She will show that the violence carried out by al-Qaida is part of an on-going struggle over the future of Islam, one that al-Qaida hopes to win through the murder and intimidation not of Americans but Muslims around the world.

International students have required insurance policy ANDREW TYAHLA STAFF WRITER

Southeast฀Missouri฀State฀University฀began฀ requiring฀international฀students฀to฀have฀ health฀insurance฀in฀the฀fall฀of฀2009.฀Domestic฀students,฀on฀the฀other฀hand,฀are฀encouraged,฀but฀not฀required฀to฀be฀insured. “There฀are฀two฀different฀kinds฀of฀international฀students,”฀Zahir฀Ahmed,฀executive฀ director฀of฀International฀Educational฀Services,฀said.฀“฀J-visa฀students฀are฀required฀by฀ national฀law฀to฀have฀health฀insurance,฀while฀ S-visa฀students฀are฀only฀expected฀to฀have฀ enough฀money฀to฀cover฀all฀expenses,฀but฀the฀ university฀requires฀them฀to฀get฀health฀insurance฀to฀keep฀the฀costs฀down.฀This฀is฀also฀to฀ avoid฀a฀backlash฀from฀the฀hospitals฀and฀the฀ community฀due฀to฀students฀not฀being฀able฀ to฀pay฀for฀services.” International฀students฀are฀able฀to฀buy฀ insurance฀through฀the฀university,฀but฀ domestic฀students฀have฀to฀look฀elsewhere. Southeast฀used฀to฀sponsor฀a฀plan฀through฀ UnitedHealthCare฀Insurance฀Company.฀ However,฀according฀to฀Southeast’s฀website,฀ due฀to฀the฀variety฀of฀options฀for฀health฀insurance฀through฀the฀private฀market฀or฀through฀ government฀programs฀available฀to฀students,฀ Southeast฀stopped฀offering฀it฀beginning฀last฀ fall. The฀university฀does฀offer฀international฀ students฀a฀plan฀through฀Lewermark฀Student฀ Medical฀Insurance.฀While฀international฀students฀may฀already฀be฀insured฀in฀their฀home฀ country,฀they฀are฀not฀often฀covered฀for฀medical฀procedures฀in฀the฀United฀States. “I฀need฀it฀because฀my฀native฀insurance฀ is฀not฀available฀in฀this฀country,”฀Iris฀Lin,฀an฀ international฀student฀from฀Japan,฀said. This฀is฀the฀second฀year฀that฀Southeast฀has฀ worked฀with฀Lewermark,฀but฀it฀has฀offered฀ insurance฀much฀longer฀than฀that. “Every฀year฀we฀go฀through฀a฀bid฀process฀ to฀choose฀the฀provider,”฀Ef฀Sidiropoulos,฀

administrative฀assistant฀at฀International฀ Education฀and฀Services,฀said.฀“We฀had฀worked฀with฀Student฀Insurance฀Services฀since฀ 2006฀until฀2012฀when฀they฀started฀charging฀ premiums฀$300฀to฀$350฀more฀than฀in฀the฀ past฀but฀for฀only฀80฀percent฀of฀the฀coverage.” At฀present,฀students฀pay฀a฀total฀of฀$960฀ in฀two฀payments฀for฀maximum฀coverage฀ of฀$500,000฀a฀year.฀The฀payments฀must฀be฀ made฀each฀semester฀of฀the฀year,฀and฀students฀are฀covered฀during฀the฀summer฀if฀they฀ stay฀in฀the฀U.S. “Students฀are฀covered฀when฀they฀visit฀the฀ campus฀clinic,฀the฀emergency฀room฀or฀any฀ other฀medical฀providers฀within฀the฀insurance฀network,”฀Sidiropoulos฀said. Those฀who฀are฀covered฀by฀the฀university’s฀ policy฀also฀have฀access฀to฀a฀website฀at฀lewermark.com/semo฀where฀they฀can฀get฀a฀copy฀ of฀their฀insurance฀card฀and฀find฀a฀summary฀of฀their฀benefits฀and฀resources฀to฀help฀ them฀find฀medical฀providers฀in฀a฀variety฀of฀ practices. The฀policy฀does฀not฀cover฀vision฀or฀dental฀work,฀but฀students฀have฀access฀to฀links฀to฀ purchase฀optional฀policies. Students฀covered฀have฀access฀to฀a฀ 24-hour,฀seven-days-a-week฀“Nurse฀Line,”฀ which฀allows฀them฀to฀contact฀a฀nurse฀with฀ any฀questions฀regarding฀illnesses฀and฀where฀ to฀go฀for฀treatment,฀at฀no฀extra฀cost.฀Translators฀are฀available฀in฀250฀different฀languages. Should฀a฀policyholder฀suffer฀a฀life-threatening฀injury฀or฀illness฀at฀Southeast฀or฀any฀ emergency฀more฀than฀100฀miles฀away฀ from฀school,฀they฀can฀call฀Scholastic฀Emergency฀Services฀to฀make฀arrangements฀for฀ care.฀Some฀of฀their฀services฀include฀finding฀ a฀medical฀provider,฀compassionate฀family฀ visits,฀delivering฀urgent฀messages฀and฀prescription฀assistance. “If฀you฀needed฀to฀return฀to฀your฀home฀ country฀for฀treatment,฀you฀would฀also฀be฀ covered฀for฀medical฀evacuation,”฀Sidiropoulos฀said.

