You need a 3.8 GPA to get into the nursing program. The Wright State University College of Nursing and Health does not base admission on GPA rank. We look at a number of factors, including prerequisite course grades, HESI test scores, background checks, and interviews. There is a HUGE waiting list to get into the nursing program. There is NO waiting list for admission to our nursing program. Only a handful of students are accepted each year. We accept 200 students each year. Apply by October 23 for Spring Semester 2014 consideration. Applications received after the deadline are reviewed only as space permits. You won’t be able to graduate on time. After admission, the nursing program is six semesters or two full years (includes one summer). There aren’t any jobs available. A shortage of registered nurses is projected to spread across the country between 2009 and 2030.

Life in Color cancelled
Justin Boggs Staff Writer Boggs.59@Wright.edu
Despite an expected large crowd for Saturday’s Life in Color event at Wright State’s Nutter Center, the paint party was cancelled due to what officials said in a statement was “logistical and production related issues.” Life in Color Event Director Zach Samson refused to comment as to why the event was cancelled. Other Life in Color events scheduled around the United States in Pittsburgh, Spokane, Wash. and Eugene Ore. are still on as scheduled. Nutter Center Executive Director Jim Brown said the arena was not given any further explanation as to why Life in Color was cancelled.
“He (Samson) called and say some things weren’t working out for them,” Brown said. Brown said those who purchased a ticket would receive a refund. Refunds were made available and ticket holders can get their refunds at the point of purchase. Life in Color held an event at the Nutter Center on Feb. 18, 2012. The event, according to Brown, sold out the entire arena floor, which can fit up to 3,500 guests. Brown said the Nutter Center was expecting a similar crowd for this year’s event. “We are disappointed, obviously, we don’t like to lose events in general,” Brown said. “We anticipated it doing well again and unfortunately, it is not going to happen.” Brown said because the event
was cancelled with some notice, and both renters paid for a non-refundable deposit, WSU would not lose any funds. “If the event cancelled a day or two before, there could be other expenses,” Brown said. “We won’t make the revenue we anticipated. We would have made money off concessions and other things.” The Life in Color event was the second event this week cancelled at the Nutter Center. The first to be axed was yesterday’s Miami Valley’s Combined Federal Campaign KickOff. That event was cancelled due to the shut down of the United States federal government.

Don’t take your WSU cleaning crews for granted Brandon North Contributing Writer North.23@wright.edu
F
irst, a disclaimer is in order: I’ve personally done a fair amount of janitorial work. I’ve cleaned toilets, washed grimy handprints from windows and emptied huge trash cans full of old fast food bags and standing rainwater that absorbs every smell possible. So with those images in mind, let me soapbox a bit. I was walking into Dunbar Library recently when from behind me I heard a voice say ‘thank you’ to the person cleaning the glass doors—the same person I’d just passed as if she were merely part of the scenery (I don’t believe in
making children play the roles of ‘trees’ or some such in school plays, but that’s for another time). I caught up with the student who had thanked the cleaning crew member and then thanked her for doing what hadn’t even crossed my mind. But at that moment I also recognized that I too should be thanking our cleaning crews—as well as anyone who helps contribute to a welcoming environment at Wright State. After this experience, it hit me that I’d been missing out not only on being fully appreciative of those who keep WSU functioning, but also that I wasn’t completely appreciating myself. I had missed seeing that by acknowledging the significance
Dear Mandy
“Dear Mandy, I’ve had lustful thoughts about a co-worker... do I need to tell my girlfriend or just hope these feelings go away?“ Dear Conflicted, If it’s just lustful thoughts, get over it or get single. Why would you tell your girlfriend? What is she going to say to you? “Uh, thanks for telling me…?” This is something you need to keep to yourself, and if you’re really loyal to your girlfriend you’ll shoot the feelings down. Whether that means purposefully avoiding your coworker so you don’t see her perfect childbearing hips, so be it. How would you feel if your girlfriend came up to you said, “There’s this really hot guy at work…like seriously, rippling abs. I’m attracted to him, but I still love you.” NO, THANK YOU. Confessing something like that only adds unnecessary drama and insecurity to a perfectly good relationship. Keep your feelings to yourself, and take whatever measures you need to make the feelings stop. If it’s more than just lustful thoughts, you might need to reevaluate your relationship with your girlfriend.
of another person’s type of work, one can better see the importance of the type he is doing because other people become a larger part of the picture. So that’s what I’m doing here—sending a written thank you out to all the folks who keep our university functioning. I for one couldn’t obtain my education without having an environment that is conducive to it, and am thankful for it. Everyone has their own reasons or needs for doing any kind of work, but I hope more people can see that what matters is not so much what you can do, but rather what you do with what you can.

