For the last couple weeks, Emporia State and the Emporia community have been combining efforts to raise food donations for Can the Bods. This effort is organized by the Associated Student Government as a competition against Washburn University.

The winner of Can the Bods will get to pie the other student

government president in the face. However, the ultimate goal is to help provide struggling students with food, according to Michael Webb, ASG president and senior business administration major.

“My duty is to implement the process on campus, coordinating who’s gonna be working with advertising and identifying different ways that we can engage students, faculty and staff throughout the process,” Webb

said. “Speaking with other departments and seeing how we can delegate the responsibilities.”

Dylan Schneider, sophomore elementary education, said that student awareness of the event has grown.

Homecoming runs through Saturday, with current, future and past Hornets gathering at Emporia State for multiple events. The culmination of the week is Saturday’s football game, where the Homecoming King and Queen will be announced.

The candidates are Kyler Akagi, senior social sciences education major; Ana Ballon, senior sociology major; Sawyer Barragan, senior spanish major; Kara Kolar, senior nursing major; Matt Mahr, senior theater major; Shelby Martin, senior physical health education major. Selena Martinez, senior nursing major; Megan McReynolds, senior political science major; Paul Reichenberger, senior business education major; and Michael Webb, senior business administration major.

“I believe the purpose of Homecoming is a time to bring students, alumni, faculty, and family together to enjoy another great time at Emporia State University,” said Natalie Picksee PIPPIN page 7 erell, president of SPURS and junior health promotions major. “When it comes to Homecoming royalty, we as a group (SPURS) have organized the event since 2010 after the group Cardinal Key was in charged.”

Emporia State’s upcoming production of “Pippin” will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 1820 and a 2 p.m. matinee Oct. 21 in Karl C. Bruder Theater in King Hall.

Jim Bartruff, director and professor of theater and communications, and Matthew Mahr, senior theater major, spoke about their preparation for the show, challenges and prior experience with the theater.

“I was a much younger person when I performed (in Pippin),” Bartruff said. “But it is a play that I’ve known for a long time and like very much. Now that I’ve gotten the opportunity to direct it, I’m very glad to have had that opportunity.”

Bartruff has had the opportunity to see, direct and perform in various productions and performances of “Pippin” and said that the upcoming show will be his favorite version yet.

“Pippin is historically one of 19 illegitimate children of Charlemagne, the self-proclaimed Emperor of the Holy Roman

Empire,” Bartruff said. “It is about a young man who has graduated from college and is trying to find his place in life and wants to see that his life has meaning.”

Despite illnesses within the cast and production team, the production has gone relatively smoothly, according to Bartruff.

“We have made some conscious decisions based upon financial restraints that we are living within,” Bartruff said.

“But in some ways that forces us and allows us to be more creative and to find more creative solutions. I think we’ve made some interesting solutions that will pay off.”

Bartruff is referencing budget cuts the department is facing in the wake of funding cuts to the Performing Arts Board made by the Associated Student Government as reported by The Bulletin.

The 33.5 percent reduction in funds has not stopped the determination of his students, Bartruff said.

Masquerade ball to raise money for suicide prevention charity Emma Sha Staff Writer

The Beacon for Hope Suicide Prevention organization will hold an Unmasking Suicide Masquerade Ball to supporting those affected by suicide by raising funds through attendance fees and a silent auction. The ball will be at 6 p.m. Oct. 20 in Clint Bowyer Building. The cost

to attend will be $30 for a single person and $50 for a couple.

The funds will funds raised will pay for community members to go to formal suicide prevention training.

“We have a bunch of items that people donated to us, and we will start out the price,” Melissa Kurtenbach, executive director of Beacon for Hope. “It’s a silent auction so people will go

and write on their name and bet on the item...Instead of yelling out, it is a silent one, so it will not interrupt our festivities.”

For the masquerade ball, people do not have to dress up, but they will need to bring a mask to symbolically take off at 8p.m., according to Kurtenbach.

“We will have a DJ and we dance,” Kurtenbach said. “Casa Ramos is catering for some Mex-

Senate passes consenting relationship resolution Sarah Spoon Editor-in-Chief

Faculty Senate passed a resolution concerning consenting relationships on campus during their meeting Tuesday. The resolution asked for the current consenting relationship policy to be removed in its entirety and to be completely replaced.

The resolution states that it “prohibits consenting romantic or sexual relationships between all employees and/or students when a professional and/or an educational power differential exists between the persons involved in such a relationship.”

The Resolution for Update of Consenting Relationships Policy passed with 24 senators in favor,

2 against and 3 abstentions. It was sent to President Allison Garrett yesterday, according to Steve Lovett, president of Faculty Senate and assistant professor of business administration.

The resolution also requests that persons in a relationship on campus that would violate this policy to disclose their situation and asks that a management plan be made to “eliminate or avoid power differentials.”

Dan Miller, senator and associate professor of Mathematics and Economics, questioned why this topic would be passed as a resolution instead of a bill.

“Why is this being done is a resolution rather than a proposal?” Miller said. “It seems to me that (we’re) saying ‘We need

a change’...and then explaining a pretty detailed philosophy that should go behind a policy, (without having an actual policy).”

The reason for the resolution is that the policy originated in the Presidents Office, according to Gregory Schneider, second vice president and professor of social sciences.

“I feel like that cedes authority to administration unnecessarily,” said Michael Behrens, senator and assistant professor of English, modern languages and journalism. “I understand your reasons (to make it a resolution), I just don’t agree with it.”

