Welcome to Bearcat Nation! You’re beginning a journey that places you among more than 70,000 Northwest alumni and friends, and you’ll soon dis-cover why the phrase “Once a Bearcat, Always a Bearcat” has such deep meaning to all of us.

Fall is an exciting time at Northwest as we welcome new and returning students to our beautiful campus and Maryville community. You and your fellow students are what make Northwest such a vibrant organization, and we are committed to focusing on your success – every day.

I realize that it can be intimidating to start life at a new school, but one of the many great things Northwest offers is a wide range of activities just for students. I encourage you to get involved in any number of our more than 150 student or-ganizations. It’s an ideal way to meet new friends, and research shows the more en-gaged you are, the better your chances are for success.

Of course, you came to college to fur-ther your education. Our professors care immensely about your success. Ask ques-tions. Be engaged. You’ll soon find out that our unique hands-on learning ex-periences, caring faculty and small class sizes mean you will master your course material while finding lifelong mentors in your professors.

By selecting Northwest, you’ve also become an integral part of a tradition of excellence. From nationally-recognized academic and athletic achievements to award-winning student organizations and volunteer opportunities, Northwest students, faculty and staff never cease to amaze me, and I certainly look forward to seeing all that you and your classmates accomplish during your time at North-west – and beyond.

I also want you to know that your feedback about life at Northwest is im-portant to me. As you see me around campus, please don’t hesitate to say hello

and visit with me about how we can en-hance your Northwest experience.

At Northwest, we are committed to helping you succeed. Take hold, get in-volved, and experience the many benefits of being a Bearcat.

With Green and White Pride,

Dr. John JasinskiPresident

Welcome new Bearcats,My name is Riley Ziemer and

as the 90th Student Senate presi-dent, I’m happy to welcome you to the Northwest family. Being new on campus, you will have access to all of the great things Northwest Missouri State has to offer. As a new student, you have the oppor-tunity to get involved in over 150 different organizations. One of the organizations I suggest is Student Senate.

Student Senate has a lot to offer, including the opportunity to have a vote that influences the direction of this great University. Some other activities of Senate are helping or-ganizations, fighting for student causes, planning events, organizing blood drives, meeting legislators in Jefferson City and above all being the voice for fellow students.

I encourage you to check out our meetings this fall. Senate meets in the J.W. Jones Student Union boardroom at 7p.m. Tuesdays. Senate is a great way to gain lead-ership experience and can give you an opportunity to work with a lot of individuals. The body consists of senators and associate senators from all walks of life. Many differ-ent majors and personalities are

represented.To find more information on

the Student Senate, find us online under the Campus Life tab on the homepage. Like us on Facebook by searching Student Senate and you can also follow us on Twitter at @nwsenate.

As a business management and marketing major, I’ve held several roles, including sophomore class representative, treasurer, and 90th Student Senate president. I encour-age you to check us out and explore other organizations on campus. Joining an organization is a way great way to meet friends, have fun and unlock your potential.

I hope you spend the next cou-ple of years enjoying your experi-ences. Remember to make smart decisions and take pride in your time here. I hope all of you enjoy your time and again, welcome to the Northwest family.

Welcome to college boys and girls—the most important four to five, maybe even six years of your life. Buckle your seat belts, brace yourself and grab a hel-met because life is bound to get tough. Other than that, enjoy the ride.

Now, your parents are sure to tell you that the most important thing to accomplish while you are here is get as close to a 4.0 GPA as possible. I don’t want to create an army of underachiev-ers, nor do I want nasty phone calls from your parents, but take it from a fairly successful C student with a lot on his plate—your GPA is only one piece of the puzzle. By all means, do your best to get the grades you and your employers will want, but don’t waste your equally important college experience in the li-brary or locked in your room full of text-books.

In case you’re a tad slow, I’m saying make sure you’re involved. Meet peo-ple, get involved and try new things… I mean, YOLO.

With that said, be smart about what

you do here. The decisions you make will stick with you through your four, five or six years. Honestly, your expe-riences and decisions here will stick with you past your graduation, so get as much in your repertoire as possible and don’t do anything that will prevent you from moving forward in whatever your career path is.

My next piece of advice is less to help you be a successful student, but just as important as the rest.

This is not high school. The worst thing you could do is come into this new environment like the big man on cam-pus you used to be, or as if you’re a plas-tic from “Mean Girls.” Leave high school where it belongs—in your scrapbook, memories, and the past.

The best thing that will happen to you in college is growing up. It won’t happen overnight, but as long as you embrace the experience, atmosphere and responsibility that is college, it will happen. That’s the natural order of things.

You chose a great place to take the next step toward the ever-feared “real world.” Northwest has a great family at-

mosphere that has kept me around for three years now and offers plenty of op-portunities to get involved on campus while providing real-world experience. If you’ve been following me, the fact that there’s opportunity for involvement is important.

