Students from all over the world got a taste of different cultures at the International Food Festival on Saturday, March 1 in the atrium of Visser Hall. The event featured stu-

dent cuisine from over a doz-en different countries, as well as dance and music perfor-mances throughout the day.

“It’s been really awesome seeing all of the cultures that are in Emporia coming to-gether for this,” said Shelby Bisnett, senior Spanish major

and Spanish Club member. The food festival, which is

coordinated by the Office of International Education, has been taking place in the atrium of Visser Hall for the last 27 years. It saw higher numbers of both student turnout and involvement from student or-

ganizations. The event used to take place in the fall, but was moved to the spring in 2011.

Bisnett said there was “definitely a greater variety of food” than she had expected and that the event was much

The work group in charge of offering revisions to the Kansas Board of Regents’ so-cial media policy met at Em-poria State Feb. 28 to continue talks about how to improve the policy and discuss their draft for the revision.

Richard Muma, associate

vice president for academic affairs for Wichita State and member of the work group, said KBOR was prompted to revise the policy they submit-ted last December after it met widespread negative opinion.

“The policy had been ap-proved without any input from (university) faculty or staff,” Muma said.

This was the work group’s

third meeting regarding the policy. It is composed of two representatives from each of the six regent schools – one faculty representative and one staff representative – and one representative from the University of Kansas Medical Center.

Julia Keen, faculty senate president at Kansas State and member of the work group,

said organizing the revision process was the focus of their first meeting on Jan. 24.

“(In) the second meeting, we started to talk about what was needed in the new poli-cy,” Keen said.

During the meeting, the group paid close attention to the language used in the pol-icy in order to cut down on vagueness and remove sen-

tences in which the tone was too negative.

“We wanted to set a tone that specifically acknowledg-es First Amendment rights – the right to speak. That right is not changed because we do it through social media,” said Kevin Johnson, general coun-

As campus was coated with yet another fresh blanket of snow over the weekend, some students were still dealing with the repercussions from the first big snowstorm of the year on Feb. 4.

“I was walking through the parking lot in front of the sci-ence halls. I slipped and tried to grab onto the car,” said Lind-sey Frazer, sophomore sociol-ogy major. “I slipped again and that’s when I hit my head on the car.”

Frazer’s fall took place be-fore her 9 a.m. class Feb. 4, but classes weren’t called off until 12 p.m. that day. At first, Frazer said thought she was fine, but it wasn’t until she started having trouble focusing in class that she realized she needed to go to

Emporia State is the only university in the nation that offers a four-year degree in engraving, and this semester, students enrolled in engraving classes got a new classroom.

The project to create a new engraving room began in the summer of 2013 and was completed over winter break. While ESU paid for some of the project, most of the fund-ing for the renovation came from Glendo Corporation, an

Emporia-based engraving and tool manufacturing company.

Engraving can be in the form of printmaking, or more decorative on guns or knives or any type of surface, and can be on metal, hard plastic or even glass.

Molly Day, senior engrav-ing and graphic design major, said engraving and metals classes used to share the same room.

“It was a mess,” Day said. “When we did our work we were pushed up against one wall in the room and when-ever the teacher was doing examples we would have to come huddle around him in a little corner and it was cramped so you couldn’t re-ally see it very well. It was just a pain.”

The new classroom now

has personal microscopes and individual work stations. While the instructor is work-ing on examples, a video of what he or she is doing shows up on monitors that are at each work station.

“The new room is very helpful now since we all have our own microscope and our own set-up to work at,” said Erin Eidman, senior engrav-ing and printmaking major.

Eidman said the room has new tools, as well as a sharp-ener.

Along with the new en-graving room, they made im-provements to the office on the main floor in King Hall and raised money to add new tablets to the Mac room.

sel for ESU and co-chair of the work group. “We didn’t want to make it a threaten-ing or intimidating policy. We wanted to make it a re-minder to use social media responsibly.”

In the policy draft, the group defined social media as “any facility for online publication and commen-tary.” The draft for comment gives guidelines as to what proper use of social media looks like and serves as a re-minder to faculty and staff to use it responsibly.

The goal of Friday’s meet-ing was to finalize a revised draft of the policy to pres-ent to KBOR. The group will bring the policy to KBOR on April 16, after they have re-ceived comments from the public about the revision.

The next meeting is April 4. The work group will re-visit the comments that fac-ulty, students and staff from the regent schools posted and review the draft based on the comments they re-ceived.

To comment or view the draft of the work group’s re-vised policy, visit emporia.edu/socialmediapolicy.

Josh Hamlin, sales man-ager and special coordinator for Glendo, said the goal of the corporation was to help ESU in giving engraving stu-dents their own space and to do this with the best quality they could.

Anyone at ESU can enroll in an engraving class. Cur-rently there are only six en-graving majors, but James Ehlers, associate professor of engraving, said that is a misleading indicator of how many people enroll in those courses.

“I came here just as a an art major and then my advisor talked to me about engrav-ing and thought it would be something I was interested in and it was,” Eidman said. “It’s very unique and that was one thing that drew me to it.”

