First generation enrollment up, university deficit down WSU President Schulz and Provost Bernardo host WSU Vancouver Town Hall

“Create a more inclusive and welcoming campus environment.” -WSU President Kirk Schulz

WSU President Kirk Schulz praised the WSU Vancouver campus during a recent town hall with Provost Dan Bernardo, specifically mentioning record high enrollment with nearly 40 percent being first generation college students. Provost Bernardo said, “WSU Vancouver has research achievements and received several notable research grants and awards. There is also progress in student success.” WSU President Schulz said WSU as a system has made significant progress in restoring the fiscal health of the university’s budget. Last academic year, WSU Vancouver had a $30 million budget deficit. “We are going to continue on with the 2.5 percent spending reduction this year” Schulz said. Currently, there is a $7 million deficit credited to the implementation of the 2.5 percent spending reduction. Additionally, WSU has launched the “Drive to 25” an initiative that, according to Schulz, includes striving to be one of the top 25 public research universities in the nation. Currently, WSU is ranked at 52. According to the WSU website, WSU is predicted to be in the top 25 by the year 2030. “The next step is to prioritize institutional investments, to lay foundation for significant increases in research and development expenditures” Schulz said.

issue 7.indd 5

Bernardo laid out the initiatives for the coming year and system-wide goals which included: “Restore our fiscal health, continue modernization and compliance initiative and create a more inclusive and welcoming campus environment.” Bernardo also said that him and Schulz plan to advance the strategic plan to include the drive to 25. Bernardo discussed growing as an institution and bolstering efforts to increase student safety. Toward the end of the event many people had questions for the guests. One question was with regards to dorms on the WSU Vancouver campus. Schulz said there are still several things the county has to accept before moving forward with dorms on the Vancouver campus. Other audience members asked about what the university is doing in terms of job opportunities for graduate and doctoral students. Schulz said, “internships have to extend through every major,” adding that “other universities are too busy producing professors and not any other professional development programs.” With the Drive to 25, WSU continues to strive for that top 25 research institution spot.

Survivors support breast cancer awareness month

Local organization, Pink Lemonade Project, empowers and educates those affected by breast cancer Anna Nelson

Reporter

For many, October represents a month of strength and survival. Students who are looking to support a cause or volunteer with a charity can find a local opportunity within The Pink Lemonade Project. Throughout the month, survivors and supporters came together to bring attention to breast cancer. The Pink Lemonade project is a local organization, headquartered in Vancouver with a mission “To educate, empower and support those affected by breast cancer,” and have been doing so since 2010. Pink Lemonade Project functions in Clark County, Wash. and Portland, Ore. The project began with two local physicians, Drs Allen and Cassie Gabriel, who saw more to breast cancer treatment than the physical, recognizing that it also requires emotional treatment. Judy Welch and Sherry Stose, two dedicated volunteers of the Pink Lemonade Project, are both breast cancer survivors who met at McCord’s Vancouver Toyota on Oct. 8 to support the cause and raise awareness. Waste Connections of Clark County supports the Pink Lemonade Project with pink recycling bins. The bins cost $100 and all of the proceeds go to the project, funding support therapy (amongst other things) such as retreats for survivors. When asked what being a survivor meant to her, Welch said, “You’re so caught up in getting through the diagnosis and figuring out all the specifics of your own cancer and the disease and then what to do that you’re just in this fog for a long time.” She continued, “It’s a whole new world that opens up to you. To be a survivor is, you’ve experienced it, you try not to let it be your focus of your life, but you really want to help other women through that.” Stose said “I think when you’re a survivor, your focus isn’t breast cancer. You’re focus is life.” She explained that although breast cancer is an awful experience, it has had a positive impact on her life. Stose added that since being diagnosed, she has a greater appreciation for life, can enjoy the little things and has made life-long friends.

“Even having a cold is okay! I mean, I’m here to experience it!” Stose said, as she “I think when snuffled through her you’re a survivor, head-cold, something your focus isn’t she said she has come breast cancer. You’re to appreciate since her focus is life.” cancer recovery. - Sherry Stose, According to Stose, breast cancer Pink Lemonade Project survivor helps make it possible for those affected by breast cancer to move forward, “to be a survivor, not a victim.” Welch and Stose said to anyone affected by breast cancer, “Seek out support.” Stose added, “If there’s something that worries you, consult your doctor. Don’t be afraid, as silly as you think something is – you need to have it checked out.” Welch encouraged seeking help well before the diagnosis. “A lot of women come into the office that let it go a long time and now it’s really serious. They’ve had that lump for a while, but they were too afraid to come in,” Welch said. For students looking to support the breast cancer awareness cause, Stose and Welch encouraged being aware and consulting a doctor with any concerns, no matter how minor. “Spread the word about support groups – how important those things are. The mind and body can’t be separated. If you’re mentally and emotionally healthy and have these people they can help you get through this,” Stose said. “Spread the awareness and take away the fear,” added Welch. Welch smiled in agreement when Stose said, “There is life after breast cancer.” 10/29/18 6:22 PM

Peace Paper, a world wide project International artisan project comes to WSU Vancouver

