Dear all,
I would like to edit the navigation menu bar on the left (change font size, colors etc), since it doesn't look like the way I saw it on the live preview (http://themes.umbrella.al/?theme=nordic). Now it appears as a list with blue color, appearance that has nothing to do with the original one presented on the live preview. On the Appearance>Editor, it seems that there isn't any navigation menu script to edit. Neither the css code appears in the Stylesheet.css. I also disabled all the plugins in case there is a conflict with your theme, but no luck. Furthermore, in the Header.php I changed the 'theme_location' to 'Nordic', but again no luck. The version of Wordpress I have now is 3.9.1.
Could you please inform me on how to edit the navigation menu bar? All in all, I would like to have the theme that appears on your live preview.
Thank you for your time and interest.
Best, Mislav

Dimitrov Sails Into Third Round; Joins Fellow Finals Contender Ferrer
New York, U.S.A.
by ATP Staff|
Seventh seed Grigor Dimitrov booked his spot in the US Open third round on Friday after a resounding 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 victory over Dudi Sela in 89 minutes on Armstrong Stadium.
Dimitrov improved to a 40-12 record in a career-best season that includes three ATP World Tour titles. The 23-year-old Bulgarian had arrived in New York City last week without a match win in three appearances at the US Open. In hitting 28 winners, including six aces, and winning 21 of his 29 net points, Dimitrov goes on to challenge David Goffin.
Goffin, who lifted his first ATP World Tour title at Kitzbühel (d. Thiem) earlier this month, upset No. 32 seed Joao Sousa 6-4, 6-2, 6-0 for his 13th tour-level match win of the year.

Fourth seed David Ferrer advanced without hitting a ball when his opponent, wild card Bernard Tomic, withdrew ahead of their match due to a hip injury. Ferrer reached the semi-finals in 2007 and 2012 (l. to Djokovic both times).
"I was sick for the past 10 days," said Tomic. "It was difficult having the flu, but my hip's a little bit not in [good] shape. I'm feeling it inside."
Ferrer has a 5-1 FedEx ATP Head2Head record (1-1 on hard courts) against No. 26 seed Gilles Simon, his next opponent, who defeated Federico Delbonis 6-4, 3-6, 7-5, 6-1.
Ferrer and Dimitrov will both be looking to further improve their chances of qualifying for the season-ending Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London, from 9-16 November, with a big run at the final Grand Slam championship of 2014.
Ferrer started the week at No. 5 in the Emirates ATP Race To London with 3,445 points. The 2007 runner-up will be attempting to clinch a spot for the sixth time. Dimitrov, at No. 7 with 3,155 points, aims for his first qualification.

SCENE Magazine Summer 2012
The magazine of Schreiner University
MAGAZINE OF SCHREINER UNIVERSITY SUMMER 2012 fromthepresident " No, Schreiner University is no longer a best-kept secret, and that change is reflective of broad and continuous dedication to quality." Dear friends of Schreiner, A description of Schreiner we used to hear was "the best kept secret in college education." Even when I recognized truth in the phrase, it bothered me, conjuring up lines from Thomas Gray's famous "Elegy": Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air. Those lines evoke a powerful melancholy over the waste of human talent and genius, but they are poison for a university that has much to offer the world. Happily, we do not hear the expression much anymore and for good reason--Schreiner University is simply not a secret. Oh, we have a long way to go in establishing name recognition to the degree we seek, but we are not a "mute, inglorious Milton" unknown beyond our borders, fortunately. What has made the difference? We can credit no single factor, but certainly the decision made nine years ago by our board of trustees to embark on aggressive media promotion and to ask the administration to make integrated marketing a continuing part of operations has contributed greatly. When we learned in this spring's annual survey of media impact that recognition of the Schreiner name in our marketing area had moved to 81 percent, we had tangible evidence of that impact. In addition, the success of our creative media as measured by Emmy and CASE awards for excellence makes the same point. Ditto the consistent awards received by Schreiner publications, particularly by SCENE magazine itself. But, of course, our primary marketing area is limited to the Hill Country and greater San Antonio, so other influences must be sought. We can start with our students. Consistently, 30 percent and more of our graduates proceed to graduate or professional school, where they are establishing a compelling record. Whether they are studying medicine, law or the hospitality industry, their success enhances Schreiner's reputation. And their accomplishments here as undergraduates have the same effect. Roy Espinosa's excellence in research award at this year's Southwest Regional American Chemical Society conference and Caitlyn Weinheimer's national success in trap shooting (very nearly claiming a place on the Olympic team) illustrate the varied ways in which student achievement strengthens our name. You can appreciate that point when you read in this issue about the accomplishments of those students who provided leadership for the national Better Together program. Similarly, Schreiner faculty enhance the university's reputation. Recent Piper Professors Dr. Fred Stevens and Dr. Kathleen Hudson are examples. Competitive national grants secured by Dr. Adam Feltz in philosophy and our chemistry faculty for laboratories offer other evidence. Via Texas Public Radio, the work of faculty and students in our history department, led by Dr. John Huddleston, is regularly heard through vignettes tracking the course of the Civil War 150 years ago. When our BSN program, developed by Dr. Lena Rippstein, was approved two years ago and praised by the state board for its quality and when faculty from other Texas colleges came in May to our campus to participate in a workshop based on our freshman seminar's "Reacting to the Past" curriculum, the strength and creativity of Schreiner academics registered. Unquestionably, our expanding and attractive physical facilities are part of this good story as well. And administrative leadership plays its part, as when provost Dr. Charlie McCormick recently led in developing a new five-college consortium for online language study. Increasingly, key senior administrators are called upon to share their expertise in national settings, from SACS visits to seminar leadership and officer roles with professional organizations. Their writings for publications also spread the Schreiner name. A college's commitment to quality finds many expressions, collectively establishing a stronger reputation. Those summarized above illustrate that the change is neither an accident nor the sudden product of one or two accomplishments. No, Schreiner University is no longer a best-kept secret, and that change is reflective of broad and continuous dedication to quality.

