Editor’s Message: A FarewellEvery student on campus is experiencing finals and this is the

final issue of the Skyline for the semester. This is also my final issue as Editor-in-Chief. I’ve spent a lot of late nights scrutinizing stories for typos and filling in the blanks when needed. I’ve also spent many mornings getting up early cooking potatoes and eggs, getting kids ready for school, then preparing and selling breakfast burritos for our dedicated buyers before going to class.

I won’t miss late nights and early mornings, but I will miss the staff and advisers, Cheryl Zinsmeyer and Steve Lang. Is there a better department to work in? I doubt it. I’ve spent the last two years doing something I love to do, stretching myself as a writer, learning, and laughing. I won’t walk away recounting typos that were missed while perusing each issue before it went to print.

I will walk away recounting memories: burrito mornings and Cheryl’s “homemade” hot sauce in Sonic packaging; Cara and the seagulls in Corpus; late nights giggling with Brenda; Jimmy’s insistence that none of her pictures are good (but they are all great); Sylvia’s catchy positive attitude and confidence; getting honorable mention with Kaitlyn – squirrel!; Kendall being courageous and eating alligator tail; Claire not losing her head; Peter’s money shots; Susanna’s contagious sweet smile; Jason’s example; Steve’s jokes; Marilyn McGhee, “One for three dollars or two for ten”; Debit, Credit, and Deborah Tout.

I am also appreciative to the administration for supporting us as needed. You always made time to get the word out to the student body. Thank you for helping me do my job.

Skyline staff: I fully expect you to move onward and upward. Go for Sweepstakes next year!

Best of luck to Kendall Hallmark, future Editor-in-Chief.

Students interested in newswriting, designing, or photography should see working for the college publication as an opportunity to hone and perfect your skills on a weekly basis. If you’re simply looking for a job that will give you 10 to 20 hours a week, please do not apply because the Skyline is about much more than a paycheck. The Skyline is an award winning news publication for news stories, design, and photography and commitment is key.

All accomplished writers and photographers will tell you the key to success is practice. Read authors you admire, scour newspapers with a legit and respected reputation, and practice. Note what makes your favorite journalist, novelist, or photographer stand out and above the competition and strive to be like them. Then strive to be better.

Often, being a reporter means being the unpopular man or woman on campus because there are two sides to every story and a good journalist portrays both sides. Sometimes it means lighting a fire under apathy and other times it means putting out a wildfire that has spread too far and wide because of one person’s opinion.

Fahrenheit 451 author Ray Bradbury said this, “I hate all politics. I don’t like either political party. One should not belong to them - one should be an individual, standing in the middle. Anyone that belongs to a party stops thinking.” This translates to what it’s like working for the Skyline. It means standing between the administration and the student body and striving to present each side transparently, even

if one side doesn’t want to be. You have to be a thinker, an individual, and be willing to speak up for all students and allow all students to speak, not just a select few.

Reporters and photographers also need to be doers. Get involved, talk to new people, and carry a pen, pencil or camera at all times. Maybe you want to be a fiction writer when you finish your college career—in that case, think of all the character information you could be storing away for the future by interviewing different people.

Writing for the Skyline is something you can add to your curriculum vitae (CV). Winning awards at the Texas Intercollegiate Press Association convention looks great too. It’s experience that will speak volumes in the present and the future. Keep a portfolio of your work. If you write or photograph something you don’t want in your personal portfolio, don’t try to have it printed in the Skyline.

Designers play an important role in the publication of the Skyline. You don’t see their name on every page, but if you like the visual effects, thank a designer. Designing can be fun, but it can also be tedious. This job requires time and patience.

Working for the Skyline requires a high level of commitment to the News and Publication department, your fellow staff members, the student body, the administration, the alumni, and the countless faces of an unknown audience. If you’re not afraid of commitment and excellence and you have a desire to write, design, or photograph, visit BAB 108 to speak with Skyline adviser Cheryl Zinsmeyer before the mad rush for work study in the fall.

So, you want to work for the Skyline?O P I N I O N

John F. “Jeff” Fort III, retired Chief Executive Officer of Tyco International, will deliver the commencement address at Sul Ross State University-Alpine Campus graduation ceremonies Saturday, May 11.

