Tweet about ‘disturbing’ comment gets response S usan W elte editor@esubulletin.com Have you ever wanted to tweet about something a professor said in class that disturbed you? Ethan Goodwin, senior social sciences major, did recently – and got an almost immediate response from the Emporia State president.

“Was told by an ESU professor today that bc I sleep with a gun by my bed I will commit suicide,” Goodwin tweeted at 11:12 a.m.

Oct. 24, tagging President Michael Shonrock.

At 1:44 p.m., Shonrock tweeted back at Goodwin, asking him to email him a phone number so they could “chat.”

What disturbed Goodwin, he said in an interview with The Bul-

letin Tuesday night, was a comment made by a tenured professor during a discussion in history class. The professor had gone off topic, Goodwin said, and was advocating the banning of all guns to save lives.

“I told him I had a gun by my bed, and it hadn’t killed me yet during the night,” Goodwin said. “(He then said), ‘But you will kill yourself with it,’ and he said it twice.”

Several students spoke up in defense of their Second Amendment rights, Goodwin said, and that seemed to irritate – and agitate – the professor.

“He just got out of hand, got emotional,” Goodwin said. “I think he was just trying to counter my argument.”

Tweeting about the experience was the best way to let someone in power know what was going on in class,

Goodwin said. He knew Shonrock regularly checked Twitter, so he tagged him in the tweet.

“I was just tired of being prodded by the professor so much because it had gone from him asking questions and making points to make us think more, to more of attacking anybody who didn’t think the way he did,” Goodwin said.

Goodwin declined to identify the professor, because he felt the situation had been dealt with. He also did not want to name any other students in class, for fear of violating their privacy.

He also said he had a good conversation with Shonrock via twitter, email and eventually text message, and that he gave the president the information he needed.

“I care about you all as students,”

‘Don’t Be Shy’ has open forum tomorrow M icaela C line cline@esubulletin.com When Jusik Min, junior international major from South Korea, first came to Emporia, a lot of his floormates asked him where he was from.

They also asked him odd questions like, “Do you know a lot of martial arts?”

To encourage communication between native and international students at Emporia State, the Office of International Education is hosting an open forum called, “Don’t Be Shy, Ask Me Why” from 3-4 p.m. tomorrow in Plumb Hall, room 408.

Min said he thinks the question forum is a good idea, especially because it will feature students from other countries, as well those from America.

“I personally have a lot of questions to ask Americans like, ‘Is it pop or soda, or soda pop?’” Min said.

“There are a lot of new things in America.”

Larissa Bell, freshman elementary education major, said she thinks the student forum will give people from different nationalities a chance to “find similarities that will create a bridge between our differences.”

International students can feel bombarded with questions about their homeland.

“When I first moved into the dorms and started my classes, I was asked so many questions it was crazy,” said Yasmeen Ibrahim, freshman undecided major from Egypt. “People see you are from another country and assume that your life was so much

Campus Master Plan Last issue, The Bulletin released a story about the Emporia State Master Plan.

The plan began developing after Kansas Board of Regents asked all universities to produce a modern “master plan.” After analyzing ESU facilities for areas with needed improvement, master plan proposals were made.

ESU’s options include distinct entrances to campus, improved classrooms and facilities and a possible new building for a pool (natatorium) or a new art annex facility. Below is a collection of images used in the ESU Master Plan presentation to illustrate possible changes in years to come.

Don’t be shy, ask me why!

Throughout the month of November, the Office of International Education has encouraged all students campus wide to write down any culture-related questions they have for other students and turn them into OIE anonymously. Tomorrow, the OIE will host a student panel in Plumb Hall, room 408 from 3-4 p.m., where all the questions collected will be answered. All students are invited to attend.

Below are some of the questions that will be answered at the panel.

IMPORTANT

THIS IS THE LAST ISSUE OF THE BULLETIN FOR THE SEMESTER! The Bulletin’s current printer, The World Company in Lawrence, is closing down their printing operation because it is no longer economically feasible for them to continue. We are in the process of finding a new printing press for the Spring 2014 semester.

COMING IN SPRING 2014...

- a complete makeover and redesign of The Bulletin - an upgraded and easy-to-navigate Esubulletin.com

Sincerely, Susan Welte Editor-in-Chief

Many know Veterans Day represented our community this past Monday by allowing students to have no school, but many may not know the story behind this fortune.

