PARTY HARDY

Hendrix’s passion for parties by Jennifer Moulton

H

ell hath no fury like Hendrix students scorned. Over the last few weeks, complaints have been flooding the lines of communication to Student Senate regarding parties being shut down too early. After receiving such a staggering amount of feedback about the situation, Senate met with Residence Life to discuss the issue. The meeting resulted in an email distributed to all current Hendrix students describing the do’s and do not’s of sociality that would allow the parties to rock on.

Number one: no breaking bottles.

“There have been numerous instances of bottles being broken this semester at various places, which immediately becomes a huge safety hazard,” Holly Nelson, a resident life area coordinator for the Northside of campus, said.

“In some instances, students have thrown bottles right in front of the Public Safety officers.”

In all cases, Public Safety and Residence Life personnel appear on the party scene only after they have been called. Breaking bottles is a very easy way for that call to be made, and has presented the largest reason for the parties being cut short this semester.

The rest of the “party do’s and do not’s” list revolves around the very simple idea of respect.

“It may seem like at times everyone at Hendrix likes to party,” Dominique Kelleybrew, area coordinator for the Hendrix apartment complexes, said. “But the reality is that there are a lot more people who don’t like to party here than you might think, and we have to act in their interest.”

“Just because we show up doesn’t necessarily

mean we’re shutting something down,” Kelleybrew said. “Sometimes an event is perfectly cool, but there might be a person that we’re looking for, or a group of people that don’t belong on campus that are causing trouble. So just because we’re around doesn’t mean the party is over; it means we are there for a reason.”

Nelson elaborated on that reason by adding, “That reason is always safety; it’s not to end the fun. It’s to make sure you’re safe in whatever kind of situation that you’re in.”

However, not everyone agrees with this rationale for the curtailing of social activities.

The complaint heard most in the not-so-secret gossip bubbles floating around the small Hendrix community has been with the relocation of party hot spots. Students have expressed concerns about parties steadily being moved off campus, because this would actually increase safety hazards and put people in danger of being charged with DUIs. “It’s not really our job to coordinate what people do off campus,” Kelleybrew said in response to those concerns. “That’s not our jurisdiction. Anywhere [students] go, we hope they make good decisions. What we do is policy; but in fact, I would say that people get away with a lot more here than they would anywhere else.

Just don’t push those limits.”

Daniel Mark, resident life coordinator for the Southside of campus, expressed his opinions on how to respect the limits of social life by saying, “There is a time and a place for everything. Hendrix hosts a lot of on-campus parties,

usually at least once a month. And there are lots of smaller things where it’s still the right time and the right place, but having 400 people in the building at 4:00 a.m. on a Tuesday is not the right time or place and it’s bothering other people. If students are aware of their surroundings and the effect they’re having on the community, things could go a lot smoother.”

Trying to get things to go a lot smoother was the motive behind Student Senate President Neelam Vyas’ email.

“As a student, I was also noticing that parties were getting shut down early, I just didn’t know why,” Vyas said. “That’s when Senate invited Residence Life to our executive meeting just to have an honest conversation. Together we came up with this list of things that we can all do as a community that can make things safer and make the parties last later into the night, and I’m very happy with how that entire meeting turned out.”

Vyas went on to say, “Things were getting out of hand, with students breaking bottles and other dangerous incidents. And the thing was, students couldn’t really see these safety hazards from their perspective, but it was events like those that were really getting things shut down.

Hearing the reasoning behind the shut-downs made us all kind of shed our misconceptions about the entire situation.”

It helps for us to step back, reconsider our actions and behavior, and think about changes that we can make to make things better. Be smart, and party on.

College Republicans and Young Democrats

ON CAMPUS

F

or years, Hendrix has prided itself on being one of the finest liberal arts colleges in the country. With our renowned faculty and extensive course catalog, Hendrix truly epitomizes the “liberal arts” experience – with emphasis on the “liberal,” some would argue. In the eyes of outsiders, and often in the eyes of our own students, Hendrix is a pecan-covered sanctuary for hippie liberals. However, this statement is a generalization, and students from all walks of life are standing up for their ideas. Especially this year, with the reinvigoration of Young Democrats and

the formation of College Republicans on campus, students are expressing their views – even opposing ones – more than ever.

For the first time at Hendrix, both sides of the political spectrum will be represented this year in student-run clubs: the Young Democrats and College Republicans. Young Democrats, led by president sophomore Robert Taylor, is not a new club, but is beginning the year with new passion, with goals of voter education and greater turnout.

“I think one of the real reasons that we’re getting more engaged this year

is not only that we have one of the top three senate races in the country, but we have one of the most exciting possible comeback stories for Arkansas Democrats with Mike Ross running for governor,” Taylor said.