a฀professor฀in฀Southeast’s฀Agriculture฀ Department.฀Weathers฀explained฀that฀cattle฀ have฀an฀almost฀identical฀gestation฀period฀to฀ human฀beings. “We฀had฀the฀choice฀as฀an฀institution฀of฀ when฀to฀perform฀breeding,”฀Weathers฀said.฀ “For฀the฀maximum฀exposure฀for฀students,฀it฀ was฀decided฀that฀the฀breeding฀should฀take฀ place฀in฀the฀late฀winter฀months,฀and฀thereby฀ the฀calving฀births฀would฀happen฀in฀the฀early฀ fall฀months฀—฀almost฀a฀schedule฀designed฀ exclusively฀for฀Southeast’s฀students,฀some฀of฀ them฀in฀a฀pre-veterinary฀program.” It’s฀been฀a฀bumper฀crop฀of฀calves฀born฀this฀ year,฀Hefner฀said.฀About฀35฀of฀the฀expected฀ 50฀youngsters฀already฀have฀been฀born.฀At฀this฀ rate,฀almost฀all฀of฀the฀calves฀will฀have฀been฀ born฀by฀the฀end฀of฀the฀month,฀which฀is฀a฀couple฀of฀weeks฀earlier฀than฀usual.

Most฀of฀the฀other฀calves฀stayed฀within฀just฀a฀ few฀feet฀of฀their฀mothers฀during฀this฀time.฀But฀ A1,฀older฀than฀the฀others฀by฀just฀a฀few฀days,฀ seemed฀to฀possess฀an฀independence฀defying฀ her฀age. The฀calf’s฀name฀has฀nothing฀to฀do฀with฀ steak฀sauce.฀Each฀calendar฀year’s฀calves฀have฀ a฀letter฀designated฀for฀their฀group.฀The฀year฀ 2013฀has฀the฀letter฀“A”,฀and฀she฀was฀one฀born฀ first,฀leaving฀her฀the฀distinction฀of฀“1.”฀She฀ even฀has฀a฀large฀plastic฀tag฀indicating฀her฀ as฀such฀clipped฀in฀the฀left฀ear,฀almost฀like฀a฀ earring. The฀tag฀is฀purposely฀placed฀in฀the฀left฀ear,฀ Weathers฀said,฀since฀that฀is฀the฀most฀convenient฀side฀for฀it฀to฀be฀read฀from฀when฀coming฀ down฀the฀chute฀of฀the฀corral฀when฀the฀cattle฀ eventually฀will฀need฀to฀be฀transported.

session,฀which฀they฀do฀often.฀On฀another฀part฀ of฀the฀farm,฀the฀newest฀calf฀born฀was฀carried฀ in฀Jessi฀Stone’s฀arms฀out฀of฀a฀stall฀in฀a฀barn.

The฀interior฀design฀program฀at฀Southeast฀Missouri฀State฀University฀will฀celebrate฀five฀years฀of฀hard฀work฀to฀receive฀accreditation฀during฀its฀open฀house. Interior฀design฀instructors฀Shelby฀Hicks฀and฀Carol฀Nesler฀ and฀associate฀professor฀Dr.฀Michelle฀Brune฀began฀preparing฀ for฀the฀National฀Kitchen฀and฀Bath฀Association฀accreditation฀ in฀2008฀and฀finalized฀a฀timeline฀in฀2011.฀It฀became฀an฀accredited฀program฀on฀May฀11. “All฀of฀that฀really฀started฀back฀in฀2008฀with฀looking฀at฀the฀ standards,”฀Nesler฀said.฀“Here฀are฀our฀classes.฀Are฀we฀teaching฀ this?฀If฀we’re฀not฀covering฀the฀standard,฀in฀which฀class฀can฀we฀ cover฀it?฀So฀it฀was฀really฀a฀period฀of฀several฀years฀of฀doing฀all฀ of฀this.” In฀order฀to฀become฀accredited,฀the฀program฀had฀to฀create฀ a฀new,฀more฀innovative฀space฀for฀students฀to฀work.฀The฀new฀ space฀includes฀an฀iPad฀lab฀and฀an฀exposed฀ceiling฀showing฀ plumbing฀and฀electrical฀to฀help฀students฀learn.฀A฀kitchen฀and฀ lighting฀lab฀also฀will฀be฀installed฀in฀the฀new฀space.