The building was the hill Country Museum for several years, and is still open to the public several days a week.

Please help Su honor Those Lost in War Do you know of a Schreiner former student who lost his life in World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War or the more recent conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq? If so, please call Mark Tuschak, vice president for advancement and public affairs, at 830-792-7215 or e-mail him at email@example.com. In the next few months, Schreiner will erect a new memorial wall in a park-like setting in front of the Floyd & Kathleen Cailloux Campus Activity Center. With a design guided by James Avery, the stately limestone wall will be part of the newly developed area where the old swimming pool used to be. "The Commons" includes spaces for relaxation, reflection and quiet conversation--amidst shade canopies, xeric plantings, benches and winding paths. It is Schreiner's intent to honor the memories of each student lost in one of these wars. The old plaques on the exterior wall of the dining room will be removed. The names of 108 men have been collected so far, including nine lost in Vietnam. Please do not assume we know of your friends, neighbors or classmates. Please write or call us with as much detail as you can supply. 4 Summer 2012 SCENE Best CaSe Scenario Hoon Hall, home to the Office of Advancement and Public Affairs, was full of hootin' and hollerin' after the announcement of this year's CASE awards. Two graphic designers oncampus in University Relations took gold at the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education conference in Fort Worth: Jake Roa for his poster "Exploring the Texas Hill Country" and Stephanie Keller for SCENE magazine in the 4-color throughout category. It was the third CASE award for SCENE in the past four years including two gold awards, one a Grand Gold for the fall 2008 issue. This was Roa's first CASE awards submission. And to really top it off, Schreiner's television ads "Forerunners," "Longing" and "Brave Souls," developed for Schreiner's Marketing Office by advertising agency Briscoe Hall with Electro-Fish Media, swept their category, winning gold, silver and bronze. See the TV ad series at www. schreiner.edu/about/marketing.html. "I have the opportunity to view many college publications, and I stack up the work of our University Relations staff with those of any I see," said Dr. Tim Summerlin, president of Schreiner. "Of course, I may be biased--but when I see the accolades from CASE, I suspect that I am just recognizing the quality work done consistently by our staff."

