eSports club looking to expand on campus

Therefore, the academic funding can support both activities.” With the new equipment, the esports club wants to expand, but Claiborne is holding back because of its quick growth. “We anticipate that this will grow an incredible rate,” Claiborne said. “We are already, by September, where we thought we would be in May at the end of this year.

Most of our members there are casual players, so it’s nothing necessarily serious. We want it to be a fun place for everybody to just join in, have fun, meet new people and socialize.” The esports club plays many games as of now, including Overwatch, League of Legends, Apex Legends, Call of Duty and more.

Gameday experience enhanced for students and fans Nick Kendall Staff Writer nkendall1@murraystate.edu

The Murray State athletic department has partnered with Racer Dining to improve gameday for students. Athletic Director Kevin Saal wants to bring convenience to students who attend games. “Collectively, Racer Dining and Murray State Athletics want to provide a first-class gameday experience,” Saal said. “Convenience is one small way we can do so… in this particular case, we have the technology and infrastructure available to

provide this service to our students and made the decision to proceed forward.” Currently, students can only use Flex at Roy Stewart Stadium and the CFSB Center, but Saal and the respective departments are working to expand that to other locations. “As we work toward our other events, doing so requires necessary equipment and infrastructure that doesn’t currently exist at all athletics venues,” Saal said. “However, in our comprehensive facility master planning process, we will work to prioritize and provide this equipment and infrastructure at all our events, in an effort to make it convenient and

accommodating for students.” Saal wants to make the gameday athmosphere better not only for students, but the student-athletes as well. “Our student-athletes feed off the great environments and crowds we experience in all our venues and the students are critically important to that effort,” Saal said. “Studentathletes enjoy performing well in front of their peers and our goal is to make it more convenient and accommodating for students to attend athletics events.” Saal expects many more promotions similar to this to help bring not only student attendance up but over-

all attendance up in every sport. “Collaboratively between Racer Dining and Murray State Athletics, we are providing high-volume hawking service and concessions delivery program to the new 600+ Racer Reserve seats in Stewart Stadium,” Saal said. “In addition, we offer a catered food menu for the Racer Reserve Infield Boxes. Highly efficient and good quality food and beverage service is a critical component of our gameday experience and between Racer Dining and Murray State Athletics we will continue to explore new initiatives to further improve our service framework at events.”

financially the University just could not sustain it. “The idea behind Accelerate U! is a very good idea,” Provost Tim Todd said. “The issue is on the fiscal side for Murray State.” While the Accelerate U! Program will be dissolved, Todd told board members there are already other programs in the works to meet the needs of these students. “Our tremendous partnership with WKCTC is only going to be enhanced as we move forward,” Todd said. “Meetings are already set up with their academic affairs officer, all kinds of other activities behind the scenes of this program that are going to continue and enhance the partnership with WKCTC.” The University will continue with the program through the end of the spring semester, officially dissolving it on June 30, 2020. “There has to be a more cost-effective manner to do this,” Jackson said. “It’s important work, it’s important we continue to assist the at-risk students.”

Owens is a Murray State alumnus and president of Swift and Staley Inc., a contracting service based in Paducah with branches located in Washington D.C. and Ohio. Owens earned his bachelor’s degree in political science from Eastern Illinois University and a master’s degree in business administration from Murray State. His term on the Board expires in 2025. “Everyone holds him in the highest regard,” Trey Book, Student Government Association president, said. Owens said he has always been a part of a team and wants to take the same approach with the BOR. “I’m honored that the governor felt me worthy of this appointment,” Owens said. Owens’ main focuses are the students and faculty, and how the board positively impacts those involved, Melony Shemberger, faculty regent said. “I honestly have benefitted from my two years

The Board of Regents voted unanimously to dissolve Accelerate U!, a pilot program aimed at preparing West Kentucky Community and Technical College students to become full Murray State students. The program, which began in fall 2018, served 36 students last academic year and currently has 50 enrolled. Students take first-year courses at WKCTC and Murray State, but do so on the University’s campus while living in the residential colleges. AU! students are provided additional support in areas such as writing, reading and math. With a successful completion of the first year, students are then admitted as full Murray State students. “These are not Murray State students technically, [they are] WKCTC students,” President Bob Jackson said at the Sept. 6 BOR meeting. Since they are not Murray State students, the University

is unable to collect financial aid such as KEES money, Pell Grants or student loans, which is creating a financial burden. “At the end of the spring, auditors looked at the books and there was approximately $100,000 in unpaid housing and dining for that core of students,” Jackson said. That’s because the University has to bill students directly for housing and dining and is not receiving the funds. As of the Board meeting, Jackson said that number had grown to $148,000 and he anticipates an additional $100,000 in losses for this academic year. He said Murray State had an agreement with WKCTC that any overages in regards to financial aid would be passed on to the University to offset some of the losses. “The problem is with a lot of these students there is no money available from their KEES, Pell Grant, students, whatever the case may be student loans,” Jackson said. While the program was productive academically,

