Powell urges #readstudytravel A llie C rome acrome@esubulle tin.com

Kevin Powell, political activist and author, challenged the audience to #readstudytravel to expand their worldviews and create change within their communities during the 2018 MLK Lecture last Friday in the Skyline room. Powell was this year’s featured lecturer, sponsored by the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, as the culminating event of the MLK week celebrations.

Throughout the lecture,

Powell spoke about the importance of understanding history, education and fighting ignorance and violence, as well as continuing the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. “How are we going to say that we have accomplished great change in America when you see that a lot of behavior that exists around racism and sexism and homophobia and transphobia and ableism and religious hate and classism stems from not just ignorance,” Powell said. “But there’s something that some of us call

enthusiastic ignorance, where we’re not just ignorant we’re proud to be ignorant.”

Powell called for people to reconsider those behaviors and actions and to fight against ignorance and misinformation.

According to Powell, people have a responsibility to know basic facts and avoid fake news, no matter their political, religious, or other beliefs.

“Everyone in this room has some sort of prejudice, some sort of bigotry, some sort of fear or stereotypes about other people inside

them,” Powell said. “Are you serious about being part of the solution in this country? Or you do want to perpetuate the problems in this country?”

According to Powell, #readstudytravel is one of the ways to break down prejudice and to choose love over hate.

“We don’t read, study, travel and that’s why people are choosing hate instead of love, choosing violence instead of peace and choosing fear instead of compassion,” Powell said.

Theater instructor teaches workshop in China M egan S heckells msheckells@esubulle tin.com

Over break, Emporia State sent Robert Hart, theater instructor, to Zheijiang Normal University in Jinhua, China to teach drama and theater classes from Dec. 28, 2017 - Jan. 12, 2018.

“This was kind of a testing the waters, they wanted somebody to go over first and teach a few introductory classes and kind of network,” Hart said.

“And see if there were students who were interested in

coming over here in the fall.”

Robert Hart taught four different classes all relating to the theater. He taught Introduction to American Theatre, Professions in Western Theatre, American Musical Theatre and Introduction to Western Acting Techniques.

“We have a program started, we’re trying to get our first group of students for theater,” said Mark Daly, dean of in-

Police Reports ASG holds first meeting of the semester

Associated Student Government held their first meeting of the spring semester last Thursday in the Senate Chambers in the Memorial Union.

“We have much to look for-

ward to this upcoming semester,” said Megan McReynolds, ASG president and junior political science major. “In case you didn’t know, we actually have our informal meeting for elections coming up.”

This was the 98th session of

ASG. “Additionally, we have allocations coming up this semester,” McReynolds said.

“We actually have elections in the first full week of March, so that’s coming up right around the corner. We have our town

hall meetings to get some feedback from students still, as well as our What Do You Want Wednesdays.”

McReynolds also discussed the next step for the proposed changes to the non-activity week, which will be shown at the academic affairs committee next week.

“Our second session of All Things RSO is coming up a week from today on Feb. 1 from 5 to 6 p.m.,” said Sawyer Barragan junior, chief of staff and junior Spanish major. “What we did last time was have all the senators introduce themselves, and then hang around afterwards for questions.”

ASG also discussed budgeting of allocations for RSOs, as well as ASG budget and what has been spent. Additionally, they discussed the name change of Black Writers Club to Black Artists Club.

“Emporia State University will celebrate the 155th anniversary of its founding, February 17, 1863 on February 16, 2018,” said Michael Webb, senator and senior business administration major. “The Associated Student Government of Emporia State recognizes the past and present achievements of Emporia State University.”

ESU theater group participates in KCACTF in Des Moines M ackenzie T hornton mthornton@esubulle tin.com

Emporia State’s theater program attended The Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival January 21-27. The troupe traveled to Des Moines, Iowa and represented all aspects of the theater.

ESU won the spirit award for stage crew showdown for the second year in a row.

“We go all out,” said Andrew Ralston, junior theater major. “We make lots of noise and have a good time putting our stingers up.”

During the event, ESU’s Irene Ryan nominees performed scenes for competition. The Pantomime and Non-Traditional Theatre Society also contributed to the devised theater section of the festival.

“I always operate under the idea that there is always room for improvement,” said Cassidy Tilden, senior English and theater major. “In the theater industry, you can always improve and become a better designer, performer,

director, writer or whatever it is your specific area is.”

