As the new school year stretches its fledgling wings, it is obvious that the overall appearance of campus is somewhat different than it was last year.

As soon as the spring semester ended, construction crews moved into the Memorial Union to begin the process of renovation after nearly one and a half years of anticipation.

The most obvious change in the physical outline of the union is the relocation of the student bookstore, formally located on the first floor of the union in plain view for anyone seeking to find textbooks, school supplies or ESU apparel. Now, however, the bookstore has been moved into the basement of the union, in the space formally occupied by the Office of International Education which moved into a space in Morse Hall that, in the past, was used as part of the student dormitories.

Phew!

As you can clearly see and have most likely experienced firsthand, this whole relocation process has made things a bit convoluted and at times downright confusing. The widespread relocations on campus have made it a more difficult for the average student to navigate his or her way around campus without taking a detour or even backtracking to find the location they are looking for.

Students and faculty are not the only ones directly affected by the construction process. When visitors come to ESU they will have one of two thoughts about the renovations happening on campus. They will be impressed that ESU is taking the initiative to improve the campus, or they will be annoyed by the difficulties associated with getting around a campus under construction.

Either way, a significant impression will be made on visitors to our campus. An impression they will take away from ESU and relay to others.

Returning students are bound to notice differences throughout the campus. The library is different; the union is under construction; some of the dormitories have received a facelift. These are all good things in the long run, however, at the current moment in time they seem more as inconveniences than anything else.

The main way to solve the issues students and staff are facing with the renovations is communication. The renovation should be documented better on its website, www.emporia.edu/murenovation.

Maps should be made available on this website and placed at strategic locations throughout the campus. These small changes would be infinitely better than the current situation, wherein it seems that students are left to figure out the changes on campus for themselves.

If the administration does a better job of communicating what areas of the university are being affected by this process and when, then the problems that we are currently facing could be lessened or, ideally, solved altogether.

In two years, these inconveniences will be a thing of the past. But for now, it is an annoying fact of life here at ESU. The easier it is for students here on campus, the better experience it will be for everyone. It starts with the little things.

A new year at Emporia State means a new start and an abundance of golden opportunities to meet new people and share and discuss ideas with others from all walks of life. The Bulletin is excited for a new school year, and a new year of the paper. 2011 marks the 110^th anniversary of the first publication of The Bulletin, and we want to make this year’s newspaper the best it’s ever been.

The Bulletin’s motto is “The students’ voice since 1901.” We truly believe in this motto, and hope that students understand that we at The Bulletin are dedicated to ensuring that this motto remains true. The only way that this can happen is for students at ESU to use The Bulletin as a medium for voicing questions, concerns and comments about ESU, Emporia and the surrounding area.

Emporia is a kind of melting pot of students from every political, religious and cultural viewpoint, and every person on campus should have the same opportunity to present his or her own opinion. The only sure way to learn about any subject, event or school of thought is to learn and understand every possible side of the issue.

We believe that The Bulletin can help educate everyone at ESU about this school, this city, and events on a global scale. But, this transference of knowledge is completely dependent on the students who contribute to the paper. We strongly encourage anyone who is interested in voicing their views in a more public forum to apply at The Bulletin, comment on articles on the paper’s website (esubulletin.com) and write letters to the editor, which are published in the opinion section of the paper. We are always interested in including numerous viewpoints in every edition of the paper in order to ensure that all sides of every issue are presented.

We strive to make The Bulletin a starting point for campus-related discussions. Our greatest mission for the articles included in every edition of The Bulletin is to stimulate constructive and civil debate among ESU students. We do not simply want to report the news; we want our readers to think about the news, to talk about the news, and to motivate other students to take part in the intellectual community at ESU.

The Bulletin has been producing news about Emporia State and the surrounding area since 1901. Throughout that time, the paper has been a student-led production. In order to properly represent the entire student body, students from all political, religious and cultural stances should be seen in print. Those interested in applying for a position at The Bulletin should come to The Bulletin office, on the third floor of the Memorial Union, to pick up an application.

Students at ESU deserve to be heard, and we at The Bulletin want nothing more than to give every student the power to have his or her voice heard by all.

A potentially explosive situation is at hand.

