Herald for November 10

The Student Government Association met Tuesday Nov. 4 to discuss a new campus law that will settle the debate on smokeless tobacco on campus and whether the use of electron-ic cigarettes will continue to be allowed on all campus grounds.

Electronic cigarettes, or E-Cigs have become increas-ingly popular over the past year. The concept of E-Cigs is to allow the user to smoke ciga-rettes without smoke inhalation through what is called “vaping.”

The user puts a juice inside and the device converts it to va-por for the user to inhale. Juices are usually flavored and contain high concentrations of nicotine, the chemical that supposedly makes cigarettes addicting.

Under Arkansas Law, A-State is a smoke free campus and cigarettes cannot be used on campus grounds. The invention of the E-Cig has made students question the limits of the law and if “vaping” is acceptable since there is no actual smoke.

Currently there are no pol-icies in the general student handbook that prevent stu-dents from vaping on campus. Smokeless tobacco is prohibited in intermural facilities on cam-pus as well as specific colleges, such as the College of Nursing.

The discussion began with president Logan Mustain read-ing the already established

Non-traditional student appreciation week, held by the Non-Traditional Student Ser-vices, has raised awareness of the roles of non-traditional students at A-State.

Non-traditional students are those who are returning to col-lege after a period of time out of school. “They have real world ex-periences as far as they may have worked already or they may have learned different things, lives and lessons. They can bring them to the classroom, and they can con-tinue to contribute to the discus-sion,” said Candace Williams, program coordinator of the Mul-ticultural Center.

She said, however, non-tra-ditional students are sometimes overlooked and not appreciated the same way traditional students are.

“This week is our oppor-tunity to let them know that we appreciate them and we’re here as support and resources. This is the way to celebrate them as well as to show them we continue to sup-port them,” Williams said.

She said some of the non-tra-ditional students face problems at college because they might not

have the technological and study-ing skill sets traditional students have.

Non-Traditional Student Ser-vices offers tutoring and a writing center to help those students. The Services also have several scholar-ships for non-traditional students.

Angelia Smith, graduate stu-dent and agriculture business major of Mariana, is a non-tra-ditional student who has felt the difficulties of time management between school work and house-work as a mother.

She said, “I would like to be on campus or in the library more, but because of my home and my kid’s activities, I cannot always spend the time I would like to here.”

Yet Smith said non-tradition-al students should be more of role models or examples at col-lege. “We can offer a lot of advice through our experience to other students. I think we have to really get in and excel at school. We can work as hard and be as smart as traditional students,” she said.

Business Plan, 4A

A-State students had the opportunity to show off their business plans to win money in the 7th Annual Business Plan Competition held Thursday, Nov. 7. Students from A-State Beebe and Jonesboro campus-es competed for the chance to enter the Donald W. Reynolds Governor’s Cup, a state-level business plan competition held at the Arkansas Capitol in Lit-tle Rock.

The Business Plan Compe-tition was created by Associate Professor of Management Er-ick Chang as an opportuni-ty for students to pitch their business ideas to business owners in the community.

“This is a college-level busi-ness plan competition. We use it for students who are inter-ested in developing business plans, are creative and want to start businesses of their own. This is their first step,” Chang said. “We also use this com-petition as preparation for the Governor’s Cup.”

According to the Arkansas Capitol website, The Donald W. Reynolds Governor’s Cup is a collegiate business plan competition where partici-pants have the chance to win cash prices. The 2015 prize pool is $154,000, which the Arkansas Capitol website says is one of the largest collegiate

business plan cash prize pools in the United States.

The requirements for the A-State competition include a two-page business plan proposal from participating groups. This plan is sent to the judges who decide if the idea has merit, and then the cho-sen groups present their plan at the competition. This year’s competition took place in the Delta Economic Center from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m.

There are undergraduate, graduate and freshmen levels of competition.

This year 28 plans from 118 undergraduate and graduate

students were presented in five different colleges: agriculture, business, communications, en-gineering, humanities and so-cial sciences, and science and mathematics.

Winners took home a $300 cash prize, and second place was awarded $200.

The winner of the graduate category was Power Partners, an electricity tracking sys-tem that allows saving money and energy at the same time. Team members included Inna Mukhametova, Chad Lacy, Ja-cob Vickery and Serigne Diop.

Second place went to Transformative Solutions, a

multi-functional pull-down faucet with various attach-ments specially designed for bathroom sinks. Team mem-bers included Shuai Ma, Sarah Panhorst, Gretchen Burns and Dung Vu.

In the undergraduate cate-gory, Joshua Baker, Dirk Tan-ner, Kenneth Rains, Franklin Kelley and Justin Bagley won with their Agriculture Inno-vations plan, a sensor-driven automated irrigation system that can be monitored from a smartphone.

Sarah Thompson| Staff PhotographerLieutenant Colonel Cecil Clark speaks to veterans and ROTC members at the 9th Annual Veterans Day Military Ball on Saturday at the St. Bernard Au-ditorium.

A-State ROTC members were among the many military groups that attended the 9th An-nual Veterans Day Military Ball Saturday evening, and professor of military science and depart-ment chair for military science, Lieutenant Colonel Cecil Clark, was the keynote speaker for the event.

“This event is great because we get to show support for our veter-ans and let them know we appre-ciate what they’ve done, and give the younger crowd something to look forward to,” Gillian Mar-tinez, senior clinical lab science major of Truman and ROTC ca-det, said.

The ball was held at 6 p.m. at the St. Bernard’s Auditorium and was sponsored by Craighead County Veterans Monument Foundation. The event offered a “small taste of military formality and festivities,” according to the Jonesboro city website.