This particular theater festival is a combination of many university theater programs that are invited to perform various acts and performances to compete for awards.

“In every show Emporia does during the school year, we get a respondent who comes from a different school to see our show,” said Ralson. “They give feedback to the company of their outside perspective of the performance. The respondent then discusses with the director and they select two actors to compete for a scholarship started by the great actress Irene Ryan at the KCACTF.” Other individuals can vie for the chance to win a competition such as costume designers and playwrights, according to the KCACTF Region 5 online blog.

ESU will be putting on two seperate productions, “He and She” and “Arsenic and Old Lace” during the upcoming theater season.

Chris Lohkamp, technical director for the Theater Department, and Tyler Lang, senior theater major, hold up a spirit award for stage crew showdown, a sportsmanship award. “@esuPres We won the spirit award at KCACTF region 5 for the second year in a row!” tweeted Abbi Timmermeyer, senior theater major, with the above picture.

“I thought his message was really great, I like that he talked about educating yourself and traveling, reading and learning more about your history and other people,” Moffett said.

Powell also called attention to the ‘I Have A Dream’ speech, using it as a challenge for those in the audience.

“In that same speech, he’s giving us instructions,” Powell said. “Actually do something in the community, for people who need to be loved and reeducated so they’re not participating in hatred, fear, division and violence.”

“It’s made me realize that everything we go through… we always come together to fight for that

common goal,” said Calandra Matoushaya, freshman biochemistry major.

“By shying away from the situation and trying to act like it doesn’t affect me, or that I don’t know the background, that’s not my history. You’re becoming a bystander in something that could impact so many people’s lives and change everything.”

Freshman starts ESU introduces new design collective feminist club S arah S poon

sspoon@esubulle tin.com

When Chieko Zimmerman, freshman elementary education major, began her time at Emporia State, she noticed a lack of feminist groups on campus. Empowered by her previous feminist experiences, she decided to begin the group I Am That Girl.

I Am That Girl concentrates mainly on creating an environment or group for girls to come together and have the vulnerable conversation,” Zimmerman said. “What the vulnerable conversation is supposed to do is promote positivity in the girls and confidence which then allows them to go out in the community, be involved, more confident and prepared to make a difference.”

Zimmerman is president of the group which currently has seven members.

“I am incredibly proud of the initiative and persistence of Ms. Zimerman in getting the organization off of the ground,” said Melissa Reed, adviser of I Am That Girl and associate professor of elementary education, early childhood and special education.

Zimmerman is working on a service project Feb. 10 in Topeka.

“In Uganda, the girls that go to school there aren’t able to go to school for a week because they don’t have any feminine hygiene products during their periods,” Zimmerman said. “We’ve partnered with someone here who goes to Uganda and we’re making sanitary pads so girls can go to school all month.”

According to the I Am That Girl Facebook page, the organization tries to counteract the perceptions of girls in the media by lifting girls up, instead of contributing to breaking them down.

“The title kind of put me off at first,” Zimmerman said. “I was like, ‘Why are we saying ‘girl’? Why not woman?’ The more I thought about it and the more I looked into it, I saw the power in it. There’s such a stigma about it (being a girl). It’s hit like a girl, fight like a girl, run like a girl. It’s usually negative. I thought it was really powerful to say ‘I am that girl. Yes, that is powerful and I want to be that.’”

Zimmerman is working on creating a constitution, establishing biweekly meetings and becoming a Registered Student Organization.

A new student design collective called Studio E that will design websites, logos and provide other marketing and media services for clients began work this semester. The collective is made of students in the English, graphic design and business departments.

“We’re trying to turn a lot of the skills they’ve learned here

into marketable skills or give them some real world experience working for clients,” said Rosalie Krenger, general manager of Studio E and director of the Doland Reichardt Center for Publishing and Literary Arts.

The collective has one client so far, St. Mary’s Food Kitchen, which is a nonprofit organization, according to Krenger. Because the client is a nonprofit,

Studio E is offering their services pro-bono.

“This semester, especially since we are just sort of building our client base, we’re focusing primarily on nonprofits, but we do have a couple people who might be commercial clients next semester,” Krenger said.

