WELCOME LETTERS
University President greets incoming Bearcats Welcome to Bearcat Nation! You’re beginning a journey that places you among more than 70,000 enthusiastic Northwest alumni and friends, and you’ll soon discover why the phrase “Once a Bearcat, always a Bearcat” has such deep meaning to all of us. Fall is an exciting time at Northwest as we welcome new and returning students to our beautiful campus and Maryville community. You and your fellow students are what make Northwest such a vibrant organization, and we are committed to focusing on your success – every day. I realize that it can be intimidating to start life at a new school, but one of the many great things Northwest offers is a wide range of activities just for students. I encourage you to get involved in any number of our more than 170 student or-
ganizations. It’s an ideal way to meet new friends, and research shows the more engaged you are, the better your chances are for success. Of course, you came to college to further your education. While it is important for you to take responsibility by being prepared for class, attending and being engaged in class, Northwest professors also care immensely about your success. Ask questions. Seek assistance. You’ll soon find out that our unique hands-on learning experiences, caring faculty and small class sizes mean you will master your course material while finding lifelong mentors in your professors. By selecting Northwest, you’ve also become an integral part of a tradition of excellence. From nationally recognized academic and athletic achievements to award-

your classmates accomplish during your time at Northwest – and beyond! I also want you to know that your feedback about life at Northwest is important to me.

WELCOME LETTERS
Student Senate President welcomes new students My name is Cody Uhing, I am the president of the 91st Student Senate, and I want to welcome you to your first year at Northwest. You are going to have some of your greatest experiences during these next few years, and you could not have chosen a better school. These next few weeks will give you the chance to learn about all Northwest has to offer students. The University sports a wide array of student organizations. You can find an organization that matches your interests
and connects you with others, and if you cannot find one that suits you, you can create your own. Of the more than 150 organizations on campus, I recommend taking a look at Student Senate. Freshmen can run for four open seats to represent their fellow students or join as associate members who participate in meetings. The greatest part about getting involved in Student Senate is it allows students to guide the future of the University and become more involved on campus. We come from all
different corners of campus to represent student interest to Senate. When I came here freshman year I was the only person from my small town in Nebraska on campus. I never would have imagined how far I would come after joining Senate my freshman year. I definitely did not know I would be the president. It just goes to show that you never know what will happen unless you jump in feet first. You are going to love Northwest. You’ll hear it again and again, but get
CODY UHING
involved and make the best of your time here. I hope your time here is the
best years of your life and once again, welcome to our Northwest family.

WELCOME LETTERS
Missourian editor doles out quick tips TREY WILLIAMS Editor-in-Chief | @trey3williams
Hey freshmen, and all you transfer students, I’d like to take this opportunity to tell you what I’ve learned about how to be a successful student at Northwest… but that’s not really my thing. What I can tell you is how to make the most of your time here and be a successful member of Bearcat Nation. My first piece of advice to you is get involved in whatever you can and do it early. You don’t have to wait until you figure out what you want to do in life before testing it out, that’s what college is for, dummy. Speaking of which, if you’re coming in and you don’t know what you want to do, don’t worry, it’s OK. Your mom or dad may say otherwise, but trust me, right now they’re just glad you’re in college and out of the house. Let’s talk about where you’ll be living for the next eight months, shall we? You’re roommate will undeniably suck. Yeah, you might have been friends in high school, but hey, you’re not in high school anymore.
Take the time you’ll undoubtedly need away from your roommate and make some friends. There is nothing quite like dorm living. You’ll meet great people, weird people and start making memories, as long as you get out there. Take a step outside of your dorm though, get some friends in different departments, cliques and with different views. This will just make you a better person. More than likely, no one knows you here. Whatever you were made fun of for in high school or whatever your reputation was… it’s gone, take advantage. Since we’re on the subjects of making friends and getting involved, some people will tell you that going Greek means you’re paying for friends. Don’t listen to them. Joining a fraternity or sorority I’m sure has it’s benefits, but don’t do it just because a friend of yours is or because your parents did. If it fits you, then do it. That’s all I have for you. I wish you the best of luck; you’ll love it here. Don’t forget to smile big on your first day.