Earlier this year, Schreiner instituted a campuswide recycling program in partnership with Greenstar Recycling in San Antonio, with an official kickoff during Recall weekend in April. The push to get a recycling program was student-generated and student volunteers, as well as Schreiner's environment management staff, have kept it going. Since the program began, the university has kept 11.69 tons of paper, almost half a ton of plastic and .351 tons of tin and aluminum out of the landfill, benefitting not only the environment but also Schreiner's bottom line. The environmental numbers are equally impressive. according to Dale Myers, director of environment management, we have saved 198.7385 trees 47,931.05 kilowatt hours of energy 81,833.50 gallons of water 38.5785 cubic yards of landfill space and 701.43 pounds of air pollution. ThMf Celebrates Silver Jubilee This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Texas Heritage Music Foundation, founded and directed by Dr. Kathleen Hudson, Schreiner English professor, and located on the Schreiner University campus since 2004. Over the years, the foundation has sponsored after-school, hospice and at-risk youth programs and established the Wayne Kennemer scholarship fund for music students. The foundation was also executive producer of a 10-part radio documentary series, "Whole Lotta Shakin'," that received the 2007 George Foster Peabody Award for Excellence in Electronic Media. For 25 years, THMF has introduced the best in Texas music through the free monthly Texas Music Coffeehouse series at the University, the annual Texas Heritage Music Day (formerly Texas Heritage Living History Day), which the foundation co-sponsors with Schreiner's Center for Innovative Learning. This year's Music Day will, in fact, be two days, Friday and Saturday, September 28 and 29. The Friday event, "Another Way of Learning Using Stories and Songs," will be free and open to the public and feature more than 50 performers and presenters located throughout the grounds surrounding the Robbins Lewis Pavilion on the Schreiner campus. Among the exhibits and presenters will be Aztec dancers, chuck wagons, Native American exhibits and stories, Texas Rangers museum, Texas Folklore Society and Texas singers and songwriters, and, as always, a tribute to Jimmy Rodgers. Saturday will be devoted to a songwriting workshop with Terri Hendrix and Lloyd Maines--father of Dixie Chicks lead vocalist Natalie Maines. Space is limited for this workshop and reservations are required. There will be a $95 fee that includes lunch, a book by Hendrix and a special evening performance. Call 830-792-1945 for information and reservations. elmore Whitehurst award Braden Barnett '12, of Ft. Worth, received the Elmore Whitehurst Award for Excellence in Learning. Dr. Charlie McCormick presented the award to Barnett, who graduated cum laude with a major in biology, at the May 12 commencement ceremony. The Hatton W. Sumners Foundation established the annual Whitehurst Award for a student graduating with a bachelor's degree who wants to continue on to graduate school in his or her field. It carries with it a scholarship from the foundation. 6 Summer 2012 SCENE oncampus Volunteer Spotlight Growing up on Campus By LOuISe KOhL Leahy Cathy Carden Henry has ties to Schreiner that go back nearly to her birth. Adopted by Robert and Mary Carden, she moved into Hoon Hall when she was 14 days old, the building where she is now a volunteer for Schreiner's Office of Advancement & Public Affairs. "My parents came to Schreiner in 1940 sight unseen," Henry said. "All the job correspondence was done by mail. At that time, Kerrville had a reputation for being a good place for people with lung problems--which my dad had." The Lone Star State was a considerable shock for the couple, as they hailed from Kentucky. "It must have been a dry year," Henry said. "My mother told me that during the trip she kept asking my dad, `How can people make a living in this place?' and crying. When she saw her first rattlesnake, she was ready to head right back to Kentucky." However, they stayed on, to Schreiner's great benefit. Robert Carden, taught zoology and biology here for 32 years, known to students in the early days as "Bicycle Bob." That was in the war years, when people needed to conserve gasoline. His daughter has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of Schreiner history during that time. Henry said that her parents were in their late 30s when they started the adoption process, at a time when 40 was the cutoff age for adopting parents. "My mother told me that Mrs. Scott Schreiner wrote the adoption agency a letter that said, `Give this couple a child.' She always said that without Mrs. Schreiner, they would never have been able to adopt me." The boys in Hoon chipped in and bought a $25 U.S. Savings Bond for the infant Carden. "I cashed it in when I bought my first car," she said. "I thought the boys would approve of that." Growing up on campus, Henry remembers faculty, staff and students as just neighbors. "Living here was a lot like living on a military base," she said. "We'd wake up and go to bed to bugles blowing. Sunday afternoons in the spring, we all came out for the parades on the parade grounds. It's so strange. Now I walk around campus and the buildings are named after our old neighbors." As a teenager, she was an object of envy to her classmates at Tivy High School. Apparently, there was an unwritten law at that time that the young ladies could date either Tivy boys or Schreiner boys. Henry was an exception since she lived at Schreiner and attended Tivy. "My town friends were jealous that I had 300 boys for neighbors," she said, laughing. Henry went on to marry a Schreiner boy, Roy Henry '64. Her first classroom experience at Schreiner was a typing class she took when she was in the 7th grade. She eventually went on to do her freshman year of college and a summer session here--more than 30 college hours altogether. Although she also attended The University of Texas and Texas Tech, "my loyalties are really to Schreiner," she said. She graduated from Texas Tech with a B.A. in history and government. Henry spent most of her career working for King Ranch, starting as the personal secretary of John Armstrong, a King Ranch family member and company executive--and the nephew of Mrs. Scott Schreiner. During the 31 years she worked there, she worked in the records department and was in charge of the visitor management department. The visitor wrangling job came, she said, because "I was familiar with the whole kit and caboodle; I knew a little about everything on the ranch." After retiring, it was barely a month before she returned to Kerrville. Her daughter and her family were here and she had kept up with friends in the area. "A few months later I made my way to Schreiner, stuck my nose into what used to be the president's house, which is called Alumni House now," Henry said. "It had a sign on the door that said `In Process of Moving.' So I waited and checked out the Advancement folks in Hoon and decided I would like to work for them." One visible and welcome result of her volunteer work was the idea for a reception during Recall for people who had grown up on the campus-- the children of former Schreiner faculty and staff. That event is two years old now, and draws a large and lively crowd. She also searches records for former students and updates the department's database. "I feel like I owe Schreiner so much," Henry said. "My dad was so happy here and my mother could spot a homesick student just like that and ask them in where they could use our phone to call home in privacy. So many of us who grew up on campus say it was an idyllic experience. It was safe, the faculty and families were friends--it was like a 1950s sitcom." www.schreiner.edu Summer 2012 7 faculty Spotlight Dr. Jeannette Cockroft By LOuISe KOhL Leahy Photo above: english students at Suzhou university, China. Dr. Jeannette Cockroft grew up in central Maine, in what she called "the poor part of the state," adding, "I couldn't wait to get out of there. I couldn't understand why everyone didn't want to get away." Cockroft, an associate professor of history and political science at Schreiner, arrived at her present position by way of a prelaw major and a passionate interest in Chinese history and culture. She spent her first three college years at the University of Maine in Orono on the pre-law track, majoring in political science and history and working as a paralegal for student legal aid. "There were at least six student paralegals, one lawyer and one adult paralegal in the office," Cockroft said. "One of the biggest issues our students had was the Columbia Record Club--trying to get out of their commitment to buy more records after getting the first five free. I had to hold my tongue to keep from saying, `You've got to be kidding; buy the records!' I realized I didn't have the temperament to be a lawyer and I didn't want to spend my life like that." Somewhere in there, she took a Chinese history class. "I became fascinated with Chinese history," Cockroft said. "It's so different from American and European history. So, after three years and deciding not to go to law school, I decided I needed to study the Chinese language." There were no classes in Chinese at the University of Maine, so she went to the University of Pennsylvania. After two years there, she graduated cum laude with a bachelor's degree in Chinese language (Mandarin) and culture. "I started to work on an M.A. in Chinese language at the University of Kansas," Cockroft said. "About one and a half years in, my advisor died. The Kansas economy was really bad in the early '80s and a lot of Asian Studies professors were leaving for the University of Washington [Seattle], so I switched to political science." She went on to earn a Ph.D. in history from Texas A&M. Her dissertation research focused on Margaret Chase Smith, the first woman to serve in both houses of the U.S. Congress, and the development of Chase's career from the 1920s to the 1950s. "Margaret Chase Smith grew up in my hometown in Maine," Cockroft said. "She graduated from the same high school I did and my uncle was on her staff." After receiving her doctorate, Cockroft went to China for a year and taught English as a Second Language at Suzhou University in Jiangsu, People's Republic of China, about an hour west of Shanghai. She started teaching at Schreiner in 2002. "I really like teaching and helping students develop," she said. "The students here are amazing: warm, generous, sweet. They make teaching the coolest job. Ever." 8 Summer 2012 SCENE facultynews faculty awards Dr. Charlie McCormick, Schreiner University provost and vice president for academic affairs, announced the University's annual faculty awards at a recognition banquet on April 28. Five Schreiner professors were honored. Dr. Danette Vines, associate professor of chemistry, received the Margaret hosler award for excellence in teaching. Students nominate their professors for this award on the basis of a professor's teaching ability and whether he or she creates a lasting impression on students. Dr. Vines has also received the 2011 elmore Whitehurst award for Creative Teaching. "honestly, receiving the Margaret hosler award is the best thing that has happened to me both as a scientist and professor," Vines said. "I love my students and I challenge them to think big. and now receiving this award has made me realize that they appreciate my efforts and that in their own way, they love me, too. Despite the grueling tests, despite the lab experiments gone awry and despite the long hours of study, the students care and see the impact in scholarship. I can't thank them enough. I am humbled and honored to be chosen for this prestigious award." Dr. Mary Grace Antony, assistant professor of communication studies, is the 2012 advisor of the year, chosen by Dr. McCormick and the Schreiner deans. "I am very grateful for this award," anthony said. "I would like to thank the faculty affairs Committee, my dean and especially my students and advisees for this wonderful honor. It is a privilege to work with them." James Harris, visiting assistant professor of visual arts, was the recipient of the 2012 elmore Whitehurst award for Creative Teaching. Dr. McCormick and a group of public school teachers choose the recipient for the Whitehurst Teaching award, which The hatton W. Sumners foundation funds. The award comes with a $2,000 stipend to be used for a university teaching project. "Of all the faculty awards, the Whitehurst award for Creative Teaching is the one I am most honored to win," harris said. The award for excellence in research, Scholarship and Creative activity went to Dr. Chris Distel, assistant professor of biology. "This award was a surprise as there is a sizable, and growing, pool of excellent scholars within Schreiner's faculty," Distel said. "I am humbled and honored to be recognized from among them. It's great to see an increase in research-based learning for our students." Amanda Thomson, adjunct instructor of mathematics, received the Outstanding Part-Time faculty award. Thomson is also a Learning Support Services specialist. "I feel very honored to have the opportunity to work among such an extraordinary group of people," said Thomson. "We have a truly remarkable faculty and staff who serve an outstanding student body. I am very blessed to be a part of this university." www.schreiner.edu Summer 2012 9 10 Summer 2012 SCENE "When forces of intolerance emerged in the past, young people led the forces of inclusion. The rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was 26 when he organized the Montgomery Bus Boycott, and Gandhi was even younger when he began working for peace in India. ... What if people of all faiths and traditions worked together to promote the common good for all? What if once again, young people led the way?" (from the Interfaith youth Core website at www.ifyc.org/about-movement) n March 2011, believing that American colleges, community colleges and universities have often been at the forefront of solving our nation's greatest challenges, President Obama issued The President's Interfaith and Community Service Campus Challenge to more than 6,000 colleges and universities across the country to make the vision for interfaith cooperation and community service a reality. Schreiner bettertogether I University is one of the 270 schools to answer the call to participate in this inaugural year, and one of only six colleges and universities in Texas to participate in the Campus Challenge. Nationally, the Campus Challenge falls under the Department of Education and the White House Office of FaithBased and Neighborhood Partnerships. Since his inauguration, President Obama has emphasized interfaith cooperation and community service--"interfaith service" for short--as an important way to build understanding among different communities and contribute to the common good. Schreiner chose to participate in the President's Challenge in the 2011-12 academic year to build on the interfaith and community service work already begun through the University's Better Together program sponsored by the Interfaith Youth Core. (See page 13.) "It really was about being at the right place at the right time for SU to be in at the beginning of a national initiative about interfaith cooperation and community service," said the Rev. Gini Norris-Lane, Schreiner's campus minister. "Through a grant from the Presbyterian Church (USA), SU students Kelsey Moore '12, senior Katie Debinski and I were able to be among 500 participants chosen to attend the Interfaith Youth Core's Interfaith Leadership Institute at Georgetown University in 2010. There, we learned to organize the Better Together interfaith cooperation and service program that was implemented in spring 2011. "The Better Together campaign and President's Challenge was important to me for the same reasons it was important for SU and will continue to be far into the future," said Moore, who coordinated this year's efforts. "It creates leadership rooted in a person's beliefs, builds community with others no matter how different their beliefs may be and that strong community is able to serve others and make a difference in the world." www.schreiner.edu Summer 2012 11 2 1 The Schreiner group's original goal was to reach 2,011 services hours in spring 2011. In all, 2,500 service hours were chalked up to Better Together, worked by students from various denominational groups, fraternities, sororities and anyone at all who wanted to help others. Among the community service projects were CSI Kerr County, a work trip to Denver to help at a Denver Urban Ministries food bank and CROP walk. Out of the group of colleges and universities trained in Georgetown at the ILI, Schreiner was one of 92 whose program was successful and Norris-Lane and students Genevieve Monroe, Brianna Benzinger and Brandon Cruz were asked to attend the next ILI training event to pass along what they learned at the Interfaith Leadership Institute at Dominican University in June 2011. "It was only natural after the first year's success to participate in the President's Challenge and Better Together for the 2011-2012 academic year and join the Better Together student interfaith cooperation campaign with larger initiatives across campus and in the community," Norris-Lane said. "This year, we focused on education and poverty. We were also intentional in creating opportunities for conversation among students and between students and the community about different faith perspectives. The assumption is that if you are Christian you are all the same, you all believe the same things. We found out that's not true at all. We learned more about each other because our service and engagement were intentional. We wanted to hear each other's stories and learn about how our service activities were part of larger efforts to help our community." When a Schreiner student's uncle lost everything in the Bastrop wildfire, students went to help almost immediately, with a group representing four denominations returning over spring break to help with the recovery in that area. "We've come to understand that it takes so much more than good intentions to really make an impact," Norris-Lane said. "The Bastrop wildfire was to Bastrop County what Katrina was to New Orleans. If through our participation in the President's Challenge and Better Together we can give students the skills needed to organize and address larger community issues, then we will have succeeded in creating a new generation of leaders ready to work with diverse groups to implement solutions to the problems that plague their communities." Norris-Lane and students also hosted interfaith worship services for September 11 and Thanksgiving, collaborated with Kerrville Area Interfaith Peace Dialogue Association and professors to host a panel of community leaders on the International Day of Peace on September 21, as well as an informational forum and discussion on Sharia Law, a body of law based on Islam and its central religious text, the Quran, in October. This spring, more than 60 students were involved in World Vision's 30 Hour Famine to raise money and awareness about hunger, CROP walk and the annual "This I Believe" series (inspired by an NPR series of the same name), in which faculty, staff and students from a wide variety of perspectives share their stories. This is in addition to the 65 students who mentored each week in local schools--work in which Elizabeth Loggie, associate director of volunteer programs, collaborated with 12 Summer 2012 SCENE bettertogether In the Beginning 3 5 Photos: 1.

