iding a bike from Seattle to San Francisco taught Curtis Cohen how to have a step-bystep process, which is something he will take with him into his ASWSU presidential campaign. “I wasn’t going to get to San Francisco in one day, but it was more of an accumulation of steps by steps,” Cohen said. “The end goal was the Golden Gate Bridge. For the campaign, it’s winning the election.” Cohen, junior finance major, will have Sean Doster, second-year public relations and crisis communication double major, as his running mate. Cohen was a member of the 48th ASWSU Senate last year. He said his motivation to run for president was so he could be in a position to have hands-on change. “For me, it was to be more of an advocate for students,” Cohen said. Doster said running with Cohen gave him the opportunity to step into a leadership role on campus. Although he had participated in many leadership events in high school, he had yet to do so at WSU. “I kind of decided that it was time to change,” he said. “It was time for me to step up and do something bigger than myself again.” The two met through their fraternity, Phi Kappa Sigma. Doster said they did not become close until about a month and a half ago. Cohen said Doster volunteered to run with him after he got the election packet and was searching for a running mate. He said Doster handles the analytical side of the campaign while he works on building and maintaining relationships around WSU and Pullman. Their experience living in a fraternity brings benefits to their campaign,

Cohen said. Greek life contains a wide variety of students they can approach for insight. However, that does not mean they will only turn to Greek Row to get a pulse of the student body, Cohen said. “One thing we want to focus on is expanding beyond Greek life and looking into those groups that aren’t really represented as much,” he said. “[Such as] those smaller clubs on campus that might only have four people, but that doesn’t mean that they’re not important.” Doster said they have both also had experience governing over their fraternity and making daily business decisions for a big organization. Cohen was the vice president of Phi Kappa Sigma last term and Doster is currently the treasurer. They said their campaign will focus on improving the communication between ASWSU and the student body on campus. One of the challenges with their campaign is informing students an election is happening, Doster said. “We’ve walked around and have asked people if they know what ASWSU is,” Cohen said. “It’s surprising how many people don’t know what their own student government is.” He said this is not the fault of the students, but rather the fault of a lack of advertisement and social media presence within ASWSU. Part of the reason that problem exists is due to executive department issues over the last year, Doster said. He cited recent staffing issues in the communications department of ASWSU. “They resigned, but then they didn’t want to resign and then they came back,” Doster said. “The biggest thing for ASWSU is cleaning up all the internal things and putting together a good team of students from See COHEN Page 8

Hope, community, authenticity and inclusion are values an ASWSU presidential and vice-presidential candidate team plans to build their campaign on. Kylie Waddill, senior majoring in human development, is running for ASWSU president. Alongside her, Donavyn Velez-Fucal, junior double-majoring in business and sports management, is running for ASWSU vice-president. Waddill is a first-generation college student from Tacoma, Wash. When she came to WSU, she was excited to connect with the Cougar community. However, it was difficult due to her struggle with depression and anxiety. She said she feels more connected now and wants to leave a better legacy for other students. Living in a diverse community in Tacoma influenced how she wants to make an impact as ASWSU president. Waddill said she wants to highlight people’s differences and use that to maximize their strengths. “I think focusing on those reciprocal relationships that community offers can really bring a lot more to the student experience,” Waddill said. Since fall 2018, Waddill has served as the public relations chair for ASWSU Give which is a community service committee. She said her work with the committee motivated her to lead with her values: authenticity, inclusiveness and connecting people. “I am pretty loud and proud, but I still struggle,” Waddill said. “[Students] need someone who can represent them authentically and acknowledge all the struggles that we do face day-to-day as students.” She also serves in the social media committee for the College Hill Association. It is a non-profit that works

to preserve the College Hill neighborhood. Velez-Fucal is a Filipino-American, second-generation Coug. He was born in Pullman and is from Lacey, Wash. He said he is running with Waddill to help unite the communities here in WSU by using the resources available on campus. He said he hopes to uplift everyone with his “selfless and energetic” spirit and help promote positive changes and growth for students, which is one of the reasons he became involved with student government. Since last spring, Velez-Fucal has been the ASWSU senator for the Carson College of Business. He has been involved with the Carson College Library, which is currently under development. With this initiative, a library would be developed at the Carson Center in Todd Hall, he said. Students can check out the College of Business’ UCORE textbooks for free and use it within the vicinity. It aims to help those who cannot afford to buy or rent textbooks. “The skills that we’ve learned from this position, working in teams, representing people that usually don’t have a say or are underrepresented,” he said. “Just representing people overall has been a great time.” Waddill said she and Velez-Fucal are a strong team because their different attributes harmonize with one another. These attributes include Velez-Fucal’s multicultural background and Waddill’s residential Greek experience. Their campaign is called H.O.P.E, which stands for: healthy mind and body, opportunities, people-oriented and environment. For healthy mind and body, Waddill said they plan to start a certificate See WADDILL Page 8

