The public affairs club will be hosting a protest for students, staff and community members who wish to express their support for Standing Rock from, 1-5 p.m. on Nov. 15, in Union Square on Emporia State’s campus.

“We were going to bring in a speaker, but because of time and distance I don’t know that we’d be able to,” said Murad Jalilov, public affairs club member and senior political science major. “So we decided to do a different kind of event to support it, which is the upcoming protest.”

The #NODAPL protest has become a topic of discussion recently as “tribes, allies and people of all walks of life” are gathering to display their support for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, according to the official Stand with Standing Rock website.

“I feel like he (Trump) can do the best that he can with the office, we just need to keep going forward as a country.”

Other students reported feeling shock over the announcement. “(I have) a lot of mixed feelings,” said Mayra Zepeda, freshman elementary education major. “Of course, like everyone else I’m pretty sure no one wanted either candidate to win, but (are) more surprised that Trump actually won...I was pretty upset about the fact that it happened, and pretty surprised Clinton lost the electoral vote with 228 electoral votes and won the popular vote against Trump as well.” with 59,794,935 votes.

ESU black women sticking to their roots G aby A mparan s pa n i s h e d i t o r

Despite pressures from society and the media, many black women at Emporia State choose to wear their natural hair in order to show their pride in their culture and promote self-confidence. “(Wearing) our hair in its natural state is a sign of activism because we’re going against society’s expectations,” said Ceanna Trice, junior

organizational communications major. “I’m actively loving me and letting my hair do what it wants to do and I don’t care how (others) feel about it.”

Trice claims that there is no need to try to fit in by straightening or curling her hair, as it is naturally kinky.

“Straightening damages your hair and isn’t your natural you,” Trice said.

Trice has also stopped getting perms since her sophomore year in high school,

as it is dangerous to her hair.

Some popular products to keep dry, kinky hair moisturized include Cantu, Shea Moisture and Curls Unleashed, according to Trice.

Students Kristian Gilmore, freshman elementary education major, and Tria Brown, sophomore communications major, agree with Trice, as they also choose to wear their natural hair to connect with their culture and display their pride.

“It’s part of who I am… It’s my identity,” Brown said. “I never use chemicals in my hair, it is always in it’s natural state.”

As a child, Brown’s mother conditioned her hair regularly.

“Growing up, it’s something that was always teased and talked about, but I didn’t let it get me down,” Brown said.

Brown twists and braids her hair to wear it in a variety of ways.

Due to its tight, coily state, black women’s hair is prone to dryness. In order to work with their hair, Gilmore says it’s a good idea to experiment with different conditioning products and try different methods. She

Emporia State IDT students take top honor at the AECT International Convention G aby A mparan s ta f f w r i t e r

Graduate students at Emporia State University in the Instructional Design and Technology (IDT) program Julie La Combe and Milton Knopp recently won the top honor at the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) 2016 International Convention.

The convention was held Oct. 17-21 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“The purpose of the competition is to take out promising instructional design research,” La Combe said. “(Knopp and I) were very well prepared for the competition because of the classes we took at ESU.” La Combe feels professors at ESU provided challenges and very usable information and activities.

“So we are a small university but we have very capable and intelligent professors,” La Combe said.

ESU students, Emporia community members protest Trump’s election S arah S poon editor-in-chief

Around ten Emporia State students and Emporia community members gathered between 2 and 4 p.m. yesterday at Commercial and 12th street to protest the presidential election of Donald Trump.

“He is a threat to our communities of color,” said Jay Vehige, organizer of the protest and junior photography and graphic design major.

“We are standing tall as a collective of Latino, black (and) white folk all together to say ‘no more.’ We do not accept this reality. Donald Trump is not my president.”

Vehige live streamed the entire event on his personal Facebook account.

“If Donald Trump cannot be a president for all of the United States, then he is not a president for me and he will never be a president for me,” Vehige said. “I don’t need a president, what I need is justice, equality (and) dignity for every single person of this nation.”

Glenn Mishler, sophomore psychology major, carried a sign reading “Not My POTUS.” “He’s not really my president,” Mishler said. “There’s so many reasons (to not like Donald Trump). He raped a little girl and all of his scandals. I don’t like Hillary either, and there was nobody to really vote for. We have two

rough candidates and it gives no choice. We have to pick the lesser of two evils.”

