Change has been the word of choice around Texas State this offseason. After what Head Coach Dennis Franchione called the most turnover since he joined the Bobcats back in 2011, the team is ready for its second season in the Sun Belt Conference. When Texas State opens its 2014 campaign against Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Aug. 30 inside Bobcat Stadium, Franchione’s team will showcase new schemes on both offense and defense. The Bobcats elected to spice things up after a 6-6 campaign saw them
become bowl eligible for XLI ½VWX XMQI MR TVSKVEQ history after a 37-21 victory over Idaho, but stumble down the stretch and not receive a postseason bid. “That left a sour taste in my mouth, especially when we had three chances to get the seventh win and couldn’t,” Franchione said.

Texas State University’s 2014-2015 Common Experience theme began last May, but organizers are looking toward the fall to get the community even more involved. The theme, Exploring Democracy’s Promise: From Segregation to Integration, stems from the 50th anniversary of Texas State’s inXIKVEXMSR 8LI ½ZI [SQIR [LS ½VWX MRXIKVEXIH 8I\EW State were honored at the tribute celebration in May. Common Experience Steering Committee cochair Pam Wuestenberg said that three of those women still live in San Marcos. While the 50th anniversary was actually last year, Wuestenberg said that the university felt it was still important to pay homage to the historic event. “They wanted to honor
that,” she said. “They wanted to create some connections to the community, and then they also wanted to have our students kind of examine our past, but also look at our present and see the future in what we do for diversity.” “The tribute event was well attended, and it was a real celebration,” Diann McCabe, also a Steering Committee co-chair said. “I saw a lot of people there I know from the Crossroads work, and they were happy to be there and thrilled with the idea of honoring these women.” “There were some reunions going on where people hadn’t seen each other for a long time, and there was some healing going on, and then there was some excitement about going forward and being able to talk about this stuff,” Wuestenberg said. “So I think they embraced the
concept and the theme.” McCabe said that connections continued to be made at this summer’s Juneteenth Celebration. Dr. Dwight Watson of Texas State’s History department spoke about the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Civil Rights Act during the kickoff of the parade at the LBJ MLK Crossroads Memorial. He also invited the community to participate in this year’s Common Experience. Wuestenberg and McCabe said that with former President Lyndon Baines Johnson’s legislation all happening around 50 years ago, many connections can be made to this year’s theme. The LBJ MLK Crossroads Memorial was also a catalyst. “So there were all these pieces that were starting to ½X XSKIXLIV ² ;YIWXIRFIVK said. Wuestenberg said the
community is always invited to every event, and can check the Common Experience calendar for dates and times. This year’s big fall event will be a little different. “Normally we have a speaker, a featured speaker, but the people that we wanted to come were unavailable in the fall,” Wuestenberg said. “So instead, we are going to co-sponsor or kind of help with a professional play that’s being put on on campus called ‘Raisin’ Cane’.” The play will be on Nov. 1, and is open to the public. “It’s about the integration of the African Americans that came back from the war, and getting involved in the music scene in Harlem,” Wuestenberg said. “So, it does have a resonance of history, but then also has a civil rights part to it.” ••• SEE COMMON EXPERIENCE PAGE 11

Ah, fall. When the leaves XYVR GSPSVW XLI ½VWX GSSP wind starts to blow and we all pull out our sweaters and boots...

Canoeing and kayaking, like swimming, are yearround activities in the 72-degree San Marcos River. Many residents have their own craft but those who don’t, as well as visitors, can rent from TG Canoes and Kayaks. They also sell both types of watercraft and accessories.Their hours of operation change a bit in the fall, said owner Dwayne TeGrotenhuis, but the business is open year- round.

Small town fosters big dreams CHRISTOPHER SALINAS DAILY RECORD REPORTER
•••
Creating abstract art that is simple and natural isn’t something that everyone is capable of doing, but for a part-time artist in San Marcos, the city has been a great place for her to explore her hobby and showcase her talent to a small, but encouraging community. Cari Candas, a painter for the local Rio Board Co., grew up in a creative family that was very artistic. She never took any formal classes in art, so she simply learned how to paint with the help of people close to her. By the time she made it to San Marcos, she knew the kind of art style she enjoyed and found a home with her good friends at the skateboard company. Rio Board Co. is a small business that began about seven months ago when owner Dane Adamson broke his longboard. He didn’t want to buy a new one, so he decided to build his own from scratch. Ever since then, he and his two brothers continued to build boards until they found a design they liked, and eventually the company was formed.Their passion for skateboarding, but also the outdoors and natural environment, ended YT FIMRK E TIVJIGX ½X JSV

