UTSA celebrated their 36th annual Best Fest this past homecoming weekend the Convocation Center lawn and parking lot.

UTSA’s bestsellers’ theme paid homage to the best-selling items sold at major Texas festivals and fairs. The event began with the Rowdy Rally before their game against FIU the fol-lowing day. Best Fest of-fered activities for students and faculty from carnival rides, live performances, a fireworks display, a golf cart parade and student organi-zation booths.

The event was a success due to a large turnout with student organizations ar-riving early to prepare their booths. From Hufflepuff to Hunger Games themes,

students added their own creative flair to attract cus-tomers. The booths’ visual appeal, coupled with vari-ous menu items, contrib-uted to Best Fest’ success.

Pre-physical Therapy So-ciety member, Marissa Ma-rio, shared “We are selling chicken nuggets today. It took us about two and a half hours to set up and we’ve had a pretty good number of our members coming ro-tating in and out. So far we are having a lot of fun.”

VIP Gospel Choir mem-ber Jasmine Gatlin added, “We’re selling funnel cakes with chocolate, strawberry preserves, whipped cream, and powdered sugar.”

The Filipino Student As-sociation (FSA) sold pork and vegetable dumplings wrapped around a rice pa-per which garnered much attention. Voices (Volun-teer Organization Involved

“We sleep with it, we wake up with it, we drive with it, we eat with it, we talk with it and we feel with

it,” said UTSA professor Dr. Seok Kang about humans and their smartphone use.

Humans rely on smart phones. They are the most widely used method of communication; it is an all-in-one device that ful-fills the 24-hour, day-to-day needs the first world.

Such dutiful reliance on smartphones suggested to

Kang, who began studying human smartphone depen-dency in 2012, that people equipped with a cellphone may have their intrinsic and extrinsic needs met by the device. These needs include physiological needs, safety, social, esteem and self-ac-tualization — Maslow’s hi-erarchy of needs.

Kang joined with Jaemin Jung, renowned scholar at the Korea Advanced Insti-tute of Science and Tech-nology (KAIST), to inves-tigate if smartphones can meet basic needs.

Kang and Jung created a scale to determine the ex-tent that smartphones met human needs. They then collected data through two studies in the United States

This is the second article in a two-part series that discusses the treatment of non tenure track faculty at UTSA. The first article “Do you value your profes-sor?” appeared in the Sept. 30 issue

of The Paisano.

In his State of the University Address, UTSA President Ricardo Romo announced his intention to hire over 50 new research pro-fessorships in the next few years. These new UTSA professors will focus in the areas of cyber security, biomedicine, social and educational transformation and sustainability. No plans to hire or alter non-re-search, non-tenured faculty were mentioned.

A new committee, led by Dr. Daniel Engster, a tenured UTSA professor, was created to consider the non-tenure track issue, central-ize the information and report its findings to President Romo. The committee will analyze the number of non tenure track professors that work at UTSA and professors’ sala-ries, considering variables such as number of courses taught and the different levels of lecturers.

UTSA adjunct professors (non-tenure track faculty) usually earn $3,000 to $5,000 per class — a

After the first few lessons, Sierra Luna was hooked — on karate. That was twelve years ago. Captivated by the discipline’s mental and physical challenges, Luna, now a 3rd degree black belt, is a national and interna-tional karate champion as well as a UTSA student.

“I was 15 years old, sitting on the floor, listening to this man in a white uniform with a black belt, and I just remember being so nervous,” Luna recalled about her first karate class. The instructor wanted us to know that karate wasn’t just this thing but an art,” she continued. “In my head I thought, ‘This is serious.’ I knew I had to make a choice then, and I chose to stick with it - a year

later, I started competing.”Last month Luna competed in

the Association for International Sport for All’s (TAFISA) Inaugural World Martial Arts Games in Rich-mond, British Columbia.

The TAFISA competition be-gan Sept. 5 and had over 300 par-ticipants from 11 countries. Luna placed in all three of the categories she competed in, ranking second in both the Open Hand and the Jap-anese-Okinawan Wooden Weap-

and South Korea. Both countries were chosen not only because they have dis-tinct cultural backgrounds but are also technologically advanced and have high cell phone usage.

In their first study, Kang and Jung adapted the scale they created to a survey and administered it to 437 American university stu-dents and 378 Korean uni-versity students.

The results from their ini-tial effort showed that not only could a smartphone meet the five basic needs of humans but it could also do so regardless of cultures. They found that because the smartphone is deeply embedded in daily rou-tines, many people view the smartphone as being a nec-essary device and a lifeline for communication.

