Students come together to combat derogatory language DARCIE BRADFORD Editor-in-Chief | @darcie_jeanne_7
After racial slurs circulated on social media Aug. 24, students and the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion have come together to lift each other up and combat prejudice. The racial slurs were circulated via a freshman seminar GroupMe and included phrases like: “God I hate n******.� and “F****** n******* amiright?� The language shocked faculty and concerned new students who had not even been on campus for a full 48 hours. Senior Sasha Quarles said her initial concern was the incoming freshman, as this happened on the first day after freshmen moved in. “My initial reaction was just shock that someone is comfortable
saying things about people that they don’t even know and just worried about our freshmen and how it made them feel,� Quarles said. Immediately following the news breaking of the report of the racial slur, University Police began an investigation. At this point, the investigation is ongoing but it has been confirmed the user had been hacked. Director of Diversity and Inclusion Justin Mallett said the DEI office immediately began mobilizing to come up with a way that students could express their thoughts and feel comfortable. A meeting in the DEI office was organized within minutes of the investigation’s announcement. Diversity Coordinator Adam Gonzales said the language that was used was unsettling to everyone who attended the meeting. “Students were genuinely con-
cerned with the comments that were made, as you can imagine,� Gonzales said. “So through the forum, a lot of the first year students were concerned as far as safety and well- being on campus. Whether they were going to be welcome or whether they were going to be perceived in a certain light just for being themselves.� Gonzales said the forum was meant to reassure students that they have a place at Northwest. “The reason for the forum was to create a safe space to remind students that this is a safe space for them. But also to affirm for them the fact that they are welcome here, they do belong here, they don’t need permission to exist on campus,� Gonzales said.

Powerful discussions exemplify Student Climate Forum CAMERON MONTEMAYOR Chief Reporter | @NPNowMontemayor
The Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion held a forum Aug. 28 in the J.W. Jones Student Union Ballroom, one that left a powerful impact on those in attendance. The Student Climate Forum allowed students, faculty and administrators to share their thoughts, experiences and discuss ways to make Northwest a more inclusive campus, after it was revealed that a GroupMe chat included racist, homophobic and derogatory comments. A diverse panel of student leaders from student senate, student affairs, support services, Board of Regents and the athletic department were present to discuss issues and answer questions from audience members. Northwest President John Jasinski and DEI Vice President Juanita Simmons opened the forum with speeches. “We care about each and every one of you, we care about each other, we care about your safety and we care about your sense of belonging,� Jasinski said. “We know that a bigoted message was put on a text
chat, we can use this opportunity to talk about issues‌ and how we’re feeling because it brings up deep seeded thoughts.â€? Simmons called the forum a celebration, because it epitomized the student’s resiliency and understanding of Northwest’s values and mission despite the incident that transpired. Forum panelists were asked about their responses to the chat incident. “It shook us, because us that have been here on campus for so long, we know what it means to truly be a Bearcat,â€? Student Senate President Alyssa Lincoln said. “This is not indicative of Bearcat culture.â€? Panelists Estella Wesseh, a student mentor, delivered a powerful message of advice to those who ever hear or see language like this in a public or private setting. “This is the time we have to speak up for each other because there are people who are afraid to actually say ‘that’s not OK,’ because they’re worried about other people’s opinions,â€? Wesseh said. “This is why we’re in college, to define who you are, and if you’re
here just listening to other people’s opinions and not thinking for yourself, then you should step back and think ‘why am I here?’� She promised if more people could learn to speak up, it would inspire courage in others to do the same. Lincoln advised any student to find a profound student leader to look up to and embody. Many of the panelists spoke about difficult personal experiences involving racism, homophobia and bigotry. Wesseh revealed she was once called the n-word by a disgruntled customer while working the drivethru at a previous job. An ignorant response to the incident by her manager made the situation even more unsettling, she said. “That was my first encounter being in America and having that happen to me,� Wesseh said. “His response showed that there’s a lack of education and communication going on.� Panelist Daph Bergren, a member of the LGBTQ community, dis-

they need to share the ball on certain nights. “What the kids need to realize that it might not be my night, and that can be frustrating for a young kid,� Stoecklein said. “We just got to be happy for each other, regardless of the situation.� Stoecklein did express how much the offense needs to meet the same level of play as the defense with the regular season coming to a close.

in the regular season, thanks to the defense of the Gorillas. Pittsburg State haunted the Bearcat offense leaving no margin for error and with that type of pressure came mistakes; plenty of them. Northwest ended up giving the ball up six times to this stout Pitt State defense that ranks in the top 35 in turnover margin.

