letter from the editor
Hi there, If you are joining us mid-year as a transfer student, let me introduce myself: my name is Anna Nelson and I am the editor-in-chief of The VanCougar. Whether you are brand new or a seasoned VanCoug, I would like to give you a mid-year update on The VanCougar. 2019 has proven a difficult year for our organization. Perhaps the most significant challenge to The VanCougar has been the resignation of our adviser, Raul Moreno. Moreno served as the student media adviser for four years and brought much influence to the student media organizations at WSU Vancouver: Koug Radio, the Salmon Creek Journal and The VanCougar. He was the first dedicated student media adviser at WSU Vancouver.
“In my November resignation letter to the Student Media Board, I also point to the need for the board to examine its own representation in terms of diversity, and over the long term, its mission and relationships with faculty,” Moreno said. “It's been a wonderful, adventurous fourplus years that I will always remember fondly.” Despite these challenging circumstances, The VanCougar is still set on telling your stories, serving as a watchdog to the campus and reporting the truth. If you read my letter at the beginning of the year, you know my goal is to facilitate campus conversations. I still need your help to accomplish this goal. In a political and social climate where difficult conversations are hard to navigate, I challenge you to talk about the hard stuff, because that’s what is important. If you have a story worth sharing, the submission form is located on CougSync. If you are interested in joining our fun, hard-working team, we are hiring for reporters, a photographer and an advertising manager — the application is also on CougSync. Please, come say hi, we would love to show you around our little office, located in VDEN 160. And of course, keep an eye out for The VanCougar, on stands monthly, and the newswire, in inboxes weekly! Go Cougs,
In his resignation letter, Moreno cited the need for the student media adviser position to be extended to a full-time job, instead of the part-time position it is currently. Moreno encouraged WSU Vancouver in his letter of resignation to consider revamping student media to be more supportive of its leaders and therefore better serving the student body.

This mother-daughter duo is living out a real-life scenario of “An Extremely Goofy Movie,� with both of them enrolled in the same college major.
T
he college experience is certainly unique for WSU Vancouver students, especially for Junelle Lawry and Betsy Hanrahan, a mother and daughter duo on campus. Both are juniors majoring in digital technology and culture. Before returning to school, Lawry worked as a media clerk for the Vancouver School District. Lawry decided to return to school after the district made budget cuts and gave her a layoff notice. According to Lawry, she was unsure where to go next considering her work experience. “At that point, I was like, ‘what the hell am I going to do?’” Lawry has multiple degrees, including an associates in behavioral science, a bachelor’s in sociology, a master's in human development and a teaching certificate. After graduating from WSU Vancouver, she will have a second bachelor’s degree in digital technology and culture. “I’m a learner,” Lawry said, “the reality is, I keep going back to school because I like learning.” Lawry explained that after attending a transfer night at WSU Vancouver, she learned it was “relatively easy” to earn a second bachelor’s degree. This solidified her decision to return to school, viewing it as an opportunity to “rebrand,” according to Lawry. Lawry laughed when recalling her first college experience, saying it was extremely different and that, “it was a long time ago.” “I actually learned how to type on one of those big black typewriters that you had to load paper in,” Lawry said. On her current academic journey, Lawry explained she has learned a lot from her kids and they occasionally help her with homework. “I’m her tutor,” Lawry’s daughter, Hanrahan said. “She asks me for help on different projects and in exchange, I get crackers and hummus.”

“The reality is, I keep going back to school because I like learning.” — Junelle Lawry According to Hanrahan, when she learned her mom would be a fellow student, she was surprised. “I was like, oh, God, I’m going to have my mom in all of my classes,” Hanrahan said. The pair said that the first time they crossed paths on campus was awkward because Hanrahan was giving a group of students a tour of the campus as a student ambassador. Lawry explained, “I didn’t know whether to say ‘hi’ or pretend I didn’t know her.” Hanrahan added that it is always fun when she introduces her mom to a group of classmates and friends. “They have to figure out if I’m a cool mom or not,” Lawry explained. The two occasionally cross paths on campus and while they do not currently have any of the same classes, they are looking forward to having classes together for the first time in the 2020 spring semester. Hanrahan said, “I’m excited to get a better grade than she does.” “And she will,” added Lawry. Hanrahan and her mom, Lawry, laugh about their unique position on campus. (Sydnie Kobza/