ENTERTAINMENT
City offers ways to pass the time COREY FROM Features Editor | @morfyeroc
Maryville has a reputation for being a decently sized town, that has nothing to do. For the most part, that’s fairly accurate, but the community offers a few things that students can do to have a good time. For starters, the local movie theater, The Hangar, has five screens that show a different movie on each, and one of the theaters is a dinner theater. It is generally good about getting all of the hit movies, and the environment, along with the staff, is welcoming and makes for something fun to go do if you’re bored on a Friday night. Besides great food, Carson’s Sports Grille offers free pool and jukebox plays on Thursday nights. Go in, grab a burger, and play some pool with some buddies. If you’re of age, some of the local taverns offer a good time on the weekends. And as long as the bar age law doesn’t change, students who are 19 can go and at least enjoy the sober side of the bars,

which includes pool, darts, music and dancing. Maryville’s own Mozingo Lake houses some of the more exciting things the town has to offer. If you’re here for the summer, or it’s still blistering hot on a Saturday (which tends to happen until November in Maryville some years), go out and enjoy the beach. The lake also has great fishing spots. But one of the best kept secrets that Mozingo has to offer is MOERA. It’s a recreational course designed to develop leadership and teamwork abilities. But honestly, get a group of 5-10 people, and go out there for a day and enjoy all the different courses. Another one of Maryville’s bestkept secrets is right in your backyard. All along the west side of campus, intertwined between the soccer pitches, the basketball and tennis courts, is a Frisbee golf course. Don’t laugh. Give it a chance some day, but try to go out when it’s not too windy, or you’ll be disappointed. A Frisbee costs 10 bucks. Go out with three or four people and give it a try.

CLASSROOM
Classroom etiquette key to student success TORI BAIGI Chief Reporter | @ToriBaigi
Unfortunately, rules on how to behave well in a classroom are not presented in each professor’s syllabus. Etiquette in a college setting is something students learn with experience; however, there are some basic tips students can abide by. DOs 1. Show up During the first year, without parental supervision, it can be difficult for students to make it to class. Attending class and listening to the professor will prove to be beneficial. Not to mention, the majority of professors take attendance, which can affect students’ grades. 2. Take notes Showing an interest in the
class can send students from being average students to professor favorites. “If you take notes, it shows a good deal of respect, that something is being said there that might matter,” English professor Jeffrey Loomis said. 3. Participate At Northwest, many of the classes are small enough for students to engage in the lecture. Take advantage of this. Asking questions and providing appropriate commentary will help the student learn the material presented and show genuine interest in the course. DON’Ts 1. Have a classroom outburst Loomis defines these events as students speaking out in class with subject matter unrelated to the material being discussed or the use of unnec-

essary foul language. 2. Check social media/text Loomis said teachers notice when students’ attentions are elsewhere. “The thing about phones and computers being on for access to other stuff is getting
to be more annoying every semester,” Loomis said. “...It’s a little hard to be conducting a class and realizing that somebody at least believes that they can multitask, and probably the thing that’s being least paid attention to is the classroom situation.”

UNIVERSITY POLICE
Police Chief offers advice to incoming students THOMAS DRESSLAR Chief Reporter | @Tom_Dresslar
Whether it be for violations involving alcohol, noise disturbances, safety concerns, or simply receiving a parking ticket, new students are likely to come in contact with a University Police officer at some point while attending Northwest. However, by doing a few simple things students can make any interactions with University Police go smoothly and as stress-free as possible. 1. Be accountable There is almost no way around it; most college students are going to drink alcohol while they are here, and if you are responsible for your actions while drinking, dealing with University Police will be much less stressful. That means not being belligerent to officers after coming home from the bars or a
party where you may have been drinking. “If you are accountable for your actions and honest with the police, you’re going to be dealt with in a great way,” said Clarence Green, University Police Chief. “Know that all of the police on campus and in the community are pro-college student.” 2. Utilize the Safe Ride Program The University Police Department implemented the Safe Ride Home program in 2004. Since then it has provided Northwest students with a safe ride to and from anywhere in the Maryville city limits. Northwest students are encouraged to utilize this service for any reason, whether it be for a much needed sober driver after a night of drinking or for a ride to Wal-Mart to pick up groceries. “We’d like to dispel the image that Safe Ride is only an alcohol transport. It’s really a safe

ride home, and we have tons of students who use it who haven’t consumed any alcohol,” Green said. 3. It’s not the end of the world if you get into trouble with University Police.
It’s inevitable; violations will occur on this campus, and if you happen to be on the receiving end of one, don’t think you’ll have to drop out of school. “Don’t get hung up on those small things and turn them into a big thing,” Green said.
Welcome to Northwest! We wish you success over the next four years!