An American Muslim of Indian heritage, Eboo Patel founded the Interfaith Youth Core armed with little more than a desire to serve the poor and a doctorate in the sociology of religion from Oxford University, which he attended as a Rhodes Scholar. he spent some time looking at already existing service and nonprofit organizations, and was particularly impressed with his experiences at Catholic Worker houses, which Dorothy Day started in the Great Depression to help feed, clothe and shelter people. Patel got the idea for the Interfaith youth Core at a national interfaith conference when he noticed how few young people were there. To help harness all that youthful energy for the common good, he founded the IfyC in 2002 with a grant from the ford foundation and one person on staff. according to the IfyC website (www.ifyc.org/aboutus), the organization currently has an annual operating budget of $4 million "and enough staff to field several kickball teams." They have partnered with the Tony Blair faith foundation and the Clinton Global Initiative, and Patel is a member of President Obama's inaugural advisory Council on faith-Based neighborhood Partnerships. IfyC provides interfaith leadership training, including that for the Better Together movement and the President's Challenge. They work all over the world to help communities and college and universities come together across faith lines and divisions to provide stronger support and help to the needy in their areas. 4 Schreiner Campus Ministry. Loggie, Campus Ministry and Partners in Ministry hosted a Recognition Party for all mentors in Kerr County. This partnership led to a lecture series, Mentoring Mondays, held at Schreiner to enrich mentors with a lunch-andlearn program. Dr. Kyle Busing, assistant professor of exercise science, facilitated two of the three lectures. In addition to the mentoring, Schreiner University coordinated with the St. Vincent de Paul Society, the San Antonio Food Bank's Mobile Food Pantry and Peterson Middle School Leadership Group to host four food giveaways, handing out approximately 20 tons of food to community members in need. "Through mentoring and the food giveaways, our students, faculty and staff have fostered a sense of hope in our community, by giving a hand up," said Loggie. "It has truly enriched our campus to embrace servant leadership." The students who participated in the program seem to have received as much as they gave. "Participating in Better Together helped me continue my own spiritual journey while also getting to share it with others and hear theirs as well," said SU senior Marshall Brown, who was on the Better Together steering committee this year and who will co-lead with junior Derek Draper next year. Draper added, "As the world keeps growing in numbers, we need to stand strong together to support others and reach out to help. As long as there is someone in need, Better Together will be essential." Next year, SU students will again participate in the Better Together interfaith campaign, with the university making plans to send a small delegation of staff and faculty to Howard University in Washington, DC in July to share their experience with the President's Challenge and prepare for a second year. Of particular interest to Norris-Lane and to leaders in the Department of Education is how to combine the particular strengths and interests of our whole Schreiner community-- faculty, staff and students--to address community issues in Kerrville and the surrounding area not only now, but for years to come. "We've come to understand that people working across faith lines will have a bigger impact on a community," Norris-Lane said. www.schreiner.edu Summer 2012 13 hot reads Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, "O Day of days when we can read!" for most of us, especially for people who work at schools and universities, that day is most likely to fall in June or July. The past year's classes have wound down, next year's haven't started up and somewhere in there will be a slow day or two to kick back and have a leisurely read. The SCene staff is always looking for good reads, so we asked Su faculty and staff to share their favorite books and authors. We got an eclectic and interesting list with something for everyone. "I have just begun a book that Bill Muse, vice president for administration and finance suggested to me, `Passion on the Vine,' the memoir of an Italian American who became a leading wine merchant and in the process was able to explore the culture of the Italy he left as a boy and his own family as well.

