To give fraternities a more professional connotation, the word “frat” is being used less, while “fraternity” is being used more, and instead of saying “pledges,” the young men are called associates until they are initiated into the fraternity, then they are called brothers. “Our goal is to move Greek life towards a more positive outlook,” and these replacements are being used to change the negative stereotypes of “frat boys.” The whole purpose of a fraternity, or “brotherhood” is to create “noblemen for the future,” says Paul.

This year, after bid day, Sigma Tau

Gamma had 18 bids through recruitment. By the end of recruitments, three associates were initiated.

To get their group member numbers up, Sigma Tau hosted open bids where they recruited two more associates who both were initiated. Once associates are initiated and become brothers, they pick an older brother to be their “big brother.”

“Big brothers” are supposed to help mentor their “littles” and help them develop just like a biological brother would do. Along with everything else he does, Paul has also been chosen by Hagen Tidball to be his “big” and continues to be a role model for many.

Board games for older people

Story by Alisha Davis Student Reporter

Cards Against Humanity is “a party game for horrible people.”

What is the best way to have a little fun and unwind after a long day of classes? Having a game night with friends is a great answer.

College can be stressful. Don’t be

afraid to take a night off from Huie and your studies to actually enjoy your college experience.

When I suggest a game night, I am in no way telling you to grab three friends and play a four hour game of monopoly. You’re in college now so age appropriateness goes out the window when it comes to board games. This greatly widens the variety of games you are able to play.

Highly rated board games for college students: - Cards Against Humanity: A party game for horrible people

- Scrawl: Terrible drawings, ridiculous guesses - Bucket of Doom: The death dodging party game - Truth Bombs: The explosively honest party game - What Do You MEME?: A millennial card game for millennials and their millennial friends Ever played Apples to Apples?

Cards Against Humanity is an adult version. Scrawl starts out as a completely innocent game, but the direction is takes is all about how the players interprets each other’s drawings.

Bucket of Doom is a hilarious scenario game, the winner is often the player with the best imagination.

Truth Bombs allows you to answer some crazy, even personal questions about your friend’s honesty. Last but defiantly not least, What Do You MEME? is the perfect game for college students of today, it is made up of the most popular MEMEs on social media.

Grab a couple friends and have yourselves a great college level game night.

Dream a little dream Story by Ashley Smith News Editor

First, there were Dreamers. Then Dreamers became doers because of a program that allowed them very limited benefits while living in the states. That program is DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, and was announced to end in March of this year if Congress doesn’t agree on a solution.

With upwards of 690,000 people enrolled in DACA, those same people anxiously wait to see what happens to them in March as their fate is decided.

Gissel Torres is one of those people. Brought on a tourist visa to the states by her parents at six months, they were ready to build a house and start raising their family. A very similar dream to what other immigrants envisioned once they reached American soil.

The choice of where to go once they got here was simple: her mother’s grandfather had been contracted with a forest company to work here six months out of the year, though his family remained in Mexico.

At age five, her tourist visa expired, and they went back to Mexico to renew it. Until the age of fifteen, she was legally in the country.

Gissel learned English with her classmates.

Her Hispanic heritage was the least of their worries, until at 16 she was reminded that she was not a citizen. With everyone around her getting a driver’s license, it was

Even though she had everything a person could need to apply, not being a citizen prevented her from doing receiving any aid. Loans weren’t even an option.

Her only options were pay for college out of pocket or not go.

Once she graduates, depending on the DACA decision, a loan for a home or a job may even be out of the question because of lack of social security.

“I busted it to get good grades for scholarships, only to get denied because I’m considered a person that’s not supposed to be here,” Torres said. “People think we’re taking their rights from them, but we’re not because we can’t.”

THe Delph & Beyond

The Oppression of Men vagina and comparing it to her own. ...And yet the same glazed Tunnel, layered sequences.

She is three; that makes this Innocent. We’re pink!

She shrieks, and bounds off…

After the reading, a woman spoke. “She added the part that goes She is three; that makes this innocent for males,” she said.

“And it’s sad that she needed to say that.” Then another woman added “Yes it is. It’s sad that males have to be told ‘Don’t look at my child as a sex object.’”

In pointing the finger of pedophilia at the entire male gender, those women became the very thing they were fighting, sexists.

“Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster. For when you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.”

-Friedrich Nietzsche Neither woman saw the irony, but I did. “Don’t be so quick to point the finger at males!” I said.

Then the professor intervened.

“We deserve it, though.” He said.

