As the incoming class of

first-year students took its

traditional first walk around

the Quad Aug. 27, more than

the imminent threat of rain

kept the procession short.

The incoming class has

250 students in it—almost

100 students fewer than

William Jewell College offi-

cials had anticipated for the

class and 56 fewer students

than the 2005 class of first-

year students.

College administrators

are just beginning to exam-

ine data for reasons for the

smaller class and have yet to

find a definitive reason for

the lower enrollment, which

is expected to lead to a $1

million loss in anticipated

revenue.

“ The overall size of the

class is a little bit smaller

than last year’s class. Last

year’s was 306, and we’re at

250 this year,” Dr. Ned Har-

ris, vice president for en-

rollment, said. “We’re in the

process of evaluating why the

numbers were smaller this

year.”

“It was not what we anticipated or

expected,” Dr. David Sallee, president

of the College, said. According to Sal-

lee, the size of the class had been pro-

jected at 340 students.

“Certainly, we’ve known through the

course of the year that it would not be

as large as we had hoped—it’s not like

you wake up one day and it’s a different

size than you expected,” Sallee said. “At

the same time, when you start the plan-

ning process, it’s not the number you

anticipated then.”

Sallee deemed the financial impact

of the smaller class “significant” and

said that it would cost the College

about $1 million in revenue. Despite

the smaller class size, however, Sallee

did not anticipate any changes in the

short term, or in the Strategic Plan.

“ We’re not going to make significant

changes at this point,” he said. “ We feel

like we’re investing in the future of the

institution and we’re not going to, in

the short term, make it more difficult

in the longer term.”

Nu is returning with an emphasis on

leadership. The reorganization will be

spearheaded by Nelson Kanning, ‘00, a

William Jewell Sigma Nu alumnus and

director of the Jewell Fund in the Of-

fice of Advancement. Other Sigma Nu

alumni, including Russell Hammond, a

professional staff member from Sigma

Nu national headquarters in Lexing-

ton, Va., will be helping with the reor-

ganization.

Sigma Nu was shut down in March

2002 after they hosted a party that vio-

lated numerous College and Sigma Nu

policies. “ During that party, there was

mass underage drinking, a fight involv-

ing 45 to 50 people, alumni present

and contributing to the event and situ-

ation, and numerous other violations of

policy,” Dr. Rick Winslow, vice presi-

dent for Student Affairs and dean of

students, said. Winslow said that many

violations existed in daily operations

from then current members as well as

alumni, and that the chapter was deal-

ing with financial issues.

Kanning acknowledged there were

problems. “As a fraternity, Sigma Nu

didn’t help me grow as a leader or help

me see that Sigma Nu’s rituals and val-

ues were developed 130 years ago to

help me become a better man,” Kan-

ning said. “I always say that Sigma Nu

had a lot of great guys but when we got

around each other, we didn’t act like the

men we were. We were the poster chil-

dren for ‘group think’ mentality.”

When students arrived on campus

two weeks ago, they were greeted

with the recently renovated Yates-

Gill College Union. While the

construction took place throughout

last school year, the most noticeable

changes to the outside of the building

were finished over the summer while

students were not on campus.

“There were a few delays

in completing the outside of

the building,” Ron Dempsey,

vice president for finance and

administration, said. “There were

some unanticipated issues with the

outside plaza. Some athletes arrived

early while we were still trying to get

contractors and bricks out of the way,

but we managed to get it done before

the majority of students moved in.”

The inside of the Union proved to

be less of a hassle as students returned

to campus. With the addition of

the White Atrium, there was more

space to accommodate Orientation

Weekend activities. “Matriculation

was not nearly as crowded as it has

been in the past,” Dempsey said.

The completion of the Union

provided the College a unique chance

to create a new space for members of

the College community to gather.

“This is a community area that is not

a residence hall lobby,” Mary Sallee,

chairwoman of the Decorating and

Standards committee, said. “This is a

great gathering space where students

have the opportunity to create new

traditions. This would be an excellent

place for campus organizations to

collaborate on a big social event.”

