Resident tackles food insecurity

Groups aim to provide warm clothing for winter People can drop off new, gently-used items at 110 South Jefferson St. By Madysen McLain Evergreen reporter

“Somebody receiving help, in my opinion, shouldn’t be made to feel like they need to go to the backdoor,” said Michelle Mason, chair of Poverty on the Palouse. The group focuses on food insecurity in the area.

Moscow group compiled resource guide that includes food banks, pantries By Angelica Relente Evergreen reporter

ichelle Mason took a job as a waitress at IHOP in 2002 because she knew she just

had to. “I took it because I haven’t eaten for three days,” Mason, 46, said. She asked the manager when was

the soonest time she could begin her shift. She started working 30 minutes after she walked through the door that had a “Now Hiring” sign, she said. “I got to eat that day,” she said. “I ate a lot of pancakes.” Mason, who is also the chair of Poverty on the Palouse, said people who are food insecure may look for jobs that involve food. “Working and food insecurity are not oppositional,” she said. The food insecurity rate in Whitman County is 19.7 percent and 17.5 percent

in Latah County, according to a 2018 report from the Palouse Tables Project. Poverty on the Palouse is a group based in Moscow, Idaho, that focuses on food insecurity issues in both Latah and Whitman counties. Mason said the group works with local non-profit organizations like food banks and pantries. Poverty on the Palouse has recently compiled a resource guide that includes not only food bank services, but also clothing and transportation See Poverty Page 7

The Unitarian Universalist Church of the Palouse and the Moscow Public Library are taking donations to provide warm gloves, scarves, hats and other winter clothing as part of the Chase the Chill Initiative this winter. Ginger Allen, Unitarian Universalist Church of the Palouse director of family ministries, said people wanting to donate items can drop off gently used or new winter clothes at the Moscow Public Library foyer, at 110 South Jefferson St. in Moscow. Items can also be donated to the Unitarian Universalist Church, which is located on 420 East 2nd St. in Moscow. “People don’t realize we do have people who are financially on the edge,” Allen said. She said she collects donated items once a week, then kids in the children and youth program go through the items, put them in gallon-size bags, See Initiative Page 7

Student chosen as delegate for UN climate change conference Delegates will blog about conference, policy discussions By Loren Negron Evergreen reporter

A WSU student will attend the 25th annual United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change’s Conference of the Parties as a delegate for the American Chemical Society. The convention will take place Dec. 2-13 in Madrid, Spain. Kristian Gubsch, Honors College senior chemical engineering major, said the event is the biggest global climate change conference in the world. As one of ten ACS delegates, he will interview national leaders, scientists and policymakers. One of his main responsibilities is to communicate the science and climate change policies that will be discussed during the conference to the public. Delegates will blog about the conference and policy discussions through the Students

on Climate Change website. He said he wants to develop newsletters to send conference updates. “I want to see what the stance is on climate change around the world,” Gubsch said. “I think that is what would be the most enriching for me is trying to better grasp how other countries are dealing with this issue and talking about this issue.” Gubsch said he received media training in Washington D.C. to prepare for the conference. Each delegate is expected to write a book chapter that will share their conference experience. In the spring delegates will attend an ACS conference in Philadelphia to present their work. He said his chapter will focus on negative emissions technology, which is a long-term career interest of his. This technology enables the conversion of CO2 from the atmosphere into something that will benefit sociGRACE JOO | THE DAILY EVERGREEN ety.

GPSA featured a speaker who discussed the new additions to the Washington State University Children Center’s evening program during Monday night’s meeting. Director of WSUCC Heather MacDermott-Havey said the main goal of the evening program is to support graduate and professional students who also have children. MacDermott-Havey said the evening program began using a tablet this year that can translate numerous different languages. “It is really helping the other children communicate and build a healthy social connection with their peers and friends,” she said. MacDermott-Havey said the entire program also serves as a lab school and provides highquality education for the children, while also being a teaching institution for students. “We have 60 to 70 student staff members who can come work with us in the different classrooms,” she said. MacDermott-Havey welcomed GPSA members to consider what they could learn from young children while completing their studies. “It is not just daycare or evening care, It is an opportunity for people to be successful to graduate and that’s what our goal is to provide that for parents,” she said. “It is a place for people to bring their children so they can study, have study groups or just simply study without their child,” she said. MacDermott-Havey said evening care is offered from 5:309:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