Candas and her style of artistic expression. “A lot of the art that I do is very simple and natural,” Candas said. “So I try to do that on their skateboards and kind of create Aztec patterns or things that remind them of the outdoors because that’s what their boards represent, they want to create kind of like XLI ¾S[ SJ XLI VMZIV XLEX´W why they’re called Rio.” Painting is completely a side hobby that Candas does for fun. She is a student at Texas State majoring in microbiology and is planning to go to medical school.Yet, her ideas and inspiration when painting still sometimes come from her major as well as her own life experiences. “A lot of times I have kind of a biological feel to my paintings,” Candas said.
“It sounds really nerdy but I’m thinking about cell structures and the chemistry behind a lot of things. People can’t really visualize what a lot of that chemistry looks like, so I try to translate that to painting.” During the Rhythm of the Street event on July 26, Candas was there representing Rio Board Co. as well as San Marcos. The painting she worked on represented her vision of the city and its iconic images all put into a single piece of art. It has an Aztec pattern to it, along with the river and wild rice. Some other work she has done in her free time includes very abstract art that is based off people she knows, including herself. Every line and color is chosen with intent when hand painting her work.
The warm colors on her painting called “Spencer” represent that person. Currently she has done paintings on six different skateboards for Rio Board Co. Her style of art and simplicity still remains the same as if she were painting on a canvas. Since she loves painting on her own time and is good friends with the owner and his brothers, she doesn’t ask for any money. “Their factory or board shack is in the back of their house,” Candas said. “That’s where they build all their boards.They’re all handmade and they try to be really eco-friendly too.” One of the biggest reasons she was excited to work with them is because they really care about the ••• SEE CANDAS PAGE 15

KTSW: Teaching students more at Texas State
DAILY RECORD PHOTO BY TARA POHLMEYER
For 22 years, KTSW has provided a different way to present student news. Pictured above is the place where students produce content for the station. ••• TARA POHLMEYER DAILY RECORD REPORTER
•••
Tuning through the radio dial, San Marcos residents might have happened upon a different-sounding station. The Texas State University student-run radio station, KTSW-FM has been on the air for around 22 years on 89.9. Self-proclaimed as the “Other Side of Radio,” KTSW offers music, news, sports and other programming, all from students. KTSW General Manager Dan Schumacher has been with the station for years. “KTSW originally began, or at least the idea of KTSW — having a radio station, came out of the news writing classes that were taught here at what was then Southwest Texas
State University,” he said. “Eventually it went from news that was produced to play on the cable system here in San Marcos, to more broadened offerings on the cable system. That was when it became KAT radio.” Schumacher said the university was approached by a man who owned the radio frequency 89.9, and they decided to invest and buy it from him. “On April 15 of 1992, after it all was worked out, KTSW went on the air,” Schumacher said. “We have tried to provide different types of programming that serves the university as a large part of this community, and then also the community as a whole.” The Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, requires KTSW to
provide programming to its city of license: San Marcos. Schumacher said the station tries to provide content to help inform the community. “We are training our students in areas other than what has traditionally been seen as what you’d train people for in radio,” he said. “A lot of people LIEV VEHMS ERH XLI ½VWX thing they think is DJs, play-by-play people, talk show hosts, things like that. And that’s normal. And we want to continue to train our students in those areas if that’s where their interest is.” Schumacher said the station has expanded into other areas, such as social media, content management and video production. “Now, it’s like our students need to have
experience in all of these different areas, not specifically to work in radio, but to go out and work in the media,” he said. “We’re going to get to the point where sometime in the fairly near future, we’re going to stop distinguishing between newspapers and radio and television and we’re just going to call it all media. I think we’re kind of working toward that here to where it’s just, ‘We’re going to produce content. We’re content producers.’” Schumacher said he sees KTSW producing content for many years to come. “We may not necessarily continue to do it in the same way, or the content that’s produced here may not be distributed at all times in the traditional ••• SEE KTSW PAGE 15

Schumacher said that students are always learning at the station. “They’re not going to come in here and be the next Tom Brokaw when they sit down to do news, nor are they going to be a hot-shot professional DJ, but that’s the wonder of it too,â€? he said. “They’re real. They’re kind of edgy, kind of raw, they’re very new to it, so it’s kind of exciting.â€? KTSW San Marcos is available to listen to 24/7 on FM 89.9, and online at www.ktsw.net.