The Sunflower, Emporia State’s yearbook for over 100 years, may be in danger of becoming a class instead of an independent publication.

And frankly, that’s unacceptable.

Currently, the Sunflower is designated as an independent publication in the university handbook and the Student Media Board constitution.

However, according to the Teaching Load Reassigned Time Draft Proposal of April 19, a university report, the adviser for the Sunflower was not listed as receiving any release time to advise the publication. The report was in response to inefficiency concerns in the Legislative Post Audit and from the Kansas Board of Regents.

If the Sunflower becomes a class, as has been proposed by some administrators, the Sunflower will lose its independence.

When a publication loses its independence, it is not just losing a title. The students who work on the publication in a classroom lose the ability to choose what ultimately appears in print.

Prior review becomes the name of the game. Instructors (who, at a state school are seen as extensions of the state) have the ability to edit or completely eliminate anything they want from publication.

We are pre-professionals, not high school journalists, and many of us are using our experience as workplace training. If these changes were to occur, how could students continue to receive salaries? How could an editor discipline his or her peers in a classroom setting? How can the Sunflower continue to function as an independent publication when the instructor – who answers to the administration – has the option of giving a bad grade to a student? How can an instructor not be retaliated against by the administration for what they “allow” students to publish in a classroom setting?

Independence of student publications, especially at a public university, is a pillar of free speech in America. Our greatest fear is that turning the yearbook into a class would set a precedent for all student publications – a precedent that would destroy the integrity of the journalism program and the people in it.

There is no doubt that the articles in the Sunflower vary from those in the Bulletin. But despite the type or quality of content produced by these publications, free speech must be protected.

On a campus where freedom of expression is (or at least should be) a core value, there must be a free and vibrant press.

If the Sunflower is turned into a class, is the Bulletin far behind?

We call upon the administration to scrap any plans it may have to turn the Sunflower into a “class project.”

As we celebrate Earth Day today we feel Emporia State should take a moment to seriously evaluate its current campus wide recycling program. We feel it is time to step up our commitment to our community and to our environment by expanding our recycling program to the next level.

The current recycling program on campus is minimal. There are eight buildings throughout campus that are included in the official recycling routine. Paper and aluminum cans are collected on a regular basis by a paid student employee through the Physical Plant on campus. This includes buildings such as King, Beach, Roosevelt and the science building. The bins are short and round blue with holes cut in the top to collect cans. The paper recycling can be found in various department offices throughout the buildings.

In addition there are a few buildings that continue their own recycling programs. These buildings are the union the library and the HPER building. Some of these programs have been operating for over ten years and are maintained by staff faculty and even students.

Campus wide recycling has been a project that has been underway for over a decade. Through various incarnations of the environmental club on campus students have petitioned the student government and the administration for a comprehensive campus recycling program.

When the program did not see completion it was due to one of the following obstacles: lack of funding, lack of a structured plan, lack of student involvement, or lack of volunteers to do the work. More often than not what occurred was that the students involved in the environmental club graduated and the club disappeared. Without those students to pressure the administration there was no strong incentive to carry forward the work.

Over the last three years, the current generation of ESU’s Environmental Club has been working to create a sustainable and affordable solution to the campus recycling issue. They have worked with the physical plant to create a paid student position, the same one that is in place now. The club has also worked with the residential halls to set up basic types of recycling programs in Towers and Morse.

Currently, there is a proposal created by the physical plant to expand what campus recycling already exists. The plan would increase the student position, either by increasing their weekly hours or by hiring additional employees, and spread to additional buildings.

This plan would be best for campus.  We feel that a comprehensive plan that covers all buildings on campus is needed to fully commit to recycling.

Another important component is that the work is done by paid workers and not volunteers. The earlier versions on the plan relied on student volunteers to do the work of changing bins and collecting the recycled material. This allows for mistakes and misses if the volunteers do not do their work. With employees there is a stronger sense of accountability and it guarantees that the work will get done.  It also creates a stronger sense of sustainability for the program, as the employee position can be refilled on a yearly basis, instead of having to find new volunteers on every year.

Emporia State has an obligation to reduce its impact on the environment and community. We should serve as stewards to our planet and help preserve it for future generations. The easiest and most effective way to do this is by supporting this new proposal for campus recycling.

