Just as a parent would instruct
his or her child to take caution before
crossing a busy intersection and
to look both ways, the Stop Think
Connect Campaign encourages the
same kind of caution before using the
Internet in today’s lawless cyber-
highway.
The National Cyber Security
Awareness Campaign, Stop Think
Connect, has developed the first
ever awareness program to help
digital citizens to beware of Internets
dangers and to stay safe while online.
The growing number of attacks
on our cyber networks has become,
in President Obama’s words, one
of the most serious economic and
national security threats our nation
faces, according to the Department
of Homeland Security.
In today’s world, a person
will use the Internet for just about
everything; paying bills, checking
bank statements, communicating,
and shopping. Universities today do
everything almost entirely online.
They use an Internet portal for
students to register for classes, stay
connected and check grades.
Jesus Carmona, assistant
professor of CISS at OLLU,
encourages students at the university
to take control of their privacy
online, and to be aware of the
responsibilities that follow your
breadcrumb trail in the rapidly
growing Internet world.
According to Tim Fraser,
national director of the Stop Think
Connect Campaign, 70 percent of
college students are sought after by a
stranger online, 45 percent have been
asked for personal information and
25 percent think it is OK to give out
their information to strangers.
For college students who
have grown up in the skyrocketing
technical revolution, securing ones
information isn’t always a first
priority when using the Internet.
Frequent Internet users are often not
aware of all the risk.
“The extent of threats can be as
juvenile as toilet papering someone’s
yard on the Internet,” FBI Special
Agent Jim Thompson said, “to the
more serious and extreme of cases,
such as identity theft.”
Every three seconds in the U.S.,
an identity is stolen. The Federal
Trade Commission discovered that 31
percent of the identity theft victims
fall into the 18-29 age group, which
would encompass a vast amount of
college students. Texas alone has
the worst identity theft record in the
nation.Shannon O’Dowd, a senior at
OLLU who has had his credit card
information stolen, believes students
are more careless when it comes to
their personal information.
“We just don’t think about it like
we should,” O’Dowd said. “We think
it won’t happen to us.”
Ernest Silva, also a senior at
the Lake, experienced a scare last
summer when his identity was stolen,
and six months went by before he had
a clue.After receiving a phone call
from a police officer from another
city, he was informed that someone
had in fact stolen his identity. They
had his Social Security number, bank
account number and a matching fake
ID.After numerous failed attempts
by the perpetrator to cash checks
through Silva’s bank account,
suspicion began to circulate and the
authorities quickly became involved.
“I’m way more cautious online
Flags. Flowers. Terrorists.
These images may come to mind
when one thinks of 9/11. The 10th
anniversary of 9/11 has left America
with one question: How can we best
remember the victims and their
families?
The effects of 9/11 can still be
felt 10 years later. Oscar Martin,
a junior and ex-military, was on
a flight coming home on Sept. 11,
2001 when planes hit the Twin
Towers. He first heard about the
attack when he landed. Martin said,
“It made me think - what if?”
The incident hit home to
freshman Eloisa Trinidad, whose
father was in the military. “I feel
for the families of firefighters.” She
said she was in the third grade and
still remembers teachers tu
rning on
TVs so they could watch the news.
Regarding the anniversary, she said,
“People should reflect on what’s
happened. A lot of people want to
forget.”Others, su
ch as Sara Melchor,
junior, believe that America has
become careless. “Ten years is a
long time. Since then we’ve let our
guard down. 9/11 isn’t front page
news anymore,” she said.
Melchor was in San Francisco
on 9/11 and she remembers,
“Confusion. It was unbelievable.
The city was in a panic. Everyone
thought we were next. There was a
peace rally and it turned into a riot.”
Dr. Kimberly Gibson, director
of Center for Women, shares her
birthday with 9/11. “I share my
birthday with my father as well.
It usually is a joyful day, and the
anniversary of terrorism is an
important reminder why we can’t
ignore other people. Terrorism
grows out of human neglect. We
have to remember to embrace
others.”Martin summarized the effect
9/11 has on us: “It’s like a surgery
scar. It’s healed, but you still
want
to pick at it.”