Soon, students will be able receive stress relieving mas-sages at the Student Wellness Center.

Starting March 9, Brenda Barrett, a nationally accredited massage therapist, will begin providing massage therapy services at Emporia State.

Barrett is a native of Empo-ria. She attended Butler Com-munity College, where she earned her massage therapist accreditation in December 2005. She moved to Wichita in 2007, where she managed her own massage business part time through a chiropractor’s office.

She moved back to Empo-ria in 2011 and ran her business through her home. Before Bar-rett was a massage therapist, she worked for the Municipal Court in Emporia.

Barrett said there are differ-ent massages to choose from.

“Swedish massages are more superficial and focuses on the top of the skin. They have a flow to them,” Barrett said. “Deep tissue massages are more for getting the knots out and has more of a pur-pose.”

Though Barrett will offer the massage service on cam-pus, she is not employed by the university. The Student Well-ness Center has a contractual agreement with Barrett, allow-ing her to provide her services.

Barrett is in the Student Wellness Center on Thursday nights. People can make an appointment for a massage through the Wellness Center. Massages cost $30 for 30 min-utes and $40 for an hour. Bar-rett only accepts cash.

Mary McDaniel, assistant director of health services and outreach for the Student Well-

ness Center, said requests for a massage therapist came in from time to time in the past.

“We wanted to start small until we see how many stu-dents and staff will utilize the service,” she said. “We didn’t want to ask Brenda to commit a whole lot of time when we don’t really know what the re-sponse will be yet.”

Tyler Sheldon, senior Eng-lish major, said students, fac-ulty and staff can easily accu-mulate a lot of stress.

“I think massage therapy is a good answer to that,” Shel-don said. “It sounds fantastic.”

Barrett said students don’t have to worry about being ex-posed during the massage. She said she will assist anyone to feel comfortable.

To make an appointment with Barrett, visit the Student Wellness Center, Southeast Morse Hall, room 250, or call 620-341-5222.

In the Feb. 27 issue of The Bulletin, the article entitled “Fra-ternity, sorority host Mr. ESU Competition” stated that Plumb Place, 224 E 6th Ave., is “a shelter for women who have en-countered abuse.” Plumb Place says in its mission statement that it “provides temporary Emergency Shelter and longer term Transitional Housing services to women 18 and over” for a variety of reasons that lead to homelessness, not just abuse.

the hospital.“My head still hurt. I didn’t

really think anything was wrong,” Frazer said. “But then it hurt for a week after that, so I went to the doctor. They were like, ‘Yeah, you have a concus-sion. You probably should have come in when it happened.’”

Even though Emporia State took the amount of snowfall and the possibility of accidents into consideration and at-tempted to clear walking paths for students, campus remained open for classes until the after-noon that day, when many stu-dents had already arrived for morning classes.

“I heard a lot of people fell, and I was just walking through the parking lot. I wasn’t going fast or anything,” Frazer said. “Then, on the way back out of class I had to go through the same parking lot. I even took a different path and I fell again.”

In addition to Frazer’s con-cussion, six cars were stuck in the snow and received assis-tance from Police and Safety to get them out.

Frazer wasn’t the only one to take a spill on campus and receive an injury due to ice, though. Kelseigh Figgs, sopho-more fine arts major, slipped while walking by Wooster Lake toward the dining hall.

“I sprained my wrist and elbow,” Figgs said. “I just couldn’t move my hand.”

Over a two-day timespan from Feb. 4-5, campus was blanketed by around 8 inches of snow, according to KVOE. The temperatures throughout the rest of the week warmed the ice enough for it to melt, but it refroze at night. The road conditions were still poor for classes on Monday, Feb. 10,

nearly a week after the origi-nal storm, when Figgs took her fall.

“There was this really thin layer of black ice that you couldn’t see at all,” Figgs said. “We had avoided ice the whole time, and this one you can’t see I just fell on and just flat out landed (on my wrist).”

Administration handled the second, much smaller storm over this past weekend with extreme caution. A campus alert was sent out early Satur-day evening to inform com-muters that the roads would not be safe, and that they should prepare for them by leaving early for class. It also

informed students about a fi-nal call for class cancellations being made by 6 a.m. Monday morning, March 3.

“Even though the heavier snow didn’t start to fall until Saturday evening, we started to clear the sidewalks and parking areas on Saturday,” said Carrie Boettcher, public service director. “Those crews even worked through the night.”

Mark Runge, director of facilities, also posted an an-nouncement in BuzzIn to help inform all students about the possibly dangerous conditions that were expected as of Mon-day evening.

beverages, such as empana-das, tres leches cake and non-alcoholic sangrias were sold at the Spanish Club’s booth. Bisnett said most of the food was made by Spanish Club members, but the empanadas were donated by community volunteers.

The French Club had quiche, coconut biscuits and sweet crêpes available for sale at their booth. Blanche Gelis, junior communication ma-jor and international student from France, helped make the crêpes.

