It is with a bittersweet pang that I report my resignation as Editor-in-Chief on the Reveille staff. When I entered Schreiner University as a freshman, I knew that participat-ing in the newspaper would result in unpredictable experiences. Over the years those experiences have bloomed like a lotus blossom in a pool of blood, sweat, and tears—--the most accurate description I can invent for working in the news media. It has long been my dream to supply Schreiner with a reliable and up-to-date weekly campus publication. Although I know that we have not yet fully accomplished that goal, I do feel that we are a few steps ahead of where we were in years prior.

I would sincerely like to make this parting letter a happy one full of warmth and graciousness to those who made and will continue to make this newspaper possible, but I know what kind of work they are dedicating themselves to. I know how many late nights and stress-ful hours they are going to clock into an unpaying job, polishing print formats and trying to encour-

This semester, the Schreiner Uni-versity Music Department wel-comed the newest string ensemble to the stage: The Schreiner String Quartet. Unofficially begun in the spring of 2013 by Mr. Mark Nu-gent, class of 2015 and now ad-junct faculty.

The first quartet featured Sov-ereign Chadwick, ’15, on cello, Jenney Ruby, ’15, and Katie Bish-op, ’16, on violin; and Kristoffer McElhaney, ’16, on viola. This semester, the ensemble-class in-cludes junior Jackie Lacefield on cello, senior Katie Bishop on vio-lin, senior Dylan Hunt on string bass and classical guitar, and com-munity member Tammy Widener on viola (see photo on page 4).

Be curious and never accept seem-ingly true material at face-value. Do some “dirty work” and cross-reference opposing sources. Take the long way around research and make your arguments thorough and well-founded.

Have you ever taken a cruise down Main Street? Or perhaps slowed to stop while the light was yellow instead of rushing through the intersection?

During the past semester, I have taken a couple of days to simply

explore Kerrville and its hidden gems. From observing architecture to walking hidden paths, I have found countless nice places I did not expect to find in Kerrville.

I told a couple of my friends about the places. By the bank on Water Street, there is a nice pagoda with a wonderful view of the dam. Behind the public library, there is an awesome walking bridge across the river. On the exit to Bandera, there is a park where you can get into the river and swim, as well as picnic tables and places to wade in the water.

But no one seems to know about these places. Plenty of people write Kerrville off as a small town with nothing to do with little more than a mini mall (the “small,” as many

major or career path, this is a mindset crucial to the critical thinking skills used in every field. I don’t care if you apply what I’ve discussed to writing articles for the Reveille. What I’m asking for is self-awareness. What do you really know? What have you merely accepted as “the way things are” and done nothing to under-stand the “why?” If these skills in-spire you to write, go for it. Change the world, our campus; our hearts and minds one article at a time. But if it’s all you can do to open a few newspaper articles and fact check candidate information before going to the polls, at least it’s a step in the right direction.

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s been a pleasure. Thus, I depart with one final message: “So long and thanks for all the fish!”

All The Fish

call it) and a couple of parks and trails. But there is much to find, if we only take the time to explore.

More often than not, we think that traveling is expensive and takes time and planning, but this is not always the case. We can simply get in the car and drive down to a place we don’t know very well and look around. That was how I found the view for this picture of the dam.

Being here made me feel like I

was in a whole different place. It was well worth the time. And it did not cost me anything! Score one for the college student!

So this break, when you go home for the winter, take the time to ex-plore and travel your own home-town. I know I will start cruising around Fredericksburg more and more, looking for these hidden places to sketch and photograph. What will you do in your own town?

Today is payday. The day every-one waits for. I check my account to see how much fortune has come my way, but upon logging into my online bank, I notice something crucial—half of my money is miss-ing!

I look at my statements and see that my card has been used in a completely different state. How could this happen?

There is only one explanation: credit card fraud.

Credit card fraud not only hap-pens in the United States, but oc-curs frequently all over the world. Fraud can happen in many ways, whether it is online or someone counterfeiting the physical card (which most likely happened to me).

The United States unfortunately leads the pack with a whopping 47% of the world’s credit card frauds. Maybe this is from the lack of security we have compared to other countries (like how we just now are required to get chips in our cards to make them harder to

hack into), or maybe this is from credit card holders not being care-ful with their cards.

