Earlier this month Florida suffered yet another tragedy when, while just showing up for a day of school, 17 people were shot and killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in the mass shooting heard around the world.

Since the shooting, student survivors have come forward speaking out against gun violence and planning nationwide rallies. Some have suggested stricter gun laws. America is no stranger to guns Schools in America are no strangers to guns. But should those guns be allowed at school?

Should they be allowed on a college campus? For Henderson, they soon will be.

The Arkansas legislature passed Act 562 earlier this year, an act which “will allow individuals with concealed handgun licenses to carry concealed handguns on college campuses if they have successfully completed an additional enhanced-certification training course of up to eight hours,” stated Tina Hall, executive director of marketing and communications.

The training for this enhanced certification is still under development, though, so for right now, no one other than law enforcement officials with jurisdiction are allowed to carry weapons at Henderson.

“We fully expect that these classes have and are occurring,

and we continue to monitor developments,” stated Hall.

Another requirement also includes being 21 years old or being at least 18 in addition to being an active member of either the military, National Guard or reserve, or an honorably discharged former member of the military.

It’s worth noting that, first and foremost, an act like this will directly affect the students living and taking classes on this campus. So what do the students think?

“I don’t think people should be allowed to conceal and carry – especially students,” said Regan Stanley, freshman, graphic design major.

Agreeing with her is freshman elementary education major Bailey Morgan.

“I just don’t think it’s a good idea, or necessary,” said Morgan.

It’s a complicated topic. What factors go in to their respective stances?

For some, the recent shooting in Parkland has certainly increased awareness of how the issue affects them.

“The parkland shooting has not changed my thoughts on this, but it’s increased my worry and cautiousness of gun control,” said Annemarie Diser, freshman, elementary education major.

“I don’t really think it’s impacted me that much, because I didn’t support it anyways,” said Hannah Roberson, freshman, psychology major. “For me, it

just like further confirms why guns on campus are a problem.”

If something positive has come from any of the recent events, it’s showing that students are just as important to and capable of joining the conversation as adults are.

There are students who agree and disagree with allowing guns on campus for many reasons.

However, whether in support of Act 562 or not, what seems to stay consistent with every answer is that these are students who just want to feel safe when they go to school. And whether feeling safe means supporting conceal and carry or not is yet to be determined.

“I am not ecstatic about the conceal and carry on campus,” said Diser, “but if there were a way to ensure a safe campus, which is why I picked to go here anyways, then I would be glad to understand.”

Spring Fling The invisible pink unicorn Story by Bunky Raines Student Reporter

“Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle, Hobbes was fond of his dram and Rene Descartes was a drunken fart. ‘I drink, therefore I am.’”

-Monty Python, The Philosopher’s Song The philosophy club began about five years ago with around 30 students. Since then, numbers have declined. The group is now an informal club which meets to watch movies, eat pizza, and discuss philosophy.

One of the purposes of the club is to build interest in the philosophy minor.

Steven Todd, associate professor of philosophy, advises the group. He said the students started the group and he only steps in when they want advice. He expressed concern that philosophy, the mother of all disciplines, has become underrated and

Philosophy at HSU

seen as irrelevant.

Tyler Reeves, alumna, said the critical thinking skills learned in philosophy can be beneficial to anyone. She described how the minor helped in her business management major. “Philosophy and business connect in a lot of ways that people don’t necessarily see on the surface,” Reeves said. “It taught me to think for myself. It gives you a sustainable competitive advantage.”

Todd said that it’s important for students to learn to see things from more than one angle and be able to reevaluate their own beliefs. He feels that more students should have the philosophy minor suggested to them.

Emily Wetzlar, senior elementary education major and head of the philosophy club, said the role of the club is to provide academic support for those with a philosophy minor.

It’s not all about work, though. Every

Monday night the club gets together to watch movies. People are welcome to stick around for intellectual conversation centered around the movie and current topics in society.

Wetzlar recommended the philosophy minor particularly to those pursuing degrees in pre-law or political science as it will help to create valid and sound arguments. “My philosophy minor has challenged me to use logical reasoning and information to form my opinion,” Wetzlar said. “As a future teacher, this is a vital skill my students need in the world of misinformation.”

Wetzlar said Todd is an amazing professor who is invested in his students and will go above and beyond to help them. She smiled widely while describing his pink unicorn theory. “He’ll take it out, set it on a desk and say, ‘this is my invisible pink unicorn and who are you to tell me she isn’t real,’” Wetzlar said.

Todd said the unicorn was used to illustrate how truth is linked with assumption. He elaborated by saying when someone says, “that is a desk,” that’s clearly true, but when someone says, “there’s an invisible pink unicorn,” truth and assumption become a debate.