While the Young Democrats focus on these elections, the College Republicans are beginning from scratch, with MiMi Spjut and Susan Warren as co-chairs and Sam Spjut as vice-chair. The club was formed not as a rebuttal to the Young Democrats, but rather as a tool for furthering political education and discussion on campus. With only one side of

NEWS the spectrum represented until this year, the goal of College Republicans is simple: providing students with an opportunity to learn.

“Hendrix is a very diverse campus with a lot of great people,” sophomore MiMi Spjut said, “but there’s not really a place for students who are more conservative-minded to get together and talk.” Susan Warren, also a sophomore, agreed about the need for a new perspective being represented on campus.

“At Hendrix, sometimes we’re so open-minded that we become closed-minded to new ideas, especially the Republican point of view,” Warren said. “MiMi and I were both wanting to be able to talk to other Republicans and educate the public on our true beliefs.”

Taylor said he agrees on the need for representation on both sides of the spectrum, and it seems that the leaders of both clubs can agree that the presence of both Young Democrats and College Republicans will ultimately result in greater political involvement on campus.

“I think the juxtaposition will turn out more people to vote and keep more people politically engaged,” Taylor said.

Not only will involvement increase, but the goal of both clubs is also to encourage students to make more educated decisions, with the availability of opposing points of view to guide them. “Getting to know both sides of the political spectrum is so important for educated voting, so these clubs can really help with that,” Spjut said.

So, while the two clubs may not agree ideologically, they both realize the benefits of peaceful cohabitation on campus. “I really want the relationship to be that of a friendly partnership,” Spjut said. “Something that our generation will have to work on is the two parties working together, so we might as well start working on it now.”

Taylor agrees, and plans on not only coexisting with College Republicans, but also participating in collaborative events with them. “I hope we can hold some events together that are non-partisan, and maybe bridge a gap that way,” Taylor said.

The Young Democrats kicked off the school year with an event at Simon Park on the afternoon of September 21, with political speakers including candidate for governor, Mike Ross, and candidate for lieutenant governor, John Burkhalter.

The College Republicans are still solidifying their status as a club on campus, and will most likely not begin to host events until next semester. However, both clubs

are looking forward to increased student involvement, so don’t hesitate to join – even if it’s a change from your normal beliefs. After all, we can’t embrace our motto, “Unto the whole person,” until we can learn to listen.

“I think the juxtaposition will turn out more people to vote and keep more people politically engaged.”

the tradition

CRAWLS ON:

Hendrix Shirttails celebrates 100 years photo Wil Chandler

In the instant her knees hit the brick stone and her hands press together in the iconic Raney “nun” symbol, her final pose of the dance, the only thing freshman Amelia Grayson can hear is the sound of blood rushing in her ears. By Brooke Nelson

he breathes heavily. Beads of sweat roll down her forehead and hair sticks to her cheeks. There is a split second of silence as the music cuts out.

Then the rush of blood is replaced with a roar of approval from hundreds of raucous Hendrix students and alumni sitting around the perimeter of the Brick Pit, cheering as the girls from Raney bounced and waved their way back to their seats.

“The crowd’s energy was infectious,” Grayson said. “It filled me up.”

“The noise from that crowd … it was like a wave crashing over you. I could not stop smiling.”

Grayson is one of 337 freshmen who took part in this year’s Shirttails competition at Hendrix,

a long-standing tradition that celebrated its 100th anniversary this fall.

According to tradition, freshmen at Hendrix learn a five to ten minute dance with fellow dorm mates during the first week of class. At the end of the week, students don the timeless attire — shorts and a white, long-sleeve Oxford button up — and perform their dances in front of hundreds of spectators in the Brick Pit … Hendrix students and common folk alike.

However, this wasn’t always the tradition.

Shirttails began in 1913 with an incredible win over the University of Mississippi’s football team. Hendrix players paraded down Front Street in their dress shirts and boxers (hence the name “Shirttails”) to be greeted with accolades from the students bodies at both UCA and Cen-

tral Baptist and the rest of the Conway residents.

Yet Shirttails did not become a tradition right away. Instead, it evolved gradually over the course of the next 100 years into the highly competitive and anticipated dance contest that it is today.

In fact, it was during the late 1970’s and into the 1980’s that the tradition took off. In those days, Shirttails was known as “Shirttails Serenades”.

The freshman boys dressed in the iconic attire and performed their dance outside each of the girls’ dorms for the admiration and approval of the freshman women.

David Clemmons, now a high school history teacher in Dallas, Texas, took part in Shirttails in the fall of 1980 with East Hall, a temporary dorm at the time. Recently, he shared his experience.

The noise from that crowd … it was like a wave crashing over you.

I could not stop smiling.

“Few of us took it seriously [when we learned about Shirttails] and some even said, ‘Man, I ain’t doin’ that.’”

