Students from the Department of Construction and Building Sciences at WSU, led by professor Jeremy Farner and project manager Janae Thomas, recently built a Net-Zero Energy efficient home.

The home was built with the help of various sub-contractors and is a top 10 finalist in the 2020 Department of Energy Solar Decathlon collegiate competition.

“Fifty-plus students, 20-plus subcontractors, Ogden City and so many more folks benefitted from the education, the in-field training and energy efficiency advances this home showcases,” Thomas said. “These are the game changers of the future.”

Located at 2087 Quincy Ave., the home was built on a lot that sat vacant for 10 years. Ogden City agreed to make the lot available to show its commit-

ment to revitalizing historic neighborhoods.

Students and the supervisors began construction on the home in early January and worked hard on the project for almost two months. In March, the outbreak of COVID-19 created a serious stumbling block for the crew.

“We were going just fine until March hit and COVID kicked our butt,” Farner said.

To protect the health and well-being of students working on the project, university leaders said students could no longer assist with the project.

Despite the loss of the majority of the working crew, Thomas and Farner were able to complete the home with the assistance of subcontractors.

The home is outfitted with many sustainable and energy-efficient features highlighted by the 39 rooftop solar panels.

Farner says the panels generate enough energy to not only

power the home but to also run an electric car for up to 20 miles per day.

In the state of Utah, where the majority of electricity comes from burning coal, the home’s ability to generate its own electricity benefits the environment by eliminating potential greenhouse gas emissions and puts money in the pocket of its future owner.

“It’ll cost around $100 annually to power this home,” Farner said. “A more traditional home will probably cost you roughly $1,000 to $1,300 to power annually. So you’re saving money the second you move into the home.”

Now that it is completed, the home is listed on the market and will be available for bids until Oct. 1.

With 2,540 square feet, six bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a full basement, the house is listed at $345,000. The price is enough to just recoup the cost of construction.

Parties who submit offers on the home get their names put in a drawing on Oct. 9. The drawing will determine what party gets the home.

The money will go into a revolving fund so students can build more homes like this one in the future. This will allow students to have hands-on experience with the latest sustainable building techniques and materials.

“We have to build differently than in the past,” Thomas said.

“Our air quality depends on better built housing, thoughtful city planning and emphasis in energy efficiency.”

As for the 2020 Department of Energy Solar Decathlon competition, the crew must wait until April to hear whether or not the home has won the competition; but, until then, Thomas says they have their fingers crossed.

As the Department Chair of the Foreign Languages department and a professor of Spanish, Isabel Asensio describes herself as a language lover.

More than five years ago, Asensio realized WSU students wanted to know more about the application of languages.

“When we traditionally study languages and cultures, we study a lot of literature, but that’s not every student’s favorite,” Asensio said.

Thinking of alternatives to literature put Asensio on the path of considering other instructional opportunities for teaching languages.

“Translation has always been considered an old-fashioned way of learning languages,” Asensio said. “Translation is more than just a

way to teach languages; I think it has a very important value. It has been a field of study for centuries.”

Asensio asked for permission to teach some classes in translation, and said that the courses immediately became popular. With increased interest, the department created a major in Spanish translation.

They also created a minor in localization, which Asensio described as being like a sister field in translation and interpretation. Language localization means adapting translations to fit the culture of a specific country or region.

With those programs in place, Asensio thought more about what else could be done.

She wanted to do more than typical events like open houses and film series.

Asensio decided to create translation week in celebration of international translation day, which is Sept. 30. The week is meant to show-

Flags of all nationality flap in the wind.

case the programs they created. Last year was the first ever translation week.

“I hope we can make translation week an annual thing,” Asensio said. “Each year I want to be able to add more events; last year, we only had three events and this year we have four.”

The featured events this year are a contest of bad translations, a presentation from three medical interpreters at Intermountain Healthcare, a presentation from the United Nations in New York and a talk from two recently-hired professors who have their degrees in translation. The last activity of the week will be a discussion about the movie “Arrival.”

“This year we’re really focusing on interpretations,” Asensio said. “Many people don’t know the difference between translations and interpretations. Translation is all about the written text and interpreting is all about oral. There are actually different modes of in-

terpretation, one is consecutive and the other simultaneous.”

While the events this year are virtual, Asensio said watching the students learn and want to take the courses is always her favorite part.

“The positive reactions are always my ultimate goal, I wanted the students to realize that there’s more to translation than just teaching,” Asensio said. “We use translation in our everyday lives. People know Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings because of translators.

