Ignorance isn’t always bliss, especially when it comes to parking rights. At Hender-son, this has become an issue after multiple tickets were written for two partially marked spots at the edges of the Foster Hall lot.

Handicapped parking spaces are intim-idating to most because the criterion for what identifies a handicapped space is not clear. Some spaces have signs and others are marked with paint on the ground. There are even some spaces that have both a sign and paint. Which one is correct?

John Mathus, assistant state maintenance director for the Arkansas Highway Depart-ment, revealed that there is not a city or state law governing the validity of a handicapped parking space. He disclosed that when the Arkansas Highway Department paves parking lots, they refer to the Americans with Disabil-ities Act, which explains how many spaces are required to be handicap in a lot and how they are to be properly identified.

Within this act is a subchapter labeled 27-15-315 that clearly spells out the requirements.

“Any of the following designations that are displayed on each parking space for per-sons with disabilities and visible to the driver’s eye level shall be enforced as provided under this subchapter and are regulatory in nature,” the document states.

Often, the rule that displays must be eye level to the driver is overlooked. Such is the case with the two spaces at Foster, three spac-es outside of Smith and several more scat-tered around campus.

The clause goes on to explain three true sign options that could be used to mark the spots that comply with the Manual on Uni-form Traffic Control Devices.

This means that spots that are only marked by the paint of the ground are not true hand-icap spots in the eyes of the ADA. Any busi-ness that has parking spots with only these markers are in violation of the act.

The Arkadelphia city police, Arkansas state police, Attorney General’s office, office of highway patrol and highway parking were all originally unable to explain what legally constitutes a parking space to be a handi-capped space. They were also unable to reveal the location of where to find the information.

As it stands now, the spaces in front of Foster all have painted symbols on the ground. Students that are not handicapped that wish to visit Foster for its other services have nowhere to park without receiving tick-ets for improper parking.

Since the two edge spaces are not legally reserved, six spaces that are properly identi-fied remain. Of those, four are occupied by

handicapped employees that work at Foster. Glendell Jones, president at Henderson,

has agreed to make sure each of the handi-capped spaces on campus complies.

School officials are unsure whether they will place signs or paint over the spaces in question but the confusion will be fixed.

In the meantime, Johnny Campbell, chief of campus police at Henderson, will not pe-nalize the students.

“Until it is done, there won’t be any conse-quences of having to pay fines from parking in an improperly marked handicap parking space,” Campbell said.

Out with the old, in with the new. The new police department has arrived.

The Henderson campus police have been moved from 25 Henderson St. to 805 N. 12th St.

Last summer, the old police department was removed due to structural problems and replaced by a new lawn for cosmetic purposes.

“I think it makes the nursing building more appealing. I love it.” Shelby Hintson, ju-nior nursing major, said.

The new headquarters are located across from the Smith parking lot at the top of the hill.

Some students have nicknamed the cam-pus police headquarters the “pink” building.

As there have been no talk of changes to the outer color of the building, Police Chief Johnny Campbell denies the headquarters as pink, but refers to the color as “peach.”

The “peach” house was bought by Hen-derson over the summer and remodeled with new flooring, paint and utilities.

“It’s nice, new and clean. All the students have noticed and say it’s wonderful,” Judy Hackworth, administrative specialist, said.

The new location of the Police Station will increase response time to the residence halls as it is now centrally located.

Campus police is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

They have authority to perform every task a normal police department would including common courtesies to the students such as unlocking and jumpstarting cars on campus.

“I hope students take the opportunity to know we are here to assist them. Our main purpose is to protect and serve,” Charles Dickerson, partrol officer said. “ We are here for them.”

Dilapidation causes campus police to move to new locationBY TIFFANY SAMUEL

5-O ON THE 12th

The fall semester has taken way and one issue on campus has become a major prob-lem. Henderson students and faculty face the parking wars on a day-to-day basis.

The lack of parking on campus is a prob-lem that only seems to grow worse each se-mester. As the population of students increas-es, the number of available parking spaces quickly become of higher demand.

“I was shocked with how quickly the parking lots filled up after move-in day,” said Cayden Quillin, freshman aviation major. “From then on, parking my truck around campus has been a bit of a challenge.”