However, the boys’ attitudes quickly changed the next morning when they discovered that the women were very interested in the Serenades, and there were even rumors that the male dorm who won would be “highly desirable to all the women, not just freshmen women, on campus.”

“Needless to say,” Clemmons said, “by midnight of the second day, the East Hall men were a great deal more interested [in participating].”

After a week of rehearsing, the men of East Hall were deemed the winners.

“And so, for the fall of 1980, the men of East were the BMOC [big men on campus] for the freshmen women, if not in fact, then at least in our imaginations,” Clemmons concluded.

But for the freshmen who participated this year, Shirttails was much more than just a continuation of tradition.

“It was good team bonding,” Martin freshman Troy Koser said. “I wouldn’t say it was a breeze all the way through, but there were times when everyone just seemed to be in sync. It was a great feeling.”

Grayson agrees.

“I can’t imagine having not done it. It’s the best way to meet people, and make friends, and get yourself out there.”

Not only was this the largest group of freshmen to ever participate in Shirttails, but this an-

niversary also bucked the system by hosting the school’s first-ever pep rally, according to Shirttails Committee Co-Chair Laura Wagner.

“We wanted to bring together more of the student body, because that’s the whole purpose of Shirttails,” Wagner said.

This year brought the student body together in more ways than the committee could have imagined. Not only did current Hendrix students participate in the week’s festivities, but alumni from across the country convened to participate in the “monumental anniversary”, according to Wagner.

Sheryl Burt, a member of the class of 2013 at Hendrix, was among those who returned.

“Coming back for the 100th ... the experience was similar to [when I was at Hendrix], but I felt like I was coming home,” Burt said.

“The tradition never dies,” Wagner explained.

“You’re still just as proud that you did it freshman year as you are senior year when you leave.

I’m sure I’ll end up coming back at some point.”

But let’s not forget that Shirttails isn’t all about the experience — it’s also a competition. This

year, it was the Martin men and the Couch ladies who took home the trophy.

“When they called our name, I was so excited,” Couch freshman Katie Dobbins recalled. “But I think our choreographers were more excited than all of us.”

“All the alumni were so proud of us, and the choreographers were crying.” Kosier said. “It definitely cemented the feeling that we actually did something pretty special.”

Shirttails is indeed ‘something very special’.

When asked to give advice to future participants of Shirttails, everyone agreed on one thing: “If you’re wondering, do it. There’s no choice in the matter,” Grayson said. “It’s the experience of a lifetime.”

“It was one of my best memories so far,” Dobbins agreed.

Any further advice?

“Get some elbow pads. Get some knee pads,” Kosier said.

In the true spirit of Shirttails tradition: no pain, no gain.

Editors Note: Courtesy of the Arkansas Times, this story was originally published in the November 1980 edition as the fourth installment of a five-part series on higher education in Arkansas. Despite 33 years since being published, it is interesting to note the continuities of the Hendrix learning tradition while also keeping in mind the physical differences in the campus, such as the Mabee Center or the subterranean library, both of which are no longer features at Hendrix.

The Doughboy Memorial Statue is barricaded in preparation of a restoration in 1981. The statue was also restored before it was moved to its current post in front of the new Young-Wise Stadium.

ed-Brick Georgian buildings connected by sidewalks dominate the Hendrix College campus, a tree-shaded parcel of land on the outskirts of Conway. The campus is an interesting conciliation of old with new, the hallmark of both being the genteel milieu of the Southern aristocracy. An aged wall made of native stone and inscribed at intervals with the names of Hendrix graduates dating from early in this century guards the southwest corner of the campus, while across the way in the northeast corner, separated from the rest of the campus by Highway 64-65, are tennis courts, athletic fields and the new Mabee Indoor Sports Center. Between these poles of solidity and activity lies the rest of the campus, which

centers on a beautiful, terraced, open courtyard.

This area, paved with wood chips, is presided over by gnarled old trees in big, brick planters and a rectangular fountain. A large, bricktopped mound looms off to one side over what is actually the school’s library, an underground, two-story building containing over 125,000 volumes.

In the Mills Social Science Center (built in 1975 and named for former Congressman Wilbur Mills) across the courtyard from the library, a class in Russian history tries to intellectually fulfill the promise of the aesthetic physical setting. The classroom is modern – carpeted and air conditioned, with one long, thin window in the rear and plastic desks, plus fluorescent lights inset into the ceiling panels. A map and

projection screen are above the blackboard up front, behind a long desk with a podium on top and brightly colored plastic wastebasket below.