The next Faculty Senate meeting will be at 3:30p.m. Oct. 30 in the Skyline room.

DJ Will Rapp, from Wichita, will play pop music for people to dance and will take requests.

Casa Ramos, 707 Commerciaal St., will cater food as a buffet, which is paid for out of the ticket price, according to Kurtenbach.

There will also be a “step and repeat,” which is taking a photo

on the red carpet with the logo behind, and the Beacon for Hope will post those pictures on their Facebook page.

Beacon for Hope is a suicide prevention non-profit community founded by Kurtenbach in 2017, and it is as a tribute to the memory of her sister lost to suisee BALL page 6

Event to raise awareness for breast cancer Lucas Lord Staff Writer

The Student Wellness Center is currently accepting bra donations of any style, make or size for their upcoming Bras Across the Bridge project. They will place the donated bras across Wooster bridge to raise awareness about breast cancer and prevention methods.

“We are going to donate (the bras) to a local charity organization, Abundant Harvest,” said Mary Anschutz, Student Wellness Center director. “Unlike many organizations that sell clothing that is donated, they actually give it away. So that’s why we chose them. We know that they will reach the hands of those who are in need.”

Aside from offering clothing, Abundant Harvest, 1028 Whittier, offers a food kitchen to anyone in need.

“We had wanted to do something that would promote early detection and empower women to take control of their chances, bodies and health,” said Morgan McReynolds, freshman undecided major.

“We thought this would be a great

way to get people’s attention.”

While uncommon, young women do get cancer, according to Anschutz.

“We want younger women to understand that and take charge of their future,” Anschutz said.

Anschutz highlighted some available resources for breast cancer which include the Student Wellness Center and the American Cancer Society.

“We just wanted to get it out there that it is possible for it to happen to students that are our age,” said Chelsea Cowart, junior nursing major. “I have a family history of it so I know that it is important for me to know all this educational material. I just want to share it with everyone else. Not only can it affect me but it can also affect a whole bunch of girls on campus as well as guys.”

This is a new event for the Student Wellness Center and is intended to spread about breast cancer.

“This is the first year we’ve tried this,” Anschutz said. “We are planning on building upon it every year so whatever happens this year with the event we will be happy with and

just build on that.”

The three agreed that being the first year of the Bras Across the Bridge project, it has been difficult to set up, from logistics, to scheduling conflicts with sororities, but that they are overall excited to begin.

The Student Wellness Center will be tabling 11-2p.m. October 2225 in the Union and are asking for

a minimum of a $2 donation for a pink rubber duck honoring someone’s fight with breast cancer.

Names will be read at the event

by Melanie Curtis, a survivor of breast cancer, at 7p.m. on Thursday October 25 as the ducks are released into Wooster Lake. Attendees are encouraged to wear pink to the event in support of breast cancer awareness.

FAC looks to increase teacher rewards Gage Simpson Copy Editor

Following a Faculty Senate resolution that was in favor of keeping the existing faculty rewards system, the Faculty Affairs Committee looked at increasing the amount of potential awards that faculty can receive.

The committee focused on increasing the number of awards given out in contracts. Theis review of the system follows direction from the Kansas Board of Regents that centers on improving the faculty development system.

“The resolution said ‘We like what we’ve got…now we want to help you figure out what the next piece looks like,’” said Sheryl Lidzy, chair of FAC and associate

professor of communication and theater.

That next piece might be adding more rewards for staff at ESU. “Not only provides encouragement for junior faculty, but (gives them something to do and) put on their (curriculum vitae) when they go up for tenure,” said Brendan Fay, associate professor in the school of library and information management.

A curriculum vitae is a record of accomplishments used to apply toward professional research or education careers, according to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. It is the academic equivalent of a resume.

Fay also said that some professors going up for tenure don’t have anything to show for their

career at ESU. Another issue discussed was development for non-tenure track professors.

“We need to have some provision to accommodate (them), without watering down the tenure process,” said George Durler, professor of business administration. “Is there a way to give them more job security?”

Some professors had on-hand experience with job insecurity.

“We’ve always had one or two instructors,” said Majorie Bock, professor of elementary and special education. “It was a year by year contract and both of (them) felt such insecurity that they felt they had to take on every single assignment thrown at them by administration…They felt that

London trip now accepting applications Daisy Gonzalez Staff Writer

A group of Emporia State students will be going to London, England for 10 days next summer. The trip has been going on for 11 consecutive years.

Applications are now open for the trip and will cost around $2,000 per person.

“I used to limit the group to 16 but kept raising the number year by year because so many good students wanted to go,” said Mel Storm, professor of English, modern languages and journalism. “I now have it capped at 24, and I’m not going to let it go higher than that.”

Students will have the opportunity to spend their days in London visiting places like Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, the Tower of

London, St. Paul’s Cathedral, the British Museum, the British Library, and the Globe Theatre, according to emporia.edu.

ESU also offers a one-time travel grant through the Office of International Education to undergraduates with a GPA of 3.25 or better for $400, which can be raised to $500 or $600 depending on need, to assist with the travel costs. The grant for graduate students is a $250.

“The program offers a great deal of flexibility for participants while in London. One can live extravagantly day by day or be frugal,” Storm said. “I estimate that for an undergraduate if one receives the maximum grant one will need roughly an additional $2000 to cover everything, …Also, because the program counts as a summer class, financial aid can apply.”

Police Reports

Courtney Sleezer, senior English and communication major, went on the trip last summer.