“At 5 a.m., Nov. 11, 1918, the World’s leaders signed a document that would end World War 1. It was not until six hours later that the guns fell silent on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month (of ) 1918,” said Aaron Goza, Medical Detachment and Joint Force Headquarters for Kansas. “One year later, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed World War I to be the war that ended all wars, and he also proclaimed Nov. 22 to be the fourth celebrated as Armistice Day.” This past Monday, during the All Veterans Memorial at Soden’s Grove,

a local park, many veterans joined to explain the importance of the day.

Families came to gather and support our current and past soldiers.

“I think it (Veterans Day) has a special meaning here because it was initiated from here in Emporia, Kan., creating the change of Armistice Day to Veterans Day,” said Col. John Andrew, currently Chief of Staff, 35th Infantry Division in Leavenworth.

Andrew was a guest speaker at the All Veterans Memorial Service.

According to Emporiakschamber.org, in 1953, Emporian Alvin J. King proposed that Armistice Day be changed to Veterans Day to recognize and honor all veterans from all wars and conflicts. The citizens of Emporia celebrated Veterans Day in 1953. Emporia congressmen Ed Rees then took King’s proposal to

Nine organizations seek recognition, five receive RSO status W ill A ustin news@esubulletin.com The sixth Associated Student Government meeting of the semester last Thursday gave student senators a larger agenda than usual, with nine campus organizations seeking recognition.

Five of these, Muslim Student Organization, Stingers Sports Club, Oxfam America Club, Arabic Student Culture Association and Chi Alpha Epsilon were officially recognized by the senate.

Senators had “first readings” of four other bills proposing recognition of Hornet Bowlers League, Pro-Life Ambassadors, ESU SoulPancake and Unwind: Knit and Crochet.

Each bill was passed favorably and these organizations will be able to become officially recognized by ASG at the next meeting.

The Kansas Art Education Association had also been on the agenda to become recognized at the meeting, but Julie Ma, ASG senator and junior biochemistry, molecular biology and Spanish major, announced that the organization had “unfortunately chosen to cancel their bill.”

Racheal Countryman, ASG president and senior communication major, opened her general remarks by encouraging the student senators to engage with the representatives of the five organizations to be recognized before making the vote.

“I want to make sure that you guys are asking questions,” Countryman said.

The president also said ESU is in tweets from

Shonrock said during a separate interview with The Bulletin Tuesday afternoon.

Shonrock said he made the “necessary calls” to the head of the department. “(Twitter) is another mechanism by which students communicate,” Shonrock said. “For anyone at the university my ‘hint hint’ would be (that) you may say something in jest, but someone may take it differently than what you intended it to be. It may result in being on the World forum from

more interesting than theirs, so they ask a lot of questions.”

Ibrahim said coming to Emporia was intimidating until he began to meet new people and was given the chance to ask questions. He said that the forum might be able to help other international students who are still adjusting to ESU. “I think that this forum is a good idea because the other international students who aren’t comfortable yet can still ask questions,” Ibrahim said.

The student forum is open to all students, and international and native students are encouraged to attend.

Marissa Germann, ASG vice president and senior marketing and media relations major, noted “a few noshows” at recent meetings, as well as at other tables and events on campus.

Josiah D’Albini, ASG senator and senior sociology major, gave a report from the Fiscal Affairs committee about a submitted 12-page bill of revisions to the Senate Line Item Policy, the finance policy that defines how ASG manages and distributes finances, including allocations to RSOs.

Josh Wallace, ASG senator and junior communication major, reporting for the Campus and Community Relations committee, said he is working with representatives of L-CAT, the Emporia bus service, to get more “transportation to places like Walmart.”

He said they are still in the budgeting phases of this project.

The final ASG meeting of the semester will take place at 5:15 p.m. next Thursday, Nov. 21 in the Senate Chamber.

Wide Web.” Shonrock said his first reaction was that even though he didn’t know what was said, a student had felt the need to communicate and his concern needed to be addressed.

“Sometimes, it’s just a miscommunication or misinformation,” Shonrock said. “It doesn’t matter what it is.

I don’t care if its a student faculty, staff or community member, if something’s been raised in their mind and they see it’s a concern, I’ll make sure to follow up. It’s the right thing to do.”

Tweets have been a matter of some concern at Kansas universities as of late. In September, David Guth – a

professor at the William Allen White School of Journalism at the University of Kansas – was placed on administrative leave after he made an inflammatory tweet against the National Rifle Association.

