Interactive displays upgrade campus accessibility Views differ on NLRB ruling Armageddon or Forget About it?

E mily G iffin s ta f f w r i t e r

With roughly 12 new interactive displays for students, faculty, and staff to utilize, the Emporia State University campus is working on an upgrade.

“They just kind of popped up this semester,” said Cory Falldine, chief information officer and associate vicepresident for information technology.

The new interactive displays are replacing the SCALA

monitors, which were used to display schedules and advertise events.

“They are part of our campus wide digital signage system which is called SkySign,” Falldine said. “We use a product called FourWinds, FourWinds Interactive, and we recently, just in the past year, switched from a system called SCALA to FourWinds.”

In switching to a new system, IT was able to help meet many wants and needs for departments campus wide.

“Each department has the ability to display their own calendar of events,” said Tyler Gastineau, primary system administrator for the signage.

“For the School of Business we built a more complex floor map that shows all the floors and where faculty members are at,” said Brian Osbourn, director of system and client solutions. “For ACES we actually built check in capability, so

Earl Young: olympian, businessman, life saver D ustin B ittel managing editor

Olympic gold medalist, Earl Young, shows his support for the Bone Marrow Transplant booth last Thursday in Memorial Union. Young is a survivor of cancer and spends his time encouraging potential donors.

Hornet Life

Earl Young, an olympic gold medalist and founder of Earl Young’s Team, a nonprofit organization dedicated to spreading the awareness of blood cancer visited Emporia State last week to encourage people to get registered on the national bone marrow registry.

“14,000 people are looking for a donor,” Young said. “Out of that number, only four out of ten will find a donor that they match with, six won’t find a donor. It’s a number game.”

Young was diagnosed with

Acute Myeloid Leukemia on Sept. 16, 2011, after he had gone to the doctor’s office to get the “cough and sniffles” he had, checked out. Young hadn’t been to the doctor in four years, so he also decided to have some extra testing done.

Along with the new Sodexo concepts, according to Meal Plan Rates for the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 fiscal years, which were provided by an open records request, Emporia State University (ESU) students also have an estimated 2.5% increase in meal plan costs for this school year.

The increase comes as a result of the reconstruction of the Hornet Express (HX), and the introduction of Sodexo’s three new concepts: Wholly Habaneros, Sub Connection and The

Grille at ESU. “Some of this work actually started before I became the director. It was in Spring 2015,” said Jason Bosch, Director of the Memorial Union. “Sodexo and the Union started having some focus groups with residential students who were living in the halls and on dining plans just to kind of get their feedback about what they liked and what they didn’t like about the structure of the meal plans.”

Bosch went on to explain 100 Emporia State students were polled in Morse and Memorial Union.

Police Fitness classes offered at rec center Reports M aggie U nruh s ta f f w r i t e r

The Emporia State University fitness center is offering a multitude of group fitness classes that students can participate in free-of-charge.

“The atmosphere is so amazing,” said Mallory Kramer, Zumba instructor and senior health promotion major.

“There’s energy; everyone is there to have a good time.”

Kramer teaches Zumba classes on Monday and Wednesdays from 6 to 7 p.m. She uses recent, up-to-date music, such as hip hop and other music you hear on the radio, as opposed to traditional Zumba music, which is often Latin.

“It’s a great way to bring people together, my experience with Zumba helped me to meet new people,” Kramer said.

Reba Basore, senior business administration and communication major, has been teaching yoga at Emporia State University for three years.

“Yoga is not only about feeling good about yourself, but the emotional happiness,” said Basore. “You can calm down and

dispute would be ‘are they employees?’ or ‘are they not?’”

Administration does watch the working conditions of graduate students at ESU to make sure they are getting paid and are being treated fairly, said Johnson.

“This has the potential to have a big impact, but it’s going to take some time,” said Schrock. “Depending on how the state system is set up, this has ramifications. I am certain that at KU, K-State, everywhere in Kansas and I know across the country, a lot of people are sitting down in the administration buildings saying ‘oh, what does that mean for me?’”

reflect and still get a workout.”

Three different yoga classes are offered at the fitness center, each offering a different kind of workout. Yoga flow takes place Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday mornings from 8 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. Its focus is on breathing, flexibility and getting your mind and body ready for the school day.

Restorative yoga is similar to yoga flow, but Basore has students hold the moves longer for increased flexibility and core strength. It is offered Tuesday and Thursday nights from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Finally, power yoga is offered Monday from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Wednesday from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. It is a more advanced yoga class looking to make you sweat and strengthen your core.

The fitness center has mats available for students to use, but participants are encouraged to bring their own yoga mat if they have it.

Tatiana Britton, a senior health promotion major teaches the Better Body classes as well as Booty Camp.

Daniel Hubbel, regional director, and Mary Taves, Overland Park officer in charge, at the region 14 building of the NLRB in Overland Park, Kansas, also declined to comment on the situation.

“I think this is good because sometimes, in academia, we have a tendency to sort things out,” Schrock said. “More and more universities are hiring more and more adjuncts and treating them as ‘hire-a-prof,’ as if they were second class citizens.”

