Happy Holidays Student Publication for Angelina College Lufkin, Texas THE PACER www.angelina.edu Tuesday, Nov. 24, 2015 Member: Texas Intercollegiate Press Association and Texas Community College Journalism Association Vol. 47, No. 6 ABG inducts 30 Photo by Devan Hadnot Two Angelina College students – Ian Cox, a political science major, and Katlynn Oleinik, a sound recording major – protested on campus in front of the Science and Math Building on Thursday, Nov. 12. They were protesting for free tuition, cancellation of all student debt and a pay raise of $15 an hour for all classified staff and student workers. Rain stopped several other students from participating, but their actions were a part of a nationwide march brought together by an online movement titled Million Student March. Angelina College thanks the following students for participating during the SACSCOC On-Site Reaffirmation Committee visit Business Division Students: Joseph Afolabi Eva Picoraro Girod Umeko Rodriguez Fine Arts Division Students: Bethany Baldwin Andy Landeros Jordan Buckley Omar Al-Mahmeed Lottie Nolan Technology and Workforce Division Students: Wesley Garcia Minnie Martin Elizabeth DeLaCruz Steve Olivarez Eddy C. Rown Liberal Arts Division Students: Christina Johnson Robert Hurt Deana Jones Shane Tolmasoff Jasmine Gonzales Angelina College’s Rho Alpha Chapter of Alpha Beta Gamma, business honor society, inducted 30 new members into its ranks on Sunday, Nov. 15. The fall inductees include Ana Acosta, Frank Emerson Alamo, Debbie Barlow, Twanisha Bennett, Cody Bynog, Martin Chavez, Darrel Degraw, Darlene Fike, Jamie Fuller, Robbin Gibson, Brandley Henly, Timorthy Hollis, Chris Inman, Daniel Jaramillo and William Shane Kolb. Also inducted were Paul Lane, Aldo Carlos Luna, Leslie Morales, Kay Moye, Jessica Musick, Mahir Patrel, Eva Girod-Pecoraro, Sofia Reyes, Umeko Rodriguez, Britney Ross, Guadalupe Sandoval, Pedro Tinajero-Ayala, Benjamin Williams and Stacey Woods. Keith New, AC business instructor and faculty adviser for ABG, welcomed attendees and introduced the speaker, Gene Lee, CEO of Lee Transervices, a local finance and risk man- agement business for transportation. Lee told the inductees they will learn much information vital to business through their education. The two most important business principles to learn to be successful, according to Lee, are people matter more than money and character counts. “Integrity is a marketable quality on the streets,” Lee said, that became a quality for success after the collapse of Enron in 2001. He also told the inductees they are the kind of people his company hires – driven, determined over-achievers. Steve Hudman, AC dean of student services, charged the inductees to continue their standard of excellence. Rho Alpha Chapter President Christina Miller and member Micaela Chehade participated in the ceremony. The ideals of Alpha Beta Gamma include scholarship, leadership and cooperation.

AC establishes Hall of Fame AC business major Felicia Spikes looks at the “Missing Man” veterans’ display in the Student Center on Veterans Day. The display is in remembrance of those soldiers missing in action or prisoners of war signifying that there will always be a place for them. The manner the table is set has special meaning. Some of those include: the round table showing our everlasting concern for our missing soldiers, a slice of lemon on the bread plate to remind us of the bitter fate of those captured and missing in a foreign land, a pinch of salt to symbolize the tears endured by those missing and their families who seek answers and the Bible representing the strength gained through faith to sustain those lost from our country, founded as one nation under God. They have resided in the memories of anyone who saw those men and women play, but now groups of former Roadrunners and Lady Roadrunners will have a permanent presence on the campus where they began their collegiate careers. Angelina College on Saturday, Nov. 7 inducted several teams and players into the college’s new Hall of Fame now in place inside Shands Gymnasium. In addition to the HOF inductions, AC recognized two long-standing members of the athletic programs, including Cecil Ferguson, the first basketball coach at AC, and Ken Roland, who was the team’s official bus driver, scorebook keeper and scoreboard operator for more than 20 years. With ceremonies taking place throughout the entire Roadrunner Reunion/Alumni Day, the inaugural inductees included the following: Kassie James, Lady Roadrunner softball (2014-2015) – James was a two-time National Fastball Coaches Association All-American who led the AC softball team to the 2014 National Junior College Athletic Association Division I National Championship, AC’s first national title in any sport. James also ended her AC career having set six school records for batting.