Now฀that฀the฀program฀is฀NKBA฀accredited,฀the฀focus฀is฀ on฀the฀Council฀for฀Interior฀Design฀accreditation,฀which฀they฀ expect฀to฀be฀finished฀in฀2015.฀Hicks,฀Nesler฀and฀Brune฀are฀in฀ the฀process฀of฀reviewing฀the฀requirements฀and฀have฀hired฀a฀ CIDA฀consultant฀to฀assess฀what฀needs฀to฀be฀done. “[The฀consultant]฀went฀through฀[our฀program]฀and฀[our฀ department]฀only฀needs฀to฀make฀minor฀changes฀in฀working฀

Southeast฀Missouri฀State฀University’s฀ River฀Campus฀will฀have฀art฀workshops฀ for฀adults฀over฀the฀next฀three฀months.฀ These฀workshops฀are฀a฀part฀of฀the฀Tuesdays฀at฀the฀Museum฀series. The฀five฀classes,฀starting฀with฀watercolor฀and฀ending฀with฀bookmaking,฀will฀ take฀place฀from฀September฀to฀December,฀with฀different฀classes฀taking฀place฀ over฀two฀weeks. Kelly฀Hughes,฀one฀of฀the฀teachers฀ and฀a฀local฀artist,฀said฀that฀the฀classes฀ will฀make฀an฀exception฀and฀allow฀“older฀ teens”฀to฀attend฀if฀they฀show฀a฀drive฀to฀ participate฀and฀have฀excelled฀in฀their฀ previous฀work.฀Hughes฀said฀that฀many฀ women฀in฀the฀community฀have฀taken฀ advantage฀of฀the฀workshops,฀which฀has฀ really฀surprised฀her. The฀class฀topics฀include฀watercolor,฀ glass฀in฀pastel฀chalk,฀pencil฀portraits,฀ portrait฀oil฀painting฀and฀bookmaking.฀ Watercolor฀and฀portrait฀oil฀painting฀will฀ be฀the฀longest฀classes,฀taking฀place฀in฀ September฀and฀November,฀respectively. Curator฀of฀Education฀at฀Southeast฀ Ellen฀Hahs฀is฀teaching฀three฀of฀the฀five฀ workshops฀that฀are฀a฀part฀of฀the฀series,฀ including฀bookmaking,฀glass฀in฀pastel฀ chalk฀and฀pencil฀portraits.฀She฀said฀that฀ she฀picked฀the฀classes฀based฀on฀whether฀

or฀not฀she฀knew฀how฀to฀teach฀the฀class฀ or฀if฀she฀knew฀others฀to฀teach. Luckily,฀Hahs฀had฀local฀artists฀Hughes฀ and฀Cleda฀Curtis-Neal฀in฀her฀arsenal฀of฀ teachers.฀She฀knew฀Curtis-Neal฀through฀ a฀class฀she฀took฀through฀Curtis-Neal’s฀ art฀school. Hahs฀and฀Hughes฀knew฀each฀other฀ through฀volunteering฀at฀the฀Cape฀Girardeau฀Conservation฀Nature฀Center.฀Hughes฀and฀Curtis-Neal฀also฀were฀a฀part฀of฀ the฀Arts฀Council฀of฀Southeast฀Missouri,฀ which฀was฀another฀way฀that฀Hahs฀had฀ worked฀with฀the฀two฀artists. Hughes฀said฀that฀she฀actually฀contacted฀Hahs฀with฀the฀idea฀for฀her฀class฀ and,฀after฀working฀the฀schedule฀out,฀ they฀decided฀to฀add฀it฀to฀the฀lineup฀of฀ workshops฀that฀were฀planned฀for฀this฀ semester. The฀classes฀build฀upon฀each฀previous฀ class,฀so฀Hahs฀recommends฀taking฀every฀ class฀that฀is฀scheduled฀in฀the฀workshop฀ to฀get฀the฀full฀experience. Some฀of฀the฀classes,฀such฀as฀watercolors,฀are฀designed฀to฀be฀for฀artists฀at฀ any฀level,฀while฀others฀are฀described฀ as฀advanced฀classes฀for฀certain฀artistic฀ skills.฀Hughes฀said฀that฀there฀had฀been฀ some฀scheduling฀issues฀with฀her฀watercolor฀class,฀so฀she฀essentially฀had฀to฀reteach฀her฀class฀the฀second฀time฀around. Hughes฀said฀her฀watercolor฀class฀ combines฀different฀techniques.฀She฀