“I had never been outside of the country or flown before,” Sleezer said. “Dr. Storm was very helpful along the way giving travel advice and helping our group to schedule trips outside of London to places like Stonehenge and Hampton Court.”

One of the things Storm tells the students is that he doesn’t lead a tour, Sleezer said. The students have the ability to go and do what they like, within reason.

“The best part about going to London is that you’re never bored,” Sleezer said. “Everywhere you turn there is something to do or see. In the short 10 days, it’s impossible to see everything. But, it encourages a return to the city.”

They will stay in central London in Bloomsbury, according to Storm. There will be opportunities to go to places outside London like Hampton Court, Salisbury, Bath, Stonehenge and Oxford depending on what students are interested.

An initial deposit of $350 is required before the application to Storm is considered complete. Storm is taking applications now.

they were overburdened and overused.”

Durler suggested a multiyear contract for non-tenure track instructors.

“I think a dean…should be able to say ‘Okay, next time it’s going to be a two-year contract,” Durler said.

Durler worked at Kansas State as a non-tenure track professor.

“You never knew if you had a job until May…and I had to cover my own insurance during the summer,” Durler said. “Eventually I said ‘Screw it.’”

The committee also considered merit pay for non-tenure track instructors.

Academic Dishonesty committee members selected Allie Crome Managing Editor

The Committee on Campus Governance selected the five members that will serve on the Academic Dishonesty Committee during their Oct. 9 meeting The selection process was done randomly using a selection tool during the meeting.

“My understanding, from Dr. Cordle, is even though it does not specify in the actual UPM, it is ‘you’ve been randomly selected so you have to do it,’” said Bethanie O’Dell, chair of the COCG and virtual learning librarian.

Those selected are John Wade, professor of psychology; Chad Wiley, associate professor of math and economics; Cynthia Kane, professor in University Libraries and Archives; Amanda Lickteig, assistant professor in the School of Leadership and Middle and Secondary Teacher Education; and Lidan Fan, assistant professor of business administration.

Emporia State’s policy manual requires the committee to have at least one tenured member, which will be Wade.

It is also required that there be one member from each of the

schools or colleges at ESU. This will be the first Academic Dishonesty Committee at ESU, since this is the first occasion of reported academic dishonesty following the creation of the “XF” designation, according to O’Dell.

An “XF” designation is added onto a transcript in cases of academic dishonesty, which include cheating, plagiarism, or other academically unethical activities, according to the university policy manual.

The Academic Dishonesty Committee will evaluate faculty requests to assign a “XF” grade to a student, according to the policy manual. Members will hear from both the faculty member reporting the incident and the student, according to the policy manual.

Members of the COCG committee also voted to have the first members of the Academic Dishonesty committee serve one year terms.

“I think for fairness too, rotating it is better to keep it neutral,” said Stephanie Lanter, assistant professor of art.

The next COCG committee meeting will be 3:30 p.m. Oct. 30 in the Xi Phi room.

twenty one pilots “Jumpsuit” offers comfort to students “twenty one pilots,” a two man band known for their strange usage of capitalization, themes that reach college kids and their genre bent music, newest album starts off with a bang. Heading their title song, “Jumpsuit” that is quite enjoyable.

The video is a creative one.

It opens with the lead singer, Tyler Joseph, on a burning car,

and the scenes jump between that and him walking in a canyon surrounded by people in jumpsuits and masks. Then, the singer is drawn into following a man wearing a red cape on a white horse.

People above him start throwing petals and it wakes the singer from his trance then he starts running away.

The lyrics reflect this symbol-

ism, speaking about the singer hating the pressure of being in a new place and how he hopes his jumpsuit will make him feel safe.

I think most students can relate to this, especially those moving away from home for the first time. Students are looking for a safe place to be themselves and the pressure of a new place, such as college, can sometimes feel like too much.

I believe this is a familiar feeling for students, as we sometimes are desperate for any sort of protection.

Students could also relate to their next song, “Levitate,” which continues the video of “Jumpsuit.”

This song has a little more rap and the lyrics are very inspirational and deep. They remind me of Eminem a little bit, except twenty one pilots skips the profanity.

Joseph continues to accompany the petal throwers.

He arrives at their village and

they shave his head, giving him new clothes matching theirs.

They celebrate him joining the tribe, however, the man in the red cape comes back and drags the singer away again.

The parallel between this imagery and the experience of coming to a new school and becoming indoctrinated with school spirit is all too similar.

Students can relate to coming to a new place and, hopefully, making new friends, but sometimes the pressures of school and life weighs so heavily it feels like every step forward sees you being dragged back.

“My Blood” is another noteworthy song from the album and has a very heartfelt and interesting video.

As we come to college we begin to realize that our heroes are a little less hero-esque and we must look to ourselves for answers and for comfort.

This theme is clear in “My Blood.”

3 In the music video, a little boy watches his mom in a hospital bed and the family learns she isn’t going to make it. The boy is comforted by an older brother who takes him away from the room so the mother can rest.

The older brother protects the younger one in snapshots, helping him with homework, his social life and even getting him to live a little on the edge.

Towards the end, bullies come and start beating the older brother, so the younger brother steps in and saves him.

Suddenly, the older brother disappears and it turns out he was never there; the kid had done everything himself.

The lyrics are about staying with the kid, almost like his mother was watching out for him by giving him an imaginary big brother.

Like the child, we, as students of ESU, must be the heroes of our own stories.

Debate team competes at home tournament Margaret Mellott Copy Editor

Over Fall Break, the Emporia State debate team held their annual tournament at ESU. In total, 73 students from 12 schools and seven states competed, according to Chris Loghry, instructor and director of debate. ESU bowed out in the octofinals.

