Fifelski

“By any means necessary,” is what Emporia State’s debate team captain Kurt Fifelski abided by to achieve the status of an All-American from the Cross-Examination Debate Association.

Fifelski graduated from Wayland Union High School in Wayland, Mich., and is now a senior who plans on graduating with bachelors degrees in political science and social sciences, emphasizing in philosophy.

“I chose these majors because they are my passions and will help better my career.” Fifelski said. “Also, I am enthralled with reading and research, something these departments offer me.”

Multiple articles and essays written by Fifelski were published through the Best of ESU and West Coast Publishing. Fifelski was also named the 2008-2009 outstanding philosophy student by the ESU Social Sciences Department.

Four years debating has taught Fifelski lessons that he can achieve only through experience.

“I’ve learned a lot about argumentation, analysis, rhetoric and research,” Fifelski said. “More importantly, I have learned a lot about myself as it has taught me about personal reflection.”

Fifelski has participated in approximately 400 debates.

Fifelski draws his inspiration to debate purely out of his drive to be successful, with each win fueling his passion.

“Each win feels better than the last,” he said.

Fellow teammate Yao Chen, senior molecular and cellular biology major, said that Fifelski is the fastest speaker, an undefeatable debater and has the highest Grade Point Average.

“He is the absolute spirit of the whole squad,” Chen said.

Two-year debate partner, Chris Loghry, junior communications major, commented on Fifelski’s cross-examination method (a three minute questioning period following each constructive speech).

“He’ll regularly embarrass people in cross-examination, but he does so in the nicest possible way,” Loghry said.

Fifelski and Loghry have made it in the finals of two national debate tournaments this year, the University of Northern Iowa and the University of Northern Texas. It is the second time Fifelski has qualified to the National Debate Tournament, something most debaters never make it to.

Fifelski has competed against individuals from debate giants such as Harvard and Dartmouth.

Fifelski’s last debate performance with debate team was at the University of Dallas. He and his partner went 5-3 and qualified to the National Debate Tournament.

Recently, Fifelski had the honor to be nominated for the Harry S. Truman scholarship “The Harry S. Truman Scholarship is one of the most prestigious public affairs scholarships out there,” Fifelski said. “Each university has the opportunity to nominate a few students and typically 650-700 students apply. My goal has been achieved just by knowing my professors feel comfortable enough to support me in such endeavors.”

Not only is Fifelski a successful collegiate debater, he is also an accomplished high school coach. Being the varsity coach for the Emporia High School, Fifelski coached the most successful team in the state over the past year by winning the most prestigious debate tournament in Kansas, the Debate Coaches Invitational.

“Ultimately, Kurt is incredibly nice in debates and during work sessions and is always very respectful with people even when he’s schooling them,” Loghry said.

Fifelski was a champion even as a child. He participated in kart racing, winning multiple championships. He also shows great interest in boxing.

Fifelski’s ultimate goal is to achieve a doctorate degree. But first he plans on attending graduate school for communication at Berkley or Wake Forest. He also envisions himself living in Europe for a good portion of the next decade.

“He strives for excellence in everything he does and that really shows both academically and in terms of debate success,” Loghry said.

Recently we ran an article about the Pro-Life group that is attempting to become a recognized student organization on campus. When the article was posted on our website, we expected to see a thunderstorm of malicious, angry comments from both sides of the issue.

            We were pleasantly surprised by what we saw. For the most part, all of the comments were respectful, well-thought out, and level-headed. There were none of the typical name calling or pettiness that has become all too familiar in most online discussions.

            While we are proud of the comments on this article, they are sadly the exception to the rule in regards to commenting with a feeling of anonymity; it seems that anytime a person can comment without their real name attached, they become unbelievably cruel.

            Benjamin Morrison of the Columbus Dispatch recently wrote an article on the same topic, calling out his readers on their inappropriate behavior in  the online comments section. In his article he compared the comments of those sent via email versus those sent anonymously through the comments section.

