DESCRIPTION
The Herald for Jan. 28TRANSCRIPT
As of this semester, stu-dents will now be able to take Quantitative Reasoning as opposed to College Algebra, to fulfill their general educa-tion requirements.
ASU, along with four oth-er state-supported univer-sities, piloted Quantitative Reasoning during Fall 2012. This was a part of the state’s higher education mathemat-ics re-design to help students meet the requirements need-ed to obtain their degree.
“The intent is to remove barriers to graduation,” said Department Chair Debra In-gram. “We recognize College Algebra may be a barrier to some students.”
Students and faculty have been somewhat upbeat about the alternative course. It has given many students who may have had a hard time with College Algebra a posi-
tive outlook“Students have been op-
timistic that this class is of-fered to them to satisfy that particular General Education requirement. The faculty has also been really supportive. Certain departments, like Criminology, have even ad-vised their students to take Quantitative Reasoning, es-pecially the students who may have struggled in Col-lege Algebra,” Ingram said.
Kent Gibson of the Math-ematics and Statistics De-partment is currently teach-ing the course.
“(He) is a really easy-go-ing professor who is more interested in the students than just getting through the class,” Becky Kelley, a studio art major, said.
Kelley explained that she attempted College Algebra in the fall semester only to drop the course for the sake of maintaining her GPA.
During Christmas break ASU launched a complete redesign of the official university website on Jan. 7, fol-lowing a soft launch for faculty and staff that took place on Dec. 3.
Todd Clark, director of web com-munications, Eric Vickrey, a web editor, and Terell Pigram, a systems analyst/ programmer said they hope this site will better serve the student body for years to come.
“In October 2010, the University Ex-ecutive Council decided to invest in the website. Essentially, the website is the ‘front door’ of the university,” Clark said. “Oftentimes the first experience that a potential student may have with our campus, especially those that don’t live around the area. So we really wanted the home page to reflect the brand of the institution,” Clark said.
After funds were gathered, a small six-member committee sent out a Re-quest for Proposal (RFP) and eventually partnered up with BarkleyREI, an inter-active marketing agency, in May 2011. Together they created various content for the new website, from site maps to page designs.
“We also had a second web steering committee of about 10 to 12 members, ranging from faculty members, to staff, to marketing and ITS to further bounce ideas off of Barkley,” Clark said.
Clark said that while they will con-tinue monitoring student and faculty response via social media and analytics, the general response has been positive, both from the student body as well as faculty and staff training.
“Anytime you change something or launch something, you’re going to have feedback because things are different. Every new website’s going to have some growing pains, but those are usually only short-lived and everyone is happy most of the time,” Clark said.
One interesting new feature of the website is responsive design, which allows users to experience the full web-site, regardless of wheth-er they’re viewing it on a computer, tablet, or cellphone, as it detects the current screen width and adjusts content ac-cordingly.
Some broken links were reported. However, they are not truly bro-ken links, according to Clark, but merely out-dated ones due to a re-structuring of the folder system for certain pages.
“We designed this website for users who may not be familiar with how we’re structured organizationally, so we built all of the depart-ments on the same level. For example, the Univer-sity Police Department is now in a general fold-er instead of being inside the Student Affairs tab, so users should update their bookmarks accordingly. We’ve been e-mailing students the new links, but we’re going to update the 404 page on our end to give users tips to find the new link, so they won’t have to wait for an e-mail response,” Clark said.
The group also noted that they plan to spend the year continually updating the website and implementing new ideas to continually improve the site’s quality.
Pigram mentioned the increased use of widgets on the new website, in order to ease content creation.
“With these widgets, people don’t have to resize images in Photoshop, or put their contact information in a par-
ticular style, they can just insert their data into the widget and it takes care of everything for them,” he said.
Clark spoke about the new features on the home page, and how they hope to make it an entertaining destination for students, as well as underscoring the importance of feedback.
“I want this page to always be relevant to what’s going on in society, whether it’s the Superbowl or Shark Week, we want to tie things in. I hope it will be some-thing educational and entertaining for people to keep coming back,” Clark said.

Social media expands to classrooms
While social media has steadily become more com-mon as a method of interper-sonal communication, some students and faculty are ap-prehensive about using social networking sites for profes-sor-to-student interaction. Some students feel Facebook or Twitter would be a more effective means of communi-cating with their professors, but other students desire a level of separation between their school and private lives.