She said sweet crêpes are made from a thin pancake-like

batter made with wheat flour and are served with toppings such as fruit, whipped cream or Nutella.

Gelis said she particularly enjoyed the Chinese and Ara-bic food at the festival.

“I love the dance show and the music,” Gelis said.

Yano said the music and seeing all the different cultures coming together were her fa-vorite parts of the festival.

Laraib Abid, senior sociol-

ogy major and international student from Pakistan, and Sumaira Bibi, junior sociology major and international stu-dent from Pakistan, sold sevi-yan, a dessert dish.

Abid said the dish is served warm and is made from “rice noodles, milk, sugar, almonds, pistachios and dried fruits like raisins.”

Ruth Campos, senior li-brary and information sci-ences major, sold homemade pork and chicken tamales at the festival. Campos said she made the tamales the night before the event.

“It’s really nice to be able to see all the culture here,” Cam-pos said.

Campos said her favorite part of the festival was the dance performances.

Link between art, psychology explained

How does one evaluate the paintings of a person on trial for murder?

This question was ad-dressed by Dave Gussak, a professional art therapist and Emporia State alumnus, dur-

ing a presentation called “Art On Trial,” on March 3 in Webb Hall.

Gussak talked about the various methods for evalu-ating art that do not involve interpretation, but pointing out themes that are common among groups of people. He made a distinction between

looking at the artwork for its formal aspects rather than symbolic content.

“We know how this murder was committed, this wasn’t a detective game,” Gussak said. “We need to be able to look at the drawings as a whole and symbolically determine if (the accused) has a mental illness.”

In the lecture, Gussak ex-plained how he came to work on a case involving a death row client. He received the client’s art for analysis, and eventu-ally testified in court about his conclusions. Gussak originally only received a CD containing pictures of the art work. He re-ceived no information on the

client, nor was he informed of previous conclusions about that person’s mental state.

“I knew that this person had murdered somebody, but I didn’t know much more than that,” Gussak said.

Gussak repeatedly said during the lecture that his job hadn’t been to interpret the art so much as to evaluate the formal elements. That theme struck home with Brandon Schrader, freshman psychol-ogy major.

“I found out that art ther-apy is significantly more of a science than I had once really thought it was, and that it’s based on evidence more so than just the perception of the art,” Schrader said.

What stood out to Ashlea Chapman, senior biology ma-jor, during the presentation was how Gussak had tried not to evaluate the person, but the art itself.

“(Gussak) still promoted this guy as a fabulous artist,” Chapman said. “He didn’t ever demean his artwork in any way, because it was still all, you know, artwork in every sense.”

Gussak called his present-ing at ESU “fortuitous.” He said Ken Weaver, dean of the Teachers College, had asked the School of Library and In-formation Management to consider him for the Teachers College Lecture Series.

Gussak is chair of the de-partment of art education at Florida State and the clinical coordinator of its art therapy program. His master’s degree is in art therapy, and he ob-tained his doctorate from ESU.

Most students at Emporia State know that we have a pool, but they actually use the Student Recreation Center.

Not many students have ever actually seen our pool. It isn’t much to look at. It is 50 years old and at the end of its life span. It barely meets draining compliance regula-tions and is so old that when it breaks down, parts have to be custom-made to fix it. The pool isn’t even in the same building as our rec center. It really isn’t any surprise that most students don’t use the pool.

The rec center, on the other hand, was last renovated in 2002. Most students not only know about it, but also make full use of the free services that it provides. The equipment is nice and in good condition,

but there simply isn’t enough to go around.

The ESU Campus Master Plan may include a brand new pool as an addition to the current rec center, but what about the recreation center that is actually being used? Before the university gets a new pool, it needs to take into account what would currently be more beneficial to the students.

Although there are about eight treadmills in the rec center, it seems two or three are always out of order or turned off. There are often lines of students yearning to use the basketball courts. Stu-dents wanting to dance or box have to vie for the same room, which is always booked up, due to its popularity. The rec center is so overcrowded that some students have begun

paying for memberships at gyms off-campus just to have equipment that they know will be available.

We appreciate the thought that goes into the idea of cre-ating a new and improved pool, since ours is outdated. We know we will gain from such a venture, but we think we would gain more from expanding the rec center first. Students need a bigger, better and safer pool. But we don’t need a pool as much as we need more space to exercise in and more equipment to use.

The cost of building what we need now will be marginal in comparison to waiting and spending a huge sum on a new pool. Upgrading first to a bigger recreation facility with more equipment to go around would make more sense.