When they begin offering their services for money, the funds will go toward finishing the Studio E office space and getting more resources for the interns who work there, according to Krenger. They want to purchase graphic tables, a designated camera and some funds will go toward travelling to meet clients.

“When we start making more than we need to cover our basic expenses and equipment, then I imagine that most of that will go back into the University, and someday we may even be able to hire a student worker or two,” Krenger said. “I’d like to stress that that’s all a ways off though.”

The interns who are currently working for the firm were hand picked by instructors in their respective departments, according to Krenger.

However, they are currently looking for more students who are interested in marketing.

“Right now the only people that are offering credit for it are the graphic design department and the English department, so it’s sort of an instructor permission thing,” Krenger said.

Outgoing governor decries underfunding of Kansas facilities

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Outgoing Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback says the state’s prisons, hospitals and other facilities are in disrepair after years of underfunding.

Brownback, who was stepping down Wednesday to become U.S. ambassador-atlarge for international religious freedom, raised concerns last week after the State Finance Council approved a 20-year, $360 million building project at Lansing Correctional Facility, The Kansas City Star reports.

“Getting this new prison built is a big deal,” Brownback, who became governor in 2011, told reporters. “We’ve got a series of state assets that have been underfunded for years.”

The state’s psychiatric facility in Osawatomie just regained its federal Medicare certification last month after a nearly two-year process that required the state to make a slew of updates. Brownback described it as a “pit” and said that a state hospital and training center for the developmentally disabled

in Parsons is “worse.”

Brownback pushed back on the suggestion that he had responsibility for the underfunding.

“For 155 years? No,” said Brownback. Kansas marked its 157th year of statehood Monday.

Pressed again on the fact that he had been governor for seven years, Brownback replied, “And we got a new prison, didn’t we?”

State Sen. Laura Kelly, a Topeka Democrat running for governor, and others repeatedly pointed to Brownback’s tax cuts, which the Legislature rescinded last year in the face of a budget hole, as the reason the state could not keep up facilities. She called Brownback’s comments “insulting to our staff who work in those facilities . under some dire conditions.”

State Sen. Carolyn McGinn, a Sedgwick Republican who chairs the Senate budget committee, noted that Brownback’s budget recommenda-

tions for the state hospitals for both the current and previous budget years was tens of millions of dollars less than the hospitals had requested.

“We need to look at repairing what will last for the next 50 years, tear down what won’t and invest in new facilities if needed,” McGinn said in an email.

Robert Choromanski, the executive director of the Kansas Organization of State Employees, the union that represents state workers, said Brownback is “obviously responsible” and “obviously let those facilities deteriorate.”

Before taking the oath of office, incoming Gov. Jeff Colyer issued a statement through his spokesman that he “believes that it is time to make smart investments in our infrastructure.”

“But, like most things, it matters more how you spend the money than the total dollars spent,” said Kendall Marr, a spokesman for Colyer.

What we can learn from “The Post”

“The Post,” which premiered in theaters across the nation on Jan. 12, tells the story of how “The Washington Post” tries to catch up with “The New York Times” in exposing the government coverups found in the Pentagon Papers.

The more than 4,000 pages of the Pentagon Papers revealed many governmental misconducts, including the fact that the U.S. Government knew we could not win the Vietnam War, but pushed ahead because it would be an embarrassment not to.

The story focuses on Katharine Graham (Meryl Streep), the first female publisher of The Washington Post and Ben Bradlee (Tom Hanks) the editorin-chief as they risk everything to print the truth.

The Bulletin does not generally make a habit out of recommending movies

in their staff ed. Staff ed’s are generally reserved as a place to discuss issues of the utmost importance, such as the constitution, our rights as U.S. citizens and issues of injustice.

But that’s how important “The Post” is to our society right now.

“The Post” tells the story, that needs to be told, about why the press and the government can’t be friends.

“The Post” shows how important the press’ role is in making sure the government doesn’t cover things up or hide controversy.

The American public needs to know these things and it is the press’ role to make sure that the government remains public and transparent.

In “The Post,” this group of people risks going to prison, ruining the company and ruining their entire reputations to

do what they feel is right, which is to hold the government accountable.

We do our best, every day, to hold the university accountable and watch how they use our tuition dollars, the same way local newspapers watch local governments and national newspapers watch national governments with tax dollars.

Holding administration accountable means printing the good and the bad, not just what people want to hear.