Students prepare for 3-minute competition Winner will get $1,500 scholarship; second place will get $1,000; third will get $500 By Jakob Thorington Evergreen reporter

Discussing a power system that shifts electricity into a consumer service like Uber or Airbnb is complex for a graduate student, even more so when it needs to be discussed in only 180 seconds. Monish Mukherjee, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science graduate student, said he and other students with their own projects will take on that task during the Voiland College of Engineering and Architecture 3-Minute Thesis competition on March 5. “Summarizing the whole power system of economics in a minute is really challenging,” Mukherjee said. “Then I have to show that this is feasible and what are the benefits of this system.” He said his research attempts to make electricity more consumer friendly because it turns electricity into a neighborly service. Just as a homeowner can rent out space in an Airbnb or a driver can offer transportation for others through Uber, this proposed system allows electricity users to transfer their own service to others on a small appliance scale, he said. “We’re trying to move to the future where there’s like an Uber for electricity,” he said. Under this system, consumers would be able to transfer electricity

to larger power grids or other people, either to sell or to buy depending on what is economically feasible., he said. Joining Mukherjee in the Voiland College Qualifying Event will be two other EECS graduate students, K.J. Nitthilan and Rahul Jma. The winner will advance to the university-wide competition on March 28 and receive a $1,500 scholarship for fall 2020 according to Voiland’s 3-Minute Thesis website. The contestant who finishes in in second place will receive a $1,000 scholarship and third place will receive a $500 scholarship for fall 2020. Nitthilan said the competition is more about the opportunity to present his research, rather than an event he is actively trying to win. “It’s prestigious, yes,” he said. “This is an opportunity for me to present my research to a wider audience, doing well in the competition is secondary.” Mukherjee said he feels a similar way to Nithilan in how he is approaching the competition. He is somewhere in between 30 and 40 percent interested in winning and moving on in the competition. “It is extremely important [to talk about research],” Mukherjee said. “It’s a self-boost that says ‘Okay the work I’m doing is actually going to make an impact.’” Nitthilan will be presenting his thesis on “iCoDe,” software research he is conducting which will reduce the energy output of computer and mobile apps with high energy outputs. The

Nitthilan, graduate student, talks about the Voiland College of Engineering and Architecture 3-minute Thesis competition which will take place March 5. slogan in his presentation is “Keep it Cool iCode.” “These algorithms [on the apps] are not simple, they usually heat up the device,” he said. Nitthilan said his presentation will discuss his research on how to keep the devices cool and use less energy which increases battery life for computer and mobile devices. The challenge with delivering a

three-minute thesis is that he cannot be technical in his presentation, he said. “To make it something relatable for everyone, I think that is what I am trying to do,” he said. According to the WSU’s 3-Minute Thesis website, the event began at the College of Education in 2014. It became a university-wide competition the year after and has been held annually since.

Addressing menstrual inequality, on period

Using cups, washable pads, period underwear can save money over time, reduce waste, lower environmental impact By Rachel Sun Evergreen reporter

Roughly half the population experiences menstruation, but for those who do, period products are often inaccessible, expensive and environmentally costly. WSU Period ran a workshop Tuesday on switching to sustainable menstrual products, which can save money and reduce waste, said Aydan Garland-Miner, WSU chapter president. “One in four menstruators lack access to menstrual products, which is a huge issue,” Garland-Miner said. “Menstrual inequity and not having access to proper menstrual products is not only physically uncomfortable, but also very emotionally stressful and draining.” Although the costs of reusable products are higher than disposable products up-front, they cost less in the long run, Garland-Miner said. “I just don’t think it’s an option a lot of people think about because it’s so automatic,” said Dorothy Greenhalge, a freshman architecture major and WSU Period member. “To go to the store and buy tampons and pads, it’s what your mom taught you so it’s probably what most people do, but I think it’s really important for the earth.” According to an article by Slate, the average menstruator is estimated to produce roughly 250 to 300 pounds of garbage from menstrual products in their lifetime. There were three main types of reusable period products covered at the workshop: reusable pads, menstrual cups and period underwear. Reusable pads A set of reusable pads costs between around $14 to $30 online, depending on the brand and count. Instead of using an adhesive backing as disposable pads do, reusable pads rely on snaps on the wings. The pads can be soaked in cold water to remove the stains, then hand or machine washed. They should not be stored in plastic bags, and should not be washed with bleach or harsh chemicals. Menstrual cups There are multiple brands of menstrual cups, with most carrying two different sizes and running around $30. Cups are made from medical-grade silicone and can be emptied as needed. Cups can also last up to 12 hours, while tampons should be replaced every four to six hours to avoid toxic shock syndrome.

