Lady Buffs soccer celebrates a winning weekendMeLissa Bauer-herZoGsTaff wriTer

The Lady Buffs soccer team had an interesting schedule this weekend with both a home and away game to keep them on their toes. But even send-ing them to New Mexico for the second game of the weekend couldn’t stop the team from winning.

After a 3-1 victory against South-

western Oklahoma State University on Friday at home, the Lady Buffs did it again on Sunday. This time, they were in Las Vegas, New Mexico playing against New Mexico Highlands University and came home with a 1-0 victory.

The lone goal of the game came with less than 10 minutes left in the game when WTAMU’s Berklee Watson took an unassisted shot nearly 40 yards from

the net at the 80:57 mark, surprising the goalkeeper.

The Lady Buffs outshot the New Mexico Highlands Cowgirls 17 to 13 in the game and had seven corner kicks to the Cowgirls’ two. The hard fought win against NMHU helped to bring the team, which includes some new faces, closer together on the field.

College day at the Tri-State FairRYAN SCHAAPStAff WRiteR

The Amarillo Tri-State Exposition will be host-ing the 88th Annual Tri-State Fair from Sept. 16-22. Sept. 22 will be College Night, where students can get free admission with their college IDs. Events on this day will include a live concert, a magic show, and the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) rodeo.

“It’s a real fun event for concerts, games, rides, and animals that college students would find interesting,” Virgil Bartlett, manager of the Tri-State Fair, said. “ We have one of the best food courts in the nation and it’s good chance to make memories to bring back home.”

Angela Ragland, sponsorship and marketing direc-tor of the Tri-State Fair, said she is excited for this year’s PRCA rodeo.

“The pro rodeo will be competing for the finals in Vegas,” said Ragland, “We were voted in the top five out of 119 in the medium size category which is a pretty big deal. The top five contenders were selected by the contestants contract personnel.”

There will also be live music by Hotel California, an Eagles tribute band. Jonny Maciel, a senior Agricul-tural Education major, said he enjoys the music at the Tri-State fair.

“My favorite part of the fair is the live music,” said Maciel. “I’m looking forward to having a good time with my friends.”

College Night will also feature the “Thank A Farmer” magic show, which teaches audiences about agriculture with a twist of entertainment. Joyce Rice who has been featured on the “Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” will be presenting the show.

WT commemorates 10th anniversary of Sept. 11

WT’s Student Government and KWTS joined together to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on Sunday.

KWTS’ General Manager Tyler Sweeney said that on Sept. 11, 1971, the radio station went on air for the first time. On the day of the attacks, the station did not know if they should celebrate the station’s birthday or not. However, they decided to keep with the tradition.

“Not celebrating history is what the terrorists wanted,” Sweeney said. “But, to not celebrate those who died Sept. 11 will be unfair.”

Therefore, the radio station decided to plant what is today known as the “Freedom Tree”, located out-side of the JBK. Every year, the station ties ribbons on the leaves of the tree to commemorate Sept. 11.

This year, KWTS joined the Student Government for the commemoration.

“Student Government asked if we had a plan

with the freedom tree,” Sweeney said. “They men-tioned making a curbing.”

As part of this year’s memorial, a curbing was made on the “Freedom Tree” with a plaque to ac-company it.

As part of the event, butterflies were released as a symbolic act.

“[The butterflies] are a symbol of peace, beauty

and hope for a bright future as a strong country,” Miranda Knippers, student senate public relations committee chair, said.

The event also featured a short speech by Dr. Ste-phen Severn, director of writing programs. He reminded students that Sept. 11 was also a normal day at some level.

“It reminds me that you have to be vigilant,” he said.

Severn also reminded students that as a country, the United States has some problems that citizens need to be aware of. However, he said that there is the opportunity of freedom not found in many other countries in the world.

“We need to give thanks and commit to make sure every average day is better than the day before,” Severn said.

An average of 80 people attended the event. For Frederick Williams, a WT student and veteran of the army, the memorial was solemn and was an opportunity for the WT campus to come together and remember what each was doing ten years ago.

