No Comments [Iss. 7] || What’s Next? Looking into the Future of McKendree University
BY BRITTANY ANSPACH
Staff Writer
In the past two years McKendree has welcomed the biggest classes in the college’s history. Like many other students, I wonder, what’s next?
Due to the number of students being accepted to the university, the campus will continue to grow to accommodate the needs of the growing student body. In recent years, McKendree has built a new resident building and rented other apartment buildings and housing to help provide lodging for its students. The school also added a new fitness center and plans are in the works for an updated science building, renovations to the library, and an athletic and recreational building for students and trainers.
On a bigger scale, McKendree has come a long way. When the college started in 1828, it was called Lebanon Seminary and the ...

No Comments [Iss. 7] || Student Taylor Simmons Provides Insight on Athletic Training
BY BRITANI BEASLEY
Staff Writer
Taylor Simmons, a junior at McKendree University, is an athletic training major with a minor in sport psychology. Simmons is also a student Ambassador and a Lyn Huxford Center for Community Service Scholar/ McCat Member.
When asked why she chose athletic training she said, “I chose athletic training because I have always wanted to pursue a medical degree and help others. When I was injured at a University of Illinois softball camp, I had to be seen by the attending athletic trainer. I asked about her job and what she was doing; I knew instantly that was what I wanted to be.”
I then asked what the toughest part of being an athletic trainer was, and she responded, “I think that the toughest part of being an athletic training student is time and stress manageme...

BY NATALIE VAN BOOVEN
Staff Writer
The University of Missouri Board of Curators has authorized changes to the UM system’s Title IX procedures.
On Oct. 2, UM curators met in Kansas City, Mo. and approved changes presented by Pres. Tim Wolfe. The most prominent of these changes is an investigation period of 60 days; others include changes as to how students and student organizations can file complaints. Initially, the executive order sent in April. by Wolfe on this issue compelled all UM employees to report Title IX violations—the actual term is mandated reporter—but exemptions were soon made for employees with legal requirements or privileges of confidentiality, such as counselors and lawyers.
Title IX refers to the 1972 law forbidding sex-based discrimination in “any education program o...

No Comments [Iss. 7] || Becoming a College Graduate: Stressors Concerning Your Final Semester of College
BY BRITTANY ANSPACH
Staff Writer
Many students are in or about to start their final semester at McKendree University. As one of those students, I definitely have many thoughts about what happens after graduation and I’m sure I am not alone.
When senior Michelle Allen was about her feelings in regards to her final semester of college, she said, “I feel stressed about going through the whole process of graduate applications making sure I make the deadlines. [I am] worried that I do not know where I’ll be a year from now.”
The choice between graduate school and getting a job in the “real world” weighs heavily on the minds of many students. Both choices come with positives and negatives. Graduate school comes with a lengthy admissions process, interviews and heavy course work. Joining the wor...

No Comments [Iss. 7] || Encouraging McKendree Students to Consider Graduating Early
BY KIMBERLY BENNETT
Editor-in-Chief
The last three and a half years of college at McKendree University have not been easy, but they were well worth it. When I started college as a freshman in fall 2011, I honestly had no idea what I was going to do. Because the importance of knocking down general education requirements was not explained nor specified very well, I ended up registering for classes I had wanted to take as opposed to classes I should have taken. My first semester of college was frustrating to no end. I remember feeling as though my time spent at McKendree was wasted – especially because I could not make up my mind as to what I wanted to do in life.
I am sure other students have faced this frustration as well.
To make up for my “wasted” semester, I took three classes at Southw...

No Comments [Iss. 7] || Life Lessons Learned while Traveling with the Team
BY JACOB SCHLOTE
Staff Writer
Do you ever wonder what it’s like to go on trips with college teams? To get on a charter bus with everyone and sit for long periods before arriving at a hotel with little leisure time to spare? Sports trips are generally lots of fun from my experience, but they have some disadvantages. Some people think athletes mess around, goof off and miss class. However, everything isn’t always what it seems. While trips can be fun for athletes, the fact that we have to miss class sometimes hinders us if we are not prepared. For instance, as a hockey player, I have considerable experience missing classes for hockey games away from Lebanon. Other students may have different experiences of their team traveling and have different opinions about missing classes.

No Comments [Iss. 6] || McKendree University Responds to Hate Crime on Campus
BY CHELSEY WHEELER
Contributing Writer
Last month, the community of McKendree University was shocked by the e-mail announcement informing the campus that one of our fellow students had recently been the victim of hate crimes - criminal acts which are motivated by biases against someone’s gender, race, ethnicity, appearance, religion, sexual orientation or perceived membership in other stigmatized social groups. The female student involved was targeted twice in sexually explicit and racially prejudiced incidents that are believed to have been motivated by her involvement in Confront the Roots, a new student organization at McKendree dedicated to encourage open communication about black/white racial issues. Public safety was notified that she was verbally assaulted on campus and shortly ther...
