After six years as adviser to the Oracle and the S

After six years as adviser to the Oracle and the Star, Steven Listopad is leaving Henderson to become Communications and Development Director at the Arkansas Press Association. --- In the midst of Henderson’s financial crisis, many departments are taking massive hits. The Oracle and the Star are losing one of their own at the end of this semester. Steven Listopad, adviser to the Oracle and the Star is leaving to work as the Communication and Development Director for the Arkansas Press Association (APA) in Little Rock. “I knew I’d be coming to a school where I already had colleagues that I really enjoyed working with and had good times with,” said Listopad.

Reddie Radar: Illusory Entities Perhaps you’ve s

Reddie Radar: Illusory Entities Perhaps you’ve seen the flyers around campus. They’re sort of obscure and vague. A little bit of artwork, a few words and a QR code that takes you to a Spotify page of a local artist called Illusory Entities. [...] Illusory Entities definitely has some personality but needs to hone in on what makes them stand out. They’ve got some hidden gems, a semi-consistent naming theme and many other things working in their favor. Still, there’s no way of knowing who they are, if they play any live shows or anything else about them. Read the full article on hsuoracle.com

Lion pitcher Ian Smith looks back at a runner on first base. --- Teams that were missing players due to basketball season have now gained those back and are easing into the groove of being back on the diamond. Conference play began last week, and fans were able to catch some action between the Lions and Haskell Harmony Grove last Monday. On the softball side of things, Bismarck is coming off of a successful season that Head Coach Brad Loy is hoping they can build off of. The Lady Lions took on the Lady Cardinals to start conference play, and it wasn’t even a close match. Bismarck put up seven runs before Haskell Harmony Grove finally put up four runs midway through the game. Read the full article on hsuoracle.com

Has Reddie Red always been the exact same shade and has Henderson always been the home of the Reddies? [...] According to Sesser, the original colors that represented Arkadelphia Methodist College (Henderson’s name at the time) weren’t even red and gray at all. They were pink and cream. The colors were used during an 1896 intercollegiate debate contest. The red and gray can be traced back to 1905.

Sophie Burke, a Patron Services intern also at Tex

Sophie Burke, a Patron Services intern also at Texas Shakespeare Festival and star of the department’s last production of “The Revolutionists,” attributed her internship-seeking success specifically to Professor and Department Director Lacy Klinger as well as the work she has already been doing as a student. At the festival, she says she will be selling tickets, gifts, and concessions. [...] Other students with new jobs and internships this semester include Natalie Gray and Zandora Chinwah—the latter also starring in “The Revolutionists”—at Lyric Repertory Company in Logan, Utah, Savannah Price at the Berkshire Theatre Group in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, and Jessica Smith in the Disney College Program at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.

“The irony of the show is that it was written in

“The irony of the show is that it was written in 2012, about the French Revolution, and in 2022 it's all still relevant,” said Chinwah. “We’re still fighting all the same battles for freedom and equality, maybe not with a guillotine, but it’s all still there.” The final performance of the Revolutionist was held on Monday and left a lot of the cast and crew feeling proud. While it was sad to see them go, Gray mentions, “It's nice to just wrap [the characters] up and put them away nicely. This show will always be in this space, the memories of it will always be here. We paint over the stage after every production, so even after we are all gone, this floor will still be here under a coat of paint.” All four actresses will star in the theater department’s upcoming production of Antigone, which is set to run from April 14 to 18.