The blackboard is flanked by two side-boards with cut-out construction paper displays such as elementary school teachers are fond of: one says “Visit New Land With Reading” and the other is entitled “ An Adventure in Wonderland.” The professor is young, in his thirties, with swept-back blondish hair and darker beard. He dresses almost as informally as the students, wearing a tie but no jacket, with his shirt sleeves rolled upon his forearms. Before he begins the lecture he writes “The worst time for a bad government is when it seems to mend the error of its ways. – A. De Toqueville” on the board, along with the names of some Russian and East European political leaders o the 1950s and ‘60s – Khruschev, Beria, Imre Nagy and the like. Once he begins lecturing, the professor paces back and forth in front of the class, gesturing with his hands and barely pausing to put on reading glasses before occasionally referring to his notes. Sometimes he perches on a desk to one side and faces the door, talking over his shoulder to the class. The lecture is given in the present tense, like a newsreel, as if the events described had just happened: “Malenkov accepts a position of authority in the Politboro, but for a period of months after Stalin’s death the world is not sure what is going on in the Kremlin . . .” The students, eleven men and four women, scribble furiously, rarely glancing up from their notes, although several will murmur in answer to a rhetorical question posed during the lecture. After the hour class period ends, two stay behind another ten minutes to talk with the professor about upcoming term papers. The class is an impressive display of scholarship and pedagogy and, more importantly, is typical of the educational climate that prevails at Hendrix.

Academics are stressed; social, athletic and other pursuits are not neglected, but tend to rate as secondary considerations. Hendrix is a small, private, Methodist-affiliated liberal arts college seeking first and foremost to educate, in the classic sense. As one professor puts it, “To be a

THEN & NOW

Arkansas’s Ivy League Alternative

By Eugene Richard Hendrix graduate, you really ought to be able to write the English language and communicate.”

Another faculty member says: “Hendrix develops a taste for relatives and ambiguities.” But a student perhaps sums it up best: “At Hendrix, they teach you to think.”

It is a harder goal than first appearances might indicate, and certainly more intangible and subjective than simply preparing someone for a particular career by imparting a limited set of facts in a particular field. At the heart of the Hendrix approach is a rapport between teacher and student. The impromptu meeting after class is a fairly common occurrence throughout the school. Most professors can sit down with a class list and know the intended major and basic personality of almost every one of their students.

This stems from small classes – each course has a predetermined enrollment limit, usually twenty or thirty students – that is possible because of the overall size of the college. With 1,000 students taught by sixty faculty members, professors often teach individual students more than once, in classes small enough to permit familiarity.

Whatever the system, however, the quality of both faculty and student body would probably insure the availability of a fine education at Hendrix. Over four-fifths of the faculty hold terminal degrees, often from Ivy League or similarly prestigious universities. The students are less diverse nationally (80 percent are Arkansans), but are also academically gifted. Half graduated in the upper quarter of their high school class, and their mean high school grade point average is 3.3 out of a possible 4. As one coed says: “It seems like everyone here was either president of his senior class or yearbook editor.” Some 65 percent go on to graduate or professional school – particularly in the medical sciences – after graduating from Hendrix, spreading out to quality schools nationwide. As you might expect, all this doesn’t come cheaply – the inclusive cost to the student of a year’s schooling at Hendrix runs between $3,500 and $4,000 (that is still less than at many comparable schools), and this figure is only part of the actual cost to the school of

educating each student. Hendrix supplements tuition with the income from the college’s approximately $15 million endowment, plus about half a million dollars yearly from other sources, such as gifts. Over half the students receive financial assistance. Another characteristic of the student body is that Hendrix remains largely the province of the white upper and middle classes; around five percent of the student body is composed of minorities and ethnics. Although most private liberal arts colleges have fewer minority students than neighboring public universities, presumably because of their expense and academic difficulty, the Hendrix figure still seems abnormally low. Rudy Pollan, Director of Admission, states “We recruit everyone with equal vigor. The percentage of minorities has traditionally been around five percent,” and leaves the matter at that. In effect it appears affirmative action has passed Hendrix by.

Despite the emphasis on academics, Hendrix is far from being an arid educational sweatshop.

The college evidences spirit in the best traditions of collegiate frivolity and sociability. There are no fraternities on campus, but assorted recreational and cultural organizations are active. Most students participate in intramural sports, which are more emphasized than intercollegiate athletics (there is no varsity football team, although basketball is avidly supported).

Unofficial activities are especially savory. Over the years, the individual dorms have taken on a kind of personality reflecting the type of student who lives there. The dorms all have collegiatesounding names like Martin or Galloway Hall, but various floors and sections within the halls have nicknames like “Animal Alley,” which more or less speaks for itself, and such as “The Petticoat Gals” and “Boardwalk.” “PKs” (shorthand for “preachers’ kids”) stalk the campus in large numbers and the nearby Morgan Exit on Interstate 40 past the Pulaski County line is a venerable watering hold for students seeking an escape from liquor-free Faulkner County. And then there is “Goat Roast,” a yearly spring bacchanal planned and publicized by a self-select group of students. The committee makes arrangements

1970

and sells tickets to the school-wide party, which is held at various sites around central Arkansas; the exact location is changed each year and kept quiet in deference to the local authorities. The students roast dozens of goats on spits, enjoy food and other refreshments and just generally horse around. Everyone is said to have a grand, if probably illegal, time. Manic dorm life and Goat Roast notwithstanding, however, the social whirl at Hendrix is less active than that at some other schools in Arkansas. The demands of study assure that.