Goodwin said he’s satisfied with the reaction his tweet got. After getting Shonrock’s response, he tweeted that he was “always impressed with the leadership of this university.”

Since the comment, the professor has stayed on topic in class, Goodwin said, and no further comments have ensued.

“I respect him as a professor,” Goodwin said.

Frederickson Theatre lights up next week with ‘reasons to be pretty’ A lec M anley manley@esubulletin.com A play written by Neil LaBute, “reasons to be pretty” has been in the works at Emporia State since October. It will premiere at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 19 in Frederickson Theatre.

First performed in 2008 on Broadway, the play is about a couple that goes through a breakup over a poor choice of words and how it affects not only them, but their two friends, who also happen to be a couple. The actors play suburbanraised college students who claim to only care about inner beauty, but are faced with the ugly truth that they quite often only focus on physical attributes.

The play committee at ESU chose for this particular rendition

of the show to be directed by Mike Koetkemeyer, senior theater major.

The actors said they really appreciate the fact that they are able to work with a fellow student.

“Our director helps us identify with these characters because he is from our generation,” said Eliot Brest, junior theater major.

While musicals are the favored stage performance of some, Veniese Razo, freshman theater major, who plays Stephanie in the play, said she prefers acting in “straight shows” that don’t have any singing.

Dallas Shafer, freshman business major, plays Carly. She said the thing she likes most about the script is how realistic it is.

“It’s very conversational, which makes it seem like real life, not a script,” Shafer said.

At only four actors, the cast is very small, but each one seems to

prefer this setup.

“The small cast allows us to work on getting to know not only each other, but our characters as well,” Razo said.

Colter Lemmon, senior theater major, described his character Greg as “the standard guy who’s insensitive without meaning to be.”

Since the show is mainly about college students and was made to target the student demographic, several adult themes appear in the script.

The language may be considered vulgar, and because of this, Koetkemeyer strongly recommends that children should not be brought to the play.

The show will run Nov. 19-24 at 7:30 p.m. each night, except Saturday and Sunday, which will be matinees at 2 p.m. Tickets can be bought from the box office by calling 620-341-6378. Tickets are $5 for students, and $8 for non-students.

ing for the content in those majors.

Gerish, who is also a huge Harry Potter fan, said learning Latin is even relevant for that particular book series.

“When you start studying Latin, you have a greater appreciation for all the spells in the Harry Potter books because most of them are derived from Latin words and phrases,” Ger-

ish said.

She said she will go to extra lengths to point out all of these spells during the course of the Latin class if it should be started successfully.

Those interested in taking the Latin course can email Gerish at dgerish@emporia.edu or Brown at wbrown5@g.emporia.edu.

Festivities for Veterans Day started Nov. 1 and concluded Monday with a parade through downtown, an All Veterans Memorial Service at Soden’s Grove Park and finished with an American Legion lunch.

Passion Pit STAFF EDITORIAL

You’re at the mall and make the mistake of walking too close to the perfume salesperson.

Big mistake.

You end up getting sprayed in the hopes that the smell will be so alluring you will have to break down and buy a bit for yourself.

The problem is that you went to the mall for a specific reason and being accosted by a sales rep and smelling of Chanel No. 5 wasn’t on your list. You can’t breathe and people avoid getting too close because even a good smell goes wrong when you basically bathe in it. Now, you won’t buy it, even if you like the fragrance, just because of this one bad experience.

Emporia State’s Memorial Union Main Street has become host to a number of groups that have been taking a “mall sales rep” approach with their passion about their group’s messages. When the Gideons stake out the courtyard between Plumb Hall and the MU, there is no way

of avoiding their direct – some might even say aggressive – methods. Averting our eyes and looking the other way doesn’t help when one of these gentlemen steps directly in our path to insist we want one of their miniature Bibles.

The men of Gideon set themselves up in such a way that you have to pass by at least two members in any given direction and each one will ask you to take a Bible. If you take a Bible on your way in, they will still ask you to take one on your way out.

Students all over campus are racking up collections of tiny bibles just to get away from men who ignore obvious signals of uninterest. At the point where people take whatever you are offering just to get away, your message has become moot and your methods are overkill.

Last week, the Pro-Life Ambassadors had a table in the MU Main Street with what appeared to be a survey asking if abortion should continue to be legal.