ike most everyone at Wright State, I’m not rich. I was a test tube baby, not a trust fund baby, and guess what that means? It means that I have to pay for things with United States approved currency. This won’t come as a surprise to many of you, because the majority of Wright State students have jobs, part or full time. Even so, there are many students here who are going to graduate with the loan sharks chilling under the boat, waiting for the right time to flop aboard and ruin your life (and your fishing trip). You gotta do what you gotta do. I’ve worked the gambit, and from my job experience
I can safely advise to stay away from anything retail. I worked at a movie rental store, which I adored, but when that inevitably fell at the all-powerful click of Netflix, I got a job at a large pet store cooperation. Fun, right? Wrong-o, mate. I would hear about the water temperature preference of goldfish and then be asked “What is this lump on my dog’s belly”? I think people confused “college student who spent two weeks learning how to train dogs” with dog whisperer/veterinarian/ consumer reporter extraordinaire. I also used to model bridal gowns at local galas, which is exactly as glamorous as it sounds (it’s not).

I encountered the scariest customers ever; Hawk-like mothers and girlfriends with their expectations almost as high as their noses. Now I’ve receded into the life of an on-campus office assistant. I love it. It’s exactly what I need after dealing with crazed consumers. So I would advise that if you’re in a job, whether it be food service, working in an office, retail, or stripping (no judgment here, folks) and you hate it, look around and find something else to hold you over until you get that elusive degree and know that one day you will have achieved something greater. Oh wait, I forgot. With this kind of job market, we’ll be lucky to even have the most menial of jobs. Better get your harpoons ready!

Construction on new classroom building to begin this week Leah Kelley News Editor Kelley.90@wright.edu
T
he new classroom building located between University Hall and University Blvd. will begin construction Oct. 11. The building will contain a math studio, a study skills center, a writing center, advising offices and ‘huddles’ for group work. It will also feature scale-up classrooms, which are designed to look more like restaurants than traditional classrooms, with group study tables to support teams of students working on group projects. Senior Facilities Planner Bradley Bubp stated that the new classrooms would encourage peer-to-peer interactions and group learning. “It is a reversal of the traditional way in which class materials are normally presented,” Bubp said. “The classrooms are all designed to be active learning rooms. This
is an educational pedagogy in which the students are given their lecture and reading assignments to be done on their own time and they come to the classroom prepared to work together in groups.” “This building is also very energy efficient and atmospherically friendly,” Bubp said. “All rainwater will be filtered through a rain garden before it enters the sewer system. There is efficient lighting. Everywhere you look, you will see evidence of best practices in designing a building today.” “A fence will be installed to block off the area for construction,” a campus-wide announcement read. Bubp stated that construction would cost a little over $19 million. The new classroom building will be completed in spring of 2015.

Wright Brothers Day seeks to bring innovation to campus
Event showcases businesses, organizations and emerging technologies Adam Ramsey Features Writer ramsey.55@wright.edu
H
omecoming Week took off with Wright Brothers Day, which was held in the Student Union Atrium on Monday, Oct. 7 from 11 a.m.-2 a.m. Wright Brothers Day consisted of a variety of businesses and organizations brought in to interact with the student body, including Calamityville, Living Laboratory and multiple smartphone applications. Spencer Rupp, a senior English major, said he liked Wright Brothers Day. “I’m enjoying it so far,” Rupp said. “I got a lot of cool things. I really liked the flight simulator and I think Calamityville is a pretty cool idea.” Speeches from the greatgrandniece of the Wright Brothers and a general from the Air Force Museum were presented, as well as a reading of the Governor’s resolution that declares Wright Brothers Day a state holiday. A “Wright Flyer simulation” put together by National Aviation Heritage Alliance (NAHA), free pizza and Wright Brothers impersonators were also included in the festivities. Jared Holloway, President of the Marketing Club/AMA, said that the event was intended to display the innovation of these organizations.

