The gist of Java Prmo Story by Dennis Blackerby, Student Reporter

Located at 614 Main Street, Java Primo is one of Arkadelphia’s numerous options for dining. Java Primo is primarily known for their coffee, but they also serve a variety of breakfast, lunch, and dinner foods. They are open 6:30 am to 10 pm, Friday 6:30 am to 11 pm, Saturday 7:30 am to 11 pm and Sunday 7:30 am to 3 pm.

Java serves a number of choices in coffee. The choices include: bean type, brew type, along with numerous flavors. Java also sells prepackaged coffee beans, including the “Arkadelphia Blend,” which is unique to this town. Although it can be a decent wait after ordering, the coffee comes out with an artistic flair and flavor.

The food follows the same artisan feel as the coffee. Java is unique in its bistro type menu, as no other restaurant in town serves a similar menu. Java is faced with the task of selling a nontraditional cuisine menu in a very traditional southern town.

“Courteous service, pleasant atmosphere, and never feel rushed. T hese all three make for good conversation and work… And the coffee is pretty good too!” Mike Black, who is a community pastor, said. Black uses Java Primo as a place to study and meet with fellow pastors. Java Primo provides atmosphere specific to a college town that allows for the use of their free Wi-Fi, and the quiet soothing surroundings ideal for studying. However, it is not just the college students that flock to Java Primo; the middle age community members gather here as well. However, the atmosphere in this restaurant can also turn away larger groups attempting to visit and be outgoing during a meal.

“I think Java offers a good environment especially for college students. Good workers, good food, coffee and free Wi-Fi for studying. It is unique with the gifts for any occasion,” Brittney Humphrey, HSU alumnae and graduate student, said. “The only negative part I think it has is that for college students the pricing may be to high and the space inside may be too small. With two colleges in town, I think it needs to be bigger.” Although it offers many gifts and knick-knacks, the restaurant is rather confined.

When walking in, the servers alert customers with a greeting and when leaving they send them out with a kind word. The service is efficient and friendly.

Just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, the quality of the restaurant experience is in the eye of the customer. If you want the real gist on Java, go find out for yourself!

Mirage of no deceit: Caddo Valley grill reopened with new attractions Story by Brian Crockett, Student Reporter

On Thursday Aug. 25, Steve Smith, manager of The Mirage Sports Bar and Grill , informed sources of its new management as well as new improvements to the bar itself. “We have simplified the menu, and brought up the quality of the food as well.”

Smith said.

The Mirage closed down this past year due to internal issues but now is better than ever.

The restaurant is located in Caddo Valley just re-opened under new management (as seen below), and has various things to offer, from their golden crispy catfish, to sweet BBQ pulled pork sandwiches. We have some of the best burgers around, I get that all the time” said Smith. The Mirage also accommodates live bands on Saturday night, which includes award-winning group, Fall Out Boys, will be performing Sept 17, then Firing Pin the following Saturday. Other crowd attractions include the pool tournaments held on Tuesday nights.

“We are expecting brand new beer pong tables coming soon, and we will hold beer pong tournaments.” Smith said. “We’re trying to do more for they community, and for local college students to just have a place to have fun and relax.” Smith said.

From its fourteen various big screen televisions to its delicious BBQ, The Mirage is definitely a place to hang out on the weekend.

Medical marijuana ballots in Arkansas Story by E’Lyse Thaxton, Student Reporter In November, Arkansas residents will be able to vote on whether or not marijuana should be legalized for medical use. This is a big issue today, even on our campus.

“I believe that marijuana should be legalized for recreational use, but especially medical use.” Eric Mitchner, senior sports management major, said.

Paris Landers, senior chemistry major, agreed with this opinion by adding in “The legalization of marijuana in both forms would lower crime rates by not arresting people for petty crimes like selling weed.

This would make the amount of people in jail much lower and save our state money.”

Though the legalization of recreational marijuana use has not landed on the ballot yet, there are many here on campus who believe it should.

Not only will those who support the legalization of medical marijuana be able to vote in favor of it in November, but they will also have to choose between two different sides on the ballot. One of these is backed by Melissa Fults of Arkansas for Compassionate Care. She is behind the Arkansas Medical Cannabis Act of 2016 (AMCA).