Hester’s Phoenix Day remembers life of Minger Daniella Tebib News Editor dtebib@murraystate.edu

Hester Residential College hosted its annual Phoenix Day on Sept. 18 to remember the life of Michael Minger. Hester caught fire on the fourth floor on Sept. 18, 1998 at 2:38 a.m. An hour following the fire, Michael Minger, sophomore from Niceville, Florida, was pronounced dead at Murray-Calloway County Hospital. Another student, Michael Priddy, was also critically injured in the fire. Investigators determined the fire was arson. As a result, the University offered a full scholarship and a $30,000 reward for information. Jerry Wayne Walker Jr. was charged with arson, manslaughter, assault and wanton endangerment following the fire. The first trial ended in a hung jury and he was acquitted in the second. In 2012, Walker Jr. struck a plea deal that stipulated a

diversion of sentencing with no jail time. He pleaded guilty to six counts of tampering with evidence as part of the agreement. After an incident relating to his role as assistant principal at Paducah Middle School, in Paducah, Kentucky, Walker Jr. was sentenced to three years in prison. According to a 2016 Murray Ledger & Times article, he was also given five years of probation for violating the diversion agreement. His probation is set to end in 2021. Kenny Fister, Hester College head, said the members of Hester host Phoenix Day annually to memorialize Minger, the other injured students and first responders. The residents of Hester raised $600 for the Murray Fire Department. Fister said the event was named Phoenix Day because despite the damage to the building and loss of Minger, the Hester community still remained strong. “Hester came up with the name of ‘Phoenix’ since the

also makes them realize even though it seems like something we only ever see on the news, we want to be careful and make sure to keep everyone and themselves safe.” To prevent future fires, Fister said various fire safety improvements were made, including the additional sprinklers implemented in each building.

phoenix rose from the ashes,” Fister said. “The rest of that semester the residents were dispersed to various other buildings and houses in the community, despite that they continued to host activities and meet. They even participated in the Homecoming Parade a few weeks later. It further illustrated that the Residential Colleges are more than a building, but the community of students, both residents and commuters, along with the faculty and staff that are assigned to each.” Amelia Comper, residential director of Hester, said the event is important for the community to remember because it can happen to anyone. “I think some [students] are not aware that this happened, because it was quite a while ago and some people weren’t even alive back then,” Comper said. “I think they kind of realize this was something that is possible and it can happen, so it makes them take fire safety a little more seriously.

Poverty: not just a city issue The staff editorial is the majority opinion of The Murray State News Editorial Board. Poverty is a universal problem; while it is more visible on a global scale, it is present in Murray as well. In 2015, all 193 member states of the United Nations aimed to end poverty and hunger by passing the Sustainable Development Goals. The aim of the agreed 17 goals was to improve the economic and social welfare of people and implement sustainable practices for the earth. The first goal states, “End poverty in all its forms everywhere,” and the second states, “End hunger, achieve food security and improve nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.” Some other goals include ensuring the availability of water, raising employment rates, reducing inequality in all forms and protecting rainforests. The Gates Foundation keeps an annual scorecard of progress toward the SDGs. The foundation recently showed that progress is being made, however the goal of ending poverty by 2030 is not on track. In terms of immediate care for human beings, it makes sense that poverty and hunger rank as the top two. The pair forms a constant cycle; poverty hardly exists without hunger and vice versa. A person that lives below the poverty line or suffers from chronic hunger struggles with many things that others take for granted. Poverty often correlates with issues such as increased infant mortality, chronic diseases and poorer nutrition

and growth. It’s also more difficult to get into and graduate from college. Additionally, impoverished people are at a higher risk for mental health issues. Kentucky has the fourth highest poverty rate in the United States, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. According to Data USA, 8,500 people were employed in Murray in 2017, and the median household income was $27,282. This is significantly lower than the national median of $60,336, but -- on a positive note -- the median income grew 11.4 percent from 2016 to 2017. In Murray, 35.1 percent of the population lives below the poverty line, which is much higher than the national average of 13.4 percent. The community offers a variety of support options to Murray residents, especially those who live below the poverty line. Needline is a philanthropic food bank that runs on food donations and volunteers. It offers a backpack program for children who won’t receive a meal after school and one day per month, food is given solely to senior citizens. They also provide toiletries, diapers and shower supplies. Soup for the Soul, another philanthropy in Murray, provides a freshly cooked dinner every weekday and also relies on volunteers and food donations. Twice a week in the summer, they offer lunch to children out in the county.