THE BULLETIN

Internet Issues Being Remedied

From the Highlands to the Plains

Will Work for Internships

As I read Westin Brown’s opinion article about the frus-tration of students with wire-less connectivity in the resi-dence halls, I would have to say I concurred with most of it. Students should not have to walk the halls looking for a strong wireless signal or log in three times before getting a con-nection. And while our IT staff may not experience those frus-trations directly, such a level of service falls significantly short of what we in IT strive to provide to our students. The great news is that a project to prevent / remedy these kinds of issues will finally be realized within days of this response. Information Technology has been working with Residence Life for many months to upgrade the wireless network in Towers - a project that will finally be completed perhaps

as early as spring break. With respect to the specific

concerns raised, I would offer that when the last wireless network upgrade occurred, the average number of wireless devices per student was less than one – now, the average is more than two (laptop, tablet, phone, etc) – growth that has occurred rather rapidly. Regarding the difficulties with Windows 8, initial versions that were released last fall caused problems for some stu-dents which our network team worked quickly to resolve. When Microsoft released its latest update, it chose to remove support for certain security protocols, essentially forcing the replacement of dozens of access points. Fortu-nately, we had been planning for an upgrade. Unfortunately, it did not come soon enough. Throughout those challenges, our Help Desk has contin-ued to do its best to resolve all

issues, helping students get connected at the beginning of the school year, providing assistance to configure special devices like gaming systems, and when the most recent issue with Windows 8 occurred, pro-vided ethernet cables to stu-dents free of charge for those that need them.

I certainly understand the concerns and I’m hopeful that within the next few weeks, stu-dents in the Towers will have a much better experience. Morse Hall poses different challenges which we will continue to attempt to address. The staff in Information Technology con-tinually strives to provide the best technology experience for all of our students to live and learn at ESU, and we try (and usually don’t) drop the ball. If you, or any of your fellow stu-dents have concerns related to how we can enhance our tech-nology services, I’m always happy to meet with you.

Emporia State has little to no opportunities to offer stu-dents seeking internships.

Actually, I take that back. If you’re here to study edu-

cation, then you have oppor-tunities. ESU works closely with schools nearby to ensure student teachers have options, and can easily find a teaching job following graduation.

This is a good thing. I have teacher friends who have taken advantage of this, and I’m happy for them.

If you’re not going into teaching, however, you won’t get any such treatment. I’m hoping to go into publishing, and there are zero connections that ESU can offer me toward an internship. I can work minimally on campus – on the newspaper (obviously) and for Flint Hills Review or Quivira, but there isn’t any way to find an off-campus internship.

One of my friends, a radio broadcasting student, was able to pick from a list, interview

“Every line of strength in American history is one colored in Scottish blood.”

When President Woodrow Wilson delivered these words, he was speaking an unques-tionable axiom that remains prevalent today. Scottish-Amer-icans are an essential part of our society and they permeate numerous aspects of our lives so much that we underesti-mate how much Scottish influ-ence exists. Maintaining such heritage exists in a variety of forms such as Scottish and St. Andrews societies. Scots people celebrate Tartan Day on April 6th, which honors the Decla-ration of Arbroath and people wear traditional kilts and clan tartans. Burns Suppers held ev-ery January honor the memory of the Bard, Robert Burns, and 18th century Scottish poet who wrote and chronicled hundreds of poems that have become landmarks in Scottish literature, such as Auld Lang Syne.

Highland Games and Scot-

tish festival are arguably the most recognizable aspect of Scottish culture. Athletic events and a shared community of Scottish clans exhibit Scottish heritage and engages the pub-lic in an educational and enter-taining fashion. Scottish clan organizations bring people of Scottish ancestry together, by way of researching their family history and Scottish connection.

How does this pertain to Emporia State University? Does having a Scottish society and hosting a Highland game rep-resent to whole of the heritage within Kansas? One answer lies with the community and individuals. The way to con-nect and learn about one’s Scot-tish ancestry is through genea-logical research. Sometimes we recognize Scottish names, but making the connections with names is only the beginning.

For many years, I barely ac-knowledged the background of my middle name, McLane. However, after developing a strong interest in Scottish clan heritage and history, I learned through my great-grandfather

George McLane that I was re-lated to the MacLeans of Du-art, a clan located on the Isle of Mull in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. Realizing that I pos-sessed Scottish ancestry, it only increased my love of learning all things Scottish- propelling me to study at the University of St. Andrews. I’m proud to wear my kilt and when people ask me about my Scottish roots, I’m always more than happy to tell them! Great numbers of people possess Scottish ancestry and with the right assistance in re-searching their genealogy and clan heritage, they can dive into a rich cultural landscape.

Perhaps you’re related to Clan Anderson, Ferguson, Armstrong or Sutherland? If your surnames are Douglass, Clark, Cockburn, MacDonald, Johnston, Ramsay, Gordon, Wallace, or among the many different names recognized by the Scottish government, you could indeed have ancestral connections. Scottish blood could be flowing through your veins and you can discover what it has to teach you

and be placed within days because Johnson County Com-munity College has a depart-ment dedicated to getting stu-dents into relevant internships. Another friend goes to Wichita State and is applying for uni-versity-sponsored summer internships in their field of criminal justice. Two students in completely different fields are able to work with their universities to get relevant and educational experience.