Mishler joined the protest to support Vehige’s message because he believes in the same cause.

Vehige was joined by community members who wanted to mobilize.

“We want to show people that you can mobilize and stand up and make your voice heard and it’s up to us, as people...to change the world,” said Joy Lin, Emporia community member. “The election results from last night were not what people wanted to hear, but really, whatever they were going to be, it is time for people to stand up, claim our own country back and quit waiting around for democracy that’s obviously not doing it.”

Jeffrey Hall, senior math major, joined his sister, Joy Lin, in the protest.

“By standing out here, with signs, we’re showing other people that there are other like minded people out here, with the same beliefs, who have the same intentions, who want to come together, unify the people and take back our country,” Hall said.

Vehige organized the protest because of the reactions he saw Tuesday night. “(I organized this) because of the fact that last night, I was talking to some community members of Latino descent

and their children were crying because they didn’t know if they had a place in this... white supremacist America,” Vehige said. “Where minorities can be beaten up at his (Trump’s) rallies,...where women have to fear for their safety now. Where are we going as a country that we can elect somebody who can get away with rape and violence and racist commentary?”

The protest ended with the promise of a continued effort.

“This is kind of the beginning of a whole thing,” said Lin. “It’s just a matter of everyone empowering themselves and saying ‘you know what? If I want world peace, if I don’t want oppression anymore, then I’m going to choose that myself...Will we always be standing here with signs? Not necessarily, but we’ll always be doing something.”

Most importantly, Vehige said, the protesters are here for the children.

“I’m out here for every single child of color in this community, in this state, and in this country to let them know that no matter what anyone says or does, I will fight,” Vehige said. “I will fight with our people in the streets to make sure we have a future that allows you to be here, that allows you to be safe...We deserve better, and beyond us, our children deserve better.”

Remembering John “Doc” Baxter: Four decades of service E mily G iffin s ta f f w r i t e r

Thursday evening, Emporia State University lost one of its own with the death of John “Doc” Baxter, former athletic trainer.

Baxter spent nearly half a century at ESU serving as an athletic trainer, a colleague and a friend to many.

“John was a staple at HPER for many, many years and I know that not many of the current students here knew him, but I know they heard of him,” said Kent Weiser, athletic director.

After his arrival in 1966, Baxter began his legacy, which continues even after his retirement in 2012.

“John was a role model and mentor for everyone he worked with,” said Mark Padfield, former graduate student and president of the Kansas Athletic Trainers Association. “Doc did more for our profession, both in Kansas and out, than many people realize. He was more than just a superlative AT.” Even those who were not afforded the experience of being taught by Baxter recognize the influence he had on the university.

“When I arrived at ESU, Doc had already retired,” said Dustin Englinger, head athletic trainer. “I think his legacy at ESU is spoken by having the athletic training rooms named after him.

This honor for him was well deserved.”

Former colleagues remember Baxter as a devoted member of the university as well as a man with passion.

“He was a teacher and mentor in and out of the classroom.

He pushed students to their limits to help them find out how good they really can be,” said Matthew Howe, associate professor of healthy physical education and recreation.

Baxter did these things because it was just his nature, according to Weiser.

“He is someone that everyone looked up to. That was one of the remarkable things about him was his ability to relate to anyone, even across generations of students and trainers,” Weiser said.

In his time at ESU, Baxter received many awards.

He was also inducted into the ESU Athletics Hall of Honor, Emporia State HPER Hall of Honor, the National Athletic Trainers Association Hall of Fame, the NAIA Hall of Fame and the Kansas Athletic Trainers’ Society Hall of Fame.

“Doc had a heart of gold wrapped in a mile of barbed wire. He was intensely loyal to those that he cared for, and there were very few people that he met that didn’t fit into that category,” Padfield said, “The world is less without him.”

Filharmonic tunes in to campus interest E mily G iffin s ta f f w r i t e r

After being featured on NBC’s “The Sing-Off” and a part of the world finals in “Pitch Perfect 2,” The Filharmonic stopped at Emporia State last Wednesday.

