The Asian Students’ As-sociation, ASA, have been selling everything from ties to mugs to cookies in an ef-fort to gain support for the local non-profit organiza-tion known as Peter’s Clinic. These fundraisers were done in honor of Peter Pham, a former active member of ASA, who died in a motorcycle accident before he was able to graduate in 2010.

“It’s a good way to honor a friend’s memory,” said Desiree Go-mez, an alumni who works in the St. Edward’s University Bookstore. “He was my first friend and only friend for about the first three months of school. I definitely think he’d be overjoyed that his friends are helping his family and trying to pull ev-eryone else in.”

Pham studied International Development and was hoping to hold a career as a doctor in Vietnam where he could help

to improve the hospital con-ditions of the country and create a safe place for the sick and orphaned children who live there.

After his death, Pham’s family undertook the respon-sibility of maintaining his dream. In honor of Pham, they started Peter’s Clinic, a non-profit organization with

the goal of raising 1 million dollars for the cause of build-ing hospitals and orphanages in Vietnam. Although many of the members of the ASA were not students at the time of Pham’s death, they all said it was important to keep his dream alive anyway they can.

“It’s a good way to honor a friend’s memory ... I definitely think he’d be overjoyed that his friends are helping his family...”-Desiree Gomez, St. Edward’s University alumna

The Student Govern-ment Association, SGA, elections have ended, and after a very close race, Octavio Sanchez and Mi-chael Cimino will be the President and Vice Presi-dent of the organization next year.

This election season, 708 students voted, which is an increase from last year's count of 672. San-chez-Cimino received 373 votes while 335 students voted for the opposing ticket of Nicole Bradley running as president and Harrison Hadland running as vice president. Twelve students ran to fill 12 senate seats.

Sanchez and Cimino will occupy the vacant spots left by President Brady Faglie and Vice President Nairod Woods. Faglie and Woods state that their top accom-plishments in their time at the association were increas-ing communication between the student body and ad-ministration and increasing school spirit.

"I felt like we’ve accom-plished a lot this year. First of all, we’ve established

regular meetings with Presi-dent Martin, something we haven’t had in a while, and that was part of an effort to increase communication between the administra-tion and the student body. That’s been very important to us, because at the end of the day, that is our role, as student government," Faglie said. "We do have the power to influence. We do have the power to be in the right rooms with the right people. And if you know how to uti-lize that, you can get things done. I feel we’ve done that this year."

To raise school spirit, the SGA introduced several

ideas this year that will be implemented as traditions, Woods said. Bradley and Hadland worked on a class ring initiative this year while Sanchez is working on an initiative to a light up the tower during major school events.

"The tower will be lit up blue for special events, such as homecoming and major sports victories," Woods said. "We can't do it for ev-ery basketball game. That wouldn't be feasible, but we'll be doing it for big games like Battle of the Saints."

Sanchez said that the tow-er is set for an initial launch for May 10, for graduation.

Faglie said that SGA events and initiatives have garnered record response from students like The Big Event, an annual commu-nity service event aimed at benefitting neighbors of the campus.

"We had one of the larg-est, if not the largest one, out of the nine years we’ve done it. We really pushed it and had close to 300 turn up. On a Saturday morning, mind you," Faglie said. "A lot of people were excited about it. We had a lot of participa-tion. The number of people who followed through is one

Since 2009, the number of international students com-ing to study at St. Edward’s University has more than doubled, said Bill Clabby, the associate vice president for Global Initiatives.

“From the very beginning, with Father Edward So-rin coming to Austin from France to found our univer-sity, St. Edward’s University has been an expression of international interest and di-versity,” Clabby said.

The number of internation-al students was 140 in 2009 and has currently risen to 311 in 2012.

“Last year, we experienced a significant increase in the number of international stu-

dents on campus [and] we are hoping to welcome roughly the same number of interna-tional students this fall and perhaps more,” Clabby said.

We also currently have students from over 40 coun-ties studying at St. Edward’s, Clabby said.

“We welcome international students at St. Edward’s Uni-versity, knowing that they help all of our community understand and become a more integral part of the world in which we live,” said Clabby. “Beyond welcoming international students to our campus, we are working hard to include them into the fab-ric of our lives here on cam-pus, both in and out of the classroom.”

International students of-ten come to St. Edward’s for

collegiate sports, academics, or even both.

One international student, Abdullah Mutairi, came to study at St. Edward’s from Saudi Arabia. Mutairi is cur-rently a computer science ma-jor, but is changing to biology.

Mutairi is a freshman and this is his first semester at St. Edward’s and in the United States.

“I don’t have a specific rea-son for coming to this uni-versity. I was searching for a college that accepted my Eng-lish. Also I wanted to be here in Texas,” Mutairi said.

Mutairi said that being an international student was hard initially, but getting to know people and doing what they do made the change easier.

Mutairi said he is getting

adjusted and enjoying living in Austin, Texas.

“I really like the style of the living here, how it’s organized, the streets, and the people who chat with you on the bus. And I chose to come to Tex-as because the weather is close to my country’s weather,” Mu-tairi said.

Another inter-national student came from Queensland, Australia. Kate Orkild is cur-rently a junior kinesiology major with an emphasis in pre-physical therapy.

