Tickets are on sale now for the event created by Sam Houston students to bring out the public in the fight against breast cancer in a way unprecedented to Huntsville and to build the university spirit during welcome week, creator Justen Barber said.
The charity music event will captivate the crowd with three stages simultaneously playing a variety of unique and progressive music, such
as dubstep, dance, electronic and trance with a high quality sound system and vivid rave laser lights.
DJ Exceed will headline the lineup set to perform, which includes: Sno White - Area 512 Ent., Vinyl Vixens, Afterdark Dallas; DJ Kruz - Vinyl Vixens, Afterdark Dallas; TradeMark - Area 512 Ent. / Desert Junglist; DJ Lullaby - KAOS Entertainment/Locked In/Neurotraxx/LOTUS/Vinyl Vixens; loww-Fi - Area 512 Entertainment, DUBNUGZ; Davinci - Davinci Unlimited Productions/One Purpose Records; Rudebwoyz- DJ Faiel (Underworld) and MC Buda Love (TX DUB);Paul James - Area 512 Ent.

ElectroFiends, R.A.D; DJ Tokin vs. DJ Sticky, PARTY HARD- Rave2Save DJ’s, Yonder and a special Guest performance by ENNOVI
“DJ Exceed is well known around Texas and in the electronic music scene nation-wide,” said Barber, junior Spanish major and mass communication minor.
To kick off the rave, a Splash for the Cure pre-party will be held at the new Forum Apartment Complex pool Friday.
Tickets will be sold at the pool party with a side of free food, drinks and t-shirts
A shuttle service will also be offered by the Forum to bring students from campus to the pool celebration.
An Electric Fox after party will be held at the Jolly Fox Saturday until 2 a.m. for the charity music festival.
Barber said all proceeds from Rave for the Cure will go to the American Cancer Society and Keep a Breast Foundation.
He said he chose the American Cancer Society because he knew it has previously been involved with other university fundraising events, such as Relay for Life, which raised $36,000 in April.
He also said he liked the Keep a Breast Foundation because of its appeal to a younger crowd Breast Cancer Awareness products, such as “I Love Boobies” bracelets.
One week after posting the event on Facebook, 500 users had an “Attending” RSVP. That number today has grown to 2,172 “Attending” and 1,721 “Maybe Attending”.
Barber said his team’s goal is to have an attendance of at least 1,000 people at Sam Houston State University’s first charity musical festival, which he hopes will become annual, and to spread awareness to other universities, who he hopes will adopt Rave for the Cure at their campus in the future.
This is the first event Barber has created, but he said he hasn’t worked alone and shared appreciation for all those involved.
“I have had help with certain things along the way,” Barber said. “Shawn Carson, Colton Cornett, Juan Alatorre, Taylor Cobbaruvias, Matt St. Amour, Jorge Rojas, and Nathan Kamran have contributed their time and efforts to the cause.”
Local grocery stores will be donating water to keep all the students hydrated, while Student Activities and organizations Kappa Delta Chi, Colleges Against Cancer, Black Student Alliance, IFC, Monster Energy--Zach Cornwell, Nutrition Central, Creation Graphics, Eat’em Up Kones, Humphrey’s, Jolly Fox, Formations Printing in Conroe, Area 512 Entertainment, LFG have also contributed to the event.
Anyone interested in getting involved with the event is encouraged to contact Justen Barber at 832-725-3256 or [email protected]. Donations and volunteers will also be accepted at the event.
Tickets are also available online at Rave2save.eventbrite.com for $10.
Several years ago, a passionate three-year-old girl from Chicago walked into the room where her parents were entertaining guests. She danced, sang and regaled several stories to her parent’s friends.
Today, and throughout her young adult life, Roberta Sloan, founding Dean of the College of Fine Arts and Mass Communication, wants to help develop the passion of students at Sam Houston State University.
“I want to see students have success and fulfill their goals and dreams,” Sloan said. “I see my life as one of service, to faculty, students, this university and staff. Service is a major part of my life, maybe that’s why I feel so at home at this university.”
Her service began as a student studying medicine, like her father, before pursuing her dreams of acting, directing and education.
“I only managed a C in biology,” Sloan said, “but I was very interested and enjoyed education.”
She began taking classes at the Art Institute of Chicago,
which wasn’t an easy commute.
“I went to art classes every morning,” Sloan said. “Rain, sleet, snow…my mother didn’t drive so I took two buses and a subway every day.”