“I was in Saudi Arabia getting ready to take a military mission,” Williams said. “I had been there for two weeks.”

Knippers said the event was significant for her as an American citizen.

“We [Americans] are a family unit and part of my American family was devastated that day.”

Applications are open for serving on judicial boardKRYSTINA MARTINEZASSISTANT EDITOR

Student Government will have applications open for students inter-ested in serving on the judicial board. The judicial board is responsible for hearing a wide variety of cases assigned by WT, ranging from dorm violations and disorderly conduct to Panhellenic and Interfraternity Coun-cil issues.

There are six positions available, and students selected will serve under Student Chief Justice Audra Thurman.

“People see the bad side of us with fees and tuition, but we do good [as well]. We are very involved with Homecoming and we also put on the freshmen and graduate student elec-

tions,” said Thurman.Serving as an associate justice is a

good resume-builder, and is especially useful for those interested in political science or law, although any major is welcome to apply. Thurman said she understands students who aren’t plan-ning on going into a career in politics or law may not want to be involved with Student Government.

“[Our reputation] is not quite what it should be,” said Thurman. “There is room for improvement. We’re here to represent the students, and I want to do it better.”

Applications are available in JBK 102. The deadline will be on Sept. 14, and interviews will be conducted on Sept. 15.

WT continues construction throughout campusLISA HELLIERSTAff WRITER

As the fall 2011 semester begins, construction continues on WT campus grounds. Renovating and build-ing new structures are at the forefront of WT’s agenda to lead the University toward a quickly growing future.

WT has construc-tion plans that are at various stages of devel-opment from ideas to full completion.

Two major projects underway are Cen-tennial Hall and the expansion of the Jack B. Kelley Student Center. Another project in development is a new athletic center.

In order to create space for more stu-dents, WT commissioned the estimated $32.5 million towards building Centen-nial Hall. Although Centennial Hall was slated to open for the fall 2011 semester, setbacks occurred, and the date has been pushed back to Nov. 1. There was a six-

week delay with the steel for the build-ing. Since then, other aspects of the proj-ect have gone smoothly, which allowed things to move along fairly quickly.

“We are real pleased with where we are with Centennial (considering the setback),” Jon Behrens, senior director of residential living, said.

Upon completion, Centennial Hall will be one of the most upgrad-ed yet pricier residential halls on cam-pus. In fact, a double room in this Hall is

rated at $2,550 per semester

while other dorms rate from $1,850 to $1,500 per semester. It is co-ed by floor and the double occupancy rooms include features such as: moveable furniture, individual room temperature controls, large windows and a sink with vanity. The building’s amenities include wire-less access, three TV gaming lounges, multiple study lounges, a multi-purpose

room and a formal lobby.As of now, the students residing in

Centennial Hall are assigned three to a room until the rest of the rooms are completed. Due to the inconvenience, students will be reimbursed almost eight dollars per every day spent in a tripled room.

“I understand the inconvenience and wish [Centennial] had been 100 percent,” Behrens said.

All students were informed by let-ter about the delayed completion and three-person room situation. The resi-dential assistants have ensured that all students get their fair share of the space in the room in order to avoid as many problems as possible.

According to Behrens, complaints were limited and parents and students have handled the situation well. Those who were unhappy with the setup were transferred into another residential hall.

“The construction work can be noisy and frustrating,” Priscilla Red, a fresh-man Biology major, said. Red said the situation is being handled well and everyone has been polite about the whole ordeal.

Centennial Hall is not the only con-struction project at WT this semester. The JBK Student Center is in the initial stages of construction for an expansion that will create more work and lounge space for the growing number of WT students.

The funding behind the estimated $10.9 million JBK expansion came from a $5 student fee increase implemented in fall 2010 after passing in a student referendum.

“I only mind [fees for projects] if it doesn’t benefit us [students],” Star Ghill, a freshman Biology and Pre-Med major, said.

Included in the expansion will be a new first floor and basement which will include: a lobby/common area, office space, information center, catering kitchen, meeting rooms, student lounge and a multi-purpose room capable of holding 500 people ban-quet-style.