So give Northwest and the people here a chance, come in with an open mind and it’s likely to grow on you. Maybe you’ll end up like me—headed into your last year, ready to take on the “real world” and still in love with Northwest.

Here’s to college, enjoy yourself“By all means, do your best to get the grades

you and your employers will want, but don’t waste

your equally important college experience in

the library.”

Universities such as Northwest pride themselves on traditions and rituals. These artifacts of our existence contribute to the very identity of this institution and are exalted as attributes of its character. For uncovering some of the trivial legends – Mike the Dog, the not-so-cursed cen-ter of the Bell Tower – Wikipedia is your friend. But Northwest’s most legendary historical icons are much like classic art: well-known, well-loved and containing a certain organic quality that makes them seem alive even to this day.

The Kissing Bridge starts this list for obvious reasons: it is one of Northwest’s most beloved icons, a surviving pheno-type of a bygone chivalry. Rumor has it that a female student is not a coed unless she is kissed on this bridge before the first snowfall. The Kissing Bridge is most like the “Mona Lisa.” It is famous to the point of being generic and loved to the point of being ignored. But both are still irrefutably great.

Coming up next is the Hickory Stick, the traveling football trophy between Northwest and Truman State Univer-sity. It is truly just a stick inscribed with game scores between the schools for more than a century. At first blush, this classic sporting rivalry seems about as typically American as Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup Can pieces. But their simplicity and accessibility are what make both of these classics.

Walk-Out Day was originally a cam-pus-wide protest that came about when students rang the Bell of ’48 to signal a

day of relaxation and social time in lieu of classes. It is not unlike the classic portrait of George Washington crossing the Dela-ware – a portrayal of a struggle somehow framed more as noble valor than the gritty fight for freedom that it truly was. The painting has transcended the aesthetic utility of art and has become a founda-tional document. Similarly, Walk-Out Day is a fiercely defended image of Northwest’s identity.

The Stroller has been a tradition since 1918, when a student anonymously submitted snarky observations to the campus newspaper. For better or worse, it has grown significantly since then, be-coming a regular column in The North-west Missourian, but the author still re-mains a mystery. The Stroller can seem a bit like the Dada art movement – anti-art for anti-art’s sake – yet it is perceived as art nonetheless. Irreverent but not irrel-evant, irritating but not irrational, The Stroller today exists more as a Picasso: a skewed (and often lewd) yet poignant reflection of the dark underbelly of our culture.

Maryville once held the record for World’s Shortest St. Patrick’s Day Parade, hosted by The Palms. Even though the title was recently taken away, the parade retains a venerable charm such as that of “American Gothic.” It is loved not despite its campy, Midwest mediocrity, but be-cause of it.

The parades of Northwest and Maryville, and many of the traditions listed above, remain as some of the truest and most unadulterated examples of folk celebration around. Embrace them if you want to embrace Northwest.

Northwest makes traditions an artform

The Kissing Bridge is located outside of Colden Hall. The belief is that if you recive a kiss on the Kissing Bridge before the first snow fall of your freshmen year, you are a true Bearcat.

Hello freshmen, transfer stu-dents and new students alike, you are in luck. Here at The Missou-rian, we’ve discovered the golden goose of college—five secrets to success at Northwest.

As they always say, first im-pressions are important, so on your first day, in your first class, take the first step toward success and sit in the T. The T is classified as the front row and middle two rows. Students who sit in the T tend to do better than others in the class.

Make sure to visit with your professors—not in a grade-school, teacher’s pet way and not in a weird, stereotypical student-professor relationship way. Show that you really care about your grade though, and the class that you’re taking. Professors appreci-ate when students take initiative. Not to mention, halfway through the semester when you get into a

pickle or aren’t getting the grade you want, your professor might be more inclined to help you out and point you in the right direction.

Get involved, whether that be in your residence hall with Resi-dence Hall Association, joining one or two student organizations or even forming a study group with classmates—a la “Commu-nity” anyone? Knowing people around campus does you nothing but good, keeps you sane and in the know; plus, knowing people in your classes can come in handy if you happen to miss a class or just aren’t understanding the topics.

Take advantage of the Supple-mental Instruction. Offered in classes that have a high fail rate, SIs are a great way to either catch up on missed class time, get some extra help on a topic or help pre-pare you for an upcoming test.

Maybe the most important thing to remember is eliminat-ing distractions. This is college, so there’s bound to be a lot of them. When you’re in class, if you’re likely

to spend your time creeping on Fa-cebook, don’t bring your laptop. If you have a big test that you actually need to study for, don’t do it in your room with the Xbox and your loud roommate, go to the library where you can focus. Most importantly, don’t let those new friends of yours convince you to ditch schoolwork and a down a beer, or two. Trust me, not worth it in the long run.