The group will be headed to Nashville, Tenn. over spring break to do “service with non-profit organizations that help those in need of food and shelter.” Therefore, they need donations of packaged socks and underwear.

On March 1 in the Grand Ball Room at 3 p.m., there will be a roundtable discussion on “Gender, Power, and ‘The Weinstein Effect.’”

Join the group as they discuss these topics and try to gather some insight.

Also on March 1 at 7 p.m., Austin

“She’s there... you just don’t see her until you join the philosophy club with a minor in philosophy.”

“It’s true,” Todd said. “She’s there.

You just don’t see her until you join the philosophy club with a minor in philosophy.”

Step up and stroll off Greek organizations participated in the “Stroll Off” last week Story by Ayanna Williams Student Reporter

On the night of Feb. 22, in Garrison’s lecture hall, greek life held this year’s Stroll Off. Everyone anticipated this fundraising event as a hoard of people gathered around the doors of the lecture hall to be admitted.

Henderson students and organizations filled the room with their cameras out, ready to cheer on and

support the greek organizations scheduled to perform for the night.

Lively music was played for the students upon entrance as well as during breaks from performances.

Members of greek organizations represented their chapter by performing a routine where they stroll through the entrance of the room and continue to perform onstage.

With the “New School vs. Old

School” concept coming into play, fraternity and sororities performed to a lot of new aged music catered to our generation. However, these groups also brought back old hits from the nineties, and in one case, gospel music.

During breaks between performances, the DJ played songs for all sororities and fraternities to show off and represent their organization.

These moments showcased a true stroll off as organizations strolled around their room in a “last man standing” battle.

This event gave greek organizations to showcase their talents among the campus. This event is highly anticipated every year, so this year’s Stroll Off didn’t fail to give students on campus a night of entertainment.

THe Delph & Beyond

Coffee with your congressman

Congressman Bruce Westerman addressed current issues last week in Arkadelphia

Story by Easton Cowart Student Reporter

Arkansas District 4 Representative, Bruce Westerman, hosted an event called, “Coffee With Your Congressman” Tuesday in Arkadelphia Town Hall to discuss current issues with his constituents.

A jovial atmosphere filled the room, along with the smell of free coffee and donuts. Men and women of assorted age and background all shuffled into the room eager to hear the Congressman, and in turn speak their mind to their Representative.

It was apparent by the conversations among the crowd that this was a mixed bag of viewpoints, but the mood was cordial. People began to mix and share ideas quickly forming small cliques of similar viewpoints, sometimes slightly disagreeing, but only on the friendliest of terms.

Then, enters the Congressman, wearing a friendly grin, giving out handshakes along with the rest of the pleasantries you would expect from a standard politician.

A hush falls on the crowd, after a prayer and the pledge of allegiance, the speaking section of this event begins. The short speech is standard political prose, cataloguing all of the advancements the Representative feels Arkansas has made in the recent past ranging from taxes to healthcare.

“We are seeing a booming economy right now both here in Arkansas, and across the country” said Representative Westerman. The speech is concluded with an urge to

encourage senators to open debates on areas of the tax code, followed by an opening for questions.

“There is tons of things I could talk about, but what I really want to do is talk to you, and see what you have to say” said Westerman.

From the moment that sentence was spoken, the feeling of the room immediately turned. The transfer and debate of ideas began from the moments questions were asked.

Not once during the opening speech did the Representative address recent issues of gun violence,

or gun control, this left an opening for discussion to be had and questions were rapidly fired from the audience towards the senator about gun control and issues pertaining to it.

Westerman took the stance of the issue lying among individuals, and society in general rather than weapons much to the dismay of several citizens. “If we think we are going to regulate away our problems, we’re fooling ourselves,” responded Westerman after asked if he supported regulations centered around

deadly weapons, background checks and how loaded guns are handled in public setting.

The back and forth lasted for more than half an hour with both sides audibly hissing and laughing at their opposition, including one of Westerman’s aides himself. To say the least tensions were high.

The conversation fluctuated to many topics, including welfare, minimum wage, and even the merits of southern heritage, but the dry, nervous atmosphere never left the room (this was not helped by the

heat being on during half of the event unnecessarily). The message was clear however that some Arkadelphia citizens, and perhaps many more of Westerman’s constituents want something to be done about mass shootings in America.

Even some people who generally find themselves on the conservative side of politics, are agreeing that something must change in order to save the lives of Americans, and American children.