For students and faculty that commute, it’s almost impossible to find a spot on one of the closer lots. Even students that live on campus have to take part in the parking wars.

One can’t even consider moving their ve-hicle from a decent parking spot in the mid-dle of the day without it being swiped almost instantly.

The construction seen day in and day out being done to campus also poses the question of where those residents will park their vehi-cles.

The new dorm that is supposed to be built behind the current BCM building is projected to house up to 300 students.

According to construction updates on the Henderson website, the university is in the process of finding areas for parking.

While the expansion of the university is something to be excited about, the idea of losing parking lots or having a higher demand for each spot on the heart of campus is con-cerning to many.

“Being a commuter, I already have a trou-blesome time finding an available spot, so I am afraid to imagine how hard of a time I will have as construction continues,” Haylee Peters, junior psychology major, said. “I tru-ly hope the university will build more parking structures to accommodate to the students

and staff. Accessibility is an important factor to me, so hopefully I will not have to walk a great distance and be exhausted coming to class every day.”

Students sometimes have to wait for a re-fund check to pay for a parking pass. Other times, they have to park in restricted zones just to be able to make it to class on time. Both events result in parking tickets and heavy fines that add up quickly.

“It’s unfair to charge a student who pays tuition for education $20 to $30 for a parking ticket. There are no warnings,” Sydney Turner, junior physical education major, said.

“If it’s charged to your HSU account, they add $10 and I feel like that’s absurd… It’s only because the university wants more money, as if they don’t have enough already,” Turner said.

At this point, students have no choice but to cooperate with the campus police and the current parking situation at hand. Purchasing a parking pass and staying away from restrict-ed zones is the best way to avoid any trouble for now.

Hopefully before long the issue will be re-solved and the number of parking tickets will decrease.

Much of the start of the new semester fo-cuses on the freshmen influx but this fall be-gan with an influx of a different kind.

There were 33 new additions to Hender-son by the time classes had begun.

Among these is Margo Duvall, assistant professor of photography.

Duvall came to Arkadelphia all the way from Santa Cruz, Calif., to improve the small-est subsection of the art department.

She grew up in Arkansas and had met the members of the art department before and she said she really connected with them.

Duvall said she always knew she wanted to teach.

She looks forward to working with her col-leagues and has high hopes for her classes.

Duvall aims to help students explore their options within the arts in photography.

She hopes that she can teach her students

to do high quality photography.Being an assistant professor of photogra-

phy, Duvall said she wanted to stir interest in the subject in Henderson.

There is currently not a photography ma-jor within the department. Students are re-quired to fulfill the degree for studio or digital arts.

“I hope that I can open students’ eyes to photography as a medium,” Duvall said. “To me it was life changing and I want to share that.”

Small Works on Paper (SWOP) which is a very competitive juried art exhibition. It shows art no bigger than 24 inches X 24 inch-es made by Arkansas artists.

This art showcase is only for Arkansas res-idents who qualify and meet the Arkansas Art Council requirements according to the Arkan-sas Art Council website.

The artist’s work is displayed and put on sale for the price that the artist is asking. A juror-selected purchase award can reach up to $2000, which will also be a part of the SWOP permanent collection.

Houston Fryer, a 24-year-old senior, and an art major was one of the many people cho-sen for his wonderful talent and amazing art pieces along with Claire Cade who is also an art major at Henderson.

“They accept some and they deny some. It’s a juried exhibition,” Fryer said.

The art pieces that are chosen by the Ar-kansas Art Council are put up for exhibition for a whole year. They tour the state of Ar-kansas the entire year and the artist gets rec-ognition for their piece.

“The best part of being accepted is that I’m a student and that I beat some of my pro-fessors,” Fryer said.

Some of the cities where these pieces are shown are the Arts & Science Center for Southeast Arkansas in Pine Bluff, at Arkan-sas Tech University in Russellville, and various other places. SWOP will be coming to Arka-delphia, to Ouachita Baptist University Mon-day, Oct. 6-24. The time will be announced.

Fryer is very excited for the show to be coming to Arkadelphia.

“It’ll be at OBU and I pretty much plan to go over there and rub it in their face,” Fryer said.

Fryer was very pleased to announce that only Henderson students made it into SWOP and that he entered again this year and he hopes to get accepted once again.