“Keryk (Kuiper) and I made it to octofinals,” Squid Monteith, senior speech and theater education major. “Then Nico (Sims) and Matt (LaMunyon), I’m not sure what they got in prelims, but didn’t end up

breaking. But, they did really good though because I remember they had a couple of good wins against some tough teams.”

At ESU, the debate tournament operates a little differently than normal tournaments, according to Monteith.

“This is really cool,” Monteith said. “I’m not sure how this tournament has been doing this, but this is the only tournament that I’ve seen to do it, where once you break you outrounds, you have the seeds...and the top seed...picks someone to challenge. If they want, they want to challenge the second seed and just do like a top seed show-

down, they can...They get to pick what they want it to be.”

In the late 2000s, Samuel Maurer, former director of debate, created the rules and started doing the challenge style finals. Loghry was a student at ESU at that time and said he appreciates that the tradition has been continued.

“I was a student here at that time, I was on the debate team,” Loghry said. “I thought it was really cool then and fortunately the directors between Sam and me continued the tradition.”

Courtney Schauer, assistant director of debate, said that debate is a learning experience.

“The thing about debate is it’s really like a high-impact learning experience…,” Schauer said.

According to Monteith, there was a moment during round five when they were faced with a challenge, but through teamwork, they were able to pull together and win the round.

“In round five, we were debating this team that we had a really good idea of what they were reading,” Monteith said.

“Keryk and I had discussed doing a bit of a shakeup with our strategy where we would switch speaker positions. But, we hadn’t quite been sure as to whether or

not we were going to this yet.

However, Keryk got sick right before round five.”

While Keryk was out sick, there was a rallying moment.

“We were sitting a room and even though,...” Monteith said. “Everyone else, in terms of coaching, they had a lot of responsibilities at the tournament, there was a moment where, what would be crisis moment, wasn’t a crisis...Everyone came to our room and contributed what they could...It just really felt good. It felt like you have people in your corner to help you when they see that something concerning is happening.”

EDITORIAL

4 A story worthy of F. Scott Fitzgerald In a time of tightening budgets, where professors are expected to do more and more for less pay. In a time where students are expected to deal with budget cuts to their majors and activities, like band, theater and music, the university president is being gifted a $1.8 million house.

Right now, President Allison Garrett is staying in a temporary house that the school is paying for.

This house was appraised at $277,000 in 2015 and $326,700 in 2016.

We understand the funds for the new house came from donations, not from state funds, but we feel this is matter of priorities.

Is it our priority that our president live in a mansion? Or is it a priority that our students get the best education possible?

The older house was built in 1960 and had problems, but they were fixable. There was an infestation situation and issues with the roof and plumbing.

These could’ve been fixed to make it livable, and surely it would have been cheaper than both buying a temporary home and building a new one.

According to an earlier story from The Bulletin, the Foundation has categorized its purchase of the temporary house as an investment.

They plan to sell it after the new one is built and turn a profit.

However, even if they turn a profit, it isn’t clear just where that money will be allocated.

Will they use it on the students?

More realistically, on another useless project to increase the “curb value’ of the campus? Unallocated as it is, it could go right into the President’s or Kansas Board of Regent’s pockets.

Also, within that same issue of The Bulletin, the foundation rationalized building the new, bigger house by claiming they can use it as a recruiting tool and as a setting to

Happy Homecoming everyone, and a “Stingers Up” to all of you. The air is crisp, and football is in full swing. It is that time of year.

As ESU celebrates Homecoming next week, however, one thing seems to be missing: the focus on the students.

Homecoming this year seems to be centered around alumni, and perhaps it has always been this way, but who knows? This is only my second year at ESU. The class of 1968 seems to be the shining star this year, and I can only assume that 1969 will be next. All of the events listed are centered around the previous generation of students, such as a wine tasting, as most undergraduates aren’t even of drinking age.

Now, you might be thinking, aren’t alumni relations important?

Absolutely, but the events

should be more focused on current students.

The Black and Gold Gala and Trivia Night are the only events listed on the Homecoming events page that seem inviting to students.

The other events hosted by the university include a Sigma Phi Epsilon alumni breakfast, an alumni and faculty breakfast that same morning and a classic rugby game with a reception at Radius, 610 Merchant St. Current students might not have the money to even pay for registration, let alone the time to help celebrate Homecoming with the alumni.

Perhaps there are other events put on by other groups that are centered around current students, but the university’s focus seems to be on alumni, which is disturbing given that they also look to them to donate.

Only a certain amount of that money goes back to students through scholarships or other grants.

Maybe choose events that students and alumni can celebrate together, or perhaps hold events that are exclusively for students.

But a narrow focus on donors gives the rich much more power than they likely need. While alumni relations are important, it’s time to give homecoming back to the students.

to a redundant showpiece rather than improving the quality of the education of the students?

Aren’t we all be in this together?

That’s what we were told last year when the cuts were justified to us.

The average student who might have to visit Corky’s Cupbord this

week in order to eat will not benefit from Garrett’s ritzy, Gatsby-like mansion.

Giving the president this kind of house leaves the rest of us staring across the bay at the green light of hope, wondering how the other side lives.

What, are you triggered?

conduct fundraisers. Surely, being a school that takes care of its students and faculty would serve as a better recruitment tool.

Maybe a school that has good salary and benefits could attract better professors, and a school that is attentive to the needs of student both during and after their attendance would bring the numbers the foundation is looking for.