has฀her฀students฀do฀different฀individual฀ techniques,฀which฀they฀will฀build฀on฀by฀ using฀a฀“group฀demo.”฀She฀encourages฀ her฀students฀to฀bring฀in฀their฀own฀images฀that฀are฀fresh฀in฀their฀minds฀to฀work฀ with.฀Hughes฀also฀said฀that฀the฀class฀ has฀a฀focus฀on฀composition,฀which฀is฀ difficult฀for฀beginning฀students,฀so฀she฀ thinks฀this฀is฀important฀to฀work฀on. “I฀have฀to฀sometimes฀tell฀my฀students฀ to฀let฀go฀and฀let฀the฀watercolor฀do฀its฀ thing,”฀Hughes฀said. Hahs฀feels฀that฀even฀for฀those฀artists฀ who฀are฀more฀advanced,฀just฀being฀ around฀other฀creative฀people฀will฀help. “When฀you’re฀around฀other฀artists,฀ you’re฀always฀learning,”฀Hahs฀said. Different฀classes฀will฀call฀for฀different฀ supplies,฀and฀some฀supplies฀will฀be฀provided฀in฀the฀class฀but฀some฀will฀require฀ that฀students฀bring฀their฀own.฀Any฀student฀participating฀should฀contact฀the฀ Rosemary฀Berkel฀and฀Harry฀L.฀Crisp฀II฀ Museum฀to฀find฀out฀what฀they฀need฀to฀ bring฀to฀the฀classes. The฀workshops฀are฀free฀and฀open฀to฀ the฀public฀but฀spaces฀are฀limited.฀The฀ classes฀are฀held฀from฀9฀a.m.฀to฀noon฀ every฀Tuesday฀until฀Dec.฀17฀at฀the฀Crisp฀ Museum.฀Registration฀for฀one฀of฀the฀ upcoming฀classes฀can฀be฀done฀over฀the฀ phone฀at฀573-651-2260฀or฀by฀email฀at฀ museum@semo.edu.

Recent trauma or life crisis: A major life crises might trigger a suicide attempt. Crises include the death of a loved one or pet, divorce or break-up of a relationship, diagnosis of a major illness or loss of a job or serious financial problems.

Making preparations: Often, a person considering suicide will begin to put his or her personal business in order. This might include visiting friends and family members, giving away personal possessions, making a will and cleaning up his or her room or home. Some people will write a note before committing suicide.

Changes in personality and/or appearance: A person who is considering suicide might exhibit a change in attitude or behavior, such as speaking or moving with unusual speed or slowness. In addition, the person might suddenly become less concerned about his or her personal appearance.

Dangerous or self-harmful behavior: Potentially dangerous behavior, such as reckless driving, engaging in unsafe sex and increased use of drugs and/or alcohol might indicate that the person no longer values his or her life.

Sudden calmness: Suddenly becoming calm after a period of depression or moodiness can be a sign that the person has made a decision to end his or her life.

Withdrawal: Choosing to be alone and avoiding friends or social activities also are possible symptoms of depression, a leading cause of suicide. This includes the loss of interest or pleasure in activities the person previously enjoyed.

Threatening suicide: From 50 percent to 75 percent of those considering suicide will give someone, a friend or relative, a warning sign. However, not everyone who is considering suicide will say so, and not everyone who threatens suicide will follow through with it. Every threat of suicide should be taken seriously.

