PTSD has lingering effects on students ucation coordinator and advocate educator, said the variation of how and when PTSD can present itself is good for people to be aware of. “I think just making sure that when we talk about PTSD, we talk about the expansive experiences that could present someone with PTSD symptoms,” Haymaker said. There is an abundance of instances of trauma that could lead to PTSD. In Kelley’s case, she said she experienced Military Sexual Trauma, also referred to as MST, which led to her PTSD. Civilians abducted her while she was off work spending time with friends, Kelley said. “I was given the date rape drug,” Kelley said. “I was abducted from the area that I was at, taken somewhere and violently beaten and raped.” Kelley said the PTSD is now ever-present in her life and manifests itself in a variety of ways. “I didn’t really even know what PTSD was before that, but for me I think the worst part is that — and I’ve been through years of therapy — but the worst part is that it’s always there,” Kelley said. “Certain smells bring back memories. The nightmares are constant. No matter how good your life is, it always comes back. Certain flashes, like I can’t go to gas stations at night by myself because I remember them stopping at a gas station.”

Nightmares, flashbacks, anxiety and depression can be part of or accompany Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, and some students on the K-State campus are living with this every day. “It changes you in every aspect of your life,” Heather Kelley, junior in communication studies and veteran, said. “Now

I’m happily married and I have kids, and this was 10 years ago that it happened. But I still live with it every day.” PTSD can present in those who have “seen or lived through a shocking, scary or dangerous event,” according to the “Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder” page of the National Institute of Mental Health’s website.

TYPES OF TRAUMA

Michael Molloy, junior in secondary education and veteran, said there are several types

of traumatic events that could lead to the trauma-induced disorder. “It’s commonly associated with the war today and all that, but you can get in a car accident and suffer PTSD,” Molloy said. “You can get sexually assaulted. You could be drinking and almost die of alcohol poisoning and suffer from post-traumatic stress. It’s a traumatic event and anything that was a traumatic event can turn into PTSD.” Jessica Haymaker, Center for Advocacy, Response and Ed-

Former Gov. Carlin encourages political advocacy KAITLYN ALANIS the collegian

K-State political advocacy groups reached across the aisle to focus on a common goal: political advocacy and engagement in college students. K-State Young Democrats and College Republicans hosted John Carlin, former Democratic governor of Kansas and visiting professor and executive-in-residence in the Political Science Department, for a bipartisan discussion on the importance of registering, voting and being informed citizens in government and politics Monday in the Leadership Studies Building. “It’s not about just looking at (Republicans) and (Democrats),” Carlin said. “It’s looking across the aisle to see who’s going to make some tough decisions and solve problems.” Garrett Miller, sophomore in political science, went to the event on behalf of K-State College Republicans. “I came here to listen to the other side of the spectrum,” Miller said. “It was very beneficial.” Carlin spoke one main mes-

sage of getting college-aged citizens to register and vote. “Young people should dominate elections,” Carlin said. “You have more at stake than anyone else. If we screw up infrastructure, the impact is on you. You’ll be the one with bad roads. If we don’t fund education, you pay the price.” Carlin said he was not there to push a party or a program, but

rather to push students to become politically engaged and informed. “I can’t reach enough people to share this message,” Carlin said. “But you can. You can reach out to your friends, those you live with and others you know.” Carlin said the College Republicans and Young Democrats in attendance could make a very large impact in the coming election.