Where have the students gone?
This year’s drop in student
enrollment has impacted many
facets of the university, especially
Residence Life and Student Dining.
Despite the decrease in numbers,
these departments continue to move
forward and make improvements,
according to officials.
“We do anticipate a smaller
overall class this year,” Vice
President of Enrollment Management
Mike Acosta said. Official
enrollment numbers have not yet
been released for this academic
year, although there was an overall
increase in enrollment over the
previous three years.
Acosta attributes the sudden
decrease this semester to threats by
the state and national government
to cut funding for financial aid and
grants by as much as 50 percent,
when in actuality, the funding was
reduced by only a relatively small
percentage.
However, “It was fairly late that
we got that information,” Acosta
said. “Just that waiting got students
thinking about other options.”
Acosta maintains a positive
outlook on the enrollment situation.
“Financial packages will remain
roughly the same,” Acosta said.
“I don’t see any changes as far as
moving forward… We’re happy that
a lot of students have decided to
come back.”
Director of Residence Life Mark
Center upholds a similar, forward-
thinking outlook despite the drop
in both freshman and returning
residents.
“As far as the number change,
we have had a reduction of
approximately 100 residents, which
is pretty substantial,” Center said.
“Most of my anecdotal reasoning
appears to be financial struggle by
students.”
The drop in residents has
resulted in the closure of two
residence halls. Center had
already anticipated closing St.
Anne’s Hall because it was a low
occupancy dorm, any ways. The
closure of Ayres Hall, however,
was unexpected. Neither of the
unoccupied dormitories is currently
being used.
“We are in discussion… about
utilizing the space for guests during
alumni weekend and during the
spring when we often have guests
that participate in the Folk Life
Festival through the IFCC during
spring break,” Center said.
Center has still overseen many
improvements to the residence halls,
despite the decrease in residents.
Recent improvements have included
expanded television channel

World Youth Day
enlivens students
September 11 attacks
resonate a decade later
Traveling across the Atlantic
and through several times zones, a
few Our Lady of the Lake University
students made the journey to Madrid,
Spain, for World Youth Day (WYD).
Over 1 million of the world’s young
people gathered on Aug. 16 through
21 to be in the presence of Pope
Benedict XVI.
WYD dates back to 1985 and
is an encounter with the pope that is
celebrated every two to three years in
a different country. The experience is
available to all young people from 14
to 30 years old who want to commit
themselves to Christ and share it with
other people from all over the world.
The majority in attendance ventured
to Madrid as pilgrims, a few with
the only luxury being the ride there
by airplane. They would spend their
days with bags on their backs while
sleeping in hostels or community
buildings at night.
Besides the papal meetings
and daily masses, the pilgrims were
invited to enjoy the sights and sounds
of Madrid. The youths were able
watch movies at local cinemas, have
access to art at prestigious museums,
view and celebrate Mass at different
churches, attend concerts and indulge
in Spanish cuisine. Many also visited
other countries such as France, Italy
and Portugal.
OLLU junior psychology student
Brenda Martinez, an associate
with the Congregation of Divine
Providence (CDP), discovered the
pilgrimage from Sister Gloria Anne.

The Center for A
rchaeological R
esearch and Departm
ent of A
nthropology for the University of
Texas at San Antonio (U
TSA) visited
OLLU
on Sept. 28 to view and take
samples from
the Jack and Joyce C
oleman skeletal collection housed
on campus.
The Colem
an Collection is an
array of human rem
ains excavated back in 1995 from
the Hidden Valley
RV Park located in Von O
rmy.
Dating back to the prehistoric tim
es, the C
oleman C
ollection features over 21 full-body skeletons, including an infant. O
LLU is the only university
in the state to possess such a collection.
Dr. Jennifer R
ice, the program
director and assistant professor for the anthropology program
at the Lake, w
as thrilled to host researcher C
ynthia Muñoz and U
TSA
Anthropology graduate student
Kirsten Verostick as they collected
data for their research on diets of populations through different tim
e periods.