ACADEMICS
Campus offers various study spots for students THOMAS DRESSLAR Chief Reporter | @Tom_Dresslar
To avoid getting distracted by the shenanigans going on in your residence hall, Northwest provides several quiet, functional places to study. 1. B.D. Owens Library, Third Floor: Northwest boasts a huge library that fits every student’s studying needs. It is divided into three floors, each providing a different studying or work environment. The third floor is designed to be completely silent, giving students a chance to diligently study without any distractions. The second floor is a little
less silent, which allows students to work quietly in small groups. The first floor has no noise restrictions and is there for students who don’t mind a little noise when working alone or in groups. 2. Starbucks (First floor of B.D. Owens Library): Starbucks is new to the campus this year and is perfect for students who want to grab a coffee and a snack while working. Even though it’s on the first floor of the library, noise should not be too much of an issue. 3. Colden Pond Located between the Fine Arts building and Colden Hall, this quaint
space.

It boasts numerous couches and tables for students to utilize when studying.

CULTURE
International students offer advice LAUREN MCCOY Chief Reporter | @mccoy014
College presents new opportunities to incoming students: newfound freedom, independence, education and friends. With the Study Abroad program, it can also provide new sights and experiences while supplying an education. The Study Abroad program at Northwest offers seven different programs, which include more than 40 schools from around the world. Erika Ruiz took advantage of the opportunity to come from Ecuador to Northwest and offered several pieces of advice. “I think the most important thing is the budget,” she said, “Everywhere you go, you will want to try everything because it’s a
new experience. You’ll say to yourself, ‘I want to buy this, I want to eat here,’ especially in the first month. Make sure you have enough money, so you can spend it and not worry about what will happen next.” Besides money, Ruiz said it is important to surround yourself with happy, energetic people. “Be with people who like to go out and have fun,” she said. “You’re going to be lonely for a while. The first month is the hardest. You’ll miss your parents, your friends, your bed, everything.” Aya Tanahashi, a former foreign exchange student from Japan, summarized her experience in one sentence. “Don’t be afraid,” Tanahashi said. “Be confident instead. Your time is short-
er than you expect.” The key, Ruiz said, is trying. “Start talking to people and find out what they like,” Ruiz said. “Look for things you have in common. Don’t be scared of the language and write if you have to instead of talking.” To stay on task while doing new and exciting things, Ruiz suggested a homework schedule. “As long as you keep doing the homework the day it was assigned, you’ll stay caught up,” she said. “If you leave things until the last minute, you’ll drive yourself crazy.” Despite language barriers, Ruiz said it is important to be confident in your own skills in both educational and social environments. “You know more than you think you do,” she said.

HEALTH
CODY SIMMONS| NW MISSOURIAN
The University Wellness Center offers health services as well as counseling and health education for a variety of issues.
Wellness Center provides emotional, physical health services for students VICTORIA BAIGI Chief Reporter | @ToriBaigi
The University Wellness Center, located directly behind Millikan Hall, provides Northwest students with basic healthcare and wellness services that include health education, basic clinical services and much more. “I like to think of us as students’ healthcare provider away from home,” Clinical Supervisor Judy Freuh said. “So if students are sick, want STI/STD screening, women’s health counseling, etc., they can make an appointment online, call in or simply walk in and schedule one.” The Wellness Center is integrated into three areas: healthcare, counseling and health education. The healthcare aspect of the Wellness Center offers many services that go beyond simple diagnosis and treatment. It offers nutrition counseling with registered dietician Shelby Wilmes, depression and anxiety screening, eating disorder evaluation and management, immunizations and other clinical services. There are four counselors available at the Wellness Center with whom students can
speak to regarding a variety of issues, including suicide prevention, drug or alcohol abuse and sexual assault. They have a Personal Development and Counseling Office on the second floor of the J.W. Jones Student Union near the Intercultural International Center and Student Affairs Office. Health Education is a big part of what the Wellness Center does and uses many outlets to promote general wellness practices in the community. It organizes many campus activities, awareness weeks and speakers to get its message out. “Our goal with our health education practices are to ultimately keep people out of the Wellness Center,” Freuh said. The Wellness Center has a 98 percent satisfaction rate and can usually get students an appointment within 24 hours of their call or request. “Our average visit time is only about 45 minutes as well, so I’m pretty proud of the fact that students aren’t stuck here forever when looking for treatment or counseling,” Freuh said. For more information on the Wellness Center, visit www.nwmissouri.edu/wellness.