“A group this size has the capacity to individually and collectively turn things around,” Carlin said. Carlin said those people then need to inform others, advocate, write letters and encourage others to do the same. “It cannot stop at registering and voting,” Carlin said. Carlin quoted the words from an essay turned in by a previous student that he said he related to and thought a younger generation could connect with as well. “Are you electing the resume boosters or the problem solvers?” Carlin quoted from the essay. Carlin also said political activists and voters should reach beyond party lines and find the best candidate to make the greatest impact for their generation. “Today everyone is reluctant to speak up,” Carlin said. “Your generation can make the difference.” Jonah Hall, junior in philosophy and political science, said he was excited to see both organizations work together to encourage voter turnout. “It is important for us all to get together in a bipartisan format and really understand what is at stake,” Hall said.

| Learned helplessness causes depression Illustration by Savannah Thaemert

KAITLYN COTTON the collegian

Depression comes in all forms, whether it be from a relationship, school, divorce or death, depression is debilitating. Depression is often misunderstood by those who have never experienced it, and for good reason. There is a definitive difference between a person who is depressed and a person who isn’t depressed, and the difference can be linked to the way a person thinks. Martin Seligman, director of the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania, discovered the concept of learned helplessness as it applies to animals in 1965, and 30 years later, he broadened the concept in a way that applies to humans, specifically humans with depression, according to Maria Konnikova’s New Yorker article, “Trying to cure depression, but inspiring torture.” Originally, learned helplessness was a phenomenon that illustrated the correlation between an animal being subjected to an aversive stimulus that it couldn’t escape, and the animal eventually accepting the fact that it cannot escape, despite being given a way to do so. In a way, the experiment taught them to believe that trying would just lead to failure, and therefore, there is no reason to try. This concept has now been linked to the understanding behind a form of depression that is caused by feeling unable to control situations in a specific environment or element within their life. “Learned helplessness has also been associated with several different psychological disorders. Depression, anxiety, phobias, shyness and loneliness can all be exacerbated by learned helplessness,” according to Kendra Cherry’s VeryWell.com article, “What is learned helplessness?” Learned helplessness makes a person feel that whatever they do will be futile and that all control is out of their hands. This forces them to generalize one experience to apply to a broader existence. For those with depression, specifically those with depression caused by lack of control, however, their initial reaction is to find something to blame the outcome on, and, more times than not, they point the finger at themselves. This type of depression causes the person to feel helpless, as well as hopeless, and when these two emotional states are put together,

they can be devastating, according to Ph.D.s Rashmi Nemade, Natalie Staats Reiss and Mark Dombeck’s Mental Help article, “Seligman’s Learned Helplessness.” “An adaptation of (learned helplessness) argues that depression results not only from helplessness, but also from hopelessness,” the article said. “The hopelessness theory attributes depression to a pattern of negative thinking in which people blame themselves for negative life events, view the causes of those events as permanent, and overgeneralize specific weaknesses to many areas of their life.” As part of Segilman’s research, children who were experiencing depression-like symptoms were split into two groups. One group was taught to identify when they were having negative thoughts, to evaluate those thoughts objectively and then to come up with alternatives, and the other group was taught nothing,

according to the New Yorker article. “At the end of the two years, 44 percent of the children in the control group had developed a form of depression,” Konnikova said in the New Yorker article. “Only 22 percent of the treatment group had done so.” The improvements were attributed to the change in their evaluation process. The kids who blamed the outcome on themselves were more likely to become depressed than those who created an alternative cause of the outcome. In the same way that someone can learn helplessness, these children were able to achieve learned optimism. “Seligman believed that humans, like dogs, could be taught to become more resilient, a phenomenon he called learned optimism,” Konnikova said in The New Yorker article. I believe this concept is absolutely vital for people to understand, and my fear is that a majority of people

have never even heard of it before. At one point or another, everyone has experienced a situation where the outcome, especially a negative one, was completely out of their hands. For some, understanding the outcome was either unavoidable or uncontrollable enough to move past the situation. “By reducing your feeling of control as well as your available options in a situation, it can further add to the depression,” according to Mark Tyrell and Roger Elliott’s Clinical Depression article, “Depression and your sense of control.” Feeling as if nothing you say or do will make a difference in the outcome of a situation would lead anyone to give up. Without any incentive to try, the threat of pain or even death no longer makes a difference, Konnikova said in The New Yorker article. For people without depression, it is hard to understand just how

handicapping the lack of control can be because the mental process behind how they are able to evaluate situations is completely different. Someone once told me to take the power back from the things that took it from me in the first place. Because this is a “learned” concept, we are able to learn to challenge it. Developing new skills, in this case re-evaluating the cause of negative outcomes, or learned optimism, will be the first step for people with depression to take the power back from the debilitating disease before it takes everything from them.