“We did a lot of research to find them, but once we did we knew that they were a group we wanted to try and bring to campus,” said Lisa Foster, Union Activities Council Live Music chair and sophomore business management major.

Filharmonic is comprised of six FilipinoAmerican men who have been singing A Capella together for three years.

“The live music committee brought them in because we thought they would be something that everyone would know since they were on several TV shows and even performed in ‘Pitch Perfect 2,’” Foster said.

The Filharmonic is cur-

rently on their Get Up and Go Tour which began in January and will conclude on Nov 16 in Plant City Florida, according to the Filharmonic official website.

“They got started a couple years before the shows and movie, but a lot of people have been able to recognize them,” Foster said.

In addition to performing their own covers of well-known songs, Filharmonic brought up an audience member during their mash-up of songs from “Magic Mike” during which they sang and danced for her.

“It was nerve racking and amazing. I kept thinking that I couldn’t believe that it was happening,” said Catherin Manry, audience participant and freshman nursing major. “And it was funny because they’re all such sweet guys, and they kept apologizing.”

The fact of the matter is that those of us who were always afraid of a Trump presidency because of possible acts of racism, sexism or homophobia should have already been afraid from the start of this election cycle.

Members of the LGBTQ+ community have already been bullied and beaten down by homophobes and transphobes.

Muslims have already been categorized by many Americans as terrorists. And black people have already been receiving bad treatment from the police force and the justice system that seems to always want to presume people of color as guilty before proven innocent instead of the other way around.

As far as I am concerned, the majority of the American people have already proved what their views are when it comes to those who are considered to be the minority of the American society.

We were all in denial. We were all trying to suppress the inevitable.

So what now?

I have seen a few articles that are telling people to focus on their mental health and to start involving themselves in any groups or organizations that have a mission to help the underprivileged and minorities. Many have already began to educate themselves on the presidential impeachment process, which sounds like a very interesting revolting option.

I agree with all of these things, but everyone should do what may be the hardest thing of all: accept the fact that Donald Trump has been elected the president of the United States. To figure out how to maneuver through this new system.

Now, I am not necessarily saying that you have to accept Trump as your president and I completely understand if you need more time to get to this point, but accepting our reality will ultimately be the first step in combating the perceived oppression that Trump enlists.

Actually go to the Trump website and find his proposals and come to your own conclusions about what is being said.

At the end of the day, stay active in the issues that are occurring everyday in this country and around the world.

Most importantly, stay informed and keep those around you informed.

KBOR Silencing Students

The Kansas Board of Regents would like to have people believe that things are alright here in Kansas, when in reality, they probably don’t even know what the hell is going on.

For anyone who doesn’t know what’s going on, students at Wichita State University wrote a letter to KBOR addressing concerns that they had with the administration.

The letter detailed problems such as the administrators’ views on the funds used for renovation and additions to the interfaith prayer space. It also discussed how the administrators have dealt with issues concerning diversity and inclusion.

You know what KBOR responded back with?

“Talk to your administration.”

Um, what? They’re joking right?

The people that WSU is having the problem with is the administration and KBOR

thinks that just because they responded with that, WSU’s administration is just going to magically cooperate with its student body?

Now, some of you may be like “This doesn’t affect me, this is WSU’s problem, not mine.” Well, can you imagine not picking your own adviser?

What if you were studying science and Emporia State assigned you an adviser from the English department?

How does that work?

How would they know what to sign you up for?

They’re in the English department and you’re studying science.

It’s important for us, as fellow college students, to know this exact same situation could happen here at ESU. KBOR picks presidents for public universities.

along with administering the state’s student financial aid, granting education to adults, setting high school equivalency and determining career and technical education programs.

To shove the letter back in the faces of the WSU students and say “talk to your administration about it,” shows they either don’t care about the student’s wishes, or they don’t want to care because of all the other shit they have to do.

A Cosmopolitan Campus

I an B ain opinion writer

The thought of a college in the Midwest being considered a cosmopolitan may make some roll their eyes.

However, it is undeniable that Emporia State comfortably fits this description.

Emporia is filled with other cultures and races that one doesn’t usually find outside of urban areas.