He’s one of my favorite teachers and I didn’t want to start a fiery debate in his class so I said no more, but that stuck in my craw. “We deserve it.”

That’s not quite right, is it? The only way we’d deserve it is if all men were pedophiles.

No, we don’t deserve it. In my experience, however, those who speak up tend to be silenced as quickly as possible. Those women’s words are acceptable in our society, but they’re nothing less than sexism, bigotry, and hypocrisy; A-holes standing on one side of a line and pointing their finger back at the other side, screaming “Those guys are A-holes!”

I have a better idea. How about we admit that we can all be A-holes sometimes, stop finding reasons to point fingers at each other, and start pursuing love and unity? I’ll start. It doesn’t matter to me if you’re: man, woman, Republican, Democrat, Christian, Muslim, black, white, mexican, gay, straight, or transgender. If you’re not being a D to somebody, you’re alright with me. #dontbead I love the women in my life deeply and I want them to be treated fairly and with respect.

Anyone who doesn’t want that is just a bad person.

I also want men to be treated fairly and with respect. Anyone who doesn’t want that is a bad

person #equality.

If it had been a woman who spoke up in the face of sexism, people would’ve lined up to tell her how brave she was. Is it more brave to say something that’s accepted and encouraged by society or to go against the grain and point out the injustice no one wants to admit is there?

A-D

This week I was assigned to read a collection of poetry loosely held together by a common theme: the oppression of women. I’m assigned a lot of this type of thing and it seems kind of one-sided to me.

Of course, I agree that the oppression of anyone is terrible and should be ended. However, I’m also of the opinion that, if the oppression of one gender is oversold, it can lead to the oppression of the other.

I wonder if the repetition of this “us and them” mentality might teach my daughters to see men as monsters and themselves as victims, rather than strong women.

Is it okay for a male student to feel as if he’s under a constant barrage of anti-male sentiment?

He feels this way for a reason, right? Are his feelings valid?

I think the answer to all these questions is yes.

Expressing such an opinion in a classroom, though, is recieved about as well as blasphemy in a pentecostal church. I’m speaking from experience.

A New Phenomenon

HQ Trivia takes over the world

Story by Shelby Dixon Student Reporter

A new app has taken over in the app store with a twist on a normal trivia game. This is the only live trivia app on the store at this time.

It started out on the IOS app store for Apple but is now on Samsung. The game goes live at 2 and 8 p.m. Central time every day.

Five minutes before the game starts users will get a push notification if they have it allowed in their settings that the game is about to begin. When users first enter the app after this there is a graphic that is a holding video to wait for the game to go live.

That is when the countdown begins. It starts with 2 minutes and 18 seconds and will countdown until game time. With full graphics and sounds the game begins.

In the upper left hand corner there is the total count of people in the game. The average during the day is around 800 thousand but during the night game it is well over 1 million.

There have been an assortment of hosts but the main man is Scott

Rogowsky. With multiple puns and awful bad jokes he starts the live feed with shout outs, prize amount and finally the rules.

He explains that people in the game will be asked 12 questions ranging from easy to hard. You get ten seconds to answer each question and once you click on one of the three answers you are locked in.

A graphic with the question along with three possible answers will pop up. Click the answer you believe is right.

Once the ten seconds are up he explains the answer and the question will pop back up and it will show the correct answer in green and if you got the question wrong it will show yours in red. There are multiple ways to get kicked out of the game.

The most common being getting an answer wrong and as soon as that happens you can continue to watch the game but not play. There are comments on the bottom of the screen from other payers, these can be swiped away to focus more on the question.

If someone is being inappropriate in the comments they can be kicked out of the game themselves. If you are still standing after answering all twelve questions you will win or split a hefty prize.

The everyday prize of $2,500 is a common attraction but what is even better is that on Sundays there is only one game at 8 p.m. and the price has reached up to $18,000.

There is a small catch to the money aspect and that is if you end up winning you cannot cash out unless the total is more than $20.

This does not seem like much but if there are a lot of people splitting the prize it can get a little hard.

Then if it is under twenty then the player has to try to win again and will not receive money until they get to $20.

There is an opportunity for extra lives if another person signs up using your username as a reference.

The app is currently ranked 3.4 out of 5 on the app store. It will be interesting to see how the app will grow and the random trivia that will be asked.

“I am Emily Doe” is performed at the Ron Robinson Theatre

Story by Julie Young Student Reporter

The Henderson State University Theatre and Dance Department had the chance to display their talents outside the walls of Arkansas Hall when they performed “I Am Emily Doe” at the Ron Robinson Theatre in Little Rock on Jan. 27.