Ethan Lewellen, a soph-omore public relations ma-jor of Ashdown, would not prefer for his professors to contact him via social me-dia. “It would just be weird, you know?” Lewellen said. “I don’t want my professors to see me like that.”
Keandra Gross, a fresh-
man RTV major of Memphis, Tenn., agrees. “We already have blackboard and email for that. Facebook is for con-tacting friends and people you haven’t seen in a while.”
Haley Henderson, a soph-omore business major of Jonesboro, said she feels the classroom should stay in the classroom, not the public. “You are not supposed to bring the personal world into business. I feel that’s a little inappropriate,” Henderson said.
On the other side, some students would be fine con-tacting their instructors in ways other than the more common Internet tools such as student email or Black-Board Learn.
“I use Facebook way more than my email,” Crystal Cum-mings, a junior journalism major of Pine Bluff, said.

“The government is going to take our guns, Jason!” a friend said to me in a panic after receiving a report on an assault weapons ban.
Recently, The Jonesboro Sun reported that customers have been flooding gun shops, for fear of not being able to buy an AR-15 after the impeding government ban.
There’s an atmosphere of paranoia among most conservatives.
While there should be stricter gun control laws, such as requiring a background check to buy a gun at a gun show, a full ban on assault weapons by the government would be ineffective referring specifically to the practical utility of semiautomatic weapons.
Retired law enforcement
officer Robert Campbell explains in his book Personal Protection and Home Defense that an AR-15 rifle is a civilian weapon on the grounds that it is a semiautomatic weapon, a weapon that can fire only one round per pull of a trigger.
Furthermore, he clearly distinguishes this as a home defense weapon while stressing that an assault
weapon is one that can spray multiple rounds by holding the trigger.
He gives the example of an AK-47, a gun that is for the most part already banned among citizens.
And that is the core of my next argument --- assault weapons already are banned among civilians.
How can the government be proposing a ban on assault weapons when they
are already banned? Consider a limit on the
capacity of magazines. There is little time difference in firing a 12-round clip, to dropping and reloading two six-round clips.
As far as licensing requirements, there already are licensing requirements in most states for the carrying of a handgun.
For instance, I hold an Arkansas conceal carry license which carries over to 32 other states.
So it is not like the government is acting out of the ordinary.
In a country that has 314 million people, there are 310 million guns.
The government cannot feasibly ban guns as too many U.S. citizens own firearms.

Our View Weapons ban not likely to gain tractionSeek diversity within the university
President Obama has been widely criticized for picking an overly homogenized group for his cabi-net, and this is a problem that reflects a larger trend in our society. Shaking the paradigm of white male dominance seems to be an obstacle that we as a nation are having a hard time with, and Arkan-sas State University has also faced this as a hurdle in recent years.
Last Thursday, Governor Mike Beebe reappoint-ed Ron Rhodes to the ASU Board of Trustees, main-taining its composition of all white men. The Board of Trustees is the most powerful decision-making body of the ASU system, which serves all eight ASU campuses within the state.
The Trustees serve as a board of management and control in regards to curriculum, budgeting and university policy. While Rhodes and his col-leagues have done an exemplary job in their capac-ity as Trustees, this appointment re-emphasizes the stark contrast between the composition of the Board of Trustees and the composition of the stu-dent and faculty bodies at large. Our criticism is neither of a particular decision made by the board, nor its individual members, but the lack of diversity in the decision making process. This criticism also has wide application across the main ASU campus in Jonesboro.
While we find some solace in the fact that women make up nearly half of the upper level administra-tion on the Jonesboro campus, we find it alarming that there is only one ethnic minority represented within this administration. According to the 2012-2013 Arkansas State Fact-book available on the ASU website, women compromise well over 50% of the student population across ASU campuses, and ethnic minorities constitute over a fourth of the stu-dent body at large. And on a campus where a ma-jority of the full time instructional staff is female, concerns should be raised to how adequately an all male deliberative body represents the interests of the staff and student body as a whole. There is reason for concern when the way we structure our administration doesn’t reflect the diversity that our campus has to offer. The mission statement of ASU states that every aspect of the ASU system will be characterized by “racial, ethnic and gender diversi-ty,” but in the positions that really count, all we see is uniformity.
Our goal is not to attack the Board of Trustees or their decisions, but to urge that future appoint-ments are made with the diverse constituency of ASU in mind.
“Our View” is written by the editorial staff. The opinions are not necessarily reflective of the student body, faculty or administration of Arkansas State University.