In their second study,

Kang and Jung considered how students actually used their phone to satisfy those needs. A total of 673 U.S.

students and 376 Korean students participated in the survey.

U.S. users used their smart phones mostly for In-ternet browsing, calls, text messages and mobile apps. Conversely, Korean smart-phone users found enter-tainment and convenience to be the most important phone functions.

Kang explained that the Korean users considered group connectedness to be a very important aspect

of their smart phone use, while the U.S. users were more individualistic in their smartphone use.

According to Kang, the U.S. culture views social media as a way to showcase individual achievement, while Korean culture views social interaction as the main purpose for their so-cial media use.

“One interesting finding,” Kang said, “is that both U.S. and Korean smartphone us-ers do not think the smart-phone is a symbol of status or a prestigious item.”

“In other words,” Kang explained, “the smartphone

needs are a global phenom-enon regardless of the dif-ferences in communication culture.”

Kang hopes the findings from the study can be ap-plied to other countries.

“The smartphone Basic Needs Scale (we used in our study) can be a standard guideline about how hu-man beings meet their im-plicit and explicit needs us-ing the smartphone,” Kang explained.

The studies’ findings showed that although the use of a smartphone for meeting basic needs is cul-turally driven and some differences exist, the simi-larities suggest there may be a universal smartphone culture.

As Kang hopes to discov-er in other countries, “The smartphone needs are a global phenomenon. Simply speaking, they are now part of our daily lives.”

“It’s unreal,” Luna said. “It’s been a whole month since then, and I still can’t wrap my head around it.”

Luna, 28, was one of only three people from Texas invited to join the United States Martial Arts Team and compete in the TA-FISA tournament. She has studied karate for the last 12 years, specializing in the Hayashi-ha Shito-Ryu style.

“I was a sophomore in high school and over-

weight,” said Luna,who ini-tially took the sport up as a way to incorporate exercise into her life.

“Originally, I was just going to join some gym; I was really lucky the class I signed up for ended up be-ing the style I stuck with.”

Since then, Luna has competed in more tourna-ments than she can count.

Despite her familiarity with elite competition, each tournament excites her as much as her first. “I love the preparation that goes into tournaments; I love train-ing. That added pressure, knowing I’m working for

something — it pumps me up so much.”

In her free time, Luna teaches at the Sanchin Karate Dojo where she trains. After earning her kinesiology degree at UTSA, she plans on work-ing as a physical education instructor at the elemen-tary school level.

“I would like to get a trial martial arts curriculum ap-proved,” she said, “to see if it has any impact on the kids’ attitudes or their grades. Eventually, I’ll open up my own karate school or fitness center.”

Luna is also involved with

the local non-profit organi-zation United Communi-ties of San Antonio (UCSA). They work to eliminate bul-lying, bigotry and racism by promoting understand-ing and respect, which is something Luna believes in. “My mom’s the executive director (of UCSA),” she ex-plained, “so I’ve grown up with these programs.”

“It’s about self-improve-ment,” Luna said, reflect-ing on her recent successes. “I started karate because I loved the idea that I could get better at something throughout my life; I will always love that about it.”

We are selling tostadas, so we do the refried beans first and then we do the meat. You can then add the meat, cheese, lettuce, salsa or sour cream for only $2.” The affordable food prices

minimal amount, espe-cially when compared to some tenured research pro-fessors. This pay disparity could cause excellent pro-fessors to leave UTSA for higher paying jobs.

“I hated leaving UTSA, but I had to choose between my small house and teach-ing full time,” said former UTSA English professor Marguerite Newcomb. Newcomb left the universi-ty after purchasing a house in 2010 because she could not afford her mortgage on her UTSA salary.

The median salaries of UTSA Writing Core Pro-gram’s lecturers I and se-nior lectures are $24,402 and $48,048 respectively.

Newcomb began teach-ing at UTSA in 2001. She taught a variety of courses for the Writing Program and the English Depart-ment during her nine years at the university.

“Working with students energizes me, and there is nothing more satisfying than having a student find his or her voice and get ex-cited about learning,” she said. Now Newcomb works for a corporation, creating

courses for universities all over the world.

Newcomb’s account dem-onstrates that skills pro-fessors exercise are often transferable, marketable and valuable in the private sector. UTSA’s not-so-stel-lar treatment of non-tenure track faculty has already had some impacts.