The JBK is a 43 year-old building that has not seen major reconstruction since its switch from an administra-

tion building to the Student Center in 1988. The plan was approved by the Texas A&M University System Board of Regents, and Western Builders has been designated as the general contractor for the project. The completion of the expansion is estimated for the fall of 2012. The JBK will continue to remain open throughout the construction process. Construction on campus can be considered inconvenient and distract-ing, so the University does not want the construction to be a continuous imposi-tion for students.

“Being the Student Center, it is im-portant that we meet the needs of the students,” Chance Haugen, JBK Student Center manager, said.

According to WT’s website, students can also look forward to a $4 million, 31,000 square foot athletic center. The project was recently assured after long-time WT supporters Ray and Barbara Bain donated the lead gift, initiating the start of the project. Along with other private donors, the Bain family was able to raise 50 percent of funds needed for the project.

The athletic center is still in the pre-construction stage but has the design has been mapped out. Included in the athletic center will be a strength and conditioning center, an athletic train-ing and hydrotherapy center, academic success and team meeting rooms, a champion atrium and a welcome center.

With enrollment increasing every year, construction is a major step in leading the University towards a grow-ing future.

The No. 21 ranked WTAMU Lady Buff volleyball team hosted the Lady Buff Invitational on Sept. 9 and 10 at The Box. WT completed sweeps of Wayland Bap-tist, Incarnate Word, Valdosta State and Texas A&M-Kingsville. After sweeping all four matches, the Lady Buffs improved to 9-0 overall, and 3-0 in LSC play, extending their conference win streak to 86 in a row.

WT opened the weekend by sweeping the Wayland Baptist Pioneers. The Lady Buffs won by scores of 25-22, 25-15 and 25-14. The Pioneers scored first in every set, but WT was able to quickly rebound and take the lead.

“I didn’t see a sense of urgency. We’re too one-

dimensional. When you’re one-dimensional, you have a higher chance of getting knocked out of the playoffs early,” said Coach Jason Skoch.

The nightcap pitted WT against the University

of Incarnate Word Cardinals. The Lady Buffs picked up another sweep with scores of 25-19, 25-10 and 25-13. The Lady Buffs played their most complete game of the season and got better as the match went along.

“We just got used to the way they played and adapted,” said redshirt junior Lacy Hayes.

The Lady Buffs started day two by defeating the Valdosta State Blazers. WT got their third sweep of the weekend with scores of 25-12, 25-19 and 25-8. The Lady Buffs jumped out to a quick win in the first set, fell behind early in the second set and dominated set three.

“We got happy, we were able to re-engage and win set three,” said Coach Skoch.

The Lady Buffs completed the weekend sweep by beating the Javelinas of Texas A&M-Kingsville. WT posted scores of 25-13, 25-12 and 25-12 to acquaint the new look Javelinas with the mystique of Lady Buff volleyball. WT extended their LSC win streak to 86, and improved on their best start since 1999 with a 9-0 record.

“Our passes are coming together and we’re communicating a lot better. We still have a lot of improving left to do but it’s gotten a lot better since the first game we played,” midfielder Morgan Kviz said. While the two win weekend was a definite highlight, another highlight may be the The Lady Buffs’ win total for the season, which sits at 3-1. With a good start, the team is optimistic about the rest of the season. “I’m really excited about the rest of the season. I’m looking forward to playing more games and tougher competition and hopefully coming out with more wins,” defender Julia Grief said. The Lady Buffs play tonight, Sept. 13 in Portales, NM against Eastern New Mexico University before taking on Texas A & M University- Commerce on the road Friday.

iWeek's second year prompts student involvement

Involvement Week, or iWeek, is a four-day exhibi-tion of student services and involvement opportuni-ties. It made its debut last fall and was so successful that it is back for a second year.

“We were very pleased with iWeek last year,” Skip Chisum, director of student activities, said. “We were so pleased that we didn’t change anything.”

Up until last fall, Chisum said student fairs were held on various days in the first few weeks of the fall semester. But with iWeek, all student fairs are held in the same week during the third week of the semester.