Spring commencement exercises will be held at 10 am in the Pete P. Gallego Center.

Rio Grande College ceremonies will begin at 7:30 pm in the International Center for Trade, Eagle Pass. Dr Hector Gonzales, President-elect of Southwest Texas Junior College, will be the featured speaker.

Fort oversaw the massive growth of Tyco International, then returned from retirement to guide the company through a time of turmoil, helping to restore both its credibility and financial stability.

Fort, who began an illustrious business career as a part-time production control clerk while attending graduate school, rose to serve as President, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Tyco International. During his tenure,

the company grew internally and by acquisition from sales of $250 million to $3.5 billion. Upon his retirement in 1993, international sales had increased from 10 percent to 50 percent.

Fort graduated from the Landon School (1959), Bethesda, Md., then received a B.S. in Aeronautical Engineering (1963) from Princeton University. While attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he received an M.S. in Industrial Management (1966), he served as production control clerk for Simplex Wire and Cable Co., Cambridge, Mass.

Since retirement, Fort continues to serve as Chairman of the Compensation Committee for Roper Industries – New York Stock Exchange, Sarasota, Fla; and on the Board of Visitors for the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston. He previously served on the boards of numerous public companies around the world.

A Houston resident, he enjoys ranching and horse breeding, amateur archeology, ancient to contemporary art, mountaineering, hiking and skiing.

The $4.50/6.00 per semester credit hour athletic fee was once again the topic of conversation at the SGA meeting Wednesday, April 18. Cesario Valenzuela, VP for Finance and Operations, and Dr. Quint Thurman, Provost and VP for Academic and Student Affairs were invited to attend and answer questions pertaining to how the fee is being spent.

Also present was Leo Dominguez, SGA adviser and VP for Advancement and Dean of Student Life, plus various congress members, as well as students who attended in order to receive answers or voice concerns.

Valenzuela took the floor to reiterate the theme behind the original proposal of the fee: “Enhance the athletic department.”

Very few students attended forums held by the administration and the SGA to discuss the possible outcomes of the fee, but a recurring theme among the few who did attend concerned the actions and attitudes of athletes. “Students complained, we listened and our answer was to create this new full time position of head coach and athletic director.”

The athletic department has been cut $51,000 by the Student Service Fee committee (SSF), pending approval from Dr. Ricardo Maestas, SRSU president.

“When the fee was going through, travel was a big issue. It’s been cut so how will we fix the issues?” asked Ryan Hoffer, SGA treasurer and voting member of the SSF.

“I have to be conservative and make some cuts. Where? I don’t know. This is what I deal with every year,” said Valenzuela.

As the conversation turned back to the athletic fee and the concerns of some students about how the money is being spent, Chief Justice Sterling Baade said, “This is a small school. It’s important to combine positions.”

Valenzuela agreed and said, “That’s what we’re doing by combining the head coach and the athletic director.”

Athlete Taner Ragan was more concerned about the reasoning behind the athletic department being cut $51,000 and athlete Geoffrey H. Schuette asked about the long term plans for the fee and the possibility of a priority list being released. Many students are for

the athletic fee, but are concerned about athlete safety being dealt with immediately.

Student Bowie Adams brought the conversation back around when it strayed from the topic of the salary of the head coach. “Was it appropriate to ask students for this much money without a breakdown of where it was going?”

“We didn’t have those numbers yet,” Valenzuela said.

Domiguez told one student who felt the administration was not being honest, “We can’t guess what enrollment will be in August. If your crystal ball is better than ours, we’ll use it.”

“The issue is about the new coach salary and why we weren’t informed of it,” said public relations officer Samantha Vela.

SGA President Anna Sandoval asked for a showing of hands of the students who were not informed of this salary.

Valenzuela asked for students to admit whether they went to a forum on the subject prior to the vote. “A lot of students didn’t go to a forum,” he said, “There are about 60 students

here and maybe 30 went to the forums.” Senior Joey Van Noy said, “Can we rectify the situation? The vote is set so what can we do?” He suggested Coach Tyree hold a forum to inform the campus of his coaching methods for dealing with disciplinary issues.