Additionally, Newcomb claimed, “Writing doesn’t get the respect from those who make curriculum de-cisions in Texas, so writing instructors are woefully un-derpaid and underrespect-ed.”

Recently retired Eng-lish professor Bonnie Ly-ons stated that while she was teaching at UTSA, she voiced — often at faculty meetings — that non-ten-ure track professors should

receive better treatment from the university.

The writing program has 17 lecturers and 4 senior lecturers. Lyons also argued that non-tenured professors with experience deserve pay raises. Although Lyons’ vocal stance may have made her unpopular at times, she said that no UTSA admin-istrator ever attempted to stifle her opinions.

Starting at lecturer I and moving to the highest non-tenure track faculty position can be a struggle, said professor Dr. Cristina de Martinez, a non-tenure track language professor at UT Austin. Most non-ten-ure track faculty hold a doc-torate, a few have a masters and extensive experience in their respective fields. De Martinez explained that despite the struggle, most of her colleagues are will-ing to stay at the univer-sity for the love of teaching. However, de Martinez con-tinued, the language and English departments are no stranger to non-tenure track lecturers moving to the private sector, often to work at publishing houses

4 OPINION

While everything may be bigger in Texas, voter turnout is not.

Texans have a chance to buck this trend thanks to a recent ruling by U.S. District Judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos of Corpus Christi who de-clared Texas’ voter ID law to be unconstitutional.

In 2011, the Texas legis-lature passed SB 14, requir-ing voters to show a form of identification before casting their vote. Acceptable forms of ID include a Texas driver’s license or photo ID no more than 60 days expired, a con-cealed handgun license, a U.S. passport, a military photo ID or a citizenship certificate with a photo.

Critics of the law noted

that student IDs are not al-lowed even if issued by a state institution.

Producing just one ID seems simple enough. Those of us fortunate to receive a college education typically already have at least one of these forms of ID. However, reaching out to the college-educated workforce has never been an issue. SB 14 is especially detrimental to less-educated, working-class minorities whose voice has traditionally been absent in the voting booth.

A study conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau found that in the 2012 presidential election 73 percent of voters were White, 13 percent were Black and 8 percent were His-

panic. During that same year, a

speech given by U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder revealed that studies indicate 25 per-cent of the Black population lacks a government-issued ID while only 8 percent of the White population faced this same problem.

Voting history in Texas is shameful. From Whites-only primaries to literacy tests, mi-norities have been historically disadvantaged at the polls.

Ramos said in her 147-page opinion that “SB 14 creates an unconstitutional burden on the right to vote, has an impermissible discriminatory effect against Hispanics and African-Americans and was imposed with an unconsti-

tutional discriminatory pur-pose.”

Ramos also added, “The Court further holds that SB 14 constitutes an unconstitu-tional poll tax.”

Preventing voter fraud was the primary reason lawmak-ers gave for creating the voter ID law.

However, according to the Office of Texas Attorney General Gregg Abbott, only 51 people have been convict-ed of voter fraud in the last decade. Of those 51, only four were prosecuted for voter im-personation — the only type of fraud that ID laws protect against. The other 47 resulted from false mail-in ballots.

Abbott plans to immedi-ately appeal Judge Ramos’

decision. If successful in his appeal, Abbott, who is also the Republican gubernatorial nominee, could reinstate SB 14 before the upcoming elec-tions.

It’s time for students to start caring about politics.

Student loans, health care, reproductive access and the post-graduate job market are just some of the many promi-nent issues students inevita-bly face or will face.

It is no longer good enough to simply be registered to vote. Students have a respon-sibility to make it to the polls in this election. Voting and civic engagement among stu-dents, regardless of party af-filiation, lets lawmakers know it’s time to include everyone.

Dear Editor,

This is regarding the Oct. 7 article titled “The Green Fund Withers.” As mem-bers and past chairs of the Green Fund committee, we felt we needed to respond to the negatively toned article. With the exception of UTSA and UTEP, all of the other Texas universities that have the Green Fund also have an office of sustainability. This includes paid staffing to as-sist in promoting their green fee process as well as solicit-ing proposals, which would include designing a web site. Soliciting for proposals has been a major concern and action item for every Green

Fund committee since its inception. The Green Fund committee is a volunteer committee made up of stu-dents, staff and faculty who are giving of their own time to assist in increasing the sustainability of the UTSA campus and community.