The most that I can do is keep an eye on the tables that crop up in the main hall of the Memorial Union. If those yield nothing, I’ll have to go online – which I have, frequently – and

the results there are either out of state or not flexible enough to give me real experience while still attending school. That real-world experience can be the deciding factor in whether I get a job in the field I want or not.

Our university is a “teach-er’s college,” but non-teaching majors are being thrown aside without school-sponsored opportunities to work in the field of their choosing. ESU should have departments that are working with local and state-wide businesses to give all students the same oppor-tunities that education majors already have.

‘Boeing Boeing’ makes laughs

The Emporia State Theatre Department’s production of an English language version of Boeing Boeing by Marc Camo-letti’s premiered last night in the Karl C. Bruder Theatre.

Theresa Mitchell, professor of theater and production man-ager of “Boeing Boeing,” said she would describe “Boeing Boeing” as a farcical romantic comedy.

“I really like how the story is structured for it to all fall apart but all of the characters are so in sync,” said Brandon Jensen, junior theater major, who plays Bernard. “One door closes and another opens.”

The comedic timing and re-

actions between characters has become very entertaining to the cast and crew. Mitchell said much of the comedy in the play is in the characters’ reactions.

“The pay-off, the laugh is the best part,” Mitch-ell said. “It’s a moment of discovery for the character. It’s watching how the characters respond to each other.”

Mitchell said the training that student actors receive by performing a farce is unlike other genres of theater in that comedic timing is key, similar to that of doing improv or stand up comedy.

“About half of the character reactions are punchlines,” Jen-sen said.

Lisa Prater, junior theater, who plays Gloria in “Boe-

ing Boeing,” said students should come see the play if they like com-edy.

“It’s a laugh a minute,” she said.

Kylie Geiman, junior sec-ondary education and theater major, who plays Gabriella, said dress rehearsal has been her fa-vorite part of putting together the play.

“Dress rehearsal - where it all starts to come together - is when it gets really fun,” Geiman said.

Mitchell said a committee of student representatives and theatre faculty choose the plays and musicals that the theatre department puts on.

“We ask theater students what they would like to see as well,” Mitchell said.

Mitchell said the depart-ment tries to do a production of at least one farcical play every semester and that students who enjoy farcical comedies such as “Boeing Boeing” will also enjoy the upcoming summer theater production of Douglas Hughes’ “Too Many Cooks.”

The play will be showing every night at 7:30 p.m. through Saturday, March 8. Admission is $5 for students with student ID, $10 for adults and $9 for se-nior citizens.

WICHITA (AP) — A federal judge handed a key legal victory Wednesday to landowners bat-tling a Nebraska gas firm in a lawsuit over the condemnation of more than 9,100 acres spanning three counties in south-central Kansas.

U.S. District Judge Monti Belot ruled Northern Natural Gas lost its ownership interest in gas seep-ing from an underground storage facility. The judge ruled the com-pany must pay landowners “just compensation” for the value of any storage gas and native gas that lies underneath their land in the condemnation proceedings now underway.

The ruling on the ownership rights issue is the latest legal turn in a decades-old legal fight stemming from gas seeping from the Cun-ningham Storage Field in Kansas.

Northern did not immediately return a phone message left at its offices seeking comment on the ruling.

More than 173 property own-ers hold some interest in the more than 40 tracts — spanning Pratt, Kingman and Reno counties — at issue in the federal lawsuit. North-ern is using the power of eminent domain to take the property from unwilling sellers.

Northern filed the condem-nation lawsuit in a move to stop drilling by third-party natural gas producers, which the company contends have been essentially siphoning off their stored gas sup-plies by changing the geological pressure. Northern argued the drilling sucked gas from what had been a stabilized storage field.

The company also wants to get underground storage rights on the condemned property and plans to drill observation wells on that property to check for migration of gas.

Still left at issue in the litiga-tion is how much Northern will have to pay the drilling compa-nies who put in the gas wells, the landowners who get royalties off those wells and other landowners whose property values would be diminished by the loss of the min-eral rights.

The Chinese Student and Scholars Association of Em-poria State celebrated the Lu-nar New Year a little late this year with a Gala on Friday, Feb. 28 in Albert Taylor Hall.

The Chinese New Year fell on Jan. 31. Shan Zhong, junior accounting major and president of CSSA, said the celebration really began Feb. 2 for Chinese students.

“This (event was) pushed back one month because there is a lot of events (at ESU),” Zhong said.

This celebration is an an-cient one, deeply rooted in Chinese history and culture.

“There is a monster called ‘nyan,’ which means ‘year’ in China,” Zhong said. “Every year at this time, the monster will come to the village and they think that they have to get everybody together to de-fend (against) this monster.”

The Gala consisted of nine

performances by Chinese ESU students, a Chinese church from Wichita and members of both Sigma Phi Theta and Phi Delta Theta fraternities. The acts were varied, rang-ing from songs on traditional stringed instruments, to mod-ern Chinese love songs to a presentation on calligraphy. The group of fraternity mem-bers was featured in an origi-nal dance.

“I liked the traditional in-strument and the dance by Phi Delta Theta,” said Linzi Hu, senior psychology major.