The old adage starts with an elderly couple sit-ting in the swing. The lady says to her husband, “You haven’t told me you love me in 50 years”. The man leans toward her and wryly pro-fesses, “I told you when we got married I loved you. If anything changes I’ll let you know”.
Thus we are reminded that it’s often what we don’t say that creates hesitation, and politically we were re-minded of that during the second Inauguration speech of President Obama.
While the President cor-rectly acknowledged the need to reduce healthcare costs, address our expand-ing national debt, respond effectively to climate change and work toward sustainable energy there were some key areas where he remained si-lent.
Most notably, where were the bipartisan proposals to start fixing the problematic goals set forth? Congress has fluctuated politically over the last decade, and partisan separation has nev-er been greater.
This is representative of the nations political atti-tudes as a whole. We have seen the rise and fall of the
Tea Party and the inconclu-sive results of the Occupy Movement, both are ex-treme responses to a sense of disconnection to our leaders in Congress.
Without a concentration on bipartisanship from the executive branch, congress will find itself in another gridlock, and none of the lofty goals mentioned in the Inaugural address will be at-tained.
President Obama offered no solutions to overcome the wide political divide, and there are a number of Washington insiders who believe he isn’t capable of creating such a venue.
They point to the fact that it was Vice President Biden who was able to nego-tiate the Fiscal Cliff agree-ment before the deadline af-
ter Obama proved unable or unwilling to work with GOP leadership.
Addressing the plan to transition toward a binary relationship would have silenced critics and inter-jected positive expectations moving into his second term.
This continued with a distinguished lull regarding international politics.
Without embellishment our foreign policy and its administrators are in a state of flux. Several of our top Generals are being highly scrutinized for personal conduct issues, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta recently replaced Robert Gates and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is resigning and likely to be replaced by
John Kerry. At the same time the Euro
Zone is on the verge of dis-solution or at the very least moving into a severe eco-nomic recession; Syria is in a civil war; North Korea is making nuclear declarations against the U.S.; China and Russia are advocating sup-port for Iran and Syria and shifting allegiances could potentially impact our en-ergy supplies.
With this type of internal tension, a brief re-emphasis of our democratic values seems lacking.
Failure to address what America’s purpose, agenda and response are in these situations leaves many won-dering if they have even been identified.
Silence in this case seems to be a shield for an incon-clusive or incomplete agen-da on foreign policy.
As recognized from our venerable couple’s story above, it is imperative to not remain silent on areas of great importance.
The failure of President Obama to express his view on foreign policy and bi-partisan relationships is in-excusable and it leaves us wondering.
Obama ignores key issues at inauguration“Where were the
bipartisan propos-
als to start fixing the
problematic goals
set forth?”

WEBSITE, Continuedtime in the Admissions,
Records and Registration Of-fice, said the website has had some noticeable problems.
“Hopefully those will be quickly worked out, and we will become familiar with where everything is located as we use the site more and more,” Carvell said. “I looked at the new site in its pre-launch stage, but I still have a lot to learn about it so I can better help folks who call the Registrar’s Office asking
where information is locat-ed.”
Jason Davis, a senior pub-lic relations major of Jones-boro, expressed some dis-pleasure with the new layout.
“I don’t like the new de-sign. It looks sort of cartoon-ish and un-professional,” Da-vis said. “I have had trouble using it at first, but assumed it was because of it being new and everyone trying to log on at the same time overwhelm-ing it.”
However, email is still the preferred professor-to-class communication method for most students.
“Just send me a general email with a general ‘what’s up’ with a general subject line,” Ethan Lewellen said.
Jacob Yates, a junior business ma-jor of Jonesboro, also prefers email for school-related communications.
“I have email on my phone, so email works better for me,” Yates said.
Professors also express some reserva-tions to interacting with their students using the much more informal social networking sites.
Mary Jackson Pitts, a professor for the college of communications, points out that a college professor’s role is still primarily one of authority.
“We want to be [students’] mentor, advisor, and we might want to be their friend; but there is a fine line,” Pitts said.
Amy Hitt, an adjunct professor for the college of communications, antic-ipates a bright future for social media, but believes direct communication is es-sential to a healthy student-to-professor relationship.
“I don’t believe instructors should let the desire to use technology get in the
way of the face-to-face, sometimes one-on-one, communication,” Hitt said.
However, faculty and students have also found social networking can be used for the benefit of the academic en-vironment.
Anna Hudson, a freshman chemistry major of Cabot, said her first semester honors chemistry class created a Face-book study group to help each other prepare for their final exam.
