12 SEPTEMBER 11 Faculty write about their perspectives on the attacks against the United States and what the future holds. Also, UTSA reservists are prepared to serve, and the university’s international students are especially touched by the tragedy. 16 WHO WE ARE UTSA boasted a record enrollment of 19,883 students for the fall semester. But who are the people behind the census date statistics? Staff writers talked to seven students and learned there is no such thing as a typical student.

All roads lead to Budapest By Holly Hansen-Thomas

“Make the strangers welcome in this land, let them keep their languages and customs, for weak and fragile is the realm which is based on a single language or on a single set of customs.” — St. Stephen, 1036 C.E.

Third academic building opens on Downtown Campus The Durango Building, the newest academic building at the Downtown Campus, was opened to students this fall. The five-level, 127,500-square-foot structure houses the Tomás Rivera Center, the Upward Bound Program, Student Activities, Faculty Resource Center and administrative and faculty offices, as well as specialized labs and classrooms for biology, instructional technology, chemistry, ecology, kinesiology, music/theater, and art and architecture. Features include a multipurpose student activities and recreational area, an art gallery and a meeting facility that can accommodate up to three separate events at one time. The Durango Building is part of the Downtown Campus Phase III construc- tion, which also includes a four-level parking facility. These structures were completed at a cost of $36 million. Work will begin in spring 2003 on the final Phase III component, a $7 million addi- tion to the Durango Building that will house the UTSA Institute for Economic Development.

Extreme spiritedness comes to UTSA athletics

UTSA is bringing athletic spirit to campus in a wave of blue—the Blue Crew, that is. The brainchild of Brad Parrott, the Department of Athletics’ new director of promo- tions and community relations, the Blue Crew is a group of students who aim to put the “rowdy” back in Roadrunner sports. “We want to build an affinity for our athletics program and create some new traditions at the games,” Parrott says. Besides providing spirited fun, the Blue Crew functions as an incentive program. The more games Blue Crew members attend, the more discounts they receive on athletics merchandise and at local restau- rants and other venues. More than 1,400 students have pledged allegiance to the Blue Crew, agreeing to abide by the crew’s “10 Commandments.” Each member receives a blue T-shirt that lists the commandments, all of which urge spirited support for UTSA sports. Parrott’s intention is to have at least a handful of Blue Crewers at every one of UTSA’s 108 home games, matches or meets. “The Blue Crew is going to be the wildest, wackiest student group in college sports,” Athletic Director Lynn Hickey says. Some of the group’s antics are rehearsed, and others are sponta- neous, Parrott says. Members have sung silly songs, cheered, drummed, swept and even read the Paisano student newspaper (but only when the other team’s members were introduced) during volleyball and basketball games. Adding to the spirit of the games is the UTSA pep band, which has returned to the court after a five-year absence. The 18-member student band will play at 25 athletic events, says Associate Professor Robert Rustowicz, who directs the group. “With the lateness [in the semester] of starting the band, we realize that most of the musicians will be music majors, but we hope to open this up to a campuswide group,” he says. “It does take a lot of time to put this group together, but the kids who have expressed an interest are extremely excited about it.” Part-time trombone instructor Chris Branagan, a former pep band member at Texas Tech University, will coordinate the group.

Every semester, the university culls its records to create a profile of the cur- rent student body. Like the U.S. Census, UTSA’s census report is essentially a head count—of how many students attend the university, how many are enrolled in each degree program, how many are first-time freshmen, how many are transfer students, how many are from Texas, from other states and other countries, etc. This year, UTSA has a record enrollment of 19,883, an increase of more than 5 percent since last year. And the Downtown Campus saw an almost 13 percent increase in enrollment in that time.

