SOUTHEAST MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY STUDENT PUBLICATION NOV. 7 - 13, 2012 Student run since 1911
University officials say they correctly followed admission process in Nafis case BRITTANY TEDDER COPY EDITOR
According to Southeast Missouri State University officials, the admissions process of a former international student arrested in New York last month and charged with planning to bomb a federal building was appropriate. Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis was arrested by the FBI on Oct. 17 and charged with plotting to bomb the Federal Reserve Bank in New York City. Nafis attended Southeast only in the 2012 spring semester. He requested Southeast to transfer his transcript to a Brooklyn, N.Y., institute in the summer. When Nafis was admitted to Southeast, he failed to disclose his previous college transcripts from North South University in Dhaka, Bangladesh. On the international students application at Southeast, it requires international students to disclose all, if any, previous college transcripts. According to an Associated Press report, a North South University official said Nafis was “a terrible student who was put on probation and threatened with expulsion if he didn’t bring his grades up and that he eventually stopped coming to school.” According to Debbie Below, associate vice president for enrollment management and director of admissions, it is not uncommon for international or non-international students, who did not recently graduate from high school, to not disclose their previous college transcripts. “It is very common for students to apply for admissions and not disclose all colleges that they have attended for many reasons,” Below said. “It’s not that they’re being dishonest. It could be that they withdrew from those courses, and they didn’t think they needed to tell us about that.” Below said 95 percent of all college
attendance records are documented in the National Student Clearinghouse, a centralized database in the U.S. If a student applies at Southeast who did not just graduate from high school, Southeast has access to the National
“There was nothing we could do about receiving the college transcripts earlier. We did follow the admissions practice.” Debbie Below Student Clearinghouse system, called Student Tracker, which allows Southeast to view other colleges and universities that a student attended. “On a college side we want to know everywhere they have attended,” Below said. “I don’t think all universities go to that extent and check the National Student Clearinghouse the same way, but we do because we know it’s common for students to not disclose all the universities that they have attended. However, on an international landscape, obviously there is not a centralized database that tells us if a student has attended somewhere else.” When Nafis gave Southeast his North South University transcripts on Jan. 18, the day after classes began, he was placed on academic probation. “There was nothing we could do about receiving the college transcripts earlier,” Below said. “We did follow the admissions practice.” According to Zahir Ahmed, director of international education and services, one problem with international students not disclosing their transcripts from previous colleges is
that, in many countries, there is no concept of transferring credits from one college to another. If international students want to change colleges, they must send their high school transcripts. Their previous college transcripts are insignificant. “If you’re a student in India, you go to one university, then you decide you don’t like it. You have to start all over again in some other university,” Ahmed said. In order for an international student to come to the United States and attend a college, he or she must apply for a student visa. “Most often they apply to several universities in the USA, sometimes in other countries as well,” Ahmed said. “They apply from their own country. Then, when colleges admit them then they take the admission of whichever college they would like to attend and they would go to the U.S. consulate and they apply for a visa there.” According to Ahmed, many international students who apply for student visas get denied. “Those that want to be students have to show that they have enough funding to come to the U.S., that they have been admitted into a university in the U.S. Then, they apply for the visa,” Ahmed said. “The U.S. allows [in] 40 to 50 percent of people who actually want to come here.”

TYLER Stone shows improvement REDHAWKS FORWARD STONE PLAYED FIVE EXHIBITION GAMES IN BRAZIL OVER THE SUMMER
Redhawks hit clutch shots, beat Southern Indiana 68-62 BRAD CONWAY SPORTS EDITOR
Southeast Missouri State University guard Allyson Bradshaw made a long-range jumper to help get the momentum started for the Redhawks midway through the second half. Then forced turnovers and breakaway layups helped lead to a Redhawks victory over Division II Southern Indiana 68-62. “The biggest things I was really proud of this time is we came together,” Southeast coach Ty Margenthaler said. “We got stops when we needed to get the stops, we made the shots when we really needed to make clutch shots and we won the basketball game.” Bradshaw’s bucket reduced a 10-point to deficit to eight with nine minutes and 59 seconds left to play, starting a Redhawks’ comeback. Just over a minute later, Southeast forward Bailie Roberts hit a 3-point jumper to keep the game within single digits at 48-54. “I called a timeout and brought the troops together and we just basically talked about, you know, you’re either going to hang your head and stop competing or break it up and the seniors are going to lead us,” Margenthaler said. Redhawks guard Jordan Hunter and forward Patricia Mack both made steals that resulted in layups for Mack. “We really picked up the defensive pressure without fouling, and I thought we really got into transitions,” Margenthaler said. “Patricia Mack had two great breakaways and back-to-back layups that got a little momentum going.” Mack finished the game with nine points and nine rebounds. Roberts made two free throws with 4:56 to go that tied the game 58-58. “We had one run where we got three or four steals in a row, and it just really helped build our confidence into finishing off the game,” Roberts said. The Redhawks gained the lead when Bradshaw nailed a 3-point jumper with 2:26 left. “I really thought Bradshaw came through,” Margenthaler said. “We ran a nice quick hit for her, and she knocked down a great three and really the momentum started.” Bradshaw finished with two blocks, two steals and 10 points. Southeast forward/center Courtney Shiffer and Roberts both made two free throws in the final 12 seconds of the game, giving the Redhawks the largest lead of the game by six. The Redhawks and the Eagles both committed 20 turnovers. Roberts led the Redhawks with 18 points. She shot 50 percent behind the arc, grabbed seven rebounds and had two steals. Southeast’s Brittany Harriel had 12 points and five rebounds. The Redhawks held The Eagles to 39.7 percent from the field. “It was a good way to open up it up and start off with a win,” Bradshaw said. The Redhawks will play Wright State University in its regular-season home opener at 6:30 p.m. Friday at the Show Me Center. “It was a good way to build confidence, get some experience to the new girls and help them see what we need to do to win,” Harriel said. “We know that we have to go up from here and know that we’re going to be playing bigger schools and harder schools.”