Orkild chose St. Edward’s because of the Women’s Head Soccer Coach, Nick

Cowell.Orkild also chose to come

here because she had heard

good things about Austin and liked the small class sizes at the university.

She also said that the weather in Texas is similar to where she is from.

“Texas is the most like Aus-tralia,” said Orkild.

The hardest part about be-ing an international student for Orkild was that she had never studied biology, phys-ics, or chemistry prior to coming to college abroad, but Orkild said that her teachers have been supportive.

Orkild is usually able to go back to Queensland over Christmas break and during the summer, but flights were so expensive this year that she will be going an entire 11 months without seeing her family.

Orkild also encourages other international students to stick with it, because it is worth it. She was very home-sick at first, but never gave up.

“It’s really hard to be an in-ternational student, but it’s really worth it,” Orkild said.

of the highest percentages in a decade.”

There was also a survey that SGA promoted in or-der to find out which issues mattered most to students on campus. Faglie said that around 600 students an-swered this survey.

This philosophy of in-creased communication has inspired Sanchez and Cimi-no’s campaign, Sanchez said. The two plan to continue reaching out to students and making SGA a more avail-able organization.

“What we want students to know is that we’re here to serve them and all their goals,” Cimino said. “I’d like to make myself available one day of the week for an hour to talk to students one-on-one and say ‘Hey, we’re from SGA, how [can] we help bet-

ter your school experience?’ So, [we want] an SGA that’s visible on campus, that stu-dents know is there as a tool to reach out to the adminis-tration.”

To this end, the two are lis-tening to ideas from students and collaborating with them on small projects.

“One student came up to us about putting up hammocks or a community box of blan-kets that students can use to lay out on sunny days. That’s going to enhance student experience on campus. On a beautiful day, what better thing is there to do than lay out on the sun and do home-

work or just chill with your friends?” Sanchez said. “We’re going to leave our plate open to those little projects that students will appreciate and know that even though it may not be a big issue, It’s something small that shows SGA is there for them.”

Cimino has said he also plans to work on improving campus safety.

“Personally, I’d really like to work on campus safety. There’s been attacks on cam-pus and I believe that it is our responsibility not only as a senate but as a school itself to work on protecting the stu-dents that go here,” Cimino said.

Some of his solutions in this regard include improving camera quality in the parking lots, and getting more lights installed in the East Hall and Teresa Hall areas. He is also interested in a transportation

service for students who need rides to and from downtown Austin.

Sanchez also plans to tack-le big-ticket issues, such as parking, by handling them at a realistic level, he said.

“To move a mountain, you have to start little. These are going to be issues that are is-sues every single year. There’s a way to address it without having to get nowhere, spend all your capital and get noth-ing done,” Sanchez said.

The solution, Sanchez said, goes back to the SGA’s mission of making sure the student body’s concerns are properly relayed to the ad-ministration, which informs both parties.

“For example the library was something a lot of stu-dents were upset about. The administration did every-thing they could to announce it a year ahead of time. Some-

where along the line, the stu-dents didn’t hear about it. Some students missed out on that communication, and when the library closed, they got upset,” Sanchez said. “They felt like they weren’t being listened to, so what I want to do is fill in that little space right there.”

As Faglie and Woods get ready to graduate, they leave behind reportedly record numbers of participation in SGA events and a philosophy that emphasizes face-to-face interaction with students. Sanchez and Cimino plan to build upon this foundation in their term.

“We want students to see us and not say, ‘Hey, you’re just a random student,’” San-chez said. “We want them to say, ‘Hey, you’re my sena-tor, you’re my VP, you’re my president. Let me talk to you about this issue.’”

friends with Pham his family primarily through their shop in North Austin that sells bubble tea.

“They really wanted to make something positive out of his death,” Van-Dinh said. “We thought it would be great for the ASA to do something and decided we’d do whatever we could to help raise awareness.”

Van-Dinh also said that, ac-cording to Pham’s family, the biggest hurdle for the organi-zation at this point is funding and logistics.

Pham had a knack for pull-ing people out of themselves and into positions where they could make a difference, said Phillip Leong.

“Peter and I lived in the Dujarie Casitas and I would always chill with him,” said Leong, a senior. “I thought he was the weirdest guy. When I first met him, he made me go to his room so I could see it. He made it look like the Bat-Cave. It’s awesome to support Peter’s family in trying to ac-complish his dream.”

Another former friend of Pham and senior at St. Edward’s, Eliza-beth Kaweesa, said that Pham was not only the first person she met, but the first friend she had while studying at the university.

“We both had our first chem-istry class together and were passionate about helping those in need,” she said. “I’m really glad that Jessica is tak-ing the reins of ASA and the fact that they’re doing this for him is great.”

Kaweesa and several other members of ASA have ex-pressed feelings to try and visit the site where Peter’s Clinic is currently planning to be build on what will be the first of many prospective hospitals in Than Phu, Viet-nam.

“I’m going to Vietnam for sure. It’s something he would have wanted too,” Kaweesa said. “I would love to do it for him and his family and the

people in the area.”The ASA is scheduled

to host another fundraiser where they said they will be selling tapioca April 24 to further increase the $300 they have already raised from

the organization’s first fund-raiser.

Nancy Pham, Pham’s mother, was excited to see so many young people happy to help out in making her son’s dream become a reality.