Since the Green Fund started accepting proposals and funding projects, the Green Fund has contributed greatly to the sustainabil-ity of UTSA in many ways. The proposed sustainabil-ity director is another step in UTSA’s drive to emulate what other “Tier One” uni-versities are doing to better their campus environment. This position would not take

the place of the Green Fund committee (it would be a violation of its own charter). The position would instead be the force to organize sus-tainable progress on cam-pus.

The Green Fund is not “withering” away. The com-mittee’s process had a slow start in learning how to manage the process of im-plementing change at UTSA but has been growing stron-ger every year. By its charter, new committee members must be found every year, and there has not been a shortage of dedicated and driven individuals to come to the helm and collaborate and learn from established

members what works and what does not.

So instead of “withering,” the Green Fund is finishing strong. Its influence can be seen throughout the campus community. Projects that re-duced waste and energy, like double-sided printing, recy-cling projects and LED light-ing to projects that beautify our campus by planting 100s of trees around the 1604 entrance oval to diverting air conditioning condenser water (not gray water) so that the Sombrilla fountain can run again, even dur-ing a drought. So maybe in the future Paisano writers could highlight the benefits of the Green Fund and act

to influence positive change, perhaps by informing the UTSA community how they can submit their green fund proposal by going to utsa.edu/sga/greenfund.

Sincerely,

Chad Sundol, Green Fund Chair Fall 2013; Michelle Garza, Green Fund Chair Spring 2014; Merced Carba-jal, Green Fund Committee Member 2011-12; Madi-son Rosene, Alumni 2012, Green Fund Vice Chair 2014

Oct. 12 marked eleven consecutive years for Art-pace’s Chalk It Up, an event that turns the Historic East Houston street into a beau-tiful, temporary collage of chalk murals. Chalk It Up is Artpace’s biggest com-munity event of the year and promotes creativity, art education and the freedom to dream.

This free, family-friendly event hosts a variety of ac-tivities, musicians and food vendors. It was easy to en-joy a full day with Chalk It Up, which lasted from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

This year’s Chalk It Up was almost overshadowed by the sudden downpour of rain that morning.

At the beginning of the event, the flood-like weath-er conditions threatened Chalk It Up’s ability to con-tinue. The event’s Facebook page showed people were hesitant to attend.

Luckily, Chalk It Up con-tinued, rain or shine. By noon, Houston Street was no longer flooded with rain but with hordes of people, over 20,000 in total. This mob of attendees con-sisted of adults, kids, pets and Chalk It Up’s 300 vol-unteers, and they all were there to enjoy fantastic works of public art.

People of all ages were able to create chalk draw-ings in the event’s “free-style” zone with free chalk provided by Chalk It Up, in partnership with the San Antonio Museum of Art. There were also make-your-own printed bandana tables, a Haiku station, tem-porary tattoo booths and many other activities.

The Guerrilla Haiku booth was ambitious with their goal of gathering five

hundred or more haikus created by attendees dur-ing the day. They wanted to show the importance of blending visual and literary art while showcasing San Antonio’s talent.

Spaces were reserved for displaying the works of Art-pace’s 20 local artists, three of whom are currently host-ed in Artpace’s gallery. They were chosen by guest-coor-dinator and Contemporary Art Month co-chairman, Nina Hassele.

These artists showcased their talents on four-foot by six-foot spaces during Chalk it Up. Some created stunning artworks that rep-resented San Antonio’s col-orful, Hispanic influence as well as current social and political ideals, while others were more abstract and per-formance based.

While the professional artists were impressive, many “teamworks” – mu-rals created by companies, schools and other organiza-tions – made many stop and

stare in wonder. UTSA had its own mural

space created by three art majors in the graduate art program: Justin Koraver, Allysa Dana and Sarah Fox. Their “teamwork” project incorporated a mural, de-signed by Justin and Sarah, and costumes by Allysa. They encouraged other at-tendees to interact with the images and pose for photos.

Other schools, such as Southwest School of Art, used murals to send a mes-sage about the changing art community in San Antonio. They did this with the slo-gan, “One line can start a revolution,” and their fan-tastic mural that referenced constructivism and revo-lutionary posters from the Cold War era.

This event deserved the crowd it drew, and after the day was done, the images left over from a day of free, artistic fun still decorated San Antonio’s Houston Street.

When listening to the Ohio-based band Walk the Moon, you’re not just lis-tening to funky, upbeat mu-sic; you’re listening to funky, upbeat music that has a purpose.