Major Tim Norman, assis-tant professor of military science, said, “Craighead County Veterans Monument Foundation puts this

on for the ROCT to experience military traditions in a formal event.”

Festivities, dancing, guest speakers, and food and beverages were among the many activities Saturday night. Meet and greets with ROCT cadets, JROTC ca-dets, active military members and veterans were also part of the fes-tivities in order to honor future, current and past military service members.

April Qualls, freshman crim-inology major of Jonesboro and ROTC cadet, said, “This event

is important because it gives us a great opportunity to talk to our senior advisers.”

A-State ROTC cadets served as the main color guard in the parade earlier that day as well. Along with Clark, Norman had a speaking role at the event where he gave toasts and conducted the POW/MIA recognitions.

“I think it is important to honor our veterans and to come together as a community,” Lauren Grantham, ROTC graduate stu-dent of criminal justice of Jones-boro, said.

SGA discusses new campus law on E-Cigs

BAILEY RICHARDSON policy to the senators before officially opening the floor for discussion.

If it is potentially dangerous to humans, I think we should keep the air clean said junior senator Johnathan Freeman. Although the E-Cigs do not produce smoke, they provide nicotine.

Senator Bethany Gallimore of the College of Communica-tions, stated that believes that E-Cigs are distracting to other students. They are disrespectful to the people around, she said.

The juices that are used in E-Cigs are often flavored. When used, the vapor is scent-ed and for some, that is an issue that can be distracting.

Monica Norman of the Col-lege of Fine Arts also agrees that they are a major distraction in her college. Her and her col-lege support the prohibiting of E-Cigs on campus.

Some students do not mind the presence of E-Cigs.

Becca Nail, a junior psy-chology major of Sheridan says the vapors do not bother her. “I think if someone has been a smoker then they are a good al-ternative,” she said.

She says they don’t bother her when she is around them because they do not hurt her health when she inhales the va-pors.

“I think it’s easier than cheaper than buying a pack of cigarettes,” said Matthew Stew-

Everyone knows the funny stories about earning the “fresh-man fifteen” and the added weight that comes with having to manage eating choices as an adult.

As students, it becomes our responsibility to eat well, and use the options that our school has offered to create a healthy and well-balanced cycle of meals that keeps us fit, smart and energized.

However, the pressure should also be on the campus to provide the options we need to make the right decisions.

Unfortunately, A-State has failed at offering enough healthy choices to provide many students the variety needed to maintain a stable diet.

As a freshman I am required to live on campus and therefore purchase a meal plan.

I’m almost entirely depen-dent on a meal plan and am al-most exclusively limited to the cafeteria for food choices.

I have been searching on-line for different combinations

of foods that can keep my diet stable.

However, the bulk of healthy foods available by Sodexo in-clude grilled chicken and beans for protein, vegetables, and rice or bread for carbs.

Throughout the first semes-ter of college, my meals have consisted mainly of chicken, chicken, and more chicken. There is little opportunity for

healthy alternatives, and not many options to offer variety in my weekly diet.

This is a problem, because many students like me are active throughout the day, and even more students are learning how to build their own healthy diet as an adult.

The choices offered by the cafeteria and the food court are not enough for some students to be truly satisfied.

The home cooked meals of-fer something to spice up my diet, but other than those rare occasions, I feel stuck eating the same monotonous amount of protein, sticking with the same choices of carbohydrates, and lost as to how to optimize and really maximize the nutrition I am getting as an athlete.

College students pay a sub-stantial amount of money to the university for meal plans, and a lot of us heavily rely on the food Sodexo provides throughout the week.

Why should I be paying so much money for a meal plan if I

have to also buy my own food to sustain a better diet?

In hindsight, my money could be better invested in my own purchases.

Even more unfortunate are the students who take the col-lege’s meal plan and don’t know any better about their lack of choices.

Limiting the amount of healthy choices offered leads students to choose unhealthy food.

It is time for a change in in-frastructure. The school did a great job of offering sushi in the food court, but of course that is only one of few healthy options available there.

The college needs to truly ex-pand its horizons on how to use meal plans to aid college stu-dents in learning how to make food choices on their own.

Restricting choices to pizza, burgers and mystery meals is too volatile, and will never be enough to gear young students in the right direction of eating healthy.

As current college students, we are living in a state of con-stant change. We are altering our courses, study habits, worl-dviews and potentially our de-grees.

While we undergo these changes, so too does our soci-ety change its expectations and views of the college system.

American society is being forced to adapt its traditional views of how colleges are sup-posed to be utilized due to eco-nomic and social hardships fac-ing our nation.

Unfortunately, the tradi-tional expectation of receiving a college degree in four years immediately after high school is showing its age and irrelevance.

First, many people are suc-cessful without college degrees, and countless individuals are employed in positions that have very little to do with their actual degrees.

One example that reinforces this fact is that there are more CEOs of large corporations with degrees in communication than there are with business de-grees.

The fact that we are expected to choose a career when only 18 years old is also outrageous.

The belief that at the age of

eighteen, upon graduating high school, we are meant to go to college and choose a degree which will define our career, and in turn define our life, is a ridic-ulous and outdated idea.

It puts enormous amounts of stress on people who have only begun to start their adult lives.

Very few people are capable of making a lasting life decision, especially in the realm of em-ployment, while they are under the legal drinking age.

Part of the scientific ratio-nale behind the drinking age being set at twenty-one is that the human brain is not fully de-veloped until around that time.