Take time to talk to faculty and staff on campus about making recycling happen. Email the administration to let them know you support a recycling program. The best way to show your support of a recycling program is by supporting what is already existent on campus. Help fill the recycling bins that are already on campus to show there is substantial student support for recycling.

On Monday, The Bulletin staff reported to Police and Safety that a stack of 200-300 newspapers had been stolen. So far, the person who committed the theft has not been identified.

Newspaper theft is not just a problem at Emporia State. According to the Student Press Law Center’s Web site newspaper theft has increased in frequency on campuses throughout the country. Most commonly papers are stolen during parent visit weekends or alum events to prevent any bad press from resonating from the campus.

Acts of theft and vandalism are upsetting – and illegal.

Stealing the papers is not only an ineffective way to voice concerns about the direction of the paper, it is also a costly and illegal action. The SPLC estimates that newspaper theft costs student media organizations thousands of dollars each year. Though the paper is offered to students free of charge we have to pay to print and produce each issue. When they are stolen it’s a waste of student fees. Another factor is the amount of advertisements that are placed within the paper. Advertisers pay to put adds in the paper and additional money is spent to print the ads.

But the biggest problem involved in this situation is that it creates a style of censorship against our First Amendment rights. We choose to print information and opinions to educate and inform the student body. But we have the right, just as any newspaper or citizen in this country does, to print publish or speak anything that we would like, and the right should be defended by any means necessary.

The school should be working to prevent anyone or anything from censoring freedoms on campus. Many schools around the country have imposed rules and sanctions that penalize anyone caught stealing papers in bulk. Studentpress.org offers a few examples of what a school policy against newspaper theft looks like. Our school should impose similar rules on our campus.

It should always be remembered that The Bulletin, like any source of news media, should be the direct voice of the public. If there are people who don’t like what is being put in the paper then they should speak up officially. But if we are never informed of people’s complaints then we can never make take those critiques into account. The Bulletin is a learning tool for students and it is only through constructive criticism that we can continually grow.

There are many ways to voice complaints or opinions, including utilizing online comments, writing a letter to the editor, emailing editors or simply calling The Bulletin office.

If you are unhappy with what is published in the paper, you have a right to voice it. But not by infringing on our rights as stated in the First Amendment.

Of all the events on campus, sports might be the one that best brings the school together. We all know the sense of unity that we feel when we sit in the stands and cheer for our team to make the winning touchdown or score that final basket in overtime.

Even in defeat, we are bound in our mutual sense of heartbreak. The thrill of victory, the agony of defeat: all of those are felt universally by everyone in attendance.

Sports are an activity that ties us together: spectator and athlete, student and professor, or community member and family. Whatever the role one plays we all feel a connection to the game and to the sport, no matter what game it might be.

So why does our school seem to favor certain sports over others, time and time again? It seems that only some sports garner proper attention from the university, while others are forced to create their own publicity.

It is not to say that the school isn’t equally proud of all of their sports and athletes.

This is more a matter of the promotions and advertising, press, and public statements that are released from the school to the public and to the campus in regards to all of its sports. It feels that the focus is typically shifted to a few specific sports, while others are mentioned more rarely.

Perhaps it is because these sports are the most commonly talked about in society in general, so it would make sense they receive more attention on a campus level. If this is true, there are a couple of responses that could be made.

First, awareness of a sport is cyclical: people only know about it, and thus develop an interest in it, if it’s promoted. And promotions only seem to occur for the sports people are already the most aware of.

So if the school wanted to create more interest in an under-discussed sport, the best way to do that would be to start promoting it more heavily.

Secondly, it should be remembered that these sports are at the collegiate level. The athletes and coaches train and perform to the best of their abilities, and many will probably advance to the professional level in the future.

Another possible reason is because some sports bring in more money than others.

But as we are in college we should remember that part of the purpose of taking part in sports is for the experience and not solely for the sake of winning. There should be a stronger sense of equality on a campus-wide level than would be expected at a professional level.  Each sport should be given a fair amount of publicity and public support regardless of its current social popularity or success as a team.

Success as a team brings up another interesting point. If the promotions of sports are based on a basis of success, meaning those that win the most will receive the most attention, then the balance of attention seems even more unbalanced.