            He stated that without fail those who replied through email, and thus were somewhat accountable for their words, were more kind and respectful, even when disagreeing, than those responding in comments on the newspaper’s site.        

            The same theory can definitely be applied our paper and the types of comments we encounter. Why is it that people are willing to be hurtful and demeaning when they think they can get away with it? What does that say about human nature- that we are only good for fear of getting held responsible for our actions?

            When we redesigned the newspaper’s site, the Bulletin staff went back and forth trying to decide whether or not to make comment-posting anonymous or require a name and email. Ultimately, against the wishes of many of our readers, we decided to go with the required “log-in”. 

            Though we have seen a dramatic decrease in comments since that decision, we have noticed that those who do comment are more civil in their tone, and tend to avoid personal attacks and petty behavior, which was common on our old site.

            There must be something to the idea that when we hold readers accountable, by name or email, they tend to think twice before posting their thoughts. Our site doesn’t even require a real name, as many people simply use nicknames. It is really only the email that lets us contact the commenter.

            The question then becomes; what can we do to increase commenting on our site, bearing that it is of the civil and constructive manner we are hoping for?

            This whole issue relates back to the  goal of our newspaper: we report the facts, you draw your own opinions. We want to hear your feedback on the news we are offering and the easiest way to do that is to comment online.

            We are always searching for ways to improve our paper, and we need your comments to help us get there. That being said, we hope you can covey them in a way that is respectful and constructive with clearly defined examples of what needs improvement, or what is working well, and why you feel that way.

            We are proud of our new website and we’d like to see more of our readers follow us there week after week. One of the best ways to do that is to continue cultivating strong discussion through our comments section. We want that to be a place where students and staff can speak their minds and share their thoughts on the issues addressed in every issue.

            But we ask that those who do comment continue to remain polite and civil in their comments, and treat all those they interact with, readers and Bulletin writers alike, with the utmost respect.

Ken Davis

Ken Davis, a popular Christian comedian, will perform at 7 p.m. tonight at the Granada Theatre, 807 Commericial St. Sponsored by KJIL 99.1FM, Davis’s one-man comedy show will center around what influences people.

“This will be a great act for the community,” said Jessica Buchholz, Executive Director of the Emporia Granada Theatre. “The Granada Theatre is excited to have Ken Davis perform here again. It is our mission to help bring a variety of different acts to the community and support all different kinds of culture and performances.”

Davis has made appearances around the world.

When asked why invite Davis to come to Emporia, Buchholz said “I think that the community should come and check out the show-it will be fun for all ages. It gives community members a chance to see something unique in the Granada.”

Davis lives in Tennessee with his wife, Diane and two daughters, Traci and Taryn. His entire family is involved in Davis’ ministry.

Davis has written nine books and published 15 CDs and 16 DVDs.

“I would say that I’m more of a storyteller than a stand-up comedian,” Davis said in a previous interview. “(The audience members) respond well to the stories, there’s a lot of humor involved. I think that I talk about things that people see every day, but never stop to notice.”

Davis is also a motivational speaker and offers seminars on speaking. All of his stories come from real life experiences.

“(I get inspiration from) real life,” Davis said in a previous interview. “I get it from the guy at the airport hassling the guy with the eye stuff. I get it from the guy asking me if I’m reading the newspaper. I get it from my grandchildren telling my wife that she has many wrinkles and then saying, ‘there’s cream for that.’ I get it from real life.”

ΣΦΕ (Sigma Phi Epsilon)

Sigma Phi Epsilon was founded at Richmond College on November 1, 1901 with the cardinal principles: Virtue, Diligence and Brotherly Love. ΣΦΕ has grown to more than 280,000 lifetime members, including over 14,000 undergraduates on 241 campuses in the United States.

“We are currently the largest fraternity in terms of undergraduate enrollment in the nation,” said Tanner Monroe, vice president of programming and crime and delinquency studies major. “We set up the highest GPA standard at the national fraternity. Maximizing members’ academic abilities is the number one priority of our fraternity. ”

The founders of Sigma Phi Epsilon set high standards for all brothers to follow.