Sandoval explained that a vote recall is not possible unless it is done

within a day of the vote. Thurman was asked if he had any

last words to share and he explained, “The coaches we tried to hire wanted over $100,000. They wanted full time coaching and no teaching. We couldn’t do that. The University is spending less with this plan.”

Thurman also made a comment that was misconstrued. “If the vote wasn’t done very well, the administration didn’t handle it.”

Earlier that week there were some concerns brought before the

administration about specific problems during the vote held in the UC. The administration did not handle the mechanics of voting and were not present; therefore any issues that arose should have been handled at the time by the student representatives.

Sandoval concluded the discussion with, “Students have a

right to be informed and that was our goal here.”

Senior recitals are a lot of work and no one knows this better than these three ladies. Becca Blomquist, Raven Thrasher and Karla Villaseñor. All had their senior recitals early last month.

Blomquist’s musical specialty is her per-formance in saxophone; she plays alto, tenor and baritone sax. Her advice for freshmen: “Don’t be afraid to be an individual, stand up for what you believe in, and pursue YOUR dreams,” Blomquist said. “If they change, that’s okay. Just follow them and let your heart lead!

“I picked Sul Ross because of the faculty-to-student ratio and the scenery in Alpine,” she said. “The atmosphere here is incredible and can really encourage and foster student individuality.” Blomquist plans to teach mu-sic to age groups between kindergarten and senior.

Thrasher specializes in classical and gos-pel music, but also sings other genres.

“Gospel and classical are my favorites,” Thrasher said.

Her advice for incoming freshman: “Go to class and always try to do your best at everything. I would say to freshman: do not enter into any university expecting to gradu-

ate with the same degree you start out with. I started out as a music education major and now I am in performance,” said Thrasher.

“I picked SR because of the help that was offered. Every teacher I have had has helped me become a better student and has encour-aged me to further my education in so many different areas.”

“I plan on becoming an opera singer and furthering my education to teach college-level voice lessons. I honestly would love to travel the world and perform wherever I can,” Thrasher said.

Last but not least, Villaseñor is obtaining her degree in performance with a specialty in vocals.

Villaseñor’s advice for freshmen is “don’t let anybody discourage you from what you want to do; follow your dreams and you’ll get far.”

The reason Villaseñor chose Sul Ross was also due to the low teacher-student ratio.

“You feel more at home, more like a family here,” she said.

As far as plans after graduation go, Vil-laseñor wants to teach mariachi. Eventually she wants to join Mariachi Reyna de Los An-geles, a famous mariachi band.

This past Friday was a really big day for the sci-ence community here at Sul Ross, the unveiling of the university’s scanning electron microscope, or as it is more commonly called, the SEM. After speaking with Leslie Hopper, the project director of the Adelante Tejas program at the Rio Grande Research Center, I found out a little more about this microscope.

It will be used by faculty and students in the new analytical lab and has many different uses such as 3D images, X-ray microanalysis, detection of backscat-tered electrons, and secondary electrons. The SEM produces images of a sample by bombarding it with a focused beam of electrons, creating a strikingly clear image at a high resolution.

What sets this microscope apart from other schools that have one is that Sul Ross students will be able to

use it, and with the small class sizes it is very unique that we have the opportunity to have such an instru-ment.

“A student attending a larger school probably wouldn’t get close to a SEM as an undergrad,” Dr. Kevin Urbanczyk, director of the Rio Grande Research Center, said. He explained that the SEM offers an ex-perience that graduates and post-doctoral candidates would usually get.

Sul Ross now has the capability to produce gradu-ates with knowledge of analytical methods and specif-ic, sought-after expertise, he explained. It is estimated that over 50 percent of Sul Ross students will now have an opportunity to experience or work with the new SEM.

“Everything with science brings great opportuni-ties, not just for science majors but for all students,” Hopper said. “This will really have a large impact.”

Earnest Jones, Boerne; and Laura Ashley Anderson, Odessa, were named the 2013 Sul Ross State University Man and Woman of the Year at the annual Honors Convocation, held Monday, April 22 in Marshall Auditorium.

