Debate: A one-division competition

R ayna K arst

rkarst@esubulle tin.com

For the 16 squad members of ESU debate, the coming year’s competition promises thousands of miles of travel, the opportunity to debate Ivy League schools, and if they’re good enough, the opportunity to be champions.

“We travel the country, we go to really cool places, and although we might not have time at the tournaments to see those places, it’s really fun,” said Issie Englebert, junior pre-art therapy major.

“Debate just has a really incredible community.”

In collegiate debate, one topic is chosen for the entire year, according to Engelbert.

This year, that topic is health insurance, and debaters are able to argue about many different aspects of the broad topic against schools from all over the country.

“Unlike sports teams here at ESU, where they compete against DII teams, Intercollegiate Policy Debate is one division,” said Courtney Schauer, assistant director of debate. “Emporia State Students compete against everyone from Kansas City Community College to Harvard.”

Lily Garcilazo, Kappa Delta Chi sorority president and senior psychology major, tearfully gazes at a picture on Oct. 8 in her home of her niece, Shaely Reyes, who died at nine months from Edwards’ Syndrome and became the inspiration for “Shaely’s Wish,” KDC’s local philanthropy.

Kappa Delta Chi will be memorializing Shaely DulceMaria Reyes, an infant who died at nine months from Edwards’ syndrome, by promoting Shaely’s Wish, a local philanthropy. KDC will be sharing Reyes’ story and selling $3 bracelets with saints on them and baked goods from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, Oct. 27 in the Memorial Union.

“They would tell us that she wasn’t going to live long, that she was going to die sooner or later but she always fought through,” said Lily Garcilazo, Reyes’ aunt, Kappa Delta Chi sorority president and senior psychology major. “She lived during the pregnancy for nine months and then after for nine months, so I always felt that was a miracle for us.

She wasn’t expected to live long and she beat the odds.”

Garcilazo’s sister, Elizabeth Reyes, is a sophomore nursing major and hopes that Shaely’s Wish will bring hope to other parents and will make sure her baby is never forgotten. Elizabeth was pregnant with Shaely last year, who was born in March of 2016.

All of the money raised will go to Children’s Mercy Hospital either directly or used to buy items for babies in intensive care, according to Elizabeth Reyes. A card

This can’t be happening. This is my baby.’”

The doctor told Elizabeth Reyes that the baby could die any day and that if she did live to be born, she likely would only be alive a few seconds.

“I felt lonely in this world,” Elizabeth Reyes said.

“I felt scared, I was mad. I told my husband that we weren’t going to tell anyone else, that we were just going to keep it between us because I didn’t want people to look at me and feel sorry for me and my daughter. I just wanted people to see my baby as a cute baby, and not as a sick child.”

Garcilazo sacrificed activities, including going inactive in her sorority for a semester, to stay home and help take care of her sister and the baby.

“It was really hard for my sister, going through the whole process,” Garcilazo said. “It was really hard for me to be of support, because she was still pregnant when they were already talking to her about the baby’s funeral.

It was a really really horrible feeling because we didn’t even know how she would look (or) if we would meet her.”

Shaely Reyes was born March 3 by C-Section and surprised everyone, including the doctors, by living

“She’s my role model. She never gave up in school,” Garcilazo said. “She wanted to be a nurse in the nursing program. She didn’t stop what she was doing. She kept going to classes.”

Elizabeth Reyes credits her baby, Shaely, with her success in the nursing program, saying that Shaely was her “little miracle.”

“It’s weird, but sometimes when I would take tests and I wouldn’t know the answer. I would think of my baby and would say ‘oh Shaely, help me please’ and I would know everything,” Elizabeth Reyes said. “I don’t know. I cannot explain that. I feel like my baby has always been there for me and this (a nurse) is what I need to be.”

Elizabeth Reyes remembers the day that she went for her 19th week ultrasound and the doctor told her something was wrong with her child and she likely wouldn’t live to be born.

“I was shocked,” Elizabeth Reyes said. “I was waiting for him to say something bad, but not that bad. In that moment, my heart just stopped. My world stopped.

2 Faculty Senate discusses academic partnerships A llie C rome acrome@esubulle tin.com

Faculty Senate debated the possibility of partnering with Academic Partnerships, an online management program that will assist faculty with online courses, during their meeting Tuesday.