Students that stopped to take the survey were soon dragged into a sticky situation, complete with pictures of unborn children, in which fellow students made insistent attempts to get waylaid individuals to agree not just in part, but to the entire belief of the pro-life stance. (Note: We are not arguing for or against abortion. Some of The Bulletin staff is pro-life, while others are pro-choice. Rather, we are questioning the method by which they tried to convey their message).

There is nothing wrong with being passionate about your cause or having the drive to get your message known and educate people. However, dominating a 20-minute or hourlong conversation in the hallway of a university building is probably not going to sway people into changing their beliefs. In fact, it may even deem you as hostile. When proponents of a cause are uncomfortable with the methods being used to further that cause, the group has gone too far.

Avoiding high traffic areas of

Nerd is the Word I don’t like how the word “nerd” is used today.

Nerd is used to describe someone who is intelligent to a degree, likes to play certain unpopular games, watch certain shows and has no social life because of these.

It’s a derogatory term that I believe should be used as a term of endearment. It should not be used to describe someone for playing an unpopular game like Dungeons and Dragons, instead of a new – and still awful – Call of Duty game. As a D&D player, I wouldn’t want to be called a nerd for playing a game I love, nor would I want to be called a nerd for watching one of my favorite shows, Cowboy Bebop, which happens to be anime – a Japanese cartoon.

Am I a nerd for playing these games and watching these shows?

Some would say yes. I love playing

D&D because it lets me tell a story with a group of friends and have a good time without the use of a TV or video game. I like Cowboy Bebop because it has a great story and is interesting to watch.

Are they nerdy because they’re unpopular? If so, that’s ridiculous.

No one should be judged based on something as small as playing a game, watching a show or collecting cards for card games.

Nerd should be a term that describes an object, not a person. It should be used as a genre of material that is aimed at a target audience.

There are hipster nerds who judge others for wanting to be nerds. These guys use it as an empowering term. A hipster nerd believes playing a certain game or watching a certain show before everyone else will make them a more popular nerd. They may call out a person mimicking their behavior

C onnor D elaney

delaney@esubulletin.com by saying that person is “not nerdy enough.” This is just another instance where the term “nerd” is used derogatorily.

The use of this negative word “nerd” should be halted. Yes, it may be used between friends to describe an activity, but not to describe a person.

Don’t think of the word nerd as a put down because it isn’t. Nerd is a genre and nothing more.

Pains of Poetry I write poetry.

Unfortunately, I’m still getting used to being open about this love of mine. It seems like society gets uncomfortable with this form of expression and creative outlet. It doesn’t feel like poetry is part of the “norm.”

Nick Andre, a high school student from Ohio, recently wrote a poem about something that made him angry. As a player on the high school’s football team that was enduring a 1-7 losing season, he decided to take out his frustrations with this assignment. His poem ambiguously hinted at favoritism between the head coach and his son who is on the team and not performing well. No names were mentioned.

The New York Daily News stated that Andre’s principal deemed the poetry as “hazing” and “harassment.”

He was suspended for four days and kicked off the football team. Andre explained that he was not trying to be a bully, just expressing himself. Andre served two days of suspension before the high school reversed his punishment and allowed him back on the team for the last two games of the season, according to CNN. I was shocked to see that a simple poem he had to create for a class could be seen as “harassment” and “hazing.” High school is a tough time for students. To think that he couldn’t use this creative form of expression to release frustration and other emotions in an educational environment saddens me.

Poetry is a channel and a voice, just like art and music. It is a great way to examine feelings, capture moments and convey oneself. We

It’s an amazing release that certainly helps me, and I hope that it can be accepted and used to help others as well. Let’s no longer lock up our emotions for good. Let them spill freely all over a blank page to make us feel good instead.

Daylight Saving Nothing DST was brought back again during World War II. This time, it stuck around. After a bit of fine-tuning over the years, DST finally took on the schedule we know today – stealing an hour on the second Sunday in March and giving it back on the first Sunday in November.

On the one hand, energy is saved on long summer evenings by requiring the use of fewer artificial light fixtures. On the other hand, these same long hours of sunlight have many people turning on their airconditioners earlier.

It’s not necessary to turn on the lights so early on winter afternoons, but more lights must be turned on sooner every cold, dark morning.

Recent research also shows that DST causes a noticable increase in traffic accidents. More walkers get hit in the evening hours the week following the “fall back” in November. Risk drops in the morning due to the dark and the cold, but doesn’t offset the

“Say you agree, or else!''

increase in risk at night. Not to mention the Monday after DST sees an increase in car accidents due to sleep deprivation.

