Astronaut Capt. Scott Kelly in Hutch April 17

By Merissa Anderson Collegian Editor

Navy Capt. Scott Kelly, an astronaut best known for his year-long voyage on the International Space Station, will be visiting Hutchinson Community College for what should be an awe-inspiring speech April 17 through the Dillon Lecture Series and Cosmosphere.

Robin Woodworth, HutchCC Administrative Assistant to the President and Dillon Lecture Series Coordinator, said she believes that Kelly’s speech on will be important for the community and campus.

“He encourages people to dream and keep persevering and, as he says, ‘The sky is not the limit’,” Woodworth said.

“I hope students will take advantage of this, be-

cause it’s an opportunity that a lot of people won’t have.

“I just hope that they would attend all of the Dillon Lectures, because even though they may not know the person or recognize the name, they certainly have something we feel would be a good message for this.”

Sam Wilson, a HutchCC sophomore and box office associate at the Cosmosphere, said he has been looking forward to Kelly’s lecture for months.

“When I first heard that Scott Kelly was coming to Hutchinson, I was ecstatic,” Wilson said.

“Being able to hear first-hand accounts of monumental accomplishments, such as living through a long-duration space flight, is exhilarating. It definitely gives me hope for the future of

space flight.”

On average, a Dillon Lecture will draw in a crowd of 1,500 people to 1,800, according to Woodworth. But, because of the attention that Kelly’s inspiring adventure has drawn, upwards of 2,300 people are expected to attend.

“I think this will probably be the largest and most-attended lecture,” Woodworth said. “The Cosmosphere spoke to us when we were selecting speakers for the 2018 lectures and suggested that we partner up with Capt.

Scott Kelly. They certainly had followed his year in space and thought that he would be a good speaker.

It’s a win-win situation for us.

Admittance into the lecture is free for HutchCC students, faculty and staff with an ID. For

anyone else interested in attending Kelly’s lecture, tickets are $10.

“From what I can tell, he’s going to tie in his life experiences and struggles from when he was younger,” Woodworth said.

“He’ll likely discuss how he has endured obstacles and how he never would have imagined he would make history.”

According to Kelly’s web site, scottkelly.com, “Scott Kelly is a former military fighter pilot and test pilot, an engineer, a retired astronaut, and a retired U.S. Navy captain. A veteran of four space flights, Kelly commanded the International Space Station (ISS) on three expeditions and was a member of the yearlong mission to the ISS. In October 2015, he set the record for the total accumulated number of days spent in space, the single longest space mission by an American astronaut.”

Josh Gooch gives input on recent accusations

By Brenna Eller Opinion Editor

Courtesy Photo Athletic Director, Josh Gooch (above), met up with football players and coaches in a private meeting to discuss current allegations against coach, Rion Rhoades. He could not speak further about the matter.

Hutchinson Community College Athletic Director, Josh Gooch, said that he was aware of the recent news stories regarding accusations that football coach, Rion Rhoades, allegedly displayed racism towards black players.

Gooch said he met with some football players and coaches to discuss the allegations.

Gooch, in an email response, said he could not comment on the meeting because it was a “personnel-related matter.”

The Collegian has contacted some HutchCC

football players about the accusations, but none have been willing to provide onthe-record comments.

The Collegian’s policy is not to use anonymous sources unless a person’s physical safety is at risk.

The Collegian uses only named sources otherwise, for credibility and ethical purposes.

“Hutchinson Community College will not tolerate any form of discrimination,” Gooch said. “We have a robust nondiscrimination environment.”

He also pointed out that there is a “Notice of Nondiscrimination” at the bottom of the college’s

main web page, HutchCC. edu.

Rhoades has been the Blue Dragons’ coach since Dec. 2006. Gooch came with Rhoades as an assistant and left in 2010 to become the head football coach at Ellsworth Community College in Iowa.

Gooch returned a year later as an assistant coach and became the Athletic Director on July 1, 2015.

Gooch was asked if anyone had lodged a formal complaint against Rhoades – or any football coach – regarding conduct toward players or assistants of any race.

He said he could not

CAMPUS BEAT

comment again because it is a personnel-related matter.

Gooch said that if a player or athlete at HutchCC feels he or she has been subjected to racism by a coach or teammate, there are options to consider.