University increases campus recycling efforts About $4,000 invested in specific recycling signs to reduce contamination By Andrea Gonzalez Evergreen reporter

WSU waste management added new recycling signs around campus to specify what items can be recycled or not. Rick Finch, manager of WSU waste management, said the university invested roughly $4,000 on the signage in an effort to keep the recycling program sustainable. The recycling markets around the world have been in a state of change for about two years, Finch said. China changed its importing policy for recyclable material and closed the door on about half of the world’s recycling commodity market, he said. In 2017 and 2018, WSU waste management was told by WestRock Recycling that contamination was an issue because the wrong types of materials were being recycled, Finch said. There’s a difficulty in getting people to follow the signs and program rules, he said. The recycling program is different in other places and some people might come from countries where they

don’t recycle, Finch said. There has been a careful screening of what’s being recycled in an effort to clean the material up, he said. When there’s contamination in the recycling there ends up being no market value and the material will not be recycled, Finch said. An average American generates about five and one-half pounds of solid waste, he said. The problem is that there is not a place for recycling, which is a reason why companies charge to haul recycling, he said. Finch said WSU waste management is paying around $140 dollars a ton to have commingled recycling hauled away, Finch said. Ron Redman, assistant manager of WSU waste management, said the goal is to move away from paying a lot of money to get rid of the material to generating positive material revenue to offset the cost. When bales contain mixed materials the recycling facilities pick out all the good stuff they want and the rest goes to the trash, Redman said. Nathan Kite, coordinator of WSU recycling collection, said an average weight of a bale is about 1,500 pounds. Even if there isn’t a revenue

ANDREA GONZALEZ | THE DAILY EVERGREEN

Rick Finch, manager of WSU waste management, says contaminated material in recycling bins lower the market value and cannot be recycled. back it’s still a huge savings to the university as a disposal cost if materials are recycled correctly, Redman said. That’s why it’s important that signs are correct and that the

campus community follow the signs, Redman said. There is less garbage being collected and more recyclable materials being collected instead because of the changes to the

signs, Kite said. Before changes were made there were six garbage cans being filled every day with garbage from the recycling in the area and now there is one, he said.

WSU should create intercollegiate debate team Debate leads to conversation, breaks down party barriers By Jacob Hersh Evergreen columnist

reat leaders, thinkers and writers have all had one thing in common: a love for educated, informed debate. William Buckley vs. Gore Vidal, Abraham Lincoln vs. Stephen Douglas and Jordan Peterson vs. Slavoj Zizek, among hundreds of other scholars, have all been able to expand their thoughts and opinions through rational debate against their intellectual rivals. WSU’s most recent political debate between campus Republicans, Democrats and Libertarians exemplifies the ways debate can bring those of opposing sides and viewpoints together through intelligent discussion and conversation. A comprehensive understanding of argument and debate allows students to strengthen their own opinions while considering the arguments of their opponents. An extracurricular study and practice of debate also help students become better writers and speakers, which are both crucial skills

Having a debate team would make WSU look good and foster productive and thoughtful conversation, even between those who disagree and identify with opposing political parties. that are needed to get ahead in today’s job market. As such, WSU should have an official debate team. As of now, we’re sorely lacking in one, which isn’t to say that numerous student groups haven’t tried to fill that void. The Ethics Bowl, the Political Science Club and numerous other student political interest groups have sponsored various forms of public debate. However, what is truly needed is a dedicated campus debate

team that can compete in the intercollegiate circuit. “Debaters have to be well prepared and able to think quickly on their feet in order for the most concise, effective message to be conveyed,” said Hannah Martian, senior sport management major, and president of the WSU Young Democrats, in an email. Some of the world’s best universities have fielded truly incredible teams. Harvard springs immediately

to mind, as does the Stanford debate team. However, Ivy Leagues by no means have a monopoly on intelligent debaters, as can be evidenced by the win records of some lesser-known schools, such as my hometown’s college, the University of Alaska. Washington has also produced some stellar debate programs at Seattle University, Gonzaga University and the Univ*rsity of W*shington (name censored for political reasons.)

