SOUTHEAST MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY STUDENT PUBLICATION MARCH 13 - 26, 2013 Student run since 1911
Provost accepts position at NCTA RACHEL WEATHERFORD MANAGING EDITOR
Dr. Ronald Rosati, who has been the Southeast Missouri State University provost since February of 2010, has accepted a job as the dean of the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture in Curtis, Neb. “I was quite excited,” Rosati said. “It’s a tremendous opportunity. [NCTA] is a wonderful institution. It focuses entirely on agriculture, which is a discipline that I have quite a passion for. I’ve worked in agriculture most of my career, so I’m very excited to be getting back to that. It’s a very practical kind of curriculum, and I very much enjoy that. [Nebraska] is a very nice area of the country. The college is located in western Nebraska, very rural, about two hours from the Colorado border, a very pretty area, wonderful people, a great state support. The college is tied closely with the University of Nebraska, it’s in the University of Nebraska system, and there’s tremendous support from the system.” Rosati earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees in agriculture from Cornell University and his doctorate in agricultural education from Iowa State University. “This is a two-year technical agriculture college, and I’ve worked in this area before,” Rosati said. “I was a student back in the late 70s, actually, in a college like this. I’ve taught in a college like this before. I’ve been an administrator in a college like this, and I really like working with these kinds of programs, and so when this opportunity came along, it was too good to pass by.”
Rosati has been the provost at other universities, including Illinois State University, Ohio State University and Iowa State University. “I love what’s going on at Southeast,” Rosati said. “Southeast is an outstanding institution, also a wonderful place to work, and a place that’s really going places, tremendous growth, great faculty, great administration, wonderful students, a very nice place to live. I was really torn about making this kind of a move, but once we made the decision to go, I was pleased to have the opportunity.” Rosati will join NCTA in July upon the NCTA Board of Regents approving his selection. Rosati was selected out of four finalists to replace the university’s retiring dean. He also had been a finalist for the position of president of Southwest Minnesota State University in January. NCTA is a two-year college where students earn an Associate of Applied Science degree in agriculture or an Associate of Science degree. Students also have the option to transfer credits to other universities. University president Dr. Kenneth W. Dobbins released a statement via a university press release March 6. “We have appreciated the skills and strengths Ron has brought to the position of provost at Southeast,” Dobbins said. “We especially want to thank him for his leadership in the recent Higher Learning Commission reaffirmation of accreditation for our university. His background in agriculture and his experience in leading collaborations and partnerships
will be a great benefit to the University of Nebraska system.” The provost is the chief academic officer for Southeast and is in charge of all planning and overseeing of academics, such as fall, spring and online courses. The provost also is in charge of all of the colleges at Southeast. The provost approves requests for hiring faculty members at Southeast and interviews candidates who are applying to be professors or administrators. Rosati oversaw the HLC accreditation process and helped the faculty senate rewrite the faculty handbook during his time at Southeast. He also supervised the development of the online portion of Southeast’s academics, which has expanded. While he was in charge, courses for the winter intercession began, which he said is now 100 percent online. He said the summer intercession is now about 80 percent online. “There’s online creeping into the regular-semester courses also,” Rosati said. He said the university doesn’t want the fall and spring semester classes to completely go online. “It’s not easy leaving Southeast,” Rosati said. “It’s a great place to be. It’s an institution that’s really on the move. There are great things going on with infrastructure, the academic programs are very strong, there is wonderful faculty and administration. The funding situation has been a bit of a challenge, but we’ve been very creative in addressing it, and we’ve addressed it very well, and now things are looking a little bit better on the economic front. I think in the past five years or so Southeast has moved up a level in terms of its ranking and
Dr. Ronald Rosati Southeast Missourian photo stature as an institution, and it’s a top-ranked institution now, doing just an outstanding job. The future here is very bright. It’s a great place to have spent some time. I’m very sad about leaving it.” Southeast’s faculty handbook says that people interested in the provost position should have earned a doctorate, have experience teaching at the college level and have experience in an administrative setting. A search committee is made up of one faculty member selected from each of Southeast’s colleges and schools, a student member selected by Student Government Association and two members of the committee selected by the university president. The committee selects the chairperson from the group. After the committee is formed and applications are reviewed, the committee selects candidates and invites each of them to campus for two days to be interviewed and to view the university. The committee then selects three finalists after all the campus interviews are done and recommends them to the university president. The president selects the person and a request is sent to the Southeast Board of Regents to approve the nomination.
BRIEFS Counseling Services Step Up! program begins Members of the Office of Student Conduct and Counseling and Disability Services at Southeast Missouri State University have initiated a new program that encourages more students to report crime, mental health problems and other incidents on campus. Victory Program coordinator Millicent Odhiambo said that promotion of the Step Up! Program started this semester. “The Step Up! Program is based on intervention,” Odhiambo said. “We are using this as a way to encourage students to be on the lookout, be careful when they are walking around campus and be observant in case they see something that needs to reported.” Odhiambo said that the idea is that students can take an active role in making Southeast’s campus a safe and healthy environment for students and faculty alike. According to Odhiambo, the program offers students a five-step decision making process. She said that a student must initially pay attention and notice an event, and then he or she must interpret and investigate this occurrence and decide if it is a problem. Then, according to Odhiambo, the student must assume personal responsibility and figure out the best way to get help. The final step students should take to “step up” is to implement the help or follow through with contacting someone. Read the story at southeastArrow.com.

