STUDENT LIFE
Meal: Students share
Continued from page 1 '
“Honestly, I thought there
was a chance I would be
one of five [at the picnic],”
Dosa said. “But I knew that
no matter what, I wanted
them to know they weren’t
being given the cold shoul-
der by students.”
More than 20 ACU stu-
dents joined Dosa for the
meal and a bit of fellow-
ship afterward. Rebekah
Hernandez, junior psy-
chology major from San
Antonio, also received a
flier when she was denied
participation in the on-
campus forum. The meal
began at noon, but Her-
nandez and others stayed
until 3:30 p.m. or later.
“Even now I’m getting
bombarded with ques-
tions like, ‘You talked to
Soulforce? What are they
all about?’ I wish they
could have heard for
themselves,” Hernandez
said. “If [their visit] was
more public, more stu-
dents could have had their
questions answered.”
Ryan Martin, senior
marketing major from Al-
len, went “because Jesus
loves them, and I want
to love them the same.”
Martin did not know of
Soulforce’s planned visit
until Thursday. Although
he was disappointed by
the closed forum, Martin
let nothing stop him.
“The Lord used the
situation as it was to
bless Soulforce. He uses
all things together,” Mar-
tin said. “Whether it was
a good or bad decision to
close the forum, God used
it and it was really good.”

ARTS
Fest: Roulette sweeps
Continued from page 1
and drama, and each
related to the show’s
theme, Timeless.
The film Roulette
Italiana won seven of
the 15 film awards.
Produced by Travis Za-
hodnik and directed
by Zahodnik and Tra-
vis Meadors, Roulette
Italiana was filmed in
black and white and
written in Italian, with
English subtitles.
The People’s Choice
Award went to Jimmie
Jackson’s experimental
short Kids from the Un-
derground. Voting for
this award was open to
all students from Tues-
day through Thursday
night at midnight.
Rachel Kinnaman, ju-
nior management ma-
jor from Abilene, said
she voted for the film
Soundtrack because
she liked the concept
and enjoyed the music
featured.
“It’s good to include
a people’s choice award
because the films are
written by students,
so it’s important they
have feedback,” Kinna-
man said.
Craig said the 12
films featured this year
were some of the high-
est quality ever entered
in the competition.
This year’s judges
included Randy Brewer
(’93), Chris Harris (’77),
Jan Harris (’77) and Jes-
sica Gray (’99).

KACU: Radio goes high-def
Continued from page 1
the air in analog.
“It’s all installed and
sitting there waiting to go
as soon as we get this pro-
cessor working,” Thomp-
son said. “I decided in-
stead of just waiting until
we go digital, it’s better to
have the signal on the air
for listeners in the area to
get their news and regu-
lar programming.”
Thompson said he
hopes to have the situa-
tion resolved and be fully
HD within a week.
The new transmitter is
capable of broadcasting
the regular analog signal
alongside a digital signal,
so listeners without an HD
radio will not notice a dif-
ference in programming,
said Myra Dean, KACU’s
development director.
The digital signal, how-
ever, will allow KACU to
broadcast three HD sta-
tions instead of one: HD1,
HD2 and HD3.
HD1 will broadcast
the same content listen-
ers hear every day on
89.7. HD2 and HD3 will
be home to different
programs; KACU will an-
nounce those later this
year, Dean said. The main
difference, she said, will
be the sound quality.
“It will be clearer, and
the signal will be stron-
ger,” Dean said.
The HD upgrade is an ex-
citing one for many KACU
listeners - and employees.
“If you have an HD ra-
dio, the sound is almost
CD-perfect,” said Sommer-
ly Simser, KACU reporter
and senior broadcast jour-
nalism major from Las Ve-
gas. “It won’t even sound
like radio anymore.”

FACULTY
Jones: Campus confronts
loss of instructor, friend
Continued from page 1
thing,” Pullen said. “He was
a behind-the-scenes kind
of guy, although he was a
big part of the Big Purple
band and directed that in
a major way. I never knew
David to not have a smile
on his face.”
Dan Mitchell, adjunct in-
structor of guitar, worked
across the hall from Jones
in the Williams Perform-
ing Arts Center and said
he remembers sitting next
to Jones during the Home-
coming Musical.
“We were up there ev-
ery night of the week, and
he couldn’t have been
more help to me,” he said.
“He was really nice, and I
know he was an outstand-
ing musician.”
Mitchell said although
he and Jones did not work
with one another aside
from the Homecoming Mu-
sical, he remembers a kind,
helpful man.
“He was real good to
me, and his students
loved him.”
Clinton Morgan, junior
music education major
from Baird, said Jones was
his trombone instructor.
“Mr. Jones was an un-
forgettable friend and
mentor to many,” Mor-
gan said. “His spirit will
never cease to influence
the way we approach
and perform music.”
Morgan said he hopes
the ACU community
will continue to pray for
Jones’ family.
A memorial service will
take place at 1 p.m. Sat-
urday at the Williamson
County Memorial Gardens
Funeral Home in Franklin,
Term. In addition, the Mu-
sic Department will pres-
ent its annual spring con-
cert in Jones’ honor at 8
p.m. in Cullen Auditorium
on Tuesday. The free event
is open to the public, and
more information is avail-
able by calling 674-2199.