“Jake Gunden is the College Equity and Compliance officer,” Gooch said. “Any individual who feels they have suffered discriminatory incidents should contact Mr. Gunden, and he will provide the appropriate guidance on how the individual should proceed and will be the college’s contact.”

A look at every cur-

rent athletic roster at the college indicates that all 12 teams are multi-racial.

“Athletics enriches and enhances this diversity and our college community,” Gooch said.

“This diversity was recently highlighted in a University Business article in which Hutchinson Community College was featured. Our coaches recruit, train, and mentor all of our athletes no matter their ethnicity, religion, or country of origin. HutchCC athletics adds depth and richness to the diversity tapestry of Hutchinson Community College.”

The importance of college papers Our view Across the nation, many believe the popularity of physical newspapers to be decreasing and use this as a reason to cut funds to local and students newspapers alike.

The Wichita State University student newspaper, The Sunflower, is currently facing massive budget cuts, nearly a 50% decrease in funding which threatens the award-winning and widely-read publication featuring their student voices.

Student newspapers are a vital part of campus life and should always work to provide insight to the day-to-day student activities while also reporting on the extraordinary events across the college as well.

The Sunflower deserves to have the funding necessary to continue to keep their campus well-connected through the use of the hopefully never-fading physical newspaper.

An online presence, while beneficial for any newspaper organization, fails

How I spent my Spring Break

The wonderful week of Spring Break has come to an end, and, to be honest with you, I miss it.

I am sure you’re expecting some type of story about going on vacation, but you will not get that from me, because I stayed in Kingman and worked.

It wasn’t eventful at all, but it was nice being able to sleep in and get a few more extra hours at work.

I wish I took more advantage of the week to spend time with my friends, but break didn’t really mean break when you have a ton of homework to do (I may or may not have pushed it off to the last moment).

I was going to catch up on my reading, but I refused to miss out on binge watching “A Series of Unfortunate Events”, which then led me to think of Brenna Eller in the hopes she was able to avoid any potential issues on her spring break.

Is winter over yet?

to connect with its audience the way that a good old fashioned, hard copy news does.

Printed papers, which continue to exist through adequate funding, immerse the readers away from the constant storm of news that bombards the rest of their social media feed.

The readers can pick up a copy from any of the racks across campus or from a staff member handing them out in the student union and connect with the stories in a way that isn’t possible online.

For over two centuries physical newspapers have dominated the new sphere and today, even if many get most of their news online, it is important for journalists to continue to push for print media.

In addition to benefiting readers, at a collegiate level, knowing the basics of designing and laying-out a physical newspaper is essential to pursuing a job in journalism. Student newspapers exist for more than just campus pleasure, they are a vital learning experience for the students working behind the pages.

My nights were spent staying up way too late, causing me to be super tired the next day.

Thankfully, I work in the evenings, so it didn’t affect my work per-

formance.

I also took advantage of the break to rearrange my room for maybe the 10th time.

I don’t know about you, but I enjoy change from time to time. Plus, I have a much better set up.

But enough about my room. I also got a new phone. No more cracked, green glitch, slow working piece of garbage.

The break went by way too fast. We only have about five or six weeks left, and then it will be the end of another semester, which means spending summer nights with the people we care about most.

The unfortunate events of Brenna My Spring Break experience

I already know what you’re all thinking.

“Oh no! What awful thing happened to her on vacation? Another bag mishap or fall?”

Well to answer all questions, I did not have an awful trip in Michigan.

That’s right, Michigan is where I went for Spring Break. My sister, Danielle, and her husband, Jake Jamison, live there in Harrison Township, which is close to Detroit.

This year, Spring Break started off slow because I worked the weekend before and during, then had a day to relax and lounge, which is a fancy way of saying I stayed in my pajamas all day and ate a bunch of junk food.

On my way to babysit my nephew Wednesday, I had to wait for construction on Highway 4.

There, I had stopped right when people had gone to follow a pilot car to the next stop. Lucky me, I was first in the waiting line.

The guy that was working the traffic decided to talk to me because he was bored.

I had been jamming hard core to some music right before getting stopped and immediately turned down the music.

He casually pointed out that my tires were bald and I told him I was aware and everyone keeps telling me, “It’s all right though, it’s just the outer layer.”

Thanks, that makes me feel 100% better.