So, how does one go about being more careful and secure with one’s card and accounts? One impor-tant thing to remember is to check your accounts regularly—you never know when fraud will strike.

Also, people do not need your credit card number to steal your credit card. In order to protect yourself from events like this, you need to keep all information such as passports, social security cards, and birth certificates in a safe place and not in your purse or wallet.

Lastly, make sure that the places where you use your cards are safe and trustworthy. Do not fall vic-tim to the taxi drivers with built-in card swipes on their phones, or the ATM at the end of the street lit by a flickering street lamp. Stick to using your cards at places like an ATM inside a bank or on a trust-worthy site.

Even when using cards online, be careful and try to use a credit card rather than a debit card so that the money is not directly taken from you if your account is stolen.

Although there are plenty of oth-er ways to keep your money safe, these are some of the most impor-tant and easy ways to keep your-self and your bank account out of trouble. Remember these few pre-cautions and hopefully your bank account will not fall victim to the credit card fraud that can happen around every turn. Be safe and stay smart!

Food In Review: Classics

Hello to all Schreiner students and staff! It is good to be back writ-ing another edition of the “Food in Review” column. This month you, the students, chose to review Classics Burgers & Moore, located on 448 Sidney Baker Street here in Kerrville, Texas.

Well I said it once and I’ll say it again, I LOVE EATING and WRITING ABOUT food! This month’s assignment was no disap-pointment.

Classics opened up to the Hill Country in 2002. As soon as you walk in you are welcomed with a good’ol 50’s swinging vibe with pictures of Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, and Elvis Presley put up all over the walls.

I had the opportunity to check out what exactly goes into making a fresh hot greasy old fashioned style hamburger. Shane (the kitchen manager) invited me back to the grill to personally show me how my burger, fries, and (yes!) onion rings combo would be made.

It was all prepared fresh right in front of my eyes with fresh tomato, fresh onions, lettuce, and did I forget to mention BACON, BACON; BACON! (Pause for a moment to pick your jaw up off the floor) Shane explained to me that Classics offers “Good Food Fast.” I asked him, “What burger would you suggest to a Schreiner student or Schreiner

If anyone is looking for an action packed spy movie to watch, Spectre is the perfect film to see.

This is the final James Bond film for movie star, Daniel Craig.

Unlike the older James Bond movies, this movie is similar to the 2012 film, Skyfall, in the way that technology is becoming a scary re-ality alongside terrorism and chaos.

The storyline features an impend-ing worldwide surveillance system while a secret society silently plots to get in the way of justice.

James Bond has been convenient-ly removed from his duties in the field, but decides to figure things out on his own for the good of the world.

Like in any other James Bond movie, Agent 007 finds a lover, Léa Seydoux, along the way (the young-est thusfar), but the director kept their scenes tasteful and directed the movie more towards the action and mystery taking place.

Overall, this movie is highly rec-ommended to watch and is defi-

nitely award-worthy for one of this year’s best movies.

On the other hand, some of the movie’s downfalls seem to be that the movie can be somewhat slow towards the end, and the beginning of the movie featuring the Día de los Muertos in Mexico City (which happens to be shown on IMAX posters) leads into the rest of the movie, but seems to be lost and not looked back upon.

The movie seems to be lacking in gore for the most part, but there are some parts that might leave the viewer a little disgusted.

Action, adventure, and secrets are the things that keep this movie on a roll and leave the viewer wondering what is going to happen.

Although the movie is slow in some parts, the end is surely worth the anticipation.

So what is everyone waiting for? Spectre is in theaters now and is ready for action-loving viewers to enjoy the show.

facility member who is a first-timer to Classics?” Shane answered with a smile on his face, “Well, Edward, our Swiss-

mushroom burger is a popular one and so is our steak fingers but for today, Edward, I’m going to set you up with our double meat, double cheese, bacon-loaded Classics burger!” (Pause once again to pick your jaw back up.)

I sat down and relaxed. Sue (Classics’ head manager) grabbed a seat across from me and we got to chatting. Sue told me that Classics and Moore had been voted the best burgers in town for an astonishing 12 years in a row by the Kerrville Daily Times’ readers’ choice awards!

I wondered in anticipation if this burger was going to live up to all the hype. I had to find out for myself, and for once in my life I am speechless, not because I had nothing to say, but because this burger is amazing!