Hartman was employed by ESU for 40 years and received his business and economics degree and masters at ESU, with an emphasis in labor economics.

and Thursday nights from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m., is high intensity training that includes circuit intervals. It offers both cardio and weight training as a part of the class.

Booty Camp is all about gaining strength and flexibility, particularly in the lower half of your body. The class is offered Wednesday from 5 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

“It’s always good to try these things and come out,” said Britton. “A lot of people just expect to look better, but when you come to these things you’re going to feel better, you’ll be

healthier and a lot of people have made really good connections and friends going to these things.”

All of the classes at the fitness center offer modifications so that people of all different fitness abilities are able to still come to the class and have a good time without injuring themselves.

“It’s a fun way to mix things up and the instructors are really nice,” said Savannah Engel, senior nursing major. “Classes are really unique and tons of people can go without feeling like it’s too hard or too easy.”

years as a graduate assistant,” Hartman said. “They were very, very, very insistent...They wouldn’t want to talk about it.”

After Hartman retired, he began digging into why ESU and other institutions of higher education wouldn’t considered graduate assistants as employees.

“I found out, that for the last 35 years, the AFL (American Federation of Labor) has solicited the National Labor Relation Board to consider graduate assistants as employees,” Hartman said. “Well now, it’s beginning to become clear as to why upper management never wanted to recognize graduate students as employees.”

According to Hartman, unions power in the U.S. was falling, so they were looking to grab an untapped resource, graduate students.

“The union movement has gone from about 20 to 22 percent of all American workers, to about 7 percent,” Hartman said. “They’ve really seen their membership...and importance decline.”

The NLRB doesn’t have the power to demand that public universities treat their graduate students as employees, but this may start a revolution in the way graduate students are thought of, according to Hartman.

“The way it’s going to play out, I don’t think even the university councils have figured out what’s going to happen here,” Schrock said. “But we do know that we are no longer treating graduate students that are paid as if it is an extension of their education. It’s a paycheck, not a stipend.”

Hornet bucks: a new way to pay A lex P rince s ta f f w r i t e r

The Memorial Union offers two programs to Hornets that allow them to get deals on dining and shopping in the Memorial Union.

Hornet Bucks and the Commuter plan are two options for students, faculty, and staff, designed as convenient ways for people to be able to spend money in the bookstore and in the dining locations.

Hornet Bucks is a service that allows anyone on campus to load money onto their hornet card and use their card in dining venues in the Memorial Union, as well as in the bookstore.

“The added value in addition to the convenience is that you get a bonus 10% buying power,” said Jason Bosch, Director of the Memorial Union & Student Involvement. “If you put 10 bucks onto your

card, we’re gonna put 11 on,” Bosch said.

The commuter plan is aimed towards off-campus students who do not have a meal plan like resident students.

The plan offers 75 meals that can be spent in the Hornet’s Nest, Buzzcotti and Hornet Express.

The purpose of the commuter plan, according to Steve Stone, Tech Support for the Memorial Union, is to provide a benefit to off-campus students.

“The commuter plan saves students quite a bit of money if they wanna eat in the dining hall but they don’t have a meal plan,” Stone said.

The commuter plan is used to its fullest when used to eat in the Hornet’s Nest, according to Bosch.

“You can use it in the HX or Buzzcotti if you want, but the real value in the plan come

from using it in the Hornet’s Nest,” Bosch said.

The difference between using the Commuter plan or paying cash at the door to eat in the dining hall is $140 according to Bosch.

“You save $140 dollars on eating lunch in the Nest over paying cash,” Bosch said.

That’s just one of the benefits.

According to Stone, the programs encourage people to use the food services on campus.

“It encourages people to stay on campus and be part of the campus life and experience,” Stone said.

The Commuter plan began four years ago when constructed by Greg Larson, the assistant director at the time.

It was a team effort between him, Dave Hendricks, the director of the union, and food services designed to give off-

campus students an option.

They designed it with 75 meals in mind, because it adds up to about one meal per day in a semester, according to Stone.

Hornet Bucks on the other hand have been used for over six years, in the past referred to as declining balance.

“Over the years it’s been referred to as both Hornet Bucks and declining balance, but we’ve been trying to market it as Hornet Bucks,” Bosch said.

“The whole purpose was to give valuable options to all the students, not just the residential students,” Stone said. Arijana Cook, speech and theatre education senior believes the services can benefit students on the go.

“If they’re saving money, they’re also saving time,” Cook said. “If they are on a busy schedule, they can just swipe their card and go for it.

Shakespeare’s hidden stage directions brought to light by professor E mily G iffin s ta f f w r i t e r

Almost exactly 400 years ago, the well-known playwright William Shakespeare passed away, leaving many works behind to be read, acted and studied by others.

This year, several sites around the United States are playing host to his first folios, one of which will also play host to assistant professor of communication and theatre Dan Matisa and two of his three research assistants.

“Evan [Eisenbarth] and Allison [Demeyer] will accompany my wife and I to Duluth Minnesota over fall break, and we will see, well they will see their first folios, this will be the second one I’ve seen,” Matisa said.

The Katherine K. White Grant

that Matisa received will be used to cover travel for himself and his student research assistants to the event he will be presenting at.

“It’ll pay for travel and hotel, and if there’s anything leftover maybe food at the different sites, but once it’s gone, it’s gone,” Matisa said.