“It took some effort to get there, but I would say those art classes made a difference in my life. Every now and then, I have a need to go, look and appreciate art. The arts are very important to me.”
Sloan’s devotion to service would begin to show when she got her bachelor’s degree from Northwestern University.
She had a passion for education, and after receiving her first degree, she felt the need to continue her education. However,
the thought of receiving a doctorate wasn’t even considered. She said it was an anomaly of the time for women to do what she was doing.
“You have to put it in the context of the time,” Sloan said. “Women were told that they could pretty much be secretaries, nurses, teachers and homemakers. The thought of a female continuing on in her education and getting a doctorate was very unusual.”
However, the last summer before she was to get her master’s she got a teaching job in the National High School Institute at Northwestern University. It was a job she loved to do.
“They told me, as long as I was there, I should teach for them,” Sloan said, “but in order to do that I would have to enter the doctoral program. So, I said, ‘Ok.’”
“So, I stayed there the whole year and did that,” Sloan said. “I loved the doctoral program. I loved the courses I was teaching. I enjoyed being in shows and directing…it was a Ph.D. that included everything.”
The Huntsville City Council has approved a redistricting plan after months of debate, prompting a response of semi-approval from the Student Government Association.
The council voted five to four in support of Map C, which divides the campus
into two wards rather than the previous four. The SHSU SGA posted on Facebook that, “Though the SGA endorsed ‘Map B’ was not adopted, ‘Map C,’ a compromise map, decreases the number of voting wards SHSU is split into.”
Mayor J. Turner, Dr. Wayne Barrett, Dr. Tom Cole, Jack Wagamon, and James Fitch all voted in
support. “I think that a majority
of council saw that it was the best way to represent our city,” Turner said.
Several representatives of SGA attended city council meetings throughout the summer to show support for Map B, which essentially gave students of SHSU their own ward, allowing them to elect a representative and vote on the same candidates.
Turner said the decision was a way of compromise to get a majority support.
“In order to get to the point, we had to find common grounds,” Turner said.
Sen. Kendall Scudder (CHSS) was an advocate for Map B, but agrees with Turner’s opinion that it is a good compromise.
“It’s better for students,” Scudder said. “We didn’t get what we wanted but sometimes you have to sit down and compromise to make progress.”
The remainder of the council, including Mac Woodward, Don Johnson, Keith Olson and Lydia Montgomery, voted in support of Map E.
Rebel fighters continue to make gains in the Libyan capital of Tripoli after seizing Colonel Muammar el-Qaddafi’s compound on Tuesday and fighting off the remaining pockets of resistance Wednesday.
While they did not find Qaddafi in the Bab al-Aziziya compound, they did find weapons and ammunition.
The Benghazi-based opposition is seeking to end the chaos in Libya, while a bounty has been placed on Qaddafi’s head. Libyan businessmen have donated 2 million dinars, roughly $1.7 million, towards capturing him dead or alive.
Like the rebel government, the Transitional National Council, Qaddafi is continuing to take a stand. He announced through a recorded message broadcasted on a Tripoli radio station Tuesday that he vows “martyrdom” or
victory. Qaddafi claimed in his
announcement that his retreat from Bab al-Aziziya where his compound now
stands ransacked was a “tactical” move.
“There’s a possibility of things improving, and for the people [of Libya]
to have a more normal government” said Dr. Masoud Kazemzadeh, a professor of International Relations and Middle East
Politics at SHSU. “Even if they don’t capture [Qaddafi] and he remains in hiding he will not be able to come to power again.”
The Transitional National Council sees Qaddafi’s movement as a step closer to their own success. A regularly repeated rebel pledge comes to mind in terms of this siege: “We will celebrate in Bab al-Aziziya,” and they certainly did. Journalists in Tripoli said many citizens stayed indoors while rebels shot off thousands of ammunition rounds in celebration.
Along with the rebel’s fighting, NATO airstrikes also continue to fire in Tripoli, but Kazemzadeh said NATO would not become more involved.
“It isn’t like Iraq, only about 20 percent of Libyans support Qaddafi, and Libyans are fighting [this war] themselves,” Kazemzadeh said
As the rebels persist in their military struggle, progressing to Surt, an ancestral city to Qaddafi and one of the last of the leader’s strongholds, the Libyan government has toppled. Qaddafi’s ministers have abandoned their offices.