“We’re not talking about banning guns, or taking everyone’s guns away,” said Laura Storm, the local group leader of a national organization called Moms Demand Action, focused on gun issues facing America. “I do think that there are plenty of gun owners that support common sense gun reform.”

Laura however does not believe that today’s political climate is allowing for opinions like hers to be discussed and considered fairly. “I don’t think we are in an atmosphere politically for compromise.”

It is true that political pressure is

building, what is not clear is if lawmakers are to truly listening to their constituents about issues like these or if they are waiting for the smoke to clear from one mass shooting, until the conversation inevitably leaves the collective conversations of America.

The conversation however at the moment is still being had It seems that both sides of the issue both have drastically different ideas for how the uniquely American problem of mass shootings should be handled. Should we ban all guns, some guns, or no guns?

Westerman was asked many questions about gun control. Photo by Cassidy Witherspoon.

Should we arm teachers and students to defend themselves? Is this a mental health problem or a gun problem. It doesn’t seem like we are agreeing on much right now, other than the fact that something must be done this time, not the next time a mass shooting occurs in America.

“Everybody in this country needs to work together,” said Daniel Middleton a citizen who attended “Coffee With Your Congressman.”

“Common sense is a thing of the past.”

Conversations like the one held in Town Hall Tuesday are important, maybe uncomfortable but important. It is important that we keep talking about issues like these no matter where you find yourself on the political spectrum.

It is important that we look within ourselves and decide how we genuinely feel about these issues rather than clinging to whatever our political affiliation must say about it.

Policy makers must realize that this problem hangs heavy on the head of their voters, and action must be taken, and in order for them to realize this we must continue to have conversations like these no matter how uncomfortable, tense or even hostile they become.

As the saying goes “You can’t make an omelette without breaking some eggs.” Some feelings must be hurt, even if they’re your own. If we challenge every potential solution to the utmost scrutiny, to see what the most effective answer is despite political leanings we may take a step forward in ending these atrocities that plague us seemingly endlessly.

Think about it. Talk about it.

Don’t let this become “just another mass shooting.”

Depression and bad language Story by Tiara Burgess Contributing Reporter

If you have nothing to do when your out of class then come to the theatre and see all the different plays they have to offer.

There is a list of plays and times of when the plays will be performed on the Henderson State University website.

The Tigers Be Still play by Kim Rosenstock was playing in the Arkansas Hall Studio theatre this past Thursday through Sunday.

This play is a comedy about

depression. A women named Sherry with a masters degree in art therapy moves back home.

She is overwhelmed, unemployed, and stays in the safety of her childhood bed until she finds an employment opportunity that gives her hope and a renewed sense of purpose.

When asked what he thought of the play, Ricardo Ramirez, a freshmen accounting major said “It was a tad bit confusing at times, but overall it was funny, especially Zach and Grace

“Tigers be Still” was performed last week

and the cursing added humor as well.”

However, I got a very different answer from Tea Burgess, a freshmen computer science major. “I thought the plot was good, but I think the language was a bit excessive,” Burgess said.

If you didn’t make it to this one then the next play they will be performing will be “Peter and The Star Catcher.” This next play will have its opening night on April 12 at 7:30 p.m. and will continue being performed at that

time on April 13, 14, 16, and 17.

It will be playing on the 15th as well at 2:30 p.m.. If you have time on your hands then I would encourage you to go to these plays because they are amazing to watch and if you go opening night, they have food layed out for everyone that wants to eat after the play is over.

HSU students get in for free and usually others would have to pay cash to get in, but they are now accepting credit and debit cards.

“Cultura” and “Butterflies and Stingers” opened last week Story by Walker Walthall Student Reporter

The definition of art is the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.

Two art exhibits senior art exhibits were up this last week in the 2nd floor of Huie Library. Cultura

by Helen Martinez and Butterflies and Stingers were both up from Feb. 19-26.

Martinez’s exhibit was all about Mexican culture. All of her pieces

were based on cards from a Mexican card game, “Loteria.”

The cards she picked ranged from an image of a taco, which is Martinez’s favorite, to the virgin Mary.

“When I was growing up these images were around a lot, and they always just stuck with me,” Martinez said.

All of her pieces were made in Adobe Illustrator. Martinez’s reason for making this exhibit was “To show that Mexican culture and people are just like everyone else.

We have a culture and we are proud of it.”

Franchesca Smith’s exhibit

“Butterflies and Stingers” had deep meaning for Smith. Smith was diagnosed lupus, and her exhibit is a joining of digital photos to show her life before and after this diagnosis.

“Trying to find something else to be passionate about with my art was hard,” Smith said when she was talking about why she chose this specific topic. Smith hopes that others can be inspired by her art.

