Campus carry is still a controversial issue at Texas State -- a year after the law went into effect on campus. Bobcat Update's Ashley Simpson has more.
The law allows individuals with a concealed handgun license to carry weapons on campus. Some students are concerned about the law and how it might affect campus safety. Texas State President Denise Trauth says administrators are aware of the issues and want to continue a dialogue with the campus community about concealed carry.
SB
President Trauth said in a statement that the university may change where designated gun-free locations are on campus. Currently, concealed carry is prohibited in such places as the Child Development Center and the L-B-J Student Center. Proposals have been made to add faculty offices and testing centers to that list.
SB
Not everyone sees campus carry as a threat. There are varying perspectives when it comes to the law.
SB

Students who commute to classes at Texas State have some issues to contend with when they arrive on campus. Bobcat Update's Scott Stutzman has more.
The semester has just started, and, already, students are encountering a problem -- the lack of parking. Part of the issue is constant construction, which reduces the number of available parking spaces.
SB
Parking lots fill up quickly on campus. That's bound to happen at a university where there's high enrollment and a lot of construction. The university's shuttle service helps, but even it falls short, according to some students.
SB
The parking issues at Texas State won't be alleviated anytime soon. Finding ways to campus that don't involve a car seem to be best alternative for the time being. For Bobcat Update, I'm Scott Stutzman.

A Texas State organization is stepping up to raise donations for victims of Hurricane Harvey. Bobcat Update's Ashley Ruiz has more.
Tents line the Quad as new and old Bobcats make their way to class. However, one tent in particular sticks out. Under it is a simple box with a sign reading 'Hurricane Harvey donations'. The Texas State Quidditch team is hoping to make a difference.
[SB] Tess Acosta, public relations
Acosta says the team would like to have donations of baby food, canned food, diapers, blankets and toiletry items.
[SB] Acosta
Former team captain Clayton Carlisle is from Houston. He says his family is lucky. Since their house is on a hill, the family experienced little damage. The main issue now is being able to get out of the neighborhood.
[SB] Carlisle
The Texas State Quidditch team will be out in the quad all week collecting donations. If you miss them there, they'll still accept donations through September 6th at 7 o'clock when they meet at Derrick Hall. For Bobcat Update, I'm Ashley Ruiz.

Jackie Lang
Last fall Texas State dismissed four fraternities after a Greek member was found dead following one of its gatherings. Bobcat Update's Jackie Lang tells us more.
The death of freshman Jordin Taylor [WHEN?] cast a shadow on Greek organizations at Texas State. Fraternity and sorority members seek to new people, make connections, and give back to the community. They'd rather be known for their achievements rather than harm coming to one of their own.
SB- Caroline Van Nuis (Chi Omega)
Greeks encourage students to watch out for one another. Safety is an important issue.
SB- Fouad Ali (Mu Sigma Nu)
Students who are interested in Greek life are encouraged to stop by the booths that fraternities and sororities set up on the Quad this time of year. Or they can visit the Greek Affairs page on the Texas State website. For Bobcat Update, I'm Jackie Lang.

Some Texas State students are still adjusting to the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. Charles Mays has more in this Bobcat Update.
Hurricane Harvey, initially a Category 4, was one of the biggest storms to hit the United States in over a decade. After moving to other parts of Texas, the storm was downgraded to a Category 1, but still brought heavy winds and extensive flooding. Some students experienced the storm first-hand.
SB
Texas State President Denise Trauth sent an email last Thursday afternoon cancelling classes and other activities for the following Monday to ensure the safety of the students and faculty. The sudden cancellation affected many students schedules and plans.

Veronica Vergara
Students who use the new crosswalk on East Sessom Drive have reason to feel safer. Bobcat Update`s Veronica Vergara has more on the story.
With countless students commuting to campus, this additional crosswalk is an improvement for pedestrian traffic to and from the University.
SB
However, not everyone is convinced the changes at the crosswalk make it safer.
SB
Unlike the traditional intersection traffic light system, this crossway is strictly for pedestrian traffic. Yellow yield lights flash to warn drivers to slow down and prepare to stop for students crossing, yet some drivers seem unfamiliar with the new stop.
SB
It`s recommended that drivers using East Sessom Drive familiarize themselves with the changes and be mindful of classmates crossing the street. For Bobcat Update. I'm Veronica Vergara.

The use of drones is becoming more common. Journalists now use them as do many people who fly them as a hobby. Bobcat Update's Quinlan Crowell tells us more.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, better known as drones, were for a long time used mainly by the military. However, smaller, lighter drones are now being mass produced and sold retail, so just about anyone can get their hands on one.
SB
Media outlets have been using drones to cover major events, such as concerts, parades and even floods.
SB
To safely and legally fly a drone, new pilots must pass a government-mandated course that trains them on how and where to fly.