“I think [having a debate team] would give us a very good reputation, and promote our image as a school,” said Tanner Elliott, freshman political science major, and vice-chairman of the WSU GOP, who represented the Republican side in the campus political debate. “I think it’s a great idea.” Student leaders on campus have also voiced their support for debate to spark political conversation, especially after See Debate Page 8

Redshirt senior forward Borislava Hristova goes for a layup over a Beijing Normal University defender Thursday night at Beasley Coliseum.

Waves crash into Beasley Coliseum Cougars open their regular season tonight; look to seniors Hristova, Molina for win against Pepperdine By Shayne Taylor Evergreen reporter

omen’s basketball will face off against the Pepperdine University Waves at 7 p.m. on Tuesday at home for the first regular-season game of the new season. WSU will look to continue its success against the Waves after a 71-63 exhibition victory against Beijing Normal University on Thursday.

Redshirt senior forward Borislava Hristova led the team with 28 points after shooting 12-19 from the floor in the exhibition win. Senior guard Chanelle Molina posted a double-double in the game putting up 18 points and 13 rebounds. Molina also had seven assists. The Waves also saw action last week as they won their exhibition game 77-49 against Biola University. Pepperdine’s redshirt senior guard

Paige Fecske posted a team-high 26 points in the game. This was Fecske’s first game back after a season-ending injury during the 2018-2019 basketball season. In a press conference held on Friday, head coach Kamie Ethridge said that the senior leadership on the team is going to be a key for the team’s success, and she has noticed the younger players on the roster buying in. “Chanelle and Bobi, those two could not be in the gym more and could not devote more of themselves to the game,” Ethridge said in

a press conference. Her biggest piece of advice to her players for this season is to be better than they were yesterday and if they stay the course then success will follow, Ethridge said. WSU goes into this basketball season with one of the toughest overall schedules in the country, which includes facing 2019 national champions Baylor University on Nov. 28. One of the most important things her players need to remember to do is to be scrappy, Ethridge said. WSU will host Pepperdine at 7 p.m. on Tuesday in Beasley Coliseum in Pullman.

Athlete of the Week: Morgan Weaver Weaver made six total goals in two games, has 11 this season By Sam Grant Evergreen reporter

The Daily Evergreen Athlete of the Week award goes to senior forward Morgan Weaver for her performance during WSU soccer’s senior game against Colorado on Sunday. In her last regular-season game in Pullman, Weaver put the team on her back, going on a rampage scoring all four of WSU’s goals for the day as they defeated Colorado 4-1. Weaver cemented herself into WSU history with her performance tying the Cougar record that had not been touched in 27 years. She is the second player in WSU history to score four goals in a game. In a post game interview, Weaver said she had confidence in her team. “I knew coming into this game that we were going to win,” Weaver said. “I just had a feeling after Thursday’s win.” Colorado was not the first team that Weaver left her mark on this week as she recorded two goals in a 4-1 win over Utah on Thursday.

“I just had a good feeling about my team,” Weaver said. “The energy we brought. The girls that did an amazing job decorating for senior night. I just had a great feeling, and I already knew.” In a post game interview, head coach Todd Shulenberger, who has been Weaver’s coach since she came to WSU, said it was a special day for the seniors after Colorado with WSU. “They’ve earned this season,” Shulenberger said. “They’ve helped reshape and continue to build this program to another level.” Weaver marked her third game with three or more goals in her career. Before Sunday, her last hat-trick performance was against Washington to end the 2018 season. The Cougars travel to Seattle to face No. 21 Washington in the Boeing Apple Cup series at 7 p.m. on Friday in their final regular-season game. “Morgan, she’s starting to warm up at the right time, and that’s scary,” Shulenberger said. After this season, Weaver looks to continue her soccer career, in hopes of playing in the National Women’s Soccer League.

Senior forward Morgan Weaver dribbles the ball down the field during the game against OSU on Sept. 28 at the Lower Soccer Field. WSU won 2-1. “She’s a very likable young lady, both from the coaching staff and the players,” Shulenberger said. With a match against the

Huskies in Seattle up next for WSU, all eyes will be on Weaver to see if she can keep up her high caliber performance for the Cougars.

