The cost of parking tickets on campus will be increasing soon.

The price for parking citations will jump from $20 to around $75 for a first-time occurrence, ac-cording to Angelina College’s new Chief of Police Doug Conn.

This new rule will apply to both students and faculty.

Cars without the proper tags that are parked in the spaces la-beled as reserved or handicap and those in the horseshoe parking lot in front of the Administration Building will be issued tickets.

Conn helped to bring in the new police department to campus in June and has since been build-ing the department by writing policies and procedures, hiring of-ficers and acclimating the faculty and staff members to the philoso-phy of policing.

For the past 48 years, the col-lege has not had a police depart-ment. It has had security officers. The new police department will

help to secure the campus. Conn has been in law enforce-

ment for 37 years and helped to start up the AC Police Academy in 1993.

In February, two new police of-ficers were hired. Randy Holland has 25 years of law enforcement experience, and Dale Lowery has 40 years of law enforcement ex-perience. Lowery also has experi-ence protecting the campus.

Conn said the three officers, supplemented by night security officers, cannot keep the cam-pus safe by themselves. He said, “If you see something, say some-thing.” Students, faculty members and staff members should also take on the responsibility to keep this campus safe.

“We have to stay communi-cative and work together as a community to keep each other safe,” Conn said.

The police department office is located in Room 107 in the Administration Building, and the number to call in case of emergency is 676-2563.

An Angelina College jazz mu-sician qualified for and partici-pated in the Texas Community College Band District Association All-State Symphonic Band.

Trevor Powell, trombonist, qualified with one other trom-bone player in the state of Texas out of 50 community colleges to perform at the Texas Music Edu-cators Association convention in San Antonio.

Larry Greer, AC music instruc-tor and director of jazz bands, said, “Powell is a highly trained musician who is dedicated to his form, has a good work ethic, prac-tices his instrument and, as a re-sult, excels.”

Every community college mu-sician in the state of Texas sends an audition tape that is hand-picked by the TCCBDA. In the end, a very small percentage of musicians qualify among the thousands of tapes.

“Qualifying for the TCCBDA is a wonderful opportunity for stu-dents,” Greer said, “because they are playing with some of the best

musicians in the state. The direc-tor is from a four-year university and is highly trained and skilled, which benefits the musicians.”

Powell has been playing trom-bone since the seventh grade and said, “The experience was reward-ing and challenging because I had about three days worth of learning and playing the music. Powell also added that the experience will better prepare him for future au-ditions, and he has gained a better knowledge of the competition he is against.”

Greer added, “When Powell applies to a four-year college he can put his all-state accomplish-ment on his résumé, it says a lot about the level of your musician-ship because it implies the student is dedicated and a hard worker.”

After AC, Powell plans to transfer to Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana, and major in music education.

Greer has been teaching at AC for 25 years and has a back-ground in playing guitar, flute, and piano, and he has a strong background in jazz, which he has been playing for 35 years.

Based on enrollment data, the total headcount of students at Angelina College has decreased steadily in the last six years.

From spring 2017 to spring 2018,the total headcount dropped by 2.1 percent.

Dr. Cynthia Casparis, vice president of academic affairs, said, “Sometimes a decrease in the en-rollment is tied specifically to the economy.

“When the employment rate goes down, people are choosing to work instead of going to school. A downward trend could also be due to people moving out of the area.”

One reason many students at-tend AC is the financial benefits. The school has significantly lower tuition then a four-year university and many other two-year junior colleges. Despite the lower enroll-ment and total headcount, AC has

had a slight increase in contact hours, the number of hours stu-dents spend in class. This means that fewer individuals are attend-ing AC but current students are registering for more classes.

Casparis said, “AC receives re-imbursement from the state for a small percentage of those contact hours.” AC is funded by the state and has to meet a quota of hours to receive the reimbursement.

Casparis also said the best way current students can help in re-cruiting new students is peer-to-peer mentoring and invitation.

Educating potential students on AC’s lower tuition and aca-demic opportunities is important to help them compare AC to other universities and community col-leges.

To draw more students to AC, Casparis encourages them to “be Angelina College advocates. Wear T-shirts that identify you as an Angelina College student and to show your Roadrunner pride!”

Alpha Beta Gamma, the inter-national business honor society, will induct new students into its ranks in April.

To be eligible for membership, students need to complete at least 15 academic credit hours on a business degree and demonstrate academic excellence by attaining a 3.0 GPA in business courses as well as a 3.0 overall cumulative average.

Invitation letters and applica-tions have been sent out to eligible prospective members.

Some of the benefits of mem-

bership involve networking on a national level, applying for up to $500,000 in scholarships through ABG, recognition for positive contribution and academic achievement and recognition at graduation with special regalia.