“I feel very blessed as Peter’s mother. Even with him gone, I see that Peter left behind his dream to other students, and I am so glad that they are connecting with the world, doing good for themselves and for others, and also for their future,” Pham said.

She continued with praise for ASA.

“They are following their hearts, and it makes me very happy. Peter always told me how lucky he felt to be a stu-dent at St. Edward’s because of his professors and his friends, and I am so thankful for their hard work,” Pham said.

Peter’s Clinic currently hopes to build a primary healthcare facility that will provide both healthcare and housing for local Vietnam-ese families and home for disabled and abandoned chil-dren in the area.

Ready, Set, Teach! is a pro-gram for high school stu-dents to experience what it is like to be a teacher. The first group of students who ever participated in the program will soon graduate from St. Edward’s Uni-versity.

Fred Estrello, associate fac-ulty and direc-tor of special projects in the School of Education, has been helping students in the program for six years. His i nvo lve m e nt began with a partnership with three high schools in the area and has since grown to 10 high schools.

“After a while, students started coming here to St. Ed’s that were Ready, Set, Teach! alum,” Estrello said. “I wanted to try to keep them connected and be able to provide some extra sup-port in case they needed it.”

That support, which began when some of his students were just juniors in high school, has grown to become a tight community of aspir-ing teachers at St. Edward’s. In addition to attending reg-ular dinners and get togeth-ers, the group of 13 former Ready, Set, Teach! students assist Estrello with Ready, Set, Teach! with presenta-tions and award ceremonies.

Estrello worked as a teach-er and principal for 30 years before becoming a professor.

For several of these stu-dents, Ready, Set, Teach! and Estrello’s partnership with the program is the rea-

son they are attending St. Edward’s.

“I didn’t even know about St. Edward’s before,” art major Susan Dawson said. “If it weren’t for Ready, Set, Teach! I wouldn’t be at St. Edward’s.”

Dawson is a McCombs Scholar and Campus Min-

istry Service Break Experi-ence Leader.

As high school students in the pre-teaching program, participants created lesson plans and taught classes. The experience gained from the high school program gives students an edge on the competitive education market. The leadership skills gained while in the program continue to grow into college.

Other students also hold leadership positions at St. Edward’s, such as Alex Du-ran, an organization liaison for Student Life, and Elyse Cortez, an officer for the pre-professional academic group St. Edward’s Educa-tors.

In addition to improving teaching skills, the Ready, Set, Teach! program aids students in choosing what age group and what subject they would like to teach.

“The goal I had set for myself at the end of the pro-gram was to decide what I

wanted to teach because I had no idea,” Duran said. “I ended up choosing history.”

Duran, Cortez and Daw-son all have plans to student teach or go into the educa-tion field upon graduating either this spring or next.

Some of the students have known they wanted to be teachers their whole life and experiences with their own education only solidified that fact. For Cortez, it was her 5th grade teacher who made learning so much fun that led to her desire to be-come a teacher.

Duran had a similar ex-perience. His 6th grade teacher left an impact on him when she followed her school’s new policy of wear-ing uniforms to school, even though it was only manda-tory for students.

Transitioning from their various high schools to St. Edward’s, the group of 13 students found that the Ready, Set, Teach! com-munity helped them to get more involved on campus.

“Fred was the first person I knew at St. Edward’s and he’s helped me along the way,” Dawson said.

Dawson, who started out with an education minor has an art major, but still hopes to work with children in the future. She is still fully connected with the unoffi-cial group.

“Even though their majors change, the connection they have is with the experiences from Ready, Set, Teach!,” Estrello said.

Duran sees potential pro-fessional benefits arising from the community.

“It’s a possible collabora-tive effort,” Duran said. ‘I have a network of people to go to.”

For many students, the Symposium on Undergrad-uate Research and Creative Expression, also known as SOURCE, was an opportu-nity for St. Edward’s Univer-sity students to present their work to the community in a professional setting.

The symposium was held on April 19 in the Ragsdale Center.

Since the event was free and open to the public, many professors gave extra credit to students who at-tended the lectures.

The par-ticipants all came together to share their findings and their art at S O U R C E , featuring ev-erything from original re-search to po-etry and plays.

Examples of topics included the effect of Twitter on consumer opin-ion, the continuity between the reichs of Germany and students’ anxieties about plagiarism.

There were poster pre-sentations as well as oral presentations across all disciplines. The academic research behind the proj-ects will be published in the SOURCE journal next fall.

In total, there were 30 oral presentations and 41 poster presentations.

A university symposium provides an opportunity for the general public, as well

as for faculty and staff, to see what their students are doing. According to sopho-more English literature major Jacqueline Schicker, SOURCE is especially ex-citing because most sympo-siums are not open to stu-dents at an undergraduate level.

Schicker chose to submit a play she wrote in Stage and Screenwriting with profes-sor Alan Altimont.

“I really liked the script I was working on, so I decided to present it,” Schicker said.

To her, being a part of SOURCE meant contribut-ing to the conversation with-

in the university community.Even students working

on research outside of their major are encouraged to present.

Dillon Schuh said he got involved because his ethics professor Zack Fisher ad-vised him to enter his term paper into the contest.

“It’s extremely exciting,” Schuh said, “and also an honor to participate in the SOURCE symposium.”

For Schuh, presenting at SOURCE was not always an easy experience, however.