Translation is actually a multi-billion dollar field.”

Asensio said she wants students to give translations and the foreign languages department a try.

“Students always have the option of saying no, but until they give us a try, they might not know what they’re missing,” she said.

Goodier showed her favorite suffrage political cartoon, titled “Age of Brass/or the Triumphs of Women’s Rights.”

By LISSETE LANDAVERDE Reporter

Suffrage and anti-suffrage ideas weren’t just expressed through protests and oration; sometimes, activists expressed their thoughts through cartoons.

Susan Goodier, lecturer of history at SUNY Oneonta and member of the Organization of American Historians’ (OAH) Distinguished Lectureship Program, presented a lecture on political cartoons and suffrage activism through Zoom on Aug. 27, along with a Q&A Zoom session on Sept. 23, as part of the Beyond Suffrage lecture series.

Goodier started by showing her favorite piece, titled “Age of Brass/or the Triumphs of Women’s Rights,” which depicts what people thought would happen if women got the right to vote.

The piece shows women smoking, showing their legs and being rude to their husbands, among other negative traits.

Cartoons from 1869 up to the 1920s showed imagery similar to that piece, even after women got the right to vote.

Those who opposed women’s suffrage feared women would abandon traditional housewife duties if they had the right to vote.

“For many people of the 19th century and early 20th century, it was horrifying to think that women could leave the home and be out in public,” Goodier said.

Many of the cartoons drawn by anti-suffragists showed women outside the home, disrupting society and the typical gender roles. A common theme seen in anti-suffrage cartoons was depicting women who sought political roles in unflattering ways since they would be running against the then-expectation of women being quiet, gentle and away from the public sphere.

On the other hand, suffragists leveraged the traditional views on women to express themselves in their political cartoons. They often drew women us-

ing domestic traits — such as cleaning, cooking and organizing — to clean up politics and the corruption within.

“It’s interesting to see that a number of political cartoons show women in that domestic light,” Goodier said. “It’s like appropriating the domestic capabilities of women and putting them in a positive political light.”

Cartoonists also displayed trains and cars in many political cartoons during the time period. One example shown was a train labeled “Woman Suffrage,” clearing the way of negative ideas society had at the time.

With the passage of the 15th Amendment, which gave voting rights to African American men, suffragists made cartoons depicting it as oppression toward mostly white women, saying it was unacceptable and inappropriate.

With the onset of World War I, political cartoons began looking more militaristic, depicting women as peaceful or as destroyers of war.

At the same time, women in New York were still fighting for the right to vote.

Women in the West who were able to vote would hold political parades and would write articles in attempts to get New York women the same opportunities they had.

After New York women were able to vote, most of the suffragists’ energy went to making a federal amendment to grant women suffrage.

During this period, anti-suffrage cartoons depicted suffragists making friends with President Woodrow Wilson, despite him being an anti-suffragist himself. He then changed his perspective, seeing suffragists’ support and activism as an effective war measure.

After the war ended, the Senate agreed to give women the right to vote with the 19th Amendment in 1919.

Neuroscience Mindfulness Lectures

Remind Us to Stay

in the Moment

By JOSHUA KAMP

Reporter

WSU’s Neuroscience Lecture Series explores mindfulness this fall, its effects on anxiety, addiction and overall health, timed to coincide with a season of numerous challenges of mental and emotional wellbeing.

Dr. Joel Skaria, a psychology and neuroscience professor, kicked off the lecture series on Sept. 16 on Zoom to address the importance of remaining mindful, or mentally and emotionally present, in times of stress or uncertainty. He spoke of his own experiences and how mindfulness practices helped him get through the period shortly after he graduated college before he was an established professional.

“I was working through what I wanted to do,” Skaria said. “Processing these big, existential questions in that time of uncertainty.

My thoughts were kind of leading me to catastrophic thoughts about the future and ruminating on past mistakes. Maybe I should have gone to law school or done this or that…”

Anxious thinking is a slippery slope, caused by “mental time travel,” or projecting ourselves into an unnerving vision of the future or into an embarrassing past memory. When we practice mindfulness, we have the ability to tell ourselves, “regardless of what actions I could have taken or what is going to exist in the future, I have the ability to focus my attention on things that I think are important now,

and I want to foster my ability of paying attention to the present moment,” Skaria said.

The lecture series and the neuroscience program are supported by the College of Health Professions, Science and Social and Behavioral science, which all relate to the wide-ranging studies in neuroscience. The program brings many different perspectives and disciplines together at Weber State.

