UTSA STREETSTYLE:

“I feel like fashion is something (used) to express yourself and ev-eryone has different styles. It’s cool

to see how other people put things together...I

don’t really have a style. One day I

could be edgy, or the next, something completely different.”

—Jayda Bennett

“Fashion is the way that I

show who I am...It’s

sort of just casual chic.”

—Pricilla Vital

“For me, fashion is a means of expressing

myself. I feel that people should always represesnt themselves the way they want to

be looked at. I try to incorporate a lot

of things into my style like vintage

and prints. I try to be really original

but not too crazy. I wouldn’t put my style

under a name. I just do whatever I’m feel-ing that day, and I try to make my closet full

of different types of styles so I can be really

versatile.”

— Toe Udegbue

“We just wear this for our culture. This is what our tradition is back in Kenya…We’re used to wearing these kind of clothes—we’re not used to wearing pants and all those things. It feels comfortable. My parents are from Somalia, but I was born in Ke-

nya because there was a war. (My parents) ran away from Somalia and came to Kenya, and we lived in a refugee camp...Most of our families are in Somalia, so they send (clothes) from there to us.”

s rain beat down her face, profes-sor Emily Lloyd remembered that her job wasn’t always easy. Despite the tough days, when she looks into the eyes of primates

thriving in their natural environment, she knows one thing: this is a dream come true.

From her home in Oxford, England, Lloyd has traveled to over 20 countries from around the world — Norway, Spain, Morocco, Kenya, Egypt, Israel, India, Laos, Cambodia and Guatemala to name a few.

“My bachelor’s degree is in zoology,” Lloyd said, recounting her impressive fieldwork: working with bottlenose dolphins in Hawaii, surveying butterflies in Kenya, coral reef surveying in Australia and, of course, volun-teering at a primate rehabilitation center in Thailand.

“I was the quarantine coordinator,” stated Lloyd, “responsible for integrating newly rescued gibbons into life at the center.” Lloyd’s volunteer work contributed to the center’s first successful reintroduction of a gibbon family back into the wild.

Lloyd was then led to Phu Khieo Wildlife Sanctuary in northern Thailand. She joined a research team that was responsible for habitu-ating (the process of acclimatizing monkeys to a certain area or environment)several groups of Phayre’s langurs, a type of leaf mon-key, and collecting data for their long-term socioecological research project.

After deciding to pursue graduate school, Lloyd moved to the United States—specifi-cally Texas—in order to work with her PhD advisor. She then spent 18 months living in the Udzungwa Mountains National Park in Tanzania collecting behavioral and ecological data on the Sanje mangabey monkey, which is a little-known known primate species.

It was the Sanje mangabey monkey that led Lloyd to Texas. “I came to Texas specifically to work with Dr. Carolyn Ehardt, who is my Ph.D advisor, because I was very interested in working at her field site in Tanzania with the Sanje mangabey.”

After traveling to so many places and expe-riencing numerous adventures, picking a fa-vorite place may seem like a tough challenge for Lloyd, but she can definitely pick one that sticks out more than the others—Thailand. “Thai people are very welcoming. There’s lots of fantastic food and beautiful beaches, and I met my husband there!”

When she’s not with primates, Lloyd is squeezing in as much culture as she can.

“ “There are days when it is really tough work, especially if it is raining hard...but the monkeys make it all worthwhile!

average professor**anthropologist, explorer, monkey lover

“There are so many places I want to go to and things (I want) to see that I try to cram in as much as possible. Usually by the end of a trip, all I want to do is relax and read a book.”

Being a world-adventurer, Lloyd willingly offers a piece of advice to aspiring interna-tional travelers: “Don’t bring anything you would really hate to lose.”

With the worries of your belongings at bay, Lloyd then recommends soaking in the culture. “Try learning some of the local language. People will always appreciate it.”

Experiencing new places while working is an opportunity that Lloyd considers herself lucky to have. Nevertheless, Lloyd doesn’t let her

busy schedule cloud what’s most important: “I always have to fit in a trip back home every year to Europe to see my English and French family.”