If you follow these effective yet simple secrets to success, then you are bound to succeed. The Mis-sourian guarantees your success or your money back. Good thing this was free.

An Advanced Biological Psychology class picked apart a sheep brain this year to discover how the brain controls the animals actions.

If you’re going to survive col-lege you need to embrace the fact that we live in a digital age. Have no fear my friends your residen-tial tech geek and self-proclaimed master of the interwebs is here to help you.

First thing’s first, back up your files. Back up your files. Back up your files. Get it? Backing up your files repeatedly will make sure you avoid the horrible flash drive crash the day your paper is due. There are a number of different ways to back up your files so choose the one that best works for you. For most peo-ple Google Docs and Dropbox will suffice. Both services offer at least a couple of gigs of online storage, but if your working with bigger files, investing in an external hard drive is your best bet. Nowadays you can pick up a 1 Terabyte drive for close to $100.

When it comes to how often to back up your files it depends on the person. Some people do it

once a week and some do it once a month. Work with it and figure out what’s best for you and your schedule.

You should also back up your computer every so often. All Macs come with a built in feature called Time Machine that will automati-cally back up your computer and will allow you to restore you com-puter to the state it was in the day it was backed up. Most PCs have a similar feature that does this au-tomatically too, but check to make sure you don’t need to set anything up.

Create a schedule. However, take it to the next level and grab your iPhone or computer and set one up using Google calendar. The great thing about Google calendars is you can check it on any of your devices, whether it’s an iPhone, iPad or computer. Make changes on the fly whenever you need to. You can also set up reminders for homework, meetings, projects, whatever you need. There are other apps you can download to do the same thing on your iPhone

but Google calendars is free and easily accessible on more than the iPhone

Northwest has multiple print-ers located in almost every build-ing on campus. Use these bad boys to your advantage. While most printers are black and white, which is fine for the quick paper print out 5 mins before class, some are color for that extra kick you need for your presentation. Un-fortunately you’ll have to discover those on your own like everyone else. However, if you’ve looked and asked other people where these secret color printers are with no luck, the Mail and Copy Center is the best alternative. It might be a little slow, but they’ll provide some quality color printing as well as a variety of sizes for printing.

The important thing to re-member about your technological devices is to actually explore them. Don’t take them out of the box and use as is. Make them your own and utilize the technology to it’s fullest extent, and college life might just be a bit better.

Raising the stakes and avoiding technological snafus in college

SARAH THOMACKMissourian Reporter

Students looking to get plugged into a campus ministry at North-west have plenty of options. There is something to work with any schedule, denomination and ap-petite.

Just across the street from campus are The Lutheran Campus Center, The Newman Center, The Wesley Student Center and the Christian Campus Center. A short walk from campus on Fourth Street is the Baptist Student Union. Navi-gators, Campus Crusade for Christ, Awaken Ministries and Fellowship of Christian Athletes all meet in various places across campus.

The LCC offers a Fellowship Dinner at 5:30 p.m. every Sunday and Wednesdays in the Word Bible Study at 8:30 p.m.

There is always something go-ing on at the Newman Center, the

Catholic student ministry on cam-pus. Students can hang out at the Newman Center, attend Bible stud-ies during the week and eat home-cooked food at Wednesday night dinners.

Speaking of food, among all of the campus ministries, it is highly likely that a student may find a place to eat homemade food for free or cheap every day of the week. This hypothesis has not been proved, but future students should feel free to conduct experiments.

The Wesley Student Center is the United Methodist ministry on campus and is by the Hudson and Perrin parking lot. Midweek Worship takes place at 9 p.m. on Wednesdays.

The Christian Campus Cen-ter meets at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, for Tuesday Night Thing.

The BSU is the large house on Fourth Street where students meet

at 7 p.m. every Thursday night for RealLife and 6:15 p.m. every Mon-day for Two Dollar Dinner.

Awaken Ministries is a ministry that began in 2011 and meets Mon-days at 8 p.m. in Meeting Room C of the J.W. Jones Student Union. CRU meets at 9 p.m. Thursdays in the Union Ballroom.

Northwest Navigators meet at 8 p.m. on Thursdays at the Station and also have various small groups and Bible studies throughout the week.

Students involved with FCA at their high school can continue to be actively involved at Northwest.

“FCA is a sports-based min-istry designed to help student athletes mature in Christ,” Trevor Nashleanas, Northwest’s FCA area representative, said.

Gamma Alpha Lambda is the Christian sorority on campus. They have weekly meetings, an informal

dance and a formal dance each year and work together to serve the com-munity and campus.