When word was sent out about the Katherine K. White grant last year, Matisa began brainstorming a topic for proposal that he wanted to be unique.

Matisa presented his finished product, acting in Shakespeare, at 5 p.m. on Friday Sept. 2.

Matisa will be giving the same lecture at the Duluth folio tour stop in mid-October.

“The other events I’ve seen on the websites of the folios tour stops center around the folio as a text, but very few concentrate on the acting and the acting clues

that are in the text, especially in the folios, so I hope that makes it a unique topic,” Matisa said.

Attendees at the lecture ranged from students to professors to friends.

“What really struck me was that Matisa talked so much about structure and sound in many of Shakespeare’s monologues and as a poet, those are things we deal with every day,” said Kevin Rabas, lecture attendee and chair of the English Modern Languages and Journalism.

Matisa was sure to thank his research assistants in his lecture, and they were thankful for the experience it gave them.

“It was cool! It was an honor to be asked to be a research assistant. There was a lot of digging involved,” Alyssa Grissom, student research assistant and senior English major, said.

With professors from around the world, Emporia State University’s foreign language classes provide a variety of experiences for students.

“I think the most important thing for students is to have the opportunity to participate or to be part of modern languages is the fact that they are able to learn about other languages, other cultures and having professors from other parts of the world for them to learn from,” said Gregory Robinson, professor in Latin American studies.

In addition to courses on campus, there are many opportunities for students to study abroad. Recently, Robinson took a group of students to Columbia as part of an exchange.

“I think that our students came back with a different perspective of what Columbia is,” Robinson said. Of course they could see some negative things but at the same time they were able to learn and gain new experiences too.”

Currently, French, German, Spanish and Arabic courses are offered through

the university, and the department is looking to hear the wants of students as to which future courses will be offered.

“Hopefully in the future with the new search that were going to be conducting, perhaps one of the things we might find is that a new instructor who is fluent, or near fluent, in French or German to grow the program to levels three and four,” Robinson said.

Many students on campus take foreign language classes as either part of their curriculum, or simply out of personal interest in other languages and cultures.

“I really just enjoy learning languages,” said Sarah Johnson, senior secondary education English major. “I think they’re important because that way you can learn the language and culture and orient yourself to other cultures in the real world.”

Rayna Karst, junior English major, agrees with Johnson.

“Not only do they give you an insight into the language, they also help students learn about different cultures and it just gives a better understanding of the world around them,” said Karst.

LGBTQ publication newly distributed on campus S arah S poon editor-in-chief

Liberty Press, a newsmagazine, whose motto is “covering the Kansas LGBT and allied community since 1994,” according to their publication, has recently started to be distributed on Emporia State’s campus.

The monthly publication can be found on a new stand next to the ID office in Memorial Union, according to Gary Rapp, director of the academic center for excellence and success.

The most recent production, the September edition, featured stories about Topeka and Wichita, Kansas’s pride

celebrations, local LGBT authors and finding safe places for members of the LGBT community.

“(Our goal is) to provide news coverage, resources and support to the gay, lesbian, transgender and allied community in Kansas,” said Kristi Parker, the editor and owner of Liberty Press.

Liberty Press is distributed in 14 Kansas cities, including Kansas City, Lawrence and Wichita, according to the publication.

The Wichita based publication just recently begin distributing to ESU again.

The Birth of a Nation (2016) Controversy Over the summer, Nate Parker, the Director of the critically-acclaimed perioddrama, “The Birth of a Nation,” has come under fire by the public after a 17-year-old rape allegation has resurfaced.

I do not know everything about the situation,

and I won’t not go too far into detail. I have read a bunch of articles about the case, or at least enough to form my own opinion on the situation.

In short, after hearing about Parker’s rape allegation, I still want to and will see “The Birth of a Nation” upon

cover the entire state of Kansas but had scaled back on shipping when the economy downturned,” Parker said. “I was recently approached by Gary Rapp to start distributing there again.”

Rapp said he realized that since he drives from Wichita everyday, he could bring the publication on his way. Once obtaining permission from Jason Bosch, director of the Memorial Union, he began doing just that, according to Rapp.

“I have worked in higher ed for about 20 years, and my role has varied but it’s always been to support students,” Rapp said. “I’ve just experienced students, of all backgrounds some-

times don’t have the resources... they might need to be successful. So, Liberty Press is just one, out of many, different kinds of supports that are available.

The articles that are in there are about the current events that affect the LGBTQ community, resources…(and) businesses that are not discriminatory.”

People respecting individuality and diversity in education (PRIDE) is the registered student organization on campus for members of the LGBT community and allies.

“I think it’s extremely important (to have literature on campus focusing on diversity and the LGBT community),” said Rochelle Rowley, PRIDE

advisor and assistant professor of sociology, anthropology and crime and delinquency studies.

“I’m an ally and I advocate for not just LGBTQ diversity, but all kinds of diversity...I think it helps people know we are an inclusive university.”

PRIDE is aware of the publication and will be promoting it, said Rowley.

“It’s fabulous, absolutely fabulous,” said Rowley. “To be able to open the Liberty Press up and see things that have been done, by people who have typically been oppressed and marginalized is phenomenal.”