Tyler Stone’s progress shows program’s potential ERIN NEIER INTERIM EDITOR
After the Southeast Missouri State University men’s basketball team finished its scrimmage on Oct. 26 most players headed for the locker room, but junior forward Tyler Stone stayed on the court. He started out shooting jump shots from the corner and then worked on post moves. “You can’t be perfect,” Stone said. “I’ve always got to be working on something, whether it’s driving, shooting jumpers, hook shots, anything. Our team has got to work on defense more.” Southeast coach Dickey Nutt said Stone is always the first in the gym and last to leave and that he improved his ball handling, shooting and physical condition in the offseason. “His body is bigger and stronger, and he’s faster,” Nutt said. “I’m really proud of what he’s been able to do and develop.” Stone said he spent the summer “eating right, sleeping right and working out.” He also spent a week in Brazil as part of a trip sponsored by the Sports Reach Sports Ministry organization. According to the organization’s website, some of the things teams do are play exhibition games in different areas and lead camps or clinics for churches.
The team Stone was on played in five exhibition games throughout Brazil and won the fifth annual International Terra de Sole Basketball Cup. Stone averaged 21.2 points and 12.4 rebounds during the trip. “I think to me that was a lot bigger than basketball, really. We helped a lot of kids out and stuff,” Stone said. “But it was a great getaway, great time playing ball.” Stone’s improvements have been
“I think offensively, he has that scorer’s mentality, but defensively, we are not where we need to be.” Dickey Nutt noted by other coaches in the Ohio Valley Conference and he was selected as preseason all-OVC. “When you’re able to be recognized as one of the top players in the league, that’s a compliment to our program,” Nutt said. “That’s a compliment to our recruiting, that’s a compliment to our development of skill level. Because when he did come in here, he wasn’t very good and he knows that, and I’ll tell him that. He would admit to that.”

Stone transferred from the University of Missouri after the 2009-2010 season. He played in 12 games and averaged 1.8 points per game at Missouri. He had to sit out the following season due to NCAA Division I transfer regulations. Last year, his first eligible season at Southeast, Stone led the Redhawks in scoring and rebounding. He averaged 14.7 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. He was named to the second team allOVC and the OVC all-newcomer team. “I think offensively, he has that scorer’s mentality, but defensively, we are not where we need to be,” Nutt said. Nutt said that the coaching staff reprimands Stone in practice every day, so he takes better shots and plays harder defensively. “He takes some ill-advised shots sometimes, a lot of times, but unfortunately they go in or fortunately they go in, both words work,” Nutt said. Stone finished with 16 points and 12 rebounds in Southeast’s first exhibition game of the season against Ouachita Baptist on Oct. 30. “What I love about Tyler Stone is that he’s an underclassman,” Nutt said. “He still has two full years to go. And I encourage our fans to come out and watch a good player.” The Redhawks’ regular-season opener is against No. 7 Kansas at 7 p.m. Friday in Lawrence, Kan.

MEN’S BASKETBALL PREVIEW 2012
Men’s basketball team picked to finish second in OVC West Division Redhawks return eight players from last year’s team that finished fifth in the Ohio Valley Conference standings BRAD CONWAY SPORTS EDITOR
The Southeast Missouri State University men’s basketball team is picked to finish second place in the Ohio Valley Conference West Division, right behind three-time defending OVC champion Murray State. “Well, obviously expectations are a lot different this year,” Southeast coach Dickey Nutt said. “You know we’re not going to be able to sneak up on anybody like we did last year. Right now, if we don’t start guarding anybody, that second pick in the league isn’t going to mean anything.” Last season, the team was picked to finish sixth in the OVC. The Redhawks finished one game under .500, with a record of 15-16 overall and 9-7 in conference play, earning fifth place in the OVC standings. “This year we’re going to take it one game at a time, that’s it,” Southeast guard Marland Smith said. “Our main goal is to get those win
columns.” The Redhawks will be tested by Murray State, and will also face Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, which Nutt believes to be under the radar. “I think SIU Edwardsville has a chance to be really good,” Nutt said. “I think they had a good recruiting class. They had a lot of guys sitting out, and they have a lot of guys come back. There are a number of teams that look really good, and we’re right there along with them.”