One of the musicians, Liu Li, graduate music educa-tion student, talked about the zither, played by her friend Yi Guo, graduate music educa-tion student.

“It has a long history,” Li said. “In China it’s a very no-ble instrument.”

The Lunar New year is an important holiday for the Chinese, and is one of the few times that families in China can get together.

“Today in China, most people travel to the big city for work…but during this festival, everyone can go home,” Zhong said. “This the only seven-day holiday they can celebrate with family, so it’s important for everybody.”

The event lasted about an hour and a half, and filled most of Albert Taylor Hall.

Erin Fuchs, junior business administration major, said she liked the calligraphy pre-sentation.

“It was actually really cool to see the different culture… I think if American students came, it would help them see a little bit into different cul-tures,” Fuchs said.

As the celebration wound down, the two hostesses in-terjected upbeat blessings be-tween acts.

“A new year - always may peace and love fill your heart, beauty fill your world, and joy fill your days,” said Jia-peng Huang, junior account-ing major.

What if all those hours of hard work in the gym and mindful food choices were all for nothing? What if you could engulf yourself with special wraps and skip the nonsense of diet and exer-cise?

Enter body wraps. The protocol includes

tightly wrapping areas of one’s body with hot bandag-es (think ACE bandages for injuries), add in some miner-als, a sauna and maybe some light exercise and reap the rewards.

Of course, there is more than one type of body wrap. They can moisturize the skin, detoxify your body, slim cer-tain body parts and even re-move cellulite.

Sounds good. Let’s all go get wrapped.

As most would think, there is little evidence to support any of the claims of body wraps – but who needs evidence when everyone is doing it?

Skinny Wraps, for exam-ple, are multi-level market-ing businesses, like Advocare and Mary Kay. Multi-level marketing businesses allow anyone to sell a product. The low level of entry is bad for the consumer, as you end up buying products mostly from individuals who have no idea what they’re talking about. They can’t tell you what’s in

their supplements or magical wraps. All they know is that it “works.” Call me crazy, but I’d like a little more evidence than that.

Let’s look at the claims of various body wraps. They claim to remove toxins. Our bodies have a liver and kid-neys to rid the body of toxins. A clay-based mask may help with acne, but that’s a far cry from “removing toxins.”

They claim to help you lose weight. If you see be-fore and after photos, there are real changes, but any improvement will only be transient. Compression with an increase in body tempera-ture will result in water loss. This will give the illusion of a slimmer look, but once you rehydrate, the weight and original look will return.

Recently, I heard the anal-ogy that these wraps are sim-ilar to a spray tan. They can be used, as a quick fix, but we all know they don’t last. Losing water weight is not the same as losing fat mass. The negative health conse-quences of too much fat are still relevant.

If you want to lose a few inches for a day or two, feel free to drop some cash on body wraps. If you want to improve your physique and health for good, invest in good ol’ boring hard work and consistency.

Clinton again blasts Putin after her Hitler remark

Alec MAnley

s Ta f f w r i T e r

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin is a tough but thin-skinned leader who is squan-dering his country's potential, former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Wednes-day, a day after she likened his actions on the Crimean penin-sula of Ukraine to those of Ad-olf Hitler in the 1930s.

Clinton, a potential 2016 presidential contender, warned during her a speech at the University of California, Los Angeles, that "all parties should avoid steps that could be misinterpreted or lead to miscalculation at this delicate time."

Putin has said he was pro-tecting ethnic Russians by moving troops into Crimea.

Clinton said Tuesday at a closed fundraising luncheon in Long Beach that Putin's actions are similar what happened in the Nazi era in Czechoslovakia and Romania.

"Now if this sounds famil-iar, it's what Hitler did back in the '30s," Clinton said, accord-ing to the Press-Telegram of Long Beach. "Hitler kept say-ing, 'They're not being treated right. I must go and protect my people.' And that's what's got-ten everybody so nervous."

Responding to a question submitted at the UCLA talk, Clinton said she was not mak-ing a comparison although Russia's actions were "reminis-cent" of claims Germany made in the 1930s, when the Nazis said they needed to protect German minorities in Poland and elsewhere in Europe.

"The claims by President Putin and other Russians that they had to go into Crimea and maybe further into eastern Ukraine because they had to

protect the Russian minorities, that is reminiscent of claims that were made back in the 1930s when Germany under the Nazis kept talking about how they had to protect Ger-man minorities in Poland and Czechoslovakia and elsewhere throughout Europe," she said.

"I just want everybody to have a little historic perspec-tive. I am not making a com-parison, certainly. But I am rec-ommending that we perhaps can learn from this tactic that has been used before," she said.

Clinton said Putin is trying to "re-Sovietize" the periph-ery of Russia but is actually squandering the potential of his nation and "threatening in-stability and even the peace of Europe."

In recent days, some Re-publicans, including Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., have criti-cized the Obama administra-tion's policy in Ukraine. Clin-ton echoed President Barack Obama's assessment that Rus-sia's intervention was a viola-tion of international law, and she said she supported the administration's call for Russia "to refrain from the threat or use of force."

