Austin State University Page 6 Ten-run inning vaults SFA past Nicholls State for first conference win of the year. WEDNESDAY H By Courtney Schmidt Staff Writer The S.A.V.E. coalition of Nacogdoches had its last meeting of March before its first event for Sexual Assault Awareness Month in April on Friday, March 22, in the Health Clinic conference room. According to the U.S. Department of Justice’s National Crime Victimization Survey, over 200,000 victims, age 12 or older, were sexually as-saulted in 2011, and that every two minutes, some-one in the U.S. is sexually assaulted. Standing for Sexual Assault and Violence Education, the coalition leader, Joyce Pitts, Primary Prevention Coordinator, lead the discussion on past events, such as the Whataburger Fundraiser, where twenty-five percent of the proceeds went to the coalition, as well as future events in April. “This is a wonderful way to get the community in-volved in taking a stand By Courtney Schmidt Staff Writer For the first time since 2008, SFA’s Sylvan Forestry Club took home a first place trophy in the Southern Forestry Conclave competition in Auburn, Alabama, on Friday and Saturday, March 15 and 16. This year was the 56th annual Conclave. With a total of 18 students, the Sylvans competed against 13 other schools, all from southern states with events ranging from both the technical and physical aspect of forestry. “Basically the technical events are things we could potentially do in a job or learn in class,” Grant Korbel, senior forestry wildlife management and Sylvan member, said. “The physical events evolve from traditional lumberjack jobs.” Technical events include photogrammetry, wood technology, diameter breast height estimation, com-pass and pacing, dendrology and timber estimation. Physical events include crosscut, bow saw, pole climb, archery, knife throw, axe throw, log roll, birling and underhand chop. Caleb Murray, senior, said in a previous story, “It’s just kind of like a livelihood. This is how East Texas got to be the way it is. This is where we’ve made our mark as forestry, and it’s a passion really.” With this new win, the Sylvan team will be more than excited to arrive at next year’s annual event at Virginia Tech and even more so when it is SFA’s turn to host the big event in 2017. By Emily Jensen Staff Writer On March 18, students and faculty became aware of meal plans and dining dollars being reset due to a missing piece of code. Stores stopped accepting dining dollars and Jack Bucks, but as of March 22, the pro-gram is back to running its correct course. On March 9, the beginning of Spring Break, a new computer program was put in place that would help secure residence halls. The program was designed to tell the computer that students are no longer entering their halls. When students returned from Spring Break the program was switched plans. a t tempt e d to fix it, and on Tuesday night I was called and they said, ‘We don’t Center, said. to stop accepting dining dollars. A step was left out of the program that caused the meal plans to be reset. There was no command to tell the computer to leave meal plans alone, and if that had been done on both programs, this would not have happened. “I know we’ve had an I.D. system here for about 37 years,” Smith said. “To the best of my knowledge, this is the first time this has happened.” As of March 22, Smith received clarification that all students’ meal plan assignments had been reinstated. As for students who had dining dollars on March 9 and used some of them when the program got reset, the balances have been deducted appropriately. “The next part of what I did was to issue instructions to begin accept-ing dining dollars,” Smith said. “Everybody should be able to go in to any cash register and acquire their balance.” Students should now be able to use their dining dollars at the loca-tions on campus, and the balance they have now is of the balance they had March 9, minus the added spending they did March 18 and 19. As for the students who did not have dining dollars before March 9 but spent the money when the system reset, Smith said there is no solution at this time. “It was imperative to restore all of those people that did have money in the system,” Smith said. “[For] hose people that do not have money in the system we did not keep their toll, and what to do about that has not been decided.”T he ac-c e p t i n g any thing v e n t e d their frus-trations to Facebook a n d O n e junior theater major, said. “I’m glad they got it fixed, but for a while, it was really frustrating.” However, not all students were affected by the reset. It’s unclear why some students had their meal plan reset while others didn’t, and Smith is unaware of anyone living off campus who was affected by the reset. “I’m upset I didn’t get the opportunity to spend money that wasn’t mine,” Jason Collins, a senior music education major, said. Meal plans should now be back to normal, but any students wishing to share their opinion about the issue may send a letter to the editor for consideration to be run in the next issue. Send letters to hcole@ thepinelog.com. ejensen@thepinelog.com By John Cleveland Staff Writer It’s that time of year again when students strap empty holsters to their waists in protest of state laws banning the carry of concealed weapons on college campuses. SFA founded its first chapter of the Students for Concealed Carry on Campus three weeks ago, just in time for the annual Empty Holster Protest that is held April 8-12 on campuses across the nation. The SCCC is a national organization that believes campuses would be safer if students with concealed handgun licenses were allowed to carry their guns to class. There are currently around 200 schools across the nation that allow concealed carry on campus. One of their mottos for this year’s demonstration is: “prepared, not paranoid.” Josh Brown, founder and president of SFA’s chapter of the SCCC and a junior criminal justice major, said he hopes the event raises awareness of the campus gun control issue. “We’re defending our right to defend ourselves,” Brown said. “We appreciate everything the campus police do, but they can’t be every-where all the time.” To be a part of the protest, students simply wear an empty gun holster on their waist as they conduct their on-campus business. The empty holster represents the defenseless state the government has left students in.