“Now it all happens at once and it’s all in the same place,” Chisum said. “It’s a one-stop shop.”

Eppie Wyckoff, assistant to the vice president for student affairs, feels that iWeek helps students by taking out the guesswork because there are no longer multiple dates to remember.

“It’s a good compromise to have it during the third week,” Wyckoff said. “By this time, students are settled into their classes and they know what they have time for.”

Many opportunities will be presented to students. iSuceeed, the student success fair, kicked off iWeek on Monday.

“iSucceed is focused on resources for students,” Am-ber Black, manager of the Student Success Center, said.

Some of these resources include tutoring services, career services and counseling services.

“These resources are covered by student service fees and we want to make sure students take advan-tage of them,” Black said.

Today, Sept. 13, iBelong, the campus life fair, will be held at the Pedestrian Mall. iBelong is showcasing all campus organizations and activities.

On Wednesday, representatives from campus ser-vice organizations as well as charitable organizations from Amarillo and Canyon will be at the volunteer fair called iCare, which will take place in the JBK commons.

Students can learn more about faith-based organi-zations on Thursday at the faith fair, iBelieve.

“There’s something for everyone and students enjoy their college experience so much more when they’re involved,” Black said.

Wyckoff said she’d like to see all students come to iWeek and make themselves aware of the opportuni-ties that are available to them.

“We hope that iWeek

affirms the choice students made to come to WT and that it sends the message that we’re all a family,” Chisum said.

iWeek will take place everyday until Thursday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Free food and door prizes will be given away and students can swipe their Buff Gold for a chance to win a $500 Best Buy gift card.

Greek Life offers unique opportunities for studentsDANIE FIERROStAFF WRItER

WT’s fraternities and sororities are in the process of recruiting new faces to join their organiza-tions. Greek Life offers a variety of opportunities for students during their college experience.

Interfraternity Council President Miguel Sosa said the best advice he has for students is to join an organi-zation.

“I like having a group of friends that I can lean on. They’re there for me during my highs and my lows,” Sosa said.

Sosa has been involved with Alpha Tau Omega for four years. He said his involvement with ATO has helped him develop leadership skills, a strong network with alumni, and has encouraged him to participate in community service activities.

Matt Maples, associate director of student activities,

said that being in Greek life is about building some-thing that can last for the rest of your life.

“The commitment that you begin as an under-graduate doesn’t ever end,” Maples said. “And after you graduate, it changes. As alumni, you are encour-aged to still participate and carry on the values of that organization. It’s a good opportunity to build lifelong relationships.”

Being involved in Greek life also requires members to participate in community service. Maples said last year Greek Life gave over $20,000 to the WT campus. Two wishes were also granted for the Make-A-Wish foundation and money was raised for the Susan G. Komen’s Breast Cancer Awareness. Ronald McDonald House is also a big beneficiary.

“I think one of the interesting things to me and what I love about [Greek Life] is that they give in a very high level,” Maples said. “What we know nationally is that if you are a member of [Greek Life], your likelihood of giving is higher than if you are not.”

Maples said that another benefits of joining a frater-nity or sorority is the emphasis on academics.

“Generally, fraternities require a minimum grade point average of 2.3 and sororities are typically around 2.5,” he said. “This last spring, our Greek GPA was higher than the men and women’s average.”

Sororities and fraternities also have study hall hours where brothers and sisters can get together to study for classes.

“I know some of my brothers are always at the HELC at the same time,” Sosa said. “A lot of us are al-ways in the same classes so we look for each other for help and come up with certain little ways.”

Sosa said it is important for students to get involved on campus even if it is not through Greek Life.

“It doesn’t really matter what organization you join,” he said. “I think the main part is where you can find a group of people that you can hang out with and can have fun with because it really does enhance your college experience here.”

Since 2005, WTAMU has been raising money for the Agriculture Department through a live auction. The money collected during the auction went straight back to the department for the recruitment of new students.