Samuel L. Jackson put the words best in Pulp Fiction, “Uumm humm this is a tasty burger!”

Is it greasy? – Checkmark yes!Is it juicy? – Checkmark yes!Is it hot? - Checkmark yes! Is it delicious? – Checkmark yes!Telling myself that I will be hitting the gym later for eating this food

– checkmark no.The great thing I got from this visit was not just the food or all the

cool 50’s memorabilia on the walls but the love that Classics has for its customers.

Good service + a great staff that has a love for what they do each and every day = great food and a great experience that makes you want to keep coming back to Classics every time you’re in the Hill Country. Overall, 4 out of 5 stars.

So, as we rap up this last “food in review” for the 2015 year, I want to personally thank each and every one of you, staff and students here at Schreiner University for allowing me to be a part of this amazing ex-perience that I have had this fall semester. It truly has been a privilege to go out and eat some local Hill Country favorites.

In the end I can’t pick a winner for who has the best food in Ker-rville; they are all amazing! Each is home to some really cool people who have great stories and even greater food, so enough talking and reading—go out there and make your own personal food experience stories!

In Theatres Now:

SU Theatre Prepares for Weekend of Acting

The Flag is Up Productions and the Schreiner University Theatre program is nearing the opening of their second production for the semester: Thornton Wilder’s The Skin of Our Teeth.

The play focuses on a family that experiences a variety of dif-ferent hardships such as the Ice Age, wooly mastodons, the Great Flood, and beauty pageants.

Though the first two acts seem to offer no sense of hope for the characters, the last act proposes a strong sense of optimism for the future.

Freshman Lillian Bales com-ments that “the characters in [the play] are basically family and friends that keeps going, no mat-ter what adversity they face.

All of the characters show in-credible resiliency throughout the show.” This play was originally performed in 1942, right before World War II began to devastate the United States, so the optimis-tic outlook that the play presents

in its final act was likely written this way in order to instill a sense of confidence that the war would end soon.

Today, this play will continue to leave the audience with a feeling of positivity as the curtain falls.

I wanted to discuss an article that was in the last issue. The article about the food service changes. There were some things reported errone-ously that I would like to address if someone has not already done so.

The article stated that Chartwells was the decision maker in the switch to Pepsi and that they had signed the contract with Pepsi.   This is ab-solutely untrue.  The contract with Pepsi is with Schreiner University, not with Chartwells. 

The university put the beverage contract out to bid over the sum-mer and Pepsi came back with a package that benefits the university on many levels.    Scholarship do-nations, vending services, an ad-vertising program including give-aways for the students and products and support for our athletic depart-ment.  Overall Pepsi is investing over $140,000 in the university

and our students over the next 5 years.   Schreiner made the decision to make the switch based on the belief that this agreement is the most beneficial to the student body overall.

I have to say that the article was very well written, however, the student did not have all of the facts straight.  We would hope that in the future that the research would be more thorough prior to publishing.

Letter to the Editor:Chartwells Correction

The average college student car-ries around a greater computational power than the technology used to put the first man on the moon.

While it’s easy to see the ad-vancements of personal technology in our own lives, the reflection of these advancements in other fields are not so obvious.

As we have been able to integrate tech like smart phones and 3D cameras into our lives, scientists have also developed advanced tools for space exploration.

Using these resources, new evi-dence from observing black holes has led many scientists to believe in a theory known as the White Hole.

First, what is a black hole? This is a galactic phenomenon caused by a star going supernova in the end of its cycle, when its own fuel runs out. The star collapses into itself, causing all the matter to compact, which in turn creates a singular-ity. The singularity (termed a black hole) has a strong gravitational force resembling a vacuum which even light cannot escape.

As the black hole is created from the death of a star, a white hole ris-es from the end of the energy cycle of the black hole.

Different theories surround ex-actly how the white hole is formed.

After observing black holes over the years, Stephen Hawking has concluded that a black hole’s event horizon should emit radia-tion, which in turn causes it to lose energy and shrink until it eventu-ally disappears. Through quantum

theory, the information that a black hole has taken in can be released once more. This occurrence is known as a white hole, the asymmetrical counter-part of a black hole, releasing matter from its center instead of sucking it in.

