Black History Month:

By Tabitha Barr Opinion Page Editor

‘People are influenced by history’

Hutchinson Community College’s computer network analyst-trainer Rod Alexander, says that “people are influenced by history.”

People’s reactions to everyday situations are taken a certain way because it has ultimately been formed from past experiences and knowledge.

This is proven to be true as the way society thinks is based upon history and those who have come before us. “I look at it as the country has a history,” and people tend to follow the curve set in front of them said Alexander.

Some of these ways are positive in which people continue to push forward in making their lives what they want.

However, history can sometimes be a reminder of the closed minded views that people use to have, and some still carry.

February is when the world celebrates those who were treated unfairly for something so trivial. Black History Month was created to praise those who have taken huge steps in gaining the right for equality for African

Americans.

It was definitely not an easy task, and Alexander has proven that.

PhD’s are not easy to achieve, but it’s certainly less obtained by African Americans.

When he graduated in 2012, only 12,621 African Americans received

their doctorate degree out of 177,587 in total based on the statistics from The Condition of Education.

That’s only 7.1 percent for that year.

His major is in Information Systems and Technology which he started pursuing after working with computers

in the military. He never really planned to obtain a PhD more as it was just what was supposed to come next.

He soon started teaching at HutchCC because of the available job posted and enjoys his time here. He mentioned that because of

the small town apparatus, people are less aware of minorities and the situations that arise between others. “It’s a learning experience for everyone,” because exposure is limited in towns where newcomers aren’t common.

“We continue to move

closer and closer together,” Alexander said when talking about pushing past racism.

“We have to have honest conversations with each other.” And by doing so, everyone can come together and create an environment that celebrates equality.

Paramedic program started lifelong career for alumna

By Brenna Eller Editor in Chief

There are students who are lost and don’t know what they want to be, and there are those who know exactly the path they want to follow and plan everything in that direction.

Windom native, Burdette Abbey Burdette, known as Abbey Baldwin when she attended Hutchinson Community College, was taken back by the opportunities that HutchCC offered her when she was choosing her next step after graduating from Little River High School.

Burdette is now in the occupation she hoped for, a paramedic and since then has become a Restorative Nurse as well at Kansas Heart Hospital in

Wichita.

Maintaining both jobs, she has worked in the Intensive Care Unit and emergency room so far, and will keep aspiring to do what she loves.

When Burdette was still in high school, she obtained 15 credit hours, which ended up giving her a head start in her future and helped her graduate quicker at HutchCC, which she later did in 2014.

It didn’t take long for Burdette to believe Hutchinson Community College was the right school for her, and she found that the paramedic program was excellent and exactly what she wanted to do.

“I just felt like another number when I visited other schools,” Burdette said, “Then one day I decided I should look into being a medic, so I took my EMT, which is a prerequisite to para-

then has become a Restorative Nurse as well at Kansas Heart Hospital in Wichita.

Maintaining both jobs, she has worked in the Intensive Care Unit and emergency room so far, and will keep aspiring to do what she loves.

Burdette encourages all who are interested in the paramedic program to experience everything HutchCC has to offer for themselves.

For those who are struggling to find a job or the right healthcare profession, the paramedic program can help one not only get a job fast, but give you a fulfillment in life.

“It was the right choice for me and I had a job before I even graduated,” Burdette said, “Additionally, being a paramedic has given me a great background for expanding my career even further.”

medic and loved it.”

Burdette found that the HutchCC staff was encouraging and helpful from the moment she contacted them about the program and that being relatable and informative were two key aspects she appreciated about them and said, “They prepared, and set me up to succeed in a challenging career field.”

Burdette said she had an exceptional experience at HutchCC. She gained many friends and even met her husband Braden Burdette, who was also attending HutchCC at the time.

When Burdette was asked if she chose her school correctly, she said, “I enjoyed my time at HCC and definitely chose the right school. Some of my best college memories were from Hutch.”

Minimum wage slowly killing workers Our view In Kansas, minimum wage is $7.25 an hour.

That means jobs are legally required to only pay you seven dollars and twenty-five cents every hour.

For some people that’s not a big deal. If you’re still at home with little to no bills, you can work part time, get paid, and just have some extra spending cash. But for some of us, it’s almost impossible to make ends meet.

A survey from Citigroup recently found that nearly 80 percent of students work while attending school. We attend school five days a week, anywhere from two to seven hours a day.

Most of us get out of school and directly go to work until late into the night or even into the next day. We work ourselves to

the bone because we have to maintain scholarships and still be able to pay the bills we have.

It’s insane that we’re expected to work so much for so little.

According to the National Congress of State Legislation, over 15 states have gone into 2019 with higher minimum wage.

Yet Kansas stays at $7.25. It’s been that way for almost 10 years, ever since the federal minimum wage was changed in 2009.