Southeast gymnast has success after foot injury BRAD CONWAY STAFF WRITER
Southeast Missouri State University gymnast Taryn Vanderpool has made a significant impact on the team after battling a foot injury the past two seasons of her collegiate career. “In vault I did a skill called the ‘Yurchenko Full,’ and it’s prone to injury if you make any mistakes,” Vanderpool said. “I wasn’t very consistent, and so I tended to land in a way that you shouldn’t land and I ended up breaking my navicular bone both years.” Vanderpool said that she was in a lot of pain while the bone was healing but is glad that she’s able to compete at full strength now. “I’m really glad that I’m still competing even though the season is almost over,” Vanderpool said. “It’s really exciting to compete without an injury because when you have an injury, it’s like sitting on the sidelines. It’s still fun, but when you’re doing it, it’s so much better.” Vanderpool, a junior, said she was introduced to gymnastics when she was 3 years old. In 2011, she came to Southeast as a walk-on. “I’m not fully on a scholarship,” Vanderpool said. “I’m on a lot of academic scholarships, and I applied for extra scholarships outside of school. I spent hours doing that, but I do get some help, so that’s awesome.” Vanderpool leads the team with 10 first-place finishes in individual events and in the all-around this season. She has finished in first or second in the allaround in seven meets thus far.
“This is the kind of year we expected her to have her freshman year,” Southeast gymnastics coach Kristi Ewasko said. “We knew this was in her. Her determination was to fight back after her injuries. She’s come back with a vengeance, and I’m very excited for her.” Ewasko said that in practices, Vanderpool brings a “steady rock” about her to the team. “Granted, she’s had a couple falls,” Ewasko said. “We’re all human and we’re going to make mistakes, but more than likely there is no doubt of whether or not Taryn is going to stay on the equipment, do the routine the best she can and really contribute to our team’s score.” In Vanderpool’s performance against Eastern Michigan University on March 3, she recorded a career-best 9.900, the third best bars score in school history, to win the event and place third in the all-around. The Redhawks beat the Eagles with a season-high score 194.775-194.675. “I got a 9.900 on bars, which was very exciting,” Vanderpool said. “I’ve been trying to get that since I don’t know when and I feel like the whole season has been really fun. I really enjoy bars. I score the best on bars.” Ewasko said that Vanderpool is in the rankings to perform at regionals as of right now. “She’s our second all-arounder, in our region, outside of the teams we expect to qualify,” Ewasko said. “The top five go.” Ewasko also mentioned that junior Megan Fosnow, another all-arounder,
A Partnership with Southeast Missouri State University and Rust Communications • To advertise, call 573-388-2741
has the chance to perform at regionals as well. Fosnow has finished either first or second in vault six times this season, and has placed in the top five in all meets in the all-around so far. In Division I gymnastics, teams take their top six scores and drop the highest one, then average the other five scores to get a regional qualifying score. Within those six they must count three away meets. The top 36 schools with the highest scores will receive an automatic bid to an NCAA regional championship. The Redhawks’ next meet will be against the University of New Hampshire, Kent State University and Cornell University at 6 p.m. Friday in Kent, Ohio. The Midwest Independent Conference Championships will be on March 23 in Shreveport, La. “She’s kind of in there, but we still need the next two or three meets to be solid for her in case someone underneath her has a couple good meets to bump her out,” Ewasko said. “But as of right now she’s pretty solid to go to regionals. The NCAA regional championships will take place on April 4. “We’ve made adjustments to her vault, and we’ve changed it up after her injury last year to a brand new vault,” Ewasko said. “So that’s been really fun to watch her grow and mature into a new vault that has been very consistent this season. It’s clean, and it’s pretty and I really expect her to explode there next year.”

Former Southeast football players prepare for NFL combines and pro days KARLEE LURSEN ARROW REPORTER
For many young children who play sports growing up becoming a professional athlete is just a dream. But for three former Southeast Missouri State University football players this dream has the potential to become a reality. With three different stories and three different adventures, long snapper Brandon Gabbard, running back Levi Terrell and linebacker Blake Peiffer are training for the chance to play professional football that many athletes are not given. Gabbard, a native of Peoria, Ariz., has spent his time after his last season of football at Southeast training in the Cape Girardeau area to prepare for the draft. “I have been training and working out with the team still,” Gabbard said. “I go out to run, lift and practice snapping to try and get ready for combines I have been going to.” Unlike Terrell and Peiffer, Gabbard had teams contact and scout him during the season. “I had talked to a couple of teams during the season, including Carolina,” Gabbard said. “A couple of teams have come out to watch a couple of games and film and so far have liked what they have seen. I have a chance but need to take advantage of my
opportunities.” Gabbard said playing professional football would be a little kid’s dream come true and figures the process of getting to the professional level is a fun experience even if all does not work out. Gabbard has been working hard to prepare for pro days and combines and making sure he is in shape and performing at his best. Pro days and combines are times for athletes around the country to come together in one place to perform many tasks in order for scouts of NFL programs to see them. “So far I have attended one super regional combine for the NFL that was out in California and basically we go through our 40-[yard dash] times, broad jump, vertical jump, height and weight and then you go through drills and see how well you do in your drills,” Gabbard said. Gabbard hopes to know by late April or early May if he will play in the NFL next season, otherwise he plans to train for a year and try again. If after a year he still does not sign with an NFL team Gabbard will look to play overseas. Terrell is originally from Desoto, Mo., and has been dealt his fair share of adversity. Terrell began his collegiate football career at the University of Nebraska-Omaha in 2009, but after playing two seasons the school
decided to cut the program. Terrell transferred to Southeast and five games into his junior season he broke his collarbone and his season was over. “It’s always been my dream to play in the NFL. This is finally my opportunity to make it a reality,” Terrell said. Terrell has spent this semester training in Alabama for pro days and NFL combines. “I have done a lot of speed and power training, making the transition into track shape. The tests that are administered at the pro days are based on speed and power,” Terrell said. “I hope to perform well in all of the tests at the combines including the 40-yard dash, 20-yard shuttle, 60-yard shuttle, vertical and broad jump, the 225-pound rep test and the L-drill.” Terrell has not heard from any teams specifically but knows the phone could ring at anytime and he could get picked up as a free agent. “I’m not worried about what I can’t control,” Terrell said. “I’m going to perform my best and give God the rest to handle.” If the NFL does not work out this year for Terrell he plans to pursue playing in Canada or overseas. “That will be a bridge I cross when the time comes,” Terrell said. Peiffer, from nearby Jackson, Mo., grew up
around the game of football his entire life. “I choose to keep playing for the love of the game,” Peiffer said. “Over the years football has become my life and I want to keep playing as long as I can.” Peiffer has spent his time training in places other than his hometown. “Since football has been out I have been training,” Peiffer said. “I played in a small bowl game up in Minnesota with Levi [Terrell] and Drew Gelbach. Currently, I am in Buffalo, N.Y., preparing for the pro day.” Peiffer has been training to get stronger and faster and has focused on mastering his combine drills so he can do the best he can at the pro days. “I plan to do all the combine drills that they run at the pro day,” Peiffer said. “I am running in Missouri Western’s pro day and SEMO’s pro day. I am running multiple times so I can get as much exposure as I can.” Peiffer, like Terrell, has not heard from any teams yet. According the Peiffer, players usually will hear from teams within a week of when the combine has ended. “I hope to get picked up as a free agent if I don’t get drafted,” Peiffer said. “As of right now I am focused on making it work this year and haven’t thought or planned for what I will do if it doesn’t work out.”