The Boeing Apple Cup series will take place at 7 p.m. on Friday at Husky Soccer Stadium in Seattle. The game can be viewed on the Pac-12 Networks.

OPINION: AP Top 25 basketball poll review Highest ranked teams play tonight; Memphis should be higher up By Kuria Pounds Evergreen columnist

The Associated Press released its preseason Top 25 poll on Oct. 28. A lot of transactions happened this offseason, after March Madness, that included players leaving for the draft, bringing in 5-star recruits or having athletes transfer to other colleges. Before basketball tips off, here is what is right and what is wrong with the AP Top 25 preseason poll. What is right with the poll: Michigan State is number one overall. I expected that. After retaining most of that final four team, especially candidate for player of the year senior guard Cassius Winston. This is the first time Michigan State has been ranked number one overall in the preseason in school history. Hopefully, the Spartans live up to that ranking when they play number two overall, Kentucky, in their first game of the season at 6:30 p.m. tonight. Florida and Louisville are both in the top six, and it is an interesting move. Florida was a 10 seed last year and Louisville was a seven seed in the NCAA Tournament. Even though both teams did not make it to the Sweet 16 both teams did have great offseasons and

recruited top talent. Gonzaga University, St. Mary’s College of California, Utah State University and Virginia Commonwealth University are all ranked at the beginning. Now, I do like it when the non-major conferences get some representation in the Top 25. All the teams stated were in the tournament last year, Gonzaga was a one-seed, St. Mary’s was an 11-seed, and both Utah State and VCU were eight-seeds. I expect them to be better this season. What is wrong with the poll: Memphis needs to be higher. Yes, they are in a non-major conference, but Memphis should be in the top 10. Memphis had one of the best recruiting classes with five five-star recruits coming in. With their new coach, Penny Hardaway, most of their starting lineup consists of future firstround draft picks. Last year, the hype was all around Duke, Zion Williamson and RJ Barrett. This year, Memphis has the same hype. So, why are they ranked No. 14 when Duke was number two in the preseason last year. Oregon is in the top 25 again. Be hesitant to have them doing well. Now, the Ducks did have postseason success upsetting Wisconsin and beating UC Irvine to reach the Sweet 16. However, at the beginning of the season, they had the same high ranking and fell very quickly. To Oregon’s credit, the team did lose their

star center Bol Bol for the year last season, but to go from a potential five-seed in the tournament and fall all the way to an auto-bid 12-seed shows the inconsistencies of Oregon. The two teams who played in the national championship game should earn a little more respect. Virginia is all the way down at 11 and Texas Tech is down at 13. The defending champion Virginia Cavaliers had an impressive season, and even though most of their talent left for the NBA draft, head coach Tony Bennett still knows how to coach this team to a national championship, especially after 16-seed UMBC upset them in the first round.

Pac-12 Football Power Rankings Four conference teams had bye weeks including WSU, Cal who play Sat. By Shawn P. O’Connor Evergreen reporter

1. No. 8 Utah (8-1, 5-1, Last:1) Utah survived a frisky UW team, winning in Seattle 33-28. Zack Moss had another 100yard game on the ground for the Utes, and the Utah defense forced three Washington turnovers. With several CFP contenders picking up losses Utah has a chance to make a push for a national championship. Utah takes a bye this week. 2. No. 7 Oregon (8-1, 6-0, Last: 2) Oregon woke up in the second quarter, rolling USC

56-24. Despite trailing 10-0 after the first quarter, Justin Herbert and company cruised the rest of the game, outscoring the trojans 56-14 the rest of the way. A lone Herbert interception was the only blemish on a near-perfect game for Oregon. Oregon takes a bye this week. 3. Washington (5-4, 2-4, Last: 4) Washington’s disappointing season continues, as they drop a 33-28 result at home to Utah. Jacob Eason had another rough game, completing 56 percent of his passes and turning the ball over three times. A weak Pac12 keeps UW at the third spot in the rankings. Washington plays Oregon State in Corvallis on Friday night.