Two of our neighboring states, Colorado and Nebraska, are over $2 more than us. There is no reason Kansas can’t raise minimum wage.

It is unrealistic and unfair to expect people to make it through life on $7.25.

The Women’s Corner

No longer a damsel in distress The evolution of how females are treated has changed drastically in the last century, and it is still continuing to change.

Sometimes, it may not seem like it with the not-so-positive situations that occur, but women have made an astonishing leap throughout history.

The reason this subject popped into my head, is from watching old time movies and how women were portrayed for these certain stereotypes. Recently, the shows that brought this to my attention is old-time westerns that have the badass hero who has to

Usually, I try to write articles that I find enjoyable to write.

I typically find something that I find to be relevant to something I find interesting that week. This week is different for an important reason. Although I enjoy writing enjoyable pieces, this week, I need to use my voice to speak up and prevent something horrible from happening to someone else.

This fall, I participated as an officer in the dormant Hutchinson Community College Business Club. Our officer team was only three members, but considering that a total of five to seven

just see this female character screaming her head off in the distance.

It’s like they think women couldn’t do anything for themselves, and would easily rely so heavily on a man. But all they could do was stand there and react instead of taking action.

Every time I watch these kind of shows, I just sit there staring at the screaming lady, acting so helpless, and I just question if she would shut her mouth and do something to help the situation, it could be so much better.

Instead of standing there screaming like them yelling

is going to do anything to make the situation better.

I think my biggest question is for the writers of these old time shows – was it a style choice, or did they really think that women couldn’t handle themselves or others unless it was in a home setting?

Because, I don’t know if it’s just the times that I grew up in, but even watching old-time shows where these female characters are so mentally and physically strong. Or at least smart enough to know that screaming isn’t going to help the situation.

I guess it’s hard for me

Be safe and speak up everything seemed to be better.

Everything was going well besides some problems with the club throughout the semester, and then January came. Specifically, the week of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Since I had a four-day weekend from work, I was able to leave Friday after my 11:30 a.m. class and return Monday night.

Since I had agreed to sell a textbook to this student, we decided to meet up with and make the exchange.

To make a long story short, Wednesday this student was at my dorm again

after my use of a half-truth to prevent them from coming over the night before.

A friend of mine happened to come down, wanting to use the study room that we were in, and while waiting on her friends, discovered that they had been arrested before.

The good news was that my friend ended up being able to get me away from this student by having a friend of mine from accounting last semester, ‘need my calculator’.

By the publication of this column, it will have been over a week since I have seen this student.

to wrap my head around the fact that women were seen, and sometimes are still seen, like fragile beings that can only take care of little children and the household.

Because nowadays, females are known the standing up for what they believe in. And to fight the stigma of how things were, and switch that to how things are nowadays.

hear that they have dropped out of HutchCC and left without a good portion of belongings.

In all honesty, I’m glad that I don’t have to see them, but I do fear that they will return to Hutch and try to contact me, which they will be unable to do because they are now blocked.

I have also slowly realized that their actions and words made little sense.

I hope that from sharing my experience, you learn that not everyone is who they seem.

Even if you think you know someone the best you possibly could, there is still a chance that they aren’t.

If you suspect that you could be in danger, please get help from someone you trust. Go to a professor, your advisor, or your Resident Assistant (if you live in HutchCC housing), find someone whom you trust on campus and tell them. If you don’t speak up, the risk of something worse happening is higher than just speaking out. Surround yourself with people you trust, and they will go the distance should something happen, or be happening, to you.

Unusual classes:

Don’t worry be happy

By Jared Shuff Staff writer Students are often overwhelmed by numerous assignments, campus activities, and work throughout the week. All this can make a student fall down in the dumps.

However, one course at Hutchinson Community College aims to help with all that existential dread.

At HutchCC, students can take a course that teaches them the meaning of happiness.

Psychology of Happiness (ED126) puts the emotion under a microscope, picking apart its meaning throughout many cultures and religions.

Christopher Lau, the Coordinator of Advising for the college, also happens to be the instructor for the course.

Lau said that the course started a few years ago in the spring of either 2015 or 2016.

However, it was not originally thought of as a college course.

In fact, it was initially aimed at a much younger generation of students.

“An honors student at that time, for her honors project, wanted to create a happiness curriculum for junior high kids,” Lau said.

Lau said the difficulties behind implementing this course for younger students, as there are many restrictions and requirements for parental consent. So, he suggested that the course should be directed toward college students.

“We worked out the details, she agreed, and so essentially she wrote the curriculum for the course that first semester and I taught it,” Lau said.

As expected from any new course, enrollment numbers started out low. There were

around eight students in the course for the first semester.

Those numbers didn’t stop the course from being a success.

Lau met up with Honors Coordinator Ryan Diehl and together they worked out a way to make it a two-credit hour course for the next Fall semester.