Farmers – one rumored subject of the cause and benefit of the time change – are some of its most avid opponents. Regardless of when the sun rises, farmers are up at the scheduled time and their animals are unable to adjust to the change for several weeks, giving the farmers much grief.

Not to mention the most familiar protests – it’s inconvenient. It can take days – even weeks, for those with sleep disorders – to adjust to this change, leaving a decrease in their work productivity in their wake.

In the end, DST isn’t saving us anything. Whatever benefit the time change once gave us has long since run its course. Across the globe, numerous countries have dropped the practice of DST. Arizona has already followed the lead. It’s time the rest of us do, too.

‘Blue Room’ opens for artists of Emporia

E mma D e P riest depriest@esubulletin.com Musicians, poets and comedians were encouraged to show off their talents last night at Wheat State Pizza, 1120 Commercial St. “The Blue Room,” sponsored by the Multicultural Greek Council, was an open mic night for Emporia State and the Emporia community.

Cameron Gee, graduate health and recreation student, said the money raised throughout the evening goes directly to supporting organizations in the Multicultural Greek Council, including Zeta Phi Beta, Sigma Gamma Rho and Sigma Rhomeo.

“We’re just now getting established on campus, so we’re trying to establish that base,” Gee said. “That way, we’re able to grow and maybe do more things like this coming up.”

The night opened with a band called Misleading to All, which formed two weeks prior to the show.

The singer for the group, Zach Mandell, freshman nursing major, said events such as this are important for a band, as well as people interested in the survival of the arts.

“This is how bands get discovered,” Mandell said. “Everyone has to start at an open mic night for a pizza place.”

The band covered songs such as “Hero” by The Foo Fighters and

“Sail” by AWOLNATION. Other musicians, including a jazz duo, an indie duo, a solo guitarist/singer and a rapper played throughout the night. There were also two stand-up comedians and several creative writing readings.

Rakiyha Wash, sophomore sociology major, read a narrative she wrote for debate that was inspired by a poem titled “Writer’s Block” that Gee read earlier in the night. Wash’s piece was about a social “war” on her family.

“It’s writing about them, about how schools are training them to be good prisoners instead of good people, and I have a problem with that,” Wash said.

Wash said she believes it’s important for her words to be heard because if she doesn’t say them, then the important issues will just be glazed over.

Students weren’t the only performers, however. Kevin Rabas, associate professor of English and co-director of the creative writing program, read a few pieces of poetry from his arsenal. Rabas thought that his participation could inspire other artists to come out and perform, and that, as a teacher, it was a good example to set.

“If you’re willing to promote something, you should be willing to do it yourself,” Rabas said.

Sakura makes community priority A lec M anley manley@esubulletin.com Japanese Association Sakura Choir has been around since 2011 and was originally used as entertainment for the International Food Festival held annually at Emporia State.

However, when the disastrous tsunami in Japan struck that year, the decision was made to perform instead in order to receive money to donate to those children that were orphaned by the natural disaster.

Since 2011, the choir has raised approximately $1,900 for the Ashinaga Scholarship Foundation, a group that helps support those orphans.

Along with their generous donations to the tsunami victims, the group has also met with elementary schools to teach Japanese culture and folk songs. Their latest concert will also benefit Mike Sorsen, pastor of Emporia Presbyterian Church, who contracted Lyme disease while aiding one of his parishioners.

Most of the members of the Sakura Choir said they especially loved the community they had built within the group itself.

“I love the relationships,” said Kenji Anderson, an 8th grader at Emporia Middle School. “It’s a great way to learn the culture through music.”

While the choir was originally composed of only Japanese members,

this is no longer the case. Aki Notomi, senior athletic training major, helped steer the choir in the direction of donation collections in 2011. “(The group is now) a multicultural organization brought together to sing,” Notomi said.

Currently, several Korean and American students are among the choir’s 18 members. With two members that are now ESU alum and one still in middle school, they are just as diverse in terms of age.

The choir meets once a week and practices for two hours. The first concert they ever held was at Emporia Presbyterian Church, where the director Masatoshi Takami, senior music major, attends on Sundays.

Takami has been directing the choir since its creation. It was his first one to direct, and he said he cherishes the opportunity to lead so many wonderful people. “(It is a) good experience to build teaching skills for choral music,” Takami said.