The Aramark staff has had a busy summer, and when you walk into their newest dining facility you’ll see that all that work has paid off.
This is the thirteenth location on campus for Aramark, and I would say that 13 is a lucky number, not only for them, but for the entire student body.
The layout of the Old Main Market is a dream for anyone who has spent hours watching The Food Network.
Aramark District Manager Brad Blackburn called the concept a “kitchen-less restaurant,” which is just another reason to love this place. No more wondering exactly what has been done to your food since it’s now prepared right in front of you. The prices are a value when compared to other local all-you-can-eat restaurants and cafeterias.
Not only are the prices agreeable, but the food is too!
The produce is purchased locally through Houston
Avocado, and the sheer variety of the menu is amazing. Each station within the facility is dedicated to a different type of food, such as comfort food or international dishes.
With a three week rotating menu, it would be difficult to complain about being burnt out on the same old type of food everyday. And don’t worry about missing your favorite dish since the menus for each station and each mealtime can be found online for several weeks in advance.
The only things I’ve found to complain about are relatively minor. First, unless you know the layout of the building, it can be frustrating trying to figure out where to line up for the food you want.
Each station has a plate made to display what they are serving, but when it’s crowded this can be difficult to see. However, after a few visits you begin to learn your way around and it’s no longer a problem.
My second, and final, complaint is the location.
Old Main Market is located at the bottom of a steep hill, and on days with extreme weather this can be a problem. The plus side here is that you don’t have to worry about packing on the pounds from all the amazing desserts since you’ll be trudging up and down that hill.
The best part of Aramark’s new facility is the service. The employees are friendly and polite. Maybe it’s the new, brighter work atmosphere, or maybe it’s the opportunity to prepare high-quality meals. Whatever it is the employees actually look happy to be there and it translates into friendlier, prompter service.
Overall, I’d give Aramark’s Old Main Market 5 out of 5 stars. Even the negatives can be turned into positives and I personally can’t wait to try all of the delicious dishes over the course of this semester.
Lucky number thirteenKarmen King thinks Old Main Market is a hit.

Don’t let society silence you!
Write in to The Houstonian and let your voice be heard!
Welcome freshmen! It’s one day into the semester, feeling overwhelmed yet? If you are that’s perfectly natural. If you aren’t, well, just wait until midterms.
The good news is there are lots of ways to create a support system for those times you feel like it’s just all too much too fast.
Now I don’t know every way imaginable to create this network, but I do have a few ideas for you to try.
Let’s start by getting involved. No doubt when you came for orientation you were inundated with pamphlets and information from dozens of campus organizations, these are a great place to start.
Find orgs that fit your interests and attend a few of their meetings to see if it’s a good fit for you. If you’re not sure what groups are on campus, pay a visit to the friendly staff in the Student Activities Office, or visit org link to explore all the options.
Be sure to try out a few different types of organizations, from social to Greek to service to academic and everything in between. Looking to serve the student body, then check out the Student Government Association.
Next up on the agenda, study groups. I know many of you are shy like me, but forming study
groups will benefit you immensely. If you aren’t comfortable walking up to random people and asking them to study with you then just send out a class email via Blackboard or SHSU Online. Not only will study groups help your grades, they’re also another great way to make life-long friends.
Ok, so far we’ve covered organizations and study groups as good ways to create a safety net. But, what happens when it really all is just too much? As SHSU students we are fortunate to have several professional services available to help us in this situation.
First, and most importantly, is the Counseling Center. They have crisis walk-in hours or you can make an appointment. Their website is full of helpful tips to deal with the common stress factors of balancing college and life.
Now if your source of stress is planning for your future, Sam has a service for that as well. Visit Career Services for career counseling and assessment or even help with building your resume.
Get into a little jam with the law? SHSU has support for that as well through the Student’s Legal Services program.
Back to the fun stuff. The best way to meet new people and have tons of fun in the process is by supporting our Bearkat athletic teams.
We have six men’s and nine women’s NCAA Division I teams to cheer on. There is no better feeling than standing in a mass of orange cheering for a goal in soccer, a kill in volleyball, or for the run to the end zone in football.
And, if standing on the sidelines isn’t enough for you, then check out the Recreational Sports department for their many intramural programs. Think about the fun you’ll have and the friends you’ll meet flying around on the Quidditch pitch or catching the winning pass in flag football.
As you can see, there are many ways to make your freshman year, in fact all of your time at SHSU, fun and manageable.
Explore, learn and soak it all up. Appreciate this opportunity you have and remember your first year still counts towards your GPA!
While the college life can seem overwhelming at times, just remember, when you’re a Bearkat you’re never alone.

several other areas. The app does not replace
the coupon books. The company said it is another way for students to access local deals, including ones that are redeemable straight from the app itself.
McKenzie Smith, who interned for CampusSpecial.com, said that the app is already making an impact.
“My friends are super
excited about this app,” Smith said, “because in the past we’ve often forgotten our coupon books at home. Now if we do, we’ll have the entire book plus our campus Food Court, right on our phone.”
In the Huntsville area, the app has businesses such as Arby’s, Mr. Hamburger and SH Dining Services. It also allows students to order
food straight from the app as well. Currently, only Hunt Brothers Pizza is available for in-app ordering.
The company most recently launched a virtual Food Court for ordering food online at all universities, according to a press release.