PROFESSOR and student win awards STUDENT KATHERINE MILLER WON A PRINTMAKING COMPETITION AND PROFESSOR CHRIS WUBBENA WON IN SCULPTING
Two members of Department of Art win awards apart from university ASHLEY BENNETT ARROW REPORTER
Southeast Missouri State University junior Katherine Miller and sculpture professor Chris Wubbena were winners in their field of art for their printmaking and sculpting skills. Miller is studying for her Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in printmaking. Miller describes printmaking as carving an image into a matrix, which would be a woodblock, piece of metal or stone and transferring the image with ink to a piece of paper. “I came to SEMO thinking I wanted to do illustration, and then I realized I didn’t,” Miller said. “I started seeing a lot of prints that I liked and the idea of being able to create multiple things from one matrix was really cool to me. I then took my first class, and I was like ‘Sold!’” Miller won first place in the regional printmaking competition for the St. Louis chapter of the National Society of Arts and Letters. She originally applied for a scholarship through the organization but came across the competition and decided to enter.
“I always tell students you can be talented, people can recognize your talent, but talent will only take you so far. It’s determination and ambition that is going to take you everywhere else. You can’t rely on talent, you can’t rely on anyone to give you anything, especially in arts. No one is just going to give you things. You have to go out and make opportunities for yourself.” Chris Wubbena “I just figured ‘Why not?,’ thinking that it would be cool even if I could win just third place in the regional competition,” Miller said. “I didn’t think anything would come of it. I was not expecting to win at all.” Miller had to submit five images of her work, and she used some pieces she created last semester and from the beginning of this semester. She also had to submit a resume along with references and information about herself. “I don’t really know about the other competitors. My first inclination is to think that the competition wasn’t very stiff because I’m very critical of my work, so I’m inclined to think that I didn’t beat out someone really good,” Miller said. Miller will get to view her competitors’ work in May. She has been awarded an allexpense paid trip by the St. Louis chapter of the National Society of Arts and Letters to travel to Pittsburgh for the national level of the competition. All of the first-place chapter winners from each state will showcase their winning pieces from the regional competition and a national
winner will be picked. Wubbena moved to Cape Girardeau from Mississippi six years ago with his wife after traveling all over the country. “I love Southeast,” Wubbena said. “Actually, an interesting thing, when we first moved down to Mississippi we would drive down Interstate 55 to go back up to where my parents live in Iowa. We would stop in Cape every time as kind of our halfway point, and we just thought, ‘Why can’t we live here?’’’ Wubbena has taught at a number of different schools and showcases his own work. Wubbena recently won Best of Show at the Art on the River exhibition in Dubuque, Iowa, for his piece entitled “Selective Memory.” This is the 10th year the exhibition is being held and this was Wubbena’s second time entering. There were only 10 pieces of artwork chosen from 118 entries by 66 artists from 20 states and one foreign country. “Best of Show is usually some sort of certificate or money award,” Wubbena said. “This exhibition was a money award. I’ve won best of show in a few other exhibitions and what happens is the jury knew they wanted these pieces in the show. All the artists drove their artwork from wherever they come from and install it. The morning of the show the jury goes around and chooses the best of show. It’s a vote on what they think is the most interesting piece in the show.” The piece “Selective Memory” was actually made some time ago in San Francisco, and since its creation, Wubbena has been taking the piece on the road to different cities to showcase it. “It’s two pieces, and when you look at it from straight on it looks like a picture frame, but a picture frame that is kind of twisted and distorted. It’s a picture frame that has also been eroded and when you look at it you see the picture frame and it looks like a rock that is breaking down,” Wubbena said. There is a little boy etched on the surface and he is holding a rock above his head and he is about to throw it over to the other side. When someone walks around to the back of the other piece, there is an older man that is doing the same and has a rock over his head ready to throw it to the other side. “Basically it was about my relationship with my father up until that point,” Wubbena said. “Where we loved each other, but we didn’t really understand each other, and so it was my way of trying to figure out if I was becoming that older man. It’s also about wasting time arguing in the past, wasting time arguing in the future and all the present in the middle that just got bombarded with all these rocks it just lays to waste.” The piece is nine feet tall. People can walk through the frame, so that they can become one with that space in between. The inside of the piece looks like someone has been throwing things at it and digging holes in it. It is made of metal. It took Wubbena three to four months to complete and has been shown all over the United States. He transfers the piece himself and said it can be a hassle to move because it is so big. “After this show, after installing it I thought, I want to retire it,” Wubbena said. “I’m tired of driving it around. It’s really not easy. So I thought I want to retire it and just put it in my backyard but I think I found a place in Iowa that I’m hoping it will go to, all they have to do is come get it.”
Top: “Selective Memory” by Chris Wubbena. Bottom: “Layers Chairs” by Katherine Miller. Submitted photos Wubbena is working on creating new pieces and getting them into shows. He recently found out he has two pieces selected to be in two different shows, one at Missouri Valley College. Wubbena has also received a grant to travel to England and France this summer to work on a new body of work, which will be a series of sculptures. “I always tell students you can be talented, people can recognize your talent, but talent will only take you so far,” Wubbena said. “It’s determination and ambition that is going to take you everywhere else. You can’t rely on

talent, you can’t rely on anyone to give you anything, especially in arts. No one is just going to give you things. “You have to go out and make opportunities for yourself. A university education is about gaining as many experiences and skills and everything in between in order to create possibility of an enriched life after you’re out of college and even while you are in college. But if you don’t have all that, you have nothing to contribute to a job, career or the world if you haven’t enriched your life.”

Former Olympian speaks on campus KELLY LU HOLDER STAFF WRITER
Michelle Kwan, a 32-year-old figure skating Hall of Famer, walked into the Southeast Missouri State University Show Me Center newsroom a little after 6:45 p.m. on March 6 with confidence and poise. While there was a table and microphone system set up for her in front of the room for a formal press conference, she politely insisted on sitting amongst the reporters and photographers for the chat to be more personal. Trying not to give away any of the big details about her presentation “Aspiring to Greatness: What it Takes to Win,” for the 20122013 University Speaker Series, Kwan sat and briefly talked about the long steps and preparation it took to complete her master’s degree in international relations, her work traveling as a public diplomacy envoy, her love for the Special Olympics program and serving on the board of directors as well as her recent trips back on the ice. “Going to school and finishing my undergrad was a victory because it took me so long,” Kwan said. “It was difficult because I was training and I was competing and traveling, so I was only able to finish a class here and a class there. It took about 10 years. I would always say I was on the 10-year plan.” When asked if she still skated Kwan explained she did not skate on a daily or weekly basis, but she does get on the ice every once in awhile. Her last performance was last month in Korea. She was there for the World Games for the Special Olympics and was asked to skate. Kwan said she loves the Special Olympics and the organization so much that she could not say no. “When I do get on the ice, though, it’s not the same feeling,” Kwan said. “I’m not doing the triple-triple combinations or the triple jumps; no triple Salchows for me.” Kwan also got married this year and dove in with no hesitation when it came to talking about her husband, Clay Pell. “He can’t skate at all,” Kwan said. “I always kid with him because growing up we had such opposite childhoods. He loves reading, which I do too, his wealth of knowledge is opposite I guess because he didn’t really push himself sports-wise. Unfortunately he hasn’t seen me actually skate or perform, so it’s a big
part of my life that he hasn’t been involved with, which is interesting.” Kwan wrapped up the interview with a couple pictures and polite goodbyes and then proceeded to go backstage to prepare for her presentation. Three hundred fifteen fans filed into the Show Me Center, and young girls with notepads and pens sat in the first couple rows of seats to await any advice from Kwan. Residents of the community, students and even the Southeast pole vault team came to hear the presentation. After Kwan was introduced by Student Government Association Vice President Greg Felock, a small clip started describing Kwan’s skating and professional background, and then she entered the stage and was met with applause. According to Kwan, when she travels the country and gives her presentation people always seem to ask her what the key of success is. Kwan simply explained that she does not know what the key to success is but the closest thing to it is preparation. Kwan said the best achievements are not always victories. It is matching a version of yourself. It is when you give it your best – all your heart and soul and hold nothing back. Kwan also described how she started to have the dream of skating professionally when she was only 5 years old, watching her brother Ron play hockey. “The first thing they teach you is how to fall, and I fell a lot,” Kwan said. “But it also teaches you how to recover. Don’t be afraid to fall.” According to Kwan, throughout her skating years she thought of herself as being selfish. She had all these people helping her like coaches, trainers and family. Now she tries to approach life differently by helping others. Kwan said it was difficult to be a studentathlete and have the responsibilities of your workload and your athletic training. “Even while we pursue our goals, we shouldn’t put off life,” Kwan said. Kwan ended her presentation with a short question-and-answer session while a line of fans waited to take pictures with her. “I was expecting exactly what she gave, which was inspiration,” Southeast student Erin Wriedt said. “It kind of helped how she talked about focusing on one certain thing at a time. I feel like with midterms coming up it really helps that she said that.”