”We sent three SigEps to Greece to learn about our balanced men because gracefully with balanced mind in balanced body, you will become a better person,” said Kyle Farmer, vice president of finance and secondary social studies education major. “The experience in SigEp helps me focus on money to balance the budget, and how to manage my time and realize who you are and become a better person.”

The fraternity also provides opportunities for motivated members to become leaders.

“We have a lot of leadership conferences that we are able to attend, and we get a lot of support from our alumni,” Monroe said. “There is so much you can do here.”

Farmer said he’s had many opportunities for leadership as well.

“All the fraternities help people develop leadership, but we are different in that we focus more on leadership,” Farmer said. “When I attended the leadership conference in St. Louis, where we gave out the ideas about how we help ourselves in different ways, I learned how to become a leader by uniting everyone under one rule and trying to make our fraternity a great place on the campus and in the community.”

In 2009, Sigma Phi Epsilon was responsible for 800 hours of community service activities, which accounted for almost one-third of the total reported hours within the Greek Community. 

“We will hold ‘Teeter-Totter’ every fall beginning in October and raise money for CECE,” Monroe said.

When asked about his attraction to Sigma Phi Epsilon, Monroe said they are “thirteen guys working for one common goal and we help each other out.”

ΣΣΣ (Sigma Sigma Sigma)

A sisterhood called Sigma Sigma Sigma was formed in Farmville, Vir., in 1898.

“We are a sorority containing 58 members and aiming to help college girls to become better women,” said Whitney Wiebe, president and secondary social sciences education major.

Sigma Sigma Sigma holds the mission of establishing among its members a perpetual bond of friendship, to develop strong character and to impress upon them high standards of conduct.

“The advantage is that I know a lot of women and I can establish friendship and be close to them,” Wiebe said.

As part of the mission statement, Wiebe emphasized that what she learned most about was conduct.

“Through character and friendship, you really get to develop how to become mature women, like being a president – I have a lot of leadership responsibilities and encourage others in the house,” she said. “That’s kind of cool.”

Wiebe encourages all girls to come out and see what being a part of a chapter and a university is all about.

“Sigma Sigma Sigma has introduced me to amazing young women which some have become my best friends,” said Kalyna Nelson, vice president and sociology major. “My sorority has offered me many opportunities and has helped me become involved at ESU.”

 As a new director for Up’til Dawn, Nelson always keeps busy with her classes, practice, work and leisure time.

“Tri Sigma is a home away from home giving the opportunity to be an individual while transitioning through life in college,” she said.

Looking back over the entire experience and the support Sigma Sigma Sigma has given her, Nelson said, “I believe character and friendship are important because any person should be unique while representing themselves in a positive way and friendship is key to a happy life and will help any person become a strong and better person.”

While a Greek chapter may be the answer for finding a place to get involved on campus, determining which fraternity or sorority to join can be a tough choice. Sigma Sigma Sigma has set up a detailed goal for GPA achievement and also encourages member to do certain community service projects every semester.

“Tri Sigma is a sorority that is really trying to get women who want to become better women and are trying to live better lives, developing leadership go out around the sorority and experience lives together,” Wiebe said.

Senior guard Sophia Lenard shoots over a FHSU defender Thursday night during the first round of the MIAA Tournament. The Hornets beat the Tigers 72-66.

After a rough start, the Emporia State women’s basketball team was able to pull together and defeat Ft. Hays State 72-66 in the first round of MIAA Tournament action.

A trio of three-pointers late in the game from senior guard Jamie Augustyn led the Hornets to come back from a large deficit.

“I just did what I do,” Augustyn said. “My teammates did a really good job of finding me open, so I just shot it.”

Freshman guard Jocelyn Cummings was the first to score for the Hornets on a slashing move to the basket. With just over 17:30 to play in the first half, the Hornets found themselves down 3-7 thanks to a pivotal Ft. Hays three-pointer.

The first media timeout of the half stopped the action at the 15:56 mark with ESU trailing the Tigers 5-7. Following the timeout, the Tigers went on a 4-0 run until senior guard Sophia Lenard made a basket in the paint.