“They will be there to observe our glori-ous work and wallow in self-pity,” Fryer said

Fryer made it clear that he is proud to be one of the 37 applicants who were accepted to SWOP.

He said that in the future when he goes out and looks for careers in the art world that people will be impressed because he has an exhibiting past.

He has been in various shows such as the nationwide juried exhibition in El Dorado, Ark., where he showed a rose and got best in show.

In the SWOP showcase he made an 18 inch X 24 inch tall charcoal drawing of his mother titled “A Mother’s Stare” which was sold for the listed price of $250.

“You can’t win something that you don’t enter for,” Fryer said. “It’s as simple as that.”

SWOP’s next stop is at OBU, Monday, Oct. 6-24 and it will end in Texarkana, Texas, at the Regional Arts & Humanities Council Nov.6-26.

On Aug. 9 a young man named Michael Brown was shot and killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Mo.

This event caused weeks of civil unrest, not only in Ferguson, but all over America as well.

This tragic event, along with many others like it, have caused many citizens to question if police officials can be trusted to uphold the law without causing death or severe injuries.

Are certain police tactics too dangerous? On April 28, a cop in Knox County, Tenn. was immediately fired after photos of him using a chokehold to subdue a student were released.

The cop, Frank Philips, grabbed student, Jarod Dotson by the neck and choked him un-til he fell to his knees.

Philips and other officers were called to investigate a reported disturbance at a house party near the University of Tennessee.

It was there that Philips and other officers

got into an altercation with Dotson and they proceeded to arrest him.

The incident in question officially oc-curred when Philips grabbed Dotson’s neck and choked him despite that Dotson was al-ready handcuffed.

Techniques like the ones used by Philips are taught to officers in order to subdue peo-ple resisting arrest.

But is it necessary to use it on someone whose hands are cuffed behind their back?

Simply put, no, it’s not. Those chokeholds aren’t supposed to be

used to violently attack anyone. They’re used to protect the officer and

subdue whoever is fighting with them. Dotson couldn’t exactly put up a decent

fight when his hands are cuffed and another officer was holding him from behind.

While the chokehold Dotson put on him only dropped him to his knees, some people

receive much worse. Along with the Mike Brown incident, another story of a man killed by a police officer has been on our minds.

Eric Garner, 43, died on July 17 when a police officer kept him in a chokehold. Garner was allegedly selling cigarettes illegally.

The case was declared a homicide and is currently under investigation.

Just four days before this controversial in-cident, Ronald Singleton, 45, was also killed when a police officer put him in a chokehold.

These two incidents, along with Mike Brown’s death, have all happened within the past two months.

It’s not just chokeholds either. Some people have been injured and killed

through various methods used by police offi-cers who sometimes take things too far.

It makes one wonder just how incidents like this can just keep happening in this age.

Some people have been so outraged by these events, they’ve begun protesting in the streets and voicing their opinion wherever they can.

Many in Ferguson began rioting and loot-ing in response to the death of Mike Brown.

Rioting and looting isn’t the answer to these events, but it’s not surprising that people are so outraged at what has happened.

Because all three victims have been Afri-can-Americans, many have been asking if the incidents are race related.

It doesn’t even seem that it’s because of race anymore.

It seems that it’s because of police officers who don’t know how to do their jobs correct-ly.

And because of these inept police officers, good, hard-working police officers who un-derstand the law are getting a hard time.

Being a police officer is one of the tough-est professions in the world, but it’s even tougher when people don’t trust you because they’re scared the same thing that happened to those three victims might happen to them.

No one should have to fear the police for any reason and police officers that commit acts of violence need to be charged for their crimes.

The police, for the most part, can be trust-ed. People who actively put themselves at risk for the good of their community generally are trying to do the right thing.

But if there’s one person that can’t be trusted, it’s someone that thinks aggressive violence is the key to solving any problem, police officer or not.

It was a record-breaking performance for Henderson State as the Reddies opened the 2014 season with a 72-7 beating of Southern Nazarene, Saturday in Bethany, Okla.

The No. 8 Reddies broke several Great American Conference and Henderson State university records including scoring 59 points in the first-half.

All-American and Harlon Hill candidate Kevin Rodgers only played the first-half and completed 27-of-36 passes for 408 yards and a HSU and GAC record-tying seven touchdown passes.