We see many different faces around campus each and every day. There’s the girl who sits in the very back, left corner of the classroom covered by her baseball cap, the boy who always takes the green shuttle to and from class because he just had knee surgery and the professor that stays two hours after their courses and wakes up three hours before just to get ahead on their curriculum. Each and every day one of these faces could belong to someone who is contemplating suicide. In the past seven months, there have been three suicides connected to Southeast Missouri State University. We remember Jordan Hale, a cherished friend and recent Southeast graduate, who shot himself in February at his Cape Girardeau apartment. Timothy Tooley, a hard-working student and fraternity brother, hanged himself in early August. Finally, there was Jonathan Wagner, a Southeast IT network specialist, who shot himself during business hours at the River Campus in June. Associate professor of child development Victor Wilburn received his doctorate in child development for the purpose of studying child abuse and suicide, with suicide being the primary focus of his research. Wilburn also is the director of the VICTORY program on campus, which counsels victims of date rape, sexual assaults and other violent acts of crime. The VICTORY program was established at Southeast about seven years ago, and Wilburn has worked with the program since 2010. “I got into the research area because I was initially a rural sociology major, and I took a part-time job working at a youth development center working with troubled youth and sex offenders,” Wilburn said. “Out of working with that population I was met with, first hand, the harsh reality that some people’s lives are so stressful they’re working to cope and manage and to understand such experiences that they contemplate suicide and have harsh backgrounds like sexual abuse in the early years of their life, and it affects their character.” According to Wilburn, suicide is the second and in some studies identified as the third-leading cause of death in people between the ages of 16 and 24. It is the sixth-leading cause of death in children ages of 6 to 15. Research also has discovered that suicide is the second-leading cause of death among college students. “A person who is close to acting on suicide doesn’t look that different from the person who is clinically depressed or someone who has an acute stressor that they are having a difficult time coping with,” Wilburn said. “Because we live in a high-charged society these things are common to see in people, and truthfully it’s not uncommon to see or discover people who are actually thinking more and more about it [suicide] and acting on their thoughts. And in time he or she tends to become successful at their attempts.” Wilburn said before completing suicide young adults may reach 14 - 15 attempts. Suicide is a topic people don’t generally like to discuss. So when someone sees that someone else is in distress, they generally don’t know what to do or how to react. “Often times people are coping by committing suicide because it is their way of resolving the pain,” Wilburn said. “So we need to be more vigilant, we need to be more aware as a college-campus community. We need to understand, we need to put into context the kinds of stress our students are exposed to, our leaders, our faculty or community at large. Stress is a normal part of life, but there are always things we can do to minimize and offset the trauma of stress. I think it is the trauma of stress or the outcome where stress exceeds or exhausts my ability to cope, manage and adapt that is where we have problems.” Wilburn explained the importance of faculty and staff at Southeast being more alert to the amount of stress that is put on students. “When stress aggravates the coping strategies or the resources that students have to stay healthy we [as faculty] should be aware about that,” Wilburn said. “We need to make sure that our students are not so stressed that they have forgotten how to take care of themselves and when we see that people are in distress we need to learn how to build that support.” Sophomore psychology major Lauren Denult has had to deal with suicide first hand. Her older sister, Courtney Denult, committed suicide when Lauren was a freshman in high school. “I still cry about this,” Denult said, struggling to explain her story. According to Denult, her sister was dealing with a plethora of issues like depression, bullying, bipolar disorder, eating disorders and contemplating thoughts of suicide for a while. She was only going to half days of school and went to counseling sessions that her family urged her to attend. “So she would go until noon and take two classes until noon, and then she would just be done for the day because she’d get so stressed out,” Denult said. “People were bad; you know things just kept building up. So she would get off of school at noon, and she would go to her counselors at 2. She came

home, went in for a nap, my mom went to go wake her up for her counselor meeting and found her and she had committed suicide.” Denult said her mom felt a heartbeat and took her to the hospital, but by the time she arrived there her sister had died. “That was really, really rough,” Denult said. “We were 15 months apart. We were really close in age and, like, growing up and stuff. It was the first kind of death that I had ever experienced or even knew what it was.” Denult described being impressed that more than 900 people attended Courtney’s funeral in their small hometown. According to Denult, there were so many past and present students who were affected by her sister’s death that she realized it wasn’t just about her or her family. It was about the healing of so many other people who were hurt and confused. Denult said she gave them someone to talk to. “I found that people need to talk,” Denult said. “They need someone to listen to them and understand them and most people do find more comfort in talking to the family members because they know what they’re feeling, they understand. I think it helped a lot when I put myself into someone else’s shoes because they jus t need to talk.”

“A person who is close to acting on suicide doesn’t look that different from the person who is clinically depressed or someone who has an acute stressor that they are having a diffucult time coping with.” Victor Wilburn Denult said she became like a mini-counselor in high school. She listened to people and it got to the point where students would walk into the guidance counselor’s office to talk to her. “Every situation is different,” Denult said. “If someone was contemplating suicide I think I would just listen for a while, and I think that’s one of the biggest things you can do for someone in that situation because most people who want to end their life don’t know what they want out of life. They don’t know what types of people they want to be surrounded with, they don’t know how to deal with their feelings, and that’s a big thing. They don’t know how to handle their feelings. They don’t know what they’re feeling, why they’re feeling it, so I think listening is definitely a good suggestion.” Denalt said that friends helped a lot in her coping process but stressed that you can’t force someone to get help. “Counseling does not work for everyone,” Denult said. “Courtney is the biggest example of that. I think you seriously have to assess the situation and assess who the person is, like every case is different, but the biggest thing for a friend to do is listen. There are so many cues and little things. I think about them now, like when Courtney would say something or what she would do. At the time you don’t see it because it’s a normal day, but in reality it’s because she’s depressed.” Wilburn explained that a significant sign of suicide or depression is when people start distancing themselves and breaking off from their normal routine. “Suicide often times, because it is so strongly correlated with depression, you find that people start to close on their communities, and what I really mean by that is you go from someone who is very engaged in their community to becoming less engaged. So what they’re doing is socially disengaging as a precursor to the physical act of suicide because suicide in itself is a disengaging act. It is separation of life. So when you see shifts in behavior patterns, even eating patterns, things of this nature, these are all indications.” According to Denult, people who are depressed have to want to get help. You can’t force them too much to the point that it breaks them. As a friend you need to listen and constantly be there for them. Wilburn explained that it is really important to let someone know if you start to see significant changes amongst your friends or even professors. “When someone discloses to me or someone’s behavior is significantly unpredictable, or falls significantly outside the norm, we have a responsibility to that person and to ourselves to make sure we are not the only person that has that information,” Wilburn said. “We’re not all professionals. So therefore, we must make sure we put that information where it needs to be. If that means getting law enforcement involved then do