The other ballot has been proposed by an Arkansas lawyer, David Couch, which is the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Amendment of 2016 (AMMA). The AMCA says that patients would have access to marijuana at a non-profit medical marijuana center, but if one of these centers is not located in a twenty mile radius of where they reside, the patient may apply for a hardship cultivation certificate. This would allow them to grow up to ten plants. Those patients that do live within an area of one of the non-profit center would not be allowed to grow any plants, but could purchase up to 2.5 ounces

of cannabis at a time.

Patients must have a certificate from a doctor stating that they are suffering from an accepted illness treatable by medical marijuana. The medical non-profit center would legally be able to manufacture, sell, and distribute cannabis that has been tested in a lab.

The center must be at least one thousand feet in distance from all schools and accept all of the strict tracking, security, and health guidelines.

A license for owning a non-profit medical center would be five-thousand dollars, and the renewal fee would be one-thousand dollars. All the tax made from the AMCA would go back into the program. One of the major differences in the AMMA involves how the taxes made from the program would be spread out; 10 percent would go to the program itself, another 10 percent would go to the Arkansas Skills Development Fund, 30 percent would go to the Arkansas General Fund, and 50 percent would go to the Arkansas Vocational and Technical Training Special Reserve Fund.

Another key difference is that the AMCA wants the Department of Health to set the rules for patient cards, what an acceptable illness is, and to provide the operating rules for dispensaries and cultivators. The AMMA wants the Department of Health to set the rules for patient cards, and to state what an acceptable illness is, but not the operating rules for dispensaries and cultivators. They believe this decision should be made by the State’s Alcoholic Beverage Control. The AMMA also wants to create a Medical Marijuana Commission while the AMCA has not stated any plans to do so.

Students who would like to vote in the General Election 2016, which will include

these ballots, can go to 501 Ouachita Avenue, Room 103 Hot Springs, AR 71901 on November 8th 2016 from 7:30 am to 7:30 pm. Voters in line by 7:30 pm are able to stay until they vote. The voter registration deadline is Oct. 10. The registration applications can be found at the local Country Clerk’s Office or the State Revenue Office, and turned back in to them. When voting, identification must be proven with a driver’s license, or the last four digits of the social security number used during voter registration.

Reddie blood: record turnout for annual blood drive Brief by Emily Bell, Editor in Chief Last week’s blood drive had a record turn out of Reddie donors with a whopping 91 signed up to give blood. Bob Woodall, account manager of the Arkansas Blood Institute and director of this year’s blood drive, commended students for their generosity.

“It was excellent to see so many students sign up and show up for the event,” Woodall said.

Woodall went on to explain that quite a few students had CMV free blood, which is used for newborns without the virus.

“We’re really happy about the turn out we had for this event, and the support we got from Henderson in promoting the drive,” Woodall said.

“We will be back again in February next semester, and can’t wait to see how many sign up next time.”

REDDIE NEWS

Slip n’ slide on the quad Story by Andrew Arnold, Student Reporter Crowds of students took a break during their first week of classes to participate in the Slip-and-Slide Kickball event. The match, which was hosted by the Dunn Recreation Center, took place last Wednesday on the Quad and attracted students of all ages and majors.

The game consisted of the same rules as kickball, however the players had to attempt to keep their footing as they run across a wet tarp. A large number students decided to compete in the hybrid sport, while many students enjoyed the game from the sideline. “Who would have thought that a mix between two completely different activities would be so fun to watch?” Christian Eckert, sophomore, who stopped by to watch the games unfold said. As the game advanced, many students could not resist joining in on the fun.

The event was part of the HSU Welcome Week and was arranged to help incoming students feel more comfortable among the upperclassmen and to meet other active members of the Reddie community. The players all carried a lighthearted attitude.

“I’m here to kick some kickballs and take some names.” Robbie Morphew, sophomore, said.

Special thanks to the Dunn Recreation Center, and the many students who attended the event, for making Henderson State University a more enjoyable experience for the 2016-2017 year.

Rushin Out: what to expect during recruitment week Story by Shelby Dixon, Student Reporter For all potential new members that signed up by Aug 26. Alpha Xi Delta, Alpha Sigma Tau and Alpha Sigma Alpha are looking for women to join their sisterhoods throughout the week.