“It’s one of the only true inter-college programs on campus,” said Dr. Aminda O’Hare, director of the neuroscience program and the organizer of the lecture series.

Dr. Jim Hutchins of the health professions department is another of the primary neuroscience faculty, approaching from a health and medicine perspective. Dr. Elizabeth Sandquist from the zoology department approaches with the interest of behavioral neuroscience. She uses zebra fish and stem cell models in order to better understand human neural activity by proxy.

“I’m what you would call a cognitive and affective neuroscientist,” O’Hare said. “My own research looks at mindfulness, meditation, how it can change your relationship to anxiety and attention. I study how our emotions impact our ability to think.”

Dr. O’Hare is in her second year at Weber, after previously teaching at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, and took over as director of the program in May. O’Hare will speak at her own lecture in the series on Oct.

6 at 3 p.m.

“If you talk to any of my students, they’ll tell you that I start my classes with mindfulness practices,” O’Hare said.

O’Hare says that almost every college student is, to some degree, effected by anxiety, which can be combatted through mindfulness.

“None of us are going to have a stressfree life, but the goal is to help people build skills that can make us a bit more resilient, a bit more skillful at coping when life does get stressful,” O’Hare said.

Also featured in the series is Dr. Judson Brewer, author of “The Craving Mind: From Cigarettes to Cupcakes to Smartphones, the Mechanisms Underlying How Mindfulness Helps Change Habits and Overcome Addiction,” who gave a TED Talk in 2016 on breaking bad habits. Brewer’s perspective seems to be an evolutionary one: certain behaviors that enabled our survival in the distant past are hard-wired in our brains and sometimes work against us in the lifestyle of modern humanity.

Through a recurring system of trigger, behavior and reward, Brewer said in the TED Talk, our behaviors are enforced regardless of whether they are healthy. He uses mindfulness practice to help people break out of addictive behavior, substance abuse and eating disorders.

“Mindfulness is just about being really interested in getting close and personal with what’s actually happening in our bodies and

minds from moment to moment,” Brewer said.

Brewer will present on Oct. 23 at 2 p.m andto close out the series, Jason Cowell, vice-chair of psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, will present in November. Cowell is interested in neural processes of young children, especially related to empathy. “He studies morality and how morality develops in children, using neuroscience as a tool to look at how their perception of morality changes over time,” O’Hare said of Cowell.

His lecture will be via Zoom on Nov. 19 at 2 p.m.

With all of these diverse and seemingly unrelated topics covered with neuroscience, it may be hard for someone on the outside to see who the neuroscience program is made for. “I think it’s a great compliment to any field where understanding humans is really valuable,” O’Hare said. “It gives a really good backbone to any kind of human professions, be it medicine, social services, education. It is understanding the human condition at the level of mechanics, the actual hardware and software that we have going on.”

All students who are interested are welcome to attend the lecture series by registering on the WSU website.

The Counseling Center is currenlty under office construction, but they are still helping students and taking appointments virtually.

By FRANCIA HENRIQUEZ BENSON

Asst. Section Editor

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues its rampage throughout the state and much of the United States, mental health has taken many hits. As a result of the increased mental health problems, the Weber State Counseling and Psychological Services Center has been offering more mental health resources to students.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, a spike in mental health problems, substance use and suicidal ideation occurred from June 24 to 30. The CDC reports that the deterioration of mental health is related to COVID-19’s impact on people.

COVID-19 has increased depression and anxiety in college students due to the lack of social interaction, financial pressure and an atmosphere of general worry.

Student’s lives have been disrupted in multiple ways, and the new normal is one that lacks personal touch and togetherness.

When the pandemic hit in early March,

college students were asked to pack their belongings and move out of campus, if they were able to. Many of them lost their jobs and cut physical contact with their classmates and friends to isolate.

Humans are a social species, and we like contact and social interaction. The new class delivery methods make it harder for students to make friends and have social relationships.

Health guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19, such as sitting six feet apart and wearing a mask in the classroom and on campus, make associations with peers difficult.

Some students involuntarily have to stay away from elderly parents to avoid spreading the potentially-fatal virus. Not being able to see the people they love puts a strain on their emotional well-being.

Political events such as the massive protests that have been happening taking place around the country and hostility on social media are contributing factors.

College events that students look forward to are getting canceled or are being held vir-

tually.

The Weber State University Counseling and Psychological Services Center offers a wide variety of services. At the moment, due to office construction, services are provided virtually.