Southeast student Lauren Denult, left, with older sister Courtney, who committed suicide when Lauren was a freshman in high school. Submitted Photo so. It’s better to be wrong and keep someone alive than to reverse.” According to Denult, her best piece of advice would be to keep moving on and stay strong. Denult is the vice president of the To Write Love on Her Arms organization that helps to present a beacon of hope to people who are struggling with addiction, self-harm and depression. “When I first started going to meetings, I was uncomfortable,” Denult said. “I didn’t want to talk about it. I didn’t want to hear about it, but then after a while you started to hear other people’s stories and then you realize that you’re not alone. That there are people who are uncomfortable with it and you’re not by yourself, which is like the biggest thing I think, which is you’re not alone and there are people that you don’t see on campus everyday, but they’re struggling with the same things you did.” The To Write Love on Her Arms organization meets at 8 p.m. on Tuesdays in the University Center. To report an incident, talk to a counselor or get involved with upcoming events with the VICTORY program, go to cst.semo.edu/victory/class. To talk to a counselor on campus, contact Counseling and Disability Services at 573-986-6191 or go to the office on the first floor of Dearmont Hall. If you or someone you know is contemplating suicide or just needs someone to talk, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK or Missouri Crisis Hotline South and Central Region at 800-356-5395. Both are available 24 hours a day. “We need to ensure that he or she has the support they need to be successful because at the end of the day that is why we’re here,” Wilburn said. “We’re here to create the best of our students and sometimes that does mean to create an environment where our students are being pushed and challenged. We can play a role in reducing the trauma of stress to where our students and professionals alike are not at the point where we feel like we have exhausted our ability to cope.”

FROM preaching to teaching SOUTHEAST GERMAN PROFESSOR PREVIOUSLY A PASTOR ON CAMPUS AS WELL AS IN MUNICH, GERMANY

Southeast professor interested in Germany and Christianity KELLY LU HOLDER MANAGING EDITOR

Dr.฀Fred฀Poston฀is฀not฀only฀a฀German฀professor฀at฀Southeast฀Missouri฀State฀University฀but,฀ at฀one฀point฀in฀time,฀he฀served฀as฀a฀Christian฀ pastor฀as฀well. Poston฀is฀a฀“hometown฀boy”฀who฀grew฀up฀ in฀Cape฀Girardeau.฀He฀and฀his฀wife฀moved฀to฀ England฀in฀1979,฀where฀they฀lived฀for฀a฀year฀ and฀a฀half฀and฀then฀moved฀to฀Munich,฀Germany,฀where฀they฀worked฀with฀the฀church฀ ministries฀there฀for฀11฀years.฀They฀then฀ moved฀back฀to฀Cape฀in฀1992. Poston฀saw฀an฀opportunity฀to฀teach฀at฀ Southeast฀in฀2006฀and฀grabbed฀it.฀He฀has฀a฀ background฀in฀psychotheology฀and฀now฀teaches฀five฀courses฀at฀the฀university.

So, why German? I฀had฀a฀desire฀when฀I฀was฀11฀years฀old฀to฀go฀ to฀Bavaria,฀before฀I฀even฀knew฀where฀Bavaria฀was.฀It฀was฀just฀a฀desire฀that฀I฀had฀and฀I฀ don’t฀even฀know฀what฀might฀have฀awakened฀ that฀desire,฀but฀I฀remember,฀once฀we฀got฀to฀ Munich,฀the฀capital฀of฀Bavaria,฀we฀were฀just฀ sitting฀there฀about฀a฀month฀after฀we’d฀gotten฀there฀and฀I฀was฀reminded฀of฀the฀fact฀that฀ when฀I฀was฀11฀I฀had฀that฀desire฀and฀I฀was฀like,฀ “Wow,฀here฀I฀am.”฀ I฀guess฀I฀was฀just฀interested฀in฀what฀I฀only฀really฀knew฀about฀Germany฀at฀the฀time฀and฀that฀ was฀WWII,฀those฀early฀years฀and฀then฀I฀was฀ just฀always฀interested฀in฀all฀things฀German฀ and฀the฀opportunity฀came฀to฀move฀there,฀so฀I฀ was฀pretty฀excited฀about฀that.

Is it true that you were a pastor? I฀have฀been.฀I฀had฀stepped฀out฀of฀that฀position฀ just฀recently฀in฀August฀in฀order฀to฀have฀time฀to฀ do฀this฀[teach].฀When฀I฀was฀a฀pastor฀I฀was฀only฀ part฀time฀at฀the฀university.