“A key factor in this is enrollment and revenue,” said David Cordle, provost. “It is potentially an opportunity to see significant increases in both.”

The university intends for the program to be used for Master ’s classes. When a professor is teaching an online course and the university adds another online section, Academic Partnerships will assign a ‘coach’ to assist the professor with grading, commenting, answering questions and leading assignments.

Academic Partnerships promises sustainable enrollment growth and optimal online student experiences, according to their website.

According to Cordle, the current proposal is for ten

years and the university will pay the company 50% of the tuition revenue for each student enrolled in a course with an Academic Partnerships coach.

Cordle hopes that by working with Academic Partnerships, Emporia State’s Master ’s programs will be able to expand their reach and gain more students.

Rob Catlett, president of Faculty Senate, director for the Center of Economic Education and assistant professor of mathematics and economics, brought up concerns regarding the amount of money that the program will cost the university.

“We’re going to be talking about hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of dollars, and we could hire some really talented people for that same amount of money,” Catlett said.

Recent phone calls likely part of phishing scam A llie C rome acrome@esubulle tin.com

The Bulletin has received numerous phone calls from people in the 620 area code who are concerned about calls that have been coming from The Bulletin’s number.

These phone calls are not sponsored by The Bulletin and have nothing to do with The Bulletin.

The calls, which start-

ed going out on Oct 9, are most likely part of a phishing scam intended to gather personal information. According to callers, they’ve received voicemails and calls about insurance information and pending claims.

There have been approximately 86 calls to The Bulletin’s phone number since Oct. 9, most of which have been about the scam, according to the call logs.

According to one caller, her teenage son received nine calls in a row from The Bulletin’s number.

“Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about others spoofing The Bulletin’s phone number and using it as the caller-ID for scamming calls,” said Cheryl Alvarado, the university’s Voice Network Administrator and Data Center Manager. “We have no way of knowing

where those calls actually originate from.”

According to IT’s call records, The Bulletin’s main extension has not placed any outgoing calls within the last month.

“We can be certain the spamming calls did not originate from The Bulletin,” Alvarado said.

The Bulletin has filed a report with ESU Campus Police.

Collegiate Republicans reinstated as RSO R ayna K arst rkarst@esubulle tin.com

The Emporia State University Collegiate Republicans have recently been reinstated as an Associated Student Government Registered Student Organization after being rescinded last year due to a miscommunication during the application process.

“We try to have students be informed about the Republican side of politics, and just be given the opportunity that if they want to see what that looks like,” said Grayce McAllister, president of the ESU Collegiate Republicans and junior business administration major. “Or, if they share that same view, to have an outlet.”

The purpose of the Collegiate Republicans is to encourage and promote the ideals of the Republican party on campus and to create opportunities for student involvement through participation in the organization and its sponsored events, according to the Constitution of the Emporia State Collegiate Republicans.

“It is important to have groups like this on campus to help students participate

It helps them meet like-minded people interested in politics, which is always a good thing.”

The group normally has one regular meeting every month

where they plan on bringing in a visiting speaker, such as a legislator or the Kansas State Collegiate Republican President, Taylor Latham, to talk with the group, according to McAllister. They then have a second meeting called a social meeting, where they might go rollerskating, get ice cream or do other fun activities.

Last year the group went to the Capitol in Topeka for a Leadership Day, according to McAllister.

“We got to meet with Governor Brownback and several of the other staffers up there, which was an awesome experience,” McAllister said.

The Collegiate Republicans also collaborated with the Lyon County Republicans to host an event commemorating President Eisenhower and walked for Senator Jeff Longbine and other representatives who were running for office, McAllister said.

ESU student runs social media for campus ducks

M egan S heckells

msheckells@esubulle tin.com

Kathryn Jackson, freshman biology pre-med major, has created three different social media accounts featuring the ducks on Emporia State’s campus.

“I just really (enjoy) the ducks,” Jackson said. “It was something that made me smile, and I was already taking pictures of them, and I thought why not make a fan page?”

The ducks currently have social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

The Twitter and Instagram handle is @esu_ducks and the Facebook page is named ESU Ducks. The twitter page is the most popular account with almost 300 followers.

