In an attempt to find the best deals on produce, Crusader staff member Diana Chavira compared the prices of three local stores on Aug. 10. The price differences between stores just for apples, bananas and oranges are considerable. Shoppers should be aware that prices of produce fluctuate throughout the year depending on the season.
Choose healthy snacks with dorm living in mind Diana Chavira New Media Director A new dorm adviser introduced the Seward County students to the dorm rules as they started a new year. Adviser Katherine Mulligan didn’t hesitate to say that oversized appliances are not allowed. Only small refrigerators are permitted, meaning that students won’t be stocking up on very many groceries. However, even a small fridge can help stock healthy snacks.
For healthy snacks, student Lauren Harp likes to keep granola bars, milk and some fruit in her refrigerator. “ I think a small fridge is plenty for what I need,” she explained. Harp also shared that she isn’t very creative when it comes to making up her own snacks, but she manages to eat healthy nonetheless. The same can be said for Kurt Boaldin who is also living on campus. “I’m not very creative, but I know what tastes good,” Boaldin
said with a laugh. Boaldin keeps his dorm room stocked with healthful foods. His diet ranges from lean ham or turkey and tons of water, to Medley Crunch Cereal and Wheat Thins. He also said that he doesn’t use appliances often; in fact, he has only used his microwave once since arriving at college. Furthermore, Boaldin said that if he desired to use a toaster, he could wait until the cafeteria opened to use one.
A one pound package of strawberries can last for a week if they are eaten wisely. As can other fruits, they can all be used to make a variety of fast and easy snacks. Eating healthy takes discipline, but there are ways to make it enjoyable. Use Pinterest as a source for new snack ideas. The simplest ideas can sometimes be the most delicious. Try making frozen yogurtcovered fruit for example, or a fruit sandwich. Eating healthy doesn’t have to be difficult

“ Sometimes I wish my freezer compartment were just more fridge, simply because I don’t use it enough to justify the wasted space,” added Boaldin, “but overall, I’m happy with what I have.” It seems that once students begin their college routines, eating habits can take a turn for the worse. This happens when junk food becomes a suitable option for a meal. Junk food can be cheap, but so can fruit. Liberal stores offer affordable choices for fruits and vegetables.

As if a job and six children aren’t enough, Mindee Limon is also a successful nursing student. Limon, along with other busy college students, must manage time wisely. She suggests using Cozi and quizlet.com for schedules and studying. Below, find additional advice from current and former SCCC students who have overcome the challenge of juggling clubs, classes, work, friends and family, all while maintaining grades.
Jose Medrano
n2013 Graduate of the Year nFormer Crusader Editor
When Jose Medrano was a student at SCCC, he kept busy with school, activities and the Crusader and still managed to receive the Graduate of the Year award. His advice to students is to “always make a schedule” and to stay organized. He stressed that even though friends or parties may be tempting, “being focused is really important.” Without focus, it’s easy to get behind in classes. Medrano said “always give effort even if it’s a class you hate.” Working hard

Mindee Limon keeps herself busy with work, school and family. How does she balance all three? “I make sure I have a calendar,” Limon said. She keeps a calendar with all her assignments for the month as well as reading assignments. To keep up with family schedules she uses an app called Cozi. Cozi allows Limon’s kids to up-
“listen to lectures and take notes,” as well as to “meet with your adviser when you’re making your schedules” to avoid taking unnecessary classes. As her last words of wisdom, Limon said, “You can do anything you put your mind to as long as you tell yourself you can do it. Don’t let anyone tell you different.” —Kristy Flowers, news editor
will pay off in the end. He advised students to have a schedule that fits for them individually and to stay at a pace they can keep up with. To stay organized, Medrano uses his phone calendar and Google calendar, which he said “works perfectly.” Instead of working on or studying one subject for too long, he said to “break it up into chunks.” Medrano’s final tip to students was “enjoy your time but use it wisely.” —Kristy Flowers, news editor