“This year we’re going to take it one game at a time, that’s it. Our main goal is to get those win columns.” Marland Smith The OVC also added Belmont University, from the Atlantic Sun Conference, on July 1. The Bruins finished with a 27-8 record and received a No. 14 seed in last year’s NCAA tournament. “I think it’s great for our league, and I think it does a lot for us,” Nutt said. “We’re able now to recruit, since Murray State with what they were able to do last year. We’re able to tell our recruit and use in our recruiting, that we’re
playing in front of sellout crowds in the conference play. Belmont’s team is going to be just that. I promise you, when they come in here it’s going to be sold out. Belmont is such a nationally known team.” Since the addition of Belmont, the OVC split the league into an East and West Division. The East Division includes Belmont, Tennessee State, Tennessee Tech, Morehead State, Eastern Kentucky and Jacksonville State. Murray State, Southeast, Austin Peay, SIU Edwardsville, Eastern Illinois and Tennessee Martin are in the West Division. Southeast returns eight players, including seniors Nick Niemczyk, Corey Wilford and Marland Smith. Junior forward Tyler Stone averaged 14.7 points and 7.3 rebounds per game while shooting 53 percent last season. “Man, I’ll be focusing on defense for real,” Stone said. “That’s one thing our coach pushes is to play defense and stop people.” Sophomore forward Nino Johnson will replace former Southeast forward Leon Powell, who led the nation with a 63 percent field- goal percentage a year ago. Johnson averaged 2.2 points and 1.9 rebounds per game coming off the bench last season. The Redhawks also have three freshmen: guard Jared White, center/forward Colin Ferguson and redshirt freshman forward Jacob Tolbert. Guard A.J. Jones, a junior college transfer
who had to sit out last season, will be eligible. Jones scored a game-high 18 points and led the team with four of its 12 assists in the Redhawks first exhibition game against Ouachita Baptist. “I just have to remain poised,” Jones said. The Redhawks will kick off the regular season against No. 7 Kansas at 7 p.m. Friday at Allen Fieldhouse. “Our guys are excited about that game,” Nutt said. “It’s a good game for our fans, it’s a good game for our program and we’re going to find out real quick with what we’re made of.”

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL PREVIEW 2012
Redhawks set sight on OVC tournament SPENCER MICHELSON ARROW STAFF WRITER
The Southeast Missouri State University women’s basketball team is going to be young this season. With only three seniors, the team lacks experience heading into the season. “We have five newcomers, so that’s going to be a little bit of the early stages, non-conference to get those guys playing experience to get ready for conference play,” Southeast coach Ty Margenthaler said. “But, a little bit of inexperience in some positions is going to be an early tell.” With an overall record of 7-22 and 4-12 in conference play, the Redhawks fell one conference win short of making the Ohio Valley Conference tournament in Marganthaler’s first season a year ago. Eight teams qualify for the tournament. Southeast came in 10th place out of 11 teams in the OVC last season. “We were one game away from it last year and we learned a lot from that,” Margenthaler said. “And with three starting seniors back from last year’s basketball team we learned a lot, and that’s something they want to leave on their legacy — just being a part of that tournament.” The team is picked to finish sixth in the OVC West Division by the preseason poll, which was voted on by OVC head coaches and sports information directors. The OVC will be split into two divisions this season for the first time ever. There are six teams in both divisions, West and East. The three returning seniors will all be start for the Redhawks. Forward Brittany Harriel led the team in scoring last season with 10.2 points per game. Forward Bailie Roberts was second on the team in scoring with 9.7 points per game.
“I think they’re showing great toughness and willingness to get better. That’s definitely, in the early stages, a major strength for us.” Ty Margenthaler Also returning is forward Courtney Shiffer, who contributed 6.2 points per game and led the team with 21 blocks. Southeast averaged 52.5 points per game last season which was the worst in the OVC. The Redhawks also averaged the worst shooting percentage in the OVC, shooting .34 percent from the floor. “I’ve been working on my outside game, increasing my shooting range,” Shiffer said. “So, I’ve been working on that to help out the team this year to be more of an offensive threat.” Shiffer had a .342 field-goal percentage last season, which was the fourth highest on the team.