Kathryn Stoner, a Russia expert at Stanford Univer-sity's Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, said she considered Clinton's com-parison between Putin and the tactics of Nazi-era Germany "a bit of a stretch," in part because Putin "doesn't look like he is intent on spreading across the Ukraine and permanently oc-cupying this area."

In a delicate diplomatic sit-uation "I don't think it's helpful on either side to say things like this, but in these crises it hap-pens," Stoner added.

Even though all the plans were in place, a lack in the num-ber of participants caused the Striving to Inspire New Great-ness leadership retreat to be canceled. The retreat, hosted by Blue Key Honor society, was supposed to be held last Satur-day, March 1 in the Memorial Union.

This retreat was to be the first of its kind at Emporia State. The honor society had been plan-ning the event since November. Rachel Marshall, senior com-munication major, president of Blue Key and opinion writer for The Bulletin, said they originally hoped to get up to 150 partici-pants.

“That’s how we are with Blue Key – we like to shoot for the stars and dream big,” Mar-shall said. “But then once it got closer and we were think-ing more realistically, we were shooting for 40 to 60.”

The event was cancelled on Feb. 26 in the evening. Only around 14-17 students had signed up at that point.

The day-long retreat, which was intended to start with check-in at 8:30 a.m. and end around 4:30 p.m., included breakfast, group sessions, leadership pan-els, a leadership class, a speaker from the Kansas Leadership Center and group breakout ses-sions.

Some of the group breakout sessions were presentations pre-pared and offered by three Rec-ognized Student Organizations,

The Bulletin, PRIDE and Sigma Tau Gamma.

The event was targeted to-ward freshmen and students who were looking to be more involved and possibly fill lead-ership positions.

“Everybody has these unique and innate qualities that they can further develop,” said Nathan Woolard, director of leadership studies. “Everybody is a leader in their own way.”

Candy Cote, freshman chemistry major, said she was disappointed because she want-ed to go.

“I wanted to learn more about time management and leadership so that I can take over more leadership positions in my RSOs,” Cote said.

Cote is involved with Sigma Sigma Sigma, Youth Mentors,

Red Cross Club and Student Ambassadors, among others.

“I just wish more people would have signed up,” Cote said.

Those involved in plan-ning the event believe the tur-nout wasn’t better because of how new something like this is to Emporia State. They also pointed to scheduling conflicts on that day, such as the Interna-tional Food Festival, but they are hopeful to try again next spring.

“It was really disappointing because we did put a lot of hard work into it,” Marshall said. “We don’t want to think of it as a negative thing. We want to learn from it and have a better event next year.”

Blue Key Honor Society plans to host a similar retreat in spring 2015.

HUTCHINSON (AP) — The wife of Kansas Senate Ma-jority Leader Terry Bruce says in a court petition over her re-cent arrest for driving under the influence that she was un-lawfully stopped and never re-fused to take a breath test.

Sarah Bruce, of Nickerson, was arrested Dec. 11, 2013, in Hutchison on suspicion of DUI. She faces charges includ-ing refusing the request of law enforcement to submit to a preliminary screening test of her breath, driving in a man-ner that interfered with other traffic and operating a vehicle while the alcohol concentra-tion in her breath was .159. The legal limit in Kansas is under .08, The Hutchinson News re-ported

The arrest report said she was “drunk,” and law enforce-ment claimed she refused to submit to a complete test.

Kansas toughened penalties in 2012 for refusal to take a DUI test and for a blood-alcohol concentration above .15. Her husband, Sen. Bruce, R-Nick-erson, voted for the measure, which says refusal to take the DUI can lead to a one-year sus-pension of a person’s driving privileges. After the suspension that person is then restricted to driving only a vehicle with an ignition interlock device for a specific amount of time.

In a Feb. 14 hearing, Lisa Kelly, a hearing officer for the Kansas Department of Rev-enue’s Division of Vehicles, affirmed the administrative action of suspending and re-stricting Sarah Bruce’s driving privileges and found Hutchin-son law enforcement acted rea-sonably.

Mom, dad, daughter accused in $7M shoplift

CHICAGO (AP) — A father, mother and daughter from a posh Chicago suburb stole $7 million in merchandise during a decade-long shoplifting spree — traveling to stores nationwide and targeting dolls, toys, cosmetics and other valu-ables — according to a federal com-plaint released Wednesday.

The three were arrested earlier this week at their $1.3 million North-brook home after returning from a three-day trip through Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana, where authori-ties say they shoplifted from stores. Working in tandem, the family trav-eled from their Chicago-area resi-dence to hit businesses in multiple states, including Maryland, Tennes-see and Florida, according to the 20-page complaint.

