Angelique Paccione
Texas State University's Alkek Library will be digitizing one-and-a-half million photographic negatives for its archives. Bobcat Update's Angelique (Ang-el-eek) Paccione (patch-ee-oh-nee) has more.
SU: Alkek Library recently received a 25-thousand dollar grant to help the University Archives department digitize photographic negatives of San Marcos' development.
The San Marcos Daily Record donated almost one-million negatives dating back to 1930 to University Archives in January. Along with Texas State's negatives, there are about one and a half million negatives to produce. University Archivist Kris Toma says this year's focus will be processing the Daily Record's images.
SB (1)
The grant helped the digital lab build its negative capture stations. The lab is also creating a new, faster scanning method that it will begin testing later this year. Once the project is completed, the digitized images will be available to students and the public on the university's archives Flickr account.

Viewers will have the opportunity to comment on the pictures and help write history. The images capture San Marcos' growth from dirt roads through today.

Gabriel Bermea
While thousands of people attended the A-C-L music festival this past weekend, many others chose to attend a different kind of festival. Here's Gabriel Bermea with the story
Miles away from any big city, the town of Utopia doesn't have a lot of loud activity, except for one weekend around this time of year. Utopiafest brings together families, festival culture and some amazing live acts.
SB
The festival, which is in its eighth year, takes place in the Four Sisters Ranch. In order to deter festival attendees from crowding the small town, the festival allowed free camping, various food vendors and the option to bring your own alcohol.
SB:
Utopiafest doesn't try bring in many big name artists, and instead focuses on a more comfortable and laid-back atmosphere. Total attendance at the event was about two-thousand people.
With no music overlap and two stages in the main campgrounds, it was hard to miss any of the live acts. Some noteworthy performers at the festival were Ratatat, Victor Wooten, and Chali2na from the group Jurassic 5. Most of the other bands were from Austin. Many attendees experienced something different from the large scale festivals.
SB
Many other activities were scheduled throughout the festival, including hiking, yoga, mountain biking, free happy hour and a silent disco that lasted all night. For Bobcat Update, I'm Gabriel Bermea

According to the website, student-loan-hero-dot-com, 2016 graduates are saddled -- on average -- with nearly 37-thousand-dollars in debt. Caitlin McDermott reports on how some students are coping.
In the U-S, student borrowers have taken out loans amounting to one-point-three trillion dollars -- that's right TRILLION. Many Texas State students acknowledge they're carrying their share of it.

If you're a singer but not enrolled in the School of Music, you can still have your voice be heard. Travis Tyler has the story in this Bobcat Update.
SU: It's right behind me inside Texas States music building where some of the most musical students and professors on campus can be heard. Among those, one student run organization where some talented individuals come together using only their voices to create a truly unique sound.
(NAT SOUND)
If you listen outside room one-twenty-two on a Tuesday or Thursday, chances are you'll hear the sweet sounds of The Echoes, one of Texas State's a capella vocal groups. Active since 2013, the group recruits singers from all over campus. It requires only basic singing skills and enthusiastic energy.
SB:
Last year the group competed in I C C A 's nationwide competition, and it advanced. The competition, which draws a cappella groups from across the U-S, is much like what you can see in the movie Pitch Perfect. Last year The Echoes placed fourth in the semi-finals and hopes to advance even further this year.

When not working on their competition set, members practice at local gigs around town and enjoy new experiences.

H-E-B operates two stores and a distribution center in San Marcos, and there are plans to build a third store at the corner of Wonder World Drive and Hunter Road. When it's opened, the new store will provide about 60-thousand-square-feet of additional retail space. For Bobcat Update, I'm Samuel Herbert.

The new setup is designed to provide a more relaxing environment. There are now lounge areas with couches, a food court and flat screen televisions.