“We’re interested in this
collection because it dates to the
late prehistoric and most cem
eteries in Texas are a lot earlier,” M
uñoz said. “W
e don’t really have any good representations of cem
eteries in that tim
e period.”A
fter gathering hair and bone sam
ples and performing m
inor procedures, U
TSA w
ill send them to
a mass spectrom
etry machine located
in Arizona w
here they will undergo
tests to assess their carbon and nitrogen content. This inform
ation w
ill tell the anthropologists what
kind of plants and proteins these prehistoric people ate, as w
ell as details of the environm
ent they inhabited.
“The UTSA
research on the skeletal collection is im
portant because the inform
ation they get from
the Colem
an Collection w
ill be part of a m
ajor research study on diet (isotope study) of Prehistoric People in N
orth Am
erica,” Rice said.
Besides providing sam
ples for U
TSA, the C
oleman C
ollection is used as a teaching aid for classes such as forensic anthropology and osteology. The num
ber of anthropology students continues to increase at O
LLU. Plans are in the
works to offer A
nthropology as a m
ajor in the coming years.

What’s SG
A been up to?
The Student Governm
ent A
ssociation (SGA
) has much in store
this semester, as one of its m
ain goals is to expand its outreach and accessibility to students.
SGA
Vice President Ryan R
ojas said the SG
A has both inform
ative and fun events planned this sem
ester that w
ill promote SG
A and allow
students to get m
ore involved with
the OLLU
comm
unity. “SG
A is pretty m
uch the go-to guys,” R
ojas said. “If there are any types of concerns…
we’re here to
educate (students) and show them
the w
ay. We’re here to advocate for
them and be their voice. A
t the same
time, w
e’re also here to become
aware of the things that are available
on campus, so they can also excel
academically.”
SGA
Director of R
ecords and Finance Jeffrey M
artinez said he enjoys SG
A because, as a voice for
his peers, he likes to help resolve the issues his fellow
students may have.
He explains that students can
get involved with the SG
A w
ithout becom
ing an officer.“W
e really advocate that, as a student here at the Lake, no m
atter your classification, you’re a m
ember of SG
A because you are a
student here and you are a part of the decisions that are being m
ade,” M
artinez said. “You’re getting involved the second you voice a concern.”
The SGA
works in close
collaboration with the U
niversity Planning C
omm
ittee (UPC
) in order to prom
ote and plan campus events.
President of UPC
Lela B
ocanegra said new events this
semester include a M
ovie Night
outdoors at the Library Circle outside
Centennial H
all on October 26.
“We’re going to show
A
mityville H
orror, the first version,” B
ocanegra said. “We’re going to
have a whole bunch of H
alloween
snacks.”The U
PC w
ill also host a C
offee House on the Pacelli Patio
on Novem
ber 2 with G
aby Moreno,
a blues, jazz, and soul artist and songw
riter. “She does…
songs that relate to students and their culture,” B
ocanegra said.The SG
A has its ow
n events planned for this sem
ester, as well.
One of its goals is to becom
e more
accessible to weekend college
students by having a table set up on the w
eekends to pass out cookies and have conversations w
ith the students that m
ay not have a chance to come
to campus events or voice concerns
to the SGA
during the week.
Rojas said the SG
A is planning
a campus-w
ide Veterans Day event,
possibly collaborating with the
parade in the outside comm
unity. “This is a new
thing we’re
trying to bring to campus so students
be aware of w
hat’s going on with our
troops and also show som
e support,” R
ojas said.The SG
A w
ill also host A
cademics and A
ppetizers on Oct.
24 at 12:15 p.m. in PW
SR. D
uring this event, students w
ill have free food and an open forum
with the
deans of the university. Academ
ics and A
ppetizers gives students the opportunity to voice their concerns and ask questions.
The SGA
is coming up w
ith new
, creative ways to get involved
with student body this sem
ester in order to give students a w
ell-rounded college experience.
