Faculty Senate holds first meeting of the school year Monday

BY JENNA FARHAT

The Faculty Senate meets for the first time this semester Monday.

On the agenda are a new academic integrity policy, introductions to new faculty members, and new senate leadership roles.

Also on the agenda are planned collaborations with the Student Government Association, Unclassified Professional Senate, and University Support Staff Senate.

The Faculty Senate president for the 2018-2019 school year is Betty Smith-Campbell, who previously served as a faculty senator representing the nursing department.

The Faculty Senate serves as a representative forum for Wichita State faculty members. The senate serves as the voice of WSU faculty members on issues of university governance.

Members of the Faculty Senate are elected to serve. The senate is comprised of faculty members representing the liberal arts and sciences, business, engineering, fine arts, health professions, and applied studies (formerly education) colleges.

The Faculty Senate meets 3:30 to 5 p.m. on the second and fourth Monday of every month in Clinton Hall Room 126. Meetings are open to the public.

Anonymous donor gives Wichita State $5 million for new business school building

BY ANDREW LINNABARY

A $5 million pledge has been committed toward a new school of business building at Wichita State, a university news release said.

The pledge, which came from a donor who wished to remain anonymous, puts the total private donations toward the building at $26.7 million, the release said. WSU’s goal was to have at least $25 million of the $50 million goal come from private donors.

A new home for the W. Frank

Barton School of Business is the top priority of the WSU Foundation’s Shock the World campaign, the release said.

The new building will replace Clinton Hall, built in 1970, and will be located on the Innovation Campus. The building will be named Wayne and Kay Woolsey Hall, in recognition of the Woolseys’ $10 million donation to the project earlier this year.

The WSU Foundation will continue to seek out campus and community partners to donate to the project, the release said.

Man shot at Fairmount Park early Saturday morning, not cooperating with investigation, Wichita police say

BY JENNA FARHAT

Police say a man was shot at Fairmount Park early Saturday morning. The park is just south of Wichita State’s campus across 17th Street.

At around 3 a.m. Wichita police officers arrived to Fairmount Park where they found multiple shell casings.

Nearly 10 minutes later, police say a 24-year-old man arrived at an area hospital with a gunshot wound to his

leg. Wichita police believe the man was shot at Fairmount Park.

Wichita Police Department’s Public Information Officer Charley Davidson said the incident was not random and the man who was shot is not cooperating with the ongoing investigation.

Wichita police ask that anyone with information on the incident call Crime Stoppers at 316-267-2111 or Wichita Police Department detectives at 316-268-4407.

Police: Nothing about Heskett incident rises to threat of human trafficking

BY ANDREW LINNABARY

After making the public aware of an alleged human trafficking attempt that took place Thursday outside of the Heskett Center, WSU police said Friday there was nothing about the event that “rises to the idea of there being a credible threat (of human trafficking).”

The department’s initial social media post described a woman approaching young women “fairly aggressively” outside the Heskett Center tennis courts. She then asked the women she approached about joining a Bible study class.

There was also a report of a woman approaching students and asking them to join a Bible study on August 20 at Shocker Hall, posted in the police department’s crime log. Bob Hinshaw, interim police chief, said there are five open cases about similar Bible study solicitations.

WSU police became aware of Thursday’s alleged trafficking attempts via social media reports from Wichita State students.

Hinshaw said to KWCH, who followed up after reporting by The Sunflower, that the department’s post “was meant to encourage students to be proactive,” but emphasized that they currently have no proof that human trafficking was actually attempted.

Sexual exploitation and human trafficking can be reported to the WSU police at 978-3450.

T

he first week of classes has come to an end, and another thrilling edition of the Clash of the Colleges is in the books.

The competition was fierce, but the Barton School of Business took home the banner, holding off the College of Engineering, with Fine Arts rounding out the podium.

The true winner, however, was the student body.

With each college represented by their most devoted students, the university as a whole grows closer through each lighthearted event. Additionally, the intra-college bonding builds unity among classmates.

Universities exist to impart knowledge upon their students, but there also exists the need to create unity and cooperation among peers. This is something that the Clash does perhaps better than any other event on campus. Though the objectives are far from those that will be faced in the workforce, the cooperation and communication

JOSEPH BARRINGHAUS/THE SUNFLOWER

The College of Applied Studies shows their moves in Clash of the Colleges. The competition was held Friday, Aug. 24, 2018 at Cessna Stadium.

skills exhibited by each college are necessary for students to be successful in any field.

On occasion, the colleges even found occasion to support each other. During the tug of war competition, for instance, the engineering students were seen cheering on the College of Health Professions — much to the chagrin of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Although there is much to be said about the unity Clash fostered, the tribalism created between the schools was apparent. During competition, each school separated themselves. Single groups of green, red, yellow, orange, purple, and blue left the viewer to believe more in the division of these groups than the unity that the event was meant to inspire.