Do you still work at all with the IT Student Ministry? No,฀that฀is฀closed฀down฀now.฀It฀was฀just฀the฀ end฀of฀the฀line฀and฀time฀to฀transition฀from฀ that฀for฀me.

Do you still do any religious ministry work? I฀haven’t฀yet.฀I’m฀not฀opposed฀to฀it.฀It’s฀just฀at฀ this฀time฀with฀closing฀that฀[IT฀Student฀Ministry]฀down฀and฀being฀pretty฀busy฀here฀there฀ haven’t฀been฀any฀other฀opportunities.฀However,฀I฀don’t฀doubt฀that฀they฀will฀come.

How did you balance your ministry work and your work here as a professor? It฀was฀busy.฀I฀only฀had฀three฀classes฀here,฀ which฀together฀with฀my฀other฀responsibilities฀ made฀for฀a฀full฀week.฀It฀was฀again,฀just฀time฀for฀ a฀change.฀I฀mean฀I฀enjoyed฀doing฀that,฀I฀wasn’t฀ sick฀of฀it฀or฀anything,฀but฀it’s฀nice฀to฀be฀able฀to฀ focus฀on฀one฀thing฀right฀now.

Did you ever incorporate any religious aspects into your German courses? Well,฀aside฀from฀giving฀first-hand฀experience฀ of฀the฀religious฀setting฀in฀Germany,฀not฀so฀ much.฀In฀my฀other฀classes฀—฀I฀do฀a฀European฀ film฀class,฀and฀we’ll฀talk฀about฀world฀views฀ and฀a฀lot฀of฀the฀directors฀are฀using฀theological฀ symbolism฀and฀imagery,฀which฀I฀can฀recognize.฀That฀helps฀some,฀but฀I’m฀not฀trying฀to฀ give฀a฀particular฀Christian฀view.฀ Of฀course,฀in฀the฀religion฀classes฀it฀helps฀a฀lot,฀ and฀I฀did฀a฀New฀Testament฀literature฀class฀last฀ semester.฀So฀all฀of฀that฀training฀is฀certainly฀a฀ good฀basis฀for฀what฀I’m฀doing.

Do you hope to take up ministry work again in the future? I฀really฀don’t฀see฀a฀functioning฀in฀that฀capacity฀in฀the฀foreseeable฀future.฀I฀know฀there฀will฀ be฀opportunities฀for฀ministry,฀for฀instance฀in฀ the฀church฀we฀helped฀start฀in฀Germany฀years฀ ago.฀We฀have฀an฀ongoing฀relationship฀with฀ them฀and฀periodically,฀when฀I’m฀there฀I฀may฀ be฀asked฀to฀speak.฀There฀may฀be฀other฀opportunities฀around฀here,฀which฀I฀certainly฀enjoy฀ and฀I฀would฀be฀glad฀to฀do.฀There’s฀just฀nothing฀ on฀the฀radar฀right฀now.

When did you help start a church in Munich? It฀was฀1981฀to฀1992.฀We฀started฀off฀working฀ with฀university฀students฀there฀in฀Munich.฀I฀ had฀contacts฀since฀I฀was฀17.฀I฀just฀love฀this฀age,฀ working฀with฀students฀and฀being฀around฀students.฀We฀found฀out฀that฀the฀young฀people฀ there฀had฀had฀enough฀of฀organized฀religion,฀ which฀they฀thought฀it฀was฀empty฀and฀lacking.฀So฀we฀were฀able฀to฀show฀and฀teach฀them฀ a฀dynamic฀dimension฀of฀Christianity,฀which฀ was฀more฀of฀what฀they฀were฀looking฀for.฀So฀it฀ was฀successful,฀thankfully.฀It฀was฀great฀being฀ able฀to฀reach฀mostly฀young฀people฀and฀their฀ families฀that฀came฀along฀as฀well.฀The฀church฀ is฀still฀going฀and฀doing฀a฀whole฀lot฀better฀than฀ when฀we฀left฀it.฀It’s฀very฀rewarding฀to฀look฀and฀ see฀how฀well฀they’re฀doing.

What do you see for your future plans here at Southeast? I฀love฀being฀here.฀It’s฀a฀great฀group฀of฀colleagues฀we’re฀working฀together฀with,฀and฀I฀have฀ enjoyed฀getting฀to฀open฀up฀a฀new฀world฀for฀ students.฀In฀teaching฀a฀culture฀or฀a฀new฀language฀I฀hope฀that฀this฀inspires฀people฀to฀get฀ to฀experience฀more฀of฀the฀world฀than฀they฀