“I definitely love the page,” said Miriam Ward, freshman nursing major. “I’ll be scrolling on Facebook and I’ll just see a post of the ducks and it just brightens up my day a little bit.”

The accounts take submissions of photos and sometimes has help from friends with

captions, but Jackson runs the pages on her own.

“I would say about 80 percent are original from me, and then 20 percent are submissions,” Jackson said. “I don’t get a lot, but when I do I always try to include their name.”

According to Jackson they may have accidentally renamed some of the ducks after they were named last semester by the elementary and preschool students in Emporia.

“Duck Service Announcement. The duck with the dark beak is Quack-tain Jack Sparrow, and the one with the black dot over his eye is Gerald,” a post on the ducks’ twitter account read.

Mark Runge, director of university facilities, said that the ducks will be wintered off campus with Patrick Renfro, an HVAC specialist at the University Facilities, who rescues other animals as well.

We stand with The Sunflower STAFF EDITORIAL

In the age of fake news, one thing is incredibly important to remember: just because you don’t like what the news is saying doesn’t mean it is “fake news.”

The only thing that makes fake news, fake is when the reporting is filled with lies and is proven to be false.

This is important to remember now, more than ever, especially on the local level.

On the national scale, people are slandering news sources as “fake news” because they don’t like what they’re reporting. This is visible. Everyone sees this.

Everyone is talking about it.

But what people might not see, because it is not necessarily as visible, are the harmful effects that come from calling a news story “misleading” and “inaccurate” just because the coverage is unflattering.

Especially when the

people name calling the news source, do it from a place of power.

This happened last week at Wichita State University when the campus newspaper, The Sunflower, published a story titled “Headcount Padding: Wichita State reports largest student increase in state.”

According to the article, WSU was able to increase their enrollment numbers with a “last-minute enrollment of non-degree-seeking senior citizens, high school students, and working professionals in half-credit-hour courses.”

In retaliation, the WSU university newsletter, WSU Today, published an article entitled “Sunflower enrollment article inaccurate, misleading.”

Every day, journalists come under fire for reporting the news and just trying to do their jobs.

Me Too

S arah S poon sspoon@esubulle tin.com

For most people this past week, their Facebook and Twitter timelines were flooded with posts saying “Me too.” Sometimes it was just the words themselves, while others took the time to tell a brief story about why they were posting the words.

The movement soon became a national phenomenon with news outlets covering the massive amount of people using the phrase “Me too” to show how commonplace sexual assault and sexual harassment is.

The movement seemed to unite the parties as everyone either realized or were reaffirmed in their belief that many people they knew were affected by sexual assault and sexual harassment in their everyday lives.

People began reacting in support to the movement

and began asking what they could do to help and how they could make things easier for women.

For a brief and shining moment, I thought “Yes. Finally. Something that we can unite on to better the world. Women might finally have a place in our society.”

I was so happy to see people I knew from ESU find their voice and “Me too.”

And then came the “Yes, buts.”

Yes, we understand you feel that you were sexually harassed, but maybe they were just trying to give you a compliment.

Yes, we know that you were sexually assaulted, but we’re still going to talk about how you were dressed when that happened. Oh and if you were drunk? We’re really going to crucify you.

Yes, we understand that you were raped and sexually assaulted, but we’re still not going to do anything about the piles and piles of rape kits molding away, waiting to be tested.

Yes, we know this horrible thing happened to you, but what about the hundreds of men that are falsely accused when they did nothing wrong? What about them?

Yes, we get that you were

The Bulletin is not arguing that journalists and newspapers should not be subject to scrutiny, but arguing that news outlets should not be bashed for reporting the truth, especially when The Sunflower’s article was backed up by irrefutable facts and figures.

When a source like WSU Today, whose only job is to pump up the university and make them look as good as possible, publishes articles like this, it is a disservice to the reader and to the students.

That is why we stand with WSU’s The Sunflower.

We respect and commend them for striving, as we do, to report the truth everyday.

This is why we also condemn the actions of WSU Today and any other University Public Relations depart- Cartoon By Sarah Spoon| The Bulletin ment who tries to smother the truth in order to make their university look good.

raped, but no, we still don’t want to make abortion accessible.