“We wanted to pair it with the Wright Brothers to kind of harbor off their innovative spirit, to go along with them and showcase all of these other innovations too,” said Holloway. Holloway said he believes that the event will have a positive impact on the attitudes of Wright State among students. “I would probably say at least half of [the businesses and organizations] are already somehow connected to Wright State,” said Holloway. “Wright State, to most students, doesn’t seem like a research school with top-notch innovation, so it shows them all that we can do and have done.” “I love that they made [Wright Brothers Day] a tradition,” said junior communication studies major Sallina Poole. “When you come here, it’s not one of the first things you think of...but then you learn about it and you realize how cool they are.” Vice President of Finance for the Marketing Club/AMA Natalee Doellman is also hoping for a change in student opinion. “I know that as a big commuter campus, a lot of people just come for classes and they leave,” said Doellman. “But I really want them, after they come to the event, to be more excited and see how they can grow in their own fields just as the Wright Brothers did.”

Homecoming Week offers variety of events
Hannah Hendrix Features Editor Hendrix.16@wright.edu
W
right State students and alumni alike can gather this week for Homecoming events including a cardboard boat race, a dance, a casino night, a chili cook-off and a tailgate event before the Homecoming game on Saturday. “The Cardboard Boat Race is a collaboration between the University Activities Board and Black Men on the Move,” said Jack Pence, assistant director for the Office of Student Activities . “Teams of 3 to 5 can sign up to build a boat, and UAB provides all the cardboard…and duct tape and scissors.” Pence said the Cardboard Boat Race has become a
Homecoming staple for Wright State. “It’s a fun, traditional event aside from the dance that has been going on for a while during Homecoming,” said Pence. The Cardboard Boat Race will be held in the Student Union Natatorium following boatbuilding in the Atrium beginning at 6 p.m. Following the race is Black Men on the Move’s pool party. “They’ll have different games and competitions that you do in the pool,” said Pence. Two major homecoming events are the Homecoming Dance from UAB and the Residential Community Association’s Casino Night. Both events begin at 8 p.m., with the dance in the Apollo Room and Casino Night in the Endeavor Room.
“This year the theme is decades—Dancing to the Decades,” said Pence. “UAB’s done some different things so students enter a ‘time warp’ on their way into the dance.” The dance will also feature music from different decades as well as a lot of “light technical illusions,” according to Pence. Pence said that decadethemed costumes were encouraged. “Come dressed up and ready to dance within your decade that you want or in regular homecoming clothes,” said Pence. This year’s Homecoming Court will also be announced at the dance. “In the past we’ve announced the court at the game,” said Pence. “Because the team WSU is playing couldn’t come
on Friday, we had to switch it around a little bit, which leaves Saturday being more about the Homecoming games.” At noon on Saturday, Alumni Relations will host a Club Football Tailgate in the parking lot outside the Rinzler Sports Complex. “We’re working [the Tailgate] into Homecoming as an annual event,” said Assistant Director of Alumni Relations Holly Gersbacher. “We’ll be doing heavy appetizers, and people who are of age will get two drink tickets with their admission.” There will also be televisions set up around the area so attendees can watch Saturday football, Gersbacher said. “Students can come in and pay at the door,” said Gersbacher. “It’s open to
students, although we’re definitely targeting alumni.” Student tickets to the event are $7. Jack Pence also weighed in on the tailgate. “ It’s something that [the Alumni Association] wants to try to revolutionize to make it more of a traditional Homecoming tailgate where it really is friendly to families and alumni and it gives them an opportunity to get them to the games,” said Pence. “Where we collaborate is with the festival, the Chili Cook-Off, which happens between the football game and the soccer game.” The Chili Cook-off will be held from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the Rinzler Sports Complex. Students, faculty and staff can “make their chili and debut it there,” said Pence.

