Mr. Michael Martin, professor of communications and market-ing and director of graphics, was announced as the 2013 recipient of ASU’s third annual Chancel-lor’s Colonel Rowan Award for Ex-cellence in Execution on Tuesday morning, Feb. 26.

The Rowan Award signifies that the recipient is able to complete tasks efficiently and on time. The name of the award comes from the story “A Message to Garcia” by El-bert Hubbard. The story illustrates

Col. Andrew Rowan dedication when he was faced with delivering an urgent letter to General Calixto Garcia, leader of an insurgent force against the Spanish in 1899 Cuba. Rowan delivered the note success-fully and capably.

That same precision and prepa-ration is what ASU has declared Martin to exhibit. One of three candidates for the award, Martin was nominated by his office direc-tor, Preston Lewis.

Martin said he was surprised with the news.

“Coming to work and doing the job is what it’s all about, and it’s very gratifying when that work is noticed,” said Martin.

Crystal Braden, chair staff of the senate, says that Martin has been operating his duties in seamless fashion for years.

“The normal everyday duties and efficiencies are what’s impor-tant,” said Braden. “Since ASU un-derwent some changes recently, the way of doing things changed, and he went along with it. It takes quite a bit to do that.”

Candidates for the Rowan Award must demonstrate the following skills and abilities: 1) accomplish an objective quickly and efficiently with minimal oversight; 2) accept clearly communicated assignments with minimal instructions; 3) ask the right questions first, so they can seek precise answers; 4) pre-pare plans with goals, milestones and deadlines; 5) ask for resources or help when needed; 6) report back and show their work; and 7) under-promise and over-deliver.

This was Martin’s first nomina-tion for the Rowan Award.

The Department of Political Science and Philosophy is offering an intern-ship opportunity in Washington D.C. for political science majors and minors.

Applications for the program will be accepted in the Political Science and Philosophy Department through Fri-day, March 8.

To be eligible for the internship pro-gram, undergraduate students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0, must have completed a minimum of 60 semester hours before the semes-ter they wish to participate, and must be a political science major or minor.

The internship will be offered for the fall 2013 semester, and the recipient will work full-time in the office of a U.S. representative or senator.

The student will also receive an $8,000 scholarship and will stay in Texas Tech University’s “Tech House,” located two blocks for the Capital dur-ing the duration of the semester.

The scholarship will cover housing costs, and the remaining amount can be used to offset living expenses.

Department Chair Dr. Jack Barbour said this will be the first time the uni-versity has offered the program.

“It is the first time that we are able to offer a scholarship like this to a stu-dent,” Barbour said. “Previously, stu-dents would have to go back and find their own housing, but now they will have a bed there in the Tech house, and it will be paid for by the scholarship.”

According to Barbour, President of ASU Dr. Brian May was very instru-mental in bringing the program to frui-tion and that he is the one who brought it all together.

May said he requested one slot for one semester each year in the “Tech House” from Texas Tech’s system office, and they agreed to give the spot in the house to help get the program started.

“Since political science is the closest major related to the internship, I want-ed them to work up an application and interview process, and they did,” May said. “Hopefully if there is enough de-mand by the students, we can continue to grow the program over time.”

Barbour said they will make the se-lection this spring. The student will at-tend orientation sessions at Texas Tech to help prepare them for the guidelines and responsibilities expected of them while in D.C.

Barbour said the internship is an op-portunity for political science majors and minors to really learn how politics work.

“[Students] will get to see how [the system] passes laws, develops bud-gets, and works through the committee and party systems and how legislation works,” May said. “This program shows the elected officials in Washington that our university is trying to give our students as much experience and ex-posure as possible to [our diplomatic system].”

Barbour said he would like to send multiple students in the spring and fall semesters once the program picks up.

“I would like to have the program grow enough for us to be able to send ten or fifteen students a year,” May said.

Director of the Houston Police Department (HPD) Crime Lab Irma Rios gave her lecture, “The Real Life Crime Scene Investigation (CSI),”on Friday, Feb. 22 at the University Center.