Jones, a senior communication major and McNair Scholars Program participant, has been active in numer-ous on- and off-campus activities since enrolling at Sul Ross. He plans to pursue a Master’s degree in organi-zational communication at Texas State University-San Marcos, then a Ph.D. at Rutgers University or the University of California Santa Barbara, also in organi-zational communication.

Anderson, a senior vocal music edu-cation major, has been active in music and theatre performance at Sul Ross.

She has also directed the children’s choir at First Baptist Church of Al-pine and maintains a 3.65 grade point average. She will student teach in San Antonio this coming fall.

Jones, who grew up in New Orleans, La., relocated in Texas due to Hurri-cane Katrina and graduated from high school in Boerne. He came to Sul Ross to play football, but after two years on the varsity, decided to focus on his

academic work.He participated in the McNair

Scholars Program for two summers, and his undergraduate research poster presentations twice won top honors at the Central States Communication As-sociation Undergraduate Honors Con-ference. In addition to his scholarship, Jones has been active in Student Sup-port Services, winning the student of the year award his second year. Along with other members of student support services he regularly volunteers at the Alpine Food Pantry.

He helped re-organize the Black Student Association and served as their president and was instrumental in organizing a fund raising effort to take members of the group to Washington DC. He also helped with re-estab-lishing Lambda Pi Eta, the National Communication Honor Society and is the current president. He was named the 2013 Outstanding Communication Student.

Jones also worked off-campus for the majority of his four years at Sul Ross, first at Bealls as a sales associate and more recently at the Gage Hotel, Marathon, as a waiter. His work off campus has enabled him to help his

younger brother and sister also success-fully complete high school and prepare for college. His long-term goal is to found a non-profit organization to work with young people in inner city areas.

Anderson, the daughter of Patricia and Bill Anderson, graduated from Odessa High School and attended Odessa College before transferring to Sul Ross.

She was a voice student of Dr. Erin Lippard and is currently a voice student of Dr. Donald Callen Freed. She has been a vocal music excellence award recipient and a soloist with the Sul Ross Concert Choir.

She has performed on all student recitals, including voice and piano, and successfully performed her senior capstone voice recital to a full house in the Studio Theatre.

Anderson has also been a significant participant in musical theatre pro-ductions, assuming lead roles in the productions of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Damn Yankees, The Will Rogers Follies, Xanadu, and Anything Goes, among others.

The Man and Woman of the Year award is the top honor a Sul Ross senior can receive.

Question: What do you get when you take Sul Ross grant students and a student

club, add a dose of elevation, some moderate-to-extreme physical activity, delicious and nutritious food, fresh air, and a helping (or three, or four) of science?

Answer: A mostly-memorable weekend trip to Big Bend National Park.

As with any University-sponsored trip, there are a few moments we might elect to forget rather quickly. Take the

forgotten toothbrush example: I know I packed it, but did I bring it? Or perhaps the evenly-matched set of blisters on both feet, sustained, no doubt, from the 10-mile trek up to the summit of Emory Peak and back. At any age or level of fitness, some temptations are just too powerful to ignore and for some, the South Rim Trail’s presence on Texas Monthly’s bucket list likely figures into the calculus “short hike vs. longer hike.”

The memorable parts fade slowly, perhaps never: The view of surrounding badlands and the other

side of that “green ribbon”—the Rio Grande River—into Mexico from Emory Peak. The refreshing burst of flavor biting into an orange at the summit (Mac brought half a bag and shared!), slaking your thirst from the extra gallon of water carried five miles uphill by the exceptionally generous Andrew Ross. Soaking away the tired ache in the hot springs while marveling that Gambusia (Gambusia gaigei), an endangered species since 1967, are known only from spring habitats in nearby Boquillas Canyon and Rio Grande Village. These tiny fish only

occur in Big Bend National Park. Perhaps marveling also at the adaptability of plants and animals that survive the extremes of the Chihuahuan Desert. Closer to camp, the expert’s fajita dinner followed by sopapilla cheesecake wasn’t exactly forgettable either.