ABG members will also orga-nize an end-of-the-year service project to collect used textbooks to donate to the Student Services department for distribution next semester to students who cannot afford them.

ABG recognizes and encour-ages scholarship among two-year college students in business and related curricula at degree-grant-ing academic institutions.

Faculty and staff members at Angelina College’s Polk County Cen-ter will participate in the Polk County Relay for Life April 27 at Pedigo Park. T-shirts, above, are available from Suzi Honeywell, speech instructor at the center.

“I feel like more security (actual police officers) should actually protect and serve in school. Students and teachers should not carry any kind of guns. It’s not safe.”

Guadalupe GarciaDraftingNacogdoches

By Anonymous

Campus safety is something we already have in my opinion. We do not need any type of police officers.

With the concealed carry law in effect, we do not know who has a gun.

I feel like if anyone wanted to harm students or shoot at peo-

ple on the campus, it would be stupid.

Anyone who has a concealed carry license could fire back at a shooter if need be.

If people can carry in class, it would be more effective rather than waiting on someone show-ing up. It would be too late by then.

Granted, not many have con-

cealed carry licenses, but prob-ably at least one person in every building has one.

If you want effective safety, there should be at least one or two police officers at every build-ing on campus.

And for the people who think guns are the problem, all shoot-ings and murders have one com-mon denominator—PEOPLE!

Campus police unnecessary

Jazz concert set

Nacogdoches found object sculptor Wally Knight will exhibit his work March 6-28 in the Ange-lina Center for the Arts Gallery.

Knight is a long-time Nacog-doches resident whose work has inspired his fellow artists and community for many years. He has exhibited his work through-out Texas and the Southwest and has created an installation in Mil-town Malbay, Ireland.

Knight’s career as an artist be-gan in the 1970s when he met William Baker, a California artist and carpenter making his way to the East Coast. Baker’s advice to Knight was “Everything is already there. You just have to bring the right things together, and they

will speak.” Making art from the most

humble and unexpected things, Knight has been on this journey through discovery and serendipi-ty since that time.

“When I’m making art with found objects,” he said, “there is no predetrmined destination. I’m not a designer. I’m just along for the ride. I’m often surprised and sometimes amazed at the direc-tions they take and relationships they form.”

This exhibition will include pieces that have recently been shown in Fort Worth’s Fort Works Art Gallery in an invitational exhi-bition “Los Fantasmas Ambulan-tes,” as well as several new works.

Angelina College sponsored a reading of the play “American Menu” by Don Wilson Glenn Fri-day, Feb. 16 in Hudgins Hall as one of the Black History Month events.

Glenn, an alumnus of AC’s the-atre department, wrote the play about the conversations of five African American women work-ing in the kitchen of a segregated lunch counter in 1968 just after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Through the conversations, the women face the realities of life–prejudice, poverty and ignorance–on the cusp of social change.

One of the characters was modeled after Glenn’s mother, who worked at a segregated lunch counter in Lufkin in the 1960s.

Cast members for the read-ing included Tobrisha Baldwin, Takisha Kegler, Heather Garcia, Siobhan Maxie and Angela Alex-ander.

After the reading, a panel made up of Rev. W.R. Ricks, pastor of First Missionary Baptist Church; Dr. Guessippina Bonner, Lufkin City Councilwoman and NAACP leader; and Glenn, the AUDEL-CO Award-winning playwright, discussed civil rights and the 50 years since King’s assassination. Benetha Jackson, AC psychology instructor, served as moderator.

“Mrs. Eye Takes Her Grin to Town” by Wally Knight will be included in the art show March 6-28 in the ACA Art Gallery.

Sports

The Angelina College Lady Roadrunners, playing in their first official games in three weeks, were not about to let a couple of deficits put a damper on their “home” opener against Lamar State College-Port Ar-thur on Monday evening, Feb. 26.

AC put together a five-run sixth inning in the opener to win 5-1, then duplicated the feat with a five-run fifth inning to win the nightcap 12-8.

AC played on Hudson High School’s new turf field since the Angelina College facility has been under a steady deluge of rain for the past week.

In the opening game, start-ing pitchers Kiriany Hornberg-er for AC and Ashley May of Lamar-PA locked into a pitch-ers’ duel during the first five innings.

The Seahawks scored a run in the first on a double steal, then held that 1-0 lead until the sixth inning.

AC’s Brette Kohring got things started with a solo homer to left field to tie the game. Jessica Husband singled, Emilee Cernosek walked and Hornberger singled to load the bases.

After Nikki Whitehead drove in a run with a bases-loaded walk, Riley Garrett lifted a deep ball to the right-field corner that

ended up as a three-run error. Hornberger shut down the

Seahawks in order in the sev-enth to preserve the win.