So long, Brownback

A llie C rome acrome@esubulle tin.com

Brownback resigned as governor yesterday. The resignation freed Kansas from his clutches, putting an end to the seven year long battle against economic, education system and human rights that he spearheaded.

Under him, Kansas cut income taxes and attempted trickle-down economics, which crippled the state’s economy.

He stripped back rights for LGBTQ state employees.

His budget cuts forced the brutal downsizing of government programs. He forced public education to bear the bulk of the cuts, taking $50 million away from their budget one year, and then wondered why the schools were

underperforming.

He attempted to add millions back to the education budget, but never proposed any tax increases or offered any plans for where the money would come from.

So we should celebrate that he’s gone, right?

Yes, but not for long.

Brownback was sworn as the ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom.

The position has had a history of Christian appointees, but the U.S. really hit the jackpot with this one.

Brownback, a conservative Catholic, has shown through his policies that he has a very narrow view of religious freedom.

Namely, that it most likely will not apply to those with different beliefs than him.

In 2016, he withdrew Kansas from the federal refugee resettlement program, affecting the lives of Syrian refugees fleeing from civil war.

In 2006, he blocked the confirmation vote on federal appeals court nominee, Janet Neff, solely on the basis that she had attended a same-sex com-

mitment ceremony in 2002.

In 2015, he rescinded protections for LGBTQ state workers.

I have no faith that Brownback will change his ideology and decide that his version of religious freedom will include Muslims, LGBTQ people or anyone of differing beliefs.

None of his actions in legislature have even hinted at that being a possibility.

Yeah, I’m glad that the homophobic conservative governor who almost destroyed the Kansas economy and education system is gone.

Things are not so easily fixed, however.

It’s up to us as Kansans and voters to ensure that the next governor will not do what Brownback did to Kansas.

And it’s up to us, that no matter the policies or beliefs that he, and the rest of the Trump administration, try to enforce can’t harm those around us.

Stand up for your neighbors, even if they believe differently than you. Consider their rights as important as yours.

Don’t let Kansas history repeat itself.

New Year? Discipline or Motivation?

R oyell B owleg rbowleg@esubulle tin.com

So, it happened…again.

You know, the start of the New Year where everyone is all happy and expectant that the lives they lived a mere second before the clock struck 12 that fateful Jan. 1 morning, would simply disappear and be better.

Resolutions were made, many were inspired and even seriously motivated to begin a new chapter.

However, that is long gone.

We are one month into the year, and as we all know, only a few loyal soldiers last past that New Year motivation and enthused energy to achieve their original New Year goals through the rest of the year.

Why? It is because we rely too often on motivation.

Motivation is nothing more than a feeling.

Feelings come and go just as easily as the ebbs and flow of water along a coast.

Motivation is an emotion of desire to become or achieve something we currently aren’t or don’t have. And it is

often feeble and dwindles throughout the year, possibly just as quickly within the first few days or weeks of the year.

So how can we persist in our personal, academic, and or professional pursuits without getting gobbled up by the procrastinator monster?

A frenemy of ours who convinces us that ‘tomorrow would be the day I start but for right now enjoy binge watching “Stranger Things,” or aimlessly surfing Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook’.

If you wish to fulfill anything, seek first the art of discipline and place motivation on the back burner.

Every day won’t be a day you will wake up motivated to, let’s say, conquer the world. But every day you can wake up to discipline.

Setting aside a time and place each day to get things done is essential, even if that only involves 15 minutes. Sometimes you must crawl in order to learn how to walk.

It is just the third week of classes for the spring semester, so if you currently see yourself falling into the traps of the procrastinator monster, defeat him with a strong tactic of discipline.

Ultimately, success is a choice and little decisions to put in the work for an even greater outcome are important, because successful people are not born but made.

Durante la lectura, Powell habló sobre la importancia de entender historia, educación y de luchar contra la ignorancia y la violencia, mientras siguiendo la legacia de Martin Luther King Jr. “¿Como vas a decir que hemos hecho gran cambio en América cuando ves que muchas acciones que existen alrededor de racismo y sexismo y homophobia y transphobia y odio religioso vienen de la ignorancia?”, dijo Powell. “Pero hay algo que se llama ignorancia entusiasmada, donde no solo somos ignorante, pero somos orgullosos por ser ignorante”.