Sofia Grande Reporters Anna Nelson Twenty-one years ago Drew Matott first learned about the paper making process when he transformed his late father’s clothing into paper for his poems and photos. Matott said at first, paper making was a family activity but since has evolved to include students, refugees and survivors of war and terrorism across the globe. Now the director of the Peace Paper Project, Matott has taught paper making to over 30,000 people around the world. The project came to WSU Vancouver on Oct. 9. Matott described the Peace Paper Project as an international organization of fine artists, including papermakers, art therapist and social activists. Matott added that the project is a form of social engagement and art therapy. The project is known to be used to help members of the community heal and address specific issues they may have. The project has thousands of workshop participants and has launched 40 paper making programs in different countries including

issue 7.indd 8

Australia, India, Turkey, Iran, Ukraine and Poland according to the Peace Paper Project website. “For me, the Peace Paper Project is a force of using hand paper making as a form of healing to help different populations and different groups address specific issues in their communities,” Matott said. Matott’s decision to bring the Peace Paper Project to Vancouver was influenced by his past relationship with WSU Vancouver Chancellor Mel Netzhammer. “[Netzhammer] was the Dean of the College of Arts and Humanities at Buffalo State [State University of New York], when I was an undergraduate… He was one of the big people in my life” Matott said. For the last three years, Matott and artist Jana Schumacher worked at the Peace Paper Project headquarters in Hamburg, Germany. There, Matott and Schumacher continue to work with migrants to transform their clothing (clothing worn as they escaped from their home country) to

Research Week displays student findings and labs across campus WSU Vancouver students to take part in tier one research Sofia Grande

Reporter

There are over 4,500 universities in the United States, according to the Office of Research and Graduate Education. The Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education is responsible for classifying universities and colleges across the United States based on their education and research abilities. However, according to the Carnegie Classification website, only about 2.4 percent of universities are considered to have the highest research activity. Universities with high research activity are considered to be a tier-one research university by providing students and faculty with plenty of research opportunities. Washington State University is one of those universities. The WSU Vancouver campus provides students the opportunities to conduct their own research. Until

recently, research opportunities were provided through the University Scholars Honors program which partners undergraduate students with faculty advisors to create and conduct their own research projects. The 2018/19 academic year is the first year without a cohort for the honors program, a product of the systemwide spending freeze. However, research opportunities remain available to students. The Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) provides students the chance to emerge in various disciplines of research on campus through a faculty member’s lab. In celebration of scholarly activity campus wide, Research Week took place Oct. 15-20. The week kicked off with an open house of the Fine Arts lab where student projects were on display

issue 7.indd 10

throughout the Multimedia building. Faculty from the College of Arts and Sciences were there to talk about research opportunities available to students. Open labs were conducted throughout the week as a way of peeking student’s interests in research. The Water Chemistry lab was open to students to see the advanced equipment available for students conducting research. The College of Engineering and Computer Science had an open house for the Nanomaterials and Sensors laboratory. Praveen Sekhar runs the lab and is currently researching the creation of gas sensors with a focus on environmental pollution. During Research Week the Nanomaterials and Sensors Lab displayed modern technology used to engineer minuscule sensors and devices sensors. WSU Vancouver Proposal Coordinator Lynda Olin helps students obtain grants for their research. Olin also works with faculty members to help fund research they are pursuing. “What I would recommend to students is that they start with their faculty advisor in their discipline,” Olin said for those students wondering where to start their research journey. The goal of Research Week was to encourage students to develop their own research while at WSU Vancouver. Another display of student conducted research will be held during the spring semester Research Showcase. 10/29/18 6:22 PM

Patriot Prayer protests initiative 1639 on Clark College and WSU Vancouver campuses, raising tensions Cameron Kast Nikki Johnson Bailley Simms

Reporter Copy Editor Editor-In-Chief

MONDAY OCT. 22 WSU Vancouver was sent into a tailspin after a student-comprised letter circulated around campus last week regarding a group called Patriot Prayer. Even before the group’s scheduled protest on Tuesday Oct. 23, many students feared for their safety and were given the the okay from professors to not attend classes that day. Moriah Gonzales, a humanities major, said she favored peaceful protests, but prefers not to hear from hate groups. The issue was not with the protest itself, according to Gonzales, but instead the risk of violence associated with the protest was her reason for not to attending classes Tuesday. “I don’t necessarily believe there will be violence on campus that day,” said Gonzalez on Monday. “I would rather stay away to avoid the situation altogether, just to be safe.” Senior strategic communication major David Koon said “My education means more to me than the possible actions of a radical or extremist group,” adding, “Nothing will stand between me and my degree.” On Monday evening in FSC 104, a small gathering of students took part in “Having Our Say: Creating banners of inclusion and solidarity.” The event, organized by Sky Wilson and Shameem Rakha, allowed students to paint posters and discuss the anticipated events. The signs, which were placed in the courtyard late Monday night contained phrases such as “Love not hate” and “Cougars want peace.” Signs made by WSU Vancouver students and staff on Monday, Oct. 22 ahead of the Patriot Prayer visit.