The Oct. issue of Liberty Press will be available Sept. 30, according to Parker.

its release October 7. Why? Well, for one, I personally do not feel that I can be for nor against the film because I do not have enough information on the night the alleged raping occurred, and considering that I do not know the parties involved, I don’t think I or anyone else ever will.

Secondly, even though I do understand how rigged our justice system is, especially when it comes to college athletes (Parker was a wrestler at Penn. State at the time), Parker was found not guilty.

Lastly, the story of Nat Turner, and the way in which it is supposedly being portrayed on screen is very important for our society to witness.

Not only has this film received almost only positive reviews from critics, but this

film received both the Sundance Film Festival Audience Award and U.S. Grand Jury Prize. Being the biggest highlight of Sundance in January, Fox Searchlight Pictures bought worldwide film rights for $17.5 million, which is the largest deal at the film festival since its beginnings.

Simply put, this film is powerful, informative and necessary. As mentioned earlier, the film’s plot loosely follows the life of Nat Turner, a preacher and slave, who led a slave rebellion in Southampton County, Virginia in 1831.

Avid moviegoers may also recognize that the 2016 film “The Birth of a Nation” is a play on the 1915 American silent drama film of the same title. The 1915 film is adapted from the novel and play “The

Clansman,” and today it is praised for its cinematography, and greatly ridiculed for the countless historical inaccuracies such as, President Abraham Lincoln having ties to the Ku Klux Klan (KKK).

Furthermore, the 1915 film pretty much depicts AfricanAmerican men (some were played by white men in blackface) as unintelligent and sexually aggressive towards white women, and the KKK as a heroic group.

With all of that being said, I believe that it is time for America to see a quality film about the period of slavery in which a slave actually leads the rebellion. No cheeky comedy to appease the uncomfortable, and a historically rich film that tells the story of Nat Turner.

The Bulletin | September 8, 2016

Adequate Listening Measures STAFF EDITORIAL 70 percent of faculty and 55 percent of students were completely ignored on a decision that will change all of our lives.

70 and 55 percent.

We, the students, faculty and staff, were ignored by the Administration of Emporia State on the Conceal and Carry Policy enforced by the state.

For the most part, we get it. It’s a state law.

But what was the purpose of sending the survey to everyone on campus when ESU wasn’t going to try and fight it?

Furthermore, after the administration just handed down the orders from the state to the faculty senate, did faculty senate stand up?

Did they say “no, we don’t want this?”

No. They did not.

For the past few months, faculty senate decided that it was better to expand on the definition of “conceal and carry” and what “proper

storage” is rather than to use their voices when the rest of us couldn’t.

The law, which will go into effect July 1st, 2017, clearly states that concealed carry will be allowed on public universities unless “adequate security measures were taken.”

But what about looking into “adequate security measures?” They didn’t even consider the option.

Students have spoken up. Faculty have spoken up.

But their voices weren’t represented in faculty senate meetings. They neglected their own student and faculty’s voices.

We at The Bulletin are the voice of the student and it’s finally time to rip open the administration and faculty senate for not listening for what the students (and faculty) wanted.

Students would probably feel their opinion and voices would be better understood if the administration had

defined “adequate security” measures and actually looked into enacting them.

Instead, they started bickering about what “proper storage was.”

Faculty senate just followed the administrations lead, without any regard to the survey.

Paying a little more in tuition fees to provide metal detectors and security at every door to every building on campus is more than worth it. ESU administration may argue that the additional costs will drive prospective students away. But do you know what else drives students away? Allowing concealed carry on campus.

The bill documenting how ESU will respond to this law is due to the state in October. That’s right around the corner.

If you are a student or faculty who does not want conceal carry on our campus, you must talk to your department’s senator(s) or to the

Not Just a Teachers College

H annah H aefele opinion writer

When you think of Emporia State, what do you think of?

Do you think of the Teachers College? The football team? What about the Business School, the art department or the music department?

Yes, Emporia State is known for its education program and its football team, but there’s more to it than that.

Students come here from literally all over the world to study different subjects and pursue different careers.

I, myself, am a music performance major. I have become really good friends with people who are English majors, Spanish majors, accounting majors, general business majors and other music majors.

Almost every time I tell someone I am attending Emporia State, they ask if I am studying education. I don’t take offense to it, but

it is somewhat troubling because this school is more than the teachers college.

There’s the school of business, the college of arts and sciences, and even the school of library and information management.

Each of these schools deserve to be recognized and appreciated.

The school of business is internationally accredited by the association to advance collegiate schools of business.

The college of liberal arts and sciences covers everything from art to zoology, and the programs are just as noteworthy as the teachers college.

Emporia State is well known for its sports. The women’s basketball team has gone to multiple NCAA championships. The football team made it to the quarterfinals last year.

But there are many more activities and organizations to choose from.

The educational theatre company (ETC), the literary magazine Quivira, philosophy club, multiple sororities and fraternities, honor societies. And a club or group for almost every department on campus.

Sports are a big part of the community, but I know I’m not the only person who is not athletic. Some people aren’t going to be interested in attending home games for all of the various sports,

and that’s okay.