He also told me that my car was squeaky and

Columnist

Brenna Eller his truck did the same thing. I was just wanting to get the heck out of dodge, because these are the types of situations I love to avoid, but he kept joking around with me and I just laughed awkwardly like I do when I don’t know what to say.

Then, I watched my baby nephew, which was fantastic, because I spent the day with him watching “Monsters Inc.” and we went on a walk. When my sister, Leisha and her husband, Olán got home, we went to hit some baseballs at his gym. I haven’t done this since softball last year in high school, so I really should’ve done some practice swings or something, but I went full throttle and hit as hard as I could.

I did pretty well, but noticed I wasn’t wearing gloves and my hands were starting to burn. Yep, I got a nice blister on my left hand. It had already peeled off so driving home that night was a bit painful, but it wasn’t too bad.

Thursday was the day

that we headed for Michigan. We drove, so this meant five family members all in the same vehicle. We left later than planned and ended up leaving at about 6:30 p.m.

Michigan takes about 16 hours to drive to so we were already behind. When we got into Missouri, it was about 1 a.m. Since I am the night owl of the family, I got to drive the last couple hours to Hannibal where we stayed for the night.

The next day, we took a detour and went to Chicago, where I navigated with grace of course, and got to see Wrigley Field and ate at a pizza place that was pretty interesting.

When we got to Michigan, it was 2 a.m. and we were exhausted, so we said hello to Danielle and Jake and went straight to bed.

The next freezing day, they took us around Michigan, and we got to see some of Detroit and the GM Renaissance Center, which was the largest building in there. Jake works for GM, so he took pleasure in being our guide.

Danielle showed us where she worked and we all had fun eating at their favorite restaurant.

Saturday night, Danielle, Kylie and I played games until 4 a.m.

On Sunday, we went to church and enjoyed the rest of the day napping (for me) and touring again.

Later that night, I found out that I had classes Monday that I was unaware of.

I guess I’m used to Easter Monday being off.

I was upset at myself and had to email all of my teachers and let them know I was missing class, and I had an exam on Tuesday that I had been studying a bit for, and emailed her about missing the exam.

Let’s just say I was not happy about missing this much, but at the same time, liked the distraction from life.

That brings me to Tuesday night before writing this. I was just getting settled into bed in Little River with a plate of pizza in one hand, a pop in the other while moving a blanket out of the way.

That went badly and my pop went all the way to my wall, it sprayed so much. I had a lap full of fizzy liquid and my can was still foaming all over my hand.

So my bed needed to be changed and I got upset thinking about the decent week I had had with no unfortunate events. I spoke to soon.

On the bright side, and despite my sore muscles from the batting before the trip and blister that is still on my hand, I got to see my sister and her husband for the first time since Christmas and had a good time.

Also, on our way to Michigan, we had just missed four total accidents by only a little bit. So, someone was definitely watching over my poorly-scheduled family.

Final production A “Wild” Spring Break Behind the scenes of the Dillon of the year takes the stage Lecture Series The HutchCC Fire Science program works with the Kansas Forest Service to practice Wildland Firefighting skills and to eliminate potential fire hazards for seven days over break.

“21 Guns,” “Wake me up when September Ends,” and “Holiday,” are just some of the legendary Green Day songs incorporated into the stage musical, “American Idiot”, which will round out a strong year for Hutchinson Community College’s theatre department.

The musical follows the self proclaimed “Jesus of Suburbia,” Johnny, in his quest to escape the suburban life, with his two buddies, Will and Tunny.

However, after leaving the city, Johnny finds himself in a passionate affair with a rebellious woman only known in the show as ‘Whatsername’.

Shortly after, Johnny conjures up a troubling alter ego in St. Jimmy, who encourages drug use and damages Johnny’s relationship.

The musical uses music from two of Green Day’s albums: “American Idiot” and “21st Century Breakdown”.

It debuted on Broadway in 2009 and was nominated for three Tony awards, including Best Musical. Throughout its original run, lead singer of Green Day, Billie Joe Armstrong, would play the character St. Jimmy.

The show contains sensitive material including drugs, military pro-

paganda and sex, among others. The cast didn’t hesitate to take on these subjects and prepared to do the story justice.

The show is high energy and physically demanding. At times, the cast sings while performing extreme choreography.

To prepare, the cast did cardio and endurance workouts for part of their rehearsals.