LEISURE
Students use Internet to kill hours between classes TORI BAIGI Chief Reporter | @ToriBaigi
When transitioning into the college lifestyle, students suddenly find themselves with much more free time. Thankfully, the Internet provides a wide variety of options for wasting hours between classes. Students could easily spend consecutive hours on these addicting websites, but with a little self-control, visits to these sites can serve as healthy outlets for firstyear students. YouTube Whether it’s a clip of a young girl squealing about the pop star Justin Beiber or an overweight man dancing in a leotard to Beyonce’s “Single La-
dies,” students’ eyes are glued to YouTube videos. Freshman Va’Shawn Dixon said when he visits the site, he watches the “recommended for you” videos on his home page first. Dixon said he most frequently visits the channel “JustForLaughs.” He said the channel entertains him with videos of pranks. “Everyone likes to see someone getting pranked,” Dixon said. “It’s just funny.” Tumblr With 48.8 billion posts on Tumblr, students will never run out of photos, music, videos, links or quotes to scroll through. A quick look at your Tumblr dashboard
during a study break can turn into a lengthy event. As a warning for those considering creating an account: addiction and sleepless nights may result. Cracked.com Cracked.com is a website packed with humorous blogs, videos, forums and image manipulations. Freshman Samuel Gomez said cracked.com is not only a time waster, but a thought-provoking experience. “I was on there the other day and read an article discussing how Albert Einstein wasn’t dumb in school like everyone talks about,” Gomez said. “I think that stuff is really interesting.”

DORM LIVING
Students adjust to roommates JOSH PHILLIPS
Cooking in dorm proves to be difficult but manageable process
Chief Reporter | @NWJPhilly
Over the summertime, some students reach out to their future roommates to get to know them a little better before starting their college lives, while friends move to Maryville to begin college together.Even if you do or do not know your roommate, there are tips to know about being a good roommate. If you are open to sharing things with your roommate, talk with them over the summer before school starts to find out who will bring what and which items are off limits. Even if your roommate is open to sharing, it is still polite to ask to use his items. This is not your mom

Learning to get along with a roommate is necessary for making it through the first year at Northwest.
writing to you about having to clean your room, but if you do not, then your roommate may think you are a slob and dread every minute of living with you. However, the same can be said for your roommate. If he is an un-
sanitary roommate, then ask him if he can clean up his space. And remember, even the most out going of people want some time to themselves every once and a while. Be sure to spend time apart when needed.
When the J.W. Jones Student Union closes, hungry students on campus looking for a substantial meal run into a problem. Dormitories provide a difficult atmosphere for cooking, but with a few essential items and tips, students can satisfy their growling stomachs. The University gives students access to all the materials needed to cook. The Station offers a variety of food ingredients, and the residential buildings provide the essential
utensils to cook. However, Residential Assistant Ashleigh Easton said some dormitory cooks may want to consider owning their own dishes. As first-year students adjust to the busy lives of college students, they may not have the time to cook a meal from scratch. When hunger strikes, many students turn to microwaves. For college students, the convenience of a meal tends to determine its healthiness. Students can find ways around this connection to decrease the chances of gaining the “freshman 15.”