Football does not have the strongest record of wins out of all the sports found on campus, yet it receives the most university attention and the highest attendance during games. Meanwhile, other sports such as track and baseball do consistently well, yet receive less attention.

The best thing you can do is go to track meets, soccer games or the other numerous sports that occur regularly throughout the seasons.  Word of mouth is another pivotal and inexpensive way to spread the word about upcoming events.

The Bulletin would like to do its share and increase its coverage of upcoming sports events as well as recaps of what has recently occurred. Any ideas or suggestions can be sent to Shane Wilson, editor of the sports section for The Bulletin.

Today, hundreds of college (and commercial) newspapers will share in the fun of April Fool’s Day editions, filled with satirical pieces poking fun at local news, politics and organizations. It’s an opportunity for many journalists to take a break from hard news and learn to be a bit creative and maybe even funny.

However, this year, there are several reasons our staff has decided not to produce the annual Bullshit edition. These reasons include fiscal responsibility and the mentality that producing a satire issue affects the credibility of the newspaper as a whole. We want our readers to trust our front page and the information we provide, regardless of the day of the year.

At the beginning of the school year, The Bulletin switched from a twice a week publication to printing once a week. The reasons for this switch involved our doubling printing costs as we moved to a new printer at The Lawrence Journal-World. Our former printer, The Emporia Gazette, had decommissioned its presses.

Since our primary goal as a paper is to provide accurate news to the campus and the community, we decided we could not, in good conscience, replace our usual weekly issue with The Bullshit edition.

For as long as anyone we’ve talked to can remember, The Bullshit has come out on April Fool’s Day.  It is a collection of satirical news articles, photos and opinion pieces entirely made up by our staff. The issue pokes fun at recent campus and local events and provides a refreshing sense of humor you don’t normally see within our paper.

We are certainly disappointed that we will not have the chance to publish The Bullshit this year. It is an Emporia State tradition and easily one of our favorite events of the year. But in this economic climate, and with print editions already limited, it just didn’t seem right.

We are currently tossing around ideas to include satire pieces in the regular edition of the paper in the entertainment section, which we have done in the past.

We are not the creators of this style of reporting either. Anyone who says this kind of journalism has no place in society should look into publications like The Onion or The Harvard Lampoon. Both of these are comical reviews that poke fun at everything from religion to politics to journalism itself.

In the past, The Bullshit has been a reminder not only to the campus community but The Bulletin staff as well to not take ourselves too seriously. To poke a little fun at ourselves. To give ourselves a break.

As always, we welcome your input on our decision, as it can help us make decisions in the future that reflect the will of the student body. And who knows, perhaps someday The Bullshit will make another appearance.

No one will deny that there is a communication problem on campus. Groups plan and put together amazing events, and experience little attendance. Conversely, students are constantly complaining that there is never anything to do on campus.  This leads us to believe that it is in the communication of the events that problem exits – getting the information to those who are interested.

On campus there are only a select few ways to promote for an upcoming event. Groups can use the Buzz-In feature of student email, and it will be displayed on the school Web site. Groups can also promote their event by tabling in the union, passing information to those who walk by.

The most popular method for disbursing information is the poster route, used to hang posters across campus. This allows the information to be seen evenly throughout the school by every department, staff student and faculty alike.

Though it may be the best way to currently advertise on campus, it is not as efficient or as fairly run as it could be. There are numerous rules and restrictions that exist within the poster route, and the process can be confusing to those unfamiliar with it.

The poster route policy is as follows: only recognized student organizations (RSOs) or university departments are allowed to put up posters anywhere around campus. They must be approved by the CSI office and contain the Power E, name of the organization, and some basic contact information.

This restricts a sizable amount of people who would like to advertise on campus for one reason or another. If someone is looking for a roommate, lost dog, or information on employment opportunities, they must look elsewhere to spread or find information. Because of this, organizations and businesses in the Emporia community cannot advertise at all on campus unless somehow connected to an on campus organization.

There are a handful of free bulletin boards throughout campus that allows anyone to advertise whatever they would like, but they are difficult to locate and because of that are sparsely noticed.

