International Film Festival encourages dichotomous thinking

There’s nothing like sitting back and immersing yourself in a good film. Empathizing and identifying with the characters can provide excellent cathartic relief and can promote critical thinking about the topic at hand. The International Film Festival hosted at Texas State University, coordinated by TXST Professor of French Dr. Carole Martin and TXST Associate Professor of Digital History Dr. Louie Valencia, includes film showings and discussions that started on Feb. 19 and will end in a symposium on March 7. There is also a concurrent art exhibit at the Joann Cole Mitte Flex Gallery that was curated by TXST Professor of Studio Art Joey Fauerso. The theme for this year’s event is Celebrity: Between Fame and Infamy.

The Rotary Club of San Marcos held the now annual Casino Night fundraiser on Friday night. While all accounts have not yet been totaled, Rotary Club President Peter Baen said he believes both the Casino Night and the diamond ring raffle fundraisers 'passed all forecasts.' The majority of funds raised will be donated to Court Appointed Special Advocates of Central Texas, which helps train advocates for children in the child welfare system. The event was held at the Commemorative Air Force CenTex Wing at the San Marcos Airport amidst multiple World War II planes. Pictured above is San Marcos City Councilmember Matthew Mendoza rolling the dice at the craps table situated under the nose of 'That's All Brother,' the C47 airplane that led the D-Day invasion in World War II.

Can Aqua Texas supply enough water without overpumping?

“Aqua is a utility regulated by the Public Utility Commission. They have a permit to pump groundwater from the Groundwater District, with terms and conditions which Aqua agreed to abide by,” Jim Blackburn, who is President of the Trinity Edwards Spring Protection Association and a Professor in the Practice of Environmental Law at Rice University, said while outlining the essential issues from the viewpoint of the Groundwater District and TESPA. “They pumped more water than they were permitted and they have major leaks within the system that add to the violation.”