Hendrix’s limits are generally of scale; it basically does well that which it attempts (chemistry, biology, religion, and philosophy are especially strong departments), but certain activities are simply recognized as being beyond the school’s budget. A more fundamental problem is the school’s parochialism. With so many Arkansan enrollees, the vital collegiate experience of meeting and interacting with students from different cultural backgrounds is largely missing. The school is good enough to compete for students nationwide, but this would require an expanded, aggressive recruitment campaign. Whether Hendrix chooses to broaden its perspectives, and whether such a decision would be successful, remains to be seen. In the meantime, Hendrix is the best private college in the state offering a truly liberal education (most other private schools in the state are basically conservative in philosophy). There is a strong sense of community, developed of tradition and the shared experience of academic intensity in liberal arts plus campus residency (the vast majority of students live in dorms). Hendrix has the academic ideals, lukewarm church affiliation and diffident disdain for big-time athletics that characterizes Ivy League schools, but Hendrix is no Harvard or Yale. It is smaller and, in the final analysis, softer than its hard-nosed Eastern cousins.

Hendrix’ personable processors, concentrating on teaching rather than research or community service, provide for an excellent education by nurturing more than bloodying their students.

Combined with a campus of timeless beauty, it is hard to ask for much more from a college.

FOOTBALL RETURNS TO HENDRIX The Warriors kick off first game in 53 years

lazing heat beat down on the turf and metal bleachers. Hundreds of students, parents, alums and faculty fought heat exhaustion and dehydration to experience the first big game of the year. With a successful kickoff, the Hendrix Warriors football team played offense for the first time in 53 years.

As quick as the first play started, it ended in disaster. With the quarterback sacked in the first ten seconds of the game, the student section’s energy

“There was a fear that adding something new to the equation would change what Hendrix was, and because the students care so passionately about Hendrix, they were very nervous that this addition would change it in a negative way,” Jim Wiltgen, Dean of Students, said.

As the football program’s first on campus recruit, sophomore Hunter Lawler experienced doubt amongst his peers.

“This is my second year at Hendrix, and I was nervous “There was a fear that adding about what the something new to the equation student body would think about football last year. There deflated.

“There were some concerns about cost, Wiltgen said. “The neat thing about Division III football is that the tuition gained by adding people that probably would have never came here before and leading to our largest class in history is that the Division III athletics actually pay for themselves because you attract students that want to come to the campus.”

Despite having a brand new and expensive football program, the program actually pays for itself.

“Because you don’t give scholarships, they actually pay for the program with their participation,” Wiltgen said.

Adding football to the equation is not a ploy to attract more students or please alumni; the administration aimed to fix a minor problem in enrollment statistics.

“The trend in colleges across the nation is that there are more women going to school than males. We were starting to get that way a little bit,” Buchanan said.

Administrators saw this as an opportunity to mend the gender gap.

service to student-soldiers Young-Wise Stadium offers chance to reflect, remember

W

ilfred Owen’s poem “Dulce et Decorum est” – It is sweet and right [to die for one’s country] – can be interpreted in multiple ways.

That said, the prevailing explanation is that Owen is condemning the horrors of war and asking the question if it is truly worth it to die for one’s country.

That question can be debated.

However, the question of whether we, as the country receiving the sacrifice, should honor the soldier has a much simpler answer.

We should commemorate the valor displayed by soldiers in sacrificing their life.

We should look to these sacrifices with reflective contemplation. Maybe even inspiration.

Hendrix College has taken this stance with the naming of the new football stadium. Instead of exploring corporate sponsorship, Hendrix chose to blend the old with the new, creating the Young-Wise Stadium.

The new stadium pays homage to Lt. Robert W. Young, a Hendrix graduate in 1915 to whom the original Young Stadium, which stood from 1923-1973, owed its name. Young died in World War I while fighting in the Argonne Forest in France in 1918.

Linking the past to the present, the new 1500 seat stadium also recognizes brothers Jeremy and Benjamin Wise.

Jeremy, who graduated Hendrix in 1998, was a Navy SEAL until making the ultimate sacrifice in December 2009 while working for the CIA in Afghanistan. Benjamin graduated in 1999 from Hendrix and was a Green Beret before he died of injuries sustained during fighting in northern Afghanistan.