Guest column: Prince’s legacy lives on forever ALEX JIRGENS the collegian

Prince. The name conjures up a lot of memories for those who were born and grew up in the ‘80s. Whether you know him directly by being a fan or indirectly by reading about his death, Prince is a music icon whose memory will never be forgotten. At age 57, Prince joined a long list of legends who have

recently passed, but Prince wasn’t just your typical musician. The man changed the face of music as we knew it. He was able to blend funk, rock, new wave, R&B and pop into a style no one else has ever done before. He championed the “Minneapolis Sound,” which defined pop music for the better part of the 1980s. He constantly experimented with different sounds, which made it possible for him to release 39 albums, as well as have 25-30 still

unreleased. Despite many of these albums not getting much press, he still enjoyed releasing them to millions upon millions of die-hard fans. In addition to his music, Prince broke boundaries in terms of clothing styles, an action that would eventually inspire hundreds of people to experiment in the same way. His wardrobe was made up of colorful outfits, stripes, sequins and so much more. Although his style choices were unorth-

Street Talk compiled by Jessica Robbins

odox for his time, it made very little difference. His style choices and unique sound were featured at the Super Bowl XLI halftime show in 2007. This was, in my opinion, one of the best live performances I have ever seen. There is nothing that speaks to the soul better than watching Prince perform “Purple Rain” while fans stood loyal in the rain. The tributes I’ve seen, whether in Minneapolis or on social media, have been as-

tonishing. When David Bowie passed away earlier this year, I didn’t see as many memorials for him. But here’s an interesting part: Both Bowie and Prince had a feeling their lives were going to come to an end fairly soon. Bowie released his 25th album two days before he died, while Prince was preparing to write a memoir. While many of the greats have passed away, Prince’s legacy will truly live on forever. He has joined many greats, such as Jimi Hendrix, Michael

Jackson, Whitney Houston and Buddy Holly, in that musical paradise. The clouds will definitely be rocking. The views and opinions expressed in this column are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of The Collegian.

2 colleges to implement new majors, minors in fall KALIN WATSON the collegian

eginning next fall, K-State students will have the option to declare a new secondary major or minor based out of different colleges. The College of Agriculture has gone through the process of adding the global food systems leadership secondary major. It allows students to take a deeper look at the global system and structures of society and work through their complexities in relations to leadership, Ronnie Sullivan, senior in international agribusiness, said. “We were wanting to do stuff that was related to leadership within the context of food and agriculture,” Kris Boone, department head and professor of communications and agricultural education, said. With the Staley School of Leadership Studies having a strong focus on food, hunger and food security, the combination of that with the College of Agriculture and the political science department allowed for the context of food and agriculture to be a strong policy, Boone said. “A really big component of this major is that it is interdisciplinary,” Sullivan said. “Global food systems are a very complex issue, and I think it is important to bring this to the table as a way for students to connect these different disciplines.” The modern language department has added a new minor that can be placed alongside almost any other major offered,

Laura Kanost, associate professor of Spanish, said. The Spanish translation minor allows students to lay the foundation if they were interested in a career as a translator. “Translation is probably the most widely practical application of speaking a foreign language,” Courtney Faucett, senior in industrial engineering, said. “It is necessary in all industries. Having the ability to translate a text from English to Spanish is a huge asset to any business.” Before a new major or minor is added, a needs assessment is completed, Boone said. “You look at if there is a demand in the workplace for people who would come out with these types of skill sets, so that was one of the things, of course, we assessed,” Boone said. Implementing a new major or minor can take up to a full year depending on how much needs to be fixed and how much groundwork has already been laid, Boone said. “The first thing thing we had to do is have approval from your departmental course and curriculum committee,” Boone said. “So the Staley School, political science and Communication and Agricultural Education departments all have to approve it individually.” New majors and minors start by getting department approval, then have to go through the college that department is housed in, the various committees in the Faculty Senate, and finally the Board of Regents, according to the K-State “Approval, Routing, and Notification Procedures for Course and Curriculum Chang-