UPD Update
Political group promotes anti-Obama mission
The LaRouche Political Action Committee set up on campus yesterday to protest Pres. Barack Obama’s presidency.
A member of the group, Memo Grenados, said the purpose of the group’s presence was to gather up support for the committee’s cause.
“We want to get as many young people involved in our political movement,” Grenados said. “We aren’t partisan; we just want them to support us because we will fight for them.”
The group had signs and posters, some of which read, “Invoke the 25th Amendment,” and depicted Obama with a moustache resembling that of former
Nazi-Germany leader Adolf Hitler, he was also cross-eyed.
“Section four of the 25th amendment to the Constitution says that any sitting President can be removed by his cabinet for mental, or physical reasons,” Grenados said. “Obviously the President isn’t physically handicapped, but he suffers from a mental disease.”
Grenados said several reports from 2009 claimed Obama suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
The group said, while several students would make comments as they passed their table, good and bad, that they signed up well over 50 students for their PAC.

Sloan was the second person to graduate from the University of Michigan with a doctorate in theatre.
Getting a doctorate and being in administration doesn’t stop her from being active in her field. Sloan developed a one-woman show about Deborah Franklin, wife of Benjamin Franklin, which she will perform at the University of Pennsylvania in the coming weeks.
In addition to performance and other fine arts, Sloan has worked extensively in the mass communication field. She served as the executive producer and production manager for OETA, an Oklahoma educational television station, as well as
owning her own advertising agency.
“When I was a producer, I made documentaries,” Sloan said. “One of them was shown nationally, one was shown regionally. One of them, called ‘Story of a Native American Painting.’”
She wants to use her background, not only to help the fine art departments, but to help students in the mass communication field and, eventually, encourage the entire college to work together to produce the “finest College of Fine Arts and Mass Communication in the world.”
Sloan said, “Why not?”“I see mass
communication as an integral part of this college and the connections are there,” she said. “You have
art and theatre. We can do serials, we can do sit-coms and we can webcast. Digital media goes across art and mass communication.”
“I am a very fair person. I want to see the college come into its own. My background in media gives me additional perspective than someone who is purely arts would have.”
Sloan said it should be easy for the college to become hugely successful.
“We have, in this college, some of the most talented faculty and students anywhere,” she said. “I have known of the various departments in this college for a long time, but the world at large does not. My job is to let the world at large know who we are.”
In order to accomplish this, Sloan wants to exploit
the ever-“blurring” lines between the two fields.
“We want to be ahead of the curve, not imitating what anyone else does, but cutting our own pathways,” she said.
The two colleges, which previously made up a portion of other colleges, once had to “fight for their territory,” Sloan said. But, she said, they won’t have to do that anymore.
“We are one now, and we pretty much have the same goals,” Sloan said.
She expressed her outlook to her coming years at Sam Houston with the same attitude she took to get where she is.
“The world is open to us.”

There’s a new dining facility on campus. And it’s big.
The 32,000 sq ft, 600-seating facility boasts nine different food stations, each with unique options readily available for the average student.
“The best thing about this facility is that the food is cooked right there in front of you,” Jimmy Williams, marketing coordinator for SH Dining Services, said.
Old Main Market is a part of Aramark’s Fresh Food Company, which is designed to “meet the needs and preferences of today’s students, faculty and staff that are looking to balance their health, wellness and lifestyle goals.”
“The Fresh Food concept allows for a tremendous amount of variety and innovation,” said Brad Blackburn, Resident District Manager, ARAMARK at Sam Houston State University. “We are very pleased to offer the student body a cutting edge food-service experience with a variety of fresh, healthy food choices served in a fun, comfortable dining environment.”
The facility opened at the beginning of August.
“This new facility is a great example of honoring
FRESH FOODS. Old Main Market is open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Mon. through Thurs. It’s also open from 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. On Saturdays it serves breakfast from 8-9 a.m., lunch from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and dinner from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. On Sunday it serves brunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and dinner from 5-8 p.m.

our past as the university continues its outstanding progress,” University President Dana Gibson said. “The Old Main Market name pays homage to the past in a facility that provides our students a next generation dining
experience.”The nine stations include
the International Grille; the Mediterranean Grille, which offers hot dishes made on its round, flat, open grill; the Comfort Station, which serves traditional comfort foods; the brick
oven, which serves pizza, calzones and baked pastas; a bakery / dessert Station; a produce market / deli and a 24-hour breakfast station, featuring waffles, omelets and cereal.