“I love being a part of a sister-hood that has genuine faith and love for each other. I love that we can worship and glorify the Lord

together,” sophomore Hannah Jur-gensen, a member of GAL, said.

There is always something go-ing on during the week within the campus ministries, and incoming students are welcome to explore any and all.

When incoming students ven-ture to Maryville, one of the first things they want to know is what kind of things Maryville has to offer for fun.

The Missourian polled 60 stu-dents concerning activities they do in their spare time and received a variety of answers. Some of the an-swers included activities to do on campus, such as hanging in dorm rooms with friends and participat-ing in SAC Late Night events.

Other than staying in or go-ing out to the bars, answers were received for watching the newest movies at The Hangar, attending Bearcat athletic events, playing ball at the recreation center and spend-ing a weekend at Mozingo Lake.

Gunner Sumy, junior political science major at the University, said he enjoys going to Bearcat Lanes.

“My favorite thing to do in Maryville is hang out with my

friends,” Sumy said. “We are all awful bowlers but enjoy attending our bowling league on Wednesday night.”

Emily Schol, a junior vocal mu-sic education major at the University, said she enjoys going to restaurants for a good time.

“The most fun thing to do in my spare time in Maryville is probably hang out at Applebee’s,” Schol said. “With their late-night deals and trivia night on Tuesday, it’s a good place for me and my friends to just hang out.”

Out of all the answers received, the most popular answer in the poll was to go to Molly’s on Thursday and Friday nights.

Nick Blanks is a senior business management major at the Univer-sity. He agrees with students who chose Molly’s over other Maryville bars for the best time.

“I enjoy Molly’s the most be-cause it has the best DJ in town, and the drink prices are very reasonable,” Blanks said.

EMILY DEMAREAChief Reporter

For being such a small town, Maryville actually has quite a few options for dining. There’s Ap-plebee’s, Papiculos, My Favorite Muffin, Pizza Hut, The Manda-rin, A&G Restaurant, Benelli’s Pizzeria, Carson’s Sports Grille, La Bonita and many more.

The Missourian polled 60 students and faculty about their favorite place to eat and one Maryville favorite won with 44 percent of the total votes. 22 percent of voters agreed Simply Siam and A&G Restaurant were the next best places to dine in Maryville.

“The best place to eat is defi-nitely A&G,” junior Emily Schol, said. “There is something for everyone and it’s a great atmo-sphere, affordable and obviously delicious.”

Following Simply Siam and A&G Restaurant, Pagliai’s Pizza came in forth place for the best places to dine. Other votes were

for Benelli’s, La Bonita and Ap-plebee’s.

For fast food options, stu-dents have a variety to choose from, including McDonald’s, KFC, Burger King, Taco Bell, Taco John’s, Sonic and more. The fast food chain with the most votes was Taco Bell, with a majority of 63 percent of the votes. McDon-ald’s followed Taco Bell with al-most all the rest of the votes.

Overall, the most votes for the best place to eat in Maryville went to Carson’s. Junior Madi-son Lee said she goes to Carson’s for the same thing almost every time.

“The peanut butter burger is divine, and I have yet to find this weird concoction anywhere else but in Maryville,” Lee said.

Senior Gunner Sumy agreed with most surveyed about Car-son’s and said he enjoys it for the great food and fun atmosphere.

Carson’s offers an assortment of specialty burgers cooked to your preference. There are burg-ers with fried eggs, guacamole,

sliced ham and even peanut but-ter. Carson’s is a great place to watch the game and grab a bite, but if it’s not quite your scene there are plenty of options. So tie your napkin ‘round your neck and Maryville will provide the rest.

When pulling into Maryville for the first time, it would appear that this small town doesn’t have a lot to offer for late night enter-tainment. But this is a college town; the econ-omy is based around Northwest. So of course there are going to be several businesses that cater to the young people looking to have fun at night. Use this guide to help determine which establishment is right for you.

The Palms is more of a relaxed bar. Some-times they will have a DJ and dance floor open but most of the time it is the place to go if you want to be able to hold a conversation with friends. The real gem of The Palms is mug night on Wednesdays. Starting at 8 p.m. patrons can bring in their own mug and have it filled for 75 cents no matter what the size. The price goes up 50 cents every half hour though, that’s prob-ably the only time that it pays to get to the bar earlier rather than later in the night.

If you’re looking for a place to dance The Outback and Molly’s are the places to go.

On Fridays at Molly’s there is no cover charge for girls and drinks for only $1. Molly’s has a spacious dance floor and two cages to dance if you really want to go wild. There are

two pool tables in another section of the bar for people who aren’t looking to embarrass them-selves on the dance floor.

The Outback is your typical dance club, with cages and cramped dance floor. The best special at the Outback is on Thursdays. It’s a $1 cover at the door, $1 for drinks and $1 for shots.