Local bistro turns historic house into restaurant and student art gallery J.C. REEVES ARROW REPORTER
Southeast Missouri State University students and other local artists have a new place in Cape Girardeau to display their art. West Bank Bistro, located on the corner of Morgan Oak and South Lorimer Street across from Southeast’s River Campus, is a restaurant that serves homemade baked goods, sandwiches, soups, coffee and vegetarian food. West Bank Bistro is a house that has been converted into a restaurant. The house was built in 1905 and still has many of its original features. Features like the geometrically-designed hardwood floors and bathroom with a pull-chain toilet and clawfoot bathtub give the restaurant its traditional feel. To complement the antique and artistic atmosphere, the owner of West Bank Bistro also plans to turn the upstairs portion of the house into an art gallery for students and other local artists. “Not only [do we plan on] displaying the artwork and giving [the students] a place to work and get away from campus a little bit. Hopefully something they’ll like, and an atmosphere they will enjoy,” West Bank Bistro
owner Kevin Priester said. “Eventually we hope to have some music because there are a lot of talented music students over there.” The house that is now West Bank Bistro was originally owned by the Harrison family, which donated the house and $1 million to Southeast with the intention of the house being used to display art and the money being used to create a performing arts center at the River Campus. An old seminary building became the performing arts center, but nothing was done with the house. “They let the house rot,” said Bradley Phillips, an instructor of photography and graphics at Southeast and Priester’s partner in the art gallery project. “The house just sat there and became kind of a wayfaring house for construction workers and storage, and the house just went to ruins.” Southeast sold the house to a man who sold it to Priester, who had the house fixed back up within a year. “[Priester] has put a lot of work and a lot of effort into the building,” Phillips said. “It looks fantastic, and he’s still working on it. The main floor is completed, but the attic, which is quite spacious, isn’t complete.” The attic of West Bank Bistro needs quite a bit of work before Priester or Phillips will be able to begin displaying any art in it.
“It will take some work. It’s never been finished. It’s really a nice open space, and that’s how it will stay,” Priester said. “A little bit of wiring, some walls and some finish work, but it shouldn’t be that hard. It’ll take a little time and money but nothing too dramatic.” Priester’s main intention is to use the house for what the Harrison family originally intended Southeast to use it. “Kevin has this fantastic vision to follow up with what the donation of the house was for,” Phillips said. “The gallery can serve students and local and regional artists. We can use it as an educational center for the arts.” There already are several pieces of student art displayed in the dining area at West Bank Bistro, and some of the students’ pieces are on sale. Priester said that the plan is to replace the art that is displayed every three to six months so customers have something fresh to look forward to and not the same thing every time they visit the restaurant. Priester plans to do some more improvements on West Bank Bistro before beginning to work on the gallery, but he expects to have it finished by the end of this summer. “We probably hope to start up there in the middle of May,” Priester said. “It’ll be a task, but I think we can manage.” Phillips wants to organize a plan to get

Southeast students to volunteer with the construction of the West Bank Bistro art gallery. “There are certainly some skilled students out there, and Brad [Phillips] has offered to help as well,” Priester said. “I think we’ll be able to get it done with mostly volunteer labor.” Once the gallery is finished, admission will be free of charge. Priester and Phillips plan to use the gallery to not only display local art, but also to host local art shows. “It will be a place where people on campus or students or local and regional artists can show their work,” Phillips said. “We will probably even be sending out calls for entry.” Though the opening of the full art gallery at West Bank Bistro is a little ways away, people can still visit the restaurant and enjoy some original art, home-cooked food and a classical atmosphere. “Short-term, I just want a space where people can show artwork,” Phillips said. “Longterm, if it can develop into something bigger that would be fantastic. If we could do any sort of education, become a non-profit organization, or raise money for the arts or to go back into the school.”

GROUP promotes healthy lifestyles CMO FIT, OR CONSTANTLY MAKING OTHERS FIT, AIMS TO EDUCATE ABOUT EXERCISE AND HEALTHY EATING
Students start CMO Fit group KRISTINA LAUTENBACHER ARROW REPORTER
Members of the Southeast Missouri State University community have been given a variety of opportunities for physical fitness improvements and weight loss. There are free lunch express classes, such as yoga and cycling at the Student Recreation CenterNorth. There are fitness classes such as kickboxing and aerobics, and there are groups that focus on preparing the body for Spring Break. For Southeast student David Miller, that was not enough. Miller, an exercise science and pre-physical therapy major, joined with six of his friends to create a new fitness group. Though they are all from different backgrounds and majors, they all love working out, staying healthy and staying fit. The group decided to put an organization together to help others with their fitness goals. They named their group “CMO Fit,” which stands for Constantly Making Others Fit. “The group stands for a healthy lifestyle and educating people who really aren’t sure about how to go about exercising or how to diet properly or make it a lifestyle in general,” Miller said. “We thought we could add a little bit more variety to it, a little bit more personality to it so that people could relate since it is a student organization.” The first CMO Fit meeting was held Feb. 19 at Glenn Auditorium in Dempster Hall. Derrick Armstrong, a senior communication studies major and one of the managers of CMO Fit, said that the first meeting had a
great turnout. “We had about 25 people, both male and female,” Armstrong said. “It went very well because a lot of people had questions and were able to tell us what goals they wanted to accomplish and what they wanted to learn from future meetings. It was very encouraging for us being able to meet them and interact with them.” For now, the group plans to meet once or twice a month. Miller said that their goal is to have a meeting every other week. The second meeting was held March 11. Miller said that meeting focused on the effects of alcohol on the body and how it affects health and fitness. Once the workouts start, Miller said meetings will be held in public places such as Capaha Park so that they can interact with those who attend and help them with equipment, such as dumbbells and bars, so that they can work with them off campus without the meetings being too far away. Armstrong also said that they will help with up-close exercise instructions and demonstrations as well as having group activities and group exercises. After Spring Break, Miller said that the third meeting will focus on nutrition as a whole. “We will be covering what foods are good, when to eat them, how to make it a lifestyle, our personal experiences with trying to eat healthy and answering any questions,” Miller said. For more information about CMO Fit, students are encouraged to contact Miller at dtmiller3s@semo.edu or dmillstrength@ gmail.com or visit the CMO Fit Facebook page.