The band, formed in 2008 by lead singer Nicho-las Petricca, is becoming well known in the indie rock community for creat-ing happy tunes. The group of four includes Petricca, Kevin Ray, Sean Wauga-man and Eli Maiman. They released their first album “I Want!, I Want!” in 2010 and signed with Mick Manage-ment soon after to work on producing an LP.

Last summer, they joined Panic! At the Disco on “The Gospel Tour,” creating quite a buzz. Their own tour, “Shut Up and Tour,” kicked off on Oct. 8 in Seattle and will end in Philadelphia on Nov. 5. Catch them when they come to Austin’s The Parish on Oct. 26.

Their new single, “Shut Up and Dance,” debuted

Sept. 10, and it is absolutely one to listen to. While their new untitled album doesn’t release until later this year, “Shut Up and Dance” defi-nitely gives listeners some-thing to look forward to. All you will want to do while listening to this song is shut up and dance with anyone around you.

The single is now avail-able on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play and Spotify. This insanely catchy song will be in your head all the time and in the best way possible.

Inspired by artists such as Talking Heads, David Bowie and Grizzly Bear, Walk the Moon has a bit of pop mixed in with their cool indie spirit. Their awe-some guitar riffs and sick bass drums give off an indie rock-esque vibe that will make even the most chill hipsters want to listen.

With positive and upbeat songs the band is hard to re-sist. Their toe-tapping cho-ruses and well thought-out lyrics will have you listening to them on repeat for days. Check out their songs; you will not regret it.

From Oct. 6 to Oct. 11, UTSA celebrated its 2014 Homecoming Week. The university and its student organizations hosted count-less events to pay homage to the university’s alumni.

On Oct. 6, the Student Black Leadership Council, Youth Behind Movement and Men of Honor hosted “Wild ’N’ Out” in the Uni-versity Center Retama Au-ditorium at 8:30 p.m. The show was a parody of Nick Cannon’s MTV2 sketch comedy and improvisation television series. UTSA’s Blue Team and Black Team battled head to head in games such as “Family Re-union” and “How Fly is He.”

The lovely “Wild ‘N’ Out” girls kept the crowd pumped, and episodes from the UTSA exclusive web series “Real Boyfriends of UTSA” were shown. The night ended with laughter, a victory by the Blue Team and live performances from the Black Student Union Dance Team and student Walter Moten.

On Oct. 7, the Roadrun-ners Live annual homecom-ing talent show kicked off in the Convocation Center at 8:30 p.m. with dancing, singing and comedy for a night packed with enjoy-ment.

The judges’ table con-sisted of members from the homecoming court, includ-

ing Korede Osifuwa and Je-rome Scott, as well as exec-utive board members from student organizations, such as Christian Kenney from the Student Government Association. More than 10 student organizations competed, but the Filipino Student Association took home first place, followed by Phi Beta Sigma Incorpo-rated and the Black Student Union Dance Team.

Wednesday, Oct 8. was full of laughs as Dormtain-

ment’s stand-up comedy show in the H.E.B Universi-ty Center Ballroom started at 8:30 p.m. This night was full of barbershop humor, campus-life jokes and side-splitting punch lines.

The crowd then shifted to the UC Paseo for the monthly Hump Day, hosted by the National Pan-Hellen-ic Council. Greek organi-zations, such as the Alpha Delta Lambda chapter of Omega Psi Phi Inc. and the Upsilon Nu chapter of Delta

Sigma Theta Inc., showed off their best struts and pumped up the crowd for this weekend’s homecom-ing parties.

Thursday, Oct. 9, The Student Government As-sociation hosted the 2014 Homecoming Golf Cart Decorating Party, carrying on a longstanding UTSA tradition. The Decorating Party began at 8:00 p.m. on the UC Lawn, with free pizza, cart decorators, mu-sic and the opportunity to

participate in a great UTSA Homecoming tradition. The winner of the contest was Gamma Phi Beta sorority.

On Oct. 10, Roadrun-ner Productions, formerly known as the Campus Ac-tivities Board, hosted the 36th annual BestFest cele-bration, which began in the 1970s as a celebration of the best festivals from across Texas including Wurstfest in New Braunfels, Bucca-neer Days in Corpus Chris-ti, Fiesta in San Antonio,

Dallas’ Texas State Fair and George Washington’s Birth-day Celebration in Laredo.