Burney’s is your regular sports bar. It has pleanty of seating, pool tables, and TVs with different games going constantly.

For those of you who do not enjoy going out to the bar, there are still house parties. Be-tween Fourth Street and Ninth Street on the West side of Main Street is where a lot of stu-dents live when they move off-campus, so you can start there.

Just by taking a quick look around Maryville, some of the foundation is apparent. Farmland lines the roads, lifelong residents gather around the square and while the University brings a youthful flare to the area, the deep roots that run through the town are difficult to ignore.

Maryville rests in Missouri’s Glacial Plains Region, which, be-fore settlement, was once the home of the Iowa, Sac, Fox and Po-tawatomi Indian tribes.

Maryville was founded in 1845 and after 167 years it still remains as the seat of Nodaway County. The name of the town came from Maryville’s first white, female set-tler, Mary House Graham. Graham was the wife of then county official Amos Graham.

With Nodaway County weigh-ing heavily in grain and live-stock farming, it was natural that Maryville developed into a mar-keting town and shipping point for agricultural goods. The strong

agricultural background still reso-nates today with a sizeable portion of the town involved in some type of farming.

Maryville is the birthplace of 1930s author Dale Carnegie, who became famous for his massive bestseller “How to Win Friends and Influence People.” The book is noted as one of the first bestselling self-help books to be published and sold 15 million copies worldwide.

If you have any interest in

more history on the town, there are a number of places in Maryville where lifelong residents will be willing to share some tales with you. Visiting the Nodaway County Historical Society, located at 110 N. Walnut, is a great source of infor-mation, or for the more outgoing students, just find a few older gen-tlemen in farmer’s hats. They are usually pretty personable and, as most small town farmers do, hold a lot of great stories.

For students moving to the Midwest from different areas of the country, the change in weather might come as a shock.

Maryville welcomes all four seasons throughout the year, it is just hard to tell when exactly each one will come, how long it will stay and how quickly it will return. However, one season that makes its presence known the most is winter.

The northern location of the University can usually prom-ise chilling winters. With a large amount of open land, the wind can be painful so remember when the sky turns white and you can hear the howling, bundle up good for walks to class no matter the dis-tance.

Also, it is a good idea to keep an ice scraper and shovel available for use. After a good snow, uncov-ering your vehicle will be much easier with these tools.

Luckily, winter doesn’t last forever and fall and spring play nice buffers to the chilling months. Both seasons promise mild tem-peratures which makes being outdoors tempting. However, try to remember not to neglect your studies by giving into the enjoy-able climate too often.

When spring makes its brief appearance it is only a matter of time before summer comes around the corner trying to outdo winter’s extreme temperatures. Ninety de-grees feels like a 120 degrees when Missouri’s infamous humidity de-cides to play a role. So sun screen and water are always safe bets to keep within reach when braving the heat.

Maryville isn’t the exception, the Midwest is known for being on Mother Nature’s temperamental side. So remember to bring outfits for all weather conditions because it isn’t a rare occurrence to wear a winter coat and a pair of shorts in the same week.

ERIC BAINES | NW MISSOURIANFarming and agriculture is deeply rooted in Maryville’s history. Founded in 1845, Maryville’s agriculture is still a priority.

Happy Garden is a crowd favorite amongst Northwest students. This restau-rant offers satisfying portions of chinese to be enjoyed in a booth or delivered.

Papichulo’s, which opened in the fall of last year, has become a staple in Maryville’s night life. The mexican grill is open until 3 a.m. giving party goers and club hoppers the perfect place to relax and chow down.

Looking for a place to watch the game, enjoy a brew and hang with buddies? Carson’s is the spot. Offering a variety of specialty burgers and dishes, Carson’s is the go-to-place in town when Applebees is just too regular. You can also play a game of pool or fire up the arcade.

When the Bearcat Bookstore doesn’t have the Northwest attire you want, Jock’s Nitch is the place to go. True to its name, Jock’s Nitch has all the Bearcat and Spoofhound sports attire and accessories you want or need.

With more than 3,900 stores in the US, did you really think you’d be without one here? Like the saying goes, you can find anything you need at Walmart, and if you can’t, then you probably don’t need it. This saying makes Walmart your new best friend.

In the center of downtown, the Nod-away County courthouse is a structure associated with Maryville. It’s steeple can usually be seen from around town.

Yeah, Walmart is great, but if look-ing for great fresh food and a family atmosphere, then shop at HyVee. Get all the incredients for a cook or browse the wine and spirits. Try the breakfast sometime too.

Papichulos is great when you’re out at odd hours of the night, but for the less nocturnal and more sober, La Bonita is a great sit-down mexican restaurant.