Photo by Ryan Hollingsworth Roberts hopes to improve her defense and ball-handling skills. She averaged 6.1 rebounds per game and had 23 steals last season. She also wants to improve her leadership skills in order to give the Redhawks a better chance to make the tournament. “We’re working for a championship every day, that’s what we’ve got our eyes set on,” Roberts said. “So, we know what it takes, we’ve just got to do it from this point out.” Margenthaler also will count on some of the newcomers to contribute. “I see a newcomer that’s really going to be special for us,” Margenthaler said. “That’s Jordan Hunter, our point guard. She will be able to come in and play right away as well.” Hunter transferred to Southeast from Crowder Community College in Neosho, Mo. She averaged 13.3 points, 5.3 assists and 2.4 steals per game. She is also a member of the New Zealand national team and appeared in two games during the Olympic qualifying tournament for the 2012 London
Olympics. “As a point guard coming in, [I want to] control the team on the floor and try to make an impact,” Hunter said. Margenthaler hopes that the team will be more consistent this season. The Redhawks did not win back-to-back games last season and lost their first six games of the season. “I think if we continue to grow and are more consistent, the wins will come like we want them to,” Margenthaler said. “That will be the biggest thing — consistency.” The team’s greatest strength is going to be its willingness to improve. With a young roster, players will be fighting for playing time and more experience. “I just think their willingness to get better and better everyday is a strength,” Margenthaler said. “I think they’re showing great toughness and willingness to get better. That’s definitely, in the early stages, a major strength for us.” Southeast’s first regular season game is at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 9 against Wright State in the Show Me Center.

Human vs. Zombies has been postponed this season at Southeast Missouri State University and organizers are still struggling to find a new date to play. The game was scheduled to be played on Oct. 24 and was temporarily cancelled due to a glitch in the registration process with the school. The group received notice of this issue the day before the planned starting date. “Our organization got information that somehow, due to a glitch in the system, we weren’t a registered organization on campus,” said Steven Myers, president of the HVZ group. “We were unable to get registered in time and get notification to the school in time in order to provide them with the necessary notice for them to approve the event.” Myers said that officers from the group have been working hard to fix this problem in hopes to hold this event some time in November. “It’s kind of a toss up about when we get it and how we get it because
of the glitch with not getting registered with the organization,” Myers said. “That’s one of our requirements with the university is we have to be a registered organization in order to put on this event.”
“Right now, we have 162 people signed up for the game this semester.” Chris Steinmann The cause of the problem has yet to be determined, but the game is expected to go on as planned, just on a later date. The trouble with changing the date of the event was getting the word out about the issue to all of the participants and anyone else who may be interested. Cassandra Daugette, co-advertiser of the event, said this task has been a bit of a challenge. “We have to figure out what to do with the wall outside the power plant because it has the wrong date on it, but it’s also that we have to find the time to fix it and seeing if we have it for enough time to fix it,” Daugette said.
“I’m really glad we didn’t spend a lot of money on flyers.” According to Chris Steinmann, vice-president of HVZ, there are usually 75 to 150 students who sign up for the game each semester, but this year they’ve had more success. “Right now, we have 162 people signed up for the game this semester,” Steinmann said. Daugette said she thinks the game might get more participants due to it being rescheduled. For some students, a later date works better for them, but it also depends on how much later it is as well. “The latest week we could possibly have it scheduled for, I think it would suffer because people are going to want to play,” Daugette said. “It’s going to be really cold, and they’re going to be really busy. But I think if we have it before Thanksgiving, it would still be successful.” The soonest the officers hope to have the event is Wednesday, Nov. 7. The decision will be made based on how fast the university processes the group’s information. Students interested in signing up and finding out when HVZ is rescheduled, visit www.hvzsource.com/ semo.

SHOW Me Center event DISNEY LIVE! MICKEY’S MUSIC FESTIVAL TO INCLUDE CHARACTERS FROM DISNEY MOVIES AND SHOWS
Disney Live! event brings classic characters to Show Me Center ANDREA GILS COPY EDITOR
Children and young-at-heart grown ups will be able to see Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy perform in Disney Live! Mickey’s Music Festival at Southeast Missouri State University. There will be other special guests, including Sebastian and Ursula from the Little Mermaid, Woody, Buzz and Jessie from Toy Story, and Aladdin, Jasmine and Genie from Aladdin. Disney Live! Mickey’s Music Festival is a rock festival that includes singing, dancing, acting and storytelling. Although the event is targeted to children and families, according to Show Me Center marketing director Joshua Hanlon, it is fun for people of all ages, and Disney shows have always been a success at the Show Me Center. According to Nick Manna, who will perform in the show as Buzz Lightyear from the Toy Story movies, the show is a rock concert for families, but families could be any age. “My grandparents came to the show, and they loved it,” Nick Manna said. “And my young nieces came, and, of course, they loved it as well.” Before performing in traveling shows, Manna danced in parades and shows at the Walt Disney Resort until 2010. “I was ready for a new experience, a new adventure. ... This is taking Disney to new cities and new places,” Manna said. Manna will rollerblade and dance in the opening number with Aladdin and will perform the scene “Out of Space” portraying Buzz Lightyear. As a ritual before starting every show, Manna said he gives a big hug to
Mickey Mouse. “He’s our boss,” Manna said. “He truly is such a rockstar, so it’s a nice hug like saying, ‘Have a great show, pal.’” Manna said children can run to the front of the stage and give characters a high five at Mickey’s Music Festival, which is a brand new show that has not travelled through the U.S. before. Manna has performed in different places, including Canada, Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, Singapore, Australia and the U.S. “I had a great experience in Australia, but honestly I’d say every country has been very welcoming to us,” Manna said. “I would recommend that if you had the opportunity, go travel overseas as much as you can. It’s a wonderful experience.” Manna said he does not get bored in his job. “Every city we travel to there is something new, a new experience,” Manna said. “Seeing families and children smile makes you love what you are doing.” Nick Manna will play Buzz Lightyear in Disney Live!