Olivia Robison, Program Manager and Volunteer Coordinator at Soup for the Soul, said Murray’s community is made up of countless nonprofits, churches, agencies and individuals who see the need and want to help. “I have spent time volunteering, interning, and now working with many of those living in poverty in Murray,” Robison said. “During this time I have learned about both the hardships faced and benefits offered for the population in this area.” Robison said the main hardship that she sees is the illusion of the “small town college” atmosphere that can easily mask the fact that poverty is an overwhelming issue. In Murray, the top two largest demographics living in poverty are females aged 18-24, followed by males in the same age group as of 2017. Often, people do not realize that many students around them come from impoverished families. Many students living in poverty would prefer that their peers do not know. Murray State provides great accommodations for students living below the poverty line. Career Services has a Career Closet that offers slightly used business professional clothing. The clothes are in all sizes, and students can keep the clothes free of charge. The Women’s Center recently opened a bra closet for students in need. Racers Helping Racers is a food pantry for students located in Blackburn Science Building.

Poverty rates are more likely to increase for younger age groups in college towns due to student loan debt. Student debt is a major issue nationally; according to Forbes, the total student loan debt in the U.S. is $1.5 trillion. Students in Murray are no exception. Although Murray State is one of the more affordable universities in the state and does a great job of helping students financially, the University continues to increase tuition and fees. The Board of Regents approved a 2.8 percent tuition and fee increase for the 2019-20 school year. Breaking it down, residential college costs increased at a rate of 2 percent, and meal plan costs rose by 2.63 percent. In-state tuition for students admitted after summer 2016 totals $9,084. Many students utilize campus counseling services due to finance-related stress. Perhaps a counseling program that specifically targets low-income students could be implemented by the university to assist with financial stress. Some students are forced to work multiple jobs while juggling school in order to afford their education. In general, there aren’t enough opportunities with federal student aid or work study. This is an issue that extends past the University and is applicable across the nation. Nonetheless, it is a substantial problem.

ROTC participate in Advance and Basic Camp Claire Smith Features Editor csmith110@murraystate.edu

Every U.S. Army Reserve Officer Training Corps cadet must go through Advanced Camp. The camp is designed to prepare cadets to become officers. Basic Camp introduces cadets to the Army and is geared toward freshman cadets and lateral entry cadets, who joined the ROTC program during their sophomore year. Both camps are hosted out of Fort Knox, Kentucky, and are attended by cadets from all over. ROTC Basic Camp takes place over the course of 31 days. Travis Tack took a semester off before returning to ROTC during his sophomore year. “The skills that you learn at camp, whether you’ve been introduced to them or not before prepare you for life as a soldier and a future army officer and I feel like those will stick with you for the rest of your life,” Tack said. Each cadet participates in a ruck march where they carry 35 to 40 pounds on their backs. The longest ruck march at Basic Camp

was six miles long. “You could tell at the end of that march, right when we were coming back to the barracks that the mood just shifted and you knew it was over,” Tack said. Basic Camp gives commissioned officers insight into the enlisted side of the military, something they otherwise wouldn’t get. Enlisted soldiers take an oath to join the military whereas commissioned soldiers are in an ROTC program at a university. “In a different perspective like a military academy or something you are seeing a lot more of the officers’ side whereas with ROTC you get a mix and it’s important because those relationships in the future are crucial,” Tack said. Advance Camp spans 37 days and offers a variety of different training programs for cadets. Carson Thomas is in his senior year and is hoping to join the branch infantry. “My biggest worry going into Advance Camp was definitely my confidence,” Thomas said. “Although it was my biggest worry I didn’t have a single issue with it.” At camp Thomas saw his confidence and ability to

Basic Camp is geared toward freshman cadets. work under pressure grow. “You spend so many days with people laying out in the woods, you know them having your back and you having theirs you can’t help but stay close with them,” Thomas said. There were 36 people in his platoon and he’ll talk to at least 10 of them daily. “There wasn’t a single person that I met, that was in my platoon that I wouldn’t

be perfectly fine working with,” Thomas said. Advance Camp is broken into four phases: reception and staging; integration; deployment and field training; and redeployment and reintegration. “It was during the PT test that I knew I had it a little bit more, I had a little bit more than I thought I could give and it kicked about the mile and a half mark of the two

miles,” Thomas said. Thomas achieved a perfect 300 on his physical fitness test. He said most people coming from school typically see their test scores go down. “If I can accomplish this minor goal right from the very beginning then (I’ll) let that high take me through the rest of camp,” Thomas said.