Tunnel of Oppression returns to WSU
John Hamilton Contributing Writer Hamilton.107@wright.edu
W
right State students were given the chance to see oppression through the eyes of those affected by it last week in the Tunnel of Oppression. Counseling and Wellness Services teamed up with Residence Life & Housing to hold the event in the Student Union. The annual event was designed to bring Wright State students’ attention to acts of oppression and prejudice that continue to occur in America today, including ongoing racism, sexism, homophobia and other types of discrimination. The Wright State website said the following about the event: “Viewers proceed at their own pace as they walk through the interactive experience, which features video clips, audio segments, newspaper articles, posters and live actors.” Assistant Director of Residence Life & Housing Daniel Schraeder helped to organize the tunnel. “We worked very closely with counseling and wellness,” said
Schraeder. “They’re the ones who helped develop the tunnel. We do hope to show students and help them get a better idea of modern day oppression going on and the history of it.” Some students visited the event to reaffirm ideals that they already held. “I keep up with the news and this kind of reinforced what I already knew,” said sophomore Dan Morrison. Sophomore Katie Wegner had similar thoughts. “It was very informative and I do think students should visit events like this to get an idea of what’s going on in America and hopefully make it better.” Freshman Ellen Sherup said that the event was “eye opening.” “I found it very surreal…and it gave me the chills. It’s crazy how even things you don’t think about are going on [and] how people are affected by it,” said Sherup. Many students who had previously attended the event returned to see if the event had evolved. “I went through it once before as a freshman for a UVC class and so I wanted to come back to see if anything had changed,” said senior Jennifer Benson. “It did cover a few more subjects and it was still
informative.” “This definitely opened my eyes up a lot more about what’s going on,” said sophomore
Vanessa Bradley. “I didn’t think it was going to cover as wide a subject as it did. I didn’t even know there was as much going

undreds of skin-clad students wove through campus in the brisk October air wearing swimming trunks, sports bras, underwear and even speedos at Wright State University’s 1st annual Nearly Naked Mile. The run began between the Student Union and Hamilton Hall at 11 a.m., and from there the runners jogged around sidewalks, beneath Dunbar Library and through the heart of WSU’s campus. The mile concluded where it began at the Union, with pizza, music and “I Ran Nearly Naked” participation shirts inside. WSU junior Peter Cutler described his choice of attire for the event. “I heard it was called the 8

‘Nearly Naked Mile’, and I was looking at it going ‘Alright, I have a couple options here,’” said Cutler. “I could go in a short pair of shorts, or I could go hard and wear something that’s actually nearly naked. So a flesh-colored banana hammock was a good choice.” Students did not just run for the fun and freedom of it: Goodwill Easter Seals Miami Valley was there to accept donations of shirts, pants, shorts and shoes throughout. “I wasn’t sure whether I wanted to run it fast or just take it easy,” said Cody Johnson, a freshman and participant. But he said the competition got the best of him. Another runner, WSU junior Erica Smith said, “The run was good, and the weather was nice, not too hot. It was a little humid, but still fine. I’d do this again, though. It was fun, and for a good cause.” www.theguardianonline.com

