Austin State University Page 6 SFA to play UCA in Southland Conference for Parents Day on Saturday. 65 H 69 By Bronwyn Pegues Contributing Writer At 4 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 24, the Cole Concert Hall was filled with chatter and laughter as the band set up on stage in preparation for its concert. The Lumberjack Marching Band held a program in the Cole Concert Hall in honor of the visit from Queen’s representatives, Robert Bone, his wife Geraldine Bone and Lord and Mayor Roger Bramble, who is the deputy lieutenant of Greater London. Dr. David Campo, SFA associte director of bands, began the program by welcoming the guests. He also provide more information to the band students on the upcom-ing trip to London, where the band will be playing in the London New Year’s Day Parade. “It’ll be the most amazing trip you’ve taken,” Campo said. His statement was met with a round of applause by the students. After giving his opening remarks, he introduced Robert Bone, the director of the London New Year’s Day Parade. Bone interacted with the students and made several jokes that were met with laughter. He then announced that the LMB will be the first band to perform in the parade which will consist of about 10,000 performers. The parade will be shown live on television. He also said that the LMB will be playing in the preview show at Trafalgar Square. “If you haven’t considered coming along, it’s worth the effort,” Bone said. He then introduced Lord Mayor Roger Bramble, the founder of the parade who also represents the queen of England for the parade. Bramble presented and read a large, framed invitation that invited the LMB to perform in the parade. Bramble also presented a glass trinket that was etched with images of some of London’s famous buildings and places. Before the band played a selection from their British Invasion set, which included music by artists such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Police, Phil Collins and One Direction, Campo introduced Anne Philips, wife of a former SFA professor, who had a scrapbook from a former music teacher. The teacher had collected news clips from when Queen Elizabeth II had first taken the crown at the turn of the century. The scrapbook was presented to the representatives who would take the scrapbook back to London. The band played, ending the presentation with the school song. The 27th London New Year’s Day Parade will start at 11:45 a.m. on Piccadilly at the junction with Berkeley Street out-side the Ritz Hotel, and it will finish around 3 p.m. at Parliament Street. There will be more than 10,000 perform-ers who will be representing 20 countries world-wide that will assemble for the 2013 parade. About three hours of Live Satellite Coverage can be seen on several channels. The channels that are expected to cover the event include the BBC, CNN, Fox News, SKY and CBS. “All of you are tremendously important to us,” Bone said. “You all will have an absolutely fantastic time in London. It’s the trip of a lifetime.” More information can be found about the parade at lnydp.com or through the London New Year’s Day Parade Facebook page. bpegues@thepinelog.com Big Dip tradition hits 10th year By Katelynn Wiggins Staff Writers Students with more than 60 hours have the opportunity to partici-pate in the Big Dip. During the ceremony, students walk across a stage dip their hand in a purple dye, shake President Baker Pattillo’s hand and re-ceive their class ring. Family and friends are invited to attend the Big Dip to support their SFA student. This ceremony occurs at the end of each semester. “I think it is a great growing tradition on campus,” Katy Crawford, assistant to the executive director of alumni affairs, said. “We are excited about it and hope that students want to continue.” The Big Dip is coordinated by the alum-ni association. It originated in the spring of 2002 as a way to build school spirit. Students must purchase a ring in order to participate in the Big Dip. Previously known as the “Mentor Ring,” SFA’s official class ring is now known as the “SFA Ring.” Previously, students had to purchase a ring in order to participate in the mentor-ship program offered by the alumni as-sociation. “(The mentorship program) is just a good way to connect,” Crawford said. “We match a student with an alum that shared the same major or who is in the field the student wants to work. It can be as great or as little as (the student) wants. They can help with resumes, job hunting or simple networking.” Now, any student is able to participate in the program. They do not need to pur-chase a ring to get those benefits. They no longer coexist, Crawford said. This year’s Big Dip ceremony is sched-uled for Friday, Nov. 30. SFA offers the opportunity for people other than students to receive the SFA Ring. The option of buying a graduate ring or a friend ring is available. The graduate ring is reserved for stu-dents who will graduate from SFA. That ring will sport the degree and graduation date in addition to the university’s name. The friend ring is designed for those who did not receive a degree from SFA but are loyal friends and supporters of the university. “Sandy Miller just retired from SFA. He is a great friend and has a friend ring,” Crawford said.” Miller is a two-time Hall of Fame athletics trainer. He retired after dedicating 31 years to SFA. While he did not receive a degree from SFA, he still got the SFA Ring. “(The SFA Ring) has pine cones in place of degree and grad year,” Crawford said. Parents and friends are also welcome to purchase an SFA Ring to show support. Rings can be customized with a variety of metals, stones and finishes. Balfour will have a ring sales event on campus from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 2 and 3. The SFA Ring must be purchased by Oct. 5 in order for the purchaser to participate in this fall’s Big Dip ceremony, Crawford said. Students may also purchase the SFA Ring in the alumni office. “The Big Dip ceremony is growing every semester. Each year we have a larger num-ber of students than before,” Crawford said. “We love to see alums and student swwearing their rings to symbolize their school spirit.” By Mackenzie Herring Contributing Writer After almost a month of recruit-ing and interviewing, Driving Jacks welcomed 41 new members this past weekend with heartfelt and honor-ary traditions. Driving Jacks is a nonjudgmental organization where “whoever needs a safe ride has access to one,” said Vice President Christian Gonzales. “To me, the traditions of our organi-zation, such as training and initia-tion, are what make being a member so special.” The process for new member ini-tiation is tedious to ensure the most suitable applicants get to be a part of the organization. It starts with two weeks of recruitment from a table outside the student center, where ap-plications and more information are available. This is followed by a week of interviews, conducted by certain officers to get to know the appli-cants’ personality, values, attitudes, and availability. After several meetings and discus-sions between the officers, the new members are chosen and must at-tend an all-day training to learn the history and become familiar with every aspect of the organization. The traditions continue the fol-lowing night with a new member scavenger hunt, the painting of the SFA Spirit Rock and the candle-light-ing ceremony. The candle-lighting ceremony is in honor of Amy Shields, the creator of Driving Jacks, who was killed by a drunk driver before the organization officially started. Once the new members light their candles, they’re given their lime green Driving Jack shirt, signifying their official membership. “When I first joined Driving Jacks it was too young to have these tradi-tions established, so to be able to see these traditions start, grow and im-pact each batch of new members is very heartwarming,” Gonzales said. The process of admitting new members with interviews is still rel-atively new, with changes evolving from the increased interest of stu-dents wanting to join. “Getting to show new members how passionate we officers are about being active in Driving Jacks and teaching them what it means to be one just makes us so proud that we have our hand in helping the fu-ture leaders of Driving Jacks grow,” Gonzales said. Driving Jacks traditions help welcome 41 new members Lumberjack Band hosts Queen’s representatives The newest Lumberjack tradition, Jacks’ Charge, gives SFA students the opportunity to run onto the football field with the team before SFA home games. Students wear purple and bring their axe handles to Spirit Rock (near Hall 20) at 5:30 p.m. before the game and then cheer SFA to victory from the Purple Haze section in the stands. The Jacks’ Charge at all remaining home games will be open to currently enrolled SFA students wearing purple and waving an axe handle. More than 1,000 freshmen participated in the inaugural charge on Sept. 1 and received a Jacks' Charge axe band to commemorate the event. At the game on Saturday the first 500 students at Spirit Rock will receive a Jacks' Charge t-shirt.