Trying to shoehorn and excuse the excess of the construction by promising fundraisers is tone deaf.

There are plenty of places on campus to hold fundraisers.

Why does the school need to pay to build a new place when we have a wonderful ballroom that almost never sees use?

This project involves over a million dollars in donations that could have gone to the school itself.

This year, the Performing Arts Board faced cuts of 33 percent.

As women, there’s a lot we’re forced to endure. For many, we are taught to deal with fear and know that sexual harassment and rape is a huge possibility for our lives. One in four women, right?

It’s unfortunate that it’s normalized. Growing up, we’re taught to be careful walking alone (especially at night), not to wear certain clothes and to “shrug off” verbal harassment.

It shouldn’t be this way.

I know we like to think we’re a progressive campus, but in reality, we normalize rape culture and

sexual harassment. Saying it’s a “joke” is one way people seem to think that it makes it OK. However, cracking sexual “jokes” isn’t, and never will be, funny.

I hate to be “that person” that always brings up the fact that they’re vegetarian, but when I do, it always opens up room for this one specific joke.

“Oh, you don’t eat meat? Not even ‘man meat?’”

Guys really think this one is golden.

Sorry for being crude, but it’s my reality. As it’s the reality for so many other women.

This has been the joke from the start of high school to, apparently, now because it happened just a couple weeks ago.

I understand why men feel like they get a pass for this because it’s been normalized from such a young age. But we’re in college now.

They should know better—this isn’t funny, it’s not a joke, and it’s traumatizing.

When a friend first said this to me when I was a 14-year-old high

Should ESU allow couples to live together in the dorms?

Violet Porter Opinion Writer Although not the hot button issue it used to be, there are still a lot of strong opinions around when couples should start living together.

Some people, usually older generations, say you shouldn’t live together before marriage for moral or religious reasons.

However, the younger generations want to live together as soon as possible; sometimes as soon within a month or two of dating.

Despite whatever debate may or may not be going on, Emporia State does not let couples live in the same dorm room.

Looking in the Residence Hall Handbook, it’s clear that couples are not allowed to live in the same dorm, but it doesn’t go into detail or reasons why.

It could be any number of other reasons, but, whatever the long standing justifications, in modern times, should be allowed to room together.

Now, hear me out. If couples were allowed to live together, it would give students who are already in a long term relationship an easier place to be together.

Also, for the serious relationships, it gives a chance to know each other better; it gives them a chance to figure out if they can live with each other for the rest of their lives.

It also encourages them to work through difficult problems together

schooler, I didn’t understand, I played along.

I always play along because to respond to something like this isn’t easy. It catches you off-guard, and then you have to worry about whether or not you’re going to say the right thing.

Do you laugh it off? Do you tell them that was rude? What can I say, in a nice way so that they don’t react badly? How do I get out of this situation?

I was really hoping that being on a college campus, with older, more mature students would help keep things like this from happening. It’s an ignorant thought, but I guess I just hoped people would know better by now.

There are rules and regulations set in place to help prevent this, but that doesn’t mean it gets reported.

So please, when you see or hear a little “joke,” don’t just let it slide, say something.

And if you’re the one making the jokes, just stop. It’s not all that difficult to refrain from making an offensive joke.

in a setting where they can’t just run away.

Everyone attending ESU is an adult, and a huge part of growing up is being allowed to make mistakes.

While I do believe safeguards would have to be put in place, such as only being allowed to try cohabitation once. That way students aren’t being continually bounced from room to room. I don’t believe it’s completely fair to rule out living together as a whole.

I adamantly believe that couples should live together a long time before marriage.

I think it helps them to know what married life will be like. They can find out for sure if they can maintain healthy interactions in stressful situations together.

I do think we, as students, should be more vocal to our school about the changes we want like this one.

Schedule changes coming to Spaghetti Friday Daisy Gonzalez Staff Writer

Emporia Church of Christ is scaling back Free Spaghetti Friday to a monthly event, due to growing numbers of students attending.

Until this month, Free Spaghetti Friday was a weekly event. They will now being serving it only on the first Friday of each month.

For 15 years, the Church of Christ made batches of spaghetti, salad, corn, green beans and a variety of desserts for Emporia State students.

“At this point we are in a transition phase,” said Neil Taylor, minister at the church. “We have seen a large growth in the students that come to meals over the past 15 years that we have been serving them. When meals were first served we would have maybe 10 students come to those meals. This year we have been averaging close to 330 per week.”

The church is currently having a discussion as to whether they can continue doing Free Spaghetti Fridays.

“The ladies hope that we can keep doing it,” said Ginger Hass, church worker. “And some guys... they’ve never been here to see what we do, so they say ‘We think you need to do this.’”

The church will have a meeting to finalize plans.

“With having a lot more students then we have had in past years this caused a few concerns,” Hass said. “First, space and second, volunteers. Money is not a concern. We have been blessed greatly by God for this service.”

Another concern was mobility for the staff.

“The house the meals are served in is small and often presents space issues,” Taylor said.

“It’s hard to get around for both the volunteers and the students.

Also, we have lost some volunteers and some of our volunteers

are getting older and struggle to keep up with the pace of serving 330 plus students.”

“I truly believe a good solution will be found that will solve all these issues and keep this ser-

vice present for years to come,” Taylor said. “Maybe that answer is found in a venue change or maybe something else.”

ASG approves three resolutions Allie Crome Managing Editor

Associated Student Government unanimously approved three resolutions during their senate meeting Oct. 4. The resolutions included one in support of the diversity and inclusion statement in syllabi and another supporting the Faculty Senate resolution to increase the number of military credit hours offered

by Emporia State.