By LOuISe KOhL Leahy L ike many local residents, Dallas native Bill Thomas retired to the Hill Country to take it easy. That's not exactly how things turned out, however--not by a long shot--and Schreiner can take a lot of the credit for that. "I came to the Hill Country to sit on my porch in my rocking chair and totally retire," he said, "but it didn't work out quite that way." Thomas has been the volunteer coach of the very successful Schreiner Shooting Sports Society, student competitive trap and skeet shooters, since the group started in 2005. However, he and his wife Blythe started their relationship with Schreiner through the classroom. "One of our neighbors, Roseanne Keller, told us she was going to teach at Schreiner as an adjunct," he said. "So we took her class in the history of Christianity as senior auditors." Thomas has also audited classes with Dr. Cole Starr, associate professor of religion and philosophy, and Dr. Ron Hatchett, the since-retired director of global studies at Schreiner. "It only took me about 50 years to learn the best way to go to college," Thomas said, referring to Schreiner's senior audit program. "This way, you can go to class when you want to, you don't have to take the test or write the paper and you still get a world-class education." Thomas's family moved to University Park when it was a suburb of Dallas and lived in "the next to the last house in the city." He remembers fields where North Park is now in which boys could shoot squirrels and rabbits with shotguns and .22s. "I know how to shoot rifles, too," Thomas said. "The Army gives you instruction in that." His father's sport was golf and in high school Thomas was on the golf team. He said he was a "mediocre golfer" and wasn't all that taken with the sport. And then came a day at the Texas State Fair and a spot in a clay target competition. "My first competitive score was 57 out of 100, which is awful," he said. "But I had found my niche. I really enjoyed it and it takes a lot less time than golf." While Thomas was with the Dallas Gun Club in the 16 Summer 2012 SCENE billthomas mid-1990s, representatives from the United States Helice Association approached the club about holding a trial there to select competitive shooters for the U.S. national team. (Helice is a form of target shooting for shotguns similar to live pigeon shooting that uses mechanically thrown plastic targets.) "I competed with them just in the spirit of good sportsmanship," Thomas said, "and I ended up in fourth place. The third-place guy was unable to go, so I ended up on the team that went to Italy in 1994 to compete for the world championship." The U.S. team won in a shootoff with the Italians who had dominated the sport up until then. "We were the first non-Italian team to win in 10 or 15 years," Thomas said. "They had us on podiums for the medal ceremony just like in the Olympics. To this day I get chills up my spine when I see the American flag being raised." Thomas went on to participate and compete in 27 World Skeet Championships and won a class medal virtually every year he competed. It wasn't easy to get Thomas to talk much about himself. His favorite topic of conversation is really the team he coaches and the sports shooters in whom he takes so much pride. He has every reason to be proud. That team has brought more than 40 medals, along with national and state titles, back to Schreiner since it started competing in 2007. One former member, Caitlin Barney Weinheimer, from Ingram, Texas, came achingly close to making the U.S. Olympic team for the 2012 London Olympics. Weinheimer also won Schreiner's first national championship since it became a university, in women's international trap. "The kids are the ones doing all the work and I'm having all the fun," he said. "I'm dealing with topnotch young go-getters, self-starters and achievers who are good students and fun to be around. I'm just the porter and chauffeur for the shooting team."

