AR A Manager Works With Students
byJeffEgger
While Mike Simmang was attending
Stephen F. Austin in Nacogdoches he was
spotted by an assistant manager of ARA. He
accepted a position as manager trainee and
was able to cut his work hours from sixty plus
hours a week to fifty while he was also taking
fifteen hours of course work. He graduated
with a degree in business management and
stayed on the dean's list.
He and his wife Debbie have two
children six-year-old Jordan and
eight-month-old Zachary. Simmang took over
the duties of managing the HSU cafeteria
when Brian McElhaney was transferred to
Abilene Christian University.
One of the things Simmang likes about
HSU is its laid back atmosphere. He said he
loves Hardin-Simmons and enjoys working in
a smaller school environment.
Among the changes Simmang is bringing
is a new program called the Customer
Assurance Program. This approach will help
ARA make sure customers are satisfied with
their purchase. HSU is one of only four
schools in this district to have this program.
One thing Simmang really stressed was
his willingness to help the students with any
suggestions or problems one might have.
"My door is always open and I will try to
work with everyone" he said. For any
problems or suggestions call him at ext. 1285.
First Impressions
by Tim Taylor
Many times we judge a person by the
first impression he or she makes on us. I have
done this quite a lot and the same has been
done to me.
For instance someone who is now a
good friend has said that his first impression
of me was that I was "stuck up." The truth of
the matter is that I am usually a little shy
around people until I get to know them so I
normally do not say much at first
This sort of thing happens to people all
the time. It seems that most of us tend to look
first at the outward appearance of people we
meet and we frequently make a quick judg-
ment of them by that little bit of information
we know about them.
You can't judge a book by its cover as
the old cliche goes. The color of one's skin
any physical traits of a person or anything
else about a person's appearance does not de-
termine what that person really is. I am con-
vinced that the real person is on the inside and
not on the outside.
I have seen some changes for the better
in my own attitude as the result of prayer and
trusting God. Jesus never looked on the out-
side of a person. He always looks on the in-
side at the heart. This is the example I strive
to follow not without much difficulty be-
cause the world tends to look on the outside
and the temptation to deviate from the truth
does exist.
I have found Jesus' way to be the win-
ning way; one that says first impressions don't
count.
Be Aware of
by the Texas Medical Association
Sexual assault can happen anytime any-
place and to anyone and it is a severely
under-reported crime. Sexual assault is any
effort to force a person against his or her will
into sexual intercourse or other sexual acts.
Ninety percent of all sexual assault cases
are not reported to the police or any social
agency. Myths that sexual assault often is
provoked by the victim and that people en-
courage it by dressing provocatively or by be-
ing in a place they shouldn't be may be a rea-
son survirs rarely report assaults.
Survivors can find help at sexual assault
programs where trained staff members help
Sexual Assault
them deal with the serious aftermaths of sexu-
al assault. Sexual assault can result in sexual
ly transmitted disease pregnancy physical in
juries or even suicide.
Sexual assault by acquaintances includ-
ing boyfriends and husbands is more com-
mon than by strangers. Only five per cent of
all convicted rapists are found to be psycho-
pathic psychotic or "sick."
There is no one hundred percent
effective measure to prevent sexual assault.
Being aware that it can happen to you is the
first step towards decreasing the odds of being
sexually assaulted.