Rios used real-life police cases to explain the pro-cesses and various ways of testing evidence and how the findings are used in the courtroom. She also

spoke about her career path to becoming a crime lab director.

“I want people to take away from my presenta-tions that it is not CSI-the Hollywood version,” Rios said. “These [cases] are the real things we see and it is highly scrutinized.”

Rios has 28 years of experience in forensic crime labs and has been Director of the HPD Crime Lab since 2003.

She currently oversees the Biology/DNA/Trace, Controlled Substances, Toxicology, and Firearms Programs with the HPD.

“It is not glamorous, but I’m passionate about my job and it is nice to see people interested in what we do and who may want to join this career field,” Rios said.

Sophomore Ruben Garza said the lecture was very informative and fun to watch.

“I liked how she showed real cases and how they tested evidence,” Garza said.

Rios also met with Howard College students, San Angelo Independent School District seniors, and with Texas Leadership Charter Academy high school students the same day.

ASU’s Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) Office and the Career Development Office sponsored Rios’ visit as part of the HSI Speaker Series, which brings speakers to campus to discuss a wide range of topics pertaining to the goals of the university’s HSI grants from the U.S. Department of Education.

ASU’s search for the new hous-ing department head is coming to a close as three finalists are selected among the list of candidates. Mr. Peter Rivera, Mr. Andrew John-son and Mrs. Tracy Baker are the remaining applicants that will be considered for the position—near the end of this week, the job will be filled and the selected candidate will be revealed.

Bradley Petty, director of stu-dent affairs and university recre-ation, acknowledges that the job will have several qualifications.

“Whoever is selected as the new director will need a lot of experi-ence,” Petty says. “Budgeting expe-rience is necessary, as well as facili-ty maintenance, programming and construction supervision.”

The job requires not only experi-ence in these technical fields, but

in several others as well.“The director will oversee opera-

tions with the RA’s and will need to work collaboratively with other department heads of the school,” Petty says.

Paul Hamilton of ASU’s housing and residential programs agrees that the candidate who best exhib-its these qualities will be chosen for the position.

“They will work closely with the resident advisors and will try to implement any changes that the RA’s want to see,” Hamilton has said. “Supervision of the residence halls is an important aspect of this position.”

Resident advisors too weigh in on the search for the new director, and what it will mean for ASU.

Jacob Ebanks, RA for Centen-nial Hall, implies that there is al-ways room for improvement. “Ev-erything is pretty much great,” he says, “but I wish there were more RA’s like there used to be. Other than that, I think it’s all good right now, but a new director does mean change, so we’ll see what happens with that.”

“With any supervisor position, especially the Director of Hous-ing, you have to know what every-one in your department does,” says Alyssa Lewis, senior RA. “We need someone who will walk around our buildings, attend our programs, be visible to each individual staff on campus, and someone who cares about our entire department as a whole, as well as smaller groups such as individual staffs.”

Ashley Martin says, “I would like to see our department as a whole make more use of being collabora-tive with the entire campus. I be-lieve collaboration between every department on campus, whether it is Residential Programs, UCPC, Academic departments, or Athlet-ics, will make our university as a whole a more inviting university. I believe the more collaboration there is, the more school pride and retention will occur all across cam-pus.”

Of the three candidates, Tracy Baker is the only internal applicant for the job. Baker is currently the assistant director of operations.

The Angelo State Phys-ical Therapy Association will host the Superhero Dash on Saturday, March 2, to benefit children and adults with physical and cognitive disabilities through the AMBUCS foundation.

“San Angelo recently started a chapter of the AMBUCS organization named the Concho Val-ley AMBUCS,” President of the ASPTA Courtney Snow said. “Currently the chapter consists of 15 members, including local physical therapists, stu-dent physical therapists, and community mem-bers.”

The races will include a fun run, a single lap of approximately 1.5 miles, and, for those racers

searching for a challenge, a 5K.