Despite the large number of foreign students on campus, one often sees people from the same culture hanging out together on campus rather than intermingling with other groups.

This phenomenon is not isolated here.

The school I had transferred to Emporia from was about three times smaller and only had 10 exchange students. None of them were from the same country, yet they all quickly grouped together out of the shared experience of being unfamiliar there. Shared experience,

I believe, is a driving factor but, let’s admit it, domestic students tend to clump together with people from the same, or at least similar, cultures.

These actions can lead to one being more excluded closed off from other groups, for example, our fellow Muslim students.

One reason an Islamic student might be uncomfortable with being around people outside their culture is the general attitudes of people. These attitudes range from nervous openness to flat out hatred.

Is it not understandable that they have a reason to not want to put up with these attitudes that are so prevalent? And if you are an American who has been smothered with paranoia against Muslims since 2001, is it understandable to be wary if you didn’t know better?

Yes. It is.

Excusable? Not really.

Effort should be taken to at least inform yourself rather than be taken to the conclusions that your society guides you.

This scenario should be familiar to you if you are not Muslim: you are walking along on campus, minding your own business, when suddenly you see a woman wearing a hijab. Depending on who you are you either A: Try to act nice, you don’t want

to make them uncomfortable and maybe greet them as you pass. B: Are filled with anger that someone would allow “those (slurs) over here” and think that they should just leave, maybe even glare or at them when you pass. C: Don’t react because it does not matter, and do nothing as you pass.

Notice how none of these reactions consider the woman as an individual person (or in the case of C, at all) that is separate from her culture.

We don’t really look at each other as people but as the culture we supposedly represent. We don’t do that with people in our own cultures because they are the neutral state, and everyone else is an abnormality.

If you want to get involved with your fellow students, you cannot look at them as their culture but as who they are.

They are just as complex as you.

If you are someone who doesn’t care, it’s perfectly fine to be where you are comfortable. Just don’t mistake this familiarness for superiority.

If you actively hate and dislike the foreign and want them to leave, well, Emporia probably isn’t going to be your best fit.

Maybe it’s you who should leave.

What it means to be a Nasty Woman

H annah H aefele opinion writer

During the third and final presidential debate, Donald Trump referred to Hillary Clinton as a “nasty woman,” after she took a jab at his wealth and entitlement as well as his attempt to avoid higher taxes and social security contributions.

This statement was nowhere near surprising to hear from the Republican candidate, but it did create a new term for people to use to describe women.

I know that Trump’s intentions were mean-spirited. But I, like other feminists, move to reclaim the term to be taken as a compliment.

Women across the nation have almost embraced the term and are calling themselves “nasty women.”

In my view, a “nasty woman” is a woman who does the unexpected or goes against society’s expectations. People expected Clinton to say something else about improving the debt issue. People didn’t think that she would run or win the nomination; after all, she is the first female to win the nomination from either major political party.

As of last fall, over 60 percent of students were female, but this was not always the case. Just a few decades ago, women rarely went to school after high school

or went on to have careers. Any of the female students on this campus could be considered “nasty,” because we are doing something that throughout history was almost unheard of.

A “nasty woman” is someone who follows her dreams and is able to do what she loves, even if it doesn’t fit the mold that society has created. Female science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) majors are nasty.

Females who are more careerfocused than family-focused are nasty. Women who want to be leaders, presidential or not, are nasty.

Any woman who does not fit the traditional gender roles expected of them in any way could call themselves “nasty.”

It’s not about whether you are physically nasty, no one wants that. It’s about going against the grain and setting your own standards and making your own plans.

A great example of a “nasty woman” would be my mother.

She has been the primary (if not the sole) breadwinner for my family since before I was born. She managed to find a well-paying career she enjoyed before my father found his. They both agreed that she would work and he would take care of the house and my sister and I when my mom was working.

We all know that Donald Trump makes ridiculous comments, but his term “nasty woman” should be embraced.

Embracing it is not what Trump would expect. As women, especially young women, college allows us to come into our own. We have the chance to build unique futures for ourselves, and the new term of “nasty woman” should help us to realize that we do not have to conform to what society wants.