“The process has been in-

timidating because it’s much more nerve-wracking to give a speech to an audience than a classroom. Despite the intimidation, it’s still very exciting to have a chance to present an ethics paper of mine to an audience,” Schuh said.

Biology Pre-Med major Cristina Alvarado, who gave a presentation on ways to understand and reduce plaque in the arteries, says the science department al-ways encourages students to present their research.

“I wanted the chance to give someone a piece of what I had done as a research stu-dent without having to go through all the jargon,” she said.

Alvarado faced challenges in her presentation process.

One of the most challeng-ing aspects was ensuring the validity of her project after doing all the research.

Also, she had to figure out how to present her research in a very short period of time to an audience outside of her discipline, while still giving them something valu-able to take away from it.

When asked about her experience presenting in SOURCE, Alvarado had positive feedback.

“It’s wonderful to see something you worked so hard on come together,” she said.

Each year, the judges for SOURCE make an effort to include a diverse array of topics.

This year’s showcase was full of variety, and many participants were proud to present their findings and ideas.

As the end of the semester approaches, numerous events are taking place on campus to showcase students’ final work.

Some of these events in-clude the Art Senior Exhi-bition, an Honors Senior Thesis Symposium and the Mariachi Alas de Oro Con-cert.

The Art Senior Exhibition celebrated its opening night on April 19, and will be open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. until May 11 in the Fine Arts Building.

The art show features 17 senior art majors and show-

cases a variety of different artistic mediums

“Visitors can expect a wide variety of artwork – 2D, 3D, mixed media, realistic and abstract,” Jordan Hamilton, a senior art major who will be participating in the event, said.

The Honors Senior Thesis Symposium will take place in Mabee Ballrooms A-C on April 26 from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The symposium will feature projects ranging from applied projects to creative work, such as a short play, to the traditional research paper, said Honors Program Direc-tor Barbara Filippidis.

Examples include “A tra-

ditional research paper in a field: History major Grace Kretschmer’s paper on Robespierre and the French Revolution [and] Graphic Design major Erica Ochoa has re-designed the logo and website for a local nonprofit organization,” Filippidis said.

The Mariachi Alas de Oro Concert will take place on April 29 starting at 7:30 p.m. in Jones Auditorium.

The band plans on playing about 15 songs during the concert. Admission to the event will be $5.

From El Paso to DeKalb, 21 St. Edward’s University students traveled across the state of Texas last semester to photograph and document the lives of 14 women for a special class entitled Endur-ing Women.

The class was offered to ju-nior and senior history and photocommunications stu-dents as a creative research course on the principles of documentary photography, oral history and exhibition design.

Each student collaborated on a semester long project with a teammate from the other major.

The project, which was de-veloped by St. Edward’s in conjunction with the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum, is now part of the Bullock’s 2013 “Enduring Women” exhibition.

The exhibit focuses on 14 real women across the state whose lives revolve around the land and their struggles to preserve their heritage.

“Enduring Women” is in conjunction with the exhibit “Women Shaping Texas in the 20th Century.”

“This was an unusually rich opportunity for undergradu-ate creative research,” Mary Brantl, an associate professor of art history and co-instruc-tor of the Enduring Women class, said.

Brantl with a fellow co-in-structor Charles Porter, a his-tory professor, reviewed pho-tocommunications students’ portfolios and interviewed history students before al-lowing them to register for the course.

“As we looked at portfolios and interviewed history stu-

dents we were looking for ‘Can you deliver?’—and they did,” Brantl said.

Porter networked to con-nect students with the wom-en they studied and docu-mented.

“He did an amazing amount of prep work. I can’t overweigh the credit he de-serves for that,” Brantl said about her colleague and co-instructor.

Bill Kennedy, a photocom-munications professor, as-sisted both Brantl and Porter in advising and coordinating with the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum.

Brian John, a senior pho-tocommunications student, partnered with senior history major Michael Vecchio. John and Vecchio documented the story of a woman named Shirley Shumake from DeKalb, Texas, a small town near Texarkana.

Shumake has been success-fully fighting the construc-tion of a reservoir that would be built on the Sulphur River near her home for years.

The reservoir would service the Dallas Fort Worth Me-

troplex and would flood her land as well as her neighbors’ land.

“She was incredibly hospi-table,” John said.

The exhibit’s opening night was Feb. 19 and all 14 wom-en attended with friends and family.

“The recognition was amaz-ing for them,” Brantl said.

St. Edward’s and the Bob Bullock Museum have col-laborated on two projects to date, “Enduring Women” and “Fridays in Focus” in the fall 2011, an exhibit that ex-plored the culture of high school football in Texas.

“The PHCO program is committed to providing our students with the best, most complete, educational expe-rience possible. The Bullock projects are just examples of that,” Kennedy said. “[‘En-during Women’ is] a stun-ning exhibition. The students worked very hard and I’m proud of what they accom-plished.”

The students’ work will be on display at the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum until May 19.

Local establishments provide study spaces for all-nightersNikki Hillnhill2@stedwards.edu

Carolyn Cole/Los Angeles Times/MCTMany students turn to caffeine for energy to study longer.

As the semester draws to a close, you will likely find yourself pulling more and more all-nighters while get-ting ready for finals. If you are tired of either work-ing in the labs on campus or studying in your dorm room or apartment, take the chance to study somewhere new at one of Austin’s many 24/7 coffee shops and res-taurants.