Yes, we understand that as a woman, a minority, or as a person in general, that every day you go outside you run the risk of being hurt, but we’re not going to do anything to fix it because when you’re powerless, we can hurt you and get away with it.

Yes, we understand your “experience,” but we’re not going to do anything to better your life. Except maybe offer some “thoughts and prayers.”

Honestly, I’m just tired of it. If you’re going to say “well as a father I…” or “well as a brother I…” just stop right there. Because you’re using your female relatives as an excuse to talk about something that you obviously care nothing about.

Otherwise, you’d show up when women ask you to.

You’d call out your sexist coworker when they make inappropriate jokes. You’d work for women’s rights.

You’d protest against the tampon tax. You’d work to help make birth control accessible for everyone.

You’d work for women and to help make a better, more equitable quality of life for everyone.

El milagro de Shaely inspira “Shaely’s Wish” G aby A mparan

g a m pa r a n @ e s u b u l l e t i n . c o m

Kappa Delta Chi conmemorará a Shaely DulceMaria Reyes, una infante que murió a los nueve meses del síndrome Edwards, con la promoción de Shaely’s Wish, una beneficia local.

KDC compartirá la historia de Reyes y venderá pulseras con santos a $3 y postres de las 9:30 a.m. a la 1 p.m. el viernes en el Union.

“Nos decían que no iba vivir por mucho tiempo, que iba fallecer pronto pero siempre lucho”, dijo Lily Garcilazo, tía de Reyes, presidenta de Kappa Delta Chi y estudiante de último año en psicología. “Vivió nueve meses. Vivióí durante el embarazo por nueve meses y después de eso otros nueve meses, entonces siempre sentí que fue un milagro para nosotros. No se esperaba que iba vivir y si lo pudo”.

Elizabeth Reyes, hermana de Garcilazo, es una estudiante de segundo año en enfermería y tiene esperanza de que Shaely’s Wish le de esperanza a otros padres y que asegure que su niña nunca sea olvidada.

Todos los fondos juntados serán donados directamente al hospital Children’s Mercy, o serán usados para comprar articulos para infantes en cuidados intensivos, según Reyes. Una tarjeta con la historia de Shaely vendrá con los regalos.

“Ella (Elizabeth) es mi ejemplo. Nunca se rindió en la escuela”, dijo Garcilazo.

“Quería ser una enfermera en el programa de enfermería. Nunca paro lo que estaba haciendo. Seguía yendo a clases”.

Elizabeth Reyes le da crédito a su niña, Shaely,

Lily Garcilazo, presidenta de Kappa Delta Chi y estudiante de último año en psicología, ve una foto el 8 de octubre en su casa de su sobrina, Shaely DulceMaria Reyes, quien falleció a los nueve meses del síndrome Edwards y quien fue la inspiración de “Shaely’s Wish”, la beneficia local de KDC. En la foto, Shaely Reyes está en los brazos de su mamá, Elizabeth Reyes, estudiante de segundo año en enfermeria, con su padre, Rubén Reyes y hermano Rubén Reyes. Sarah Spoon| The Bulletin

por su éxito en el programa de enfermería, diciendo que Shaely era su milagro.

“Es extraño, pero a veces cuando tomaba exámenes y no sabía la respuesta, pensaba en mi nina y decía ‘Ay Shaely, porfavor ayudame’ y sabía todo. No se. No lo puedo explicar. Siento que

mi niña siempre ha estado ahí por mi y esto (una enfermera) es lo que necesito que ser”.

Elizabeth Reyes recuerda el día que fue por su ultrasonido decimonono y el doctor le dijo que algo no estaba bien con su bebé y que era probable que no iba vivir

hasta nacimiento.

“Estaba en shock”, dijo Reyes. “Estaba esperando que dijera algo malo, pero no tan grave. En ese momento, mi corazón paró. Mi mundo paró. Todo paró. Trate de no llorar pero lloré sin parar.

Cuando al fin me calme, salí y me fui al carro. Es cuando empeze a llorar y gritar, ‘¿Porque Dios? ¿Porque?

Dime que esto no es cierto.

Esto no puede estar pasando. Este es mi bebé’”.

El doctor le dijo a Elizabeth Reyes que la niña podía fallecer en cualquier día y que si lograba nacer, solo viviría unos segundos.