In the past, Northwest head coaches have thrived on being the primary offensive masterminds. When Mel Tjeerdsma coached (1994-2010) the team, Scott Bostwick commanded the defense. When Adam Dorrel (20112016) was introduced as the next head football coach, he primarily worked with the offense as well, leaving the defensive duties to coach Wright.

Lawmakers considering electronic ballot ban ABBEY HUGO Chief Reporter | @TheMissourian
The Missouri Senate is considering a bill that will forbid the use of electronic voting machines and require the exclusive use of traditional paper ballots. The bill has already passed the House with a 108-31 vote. State Rep. Paul Curtman presented the bill to Missouri Senate last week. As stated in House Bill No. 2208, no electronic voting systems will be approved unless meeting specific guidelines and “The official ballot shall be a paper ballot that is hand-marked by the voter or, in the case of disabled voters who need assistance, by a paperballot marking device designed to assist the disabled.� Assistant political science professor Daniel Smith shared his view on the bill. “I’m not a fan of closing off options, and electronic voting technology is likely to improve over time,� Smith said. “Paper is the most stable and secure, as the physical records are easier to verify and less subject to outside ma-
nipulation. Paper ballots are also easier to deal with in the event a voter makes a mistake and wishes to correct their ballot. On the other hand, paper ballots take longer to count, are more likely to raise conflicts regarding a voter’s intent...� If the bill is enacted, all employed electronic voting machines will be phased out after they reach the end of their effective life. Beginning Jan. 1, 2019, Missouri will not replace any direct-record electronic touchscreen vote counting machines that experience malfunctions or add any additional machines. Missouri will still permit the use of electronic counting systems and paper ballot marking devices to assist disabled voters. The eradication of electronic voting machines would be done in hopes of protecting the safety of votes and defending against potential hackers.

The Missouri Senate is considering a bill that will forbid the use of electronic voting machines and require the exclusive use of traditional paper ballots.