Powell le pidió a la

gente que reconsiderada esas acciones para pelear contra la ignorancia y la mal informacion.

“Todos en este cuarto tienen un tipo de prejuicio, un tipo de intolerancia, un tipo de miedo o estereotipos de otra gente dentro de ellos”, dijo Powell. “¿Estas serio de ser parte de la solución en este país? ¿O quieres causar los problemas en este país? ¿Quieres construir un puente, o quieres ser el que destruye el puente?”

Según Powell, #readstudytravel es una de las maneras de terminar el prejuicio y de escoger el amor en vez del odio.

“No leemos, estudiamos y viajamos y por eso la gente escoge el odio en vez del amor, escoge la violencia en vez de la paz y escoge el miedo en vez de la compasión”, dijo Powell. “Y si no leemos, estudiamos y viajamos, estamos condenados como una sociedad".

Megan Moffett, que estaba visitando Emporia y atendió la lectura, estuvo de acuerdo con Powell.

“Pense que este mensaje era muy bueno, y me gusto que hablo de educarnos y viajar, leer y aprender más sobre nuestra historia y otra gente”, dijo Moffett.

Powell también llamó la atención a la obra de ‘I Have a Dream’, para usar como un reto a la audiencia.

“En esa misma obra, el nos da instrucciones”, dijo Powell. “Regresa a Alabama, regresa a Mississippi, regresa de donde eres, regresa a Kansas y no atiendas a un programa del Dr. King una vez al año, realmente haz algo en tu comunidad, para la gente que necesita ser amada y educada de nuevo para que no participen en odio, miedo, division y violencia”.

“Me ha ayudado realizar que todo por lo que pasamos… siempre nos unimos para luchar para esa misma meta”, dijo Calandra Matoushaya, estudiante de primer año en bioquímica.

“Alejandonos de la situación y tratando de actuar como si no nos afecta, o que no sabemos, no es mi historia, nos convertimos en transeúntes en algo que puede impactar la vida de bastantes y cambiar todo”.

“Lo que tenemos que hacer, tenemos que conocernos nosotros mismos y tenemos que practicar el amor, si no nos convertimos en hipócritas que celebran al Dr. King cada año”, dijo Powell.

HORNET OF THE WEEK

English students create course for Honors Conference R ayna K arst rkarst@esubulle tin.com

Three English majors at Emporia State inspired by their passion for the study of literature have created a class for themselves this semester called Honors Research in YA Fantasy.

In this class, the students are analyzing a young adult book series called “A Court of Thorns and Roses,” with goals of presenting their findings at the Great Plains Honors Conference, creating a poster for the conference and writing a scholarly paper.

“If you’re a student here, the really cool thing that a lot of people don’t understand is that you have the power to create cool projects and you have the ability to work with faculty one-on-one, because that is something really unique to Emporia State,” said Camille Abdel-Jawad, a student in the class and senior English major. “We’re really lucky to attend ESU and to get those kinds of opportunities to work together on a collaborative project and do things that are really interesting to us, and get credit for it.”

The students are taking the course as a Faculty Men-

They are advised by Kevin Kienholz, professor of English, Cynthia Patton, associate professor of English and Gary Wyatt, director of the Honors College.

“We’ve been working re-

ally closely with them to develop this, but the ideas are all us,” Abdel-Jawad said.

Caylie Ratzlaff, student in the class and junior secondary education social science and English major, said that she first recommended the book series to her fellow classmates because it con-

Their semifinals competition is also in March, but will be held in Mexico City, Mexico.

The idea for their project was based around solar energy as well, but planned on utilizing the empty desert regions in Africa and Europe to power developing countries.

“The basic concept was to try and get the world off of coal and fossil fuel dependency on electricity and move towards renewable energy,” Rodgers said.

They wanted to work with developing countries because they have a higher need for

English majors, we thought ‘why don’t we try to get English credit for it?’”

Kevin Rabas, chair of the English, modern languages and journalism department, approved the course for two hours of credit, according to Ratzlaff.

Each student is focusing on one theme throughout the series, Ratzlaff said. She is focusing on themes of sex, sexuality and intimacy in the series, Abdel-Jawad on mental illness and Katie Dold, the third member of the course and senior English major, on pieces or parts of fairy tales that she finds in the series.

