En defensa del idioma

Por Melissa Santillana A principios de este año me topé con una columna en El País, un periódico español, que escribió un hombre bastante molesto por que un partido político había mezclado dos idiomas en una oración. (¡Sacrilegio!). (more…)

Hablamos de feminismo

Por Crystal Vasquez El feminismo es visto en el siglo XXI como algo innecesario y un movimiento que debió acabarse porque después de todo los hombres y las mujeres tienen los mismos derechos, y el feminismo es solo la búsqueda de la mujer por ocupar el lugar del hombre. Bien esto es mentira ya el feminismo busca la igualdad de género, y ponerle fin al sexismo a la homofobia y la opresión que hoy en día aun existe. (more…)

Jesucristo Superestrella en Laredo Little Theater

Por Melissa Santillana La temporada del musical Jesucristo Superestrella ha finalizado, pero no sin haber dejado huella tanto en espectadores como en el elenco. La puesta en escena de éste musical opera rock de los 70s marcó experiencias inolvidables en al menos un docente y un tutor de Texas A&M International University (TAMIU) que audicionaron y fueron seleccionados como parte del elenco principal. La obra se presentó en el Laredo Little Theater durante dos fines de semana de marzo, justo antes de la Pascua. (more…)

Family “Game” Night

By Judith Menchaca Here in South Texas, we are known for our family traditions most of which are deep rooted in our history as cowboy culture. And it goes without saying that Webb County’s topography not only further nourishes our ranching traditions but it fosters a heaven for hunters of all kinds. Whether you choose the traditional white-tailed deer or mule deer, wild pigs/javalinas, bob cats, badgers, wild turkey, doves, etc., Laredo and all its’ surrounding beauty is more than enticing for the enamored. I personally can be placed among them. (more…)

Are Dustdevils Investing or Spending?

By Rodolfo Salinas As I walked worry-free I found myself wondering, how are other students spending their refund money? Honestly, I felt like a million dollars just because I had extra cash for the semester. However, I was still worried because I thought “Are students investing or spending their money?” (more…)

A Growing Problem in a Growing Community

By Kassandra Garza Since its inception in 1969, our school, Texas A&M International University, has grown in many different ways. Whether it is the addition of new subjects and departments or the rising population of students and faculty, TAMIU has long been considered a prime example of growth and development amongst the universities of Texas. Although our school has a sizable body of students living on-campus, a great many more people travel and commute to the university to take classes and/or work. Unfortunately, one of the problems TAMIU at the moment is the lack of adequate parking for much of the faculty and student populace. Whether it is finding a parking spot close to your classroom or just finding a place to park at all, this is a complication that continues to grow alongs...

TAMIU Food Culture

By Eloy Santa Cruz Food is one of the most essential items a human being requires, next to clothing and shelter. In today’s day and age, food has become as diverse as the word itself. From eel to hotdogs and even goat brains, food has always been an outlet in which individuals are able to showcase their creativeness and provide a window into their cultural backgrounds. In many cases, making food is considered an art, and many use this art platform to fur fill their goals. Whether it’s to build a multi-million-dollar corporation or establish a mom and pop’s type of restaurant, the use of food to accomplish something has been done for generations. One accomplishment that seems to be present with any type of food is the ability to provide a cultural experience through the taste palettes. ...

The Life of a Transnational Worker

By Stephanie Fimbres For the past six months, I have been working on a study for my thesis about transnational workers, which are "daily border crossers as they move between home and work." The purpose of this study is to examine their lives, specifically those who cross the border from Nuevo Laredo, Mexico to Laredo, Texas. I want to understand how they manage work and live in a different setting where they experience a different culture, and the struggles they face every day in order to find a balance between the two.

Women on Weights: Defying Gender Stereotypes

By Joy Davis When someone mentions weight training, most people think of an extremely buff male.  When you walk into a weight room, it is with the expectation that you will find the majority of people working out will be male.  Gender roles are deeply ingrained in our subconscious that we don’t even realize it. Women sometimes feel uncomfortable doing “manly” activities such as weight training for fear of judgement. Men, in most cases, picture their workouts with bench-presses, pull-ups, and push-ups. Being lean isn’t manly. It’s all about being big. (more…)