Therefore, students are cur-rently expected to decide their entire future with an underde-

veloped mind.The truth is, many Ameri-

cans take longer than four years of college to choose and com-plete a degree before entering the workforce, and this is okay.

It is better to take time and process important decisions than to rush through a program only to have to return to school at a later time.

With the cost of tuition con-stantly rising and employment becoming increasingly difficult to obtain, many students are forced to take breaks from their degree programs for financial reasons.

The average cost of tuition in the United States has doubled from 2007 to 2014 according to the National Center for Educa-tion Statistics.

The increase in cost is forcing more students to use non-tra-ditional scheduling in order to make tuition and fees econom-ically attainable.

Multiple studies have prov-en the negative effects of the increasing amount of student loan debt that graduates face, and this is forcing more current students to seek out methods of payment other than student loans.

A far larger number of stu-

dents today are employed whilst taking classes. Another fac-tor changing the social norms for the collegiate process are non-traditional students.

More and more individuals who have never attended college out of high school are going for their degrees.

The economic climate is see-ing a higher competition for even general employment. This is not only raising the num-ber of non-traditional students but bringing into question the amount of debt students are amassing.

Therefore, increasing the number of students in recent years who cannot match the American ideal of a four-year degree, and causing a rethinking of our collegiate system.

While we wonder what our future holds after graduation and what our life is going to be like, so too does society wonder.

We are the generation re-sponsible for bringing into question the outdated and irrel-evant ideas and practices in the American collegiate system.

Our futures will shape the new processes for higher edu-cation, and hopefully establish a more fair and modern system for college students nationwide.

Lack of housing stifles expansion

Our View:

The advent of Fall rang in yet another season of fall. Like so many years before, we saw the leaves start to change colors, the temperature start to drop, and of course, we all saw the religious fanatics preach around the arch, garnering a crowd of students waiting to hear them spread their radical vitriol.

Reminiscent of the ideals of groups such as the Westboro Baptist Church, each year the same group of people set foot on campus to use shock tactics to spread their message.

But while we may not all start to believe the opinions expressed during their time on campus, there are many lessons we can learn from religious enthusiasts

First, it is important to realize that the ideals expressed are not representative of all religious people. In fact, tactics such as these can easily be seen as hindering the messages of religion rather than helping them.

It can be easy to discredit religion based upon the zealous ideals that are meant to isolate those who do not subscribe to the same views.

However, for each idea that may be seen as crazy, there are just as many sources for which people can find common ground. This is not true just for religion, but in other areas of our lives as well.

Next, fanatics in any light show us how too much of a good thing can be a bad thing. While passion is what drives success, obsession can be detrimental to the cause one is fighting for.

What is perhaps the most important thing to realize when it comes to people such as these is altering our responses to the messages and people themselves.

Performers are only effective when they have an audience. The truth is that regardless of the degree to which people believe what they preach, the act of spreading their message on campus is a performance.

While one can argue that the speakers provided a source of entertainment to an otherwise monotonous day, the responses do nothing but fuel the fire that spreads to other areas of people’s lives.

The responses are seen by the performers who can then take their show to more personal venues, such as funerals, in the hopes of gaining an even bigger response.

Additionally, arguing back or acting offended does little to stop the performers, and can instead add to the production.

What would happen if nobody stopped to listen to the preachers yelling out at them? Moreover, if less attention was drawn nationally to the offensive messages propagated by these groups, would they still have the traction to carry on with their message?

While some aspects of fall are unchangeable, perhaps we can alter our attitudes to better respond.

CAMPUS CRIMESNovember 2While sitting at the intersection of Melrose and Aggie, Officer Thrash-er was approached by Briar Barn-hill. He asked Thrasher if he was looking for him. Officer Thrasher replied, “I don’t know who you are so why would I be looking for you”. Barnhill said his grand-mother told him she was calling the police and saying he stole her vehicle. At that time, Thrasher asked Barnhill for his identifica-tion and requested A-State UPD dispatch to do a check on him. Thrasher observed he was hav-ing trouble standing still and was

making incoherent statements. He then asked where he was coming from. Barnhill pointed to-wards Johnson Ave and said over there. Thrasher then asked where the vehicle he allegedly took was. Barnhill said he parked it at a friend’s residence, but it was gone when he went to leave. He called his grandmother to see if she had it, but she did not have it. He wasn’t making much sense, and Thrasher asked if he was under the influence of anything. Barn-hill stated he was not, and that he had eaten a lot of fish earlier and wasn’t feeling good. At this time Barnhill’s phone rang, and he said it was his sister calling. Thrasher

told him to answer it and see if she had his vehicle. While Barnhill was on the phone officer Thrash-er could hear him trying to tell them where he was. Then offi-cer thrasher saw Barnhill’s sister and grandmother walking down Melrose coming to our location. Thrasher went to meet with the sister and grandmother in refer-ence to Barnhill. While speaking with them officer Thrasher asked if he normally made incoherent statements and always seemed impaired. His grandmother re-sponded that something was not right with him tonight and she noticed something was wrong on the phone. Thrasher asked

Barnhill if he would pass a urine drug test. Barnhill responded that he had been doing dabs. Officer Thrasher asked what Dabs were and he said it was some form of THC that you put in a vaporizer. Thrasher asked his grandmother if she was comfortable taking him home so he didn’t have to go to jail. She said she was willing to, but Barnhill said he would rather go to jail. Barnhill was taken into custody and placed under arrest for public intoxication. He was taken to Craighead County jail and held on $205 bond.17-year-old male was cited for Purchase and Possession of Intoxicant by Minor.