BestFest began at 4:30 p.m. in the Convocation Center parking lot. Stu-dent organizations sold everything from food and T-shirts to buttons and the opportunity to pie fellow peers in the face. The pro-ceeds went towards organi-zation expenses and philan-thropies. Booth decorations demonstrated each organi-zation’s creativity and con-tinued this year’s “Turn the Page” theme.

There was food, carni-val rides and music per-formances from The Voice Season 4 finalist, Holly Tucker, and American Idol winner, Kris Allen. This event earned major thumbs up from UTSA students, alumni, family, friends and community members.

Oct. 11 – game day! Tail-gating began that morning and came in all shapes and sizes. Two huge parking lots set aside for tailgating were inhabited by student organizations with DJs, barbecue and margarita machines, t-shirt tents and breakfast tacos. Kickoff at the Alamodome began at 6 p.m., and the stadium was filled with orange and blue.

During the half-time show Mr. and Ms. UTSA royalties were crowned. Congratulations to Carl Willis and Ileana Gonzalez. The Roadrunners fought hard, winning the game 16-13.

Austin City Limits

Beth MarshallArts Editorarts@paisano-online.com

Entering the Austin City Limits (ACL) festival grounds is enough to make the definition of location disappear.

Between the diversity of the audience and the range of worldwide musicians performing live, Zilker Park’s large patch of Austin, Texas grass transformed into a meeting place for mu-sic lovers.

Gates were scheduled to open daily at 11 a.m. on Oct. 10-12 for the second weekend of ACL; however, a weather delay on Day Two pushed the opening back an hour. A few performances were canceled, but the cool-er temperature and shady clouds – surely showing up in anticipation of The Real Slim Shady’s performance that evening – were wel-comed with open arms by festival-goers.

The headliners were Beck, Skrillex, Calvin Harris, Outkast, Eminem and Pearl Jam. On Day One, Beck and Outkast filled their stage ar-eas with enthusiastic fans. On Day Two, the crowds for Skrillex and Eminem were packed in like sardines as far as the eye could see, and die-hard Calvin Harris and Pearl Jam fans closed the festival on Day Three.

In addition to the ACL headliners, a surplus of tal-

ent was apparent all over the eight stages at Zilker Park. From country stars to “Rap Gods,” anyone’s musi-cal appetite could be satis-fied.

Day One performer, The Glitch Mob, drew quite a large crowd. Band member Justin Boreta shared that, “(The band) all kind of hap-pened as an experiment. We never really intended to have this whole thing hap-pen – it all just happened organically.” The group is known for producing at-tention-holding electronic beats and including lyrics sparingly. The trio came together after having sepa-rate DJ careers, which ex-plains their refined taste for sounds that blend well.

The Nightowls, a 10-piece soul band founded in Aus-tin, were one of the can-celed acts on Day Two, and it was apparent that they were feeling a little blue. But they didn’t let this crush their enthusiastic spirits. With roots planted in states from California to Connect-icut, each member plays a necessary role in producing a unique sound and perfor-mance experience.

Since The Nightowls are a larger group, it’s easy for audience members to sometimes get too interac-tive. One of the stranger accounts occurred prior to ACL weekend when a fan got up on stage and crawled under the piano player’s keyboard. “Those kinds of

experiences end up being one of the things that we love to talk about and just laugh about – not to en-courage it at all,” vocalist El-lie Carroll said jokingly.

Emily Wolfe and her band mates played on Day Three. The Austin-native has a soft yet strong voice ac-companied by sounds from the guitar, keys, drums and violin. The group seemed very humbled and honored to play at ACL. “Yesterday, I had this crazy moment when I was looking at the stage (thinking) we are go-ing to play Austin Ventures – finally!” Wolfe said of the stage reserved specifically for Austin-based bands.

Other highlights included a performance from Fos-ter the People. Their elec-tronic sound, paired with Mark Foster’s notably high-pitched lead vocals, couldn’t have been easy to replicate live, but they pulled it off and produced a great out-door music experience.

Rebelution shared their reggae-gone-rock vibes for a laid-back crowd on Day Two. The band’s interaction with the audience put their already great performance over the top.

However, Lana Del Rey seemed to lack that same interaction. Her beautiful voice and attractive image held her fans’ attention, but she didn’t say much be-tween songs. She did walk off stage to be near some adoring fans, but even then

her demeanor seemed rath-er snobbish.

Right before Lana Del Rey, The Head and the Heart played a great set. As the sun was setting, the Seattle band brought folk music to the festival. They paired violins and guitars with tambourines and other noisemakers, which trans-lated well when played live.