January 2020 A WSU Vancouver club hopes to use teamwork to race through the finish line. The Formula VanCougs aspire to construct a race car from scratch and participate in the national Formula Society of Automotive Engineers competition in June 2021.
Olivia Eldredge | Reporter
Formula Vancougs brings together all majors to build a formula race car for competition in 2021.
Influenced by the Pullman formula team, Wazzu Racing, Formula Vancougs was established roughly two years ago. Club president and electrical engineering junior, Curtis Haley, said they received an internal combustion frame from the Pullman team, which inspired the club’s establishment on the Vancouver campus. Haley explained that the club might have to rebuild the frame but, “it was a good piece to draw people to our club, to be interested in what they can actually build.” The club intends to present a thoroughly tested, functional vehicle within the next two years for the national Formula SAE competition. The competition takes place in California, where hundreds of collegiate teams gather to test their vehicles. Duncan Marks, vice president of Formula Vancougs and junior mechanical engineering major said, “We’re taking a two year cycle to do it, because it’s actually a yearly thing. We’re taking it a little slower so that we can do it right, and learn everything we need to know.” Much of the process that goes into building a race car has to do with research and testing. Currently, Formula VanCougs are working on design. “I think half the project is just designing the car and half the project is building the car,” Haley said.

January 2020 The national Formula SAE competition requires teams to adhere to specific regulations in the published rule manual. Teams are expected to understand each aspect presented and produce work efficiently.

Formula Vancougs is planning an endurance test to ensure proper function. “We’re going to make a large sphere and try to roll it around the track, it’s gonna be like a big blob. And that will give us our energy constraints because we have to meet a certain amount of endurance to actually qualify for some parts of the race,” Haley said. Marks explained that most team members have not worked on an electrical system as large as this car before. “We need to figure out all these different constraints and how we can build things to fit into that rulebook. Because, if it doesn’t fit, then we can’t compete,” Marks said. Communication lead for the club, Shane McCormick, a junior strategic communications major, said Formula Vancougs is not only about engineering, but also the publicity, fundraising and business aspects that surround the construction of a race car. “The rest of us are operating like a small business. We’re trying to figure out how to get started, gain chemistry together, but were also trying to raise money and actually get our club off the ground,” McCormick said. Many parts needed to build a race car are expensive and the club hopes to gain sponsorships from local and national engineering companies to fund their endeavors.
Formula Vancougs hope to raise a minimum of $30,000 to fund their club within the next year. They estimate this will cover the cost of materials needed to construct a working combustion race car. McCormick explained that WSU Vancouver has funds set aside to support clubs, but their funding will not suffice their expenses. To help raise money, the club is sending out letters to people in the industry that have donated to SAE clubs in the past. “We just have to see how that initial round goes and either be happy with it, or amp up our efforts,” McCormick said. Additionally, Formula Vancougs want to establish their own working space at WSU Vancouver. The racecar frame is currently stored in a club member’s garage, but they hope to have a work-oriented area on campus to begin assembly.
Marks said, “The cool thing about having a shop on campus would be the community aspect of it, where it could really help build the team into a more cohesive unit between all of the different subteams and majors that are working as part of the club. It could really help be that one unifying spot. That’s why that’s such a big goal for us.” In addition to the members of the club who have mechanical or electrical engineering experience, Formula Vancougs welcomes all majors to participate. “It doesn’t matter if you are an electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, fine arts major [or] education major. We’ll find a way that you can become a valuable member of our team,” McCormick said. “We’re going to raise money, we’re going to build a car and everybody has to do their little part to make that happen,” McCormick said.