“Me sentía sola en este mundo”, dijo Reyes. “Me sentía asustada, estaba enojada. Le dije a mi esposo que no le íbamos a decir a nadie, que solo se iba quedar entre nosotros, porque no quería que los demás sintieran pena por mi y por mi hija. Queria que la gente la viera como una bebe chula, no una bebe enferma”.

Garcilazo sacrificó actividades, incluso se hizo inactiva de su sororidad por el semestre, para quedarse en casa y ayudar cuidar a su hermana y la bebe.

“Era muy difícil para mi hermana, pasar por todo el proceso”, dijo Garcilazo.

“Era muy difícil para mí ser un soporte, porque ella todavía estaba embarazada cuando ya estaban hablando del funeral de la niña. Era un sentimiento horrible porque no sabíamos cómo se iba ver (o) y si la íbamos a poder conocer”.

Shaely Reyes nació el 3 de marzo por operación cesárea y sorpriendó a todos, incluso a los doctores, cuando vivió por nueve meses.

“Recuerdo que la escuche llorar en el cuarto de operación y era increíble”, dijo

Elizabeth Reyes. “Era algo que no pensé que iba pasar.

No podía hablar muy bien por la anestesia entonces me esforcé para preguntarle a mi esposo ‘¿está bien?’

Se voltio y me dijo, ‘Si, está bien’”.

Lo que notaron inmediatamente de Shaely fueron sus ojos azules, que tenia de su abuelo paterno.

“Era una bebé muy, muy valiente”, dijo Garcilazo.

“Luchó hasta el mero final”.

Después de nueve meses, Shaely Reyes falleció en diciembre del 2016, después de que aspiró fórmula que estaba en sus pulmones.

“Estaba en camino a México cuando me llamó mi mamá y me dijo ‘necesitas que regresar’”, dijo Garcilaza. “Le pregunte “¿porque?

O no’, sentia que habia fallecido. Lo supe”.

Victoria Barragán, exestudiante de ESU, le pregunto a Garcilazo y a Reyes y si KDC podía conmemorar a Shaely y hacerla la inspiración para un beneficio local llamado “Shaely’s Wish”.

Estuvieron de acuerdo, y asi salio la idea para el evento mañana.

Los que quieren donar o comprar una pulsera pueden mandar correo electrónico a Garcilazo a lgarcila@g.emporia.edu.

KDC también planea tener un evento durante el mes de marzo para recaudar fondos para Shaely’s Wish.

“Ella es nuestro angelito”, dijo Garcilazo. “Nuestro angelito que necesitabamos.

Quiero que siempre la recuerdan. Esa es mi meta”.

Cuando le preguntaron de su hermana, Shaely Reyes, Rubén Reyes dijo dos palabras.

“Es bella”.

Estudiante de ESU corre cuentas de redes sociales para los patos del campus C esar S anchez

csanchez@esubulle tin.com

Kathryn Jackson, estudiante de primer año en biología y pre-medicina, ha creado tres cuentas diferentes de redes sociales presentando los patos en el campus de Emporia State.

“Realmente me encantan los patos”, dijo Jackson. “Fue algo que me hizo sonreír, y ya estaba tomando fotos de ellos, y pensé ‘¿porqué no hago una página de fans’”?

Al momento, los patos tienen cuentas en Facebook, Instagram y Twitter. El nombre de las cuentas de Twitter e Instagram es @esu_ducks y la cuenta de Facebook se llama ESU ducks. La cuenta de Twitter tiene casi 300 seguidores.

“Definitivamente amo la página”, dijo Miriam Ward, estudiante de primer año en enfermería. “Me la paso en Facebook y luego veo un post y me alegra el día un poco”.

Las cuentas aceptan sumisiones de fotos y a veces recibe ayuda de amigos para las leyendas, pero Jackson man-

tiene las cuentas sola.

“Yo diría que casi 80 por ciento son original de mi parte, y luego 20 por ciento son sumisiones”, dijo Jackson. “No recibo tantas, pero cuando sí, siempre trato de incluir su nombre”.

De acuerdo con Jackson, accidentalmente les cambiaron los nombres a algunos de los patos que fueron nombrados por estudiantes de primaria y preescolar en Emporia el semestre pasado.