Struggling students and fledgling entrepreneurs of A-State have a new reason to hope: Flashnotes. The up and coming study aid site has found new traction at the university after a recent push from Disability Services.

Flashnotes, the self-billed study materials marketplace, recently reached 100 thousand users, with A-State being one of its promising new outlets.

Flashnotes began in 2009 as a class project by Kent State student Mike Matousek. Soon after, the program, which al-lows students to sell and buy study materials like study guides, notes, and flashcards, gained notoriety among higher education disability programs.

A-State’s Note-taking Pro-gram Coordinator Corlisha Presley learned of the pro-gram at this year’s AHEAD Conference, held in July.

“I saw a great opportuni-ty for ASU,” she said. “Stu-dents who want to make mon-ey have a chance to do so, and struggling students have a chance to boost their GPAs.”

Presley previously had issues retaining volunteer note-tak-ers. With nearly 500 students on campus volunteering as note-takers, there was not a way for each one to receive a paycheck.

Instead, Presley offered these volunteers letters of recommen-dation and recognition for their volunteer hours, but the lack of pay for the job seemed to be driving some students away.

However, with Flashnotes, students tend to make up to $31 per hour, according to the Flash-notes website. The website also cites the average price of a set of notes is $8.50, with the compa-ny taking a cut of those prices.

“If we can attract enough students to the program, there is a chance to make real mon-ey,” Presley said. “The more students using the market-place, the higher the value.”

Money is not the only driving force for students to be interested in. The chance of a higher GPA and access to quality study ma-terials is also becoming a reality.

According to a 2013 study by Flashnotes, 87 percent of the 1,200 students surveyed reported an improvement in their GPA after selling notes on the site. Addition-ally, 94 percent said purchas-ing notes led to a higher GPA.

In order for A-State to achieve numbers this high, Presley plans to use the remainder of the fall semester as a piloting stage, and use the spring as a full launch.

“Though A-State’s partner-ship is only three weeks old, we have been working very hard to bring more attention

to the subject,” Presley said. “We held a demonstration for students with our Flashnotes liaison, and we also held a pre-sentation for faculty and staff.”

Presley hopes to bring awareness to all A-State stu-dents on the subject, and to ease any hesitations the facul-ty may have about Flashnotes. Like many schools, A-State’s faculty are reluctant to part-ner with the program as it could potentially infringe upon their intellectual property.

“Some faculty members are a little unsure about the pro-gram, but we hope to bring them around,” she said. “It’s a win-win for students, and I hope that will be how every-one come to see the program.”

Flashnotes provides access to study materials to any stu-dent on campus. Currently, 11 A-State students are enrolled. Students who sign up with Flashnotes receive training on how to be better note-tak-ers, and those who are pur-chasing notes receive weekly updates on the course notes available through Flashnotes.

“Flashnotes provides an op-portunity for students to help other students with disabili-ties, as well as make money,” Presley said. “Most important-ly, we are helping retain stu-dents in college. I think this a way that everyone can win.”

A professor from Univer-sity of Memphis is coming to A-State for an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) A-State Branch event to educate stu-dents on cyber security, an in-creasingly common issue in digital networking, on Nov. 13.

Dipankar Dasgupta, profes-sor in the department of com-puter science at the University of Memphis, has a special inter-est in intelligent techniques in computer and network security

According to the University of Memphis website, Dasgupta, who is also the director of the University of Memphis Center for Information Assurance and director of the Intelligent Secu-rity Systems Research Laborato-ry, has published more than 200 research papers in book chap-ters, journals and international conferences and has given more than 100 invited talks in differ-ent universities and industries.

A-State students are already learning the value of cybersecu-rity, and Dasgupta’s speech will help build on that knowledge.

“Cybersecurity can be any-

students, and Nucor em-ployees from the Blytheville plant will provide pizza and drinks for all who attend.

According to the Nu-cor website, Nucor Corpo-ration is the largest producer of steel in the U.S., and it is co-sponsoring the presentation with IEEE A-State Branch.

Henderson said this pre-sentation also helps promote IEEE A-State Branch’s name. “It benefits the university and our organization,” he said.

“We want to bring students in who want to learn something new, and what better way to do that than with pizza,” Bagwell said. “People are getting their credit card numbers and pass-words for their accounts stolen more and more these days, and Dr. Dasgupta will teach the students how to prevent this from happening to them. It is something that will be useful to them for the rest of their lives.”

The event will be held in the agriculture building in room 203 on Nov. 13 at 3 p.m.

IEEE is the world’s largest professional association dedi-cated to advancing technolog-ical innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity, according to the IEEE website.

thing from protecting your bank account password to protect-ing your Wi-Fi password,” said Darrell Henderson, junior engi-neering major of Russellville and chair of IEEE A-State branch. “It has to do with anything on-line, credit cards or accounts, and this presentation will teach students how to protect them.”

Henderson said Dasgupta is a speaker for IEEE as well as a distinguished member of the Association for Com-puting Machinery (ACM).

“He is going to cover cyber se-curity and other aspects of com-puter technology such as puzzle based learning, which we are ex-cited to learn about ourselves as engineering students,” he said.

According to a 2014 ar-ticle from the ACM Digital Library, puzzle based learn-ing is an emerging model of teaching critical think-ing and problem solving.

Keith Bagwell, senior en-gineering major of Willi-ford and vice chair of IEEE A-State Branch, said the event is open to all majors on campus.

“We want anyone who is in-terested in these areas to come and join us. It isn’t just for en-gineering majors,” he said.

The event is free to all

and Pam English, won second place. Saf Tech is a device that blocks the use of smart devices while operating a motor vehi-cle.