Manage Money
Type it up or write it down
College is expensive. It’s easy to rack up large amounts of debt from student loans. There are a few simple ways to better manage money and potentially avoid student debt. nMaking a budget is the first step to managing money. By having a set amount of money to spend for food, entertainment, shopping, etc., it is easier to save money. nScholarships are another way to save money while receiving a college education. There are numerous scholarships available from hometowns and also through the college. Research the opportunities and ask a financial advisor. nAnother way to save money is to find a part-time job. Working is not the end of the world. Even a small amount of income can make a huge difference in paying off college costs. If working off campus is not an option, the college offers many workstudy opportunities. Talk to an advisor or the financial aid office for more information. nA large part of student expense is found in the bookstore. Textbooks are expensive, especially when five or six different books are needed for a semester. If given the opportunity, buy used books or rent books. Money can be earned back at the end of the semester if rented books are returned in good condition. Go to the bookstore for more information. By following these four simple steps, the amount of student debt can significantly decrease. Keep track of money and manage it well in order to avoid deep debt later on.
Digital planners vs. written planners
$
Time management is essential to having a successful college career. Forgotten assignments and late night cram sessions for a test can make or break a grade. Using a planner, written or digital, can help with organization, scheduling and even events outside of school. Here are some tips for using both digital and written planners that can make time management simple.
Digital
Convenience is a large part of today’s society. With smartphones, schedules can be viewed and changed with the swipe of a finger. Google calendars can be used either on a G-mail account or on an iPhone. The advantage of this digital calendar is that schedules and personal calendars can be synced to computers, phones and even tablets. Activities or projects can be added to a calendar by sending a simple text message. Is a big project due in a week? No problem. Google can send a reminder via text or email and can also give a countdown to the actual due date for a project. If a calendar is full of school, sports and extracurricular activities, the calendar can be color coded by category for a better visual. Going to the settings on Google calendar can make all of these reminders and time management aids possible.
Written plan-
If technology and digital ning is too much to handle, there is always the option of the written calendar or planner. Written planners are good for feeling accomplished. Writing events and assignments down and crossing them off when finished can give a huge feeling of satisfaction. In order to stay on top of things, write assignments and due dates down as soon as they are said in class. Writing information down helps to remember things at a later date. Planners and agendas can be used in class even when cell phones cannot, making them convenient for jotting down classroom assignments. Written planners can also give a better at a glance visual of how many days have free time.

Unprotected students could lose more than peace of mind
Insurance can be a student’s only safety net
Dawn Shouse Crusader staff Most people value their health, their vehicles and their personal belongings. Protecting those valuables can be confusing, even down right mindboggling especially when asking an insurance salesman. Asking questions like: “How much coverage is needed” and “What will be replaced if damaged?” could make what seems like a short conversation turn into hours of long discussion. “From an investment standpoint, if you want to protect what you have earned or acquired, insuring it is very important,” said Kris Claypool. Claypool is a sophomore at Seward County Community College/ Area Technical School and while he is an accounting major he is also licensed in the state of Kansas to sell insurance. “I can’t sell insurance policies because I am not appointed by a company but I can give advice.” Claypool said. Renters Insurance The average student may not know that the SCCC/ATS dorms are not responsible for any theft or damage to students’ property while staying in the Student Liv-
Safeguard Your Assets AND Save Hundreds.
ing Center, Hale Court or The Mansions. Claypool suggests several types of insurance types for a new college student. “A lot of people are confused and think that insurance is expensive, but renters insurance it is actually really cheap. Claypool recommends taking an inventory of all personal property. Claypool also suggests inventoring enough clothing for one week, “Any electronics and things like that, inventory it for a dollar amount and usually when you are insuring they will only pay about 10 to 15 percent of what the actual value is of that property. If you do have to ever file a claim to replace those items, depending on the type of policy you have, then you will be reimbursed in cash or they may just replace the item for like new or the same item. For a college student just starting out, even if you have an apartment and live off campus, you may not have but only $20,000 of personal property. Normally, if your parents have a homeowner’s policy, your personal property will be covered up to only $3000.” Claypool says the extended coverage is common with most insurance policies but adds, “You are covered because you are still considered a dependent in

the family’s household. Usually, I have seen prices of renters insurance go from $50 to $130 a month, depending on different rating factors that the companies will use.” Vehicle Insurance Vehicle insurance is mandatory in the state of Kansas. Claypool said there are many ways to get car insurance, “You can go with a local agent or search insurance companies online. There is a lot of information that goes into your car insurance rating so the best advice I could give somebody is talk to somebody face to face and ask lots of questions.” Claypool suggests that while looking for an insurance company to insure you, they will ask a lot of very specific questions and will probably run a credit check. “These are all factors that insurance companies are shifting towards in rating factors so this information will influence the insurance score.” Claypool said. Claypool explains that the insurance score is just like a credit score. Claypool says that one of the things a student can look at to protect his or her insurance score is driving history. “Do you have any accidents? If you do have accidents are they your fault?
The other things they look at are factors like: are you male or female, what type of vehicle you have, the size of the engine, even how many doors are on that car?” Claypool says that four doors have less of a cost that a two door vehicle because it is not considered a sports car. Health Insurance Another valuable asset is health. Keeping healthy is key to success in college. Since most classes will allow for only three absences it is imperative to stay as healthy as possible to succeed. Clareisa Bayouth owns a local branch office for Farmers Insurance. She suggests getting a shortterm medical policy to cover college students while they are in transition from their parents insurance. “Assurant Health policies offer students a unique solution by offering temporary health insurance policy extending from 30 to 180 days of coverage.” Bayouth said. Bayouth added that depending upon what deductible a student chooses, the premium is relatively inexpensive. For more detailed information on health insurance, contact Clareisa Bayouth at Farmers Insurance.