“I Am Emily Doe” is an original play by Henderson junior theatre major Maggee-Lee Preston. It

recounts the 2015 Brock Turner sexual assault case and the surrounding events through the eyes of victim Emily Doe. Though the play had a short run at Henderson back in Oct. 2017, having it performed anywhere else was a completely new experience for the theatre department.

“Seeing it on Henderson’s stage was super special to me, but at the Ron Robinson theatre it was in a

proscenium which changes the blocking and the way scenes are staged,” stated Preston.

While stage type may have altered the blocking, something that not even a different venue could change was the audience reaction.

“The audience had a really good reaction,” stated Preston. “There were a group of ladies in front of me who were crying when Emily was crying and would scoff when Brock

told a lie in court. [It was] cool to hear that verbal response to it.”

Having a student-written play performed at Henderson is a big deal on its own. Having that same play reach an even bigger audience took the experience to a whole new level, “Because the cast took a break from the script for a while, it brought this fresh new energy to it,” stated Preston. “It was a really cool experience.

Professor and a ROCKSTAR

Story by Bunky Raines Student Reporter

Those who don’t know Paul Glover, associate professor of communication, might not suspect his rich rock-n-roll background. Sitting in his office, however, seeing a Led Zeppelin poster and a framed concert stub that features one of his bands opening for Black Oak Arkansas, one can begin to catch a glimpse of the rock star persona that lies within.

He has played in many bands, first in Tuscaloosa, AL, before moving to Arkansas. His current bands are Blind Opie, Redd Tape and Sensory 2.

While Redd Tape and Sensory 2 are still actively playing gigs, Blind Opie may have achieved the most notoriety.

Playing alongside Glover in Blind Opie is Michael Taylor, professor and chair of communication and theatre

arts. According to Taylor, they were once glared at briefly by Joan Jett after they opened for her at Magic Springs.

Marck Beggs, professor of English, responded to the incident stating “Joan Jett can glare at me any day of the week.” From Taylor’s tone, however, one might get the idea that it wasn’t the kind of glare anyone would want directed at them.

“When Paul Glover was interviewing for a job teaching mass media here in 2005,” Taylor said. “I jokingly asked him ‘What instrument do you play?’ Without missing a beat he said, ‘lead guitar.’

Blind Opie may have been born in that moment.” Other band members include David Stoddard, professor of art, and John Greene, assistant professor of business.

“Our crown jewel achievement,” Glover said “Is when we opened up

for Black Oak Arkansas at Juanita’s.”

He then presented a framed concert stub with the words Black Oak Arkansas w/ Blind Opie and added “My mom thinks I’m a rockstar because of that.”

Blind Opie still jams every now and then, according to Taylor, but doesn’t play gigs anymore.

Glover’s other bands are still active, though.

Redd Tape, fronted by Megan Earnhart and featuring the very talented Josh Sabo on drums, played the Arlington in Hot Springs last week.

Sabo said they’re currently looking for a bass player. He mentioned grad student Zac Walthall as a good candidate. “I’m definitely interested in any music job that can start generating income,” Walthall said.

Sabo reflected on a time when Redd Tape played live on the news. “It

was terrifying,” he said. “It was cold and the stings kept going out of tune.”

Those curious about upcoming gigs or just interested in the band can visit their website, www.reddtape.com.

They can also be found on Reverbnation and Facebook.

Sensory 2, fronted by Leah Sexton, academic advisor, played Oaklawn last month. Band members include Kevin Pumphrey on vocals and bass and Ashton Kidder on drums. They have a Facebook page, as well.

One might wonder how Glover has the time to be in three bands and keep up with his responsibilities at Henderson. That kind of dedication requires a deep love of music.

“He’s a terrific musician,” said Taylor “And has been a great colleague, band mate and friend.”

One of the Fighterz “Dragonball FighterZ” is bringin’ 2D back Story by Randy Perry-Johnson characters that go all over the DragStudent Reporter

Video games are setting a huge standard for not only fighting games but video games as a whole with the release of Dragon Ball FighterZ. FighterZ is the first game to take place on a 2D plane in nearly a decade departing from the 3D arena brawler style.

Developed by fighting game kings Arc System Works, who are known for the Guilty Gear and BlazBlue series, Arc System has the chance to break into the mainstream.

Dragon Ball FighterZ is based off of the legendary manga series “Dragon Ball” created by Akira Toriyama. The game has a roster of 24

on Ball timeline from the beginning to Super featuring a new character created by Toriyama himself.