16 SOMBRILLA 1/14/03 9:54 AM Page 17

The report also shares a few quirky factoids. Though out-of-staters account for less than 2 percent of the student body, UTSA has students from each of the United States except Rhode Island and Vermont. (Students from Alaska and Hawaii? Yes, we’ve got them. But Rhode Island and Vermont—no.) While it seems that every UTSA student fits one set of statistics or another, none of them is defined by those demographics; indeed, the census data cannot tell us who our students really are, what brought them to the university and where they plan to go from here. Indeed, the data doesn’t reveal much about their lives off campus—how many students are married or have children, how many work part or full time or how many live at home. Perhaps in the future, there will be a way to sample our student population for this essential information.

ProfileBertrand enjoys the writing life As a student at UTSA in the mid-1970s, Diane Gonzales Bertrand, B.A. in English ’78, knew exactly what she wanted to do with her life after college: become a teacher. Her inspiration was her history professor, Félix Almaráz. “He was outstanding,” she says.“He taught me about what good teaching should be.” Sure enough, after graduating, Bertrand devoted herself to teaching middle and high school, taking additional courses at her alma mater to improve her skills. But after a brief hiatus to take care of her two young children, Bertrand’s career took a decidedly different direction. It all started when she went back to school to learn to be a better writing teacher. “My first graduate professor told me that a good writing teacher is a writer herself,” the award-winning author explains.“That’s what put me on the road to writing for publication.” Her first published work—an essay about her father’s job as a welder—won a contest in the San Antonio Express-News. With the prize money, she took a course called How to Write a Romance Novel. “I knew nothing about the genre,” Bertrand says.“I wanted to write a romance featuring Hispanic characters, but I wanted my stories to be based on love and commitment rather than lust. Unfortunately, there’s not a big market for G-rated romances!” Bertrand’s first three novels met with rejection, but when she sent her fourth, Sweet Fifteen, to Arte Publico Press, the editors recognized that the characters All of Bertrand’s books feature Latino characters, in part because as the fourth of were good role models for girls.Their instinct to market the book as young adult seven children in a “big Mexican family,” Bertrand knows this community well.

Dear Alumni and Friends,

With deep gratitude, I present the 2000–2001 Honor Roll of Donors. The contributions, pledges and planned gifts received totaled more than $7 million. As a result, academic programs have been strengthened, scholarships were made possible and outreach services were broadened. As UTSA moves toward top-tier research status, and as it evolves as an institution of first choice striving to meet the growing needs of our students, our responsibilities become many. The support UTSA receives from our alumni and friends is essential if we are to achieve excellence in higher education and fulfill the mission with which we are charged. The university’s Biotechnology Initiative is one among the myriad of issues that received broad support from our many friends. With their assistance, the Initiative has now secured $5.65 million, with the major portion earmarked for the construction of the new Biotechnology, Sciences and Engineering Building. It also includes needed support for endowed faculty positions and scholar- ship funding. We are grateful for the generosity encountered daily from UTSA alumni and friends in the San Antonio community and beyond. To the members of UTSA’s Honor Roll of Donors—our heartfelt thanks! Sincerely,

Ricardo Romo President

The 2000-2001 Honor Roll of Donors includes contributions received between Sept. 1, 2000 and Aug. 31, 2001. In compiling this report, care has been taken to ensure accuracy, however errors may occur.

Three generations of Nelsons have helped students pursue their dreams at UTSA—the late Clara Freshour Nelson, her son, Harold, and his daughter, Elizabeth. Clara instilled in her son a love of the arts and a helping spirit, and Harold generously shares those family values through the Clara Freshour Nelson Charitable Trust, which funds scores of scholarships in the College of Liberal and Fine Arts each year. Harold and Elizabeth are shown here with some of the 2001–2002 Nelson Scholars from the Department of Music. SOMBRILLA 1/14/03 9:57 AM Page 25

Dias de los Muertos ofrendas, or altars, at the Institute of Texan Cultures honored the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks in New York City, Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania. Flowers, candles, skulls, pan de muerto and toy figures of fire trucks and police cars trimmed the altar, shown at left. The institute has been creating ofrendas to honor deceased loved ones since the 1980s. Dias de los Muertos, the Days of the Dead, Nov. 1 and 2, are celebrated all over Catholic Latin America and in Mexican American communities throughout the United States.