Hudson values the community-build-ing aspect of social media.
“It helps link students together out-side of the classroom,” Hudson said.
Lewellen also makes use of social me-dia within his major of public relations.
“My teachers encourage us to use it to keep up with things, that’s how news people find news now,” Lewellen said.
Some professors are making use of popular social media sites as part of the in-class learning experience.
“I had a teacher last semester who used Twitter for a study-guide review game,” Gross said.
Tiesha Bagwell, a freshman RTV ma-jor of Cave City, appreciates the time professors invest in social media.
“I do believe it is important to be in
the know with social networking. In to-day’s society many professions depend on social media,” Bagwell said.

She took advantage of the alternative course, Quantitative Reasoning, by en-rolling in it for Spring 2013.
“Quantitative Reasoning is definitely a better option for me. The professor ex-plained that it wasn’t that we as students weren’t as smart as those in College Al-gebra. It was just that we think different-ly,” Kelley said.
Quantitative Reasoning has been la-beled as more traditional in that there are conventional homework assign-ments as opposed to the online- based coursework in College Algebra.
The curriculum is meant to be more
relevant for majors in the Humanities and Social Sciences, Fine Arts and Inter-disciplinary Studies departments with the exception of BSE degrees.
“I can see where students who do not do well with online work could re-ally benefit from the new option that is mostly an in-class course. I did have some friends that took College Algebra last semester who struggled and would have really enjoyed another option,” freshman Aimee Rowlett said.
The decision to substitute Quantita-tive Reasoning in place of College Alge-bra is only available to students majoring
in non-STEM (Science, Technology, En-gineering and Mathematics) disciplines and those who are not working toward a Bachelor of Science in Education (BSE) degree.
Quantitative Reasoning can also be used as a repeat course for College Al-gebra for students who have not already met the 18-hour repeat maximum.
“I understand that non-STEM stu-dents may not do too well with the col-lege algebra outline, and that is why I think that the university having this new option is a great idea,” Rowlett said.

The Lady Red Wolves ex-tended their win streak to six, downing the Florida Atlantic Owls 74-56 Saturday evening.
Four players registered double figures for the Red Wolves, including senior guard Ashley Olvera, who led the team with a career-high 23 points, and junior forward Jane Morrill, who put up her third-career double-double with 16 points and 10 re-bounds. Freshman forward Jalen O’Bannon and soph-omore guard Hanna Qedan both scored 14.
ASU (11-9, 8-3) lost to FAU (10-9, 7-4) 79-71 on Dec. 1 thanks largely to 27 turn-overs, but the Red Wolves cut that statistic almost in half this time, committing only 15 while forcing 18 from the Owls.
“That was our main key. (Florida Atlantic) are the team in the conference that forces the most turnovers,” Olvera said.
The Red Wolves took con-trol in the first half and nev-er relinquished the lead after seizing it three minutes in. ASU later went on a 16-3 run to build a 19-8 lead with 12:23
remaining in the first half.FAU battled back in the
last minutes of the half, but Morrill hit four free throws in the last minute-and-a-half to stave off the rally and keep the Red Wolves ahead 34-30.
“The flow of the game when we built the lead (was that) we were certainly the aggressor. We really got them on their heels. They turned that on us. We only scored on four of our last 17 posses-sions,” said head coach Brian Boyer.
ASU flipped the momen-tum coming out of the locker room and were relentless in the second half. Olvera as-serted herself against FAU’s defense with 14 points in the half, establishing the tone for the rest of the team.
“At halftime, we needed to turn that pressure to our advantage and be more ag-gressive,” Boyer explained. “I thought our players did a great job of that in the second half of taking that pressure and really attacking it hard off the dribble.”
The Red Wolves had a double-digit lead through much of the second half. FAU frequently fouled their oppo-nents to stop them from driv-
ing to the bas-ket, something Boyer attribut-ed to his play-ers’ aggression. The win is Ar-kansas State’s sixth straight and cements a two-game lead over North Texas in the Sun Belt West.
The team stays at home for its next two games; a 7:05 show-down with South Ala-bama Wednes-day night and a 2:05 p.m. match against North Texas on Saturday.
Arkansas State University sports have grown tremendously in the past five years. The Red Wolves Rugby Club is no different. They earned the title of College 7’s National Champions, run-ner-up in the 15’s and were just recently awarded the College Team of the Year Award by This is American Rugby.