Greek Life offers Northwest stu-dents more than just an opportunity to make new friends.

Students involved with Greek Life make up about 15 percent of North-west’s student body. Brooke McBride, the assistant director of campus activ-ities, feels the organizations foster an environment for growth in students.

“Greek-letter organizations offer a unique opportunity for students to gain value-based leadership skills that will help them excel in today’s society,” McBride said. “All of our Greek-letter organizations share common values such as scholarship, leadership, ser-vice, and brotherhood or sisterhood which provide a well-rounded student experience.”

Karl Achey, Phi Delta Theta presi-dent agrees, saying that being in a fraternity helped him grown in many capacities.

“I’ve become more talkative and I’m not as shy and quiet around people

anymore,” Achey said. “I’m way more outgoing and my leadership skills have definitely improved. I now have other positions around campus that I’m in-volved in and Greek Life has helped open those doors for me.”

Many Greek Life organizations re-quire their members to be involved in another on-campus group and most require students to spend a set number of hours in the library each week.

Achey encourages students to not read into stereotypes when consider-ing joining an organization.

“Looking from the outside in, you think it will be just like what is on TV but then you get to school and you meet the people and it’s a completely different experience.” Achey said.

There are eight fraternities and five sororities to choose from at Northwest. There are about 400 fraternity mem-bers and about 400 sorority members on campus.

Formal recruitment for Greek or-ganizations begins 7 p.m. August 24 at Raymond J. Courter College Park Pavilion.


Northwest offers a wide va-riety of on-campus jobs to help students earn money while in school and prepare them for the workforce after graduation.

Paula McClain, student employment coordinator, feels working on campus is an im-portant part of a student’s col-lege experience.

“Student employment is valuable to students because they gain experience in real, workplace situations that they can’t get in the classroom,” Mc-Clain said.

There are 900 student em-ployees on campus and 1200 positions, which means some students are holding multiple jobs.

Students could work as a dispatcher for University Police, a tutor for the Talent Development Center, a farm assistant for the agricultural department and many more

campus positions.McClain feels there are

benefits to working on campus compared to off campus.

“Students working on cam-pus will always be working in an environment conducive to their academic success,” Mc-Clain says.

McClain says employers on campus know students must put their studies first and are willing to be more flexible with scheduling than an off-campus employer would.

Kirk Skoglund, the 2011 Northwest Student Employee of the Year, feels that he has learned a lot from working on campus.

“Being a student employee has given me essential skills as far as communication, prob-lem solving and interpersonal skills,” Skoglund said. “It has also really helped increase my confidence as far as what I do and how I interact with peo-ple.”

Skoglund currently serves

as a math tutor for the TDC, has worked in Textbook Servic-es, as a Student Ambassador, SOAR Leader and Peer Adviser as well.

The Human Resources De-partment also provides training sessions for student employees to help prepare them for future careers and possibly increase their wages.

Sessions cover topics like time management, marketing a business through social media, handling an emergency situ-ation and many more. Speak-ers include university faculty, administrators and industry experts.

If students attend three training sessions in a year, they receive a 25 cent raise if they work in the same department for the fall and spring.

Students interested in ap-plying for on-campus jobs should look under the job post-ings link in the Student Em-ployment page on the North-west website.

Dorm room living—it doesn’t get much better. A generic, bland, colorless room with stone walls and unfamiliarity, but it doesn’t need to be that way.

You are going to spend at least eight months in your new “home,” so why not make it feel like home? Here are some tricks to spice up your rather dull living arrange-ments.

First thing you’re bound to notice when you waltz in bright-eyed is the rather stiff looking, plastic-covered bed. Here’s the perfect remedy: get yourself a mattress pad. You’ll thank your-self, or your parents, as the se-mester rolls on.

Next, the blank, off-white walls will seem bothersome. Think of all the pictures, posters and paintings you could hang on your wall and do it. This is a way to express yourself and may help you meet new people, as long as it’s OK with your new roommate.

The carpet may be less than

appealing, but that is an easy fix. An area rug is more than suffi-cient. There’s Persian, Oriental, something called flokati and, if you really want to be cool, shag.

A lot of residents have resort-ed to using lofts to help optimize space. Lofts, though large and clunky, do help to provide more space by lifting the beds off the floor. They also get rid of the re-ally ugly bed frames. Another way to free up some space for a couch, or whatever your heart desires, is bunk your beds. Just ask your res-ident assistant how to do that.

An important thing to re-member is to really make your new room feel like home. It’s rec-ommended that you decorate your room around a common theme or color scheme. Have a natural flow to the room and class it up a bit.

Last but not least, don’t for-get the little things. Accessories are key. They may seem trivial but they make your room homey. Think about all of the things your mom keeps around that serve little to no purpose but make you feel at home.