4. Southern California (5-4, 4-2, Last: 3) The Trojans couldn’t hold on in the Coliseum, falling 56-24 to the Ducks. Kedon Slovis had a rollercoaster of an evening, passing for 264 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions. USC lost the turnover battle by three and forced only two punts. USC plays ASU in Tempe this week. 5. Washington State (4-4, 1-4, Last: 5) WSU was idle last week. They play Cal in Berkeley this week. 6. Oregon State (4-4, 3-2, Last: 6) OSU continues to charge towards the top of the Pac12 North Standings, flying by Arizona with a 56-38 win. Oregon State collected

572 yards from scrimmage, including 244 on the ground while not committing a turnover. Oregon State hosts Washington Friday night. 7. UCLA (4-5, 4-2, Last: 7) UCLA continues to control its destiny in the Pac-12 South, defeating Colorado 31-14. The Bruins outscored Colorado 17-0 in the first quarter and never looked back, cruising on another strong performance by Dorian Thompson-Robinson. UCLA takes a bye this week. 8. Arizona State (5-3, 2-3, Last: 8) The Sun Devils were idle last week. They host USC Saturday. 9. Stanford (4-4, 3-3, Last: 9) Stanford was idle last week. They travel to Boulder to play Colorado this week.

10. California (4-4, 1-4, Last: 11) Cal was idle last week. They host WSU this week. 11. Arizona (4-5, 2-4, Last: 10) Arizona dropped their fourth straight game, falling 56-38 to Oregon State. Despite racking up 526 total yards, the Wildcats couldn’t overcome the grinding ground attack of the Beavers. U of A takes a bye week. 12. Colorado (3-6, 1-5, Last: 12) Colorado’s disaster of a season continues as they lose 31-14 to UCLA to drop five straight contests. Steven Montez failed to pass for 200 yards, and the Colorado offense couldn’t compile 300 scrimmage yards. Colorado hosts Stanford this week.

can be used for carbonated drinks and transportation fuels. “If we can make limiting climate change profitable, then that’s how we will make the most progress on it,” he said. “If we can make it economically viable to capture CO2 out of the atmosphere, then we can utilize it to benefit other processes.” Gubsch said the equilibrium state of the world would be damaged if global warming continues to increase. Climate change may not directly affect the Palouse the same way it affects coastal areas, but it is still a threat to the planet and all that lives in it, he said. “A lot of these things, while they may not directly affect us now, it’s important that we speak up against it, and we speak up sooner rather than later,” he said. “The sooner we educate ourselves, the sooner we take action, the less damage will be done.” Gubsch said his passion for global climate action began in high school. His physics teacher showed many videos about different types of technology, such as solar roadways and wind farms. Gubsch found them innovative and decided to apply his interest in science and chemistry to climate change, motivating him to pursue chem-

ical engineering. Since his freshman year at WSU, Gubsch said he has been involved in several research projects. He said he helped develop air quality sensors to examine the health effects of wildfire smoke on Spokane residents. He also studied how to convert CO2 into formic acid, which can be used for cattle feed preservatives. Gubsch is a recipient of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Ernest F. Hollings Undergraduate Scholarship. The scholarship allowed him to intern with NOAA last summer at the Hollings Marine Laboratory in South Carolina. He said he examined how climate change affects coral reefs by studying metabolites, which are small molecules involved in the metabolism process. “Approaching [climate change] from different angles through my research has been very rewarding,” Gubsch said. “Now I have the opportunity with the ACS to go and see how things are done on the policy side because I’ve been on the technical side for the past three years.” Aside from his research endeavors, Gubsch has been involved with the Honors

College through various roles. Grant Norton, Honors College dean, said Gubsch serves as a freshman facilitator for Honors 198, helping first-year students transition to college and find their community in WSU. Gubsch was also involved with the college’s Global Leadership Program. “Through those projects and his role as an Honors facilitator, I think he’s seen how he can make a big impact as a leader in the field of the environment,” Norton said. “He’s really had different experiences that I think have prepared him to really become an important voice in some of these issues related to climate change.” Gubsch said he plans to continue his education in the U.K., pursuing a master’s in energy and environmental engineering. He also plans to study international business management to connect his technical expertise with a business background. “Long-term, I’m hoping to become a leader in this field and help be a voice of experience and reason within the area,” he said. “I hope I can provide a nuanced perspective because I have a diverse set of experiences from policy, market and technology side.”