Rodgers ties his own record set in 2012 against McKendree.

Rodgers went over the 300-yard plateau for the 20th time.

The product of Rockwall, Texas went over the 400-yard mark for the 10th time in his 31 game career.

“It was a great team effort and the offense was just clicking from the start,” said Rodg-ers. “There are a couple of things we have to clean up, but the offensive line did a great job up front and our receivers ran great routes all night.”

The GAC and Henderson State University all-time leading receiver Darius Davis also set a record with five touchdown receptions hav-ing 10 catches for 217 yards in two quarters of play.

The senior from Frisco, Texas had a 58-yard touchdown reception on the second play of the game, followed by a 10-yard score later in the opening quarter.

Davis scored three consecutive times in the second quarter having catches of 36, 45 and 11 yards.

“Coach put together a good scheme and prepared us well for this game,” said Davis. “Kevin is great quarterback and he puts it right in our pocket every time.”

A total of 10 different players had recep-tions including Joseph Snapp who had five catches for 86 yards.

Snapp had a 36-yard reception for a touch-down to end the first quarter.

Mark Czaus picked up his first collegiate

touchdown reception with a 20-yard catch midway through the first quarter.

The junior from Garland, Texas had three catches for 47 yards.

Dallas Hardison took over duties at quar-terback to begin the second-half, while most of the first team watched the remainder of the game from the sideline.

The sophomore from Bentonville com-pleted 8 of 12 passes for 156 yards.

Hardison connected with Dustin Holland for a 28-yard score, and also hit a wide-open Adrian Tucker who broke free for 82 yards to record his first collegiate touchdown.

Tucker ended the game with three recep-tions for 100 yards.

The Reddies ended the game with 661 yards of total offense including 584 passing yards.

Rodgers and Hardison combined for nine touchdown passes which set a new GAC re-cord.

Henderson’s defense was equally impres-sive allowing Southern Nazarene just 277 yards of offensive, while recording five sacks, two interceptions and a pair of fumble recov-eries.

Donovan McLeod had five tackles includ-ing a pair of tackles for lost yardage, while Jonathan Edouard added five tackles as well.

Gary Vines had a 35-yard interception return to set up a Jaquan Cole 3-yard score, with Cameron Deveraux also having a 29-yard interception which later resulted in a 10-yard touchdown pass from Rodgers to Davis in the game.

“We played well for our first game, but there are still several things we need to work on,” said Reddie coach Scott Maxfield. “An-other good thing was that all 60 players got in the game and all got significant playing time which will help us as the season continues.”

Henderson State University will next travel to Thibodaux, La. to face Division I FCS op-ponent Nicholls State University on Saturday with kickoff set for 6 p.m.

The game is going to be televised by CBS Sports Network Game of the Week.

NAILED IT

SEPTEMBER 9, 2014

The Henderson Reddies football team is more than prepared and excited for their first home game and it is not because they are wait-ing to go beyond a “three-peat” this year.

They are ready for CBS Sports Network Game of the Week to be broadcasting their game on their own field.

“I think playing for CBS Game of the Week on national television is a great oppor-tunity to show the nation how hard we have all worked, for the guys to show what division two competition is all about and the university as a whole and the exposure benefits everyone including athletics and for school attendance,” Robert Espinoza, former Reddie football play-er and assistant coach, said.

The pressure of being back to back con-ference champions the past two years is less intimidating and more motivation.

“I think we got experience offensively. They are battle tested and ready to go. The seniors on defense are pushing to go further than just conference champions, they want to be national champions. We have got to get over that hump, coaches as well, and I believe this is the year to do so especially with the leadership and when everyone ‘buys in,’” Es-pinoza said.

For most, being in a spot light would be hard to handle, but having a team to support one another and a community that is there to cheer the Reddies on makes these young men feel more equipped for this one game in par-ticular.

“It feels great to be on the national stage. It is a big opportunity to represent for not only Henderson State University but for the entire Arkadelphia community. As a team

we’ve worked hard to propel this program to the championship level that we are at now, so this opportunity is going to allow us a chance to showcase all of our hard work and dedica-tion,” Cameron Deveraux, senior cornerback and physical education major, said.