En aproximadamente una semana, habrá una protesta en el campus de Emporia State para el mismo movimiento. El 15 de noviembre de la 1-5 pm en Union Square, el club de asuntos públicos organizará una protesta para estudiantes, personal y miembros de la comunidad quienes deseen expresar su apoyo a Standing Rock.

Voluntarios de KNEA-SP ayudan a crear kits de instrucción de lectura S alma V illa

s pa n i s h t r a n s l at o r

La Asociación y Programa Estudiantil Nacional de Educación de Kansas en Emporia State se asoció con el Honors College de ESU y la organización local Uniserve para ayudar a crear kits de instrucción de lectura como parte del programa “Leer para tu Conejito” en su reunión del pasado jueves.

“Le da a algunos de estos estudiantes la oportunidad de conseguir un libro y un conejo cuando puede ser que no hubiera tenido la oportunidad,” dijo Paul Reichenberger, presidente de KNEA-SP y estudiante de segundo año es-

pecializando en la educación secundaria.

Los kits de instrucción de lectura contienen un pequeño libro, un conejo de peluche hecho en casa, un imán y varios folletos informativos relacionados con la alfabetización infantil.

Los kits se distribuyen a los nuevos padres en hospitales locales para animar a los padres a leerle a sus bebés 20 minutos cada noche, de acuerdo a Janice Romeiser, miembra de Emporia KNEA y líder del proyecto Leer local para tu conejito.

“Esto es realmente una gran cosa para que la gente participe en la lectura,” dijo Romeiser.

Durante la reunión, estudi-

antes voluntarios de KNEASP y el Honors College trabajaron rellenando a los conejitos hechos en casa para que pudieran ser colocados en los kits y se dispersaron a los nuevos padres.

Hacia el final de la reunión de una hora, 43 conejos estaban llenos y listos para ser puestos en kits.

“Estas mujeres (voluntarias de Leer para tu Conejito) ponen a otros adelante en vez de sí mismas y pasan el tiempo extra ayudando a los niños que nunca han conocido,” dijo Holly Ann Davis, estudiante de último año especializando en la educación primaria.

“Creo que ser parte de eso es una cosa realmente impresionante.”

Durante el programa estudiantil nacional de educación de Kansas, Janice Romeiser, directora del colegio de maestras y organizadora del evento, y Eleanor Browning, co-organizadora del evento y miembra de la liga de votos de mujeres, demuestran los conejitos mientras explican los diferentes útiles que contienen los kits que van a ser donados a infantes locales, el jueves pasado en Visser Hall. “Leer con tu conejito” es un programa que anima a que las madres lean con sus niños para prepararlos para la escuela.

Campus dietician hosts final meeting in nutrition series A lex P rince s ta f f w r i t e r

Hornets interested in affordable healthy food options were invited last Thursday to the final meeting of the nutrition series “Fresh and Frugal: Eating Healthy when Busy and Broke,” lead by Emily Prouse, registered dietician of the Student Wellness Center.

“A lot of them (students) say ‘I want to eat healthy’ but don’t know where to start,“ Prouse said.

The Student Wellness Center gauged student interest through surveys and nutrition was considered a top concern for Hornets, according to Prouse.

“Everyone really wants to learn about health nowadays,” said Anna Ballard, a dietician intern.

Prouse provided packets containing dietary and nutritional advice for students who want to eat healthy on a college budget.

“It’s very informational for those that think that you can’t eat healthy in college,” said Savannah Stephens, senior health promotion major.

The program offered students easy options for on the go snacks.

“One week we had wraps and cut them into pinwheels, and those are an easy snack to bring to class with you,” Ballard said. “It’s all about just planning and budgeting for the right things.”

In a previous session the students and Prouse visited Corky’s Cupboard in the Memorial Union.

“A lot of students aren’t aware of it,” Stephens said. “You could use that also if your budget is tight.”

The event also arranged a prize drawing for those who attended class sessions. The prize consisted of a crockpot, a cutting board, tupperware and cooking utensils, according to Prouse.

A meal, drinks and snacks were provided at the event, consisting of shredded chicken for soft tacos, chicken rice vegetable soup, fruit, greek yogurt and granola bars.