Crisp museum features environmentally friendly exhibits SAVANNA MAUE ONLINE EDITOR
Mother and son artists Jaune Quick-to-See Smith and Neal Ambrose-Smith are featured in the current exhibit at Rosemary Berkel and Harry L. Crisp II Museum at Southeast Missouri State University’s River Campus. The Tribal Diversity exhibit has been in the planning stages for over a year now and is being shown through Jan. 27. Quick-to-See Smith and Ambrose-Smith presented their works and have both lectured and offered workshops at a printmaking conference at the River Campus Nov. 1-3. “Compared to the other ones [exhibits] that we have done, this one I think for me has a stronger connection with the artists because I had to work with them to put this exhibit together,” museum director and art instructor Peter Nguyen said. Nguyen also said that he does not think the mother and son have worked together very much and that it is rare to have an exhibit where they show their work together.
Quick-to-See Smith became interested in the environmental aspects of art at an early age. She accredits this to her father and her tribe. Ambrose-Smith also cares about the environment and has been teaching non-toxic printmaking for five years. Quick-to-See Smith creates work addressing the myths of her ancestors in the context of current issues facing American Indians while Ambrose-Smith often mixes tribal imagery and humor with current events and political issues. “I would describe Neal’s work as more experimental. He’ll use many techniques, so I would describe them in the difference between the two. His work’s images to me are more contemporary and where as Jaune’s work is more traditional,” Nguyen said. Many of Ambrose-Smith’s newer works incorporate elements of his past such as comic books while also using aspects from his Native American heritages as well. AmbroseSmith’s pieces are classified as various media but are mainly classified as prints. During the Smiths’ lecture last
Wednesday, Ambrose-Smith said he began painting at 22 months old. From the time his mother gave him some chocolate pudding to eat, his style of art has constantly been evolving. Many of Ambrose-Smith’s earlier pieces centered around animals. From there he expanded his work to cover another aspect of his childhood. Ambrose-Smith spoke about his 1966 Batman comic book that was the basis for one of his prints. Recently he has completed a few more pieces using different printing types to achieve different styles. “Everything that I do is the complete opposite of what you are supposed to do in a professional print shop,” Ambrose-Smith said. “I break all of the traditional rules. I don’t use any newsprint; I put a shower curtain on the press bed because then I can just wipe it off. I’m not generating waste, and I’m not using water and I’m just cleaning up with a dry rag if there’s any residuals.” Quick-to-See Smith spoke about her son’s creativity saying, “My work is old fashioned compared to my son’s, who I consider to be cutting edge. My work is either a lithograph
or an etching, or it’s a wood cut because that’s the tradition that I came through.” Quick-to-See Smith’s work addresses issues pertaining to the Native American experience, especially what’s going on today. Nguyen said “even when we look at someone’s work we tend to look at what they’re focusing on, and even though they’re focusing just on specific subject matter if we look at it more broadly it can be applied to other elements and issues.” While lecturing Quick-To-See Smith said some of her main focuses are “humor, community and tribe. When we come together that is when America is the strongest. Nature and medicine are also together. Nature is our church; it is our place of worship. And medicine comes from the nature. Wisdom and knowledge are also for the elder people. We celebrate elders for their great wisdom.” Quick-to-See Smith has had over 100 solo exhibits in the past 40 years and has done printmaking projects nationwide. During that time, she organized and/or curated more than 30 Native American

GROWING campus
A NEW RESIDENCE HALL WILL BE LOCATED NEXT TO THE SEMINARY BUILDING
New River Campus residence hall to meet university need KELLY LU HOLDER ARROW REPORTER
The Southeast Missouri State University Board of Regents approved the building of a new residence hall at the River Campus, next to the existing seminary building. The board will decide on a final design for the hall at a meeting in December, and site work will be bid on in February. The goal is to have it complete by fall 2014. “We’ve been looking at our residence hall needs as an entire campus,” said Kathy Mangels, vice president of Finances and Administration. “We’ve been using some rooms at the Candlewood Suite Hotel, we’ve been deferring admissions in the summer and we’ve been deferring admissions come June and July. We’ve been saying we can’t take your application because we don’t have housing for you.” Mangels said the residence hall is being built at the River Campus to help meet the overall need for the campus. The conceptual design consists of a fourstory building, with a floor of academic space and three floors of living space with about 180 beds. A dining area, about the size of Olive’s in Merick Hall, also is being considered for the first floor. “We’re looking at this housing a little bit differently, trying to put in a little different style and mix,” Mangels said. According to Mangels, the university
is working on a couple different design options. One plan will feature a design similar to apartment housing with four single bedrooms and a common living room and kitchen area. Mangels said another idea for the residence hall, even though it may be the typical two-bed bedrooms like those in Merick Hall or Vandiver, is trying to work in a small living room. All of these designs include possibly working with enough room for a full size refrigerator. “We’re not just trying to add beds, but trying to add a different style of housing that we currently don’t offer in any of the other residence halls,” Mangels said. Mangels said when the university built the River Campus they did not move all Liberal Arts departments to the River Campus because of the budget for the project. Ceramics, woodworking, metalworking, art education and some components of music are on the main campus. Mangels said the university was not able to meet all of the students’ needs academically in that first building project. Liberal arts majors have more than doubled since then, and the university has added additional faculty who do not have a faculty office at the River Campus. The school needs more classroom space, and the university is at a point that enrollment can support some of that additional academic space. “When we look at residence halls, those are