Kilimanjaro. "I just finished climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, 19,331 ft., the tallest free standing mountain in the world," he e-mailed. "The last few hours to the top was more difficult than the Ironman, I didn't think I was going to make it back down alive for a little while until the sun just broke the horizon." at right, Pappas finishes his first Ironman Triathlon. By LOuISe KOhL Leahy hen Tom Pappas '12 starting thinking about college, Schreiner wasn't on his list. In fact, his list didn't include any schools that didn't have a lacrosse program. W "I spent some time at other schools," Pappas, who has learning disabilities, said. "I didn't start with Schreiner even though it was a perfect match for me academically. And even though my father (Harris Pappas '62) went here." Lacrosse notwithstanding, he was not happy with the first schools he attended. "When I took tests at the other schools, the teachers would sometimes just grab the tests out of my hands," said Pappas. "I took so long to finish they thought I couldn't understand the material, but all I needed was more time." Pappas switched his focus to Schreiner and its Learning Support Services program, but not without some help. "To get me to come here, my dad and my sister basically kidnapped me," Pappas said. "They told me we were going to some restaurant. I fell asleep in the car and woke up on campus." At the end of his first semester at Schreiner, Pappas had a 4.0 GPA. "I had to develop a style of learning before I even started college," he said. "LSS ensures teachers will accommodate that style, while helping you improve your efficiency at processing, so it becomes an advantage not a disadvantage. LSS is the most fantastic program for students with learning disabilities in the entire country." The one disadvantage about coming to Schreiner is all the time he had on his hands now that he wasn't playing and training for lacrosse. "I got here and I wasn't sure what to do with all that time," Pappas said, "so I sent e-mails to people about cross-country, soccer and fraternities. In less than I week, I went from having nothing to do to being completely involved." Pappas was on the cross-country and soccer teams, and was a member of Chi Phi fraternity during his time at Schreiner. He was a member of the student senate and president of the Student Athletic Advisory Committee. He also competed as a member of the Schreiner Shooting Sports Society. Recently he competed on the nine-member skeet team that brought home a silver medal from the Association of College Unions International national championships in San Antonio. "We're a small school, but we shoot very competitively 18 Summer 2012 SCENE new Coaches against larger schools," he said. As you might guess, Pappas is a talented athlete. He is also modest about his accomplishments, which include completing his first Ironman competition in August 2011--140.6 miles in 15 hours. "It took nine months of training," Pappas said, "a lot of biking and running, a lot of days in the sun, a lot of mental preparation and eating. It was probably the most difficult mental and physical preparation I've ever done." He said his tryout for Schreiner's soccer team was a little less impressive. "I came out for an off-season tryout," he said. "I figured I didn't have the soccer skills for the first team; I hadn't played since my sophomore year of high school. I heard the coach just say `thank you' to a couple of other players and I was sure he would say the same to me. But he said, `Thank you for trying out. You're going to have a jersey and a spot on the team.' I must have thanked him 30 or 40 times before he started laughing." Pappas was an exercise science major who plans to go to culinary school in New York City after graduation. A close friend from high school is already there and has that rarest of NYC items, an affordable apartment he is willing to share. "Alex and I have a list of things we want to do together, like the Ironman," Pappas said. "This summer we're going to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Then my sister and I are going to Peru to climb Machu Picchu, hiking all the way up. It will take a few days. "I know I'm lucky to be able to have these kinds of experiences," he added. And that young man from whom teachers grabbed tests graduated from Schreiner in May, having been on the Dean's or President's list every semester since he got here. mountaineersports Jimmy Smith Men's Basketball: Su men's basketball head coach Drew Miller resigned his position in april, after the program's most successful year in the nCaa era. although the blow seemingly hurts the Mountaineer program, Schreiner was able to hire a very accomplished and widely regarded new head coach in Smith. he served as the assistant coach at (a fellow american Southwest Conference member) Mary hardin-Baylor for three years and helped the team to its most successful run in school history. While at uMhB, the Cru were annual stalwarts in the national rankings, won two aSC Championships and dominated the aSC West Division. he was also a highly successful player at uMhB, helping the team to great success during his four-year career. Jessica Peterka Softball: Peterka was a recordsetting four-year starter for Presbyterian College in South Carolina. She holds school career records for home runs and rBIs, and is on most of the school's other offensive records lists. her teams compiled a record of 13585 during her career, including a 48-13 record her first year. She was the assistant coach (pitchers and catchers) at nCaa Division II Tusculum College (Tennessee) for two seasons and was hired to coach Lambuth university in Memphis for one year. While there, she became an administrator and coordinated the school's compliance department as it transitioned from naIa to nCaa Division II. her most recent assistant coach position was at West Virginia Wesleyan (nCaa-II), where she helped the team earn a record of 48-8 overall and was ranked as high as no. 15 nationally. for schedules and more athletic news, visit http://athletics.schreiner.edu. www.schreiner.edu Summer 2012 19 Baseball Schreiner baseball had a tough first year under new head coach Ryan Brisbin. The Mountaineers showed definite improvement in pitching, led by junior Matt Valley, but struggled offensively all year. The defense was very strong early, struggled mightily in the middle of the season and then rebounded at the end of the year. The team finished 4-17 in american Southwest Conference play. next year the transformation in the program will begin as Brisbin welcomes his first full recruiting class. he already has 25 commitments for next year so the team will be very young, but there should be strong competition throughout the roster. On the academic front, Schreiner baseball was the most improved program in the department and claimed the Outstanding Team GPa award for the 2011-12 year. In the spring semester, the team had a remarkable overall GPa of 3.08 to lead all men's squads and 20 of the 29 players earned a 3.00 GPa or better in the semester--all records for the program.