As fun and exciting as Lloyd’s life may sound, she admitted that the life of a traveler can be taxing. “It can be tough if you are away from your friends and family for really long stretches of time, especially if you have to miss important events back home like weddings or birthdays.”

Getting the opportunity to travel and experi-ence new cultures are some things Lloyd loves, but she admitted, “My absolute favorite part is watching the monkeys.”

Observing primates in rainforests, and soaked with rain at four in the morning reminds Lloyd that not every day is perfect.

Facing nasty weather and camping in a tent for weeks on end can be challenging. “There are days when it is really tough work,” Lloyd stated, “but the monkeys make it all worthwhile!”

Living a life dedicated to what she loves, Lloyd represents an embodiment of chasing dreams and embracing life’s moments.

As a professor of anthropology, Lloyd lets her love for travel and passion for her job shines through to inspire her students to reach for their goals.

Even on the rainy days, Lloyd remains grateful: “I have always loved studying animal behavior, and it’s a dream come true to watch primates in the wild.”

Who’s pullingyour strings?

raduation is neither an end-all nor a fix-all; most students want more and undoubtedly need more than a degree

to achieve success.While the paths to success vary, the universal

desire to succeed renders college students vulner-able to jobs that may be counterproductive, less than optimal and even detrimental to their long-term goals.

“I’ve been told repeatedly that getting a degree doesn’t necessarily mean you will get a job,” says UTSA junior Emily Canupp, a technical writ-ing intern at a local construction firm. “I’ve also observed that employers are looking for experi-ence too, so I sought an opportunity that would give me an advantage over the students who only graduate with a degree.”

An emphasis on the value of networking is well meaning: students with strong communica-tion skills and previous work experience have a competitive edge in the job market.

A growing, controversial presence on college campuses nationwide, some pyramidal multi-marketing companies (MLMs) may capitalize on college students’ anxieties about their futures, pander to their financial frustrations, ambitions, eagerness and naïveté.

“Multi-level marketing (MLM) is a purported income opportunity,” states a Consumer Aware-ness Institute business report. “Persons recruited into a pyramid of participants make ongoing purchases of products and services, and recruit others to do the same…in an endless chain of re-cruitment and personal consumption in order to qualify for commissions and bonuses to advance upward in the hierarchy of levels in the pyramid.”

Members of WakeUpNow, an MLM marketing company, join through social networks, in-per-son recruitment and a $100 monthly subscription to the company’s online platform.

Subscription to the company is twofold: new members, also called independent business own-ers (IBOs), act as both consumers and distribu-tors of the company platform.

Encouraging its new members to begin re-cruiting others immediately, WakeUpNow waives the subscription cost for IBOs who recruit three additional subscribers, called downline distribu-tors.

The goal is to use all personal social networks

to recruit the most new members possible. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Com-

mission (SEC) names an emphasis on recruitment, especially in multi-level marketing companies that incen-tivize recruiters with monetary compen-sations, as a hallmark of a pyramid scheme.

To profit at the lower rungs of product-based pyramid strat- e-gies, distributors must recruit more company distributors, thus elevat-ing their positions in the pyramids. In addition to recruitment bonuses, compensation plans and new customer bonuses are standard in pyramidal MLMs.

Named in over 160 Federal Trade Commission (FTC) complaints, Vemma Nutrition Company, a controversial MLM that targets student recruits, has a significant university presence. The com-plaints claim that Vemma deceives young adults who feel disfranchised and disillusioned by the current economy with get-rich quick promises, reports the Cincinnati Enquirer. The publica-tion assessed the complaints after filing a Freedom of Information request.

High payoffs, however, are neither guar-anteed nor sustainable. WakeUpNow, Vemma and other MLMs that oper-ate on pyramidal concepts are structured to short-change the lower tiers.

than 75 percent of Vemma af-filiates earn less than $2,000 a year. The average annual income for the top one per-

cent of Vemma affiliates ranges from $30,000 to $2,418,131, according to the company’s 2013 Income Disclosure.

Eighty-two percent of WakeUpNow’s distributors

(IBOs) have an average an-nual income of $0.00, accord-ing to a WakeUpNow 2013 In-come Disclosure Statement. The top one percent of the company receives average annual incomes between $28,300 and $655,000.