Progress paused
Coach Dickey Nutt says Southeast men’s basketball team fell short of goals ERIN NEIER EDITOR
For the third year in a row the Southeast Missouri State University men’s basketball team earned a spot in the Ohio Valley Conference tournament. The Redhawks were also knocked out of the tournament in the quarterfinals for the third year in a row. The Redhawks’ tournament ended with an 84-69 loss to Eastern Kentucky on Thursday. “We wanted to have that championship and anytime the championship goes [to another team], you underachieved,” Southeast senior Marland Smith said. Belmont won the OVC tournament in its first season in the conference. The Bruins defeated 3-time defending champion Murray State 70-68 on Saturday. In Southeast’s quarterfinal game against the Colonels it struggled from 3-point range, shooting just 20.8 percent. The Redhawks shot 38.9 percent from the floor. The Redhawks led four times in the first half, by as many as five points, but went into half trailing 39-31 and trailed for the rest of the game. “In the second half we became rattled and didn’t handle the ball as good as we felt like we needed to and didn’t hit the shots that we’ve been hitting over the course of the last eight or nine games, and so that was the difference in the game,” Southeast coach Dickey Nutt said. “We were very, very disappointed about that because we felt that we were good enough to win and to win that tournament. All in all, we’re disappointed.” Southeast finished with its first winning record since the 20042005 season. The team had two more wins than last year with a record of 17-16, but were only 8-8 in the OVC, one fewer win than last year. The team finished second in the OVC West Division. “We had high expectations as a staff and as a team. Our personal goals were much higher. They were to win our conference and be in the NCAA tournament and win 20 games. We fell short of that,” Nutt said. “However, we were able to have a winning season and land second in our [division in] conference and do some things that we’ve never been able to do here at Southeast Missouri or in a long time. In that aspect of it, we feel good about some of the accomplishments we’ve made.” Senior guards Corey Wilford, Nick Niemczyk and Smith will not return next season. These three were a big part of Southeast’s surge late in the season, specifically their 3-point shooting. Smith made 31 3-pointers, Wilford connected on 25 and Niemczyk had 18 over Southeast’s final eight games. “They’re going to be hard to replace but with good recruiting we’re going to be able to replace them,” Nutt said about the three seniors. “Those guys can really shoot the basketball. We didn’t shoot very well until later in the year, but we ended up fifth in the nation in 3-point shooting, and it’s largely because of those guys
right there because they shoot the ball very, very well. I’m really proud of those guys.” The strong shooting by the Redhawks later in the season helped them win five of their last seven regular season games with all five wins coming against OVC opponents. They were 3-7 in the OVC prior to that span. “We felt like a lot of guys wasn’t playing with their heart and
“We had high expectations as a staff and as a team. Our personal goals were much higher. ... However, we were able to have a winning season and land second in our [division in] conference and do some things that we’ve never been able to do here at Southeast Missouri or in a long time.

giving everything each game, myself included,” Smith said. “So basically one day instead of practice we went out as a team and went bowling and ever since that day the cohesiveness has been real great, and that’s when we finally started playing well as a team.” Southeast had a four-game conference losing streak and a three-game conference losing streak with only one win in between throughout January. “After a couple of losses in a row we came back and we had a very hard practice on a Sunday, but we usually don’t practice on Sunday,” Nutt said. “And then on Monday our guys thought that we were going to just absolutely kill them again and I decided to change that up and decided to take our team bowling.” Nutt said it was the first time he had seen his players smile in a few weeks. “From that point on it’s almost like we held hands and

became a unit and became a better basketball team and that kind of sparked us,” Nutt said. “We came back and won the next games, and won the next one and the next one, and we just kept winning and it all went back to that day of bowling where we had a day just to socialize with each other and put down the whistle and put down the basketball and go do something different. I think it had a lot to do with the turnaround of our season.” Although the Redhawks were unable to win the OVC tournament and earn a berth to the NCAA tournament, Nutt said the team still might have a chance to compete in another tournament this season: the Collegeinsider.com Tournament. “The CIT tournament is interested in us and they’ve looked at our record and we’re second in the league, we’re the number one defensive team in the league, we’re the number two offensive team in the league with a lot of our guys being underclassmen, we’re on the board,” Nutt said. “They’re going to make the decisions this week so there is an outside chance that we could play in that tournament if they choose to choose us, and we will be ready to go. Our goal is always set on the NCAA tournament and the NIT, especially the NCAA tournament. Obviously postseason is postseason and it’s prestigious, so we’re just waiting to cross that bridge when it comes.” If they’re not chosen for the postseason tournament, Southeast will have to wait until next year to progress under Nutt. Nutt mentioned juniors Tyler Stone, A.J. Jones, Lucas Nutt and Michael Porter, sophomore Nino Johnson, freshman Jared White and Auburn transfer Josh Langford and Central Florida transfer Wayne Martin, Jr. as being players that will help the Redhawks improve. “He’s definitely improved the program each year, you can see that in the records. I mean we haven’t won a lot of games, but each year the winning’s increased and we made it to the tournament each of the last three years,” Smith said about Dickey Nutt. “He’s definitely moving the program in the right direction.” Smith believes that Southeast could be successful enough next year to receive the No. 1 or No. 2 seed in the OVC tournament. “That’s the kind of team coach Nutt is building the program in the right direction and the guys that are coming back are really starting to buy into that,” Smith said. “The improvement toward the end of the season, everyone was starting to buy into what he was saying and that’s what’s going to help them out a lot next year.” Southeast actually finished the year where they were predicted in the preseason poll. The Redhawks were picked to finish second in the OVC West Division behind Murray State. “I think we’re in the position to really make some noise next year,” Dickey Nutt said. “Expectations are going to be high again. I think they’ll predict us either first or second next year and so we just want to live up to our expectations and exceed those.”

Elections for Student Government Association positions at Southeast Missouri State University will be held on April 4 and 5. Students can file for candidacy for executive positions until March 14 and can file for senate positions until March 25. There are three executive positions in SGA: president, vice president and treasurer. So far, Benny Dorris, Dale Swift and Cameron Vinson have filed for candidacy to be president. Greg Felock and Derek Lemen have filed for candidacy to be vice president. Nick Maddock, Jami Conley and Camella Jo Reed have filed for treasurer. “[The president] will meet with the executive staff on campus, they sit on administrative council,” SGA administrative assistant Dale Chronister said. “That’s one of the main committees that they are on.” The vice president serves as president of the senate and the treasurer works with student government funding. “There’s funding for organizations they can apply for to do events on campus and then there’s also a discretionary funding account that they can use for student groups who want to go to conferences, stuff like that,” Chronister said. “The treasurer is in charge of the funding board that oversees those accounts to make sure those groups, the ones that applied for it, get an equal chance at that funding.” The requirements for a student to file for candidacy are as follows: students must have at least a 2.0 GPA, be enrolled in at least six semester hours, be in good academic and judicial standing and must fill out a statement of candidacy form. There are also 25 senate seats that need to be filled: four from the College of Science and Mathematics, four from the School of Polytechnic Studies, four from the College of Liberal Arts, four from the College of Business, four from the College of Education, three from the College of Health and Human Services, one from the College of Visual and Performing Arts and one from the School of University Studies/Academic Information. Projects that SGA has worked on include the W.I.N.G.S. shuttle service, the naming of Vandiver Hall and creation of the parking

lottery system with the Department of Public Safety. “The main thing is representing the student body,” Chronister said. “Anything that comes up with student government, student issues, they’re here to work out whatever, try to help the students with whatever they need. If students have problems they just need to come to student government.” The elections are held online on the Southeast portal. Chronister said the voter turnout, usually around 1,200 students, is not good. One of the goals for this election is to increase voter turnout. Making it easier to vote has been a focus of this election. One of the steps taken for this is to simplify the process of finding the place to vote on the portal. In past years there were many steps for students to find where they could vote.
“Anything that comes up with student government, student issues, they’re here to work out whatever, try to help the students with whatever they need. If students have problems they just need to come to student government.” Dale Chronister “I think there were like six different steps to get into it,” Chronister said. “And this year you should be able to sign in and just click on your student tab and get to it. It’ll be a whole lot easier, hopefully.” Another action taken to increase turnout being considered is setting up polling places. “The way elections were in the past is we always had to have ballot boxes and students would vote with paper forms and we always had the League of Women Voters come in and they would man those booths for us,” Chronister said. “We’re looking at setting up some laptop computers around campus and having the same thing.”