Club Football:Raiders ride running game past Cougars Andrew Smith Sports Editor Smith.1026@wright.edu
S
tanding on a nearly vacant field at Rinzler Athletic Complex, Wright State running back Nick Blower was asked to characterize the his team’s ability to run the ball at will against Southern IllinoisEdwardsville. “Pretty fun,” Blower said with a grin. The Raiders (2-3) made Saturday’s 30-14 win over the Cougars a party- WSU was the host and SIUE were its unwelcome guests. WSU leaned on a run-heavy game plan, showcasing its bevy of running backs and used misdirection and effective blocking techniques to keep SIUE on guard all afternoon. “We installed a couple of new formations during the last couple of weeks and we really wanted to take advantage of them,” head coach Anthony Van Horn said. “It worked, so, it was good.” The Raiders scored the game’s first points on a quarterback sneak by Nate Bollheimer on 4th and goal to give WSU a 7-0 lead. Bollheimer added a passing touchdown in the second quarter that increased the Raiders lead to 13-0. Bollheimer, who handed off and pitched the ball more than he threw it, was more than happy to watch his teammates take over on offense. “Just seeing the team score points is a big deal for us. I will gladly hand it off and I will gladly throw it,” Bollheimer said. “We have a lot of good
running backs that do their jobs well.” In addition to controlling the clock and the line of scrimmage on offense, WSU held its own on defense. Saturday’s clash with SIUE was a physical one, with players from both teams needing to be helped off the field. According to free safety Michael Skipper, a physical style of play is just how the Raiders like it.
“That’s what we worked on in practice. We wanted to hit heads. That’s how we want Wright State football to be, is physical,” said Skipper, who forced an interception in the SIUE end zone in the 3rd quarter. “We wanted to set the tone early. They (SIUE) were beating us on the outside on passes, so we made some adjustments and it was over at halftime.” For all the success the
Raiders had against the Cougars- and they had plentytheir execution was far from perfect. WSU committed four turnovers on offense, including a fumble by Blower and an interception by Bollheimer in the second half, and allowed several big plays on defense. Those miscues will be on the mind of the rest of the Raiders, including Van Horn, going into the game against Oakland on Saturday.
Raiders’ running back Nick Blower finds one of several openings against the Cougars defense during WSU’s 30-14 win over SIUE Saturday. Blower finished with 203 yards on 21 carries and was named National Club Football Association Offensive Player of the Week.

he Wright State women’s soccer squad withstood a 45-minute lightning delay to defeat new Horizon League foe Oakland 2-1 Saturday afternoon to improve to 2-0 in league play. WSU goalkeeper Brooke McCurdy scored in the 13th minute and the Raiders added a goal in the 65th that went of an Oakland defender. WSU coach Patrick Ferguson said he might use Wednesday’s nonconference contest as a way to rest regulars and get some
players off the bench for more playing time. McCurdy’s goal gave the Raiders a 1-0 lead as it came from 70 yards out on a restart. It was McCurdy’s first collegiate goal that counted as she had a goal earlier in the season waved off. “I mean it is just so dangerous, not just in the women’s game, to have a keeper that can hit the ball like that,” Ferguson said. “We play teams play across the country and she is in on everyone’s scouting report that, ‘you have to be aware of their goalkeeper.’” For McCurdy, her goal is to

boot the ball deep and hope that a teammate gets a head on the ball. But without any traffic in the net, she was free to kick the ball into the net on just one hop. “It was mainly luck, at that distance the goalkeeper makes a mistake and it goes in the net,” McCurdy said. Despite having a 1-0 lead, the Raiders struggled in the first half with McCurdy notching the only shot for WSU before halftime. Then the rain came, and the slippery turf caused WSU defender Liz Soto to fall, allowing Kyla Kellerman an open look at the net to knot @wsuguardian
the game at 1-1. The rain picked up and with lightning in the area, referees ordered players to the locker rooms and fans out of the stands in the 61st minute. During the delay, Ferguson implored his players to focus their efforts. “I kind of challenged the players that you don’t have to be perfect, just have to be persistent,” Ferguson said. “We have to keep going, we’re not going to win or lose this game because there is a major skill difference, we’re going to win or lose because of how much we invested in the game.” Ferguson’s pep talk

“We dedicated a lot of time to trying to make sure that… with the formations that we installed, there is a lot of misdirection and complicated handoffs. So that’s one of things that we have to get down,” Van Horn said. “We’re going to work on how to carry the ball. We’re still not exactly where I’d like this team to be, but putting 30 points on the board…it made me feel a lot better.”

resonated in the locker room as the Raiders broke the 1-1 stalemate. “We talked about it and we came back out after the delay and came together,” McCurdy said. The Raiders came out of the delay focused and aggressive. Three minutes after the delay concluded, WSU midfielder Kalee Thompson’s corner kick bounced off of a Grizzlies defender and gave the Raiders a 2-1 lead. McCurdy preserved the win with a diving stop in the 88th minute off a shot from Serena San Cartier. October 9, 2013