COURTESY OF OLIVIA SPILKER

Menstrual cups cost around $30 and are made of medical-grade silicone. The cups can last up to 12 hours and are inserted similarly to a tampon. The cups should be washed with water and gentle soap. Cup users should wash their hands before using the cup, which is folded, then inserted like a tampon where they pop open and create an airtight seal. After use, the contents can then be dumped in the toilet, and the cup washed with water and a gentle soap. If someone is in a public bathroom, it’s OK to not wash the cup right away, Garland-Miner said. “If you’re in a public restroom, you can just dump it in the toilet, you don’t have to go through the whole washing phase,” she said. “If you want to wash it in the sink, go for it, be a period warrior, but if you don’t, no worries.” Like the pads, menstrual cups should not be stored in plastic, but rather kept in the fabric bag they come with. If a cup user wants to make sure they’re being extra hygienic, they can boil the cups when they’re done using them at the end of a cycle, Garland-Miner said. Period underwear Period underwear looks and feels the same as normal underwear, Garland-Miner said. However one pair can cost around $40. A pack of underwear can cost between around $80 to $100. Period underwear can be used for about four hours of bleeding, then

switched out for another pair or product. Other issues In addition to holding workshops, WSU Period advocates for increased accessibility to menstrual products. WSU Period has partnered with other groups on campus and individuals including GIESORC director Matthew Jeffries, the Gender Inclusive & Trans* Support Work Group and Jaime Nolan, associate vice president for Community, Equity and Inclusive Excellence, to provide menstrual products in bathrooms on campus, Garland-Miner said. “WSU is pretty ahead of the times as far as colleges and universities go,” she said. Ideally, all buildings should have menstrual products, Garland-Miner said, but so far they’re limited to the CUB, the SPARK, the CUE and Todd Hall. The group has also worked on statewide legislation to increase the accessibility of hygiene items in schools. “We took on what’s called policy bootcamp, which is basically, for us, trying to get menstrual products See PERIOD Page 8

Men’s basketball seeks to sweep Apple Cup series Cougar efforts to stop Huskies’ Stewart, McDaniels will impact game’s outcome By Ryan Root Evergreen men’s basketball reporter

SU men’s basketball will face the University of Washington Huskies in the second leg of the 2020 Boeing Apple Cup series at 6 p.m. today in the HEC Edmundson Pavilion in Seattle. WSU (14-14, 5-10) won the first matchup against UW (13-15, 3-12) 79-67 on Feb. 9. and looks to sweep UW for the first time since the 201617 season. Sophomore forward CJ Elleby scored a career high 34 points in the previous matchup against UW. The Seattle native said he plans on doing whatever it takes to win the game rather than replicate his performance. “My focus isn’t about beating my career best,” Elleby said. “My focus is on just getting the win and doing whatever I got to do to help my team win.” Alongside Elleby that game, junior guard Isaac Bonton scored 12 points in one of his last games before his recent injury. Bonton

has missed the past three games due to a hip injury but was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice. “[I’m] feeling confident that he’s closer to playing,” head coach Kyle Smith said. “I think we’re heading in the right direction.” Smith said the Cougars will run a rotation that depends on the Huskies’ zone defense alterations throughout the game. Freshman center Volodymyr Markovetskyy’s playing time may take a considerable jump with the Huskies’ length, Smith said. The Cougars will play at least seven players in the rotation, possibly eight or nine, Smith said. UW leading scorer freshman forward Isaiah Stewart has recently succeeded in blocking shots since facing WSU. In the Huskies’ last four games, Stewart averages three blocks per game, which is about half of the team’s season average. Washington is second in the country in blocks with an average of 6.3 per game. When Stewart faced against WSU