“This college recognized after the greatest international conflict of all time, the

Great War, that [there should be a memorial], and I think it is unfortunate that we had such a horrifically and tragic situation with two of the Hendrix family from the same family lose their lives,” Acting President Ellis Arnold said.

Because of this tragedy, Hendrix decided that it would be appropriate to dedicate the stadium to the three alumni in recognition of their service and valor.

“I think it will serve as a constant reminder to us all that we have a lot to be thankful for and a lot of people who have given themselves to help create a place where we can go to college, go to football games, and enjoy athletic events in a normal way,” Arnold said.

But the stadium is not the only reminder.

The World War I Doughboy Statue, originally constructed in 1920 and long enshrined behind the Mills building, has been restored and is now the centerpiece of a memorial to Young as well as the Wise brothers between the Wellness and Athletic Center and the stadium.

Along with the iconic statue, the Wise brothers will also be honored in the memorial to be unveiled on

Nov. 9 before the game against Rhodes College.

Determined by a committee of Hendrix Alumni and a student, the Wise brothers memorials will each be on a corner of the memorial. Each will feature a military helmet cutout in negative space through which one can see the Doughboy Statue, figuratively connecting the sacrifice of Hendrix students nearly a century apart.

“Internally and for the close-knit Hendrix group, there is this element of tradition, but, much more significantly I think for the greater community, I hope that [the memorial] demonstrates an institutional appreciation for those who serve our country in whatever capacity that might be,” Arnold said.

Even if not interested in the football games, every Hendrix student should appreciate and recognize the sacrifice that Young and the Wise brothers made.

War is full of terrible horrors.

But equally great should be the respect given to those who give their lives in service.

EDITORIAL

“

“Over the last 20 years or so our country as a whole has probably come to appreciate the sacrifice of people who represent our country in the armed forces. So I think that things that we can do individually or institutionally that lift up veterans or those who have, in this case, made the ultimate sacrifice, that it is appropriate for us to find ways to thank them and recognize them and lift them up. Thirty or 40 years ago, I don’t think that as a

country we had so many debates about virtues or lack thereof in certain conflicts that we were involved in, and as a result of that, unfortunately, we didn’t necessarily realize the people that were involved in those conflicts, most of them didn’t go voluntarily, and we didn’t give them, I don’t think, the recognition and appreciation that they deserved. So I just think this is an opportunity.”

– Acting President Ellis Arnold

The Warriors went on to defeat the Gents 3-1 behind two goals from sophomore Will Dunaway. “I knew we’d come out strong and I’m glad I was able to find the back of the net twice,” Dunaway said. “As a whole we came out very determined to reassert ourselves after a hard loss to Ozarks. I was very happy, as was the rest of the team with our performance.”

despite youth, Warriors Soccer looking to achieve

O

n a relatively cool Saturday afternoon, the Hendrix men’s soccer team warms up before their first game in the Warrior Classic tournament. The Warriors would go on to beat Centenary College 3-1 in regulation play, tie with the University of Texas at Tyler, and win the tournament.

“I’m proud of the fact that we won our tournament for the second year in a row,” Doug Mello, head coach of the men’s team said.

There are currently no seniors on the men’s or women’s teams; the majority of players are underclassmen.

“We’re a building program,” junior Greg Gandy, captain for the men’s team said.

Development of the team has been key. The captains are Gandy (MVP of the tournament) and sophomore Jacob Pierce. The starting lineup for the game against Centenary was comprised of two juniors, four freshmen, and five sophomores.

“We’re a lot stronger and more coherent,” Gandy said.

Mello clearly defined his goal as having “a program that’s well run with good team chemistry. That being said, it’s about wins and losses.”

The team will has played their first home game aganist Millsaps College on Oct. 5, and will host Berry College on Oct. 11 at 8 p.m.

“We want to win as many conference games as possible,” Mello

said. “All teams make it to the tournament.”

Hendrix will be hosting the Southern Athletic Association conference tournament for men’s soccer. All teams in the conference will participate, and will be ranked according to conference record.

The men’s team has not yet lost a home game. Freshman Denzel Bazard and sophomore Will Dunaway agreed that having a home crowd helped.

“I think that’s why we’ve never lost at home,” Bazard said.

The men’s team has 34 players on the roster, with only four juniors. The rest are freshmen and sophomores.

“We have a strong freshman class,” Dunaway said, “We had a strong freshman class last year so now we have a strong sophomore class [as well].”

The women’s soccer team is in a similar situation. The team has no seniors and few juniors, meaning larger numbers of freshman (19 out of the 29 on roster) and sophomores. They too have had to undergo a development period.

“If you don’t play well in a college soccer game, you’re going to lose,” Jim Evans, head coach of the women’s soccer team, said.

Despite having few upperclassmen, the team is still larger than before.

“We have 29 people on our roster,” Evans said. “We’ve never had that many.”