NICK NORMAN | TOWER YEARBOOK

Northwest students practice their classroom etiquette on a daily basis. A quality education becomes more difficult to obtain when dis-tractions increase. Students should work together to ensure that class time is utilized in a manner that will benefit them in the long run.

Keep from becoming a class distraction, follow these guidelinesJASON LAWRENCE Sports Editor

page 22 IN THE CLASSROOM New studeNt Guide

The Missourian wants to welcome our newest Bearcats with some advice to surviving your first year at college. Here are a cou-ple of things to keep in mind after mom and dad leave for home.

DODo take advantage of the bookstore while your

parents are here. Start showing some school spirit by picking up some Northwest apparel to wear around campus. Between the school

bookstore, Jock’s Nitch and Walmart, you should have plenty of Bearcat apparel for your

first week. Also as a freshman, there will be plenty of opportunities for free shirts and head-

gear so throw your high school T-shirts away and embrace your new future.

DON’TDon’t wear your letterman’s jacket on campus. Nothing is more pathetic than bringing your high school accomplishments with you to col-lege. This is the big leagues pal, get out of the glory days.

DON’TDon’t use a tray in the food court when getting food. I know they’re there for anyone to pick up, but just between you and every upperclass-man here, those trays can easily weed out the freshmen and high schoolers on campus. Unless you want to be looked at like an inferior freshman, try to carry everything without it.

DON’TDon’t be ashamed to ask for help. We have all been through the first day jitters of trying to find your classroom and not being late. If an up-perclassman is around, don’t be afraid to ask them for directions. Granted, not everyone will escort you to the classroom personally, but they can at least point you in the right direction. Never hesitate to ask for help; after all, you’re in Bearcat Nation now, and we’re all family.

DODo try and eat healthy while you’re here. The J.W. Jones Student Union can be overwhelm-

ing at first but just remember to eat one healthy meal a day during your first year at school.

Not only will you avoid the “freshmen 15” but it will make you feel better and help you focus on new and potentially overwhelming classes.

DODo plan ahead. One of the biggest mistakes a

new student can make is to wait until the last minute to plan for that first week of classes.

Take advantage of the open campus before the first day and find your classroom ahead of time instead of scrambling the hour before. Take the time to observe some of the unique qualities of

the campus and ask questions at the Student Activities Fair. Try and take in as much as you can before that first week so that you are not

completely overwhelmed.

The Bearcats come into the season with questions marks on both sides of the ball. The ’Cats are in search of a true No. 1 receiver and tight end, and on the defensive side of the ball have to find two replacements on the defensive line. Adams had a productive campaign at quarterback as a sophomore, and Gnader is expected to have a huge season at the linebacker position.

After a rejuvenating season in which they won 10 games, Hoza will look to build on the foot of Von Mende. Von Mende is tied on top the record books for most goals in a season and will look to build off it. The key for Northwest will be Maloney, who had flashes of good play last year. She will have to step up and fill the role of Eiberger.

Fresh off a MIAA championship, the Bearcats are returning many key contributors from last season’s team, including all-MIAA guard Cooper. Northwest will have to replace MIAA Defensive Player of the Year Reinders, and Starlz will be looked at to fill the void. To take the step to the next level they will need Clark to become a more consistent scorer and Hailey to blossom in his starting role.

Northwest had no problem scoring runs last season, but their starting pitching and defense struggled at times. Swain emerged as a big bat in the lineup that was able to score runs. The Bearcats will be without No. 1 starter Green at the top of their rotation and will have to put together a new starting rotation.

Transfer Schurman’s offense exploded once she stepped onto the field, which helped Uthe have a breakout season. Brunmeier and Creger have struggled from the hill and will have to pitch their best for a successful senior campaign.

The Bearcats lose their two leading scorers off a subpar season. Kellogg will try in his first season to get things back where they were just two seasons ago when they made it to the Final Four. Kellogg has an impressive track record and will try to instill his style of game into this ’Cats team.

Coming off a third place finish in the MIAA championships, Northwest has all the weapons to move up to first. If Lowell and Charteris continue their dominance and another player like D’Angela can improve a few strokes, the sky is the limit.

The Bearcats lose two seniors who were also their two best players to graduation after a rocky season. The ’Cats will have to lean on their youth to grow up fast to get the program back to where it was two seasons ago.

The world of sports is always calculated by wins and losses and Northwest is no different. The biggest loss was the storyline for the majority of the fall season.

Football coach Scott Bostwick died last summer before ever coach-ing a game after waiting 17 seasons for the head job. Offensive coordina-tor Adam Dorrel was promoted and led the Bearcats to an 11-3 record and a quarterfinals appearance, falling to eventual national champion Pittsburg State, despite a host of injuries at key positions.