The Innovation Award of $200 was given to Grand Prai-rie Husk, a tobaccoless energy pouch made of natural ingredi-ents. Creators included Lind-sey Cole, Jason Doyle, Alex Reid and Herschel Combs.

The Live Pitch Winner with an award of $100 was Critical Connections created by Elizabeth Patchnell, Ko-rey Speaight, Megan Geisser, Victoria Childress and Rachel Bjornstead. Critical Connec-tions is a service that connects patent holders with companies to commercialize their inven-tions.

In the freshmen level video pitch competition, 65 entries from 165 incoming freshmen from University College, hon-ors and business participated.

The winner was Trackie, a

bracelet that can be used to localize persons during emer-gency situations. Team mem-bers included Brett Anderson, Cole Jenkins, Daniel Jurney and Krystal Puente.

Second place went to Len-tuseal by Quinn Smith. It is a product that can be used to protect roofs against weather damages.

KRAM Communications, a system where trucks can be sent to disaster areas to provide telecommunications services, was awarded third place. Team members included Angela Willbanks, Kalista Holloway, Miranda Perry and Robert Morris.

Chang said he asked his friends from other countries to be judges during the pre-liminaries for the competition. There were 31 judges from 8 countries, including Austria, Brazil, Fiji, Germany, Gua-temala, Mexico, Netherlands and Pakistan. “The judges are alumni, professors, senior

managers and entrepreneurs, so they are involved with the University,” Chang said.

Other judges were A-State faculty members and commu-nity business owners.

Chang said he wants to in-clude more schools in the years to come. “We only had Beebe and Jonesboro participate this year. One year we had Moun-tain Home participate, too. We are going to include William’s Baptist next year,” he said. “The ultimate goal for me is to make it the premiere NEA Business Plan competition.”

“There are very few oth-

er things I can think of that would be better exposure and a better opportunity for these students than to participate and compete,” said Shane Hunt, dean of the college of business. “We, here at A-State, have to do better than every other school and prepare our students for the future.”

Kelly Mendes, sophomore criminology and sociology ma-jor of Jonesboro, is a non-tradi-tional student who received The Above and Beyond award at the Non-Traditional Recognition Dinner held at the Centennial Hall on Tuesday.

The Non-Traditional Recog-nition Dinner was designed to recognize non-traditional stu-dents who achieved outstanding status inside and outside of the classroom. The Above and Be-yond award is given to a student who demonstrates dedication to studies and works hard to succeed academically.

Mendes maintains a high GPA and made the Dean’s List last se-mester. At the same time, she is raising four children and working full-time.

“I think the non-traditional student week is amazing. It feels good to be acknowledged by the university for all your hard work.

I appreciate all the hard work that went into making the non-tradi-tional week so special,” she said. “My motivation is always my fam-ily. They have always inspired me and encouraged me to succeed in life.”

Sylvia Clemons, senior studio art major of Paragould, is another non-traditional student who was invited to the Recognition Dinner. She has a 3.8 GPA and is raising children at home.

“I think it was nice to recog-nize to the students because it is hard work,” she said.

Clemons did not go to col-lege right after graduating from high school. She has worked at a nursing home, factory and several offices, but she said, “my heart has always been in arts.”

She is working towards a col-lege art professor career. “I’m excited that I’ve almost accom-plished that goal in my life. Even though it’s been hard work, it’s

been fun work to me because I had been out there in work fields,” Clemons said.

“I would advise younger stu-dents to do what you can and have no regrets. It only comes once,” she said.

“I think the non-traditional student week is a really good idea. It’s nice to remind people that a college student can be anyone in-terested in a secondary education rather than just the typical idea,” said Tiffany Miller, senior studio art major of Malden, Mo.

She is a traditional student but has non-traditional classmates in her classes. “They usually have great insight on time management and aren’t as shy about critique,” Miller said.

Williams said, “We have to en-courage them to keep going and let them know we’re the resources for them.”

art, junior theater major from White Hall. Stewart be-came an avid user of an E-Cig while trying to quit smoking for his health.

He believes that it should be able to because it’s not dam-aging to your lungs or anyone else’s, “It’s basically water.” Stewart said it has made it easier for him to stop smoking cigarettes and doing damage to

his lungs.A recent article from CNN

expresses that “most scientists believe that nicotine itself, while highly addictive, is not what causes cancer for smokers or the people around them who breathe second hand smoke.”

The bottom line, Stewart says, is that it’s less likely to cause cancer and it is not dan-gerous to other people around

because “you’re not putting anything into the air but wa-ter.”

At the end of discussion, the SGA voted to not allow the use of E-Cigs on campus with a vote of 32 to 1 opposing the motion. This does not mean there will be a ban on using E-Cigs on campus, but the is-sue will be presented to admin-istrators to approve or deny.

For those in the Honors College, it can seem as if “unsocial,” “stuck up” and “entitled” are the three words that make up their ste-reotype. Sometimes it’s hard to understand Honors culture when the college has only a little over 900 students, a relatively small por-tion of the over 13,000 at A-State. But to dispel Honors myths, all it takes is getting an inside look into a close knit culture within the university.

Students can enter Honors directly from high school or apply for Honors once enrolled in A-State with certain GPA and ACT scores. To stay in Honors, students must keep a 3.0 college GPA and take one Honors course each semester.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of what kind of extra effort that these students have to put in, and the extra time that it takes to do these things. Time that more than once, will have Honors stu-dents having to sacrifice a weekend with friends for a weekend with textbooks. Which is probably where the first stereotype of unsocial Honors students came about.