That’s why we should promote these organizations and groups more so that people can come here knowing that there are more ways to get involved than by going to home games or joining Greek life.

In order to recruit more people, we as a university need to better market the activities and academics that go unnoticed.

There are so many different areas and specialties students can pursue here; the teachers college and the sports programs are not the only things going on on campus, but it can sometimes look that way to outsiders.

I am in no way trying to minimize the teachers college or the athletics department.

They deserve every award, mention and donation they receive.

But as a student who isn’t part of that facet of the university, I sometimes feel left out or under appreciated.

The theatre, art, creative writing and music students spend hours every day working to hone their craft. Theatre rehearsals can go late into the night; art projects take a long time to polish. Creative writing students could spend days writing and rewriting a story or screenplay; music majors are usually in more than 18 credit hours each semester.

Everyone works hard at this school. Emporia State may not be the Kansas City Art Institute.

It may not be Juilliard, but the students here still deserve to be recognized.

In order to continue having such a diverse group of students here, more work needs to be done in order to recruit students for those areas and departments.

A demand for classroom diversity

S arah S poon editor-in-chief

Here at Emporia State there is a lack of diversity in the way foreign languages are being taught.

There is a distinct kind of learner whose needs are not being addressed in the classroom. These are heritage learners. There is no set up for heritage learners to be taught a second language.

Each students brings their own individual set of skills and knowledge to each classroom.

A heritage learner is a student who already has some background in the culture and language their trying to learn because of their background. For example, I have a friend who is a heritage learner because her grandparents and her father speak Spanish.

However, she lives with her mother and stepdad, who do not speak Spanish, so she has gaps in her education. I myself, could also be considered a “heritage learner” as my father speaks Spanish at home sometimes and we’ve been known to watch telenovelas (the Spanish version of a soap opera) together.

The problem is, heritage learners want to learn their language better, but there is no set up to do that yet. If heritage learners walk into Spanish 101, they feel what they are learning is too easy,

and too basic for them. But if they walk into Spanish 2 or 3, they have missed vital gaps in their education, making them feel as if they aren’t prepared for the class. This causes a low retention rate of heritage learners in Spanish classes. I cannot tell you the number of times I have begun a Spanish class and introduced myself to these people who would fall under the category of a “heritage learner,” to never see them in the class again.

Part of the problem is that students themselves, might not know they are heritage learners, but just feel out of place in any foreign language class they enroll in.

Another part of the problem, a bigger part, is that students don’t talk to faculty, so there isn’t an awareness that these classes are needed. If faculty and administration don’t know that we are having problems keeping heritage learners in the classroom, they don’t know there’s a problem that needs to be fixed.

There is good news. Fortunately, for heritage learners, there is a proactive faculty out there willing and ready to help students. Dr. Spaulding, an assistant professor of English, modern languages and journalism, is ready to help us. Dr. Spaulding is willing to create new classes to appeal to the heritage learner.

Reach out to Dr. Spaulding. Reach out to Dr. Rabas, the chair of the English, modern languages and journalism department, and reach out to your faculty. Let them know the numbers are there for these programs.

Until we start asking for these programs, faculty and administration won’t know to give them to us.

SODEXO continued from page 1 how students in these said focus groups took part in a trip to test out the food concepts at Pittsburg State University to try out Sodexo food options, and compare them to the then-ESU concepts.

“I was on the Sodexo subcommittee that helped create the meal plan options and breakdown,” said Jacob Mendez, Complex Coordinator for Residential Life. “Secondly, I served as kind of a quasi focus group in comparing other institutions, mainly Pittsburg State, and their dining options to what Emporia offered to help transition the HX.” Justin Turner, junior communication major, provided his perspective on the experience of being a part of one of the focus groups.

“We started off at their sandwich station, and basically they just told us go get a sandwich,” said Turner. “Go through the process as if you were a student, and then we’ll go out and eat it, and you can tell us what you think of the food, and what you think of the service.”

With the slight increase in meal plan rates this school year, the quality of food and service at the HX is said by Turner to be worth the money for students.

“That (cost) was something that we definitely discussed after we had all eaten and everything, and they mentioned that Pitt State was a little more expensive than ESU was last year. But we definitely agreed that the quality was better at Pitt State, and if we could recreate that, then we definitely would be willing to pay the extra in exchange for the quality of what we were getting.”

Massage therapist offers relaxation opportunities to students

A lex P rince s ta f f w r i t e r

Brenda Barrett, massage therapist, continues to offer massages to students through the Student Wellness Center on

campus. Through an agreement with the Student Wellness Center, Barrett offers her services at a discount in a space provided by the department.

“We basically provide the space and do her scheduling and in return she discounts her rates,” said Mary McDaniel, director of student health services. “She uses space in Health Services that we don’t need during our Thursday evening hours. We’re open until 7 on Thursdays.”.

Students can schedule a massage through the Center at a premium price.

“The costs are $30 for a half hour and, $40 for an hour, cash only,” Barrett said.

Barrett’s schedule only offers her the chance to set up appointments Thursday evenings.

“I am just interested in doing massage on a part time basis now,” Barrett said. “And it works out with my full time job to do it thru the Wellness Center.”