The pyramidal concept spreads like wildfire—at first. But the limited number of possible recruits within the distributor pool of networks stifles “suc-cess.” As networks deplete, companies move from city to city and campus to campus.

“The pay plan (of MLMs) is heavily stacked in favor of those at the

highest levels in the pyramid,” says a Consumer Awareness Institute evaluation of MLMs. “The vast majority of participants spend more than they receive and eventually drop out to be re-placed by a stream of similarly misled recruits.”

So why recruit students? The financial strain on students leads them to be open to alternative, unconventional methods for making money—and making a lot of it, fast.

Members can do just that – if they have good networks—claims a WakeUpNow distributor and local college student, who collects over $2000 a month from his on-campus WakeUpNow recruitment.

Desperate, ambitious and social: a combination that makes some students easy, irresistible bait. Social may be a college student’s most attractive quality—at least to a network-dependent MLM.

Each student who buys into the company brings his or her social media network—a data-bank of potential new recruits, customers and money that the pyramid depends on.

“It’s something of an unholy trifecta,” says UTSA senior Gabriel Diamente about the recruitment practices of network-marketing MLMs. “Students are beneath the poverty line (if we were classified as working adults), open to suggestion and eager for a taste of success and the ability to prove themselves.”

The allure of earning big attracts some students to one of the largest student recruiters in the nation, Vector Marketing Corporation, a single-level direct sales company that sells CUTCO Cutlery. College students represent 85 percent of Vector’s sales force, according to Vector’s website.

Cognizant of the financial needs and wants of the college-aged demographic, Vector specifi-cally targets students, recruiting at thousands of colleges and high school campuses across the nation.

“It’s just the way we’ve always done things,” says Pauline Gonzales, a Vector Marketing district manager about Vector’s primary recruit-ment focus on students. “This opportunity speaks highly to students. They are the ones that need an opportunity like this, and they can excel at it really fast.”

Thorough planning. Senior Mary Trevino has learned this lesson the hard way. “Tail-gating isn’t something you can just wake up and do. You need to plan it and think about everything you might need.” From tongs for the food to tents for shade, the more you plan, the better the event will be. Make a list and check it twice. And then check it again. Mentally picture yourself at the tailgating party and think of everything you’ll use. Then pack it all up and put it in your car the night before.

It can make or break the experience. “Not only do you need food,” junior Justin Valdez advises, “But you need enough of it!” Having a variety of food choices is paramount for ensuring that everyone who stops by your party will enjoy themselves.“Meat, meat, meat,” sophomore Brian Grant chimes in. “You can’t go wrong with meat.”Having everyone bring a dish can alleviate the cost, ensure that enough food is available and make sure that all appe-tites are satisfied.

Even if all else fails, the people you are with can make the experience great. Senior Raul Mendiola recommends: “Surround yourself with good com-pany and you’ll never have a horrible tailgate.”Invite all of your friends and consider combing your party with other friends’ parties. The more people you have, the better it is. “I’ve actually left one tailgate party for another that had more people there,” Senior Zachary James says. “I didn’t really know the people I joined, but I still had a great time.”

M E D I ABe it music or TV, having entertainment before the game can pump up your group.Freshman Rose Liddel recalls her first tailgate experi-ence, “Our idea was that we would tailgate and watch the game on the TV. We forgot the TV, but luckily someone thought of turning the truck radio on, so we still had a great time and were able to catch the game.”Don’t forget to pack up all the tech essentials. Things like extension cords can become life-savers. The great thing about tailgating is that people really come together. If you forget your source of entertainment, you can bet that another party will share theirs.

B E E R“Beer. Lots and lots of beer. All types of beer. A tailgate isn’t a tailgate without friends and beer,” graduate Ana Arcolas says.Similar to food, if everyone brings a pack of their favorite adult beverage, no one will have to shoulder the weight of the cost, and everyone will have something they like.In the words of senior Jessi Zettler, “Grill-ing, drinks, and great friends,” are all that’s needed if you want to ensure a great tailgate.

scholarships a year to its top student employees. Rather than scholastic achievements, a student’s performance with the company merits the award. “If they (students) are willing to work hard for them (scholarships), then we are will-ing to donate money for their future,” Gonzales says.