Lamar-PA again jumped out to a lead in the nightcap, scor-ing four runs in three innings, with Briana White adding a solo homer.

But once again, the Lady Runners rallied. In the bottom of the fourth, Garrett drew a leadoff walk, Rachel Agnello reached on an error and Nikki Gonzales filled the bags with a long single to left.

Reygan White’s walk brought home AC’s first run, and Kohring followed with a two-run double. Jessica Hus-band’s RBI groundout tied the game at 4-4, and after Cerno-sek’s infield single, Hornberger drove a single through the left side for a 5-4 AC lead.

The Lady Runners tacked on four more runs in the fifth: Gonzales singled, White dou-bled and Husband reached on a two-run error.

Another single from Cerno-sek preceded Hornberger’s RBI double, and Whitehead added a run-scoring single for a 9-5 AC lead.

AC would tack on three more runs later in the game, with Kohring adding her sec-ond homer of the night, for the 12-8 win.

AC sweeps Seahawks

Facing the top teams in their respective conferences was going to be a tall task anyway, and the Angelina College Lady Roadrun-ner and Roadrunner basketball teams fell short in a pair of home losses Saturday, Feb. 17 at Shands Gymnasium.

Jacksonville’s Lady Jaguars held off the Lady Runners 83-77 be-hind 31 points from Ines Nezer-wa, and the Jaguars fended off a late Roadrunner rally to take a 69-63 win.

Jacksonville 83, Lady Roadrunners 77

In the Lady Roadrunners’ game, Jacksonville’s Nezerwa and AC’s Natasha Mack waged a bat-tle in the paint with the two 6-foot 4-inch post players fighting for position nearly every possession.

Saturday’s matchup went to Nezerwa, who finished with a game-high 31 points to go with 10 rebounds.

Mack fought her way to an 18-point, seven-rebound perfor-mance, but the Lady Jags were able to hold off a late AC surge in the final 30 seconds to secure the win.

Lady Runner Mia Williams nailed a three pointer off an assist from Priscilla Murray with 25 sec-onds to play to trim the Jackson-ville lead to five points at 80-75.

Mack’s free throws got AC to within three points, but the Lady Jags’ Florence Sifa hit three free throws in the final seconds to hold off the Lady Roadrunners.

Williams finished with 18 points after connecting on six three pointers. Mia Perkins added 12 points and nine rebounds.

The Lady Roadrunners are 18-8, 10-6 for the season.

Jacksonville 69, Roadrunners 63

A very physical defensive battle eventually went against the home

team with the Roadrunners drop-ping a 69-63 loss to the Jaguars on Saturday, Feb. 15.

The teams combined for just 56 points during the game’s first 20 minutes, well below the per-game average for both squads.

AC trailed 29-27 at the half, but rallied late in the second half to take a 55-51 lead on Kevin Nor-man buckets on back-to-back AC possessions.

With the score knotted at 55-55 with five minutes to play, howev-er, Jacksonville put together just enough of a scoring run to take the lead for good.

AC’s Norman led the Road-runners with 16 points. Isaac Beal added 13 points and eight re-bounds, and Travis Henson con-tributed 10 points.

Lockett, Sparks and Jabari Nar-cis each scored 12 points for Jack-sonville.

The Roadrunners are 13-13, 5-10 for the season.

Angelina College’s Mario Goggins, No. 21, goes for the three-point shot against Jacksonville. The Road-runners dropped a 69-63 Saturday, Feb. 17.

Basketball teams lose to Jacksonville Jaguars

For the second time this young season, Angelina College baseball pitchers carried a no-hitter into the final inning.

Back on January 31, Lance Lusk lost his no-hit bid against Mountain View College in th final inning, finishing with a one-hitter.

Thursday, Feb. 14 in Dallas, three Roadrunners teamed against the Lions with Sean Bergeron, Ja-cob Mead and Clayton Hill nearly earning the no-no in the night-cap before a Lion hitter broke it up with two outs in the seventh. Bergeron threw five hitless in-nings to earn the win.

The Roadrunners swept the Lions 6-4, 6-0 in Thursday’s twin bill, running AC’s winning streak to five games.

In the opener, Dylan Murphy and Christian Leonard rocked back-to-back homers in the sec-ond inning. Leonard finished with two RBI in the win; Euro Diaz and Alec Paz also drove in runs for AC.

Lusk struck out seven Lion hitters in four innings of work; Hagan Hartman and Jeremy Ro-driguez each added an inning of scoreless relief.

The nightcap saw AC hitters Brett Mugavero, Hayden Baker and Dylan Rivers collect two hits each.

Baker and Dylan Murphy each drove in two runs to back the strong pitching performance.

The Roadrunners stand at 6-6 for the season after this game.