To those that are not part of the curriculum, Honors students can be seen as hermits, or people who “live in the library all day ev-ery day,” said Aleece Carroll, freshman Honors student and nursing major of Jonesboro. Honors students are thought to only sleep, eat, breathe and study, having no time for social interactions or connec-tions. But the truth is so different, according to Carroll.

The Honors College Association, HCA, is the student organiza-tion within the Honors College. “The HCA organizes activities for honor students,” said Nic French, sophomore honors mathematics and computer science major of Hot Springs. These events are held for the purpose of “honor students to get to know each other and bond,” Carroll said.

To some people, those in Honors are believed to be stuck up because of the benefits they receive, such as early registration and more hands on help from professors. “The classes that are offered for Honors are so small,” said Reagan Donald, sophomore honors double major in English and creative media of West Memphis.

Because of the small community, the classes that are offered at the college level are small as well. With a professor that has over 30 students per class, versus one with 10 per class, those in Hon-ors have an easier time getting one-on-one with their professors because they don’t have to compete with as many other students wanting the same thing.

These students are “a part of a close group that pushes you ac-ademically,” French said. Therefore, more homework and extensive assignments, longer, more in depth essays, and so on require having a faculty member who is available to answer any questions or help them on assignments they might have.

A third stereotype about Honors students is that they feel enti-tled. But that myth isn’t entirely true. “Honors students are students just like everyone else, Carroll said. “We’re not just a group who lives in the library, though we do hold our grades very highly.”

The extra work required for Honors doesn’t mean that these peo-ple can’t have social lives all either. “Some juggle lives just like most of the other students on this campus,” Carroll said. Which is true, they do still hang out with friends, go to parties, and occasionally can be lazy some odd weekend. But not as much as those not in Honors can. Carroll said she has to learn to be able to time manage her homework, sorority, job, church and even family so she could get the best out of all of them. “Frankly, I’m still learning,” she said.

And the students outside of Honors are still learning the cul-ture that makes up the seemingly exclusive college. Applications for Honors are always available. We as a student body should want to challenge ourselves to the best of our ability. Honors just helps those who want to challenge themselves be able to.

#LPAGE 2B

In the carefree days of high school, a teacher was addressed by a simple “Mr.” or “Mrs.” College professors are an entire new species in regard to how to address them respectfully. There is nothing more terrifying than calling a professor who spent years in school simply by “Mr.” “Ms.” or “Mrs.” when their true honorarium is the revered “Dr.”

As undergraduate, we only get a small taste of the sufferings students must undergo to obtain a doctoral degree. A PhD recip-ient did not achieve the honor just for giggles and fancy gowns at graduation. They sacrificed large amounts of time to receive one of the highest statuses in academia, and quite possibly the world. To ensure you don’t get the dreaded death stare from your professor for misusing their title, there are some tips you can follow.

First, listen to how the professor addresses themselves on the first day. If they are a doctor, the majority of the time they will ad-dress it through the introduction.

Another safe way is to look over the syllabus for background information.

Not all college professors have received their doctoral degree. If they have not, still listen to what would be an appropriate title for

them. Be wary of assuming every class instructor has a doctorate, because it can be easy to offend a true “Dr.” if they hear the title being misattributed to one of their colleagues.

To make the situation more confusing, some professors prefer to be called by their first name. It seems strange not to call them by their more professional surname when coupling the address with “Dr.”, but college professors all have different personalities. Unless they tell you otherwise, it is respectful to call them doctor. It all depends on the particular professor.

To avoid gender discrimination, don’t assume a woman professor is not a doctor in her field. Stereotypically, men are perceived as doctors and women are not. Never address a woman professor as “Ms.” just because she is a woman. Gather more information to sway away from something offensive.

The easiest way not to offend your professor is to simply ask them what they prefer to be called. If you are hesitant on what to say, especially when composing an email to your instructor, check the department staff listings on the A-State website for exact infor-mation as to your professor’s degree of schooling.

College professors had to make sacrifices to achieve their honors. It is an insult not to address them by the name “doctor” if they have earned it. This may seem like a tedious task, but titles are important factors for developing successful relationships with your professors.

What’s up, Doc?Figuring out how to address your professor can be a struggle. Learn how to avoid any awkward moments and refer to your professor respectfully--and in the way he or she prefers.

Globally, there are more than 1.35 billion monthly Facebook us-ers, and the number continues to rise, according to zephoria.com. Daily, thousands of users get on the app or click on the website to update their lives, read aimless articles or to boost self-confidence by looking over the statuses of former classmates and their downfalls.

However, a new player has entered the Facebook game, and it is almost as annoying as the constant, never-ceasing Farmville re-quests. Facebook has now been infiltrated by surveys and quizzes made by Buzzfeed, an online advertisement company.

What started out in 2006 as a test to track viral content has now become a multi-million dollar media company geared towards stu-dents and young adults, according to Buzzfeed’s website. Buzzfeed has begun to creep into the Facebook world with what seems like a never-ending flow of quizzes.

It seems as if Facebook is officially the mecca of all advertise-ment. According to slate.com, Buzz Feed’s recent quiz, “What City Should You Live In?”, somehow managed over 18 million views and 25 million likes. The way it works is that one social media user gets on the actual Buzzfeed.com to take a quiz. After he finishes, he decides it would be a great idea to let all of his social media friends see it as they scroll through their timeline. Next, another user sees the quiz, and decides to see what they get, and the list goes on from there.

So what is it about these 2-minute quizzes that make them en-ticing to take? For the sake of experience, I decided to get on Buzz-feed.com and take the most relevant quiz I could find to the current time: “What Name Should the Barista Write on Your Pumpkin Spice Latte?”

