeds benefit the Candlelighters Childhood Can-cer program, which provides sup-port to families of children battling childhood cancer.

Crumbs Restaurant, located in the historic downtown area of Kerrville. Crumbs has a menu that includes everything from burgers and sandwiches to soups and salads. The beauty of Crumbs is that it fits the budget for every college student, with the most expensive item on the menu un-der $10. Additionally, the res-taurant’s location, located in the heart of downtown Kerrville, has some of the best of the Hill Coun-try attractions within a half mile radius.

When we entered crumbs, freshman photographer MacK-enzie McFadden and I had no idea what to expect, but the menu had some interesting items. The manager, Dainelle Logan, sat down with us and explained that everything at Crumbs was locally made and with fresh items from right here in Kerr county.

One of the things we all found to be a big selling point at Crumbs was the atmosphere and staff.

From the minute you walk in, you feel like you’re in an upgraded version of an old time mom-‘n-pop diner. The name “Crumbs” comes from the tradition of break-ing bread: the owners felt that we would not only be leaving crumbs of bread in this restaurant, but crumbs of ourselves. This is ap-parent from the way Logan tried to make a personal connection with all of her patrons, adding to the restaurant’s homey feel.

McFadden ordered the avo-cado ranch burger—apparently a crowd favorite—and said about her mean, “That’s a damn good burger; I have no complaints.” She also noted that the lettuce and tomato was very fresh. With the burger and iced tea, McFad-

den’s total was just over $12. The portion sizes were quite large, leading to leftovers for most people.

I ordered the Buffalo wings. While I enjoyed them, I did have two critiques. The first is that the Buffalo wings were boneless and not the traditional “on the bone style,” which I am more used to. Also, while I received a good dozen wings, I felt that the sides of celery and carrots were not big enough portions. Overall the wings were hot and chewy, and the homemade ranch sauce was mouthwater-ing. The price was just right, closing my check under budget at around $11.

As a whole, this restaurant definitely seemed like some-place we would all go back to. McFadden and I agreed it would be a great place to hang out, study, or sit down for a family meal. The only concern we could note was the hours of

operation. Crumbs is open from 11-3 Monday through Thursday and from 11-8 on Friday, Sat-urday, and Sunday. This isn’t convenient with a lot of student schedules when you consider that the good, home-cooked food takes a 20-minute wait. If you’re in a hurry on your lunch break, this probably isn’t the place for you, but if you have the time we suggest giving Crumbs a try. This is a great place to sit down, eat good food, talk with friends, and enjoy a night in downtown Kerrville.

legs. That’s right, flare legs are back! I know what you’re think-ing, and no I’m not talking about the bell-bottom pants adorning disco floors; flare pants don’t have as wide of an ankle. To make this style work, ladies, pair flared pants with a nice heel or wedge and you are good to go! In addition to the high-waist

and Palazzo pants, the latest style brought back from the seventies is the jumpsuit. Ever want to be stylish and lazy at the same time? What’s better than a fabulous one-piece? Besides the fabric and pat-terns, jumpsuits have remained the same since the seventies for the most part. One of the great things about jumpsuits is that they come in a variety of pant and top styles. The leg can vary from wide, flare, or skinny; while the top could be a halter, spaghetti-strapped, or strapless! The jumpsuit possibili-ties are endless! All of these styles are trendy and comfortable, with the added throw-back fun of the seventies!

SOAP (Schreiner Outdoor Adventure Program) - Paintball This year the Schreiner Outdoor

Adventure Program (S.O.A.P) is excited to present a most adrenaline filled experience as we take students from campus into the unforgiving fields of the Kerrville paintball course.

The event will be led by non-other than Senior Micheal Marchan, the new student manager of the S.O.A.P. program at the Mountaineer Fitness Center (M.F.C).

On September 26th, a Saturday, you will head out and be placed on teams to engage in paintball warfare against your fellow peers.

At this time, you can sign up by emailing Marchan at mmarchan@schreiner.edu and if you are one of the first 15 people to sign up you will only have to pay $5.00; anyone after this will pay $10.00.

Stay posted for details on other events like flyboarding in Austin, Enchanted rock yoga, and the Colorado Ski Trip.

MFC Special Interest/ EventsThe Mountaineer Fitness Center and

Campus Recreation are happy to see everyone getting involved on campus and we are eager to start this year with the many special events and inter-mural events that will be happening throughout the semester.

This year on October 3 we will be having our annual Color Run 5k with a little twist—there will be inflatables! If you would be interested in running

in the event or just simply participating as volunteers, both are options for you.

On Sunday, October 4 following the Color Run we are throwing a softball game for family weekend.

Basketball Midnight Madness this year will be Wednesday, October 14.

Our most elaborate event this year will be on Friday and Saturday, October 23 – 24 and will be the first of its kind here at Schreiner University.

The MFC Haunted Escape will change the MFC for two nights into a haunted town full of horrific and frightening ghouls. The students and community will be tasked to find Monty and items in the labyrinth situated inside the vari-ous rooms of the fitness center.

Come out this October and be a part of this event. We are looking for volun-teers that have experience with makeup, acting, and working stations. This event is free and is not charging any kind of entry fee.

This event is open to the community of Kerrville and all Schreiner students.

Health & WellnessThe Health & Wellness department

located in the Mountaineer Fitness Center is happy to announce that on October 1, from 10:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. there will be a health fair in the lobby of the Mountaineer Fitness Center.

Attention Mountaineers: there is a new head coach on campus! Although Coach Philip Anderson is not new to Schreiner University, he has been named the new head coach of the Schreiner Cross-Country Team. Coach Anderson actually graduated from Schreiner in 2012.

He discussed how Schreiner is such a small and friendly campus that it feels as though everyone knows you on a personal level and wants to sup-port you. This could be one of the many reasons he became the assis-tant coach for the Women’s Soccer team from 2013-14, and for the men’s program in 2015. He took this oppor-tunity as a way to eventually get into head coaching.

With two coaching jobs displayed out in front of him, Coach Anderson realizes that plenty of hard work needs to be put into the cross-country and men’s soccer team. He talked about how he has “plans of growing the reserve soccer program” and working with the main team to build the skills and practice they need to make it to the top. As for the cross-country team, he wants to find ways to make cross-country more recognizable on campus and make sure the members are run-ning faster and faster every time.

If anyone is still interested in join-ing the team, there is plenty of space for more runners! Email Coach Anderson at PAAnderson@schreiner.edu or stop by his office in the MFC to discuss the time commitment and requirements.

Outside of Schreiner life, Coach Anderson enjoys spending time with

his wife and family. He also finds time to enjoy his true passion—sports. The only way you can get better is if you keep playing. Coach Anderson takes life day by day and does not let anything get in the way of his dreams. He humorously compared this cross-country, say-ing that you “just keep putting one foot in front of the other.” He also thinks it is important to talk to the athletes on campus and ask them questions about what is going on. This lets the athletes know that you support them and they love the encouragement! Remember to watch out for the cross-country and men’s soccer teams and come out to support the Mountaineers whenever you can!