On Monday and Tuesday the sororities will begin to mingle and get to know the girls rushing. Then on Wednesday, select girls will be invited back to meet with the sororities that requested them. On that night, the girls that are rushing will then decide their preference as to which sorority they would like to join by ranking them 1-3. Then on Thursday, all of the girls that got invited back will stand on the Quad and receive envelopes that contain the sorority that they best matched up with and will run to the other side to go greet their new sisters.

This week is not just fun for the potential new members, but also for the girls already in the sororities because they are gaining new sisters.

“I love recruitment week. I love seeing the look on all the new girls’ faces when they walk in the room. It’s such an awesome opportunity getting to know so many unique young women.” Madison McCaslin, president of Alpha Xi Delta, said. “No matter what sorority they end up joining, it’s always rewarding to know that those girls are going to be better because they’ve joined Greek Life.”

This next week will be full of rush events on campus. Good luck to all girls going through the recruitment process.

A look back

SPORTS Ballin with the girls Story by Rebekah Teel, Student Reporter

Story by Pete Tubbs, Sports Editor When it comes to college football in the GAC, the Reddies have quite the good standing. While fans prepare for another record breaking year, they should reminisce on the years past.

Admittedly, 2011 wasn’t one of the strongest years for the Reddies.

They had a 6-4 win loss record, as they were taken down by Central Arkansas (30-14), Southwest Oklahoma (17-13), Delta State (34-31) and South Alabama (28-3).

Overall statistics from 2011 show a 275 point count. There were also 670 total plays with a complete offensive yardage gain of 3269.

There was a marked improvement in the coming year as 2012 saw the Reddies finish the season with a 10-1 win-loss record with the only defeat coming from Missouri Western (45-21). Their record brought the Reddies to the top of the GAC standings at the end of the year.

The team left the season with a massive 554 points for the year.

A total of 752 total plays were recorded with an offensive yard gain total of 5685 yards.

The Reddies continued to dominate in 2013 with an 11-1 win-loss record with St. Cloud State, narrowly taking the team down in a late November game which saw the Reddies lose 40-35. The 2013 GAC saw the Reddies take the top spot for the second year in a row.

A total score of 639 points was recorded for the team in 2013. The total offensive yards gained stood at 6917, more than double the count for 2011.

2014 saw a slight drop in success for HSU football, finishing the year with a 8-2 record in the third slot in the GAC. Harding and OBU beat the Reddies with the respective game scores being 41-20 and 28-24.

The total point count for the team for 2014 was 466 points, a bit less than the previous couple of years, but still more than 2011.

The total offensive yardage count for the year was 5467.

Last year the Reddies were back with a vengeance with a win-loss record of 13-1 and leaving the season at the top of the GAC standings for the third time in 4 years.

The single loss was against East Central University at 35-28.

The score count from 2015 stood at 363 points with an offensive gain count of 4516 yards.

Henderson stands out from the pack when it comes to consistency in the conference.

According to head coach Scott Maxfield, the secret to the rampant success of the team has been “good players and outstanding support from administration.” In reference to the GAC predictions that HSU will finish at the top of the heap again this year, Maxfield said, “We take it one game at a time, pre-season polls don’t really matter.”

Needless to say, 2016 looks to be a banner year for Reddie Football, and campus certainly has lots of things to look forward to. The Reddies will don their uniforms for the first time this year on Thursday, and they expect the fans to be there.

The Reddies volleyball coach sees 2016 as a new year with hopes of winning a national championship, featuring four returning players.

“I am excited; a new year always brings this renewed hope to win a national championship and that’s always fun,” said Kristee Porter, coach and UCLA alumni. She joined the Lady Reddies as head coach in 2015.

The only returning senior on the 14-player roster, Jessie Jacoby, said she is “excited for the season to begin.”

Henderson will launch its season on Sept. 2 at the Tampa Classic in Florida, and will return to Arkansas to play Central Baptist College in Conway on Sept. 6. Arkadelphia fans can get their first glimpse of the team in action with five home games during the annual Bettye Wallace Invitational Sept. 9-10 at the Duke Wells Center. The tournament honors longtime former coach Wallace.

On Friday, Sept. 9, the Reddies volleyball team faces Missouri Southern State University at 11:30 am, followed by a game against Northern State University at 7 pm. The next day, also at the Wells Center, HSU faces Drury and Pittsburg State at 11:30 am and 4:30 pm.

The team’s first Great American Conference game of the year pits them against Harding at 7 pm on Sept. 13 at Wells Center.