A dicey business with no guarantee of suc-cess, Vector sales representatives (also called independent contractors and associates) pay for their travel expenses, lease show products and rely on commission and bonuses from product sales.

If associates are unable to sell their CUTCO, they forgo future job placements, company advancement, bonuses and a portion of their commissions.

“Any one worth his salt in the kitchen will tell you that you only really need two knives,” explains a UTSA student who is a former Vec-tor sales representative. “I had to ignore that

knowledge to get a larger sale.” “Also keep in mind that appointments for

CUTCO are strictly referral based,” continues the student. “When setting appointments, you can never actually mention ‘knives’ or the product itself.”

Aggressively promoting their network-de-pendent companies, student-salespeople fatigue contacts with pitches, and their social lives may suffer. Company-encouraged recruitment and sales quotas exhausts the networks of its lower-tier members and the members themselves.

Depletion of the associates’ networks deflates individual earning potentials.

“One customer called her friend in front of me and told her she would never speak to her again because she allowed private information to be given to a salesman who brought a bunch of sharp objects with him,” the UTSA student and former Vector associate continues, “and I was promptly kicked out of the house.”

Former UTSA student and WakeUpNow distributor Hannah Creswell attributes network

marketing’s poor reputation to two issues: the stigma of the sales industry and plain igno-rance.

“Nobody wants to feel like they are get-ting sold, or like they are selling someone on something else,” Creswell says. “The second reason (that network marketing gets negative attention) contributes to the first reason, and it is ignorance…. The ignorant person sees what we do as selfish, because they themselves are selfish—classic projection.”

The distributors (IBOs, enrollers, affili-ates, associates and sales representatives who comprise the bottom and middle portions of the pyramid) rarely profit and have a ninety-nine percent exit rate, the Consumer Awareness Institute reports.

Ignorance aside, it is mathematically impos-sible for everyone to profit within network marketing MLM models—those at the bottom of the pyramid fund those at the top and lower level distributors are disposable and easily replaced.

Serving up someserious ice cream

he families, couples and groups of friends who visit Brindles en-counter a cool, sweet vibe. Inside, you can sit at a table, a cozy chair or one of their loveseat couches.

Their music selection creates a laid-back atmosphere, and the volume is low enough that conversations can be carried out while the store continues to welcome new customers.

The service is just as great. You can sample ice cream flavors before you order, and the workers suggest great options. If deciding between two flavors is difficult, a small cup allows you to enjoy both for only $3.65

Located at 11255 Huebner Road and only a 12-minute drive from UTSA’s Main Campus, Brindles Awesome Ice Creams and Espresso Bar is a must-visit if you are an ice cream, gelato or coffee lover.

With best-selling flavors like Azteca — a bold chocolate ice cream containing touches of vanilla and cinnamon — Red Velvet and Coffee Heath, Brindles does not limit their custom-ers’ choices. As for gelato, a refreshing and popular pick is Hibiscus Lemon Ginger.

If shakes are your thing, give the Red Velvet and Brindle — butterscotch fudge crunch flavored ice cream — a try. It has a creamy and deli-cious texture, occasionally inter-rupted by crunchy bits that adds richness. Brindles drink options include soy and chai shakes as well as smoothies.

If you are craving a cup of coffee in-stead, Brindles offers a variety of choices. Most of the cappuccinos and lattes are priced around $3.25, but if you stop by the Half Price Books store next door first, you can bring your receipt to the register for a “half

price coffee.”If it’s too hot outside, why not give their

Affogato a try? It is a tasty compromise between the hot and cold cravings, con-sisting of ice cream topped with espresso and whipped cream. Regardless of your ice cream or drink choice, you are sure to enjoy it.

Although Brindles does

not have a website, they do have a Facebook page and a profile on Urbanspoon.com as well as Yelp.com. Brindles is open daily, Sunday through Thurs-day from noon to midnight, and Friday to Saturday from 12 p.m. to 12 a.m.