“We are able to apply all the things we have learned in classes and take it and put it specifically into this class, and that is really cool,” Dold said.

The class formally meets once a week to discuss and develop new ideas that they discover during the week, said Abdel-Jaward.

“We get really excited about discussing these things and fleshing them out because, as we all love literature, it’s basically just a conversation about literature for 50 minutes once a week,” Abdel-Jaward said. “That’s amazing, and that’s something we love.” renewable energy, Sasidhar said.

Amir Ammar, Hult prize campus director, attributes the success of Emporia’s competition and the two teams to President Allison Garrett, the Office of International Education, Ed Bashaw, dean of the business school and Cory Falldine, associate vice president for information technology.

“They believed in this idea, that it will succeed,” Ammar said.

The trip for the first place team to attend the Boston semifinals is paid for by the university.

However, because they didn’t originally plan on a second team reaching semifinals, the second place team is lacking funding.

For the students on the second place team to compete, it will be approximately $2,000.

Ammar and the team are attempting to gather the funds in order for them to attend the competition.

Spanish honors society reactivated, plan to fundraise for Guatemala trip A llie C rome acrome@esubulle tin.com

Delta Theta, which is ESU’s recently reactivated chapter of the national Spanish honors society Sigma Delta Pi, is fundraising for the summer Guatemala study abroad trip.

“We’re going to try and raise as much as possible,” said Vanessa Aguilar, secretary and graduate English student.

The chapter was reactivated last semester through the national organization and inducted 12 members, according to Aguilar. They have plans for a spring induction and will start tabling soon to recruit potential members.

To be a member, students must have taken Spanish I, II and III and have a G.P.A. of at least 3.0, according to Aguilar.

Since Spanish Club is an official RSO, Sigma Delta Pi is partnering with them in order to gain potential members and to raise money, according to Linsey Albee, the webmaster and the publicity and social media coordinator and junior spanish major.

The fundraising for the Guatemala trip will be a joint effort between the two organizations, according to Aguilar.

They plan on working with Butter Braid, a frozen pastry fundraising group, to help raise money, according to Albee. “(How much money they need) also depends on how many students are going,” Aguilar said.

In order for the Guatemala trip to occur, there needs to be a minimum of 13 students going, according to the Spanish Club website. There are several scholarships available to students interested, through Sigma Delta Pi. The deadline for financial aid from the spanish honor society is tonight.

“We’re still in the beginning process and hopefully by the middle of the semester we’ll start really working,” Vanessa Aguilar, secretary for Sigma Delta Pi and graduate English student, talks about the reactivation of the Aguilar said.

Those interested in more Spanish Honors Fraternity and the funding for a trip to Guatemala Tuesday in the William Allen White Library.

The trip for Guatemala needs at least 10 people for it to be approved. Gabriel Molina Maruda | The Bulletin information about the chapter, Spanish Club and the Guatemala trip can visit spanishesu.wordpress.com.

“And (Professor) Hart went over there, over Christmas break and taught an intensive class with them to try to get to know them a little better and give them a better idea of what ESU is like through being with him in a classroom.”

ESU is still waiting to receive feedback on student opinions and interest in these types of courses, as well as the potential of studying internationally at the theater department of ESU. “The long-term goal is they would like to develop a two plus two program with this university in China,” Hart said. “Where they would send their students here for two years

and then they’d spend two years there and end up with an international degree.”

ESU has already developed this type of program with Zheijiang Normal University involving the music program, however the work being done to involve students from the theatre department is still in the earlier stages, according to Daly.

“At Emporia State we see the possibility of bringing in more international students to be a big benefit,” said Jim Bartruff, director and theater professor. “For not only the number of students at the university but for providing our students from the United States, Kansas, and from the region, an opportunity to learn about other cultures.”

Around 50 people gathered Tuesday in the Trusler Business Center, 719 Commercial, for an Airbnb information night and panel discussion hosted by the Convention and Visitors Bureau, held to inform community members about being Airbnb hosts.

More hosts in town would provide more lodging for the influx of people who come in to town for events such as the Dirty Kanza and the Glass Blown Open disc golf tournament.

“First year we had 34 riders, and now this year we’ll be bringing in about 2,570 participants between all of the events that we have going on that weekend, and that’s just the riders themselves,” said LeLan Dains, Dirty Kanza promotions operations manager. “A lot of those folks do need a place to stay, and at any given time there’s only about 800 hotel beds in town.”