“When people see my art I want them to know that even though I have this part of my life I’m still making beautiful things from it.”

Smith said.

An artist and an alum

Jonathan Cromer returns to campus for artistic reasons

Story by Aaron O’Quin Online Editor

Last week in the art department, an HSU alumna, Jonathan Cromer, came to our campus to make use of the art annexes old out of use metal foundry. The metal foundry has found itself majorly unused since the unexpected passing of the sculpture professor Mac Hornecker, whom passed in 2011.

Jonathan was part of the last group of students to take classes under Professor Hornecker and had good reason for returning to HSU to use our metal foundry.

Jonathan wished to call tribute to the passed professor by using the very same metal foundry that Hornecker used for his own work. Jonathan had in his possession a piece of Professor Horneckers last unfin-

ished sculpture project, a mold of rock. He made use of this mold last Wednesday to create an aluminum cast and attempted a bronze cast of the rock to be made use of in his own interesting work.

Jonathans work consists of a combination of computer engineering and traditional sculpting methods to create amazing interactive art displays. His work has been on display in the 21c Museum Hotel in Bentonville, and internationally as part of a traveling group exhibition, Running Towards Dreams, in the Negar Art Gallery, Tehran, Iran and the Raff Gallery, Berlin, Germany.

Maybe Jonathan’s visit is the beginning of the reigniting of HSU’s sculpture program in a new and Laurin Lollies and Larry Massey helphin Jonathan Cromer make casts last week. Photo interesting way.

OPINIONS “This game is worth the cash” Jerry on “Ark Survival Evolved” Opinion by Jerry Crowe Contributing Reporter

Think back to your youth, when your imagination took you from playing with Legos and dolls to outdoors adventures such as hunting for dinosaurs in your backyard. Our childhoods were full of incredible experiences, as the world was still a new place.

When I first picked up “Ark Survival Evolved,” six months back, I was transported back into my childhood adventures. Not only could I ride a velociraptor into battle against a saber tooth tiger, but also I could wield guns, bows, or even an army of dodos for a laugh. One of the best parts of “Ark” is the ability to jump into this mysterious world of prehistoric animals with a friend on one screen or go online and play against or with other players in PVP or PVE servers.

“Ark Survival Evolved” is an open world role-playing game (RPG) made by Wildcard Studios. The player creates their character and spawns into deadly lands with creatures such as dinosaurs, dragons, and other creatures of historical and mythical proportion.

Starting with sticks and stones, the player will evolve their tactics and go from helpless and naked to equipped with futuristic technology. When one wishes to go alone, stay wary, traveling in some areas are more difficult than other areas.

OPINIONS Title IX: A follow-up

Bunky met with Dr. Vetter last week

Opinion by Bunky Raines Contributing Reporter

After writing a scathing criticism of Title IX practices in the Feb. 13 Oracle, I received an email from Allison Vetter, Title IX coordinator, inviting me to a meeting in her office. I accepted.

I ain’t gonna lie. I was nervous, but I remembered the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson: “God will not have his work made manifest through cowards.” At 8:30 a.m. Feb. 20, I arrived at the meeting prepared to battle a fire-breathing dragon in defense of free speech.

What I found was a nice lady with wide eyes sitting behind a desk. I thought she might be more nervous about the confrontation than I was.

Perhaps she’d been made to feel vulnerable by the sharp tongue of an

overzealous student journalist. I felt like an asshole.

I now find it appropriate to give voice to Vetter’s thoughts on the issue.

In my article, I quoted Vetter as saying “Rape is the only crime where the police don’t just automatically believe you when you report it.They call it ‘alleged’ rape.”

She said my quote was accurate, but would like for it to be known that it was said under the context of why underreporting is a problem for law enforcement.

Vetter also said she was afraid my article might convey the misconception that it is campus policy to believe every accuser. “I was worried that the implication was that someone accuses someone and we kick them out of school,” Vetter said.

To be clear, that wasn’t the implication. I was making reference to the “believe them all” culture that has given rise to a set of policies that many see as unfair.

These policies were set in motion in 2013 when the Obama administration sent out the “dear colleague” letter to school officials. It forced universities to use a lower burden

of proof, when investigating college sexual harassment and assault cases, than is used in the real world.

Preponderance of evidence, the lowest burden of proof, is what they’re required to use. That means that it only has to seem likely that the accusation is correct, rather than proof beyond a reasonable doubt, which is used in criminal cases by the U.S. legal system.