earlier in February, he scored 11 points shooting 30 percent from the field, had five turnovers and zero blocks. Smith said the Cougars aim to mix up their defensive approach against Stewart by defending both his post and perimeter skillset. “They’re playing him at the four some,” Smith said. “We got to prepare for that a little bit.” Coming off the bench for the Huskies recently is freshman forward Jaden McDaniels. He averages 12.3 points, five rebounds, and shoots 40 percent from three over the past six games. Junior forward Marvin Cannon said the Cougars definitely recognize McDaniels’ talent, but they aim to dampen his impact similarly to the last game. “He’s going to be a tough assignment but nothing we haven’t seen before,” Cannon said. “Nothing we can’t handle.” Washington comes off a win against the University of California Golden Bears snapping the Huskies’ nine-game losing streak spanning over a month. A loss from WSU this Friday would assure the Huskies to finish in last place in the Pac-12 this season. WSU holds the possible risk of dropping below .500 depending on the outcome against UW. Smith said the Cougars remain focused on each game as its own and will approach the Huskies like any other game. “You can’t get caught up in that; there’s

ebbs and flows,” Smith said. “We’ve just got to control what we can control and play well and see if we can get this done.” The Cougars tip-off against the Huskies to finish the 2019-20 Boeing Apple Cup series at 6 p.m. today in the Alaska Airlines Arena at HEC Edmundson Pavilion in Seattle. The game will air on FS1.

Cougars travel to face Ducks, Beavers Women’s basketball looks for its first win against top 25 team vs. Oregon schools By Carson Brown Evergreen women’s basketball reporter

The WSU women’s basketball team is on the road in Oregon to face off against the No. 3 University of Oregon Ducks and the No. 17 Oregon State University Beavers. The Cougars (11-17, 4-12) are in the middle of a five-game losing streak and haven’t won since the comeback victory over Colorado on Feb. 7. WSU is moving in the right direction whether they win or lose, senior guard Chanelle Molina said. “It’s a never-ending process of learning and growing as team,” Molina said. “[The locker room] always stays positive and that’s what keeps us going.”

WSU faces two ranked teams this weekend and with the loss against No. 8 UCLA last week they fell to 0-12 against teams ranked in the top 25. Every game is a battle because of the different options each team has, Molina said. “You can’t just shut down one person or the other players will go off,” Molina said. “It comes down to defensive execution.” The Cougars open the weekend against the Ducks (26-2, 15-1) on Friday. Oregon is led by legendary senior guard Sabrina Ionescu. Ionescu averages 17.3 points per game, 8.9 assists per game, and 8.8 rebounds per game. She recently became the first ever college basketball player to total 2,000 points, 1,000 rebounds and 1,000 assists in a collegiate career.

The Ducks have won 14 straight games and have an average margin of victory of 19 points in these games. Their last lost was to Arizona State University on Jan. 10. On Sunday, the Cougars face off with the Beavers (20-8, 8-8). Oregon State has lost four of its last five games. The Beavers are led by redshirt junior guard Destiny Slocum and senior guard Mikayla Pivec. Slocum is averaging 15.1 points per game and excels from beyond the arc as she shoots 37.7 percent. Pivec averages 15 points and makes a major contribution on the glass averaging 9.5 rebounds per game with 3.5 of those being offensive rebounds. The Cougars play the Ducks

at 8 p.m. Friday at Matthew Knight Arena in Eugene. They will head north to Corvallis to face the Beavers at noon Sunday at Gill Coliseum. Both games can be viewed on the Pac-12 Networks.

Letter to the editor

Education on Samoa

Feiran zou | daily evergreen illustration

It is important to feel accepted wherever you go, and multicultural spaces offer options for students who may not be comfortable in other places on campus.

Respect all spaces

Multicultural spaces are important, integral and irreplaceable for students who need them By Joel Kemegue Evergreen columnist

The Multicultural Student Centers are some of my favorite places on campus. If you have time in between or after classes you can go up to any of the centers on the fourth floor of the CUB and study, talk to people, sleep or do whatever you need to do that’s legal in a public space. But besides the convenience there’s also a sense of community that comes with them that still exists outside the fourth floor but is harder to find. “When you go to the [Chicanx/Latinx Student Center] it makes you feel at home,” said CLSC student mentor Hugo Barragan. “It kind of gives you a reminder why you’re in college in the first place.”