REINSTATE
GREEK community to self-govern GREEKS WHO VIOLATE THEIR ORGANIZATION’S RULES ARE NOW PUNISHED BY THEIR PEERS INSTEAD OF THE OFFICE OF STUDENT CONDUCT
A member of each Greek organization to compose reinstated judicial board ANDREA GILS COPY EDITOR
The Interfraternity and the Panhellenic Councils at Southeast Missouri State University have reinstated judicial boards this semester. Students who violate the rules in their Greek organization’s bylaws are now punished by their peers and no longer by the university’s Office of Student Conduct. Christine Loy, interim assistant director for fraternities and sororities, said the aim of having these boards is to provide the Greek community with self-governance. If there are any issues, people can choose to report it to the judicial board of their council first, instead of sending it to the Office of Student Conduct as it was done before. Each judicial board is formed by one member of each greek organization in the council, who applied and interviewed for the position, with one of them being the appointed chairperson. Patrick Vining, pre-med major, is the chairman of IFC’s board, and Tory Loving, exercise science and pre-physical therapy major, is the chairwoman of NPC’s board. Loy operates as an adviser to the board but does not have any voting privileges. Loy said every officer received training at the beginning of the semester and both boards had a mock trial to see how a normal hearing would take place and decide on sanctions for a sample case. She said that the university still would know about an infraction if there is a violation of the Student Code of Conduct. “If it’s something that is serious enough, like a hazing case, then it would automatically
go through student conduct, and the judicial boards could also hear it so that they could provide their own sanctions,” Loy said. Infractions of the bylaws or the constitution of the individual council, such as recruitment or T-shirt infractions, would go to the Greek judicial board. A T-shirt violation could occur when a Greek member volunteers during freshmen move-in day and wears a T-shirt including the letters of their Greek organization, instead of wearing the university-issued one. Loy said that wearing a T-shirt with Greek letters could be considered giving that organization an unfair advantage because students will be more familiar with it. A recruitment violation example would be when Panhellenic sororities give anything to a potential new member or contact them during the recruitment process. Loy said Greek students can only promote Greek life as a whole during recruitment process. Bruce Skinner, assistant vice president for student success and director of Residence Life, will work with students if they have any questions regarding university policy. Skinner said that IFC and NPC provide each individual governing council with best practices, one of which is having some kind of judicial mechanism in place. “Nationally, Panhellenic is required to have judicial boards, and we’ve had them set up in the past but in recent years we haven’t, so we’re pretty much just bringing back something that we should have been having all along,” Loy said. It is also recommended that IFC has a board, but the bylaws that a judicial board is
set up have not been followed in the past few years either, Loy said. “We were supposed to have been having it, but they [IFC and NPC] just weren’t being informed,” Loy said. Loy added that all of the issues that would have been handled by the Greek judicial board were automatically sent to the Office of Student Conduct. According to Skinner, reinstating both boards does not mean Greek students will have a less severe punishment when it comes to sanctions. “It’s scrutiny from their peers, which I think is far more effective than the university always being in the position of ‘You did this wrong, so here’s your sanction.’ Now it’s your peers saying ‘Here’s our policy, here’s why we believe you did that wrong and here’s the sanction,’ and students relate better to students, sometimes better than they do to an administrator,” Skinner said. Loving said that by reinstating the boards, the Greeks wanted to take some of the pressure off the university. “We think it’s really important that it [judicial board] is in place and starts off right the first time so that the university can see that we can handle these things ourselves instead of them just cutting us down because they don’t understand the kind of punishments or consequences would really be helpful for us and to be effective as a whole,” Loving said. Loving’s aim is to give punishments that benefit Greeks educationally or servicewise such as requiring a set amount of service hours as opposed to “fighting them and taking away things from their chapters.”
She said that these types of measures will help them grow and learn not to do these things while not being detrimental to the organization. “By taking away one chapter’s philanthropy, that organization isn’t getting that money, it’s not really hurting that chapter but that organization,” Loving said. “I want our Greek community to thrive and grow and better ourselves, and I think that we can do that.” Loving said that she was picked for her position because she was believed to be unbiased, to be able to hold all of the chapters up to a higher standard and said that conflicts of interest would not be a problem. “I don’t think that [conflict of interest] will be an issue,” Loving said. “I won’t let it be an issue.” According to the Southeast IFC bylaws, if the chief justice of the IFC Judicial Board, in this case Vining, is a member of the accused or accusing fraternity, he must excuse himself from hearing the case. Skinner also said that they have found that, in general, students are more interested in being heard by the administrators than their peers because peers tend to be harsher. If a sorority or fraternity member makes an infraction, an infraction form will be sent to Loy. If Loving decides a hearing is necessary, other steps would follow, resulting in a two to three week process, Loving said. She also said that after alcohol and other violations at the beginning of the academic year, the university is looking at Greeks and waiting for them to “mess up.” She said that the new judicial board would give more credibility to the Greeks.