Psyche club hosts seminar By Nolan Greer Reporter The intolerance of uncertainty, consent forms and transgender were discussed at a psychology mini conference held Nov. 12 on the Angelina College campus by the psychology club, along with students from Stephen F. Austin State University. The first segment of the conference discussed a possible link between uncertainty and suicide and was lead by Michael Cortez and Brooke Bugni, SFASU graduate students. The second segment, presented by Kyle Ripley and Margaret Hance, SFASU graduate students, covered issues with participant understanding of informed consent forms for studies. Ripley and Hance used several examples from a study to illustrate their point. The study presented a test group with a slightly altered consent form to see who was actually reading the form. Only one participant in this study actually caught the mistakes in the form. The third and final segment was an audience discussion covering the broad topic transgender led by Robert Hurt and Deana Jones, AC students. The discussion followed the viewing of an episode of “Steven Universe” and covered the prominent transgender issue. All research was performed on the SFASU campus. Sponsor of the psychology club at AC is Benetha Jackson.

Holiday Crossword By Nolan Greer Reporter Cartoon by Dakotah Crocker Pray for Parisiennes Illustration by Devan Hadnot The Pacer Founded in 1968 Co-Editors: Jennifer Harvey and Cheyenne Wilson Photographers: Devan Hadnot, Cheyenne Wilson, Shelby Norman When was the last time you went to an actual news website? Yahoo, Washington Post, CNN, Fox, etc. are probably what comes to mind, but you would be wrong. When you go to a site, or a television channel for that matter, that claims to report the news, you should be able to expect a few things: that the information is reliable; that what has been reported has not been skewed by politics; and that information has been gathered to tell the story of all parties involved. That is what you should be able to expect. What you can actually expect is that the source of the information is probably never mentioned, that everything you are reading is the work of a political mouthpiece and that the only side of a story you will read about is the one with which the author sympathizes. Now, there is a time and a place for that kind of writing. It is called an opinion piece. The thing about an opinion piece is that it is supposed to be properly labeled so that nobody confuses it with fact. If you will glance at the top of this page, you will notice the word opinion in large letter sitting above this article. That exists to let you know that this story exists solely to tell you how I feel about whatever topic is being discussed. The issue I take with basically every major news outlet is that every story they put up needs to have the word opinion above it in large letter like this one does because that is exactly what they are—how the writer feels about the topic. If you want accurate information minus all the political nonsense, just use AFP, Agence France-Presse or Reuters, the only major ones that come to mind.

While lauding the efforts of Temara and Zach Shepherd, who scored 11 points off the bench, head coach Todd Neighbors said he is seeing improvement in a lineup that before October had never before played together. “I thought we grew some today,” Neighbors said. “We still have to get much better defensively, but I saw a more focused group intensity and toughness wise. We definitely did a much better job attacking the zone. Shane Temara had a big night, and I thought Zach Shepherd came off the bench and had some very productive minutes. “These pre-conference games are preparing us for a very competitive and difficult conference. Our focus right now is getting better each and every day so we can be ready for our conference opener against an extremely talented team of TVCC on the 21st.” Photo by Devan Hadnot AC Roadrunner Shane Temara, No. 41, gets the tipoff during the game against Greater Houston Prep on Nov. 7.

Charlie Brown obviously had a rough year! From lunch time to Valentine’s Day, he just could not seem to catch a break. Nevertheless, time continued to pass no matter how much he may have wished that the world stopped moving for just one instant. The crew captured the audience’s attention with the same remarkable timeless characters that so many people love and have grown up with. They even included the community in the show and added a spectacular heart-warming glow to Pea-nuts’ stories that have and will continue to touch people’s lives.