Students can receive up to 12 therapy sessions per academic year from the Counseling Center free of cost. The center reassures individuals that their information will be kept confidential.

The Counseling Center offers various services to help students with behavioral, emotional and personality disorders. They also offer services for people who are coming out or defining their sexual identity.

Since the onset of the pandemic this year, the Counseling Center has also been helping students better deal with stresses that come alongside living during a time of a pandemic.

The center also provides Therapy Assistance Online (TAO), a self-enrolled, self-help and self-paced option. It allows students to access free online mental health educational modules to learn about anxiety and depression

and change how students think and feel.

N. John-Evan Waite from the Utah Strong Recovery Project said that due to the rise of anxiety and stress related to the pandemic more people in general have been seeking psychological support.

The Counseling Center offers resources for students struggling with anxiety and trauma caused by wearing face masks. Counselors are trained to help students identify their emotions and teach them to deal with those emotions.

While COVID-19 affects people differently, it is causing more distress in younger adults, racial and ethnic minorities, essential workers and unpaid adult caregivers, according to the CDC’s website. The site states that these groups are experiencing a rise in substance use and upraised suicidal ideation.

On the Weber State University Counseling and Psychological Services Center’s website, students will find a link to a training module to get educated about suicide symptoms.

POLITICAL CYBERBULLYING

By FRANCIA HENRIQUEZ BENSON Columnist

When we were children, bullies threatened us to give them our lunch or money. As adults, bullying is much less straightforward. One form of bullying is political cyberbullying, where online accounts try to threaten others for their political views.

These cyberbullies resort to insults, belittling and public humiliation to force individuals to accept their beliefs or silence them.

Politics have invaded personal social media spaces, and what was intended to be a place for connection and sharing happy moments has become a boxing ring. The louder or meaner the better, and the most disrespectful win the match.

Political bullies can ruin someone’s life and cause people to lose their jobs and reputation due to false accusations. Some Trump supporters are being accused of being homophobic and racist. Some Biden supporters are being

accused of being socialists and of wanting a free ride in life.

No one wants to be accused and hated for being homophobic or racist, so people hide in an oyster and withhold their opinions.

Once the wrong information is out, it spreads like wildfire.

Sharing political views is exercising our freedom of speech, and people should respect it regardless if views are contrary to their beliefs. However, posting personal political preferences on social media can be dangerous for one’s social standing. People get harassed and humiliated in public and through private messages.

Social media sites are a factor in political polarization and the division of Americans in contentious issues.

We are living in a time when people don’t fact-check. Instead, they believe what they perceive or what someone else interpreted.

It appears there isn’t a place for civil debates where one feels safe to voice their opinions anymore. It is becoming common to screenshot someone’s comments on social media and look for this person’s workplace to send their boss a screenshot.

This practice is adding up to all the stressors people are going through.

The phrase “delete me if you don’t agree with me” is becoming very popular. Respect

for diversity is a thing of the past. What’s trendy in 2020 is to unfriend, block or hide those whose personal beliefs are different from ours.

A study conducted by the Pew Research Center found that almost 20 percent of social media users have blocked, unfriended or hidden someone because of their political posts.

This kind of behavior far-reaches consequences for democracy and civil relationships.

Political bullies threaten democracy. Citizens are supposed to have the freedom to vote for whomever they want or to not vote at all.

Social media is integral to people’s lives, and it has numerous advantages. One of those advantages is getting involved in debates and exchange of information.

But when debates become fights, we devolve into the eternal and nonsensical fight between Republicans and Democrats, which divides the country’s citizens.

We must all defend our right to speak our minds and refuse to be silenced.

A popular tactic used by political bullies is to misrepresent one’s argument to make it easier to attack.

For example: “Democrats don’t want gun control, they want to abolish the Second Amendment.”

“If Trump doesn’t pay taxes, clearly Republi-

cans think no one should pay taxes.”

We all must make use of our wisdom and common sense to choose a candidate. Let’s not give in to the manipulation.

Mature people won’t try to shove their political agendas down your throat. They will understand that choosing for whom to vote is a personal choice, and it is the exercising of democracy.

The first step to voting smart is to study each candidate’s biographies, experience, what they support and what they are against. Vote Smart is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide unbiased information about political candidates. Citizens must make informed voting decisions.

Let’s not forget that there are more than two political parties. It is time to give other parties a chance.

Our vote should be decided with our brains and not with our hearts. However, we must think about the common good without leaving behind our personal interests..