Strange BrewAs one of the closest 24-

hour study spaces to cam-pus, Strange Brew, is also one of the most popular places to crank out an essay at 2 a.m. The coffee house has ample space for seating, studying and charging your laptop. Strange Brew fea-tures a range of local coffee from Third Coast Coffee, as well as espressos and spe-cialty brews for that much-needed late-night shot of caffeine. Strange Brew can also curb your craving for any midnight snack, wheth-er it is for a milkshake, cookies, sausage wraps or a sandwich. If you manage to pull an all-nighter, Torchy’s

Tacos will be there to greet you with the sunrise.

Strange Brew is located at 5326 Manchaca Rd.

Bennu 24-HourLocated on the East Side,

Bennu 24-Hour Coffee Lounge is a short drive or bus ride away. Cozy, eclectic and mellow with low light-ing and comfy chairs, Bennu is probably better suited for relaxing during study breaks than actually studying. But the coffee house has plenty of drinks and snacks to grab while cramming for finals. Bennu serves French press coffee and gourmet mochas as well as the basics, all from organic and Fair Trade ven-dors. Also, on the menu is local food from Austin fa-vorites like the Green Cart, Torchy’s Tacos and Hobo-ken Pie.

Bennu 24-Hour Coffee Lounge is located at 2001 E. MLK Blvd.

Buzz Mill CoffeeBuzz Mill is the new-

est 24-hour coffee shop in town, first open back in January of this year. It offers a limited coffee menu with staples like drip or cold brew coffee, lattes and espressos

at decent prices. Not basic, however, is the decor — ironic mountain-man rustic, complete with a stuffed bea-ver to watch over any late-night study sessions. Not in the mood for coffee? The Buzz Mill also acts as a bar with about ten craft brews on tap, so you can grab a few beers after finishing up homework.

Buzz Mill Coffee is located on 1505 Town Creek Dr.

Epoch CoffeeRight on eccentric North

Loop on the other side of the UT campus is Epoch Coffee, an artsy coffee house decorated with an assort-ment of vintage lamps and original art. Epoch boasts a menu of hot and iced coffee and lattes, as well as fruit and coffee blended drinks. The coffee shop has plenty of seating indoors and out, and the large patio is a per-fect spot for studying in the warm Texas nights during finals week.

Epoch Coffee is located on 221 W North Loop Blvd.

Kerbey Lane CafeIf you are more in the

mood for pancakes than coffee while studying, Ker-bey Lane Cafe is the place to go. All of the locations around Austin are equipped with Wi-Fi and large, comfy booths perfect for spreading out study supplies. Plus, the friendly service at Kerbey Lane will be more than hap-py to keep the coffee coming if you do decide you want a cup.

The Kerbey Lane Cafes closest to campus are located at 3003 South Lamar, 2606 Guadalupe and 4301 Wil-liam Cannon.

The Monterey Interna-tional Pop Music Festival and Woodstock are just a few of the music festivals that have made lasting impressions on the generations that have fol-lowed.

These music festivals took place during the changing times of the ‘60s and early ‘70s, which set the standard for what the experience of go-ing to a music festival should be.

During a time of social revolution in America, these festivals provided a vessel for

young Americans to stand up for what they believe in.

For them, festivals were not just about going to listen to music – they also symbolized

freedom, equality and peace for the counterculture.

Today, it seems that our generation is more nostalgic and inspired by these music

festivals than ever. They not only offer a couple

of days of a mini vacation from everyday life, but they also continue to represent a virtue that young Americans have always aspired for: free-dom.

For many people today, mu-sic festivals have become not only a fun way to go see fa-vorite music artists, but also a way for people to show off their wardrobe.

Each festival seems to have its own unique style, from Bonnaroo’s modern country vibe to the incorporation of the unique Austin style with South By Southwest and

Austin City Limits. As most of you may know,

Coachella took place over two weekends in April.

Original festival-goers showed their desire for free-dom by expressing love and peace with flowing dresses and weaving daisy-chain jew-elry.

These days, it is a slightly different story, as Coachella fashionistas and fashionistos seemed to take a different ap-proach.

There were, of course, the inevitable flower-child hair wreaths and armfuls of col-ored bracelets, but there was also a trend that leaned more

towards a mix of ‘70s rocker and ‘90s pop rather than the usual hippie-chic look.

For the ladies, this includes graphic band tees, crop-tops, bathing suits, sheer, dainty cardigans, a pair of cute sun-nies and a lot of black ankle boots.

Oh, and do not forget the abundance of eccentric tem-porary tattoos, face paint and body jewels.

For the guys, some notable looks include tropical prints, solid pastel shorts and pants, buttoned-up collared shirts, hats and even some jewelry such as chain necklaces and bracelets.

This coming weekend, the men’s lacrosse team will carry on their playoff tradi-tion. They start with a game against the University of Houston, UH, this Saturday, April 27. The team has gone to playoffs in the Lone Star Alliance branch of the Men’s Collegiate Lacrosse Associa-tion in years past.

If the team wins their game against UH, they will face off against No. 1-seed Sam Houston State University, SHSU, this Sunday, April 28, in Friendswood, Texas.

“It’s pretty awesome. It just looks good for program na-tionwide, always having St. Edward’s [University] in the runnings of the playoffs and in the talk of going to nation-als,” Club President and ju-nior Michael Small said.