SR 19006 “A Resolution in Support of the Diversity and Inclusion Statement,” was created in response to comments made by members of Faculty Senates

about removing the statement from syllabi, according to Caylie Ratzlaff, junior social sciences and English major.

Although Faculty Senate met before the Oct. 4 ASG meeting and decided that the statement would remain in syllabi, Ratzlaff believed that it was still important to pass the resolution.

“The reason why it’s still on the agenda tonight is because the diversity and inclusion committee believes that one, we still need to talk about the fact that the statement was being considered for repeal by select members of Faculty Senate,” Ratzlaff said. “Two, as Associated Student

The secret to sleeping in like a pro It’s not uncommon for people, and perhaps students even more, to find themselves getting up at the last minute. For students, this only creates chaos in trying to find an outfit, get their backpack together and shove all their homework (and the right book) in their backpack so they can get to class.

Nearly everyone has been there at some point.

It's easy to forget the consequence of the second, or third snooze on your alarm in the morning.

But here’s the secret: There's a way to catch those last few minutes and still be as prepared as if you woke up right away.

And its very simple.

All it is? Preparation.

Picking out an outfit when you are likely putting off sleep the night before anyways, is a fairly easy task.

Plus, it keeps you looking your best when you aren’t making the decision in the morning rush.

Another fault of the morning rush is how easy it is to forget textbooks. Sometimes, it’s your homework as-

signment or notebook. This is a pretty common mistake, and it's happened to almost all of us at some point.

However, this stress inducing experience can be avoided altogether if you find a moment before bed to grab the books and folders for each class.

This goes for printing too. It always seems like the printer only works when you aren’t in a hurry. You end up not having a properly printed copy of assignments, or any copy at all, to turn in.

Emporia State’s Sky Print is convenient, and if you’re on campus, it only takes a few moments to get printing done ahead of time. Then, if there are problems, you have time to solve them. This way you can turn in your assignment on time, and looking neat.

All these things that only take moments on their own, can add up to a really stressful morning if you aren’t careful. It can be helpful to try and do some of them the night before. Try it out, and see if you can get away with hitting that snooze button.

Government and the diversity and inclusion committee, we just want to make sure that...Faculty Senate is aware that we’re watching them in that process, that we do have a statement and voice about it.”

The second resolution passed unanimously was SR 19008 “A Resolution in Support of FSR 18001,” which states that ASG is in favor of a resolution passed

by Faculty Senate to increase the number of military credit hours.

Currently, ESU offers only 18 hours of military credit, which is the lowest of the regent schools, according to the resolution.

The Faculty Senate resolu-

tion allows ESU to expedite the revision process of the military service credit policy and “encourages the University to maximize awarded military credit by awarding up to 25 percent of a student’s total required hours (on average 30 hours),” according to the ASG resolution.

“This will be a great way to show that ASG is here to support our veteran students too, because they are nontraditional students, so making sure that they know that we’re here for them also,” said Michaela Todd, ASG vice president and senior communications and political science major.

The final resolution passed

unanimously, SR 19008 “A Resolution in Support of Sexual Assault Survivors,” is in response to “the recent political climate both on and off campus, sexual assault cases have become more prevalent in society” and will be sent to the president, Governor Jeff Colyer, and several other senators and representatives.

During the meeting, ASG also voted to approve three recognized student organizations.

Of those three, Criminal Justice Organization and Social Media Ambassadors are new RSOs. The next ASG meeting will be 5:15 p.m. Oct. 25 in the Senate Chambers.

Music to help with geriatric depression Violet Porter Copy editor

Breanna Gilger, senior nursing major and current Honors College student, did a Emporia State Undergraduate Research Project over the summer about using music therapy to help with depression in the elderly. She received approximately $2,000 of ESURP funding from the university for her study.

Gilger went to the Honors College after coming up with the idea of music helping geriatric depression.

She was sitting in class and they were discussing the geriatric depression scale when she came up with the idea.

The geriatric depression scale is 15 yes or no questions that help determine if the person has or could be prone to have depression.

Gilger said she thinks music can be used therapeutically to help people with geriatric depression.

To start, Gilger spoke with Gary Wyatt, who helped her submit an application to ESURP. It was approved towards the end of the spring semester, and they had a lot of paperwork to get through, such as consent forms and obtaining approval from a local nursing home. Once everything had been approved they started the therapy.

Gilger started with a control group and the experimental group. The experi-

mental group met twice a week for six weeks, and during that time she would play music that the patients liked, Gilger said.

Then, three times during each session she would administer the GDS test and record the results. She would do the same GDS test with the control group, who did not get to listen to the music.

The results are not complete yet, but Gilger believes the program went well.

“Breanna is one of the most brilliant and driven peers in the class of 2019 that I know,” said Garrett VanArsdale, Gilger’s friend and graduate music student. “Her project works to combine two of her greatest interests, music and helping the elderly. It is no surprise that somebody as creative as her would come

up with such a great project.”

Gilger said she would like to see the program continue and grow. She is currently trying to get the nursing home to play music in the common rooms and looking for donations of iPods and phones so they can put Spotify or Pandora accounts on them for the residents’ use, Gilger said.

Currently, Gilger has received five devices for this purpose, according to her Facebook post.

In the future, she plans to work as a surgical nurse and potentially attend KU for a musical therapist degree.

Gilger’s advice for anyone wanting to take on a big research project like this is to talk to your professors.