“Anuncio de servicio de pato. El pato con el pico oscuro es Quacktain Jack Sparrow, y el que tiene el punto negro arriba de su ojo es Gerald”, una publicación en la cuenta de Twitter dijo.

Mark Runge, director de instalaciones en instalaciones universitarias en campus, dice que los patos serán invernados con Patrick Renfro, un especialista de HVAC en instalaciones universitarias, quien rescata otros animales también.

“Quiero recordarles a los estudiantes ‘no les den comida’”, dijo Runge. “Verán letreros que dicen ‘comida de humanos significa la muerte de patos”.

ME ENCONTRASTE! Parece que estoy haciendo mi trabajo!

ESU grad student has internship with nature conservatory D ustin B ittel d b i tt e l @ e s u b u l l e t i n . c o m

Emporia State first-year graduate student in the biology department, Kelsey Porter, interned with the Nature Conservatory this past summer. As part of her internship, Porter helped with the Healthy Streams initiative and was awarded the Lance Hedges Conservation award.

“I found out about it (the internship) last summer when I worked out at Strong City for the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, it is also owned by the Nature Conservancy,” Porter said. “The internship was through ESU and that kind of got me connected with TNC.” As part of her internship, Porter worked with Heidi Mehl, the Field Healthy Streams for Kansas Initiative manager for the Nature Conservatory.

“One of the things that really struck me about Kelsey right off the bat Photo Courtesy of Laura Rose Clawson | The Bulletin was how hard she works,” Mehl said. “She’s also very

talented when it comes to the more academic work so I was really impressed with her ability to grasp these issues and really pulled together high level information.”

Some of Porter ’s duties during her internship included assisting Mehl develop the program, research best ways to remove invasive woody species, field work, stream evaluations and fish and muscle sampling.

“I loved how much freedom they gave me,” Porter said. “There was a lot of times where I could come up with something I wanted to research or put together a document for the rest of the staff so they were really cool about indepently learning different things. ” The Lance Hedges Conservation Award was established in memory of Lance Hedges, former Kansas director of conservation for The Nature Conservancy, by the Hedges family. It is a scholar-

ship of at least $1,000 to be applied toward academic expenses, expenses related to a professional development experience (such as attendance at a conservation conference) and/or another expense that is directly related to advancing the recipient’s education or experience with wildlife conservation, according to Laura Rose Clawson, director of marketing and outreach for the conservatory.

“The recipient is selected based on their enthusiasm and dedication to wildlife conservation (or a related field), professional involvement in the field, and academic performance,” Clawson said.

Porter hopes to graduate in two years from ESU and then would love to have a job that involves rangeland management or burning and fire practices.

She would also like to find a mix between conservation biology and agricultural and be a liaison between the two.

Registration for annual London trip begins S arah S poon sspoon@esubulle tin.com

Applications for a 10day study abroad trip on May 22-31, 2018 to London, are now open. The preliminary application and $350 deposit is due by Nov. 8 to Mel Storm, professor of English, modern languages and journalism.

“I couldn’t begin to count the number of times (I’ve been to London) but I never tire of going back,” Storm said. “I truly enjoy introducing people to the city, showing them the city for the first time. It’s a wonderful city.”

The application and deposit should be brought to the English, modern languages and journalism department on the fourth floor of Plumb Hall, according to Storm. Checks should be made out to Emporia State.

If more than 20 people Mel Storm, professor of English, modern languages and journalim, presents apply, there will be a waitinformation on his London trip to a group of 34 students Oct. 10 in Plumb Hall. Preliminary applications and the $350 deposit are due Nov. 8. Sarah Spoon | The Bulletin

“It is the farthest thing you can get from a guided tour,” Storm said. “You’re not going to be following me around the streets of London...It’s really a travel experience. I try to keep things as flexible and as optional as possible.”

This will be Storm’s 10th year taking students to London. The program is open to all of campus, and last year 10 different departments sent students to London, according to Storm.

“If you’re going to go on the London trip, you will enroll in EG 530, and that is three hours of upper level English,” Storms said. “If you’re not an English (major or minor) then those are elective hours, but if you are an English (major or minor) it’s an upper level undergraduate class.”