Jacoby ended the 2015 season by earning All-GAC Honorable Mention honors, as selected by the conference’s volleyball coaches. The Gilmer, Texas middle blocker-outside hitter started all 29 matches for Henderson last year and led the team with 351 kills, recording 10-plus kills in 15 matches.

Alongside Jacoby will be juniors Violet Williams and Sydney Skelton, as well as sophomore Gabby Ginapp.

Skelton, a libero from Jonesboro, Arkansas, played 28 of the 29 matches during the 2015 season, led the team in digs with 363, and produced 19 service aces and 30 set assists. Skelton transferred from Tyler Junior College in Tyler, Texas mainly due to coach Porter.

“I came here for Coach Porter. She really knows her stuff,” Skelton said.

Williams ended the 2015 season earning academic All-GAC honors. The Nevada, Texas middle blocker played 28 of 29 matches, and had 132 kills and a .146 hitting percentage. Williams is excited to share the court with her new teammates.

“I feel that with all of the new players we can definitely change our program around,” Williams said.

Ginapp, a 6-3 middle blocker, played 26 of 29 matches. The Round Rock, Texas native topped off the 2015 season by leading the team with a .244 attack percentage, which totaled 138 kills and also led the team in blocks with 40. Being in a leadership role as a sophomore can be tough, However, Ginapp is ready to help her teammates. “Being a leader is something I still struggle with, but I am getting more comfortable and ready to help and take charge,” Ginapp said.

The Reddies volleyball team believes that preparation is key to a successful season. “We have been very hardworking and structured during practices,” Jacoby said.

“We spend basically our whole day on the court. We get here at 6 am and don’t leave until 9 pm,” Williams said.

Reddie fans can come to support the 4 returners along with their new teammates during the Bettye Wallace Invitational on Friday, Sept. 9 at Duke Wells Center.

CYBERPUNK’D Opinion by Dax Guilliams, Editor No other sub-genre of science fiction has entertained me as much as Cyberpunk has. From the advanced technology to hackers fighting back against governments controlled by corporations, Cyberpunk is just such a fascinating concept.

My introduction to Cyberpunk was with the first “Deus Ex” game and the newest edition to the series, “Deus Ex: Mankind Divided,” has just been released and it has strengthened my love of the sub-genre.

The “Deus Ex” series addresses all of the main points in a typical Cyberpunk story, but it does it so well that it should by considered its own unique version of Cyberpunk.

While the series focuses on political discourse, mega corporations that have political power and other Cyberpunk elements, the main subject the series focuses on are the use of cybernetic enhancements to the human body called augmentations.

The main characters of the games are cyborgs and in society, cyborgs are considered to be separate from humans because of their advantages.

The previous game, “Deus Ex: Human Revolution,” focused even more on the subject of augmentations and those who have them.

In “Mankind Divided,” Adam Jensen returns as the main character.

Set two years after “Human Revolution,” in “Mankind Divided,” Jensen has been working with Interpol after having failed to stop the Illuminati’s influence on the world and failing to stop the prejudice that augmented individuals are facing as a result of the Illuminati.

Relations between humans and the augmented have gotten worse as terrorist attacks dealing with augmentations have increased, leaving Jensen conflicted as he must still do his job fighting against terrorism, but also face prejudice as an augmented man.

OPINIONS While you have to know the story of “Human Revolution” in order to understand what is happening in this game, the developers were kind enough to include a story recap that you can select from the game’s main menu.

One of my favorite features of the game is that at any time, you can change the control scheme. There is a new control scheme for “Mankind Divided,” but you can also choose the same one from “Human Revolution,” one that is similar to that of most first-person shooters and even one that will aid with speed runs of the game.

While I tryed using the control scheme designed for this game specifically, having to use the triangle button to activate sprinting is just too unfamiliar. I ended up switching to the control scheme that is more similar to that of first-person shooters since it just feels a bit better and sprint is mapped to a much better place.

Just like the previous games, “Mankind Divided” is a first-person shooter/RPG hybrid that encourages different ways to play.

You can use stealth or face the enemies directly. You can choose to kill enemies or use non-lethal means of taking them out, such as using a tranquilizer gun.

While using non-lethal was vastly superior in the last game, both lethal and non-lethal are more equal. You still get more experience points for using non-lethal, but it’s not near as much as in “Human Revolution.”