Another media timeout saw the Hornets still trailing Ft. Hays State, 9-15, with 11:20 remaining in the half.

ESU Coach Brandon Schneider was forced to call a timeout when the Tigers’ lead extended to 11 with 8:09 left in the half.

Senior guard Lacy Corker made a three-pointer following the timeout, cutting Ft. Hays State’s lead to eight, 12-20. Two straight treys from Ft. Hays’ Naomi Bancroft put the Hornets behind by 14 with just over six minutes to play in the half. The final timeout on the floor of the half saw the Tigers with a 29-17 lead over Emporia State with 3:27 remaining.

Senior guard Lacy Corker puts up a 3 point shot Thursday night in Kansas City.

A well executed offensive play by the Hornets saw Cummings take it to the rim and score, cutting the lead to 10. A pair of free throws from Lenard and a slashing basket by Boston saw the Hornets pull within six of Ft. Hays’ lead, 23-29, with just over a minute to play in the opening period.

A three-pointer from the Tigers gave them a nine point cushion going into halftime with a 32-23 lead over ESU.

Schneider said that Hays’ effort in the first half proved to be formidable.

“In the first half, Hays was really good,” Schneider said. “I really felt like the difference between the two halves (was) Hays’ seniors played like they wanted to play another game. They out-competed our seniors.”

Boston led the Hornets in their comeback effort with seven early second half points. A timeout on the floor stopped the action at the 11:33 mark with the Hornets trailing the Tigers 38-47.

Augustyn sparked the comeback by the Hornets, who cut the Tigers lead to four at 43-47 with just under 10 minutes to play. Junior forward Alli Volkens followed up Augustyn’s basket with one of her own on the low block, setting the score to 47-45 in favor of FHSU. Another three-pointer from Augustyn that led the Hornets to within one of the Tigers’ lead, 48-49, led to a timeout by Ft. Hays Coach Tony Hobson.

Senior guard Cassondra Boston attacks the FHSU defense Thursday night in the first round of the MIAA Tournament.

Following the timeout, ESU finally took the lead thanks to yet another Augustyn three-pointer. The Hornets went on a 7-2 run after the timeout by Ft. Hays, bringing the score to 55-51 in favor of Emporia State with just over five minutes remaining in the contest.

Boston said that it was at this point the seniors realized it was time to step up.

“We knew we had to pick it up right then and there,” Boston said. “I just kept stressing that every possession mattered. We couldn’t take any possessions off.”

Ft. Hays went on a small run of their own to tie the game up at 55 with 4:08 left to play.

The final media timeout saw ESU leading FHSU 58-57 at the 3:37 mark.

A myriad of lead changes occurred in the final few minutes of the game until a hard earned basket on the low block by Volkens stretched the Hornets’ lead to three, 66-63, with 1:04 remaining in the half.

Following a FHSU timeout, a trip to the charity stripe for Boston led to two more points, extending their lead to five, 68-63 with under a minute to play.

Boston gave the Hornets four more free throw points as the team left the court with a victory over the Tigers, 72-66.

Boston led all scorers with 23 on 6 of 18 shooting. Augustyn chipped in 11 points, while Volkens and senior guard Lacy Corker added 10 points each.

The Hornets will now face Central Missouri in the semifinals of the MIAA Tournament.  Tip-off is scheduled for 2:15 on March 6 at the Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Mo.

: As a part of women’s history month, ESU assistant professor of history, Joyce Thierer held a performance named “This Land Can Not Be Sold” last Tuesday night at Bruder Theatre in King Hall in the form of a personal narrative. Kellen Jenkins/ The Bulletin

As a part of women’s history month, ESU assistant professor of history, Joyce Thierer held a performance named “This Land Can Not Be Sold” last Tuesday night at Bruder Theatre in King Hall in the form of a personal narrative.

Thierer portrayed a woman named Grower, who lived in a plains Earth Lodge village before white settlers came. As a composite character, Grower told teaching stories that are stories that have been told by native peoples, and talked about change, trade and farming.