Preponderance of evidence is used in civil cases. “Our role is to protect civil rights,” said Elaine Kneebone, general counsel and chief compliance officer, who also made an appearance at the meeting. “They are distinctive. They are two different processes.”

My opinion is that sexual harassment and sexual assault are very serious criminal charges which can now ruin a students life without ever having been charged with a crime, but I’m not blaming the Henderson staff.

I think Dr. Vetter is a good person trying her best to do what’s right. It’s the policy itself that many people find to be flawed. Betsy DeVos, secretary of education of the United States, is one such person.

She has rescinded Obama’s dear colleague letter and is fighting to have the higher burden of proof restored.

While Obama’s concern for women who are sexually harassed and afraid to come forward seems completely justifiable, his system is now creating victims on the other side of the board. The nation looks toward the upcoming policy changes with interest.

No matter what happens at the national level, things are well here.

While lawsuits have been filed all over the United States, Henderson has not been brought up on a single case of false accusation. That’s a pretty good record. Well done, Dr. Vetter.

“We provide support to both parties.”

“We provide support to both parties. We treat both fairly and after the process is over I still keep in touch with them.”

-Allison Vetter

sports We all gotta hang ‘em up sometime

Jordan says farewell to seniors who were honored at last week’s game

Story by Jordan Williams Sports Reporter

Last week’s matchup up against OBU meant a lot more than just a win or lose on the record for the year, and it meant more than the Battle of the Ravine. Last week’s game meant so much more than anyone can imagine.

Last week was senior week and for several players on both the men’s and women’s roster, and it was the final time that many of the players would ever wear a Reddie uniform.

It meant the end of a long journey for these players, hours of practice and tireless effort all put towards the passion and pursuit of basketball all coming to an end. It was a time to honor the commitment and effort of the senior players who will be moving on to bigger and better things as this season comes to a close.

Seniors being honored for the women’s team were Bree Bossier and Haleigh Henson. Bree Bossier is a senior from Fairfield, Tex. who, while in high school, lettered all four years in high school and even won Defensive Player of the year honors. She also had the honor of being on the All-State, All-Region and All-Region Tournament teams.

Bossier’s time at Henderson has been spent doing what she does best, and what often doesn’t show up on the stat sheet, playing excellent defense. She has seen a steady increase in her playing time sense her freshman year and would eventually become our lifeblood on the defen-

sive as she has been this year.

She finished this year with career highs in all statistical categories and notching nine double-doubles on the season. Haleigh Henson was also honored, she’s a senior who will leave the program as not only one of the greatest shooters in HSU history, but in GAC history as well.

An Arkansas native, Henson attended Greenwood high school where she played volleyball, ran track, and played basketball. She helped lead her high school basketball team to a state championship her senior year, was on the All-State and All-Conference teams her senior season, and was an McDonalds All-American Nominee during her senior season as well.

From the moment she laced up

“Henson has been a phenomenal shooter.” and hit the court, Henson has been a phenomenal shooter and will leave a notable mark on the program with amount of records she hold. Henson has the records for most 3’s ever made for the women’s program with 212 made, a record that puts her tied for fifth all time when combining both the men’s and women’s records, she also hold GAC records for minutes per game as a freshman, averaging 33.7 minutes.

She also averaged the most threepoint field goals as a freshman with 2.7 per game during her freshman campaign. She is the only freshman to hold those individual records in both categories.

For the men’s team, the seniors being honored were Kaylon Tappin, Brad Narin and Matt Panaggio.

Kaylon Tappin is from Little Rock Arkansas and is a transfer from Mid-South Community College. He came to Henderson as a sophomore and came in as a big contributor off the bench, but quickly moved up to starter status as a junior starting 23 of the 29 games he played that year.

A dynamite scorer, Tappin finishes his career as a member of the Reddies 1000-point club, tied for eighteenth with 1152 points over his career as a Reddie. He has led the team in scoring for the past two seasons.

Brad Narin is from Nassau, Bahamas and is a transfer from Blackhawk East Central Community College. He has been a mainstay for the Reddies, starting the last six games of last season playing the passing lanes and contesting any and all shots he can get to. Anyone who watches any of the Reddies games the past two seasons knows the incredible amount of skill he brings to the floor.

The last senior to be honored was Matt Panaggio from Port Orange, Florida. He is a transfer from Mer-

cer University. Though he started 25 of the 29 games he played in his first year at Henderson, Panaggio found his role for the remainder of his time here as a scorer off the bench.

Though he may not hold any important records for the Reddies, Matt has had a tremendous career coming off the bench scoring key buckets when the Reddies were down, as he averaged almost 10 per game the last two seasons.

All of the players have played key roles during their careers at Hender-