BUCKET LIST
Town offers traditions to tackle before graduation JOSHUA PHILLIPS Chief Reporter | @NWJPhilly
There are many places in Maryville all Bearcats must go before they graduate and head off into the real world. People who have been to a Bearcat football game at Northwest will tell you how awesome it is; they are underselling it. Most of the game is spent standing because the student population is energized with Bearcat pride. Many Northwest football games will not disappoint since Northwest has a long-standing tradition of football supremacy. Weekend events leading up to the Home-
coming football game make for nostalgic memories to tell friends for years to come. The best memory is seeing the Homecoming Parade the morning before the football game. Students will dress up in constructed outfits and march alongside parade floats and jalopies into downtown Maryville. Sporting green apparel is a must in Maryville, especially on St. Patrick’s Day at the Palms Bar & Grill. Since the late 1980s the Palms has hosted the World’s Second Shortest St. Patrick’s Day Parade, according to a 1997 story by CNN Travel. Have you ever been inside of an airplane

Maryville Bucket List • Northwest Football Game • The Hangar • Colden Pond • Mozingo Lake Recreation Park • Northwest Kissing Bridge hangar? If you have not, then you should go to Maryville’s Hangar Cinema. The airplanethemed theater features a restaurant and dinner theater as well.
True Bearcats take the plunge into Colden Pond when it is wintertime. There are Northwest students who annually help St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital by taking this jump. Students donate each year to St. Jude’s Up ‘til Dawn for each selected candidate they want to take the jump into Colden Pond. Mozingo Lake Recreation Park is always a great place to go to kick back and relax. At Mozingo Lake, you can golf at the golf course, go fishing, play games on the beachfront, swim, take a boat on the lake, rent out cabins, hunt at permitted hunting
grounds and go on the walking trails. Among the many Northwest traditions, one of the most important traditions deals with the kissing bridge next to Colden Hall. The legend says that in order to be considered a true Bearcat, one has to kiss another person on the cheek or lips before the first snowfall. So hurry and grab someone you like to kiss on the kissing bridge if you want to be a true Bearcat. Despite the small size of the city, no matter where you go or what you see, there is always something to do in Maryville.

GREEK LIFE
Fraternities, sororities seek new members BEN LAWSON
Managing Editor | @BenLawson2010
Hundreds of students at Northwest participate in Greek Life, but the process for joining is more complicated than for most organizations. The process begins during Advantage Week with an allGreek barbeque and ice cream social. Sororities and fraternities have different processes for the rest of recruitment. Check the Greek Life page on the Northwest website for specific dates and locations of events. The Panhellenic Council, the governing body for social sororities at Northwest, organizes the events for sorority recruitment. All five of the social sororities at Northwest give presentations Sept. 5 about their
chapters. Then the formal recruitment process begins the next day. Interested students get the opportunity to meet members from each sorority for about 25 minutes each Sept. 6. This way potential members can start to see which chapter would best suit them. The potential members narrow down the list of sororities they meet with each day until bid day. Potential members only visit with sororities who select them also. Not to worry, Lily Gibbens, the Panhellenic vice president of recruitment external, said the placement rate is very high for girls interested in joining sororities. Sept. 9 is bid day, where students will find out what sorority gave them a bid, and sororities greet their new recruits.

The fraternity process is simpler. Fraternities will hold open houses Sept. 3 to 5. Check the Greek Life page on the Northwest website to look for when each fraternity is having its open house. Fraternities each have their own events Sept. 9 to 11. This gives students the chance to get to know several

Bearcats look to rise to top of MIAA once again CHRIS SCHOONOVER Sports Editor | @schoon54
The Northwest football team will need to rely on a strong running game and a ball-hawking secondary to propel itself back to national prevalence in 2013. The ’Cats led the nation with 28 interceptions, but lost two key pass defenders to graduation in linebacker Collin DeBuysere and safety Nate DeJong. Northwest will also be without a key run stopper up front with defensive tackle Travis Chappelear. Quarterback Trevor Adams will be without his two favorite targets, running back Jordan Simmons and wide re-
ceiver Tyler Shaw, heading into his senior year. This season, Adams will rely on a slew of running backs as he adjusts to a new core of wide receivers and finds his goto guy. Running the ball will be headlined by senior James Franklin. Franklin backed up Simmons last season, but saw plenty of action, rushing for 733 yards on 147 carries and 12 touchdowns. When the ball goes into the air, Adams will target junior wide receiver Bryce Young. Young finished with 504 yards on 36 receptions in his first season of exceptional playing time. Senior Joel Gantz with have to be a safety net for Adams at tight