Staying Safe
How To...
August 2013
Maria Lara Crusader staff
The head of security, Dennis Mulanax, will be providing a safer way to protect personal belongings and help the program run more smoothly throughout campus of Seward County Community College. Beginning the school year it would also be a good idea to explain the “new property identifica-
tion program,” Mulanax said. The team of security purchased pens that will mark your property in a more useful way to identify it as theirs. Students will be able to have access to these pens in the security office which is located by the Wellness Center, in the Student Union Building. Otherwise, the officers will also be able to come to the students and make the marking equipment available to them.
CRUSADER 7
Pen it: New security pens can safeguard students’ property
Mulanax is also using a form that is given and available for students to document their valuables. He later files these forms and in case the property is stolen, specific information related to the items, can be referenced. Due to previous complications, officers would be frustrated when someone would file a report on stolen property and the owner had no idea what the information for
that item was, not the serial number or other specific information about it. This new program will help prevent the hassle and allow the process to be more efficient. “Burglary and thefts are crimes of opportunity. These are stealth crimes,” Mulanax said. He also mentions that the national averag of the solvency rate on these
crimes is somewhere around the 20 percentile range. Mulanax says, “We need to encourage people to take away the oppurtunity for others, which if the truth be known, are mostly poeple who have already been inside our homes, dorm rooms, offices and therefore already know what they want to steal, away from them.”
Head of security outlines safety precautions Q: What are you doing to prepare for this year? A: The college has put an abundant amount of attention towards the video surveillance system, which will be a tremendous advantage when dealing with unsafe, suspicious and criminal activity. I have also been busy recruiting and hiring new employees to come join our team. Q: Are you a 24/7 head of security, or does anybody else help you throughout the day? A: All employees here at the college and area technical school are members of our safety team. All employees will be taking a part in the safety and awareness of our campus properties. With this, updated alert systems have been put into place as well as continuing campus emergency evacuation and response procedures. Administration also takes turns being on call. All employees are encouraged to attend the many functions happening on campus properties and the video surveillance system is a tremendous advantage. We also have an emergency response team gathered for the specific purpose of continued assessment, planning and response if ever needed.
•
“We are constantly on the lookout. We are responsible for the security and safety of all of our students and the property...”
Dennis Mulanax Q: How can you be reached if a robbery occurs in the dorms? A: All dorms have video surveillance to monitor hallways, entry and exits and parking lots. If I am at work, I am always just seconds away as well as several other employees who have radios and phones who can respond within seconds. All things considered, we’ve got you covered. Q: Are you available at night? A: Yes. Other security officers are also scheduled around the clock and security services are available 24/7:365. Q: If there is an assault in the parking lot, who does the victim call? What if they have no phone? A: If you have a phone, as most people these days, call security at 417-1180. If there is need for an immediate medical response be-
cause of being hurt, call 911 for an ambulance. If the victim does not have a phone, come inside the closest building and assistance will be provided. Once inside, every employee can be of assistance. There are also phones inside every classroom and other phones strategically placed throughout campus properties to call security. Q: Is there anything that can cause you to call reinforcements? A: We have direct radio and phone access to all emergency services and non-emergency services. The college is within a half mile of the hospital and fire department and is; therefore, only seconds away. The college follows a mandated requirement of reporting crimes to the Federal Government under compliance to the Clery Act.
Law enforcement will be called on crimes in which it has been determined the person or persons are a danger to themselves, others, or another’s property. Q: How will students know this safety information? A: Safety evacuation and responses to a multitude of events are strategically placed throughout the campus properties. We also have a RAVE Alert System, which communicates emergency and school closing events out to the students and staff on cell phones and/or email accounts. Q: What is a typical day for you and your fellow officers? A: We are constantly on the lookout. We are responsible for the security and safety of all of our students and the property that they enter upon. A typical day is following standard procedures but also being available for whatever happens or is predicted to happen or might possibly happen. Additional comments and information from Head of Security Dennis Mulanax will be printed in the Sept. 11 issue of the Crusader.