Q: What is a letter in your name?A: J. (I’m suspicious of their motives for asking.)Q: What do you like to do at a coffee shop?A: Drink CoffeeQ: What kind of coffee do you usually order?A: Espresso.Q: What are you most likely to eat with your coffee?A: English muffin. (Even though “Pizza” seems like a viable an-

swer, too.)Q: What is a letter that is not in your name?A: G. (They’re really narrowing it down with this one.)The results of my quiz informed me that my name should be

“Gream” because I am “always greamzin’ it up”.The result provided little to no insight into what the purpose

of the quiz was, nor did it show any form of accuracy. There could, however, be a feeling of connection to others on your Facebook

timeline that post the same result that you got. Although small, it can provide some people with an affirmation that they share at least some part of themselves with friends that share the same results.

Designers of the surveys seem to share one simple character-istic. Each quiz is made to look as if it geared to “you,” and the results of the quizzes are not factually based. “What’s YOUR su-per mom power?”, “Which Taylor Swift song are YOU?”, “Who is YOUR young adult literature boyfriend?”, and “Which Kardashian are YOU?” are all quizzes that can be found on the front page of Buzzfeed.

It seems this type of word choice catches people’s attention. Since the questionnaires are only a few questions long, and have to do with topics that can’t be calculated in such a short time, it can be assumed that Buzzfeed just sticks you with the best guess possible and moves on. The results aren’t based on who you are as a person, but which answers out of the existing list that you picked out. Ques-tions are geared to the topic, but they aren’t fill-in-the blank so it is rare to have the option of your exact answer choice.

Sure, it may be true that no one cares if you’re a Ravenclaw, and you could be considered delusional to think your friends are that empathetic. Undesired results, though, could lead to a possible de-crease in self-esteem. It’s important to keep in mind that the quiz-zes aren’t made to categorize people, but are a lighthearted way to allow individuals to identify with others through their social media outlets. Buzzfeed plastering itself all over Facebook should fit right in with the rest of the pop-ups and liberal articles.

Despite the fact that I didn’t walk away from my quiz with some moment of self-realization, it did provide a small amount of grati-fication when I received my answer. I’d even like to look into what “greamzin” is.

They werent’ Reddie: Red Wolves roll Henderson

Tilda HelgessonSPORTS WRITER

SETH PRICESPORTS WRITER

Denise Goldstein | Staff Photographer Ogo Obinabo, freshman of Plano, Texas, charges toward the frontcourt during the opening season game against Truman. The Red Wolves beat the bulldogs 83-53.

The Arkansas State women’s basketball team started off the year on a winning note when they beat Truman State 83-53 Nov. 4.

The Red Wolves’ victory was led by junior forward Amanda Lawson and senior forward Jas-mine Hunt.

The duo had a combined to-tal of 36 points, most of those coming in the paint.

Lawson led the team in to-tal points with 23, shooting nine for eleven from the field and five for seven from the free throw line.

Lawson also came up with two assists, one block, and three steals.

A-State’s junior guard Aun-drea Gamble came up big with 15 points, and three rebounds, assists, and steals.

As a team, Arkansas State only committed 13 turnovers, which pleased head coach Brian Boyer.

After the game, Boyer said, “We did a good job keeping it to only 13 turnovers, especial-ly in an exhibition game where you are going to have a lot of mistakes.”

Defensively, the Red Wolves forced 19 turnovers against the

Bulldogs. The Red Wolves also stole the ball 14 times and had three blocked shots.

It didn’t take long for the Red Wolves to get the lead and keep it the entire game.

Once the lead reached dou-ble digits, it only went back to single digits once right before halftime.

A-State squished Truman fast with an 8-0 run including points from Lawson, Hunt, and Gamble.

With the game never really in question, the second half was a great time to see some of the bench players. Freshman guard Christyal Holloway recorded 12 minutes of playing time and getting four points and three re-bounds.

Junior guard Khadija Brown-Haywood racked up 18 minutes on the court and earned eight total points, three rebounds, and two assists and steals.

Looking ahead, there are some high expectations for this team after getting picked to win the Sun Belt Conference once again, and also already receiving votes to be ranked in the top 25.

Lawson commentated on their expectations saying, “We don’t pay attention to that (the rankings).

We gotta get in the gym and work hard. There is more we can improve on.

Arkansas State’s Women’s basketball’s next game is their

second and final exhibition game of the year as they play Harding in Jonesboro on Mon-day, with tip off at 7:05 p.m.

zWomen’s Basketball trounces Bulldogs

Arkansas State’s Men’s basketball team put away their in-state opponent Hen-derson State 84-64.

The Red Wolves were led by double-doubles from ju-nior guard Cameron Gold-en and sophomore forward Anthony Livingston in his first game for the scarlet and black.

Livingston, who just came off of an injury, was asked if he felt back to 100 percent.

“No not close, not at all. I paced myself. Coached asked me to go hard so I did,” Liv-ingston said.

After seeing some of Liv-ingston’s athletic plays while not being 100 percent, when-ever he does get healthy, he is going to be a dangerous weapon on this team. Gold-en finished the night with 22 points, 10 rebounds, one steal, and two assists and blocks.

Another debut player that had an impressive game was sophomore guard PJ Hard-wick.

He had 15 points and was one rebound away from a double-double. “I’m gonna put some things in for an ad-vantage for PJ.

I really think he can create some things and make some

things happen,” said head coach John Brady.

The game started off fast for the Red Wolves who took the lead in only 15 seconds.