The Day One closers, Outkast, had the audience mostly hooked; when look-ing at the sea of people, one could see a lot of tired and sweaty expressions.

From the front row of Eminem on Day Two – with no room to even try to turn around – the crowd was an eruption of memorized rap lyrics, waving hands and bobbing heads. The energy was undeniable as The Real Slim Shady played songs from his old and new rep-ertoire.

On Day Three, Pearl Jam fanatics were treated to what Rolling Stone named “The Best of the Fest.” The band’s high-energy set list was a crowd pleaser and ended the music festival on a high note.

The great thing about this festival is that all eight stag-es had different acts to suit any taste. Even if no perfor-mance sounded interesting, enjoying the view of the Austin city skyline perfectly distanced from Zilker Park was always an option.

Music festival fun for everyone

After escaping with their first conference win Saturday night against the FIU Panthers, the Road-runners were left scratch-ing their heads.

It was another night of dancing and shuffling for the UTSA quarterbacks as starting senior quarter-back, Tucker Carter, was scratched before the game to nurse a lingering shoul-der injury sustained at the start of the season.

True freshman, Blake Bogenschutz, got the start in place of Carter, but was sidelined early in the first quarter with an undis-closed hand injury.

Redshirt freshman Aus-tin Robinson then stepped into the game and ob-tained what Bogenschutz, Carter and the UTSA faithful all direly craved — a win.

“He did a super job,” said Head Coach Larry Coker.

”I’m really happy for him. People think of him as a running quarterback. But he’s really improved and worked hard this fall.”

Not only did this win put the Roadrunners back on track for a bowl berth, but it also left fans won-dering who they will see next weekend.

“If we played today, ob-viously it would be Aus-tin,” Coker said Monday. “He’s proven he can do the job.”

Despite this declaration of confidence from Cok-er, it does leave the door open for Carter — a player who’s earned the loyalty of the coaching staff as the season’s progressed.

During spring training, controversy arose over who would take the reins for the Roadrunner’s post-Soza era. Both Robinson and Carter were neck and neck.

Yet, with no question in both of the quarterback’s ability to pass and run the ball, Coker stuck with the senior-laden theme and

Carter shined in the Road-runner’s debut in Hous-ton, winning 27-7.

In the ensuing weeks, Carter’s inability to sustain drives got the best of him and gave Bogenschutz, not Robinson, more play-ing time.

Bogenschutz and Cart-er displayed moments of success during the Road-runner’s program-tying four-game losing streak, but neither could get their offense off the ground, sharing six interceptions and recording only two touchdowns through the air.

For example, while fac-ing the New Mexico Lo-bos, Coker benched Cart-er who finished the game 4 for 8 with 60 yards and an interception, and opted to go with Bogenschutz.

Bogenschutz played well, completing 10 of 16 for 169 yards through the air and recording an inter-ception.

Although Bogenschutz played well, Coker de-cided to switch back to

Carter due to his familiar-ity with the two-minute drill, but the Roadrunner’s still fell to the Lobos 21-9.

In games where Coker has decided to switch his starter mid-game, UTSA has lost by a margin of 42 points— not including their win against FIU—and when sticking to his starter, by seven points.

Is Robinson ready to be a leader or will he join the quarterback shuffle once Bogenschutz and Carter are ready to play?

The Houston native finished the game against FIU completing 14 of 17 with 144 yards through the air and 65 on the ground.

He has proven his poise under center, and his nat-ural running ability brings a new wrinkle to the play-book that UTSA has sel-dom experienced.

Sticking with this theme, perhaps Coker should opt with continu-ity and allow the red shirt freshman to grow as the season progresses.

Coker’s Controversy: Who is next under center?COMMENTARY

UTSA’s win Saturday puts them back on track for their first conference crown. All their remaining opponents are in conference and the coming games will likely set the stage for the Conference USA championship. UTSA takes on Louisana Tech Saturday Oct. 18, at 11am.

Robert AllenSports Assistantsports@paisano-online.com

UTSA’s four-game los-ing streak finally ended Saturday night as senior kicker Sean Ianno hit two field goals during the fi-nal minutes of the game to lead the Roadrunners to a 16-13 win against the Florida International University Panthers. The victory came in front of a roaring homecoming crowd of over 25,000 at the Alamodome.

The Roadrunners saw backup quarterback and redshirt freshman Aus-tin Robinson take the reins after true freshman quarterback Blake Bogen-schutz went down with a hand injury late in the first quarter. Robinson’s first few series started slow, but eventually he found a rhythm that got the of-fense rolling.