Campus Special goes mobileCampus Special now has
a new way they hope makes it easier for students to access coupons and deals at local area businesses.
The company created the Campus Special App for iPhone and Android that uses GPS location to find mobile coupons and deals near to those who use it.
Campus Special Co-Founder Joe Jacobs said the goal of the app was to incorporate all of their services into “one cohesive product.”
“What better was to do that then place our product in one thing that students have with them at all times...their phone,” Jacobs said. “They can now redeem their coupons and order food online straight through the app.”
Around Sam Houston State University and the nation, Campus Special is most known for its $100 bill coupon books given away at sporting events, organization activities and

SGA pres. removed, Eberhart takes over
NEW MAN IN TOWN. Pres. Tyler Eberhart, a senior criminal justice major, took over for former Pres. A. Rene McKelvey after she was forced out of office after failing to meet the candidate requirements after striking a deal with the Dean of Students Office.
At the first Student Government Association summer session, Dean of Students John Yarabeck announced that A. Rene McKelvey was no longer eligible for the SGA Presidency, and that then vice-president, Tyler Eberhart, would take over.
McKelvey later explained that a deal had been struck between herself and the Dean of Students office after it was discovered that she was not academically eligible for the position at the time she filed.
Yarabeck said that he allowed McKelvey the opportunity to run if she could bring her grades up to the point that would make her eligible by the time she took office.
The deal was also on the condition that charges against the “Bearkats for Bearkats” ticket were dropped with the Student Supreme Court.
The charges accused the “Bearkats for Bearkats” of campaigning outside of the alotted time. Yarabeck confirmed the deal.
McKelvey released a statement saying that she doesn’t feel it’s right for students to suffer the consequences of poor communication between
university officials.“As a student, I believed
that my standing was cleared when the advisor told me it was fine for me to run for Student Body President,” McKelvey said. “I did not know that it was necessary to double check the information shared with me with his boss.”
As McKelvey left the meeting, Eberhart stood up and told the senate that they will not stop working and that they were all still elected to represent the students.
Gibson originally scheduled a meeting with McKelvey to discuss the matter. However, the meeting was later canceled because, “[Gibson] no longer feels that this is a matter that concerns the presidency,” according to her office.
Secretary Cortnie Crayton was offered the same deal as McKelvey but managed to get her grades to be eligible to maintain her position. But during one of the last summer meetings, Crayton resigned, but was reappointed by Eberhart moments later.
Eberhart then refocused the Student Government to show support in the city’s redistricting vote.
The Senate supported Map B, essentially giving students their own ward,
and representative on the city council.
Several councilmembers, including Don Johnson and Keith Olson spoke out against letting students have their own ward. While other members, like Dr. Tom Cole, supported the amendment.
Several members of the senate attended various city council meetings, including holding summer senate sessions, at city council to increase student involvement in the town’s policy-making board.
Eberhart also said during one meeting that SGA will no longer meet for 90 minutes.
“We leave here, and we go serve the students,” Eberhart said. “There will be alot more senate accountability and alot more senate responsibility.”
Recently, Eberhart has been in the process of interviewing candidates for the office of vice-president, which was left vacant after he was moved up.
The SGA President has the power to fill all vacancies. Eberhart previously said that he was going to make a decision by the end of the summer.
Eberhart has yet to make his decision regarding the matter.

Former student runs for City Council
Former SHSU student Katie Newman has filed her paperwork to join the race for a seat on the Huntsville City Council.
Newman will run for the Ward 2 seat currently held by Mayor Pro-Temp Mac Woodward, whose seat is term-limited. She has resided in Huntsville for the past three years.
“I love Huntsville, and I feel I can make it a better place for all of its citizens,” Newman said in a press release.
Newman said she has attended most of the regular city council meetings since last June. During that time, Mayor J. Turner placed her on the Huntsville Beautification Advisory Committee in December 2010.
Her campaign team, which includes two current SHSU students, has opened
a variety of social media including a Facebook and Twitter page.
“Walker County and the City of Huntsville have really been using it as a tool since the wildfire,” Newsman said. “So why not use it as a good tool.”
Before she began her campaign, Newman was a political science major at SHSU before dropping out last semester.
“At the time I was really not focused on school,” Newsman said. “I had a lot of pressure put on me from a variety of sources. I wasn’t really into [school] at the time.”
She said that dropping out has no impact on her ability to serve.
“I still support the university,” she said. “Sometimes you have to move on in life and school was just not in my path.”
Newman said that she has no regrets with the decision, which in part had to do with grades and her full-time job
at SAAFE House where she worked for a year.
“I stopped school to work with the non-profit full-time,” Newman said. “With the job that I took, I learned organizational skills and grew up a lot.”
She said her education from her work at SAAFE House and within the City Council makes her a qualified representative.
“I have been attending City Council meetings since June 2010, and I’ve only missed one,” Newman said. “I’ve been to a couple budget workshops. I’m at the age where I understand students, but I also have substance.”
She said her age will be a benefit when it comes to helping represent the university and her constituents.
“I think the age of 18 to 27 is a very vital age for people,” Newman said. “Not that Huntsville doesn’t care about that age group. But in a college town,
having someone that age on city council would be a huge benefit.”
One example she cited was her support for Map B during the redistricting issue. Map B would have created a ward specifically for the area where the majority of university students live.
“I don’t want to say the City Council is ignoring students when the redistricting vote has been stalled for three months,” Newman said, “but college students do not have someone that they feel can represent them.”
“I would love to be a buffer between the city and the college.”
Newman encourages anyone with questions to email her at [email protected], or contact her through her social media sites.
Elections are scheduled to be held on Tuesday, Nov. 8.

