HSU Police serve students
The HSU Police Department
does more than just hand out
parking tickets.
The eight police officers who
patrol the "Forty Acres" try to
keep law and order amongst 2000
students. The university family
that they protect may not realize
the duties and responsibilities
that are behind the badge.
Safeguarding lives property
and facilities of the university is a
top priority with the officers.
Among many other things the
HSU police are willing to escort
students upon request from the
parking lot to a dorm or help
itudents who have flat tires run
out of gas or lock their keys In
their car.
Because prank calls are
frightening or annoying the
police department has an air horn
for people to use to discourage
callers. People can talk to the
police if they need the horn.

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT
By Laura Bearrie
If you head out towards Ovalo
on a Sunday afternoon and you
keep a sharp lookout you're like-
ly to see some interesting football
games being played between
some Hardin-Simmons students
and some Boys Ranch residents.
The players drafted from
Hardin-Simmons are members of
the BSU's Boys Ranch ministry
team. On the average seven or
eight HSU students led by James
Man tooth gather on Sunday
afternoons to plend some quality
time with "the guys."
"We just try and get close to
them" said Pam Ehret a second
year member of the team. "We
try to incorporate our share time
into the time we're playing
around with them. We want them
to feel comfortable around us so
that they will want to share with
us."
According to Pam the fruits
of the ministry team's work has
already been seen. The ministry
team gave their "guys" a Hallo-
ween party during the recently
past season Including costumes
and performances by the Love
Company.
"It was a lot of fun" Pam
said. "I think we had just as
much fun as they did."
"Most of these guys haven't

If you have had anything
stolen or are worried you might
someday the police have an iden-
tification marker with which to
mark your valuables.
The HSU police offer a free
CPR and first aid class to the
faculty staff and students of
HSU. They have three certified
instructors and the classes are
scheduled on request.
Besides providing general
security for the HSU campus the
HSU police are a go-between
with city and state police and
HSU students.
For instance if a student has
written bad checks the city police
can come to handcuff and arrest
the student even if they are in a
class. Instead the city police talk
to Chief Wheeler and the HSU
police go to the student and talk
to the student to see what can be
done before other measures are
taken.

ACM (Association for Com-
puting Machinery) programming
team.

the conference the main attrac-
tion was the scholastic program-

done anything wrong" Pam
said. "They just come from a
home where there is no place for
them. Maybe their parents can't
afford to take care of them or
aren't good parents. It's really
not the boys' fault that they're
there."
Pam's own family life provides
her with ample experience to
draw from in counseling the boys
she is close to at the ranch she
said.

The HSU police are certified
and trained in the same manner
as city police Officers. Because
they want to work with students
their attitude is that most
students that are in trouble with
the police are not criminals they
have just made mistakes.
The HSU officer will counsel
with a student in trouble to ex-
plain the procedures and help the
student.
The police department has
many rules regulations and laws
to follow. Although a citation is
not seen as a favorite piece of
paper placed under the wind-
shield wiper of a car the poce are
simply enforcing parking and
traffic laws set down by the
university.
The police motto is "To pro-
tect and serve" and the officers
of the HSU Police Department
really do want to serve you.
students from schools such as
Rice Texas A&M U.T. Austin
Baylor and Oklahoma State. A
team from ACU was also pre-
sent. Initially the larger schools
were intimidating but Jason

gramming contests and expertise

"I think my childhood had
some problems. . .divorce and all
that so I can kind of relate to
them on that level" Pam said
"I think also that this is
preparing me not just for a job
but for any kind of relationship
with people" Pam continued. "I
think it is much more important
to be' able to learn how to relate
to a variety of people and ex
periences than just those familiar
to yourself."
"Sometimes I think I identify
more with these guys than with
my peers" Pam said. "Most of
these guys are high school age
and I intend to teach high
school so they're helping me get
ready for that."
Pam said that she credits the
entire team and especially the en-
couragement of the ranch dorm
parents for the success of the
outreach every Sunday. One resi
dent is particular touched Pam in
a special way.
She said "Ralph writes poetry
and I'm real interested in that
sort of thing so he would bring
his and I would bring mine and
we would share it. I don't even
know if he ever understood mine
but just that we got a chance to
share it with one another was
kind of neat."

topic "Values and Reality." At

on a very competitive level. Each
team was required to furnish its
own computer. The team express-
ed special thanks to Jim Burchett
for loaning his system for the
contest.
The contest kicked off at 6:30
Friday evening and was schedul-
ed to last until 11:30 that night.
Each team received six problems
to solve. All six required conver-
ting the logical solutions into
Turbo Pascal as fast as possible.
Judges then marked the finished
problem either "rejected" or
"acceptance." The contest ended
at 11:48 with HSU having com-
pleted three programs.
Contest results were announc-
ed Saturday evening at a ban-
quet. Crosstown rivals ACU
won the division while HSU
finished in a close second place.
HSU's efforts earned them sixth
out of 46 teams. Two important
facts that should not be overlook-
ed are: DHSU's team outper-
formed teams from much larger
schools and 2) Jason Harper

minutes the fastest time at the
contest. These especially im-
pressive if you consider that some
teams did not solve any problems