Now that Clash is over, there

are few events that will bring students together in the same way.

Individual colleges will have their specific events throughout the year, but larger scale, inter-college competition on that scale only happens once a year.

If you missed out on Clash, you should definitely mark your calendars for next year, when you can help your college claim a little piece of Wichita State history.

SUNFLOWER EDITORIAL BRIEFS The Sunflower editorial board offers their one-sentence takes.

Matthew Kelly: There’s merit in a plus-minus grading system, but nothing is more cruel than an A-.

Andrew Linnabary: It must be convenient for the fledgling musicians to have the drugs and studio so close to each other with Shocker Studios opening at the Harry Street shopping center.

Madeline Deabler: Liberal Arts is still here.

Jenna Farhat: Sigmund Freud was right.

John Darr: Art you have strong, negative reactions towards almost always has great value.

Evan Pflugradt: Thanks, McCain.

Daniel Caudill: Local newsrooms should be locally owned.

Selena Favela: Get rid of Regal Theaters in Wichita.

Joseph Barringhaus: Wichita State sincerely needs a Whataburger and a Cane’s next to each other.

Letter to the editor: Andrew Martin I love my university. When I interviewed for the position of Student Government Association (SGA) Director of Public Relations, that was my opening statement. That love is what guides every step and every word when I’m on campus. It stems from the ambition, inspiration, and knowledge I encounter daily among the many classes I take, student organizations I represent, and friends I make around campus.

Every day — I kid you not — I find someone who loves Shocker Nation as much as I do.

I hope that you share this love of Shocker Nation, too, because there is so much to experience here. Being a student at WSU means more than sitting in lectures and studying for exams. In the classroom, we frequently transcend traditional teaching structures with discussion, case-in-point learning, and applied research. In the halls and on the lawns, dozens of student organizations enrich the programming around campus a with myriad of cultures and worldviews.

With so much love, and with so many cultures and worldviews, conflict will frequently arise.

Conflict is a wonderful thing because it reveals that everyone has a different vision for the future of WSU, and that there are individuals advocating for that

ANDREW MARTIN SGA DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC RELATIONS

future. Conflict is also a reliable indicator of motion. Unfortunately, sometimes it’s hard to know the direction of that motion, and sometimes people are left out as things move along.

No one should be left behind.

My job as SGA Director of Public Relations is to make sure that as many people as possible see the motion of Wichita State as it happens, and to make sure that as many stakeholders as possible are communicating with each other.

I want to lift up the accomplishments of students and organizations at WSU, and I want to make sure that their voices are being projected in Senate.

A word of caution: we have a long road ahead of us this year, and lots of room for progress. I’m not perfect, and neither is SGA. Mistakes will happen, and we will learn from them together as a student body.

I trust The Sunflower to be the vanguard of student opinion if you don’t feel heard.

I trust The Sunflower and the dozens of student organizations on campus to support Shocker Nation because I’ve witnessed your passion, your fury, and your conversations over the last three years.

Wichita State harbors one of the richest and most talented student communities around. We’ll weather storms and build bridges because our hearts are in the game.

My boss, Kenon, says, “Let’s show some confidence and deference for Wichita State.” He means that Kansas looks to Wichita State to do what’s right, because we always have done it right. Let’s show some Shocker pride.

If you need anything from me this year, my email is posted below.

WSUPD’s crime log wasn’t updated for about a month.

Here’s some of what you missed.

BY ANDREW LINNABARY

The Wichita State Police Department didn’t update their crime log for most of July and part of August, during the time the university was rolling out their new website.

Here are some crime highlights you may have missed in that time.

A man at the Coleman Tennis Complex had the police called on him for alleged illegal gambling on July 2, the crime log said. The police asked the man to leave.

An “individual,” not identified as a man or woman, was hit during a basketball game at the Heskett Center on July 5. The incident is under investigation as battery, according to the crime log.

Heskett Center staff found a used bullet on the tennis courts July 11.

The bullet was turned over to police.

On July 11, another used bullet was found and turned over to police, this time at the Coleman Tennis Complex.

On July 26, a man committed suicide at 5400 E 21, the location of Woodgate apartments. WSU police had previously helped handle a suicidal person at a separate location

earlier in the day.

Also on July 26, faulty wiring caused a water fountain to catch fire in Grace Wilkie Hall.

August’s first crime log entry is at Morrison Hall — where the president’s office and post office are located — with a letter “that was concerning to staff” in the post office.

A police report was filed.

A student in Grace Wilkie Hall, the liberal arts and sciences advising center, made threatening statements to an advisor on August 7.

On August 15, the police were called on a man peeing in the bushes in lot 37, near Innovation Boulevard and Airbus. “The male was contacted,” the police department’s crime log entry said.