I went to a high school with over 1500 students, and during my junior year, one of the two black faculty members told me there were about 30 black men in the entire school. I did not usually see a lot of people who looked like me in that school. But during my sophomore year the two black faculty members decided to start hosting meetings for the black men at school. During lunch we’d go down to a classroom, a classroom where I could see more unique black men than I would in a month and were able to talk about issues that pertain to being black. Issues I had a much harder time talking about with other people. And though we only had those meetings once a month, they were some of the best parts of my high school experience. And herein lies the power that multicultural centers have. Not to say we’re all constantly talking about critical race theory and identity in the centers, but there is identity among the people in the centers. And as long as that identity affects how we interact with the world See SPACE Page 6

CUB should be 24hrs

Lauren PETTIT | DAILY EVERGREEN ILLUSTRATION

College students stay up into the late hours of the day, so the CUB should stay open too.

Panda Express and others should be open later By Anthony Torchia Evergreen columnist

The CUB serves as the primary student union building on campus here at WSU. The CUB itself hosts a dynamic range of offices, meeting places, ballrooms, stores and food vendors. However, none of the

businesses inside the CUB, as well as the CUB building itself, are open 24 hours. Making this change happen could benefit students who stay on campus late at night. “When I leave there is See CUB Page 6

Dear Editor: Thank you for your article called “United States of Alienation” which summed up a lecture by Rob Ruck, Professor of History at the University of Pittsburgh. Personally, I was not aware of said lecture, but I am always enthusiastic when there is a program on campus that explores an aspect of Samoan or the greater Pacific community. I write this letter because many of the past opinion columns published by this paper were dominantly written from a non-Samoan perspective, which is not inherently bad-- I applaud those who take initiative in trying to understand cultures that are different from their own — but an unfortunate side effect is that some nuances might get lost in translation. I would like to supplement Professor Ruck’s lecture and the article with a little more explanation regarding Samoan culture, for yours and your readers’ benefit. For the last hundred years or so, some in the western world came to learn of Samoan society through the lenses of anthropologists like Margaret Mead or Derek Freeman. In those context, Samoa and the Samoans were a subject of “scientific” study into “primitive” cultures and societies. But a new lens dawns on us today and that is through athleticism and the sports industry. It is no secret that many successful and famous players throughout major sports such as Boxing, Wrestling, World Rugby, International Rugby League, and the American National Football League are of Samoan or Pacific heritage. However, there are also many Samoan and Pacific people that are successful in other areas of history, politics, teaching, music, etc. This fixation of certain American colleges with Pacific athletes, while it may come from a place of good intention, is in reality toxic. It carries with it an assumption that the only support structure needed by the Samoan and Pacific students are towards sports. Granted, there are Samoans and Pacific students whose passion lies in sports, but it would be unwise to suggest that all do. This kind of fixation exoticizes Samoa and the other Pacific islands. We are normal people, just like your average Joe-but granted, our average Ioane may be little bigger and taller than Joe. With the goal in mind of demystifying Samoa and the greater Pacific, I would like to offer you a third lens by which you can view Samoa and the greater Pacific region: Samoa is located in Polynesia. Polynesia is one of three (the other two being Melanesia and Micronesia) regions which together with Australia forms Oceania. Samoan people are dominantly Christians and attend church like any other every Sunday (or Saturday for the Seventh-day Adventist). Depending on where in the archipelago you are, the locals may enjoy watching a rugby or the American equivalent, football, with their Koko-Samoa on Sunday afternoon. However, kirikiti, a uniquely Samoan form of cricket, is a favorite past-time that can make or break villages (okay, kidding). Samoan culture, like others in the Blue Pacific, also emphasizes respect and deference to authority. This deference is justified because in the aganu’u fa’asamoa (Samoan culture), “o le ala i le pule o le tautua,” the path to leadership/authority is through service (though this may vary in practice). The topic of “fa’asamoa” is a complex one and not easily fathomed even by Samoans who for the most part grew up in the diaspora. Samoan culture is very much about full-immersion in order to fully grasp it. As in the words of many of the elderly “va’ai maka ma fa’alogo kaliga” – look with your eyes, and open your ears. Another point to make, the many societies in the Pacific region were not formed by a cookie-cutting machine. Although Pacific cultures such as Samoan, Tongan, Fijian, Hawaiian, Tahitian, Maori, Guamanian, Chamorro, Carolinian, Marshallese, Solomon (and many more) share similarities, but each have little nuances and difference which makes them unique and standalone in their own right. Lastly, I wish to add, much more than understanding or appreciating a culture, a person should learn to respect the natural differences that exists between people. I would rather applaud a person who is ignorant of my traditions yet respects/dignify it, than they who knows of my traditions yet makes a mockery out of it. I write this Letter to the Editor in an effort to help clarify not just the topics covered within the referenced article, but also to address previous publications by Daily Evergreen, which I felt did a disservice to understanding Samoa and the Pacific. Thank you! Respectfully, Pesi Taototo pesi.taototo@wsu.edu