Of the 11 games the Hill-toppers played this season, the team won four. The Hilltoppers beat teams from Stephen F. Austin, UH, Trin-ity and Mary Hardin Baylor, going 4-1 in the division and 4-7 overall.

“We beat [the University of ] Houston in the regular season, so we’re expecting them to be very hungry to win,” junior Captain Josh Phillips said. The Hilltop-pers won the match against UH 15-12 in a close game.

Should the Hilltoppers beat UH this weekend, they will face one of their tough-est matches against No. 1-seed SHSU. The Hilltop-pers played against SHSU in regular season and lost 23-3. Sam Houston went 5-0 in the division.

“They’ve gone to nation-als every year,” senior Cap-tain Reed Traphagen said of SHSU. “A coach got in there about six years ago and just rebuilt the program.”

Regardless of the outcomes in the playoffs, both club leaders and the Director of Campus Recreation, Andy Lemons, agree that the ben-efits of being a part of a club sport outweigh any possible loss on the pitch.

“When they make playoffs, that’s icing on the cake for me because I know how excited they are,” Lemons said.

Lemons cites Campus Rec-reation and club sports as a resource for accessing, devel-oping and educating up-and-coming student leaders on the Hilltop.

“It’s about the development of the officers for me, and I expect that the tools or advice

that I’m able to give to the of-ficers that filters down to the players,” Lemons said.

Club sports’ successes — specifically men’s lacrosse’s — have also opened a new door into marketing St. Edward’s to potential students.

“We’ve had conversations with marketing and admis-sions about the impact that our club sport teams can have on recruiting,” Lemons said.

Lacrosse players and coach-es often attend high school lacrosse games and speak to high schoolers about poten-tially coming to St. Edward’s, using their experiences with club sports on campus as a hook for new players.

“There’s absolutely now an impact that you can see,” Lemons said. “There’s a com-munity of people that incom-ing freshmen or incoming students want to be a part of.”

Junior club swimming pres-ident Octavio Sanchez was recently elected to be Stu-dent Government Associa-tion, SGA, president for the 2013-2014 school year. Shelby Cole: How long have you been in charge of club swimming?Octavio Sanchez: My friend Curran and I founded the organization my freshman year; then from 2011-2012 he was president, I was VP, and we switched roles this year. Next year, we’re handing it off to a group of new stu-dents so they can continue the legacy.SC: How long have you been involved with SGA?OS: About the same time, I ran for senate in spring registration of 2011, was a senator for that next year, and of course this year, and come next year I’ll be presi-

dent of SGA.SC: Does being in charge of swimming translate to your SGA role?OS: In all honesty? Yes. Be-ing the leader of club swim-ming obviously doesn’t have such a broad impact as student government does, but managing the role, being able to delegate

responsibilities to the other officers, making sure every-thing got taken care of, be-ing the face of the organi-zation, recruiting and stuff like that, it showed me a lot of managerial skills. I’m going to be able to translate that ability to run SGA and be the face of the stu-dent body.SC: Are you going to use your time as president to help club sports out?OS: Definitely will. I’ve talked to men’s lacrosse and I’ve gotten some of their perspectives on things that they need some help with, of course with club swimming I have a good feeling about their needs, club rugby is continuing to grow and it’s a big sport on campus. Hopefully I’ll be able to connect to my inner sports and connect in that aspect as well.SC: How long have you been swimming?OS: I started swimming in

the summer of sixth grade. My best friend from mid-dle school brought me to one of the practices to try it out; all I could do was float. That’s all I knew how to do. One of the moms worked with me and my brother and taught us how to swim. Then I joined a summer league and then I swam in high school, junior varsity for three years and varsity my senior year.SC: What do you like about swimming?OS: I’m not good at all the other sports. When it comes to, like, baseball, I don’t think I could hit the ball, I’d miss it. I’d get strikes all the time. So swimming is like that one sport that I feel like I’m re-ally good at. I might not be the best, but it’s physically what I feel I’m the best at. It’s a full-body exercise. I feel energized after. Instead of feeling drained and tired, I feel more energy.

SC: What is the private Octavio like? OS: I’m a very shy person, especially when it comes to letting myself go.SC: But you’re in charge of everything!OS: Sometimes I just can’t be spontaneous. Like, what’s it called, SOLO? FOLO? YOLO. So it would surprise a lot of people that I sing along to my favorite songs, espe-cially when I’m alone in the car. Then, of course, when someone drives by, I turn it down and act normal.SC: Andy Lemons told me to make you say nice things about club sports.OC: Honestly, it is one of the best programs. It’s a great place for people to stay active, live a well bal-anced life, and it continues growing. If you can’t find what you want to do now, you can always start your own club, it’s really easy.

President used leadership to found club sport

Courtesy of Octavio SanchezSanchez was recently elected SGA president.

Just when you thought the Los Angeles Dodgers orga-nization was getting back on track following the Frank McCourt bankruptcy ordeal two years ago, fate lowered its shoulder and derailed the healing process – literally.

The Dodgers may have won their matchup against the ri-val San Diego Padres 3-2, but they have certainly sustained a long-term blow to their pennant chances, as pitcher

Zack Greinke broke his left collarbone in a bench-clear-ing brawl during the game. Nursing a 2-1 lead with no outs and a 3-2 count in the bottom of the sixth, Greinke hit Padres left fielder Carlos Quentin in the shoulder with a pitch. The situation escalat-ed as Quentin proceeded to charge the mound after Gre-inke appeared to exchange words with him.