“Coach (Coker) always says ‘be ready’,” explained Robinson. “I prayed a little bit on the sideline, I got the defense with me, I got the offense with me, Coach Brown and Coach Coker behind me, and fi-nally I was able to settle down and relax and allow

the game to come to me.”Robinson would end his

night completing 14 of 17 passes and no intercep-tions. He racked up 144 yards through the air and another 64 rushing on the ground. Robinson proved to be an effective pock-et passer, but it was his quickness on the run that stole the show.

Robinson torched the Panthers’ defense with a 37-yard run in the sec-ond quarter, setting the Roadrunners up in FIU territory. The play would eventually lead to a two-yard touchdown run by sophomore running back Jarveon Williams.

With time running out, Robinson completed a 27-yard pass to senior run-ning back Brandon Arm-

strong. Although the drive stalled in the red zone af-ter the catch, it was good enough to set up Ianno for a game-tying field goal.

When asked about his thoughts on Robinson’s performance, Coker had this to say: “I’m very proud of Austin. He’s an excep-tional young man and a good student. For him to step in with limited ex-perience and do what he did and how he did it, you can’t say enough about that. He did a phenomenal job and our guys really ral-lied around him.”

The Roadrunners’ de-fense also stepped up in a big way.

The Birds caused two interceptions and a UT-SA-record five fumbles. Senior defensive end Robert Singletary led the way with 10 total tackles with a career-high three sacks. He also recorded 4.5 tackles for a loss and two forced fumbles – both UTSA single-game re-cords.

“We played pretty well on defense,” explained Singletary. “We just had an overall good effort. We usually try to go out there and play hard-hat defense, and today, we were able to do that.”

Senior safety Triston Wade also had a great night, racking up 11 tack-les, a forced fumble and an interception.

Junior safety Duke Wheeler came to the res-cue, recovering a fumble by FIU’s return team to set up Ianno for the game winning kick with only 50 seconds left in regulation.

“I’ve never been more proud of a team,” explained an emotional Coker. “It was a hard-fought victory. I told them to find a way to win...and somehow, we found a way. I can’t say enough about our foot-ball team and our coach-ing staff. We sure needed a win to get our mojo back, our energy back and our belief back. We’ve got many more tough games to play, but this one gives us a jump-start.”

With the win, the Road-runners improve to 2-4 overall on the year, and 1-1 in C-USA play. UTSA’s next test will come on the road against Louisiana Tech (3-3, C-USA 2-0) next Saturday, Oct. 18 at 11 a.m.

UTSA Women’s GolfLed by a 2-under-par

effort from junior Bro-gan Townend, the UTSA women’s golf team is in eighth place after the first round of the Betsy Rawls Invitational held Sunday at the University of Texas Golf Club (par 72,6,225 yards).

Townend carded a 70 and is tied for eighth in the 81-player field with 36 holes left to play. The junior posted four bird-ies on the front nine en route to a 33 and had two more on the back before a double bogey on the par-4 18th. The England, native is five shots off the 7-under pace set by Hay-ley Davis of Baylor and Chonlada Chayanun of Iowa State.

The Roadrunners post-ed a 9-over 297, which is good for eighth in the 15-team field, three strokes behind Tulsa and six out of the top five. No. 16 UNLV leads after turning in a 4-under 284, followed by No. 43 SMU (286), Baylor (288), No. 44 Tex-as (291), Tulane (291) and No. 36 Iowa State (291).

UTSA SoccerRoadrunners fell at

Western Kentucky on Sunday, 3-1.

Senior forward Happy Orere-Amadu notched her first goal of the fall, but Western Kentucky jumped out to a 2-0 lead and came away with a 3-1 win over UTSA in Con-ference USA action on Sunday afternoon at the WKU Soccer Complex.

Sophmore Goalie Katherine Tesno made six saves for the Roadrunners (5-8-1, 1-5 C-USA), who dropped their fourth con-secutive contest. UTSA finished with 18 shots, in-cluding a match-high sev-en attempts from Orere-Amadu.

Freshman midfileder Gracie Knight picked up her first point of the season with an assist to Orere-Amadu and the senior put UTSA on the board. She became the 10th player this season to score and provided the Birds with their first goal since a 3-0 win at Middle Tennessee on Sept. 28.

UTSA will look to snap its skid Sunday, Oct. 19 when it travels west for a matchup at UTEP (9-5-2, 3-2-1 C-USA).