TUESDAY OCT. 23 Signs from the Monday night event awaited the planned demonstration Tuesday morning, along with additional security from Vancouver Police Department and the Clark County Sheriff’s office. Several students chose not to attend classes in light of the events and some faculty cancelled classes or provided alternative class arrangements, such as online lectures. The campus was pretty eerie, according to Koon, adding that not many people were in his classes. Like Koon, senior strategic communication major Kenny White was another one of the few students at the protest. White said he agreed with the studentorganized letter in terms of student safety being important and because of it, didn’t expect many students to show up to the protest. “I hope the other groups who are violent don’t come,” White said. Around 11 a.m. students, staff and community members gathered around the Firstenberg Family Fountain on campus in anticipation for Patriot Prayer’s visit. Robert West, who identifies as a “cop watcher,” that records and documents police presence at protests attended the event. He said he was there to “support Joey Gibson.” Police stationed themselves at building entrances around the WSU Vancouver courtyard. Group leader Joey Gibson and more Patriot Prayer protestors arrived on campus around 12 p.m. Once on campus the group passed out pamphlets and literature advertising to vote no on Washington State Initiative 1639 which imposes stricter gun laws. Near 12:30 p.m. following a Gibson’s speech, Tusitala “Tiny” Toese, another prominent member of Patriot Prayer, stood on the rock wall surrounding the quad and spoke. A plane can’t fly without both wings, Toese paraphrased when discussing the relationship between liberals and conservatives. The protesters left before their scheduled endtime around 2:00 p.m. with police following after. “There were no incidents,” Commander Michael McCabe of the Clark County Sheriff’s office said.

On Wednesday, classes resumed as expected. Patriot Prayer returned to Clark College which had been closed on Monday due to the group’s visit. Clark College remained open on Wednesday and the protest went without any abnormal incidents. Students remained quiet with regards to Tuesday’s demonstration when back on campus Wednesday. With signs in the courtyard removed and classes operating as normal, WSU Vancouver operated as usual. On Sunday, Oct. 28, WSU Vancouver adjunct professor Elizabeth Hovde wrote an opinion article in The Oregonian with the headline

“The misunderstood Joey Gibson” regarding the group’s visit to WSU Vancouver. “For two hours, I watched challenging, inquisitive, respectful conversations happening on the campus plaza between people of different political persuasions.” Hovde wrote. “Instead of the violence predicted, [Joey] Gibson brought something we need more of: talk that leads to increased understanding about opposing thoughts and the people behind them. It was the kind of conversation that helps people find common ground.”

Pumpkin spice and everything nice The pumpkin spice phenomenon has branched out beyond the typical “Pumpkin Spice Latte� into seemingly every food available. Here’s reporter Sofia’s ranking of pumpkin spice flavored food and Cameron’s two favorite pumpkin recipies.

The Pumpkin Spice Latte (#PSL)

With the pumpkin spice hype, you might think it is overrated, however, #PSL lives up to the expectations. The flavors mix well, the whipped cream and the sprinkle of cinnamon brings you into the taste of the season. While #PSL is a great drink, it can feel rather “heavy.� As someone who drinks coffee every day, I would consider it more of a treat. Pro tip: A peppermint mocha mixed with one pump of pumpkin spice syrup is a great alternative to the regular pumpkin spice latte.

Pumpkin Spice Cake Not feeling a ton of ingredients? My mom introduced me to an extremely easy pumpkin spice cake recipe. Ingredients: • 1 box of spice cake mix • 1 15-ounce can of pumpkin

Rating: đ&#x;Žƒđ&#x;Žƒđ&#x;Žƒđ&#x;Žƒ

After getting these two ingredients, bake the spice cake and substitute the eggs and oil for canned pumpkin. If you’re feeling something a little sweeter, add a cream cheese frosting to compliment the spicy flavors.

Pumpkin Spice Oreos

Pumpkin spice flavored filling, sandwiched between two vanilla oreo cookies. With these seasonal Oreos, the crème is more sugar than spice, leading to an overwhelming amount of sugar after eating too many. The overall rating for pumpkin spice Oreos is unsatisfying.

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds My favorite fall snack that also includes carving a pumpkin. Ingredients:

Rating: đ&#x;Žƒđ&#x;Žƒ

Pumpkin Spice Tea

I tried pumpkin chai tea from David’s Tea. While this is technically not pumpkin spice, it is pumpkin flavored and amazing. The loose-leaf tea includes black tea and caramel, making it both sweet and rich. The tea tastes like a fresh pumpkin pie. Add some milk and this tea could be confused for significantly less sweet PSL. This was by far the most natural of all the pumpkin spice flavors I tasted and is a great daily alternative for someone who wants the PSL to last all season long.

• Fresh pumpkin seeds • Olive oil • Salt & other preferred spices

First carve out a pumpkin to get the seeds. Clean as much of the pumpkin goo off of the seeds as possible with a strainer and water and let the seeds sit on a baking sheet overnight. This is important so the seeds dry out. If the seeds do not dry out, they will not bake correctly. The next day, toss the seeds in olive oil and salt and any other spices (I like to add a little cajun to it). Then roast them in the oven at 350 degrees fahrenheit until they’re golden brown. Enjoy!