Accounting prof. dies at 59
Associate professor of accounting Jeff Harwell, 59, died on July 13 after a lengthy battle with lung cancer.
Harwell was a CPA and professor at SHSU for 30 years.
He began his career at Ernst & Ernst after getting his degree from Texas A&M in 1974.
Phillip Morris, Ph.D., acknowledged Harwell’s numerous years at the university.
“He has positively impacted the lives of thousands of Bearkats in that time,” Morris said. “He was a great teacher, a wonderful colleague and will be greatly missed.”
Those close to Harwell said that he was a genuinely nice person, wonderful to be around, and a very
well respected member of not only the accounting department, but also the entire College of Business.
A memorial service was held on July 16. It is requested that anyone who would like to give a gift in his honor can donate to the scholarship fund at the accounting department.

Budget hit 20 percent
The administration outlined possible effects that the new university budget may have on students, faculty and staff during the public budget meeting held over the summer.
University President Dana Gibson, Ph.D. said state funding for SHSU has declined from 60 percent in 2001 to just under 40 percent for this upcoming fiscal year. She showed how this decline has resulted in higher tuition as well as some other changes for students, at the meeting.
Tuition is also being increased in an effort to cover professors’ salaries, non-state funded benefits for employees of the university, as well as a 15 to 20 percent increase for the Texas Public Education Grant.
Her goal is for the budget cuts to result in as little change for the students as possible.
“As states pull away from higher education funding, it does fall more and more on the backs of the students,” Gibson said.
She said the state had no choice but to cut higher education funding because
it is considered optional in comparison to other state funded programs. Texas has the lowest per capita spending of any other state, meaning there is less frivolous funding to cut, according to an analysis by Government Product News.
State revenue projections increased late in the congressional session, protecting the state budget from more cuts, including ones to higher education.
The SHSU budget received a $6.5 million cut. However, Gibson assured faculty and staff at the meeting it would not result in academic budget cuts.
The deans of individual colleges are responsible for finding ways to cut costs within their own departments to aid in covering the cuts in funding.
Gibson told audience members that the school already operates frugally and efficiently, so there will be many difficulties to overcome with the budget cuts.
“We will manage and get through,” she said.
Budget cuts will mainly affect faculty and staff, but students will see some minor changes as well.
The official university budget will be released sometime in mid-September.

Students will have a chance to experience something that “isn’t typical in Huntsville” when Sammypalooza comes to SHSU for the second time on September 30 in Johnson Coliseum.
Taking Back Sunday will be headlining this year’s concert along with Vertical Horizon set to open. The outside acts will include performances by Oh, Sleeper and Phil Pritchett. Several campus organizations and event sponsors will also provide different activities including free food, games and a rock wall for students. Co-created by the Recreational Sports department and Student Activities, this year’s Sammypalooza will offer something unique to Huntsville and SHSU students.
This year, SHSU took advantage of social media to get students actively involved in selecting the artists to perform. Throughout the summer, students have been able to vote for different artists they wanted to see at Sammypalooza on Facebook. Based on students’ preferences through the voting, this year’s concert will be based on alternative rock music.
“It definitely helped guide us as far as what genres that students wanted to see,” said Chuck Collins, Assistant Director of Student Activities and advisor of Program Council.
This year, Sammypalooza will be open to students, faculty and staff only rather than being open to the public in order to focus more on the students’ preferences. This year’s concert will also be slightly shorter because, according to Collins, many students left the concert early last year due to
its length. According to Collins, plans are
being drafted to present a large scale concert held in both fall and spring semesters that will feature a different music genre beginning next spring. The reason behind this new event is to focus on providing all students with a variety of music and catering to their preferences.
Free tickets are now available for students to pick up in the Bearkat OneCard office in the Estill building, Student Activities office in the LSC and the Recreational Sports office in the HKC. Students must have their activated Bearkat OneCard to receive their tickets.