The choir will perform at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow at the Emporia Presbyterian Church, 802 Commercial St. At the concert, the choir will be singing songs in French, Korean and Japanese. A few songs will have a mixture of the languages. Admission is free for students and $5 for other attendees. All proceeds will be divided between orphaned tsunami victims and Pastor Sorsen.

amounts of food are consumed during the day, metabolism doesn’t change. The distribution of that food should be left up to personal preference. If you feel cognitively declined by skipping breakfast, then eat breakfast. If you’re hungry in the morning, then eat breakfast. Just don’t do so thinking it will magically jumpstart your metabolism.

Metabolism Myths Few topics in health are more misunderstood than the concept of metabolism. Metabolism is incredibly complex, but it can most easily be defined as the amount of energy a given organism needs to sustain life. Outside of what we eat, genetics (body size) and activity level play a

major role.

Myth #1 – Eating breakfast increases metabolism.

For decades, we’ve been beaten with the idea that breakfast is the most important meal of the deal.

Research has shown that if equal

Myth #2 – Eating more frequently increases metabolism.

This myth began with the misunderstanding of the thermic effect of food (TEF). Each time you eat, there is a certain amount of energy required to break down that food. In theory, this makes sense. Eating more frequently leads to expending more energy, but just like breakfast, if the same amount of food is eaten over the course of the day the TEF will be equal. If you choose to eat the same food totaling 2,000 calories, dispersing it throughout three meals or six

meals won’t change the TEF. Myth #3 – Eating at night stores fat.

Whether it’s 10, 7 or 5 p.m., it seems many believe there is a biological clock when our bodies like to store fat. We think of our bodies running on a 24-hour clock because our schedules work out that way, but our metabolism doesn’t take a break at night. An excess of calories lead to fat stores, whether that happens in the morning, afternoon or night is irrelevant.

So, what actually does increase metabolism?

Eating more protein.

Protein is the most thermogenic macronutrient, which means it requires the greatest amount of energy to be broken down. Roughly 20-35 percent of protein calories are expended during breakdown, compared

to 5-15 percent of carbohydrate and fats. This doesn’t mean you can eat endless amounts of protein without consequences. A better strategy is to eat the same number of calories, but replace fat and carb calories with protein.

Lifting First, high intensity exercise increases excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC), which means you continue to expend energy after the workout, not just during. Also, lifting can result in muscle gain. Muscle tissue is more metabolically active than fat tissue, which means it expends more calories at rest.

Although protein and lifting can increase metabolism, understand it will be a few hundred calories at best. Unfortunately, it’s not magic.

For the most part, large manipulations in metabolism are a pipe dream.

screen and multitude of cameras. At some point, there was also music and people chanting, “E-S-U!” This exeperience was a first for Emporia State – the shooting of a professional music video. Ten2One, a duo of ESU students Gabe Andrews, senior business major, and Benny Bowden, senior digital audio recording major, filmed a music video for their ESU hype song, “Right Now” at different campus locations, such as the Corky statue in front of Plumb Hall, a classroom, Welch Stadium and the tunnel under I-35.

The musical duo contacted cinematographer Matthew Jeppsen from Arkansas and asked him to direct their video. Jeppsen said they started planning two weeks before the day of the shoot..

“We talked a little bit about what it would take, and kind of nailed down what budget range they had,” Jeppsen said. “Then, we got ESU involved.”

DenaSue Potestio, president of

the ESU Foundation, helped to bring things together for the video.

“What we’re trying to do is promote our Hornet Nation,” Potestio said.

The money for the video came from the ESU Foundation, and an estimated 200 students showed up to participate in the filming.

Jeppsen, who has worked with big-name stars like Taylor Swift and Rascal Flatts, said he accepted to come spend a day filming at ESU because it sounded like fun.

“I enjoy making films, and honestly, this is a slow month for me,” he said. “I was looking for something creative and fun to do. So, why not?”

Bowden said that Jeppsen seemed impressed by the support of the students and faculty who showed up to be extras.

“We are kind of inexperienced and from a smaller town, smaller school and all, but at the same time, they were telling us the amount of footwork we did beforehand made it

really easy on them,” Bowden said.

Most of the students who came as extras read about the video shoot in BuzzIn announcements. Others were passing by and got recruited on the spot. Some faculty members from Plumb Hall also decided to join in on the fun.

Andrews and Bowden said they wrote “Right Now” to give ESU its own college fight song while incorporating slogans of the past and present, such as “Stingers Up!” They said they hope the video gives an accurate representation of ESU and different aspects of the campus.