Bostwick’s legacy hung over the program all season and will for the foreseeable future.

Football, however, is not the only thing going on on this campus.

The volleyball team posted a re-spectable 14-17 record despite only having two seniors and limited re-turning experience.

Women’s soccer saw their youth-ful core mesh and put together one of

the most successful seasons in pro-gram history, posting 10 wins.

Tammie Eiberger broke the pro-gram record for goals in her lone sea-son in green and white along with sophomore Tori Von Mende who had 11 goals.

The track and cross country teams have seen several top 10 program re-cords throughout the year.

Tennis coach Mark Rosewell earned the biggest milestone of the year, winning his 900th game in 30 years as Northwest’s men’s and wom-en’s coach.

The golf team, in only its fifth year, won five tournaments and claimed three second place finishes on the strength of a host of underclassmen led by Cassie Lowell and Steph Char-teris.

The women’s basketball season fell from the top after losing the pro-gram’s first All-American in Gabby Curtis and the MIAA Defensive Play-er of the Year in Kyla Roehrig from their Final Four season. The women only returned two starters and very few players who had seen any playing

time with the lady Bearcats.The Bearcats struggled to a 6-22

record and, head coach Gene Stein-meyer retired following 12 years on the sideline. Mark Kellogg, who led Fort Collins (Colo.) to a 79 percent winning percentage in seven years, was tabbed to replace him as the sixth coach in program history.

The men’s program completed a monumental turnaround of their own, going from 10th in the confer-ence to sharing the MIAA crown in head coach Ben McCollum’s third season.

The ’Cats landed point guard DeShaun Cooper on the confer-ence’s first-team, while Jake Reinders earned second-team honors and was named the league’s Defensive Player of the Year in his senior campaign.

The Bearcat baseball and soft-ball teams saw a pair of transfers add serious power to the middle of their lineups and fought their ways into the conference tournament race.

Most of the programs are at the top or on their way to it, and the future looks bright for Northwest athletics.

Junior Guard DeShaun Cooper attempts a dunk at the MIAA Tournament in Kansas City this past season.

The Freshman 15 – that fear of gaining 15 pounds your first year of college. If you were to ask sopho-mores, juniors, seniors or even second-semester college freshmen, many would attest that gaining weight during your freshman year will likely happen. To avoid turning this terrifying thought into a reality, proper diet and exercise are impor-tant.

Northwest offers many options for students to exercise and stay in shape both on and off campus. Lamkin Fitness Center, located on the first floor below Bearcat Arena, is the main fitness center location. A membership pass can be purchased through the fitness center at a cost of $70 for one semester and $125 for an academic year or eight months.

With the purchase of a fitness center pass, students can attend group exercise classes.

A free alternative to students who are not interested in purchas-ing a fitness center membership is

the Northwest Recreation Center. It offers free and machine weights, six courts, racquetball courts, bikes and an elevated track.

Outdoor recreation is available to students through the Mozingo

Outdoor Education Recreation Area, located about 10 miles east of cam-pus. MOERA offers campgrounds, a climbing wall, canoes and kayaks, cabins that can be rented as well as a challenge course.

ASHLEY HERRINGAssistant News Editor

It is your first dinner on cam-pus. Mom is no longer here to dic-tate your food choices and make sure you eat your fruits and veg-etables or that you don’t have des-sert before dinner. So what will you choose? Chinese? A Thanksgiv-ing-style turkey dinner? A double cheeseburger? Northwest’s dining has them all. However, what you choose could be the start of bad eating habits that could stay with you for the next four years.

A study completed by Or-egon State University research-ers found that college students, especially first-year students, do not consume the United States Department of Agriculture’s rec-ommended servings of fruits and vegetables. In addition, college students skip more meals due to a lack of time and many of the calo-ries they do consume are derived from fat. Northwest campus din-

ing offers healthy alternatives that follow the MyPlate guidelines de-veloped by the USDA.

As the MyPlate guidelines state, each meal should consist of a dairy, fruit, vegetable, protein and grain. The eating outlets on campus offer options to students that help combat the development of unhealthy eating habits college students often develop.

For a healthy alternative at Quiznos sub sandwiches, instead of selecting a tuna melt torpedo at 710 calories, try the small honey bourbon chicken at 275 calories. You could also try leaving off the cheese and adding more vegeta-bles. At Grille Works, instead of a hamburger or cheeseburger, select a grilled chicken sandwich or a veggie burger.

A full menu and nutritional information for each dining option offered on campus can be found on the Northwest campus dining website www.campusdish.com or in paper format outside Bearcat

Northwest offers variety of healthy eating alternatives throughout campus Students avoid Freshman 15

The University Wellness Center offers counseling and tips for maintaining a healthy lifestyle during students’ time at Northwest.