and label them with tags marking what is inside. The bags are hung up outside the library on the fence so anyone walking by can take any items they need. Michelle Hugo, Moscow Public Library assistant, said the clothing drive will continue as long as the cold weather lasts. The church began to hang items up at the library a few weeks ago. “We have needs in this community and the library does get a lot of people who have needs,” she said. This is the fourth year the Unitarian Universalist Church

of the Palouse has held a clothing drive. Allen said last year, about 300 items were donated and given away, which is about 25 items every week. Allen said the goal is to expand the clothing drive to other communities, such as Pullman, Potlatch, Deary and Troy. Right now, Allen is at her limit for resources but if anyone wanted to join the effort she said she would help coordinate a drive for other community members. “We’re meeting people’s needs without them having to come ask for help,” Allen said.

Poverty | Continued from Page 1 services in Idaho and Washington. Additionally, the guide includes a list of programs that provide holiday baskets and dinners for those in need. Two of the groups listed in the resource guide include Food Not Bombs of the Palouse and Rosario’s Place. Henri Sivula, co-founder of Food Not Bombs of the Palouse, said they provide a community meal every Sunday in the basement of First Presbyterian Church in Moscow. The group has fed over 10,000 people after starting the group in April 2018. Women*s Center director Amy Sharp said Rosario’s Place not only has non-perishable items, but also children’s cloth-

ing and diapers. WSU students visit Rosario’s Place at least once, if not multiple times a day. As winter approaches, she said one of the smaller projects Poverty on the Palouse is working on is “suspended coffees”, which would give customers at a cafe an option to pay for an extra cup of coffee that a person in need could claim. Mason said she has been food insecure her whole life. She still visits food banks until this day, and how often she uses it varies depending on the month. She usually gets a Thanksgiving basket around this time of year. Mason said the first time she attended a Poverty on the Palouse meeting was in February

2018. She said he had wondered how many people in poverty were a part of the discussion. “When I got there,” she said, “[it seemed] I was the only one in the room.” One of the things she brought up with the group were issues with transportation services in Moscow. Mason said people who need food the most live in mobile homes, and mobile homes were not a part of the bus route at that time. Not a lot of people in the room were aware of that, she said. The bus used to not run on Saturdays, Mason said, which is the same day as the Moscow Farmers Market. One of the groups present at the market

was Backyard Harvest, and they usually accept food stamps. A lot of people could have benefitted from it if the buses operated at that time, she said. “None of them had realized that, because they never lived in a world where transportation was an issue,” Mason said. SmartTransit updated its new service hours in August 2018, and the bus also started operating on Saturdays. Mason said one of the biggest misconceptions about people in poverty is that they do not want to do better or that they take money out of the pockets of people who are working. “There seems to be a wall — a shaming wall,” she said. “I wish that would go away.”

Sivula said although Food Not Bombs of the Palouse has a lot of volunteers who get the dayto-day operations done, it does not necessarily fight the systemic challenges surrounding food insecurity. They said one of the biggest stigmas for marginalized groups — including those who are food insecure — is that they deserve to be treated poorly. “It’s a f*cking bite to eat,” Sivula said. “If we can’t even start there, how are we gonna do anything else?” Mason said there should be pride in getting support. “Somebody receiving help, in my opinion, shouldn’t be made to feel like they need to go to the backdoor,” she said.

Climate | Cont. from Page 4 These changes have adversely affected the Earth and it is high time we do something to control it. What is done cannot be undone, we can make efforts to not let it worsen. Meddens said reducing greenhouse gases can help prevent adverse changes in temperature. “We can sequester the carbon as well by planting trees,” he said. While all these things are easily said, doing them is difficult. It is essential to take the first step instead of just talking about it. “It’s very difficult to capture CO2 that has been emitted and engineers are working on it, it is called carbon capture and also sequestration,” Walden said. “The idea behind this is that the power plants that are burning coal or natural gas, they emit a lot of CO2, so the idea is to capture CO2 at the power plant so that it does not go to the atmosphere.” There are numerous ways to control climate change, some are economical, some are noneconomical, still requiring further research. Currently, it is best to move toward the economical solutions and start with the first step, otherwise Roland Emmerich’s 2012 will become a reality and Earth will reach its expiration date.