es,” document. Kanost said the new Spanish translation minor did not have to go through the Board of Regents because there were no plans to develop it into a major. The new global food systems leadership secondary major and Spanish translation minor did not cost K-State students any money, Kanost said. Frontier Farm Credit gave $100,000 to the global food systems leadership secondary major to celebrate its 100 years. This is an endowment in the foundation and will help the students in the program, Boone said. “It was very refreshing to witness their support for the program,” Sullivan said. “That is a lot of money, and it is a very good cause.” When adding the Spanish translation minor, no extra funds were needed to insert the program into the curriculum. Two of the three translation classes already existed, and all that was added was one additional course and a new combination of course work, Kanost said. “When we proposed the new minor, a strong aspect to our proposal was that we did not need any funding for this program,” Kanost said. “We were using the resources we already had.” These programs allow for students to add to their education and go deeper than the two classes offered previously, Kanost said. “I think it is a great opportunity because it really allows students to gain that practical skill through more time in the classroom and getting deeper into it,” Faucett said.

Research with African-American fraternity shows importance of mentoring students SARA SAVATOVIC the collegian

Be Stoney, associate professor of curriculum and instruction, said when she decided to mentor an African-American Phi Beta Sigma fraternity, she had a research goal to explore the opportunities that African-American Greek organizations have on predominantly white campuses, commonly referred to as PWI campuses. “One of the things that I wanted to learn about was their racial experience in PWI campuses,” Stoney said. “I also wanted to find out what kind of coaching they have seen, role modeling and developing friendship they established with their mentors, as well as what exposure and visibility they have with the campus community.” One of Stoney’s findings showed the importance of mentoring in helping students to get better connected with campus and its available resources. Stoney’s research showed important roles that mentors have in providing opportunities for their mentees, especially connecting them with exposure and visibility that they have available on campus. According to Stoney, 87.5 percent of the participants strongly agreed that exposure and visibility provide opportunities for the

Be Stoney, associate professor of curriculum and instruction participants to connect with the faculty, peers or administrators, who can help them in the future. “Dr. Stoney is currently our adviser and she helps us get a lot of connections,” Phi Beta Sigma member Terrell Smith, sophomore in family studies, said. “Without the mentors we wouldn’t be able of doing the things that we have done, because we get well connected through them.” Smith said Stoney’s mentoring is important because he and the other fraternity members are learning many things such as how to be aware of opportunities on campus, how to act during presentations and how to do or participate in research. After the research was completed, it was presented at the mentoring conference at the University of New Mex-

ico, in October 2015. Stoney gave the presentation with five men from the fraternity. “I presented the literature review and methodology of research, while young gentlemen presented all the analyses data because, after all, it was all about their experiences,” Stoney said. “They have never presented at any major conference, but it was a very valuable experience for them. People were really impressed, but I was mostly surprised by the audience because it was a very diverse crowd.” Stoney said the results of her research also showed the importance of the coaching that mentors provide to their mentees. Seventy-five percent of the research’s participants strongly agreed that their mentors motivated them to try new ways of behaving, which helped them achieve more academic success. “The most important thing with coaching is that mentors have the knowledge, they have been where you are right now, so they can prepare you and guide you toward suc-

cess,” said Deron Wright, senior in business management and member of the fraternity. “I never had anybody to help me and give advice before. I finally have somebody to tell how to do things in a right way and to see the benefit of it changes everything. Now I tell people underneath me to do the same thing.” Stoney also said it is important being a part of a research community, but adds that most undergraduates have never been involved in a research project. “The involvement in the research was a life-changing experience, especially having this opportunity while we were still undergrads,” Wright said. “We didn’t know what we were getting into, because we haven’t done anything similar before. At the presentation we didn’t know there would be around hundreds of professionals who have (doctorate) degrees. Dr. Stoney gave us some great opportunities and experiences, so now I know that I will seek out the mentorship later.”