“One of our new
ways to
advertise is one of our guys is going to be running around dressed like a jalapeño, and if you can catch him
, you get a prize,” R
ojas said. “We’re
pretty much trying to get m
ore involved w
ith the students and make
our outreach a little further.”For m

C.
Let me begin by saying that I am
a bus rider m
yself; I rely on my bus
following its route and schedule so
that I make it to school right on tim
e. So w
hen I heard the rumors about
bus stops being moved or com
pletely closed, I had a very personal interest in investigating w
hat changes were
occurring and how it w
ould affect us, the student body.
First rumor to clarify: B
us stops w
ill not be closed. R
achel Miranda, secretary of
public affairs for Vía, said, “B
us stops on 24th Street have been m
oved tem
porarily due to construction.” C
onstruction is estimated to be a
nine-month process and is supposed
to be completed at the end of the
academic year.
Secondly, the only bus stops that are going to be affected are the ones follow
ing route 522. The bus stop on the side of the library is going to be m
oved about 50 feet. Across the
street on the Providence side, the stop w
ill be moved slightly further dow
n. The change is so slight that it is very unlikely for anyone to com
plain. “I can not im
agine any negative effect,” D
irector of Physical Plant D
arrel Glasscock said. “W
e are talking about very negligible…
distance.”
Executive Vice President D
avid C
. Estes, Ph.D., explained the reasons
behind these changes.“They chose these bus stops so
that the front of the university, from
Main to the library, w
ould be better connected, very sim
ilar to the Mall
Area,” Estes said.
After the construction is done,
there will be only tw
o lanes instead of four, and the university is going to reclaim
the central area for trees and natural grass.
Aesthetic appearance is not
the only motive for m
oving the bus stops. A
nother reason is safety. It is
planned for buses to have a turning lane, w
hich means that they w
ill have the ability to pull over, out of the w
ay of traffic.
“Bus turnouts are safer,” G
lasscock said. “Police and fire trucks w
ill never be stuck behind the bus.”
Bus stops on 24th Street are
definitely going to be a lot safer, how
ever both Estes and Glasscock
pointed out that they are not the most
popular bus stops. The bus stop on the cross-section of 24th Street and C
omm
erce, where bus routes 75 and
76 stop, are a lot busier. There are various things being done to m
ake these bus stops safer, as w
ell.“I know
Vía has plans for the
future to have major transit stations
installed over here that will m
ake these bus stops safer,” G
lasscock stated.Estes talked about the plans of redesigning the w
hole area of Elm
endorf Park using bond money
and money from
the county. He said
these proposed changes would attract
people to park. “W
e are going to have new
hiking and biking trails from 24th
Street Bridge all the w
ay up to C
omm
erce Street Bridge,” Estes said.
“That’s going to bring so many m
ore people from
the neighborhood to w
alk the circle.” A
ccording to Estes, lighting will
also be added across these trails.O
LLU is m
aking major changes
to promote safety. H
owever, students
need to take a responsibility in participating in safe traffic habits.
“I do want to m
ake a serious request that the students push the w
alk button and wait to cross w
ith the signal.” Estes said.

Although the fall semester is
halfway through and registration
for the spring semester has already
begun, one thing will remain relatively constant throughout both
academic seasons – the number of
full- and part-time professors that
make up Our Lady of the Lake’s
faculty. Why should this be of concern to the student body?