This large roster helps the team to not rely on one set of people.

Even with several players falling ill, there is enough depth for the team to play well.

“Every player has played at least a big chunk of a game,” Evans said.

Leadership and camaraderie have also posed little trouble. The nonfreshmen have acted as “lieutenants” for the captains.

“We’ve been together for a month, but we already feel like we’ve known each other for a long time,” freshman Katherin Aristondo said.

Women Basketball’s New Coach

Football undefeated at home

Former men’s basketball assistant coach Drew Gaeng has been named the interim head coach for the women’s team after Emily Cummins resigned. Gaeng was an assistant coach for four years, starting after he graduated from Roanoke College in 2009. At Roanoke Gaeng was captain and point guard for the basketball team. In addition to serving as an assistant coach, Gaeng also received his Masters of Arts in Accounting with Hendrix.

After playing and winning its first game in 53 years, Hendrix was unable to start a winning streak, losing the following week at BirminghamSouthern 35-32. However, Hendrix remains undefeated at home since 1960 following their 48-29 romp over Southwestern on Sept. 28.

The Warriors look to extend their home winning streak aganist Washington University on Oct. 12 and Berry College on Oct. 19.

Orange and Black Swim Meet In the annual Orange and Black Intrasquad Meet, the Orange team prevailed by two points. Events included the 500 freestyle, 200 IM, but not the mile or the 1000. “I feel that [the meet] brough the team closer together, but at the same time the friendly competition got us pumped up for the upcoming season,” freshman Abby Schlenk said.

national champion: Warrior WINS HEPTATHLON

S

tudents always get the same response when telling someone how they plan on being a pre-med major, “Hah, we’ll see how long that lasts.” It’s one of the most strenuous course loads at college or university, and a valid display of determination for any brave soul that tries to juggle the athletic side of the college high-life.

However, senior Elizabeth Krug proved that she could manage her academic and social life with sports. This past May, Elizabeth represented Hendrix at the NCAA Division III Outdoor Championships at Roger-Harring Stadium, winning the heptathlon and becoming a National Champion.

Coming into the Hendrix scene with six years of track and field under her belt, Krug said at first she was not aware the track team existed.

“When I applied and decided to come here, I wasn’t even thinking about sports,” Krug said. “I had a pre-med major in mind and knew that med-students really strived here. Though, I heard they had a track and field team, so I decided I should try it out; see if I liked it.”

Not realizing just how far this decision would take her, Krug is grateful to have had so many previous years of training, which really influenced and motivated her to always keep going.

“In middle and high school, to avoid having to do the normal four events plus the mile, I made my coach a deal that I would do any six events—as long as it didn’t include the mile,” Krug said. “So, all through high school I was already used to having a heavy load. When I first heard about the heptathlon, though, it was because my sister competed in one her senior year.

That’s what really got me interested.”

In the long run, starting as a sophomore in high school gave Krug a huge advantage in the preparation and training process, since most athletes do not start training for competitions as large as heptathlons until they’re at least

in college. Though, the rise to the top wasn’t a smooth step-by-step process.

“If you had asked me at the beginning of high school if I ever pictured myself here it would be far from yes,” Krug said. “I remember not even wanting to run in high school, and I wouldn’t have if it weren’t for one of my coaches. I was a big basketball player, as well as tennis, track and cross-country, and if it weren’t for my eighthgrade basketball coach practically forcing me to continue running in high school, I don’t know where I would be.”

Back at school and creeping closer and closer to graduation, Krug will always be thankful and proud of how far she has come.

“I remember that coming into the competition, I was among the top three competitors to watch,” Krug said. “Though, I was practically knocked out in the second event on the first day; I [was] sobbing.

My coach came in, put his hand on his head and said, ‘it’s a shame everyone’s doing so badly, today.’

It made me feel better, because he was trying to tell me that just because I was doing bad now, doesn’t mean it’s all over—I had the entire competition left. Going from my worst in years to winning the whole event was such an inspirational feeling, and got me really excited for what could come next. I’m thinking getting a win at the Indoor Competition this year could be the next best thing.”

INNOVATING

THE “NEW” SCARE Horror in the 1960s and today

A

side from the blood, gore, dramatic music, violence, suspense, dark rooms, creepy old people, odd-things that jump out at the screen and terrible decision-making, I love horror movies!

The horror genre has been around since the beginning of film and has always been one of the most competitive genres in the industry.

Throughout the years, studios and directors have plotted and strategized to develop the most effective method for scaring you.

It’s surprising, to a horror wimp like me, that people keep coming back for that “new” scare.

Whether it is gory like “Saw” (James Wan, 2004), suspenseful like “Signs” (M. Night Shyamalan, 2002), or a “discovered footage” film like “The Blair Witch Project” (Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez, 1999), horror directors have mastered the formula to scare us.