Senior class partners with City of Vancouver January 2020
Brody Voge | Reporter
Senior year at WSU typically involves A semester-long a capstone class, which entails a large final project. Capstone projects project in WSU can vary from presentations, a Vancouver’s research paper or work for external digital businesses and organizations.
technology and culture senior seminar class designs an interactive app for the City of
In fall 2019, DTC seniors partnered with the City of Vancouver. The class worked on expanding an app previously created by former WSU Vancouver senior seminar students. The goal of this project was to spread awareness of Vancouver Parks and Recreation and inspire community engagement.
TC
Vancouver.
For WSU Vancouver digital technology and culture seniors, the capstone class is called senior seminar. In this class, students work on a semesterlong project for a local organization.
The course instructor was DTC program director and professor, Dene Grigar. Grigar earned her doctorate in interactive art, is a published author, a curator of exhibits in various venues and has a background in coaching girls basketball, which has impacted her style of teaching.
While everyone in the class works together, Grigar builds small teams within the class to simulate job-like environments. She constructs these teams by identifying her students, “superpowers,” as she and her students like to call them. “Our program is very prominent in town, people know us and we’ve done a lot of projects. We’re all over the place. Part of our whole program is outreach and building the brain trust for this community. Our students live here and work here,” Grigar said. The teams in the class are divided into categories of development, design, promotions, video and assets. Throughout the fall semester, the class began to expand the capabilities of the City of Vancouver’s small app, developing new content for the app and building a detailed instruction manual on everything they developed.
She said with her background, Grigar sees herself as more of a coach or mentor rather than just a professor.
Gary Langan, a student in senior seminar, described the experience as an opportunity for him to come out of his shell. Langan said before the class, he tried to just do his part in group projects. However, for this project, he was selected as the lead for the design team.
Every year Grigar arranges a project for her upcoming senior class. This project not only includes some kind of community partner, but centers the core value as the whole class working together as one team.
“For past group projects I’ve always just wanted to be a part of the team, I don’t want to be the person that’s in charge of the team. It’s been interesting, everyone I’ve talked to says I’ve definitely come out of my shell,” Langan said.
Langan’s team focused on building the app for the users, designing the layout and making sure it was coherent with City of Vancouver’s website, down to the font they used. After development, teams submitted their designs to the City of Vancouver’s representative for approval or feedback. “It’s definitely been a challenge, but it’s a welcomed one because it’s preparation for the real world,” Langan said. One design component Langan said he is most proud of is the logo he personally designed that will be seen at the startup of the app. Another team lead for the DTC senior seminar class is Isabella Guetter, lead of the promotions sector. Guetter explained that her biggest focus for this project was developing a catalog of content. Guetter and her team developed the catalog for social media and online-use for the City of Vancouver. According to Guetter, the City of Vancouver was hesitant to focus on social media promotion in the app, but their team demonstrated the need for it. The team created illustrations, photos and videos to promote the app on social media. The promotions team’s catalog has three months worth of planned posts for social media to help build engagement from the community.
“The biggest thing our class focused on was accessibility,” Guetter said while explaining that one of the parks the app will be promoting is currently being reconstructed to be fully wheelchair accessible.

Although the app will demonstrate what will be at the park using 3D modeling, Guetter explained some of the features that will be available after the park’s construction. “Even once the parks are built, there’s still scavenger hunt games, interactive maps and trivia games.” Grigar hopes there is more to take away from her program than just getting a job. She wants her students to leave her program with mindfulness of their actions and confidence in themselves to go after their interests. “Being mindful of everything we do. Living not just in the present but being present in your life and thinking about the future and how the past impacts that,” Grigar said.