As stated in House Bill No. 2208, no electronic voting systems will be approved unless meeting specific guidelines and “The official ballot shall be a paper ballot that is hand-marked by the voter or, in the case of disabled voters who need assistance, by a paper-ballot marking device designed to assist the disabled.� Assistant political science professor Daniel Smith shared his view on the bill. “I’m not a fan of closing off options, and electronic voting technology is likely to improve over time,� Smith said. “Paper is the most stable and secure, as the physical records are easier to verify and less subject to outside manipulation. Paper ballots are also easier to deal with in the event a voter makes a mistake and wishes to correct their ballot.� Smith also shared concerned about paper ballots. “On the other hand, paper ballots take longer to count, are more likely to raise conflicts regarding a voter’s intent, and in the long run are more expensive to maintain, although that is apparently not the case at present in our state.� Freshman and previous Senate Republican Caucus staff intern Mary Tess Urbanek advocates for paper ballots, due in part to her experience working during the 2016 presidential election votecalculation process. “I personally think paper voting is the best choice. It takes away the room for error in regards to something going wrong with technology,� Urbanek said. “Even in your classrooms, think about how many times technology has gone wrong, and then it screws up the rest of the lecture. I think that you don’t want something as important as letting your voice be heard become obstructed by technological error.� If the bill is enacted, all employed electronic voting machines will be phased out after they reach the end of their effective life. Beginning Jan. 1, 2019, Missouri will not replace any direct-record electron touchscreen vote counting machines that experience malfunctions or add any additional machines. The eradication of these machines would be done in hopes of protecting the safety of votes and defending against potential hackers. After a scare involving Russian hackers during the 2016 presidential elections, where 39 states’ systems were targeted but fortunately evaded the alteration of votes, multiple states throughout the nation made moves to end the use of electronic voting machines. In addition to providing
increased security through lowering the risk of hacking, paper ballots are a more cost-efficient option. “Those two (preventing hacking and limiting costs) are both pretty significant advantages. I think today we are living in a society where it’s really easy for someone to take away something from you via the internet,â€? Urbanek recognized. “When our government is built on this idea that we get to pick whose in power, and we get to choose who we want to speak for us, we have to continue to protect that. I think by doing paper ballots we continue to make that our priority because there is a lot of room for error with electric stuff.â€? Each machine costs approximately $5,000. St. Louis County alone has 1,500 electronic voting machines, amounting to a $75 million. Missouri Senator Bill Eigel, the original sponsor of the bill, expressed the magnitude of potential savings in an interview with MissouriNet. “The machines cost $5,000 apiece, roughly,â€? Eigel said. “When the time comes that they need to replace the machines, sometime in the future, they won’t need as many machines. Now 1,000 machines at $5,000 apiece, that’s $5 million. That’ll buy 25 years of paper ballots.â€? Twenty percent of votes in the United States are cast with no paper trail. At this time, every county in Missouri uses paper ballots to some extent. Approximately 24 counties across the state utilize electronic voting machines that do not require a paper ballot. Sophomore political science major Truman Wiles expressed the importance of consistency, saying they need to pick “one or the otherâ€? when it comes to paper ballots or electronic ballots. “I happened to be in a county where they did it electronically, but I would think in a few counties over, they may not have that technology, so it’s done differently, which I don’t like,â€? Wiles said. “It’s not the same election then.â€? Nodaway County, along with much of rural Missouri, relies solely on paper ballots, so this bill will have no effect. Missouri will still permit the use of electronic counting systems and paper ballot marking devices to assist disabled voters. Wiles expressed a “mixedâ€? opinion regarding the use of paper ballots compared to electronic voting mechanisms. “Neither one is fool-proof, I’m really in the position that I would almost look for a third option‌ With the electronic, you don’t have to ask whether it was yes or no. There’s no gray area; there’s definitely a definitive yes and no,â€? Wiles said. “However, accidents happen and things get hacked. There are some really good hackers that can hack into something like that. If you do it on paper, you can’t hack that.
use of electronic voting machines. Freshman and previous Senate Republican Caucus staff intern Mary Tess Urbanek advocated for paper ballots, due in part to her experience working during the 2016 presidential election vote-calculation process. “I personally think paper voting is the best choice. It takes away the room for error in regards to something going wrong with technology,� Urbanek said. “Even in your classrooms, think about how many times technology has gone wrong, and then it screws up the rest of the lecture. I think that you don’t want something as important as letting your voice be heard become obstructed by technological error.� Urbanek stressed the importance of avoiding potential security risks associated with electronic ballots. “I think today, we are living in a society where it’s really easy for someone to take away something from you via the internet,� Urbanek recognized. “When our government is built on this idea that we get to pick whose in power, and we get to choose who we

want to speak for us, we have to continue to protect that. I think by doing paper ballots we continue to make that our priority because there is a lot of room for error with electric stuff.� In addition to providing increased security through lowering the risk of hacking, paper ballots are a more cost-efficient option. Each machine costs approximately $5,000. St. Louis County alone has 1,500 electronic voting machines, amounting to $7.5 million. Missouri Senator Bill Eigel, the original sponsor of the bill, expressed the magnitude of potential savings in an interview with MissouriNet. “The machines cost $5,000 apiece, roughly,� Eigel said. “When the time comes that they need to replace the machines, sometime in the future, they won’t need as many machines. Now 1,000 machines at $5,000 apiece, that’s $5 million. That’ll buy 25 years of paper ballots.� Twenty percent of votes in the United States are cast with no paper trail. At this time, all Missouri

Beyond that, he said the issue has been interesting be-
counties use paper ballots to some extent. Approximately 24 counties across the state utilize electronic voting machines. Sophomore political science major Truman Wiles expressed the importance of consistency, saying they need to pick “one or the other� when it comes to paper ballots or electronic ballots. “I happened to be in a county where they did it electronically, but I would think in a few counties over, they may not have that technology, so it’s done differently, which I don’t like,� Wiles said. “It’s not the same election then.� Nodaway County, along with much of rural Missouri, relies solely on paper ballots, so this bill will have no effect. Smith emphasized the importance of considering simplicity when choosing a voting method. “America has been plagued with crappy voter turnout for generations, and anything that simplifies the process and builds voter confidence needs to be considered,� Smith said.