Three times a charm is something this team is grasping by the reins and taking every moment to capture this national title. Being aired on national television is a big motivator.

“Excitement with the pursuit of a “three-peat” conference championship as well as winning the national championship. We’ve got some nerves buzzin’ with the young guys who haven’t been exposed to the pressure. After a few games under their belt, we’ll see them suc-ceed and excel,” Darius Davis, redshirt senior wide receiver and general studies major, said.

The Red Zone and all the fans, faculty and students that come near and far to support makes the difference between a good game versus an amazing game.

“The fan support since I have become a Henderson State Reddie has been awesome but I’m sure it’s going to go to an even higher level this year. As a team we take pride in being Reddies and for us to know the faculty and

student body are behind us for support is even extra motivation,” Deveraux said.

Quotes have always been a great way to inspire most and express an emotion that oth-erwise would be drawn out. These quotes have helped this coach and these players through their years now and many to come with the sport they participate day in and day out.

“’Without hard work, there is no progress.’ That is something I’ve always felt is the one way to achieve greatness,” Davis said.

With no hesitation Espinoza could not ex-press how much these days of hard work will soon be paid off for him, his staff and this schools team.

“Read my paper weight, I don’t know who said it but I love that quote ‘Those who run with a purpose reach their goal first,’” Espi-noza said.

Espinoza and the Henderson community would all agree that the Reddies have definitely been the essence of the anonymous quote as the football squad looks forward to another Conference Championship and beyond this season. Henderson’s first nationally televised matchup against the Southeastern Oklahoma State Savage Storm will be 7 p.m. Sept. 18.

HI MOM, I’M ON TV

With the 2014-2015 school year final-ly upon us, athletes are preparing to take to their respective fields and courts to participate in Henderson’s many sports programs. One team, however, is taking their talents to the wa-ter. The anglers on the Henderson State Fish-ing Team, led by their adviser Ernie Higgs and President Theron Asbery, are already gearing up for their upcoming season which is set to start next spring and go through the summer.

“There is no other sport like fishing,” As-bery, junior business marketing major, said, “You can go out there one day and really catch them and then the next day there is not a fish to be found.”

After ranking second in the state and 48thh out of 844 teams in the nation this past year, the team is looking to start the season with their heads held high.

“With all the competition we have to go up against, it’s humbling to finish that strong

in the state of Arkansas and at the National level,” Drew Rabb, senior physical education major, said, “hopefully we can build upon that this coming year.”

The team has several regular season events where they work to qualify for Conference Championships and then they attempt to qual-ify for Nationals.

College bass fishing is a sport not sanc-tioned by the NCAA but by the Bassmaster College organization, FLW Outdoors College organization and the BoatUS Collegiate Bass Fishing Championship. It does not have di-visions and all of the colleges in the U.S. that have fishing programs are looked at the same.

Although there are not divisions in the world of college bass fishing, there are con-ferences and the Henderson Fishing Team is classified as a part of the southern conference by all three of the organizations that represent the sport.

The anglers compete for cash prizes at tournaments and the prizes can range any-where from $1,000 to $25,000 depending on the size of the tournament. If the team does win money at a tournament it goes into the pockets of the anglers that won it.

“Our team is made up of 13 anglers and is continuing to grow,” Asbery said. Five of the 13 members on the team own boats for the team to use during their tournaments.

Although they receive funding from the university to travel and compete in tourna-ments, around 90 percent of the teams’ ex-penses are paid out of pocket.

The team has participated in tournaments in Arkansas and they have travelled to and taken part in tournaments in states all over the south such as Tennessee, Missouri, Tex-as, Oklahoma, Kentucky and South Carolina. They’ve even competed in some tournaments outside of the southern region of the country.

Henderson’s Fishing Team has several sponsors who help them out with product and product discounts. These sponsors include Powell Rods, Lews Reels, Freddies “Set Me Free” Lure Retriever, Bass Mafia tackle, Navi-onics, Save Phase and Frogg Toggz.

“I joined this team because I’ve always en-

joyed fishing and I was trying to get into clubs and organizations when I came to HSU,” Ben Parnell, freshmen social science major, said, “I hope that in the spring I’ll be able to travel to a few tournaments and represent HSU well.”