Cougs lose on and off the Field Brody Voge | Reporter It was a week of rivalry across the state as Washington State University (6-7) took on the University of Washington (8-5) on Nov. 29 in the Apple Cup. This marked the seventh consecutive lost against Coug’s in-state rivals, UW, and what followed the game brought more attention to the Coug’s shortcomings. In 13 plays, the Cougars marched down the field and scored the opening touchdown of the match. After a Husky possession that stalled after three attempts, the Cougars had a chance to take a two-score lead. Instead, there were only three plays and a punt to give the ball back to UW. The Huskies continued forward, scoring a touchdown that tied the game at the end of the first quarter. The Cougars answered the Huskies’ scoring drive with a field goal. This was the Cougar’s final lead of the game. In the second half, the Huskies outscored the Cougars 10 to three for a final score of 31 to 13. What was mostly a one-sided game led to a postgame press conference that received almost as much attention as the match itself. WSU’s head coach, Mike Leach, was asked how the Huskies have managed to maintain dominance during Leach’s tenure with the Cougars. In his response, Leach explained that every year of his tenure, the Huskies have had a higher ranked recruiting class by national media than the Cougar’s. “As fast as you guys rank [the Huskies] recruiting class in the top 10 and then you’re always surprised when they win,” Leach said. Sports columnist John Blanchette of the Spokesmen Review of Spokane asked Leach if having a lesser ranked recruiting class meant the Cougs were not supposed to beat the higher-ranked teams.
“Well we certainly have before, we didn’t win this one and I don’t care to have a big discussion on it because I really don’t care what you think,” Leach said. Leach Blanchette

continued, referring as a “sanctimonious
to troll.”
“—you run your little column and stuff like some sanctimonious troll, where you’ve never been fair or even-handed with us, so I really don’t care what you think. OK, go ahead, because you’re going to write some really nasty stuff like you always do. And I don’t know which Coug way back when did something that offended you, but I don’t really care about that either. If you can live your little meager life in your hole and write nasty things and that makes you feel even, you go right ahead,” Leach said. Following Leach’s comments, the Washington State Association of Broadcasters & the Allied Daily Newspapers of Washington sent a letter to WSU President Kirk Schulz and WSU Athletic Director Pat Chun. The letter was written by WSU alumnus Keith Shipman, calling Leach’s words unprofessional and uncalled for and asking that Leach offer Blanchette a public apology. It condemned Leach’s action towards Blanchette while noting he was representing a public institution of higher learning. On Dec. 5, less than a week after the Apple Cup, WSU athletics announced a provision had been made to Leach’s contract which will extend him through the 2024 football season. Both Shulz and Chun made no comment regarding Leach’s actions toward Blanchette. Reported by the Lewiston Tribune, Leach does not think he owes anyone an apology and said, “I have no regrets whatsoever.”

While many celebrate with family and friends over a hot meal during the holiday season, some are not that lucky. Meant to be a time of joy and cheer, the holidays pose major challenges to many people, including students. VanCougs give back to other VanCougs and community members with Noel Christmas, during this financially-challenging time of year. On Dec. 14, Cougs in the Community, a program designed to help students connect to community engagement opportunities, partnered with Manor Evangelical Church to host their annual event titled, Noel Christmas. The event consists of providing a Christmas experience by giving 20 families a hot meal, presents, coats, wreaths and a family photo. Elizabeth Becker, WSU Vancouver’s development and alumni relations coordinator, explained how these events highlight the need for student engagement in the community and how this partnership impacts WSU Vancouver families and others in need. “I think it’s 85% of our students are in some sort of financial need basis, and we have the food pantry on campus, but that doesn’t always give everything that the families need. So, I think having this experience shows that there are other people that are out there who want to help our students and community… There’s people that care about them and there’s other resources too,” Becker said.

Evangelical Church (Emily Baumann/The VanCougar) when she recognized there was a need for helping college students during the holiday season. Crume shared her past experiences of struggling to provide for her family while she was still in school. “I was a college student. I had a child and I had to choose between education or my children, rent, bills and Christmas,” Crume said. She explained that she wondered how other struggling families compared to her when it came to dealing with Christmas and children. “I really prayed about it and this vision came to me. It was the Noel project,” Crume said. According to Crume, Noel Christmas originally started to help WSU Vancouver students in need, but has since reached the Battle Ground community. Riana Vincent, WSU Vancouver’s alumni coordinator and former student, explained how giving back to the community shaped her family’s holiday experience.

"It’s one of my favorite things to do. Just giving back and helping the community is really important to me. It’s also really important to teach my kids how to do that and there are opportunities and options for people that need help or ways to give back,” Vincent said. According to Becker, Cougs in the Community reported they will be hosting several events throughout the year to provide opportunities for WSU Vancouver students to give back. They plan to continue to grow a support system for their fellow students and community members.