The massages Barrett provides have been offered through the Student Wellness Center for two years, starting this semester, according to Barrett, and the frequency of appointments is

often varied.

“It is always hit and miss with appointments,” Barrett said. “Sometimes it will be booked up for a few weeks and then nothing for a few weeks.

You just never know.”

Barrett has been practicing massage since December 2005.

“I have always been interested in massage and decided to look into it after my kids graduated from high school,” Barrett said.

Massage provides a variety of health benefits, according to Barrett.

“Massage has many health benefits, relieves stress and tension, relaxes muscles and stimulates your circulation,” Barrett said.

Athletes in particular could benefit from such services, according to McDaniel.

“Others use it as a therapy for sore muscles or muscle spasms,” McDaniel said. “Brenda has worked with athletes with those sort of issues.”

“I love discounts on anything so that sounds really cool,” Abby Ausherman, senior art education major, said. “The price is really good, but definitely for a leisure thing.”

Turner controversy continues to grow XENIA, Ohio (AP) — A former Stanford University swimmer whose six-month jail sentence for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman sparked a national outcry registered as a sex offender on Tuesday in Ohio, where he’s living with hisparents.

Brock Turner registered at the Greene County sheriff’s office four days after he was released from a California jail for good behavior after serving half his term.

His mother tried to shield him from media cameras as he registered under his family’s Daytonarea address in Sugarcreek Township, where about a dozen people had protested Friday as police watched.

Sheriff Gene Fischer said Turner is being treated the same as any other sex offender under his office’s supervision.

Turner, 21, must register as a sex offender for life, checking in every three months, and he faces three years of supervised probation. Deputies will check on him without warning to make sure he

hasn’t moved without permission.

Police took a complaint Monday about cars passing in front of Turner’s home and pictures being taken, according to copies of incident reports associated with the Turners’ address. The Associated Press obtained the records through a public records request.

Another report indicates an officer checking on the home Monday night found several broken eggs and an egg carton on the sidewalk and driveway.

Turner was convicted of assaulting the woman near a trash bin after they drank heavily at a fraternity party in January 2015.

The woman passed out, and Turner was on top of her when confronted by two graduate students passing by on bicycles. The graduate students chased and tackled him when he tried to flee, holding him on the ground until police arrived.

A jury convicted Turner of sexual assault. Santa Clara County Judge Aaron Persky sentenced

him to six months in jail, citing the “extraordinary circumstances” of his youth, clean criminal record and other considerations in departing from the minimum sentence of two years in prison.

Prosecutors had argued for six years.

Turner plans to appeal.

His case exploded on social media and ignited a debate about campus rape and the criminal justice system after a letter the accuser read at his sentencing was published online.

“I want to show people that one night of drinking can ruin two lives,” she wrote. “You and me. You are the cause, I am the effect.”

The furor grew after letters surfaced that Turner’s family and friends wrote urging the judge to be lenient. Turner’s father lamented that his son’s life was ruined by “20 minutes of action,” and his grandparents complained that “Brock is the only person being held accountable for the actions of other irresponsible adults.”

Christmas in September?

Operation christmas child collects gifts for children

M aggie U nruh s ta f f w r i t e r

“In the hands of local churches, every gift-filled shoebox is a powerful tool for evangelism and discipleship— transforming the lives of children and their families around the world through the Good News of Jesus Christ,” according to Samaritan’s Purse, a worldwide Christian organization and the founders of Operation Christmas Child.

Every year, Samaritan’s Purse, through Operation Christmas Child, impacts millions of children around the world through small shoeboxes filled with gifts and necessities.

This year, as one of the days of Emporia State University’s Seven Days of Service, students on campus will have the opportunity to be a part of Operation Chirstmas Child.

Seven days of service will take place Sept. 19 through the 25.

“My friends and I went to a presentation they were having and it seemed like a fun way to

get involved,” said Jodi Smith, a junior marketing major. “I think other students should get involved because it’s a great way to meet friends, and meet new people while giving back to the community.”

On Sept. 20, in the Memorial Union West Lobby, from 11:002:00, students can participate in the Operation Christmas Child packing party as a part of the seven days of service.

“We’re providing shoeboxes,” said Elayna Coleman, community hornet coordinator and senior English major.

“Then students can go pick out their items and we’ll have some here too if they forget.”

Typically packing parties happen in the fall, because everything has to be sent to the central headquarters at Samaritan’s Purse before they can send it out. They want to do the packing party as part of their seven days of service which is why they’re doing it now Community Hornets have been collecting items to put in the shoeboxes, but students are encouraged to bring small toys

Recently donated toys to Operation Christmas Child are organized by Elayna Coleman, senior English major, and Ethan Sharp, sophomore physical education major, Tuesday in front of the Center for Student Involvement in Memorial Union. Donations should be able to fit inside a shoebox and can be dropped off at the front desk of Center for Student Involvement. ALAYNE WEBER The Bulletin

and other items to personalize their box. Suggested items to bring include: toys (i.e. soccer ball, doll, stuffed animals, yo-yo), personal care items (i.e. toothbrush, toothpaste, hair-

brush, wash cloth), clothing, and hard candy. Students can then arrange their items in the shoebox and write a short note to the child that will be receiving the gift.