How forgettable could the view of Saturn’s rings through the telescope during a Saturday night astronomy viewing with amateur astronomers David and Joan Oesper be? Similarly, that feeling of looking down at what appeared to be just rocks scattered about the desert at the Badlands Fossil Ranch, only to learn you were quite possibly standing on top of fossils from an ancient epicontinental sea. To think that might not be just a rock makes one watch every step!

“I think the most memorable parts of these weekends in the outdoors with students are the conversations,” says Hancock Hill Club advisor, Leslie Hopper.

“While we were hiking down from Emory Peak, I received a lesson in geography and politics from Ziggy. He grew up in Sierra Leone and is working on his Political Science degree at Sul Ross. Someday he will go back to his country as a leader. Learning about a country in Africa from a person who grew up there? That’s memorable!”

Making the trip were Fernanda Arroyo, Lawrence Beah, Jesse Gonzalez, Ma-cario Lopez, Beatriz Wong, Erica Wong, Dominique San-chez, Eric Sanchez, Andrew Ross, Logan Gordon, Dennis Avila and Leslie Hopper.

Gwen Sullivan, former data tracking specialist at Sul Ross, is a holistic health coach. The term holistic is defined as being “whole” and Sullivan has an interest in seeing people live healthy and fulfilling lives.

Her interest led her to create a walking group for the Big Bend area. On Facebook the group is known as “I Walk Big Bend” and the mission of the group is to provide an outlet for likeminded people to get together for fun, exercise, and community while enjoying the beauty that surrounds this area.

The group currently meets at 5:15 on Tuesdays and Thursdays evenings at the fountain in the mall area of the SRSU campus. Sullivan took a First Aid/CPR course before inviting people to join her each week.

“The walk is designed so people who want to join can cut out of their offices and go,” Sullivan says.

Sullivan also says, “Chuy Spencer [SR property

and inventory coordinator] has created a course that’s a little over two miles and takes advantage of every beautiful view on campus. [You can] come for 15 minutes or break away from the group whenever you want.”

The walk is designed for all levels of fitness. It is moderately challenging. Each person can choose their own pace and the group usually gathers back at the fountain to socialize for a few minutes before heading home.

Even though Sullivan is transitioning into a new position with another employer, she plans to walk as usual and as often as possible. She is also confident that people will go on without her because the group has been growing since its small beginning in February.

“All are invited to come join us. This is a really great way to get some exercise and have fun,” Sullivan says.

Students, faculty, staff, and the Alpine community as a whole are welcome to come and participate. Sullivan hopes to see more new faces at the fountain next Tuesday.

It sounds and looks like a magical place where alluring, exotic, history comes to life because it is just that: Spain.

Dr. Esther Rumsey and Dr. Filemon Zamora will be embarking on an 11-day adventure to Spain May 15-25 with seven students and alumni from Sul Ross. This will be Rumsey’s fourth trip to lead so she will be showing the ropes to rookie Zamora.

Of course, the loveable plush lobo “Sully” will be accompanying them on their voyage with Facebook photo updates throughout the trip.

Visiting a different country is the best way to fully grasp a new culture, language, food, and art.

“Spain influences Mexican culture in many ways, and, for our region of Texas, this trip will be especially beneficial to see where some of these influences came from,” Rumsey said.

Not only will they meet people from different cultures they will also “make lifetime friends with people from other schools that accompany us on the trip,” said Rumsey.

Out-of-country excursions “really bring home world news and make history come alive,” Rumsey stated.

The late Dr. Abelardo “Abe” Baeza, Alpine native and longtime Sul Ross State University faculty member, will be honored posthumously during the 2013 Alpine Cinco de Mayo observance. The annual celebration, with the theme “Honoring Education,” will be held May 3-5.

Baeza’s brother, Armando, will serve as parade Grand Marshall. The parade will be held Saturday, May 4, at 11 am. The parade begins at the Alpine Civic Center and will proceed east on Holland Ave., ending at Jackson Field.

Baeza, who died in 2004, was a two-time Sul Ross graduate and later a member of the faculty for 34 years. In addition to his teaching, he was a prolific writer and was a 2008 recipient of the Distinguished Alumni Award. He was the first Hispanic Ph.D. to teach at Sul Ross.