Eleven students turned out for the last meeting, the largest gathering since the series started at the beginning of the semester, though the meal was unique to this meeting.

“I don’t want you to leave this room with a feeling you have to change everything,” Prouse said. “We all have small steps to take to becoming healthier.”

Emily Prouse, dietician for the student wellness center, hosts the last nutrition series event last Thursday in the PKP room in the Memorial Union.

CAASH provides students opportunities for expression E mily G iffin s ta f f w r i t e r

At 4 p.m. every Monday afternoon, the Coalition of Agnostics, Atheists, Secularists and Humanists meets in room 301 of Cram Science Hall.

This week the RSO engaged in planning a trip to Skepticon and discussion as to the demographics of agnostics and atheists in the workplace.

Skepticon is the largest skeptic conference in the nation and is hosted each year in Springfield, Missouri as an educational opportunity for those who are religious skeptics, according to the conference website.

In discussion about tabling in the Memorial Union next week, the group brought up several conversational points which they hoped to address then.

“I think a lot of people get agnostic and atheist mixed up when they’re not the same thing,” said Avery Dorresteyn, CAASH president and sophomore history major. “That and a lot of people don’t know what secularism or humanism is either and we want to help them understand.”

CAASH will be in the Union on Monday to give the university community the opportunity to ask members questions and learn about the club.

The goal of the RSO is to “give Secularists, Agnostics and Atheists a voice on campus, give Secularists, Agnostics, Atheists and Humanists a safe place to gather and work towards increasing acceptance,” and members hope to do that by engaging with students, staff and faculty, according to their #HornetLife homepage.

UMCM travels to conference for service trip N ick W athke s ta f f w r i t e r

Emporia State’s United Methodist Campus Ministry took 19 students to Atlanta, Georgia for the “Imagine What’s Next” Conference, last Friday.

“When I got there, the event seemed rushed,” said Isabella Harvey, junior theatre major. “(The conference was overall) very relaxed and with many opportunities.”

The conference hosted different mission groups focused on civil rights, handing out food packets, learning about refugee experiences and more. “(I) learned a lot about what refugees are going through,” said Henry Weiner, sophomore math education major. “I also got to hear a lot of their personal stories.”

Kurt Cooper, coordinator, said the event focused on students with interest in Christianity and theology. “(I learned) a lot about what you can do with a master’s in divinity,” said Reba Basore, senior business and communications major. “‘Dream, go, do’ (was the motto), and can be applied to many areas outside the church.”

The speakers at the conference provided “a place where people of faith can come together,” said Jason Kuehl, junior accounting major.

During the trip, students visited the Center for Human Civil Rights.

We learned about the civil rights movement and oppression,” Kuehl said.

A Christian band from Southwestern College in Kansas was featured at the conference as well, according to Basore. “(It was) a good opportunity to get away from the distractions of college, catch a breath, and remember what really matters,” Weiner said.

Those students who voted for Clinton hoped she would win. Other students supported Hillary more strongly. “(I was hoping) Hillary would win,” Zepeda said.

“Even though she has done a lot of wrong, she has more political experience than Trump. He has none at all.”

However, those who voted for Trump were happy with the results.

“I think he is better than Clinton,” Cai said. “I didn’t vote, but I like Trump more because Clinton lies and I don’t like that.”

Alicia Zuern, sophomore elementary education major, voted third party.

“I don’t know how to feel about the results, honestly,” Zuern said. “I think it (Trump) was a decent choice...I did vote. I ended up going third party because I couldn’t see myself voting for Trump because I don’t agree with how he goes about things and I definitely don’t like Clinton.”

Other students weren’t concerned with the election outcomes.

“I don’t really keep up with it,” said Dakota Nightingale, junior elementary education major. “I looked at it on my phone but I didn’t vote so I don’t really have a say in what happened.”

ESU professor earns lifetime achievement award for accomplishments in school psychology A lex P rince s ta f f w r i t e r

Emporia State University’s Jim Persinger, chair and director of the psychology department, was awarded the Kansas Association of School Psychologists Lifetime Achievement Award this year for his accomplishments and contributions to the field. He has been a professor at ESU for 16 years.