“It’s kinda a cool way to show people around the world that ESU cares and that students at ESU are trying to make a difference,” said Coleman.

5.6 magnitude earthquake shakes campus awake E mily G iffen s ta f f w r i t e r

At around 7 am last Sat. a 5.6 magnitude earthquake, originating in Pawnee, Oklahoma, shook Emporia State’s campus and it’s students.

“I was really panicked,” said Esperanza Garza, sophomore nursing major. “I had no idea what was going on. It took me several seconds to realize it was an earthquake and I just laid in bed petrified.”

Many students were woken up by the uncharacteristic tremors.

“I initially thought it was a weird dream, but when I realized it was real I was actually worried, cause my whole room was shaking pretty furiously,” said Jordan Caudill, senior managing information systems major.

Some students remained awake after the conclusion of the quake while others returned to bed.

Caudill took to social media after the earthquake.

“Well first I got on Twitter to see who else felt it and it looked like everyone I knew did,” Caudill said. “Then me and the roomies talked about what they thought it was. Shortly after that I went back to bed.”

Others found other ways to

“After it was over, I was so scared I called 911,” Garza said.

“They just said there had been multiple reports but nothing severe had been reported so far.”

Earth science professor, James Aber, added the event to a blog for his advanced tectonics class shortly after the earthquake concluded.

An excerpt from his blog post reads: “September 3: This morning just after 7 o’clock an earthquake was felt in Emporia.

At your instructor’s house, it was a sudden and loud shock like a heavy object hitting the house, which caused chandeliers to swing (and scared the cat). Interior plaster-board walls suffered new cracks.”

Abers also noted that this earthquake was the largest since an earthquake in 2011 measuring the same magnitude.

“Both these events were undoubtedly human-induced as a consequence of oil-field brine disposal,” read Aber’s blog.

Bone marrow donors double intended total registrations

national bone marrow registry, the bone marrow regs ta f f w r i t e r istration drive wrapped up Thursday evening afAfter doubling the initer the first home football tial goal of adding 250 game. potential donors to the “It went really well,”

said Chris Alderman, student event coordinator and senior biochemistry and molecular biology major.

“We had 450 people from the drive here at ESU, and another 100 from the Flint Hills Technical College. It was really exciting to see how many people in the community were interested in becoming a donor.”

Volunteers from Caduceus society, the Beta Beta Beta Honors Biology society, the Student Athlete Advisory Council and the Honors College teamed up to aid in adding names to the national bone marrow registry.

“The biggest challenge was just educating people about others who need bone marrow and what being a donor really

means,” said Chukwunenye Nweke, volunteer and junior psychology major.

Volunteers taking cheek swabs had to undergo training where they were briefed on the two different methods used to extract bone marrow for donors who discover that they are a match for someone and decide to go through with the donation process.

“About 80 percent of people choose to do the centrifuge, which is very similar to donating plasma in that they take blood from one arm, harvest the T cells and then return what’s left through the other arm,” said Nkem Nwogu, volunteer and senior economics major. “The other 20 percent choose to have the marrow extracted

from their hip.”

Nearly two full days filled with booths, events, and speeches saw many volunteers from the university, and at little to no cost.

“All it cost us was basically our time and maybe dinner once or twice,” Alderman said. “Delete Blood Cancer even brought down a couple of their volunteers.”

In addition to helping with the event, Delete Blood Cancer showed interest in returning to ESU in the future.

“The people at Delete Blood Cancer were so happy with the culture at ESU and they made it very clear that they want to come back here,” Alderman said.

doon. “Too often the textbooks are good but not affordable or affordable and not good.”

Only one book was sold by the Emporia State bookstore and the bookstore only ordered three copies to be sold or rented to students, according to Michael McRell, the bookstore manager.

There are two reasons why students will or won’t buy a textbook from the bookstore, according to McRell. The first is

the price, which is established by the publisher. The second is whether or not the students and professor will regularly use the book for their class.

The textbook is used regularly in the classroom, according to Muldoon.

“We read 12 chapters, so ideally the students should read the book and we do use cases in the book,” said Muldoon. “I know that students who do use the book, do score

higher.”

Muldoon chose the book for the class because he knew he would be able to get it on time for the semester from Cengage, according to Muldoon.

“I was not supposed to teach this (MG 553A) this semester.... We had somebody leave who was going to teach it, so it kinda fell to me and I didn’t know until July that I was teaching it. I primarily buy my books from Cengage.

I’ve had a very long relationship with Cengage. That was the one book on Entrepreneurship that they had and it is the one book that I know I would be able to get my hands on before the start of the semester. I selected the 9th rather than the 10th edition because there is a used textbook market for the 9th edition.”

The book can be bought from Cengage for $359.95 and rented for $57.49.

Provost: Keeping the Doors Open

A lexander P rince s ta f f w r i t e r

Many students do not pay mind to the departments outside of their major. One such department is the Provost office, which without, the University would cease to function.

The Provost, according to Gary Wyatt, the Associate Provost and Director of the Honors College, manages all academic functions of the university.

“The Provost will do for the university what a department chair will do for

the department,” Wyatt said.