“The answer will always be no if you don’t ask,” Gilger said.

Ambassadors down numbers, prep for homecoming Sarah Spoon Editor-in-Chief

Emporia State Ambassadors are preparing for multiple events on campus to make sure Homecoming runs smoothly for all Hornets.

“Homecoming is our busiest time of year,” said Sawyer Barragan, ambassador and senior Spanish major. “We are doing a lot of promotion, whether that’s on our own social media or the

Ambassadors social media. We are partnering with the university to help promote (events)...

We’re just preparing and getting ready for the craziness of it.”

Gaby Amparan, junior English education and health and human performance major, has been an ambassador for three semesters.

“We like to think we run the show just because we’re partnered with the alumni association and the admissions office,

which both play an integral role in homecoming,” Amparan said. “We work a lot of the events, like the Black and Gold Gala. We host distinguished alumni and outstanding recent graduates.”

Ambassadors work nearly every Homecoming event, but their numbers are down this year. They’re currently taking applications for new members.

“Right now we’re a little bit short handed,” Amparan said.

“Applications are open to anyone of any major of any kind.

They’re due next Wednesday, Oct. 26.”

Ambassadors work with current, past and future Hornets, according to Amparan. They run campus tours and help with recruitment.

For current students, Ambassadors also help with student programing and promoting spirit in athletics. They run senior week for current students

and work alumni events.

The application must include a letter of recommendation from an ESU faculty, staff or Resident Assistant and are due at 5 p.m. Oct. 26. Those with questions about Ambassadors or the application process can reach out to Amparan at gampara1@g.emporia.edu.

“I’m excited (for Homecoming),” said Laura Waller, ambassador and sophomore nursing major. “It’s a lot of fun.”

ESU alumni, MLB baseball player to visit campus pippin continued from page 1 Margaret Mellott Copy Editor

This Saturday, Fred Kipp, Emporia State alumni and author, will be visiting ESU for a book signing for “The Last Yankee Dodger.” The signing will be from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. in front of the Memorial Union bookstore.

Fred Kipp attended ESU from 1950 to 1953 to play basketball and baseball.

After college, Fred Kipp started playing Major League Baseball for the Brooklyn Dodgers and Los Angeles Dodgers. He spent seven years with the team until he was traded to the New York Yankees in 1960, where he played two years.

“I could talk about baseball pretty easy. I know quite a bit about it,” Fred Kipp said. “I’ve (got), in professional baseball, about 10 years and all through college. That’s how I made my way through college is playing baseball.”

Scott Kipp, co-author and Fred Kipp’s son, said in an article that in Fred Kipp’s time at ESU, he really made an impact in the last game of the 1950 baseball season.

“He really made his name when he threw a no-hitter and

struck out fourteen batters in the last game of the season against the Washburn Ichabods,” Scott Kipp said.

After college, Fred Kipp was picked up by the Brooklyn Dodgers, who owned 17 minor league teams, and was shifted around the minor league until 1956 when he officially joined the Dodgers.

“My father walked smack dab in the middle of the best rivalry from the golden era of baseball,” Scott Kipp said. “He saw Jackie Robinson go up against Don Larsen in his perfect game. He saw Don Drysdale pitching against Mickey Mantle and Yogi Bera and Roy Campanella catching and hitting in their prime. Kipp was ineligible for the World Series, but pitched batting practice for the Dodgers with the likes of Sandy Koufax.”

For the last few years, Fred Kipp said has visited ESU during Homecoming week. This year is no different, according to Fred Kipp.

“I’ve probably been to more (Homecomings) than anybody,” Fred Kipp said. “Cause I’m old.”

According to Fred Kipp, he plans to mostly discuss his life and time at ESU. “Well, pretty much (I plan to

continued from page 1 about it this year than they have in the past,” Schneider said. “The signs around the CSI, we’ve been putting a lot of information in the Hornet announcements. (We’re) trying to make sure that everyone knows about it, rather than just those who are actually involved on campus because everyone can donate cans.

It’s not just those who are involved on campus. We’re trying to get staff, faculty and all of the student body involved.”

Katie Born, junior elementary education major, said one of the moments throughout this event that’s stuck out to her is when Relay for Life made a big donation.

“There was a caravan of cars that came in all full of food,” Born said. “We helped unload it, and we stocked our pantry. It was pretty bare before that, but then afterwards (it was) completely full. We didn’t even have enough room on the shelves and I just thought that was so awesome that a group of people could come together and bring that much food.”

Webb said he’s looking forward to hopefully pie-ing Washburn’s student government president in the face.

“My number one goal is redemption and bringing bragging rights back to our campus,” Webb said. “The ultimate goal of this competition, regardless of which school wins, is for both of our universities to provide food for our students and stocking both of our food pantries on campus.”

The final count will be next next Friday before the football game against Washburn.

Matthew Mahr, who is playing the lead role in “Pippin,” Pippin, expressed his confidence in the director.

“Jim has an amazing knowledge of almost every show you could ever bring up, but especially Pippin,” Mahr said.

“He has thought a lot about every aspect of the play. There is rarely a time when people bring up something in rehearsal that he has not thought of.”

Having been nvolved in ESU Theater for nearly four years, Mahr has experience in both technical and acting roles. Despite this, musicals propose a unique challenge, Mahr said.

“Musicals are a lot more intensive,” Mahr said. “You have to make sure your body is up for singing every night and, in my case, super high while dancing. There’s less time to focus on just the character.