Aerial shot shows two possible locations for the new River Campus residence hall. Submitted photo funded completely by the residence halls system, so that doesn’t come out of tuition or state appropriation,” Mangels said. “Anytime we build a new residence hall it has to be funded by the revenues coming in from selling those rooms and those meal plans.” Rhonda Weller-Stilson, associate dean to the College of Liberal Arts, said that students are interested in the residence hall near the River Campus. “When I lived on campus, a residence hall would have definitely been nice as long as there were places to eat, and I wouldn’t have to go to the main campus for that,” senior dance major Kelcey Matheny said. The growing number of majors in the School of Visual and Performing Arts has created a student population that requires the use of the River Campus facilities for extended hours, including rehearsals and project work. Southeast provides limited shuttle service from the main campus to the River Campus, but the facilities are locked at midnight. “I think the residence hall would be a great
addition,” musical theater major Noah Henry said. “For me, I have all but one class that is at the River Campus so sometimes taking shuttles can be a bit of a task. Also, on a couple of days I have about an hour and a half break between classes, so it’s almost pointless to go back to Towers.” “The great thing about building the residence hall is that students in the School of Visual and Performing Arts work late nights on projects and rehearsals,” Weller-Stilson said. “And it would be a nice transition for them to be so close to a dorm room.”

AUTHOR was PEN/O. Henry winner 2012 SAM RUDDICK WAS INVITED TO SPEAK AT SOUTHEAST AS THE FIRST SPEAKER OF THE NEW EMERGING WRITERS SERIES
Award-winning author will read his work on Southeast’s campus Sam Ruddick’s short story “Leak” was published in an anthology of PEN/O. Henry Prize short stories AMITY DOWNING ARROW STAFF WRITER
Sam Ruddick is published as a short fiction writer, but the award-winning author has finished his first fiction novel. He is currently working on a non-fiction novel about a personal family tragedy and said he next plans to conquer screenplays and make lots of money. Ruddick will read his short story entitled “Leak” on Nov. 13 at Southeast Missouri State University. “Leak,” which won the PEN/O. Henry Prize for being one of the best short stories published this year, is published in an anthology that includes 20 of the best short stories of the year entitled “The PEN/O. Henry Prize Stories 2012.” English department faculty member and coordinator of the series Dr. Lynn Watson said the invitation to speak at Southeast was extended to Ruddick as the start of an emerging writers series. Watson said the department wanted to begin a series for new and emerging writers. This particular writers series is more centered around those who have done a fair
amount of writing, are newly published and have the potential for being successful in the tough world of literature. “The more publicity we can get the newer writers, the better,” Watson said. “I feel like those people don’t really get the attention.” Ruddick teaches first-year writing at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. He has had a successful career as a short story writer, which is unusual, Watson said. Ruddick’s work has been published in topnotch literary magazines, such as The Threepenny Review and Glimmer Train. After he won the PEN/O. Henry prize, Watson felt it was a good time to invite him to Southeast. “This is the time to grab him, before he’s emerged,” Watson said. “Leak” is a short story about complicated relationships, involving adultery and an ex-girlfriend arriving unexpectedly to make pasta. Ruddick said the inspiration for his writing comes from whatever he is thinking about at the time, which includes anything from drinking to relationships. “I really have no idea what I’m doing,” Ruddick said. “I think that is the short answer.” Ruddick said recently he has been steering away from darker aspects of his work. “I’ve been branching out [and] putting more humor in my writing,” Ruddick said. “It used to be really dark. Now I’m more interested in making people laugh than disturbing them.”
Sam Ruddick will read his short story entitled “Leak” on Nov. 13 at Southeast Missouri State University. Submitted photo In his opinion, Ruddick said “Leak” is “utterly without darkness,” and readers may find humor in the characters’ situation. After adding 30 pages to the original short story, “Leak” became the first chapter of Ruddick’s latest fiction novel. “‘Leak’” is such an interesting story,” Watson said. “It’s a fun and sad story. It’s about relationships, and it’s something I think anybody and everybody can relate to, and it’s so well written.” Ruddick wrote more short stories in the past, but recently has been focusing on writing longer pieces of literature. In his writing, Ruddick is able to convey a complete story with precise words and language, Watson said. “I would describe his writing as economic
and evocative,” Watson said. “He uses language in such a way that we don’t have to be told everything. He hints at a larger story while still managing to bring the emotional depth to the story.” He is now working on a nonfiction novel and corresponding with a man that is in jail for raping and murdering Ruddick’s greatgrandmother when she was 75 years old. The man has been in prison for almost as long as Ruddick has been alive. She was murdered when he was 4 years old, and with the exception of immediate family, anyone who knew about the incident is dead, Ruddick said. He is considering visiting the man in prison at some point. Ruddick’s reading will be at 7:45 p.m. Nov. 13 in Johnson Hall room 200.