It shouldn’t.But in a concocted scenario,
a student who is facing a problem
while carrying out an assignment,
project or, more simply, is having a
hard time understanding a concept
would best attain answers to their
questions through contacting their
professor. Contacting a professor
can either be an easy task that would
involve setting up an appointment or
getting questions answered through
e-mail, or a hard task if the professor
is employed part-time and does not
have office hours.“Part-time faculty members are
often stretched so thin that it’s hard
for them to devote the same number
of hours to students that full-time
faculty members do,” said Professor
Michael Lueker, head of the English
Department. “It’s often tougher for
students to find part-time professors
on campus.”Although Professor Lueker’s
department is made up of seven full-
time and two part-time professors,
the ratio for OLLU at large is somewhat different. According to Cindy Vazquez
in the Office of Academic Affairs,
OLLU is made up of 121 full-time
and 114 part-time professors, with
a total of 2,614 undergraduate and
graduate students; almost half and
half, allowing some 10 students per
professor.In comparison to OLLU, sister
schools St. Mary’s University (SMU)
and the University of the Incarnate
Word (UIW) do not fall far behind. According to UIW Provost Dr.
Denise Doyle, with 5,691 students,
UIW counts with a total of 492
professors divided into eight schools
– not a bad number before separating
the number of full-time professors,
252, with the number of part-time
professors, 244. That equates to a
ratio of 50.8 percent versus 49.2
percent (almost half and half), and an
11.6 student-to-teacher ratio.At SMU, there are 196 full-
time professors and 157 part-time
professors available to 4105 students,
according to the SMU Office of
Institutional Research website. Whereas their student-to-teacher
ratio is the same as UIW’s, the full-time, part-time ratio has an 11
percent difference: 55.5 versus 44.5
percent.Highly varying from these
ratios, Trinity University (TU) is made up of 246 full-time and
69 part-time professors available
for 2417 undergraduates and 202
graduate students; a significant
ratio of 78 percent full-time versus only 22 percent part-time
professors, according to Dr. Michael
Fischer, Trinity’s Vice President of
Academic Affairs. This also leaves
an average of eight students per
professor. Fischer attributes this to
the 26 academic departments at the
University.But it is important to remember
that private schools – like OLLU,
SMU, UIW and TU – do not receive
funds from the State and therefore
must charge a considerably higher
tuition to the students in order to
hire a larger number of full-time
professors. In other words, the budget
of a private institution needs to be
balanced with the tuition price for
students by carefully considering the
amount of full-time employees they
may have.At the same time, the roles of
both types of professors should be
taken into account. Full-time faculty
members are entitled to four classes,
whereas part-time professors are
hired by contract and may have only
one or two classes. “Full-time faculty control
the curriculum, are responsible for
assessing our programs, advising the
Do you feel safe at Our Lady
of the Lake? Do you take late night
walks around the campus? Do you
ever leave your purse unattended? Do
you keep cash in your dorm room?
Should you?According to the 2010 Annual
Security Report, in 2010 there have
not been any sex offences, robberies,
car thefts or drug violations. However, there were four cases of
aggravated assault and one burglary.
This compares to one sex offence, one robbery, one burglary
and one motor vehicle theft at St.
Mary’s University campus in the
same year and two sex offences and
21 burglaries at Incarnate Word.According to these reports,
OLLU campus seems the safest from
the universities of about the same
size. Lieutenant Ramon Zertuche
encourages students to take action
and report everything they think is
illegal and unjust. “Report anything that happens,
either on campus or off campus,”
Zertuche said. He explained that most of the
times, after encountering a crime,
students think there is nothing that
can be done about it. If someone
steals cash or is guilty of harassment,
a report should be filed even if they
guilty party is unidentified. Zertuche
said that any information is helpful
because if there are repeated reports
of a crime in the same neighborhood,
SAPD will keep an eye on the area,
patrolling and protecting.“I think over the years we
have gotten better, and I say that
because of technology: we have
surveillance cameras, we have better
equipment…” Zertuche said.Zertuche said he thinks OLLU
has a very safe campus, overall. He
said that students trust the officers,
and the most of the phone calls
OLLU police department receives
are related more to customer service,
rather than crime.“On campus here in the past, we
have had vehicle burglaries. That’s
probably the biggest crime we have
had in years,” Zertuche said.However, he thinks that no
matter how hard campus police tries,
there is no universal way of absolute
crime prevention.