Sometimes it can be kind of nice because you aren’t freaking out about every little detail about the character.”

Mahr encouraged fellow students to attend the production.

“This is something that every student is welcome to do,” said Matthew. “It’s something you can do as a fun hangout or a date night. It’s something that everyone should come and enjoy.”

Tickets are on sale for $12 for adults, $10 for seniors and $5 for students who buy them before 5 p.m. on performance night.

Kansas says all voting machines in state certified HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) — The director of elections in Kansas says every piece of voting equipment used in the state has been certified at the state and federal level.

His comments Friday come a day after The Hutchinson News reported Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s office failed to produce records showing it had certified voting equipment used by hundreds of thousands of Kansans.

The newspaper reported it received just two letters of certification in response to an open records request.

State Director of Elections Bryan Caskey says that is “just a paperwork situation.”

Caskey says he is now in the middle of auditing voting equipment in Kansas, something his office does every two years.

He says Kansas doesn’t allow any voting machine that hasn’t been certified to be used in the state.

Color guard preps for festival, Homecoming Sarah Carpenter Sports Writer

The Emporia State Marching Hornets color guard is starting their season strong, according to co-captains Sarah Braddy, junior art major, and Abigail Brown, junior music education major.

“Our season this year is spectacular,” Braddy said. “We had a lot of returning members and lots of new members join us.

Everyone has really stepped it up and worked their tails off to have our entire exhibition show learned and performed before midterms.”

To prepare for the upcoming Veteran’s Day and Christmas parades, they started practicing their routines before fall break, according to Braddy.

“Every single person gave learning, memorizing, and cleaning all 10 routines in our pregame and exhibition show 120 percent effort,” Braddy said.

“I’m very proud of my team for having a positive attitude about it the whole time.”

Braddy is not the only one to recognize the hard work of the team this year.

“By far I think it’s one of

the best, or the best,” said Jennifer Woodworth, colorguard director.

“My favorite part is the creativity behind it,” said Woodworth. “It allows a lot of creative freedom.”

Color guard allows the members and co-captains to showcase their creative routines and even creative costume choices, according to Woodworth.

“My favorite part of guard has to be the family that it creates,” Braddy said. “Every year we are not only a team but we all become friends, we go out and get dinner together, we hang out together.”

Woodworth is often asked what color guard really entails.

“It’s not just the team that spins a flag behind a band,” Woodworth said. “There’s a lot of fitness behind it. There’s a lot of endurance. There’s a lot of discipline behind it.”

According to the ESU website, the team will be performing at the Homecoming game against Missouri Western at 2 p.m. Saturday at Welch Stadium.

Hornets to host Hornets win last minute Missouri West for against Fort Hays homecoming game Skyla Fox Sports Editor

After two weeks of successful wins, the Hornets will face Missouri Western State for the Homecoming game Saturday.

The last time they faced Missouri Western was Nov. 4, 2017, when they won 30-27, according to ESU Athletics.

“Mo West is a good team and we have played them close the past few years,” said Braxton Marstall, senior quarterback.

“I’m looking forward to the game and the atmosphere that Homecoming brings. Hopefully, we can carry on our success from the past two weeks and keep playing at a high level.”

The Hornets enter the game with a 1-2 home record and a 3-1 away record. They have an overall 4-3 record.

“We will have to show up and

be ready to play,” said Landon Nault, senior running back. “We have to start fast and play the way we know we are capable of playing…The fact that it is Homecoming is awesome too because the Homecoming atmosphere is always fun.”

The Hornets are on a winning streak, winning their last two games against Central Missouri on Oct. 13, 28-24, and Fort Hays State on Oct. 6, with a 4123 win.

Missouri Western enters the Homecoming game with a 3-1 home record and a 1-2 away record. They lost their last game by one point with an ending score of 16-17 against Central Oklahoma, for an overall record of 4-3 this season.

Kickoff is 2 p.m. Saturday at Welch Stadium.

In the first home win of the season, Emporia State football scored 21 points in the fourth quarter to end the game against Fort Hays State on Oct. 6. The final score was 28-24.

“When we won, everybody was jumping around. It was crazy,” said Tyree King, red shirt freshman wide receiver.

“Everyone just rushed the field at the (end zone). The crowd came down and it was just an amazing feeling.”

At only 2:15 into the first quarter, Hays took 69 yards and gained the lead at 0-7. The score stayed there for the rest of the quarter.

Hays took the ball down to

the Hornets one-yard line until a fumble, according to ESU Athletics. This would be the closest either team would get to a touchdown for the rest of the half.

At the third quarter Tyler Harris, senior wide reciever, received a pass from from Braxton Marstall, senior quarterback, for 72 yards. This would be the first Hornet touchdown tying the score, 7-7.

Hays then made a 70-yard drive capped by a four-yard touchdown making the score 7-14. Nearing the end of the third quarter, Hays scored one more touchdown putting the score 7-17.

With 14:32 left in the game, Harris recieved a 54-yard pass

from Cowan Dalton, freshman quarterback. This put the Hornets in the lead at 17-14.

At 8:06 Jordan Reed, senior wide receiver, caught a 10-yard pass from Marstall for another touchdown, making the score 21-17. Soon after, Hays received a 3 yard run changing the score 21-24. The Hornets were behind with 5 minutes remaining.

“The team battled back... and we kept fighting, despite setback during the first half,” said Derek Hahn, freshman long snapper.

With only 51 seconds left, the Hornets made a last-minute effort to score and Marstall passed the game winning ball to Reed. Hornets won with an ending score of 28-24.