“It’s been full or almost full every time it’s offered. I think we have 24 in the current Lau class,” Lau said.

The course is split into two major parts. Part of the course is a focus on what happiness is, specifically how it is defined by other cultures and religions. There is also an emphasis on positive psychology taught in the course.

As for part two, a new theme is brought up and discussed each week. These themes work to cultivate habits to increase happiness.

Themes such as gratitude, kindness, and mindfulness are taught in the class each week, with happiness practices to follow. By the end of a semester, a student will have completed 20 to 25 happiness practices.

Out of everything the course has to offer, Lau wants students to walk away with the following lessons.

“I hope that (students) understand at the end of the class how important happiness is, that is something we can affect through intentional activity, and that they feel better equipped to understand themselves,” Lau said.

According said that students who have taken the course end up spreading the knowl-

edge they learned to friends, creating a chain reaction of happiness. Just another amazing reason to take this course.

The main point of this article is to spread the word about unique courses, as they are often underappreciated.

Katherine Sheldon, a freshman at HutchCC, had no idea this course even existed.

“I haven’t heard of the class, but I would love to take it,” Sheldon said.

This was without any context on what the course was even about. It goes to show how much students feel the need for happiness. Before being told what the course covers, Sheldon was asked what she believed the overall goal of the course was.

“The overall goal would be to achieve an understanding of how the brain makes a person happy and how surroundings affect being happy,” Sheldon said.

Sheldon hopes to become a Criminal Psychologist, which is why understanding happiness from a scientific view interests her. While the class has less to do with why people are happy and more to do with what happiness is, she still finds it interesting.

“I do think I would consider the class. I’d just want to know more about how happiness is triggered in the brain,” Sheldon said.

Fair enough, but the course still has so much to offer students. Everybody needs happiness in their lives, and this course understands that like no other.

So, if you’re unhappy and you know it, and your grades surely show it, maybe Psychology of Happiness is the class for you.

Brown has earned way to starting lineup for Blue Dragons

By Rebecca Carney Co-Sports Editor

For three straight games, Tyler Brown has been a starting guard for the Hutchinson Community College men’s basketball team.

For Brown, this has come as a bit of a surprise, since his playing time has not been where he would like it to be since the start of the season.

Brown, who played in high school at first Valley Center and then Derby, didn’t even play against Garden City, the game before this three-game run.

For Brown, whose first start came in the game against the Pratt Beavers, came as a bit of a shock. But then, like the flip of a switch, Brown has started in

three consecutive games.

“I went from the Garden City game, and then Coach (Steve) Eck told me that I was starting the next game,” Brown said. “I was just surprised, honestly. I wasn’t expecting that. I was just happy to have the opportunity.”

For Brown, starting in high school and starting in college have completely different feelings. It was a different feeling for Brown, but in a positive way. For him, the atmosphere is more intense, and it’s one that Brown liked and one that makes him feel more comfortable.

“I feel a lot more comfortable on the floor. I was a little bit nervous at the start of the sea-

son, because its just a different feel, and I had to get used to the new environment,” Brown said.

“I feel a lot more confident and comfortable. Everything is just starting to click together.”

Eck has made some changes to the starting lineup throughout the season, changes that seem to be helping the team play together as whole and on a more competitive level.

“Tyler is a competitor, and I felt like we were not competing as hard as we should be on defense,” Eck said. “So, I put Tyler in there because I wanted us to compete harder, and show everyone that every person is valuable to the team.”

Brown has shown just how valuable he is to the team, both offensively and defensively.

Brown shoots 36.9 percent from the floor and 39.1 percent from 3-point range. He shoots 82.6 percent from the free-throw line and averages 4.3 points per game.

In addition, he has had 10 steals throughout the season as well as bringing leadership to the court.

During his starts against Pratt, Dodge City and Colby, Brown has scored a total of 21 points.

“He brings leadership to the team, brings confidence to the team. The guys have confidence in him and they support him really well. It brings the team together more,” Eck said.

The week: Mitchell had a pair of big games in leading the Blue Dragons to two key Jayhawk West victories. Mitchell He first scored 20 points in just 23 minutes of action in a 98-90 overtime win at Dodge City. He added a couple rebounds and assists. Then, Mitchell had 17 points on 6 of 6 shooting and 4 of 4 shooting from 3-point range in Hutchinson’s 95-76 win against Colby.

The season: Mitchell, a native of Washington, is having a solid season for the Blue Dragons. Through 22 points, Mitchell is averaging 15.4 points, 3 rebounds and 1.4 assists a game while shooting 47.9 percent from the floor. He’s also a dead-eye 3-point shooter, having made 40.7 from behind the arc this season, but he’s been even better in conference play, where he’s made 43.4 percent (33 of 76).