TWO decades of dedication DAVID HAHS HAS ANNOUNCED EVERY YEAR AT BASKETBALL GAMES SINCE 1988
Alumnus David Hahs spends his free time as PA announcer with him when he would visit Cape and his mother before she passed away.
BRAD CONWAY SPORTS EDITOR
Q: What advice would you give to anyone that wants to announce?
David Hahs graduated from Southeast Missouri State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in marketing in 1969. He became a news anchor for KFVS-TV his last year at Southeast. After he graduated, Hahs served two years in the Navy, then 20 more years in the Naval Reserve. Hahs has worked as a financial representative for Northwestern Mutual Life since 1972. He has also volunteered as a public address announcer for Southeast men’s basketball games for every year but the first year since the Show Me Center opened in 1987. His first experience as a PA announcer came at the Division II women’s basketball national finals during the first basketball season in the Show Me Center. He began announcing the men’s games the following fall after that national tournament. David Hahs replied via email.
A: Study people who you believe do a good job at their position. I always idolized Jack Buck because he made it easy to listen to him. I respect Vin Skully of the Dodgers, but he, along with Tim McCarver tend to wear me out over the course of an entire game. I think Joe Buck does a great job, and I think it is pretty amazing that a talent like our own local Erik Sean, the current SEMO play-byplay announcer, has not been snatched up by a larger market. He does an exceptional job.
Q: Do you have any pregame rituals? A: I always try to sit down with someone from the visiting team and have them pronounce any tricky names of members or the coach of the visiting team. I also like to get there 30 minutes before the game to make sure I have plenty of time to prepare my starting lineup announcements and run through the timeout announcements that are part of the game.
Q: What are your favorite moments from any Redhawk games? A: That women’s final game was very memorable. SEMO lost in the championship game, I believe to a team from one of the Dakotas. I also remember Jackson, Missouri’s Mike Lewis making a long basket (before the 3-point shot was introduced) to win a game by one point when we were still Division II. He took the shot right in front of my seat, and I could see it was going to be good all the way. There have been so many names over these [25 or 24] years that they are a blur, but a few stand out like Ronnie Rankin, Riley Ellis, Jewel Crawford, Michael Morris, Terry Mead, Otto Porter and Bud [Eley].
Q: Have you ever been recognized in public thanks to your voice? David Hahs is the public address announcer for Southeast basketball. Submitted photo
Q: Any memorable moments at Southeast?
University of Missouri-St. Louis where there was a melee that included some chairs being thrown around. I also recall going to the Division II men’s national tournament in Springfield, Mass., where SEMO missed two free throws with no time on the clock that would have put us into the championship game. I remember some great games at the old Houck Field House before my career as PA announcer began. I also remember doing radio play-by-play of a SEMO holiday tournament when Scotty Pippen played for a team from Arkansas that won the tournament two years in a row. I will always have a wide range of memories of Ron Shumate as head coach. I hosted his TV show for two seasons, and you could never predict what he might say or do during one of the shows.
A: I did a season as the color announcer on the radio broadcasts of the away games one season. I remember an incident at the
Q: Have you announced for any other games
Q: What do you like best about being an announcer? A: Getting to eavesdrop on the timeout huddles and the coaches’ instructions to the players. Having a great seat from which to watch the games. I enjoy the banter with the referees. Having the opportunity to help get the crowd excited and loud, although I get a letter from the OVC each year that instructs me to not show any partially, and of course I follow that instruction to the letter.
besides the Redhawks? A: The only other announcing I have done for SEMO was to announce the marching band shows for several years in the 1970s.
Q: What inspired you to become an announcer? A: Initially, as a sophomore at SEMO, I applied for a job as a radio disc jockey on the old KFVS radio station. I was a sophomore at SEMO the same year Rush Limbaugh was a sophomore in high school when he first was on the radio in Cape Girardeau on KGMO. He played rock ‘n’ roll and went by his ‘air name’ Rusty Sharp. I was prohibited from giving my name or any name over the air and had to play the ‘easy listening’ songs of the day like Perry Como, Barbara Streisand, Lawrence Welk and other exciting artists. I have been jealous of Rush ever since, though I have enjoyed a few golf games
A: Back in the days of the television news anchor position, there would be occasional recognition out in public, but that is not a fall out of this position. I have been gratified by the gracious compliments I have occasionally received from SEMO fans, who have said I have added to their enjoyment of the games. That is plenty reward for this volunteer position, plus I have the best seat in the house!