Branko Bogdanov, 58, Lela Bogda-nov, 52, and their 34-year-old daugh-ter, Julia Bogdanov, are charged with

one count each of interstate transpor-tation of stolen property. They made initial appearances Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Chicago, but did not enter pleas; they’ll be held at least until a detention hearing next week. Someone who answered a phone at their Northbrook residence declined any comment

Lela Bogdanov frequently donned a long black skirt with large compart-ments sewn on the inside during the alleged shoplifting binges and was caught on surveillance cameras leav-ing some stores with her skirt look-ing notably fuller than when she en-tered, the complaint says.

Standing in orange jail clothes Wednesday in federal court, Lela Bogdanov wiped away tears as U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael Mason ex-plained her rights. She followed the proceedings through a Romani inter-preter.

The Emporia State Hornet baseball team trav-eled to Pittsburg last Thurs-day and Friday where they split back-to-back double-headers against the Gorillas.

The Gorillas took an early lead in the second inning with an RBI triple. The Hornets tied it up in the fifth with a run from Zach Stuckey, junior outfielder. PSU ended the game with a walkoff home run in the bottom of the seventh.

The Hornets started out the nightcap strong, going up 7-0 after just two and a half innings. They ended the game with a two-run homer from Levi Parker, junior infielder, taking the game 10-0.

Friday saw a split in the doubleheader again, with the Hornets taking the first game 6-5. The Gorillas ended the nightcap with a walkoff homer in the bottom of the ninth, taking it 7-6.

The Emporia State men’s and women’s track teams placed sixth and seventh, respectively, at the MIAA Indoor Championships last weekend in Joplin, Mo. Here, the hornets broke a school record in the heptathlon and had 16 provisional qualifiers for nationals, including one automatic qualifier.

With 5,305 points, Payson Maydew, sophomore, broke his own school record and the Leggett and Platte Center building record in the heptath-lon. This score also allowed him to automatically qualify for nationals. Maydew scored even more points for the men’s team by also placing sixth in the 60m hurdles, with a time of 8.52 seconds in the finals.

“I think everyone on our team gave outstanding effort,” Maydew, an accounting major, said. “Every time there is adversity, our team pushes through it. It may not have been the exact team results we were looking for but there is so much in store for outdoor on our team. I’m super excited for

it.”Nikki Wetstein, senior

health promotion major, was fourth place in both the pen-tathlon and the 60m hurdles. She provisionally qualified in both of these events, with a score of 3,517 points in the pentathlon and a time of 8.62 seconds in the finals of the 60m hurdles. Wetstein also scored for the team and provisionally qualified in long jump with a jump of 5.56 meters.

“This meet was bittersweet for me being a senior,” Wet-stein said. “I had high expecta-tions for myself and the team. Although we didn’t finish as high as we had hoped, I know everyone gave their all, and it showed through our marks and times. We had a lot of per-sonal and season bests, and in the end, that’s what matters.”

On the men’s side, Duke Tibbs, freshman, ran 49.29 seconds in the men’s 400m run, which is a provisionally qualifying time. Samuel Saidi, junior jumper, was second in the high jump and eighth in the triple jump. He cleared a pro-visional height of 2.08 meters in the high jump and 14.09 meters in the triple. Jordan Manning, sophomore, cleared

2.03 meters to tie for third place in the men’s high jump.

On the women’s side, Alaina Fairbanks, senior, and Maggie Wilson, junior, both cleared a provisional quali-fying height of 3.57 meters in pole vault. Fairbanks was third, while Wilson was fourth

scoreless in the second.“We are a scary team when

we get locked in… When our senior leadership gets locked in, it really gets us young guys locked in and anything is pos-sible,” Moore, a physical educa-tion major, said.

The Bearcats came out in the second half with a dunk but Wright quickly answered with a three-ball the next trip down the court. Wright and Moore continued to be a part of every play, leading the Hornets to a

in the event.Steve Blocker, head coach,

said the meet went well.“We had some great per-

formances,” Blocker said. “We weren’t happy with our overall team finish, but we performed right near our very best in all areas with just a couple of

mistakes that cost us. Overall, I’m proud of the way we com-peted. This is one of the best conferences in the country.”

The Hornets now prepare for the NCAA Indoor Cham-pionships before hosting the ESU Spring Opener on March 29.

64-51 lead over SBU with just under 13 minutes left in the game.

Fouls quickly became a problem for the Hornets, putting the Bearcats in the bonus with over eight minutes left. Bunch fouled out around the five-minute mark, continu-ing to bring the Bearcats to the line but the Hornets managed to maintain around a 10-point lead for the remainder of the game.

Moore had a career high of 40 points, while Wright added 29 points, 12 assists, eight rebounds and six steals. The two shared the record and player of the game.

“We always want to protect home court, even though it is tournament play,” Wright said. “We wanted to come out and play hard, and we know this team and that they weren’t going to come out and just lay down… We just wanted to make it to Kansas City and take care of our business there.”

The win over SBU earned the Hornets a trip to Kansas City tomorrow, where they will take on Northwest Missouri in the second round of the MIAA Tournament

“They played, they com-peted and they battled to earn the right to go, and right now, it is that time,” said Shaun Van-diver, head coach. “Win or go home.”
