Students cope in pandemic By Jocelyn Martinez LOGOS STAFF WRITER University of the Incarnate Word students are dealing with being educated during a pandemic in various ways. Business major Jakie Olivares said working around COVID-19 issues has affected her learning and continues to do so daily. She said she wishes classes had been in person from the beginning of the semester as she believes she learns better that way. “I feel somewhat safe being back on campus,” Olivares said. “I’m fully vaccinated but I still prefer to take the majority of my classes online for safety.” Staying in touch with family and friends through social media helps her reduce her anxiety levels and keeps her distracted after a long week of learning while remaining socially distant, she said. “I’m happy to be back on campus,” Olivares said. “Even though most of
my classes are online I try to enjoy the experience,” Olivares said. Theatre arts major Nichole Hernandez said COVID-19 affected her learning at first, but as time went on, she said she became more comfortable with being online. Hernandez said she doesn’t feel completely safe being back on campus, but she is OK with having classes online and in person. She is just happy to be back and learning, she said. “I like being on campus, but it’s scary because I see the majority of people not wearing masks,” Hernandez said. Communication arts major Gabrielle Garza said she’s fully vaccinated, but COVID-19 protocol affects her learning, especially when cases go up and the university must go on lockdown. Being fully vaccinated, she said, has helped her not only feel safe but helping to keep those around her safe, too. Garza said she knows being fully vaccinated doesn’t mean she couldn’t

UIW police: Look out for bike thefts Before the Christmas holidays, the University of the Incarnate Word Police Department got reports of a strongarm robbery on campus, and more recently several bicycle thefts. The robbery occurred between 1:15 and 1:19 p.m. Friday, Dec. 10 near Alice McDermott Convocation Center and the solar house where there was a scuffle between at least one of two suspects and an employee with the Athletic Department, according to police. The employee, who reportedly had withdrawn cash from the Bank of America on Broadway, may have been followed to campus by a black sedan, police said.

for the cash and took it before fleeing in the sedan last seen headed toward Burr Road. The employee was not hurt during the incident, police said. The suspect who took the undisclosed amount of money was described as an “African American
male approximately 5’9 wearing a black hoodie and black pants.” The driver, who was wearing light-colored clothing, may have started to exit the vehicle during the struggle, the employee said. The suspects’ vehicle was described as a small black sedan, possibly a Toyota, with a license plate not from the San Antonio area. Based on a partial view, the license plate possibly had this number: ECU-824. Since Jan. 4, UIWID said, “There have been several bicycle thefts that have occurred on the UIW campus between Hillside 1 and Avoca Dorms.” Regarding a recent bicycle theft, police do have video of a suspect last seen stealing a bike from Avoca Jump ‘theft’ page 2
Crime Prevention Tips 1. Try always to find a friend to accompany you outside late at night. Even when planning to be just a short time. 2. Be mindful of your surroundings and place a safe distance between you and potential hiding places. 3. Report any and all suspicious people and incidents to the police immediately. Bike Theft Prevention Tips 1. Never leave your bike unlocked -- even for a minute. Take time to make sure your bike is properly secured. Secure the lock through the frame and both tires. 2. Don’t park in dark or infrequently traveled areas. 3. Remember locks are only a deterrent. Report all suspicious persons loitering around bike racks to police.