The KASP annual Lifetime Achievement Award acknowledges life-long efforts in the field of school psychology and the contributions made to the field of education for Kansas children, according to Ashley Enz, the past president of the KASP Executive Board, and former student of Persinger’s.

“Dr. Persinger’s accomplishments in the field of school psychology speak volumes,” Enz said. “From national crisis response training, to obtaining grants that fund programs that promote equality and respect for all.”

Persinger’s achievements include aiding ESU’s school psychology program in attaining national certification. He also created for the program the first mental health proactive and preventative approach to training psychologists to keep children healthy rather than helping them when they

are sick, according to Persinger.

“I more than any other trainer have trained more practicing school psychologists in our state,” Persinger said.

Persinger has also served on every KASP board position in the last twenty years.

Students who have studied under him have been impacted by his mentorship. Senaida Mehmedovic, a graduate school psychology major, was impacted after taking a class with him to change her major to school psychology.

“I couldn’t even begin to imagine the amount of children, students and staff he’s positively impacted,” Mehmedovic said.

During the conference, students who had been trained by Persinger, or impacted by his accomplishments, were asked to stand, according to Enz. “The number of people standing was remarkable,” Enz said. “It was very clear that Jim has had a substantial impact on school psychology and education in Kansas.”

Last year, Persinger was also named a Roe R. Cross distinguished professor, a distinguished honor, according to Persinger.

“When I think of the people who have achieved these awards, they tend to consist of the people who I’ve admired

The state law allowing concealed carry on university campuses was passed in 2013, but “state universities have taken advantage of an allowed exemption until July 1, 2017” in order to prepare for the implementation, according to the Kansas Board of Regents’ article, “Frequently Asked Questions about Concealed Carry on Campus.”

“I asked the senates to go out and ask their constituents what they thought about the law and make sure they were educated about it,” Williams said. “After that I wrote the resolution regarding the law and it was passed during the next senate meeting.”

The resolution comes as a response to a survey regarding the concealed carry policy on campus which was administered to students by KBOR. 56 percent of ESU students are in favor of amending the current law so that guns are not allowed on campus. 16 percent support retaining the current law but extending the exemption past 2017, and 28 percent want to Jim Persinger, department of psychology chair and professor, leads discussion about a study that was watched in his class, assessment of young keep the current law and allow the exemption to expire, accordchildren, on Wednesday.

ASG approves new RSOs on campus R ayna K arst convergence editor

The Emporia State Associated Student Government approved the recognition of two new Registered Student Organizations in their meeting last Thursday, the ESU Print Guild and the Criminal Justice Organization.

The Print Guild wants to be recognized so that they may be

The recognition of the Criminal Justice Organization as an RSO also passed with a vote of 17-0-0.

“There hasn’t been anything at Emporia specifically for crime and delinquency members,” said Ameila Badgett, representative for the Criminal Justice Organization and junior crime and delinquency major.

The ASG voted 17-0-0 to table a reserve fund request for XENOS until the next meeting, due to confusion about whether unused XENOS allocation funds for a regional conference that was not taken could be used to fund a national trip next semester.

During presidential remarks, Williams expressed his excitement for an article published in the Emporia Gazette concerning the passing of the ASG anti-gun resolution.

“I also sent the resolution across other media around campus, so the whole state can know that Emporia State University wants to stay gun free,” Williams said.

Hornets fall to Jayhawks 10462 in last exhibition game

LAWRENCE - Coming off of a 50-point loss to Arkansas in Fayetteville, the Emporia State men’s basketball team headed to Lawrence to face the #3 Kansas Jayhawks in exhibition action last Sunday.

Emporia State shot 10-30 (33 percent) from the field in the first half and just 9-32 (28 percent) in the second half.

Meanwhile, the Jayhawks were 38-62 from the field,

good for a torrid 61 percent in the game.

“I’ve had a chance to watch Coach Self coach in games and practice and I know after watching that Washburn game, they’d come out and play well,” said Shaun Vandiver, ESU head basketball coach. “We handled it for the majority of the game.

They do a phenomenal job of playing high-low basketball.

Guys like Udoka, Carlton, Landon and Coleby, they just go finish. That’s why they are

ranked as high as they are.”