On August 18, there was a “report of a woman vomiting.” She was transported to the hospital by EMS, the crime log entry said.

On August 21, a pickup truck and a golf cart collided.

Also on August 21, police were called to Shocker Hall because of “the smell of marijuana and possibly marijuana in a trash can.” The supposed marijuana in the trash can was tobacco from a cigar.

alk south of the Brennan Hall Career Development Center into Fairmount Park. Under an oak tree, perched atop a wooden stanchion, you’ll notice a compartment with a TV screen-sized door that remains curiously unlocked at all hours of the day.

Within are volumes of classic literature, magazines, newspapers, and journals. Community literacy advocates at the Story Time Village interest group term these miniature book caches “little public libraries.”

Books are all free.

Passersby are allowed to open the unlocked doors, take a book and put one in its place.

“It’s a give a book, take a book system,” said Story Time Village CEO Prisca Barnes.

Barnes said that with the implementation of the little public libraries, she hopes to target parts of the Wichita community where youth might have little access to reading materials.

“The goal is to eliminate book deserts and to provide access to books for families in underserved communities,” she said Story Time Village partnered with Wichita State community liaisons to create the Literacy, Entrepreneurship, and the Arts Project (LEAP).

Darryl Carrington, treasurer

of the Fairmount Neighborhood Association, said the program would help promote literacy.

“It’s ultimately about wanting to create libraries in homes,” Carrington said.

Fairmount Park’s free little public library was installed during the 2016-2017 schoolyear.

Carrington likened the implementation of LEAP’s little public libraries to the productivity of a bee pollinating a flower.

“In the same way a bee pollinates a flower so that it will bloom, we put the Little Public Libraries in place because the aim is to create more readers which will be essential to innovations later on.”

Wichita based lumber materials manufacturers Crate Tech are responsible for the actual construction of LEAP’s little public libraries.

However, other locals benefactors have expressed interest in assisting Story Time Village in their efforts to add on to their five current locations.

President of the Center of Behavioral and Academic Research Charles Knowles said his group would like to helping build more free little public libraries.

“We’re interested because we work with foster kids and children who have been expelled from schools in Sedgwick County,” Knowles said. “So If we start to build more of these, then we could really get people involved.”

W

BY EVAN PFLUGRADT

ichita State has locked softball Head Coach Kristi Bredbenner into a long-term contract.

Bredbenner came to terms for a 5-year extension, WSU Athletic Director Darron Boatright said. Bredbenner will receive a salary of $120,000 per year. Her previous contract, which was set to expire June 30, 2021, was valued at $93,000 per year.

“With the success that she’s had, we thought it was best to have her locked in,” Boatright said. “It was the right time.”

Bredbenner has a record of 202-181at WSU. Ryne Stefankiewicz and Elizabeth Economon, Bredbenner’s two assistant coaches, will each receive a $5,000 pay increase this year and the two years following, Boatright said.

Boatright said long-term contracts are sought after in

“WITH THE SUCCESS THAT SHE’S HAD, WE THOUGHT IT WAS BEST TO HAVE HER LOCKED IN. IT WAS THE RIGHT TIME.” ­ DARRON BOATRIGHT, — WSU ATHLETIC DIRECTOR

female sports such as softball and volleyball because of the roles they play in recruiting.

“In female sports, for whatever reason, they tend to recruit younger and younger,” Boatright said. “You have, literally, freshmen and sophomores in high school making decisions on where they’re going to play.”

High school athletes cannot sign a letter of intent until they reach their junior year. Boatright said a coaching change could prompt high school athletes to decommit before officially signing to a program.

“You’re recruiting three or four classes down the road,” Boatright said. “If you have a coaching transition, you’re going to have a lot of instability.”

Boatright said the pay increase is “a pledge of confidence to Kristi (Bredbenner) and the job she has done with the program.”

Last year, in her seventh season at WSU, Bredbenner led the school to its second straight NCAA Regional birth and first ever regional final.

She owns two of the program’s four NCAA Tournament appearances.

“This commitment to the program sends a message to our recruits and the softball community that Wichita State is fully invested into the success of its softball program,” Bredbenner said in a statement.

WSU considered other coaching salaries for regional competitors and conference

competitors in settling on Bredbenner’s raise. Coaches in the American Athletic Conference are paid more than those in the Missouri Valley Conference, Boatright said.

“You’ll see, in coming years, us make adjustments to coaches’ contracts to make sure we’re on the same playing field with other programs,” Boatright said. “We’re committed to getting more aligned with the rest of the league.”

Softball coaches at public institutions in the American Athletic Conference earn as much as $150,000 per year.

Private institutions are not required to disclose salary information.

“We want to compete for championships in our conference, and we want to have teams that are competitive enough to make NCAA Tournaments with the chance to advance,” Boatright said.

“This helps ensure we stay competitive.”