“Our future is so bright, there’s so much potential here…(We’re) a small town (with) big dreams,” Potestio said.

The tentative release date for the “Right Now” music video is Feb. 14, 2014. Bowden said the plan is to have a release party, complete with a concert to “celebrate and debut the release.”

Next generation of biofuels is still years away NEW YORK (AP) — The first trickle of fuels made from agricultural waste is finally winding its way into the nation’s energy supply, after years of broken promises and hype promoting a next-generation fuel source cleaner than oil.

But as refineries churn out this so-called cellulosic fuel, it has become clear, even to the industry’s allies, that the benefits remain, as ever, years away.

The failure so far of cellulosic fuel is central to the debate over

November 19-23 7:30 pm, 23 & 24 2:00 pm Ronald Q. Frederickson Theatre Box Office 341-6378

corn-based ethanol, a centerpiece of America’s green-energy strategy.

Ethanol from corn has proven far more damaging to the environment than the government predicted, and cellulosic fuel hasn’t emerged as a replacement.

“A lot of people were willing to go with corn ethanol because it’s a bridge product,” said Silvia Secchi, an agricultural economist at Southern Illinois University.

But until significant cellulosic fuel materializes, she said, “It’s a bridge to nowhere.”

Cellulosics were the linchpin of part of a landmark 2007 energy law that required oil companies to blend billions of gallons of biofuel into America’s gasoline supply. The quota was to be met first by corn ethanol

and then, in later years, by more fuels made with non-food sources.

It hasn’t worked out.

“Cellulosic has been five years away for 20 years now,” said Nathanael Greene, a biofuels expert at the Natural Resources Defense Council. “Now the first projects are up and running, but actually it’s still five years away.”

Cellulosic makers are expected to turn out at most 6 million gallons of fuel this year, the government says. That’s enough fuel to meet U.S. demand for 11 minutes. It’s less than 1 percent of what Congress initially required to be on the market this year.

Corn ethanol is essentially as simple to make as moonshine but requires fossil fuels to plant, grow and

distill. For that reason, it has limited environmental benefits and some drastic side effects.

Cellulosic biofuels, meanwhile, are made from grass, municipal waste or the woody, non-edible parts of plants — all of which take less land and energy to produce. Cellulosics offer a huge reduction in greenhouse gases compared with petroleumbased fuels and they don’t use food sources.

In Vero Beach, Fla., for example, agricultural waste and trash are being turned into ethanol. In Columbus, Miss., yellow pine wood chips are being turned into gasoline and diesel.

In Emmetsburg, Iowa, and Hugoton, Kan., construction is nearly complete on large refineries that will turn corncobs, leaves and stalks into ethanol.

Hornets suffer first loss of season, 48-21 get ready for Washburn,” said Ray Ray Davis, senior wide receiver and business major. “Hopefully, the polls vote us in but we just got to go out and win next week.”

After the 7-6 start, Northwest Missouri scored twice to make it 20-7 going into halftime.

Coming out of the half, ESU received the second half kickoff, only to have an interception at their own 18-yard line and let the Bearcats score three plays later. Making it 27-7 and looking all but over for the deflated Hornets, mid-way through the third Jordan Sanders, senior defensive back got a fumble recovery for ESU that led to a score a few plays later. Things were looking up, only to have a

Bearcat touchdown on the next drive and the momentum went right back on the visiting sideline.

“Our defense played great for who they went up against, and certainly we thought momentum was headed our way after the touchdown, but you got to give respect to them,” Wilson, sophomore business major said.

“They are a great football team” If there is a silver lining in the loss, it is that the Turnpike Tussle means more now than it has in several years.

Not only do the Hornets still have a shot to make the playoffs, but they get to beat Washburn to do it. The Hornets are set to play Washburn at 1:00 p.m. Saturday at Welch Stadium.

Jay Temaat, freshman guard, followed Moore’s lead, scoring 12 points in the second half.

Both players finished the game with 18 points each. The Hornets saw good numbers off the bench, having 49 points coming from their reserve, helping ESU settle in at a 42-point win over McPherson.

Paul Bunch, senior center, also put up impressive numbers for the night, scoring 13 points and being one of four Hornets with five rebounds. Swank also racked up 7 assists for the night.

The Hornets are set to take Slaymaker Court again tonight to play Sterling – their fifth game in seven days. Tip-off is at 7:00 p.m.