Hands down, “The Help” is one of the best books I’ve read this year. I bought it as part of the book club I joined a week or two ago, and I read it in two days, barely putting down long enough to do the essentials, like sleep and bathe. I read while I ate.
The characters are vivid, and the situations they find themselves in make the reader worry for them, just as if they were as real and vivid as their own loved ones.
Miss Skeeter is a bit daft at times, but endearing and triumphant the rest. Her search for Constantine made me tear up on more than one occasion.
Miss Hilly, well, almost deserves the Terrible Awful.
She’s infuriating, and her views of the colored women that help her and the other white ladies of Jackson, Mississippi are enough to set my teeth on edge.
However, Aibileen and Minny make the book what it is. You fear for them from start to finish, and their views of the white families for whom they work are spot on. I hated Leroy from the beginning, and Minny’s end to the story is satisfyingly just. Not to mention the security of the Terrible Awful, which is genius and completely awful all at once.
There are moments where I literally burst out laughing, something that’s rather awkward when I’m at home, crashing on my parents couch, reading with a book light at 2 a.m.
Judging from a more
mechanical standpoint, I found Kathryn Stockett to be right on target. Her choice in diction for Minny and Aibileen is distinct, and, even without looking at the beginning of the section to see who’s speaking, their voices are clear as day. Skeeter’s voice stands just as strong.
I’m glad I chose to read this book before I saw the movie, which I’m sure I will this week. Drawing out the experiences of waiting for Skeeter to drive over to Aibileen’s house, or waiting for the book to come out, or waiting for Hilly to get to the end is worth the roughly 400 pages that I tore through in those now seemingly brief 48 hours.
Read this book. It makes a powerful statement, and its one worth listening to.

A Woman’s Worth Productions is aiming to raise awareness and support for abused women through their play titled “A Woman’s Worth” that will be presented at the Wortham Theater Center in Houston on October 29 and 30.
The plot of the play focuses on the story of Diane Deinevere, a woman who marries the man of her dreams only to be put through much more than she bargained for behind the scenes.
More than just entertainment, the plays presented by A Woman’s Worth Productions are created to highlight the struggles faced by abused women in order to promote awareness, women’s self-esteem and to help fund women’s outreach
programs. A Woman’s Worth
Productions was founded by Kenyarda McCarter in December 2010 after she left an abusive relationship and checked into a women’s shelter. During counseling, she was able to connect to the different stories of women who had experienced the same pain she did.
“When I looked at the statistics, I found that every seventeen seconds a teenage girl is abused by a man who tells her he loves her, while every thirty minutes a woman looses her life to a man who tells her he loves her,” said McCarter.
After receiving her degrees, McCarter began writing plays for her church and soon after partnered with Through the Fire Ministries to begin auditions in the Houston area.
Through the proceeds from the plays, both organizations work together with women’s shelters to provide Christian counseling for women, care packages for women in prison and assist young girls in school.
“The message of the play is to bring awareness to the types of abuse that different women encounter,” said McCarter. “I hope that by women seeing the characters, this play will mirror what goes on behind closed doors.”
Tickets for “A Woman’s Worth” go on sale in September and can be purchased in the Hobby Center box office.