and how the world interacts with us, spaces like that will be important. Director of Multicultural Student Services Stephen Bischoff said the centers exist to help students throughout their college career and sustain their culture on campus. He said the goal of the centers is to always be welcoming and inclusive to everyone at WSU. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those spaces are still spaces that are carved out by stu-

dents,â&#x20AC;? Bischoff said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a space where we recognize that there is a need to have these home bases or spaces that can be promoting education and identity.â&#x20AC;? Bischoff said the challenging thing on predominantly white campuses is that students of color might not feel support in their identities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Identity in our society is something that we have to battle with often because of perceptions of what our experiences are... thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different things that shape us.â&#x20AC;? Bischoff said. Rick Flores, Interim Retention Counselor for the Chicanx/ Latinx Student Center, encourages students to come up here and not only learn about the Chicano/Latinx community, but also talk to people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to come up here, talk with people. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just come up here and sit with yourself. The whole point of these centers and why we have them is to build community. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t build community if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re staying quiet,â&#x20AC;? Flores said. Flores said students will only be asked to leave if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being racist, homophobic or pushing any type of hate speech. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need allies from outside our community,â&#x20AC;? Flores said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who are we to push people that want to associate and help us out?â&#x20AC;? So, go to a multicultural center. Sit, talk to people and if you see me in the African-American Student Center, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to tell me how much you love my writing. Just remember that while these spaces are for everyone and everyone should come, they do hold special significance for some people. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a deterrent, nor do I want it to deter you. Just keep it in mind. Joel Kemegue is a creative writing major from Bellevue, Wash.

nothing else open, especially when I was living in the dorms I never had food at home,â&#x20AC;? said Sean Gilbert, WSU sophomore engineering major. Gilbert said that when he is studying late at night in the Terrell Library, he sometimes stays until 1:00-2:00 am, and even has stayed until 3:00 am during dead week and finals week. Currently, there are nine different food vendors that operate within the CUB. However, a majority of these vendors, ranging from Reunion Cafe to Carlitaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to Pizza Pipeline, close between the hours of 4:00 pm and 8:00 pm. Some vendors, such as Panda Express and the Union Marketplace, remain open until later; 9:00 pm and 11:00 pm respectively; yet they still inevitably close before even midnight. Having these food vendors remaining open 24 hours a day could cater to students who study late at Holland and Terrell Libraries. Many students spend long amounts of time studying late, and the amount of students in the library throughout the night increases at multiple points in the semester, particularly during midterms, dead week and finals week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m done studying and everything I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really wanna go home and make food so just being able to eat there would be really beneficial,â&#x20AC;? said Evan Kabat, a junior advertising major. Students could also benefit academically if the CUB operated 24 hours a day. The CUB features a large open area on the main floor for students to relax and study. If the main open area is too distracting, students can also study in the quiet study lounge, which is also located on the main floor. There is also the Reunion Cafe on the lower level, along with the tables lining the wall along the main concourse on the lower level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes you just wanna change spaces ... You start losing focus and then you go on a walk, take a break and start

somewhere new, and [that] can help you refocus,â&#x20AC;? said Gilbert. All of these spaces in the CUB could be open late at night for students such as Gilbert to study in, and also provide a pleasant alternative to the Holland and Terrell Libraries, which often become overcrowded when exams start to overwhelm students. Having the CUB remain open for 24 hours could also benefit students through providing more work opportunities throughout the CUB. If businesses in the CUB remain open throughout the night, the possibility creates new work shifts at each running business. These new shifts could be covered by hiring new employees to work throughout the night, opening up new job positions throughout the entire building. Students that live in residence halls and have a Residence Dining Account could receive extra benefits if the CUB stayed open for 24 hours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having food or drinks around when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re studying is really nice and again â&#x20AC;Ś weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not having to spend money on [food] delivery when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already spending a lot of money to go here,â&#x20AC;? said Jayden Patterson, WSU freshman marketing major. Patterson currently lives in a residence hall on campus and has access to a RDA. RDA is accepted as a payment form at several of the food vendors within the CUB, such as Carlitaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Freshens. Allowing students to use their RDA funds at these vendors on a 24-hour basis will encourage students to visit these places more frequently, but also will allow students to use their RDA to purchase food late at night, instead of relying on cash or card to pay for food delivery or making the long trek to Flix. While the CUB is currently a hub for activity and students on campus during the day, keeping it open throughout the night could provide these same resources for students who stay on campus throughout the night.