Everyone should register to vote in local elections Smaller elections have largest effect on everyday life By Elena Perry Evergreen columnist

Voting is essential to the function of democracy. It is how we give our consent as citizens to be governed by candidates we support. As college students, most of us are just dipping our toes into the world of adulthood, and one crucial rite of passage we all should undertake when we turn 18, if able, is registering to vote. Voting in elections, both local and on a larger scale, requires registration. In an increasingly digital world, registering to vote is easier than ever. Voters can register at Washington’s Secretary of State website. On this same website, students can change their mailing address to have their ballot sent right to their dorm. On this website, students can change their place of residence as well. This determines which elections they will be participating in. Students can decide if they want to vote in elections in their hometown or in Pullman. ASWSU President Quinton Berkompas said he changed his address so that he votes in Pullman elections because he feels they will affect him the most. “We spend eight months out of the year [in Pullman],” Berkompas said. “When you go to college you want to build a place that feels like home, and the civic responsibility of voting is a part of what you should attach to your home.”

LAUREN PETTIT | DAILY EVERGREEN ILLUSTRATION

Even though local elections may not feel as important as larger ones, they’re the ones that have the most direct impact on the voter ’s life. Most involved voters can probably identify the importance of voting for candidates in presidential or congressional elections, but one often overlooked aspect of voting is the participation in local elections. Local elections usually consist of voting for officials and laws in your county, city or town. They’re often overshadowed national elections. However, local officials’ decisions often impact people more directly than those of the president or members of congress, so local elections should be taken with the same seriousness. “Our city council writes a lot of laws that directly affect us as WSU students,” Berkompas said. “[Participating in local elections is] really going to be the difference in the rules that guide our experience living in Pullman and as students at WSU.”

ASWSU and other on-campus entities are encouraging student participation in this election cycle. “We go class to class to inform students about civic responsibility and duty that we have as citizens here,” said ASWSU Vice President Jhordin Prescott. WSU is a voter-friendly campus, meaning it’s easy for students to vote, even students living on campus. Ballots can be mailed out for free at several locations on campus and in Pullman. There is a ballot drop box located by the front doors of the CUB, but students can also seal their ballots and mail them right at the front desk of residence halls. Cougs Vote, through the Center for Civic Engagement, also plays a role in registering students to vote. In 2018 during the midterm elections, they reg-

istered 2,500 students to vote. If possible, everyone should register to vote. It’s relatively simple and quick, and it’s important for local and national elections. “[Voting is] our one responsibility as citizens,” Prescott said. “I truly believe it makes a difference every time you go out and vote.” Want to vote in Whitman County? Today is the last day to vote. Washington allows same day registration, so voters can register and vote today until 8 p.m. at city hall, the Whitman County auditor’s office or the county courthouse in Colfax.

the publicized cross-party debate on Oct. 22. “I think overall ... that was one of the best debates we’ve hosted within recent years, because it was well-organized, because we knew what we were talking about, because we were engaged,” said Geordy Bryant Greene, senior political science major and chairman of the WSU GOP, who argued alongside Elliott in the campus debate. This speaks to the ability of rational debate to bring people together who might otherwise never see or speak to each other. Republicans and Democrats, liberals and conservatives, both sometimes suffer from the notion of entrenched tribalism. “[Public debate] is a much more approachable and accessible way for other students to learn more about issues,” Martian said. This speaks to the ability of rational debate to bring people together who might otherwise never see or speak to each other. Republicans and Democrats, liberals and conservatives, both sometimes suffer from the notion of entrenched tribalism. However, informed conversations help break down the barrier between parties and

spark conversation. “We just want to have a conversation ... who knows, I might learn something from you, you might learn something from me, but we’ll never know until we have that conversation, and I feel like kids right now ... have a hard time talking about politics without that conversation getting escalated,” Greene said. “We have to be civil, we have to keep other people’s views and opinions in mind, but we still have to speak our mind and speak our viewpoints as well.” More public debates are in the works, according to Greene and other political campus leaders. This will allow students and faculty to observe the benefits of informed debate and hopefully will influence students who enjoy public speaking and argument to consider lobbying for a WSU debate team. The school would benefit from a highly-polished debate team and the students would benefit from intelligent arguments. WSU needs a debate team, and we need smart, motivated debaters to run it.