“There are a lot of things that have to go on in order for the doors to open every morning,” David Cordle, Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs, said. “A lot of those are things that I don’t want students to have to worry about, that’s not why they’re here. Their responsibility is getting a good education and doing well academically and preparing themselves for the next chapter. A lot of our work is to create the conditions that make that possible,” Cordle said.

So what does the term Provost mean? Where does it come from? “It’s pretty common in colleges and universities for the Vice President of Academic Affairs to also have the title of Provost,” Cordle said. “The term Provost suggests that there are some responsibilities that are broader than just academic programs,” Cordle said.

According to Wyatt, if an institution chooses to give the Vice President of Academic Affairs more responsibilities than just running and organizing managing the academic experiences on campus, then that person will often be called the Provost.

Cordle’s responsibilities as Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost is to work with the deans and department chairs and the faculty to deliver, according to Cordle, “Good academic programs for our students.”

Other duties the position handles include holding Provost Council where all the deans come, issues related to classroom instruction, pedagogical issues, hiring of faculty, what positions are needed for what departments, and issues concerning complaints or disciplinary manners.

“He oversees the student advising center, the IT people, libraries and archives, they’re all kinda under one big umbrella and the Provost provides support and direction to those people under it,” Wyatt said.

Many students are unaware of the operation that goes on behind the scenes, but Cordle believes students should be aware of how the university is structured and where the different responsibilities lie.

“To me, that’s a good thing, but I don’t think students ought to have to worry about it,” Cordle said.

Wyatt also believes students should know about what goes on behind the

scenes.

“I think it’s just wise for people to be informed about how the university runs and how the whole university is organized,” Wyatt said.

“Definitely I think people should know what they’re doing,” Madison Schultz, sophomore theatre major said.

The challenges the Provost handles are broad and vital to the function of the University. “Funding is certainly a challenge,” Cordle said. “The amount of financial support we get from the state has decreased over the years.”

This makes it challenging to provide the quality of education the University wishes to achieve. The Provost must also juggle the challenge of keeping things affordable for students and their parents.

“The Provost himself has some very substantial decisions to be made,” Wyatt said. “Decisions of hiring and firing, disciplinary matters, how resources like money is allocated, what programs get what funds taken away, and handling complaints.”

At the end of the day, the Provost desires to make it easier for faculty to teach and students to learn.

Top-ranked Bearcats score 41 Sports Shorts unanswered, defeat Hornets 41-14 Hornets place second

SARAJO MANCE | The Bulletin

A dam B lake spor ts editor

After an encouraging start, an exhausted Hornet defense allowed 41 unanswered points to the top-ranked Northwest Missouri State Bearcats on route to a 41-14 defeat at Welch last Thursday.

Redshirt-sophomore quarterback Braxton Marstall was efficient on ESU’s first offensive possession of the year, leading the Hornets on a 12 play, 88-yard scoring drive. A mixture of quick passes and crafty scrambles by Marstall was capped by a 3-yard touchdown pass to redshirt-sophomore re-

ceiver Justin Brown with 7:08 left in the first quarter.

The Hornets’ early 7-0 lead marked the first time Northwest Missouri had trailed in over 450 minutes of game time dating back to last season.

“We got into a good rhythm there at the start and kept it going for the whole drive,” Marstall said. “It was definitely a good way to start the game.”

The Bearcats moved quickly down the field on their next drive looking to even up the score, but were held to a field goal with 1:16 remaining in the first quarter. An impressive goal-line stand by the Emporia State defense

gave the Hornets a 7-3 advantage at the end of the first quarter.

“It definitely got us fired up,” said Gabe Cleveland, junior linebacker.

“Anytime you come out and are able to shut down a team like that on the first drive, you definitely have some confidence.”

Unfortunately, the start of the second quarter also seemed to mark the beginning of a different game for the Hornets.

After a quick three-andout on offense, the Emporia State defense was put on its heels by a fast-paced Bearcat drive. Northwest Missouri traveled 71-yards in 1:38 on only 4 plays, taking the lead from the Hor-

nets permanently on a 11yard touchdown run with 13:46 left in the second.

Now trailing 10-7, Emporia State’s offense was unable to do much of anything against the Bearcat defensive front. The Hornets would go three-andout on six of their next seven possessions, getting negative yardage on four of them.

“We played really well for one quarter is how I look at it,” Emporia State head football coach Garin Higgins said. “After that, we could never flip the field offensively which resulted in some tired legs and minds on defense.”

By the 11:06 mark in the 4th quarter, the score read 41-7 in favor of Northwest.

The Hornet defense was seemingly on the field for the entire game as ESU lost the time-of-possession battle by over 13 minutes.

Marstall was 8-16 passing for 63 yards and a touchdown before being replaced in the 4th quarter.

He also recorded 31 yards on the ground, but was sacked three times. Junior Oklahoma A&M transfer Jaylen Lowe took over under center for the Hornets with 11:00 remaining and lead them to their second touchdown against the Bearcats’ second-string defense.

“I believe we’re a lot better team than we showed tonight,” said Higgins. “The student section was unbelievable, packed, that’s what we’ve got to have. I need to tell them, just like I told the team, one game does not define who we are.”

The Hornets will attempt to grab their first win of the season on the road Thursday night at 7 p.m. against NebraskaKearney.