BatCats take on Wichita State in 2-game tilt RILEY GATES the collegian

current four-game stretch of playing nonconference teams will extend to five tonight at Tointon Family Stadium for the K-State baseball team. After the Wildcats’ midweek victory on last week against Grand Canyon, the Wildcats won a threegame series 2-1 at Iowa over the weekend. K-State will host the 1627 Wichita State Shockers tonight. The Shockers are looking to shake some of their recent blues. They enter the game having lost two straight games to Southern Illinois and three of their last five games. The Wildcats, on the other hand, look to continue their recent success. They have won five of their last six games, and their only loss came over the weekend by one run to Iowa in a setting that K-State head coach Brad Hill said his team was not accustomed to playing in. “More than anything else, we played well in tough conditions,” Hill said to K-State Sports. “We

The guys hung

in there. We pitched really well all weekend. Offensively, we did what we had to do to win two games. Pitching, though, picked us up, and

we played pretty good defense.” The Shockers’ leader of consistency at the plate this year has been freshman outfielder Day-

ton Dugas. The native of Lake Charles, Louisiana, has a .312 average at the plate in 109 at-bats. It is the play of freshman infielder Greyson Jenista, however, that also draws eyes. Jenista has a .308 average to go along with a run total of 23, a hit total of 36 and 25 RBIs. For K-State, the heart and soul at the plate in 2016 has been senior outfielder Clayton Dalrymple. He has pieced together a .358 average while starting in every game for the Wildcats this year. Dalrymple leads his team in runs and hits with 41 and 64, respectively. He also has 22 RBIs and 11 doubles. Freshman pitcher Brogan Heinen will take the mound for K-State. Heinen enters the game with a 1-0 record and a 3.14 ERA. Sophomore pitcher Chandler Sanburn will pitch for the Shockers with a 0-0 record and a 9.00 ERA. Tonight’s game will be the first of two between the teams this week. They will go at it again tomorrow in Wichita for a makeup game that was postponed from earlier this season. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 p.m. today in Manhattan.

WASHINGTON NATIONALS AT KANSAS CITY ROYALS

The Royals are coming back to Kansas City after a rough road trip that saw them go 1-5. This is for game three of the Nationals series, so the Royals will either be any combination of 0-2, 1-1 or 2-0 against them. After losing game one, they are looking to win in game two and have game three be the game that takes the series. The Royals do

not have the best pitching matchup with Stephen Strasburg going for Washington and Kris Medlan going for Kansas City. Medlan, however, did throw 5 1/3 of one-hit baseball, but the one hit was a homer and the Royals lost that start 1-0. First pitch for this game will be 1:15 p.m. Wednesday on Fox Sports Kansas City.

PTSD | Students with shared experiences join together continued from page

TRIGGERS

Memories of the traumatic situation can be triggered by sensory perceptions including, but not limited to, sights, sounds and smells, according to the “Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder” page of the Mental Health America’s website. Carson Lang, sophomore in criminology, said his PTSD is minor, but there are things that trigger it. “I don’t have it too bad,” Lang said. “I’ve found that Fourth of July really sucks, like the first few days in July, because you’ve got the fireworks and it sounds very similar to an AK47.” Haymaker said these memory triggers differ depending on the perspective and traumatic situation of the individual. “Your triggers are specific to your experience and your context,” she said. There are, however, other effects outside of the memory triggers of the disorder, including direct effects on the student’s college education. Molloy said he has PTSD, and memory issues that can accompany the disorder