Taking a move out of the playbook of Capcom the game is three versus three with the winner being the one who knocks out all members of the opponent’s team. At first glance the roster may seem small each and every character have an extreme amount of detail to make up for it.

The game is an absolute treat to the eyes with stunning visuals and dynamic lighting on the characters.

The colors are bright and lively making you want to touch the world they are in.

The characters themselves look

phenomenal as well. The 3D models look as if they were ripped from the manga or anime itself with every movement and attack they do and while the characters look the part the game definitely plays the part as well.

Oh my goodness does the game control really, really, really well! It has a simple style that easy to pick up but don’t let that fool you.

While the game is casual-friendly it also has depth behind it. It has a wide appeal to people who’ve never played a fighting game to those who can do the fireball motion in their sleep, tied up, and locked in a trunk at the bottom of the river.

That’s where the strength of the game is, accessibility. Anyone can

jump in and have fun with the game and that’s is just so good to have.

While the game is absolutely wonderful in many ways, it is not perfect. Online matchmaking is a chore with people being kicked from lobbies at random moments and while the story mode features a brand new story in the Dragon Ball universe, it does become a little tedious and repetitive.

The game is a joy not only as a fighting game but as a love letter to everything that is Dragon Ball.

Bandai Namco and Arc System Works definitely have a franchise in the future for FighterZ for years to come.

A short dialogue on “The Cloverfield Paradox” Opinion by Pete Tubbs Editor in Chief

If you didn’t know, at the Super Bowl this week, an ad for the new film “The Cloverfield Paradox” was released. Sounds normal, right?

Wrong.

Previously known as “The God Particle,” this film is the third in the critically and commercially successful “Cloverfield” film series.

Fans have been wondering when

the trailer for this would show up, and last night not only brought the first trailer, it also delivered the full movie.

You read that right. In an ad, a film that was poised for a major thatrical release a couple of months ago, was announced that it’d premiere that night on Netflix.

This is a genius marketing scheme. It practically changes the

entire playing field on how movies can be marketed and released these days.

I was hugely excited at the prospect of having a film that I was truly Graphic Courtesy of Netflix. looking forward to being released completely unexpectedly.

Boys, men, and sexual abuse Opinion by Jae-Kur Lockhart Student Reporter

At a moment’s notice, a child’s life could be changed and warped into a point of no true return.

Men usually will not report or express this occurrence, well at least not like most women would. Women more or less express the situation after a period of time – if it ever comes up.

What on Earth could I be babbling about? Well if no one else will say it, I will. So allow me to take my seat at the table and adjust my composition.

Why are we not talking about sexual abuse among our youth – especially with our young men? True enough it happens to our young girls but why can’t we fathom it happening to our men?

“Men won’t talk about it because

they feel like it blocks their masculinity, whatever that means,” Kierra McDaniel, Junior health science major, said.

It has been a seemingly societal understanding that since a man in perceived as “tough” and “strong” that he cannot bend his will to show his emotions because if he does, he will be considered “weak”.

In essence, should we take a step back and honestly say that sometimes men really do encourage sexual abuse? They do it based on their own false sense of masculinity based on what they believe is right.

“No one will say it, but a man really will encourage his 6 year-old son to grope the thigh of a woman or even grab her butt,” Kamisha Murray, Junior dietetics major, said.

Now if the case and point is that a man (and sometimes woman)

Stop normalizing it

will encourage such an escapade for their little princes, what are they promoting for their princesses?

At what point do you tell your daughter that it is ok for her to approach an adult man and reach for his extremities? Oh of course you wouldn’t dare.

But it’s ok for your son because “boys will be boys”.

Ladies and gentlemen, which one of your kids will you give condoms to on prom night – your son or your daughter? You can ponder it but we all know the answer to that.

I think I might have just revealed another double standard. I am sure we all seen it but more than likely society tried to play it as a normal happening.

Rapper, Lil Wayne, admits to having sex for the first time at 11 years old. While some would say

that this was a bit too young of an age to have sex, I would bet more people would say, “Yeah, he’s the man!”

Where is that same energy when it’s an 11 year-old girl? Well had that happened, she would be considered “fast”.

Our young men are being sexually abused and some of them do not even know it. They may very well not even realize it for a long time because they were taught that it’s ok.

Of course they could realize it sooner or even prevent it if we have this discussion with them now.

I’ll leave the readers with this bit of advice: Stop normalizing sexual abuse. It promotes a generation of ridiculous principles that could yield more than just a slap in the face.