Both Greinke and Quen-tin lowered their shoulders for impact as both dugouts cleared. Following the game,

it was discovered that Gre-inke sustained a break in his left collarbone.

Quentin called it “the final straw” in what has emerged as a running feud between the two. This is now the third time Greinke has hit Quen-tin with a pitch. It is blatantly clear is that the choice words Greinke sent in the direction of Quentin following the pitch is what prompted the storming of the mound.

Quentin has been adminis-tered an eight-game suspen-sion and fined $3,000 by the

MLB for his actions. Greinke is expected to miss at least eight weeks to heal his collar-bone and clavicle.

Greinke’s injury comes as a major blow for the Dodgers, as they signed the free-agent and former Cy Young award-winner to a lucrative six-year, $147 million contract in the offseason.

It appears Los Angeles will have to wait on their return to prominence, dropping seven of their last nine games and fourth in the NL West.

SPORTS COMMENTARY

VIEWPOINTSWEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 2013 • HILLTOP VIEWS 10

Brad Paisley has won 14 Academy of Country Music awards, 14 Country Music Association awards, and three Grammys. However, nobody will remember him for his outstanding contributions to country music. Instead they will remember Paisley for the unfortunate and terrible ”Accidental Racist.”

“Accidental Racist” is a ballad from Paisley to his African-American barista, LL Cool J. The singer is wearing a confederate flag shirt in front of the black man and realizes the situation is uncomfortable calling it “the elephant in the corner of the south.”

Although the confederate flag is the symbol for a group that upheld the ideas that people can be property and

human rights do not count for people of color, Paisley sings that the only meaning the flag has is its symbolism for 1970s southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd.

He goes in the chorus to say, “I’m proud of where I’m from but not everything we’ve done,” and that he’s “caught between southern pride and southern blame.”

While Paisley may have some convoluted process for convincing himself that proudly wearing a confederate flag is somehow not racist, he has failed to convince the rest of us. The thought of donning a confederate flag to show pride for the south is as blasphemous as someone wearing a swastika to show his pride for Germany.

If this was not bad enough, LL Cool J decided to join in on the ordeal. He comes in for the third verse and raps about

what it is like being a black man in the south and how the confederate flag symbolizes hatred and exclusion to the black community. However, he also demonizes aspects of black culture and fashion.

Just as Paisley half-heartedly defends his appearance, LL Cool J does the same saying, “just because my pants are saggin’ doesn’t mean I’m up to no good.”

This is where the song crosses the line. Sagging pants were never an official symbol of hatred towards anyone. The confederate flag however, represented hundreds of years of slavery, hatred and human rights violations.

LL Cool J goes on to reiterate by saying “If you won’t judge my do-rag, I won’t judge that red flag” and “If you don’t judge my gold chains, I’ll forget the iron chains.”

What?Necklace and shackles are

two very different things. One is a fashion choice. The other

quite literally kept millions of black men, women and children in captivity until they died. To put the two

on the same level is not only ignorant, but appalling.

Paisley stands by the song and recently tweeted “Well, we wanted to start the conversation. This is fantastic.”

LL Cool J however, admits that the song is flawed. “I can’t defend the song, but I can clarify my intentions...” he said in an interview with Jay Leno.

The intentions were to allegedly bring together the worlds of hip-hop and country music and start a dialogue race relations in America that will lead to a stronger bond between the disparate communities.

However, this is the wrong conversation to be having. The only unity that has come from the situation of “Accidental Racist” is the consensus on all sides that this song is a mistake.

Racism is not an accident, but Brad Paisley sings otherwise

T-shirt installation attempts to raise awareness

Photo by Renee CornueCountry music artist Brad Paisley performing his music live.

Last week, T-shirts strung together with clothesline appeared around campus, hanging between trees and on railings. The shirts feature a variety of handwritten messages, ranging from statistics to words of sympathy for survivors of sexual assault.

This installation, officially called the “Clothesline Project,” will remain on campus until April 30, as a part of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The Clothesline Project is presented by Hilltopper Peer Health Educators, a student group that works through the Health and Counseling Center.

Throughout the month of April, events and programs around campus raise awareness about sexual assault. These include self-defense classes and posters about surviving sexual assault. The Clothesline Project is definitely the most notable of these, simply because everyone sees the T-shirts every day.

The goal of the Clothesline Project is pretty obvious: the shirts are there to promote awareness of sexual assault. While the

project was created with good intentions, it does questionable job of reaching its goal. Furthermore, the goal of Sexual Assault Awareness

Month is dubious.Overall, the T-shirts are

confusing. For one thing, the medium conveying

the message is not quite appropriate. Marker on a T-shirt is not what one expects when reading about a topic as serious sexual assault. People seeking information about sexual assault statistics or stories of survival probably expect printed materials.

A printed placard included with each group of shirts direct victims to the Health and Counseling Center. Providing such resources is important, but the shirts themselves could also be a resource.

The handwritten messages on the T-shirts are often perplexing. It is unclear whether the shirts are intended to inform students

of statistics, to comfort victims or to encourage students to speak out about the issue. At times, a message on one shirt even appears to contradict another.