An experienced Bearkat volleyball team will open up the season when they compete in the Comfort Suites/Bearkat Invitational over the weekend. The invitational will be a testing ground for the team as they will be facing competition from Texas-Pan American, L o u i s i a n a - L a f a y e t t e , Rutgers, and fellow Southland Conference member Texas A&M Corpus Christi.
This year’s team has 11 returning players including senior outside hitter Carli Kolbe, senior setter Kym Loving, and junior outside hitter/libero Kaylee Hawkins.
Kolbe is a two time first team All-Southland
Conference selection from College Station. Currently she is ranked number 18 on the all-time Sam Houston career list with 1,169 kills.
“Carli is a fierce competitor,” head coach Brenda Gray said. “She plays at a very high level and makes everyone around her better.”
Last season, Kolbe posted 424 kills, ranking her third in the Southland Conference. She became the first Bearkat since 2005 to have 400 or more kills in back-to-back seasons.
“Carli is like a spark,” sophomore setter and defensive specialist Taylor Gray said. “She is amazing at what she does and is a great leader for our team.”
Loving, a fifth year senior from Houston, is ranked number eight on the all-time Sam Houston career
list with 2,646 assists.“Kym is a good teacher
of the game,” Coach Gray said. “She helps the setters around her and knows what
it takes to get the job done.”According to Kolbe,
Loving knows a lot about the game and will do anything to win.
Hawkins, a junior from Dickinson, is a two time All-Southland Conference Honoree. She had 469 digs last year and is 17 away from 1,000 career digs.
“Kaylee can play anywhere and she does everything to the best of her ability,” Kolbe said.
The Kats have also added five new players that include four freshmen and junior transfer student Kendall Cleveland.
Cleveland, a junior outside hitter from Houston, is transferring from the University of Arkansas. In two years at Arkansas, Cleveland posted 177 kills and 160 digs.
“Kendall brings a lot of intensity to the team,” Kolbe said. “She is very vocal on the court and is someone that you can depend on.”
The players have been practicing for the last two weeks in preperation for the upcoming season.
“We have really come a long way in the last two weeks and we have a great team,” Kolbe said.
Coach Gray feels confident in her team.
“The last two weeks of preseason showed me that this group is more competitive and they are hungrier than ever,” Gray said. “They are more united as a team and are looking forward to this tournament.”
The Invitation will be held at the Bernard G. Johnson Coliseum on August 26-27. For more information and the scheduled starting times of each match visit gobearkats.com.
Volleyball ‘hungrier than ever’
Midfielder Tricia Mallory scored the go-ahead, game winning goal that gave the Bearkats women’s soccer team a 2-1 win over Houston Baptist University Sunday night at Pritchett stadium.
Mallory’s game winning score came in the 55th minute when she received a pass from midfielder Hillary Ackerman outside the box, which allowed Mallory to shoot it from 12 yards into the net.
“The goal gave us confidence to finish strong when we were ahead and we did not have to come back from behind,” Mallory said.
SHSU jumped out to an early lead when freshman forward Jessica Toms scored her first collegiate goal in the 34th minute. Forward Amanda Biega got the assist on the first goal when she headed the ball in front of Toms’ feet.
“Toms is a confident player,” head coach Tom Brown said. “She got the ball on frame and on goal and made a great finish.”
Houston Baptist would recover though and shortly tied it at 1-1 in the 40th minute.
Goalkeeper Michelle McCollough had three saves and got her first win as a starter.
“Michelle did amazing,”
Toms said. “She had a lot of hustle plays where she got to the ball first before the forwards did.”
The match was evenly played as SHSU had six cornerkicks and 10 shots, while Houston Baptist had five cornerkicks and 8 shots. There were no cards issued in the game.
The win on Sunday was the first of the season for the Kats, and brings their record to 1-1 on the season. Last Friday the team was shut out and lost, 3-0, in a road game against Baylor.
“I thought we did a much better job of trying to get a hold of the ball and play,” Brown said. “The team seemed loose and it was good to see. I am glad that we got the win.”
The Kats will travel to Tulsa, Okla. to play in the Tulsa Invitational this weekend. The first game will be on Friday against the University of Tulsa, and the second will be Sunday against Oral Roberts.

Soccer team starts 1-1By Cheval JohnSports Reporter
The Men’s basketball team was selected last week to participate in the annual College Basketball Experience (CBE) Classic that will take place in November, according to a statment released by the university.
SHSU is one of 12 teams that will be participating in the CBE. Joining the Bearkats will be Missouri, Notre Dame, Cal, Georgia, Austin Peay, Bowling Green, Detroit, George Washington, Mercer, Niagara and South Dakota State.
The Kats will open up tournament play on Nov. 16, against Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind. Afterwards, the team will travel to Macon, Ga. where they will play in a sub-regional tournament. During the sub-regional
tournament, the team will face Mercer on Monday, Nov. 21; South Dakota State on Tuesday, Nov. 22; and Niagara on Wednesday, Nov. 23.
The CBE will be a test for SHSU, as there will be eight new players joining the team.
“It’s something that’s good for the university,” head coach Jason Hooten said. “We’re going to try to do a good job in the fall in getting our guys prepared so that hopefully when the season starts we’re a little further along even though we have eight new guys.”
Hooten also stated that the team is looking to take advantage of playing in consecutive games, as it is different from the regular season. Even though the team will be competing in four games during the CBE, it will only count as one game.
“If you play in a multi
team event, you can play up to four games but it only counts as one on your schedule,” Hooten said. “You can either play in 27 games plus the multi team event, or you can just play 29 games period without a multi team event. So we are going to play 27 plus the event this year and next year. It works out better because it actually gives you instead of the 29 games, we are going to be playing 31 games.”
The Gazelle Group is the company in charge of organizing both the CBE and another tournament known as the Legends Classic. Though no official announcement has been made, SHSU will also be a sub-regional host for the Legends Classic in 2012.
Official practice for the basketball team doesn’t start until Oct. 12. However, starting next week, the coaching staff will work
eight hours a week with the players. During this time, players will go to the weight room three days a week for an hour a day, and then two days of the week, the coaching staff will practice four players at a time.
The season opener for the Bearkats will be on Saturday Nov. 12 when they compete against Howard Payne at Johnson Coliseum.