COHEN | Continued from Page 1 all around campus that Curtis and I don’t just happen to be friends with.” With a good team, they would like to work with the university and city of Pullman to build projects that stand the test of time, Cohen said. To do that, they will need to create good working relationships with administration at WSU and the city to build upon their projects after their time in office. “We’ll only be here for a year, but administration will be here for 10-20 years,” Cohen said. “When we graduate, we don’t want our projects to go away.” Cohen said it took him until this year to find out there was an Indonesian organization at WSU. As someone who is half Indonesian, he said he wishes that was something he knew about in his freshman year.

“It’s great being in Pullman, but at the same time while this is home, I also want to get a sense of home from my own culture,” he said. Cohen hopes he can help students avoid the type of experience he had by finding clubs and organizations they can identify with early on, he said. “You matter, regardless of where you’re from,” Cohen said. “The diversity that each person brings here on campus is something that is ultimately a strength.” Individuals can follow their campaign @cohendosterforaswsu on Instagram. ASWSU will hold a multicultural debate March 5 and a general election debate March 7. General election voting will open March 10-11.

program that will acknowledge students’ efforts for taking care of their health. They also want to develop an Alive program, which will focus on self-care and how it affects a student’s education. Under opportunities, they want to create a system where student involvement is better tracked, she said. They also plan to find new engaging ways to get students more involved on campus and create ways for students’ involvement to become better highlighted on resumes. Miscommunication between the different ASWSU branches has been an issue, Velez-Fucal said. Waddill said an important aspect of this is ensuring communication across all ASWSU committees and other organizations on campus so groups can support one another. Velez-Fucal said they want their campaign to be people-oriented. To do this, they plan to support a Surplus Food Notification, which has already begun. Students receive notifications about excess food during events. This helps reduce food

waste and helps students get free food. “If we’re going to round it back up to healthy body, healthy mind, people need food in their body and energy to process the information we’re learning in college every day,” Velez-Fucal said. They are also looking at developing a tenant association which will help students live off campus by helping them understand contracts. Waddill said there is a local landlord association that strategically works to take advantage of students who rent. She said they plan to work with the Environmental Sustainability Alliance to establish sustainability projects. They also want to develop more service opportunities on campus relating to the environment and educate people about recycling. “A lot of times we think of community service as us going into the community, but I think that we’re one here, too,” Waddill said. ASWSU will hold a multicultural debate March 5 and a general election debate March 7. General election voting will open March 10-11.

PERIOD | Continued from Page 3 in all public schools in Washington state,” Garland-Miner said. The group is currently trying to get state legislation passed that would provide free menstrual products in schools grades 6 through 12. Accessible period products and destigmatizing menstruation is important, Greenhalge said. “Menstruation is something that can be kind of icky for some people, and I don’t think that it should be like that,” she said. “Half the population experiences it once a month, like, it’s not weird, it’s not gross.” Lack of access to menstrual products can cause stress and make it harder to succeed academically, Garland-Miner said. Students may worry about where to find a pad or if they’re bleeding through clothing instead of their studies. “In the last two weeks we were in Jackson

[Hall] and a friend of mine didn’t have a pad,” she said. “The machine was 25 cents and we had to run to class and ask every single person if they had a quarter, and we got the quarter, we got to the machine and the machine was empty.” There’s also a so-called “pink tax” in Washington, which classifies menstrual products as luxury items despite their necessity for menstruators. Part of the problem is that people are uncomfortable talking about periods, Garland-Miner said. “There’s a stigma against menstruation, girls sliding tampons up their sleeves or down their boot,” she said. “That’s also an impediment to our ability to talk about it, especially when it comes to policy. Because in my experience, even at WSU, the people who are dealing with the money are often the people who are also resistant to having the conversations.”