Innovation, they discovered, works best to bait you into buying a ticket.

In the 1960’s, Alfred Hitchcock was the greatest innovator of his time, taking some of the subtler fears (vertigo and birds) and manipulating them to produce timeless masterpieces; he’s pretty much the James P. “Sulley” Sullivan of the scaring-business (bonus points if you understand that reference).

His 1960 film, “Psycho,” is one of the greatest horror films of all time, and quite possibly the most popular film from the 1960’s.

The innovative blend in “Psycho” of scan-

By Connor Newton dal and mystery scare the viewer more than the murders of the film. Hitchcock, in his infamous shower scene, and throughout the film, removes the visual aspect of murder from the film, leaving only the inferred to scare the viewer.

The best recent horror film has to be “The Cabin in the Woods” (Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon, 2012), written and produced by Joss Whedon — yes Whedon fans; he wrote a horror movie, and it’s amazing.

The athlete, the virgin, the dumb-blonde, the brainiac, and the stoner, Whedon takes all the archetypal figures of the horror world and pits them against the genre itself.

In “Cabin”, Whedon satirizes the “commercial formula” for making a horror film, by purposefully making a stereotypical horror film where the characters realize they are in a horror film. The movie shifts between ominous, dark scenes of college kids running for their lives, and the bright control room where the “writers” manipulate the kid’s environment ensuring a good “show” for the “director”.

Whedon fills “Cabin” with the witty dialogue you’d expect from his writing, which makes the film enjoyable to watch, while also scaring you with all the “Backwoods-Redneck-Zombie-Family” you deserve in a good horror film.

Whedon’s innovative idea to poke fun at the genre and show us “the making” of the genre we enjoy gives “Cabin” a unique feeling that will make it distinct for years to come.

“Psycho” and “The Cabin in the Woods” were, and are, innovative and amazing films that feature great writing and carefully thought out plots, and will live long in the canon of horror films.

THE OLD SCHOOL:

Bob’s Grill has been serving up smiles for 54 years and counting

W

ith its bustling roundabouts and assorted strip malls, Conway is a place that Hendrix students have come to know and (hopefully) love. With Oak Street as our backyard, our options are endless — Rally’s, Jimmy John’s, the taco truck — and the list goes on. Our biggest debate when our tummies are rumbling is whether to get donuts from Shipley’s or Dunkin, and with the conveniently located Baskin Robbins, we can always finish off breakfast with a nice scoop of Rocky Road. But what if we’re looking for a change of pace? Sometimes, to escape the fast pace of college life, it’s good to take a step back and reminisce about a simpler Conway.

Bob’s Grill, the oldest restaurant in town, offers wholesome Southern cooking with a side of friendly service. Open since 1959, Bob’s Grill began as a Mexican restaurant on Chestnut, but moved to its current location at 1112 Oak Street in 1980 and became the first pizzeria in town. Bob Green, the original “Bob,” ran the restaurant until his daughters took it over and gave it a South-

ern-style makeover, transforming it into a haven of home-plate country cooking.

The current owner, Leslie Marshall, has been running Bob’s since she purchased it in 2004.

Last December, she decided to make a switch from a buffet-style lunch line, which had been the tradition since the early 90’s, to waitress-style service. The menu stayed the same, featuring favorites like meatloaf, fried chicken, chicken and dressing, and more. Now, with the more personalized dining, customers are able to interact with their servers.

“All my waitresses know 70 percent of my customers by name,” Marshall said. The service doesn’t stop there; with all the local businesses surrounding Bob’s in downtown Conway, the lunch rush is amplified during weekdays. “They call us, and when we have a lull in business, we run their food down to them,” Marshall said.

Normal business hours are 5 a.m. to 2 p.m. seven days a week, but Bob’s is also open on Tuesdays and Thursdays for dinner, which is when they hold Bingo night. Plenty of regulars

show up to play Bingo, but there are even more people who come simply to eat and socialize during the day. “I have plenty of people who come and eat breakfast and lunch here seven days a week,” Marshall said.

It’s no mystery why they keep coming back — the food is delicious. In addition to the lunch buffet, Bob’s has an extensive breakfast menu as well as lunch items apart from the buffet, including sandwiches and burgers. My cheddar cheeseburger was the best one I’ve found in Conway so far, and the seasoned fries are perfectly crispy. I can vouch for the chocolate pie and Oreo pie as well — yes, I had to try both — and they’re everything that homemade pies should dream of being, with a mile-high meringue on the chocolate and a crumbly cookie crust for the Oreo.

I can’t wait to go back and try the buffet blueplate special, and hopefully some of you can stray from Taco Bell one day and give the old-school a new chance. For anyone who’s a fan of homecooked goodness paired with friendly smiles, Bob’s Grill is the place for you.
