  Financial Aid Awareness Day was held on campus Feb. 21. Staff members from SFA's Office of Student Financial Assistance gathered in the Baker Pattillo Student Center to hand out important financial literacy information and answer questions regarding financial aid. Volunteers also handed out goodie bags and assorted prizes.
  More than 600 students stopped by the booth, 575 of which entered into a drawing for two $500 scholarships. Scholarship winners, SFA students Sarah Robinson and Halea Mosby, were recognized Thursday in the Office of Student Financial Assistance. Photograph by Pine Log photographer Ronnie Chapman.

  For the first time, SFA's Student Recreation Center is offering spring pool memberships. These memberships would work well for those who would like to use the center's outdoor pool and courtyard without buying a full-facility membership. Courtyard amenities include sand volleyball courts, basketball courts and horseshoe pits.
  Individuals seeking membership must be current faculty and staff members, SFA students not enrolled during the current semester or members of SFA's Alumni Association. Family members are designated as those living in the same household.

  With a fifth-straight Southland Conference title out of the question, SFA's men's basketball team shifted its agenda Saturday in Johnson Coliseum to claiming the best possible seed for the upcoming Southland Conference Tournament. SFA seniors Dallas Cameron and CJ Williams also were honored Saturday during senior night.
  By using a hard-nosed defense coupled with a big-time rebounding edge and a complete team effort, the Lumberjacks were able to achieve a 64-56 win over Sam Houston State University.
  SFA's baseball team held leads in both games of its non-conference doubleheader at Washington State University, but the Cougars battled back each time, handing the Lumberjacks a pair of losses Sunday at Bailey-Brayton Field in Pullman, Washington.
  One successful inning by the Lumberjacks' offense was not enough to counter a set of Washington State hitters that put up runs in six frames.
  SFA's tennis team endured a difficult start in its opening week of Southland Conference play Saturday when the Ladyjacks dropped a 6-1 decision at Lamar University in Beaumont.
  SFA freshman Darinka Tiboldi secured SFA's only singles win of the match while sophomore Lauren Hidalgo-Smith and senior Denise Maxl each forced a third set.
  SFA's softball team completed its time in Missouri with a mid-morning game Sunday against the undefeated No. 4 University of Oregon at the Mizzou Softball Stadium in Columbia, Missouri. Oregon quickly put up five runs in the first two innings, but SFA's two solo homers saved the Ladyjacks from the five-inning run rule.
  SFA junior Taylor Fraccastoro led the day going 2-for-3 at the plate and tallied one run and one RBI from her solo homer in the fifth inning. Senior Brittany Lewis also scored a solo homer in the sixth. Lewis was 1-for-3 on the day with one run and one RBI. Despite hitting efforts, the Ladyjacks fell to Oregon, 8-2.
  After a nearly month-long hiatus, SFA's women's golf team will begin a busy March by heading south for the 2017 University of Texas Rio Grande Valley Invitational slated for today and tomorrow at the McAllen Country Club in McAllen.

  The concert, which will feature the world premiere of "Fantasy: Beyond the Forest" by SFA music competition student Kyle Henkel of Argyle, Texas, includes a program of music in which each piece tells a story of suspect and mystery, according to Dr. Gene H. Moon, director of orchestras at SFA. Henkel is the winner of this year's composition competition in SFA's School of Music.
  SFA's College of Fine Arts and School of Music will present the Choral Union and Women's Choir in concert at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in Cole Concert Hall on campus.
  The choirs will perform the program "Americana" highlighting works by American composers. An array of American styles, such as jazz, spirituals, Broadway and folk songs will be featured, according to Dr. Tod Fish, associate director of choral activities at SFA and the choirs' director.