Besides gaining a whole new
staff, Project Student Excellence
(PSE) has undergone numerous
changes since last semester. PSE, a program under the
federally funded TRiO Student
Support Services, offers personalized
support to first-generation and low-
income students. This support comes
in the form of advising sessions,
tutoring, competitive scholarship
opportunities, financial aid and
literacy assistance, workshops and
cultural activities. In order to qualify for PSE,
students must be a U.S. citizen or
permanent legal resident and have
a clear need for academic support.
PSE members must also either be a
first-generation college student, fall
under a low-income status as per
the U.S. Department of Education
or have a documented physical or
learning disability filed with the
Office of Disability Services or Texas
Rehabilitation Commission. PSE Coordinator Jody Crenshaw
said the goal of the TRiO programs,
which also include Upward Bound at
the high school level and the McNair
Scholars Program at the graduate
level, is “to help first-generation,
low-income students with academic
need increase their academic success
to get into college or to stay in college.”
Crenshaw recently transferred
from her position as an academic
advisor at OLLU to her new position as PSE coordinator. PSE
Project Specialists Martha Guerra
and Jennifer Martinez, an OLLU
alumnus, are also new to the PSE
program. “I worked in the financial aid
area,” Guerra said. “I wanted to do
more advising and working with
students on that level.”As a PSE Project Specialist,
her responsibilities include advising
and organizing workshops for PSE
students on topics like applying
graduate school, financial literacy
and budgeting. “We’ll follow up on [PSE students] and make sure they get
the help they require, and it’s great
to establish that relationship with
them,” Guerra said.Crenshaw said the new PSE staff
members have worked well together
so far, and the workshops have been
well-attended. However, the grant received by
PSE from the U.S. Department of
Education states PSE must strive to
service 180 students. Crenshaw said
PSE is currently serving around 109
students. “We want to encourage students
to apply. Even if they’re not sure if
they’re eligible, I’d say come in and
let’s talk, and let’s see what we can
figure out,” Crenshaw said. “We have
a lot of spots to fill. We really want
to encourage students to come in and
seek out services.”PSE/TRIO continued on page 2

You might have noticed recently that hallways are filled with people walking around with smart phones in their hands and their eyes fixed on the screen. It does not necessarily mean that they are engaged in intense texting. It is very likely that they are using the new MOX app developed for OLLU students to navigate their way through the university or to take a look at their schedule. “(The) app MOX was developed by Datatel,” Senior Programmer Analyst Paul Lamping said. “It is our ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system; WebAdvisor is one of their products. MOX was a natural fit and we decided to take it.” MOX is an application for smart phones that allows OLLU students access necessary information anywhere and anytime in the most rapid and comfortable way. The application includes all the important numbers and extensions at OLLU, news and updates about the university, a map of the campus with a nice visual of all the buildings, a list of events and most importantly, a list of student’s current courses and a roster for each class. “MOX was introduced on Aug. 1,” Web Manager Lizette Yanes-Lew said. “It is a source of major communication readily available for them.” Lamping and Yanes-Lew do not have an exact number of how many students downloaded the app, but they know that the majority of the freshmen with smart phones who heard about it during orientations already have it. Out of the 30 students the Lake Front interviewed, 11 did not have a smart phone, but from the 19 that had one, 10 had MOX downloaded. “It helped me learn the names of my classmates,” said John
David Hernandez, a freshman who downloaded the app. Daisi Torres, a junior, is also pleased with the new app. “(The MOX app) makes it a little easier to get a hold of my teachers or classmates for projects,” said Torres. Patrick Lloyd, a junior, also found it very useful. “It is easier than having to track down a computer every time you want something off the portal,” said Lloyd. It was not only students that downloaded the apps, but also the professors. Dr. Oswald Nira uses MOX as well, although he does not know how to post events for classes on the app. MOX is not going to be the only innovation for OLLU students this semester. Programmers are also planning on updating the portal. “We want to make it more secure, faster,” says Yanes-Lew. The major change the programmers want to implement before midterms is a single sign-in capability to the OLLU e-mail. There is also a possibility that students will be able to connect their Facebook accounts to myOLLU accounts.