Airbnb is an online home-sharing platform that allows people to book overnight accommodations in

other people’s homes, or list their own homes for others to book for overnight stays.

“Our goal here is to get them (athletes) to come year round and do those sports, not just for those events,” said Susan Rathke, director of the Emporia Convention and Visitors Bureau. “The more overnight business Emporia gets, the better.”

Five panelists who have stayed at other Airbnbs or list their own homes on the site shared their experience and fielded questions at the discussion.

Nancy Catron, panelist and Emporia community member who has been hosting Airbnb guests for five years, said that she has guests year round for reasons aside from the DK and GBO. “I already have someone who wants to stay for (ESU) graduation,” Catron said.

“We’ve had whole families that come for graduation.”

When a person is an Airbnb host, they are able to set their own price per night to rent out either their entire house or specific rooms in the house, according to Brad Cochennet, pan-

elist and owner of the Gufler Mansion. Airbnb takes 3 percent from that price for using their services.

“Airbnb has a pricing calculator that you can utilize,” Cochennet said.

“Think independently and use the calculator to make sure you’re pricing appropriately.”

Airbnb also collects a transient guest tax when consumers use Airbnb to book a room, and when Emporia community members sign up to be hosts, that guest tax is given back to the city, according to Rathke. Emporia tourism is funded by this transient guest tax.

“That’s what makes it possible for us to produce brochures and promote Emporia with our advertising and our marketing efforts,” Rathke said. “We have the privilege, the honor, the wonderfulness of getting transient guest tax from Airbnbs since Feb. 1 of 2017, so the city is already seeing revenues, and they’ll continue to, and that fund goes to the convention and tourism fund at the city.”

Emporia State’s men and women’s basketball teams hosted Southwest Baptist University last Sunday at home for an exciting night of play. The women, who are 13-5 on the season, added another win over the Lady Bearcats, while the men took a hard loss in double overtime.

SBU took control of the first half of the women’s game, as they scored the first 20 points in the first seven minutes of play. At the end of the first quarter, the score was 26-20 in favor of the Lady Bearcats.

ESU came out strong in the second quarter, scoring

the first eight points of the quarter to take a 28-26 lead.

The Bearcats outscored the Hornets 4-1 in the second quarter, and the teams went into halftime with the scoreboard still in favor of the Bearcats 48-40.

In the second half, after a competitive scoring run from both sides, ESU went on a 14-0 run at the end of the third quarter and the start of the fourth quarter.

The Hornets took a 67-59 lead, shutting down SBU’s offense completely with five minutes left to play. ESU finished play with a 7-0 scoring run and took the competitive 81-67 win.

Tyra Jones both led the team with 23 points each. Wayne contributed 7 rebounds, and Jones added a smooth 13 rebounds.

In the men’s game, ESU jumped to a 7-2 lead in the beginning, but they could not hold on to the lead for long. The Bearcats were up 31-13 with seven minutes left in the first half, and ESU’s offense was not working well.

After halftime, the Hornets scored five quick points and cut the Bearcat lead to single digits. An SBU quick layup increased their lead to 40-30, but ESU responded with four baskets, cutting the 10-point lead to two.

With five minutes left on the regulation clock, ESU led the game 55-51 after a sequence quick shots on a couple SBU turnovers.

SBU went on a run and tied the game at 61 with 19 seconds left to play. ESU’s last effort shot to win was off, and the game was sent to overtime.

Both teams scored back and forth, but the Bearcats were on top with just seconds left to play in the first overtime. The score, 7168, was expected to be the final score, but ESU’s junior guard Brandon Hall chucked a half-court shot that went in at the buzzer, sending the game to double overtime.

ESU scored first in

the second overtime, but Southwest Baptist came with the win due to a series of fast breaks and missed shots from ESU’s offense.

Hall scored 25 points and had six rebounds. Junior forward Hassan Thomas added 16 points, and senior guard Brian Morton scored 14 points. Senior forward Stephaun Limuel contributed with a doubledouble; 11 points and 12 rebounds.

Both teams travel to Kearney, Nebraska this weekend to take on the University of Nebraska at Kearney Lopers. Tipoff is at 3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. for the men’s and women’s teams, respectively.