The musical finishes out an impressive year for HutchCC theatre, with previous successful productions in September and November with “Gruesome Playground Injuries” and “The Importance of Being Earnest”.

The show runs April 12-14 at Stringer Fine Arts Center, starting at 7:30 p.m. Students and faculty can get in free with an ID but are advised to reserve tickets ahead of time.

Two fire students keep a burn in control during one of the many cloudy days over spring break.

Much goes into planning the Dillon Lecture Series which brings four renowned speakers to Hutchinson Community College annually.

Robin Woodworth, Administrative Assistant to the President, handles all of HutchCC President Carter File’s appointments while also coordinating the lecture series.

Woodworth is helping out with the Board of Trustees and helps out with the lecture series by contacting the the potential speakers’ agents to see if they are willing to give a lecture.

Woodworth has been with the college for seven years and working in File’s office and involved with the series for two years.

“The Dillon Lecture Series is an organization that started 36 years ago by two ladies in the community,” Woodworth said.

“Jeanette Mull and Barbara Peirce wanted to do something based on what they saw at K-State and bring something similar to Hutch,” Woodworth said.

In previous years, the Dillon Lecture Series hosted five or six speakers but due to the cost of bringing in speakers, it has been cut to four.

Event organizers also select speakers based on

what they come across such as someone in the news that sounds interesting or based on a book they’ve written.

“We have had several people in Kansas,” Woodworth said. “Dave Dillon came from the Dillon family and was the CEO of Kroger at the same and he came and spoke.

Woodworth also added that other Hutchinson natives like Shawn James have been among the series’ speakers.

Woodworth believes that bringing the four speakers every year helps to bring the community together through a variety of topics suggested by the public.

“There’s always different topics,” Woodworth said. “Someone from the community will suggest a name, and we will look into it and see if they would be available, if they’re in budget range and what the community thinks.”

The community and Woodworth are in the process of selecting speakers for 2019. Members of the public are encouraged to email suggestions prior to the patron drive in late fall.

Annually the community will spend around $4,000-5,000 on a speaker but, yearly the community will spend $45,000-50,000.

Ticket sales also go to fund the the series so that they can host speakers for years to come.

Athlete of the week (March 25-31) Matt Percy, men’s golf

The week: Percy had a solid day at the first of three Jayhawk Conference tournaments, this one at Colbert Percy Hills in Manhattan. Percy finished in fourth place, three strokes out of first by carding a two-round, 5-over-par 149. He was one of three Blue Dragons in the top eight, leading them to a thirdplace finish.

The season: Percy, a sophomore from Ottawa, has two other top20 finishes this season, including a sixth-place finish at the Newman Fall Invitational.

Rhymes lauded as best in conference, region

By Lucas Barlow Sports Editor Now that the basketball season is over for this year, the end-of-season awards are being announced.

Hutchinnson Community College sophomore J.J. Rhymes was named the 2018 Jayhawk Conference and Region 6 Player of the Year, some of the highest honors a Blue Dragon can win. His co-star Devonte Bandoo, along with Sal Nuhu, also achieved post-season conference and region honors.

Rhymes was Hutchinson’s leading scorer, as well as the

Nuhu

conference’s, with 19.6 points per game. He almost shot 50 percent on the season, coming in at 47 percent. He finished in the Blue Dragon Top 10 scoring list, with 1,295 career points.

Rhymes had 18 games of 20plus points, six of which were

30 or more. He also scored a game-winning buzzer-beater against Butler on Dec. 6, to give the Blue Dragons an 82-80 victory. He tallied a career-high 41 points that night.

Bandoo was the other major offensive threat, as he became one of the most dangerous 3-point shooters in the conference. The sophomore averaged 16.7 points per game, which was third-best in the conference. He shot 49.3 percent on the season, and 43 percent from 3-point range, fourth best in single-season history. He also ranks 15th on the Blue Dragon career scoring list, with 1,079

points.

Like Rhymes, Bandoo was awarded first-team all-Jayhawk Conference and all-Region 6.

Nuhu is the last Blue Dragon to receive postseason recognition. He was awarded honorable mention all-Jayhawk Conference selection. Nuhu was a great defender for Hutchinson, as he blocked a team-high 56 shots this season, which was fifth in the conference.

He blocked five shots in a single game on Nov. 2 against Garden City. He also averaged 5.5 points and 5.3 rebounds a game, shooting 48.1 percent on the season.