would฀get฀to฀otherwise.฀Learning฀a฀second฀ language฀or฀a฀foreign฀language฀is฀more฀than฀ just฀substituting฀one฀word฀for฀another.฀It’s฀ opening฀up฀a฀whole฀other฀world,฀and฀I฀think฀ that฀the฀opportunities฀that฀I’ve฀had฀and฀I฀ come฀to฀appreciate฀more฀and฀more฀of฀what฀ I฀see฀and฀how฀few฀people฀have฀had฀that฀ opportunity.฀ Us฀[he฀and฀his฀wife]฀personally,฀it฀has฀really฀ added฀a฀lot฀to฀who฀we฀are฀and฀how฀it’s฀changed฀our฀view฀of฀the฀world฀in฀a฀positive฀way.฀I฀ think฀it’s฀a฀privilege฀and฀an฀honor฀to฀be฀able฀ to฀open฀that฀same฀door฀for฀other฀people,฀to฀ experience฀things฀they฀may฀not฀ever฀had฀a฀ chance฀to฀do฀otherwise.

Have you met any international students on campus from Germany? Yes,฀there฀are฀three฀women฀here฀now฀and฀I฀did฀ meet฀them.฀I฀certainly฀want฀to฀reach฀out฀to฀ them฀for฀the฀interaction฀of฀course,฀but฀mainly฀ to฀make฀sure฀that฀they฀feel฀at฀home฀here.฀That฀ if฀they฀need฀anything฀like฀going฀to฀the฀store,฀ which฀they฀usually฀find฀ways฀to฀do฀all฀that,฀ but฀I฀just฀don’t฀want฀them฀to฀feel฀like฀they’ve฀ been฀dumped฀here.฀Most฀of฀them฀find฀their฀ way฀around฀well฀and฀make฀friends฀easily.฀I฀do฀ hope฀that฀our฀culture฀sees฀the฀importance฀for฀ learning฀other฀languages฀and฀other฀cultures.

If you could play any other sport, which one would it be and why?

Sam Poole (Football): Basketball, because I think it’s the next most competitive thing next to football. I played three years in high school, and prefer team-oriented sports.

Heather Robinson (Tennis): It would have to be soccer just because I’ve grown up around that being young, and I used to play for fun with all my friends.

Nino Johnson (Basketball): I would love to be a boxer because I love the work they put into their bodies and my body is my temple. ... Plus being able to fight on a big stage for big money.

Tyler Iago (Baseball): I would play golf. It seems like a leisurely sport, and there seems to be quite the reward with money in it, and you seem to get quite a few fans for not too much strenuous work.

It’s a conscious decision on my end – a decision to not take on more than I can handle, to not feel like I’m drowning in responsibilities and to give myself time to relax and recharge.” skill฀to฀acquire.฀I’ve฀had฀a฀number฀of฀pretty฀ dark฀days฀because฀I฀let฀stress฀pile฀on฀stress.฀ Like฀many฀others,฀I฀constantly฀feel฀limited฀by฀ the฀fact฀that฀I฀have฀only฀one฀brain,฀one฀body฀

and฀24฀hours฀in฀a฀day. Coping฀with฀stress฀doesn’t฀just฀happen.฀It’s฀ a฀conscious฀decision฀on฀my฀end฀—฀a฀decision฀to฀not฀take฀on฀more฀than฀I฀can฀handle,฀to฀not฀feel฀like฀I’m฀drowning฀in฀responsibilities฀and฀to฀give฀myself฀time฀to฀relax฀and฀ recharge. I฀often฀joke฀that฀sleep฀is฀the฀first฀thing฀a฀ college฀student฀sacrifices.฀I฀do฀it฀all฀the฀time.฀ However,฀adequate฀rest฀is฀an฀essential฀stresscoping฀strategy.฀Everyone’s฀sleep-wake฀tolerance฀is฀a฀little฀bit฀different,฀and฀different฀ studies฀provide฀different฀numbers.฀Personally,฀if฀I฀have฀to฀operate฀on฀less฀than฀six฀hours฀ a฀night฀for฀an฀extended฀period,฀I฀start฀to฀ function฀inefficiently.฀On฀the฀other฀hand,฀I฀ often฀tell฀my฀friend฀that฀he฀doesn’t฀sleep฀and฀ simply฀recharges฀his฀batteries฀at฀night. I’ve฀read฀a฀lot฀of฀articles฀that฀state฀an฀individual฀needs฀to฀know฀when฀to฀say฀‘no’฀to฀ commitments.฀I฀agree฀to฀an฀extent,฀but฀I฀ typically฀try฀to฀better฀manage฀all฀my฀‘yeses.’฀ When฀an฀opportunity฀comes฀up,฀the฀last฀ thing฀I฀want฀to฀say฀is฀that฀I฀can’t฀work฀it฀into฀ my฀schedule.฀I’ll฀usually฀just฀sacrifice฀sleep,฀ which฀I฀already฀said฀not฀to฀do.฀I฀would฀do฀ well฀to฀listen฀to฀my฀own฀advice฀most฀of฀the฀ time.
