WTAMU placed second at the National Student Advertising Competition (NSAC) in Shreveport, La.
Districts were divided into two different areas and WT went up against Texas Tech, Midwestern State, Oklahoma State University, Texas State and Texas A&M. Texas A&M took first place followed by WT and Texas State was in third. About 24 teams from several different places competed in the competition.
“[Texas A&M’s] ability to research and all the resources they had gave them the upper edge,” Julia Greif, speaker for the Buffalo Advertising team, said. “It turns out that we were one point behind Texas A&M. We rehearsed so many times and were told that we were the team to beat.”
Greif was also a part of the creative team with Carlos Aguirre, an Advertising and Public Relations major. Aguirre worked mainly on the design of the campaign. Continue reading

A group of students called the WTagchat meet to discuss agriculture and informational topics as they become more popular.
This forum is open to all students, even those that are not based in agriculture. The group was created by Reba Underwood, a junior studying Agriculture Media Communications.
“I wanted a forum where Ag students and non-Ag students can come together and figure ways to engage consumers as well as producers and those who have a farm background,” Underwood said.
Haley Sprague, a junior Agriculture Communications major, attended the lunch group which takes place every Thursday at noon in various locations. Continue reading

The Nance Ranch Feedlot Research unit in the Department of Agriculture and Natural Science gives students and professors the ability to research the cattle feeding industry in ruminant nutrition, management and animal health.
Dr. Michael Brown, professor of Ruminant Nutrition and Management, said they have a well-equipped research team.
“We have about six to eight people working in the research program at the WTAMU feedlot that consists of undergraduates, graduate students and full-time employees,” Dr. Brown said.
The current study involves liquid feed containing many levels of corn-condensed distillers from an ethanol industry. The goal is to assess the nutritional value of condensed soluble. Researchers are observing protein and energy value contained in the feed. Continue reading
Circle K will be raising money for tetanus vaccines through an event called ‘The Race to Eliminate,’ which will take place on March 24.
“It’s a disease that is present in third world countries that kills a child every nine seconds,” said Abby Walker, President of Circle K. “The vaccinations are provided for people in the United States, but those in third world countries do not have this privilege.”
It costs $1.80 to provide a mother with three doses of the vaccination which will give her and her children a safe living environment. Kwanzaa International, the organization which houses Circle K, is planning to raise $115 million by 2015. Continue reading

WTAMU Student Government sponsored a Q&A in the JBK featuring University President Dr. Patrick O’Brien on Feb. 27. The purpose of the event was for Dr. O’Brien to address students’ questions concerning the future of the University.
Questions ranged from topics about construction on campus to parking concerns.
“I think it went well, there were a lot of questions asked. It was very informative and we learned a lot of neat stuff,” said Student Body Vice President Nick Goettsche.
However, the biggest issues were not the questions asked but the planning behind the event. The Facebook event created for the Q&A had it scheduled for Feb. 29. However, on the morning of Feb. 27, the time was changed.
“There was no miscommunication,” said President Dr. Patrick O’Brien. “It’s been on my calendar for today for weeks and I think what happened is the notice did not go out.”
Some students were upset at the change and voiced their displeasure on the event page. Continue reading