He was born May 14, 1944 in

Alpine, the son of Marcelino and Anita T. Baeza. He attended Centennial School, then Alpine High School, graduating in 1963. He received his Bachelor’s (1967) and Master’s (1970) in English and Spanish from Sul Ross, and his Ph.D. (1979) from Texas Tech University, Lubbock.

“Dr. Baeza was known for the high quality of his classes,” a friend and colleague noted at the time of his death. “He taught his classes with a great deal of enthusiasm and excitement. His classes were an adventure for the students...alive, creative events.”

On a number of occasions, Baeza arranged for authors being studied in his classes to visit with the students – either in person or via telephone or video conference. Authors included Rudolfo Anaya, Edward Albee, Judy Blume, Richard Rodriguez and Ernest Hemingway’s son, Patrick.

During his long tenure at Sul Ross, Baeza served in numerous capacities, including instructor, associate professor and professor of English and Spanish; Minority Affairs director; director of Title V; and director of Mexican American Studies. He received the Outstanding Teaching Award in 1997 and was twice nominated for the Piper Professor Award presented by the Minnie Stevens Piper Association.

Baeza both wrote about and promoted Chicano/Chicana authors and literature. His first book, “Keep Blessing Us Ultima,” served as a reading guide for Anaya’s memorable novel, “Bless Me, Ultima.”

He is survived by his brother; and one sister, Maria T. Gonzales. He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Tomas Tarango; and sisters, Francisca T. Mendoza and Elida Tarango.

Peppers finds dream job before graduationBy Claire UnderwoodReporter

Hard work, dedication, and perseverance are all qualities that college students should strive for, but for non-traditional students such as Amanda Peppers, they can mean even more.

Being a non-traditional student does have its drawbacks though.

“I didn’t get to participate in a lot of activities,” Peppers said. “I have a three-year-old

Kappa Delta Pi

induction May 10

daughter and I worked part time in Student Services.”

A good work ethic is something that can be a plus from starting school at a later age. Peppers works really hard in school and was inducted into Sigma Tau Delta, an English Honor Society. She admits that “it is much harder to go back to school when you have a family, so don’t give up! You will definitely regret not taking the opportunity when you had it.”

Peppers is a history major who loves museums and her dream job is to work at one.

She is currently the curator/collection manager for the Commemorative Air Force Airpower Museum in Midland. The CAF is a not-for-profit organization that owns one of the world’s largest collections of airworthy war planes, including the world’s only airworthy B-29, Fifi, which is currently located in Addison, Texas.Photo courtesy Amanda Peppers

On April 18 – 20, the Sul Ross Rodeo Team journeyed to an intercollegiate competition in Stephenville where Seth Mahaffrey, Jessica Wood, Sadie Sacra, and Jared Harris all placed in their events a final time for the 2012–2013 rodeo season. Though the season has ended, the work doesn’t stop for rodeo coach, Chance Campbell.

Campbell diligently works to expand his recruiting efforts for the following rodeo season. Due to Campbell’s success, Sul Ross has several new recruits joining the rodeo team who come all the way from the Canadian tundra to the Louisiana swamps.

Campbell says, “I feel very excited about the upcoming season. I believe we’re going to do a lot of good with the returning and new kids on the team.”

The focus of his recruiting has been individuals with skills in team roping, steer wrestling, goat tying, and breakaway roping to compliment the skills of the current rodeo team members.

Campbell wanted to thank the Alumni members and Big Bend Ranch Rodeo Committee for their generous donations to the rodeo team. With a $30,000 check given by the Alumni and

over $100,000 donated in the course of 7–8 years by the Big Bend Ranch Rodeo Committee, recruitment efforts have been highly successful.

Interested in the rodeo team of the 2013–2014 season, as a sponsor, member, or supporter? Campbell can be reached by email at [email protected] or 432-837-8240 in the Range and Animal Science Center with any comments or concerns.

Results for the overall ranking of SRSU Rodeo Team in the 2012–2013 season are listed at left.