The school’s official reasoning for why they do not permit businesses or organizations to advertise on campus is because they wish to retain stability on campus. They believe that by allowing outsiders, or even students unaffiliated with an organization, to advertise their cause it would create a chaotic environment on campus.

College should be a time of open ideas and new mindsets. People come to college to grow as people, not only educationally but also politically, socially, and spiritually. We can understand the school’s desire to keep campus an argument free area, free of any intense debates or discord. But by doing so, they are actually robbing their students of the full college experience.

If you look at campuses like KU or WSU, you’ll see fliers all over the place advertising everything from church functions to bar specials to local musical acts.  These campuses have little restrictions, outside of general vulgarity or profanity rules, and their students do not seem to be suffering because of it. If anything, their student body is flourishing for all the great activities that are presented to them.

No one is saying the school has to take a position on the issues and the activities that are present on campus. No one would want that. All we are asking is that the school gives students the freedom to make up their own minds about these issues. Present us with the situation and trust in us to do what we feel is right for us. That is one of the true goals of a good college.

The university won’t be there forever to shield us from the controversial issues of life. Eventually we will be in the real world and will have to decide how we feel about it. We should be experiencing that now so that we can be even more prepared once we leave here.

We ask that the school reconsider their restrictive policy towards the poster route, and open the conversation about what should be acceptable and what shouldn’t. We realize it can be subjective, but we would like the right to make that decision as a student body, and not be told what we are ready or not ready to see.

The benefit would be an increase in attendance and awareness about the great things happening on campus put on by groups and the campus itself. The other advantage would be students would get the experience to create their own opinions about important issues, and will grow as people because of it.

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.

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.

February is drawing to a close, and that means that March, and spring, is right around the corner.

Few college students can think of springtime without thinking of one thing – spring break. Spring break is that magical vacation away from all academic worries and concerns; a time to rest relax and reboot.

It is supposed to be simply a week long chance to clear our heads before returning to the grind of school.

But for many college students, spring break is more than just a break – it’s their excuse to go wild. Over the last two decades spring breaks have grown from a typical school sanctioned vacation, like fall break or winter break, into a wild booze-filled over the top rampage.

The mentality behind the break is what has fueled the change in behavior. Students treat this break as their reward for staying focused and not partying (too much) during the semester.  Once the break arrives we go nuts, as if trying to make up for all the lost time.

We aren’t the only ones to follow this mindset – the older generations are the same way. We all know people who are simply “living for the weekend,” using their jobs to pay for their fun once Friday rolls around.

Whatever causes people to go crazier on spring break than the other breaks is merely a side note, because it is the fact that people are going crazy that really matters. Each year hundreds of students are hospitalized for alcohol or drug abuse, dehydration, assault or a variety of other abuses. Thousands of dollars in damages occur in hotels and bars around the world, due to out of control partiers. There are even a handful of deaths that occur every year due to things getting out of hand.

And what happens once the college crowd returns home? We are wiped out, drained from the excess amount of partying that went on. We usually don’t feel any more prepared for school than when we left, sometimes even less.

All we can do is get thrown back into the grindstone, and start counting down the days to summer break.

So if that’s true, what’s the point of spring break? Wasn’t it supposed to rejuvenate us? To refill us instead of wipe us out?

It’s not a matter of not partying, but simply of partying smarter. Learn to make informed decisions about your situations and your groups of friends before the situation is allowed to get out of hand. Educate yourself about the risks involved in spring break so you can be ready to deal with them should they come up.

Each year ESU hosts a Safe Spring Break event, dedicated to informing the campus about some of the dangers associated with spring break, and how best to avoid them.  They cover a wide range of topics, from alcohol poisoning to sexual assault to over-exertion.  The event is free for anyone to attend and usually contains a lot of fun games prizes and food. This year the event is March 8 from 8-9:30 p.m. in Webb Lecture Hall.

There is nothing wrong with going out and having a fun, relaxing spring break- that’s why it was created. Without something to break up the semester I don’t know how we could get through the whole thing in one piece. But if your spring breaks usually wind up being more trouble than they are worth, with injuries, legal incidents, or just unhealthy practices, maybe it’s time to reevaluate how helpful that break is.

It’s never too late to make a change for a safer spring break.