They never looked back, and never lost the lead.

The lead got down to 8 points midway through the first half, but after a Red Wolves timeout, junior guard Sean Gardner dropped a 3-pointer to extend the lead back to double digits.

The rest of the first half was all A-State with the lead ranging from 20 points back down to 10.

The beginning of the sec-ond half started a little slow-er for Arkansas State with the lead dropping to 9 points twice in first 10 minutes of the half.

But the later part of the second half was all Arkansas State after getting multiple second chances shots the lead just kept growing and grow-ing all the way to a 24 point margin with only five min-utes to go.

After playing the bench for the final few minutes, the Red Wolves finished off the Reddies.

The Red Wolves finished the game shooting 46.8 per-cent and a 50 percent from behind the arc with a 68.2 percent at the free throw line.

The Red Wolves’ next

game is this Wednesday here in Jonesboro with tipoff at

7:05 p.m. as they face South-ern Arkansas University.

Denise Goldstein | Staff PhotographerFredi Knighten, junior of Little Rock, scored during the second half against the University of Southern Alabama. Arkansas State became bowl eligible with a 45-10 win over South Alabama.

The Arkansas State Red Wolves football squad is bowl eligible for the fourth consecu-tive season, following their 45-10 victory over the South Ala-bama Jaguars Saturday.

The Red Wolves had control from the start, and the defense played perhaps their best game of the season.

Red Wolves head coach Blake Anderson was proud of the win, saying, “I thought it was very impressive to play as well as we did in all three phases of the game. I thought we had a good week, but I just felt pretty comfortable that it was going to be a slugfest to the very end. I was proud to see our guys to play that well.”

The game started out slow as neither offense could score on their first possession.

On the Jaguars fourth offen-sive snap, Red Wolves corner-back Rocky Hayes was ejected from the game after his big hit against junior tight end Brae-

don Bowman was flagged for targeting.

Although this play resulted in penalty yards against Arkan-sas State, it served as an ener-gizer to the team and the crowd.

Anderson was flagged for a personal foul immediately after Hayes was ejected, and this fur-ther excited the A-State side-line.

From this point on, the Red Wolves dominated the game.

The defense held South Al-abama to six total yards on the next four plays and forced a turnover on downs.

After each team traded punts, the Red Wolves finally put the first points on the board with 2:52 left in the first quarter.

Junior quarterback Fredi Knighten threw a great pass deep down the sideline to fresh-man receiver Dijon Paschal, who had got behind the second-ary for a 47 yard touchdown.

The Jaguars drove the field and responded with a field goal to cut the Red Wolves lead to 7-3, but these would be the last

South Alabama points until the game was already in hand.

A-State quickly drove down the field and capped off their drive as Knighten scored on an option play.

Knighten was able to run 17 yards right up the middle with little resistance for a touchdown while the defense moved out-side to defend the running back.

The completed extra point made the score 14-3.

On the ensuing drive, the Jaguars gave the ball back to A-State on their first snap.

Junior quarterback Matt Floyd dropped back to pass, but the ball slipped out of his hands and Red Wolves senior defen-sive tackle Dexter Blackmon fell on the ball.

The offense could not cap-italize on the advantage, how-ever.

They turned the ball over on downs when junior running back Michael Gordon was tack-led for no gain on a fourth and one attempt.

The defense helped out once

again, as senior middle line-backer Qushaun Lee made a leaping interception of Floyd’s pass three snaps later.

While the offense failed to move the ball, sophomore kick-er Luke Ferguson was able to come out and hit from 41 yards to give A-State the 17-3 lead.

The Red Wolves defense forced another 3 and out, and the offense responded with a long drive.

The possession was ended when Knighten threw a 2 yard pass to sophomore tight end Warren Leapheart in the flat for a score, making the score 24-3.

Before half, the defense forced another Jaguars three and out, but the offense failed to respond, as Ferguson missed from 49 yards away as time ex-pired.

Halftime did not slow down the A-State defense, asw Lee opened the third quarter by making his second interception of the game.

Floyd tried to throw a quick in route, but Lee read his eyes

and jumped the route for a pick-off.

Lee and the Red Wolves’ de-fense were clearly very prepared to defend the Jaguars offense.

Following the game, Lee said, “We saw exactly what we saw on film. We knew that cer-tain plays they was gonna run. On the second (interception), I just read the route he ran and I knew it was coming. So I just broke on it.”

The offense took advantage of a short field, as they moved 22 yards in seven plays, convert-ing one fourth down attempt on the way.

Gordon concluded the drive by rushing the ball in the end zone from 1 yard out.

Following another Jaguars 3 and out, the Red Wolves put more points on the board.

This time, freshman running back Johnston White scored the touchdown when he ran the ball in from 5 yards to make the score 38-3.

The most excitement of the fourth quarter came on the first

play of the period. The Jaguars backup quar-

terback, sophomore Hunter Vaughn, dropped back to pass and severely under-threw a deep pass down the sideline.

The ball floated right to Red Wolves senior cornerback Artez Brown, who intercepted the ball and ran 58 yards untouched for a touchdown.

The capture put A-State up 45-3.

The remainder of the quar-ter consisted of backups in the game, and neither offense doing much.

With just 1:22 remaining, the Jaguars finally ran the ball into the end zone, making the final score 45-10 A-State.

With 6 wins, the Red Wolves are bowl eligible once again.

The win moves A-State to 4-1 in conference play and third place in the standings.

The Red Wolves return to action next week in Liberty Bank Stadium at 2 p.m. versus the Appalachian State Moun-taineers.