affect his education. “One of the symptoms of PTSD is actually memory loss, and I have a hard time — I have to study the night before an exam usually,” Molloy said. “Studying weeks before, I will lose material, like I won’t remember something if I study two weeks later.” Haymaker said memory and focus issues are components of PTSD that she has seen affect students. “If you’re studying for a big test, let’s say microbiology, and you study, study, study for hours and hours and hours, but your mind is still processing that trauma and so your brain is largely taken up by that,” Haymaker said. “So when you study, the retention of that information that you studied, you’re not able to recall it, or you’re not able to recall it in the same way you would if you hadn’t experienced that trauma.” Another possible effect of PTSD is changes in sleep patterns, Haymaker said. “It also affects individuals and how well they sleep,” she said. “If they have nightmares, if they can’t sleep, if they’re sleeping too much, these are all ways in which the body copes with trauma.”

EFFECTS IN THE CLASSROOM

According to Justin Manford, junior in economics and president of the Veteran Student Organization, these effects on education can manifest directly in the classroom as well. For example, students with PTSD may prefer sitting in the back of the classroom. “A lot of teachers might assume that if you sit in the back of the classroom you’re not paying attention, you’re messing around on your phone, you don’t care about the class, which isn’t the case for somebody with PTSD,” Manford said. “They don’t like people behind them. It makes them feel unsafe.” Behaviors like this may help the student feel more comfortable in the space they are in and, in turn, allow them to be more attentive to the class, Manford said. “So to be able to focus on the class, what they are doing is they’re putting themselves in the most invulnerable space that they have control of their surroundings, as well as being able to pay attention,” Manford said. Despite these symptoms and manifestations, there are other

ways to handle the disorder, medically and otherwise. “It’s just like any other mental health issue,” Kelley said. “It can be monitored. It can be helped.”

CARING FOR PTSD

Approximately 8 million adults have PTSD during a given year, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Molloy also said PTSD should be dealt with and paid attention to like any injury should. “It’s a wound and it has to be cared for,” Molloy said. “It’s not that the person is psychotic, they’ve suffered a traumatic event. They’ve seen things, they’ve been through things that are horrible, the worst thing on the planet, and they are suffering from it.” Both Molloy and Manford said many students can take advantage of the four free sessions from K-State’s Counseling Services as a resource. Additionally, Haymaker said K-State’s Family Center can also be used as a resource similar to Counseling Services. Manford said he and the Veteran Student Organization encourage students to seek help. “It takes a big man to ask

for help,” Manford said. “So we want to make sure that just because you’re feeling these thoughts doesn’t mean you’re weak.” Will Rector, graduate student in security studies and graduate research assistant for Non-Traditional and Veteran Student Services, said students with PTSD can engage in social interaction about personal experiences and seek out the resources they need in order to help themselves. “I think the main thing is just talking with people who have that shared experience,” Rector said. “If you’re having an issue, putting yourself in a position that you know where these resources are at and having the ability to go out there and to find them and get them.” In addition to medical and professional resources, Kelley said having a place like the Veteran’s Center in the K-State Student Union allows veterans to find other students like themselves. “A lot of us are much older than the average student, so that already makes you feel out of place,” Kelley said. “Then a lot of the campus activities are geared toward younger people, so it’s good to be here in this group to have people that know and understand.” Emily Betthauser, senior in

family studies and human services and intern for the Institute for the Health and Security of Military Families, said simply being aware of the disorder and comprehending the effects it could have on an individual is something the community can do. “I would say the best thing that we can do for students who are suffering from PTSD would be awareness and understanding of the side effects,” Betthauser said. For people to understand the disorder, however, there needs to be a way for students to get that knowledge, Rector said. “The flip-side on that is giving them access to that education, and that is something that we’re trying to strive to do throughout the different departments that we deal with on campus,” Rector said. Online programs are one method of education, such as the Veteran On Campus Peer Program. This program is online training that students can participate in to help them understand issues like PTSD. “By understanding them better, you can help them better,” Rector said. The stigma for PTSD needs to be resolved, Manford said. “Just because we have it doesn’t mean we’re a ticking time bomb,” Manford said.