Softball SU softball had a challenging season. head coach Don Green resigned with six weeks remaining in the season and assistant coach Joe anders took over. The Mountaineers finished the year 9-15 in the conference but were a much more inspired and competitive team towards the end of the year. Junior Callie Caesar led the team in hitting with a .360 average and freshman Jana Masters had a team low era of 3.20. Schreiner softball also won the Outstanding Team GPa award for 2011-12 and had a semester GPa of 3.32. Su hired Jessica Peterka in May to become the new head coach and anders will continue to be a strong assistant coach. Peterka's challenge will be to replenish a short roster for the 2012-13 season and with not a lot of time to do so. She does have a core group of talented returning players to build around. front row, left to right, Kristy Gonzalez, Brandy Gonzalez, Charis Sultemeier, Victoria flores, ashly Bouthot, Jordan Moody and Kayla avirett.

Men's Tennis The squad was made up of first-year players at every spot except one this year, which was not a winning combination. But that youth should mean a very different result in 2013, as coach Wade Morgan adds his first recruiting class to this program. eight new players are committed to coming this fall and new faces should be a very common theme in matches. freshman austin Carrola was the team's best player throughout the year but he'll face strong challenges from many of the incoming recruits. freshman Stephen rogers will be back in the fold next fall and will help the team's depth. This program should return quickly to its more successful years like those it enjoyed in the mid-00s now that the recruiting pipeline has been re-established.

Senior Sarah Stillwell and junior Gabby rosales led the team in 2011-12 and both earned all-aSC honors again this year. Stillwell became the first Mountaineer golfer to be a four-time all-aSC award winner. The excitement, though, is for the SC future of the program. This fall, rosales and two strong freshmen from this past year--Melanie Dean and Maddie Scheidler--will be joined by what is easily the program's biggest and strongest freshman recruiting class to date. The five (possibly six) incoming freshmen should at least do for the women's program what that same sized group did for the Su men's team in 2011-12. although the program will be extremely young (likely eight of the top nine players will be either freshmen or sophomores), a quick transition to college play by the newbies could vault Su into the top-20 or higher in 2013. front row, left to right, Gabby rosales, Simone Date and Katlynd Imbody. Back row, left to right, Melanie Dean, Maddie Scheidler and Sarah Stillwell. Men's Golf The SU men got off to a very strong start in the fall season, but didn't fare as well in the spring. The team finished fourth at the 2012 aSC Championships, which is where the team was slotted going into the event, but expectations after the strong fall season seemed to weigh the team down. In the fall, the team rose to a ranking as high as no. 16 in the nation. Cheyne Kendall and Jimmy Keener, both freshmen, were tournament medalists in the fall. Despite the drop-off in the spring, the Mountaineers were successful in adding the no. 4-ranked freshmen recruiting class in the nation in 2012 and all five rookies have already made an impact. Two strong recruits join the returning players this fall and both should compete for a starting spot right away. This team could be one of the deepest and most competitive in the conference next year but will still have only three upperclassmen on the roster. If the new and older players compete as successfully in tournament play as they do in qualifying, this should be a top-20 program by spring of next year. Junior andy Bell became a first-time academic all-american in 2012. front row, left to right, andy Bell, Ian Davis, Marcus Vargas, Zach reichenau and Kelby ruiz. Back row, left to right, Zach Oliver, Jimmy Keener, Cheyne Kendall, Matt Garrett (did not play in the spring) and Tommy Xu. Women's Tennis The Schreiner women's tennis team struggled again this year, but a new era has started, with new head coach Wade Morgan taking a much more active approach with the women's team. although the record was similar to the past few years, team competitiveness was quite a bit better. his first recruiting class will arrive this fall and features an unheard-of seven new players. To say that the program will be very different in 2013 is an understatement as there will be strong competition for starting spots from now on, which should mean significant change in the competitiveness of the program. Sophomore Teresa Gaitan was the no. 1 player in singles and she o. teamed with freshman haley richards at no. 1 doubles. The no. 2 doubles team of juniors Kelley Spahn and Lindsay fox were the program's strongest.