What VanCougs Should Know About Inclement Weather Brody Voge | Reporter
A
s winter approaches, students and faculty are preparing for the harsh weather that the Pacific Northwest is known for. WSU Vancouver has a number of staff members on-call to ensure the campus remains open during inclement weather. Predicting weather outcomes can be difficult, which is why WSU Vancouver’s facility services are assigned to respond to these cases any hour of the day. Bill Hooper, vice chancellor of facility services explained that during harsh weather, facility services' shifts are temporarily adjusted as needed. Hooper said that one of the reasons the campus rarely closes due to weather is because WSU Vancouver finds closing disruptive. “We have a good reputation of being very responsive in the event of extreme weather,” Hooper said. The faculty is dedicated to keeping the campus open year round. Hooper explained that during previous inclement weather, some faculty members volunteered to sleep on campus to address the hazardous weather expected to fall. “[Workers] also have to make a personal decision in regard to their own safety,” Hooper said, regarding faculty’s safety commuting to campus.

WSU Vancouver Public Safety Officer Jeannette Hurt is one of the employees that has chosen to sleep on campus to fight against conditions that could lead to campus closure. According to Hurt, she has slept on campus multiple times. “If I left, there’s no telling anyone to come back in,” Hurt explained. Hurt said WSU Vancouver public safety officers have a sleeping cot ready, in case of extreme weather. Timing is a major element in determining if extreme weather will pose a challenge or not, according to Hooper. If snow falls in the early afternoon, it is harder to deal with, due to the increased traffic from students and faculty. Hooper said if snow falls later in the evening, it is easier to manage because of the quick response of facility services and public safety at WSU Vancouver. The WSU Vancouver inclement weather policy states that students and faculty must take personal safety into account in the event of inclement weather. The policy was created by factoring in the various micro-climates students and faculty commute from. The policy states instructors should not penalize students for missing class due to hazardous weather and Hooper advises students to communicate with their professors in the event of inclement weather.

Cougar Bites: New Year's Edition
January is a month for new beginnings, a fresh start to incorporating New Year's resolutions. According to Business Insider, eating healthier was the top New Year’s resolution made last year.
Emily Baumann| Reporter
The VanCougar found four healthy on-the-go snack ideas to make sticking to New Year’s resolutions easier for busy students.
Dried Fruit
Protein Bars
Nuts Tasty, convenient and a good source of protein, nuts are an excellent snack. Fan favorite nuts include almonds, cashews, walnuts, pecans and pistachios. Easy nut recipes can vary widely, from trail mix to numerous fruit pairings. All nuts pack good amounts of healthy fats and antioxidants, making this versatile snack delicious and filled with nutritional benefits.
Protein is essential to sustain your energy throughout the day. This is why protein bars make a great choice for healthy snacking. Not only do protein bars contain copious amounts of protein, but they also are packed with a sufficient amount of carbs, making you feel fuller throughout the day. Unfortunately, many protein bars include added sugars, so make sure you read the nutrition label before putting them in your shopping cart. According to Eatingwell. com, healthier brands include Epic, Lärabar and RXbBar. Protein is proven to increase metabolism rates, helping you burn more calories while building and maintaining muscle, according to nutritionists at Healthline.
Veggies and Hummus This savory snack can be indulged without feeling guilt and leave you feeling satisfied. Veggies that pair well with the chickpea-based dip include carrots, celery, sweet potatoes and bell peppers, but any of your favorite vegetables should pair well with hummus. This genius combination’s texture leaves you with something crunchy paired with something creamy. According to Consumer Reports, hummus has also been proven to offer key nutrients such as calcium and magnesium and reduces the risk of cancers and heart disease.
Dry fruit not only offers rich fiber, vitamins and minerals, it can hinder the temptations of a sweet tooth. Some dried fruits, like raisins, are high in fiber, potassium and other plant compounds. Although dry fruit contains a lot of sugar, according to nutritionists at Healthline, this snack can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol when eaten in moderation.
The common New Year's resolution of eating healthier can be intimidating and for many students' busy lifestyles, hard to achieve. Use these healthy snack ideas in your diet to help get you started on the right path.