“Having the two dis-tances is a great way to get children involved and anyone who might feel like the 5K is too far for them,” Snow said. “The CVA is also planning to have an obstacle course at the race for AmTryke riders and other able-bodied children.”

The ASPTA came up with the idea of asking participants to dress up like superheroes for the race.

“The patients them-selves are superheroes to us by enduring so much and still striving to be more independent de-spite their disabilities,” Snow said. “There will be awards for race times and best costume in the form of a superhero gift basket.

AMBUCS makes spe-cialty tricycles called an AmTrykes that are specif-ically made for disabled people.

“A few other students and myself became in-volved with the AMBUCS organization in May of 2012 after attending a seminar on fitting pa-tients for therapeutic tri-cycles,” board and charter member of the Concho Valley AMBUCS Megan Hadley said. “We were very moved by the AM-BUCS organization and philosophy of empower-ing those with mobility impairments, and thus decided to join with sev-eral physical therapists and other community members in the Concho Valley area and begin our very own chapter here in San Angelo.”

Five children from the Concho Valley area are currently on the waiting list for an AmTryke with many more individu-als waiting. Therapists and community mem-bers have purchased tri-cycles for local patients on the wish list and are currently seeking fund-

ing through community events to purchase more tricycles.

“Physical therapists may recommend and fit a patient for an AmTryke,” Snow said. “If they can-not afford to purchase one on their own, they may be added to a wish list. They are designed to improve strength and motor skills for the rider. They also help to improve the patient’s self-esteem.”

“The race will start near the eagle statue by the Jefferson crosswalk and will finish in front of the UC. At least 75 people have already signed up for the race,” Snow said.

If you would like to be in the race you can sign up on the day of the race with a donation of $15. All proceeds from the event will go to the Concho Valley chapter of AM-BUCS to help put more AmTryke tricycles in the hands of those with dis-abilities.

Community sets to dash for disability

People often tell me I tend to “geek out” when it comes to music, whether it is at a concert, on my iPod, or marching with the Ram Band. I have a tendency to listen to a song and think, “Wait a minute that sounds like...” and find scary similarities between two songs that have no relation between them. One similarity that I particularly amusing is the guitar line from the song “Cry Lonely” by Cross Cana-

dian Ragweed sounds nearly iden-tical to the introduction of “Two Tickets to Paradise” by Eddie Mon-ey. I’m sure that I’m not the only one that sees these similarities, but I saw a video recently that asked a very interesting question: will we ever run out of “new” music?

As anyone who pays attention to music will realize that you regularly hear similar sounds, whether it be the drum beat, guitar style, or that odd, computer-generated noise people affectionately call “wub.” Certain sounds are naturally ap-pealing, such as the sound of rain. Just as some sounds are appealing, some are naturally unsavory to the ears, such as fingernails on a chalk-board.

People hear these sounds and styles in songs because artists build their songs “in the style of” other artists. A classmate told me that people said they heard similarities between “Locked out of Heaven” by Bruno Mars and “Roxanne” by The Police. Upon doing some re-search, MTV interviewed Bruno and he said, “I grew up listening to The Police, I grew up perform-ing in bars, singing Police songs... I remember performing a song like

‘Roxanne,’ and you watch the whole bar ignite.”

When an artist stumbles upon a sound that makes the crowd “ig-nite,” other artists will imitate it. I think a great example of this is the sudden comeback of the accordion in popular music. Some people would only associate the accordion with old-school polkas, closely fol-lowed with tuba and lederhosen, but with songs like “Stereo Love” by Edward Maya, it becomes a popular hit.

So what does all of this add up to?

People will always cling to sounds that are naturally pleasing, which seems to change in phases. Whether you hear these similari-ties or notice the music trends, it all comes around at one time or an-other. Will we ever run out of mu-sic? I don’t think so. As soon as you think it will, something new will come out. The only thing we don’t know is plain and simple: what will end up being the next “wub?” Mu-sic is an ever-changing field with new and exciting things every day, but some things will never change. If it does change, it will make its way back around in due time.