ORGANIZATION raises more than $8,000 DANCE MARATHON PARTICIPANTS SPENT 12 HOURS ON THEIR FEET TO SHOW SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN IN HOSPITALS
Dance Marathon raises money for Children’s Miracle Network the huge dance at the end that lasts probably about 10 minutes. So each hour they’re taught a certain part of the dance, so at the end we perform it and record it, and we reveal how much we’ve raised at the very end.
RACHEL WEATHERFORD MANAGING EDITOR
Kristin Bey, a senior special education major at Southeast Missouri State University, is the chair of the executive board for Southeast’s Dance Marathon. On March 2 the Dance Marathon event lasted 12 hours and featured speakers, dancing and inflatables, with a dance at the end that participants learned the moves to over the course of the day. Dance Marathon is a national organization that raises money for Children’s Miracle Network, and money raised at Southeast goes to St. Louis Children’s Hospital and Cardinal Glennon Hospital.
Q: What other fundraising events do you have planned? A: We are going to try to do a couple more fundraisers, but we haven’t set them up yet because we took a break off from meetings last week since Dance Marathon just happened, so we haven’t planned any fundraisers yet. But we’re just hoping to get on Facebook and post statuses about fundraising to see if we can generate the rest of that money.
Q: What is Dance Marathon? A: Dance Marathon is a student-run organization on campus, and all the money we raise throughout the year is donated directly to Children’s Miracle Network, so that benefits St. Louis Children’s Hospital and SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center. On this year on March 2 we had an event where families from the hospital came, and we had a big celebration for them. There were inflatables, and we basically stayed on our feet for 12 hours to show our support for them and our motto is like, “We stand for those who can’t because a lot of kids lying in a hospital bed would do anything to just be kids, to run around,” so we’re showing our support for them.
Q: What do you do as the chair of the executive board? A: Personally what I worked on was I led each of the meetings we had on Monday nights, and I worked on getting sponsorship, which paid for our T-shirts and other things that Student Government couldn’t fund. And I made reservations for the rec center and just made sure that we had enough food and prizes for all the participants.
Q: What does the executive board do? A: The exec board throughout the year does fundraisers and other events to raise money for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospital and all throughout the year we’re planning this event that happens in March. So like a week from now, so actually probably Monday, we’ll start planning next year’s event already. So it’s a year-long process.
Q: What was your fundraising goal?
Q: How many students are involved in Dance Marathon? A: We have about 18.
Q: How do students get involved with Dance Marathon?
On March 2 more than 80 people attended Dance Marathon at Southeast. Participants learned the moves to different dances throughout the 12-hour day. Photo by Alyssa Brewer A: We wanted to get $10,000, so we’re still missing quite a bit. Our goal was $10,000 and actually people can still donate through the end of April.
Q: How much has Dance Marathon raised so far? A: We’ve raised so far $8,575.
Q: How can people donate? A: They can visit our website, and there’s a link. It’s dmatse.weebly.com. There’s a “donate now” tab where they can click and donate. We’re not asking for registration obviously because our event happened last week. But they can register for next year that way, too, and we’re still taking donations through April.
Q: How did Dance Marathon go this year? A: It went well in comparison to the other years. It kind of all came together, but we didn’t have as many participants as we’ve had in the past and I don’t know if it was the snow or the cold that kept some people away. Overall it was really nice, and we had a lot of people that were really energetic and willing to
participate for the kids, so I thought it went very well compared to the other years.
A: We’re actually going to be taking applications pretty soon. They can email dmsoutheast@gmail.com. They can just send an email saying they want to get involved with Dance Marathon, “Could you give me more information?” and then we’ll email them back. And then we’re going to be at our common hour table, and we’re going to be handing out applications. And sororities and fraternities and things like that, they can get service hours for coming to Dance Marathon.
Q: How many people attended Dance Marathon? Q: Why did you pick A: We had about, it’s hard to kind of gauge Children’s Miracle Netexactly because so many people come in the building, but at one point we had a head work to support? count of about 80 to 90, but not everyone stayed the full 12 hours, so we might have had more.
Q: What happened at the actual Dance Marathon event? A: There’s 12 hours of different themes. Like, this year we had celebrity hour, we had neon hour. We just had a whole bunch of different ones. Like, we had Disney soundtrack hour. Each hour had a different theme. Throughout the day the families from the hospital will speak. They’re called “miracle families” because they’re miracle children, and they were treated at the hospital. And they shared their stories with us and each hour there are prizes given out, and we learned part of
A: There are actually a lot of Dance Marathons across the United States, and they all work through Children’s Miracle Network, so Children’ Miracle Network has multiple hospitals across the United States, so ours benefits St. Louis Children’s and Cardinal Glennon, so like other Dance Marathons benefit their local hospitals. So it’s just an organization that is straight through Children’s Miracle Network, so we don’t really get to pick, if that makes sense. If you want more information about Dance Marathon you can look on Children’s Miracle Network’s website. On that website it actually talks about Dance Marathon and how it got started and things like that. This was our seventh year doing this so it’s been around for awhile. Not a lot of people know about us, but it’s been here.
How do you deal with the stress of midterms?
Kayla Allen I either go to the River Campus and bang out the stress on the piano or violin or go to the Rec Center and play volleyball with my friends.
Andrew Hacey I don’t get too stressed because I’m kind of a good test taker, and as a music major I have a lot of background on all the material.
Andrew Bugler I usually deal with the stress by putting on a relaxing playlist, laying down and reading a subject a day.

INCREASE
FEE increase reflects inflation THE ROOM AND BOARD RATES WILL GO UP 2.5 PERCENT NEXT YEAR AND INCLUDE STUDENTS’ HOUSING RATE AND MEAL PLAN RATE
Housing prices changed to consolidate price points SAVANNA MAUE ONLINE EDITOR
When a student sees his or her room and board bill from the Office of Residence Life he or she often does not know all the fees that are included in these two separate bills. The room portion of the bill consists of the housing rate — which includes maintenance, upkeep of the facility, employment of custodial staff, the community kitchens, campus shuttles, mail service and many other amenities as well as the Residence Hall Association fee and technology and cable fees. The board portion is a student’s meal plan, which can be separated into different dining-related projects on campus besides the actual money that goes into providing meals. Although fees have been known to jump from one percent to six percent in the past, the bill will only increase with the consumer price index next year. The consumer price index is the cost of living and is often referred to as the inflation rate. Dr. Bruce Skinner, assistant vice president for Student Success and director of Residence Life, explained this increase occurs with state changes or when rates go up in the city. Residence Life must coincide with these rate increases as well. “[For example,] there’s always major costs in utilities,” Skinner said. “That was something we had to deal with a few years ago because we saw significant costs when the City of Cape made improvements to the water quality in Cape Girardeau. These are costs that the residence halls have to pay for all of our residents. Think about 3,000 people — that’s a lot of sewage coming out of the residence halls. We have to pay for that. So when rates go up for things like sewage systems, the residence halls have to pay for that.” A portion of the increase next year will go toward retirement rates for employees, an increase that was set by the state of Missouri. This means an employee will receive their retirement based on the amount of their salary. According to Skinner, the price of retirement rates went up almost two percent, an increase that the state requires the university to cover.
Skinner said the 2.5 percent increase is the only change that he expects in the coming year. Besides students asking for certain amenities within the residence halls or inflationary changes, he does not expect any drastic changes in the room and board bill. Skinner also said there are no new projects pending at this time. Projects involving dining services are handled differently. They are funded through Chartwells Dining Services with costs included in the meal plan. This year the average 15 meals-a-week plan plus $70 in flexible spending is set at $1,240 a semester. Next year the plan will increase $45 a semester, which will make a meal plan consisting of 15 meals a week cost $1,285 a semester. Chartwells received the inflation increase for the 2013-2014 academic year from the student’s bill as well as a one percent increase on top of that, which covers dining projects Chartwells assists in funding, according to Skinner. “It did cost students a one percent increase in their meal plan for those dollars to be provided to the university so that we could then renovate,” Skinner said. “We couldn’t have brought Subway here if we hadn’t reached this kind of agreement [with Chartwells.]” The funds that Chartwells provides this year will go toward renovations being done in Towers Café over the summer, which will be funded through dollars that Chartwells provides the university. In return, students refund Chartwells’ loan through their meal plan bill. Southeast will also make changes to housing costs in the residence halls. For the 2013-2014 academic year, housing in New Hall (Wildwood/Science Quad), Vandiver Hall, Merick Hall, Henderson Hall, Myers Hall, Towers North and Towers West will all be priced the same at $3,000 a semester. Community-style housing in Cheney Hall, Towers East and Towers South will cost $2,125 a semester. Greek housing will cost $2,500 and Dearmont Hall will cost $1,950. Skinner said housing rates are lower for students in community housing in Dearmont Hall because of their lack of central air conditioning.
This Towers South room is shown during tours on campus. Photo by Drew Yount According to Skinner, research was done in the past and showed that students would have preferred a rate structure where similar housing, not identical, is the same price point. Skinner said the prices were changed to reflect these views. When asked if this housing rate is fair specifically in suitestyle housing, Skinner believed so because the basic structure of the rooms is the same. “Prices were based on student convenience as well as being based on the fact that all suite styles are different in different ways, but at their core all of those rooms and their amenities are generally pretty similar,” Skinner said. ”You share a room with one other person, you have a bathroom that you share with the adjoining room, the amount of common area space and access to customer service desk. While the rooms may be slightly different the general residence hall experience is similar. And that’s why we’ve looked at getting a similar price point.”