For the most part, the way the tee shirts are organized is odd. Students might take a moment to pause and puzzle over the shirts’ meaning, but eventually they would just move along. Many of the messages written on the shirts are sincere and heartfelt, but that gets lost in the sea of Magic Marker.

Moreover, the shirts are not the wisest use of physical resources. A more decisive step toward actually helping sexual assult victims would

be to donate the shirts to a shelter, where victims could benefit from new clothing.

Sexual violence is a complex issue. The problem is not just lack of awareness. Aside from the physical harm sexual assault does, the problem gets worse when victims of sexual assault are either silenced or shamed.

It is ambiguous how the Clothesline Project wants its viewers to address this complicated issue. The installment creates more confusion than anything.

While raising awareness is important, this project does not create the kind of dialogue we need surrounding sexual assault.

Britain’s first and only fe-male Prime Minister, Mar-garet Thatcher, died on April 8 of a stroke. Thatcher has a very mixed legacy with many Americans loving her and

many British hating her.Thatcher may have a lot of

haters, but she was able to bring the United Kingdom into the modern age and lead it to success.

When Thatcher was elected in 1979, Britain was in very bad economic shape. There was inflation, budget defi-cits, and problems with the country’s workers. To solve the country’s problems, the Prime Minister lowered in-come taxes and increased other taxes that did not di-rectly affect income, lowered interest rates, and put limits on government spending.

These policies made Thatcher unpopular with voters, and even resulted in riots in 1981. Despite op-position, Thatcher stayed with these policies and slowly Britain’s economy began to

recover. By 1987, the econo-my stabilized and was strong. Britain’s economy became more free market like the United States.

When Mikhail Gorbachev became the leader of the So-viet Union, Thatcher’s diplo-macy with the leader eased tension between the Soviets and Americans.

Thatcher also worked close-ly with Ronald Reagan. Nan-cy Reagan commented that “Ronnie and Margaret were political soul mates.”

Contrary to popular belief, Thatcher was not a conserva-tive in the American sense. She did something that most American conserva-tives would never do — raise taxes. When Thatcher be-came Prime Minister, taxes were about 33.1 percent of the gross domestic product.

Taxes in the U.S. are about 18 percent of the GDP. Presi-dent Barack Obama can-not even dream of having taxes that high because every American would be furious. Thatcher is more of a taxer than the president.

British conservatism is more liberal than American conservatism. British liber-als are also more liberal than their American liberalism.

While countless Brits hate Thatcher because of her tac-tics with the labor unions, she does not deserve to be remembered as a “witch,” as in the British chart topper “Ding Dong the Witch is Dead.”

Maragret Thatcher should not be praised by just con-servatives. She should be admired by all who believe in freedom around the world.

While countless bands have attempted to combine folk and psychedelic music into a tasteful blend, without just rehashing the sounds of the 1960s, few have pulled it off as well as Brooklyn’s Grizzly Bear.

Last year’s celebrated re-lease of the band’s third stu-dio album, “Shields,” marked a maturation in the sound of the group as a whole, trans-forming an indie folk outfit with poppy tendencies into one of the forerunners of the burgeoning pysch-folk genre.

From the heavy, guitar-driv-en opener, “Sleeping Ute,” to the haunting, emotive piano lines of the final track, “Sun in Your Eyes,” “Shields” is an original exploration of the highs and lows of the human

experience. The album marks one of

the first realizations of indie psych-folk done well. It is crafted around dissonance and intricate sound-scapes, painted by otherworldly guitar tones and filtered through heavy reverb and arpeggiated synths.

Grizzly Bear is touring extensively worldwide. On April 8, the band made an appearance in Austin, playing a sold out show at Stubb’s to enthusiastic fans.

Grizzly Bear started their set with a definitively tripped out tracks from “Shields,” “Speak in Rounds.” The band played their hit, “Two Weeks,” from 2009’s “Vecka-timest,” in the middle of the

19-song performance, to the delight of the crowd.

Material from “Shields” composed a good portion of

the show. However, Grizzly Bear finished the set with three encores, all taken from previous albums: the beach rock ballad, “Knife,” from the band’s 2006 sophomore release, “Yellow House,” the mandolin-heavy track “On a Neck, On a Spit,” from the same album, and a breath-taking acoustic performance of the ethereal, “All We Ask,” from 2009’s “Veckatimest.”

In a word, the show was in-

credible. The technical prow-ess and explosive energy of Grizzly Bear is unmatched by any other indie psych-folk band on the scene, and watching all of the masterful members of the band work together live to recreate the tension and emotion pres-ent throughout their albums was an unmatched pleasure. Through an unbelievably tight live show and a mas-terpiece of an album, Grizzly Bear is earning indie psych-folk some much-needed re-spect.

Indie folk has been going strong for years, defined most impressively by artists like Seattle’s Fleet Foxes, and has gained plenty of respect for itself as a genre along the way.

Indie psychedelia has re-cently garnered much at-tention and praise with last year’s release of Tame Impa-

la’s album, “Lonerism.” Indie psych-folk, however, has, for as long as it has been a genre, been relegated by critics as dirty hippiedom.

Grizzly Bear is doing the

job of scrubbing the genre clean of its bad reputation by showing the world what a serious indie psych-folk band looks like.