Kansas posted 56 points in the paint opposed to just 16 for ESU. Size was a major factor in the Hornets’ ability to defend around the basket.

“Their bigs just have a knack for high-low ball and they can finish over people,” Shaun Vandiver said.

Junior forward Garin Vandiver, son of Coach Vandiver, scored nine points for the Hornets and was their second leading scorer.

While all nine points came

off of three-point field goals, Vandiver had the chance to defend inside against some of KU’s top post players.

“I just had to battle with them,” Garin Vandiver said.

“I might not have the height, but I’m going to battle and compete. They may get some points but I’m going to try to make it a dogfight.”

Emporia State was able to shoot 37 percent from threepoint range in the first half.

Draining early shots kept the Hornets in the game until a long 44-18 Kansas run closed out the second half.

“We kind of feast and famine off the three. If a couple more fall, they don’t lead to direct baskets for KU,” Shaun Vandiver said.

The Hornets have ground to build on despite the 42-point loss.

“Obviously Friday night didn’t go how we wanted, but in the practice we had (yesterday) we just talked about competing,” said senior guard Jay Temaat.

“Worry about what we’re doing, not so much about what they’re doing. I think for the most part we were able to do that.”

For Kansas head coach Bill Self, his team played a better game against the Hornets than in their first exhibition game against Washburn.

“We were better than the last game. If we were going to play a (bad) game and a pretty decent one, I’m glad it went in the order it did,” Self said.

Overall, the chance to play one of the top Division I teams in the country was one the Hornet players will never forget.

“It was a great experience,” Teemat said. “It’s always tough coming in here to play, but it’s a great chance to get better and a learning experience.”

Freshman forward Duncan Fort was the only Hornet to reach double digit points with 10. Garin Vandiver and Brandon Hall, sophomore guard, both added nine while Temaat chipped in with six.

The Hornets will head to Sioux Falls, South Dakota on Saturday to take on the University of Sioux Falls in their first regular-season game.

Tip-off is set for 8 p.m.

Emporia State redshirtsophomore quarterback Braxton Marstall led the #9 Hornets to another 4th-quarter comeback as ESU scraped by Missouri Western 27-14 last Saturday in St. Joseph, Missouri.

The Hornet defense allowed an opponent to score on their opening drive for the first time all season. Missouri Western went 70 yards on 11 plays, scoring on a 9-yard touchdown pass to put them up 7-0 with 9:37 left in the first quarter.

After empty possessions by both teams, the Hornets got on the board with a 34-yard

room down only 14-10.

Both offenses struggled in a scoreless third quarter. Emporia State would bring the ball as deep as the Western 23 before a Marstall pass was tipped and intercepted to end their best scoring threat.

The game was decided in the fourth as strong play on both sides of the ball allowed the Hornets to outscore the Griffons 17-0 in the final 11 minutes.

Marstall went 5-5 passing on the Hornets’ second drive of the quarter, hitting Justin Brown, redshirt-sophomore receiver, with a 37-yarder to take a 17-14 lead with 10:42 remaining. On the Griffons next play from

Finally, with 47 seconds remaining in the half, Marstall found Mitchell Foote, senior receiver, with a 3-yard pass to cap an 83-yard touchdown drive. The score saw the Hornets heading into the locker

ESU volleyball sweeps Lindenwood D errick D uncan sports writer

Emporia State had their highest hitting percentage of the season at .324, good for a three-set sweep (25-14, 25-19, 25-16) over Lindenwood last Saturday night in St. Charles, Missouri.

There were six tied scores in the first 22 points of the first set before the Hornets started to break away. A kill from Julia Joseph, sophomore outside hitter, put Emporia State up 12-11, as the Hornets finished the set on a 13-3 run. Emporia State had only two errors and a .300 hitting percentage as they took the first set 25-14.

The Hornets jumped out to an early 6-1 lead in the second set, allowing Lindenwood to only come within three points the entire game.

After two sets, Emporia State had only six hitting errors, compared to Lindenwood’s 16.

In the third set, the teams battled back-and-forth until an 8-3 run by the Hornets forced a Lion timeout at an 11-6 Emporia State advantage. Lindenwood fought back, getting within two points.