Last year, WT raised $35,000, which brought in 631 students, the most students the

Agriculture Department has ever seen. “This is our largest turnout ever,” Associate

Professor Lance Kieth said. “There were just a handful of people in 2005 and it keeps getting bigger. We have gotten a lot of donations from great people and the money goes back to the students through scholarships.”

Supporters of the agriculture program come from all areas of the community.

“The ADA [Agriculture Development Association] is a big supporter of WT and WT Ag,” said Liz Moore, who teaches Horticulture and freshman seminar. “They are our biggest fans.”

Alumni, professors, and students enjoyed food provided by local sponsors while they put bids down on a silent auction. Items in the silent auction included prizes that range from trailer grills to cow hides to belt buckles.

“I had a flower arrangement in the auction,” Moore said. “It’s fun to watch people bid on items, plus the money raised is for a good cause.”

300 people showed for the live auction as the fast talking auctioneer sold WT merchandise.

“[Auctioneer] Ty Cranmer graduated from the Agriculture Department,” said Kieth. “He knows the people and keeps [Ag Day] exciting.”

Although Cranmer and the live action is a big draw for Ag Day, the bigger purpose of supporting students is what keeps the community coming back for more.

“I think there are a lot of people looking out for the students and want to raise the money for future students,” WT alumnae Natalie Baker said.

Education students get a course in professionalismASHLEY HENDRICKStaff Writer

A Teaching Methods Orientation took place at WTAMU on Sept. 9 to help prepare Education students for the real world of professional teaching outside the classroom.

Approximately a hundred students crammed together inside room 433 of the Classroom Center to get a taste of what the professional world is like out-side the walls of WT.

“This orientation is helping [the students] get launched into that field service, that actual clinical practice,” Dr. Cartwright, John O’Brien Distinguished Chair in Education, said.

Guest speakers and professors alike discussed the expectations of students inside and outside the classroom during student teaching.

“If [the students] come out of a family or culture that hasn’t done a lot of con-nection or understanding, [or if] nobody

in their family has been a teacher, we want to make sure they really know what’s to be expected,” Cartwright said.

During the orientation, students were given a crash course in many different aspects of professionalism, including what to wear. To help the students dress for success, models from EDPD 4340 paraded prope dresses, suits, and shoes to wear in the classroom. Buff Boutique, a clothing closet filled with donated clothes and accessories suitable for in-terviews, also offered its services to the Education students attending.

“They’re not students anymore so no inappropriate dress. Not too low, not too short, not too tight, just professionalism,” Cartwright said.

A panel of professionals from Ama-rillo Independent School District, known as the “toast panel” for their “If You Don’t Know This, You’re Toast” perspective, also shared their knowledge and expe-riences with the students. Donna Hill, instructional technology teacher of Tas-cosa Cluster, discussed the relationship

between teachers and technology. “Because of social networking things

have changed a lot, you have to keep your personal life and professional life separate,” Hill said.

It’s no secret that college students have a tendency to be late for classes every once in a while. However, Dr. Amy Andersen, department head of Educa-tion, stressed the unprofessionalism of such a habit as part of being a profes-sional teacher.

“If your kids expect you at ten, then you better be there at ten,” Andersen said.

Besides fashion shows and toasts, the orientation also taught students how to write a proper resume. Slides projected the “do and don’ts” of resume writing and tricks students could use to make their resumes stand out.

Education major Lyndie Thrall at-tended the orientation last semester and said the resume lecture was the part she remembered the most.

“I think that’s a really good idea to

help teaching students get their resumes ready and submitted on Buff Jobs by a certain time so they can try to help us get as many jobs as possible once we gradu-ate,” said Thrall.

Though the orientation was designed to help students ease the stress and confusion of facing the professional world, anxiety still lingers among some students. However, for Education major Ruth-Ann Day, this anxiety only pushed her to have more faith in what she’s learning.

“You have to be confident in what the university is teaching you,” said Day.

At the end of the two-hour orienta-tion, students possessed a plethora of information guides, applications, and resume checklists. They also took with them a new understanding of what it means to be a professional teacher and what it will take to reach that point.

“I think it really spells everything out and they can really plan their whole semester around all the activities that they’re going to have,” said Andersen.