Q: What is the hardest part about announcing games? A: One of the biggest challenges was changing from the Indians to the Redhawks several years ago. Old habits are hard to break. My wife, Candy, is my biggest critic and would always point out those faux pas when the team accidentally reverted back to being the Indians. I also have an easier and more enjoyable time when the team is competing well. It is hard to stay engaged during a rout. It is also hard to stay unflustered when things get a bit hectic. I try to provide information I think I would want to know If I were sitting in the stands as a fan.
What are you looking forward to most during Thanksgiving break?
Julia Jones I’m excited not to have class and eat a lot of good food.
Jordan Jansen I’m looking forward to spending time with my family and pie ... Lots of pie.
Nathan Peters During break, I’m most looking forward to being surrounded by my whole family. We cram 19 cousins, aunts and uncles in our house together.

BALANCE
BALANCED U program at Southeast EATING IN MODERATION IS PART OF EATING HEALTHY
Chartwells offers students new food classification system JOSH HARTWIG ARROW REPORTER
Students on the campus of Southeast Missouri State University will now be able to make more educated food choices thanks to the implementation of an easy-to-use food classifying system. Chartwells Dining Services has recently integrated a visible, dietary “tool,” located near the menus at the University Center and Towers, to aid students in differentiating between healthy and unhealthy food choices. Simple icons explain the general dietary information.
“It’s really just knowing about nutrition. We are helping to explain what is healthy and what your needs are.” Trevor Sumner “It’s really just knowing about nutrition,” said Trevor Sumner, Chartwells’ marketing director. “We are helping to explain what is healthy and what your needs are.” According to Sumner, the biggest factor when it comes to eating healthy is learning to eat in moderation. “And that’s one of the toughest things to teach, like at Towers, which is
all-you-can-eat,” Sumner said. Portion sizing is also what Chartwells focuses a lot of its efforts on, and it is in the process of teaching and reinforcing that, according to Sumner. “What we’ve implemented is ‘Balanced U,’ and it’s our main nutritional program,” Sumner said. Several segments make up the Balanced U program. “One of the things that we’ve done is identified different food choices by using icons that make selections easier,” Sumner said. “For instance, we have identified things that are vegan, vegetarian, and we’ve come up with a general basic, ‘balanced’ icon, that is generally a good-for-you choice.” Chartwells has also designed specific parameters for the food choices offered at Southeast. “If it’s less than a certain number of calories or fat, it will be labeled as such,” Sumner said. Balanced U is not a specific dietary system, according to Sumner. “Part of this is also understanding portion size,” Sumner said. “For instance, a serving of chicken, the recommended portion size is about 3 oz. now. ... So that’s our biggest concern. It’s all about how you build your plate.” Food choices within this grouping rotate, and different options are available each week. According to Sumner, as part of this rotation concept, one of the requests received from students was an all-healthy menu. All whole food entrees available in the UC contain 350 calories or less, all grains are whole grains at
Student Rachel Stockham reaches for a bottle of water to go with her meal from the University Center. Photo by Nathan Hamilton 150 calories or less and the sides include a fruit or vegetable, which have 100 calories or less, according to Sumner. This all-healthy combo includes a bottled water, and costs less than $7. “The disappointing thing is that it is probably our least popular option,” Sumner said. “And it’s one of those challenges that we’re always up against. Not only is it healthy, but at the same time you’re going up against Papa John’s and Chick-Fil-A.” According to Sumner, rotations of options has been implemented for a year and a half. Chartwells registered dietitian Laura
Vollink said that if a student is interested in learning more about how to eat healthy on campus “Ask the RD” is a once-a-week question-and-answer event that rotates between the UC and Towers. “What we really do is identify healthy options that we are already offering that maybe the students haven’t thought of,” Vollink said. According to Vollink, “Ask the RD” focuses on the background as to which foods are classified as “healthy.” It also educates students and directs them towards healthy on-campus eating.

This semester has been one of the craziest, most stressful and most exciting times of my life. The Arrow staff has covered breaking news stories and are proud of the product that we are putting into print and online. We are also in a bit of a transition process. I am now the editor at the Arrow and Brad Conway has taken over my former position as sports editor. Even though I loved being in charge of our sports coverage, I know that this is going to be a great opportunity for me to grow as a leader while still being able to write about and cover sports. For those of you that don’t know me, I am a junior journalism major and am pursuing a minor in English literature. I’m 20 years old and from Union, Mo. One of the things that I love so much about the Arrow is that we are all (mostly) Cardinals baseball fans. I have watched games on TV and at Busch Stadium with my family since I was a little kid and was at Game 5 of the 2006 World Series. This year, the Arrow editors watched the “Some Nights you win the World Series” video on YouTube before every playoff game. Even though it didn’t help as much as we thought it would, it is awesome and I recommend everyone to take a look at it. I wrote for the Arrow last year and worked my way to staff writer status. After taking over as sports editor at the beginning of this year, I worked hard to make sure that we had consistent game coverage and used social media to inform readers what was going on. Speaking of social media, follow me on Twitter @ENeierARROW. I look forward to spending nearly all my time in the office and enjoying time with the staffers and editors.