Students will be required to complete a project that

will make them an “expert” about that part of London.

Students interested in going to London, should apply for their passports as soon as possible. For first time applicants, passports are $135.00, according to travel.state.gov.

The cost of the trip will be around $3,000, according to Storm.

“There are lots of free things in London,” Storm said. “One joke about London is the museums are free but you have to pay to get into the churches...There are lots of free things to do and lots of things you pay for, but things you pay to do aren’t usually very expensive.”

Students are encouraged

by Storm to apply for the Study Abroad Travel Grant.

The $800 grant is available to students who have a 3.25 GPA or above and must be applied for by March 24, according to emporia.edu.

National Day on Writing celebration D ustin B ittel dbit tel@esubulle tin.com

The composition program within the English, Modern Language and Journalism department will be celebrating National Day on Writing from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. tomorrow in the Memorial Union main street.

The event is free.

“This year, we will enter all participating students into a raffle for a gift certificate to Ellen Plumb’s City Bookstore, our favorite local, indie bookstore,” said Katherine O’Meara, director of the composition program and assistant professor of English, modern languages and journalism. “To be entered in the drawing, you need to post on social media using both hashtags #WhyIWrite and #NDOW2017, as well as tagging the social media profile(s) for the Department of English, modern languages, and journalism.”

There will be several interactive activities at the events table, including a number of questions posed on large pieces of paper that relate to writing that students can add their ideas to

“Writing is a vital skill that extends beyond the two composition classes you may take here at ESU,” O’Meara said. “You

Natasha Schamberger, CPA and CEO and President of the Kansas Society of CPAs, speaks to students about the benefits of a career in accounting in Webb Hall yesterday morning.

will write in all your classes across all the disciplines on the ESU campus, and you will be sure to face writing situations in any job. Writing and communicating well is something we should all strive for.”

This is the first celebration of NDOW at ESU, according to O’Meara. NDOW is an event

that was created by the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE).

“NDOW is important because it showcases the many ways, reasons, and places that we write,” O’Meara said. “It celebrates the joy of writing and recognizes its evolution—from handwritten texts, to typed and

word-processed documents, to the digitally-mediated posts we write every day on platforms like Twitter and Facebook.”

The event was created on the premise that writing is critical to literacy but needs greater attention and celebration, according to whyiwrite.us.

NDOW also endorses multimedia texts that combine writing with other media, such as photos, videos, and music, according to O’Meara.

“NCTE has dubbed the event a “tweetup,” where disparate writing programs, English departments, and schools across the country can join forces over social media using the official hashtag #WhyIWrite,” O’Meara said. “Folks from all over the United States participate in this event, including writers at Emporia State University.”

Last year’s NDOW garnered over 60,000 tweets, according to ncte.org.

“What we hope to share through this event is the fact that writing is so much more than a requirement for school or work,” O’Meara said. “It can be therapeutic, transformative, and fun.”

Luke Pell, former contestant on the television series “The Bachelorette” and country music singer, will visit ESU and perform at 7 p.m. next Wednesday in Albert Taylor Hall. Pell will perform his latest single “Closer,” among other songs at this event which is free to students and community members.

“The school provides the (Union Activities Council) with a budget every year to host these kinds of events,” said Nikki Rice, sophomore elementary education major.

Some of Pell’s other songs include “Best thing you’ve ever done,” “Tungsten steel,” and “Fall of Me.” Pell is also a veteran of the U.S. army, having worked in various positions throughout the 101st Airborne Division and Division West First Army, according to Pell’s Linkedin page.

He left active duty as a captain in 2012.

Pell was educated at West Point where he studied sociology and systems engineering, according to his Linkedin page.

Pell is currently touring the country to perform at several locations. According to lukepell. com, he will perform in New Braunfels, Texas on the 21st before coming to ESU. His next scheduled stop is on the 27th in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

The Union Activities Council will also host Brian Banks, advocate for the California Innocence Project and member of

Other upcoming UAC events include the homecoming bonfire and a showing of the movie “Thor” at the B&B theater in the mall on Industrial Road.

“Me Too” spreads awareness of sexual assault, harassment D ustin B ittel dbit tel@esubulle tin.com

Across all social media platforms, people of every gender, race and background, are using #MeToo to help spread awareness to the commonplace of sexual assault and harassment.