Dialogue is once again a big part of dealing with certain quests or characters. While talking to some important characters, a dialogue wheel will pop up and Jensen can respond to the person he’s speaking with in certain ways that will change the direction of the conversation.

The gameplay element that separates “Deus Ex” from other games is the use of Jensen’s augmentations.

By using Praxis Points, Jensen can

upgrade his augmentations to give him various abilities such as being able to breathe while surrounded by toxic gas, increase his running speed, briefly turn invisible and punch through walls.

I love that the actual name for that augmentation is called “Punch Through Walls.” That’s the kind of Cyberpunk future I’m ready for.

Almost all of the gameplay is vastly improved from the previous games. There are more options for stealth and combat, the environments are more interesting and there are less issues that cause problems with the game.

The game still has a couple of issues, mostly with graphics, but they’re so minor that they’re barely noticeable. Plus, a patch was recently released that fixed a few issues so the game runs even better now.

Speaking of the graphics, the environments and the character models look so good.

From the tutorial that takes place in Dubai to the main city of the game, every detail of the locations look great with the PS4’s graphics and the character models, especially Jensen’s, look so detailed.

As a fan of Cyberpunk and shooter/RPG hybrid games, the “Deus Ex” series does not disappoint.

“Mankind Divided” is the best of the series to date and it leaves me excited since there are plans for a third game starring Adam Jensen as the lead character.

I look forward to more games in this series and I look forward to playing through more of “Mankind Divided” as it is already one of my favorite games this year and it keeps getting better with every minute.

HAIL TO THE KING Opinion by Dax Guilliams, Editor

While SNK has struggled to maintain their place as a top quality video game development company, they have recently made a comeback with their main franchise, “The King of Fighters.”

This longstanding series has seen its ups and downs, but the newest game, “The King of Fighters XIV,” is one of the best games SNK has released.

“The King of Fighters” originally started as a fighting game that included characters from SNK’s other games, most notable “Fatal Fury.”

The series has been going for so long now that it has gone beyond being a mash-up of other games to a unique game series on its own.

Seeing the original trailers for this game, I was a little skeptical. The new character models looked very bad and the fighting looked very slow.

However, with each new trailer, the game looked more and more polished and the game looks and plays extremely well.

All of the character models were touched up and look great for the fact that this is the first “King of Fighters” game to use 3D models, except for the “Maximum Impact” games, but I refuse to discuss those games any more than I have to.

The fighting is very smooth and much faster than the original trailers made it seem. All of the new game mechanics work very well with the rest of the game.

A big change from previous “King of Fighters” games is that instead of using EX moves like most other fighting games have, you are able to have your characters enter what is basically an EX mode where you can perform EX moves. The mode also makes any super moves do more damage.

Just like previous entries in the series, the game lets you pick a team of three fighters and you fight against another team of three. If you prefer using only one character, there is a mode for that also.

Due to fighting games like “Mortal Kombat” and “Street Fighter V” having

more engaging story modes compared to other fighting games, SNK decided to have a more detailed story mode for this game. The story is pretty enjoyable and it’s nice getting more character development with all of the great characters this series is known for.

The game has a massive roster of fan favorite characters along with many new characters. Some characters that haven’t been in the past couple of games, such as Angel and Ramon, have returned and they’re better than ever.

A few of the new characters are some of the best yet. Nelson, a boxer with a robotic arm is one of my favorites along with Kukri, a mysterious man who can control sand are two of my favorite newcomers.

However, there are some really bad characters out of the new bunch. I don’t really care for Love Heart or Alice as both are quite boring when it comes to their moves and they seemed like lesser versions of previous “King of Fighters” characters.

And then there’s Xanadu, who I believe is the worst “King of Fighters” character I’ve ever had the displeasure of playing as. His moveset is atrocious, he has an awful personality and he looks like a fat witch doctor who is on meth.

My absolute favorite new character is the main villain, Antonov. I won’t spoil anything about him, but I found him to be one of the most interesting characters from the moment I started playing the game. His kind of character is a breath of fresh air in the “King of Fighters” universe.

While I still think “King of Fighters XI” and “King of Fighters 2003” are better games, the newest entry is still a fantastic fighting game.

The current netcode has a few problems, but you can still get into some great online matches and SNK has stated they will address the problems. Even with that, this is one of the best fighting games I’ve played recently and it’s so nice to SNK make such a comeback.