The Bearcat cross country team opened its season with a near mirror image result of last season’s opener. The men’s team dominated the competition at the Bearcat Open Sept. 1, finishing first overall by 15 team points. Seniors Brayden Clews-Proctor and Brandon Phipps finished in first and second, while juniors Zac Miller and Jake Stansbury finished in the top 10. The women’s team took a third place in the meet and added two top 10 finishes. Senior Jacquet Margaux crossed the line in sixth and sophomore Sierra Coen ended in 10th. The Bearcats finished just five team points behind MidAmerica Nazarene University for second place and 39 behind Missouri Western State University for first. The Bearcats top women’s runner from last year, senior Sammy Laurenzo, did not run at the meet due to a minor injury. “She’s in really great shape, she just kind of had a little injury that coach Lorek didn’t want to

to that meet, it’s going to be a big meet and we’ll get to see a lot of competition from up north that we don’t see during the regular season,� Peterson said. Even for the experienced runners on the team the meet is a new challenge. Evansville will be the location for the NCAA Division II championship meet, and the ability to focus on the meet and not the atmosphere will be tough to account for. “If you look at it as just another meet, mentally, I think it will be a lot better instead of going to that meet and treating it like you’re at nationals,� graduate assistant Derrick Schluster said. “Take this moment now and really soak it in so the next time you get the chance to run there again you’ll have it familiarized.� With expectations of a return visit to the Division II Championship meet the Bearcats’ strong start to the season gives a promising sign as the season unfolds.

Performance from savvy underclassman lifted the Bearcats to a season opening 2-1 win over Sioux Falls Sunday. Northwest (1-0-0) overcame an early 1-0 deficit to the Cougars with late scores from freshman Taylor Wolfe and sophomore Mollie Holtman. Coach Tracy Hoza said seeing the younger players takeover was good but there are more pieces that led to them being successful. “To see our underclassman
score was fantastic,� Hoza said. “They are confident, they are calm, they are technically very good and pretty fast too.� In Wolfe’s first collegiate match she recorded four shots with three on goal and found the back of the net once. “We are very impressed with how they played on Sunday,� Hoza said. You have to look back to what the defense does and what the midfield does.� Holtman fired two shots on goal and delivered a score in the 76th minute which proved to be the game winner. Hoza said that seeing Holtman score was an ex-
citement to the whole team. “Everyone was excited, there were smiles on their face,� Hoza said. “Mollie has worked hard. Last year she struggled a lot with her injuries and we redshirted her. We were able to manage what she goes through and then have her shine on the field. We have a lot more to see from Mollie.� Now up by a goal, the Northwest defense was put to the test. With time running low Hoza said her defense was able to come through in the clutch. “The last 10 minutes of a game when you are up 2-1 it’s a defense that gets a little bit more pressure,�
Hoza said. “They can feel the pressure. These guys (the defense) did a great job in closing them down, reading where they were going to put the pass, timing the pass, being brave and aggressive. Soccer has become a very aggressive sport, we recognize that.� Senior defenseman Annie Poelzl felt that the defense was able to be more involved in attacks and ultimately led to scores. “Our defense is pretty much the same players as last year,� Poelzl said. “I’d say we are more involved in the attack so far. Last year we were a little bit more timid going forward than we are this year. I think that pushes every-

In the past, Northwest head 10.25in x 19.5376in coaches have thrived on being the primary offensive masterminds. When Mel Tjeerdsma coached (1994-2010) the team, Scott Bostwick commanded the defense. When Adam Dorrel (20112016) was introduced as the next head football coach, he primarily worked with the offense as well, leaving the defensive duties to coach Wright. Since then, the tables have turned. Wright (2017-present) is now at the helm assuming all defensive duties, while 2016 Division

in the regular season, thanks to the defense of the Gorillas. Pittsburg State haunted the Bearcat offense leaving no margin for error and with that type of pressure came mistakes; plenty of them. Northwest ended up giving the ball up six times to this stout Pitt State defense that ranks in the top 35 in turnover margin. The Bearcats gave the ball away four times through the air and two times on the ground. The majority of these giveaways were crucial as three times Northwest was within its own side RI WKH Âż HOG DQG WZR PRUH WLPHV within the Pittsburg State redzone. SEE FULL STORY ONLINE AT