“My experience has been good, it has been great to get help from the professors to find the classes I need to graduate on time.”

“Getting advising from my professor really helped me to

organize my schedule.”

“I’ve been advised 3 times. They are really

helpful.”

“As a senior I don’t really need help choosing my classes. I think advising shouldn’t be mandatory

for seniors.”

“I’d rather get advised by a senior

because of the expe-rience they have in taking the classes.”

Oh, Lord. She is going to shoot herself in the foot and hate America, and it will be all my fault…

My roommate Woonyoung, a foreign exchange student from Seoul, South Ko-rea, stood in front of me with a .22 rifle in hand. My dad hovered over her, talk-ing in a calm, relaxed voice that comes with teaching gun safety for over 40 years. Woonyoung hung on to my dad’s every word and looked at the gun in her hands as if it were a stick of dynamite. All I could do was chew on my finger-nails and take pictures.

My dad calmly explained how to look through the sights and how to cock the gun. He walked her through the mechanics of how guns work using expanding gas and gunpowder. With a nod, he told her to let it rip. I put my fingers in my ears.

This is it. Something will surely go wrong and she will surely hate America now.

After 30 seconds that seemed like a lifetime, I heard the distinct POP of a .22, followed by Woonyoung’s shriek. She apparently did not know what my dad meant by “recoiling.”

Did it scare her? Is she having fun? Will she want to shoot the gun again? Is she judging us quietly? Does she hate America?

“That was so fun!” she said. Her eyes were bright and her laugh was genuine. Relieved, I laughed with her and told her to try again, this time without jump-ing.

Woonyoung had several other firsts during that weekend, including “cub-ing” the cows, throwing a football, and drinking a famous Rollie’s cherry lime-ade. Shooting the .22 was probably the most memorable moment of our trip, although, to my brother and me, it was just another afternoon spent with my dad. He really knows how to leave an impression.

The weekend was like a production.

It was similar to a low-budget western movie with no bad guy, no plot and no John Wayne. Instead, we pointed out oddities on the side of the road, ex-plained how farmers like my grandpar-ents make their money, and took her through the back roads every chance we could. We told her how we survive being 30 minutes away from a Walmart and from a hospital – something I never considered a big deal until I moved to San Angelo and could go to HEB any time I pleased.

In one weekend, my family tried our best to give Woonyoung the ultimate small-town American experience. It was the least we could do, since she has spent almost two semesters giving me the ultimate Korean experience.

It has been such an adventure. I have eaten large, nerfgun dart-shaped rice cakes, seaweed pa-per, and pancakes that would make IHOP go out of business. I have Skyped with Woony-oung’s parents at 1 in the morn-ing. I have learned how to spell my name and how to say hello in Korean. (Don’t ask me how to say anything else, though.) Overall, I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything in the world.

Since that weekend, I have stopped worrying about wheth-er or not Woonyoung hates

America. After she emptied the clip on the gun (she was a natural) and we went back inside the house, she thanked my dad and me for the new experience. I liked her style of thinking. No matter what she faced here during her stay, she treated it as an adventure. I real-ized then that adjusting to the college life would be easier if I just thought like Woonyoung and treated everything like an adventure.

To anyone out there who currently has a Korean roommate or has a Korean classmate, I urge you to take part in your own college adventure and get to know them. The opportunity to learn a new culture and share your own culture with someone with someone from across the globe is too exciting of an adventure to pass up.

The roller coaster year of ASU’s basketball teams have had their shares of up and down over the 2012-2013 season.

For the men, this carnival will end next week against University of the Incarnate Word because their 6-19 record will not be enough to give them a slot at the Lone Star Conference tournament this year.

The Rams are 10th in conference standings with a 3-14 conference record, and only the top eight are fea-tured in the conference tournament.

The Rams have won five of their seven home games, so they will be playing for pride and a home win to fin-ish off the season on a high note.

The ‘Belles, however, have a 13-12 overall record and a 10-9 conference record, which is good enough to qualify for the tournament.