Why do you think the Harlem Shake has become so popular, and which version is your favorite? Kelly Lu Holder
I think the Harlem Shake is soooo random! I don’t think it’s even considered a dance but oh well it’s out there! I like the underwater version the best. Thats talent right there.
Carter Ballmann
It’s fun and doesn’t offend anyone. Obviously I think the SEMO version is the best!

COMPLETING an internship A-TEAM MEMBERS DISCUSS THEIR OPINION ON INTERNSHIPS AND THE BEST WAYS TO GET THE JOB
Why are internships important for your career?
BILLY SCHMITZ A-TEAM MEMBER
“Internship” is a word that college students hear often. If you talk to university officials and your professors in any field, they will almost always advise students to seek internship opportunities. No matter what you are studying, there is a definite benefit to doing an internship. The most obvious one is getting the “realworld experience” that is so sought after by employers. I often hear older friends looking for jobs in their chosen field lament that they “cannot get a job without experience and cannot have experience without a job!” Sounds like a vicious cycle, doesn’t it? Internships are a great tool to help you avoid this frustration once you begin to seek full-time employment. My older brother Carl works for Boeing in St. Louis and is a member of a team that, in addition to its regular duties throughout the company, goes to colleges to recruit students for internships. As a company, Boeing comes up with a list of “target schools” in their various fields such as engineering, information
friends, the first step is to talk to your adviser. Set up an appointment with them and talk about your options. Plan ahead, and see when you would you be able to fit an internship in your schedule. If you can only do it in the fall or spring, then the job will most likely have to be near the Cape area. If you can do it over the summer, then look for companies outside of Cape. Just be sure you would have the resources available to you if you do get an internship out of your area, like where to stay, the cost and so forth. Through planning with your adviser, you can start your search. Then what? The first place I would tell anyone to look is at all of
those bulletin boards in your department’s building. The flyers posted on there are not just for decoration, they actually have information on different opportunities throughout the year. See if any of those interest you and then find out the details. Also, talk to the people surrounding you. I’m sure some of your classmates have gone through this process so they might have some recommendations based on their own experience. They can probably give you some advice on what type of things to look for in prospective employers. Professors might know of other opportunities available to you as well. Don’t be shy, just ask!
Finally, do your research! Yes, the dreaded word. Get on the internet and search different jobs that interest you and find out the qualifications you need and then talk it over with your adviser. Also, don’t forget to have a kick-butt resumé so you can mail it to them, and if you get an interview, make sure you dress professionally. I know it’s a lot to take in and a lot of work, but getting an internship will not only provide you with experience, it will allow you to network with other professionals. Good luck!
technology, management, finance and accounting to send representatives to. Then they go to career fairs and talk to students, collect applications and resumés, interview potential interns and often test them in real-world simulations. I asked my brother for a list of the advantages internships give to students when they seek employment. His list was similar to ones you would find online or from word of mouth. The advantages he listed were: real-world experience makes you more marketable for a full-time job, internship experience helps validate your major choice, if your internship is paid, you can make a significant chunk of money, it helps make sense of the things you are learning in school and you can start to network and make connections in that field. From that list, most everything is selfexplanatory, but I do want to touch on a couple of the advantages. Helping you validate your career choice and major is definitely huge for us indecisive college students. We all see friends and hear of other students who change their major multiple times or even the horror stories
of people realizing upon graduating that they despise their major! If you do an internship in the field, you can really get a good idea of what you will be doing and be more comfortable with your field. Additionally, the importance of networking with professionals in the field cannot be
overstated. Often times, you just need that interview, that person to vouch for you to get a job or simply a heads up from a friend about an opening. If you have good connections, it is much easier to get those.

It’s getting to be that time where one terrifying word is suddenly starting to creep on you: internship. Let’s face it, trying to figure out where to even begin looking for an internship that you’re actually interested in is not only frustrating but seemingly impossible. And on top of that, you have the pressure of finding some company that is actually going to accept you. It’s definitely not fun. If any of you are going through this or will go through this sometime soon, I feel your pain. So where do you even begin? Well, my
trajectory related to community development, and I knew I had some rethinking to do. And therein lies the true value of your first internship. As college kids, we’re inevitably going to encounter some major life decisions regarding the future — and soon. Internships are a great means to test the waters, soak up information, ask questions, gain experience and make decisions regarding what we do and don’t want to do with our lives. My supervisors aren’t simply “the boss,” they’re also valuable professional mentors that I trust because they’ve been there and are willing to share their experiences.

at the end of February. It’s a night dedicated to honoring individuals in Cape Girardeau who have made an impact in the community through volunteering, development, revitalization and more. The whole time I sat next to one of my supervisors and some other leaders in Cape, I listened to some of the amazing projects that had taken place in town over the past year, and I was absolutely in awe of the strength of the community that exists here. Earlier that day, I’d actually been asking some questions about the sort of business Old Town does and what sort of credentials one needs to go into community development. As I sat at the annual dinner running the PowerPoint slides, I realized that I could see my life following a

For many, an internship marks their first real professional experience. Interns are typically given more responsibility and wider freedoms than they would enjoy with a standard part-time job. The workload can initially seem a little intimidating, but just keep focused, ask questions and soak in all the firsthand knowledge you can. I’m currently in the middle of my first internship. I was hired by Old Town Cape as a public relations/marketing intern. Thus far, I love it. My only complaint is that I wish I could be in the office more hours during the
week. My supervisors are good about giving me a variety of projects to work on as well as keeping me in the loop about how they function as a non-profit in the big picture. Schoolwork is great and everything — I’m actually one of those exceptions of people that enjoy going to class — but the experience that my internship has provided is, in many ways, incomparably better. I always kind of saw myself going into higher education, either in student affairs or alumni relations, but my time with Old Town Cape has made me strongly reconsider. Now, I’m looking into pursuing a master’s in public affairs and going the public policy or city development route. Old Town Cape hosted its annual dinner