While pursuing a pre-med track biology major, she shadowed a number of local doctors, including Dr. Thomas Noonan, who is the volunteer doctor in Schreiner's Health and Wellness Center; orthopedic surgeon Dr. Robert Mitchell; and two radiologists, Dr. Joe Pruneda and Dr. Tyson Hale. "All my shadowing was really helpful, but Dr. Mitchell helped me the most," said Calhoun, who plans to practice reconstructive plastic surgery. "I was able to shadow him in the clinic and in surgery." Calhoun, whose family are Kerrville residents, now lives in College Station, where she is in her second year of medical school at the Texas A&M Health Science Center. She was also accepted at four other schools, including the University of Texas-San Antonio and Texas Tech University. "When I interviewed at A&M, the questions were different than at the other schools," she said. "They didn't just ask about my volunteer work or why I wanted to be a doctor, which is basically on my r�sum�. I felt extremely challenged. I decided to go to A&M because I loved that I was going to be challenged every day." Possibly one of the most interesting things that has happened to Calhoun since leaving Schreiner is being invited to observe the first fullface transplant in the U.S., which 22 Summer 2012 SCENE formerstudents took place at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston in 2010. She was visiting Dr. Elof Eriksson, chief of the division of plastic surgery, and his wife and shadowing doctors there. "As soon as I got to the clinic that day, Dr. Eriksson pulled me aside and asked me to guess beyond my wildest dreams what I was about to see. I guessed some sort of transplant and he said, `Not just any transplant; the first total face transplant ever performed.' The plastic surgery team would be flying to the donor that night, taking the face, flying back to Boston and immediately going to work on the patient. I went to a private meeting with six plastic surgeons. There was a slideshow of their plan, the donor and the recipient. They said this had to stay extremely quiet. I felt so privileged to be there and Dr. Eriksson insisted I was there for every moment." Calhoun said that 60 to 70 percent of her medical class plan to go into primary care, OB/GYN or pediatrics. Medical students in the U.S. must go through a residency program before being licensed to practice, she said, and five percent of medical school graduates will not be able to go on to residency because of the shortage of programs. Calhoun said she had her eye on a six-year residency at Southwestern Hospital in Dallas because it's "miles ahead in technology." But before that--even before finishing medical school--she will take a year to get her M.B.A. at A&M. After that, she'll finish her third year of medical school and plans to graduate in 2015 with both an M.D. and an M.B.A. "Our teachers have told us that in residency we better prepare ourselves for 100-hour work weeks for $30,000 a year," Calhoun said. "In light of that, I keep in mind that I want to be a doctor because I want to help people." She plans on practicing both cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery. "Reconstructive is where my heart is," she said, "children with cleft palates, burn victims, women with mastectomies, other traumas. Cosmetic surgery pays the bills so you can do reconstructive surgery. I wanted to explore the art side of medicine but in a field where there are immediate results and it's not life and death. I also don't want to be pushed into a corner where someone is telling me I have to see a patient every seven minutes. "I want to be the best possible mother and wife as well as a doctor," she added. She recently married Christopher Hix whom she has known since high school. She gives Schreiner a lot of the credit for getting her where she is today. "My education at Schreiner was extremely individualized," Calhoun said. "Professors helped me narrow in on and improve my weaknesses, while at the same time improving my strengths. Schreiner instilled in me a confidence I definitely did not have before. They made me believe that I could become an incredible doctor and forced me to overcome challenges. The confidence this gave me has dramatically helped me with my communication skills with patients, my work ethic and most importantly, my desire to help people in the most positive way."

Iraq Hacks Are Back
A broken, bleeding Iraq worsens daily,

Kate Kane is back, and better than ever!
I can not explain how much I loved this issue! When JH Williams was on Detective Comics, it was easily one of DC's best books, I like Rucka's story, but I came back every week for Williams's absolutley stunning artwork.
Story The story itself is pretty simple, but it's defintley captivating. Bruce Wayne(yes, Bruce) is watching Kate Kane fight a group of thugs from the religion of crime. He creates a journal of sorts to record Kate's fighting styles. The pages spilt up, and we're presented with Kate's life as, well, Kate and she's visiting the Cemetery where her mother and sister are buried. Bruce watches suspiciously from the background, making a log of this as well. As Batwoman continues to fight the thugs, Bruce, disguised as a beggar, watches Jake Kane drop money into his cup. Batwoman defeats the thugs, and goes after their leader Sister Shard. Kate is out partying at a nightclub. Bruce tries to follow her, in another disguise, but she runs away. We then get a susrise cameo from Flamebird! We learn Kate's reading habits, and while Batwoman seems beaten by Shard, she destroys's Shard's technology implants, and finally defeats her. kate has to defeat Bruce, disguised as a mugger. Her fighting styles coninside with Batwoman's, and Bruce figures out that Kate Kane is Batwoman.
W Haden Blackmand and JH Williams co write this story. I remember the series Chase, from the mid 90s, was a great series, and was cowritten by Williams. This defintley hjolds true here, this was a fantastically laid out issue. W. Haden Blackman was also a good writer, I assume he wrote the dialogue while Williams coplotted. I one thing I love about thw writng was Bruce's constant disguises. He was determined to find out if Kate is Batwoman. This is really classic Bruce, so glad he's back! I really like the log Bruce keeps, at one point he comments on Batwoma's fighting styles by saying that he wouldn't of taken the criminals down the way she did. Little things made this issue great!
The art by both Williams and Reeder is spectacular! Although they both bear some similarities, Reeder's style is more detailed, while Williams uses a more painting influenced style.I'm a huge fan of Williams, from his stuff on Promethea, Seven Soldiers, and especiialy on Chase, I absolutley adore his work! It's just as great here! I've gushed over JH Williams artowrk, but Amy Reeder is no slouch either! Her work is great, it's really detailed and textured, and love her facial expressions!
Oh, and 5 stars!
Defintley pick this issue up! Plain and simple!