The hashtag also expresses that those who have used it have been victims of similar misconduct.

“When you’re comfortable don’t be silent,” Rochelle Rowley, assistant professor of sociology, anthropology and crime and delinquency studies, said.

“Silence is how it keeps going. ” It began to spread after actress Alyssa Milano tweeted “If you’ve been sexually harassed or assaulted write ‘me too’ as reply to this tweet” on Sunday, according to an article by The

New York Times.

“I believe this is an important ‘trend’ because it shows how many people that have actually been affected by sexual assault or sexual harassment,” Lane Hoyt, senior business administration major, said in an email.

“I think this subject is one that society doesn’t like to talk about openly or often enough, and “Me too” is just society taking one step closer to being more open to the discussion.”

An article by CBS News states that the original movement began with Tarana Burke, a black female activist and founder of the Me Too movement, who said “she created the movement in 2007 to let young women of color who survive sexual assault know that they are not alone.”

“I think it has a decent im-

pact but I think it could have more of an impact if it wasn’t a topic that was necessarily considered shameful,” Melissa Denning, senior rehabilitation services education major, said.

“I know there’s a lot of people who are afraid to post it on their Facebook...That’s really common with this topic is that people tend to talk negatively about the individual instead of about the incidents.”

The recent trend appears to have begun as a result of the decades of sexual harassment allegations made against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein “I chose to post it because a lot of people don’t realize how many people are truly in similar shoes as them,” Kathryn Martin, ESU alum, said in an email.

“People might look at someone and think, ‘woah they graduated college and got a full time job right away, their life is perfect.’ When in reality, a lot of women overcome these things in private.”

There have been similar awareness campaigns on social media in the past, like ones where individuals would post only the first name of their rapist or assaulter, the #YesAllWomen campaign and the #SexismEv-

eryday campagin.

“It’s allowing a lot of people to see that it happens to everyone and that it can happen to anyone,” Madison William, junior psychology major, said.

“My dad kinda doesn’t see this stuff happen so I’m hoping maybe he sees it and says ‘oh my gosh this can even happen

to my daughter and I may not know about it.’ Just because you don’t know about it doesn’t mean it’s not there.”

Emporia State offers free counseling services to all students and can be contacted at 620 341-5222 to schedule an appointment for any individual that needs to talk.

Missouri Southern opened the third set strong and won 19-25.

During the fourth set, the Hornets won the final 25-23.

The following day, the Hornets added another win to their record against Southwest Baptist University.

There is a term used by many college football teams across the country called “12th man.” As football is played with 11 players on the field at a time, the 12th man refers to the crowd and fans being that extra “player’’ the team needs to be successful.

While it may be more widely used at bigger, more notable Division 1 programs, I think that the students and fans at Emporia State can easily be considered that 12th man for the Hornets. I want to say thank you.

And let’s not limit it to just football. You all are the 12th man for our soccer team too. And the 6th man for the Hornet men and women’s basketball teams, the 7th man for our volleyball team, the 10th man for Hornet baseball and softball. As a student-athlete myself on the track and field

team, even my teammates and I feel a presence when the stands of Welch Stadium begin to fill up for some of our home track meets.

I think I can speak for all of our student athletes when I say that we see you, we hear you, and we appreciate you when you take the time to watch and support us in our athletic events.

It can be tough. Practicing, lifting weights, doing it day in and day out.

But knowing that Hornet nation is behind us, it makes it all worth it.

Friday, ESU soccer will host Northwest Missouri State at 3:00 p.m. Be their 12th man.

Saturday, ESU football plays the Gorillas of Pittsburg State at home in a huge matchup. Be their 12th man.

You have no idea the impact you have on our teams and our athletes.

I couldn’t be more proud to be a Hornet. I think that our university and our athletics program stands for so much more than just sports. Character, integrity, and a first-class representation of ESU are all things our student-athletes strive to exemplify.

And we couldn’t do it without you. We couldn’t play without you. We couldn’t win without you.

So thank you, Hornet nation. You truly are our 12th man.

Emporia State’s offense overtook the scoreboard in a 41-30 win over Lindenwood University last Saturday. The Hornets recorded a season-high 612 offensive yards against the Lions.