“Some people call it oral biography,” Thierer said. “I chose the name Grower because to grow is what women did, to be a grower, someone to grow things need to be women. I grow thing but there will be more complex name that one will not share with the culture because you have your personal name and public name. ”

The people created by Thierer with the background of American and Western history are concerned about loss not so much of control of the land, but of use of land.

“They know very well what has happened to the peoples to the East, how they have lost the land because the women, not the men, were farming it. For all of these peoples, to farm, to be a producer of food means to be a woman. This is one of the basic clashes of cultures, that of production – what it is and who does it,” Thierer said.

At the end of the performance, the issue for Grower is that of how many of the white ways the people will need to adopt to survive.

“I have never seen this kind of historic performance before. Dr. Joyce left me strong impression and impact with her unique performance,” said Alison Li, junior business major. “I was not familiar with the history that was told tonight before, but now I know it. It’s about hope, about survival, about adjusting to the change. It makes me think about it again and again.”

“With performance, we have one time to connect, and the level of excitement is what I learn from the performance. I am working very hard on my teaching delivery and my teaching style,”
Thierer said.

Thierer held her first performance of Calamity Jane in 1988 while she was working on her doctorate degree in history from Kansas State University and teaching history for Emporia State University.

“History is the story of the choices we have made over time, and the story of how we have explained those choices,” Thierer said.

Some of Thierer’s creative performance teaching styles were inspired by her earlier experience. Thierer has been performing with “Ride into History” since she founded the historic performance touring troupe in 1990.

“The more I think, the much better the students like it,” Thierer said. “Because when I am out on the road, and I drive around campus, and talk to Kansa, I get excited about the topics, so it keeps me always thinking. The performances keep me learning and interested in it,”

Thierer recently published, “Telling History: A Manual for Performers and Presenters of First-Person Narratives,” and also won the Philadelphia Award.

March marks the start of Women’s History Month. This celebration of the achievements of women throughout America and the world has its own rich, interesting history.

2010 marks the 30^th anniversary of the first official acknowledgement of Women’s History. It was not immediately given its own month, but rather started out as a full week long event throughout public schools. The was so popular it spread throughout the country and soon the government declared the week of March 8^th to be the official Women’s History Week.

The purpose of this week was to increase awareness of all the work women have done for society throughout history. Those who created this movement felt that women were being vastly underrepresented in the media and in history books for their involvement in the shaping of our modern world.

They wanted to see an improvement in the way classes were taught in regards to women’s history.

Through their continued dedication and the raising of awareness of the issue across the country, March was officially dedicated as Women’s History Month in 1987 by the President of the United States.

Every year the president presents a speech to kick off the month, where they emphasize the importance of acknowledging important women in history.

Every year is also marked with its own distinct theme – a message to help unite all of the supports of women’s history. This year the theme involves a return of women in public education textbooks.

Some believe that women have once again taken a back seat to men when being represented within history books. This month should be a reminder to highlight all the great deeds that women have accomplished in this country.

It is easy to think that having months dedicated to specific demographics or minorities is a redundant or even biased. But it is important to remember the real focus of campaigns like Women’s History Month – they are geared towards making changes in realm of public schools, especially for children.

We may know of the many great things women have done for the world, but that is only because we were taught about it since elementary school. Our generation was one of the first to receive a full education about the minorities that history typically seemed to overlook. So of course it will seem unneeded to highlight information that to us seems common-place.

It is because of the work of the first women’s history advocates that we have the privilege to feel that way. We must all do our part to ensure that future generations get the same opportunities to learn about the overlooked populations that have been so pivotal in shaping our modern world.

So use this March as a time to really develop our understanding of the importance not just of women but of the education of the work women have done. Attend any of the various speakers that are planned for the month, or the series of one-acts that are being put on by the women’s rights organization POWER. You have the ability to help ensure that future generations will all get the same opportunities to learn about the female heroes that helped us all get to where we are today.