Another theory follows the law of conservation of mass. After the black hole has consumed all the matter it can, it spurts it all back out and the singularity converts its gravitational pull into a collapse, leaving matter floating in space, with a force in the opposite direction of the black hole’s original direction. Matter cannot be collected and destroyed, so this would follow the rule.

There is also a worm hole explana-tion. As black holes are formed and destroyed by their own gravitational pull. they form points of distance. These points are portals in which the mass travels, and are called Einstein-Rosen bridges. The black hole, which constantly pulls matter in its vacuum force, would send the matter to exit in a white hole, located billions of light years away.

Thanks to physicists and scien-tists who have dedicated their lives to these galactic studies, we can now have a better understanding of what our universe’s forces are.

Now, as you observe the star-ridden night sky, think about the lives and work of centuries of astronomists.

With this knowledge, one day we might be able to break that final fron-tier, riding through the pull of a white hole.

Spacial SpeculationsBy Daisy Del Bosquez, Staff Writer

Diagram depicting the theory behind the existance of white holes, which in this instance exist as the exit for matter that enters a black hole. Some believe that if this theory prove to be true, space travel between galaxies can be reduced from thousands of light years to only a few hours, even seconds. Other even use this theory to sup-port the idea of time travel into the future or past, hence the “old” universe and “new” universe.

By Mikaela Sebastyn“I am the Alpha and the Omega.

The one who is and who was and who is to come.”-Revelation 22:13

Catholic Schreiner students were reunited on the evening of October 27 to meet and discuss College Life, a program hosted by Notre Dame Catholic Church’s youth ministry that allows teens and young adults to reflect on how to live through their faith in today’s world.

So far, they have covered in-depth topics such as purpose and direction in their lives. These discussions had been very reflective and eye opening as the students discover more about who they are as children of God.

They also brainstormed other ideas to keep the group active, such as community service projects, Mass on campus, and praise and worship sessions.

Now they are getting ready for an even greater event—an intercolle-giate retreat to El Shaddai Ranch in Yorktown, Texas, just outside of San Antonio.

The purpose of the retreat is to al-low college students to deepen their relationship with the Lord and each other through prayer, praise and worship, sharing, personal reflec-

tion, Mass, Adoration, and Recon-ciliation.

On Friday afternoon, November 20, Catholic students from other universities such as St. Mary’s Uni-versity and Trinity University will meet with Schreiner students at UTSA to board a bus as a group to the ranch and return on Sunday, No-vember 22. All students are asked to not to bring electronic devices in or-der to encourage them to enjoy the outdoors and focus on the retreat.

“Last year’s retreat was wonderful,” said sophomore Martin Olivares, Peer Ministry leader at Trull Hall. “We had a small group of students go but everyone who went had an amazing time. The friends we made there were incredible and welcom-ing and I stay in contact with many of them to this day!

“This year we have a slightly larger group going and the trip is father away from Schreiner than last year’s, but because of the enthusiasm of this year’s Catholic student group I’m looking forward to all of us getting to know each other better, as well as the friends and memories the new-comers will make on the retreat.”

CALENDAR

That time of year has rolled around again—basketball season. Are any Mountaineers out there ready for some action?

For those who did not show up to Maroon Madness, they missed out. This was a great chance to see the talent that has made its way into Schreiner University, and this was also a chance to get to meet the players.

Many of the players have talked about how excited they are for the new season and how they plan to work smarter and harder to ac-complish their goals this year.

On Saturday, November 14th, the men’s varsity basketball team had their first game against Har-din-Simmons University.

Although they barely lost, any spectator could see all the hard work and determination surging on the court.

The team shows improvement from last year, so this should be an interesting season to follow. Also, do not forget to watch the Junior Varsity men’s basketball team. These men are the future Varsity players for Schreiner University

and they deserve all the support they can get.

As for the women’s team, their first game was not at home and they unfortunately faced defeat in Abilene and Dallas.

The teams they played against were some of the hardest teams to play against, so there is still hope for this season.

A sophomore on the women’s team, Danielle Cain, explained that the team is stronger than any year before, and a bright season is definitely ahead of them.

Looking at the teams, improvement is shining through the season’s rosters, and the teams are ready for an awesome season.

If the end of the semester studying and finals are getting in the way, there is always an op-portunity to see the teams play next semester because they will still be in season. This is not a season anyone will want to miss, so make sure to come out to all the games you can!