In a season that celebrated Sally Brooks’ 400th ca-reer win as D-II college coach, the ‘Belles have had al-most a 50-50 season up to this point.

The ‘Belles will be the sixth seed in the Lone Star Conference Tournament regardless of what happens next week due to the fact that no team is within a game of surpassing or falling below ASU in the standings.

The Lone Star Conference Tournament will be held in Allen, Texas, from Mar. 6-9, and the winner will go on to the NCAA D-II Regionals Tournament.

This will be the last home game for seniors Anto-nio Dye and Morgan Youngblood, who will be remem-

bered for their contributions to the team during half-time.

The last time ASU faced Incarnate Word was in San Antonio on Jan. 19, and ASU lost both games.

The ‘Belles lost 52-60, and the Rams lost 83-100 re-spectively in those games.

The University of the Incarnate Word is currently seeded fourth in both women’s and men’s basketball.

The regular season finale for ASU is on Saturday, Mar. 2, at 5:30 p.m. for the ‘Belles and 7:30 p.m. for the Rams.

Rams split series against CSU-Pueblo

Stephen CoganStaff Writer

Both teams look forward to Senior day on March 2

The Rams are 10-5 after splitting a pair of double-headers in Pueblo, Colorado, against the Colorado State University-Pueblo ThunderWolves this past weekend.

The Rams were originally supposed to have one game on Friday and one Saturday, leading to a double-header on Sunday.

However, due to a snow delay, the Friday game was postponed and moved to Saturday to make a second doubleheader.

The Rams said they don’t believe the delay adversely affected the way they played.

“It didn’t affect us,” senior Quaid McKinnon said. “I think it was kind of funny to have a snow delay. We’re never going to have that here.”

Senior Ryan Greer said the Rams have to be pre-pared for anything that’s thrown at them, and that includes weather.

“I just think we played OK,” McKinnon said. “I think we could’ve played a lot better. One game we pitched well and one game we hit, but we didn’t play good de-fense or pitch well.”

The Rams won Saturday’s first game 7-5 in a battle of swinging bats as the two teams combined for 21 hits.

Junior shortstop Christian Summers showcased his talents by going three for four and earning three RBIs off a bases-clearing double.

The second game was a pitcher’s duel for five in-nings with the Rams up 1-0 after an RBI single by se-nior Lee Neumann in the first.

The Rams’ catcher Andrew LaCombe increased the lead to 2-0 with a sacrifice fly to right field that scored Greer from third.

The ThunderWolves bounced back and despite five previous shutout innings, senior Michael Weatherly could not stop Colorado’s bats, and was lit up for three earned runs off five consecutive hits before being re-lieved by senior Austin Church.

Church gave up three more runs (one charged to

Weatherly) before getting out of the inning with the Rams down 6-2.

The Rams scored three more runs, but couldn’t complete the comeback and lost 6-5.

On Sunday, the Rams won the first game of the doubleheader 2-0 by riding the arm of junior pitcher Bryce Zak.

The former Central High School Bobcat won Lone Star Conference Pitcher of the Week by pitching eight innings of two-hit, shutout ball while striking out two and forcing 12 ground balls.

“Bryce is a hell of a pitcher,” Greer said. “He earned his spot in the rotation and is a big part of our team right now.”

First baseman McKinnon had a perfect view of each

pitch that Zak threw and said it was awesome to watch.“He’s been throwing well all year long and it was

just a matter of time for him to have a game like that,” McKinnon said. “He was unhittable.”

Junior Reggie Rodriguez batted in two runs off of a double in the seventh that gave the Rams all the of-fense they would need in order to win.

The ThunderWolves then evened the series by win-ning the final game 3-2 after coming back from a 2-1 deficit in the bottom of the eighth inning.

The Rams will play Bellarmine University for the first time ever on Monday, Mar. 4, at Foster Field at 6:30 p.m. and the only thing that Head Coach Kevin Brooks said he knows about them is that they are from Kentucky and are 3-1 so far this season.