“Many of our players have represent-ed higher level teams such as All Amer-ica, USA U20 and USA A,” team captain Shaun Potgieter said. “I think all of these factors, including our drive has contrib-uted to us getting named College Team of the Year.”
The club may be a small program, but they have accomplished a great amount with hard work and dedication. This feat marks the second national title for an ASU athletic team. The 1970 football team with a perfect 11-0 record won the first.
Senior backup fly half Cody Crawford said he is proud of the team’s achieve-ments.
“I was extremely pleased because
we’ve put in so much hard work and dedication. We, as a team, are always striving to be the best,” Crawford said.
Not only have they done well as a team, several of their players were se-lected as All-Tournament Team mem-bers. The three who received the honor were Shaun Potgieter, Dean Gericke, Zinzan Elan-Puttick. Zac Mizell was named Most Valuable Player of the tour-nament.
The success of the team is not the only exciting news for ASU Rugby. Alex Houser, who was the assistant coach for the team last year, has accepted the head coaching position for the Red Wolves rugby team. He is taking over the pro-gram from Matt Huckaby who has de-cided to spend more time with his job in Large Scale Distance Education oper-ations at ASU.
“I’m very excited. Working with Matt throughout the year as his assistant, I learned a lot from him. Being a head coach is something I’ve wanted to do since I started playing rugby at 14. This is a culmination of that dream,” Coach Houser said in a press release.
Huckaby passed the team to Hous-
er last fall and he led them to win the 7’s championship. Potgieter knows the team is undoubtedly in good hands.
“Coach Houser is an excellent thinker and has a great deal of knowledge about the game. He has been involved with many winning programs in the past, so he has first hand experience and defi-nitely uses that to guide, motivate and prepare us for the season,” Potgieter said.
Houser said he wants the team to es-tablish an identity and culture that the players can take ownership of.
“When people hear ASU Rugby, we want them to think hard working, ac-ademics, respect and a team that will compete and contest everything all the time,” Houser said.
The team is already preparing for the spring season by working out and prac-ticing doubles. A preseason match is scheduled Feb. 2 in College Station, Tex-as when they play Texas A&M, marking the beginning of season matches.
It’s an exciting time for the ASU Rug-by Club as they compete to win the Di-vision 1 National Championship, which would give them two national titles in one year.

Rugby gains national title, new coach
The men’s basketball teams gained a win Saturday night when Brady’s Red Wolves (12-8, 6-5) dominated the Florida Atlantic Owls (10-12, 5-6) with its defense, forcing 21 turn-overs and giving the most proficient three-
point shooting game in the Sun Belt a goose egg on the way to a 63-38 win.
The dominance came two nights after poor shooting down the stretch led to an overtime loss at Troy.
“The highs and lows of this [game] are unbelievable,” Brady said. “Defensively, I’ve
coached a lot of teams and I’ve coached some really great players and had some really good defensive teams. But that exhibition tonight of defending was textbook by our players.”
The win was redemption for a 72-65 defeat at FAU on Dec. 1, though Brady said his team didn’t do anything special compared to that early season game.
“We didn’t change anything. We played them man to man down there and we played them man to man here. We just played it bet-ter,” Brady said.
The Red Wolves finished with four play-ers scoring double-digit points, led by senior Brandon Peterson with 15 and Marcus Hoo-ten with 14. Peterson’s and ASU’s final basket of the night, a short shot from the paint with 1:09 left in the game, made the Birmingham, Ala. native the 25th player in ASU history to break the 1,000 point plateau.
“My teammates looked for me to make sure I got it done tonight,” Peterson said. “Once we saw we had the game in hand, we wanted to get it out of the way so we could move on to the big two game we have next week.”
The accomplishment comes one week after fellow senior Trey Finn did the same against Louisiana Monroe. Brady attributed the two accomplishments back to his goal when he first recruited the players five years ago.
“We wanted to recruit freshman that came here and grew with the program, that people could identify with and watch them get bet-ter,” Brady said. “I think Trey Finn and Bran-don both have contributed to this program in a lot of positive way and that’s why they’re 1,000 point scorers, and we’re going to have some more of those.”
FAU’s leading scorer, Greg Gantt, was hounded by Finn for most of the night and
was limited to 13 points after entering the game averaging 22. Gantt was the only Owl to break into double-digits for scoring.
“We wanted to press him full court and see how his ball handling skills were. He seemed a little shaky, so we continued to pressure him,” Finn said.
ASU continues a three-game home stand Thursday night against South Alabama with tip off set for 7:05 p.m.