While the Union is officially

open for use, it has not yet been

dedicated. This ceremony will take

place on Wednesday at 1 p.m. in

the Gill Family Meeting Room and

will be followed by a ribbon-cutting

ceremony in the Union Courtyard at

1:45 p.m.

“Students are definitely invited to

this event,” Sallee said.

Overall, Sallee is happy with the

outcome of the Union renovations

and the opportunities for the College

community to gather. “I love to come

in and see students sitting upstairs

reading, talking with friends and

listening to their iPods,” Sallee said.

September 8, 2006

Here we are, beginning another year at William Jewell College.

Whoda’ thunk’ it?

We watched as the first year students made their walk around the

Quad. This was bittersweet for some seniors, because it was their last

time to watch before they themselves make the trek in May.

Whoda’ thunk’ it?

For the most part we have matriculated, bought our books, settled

into our rooms, experienced our quirky roommates and gotten used to

waking up for 7:45’s again.

Whoda thunk it?

I will tell you who thunk’ it. I did. I knew what would happen. All of

these things are expected because they are tradition and tradition is a lot

of what William Jewell is built on. It comes of no surprise, because we

have all seen it before.

I will tell you what I ne ver in my wildest dream would have thunk

though. I did not expect to see Paula Keltner gone. I did not expect this

year’s first-year class to be so small, and yet so awesome. I did not expect

Senate to try to be something of consequence on our campus. I did not

expect College Union Activities to put on a program that so openly will

discuss race. I feel as though I am making a lot of negative statements

about William Jewell.

Whoda’ thunk’ it?

I have felt on numerous occasions that William Jewell was not living

up to the view book they gave me when I journey-ed to Jewell. There

have been times when Je well did not try to change the status quo. There

have been times when Je well has let the student body down, created

animosity with the faculty and staff, and kept people “from the table.”

There have been times when I have not felt like the “most important

member on this campus” (reference: Jewell Posters).

The more, however, I thunk’ about it, the more I realized that William

Jewell has not given me hardships in vain. They have given me amazing

life experiences, a real world look. They broke me out of the bubble

that I so comfortably built for myself. William Jewell has also given me

some good practice at being a responsible and contributing member of

a community. The College gave me the Emerging Leaders Conference

where I, along with other individuals, learned what it meant to be a

leader in several capacities. William Jewell has given me numerous

forums to expound upon the immense knowledge they have given me in

the forms of lecture, roundtables and the bond we can all form with our

faculty and staff members.

Whoda’ thunk’ it?

William Jewell gave me opportunities, patience and perseverance,

great friends and qualified professors. This College gave me the base

in which to challenge opinions, question my own and begin to become

an individual. I did not expect William Jewell to make me “eat crow”

by teaching me, wielding ME with the power to change the status quo.

There actually was a method to their madness. As I begin this year, I

can’t help but look forward to what William Jewell will do to help me

grow further as a student, citizen, and most importantly as a human

being. Whoda’ Thunk’ It?

I feel pride in saying that the “Hill” is mine… and that’s Real Talk.

Let us know

what you think

Letters to the Editor

monitor

@william.jewell.edu

Students of William Jewell College, I’m going to let

you in on a little secret: Watch your backs. It seems to

be a bad time to be part of the crowd enrolled in classes

around here. Oh, you can fool yourself by saying the new

Union is for you, but you know the coffee shop is really

just to distract you f rom the discouragement of backpack

traditions and the horrible smells in Marston. That ’s

right, scoop up your books and bring allergy medications

for classes. Things aren’t lookin’ good.

Although I had been on campus a few times for brief

visits, I hadn’t really been back—for good—until two

weeks ago. After a semester in Barcelona, I was expecting

a joyous homecoming. But I got trash. And boxes. And

dust.

The Monitor’s offices were in disarray in mid-August.

After years of a-substance-not-categorized-as-mold-that-

makes-me-sneeze, Facilities Management finally ripped

out the carpet, apparently forgetting to replace it with

some other form of flooring. I could go into the nitty

gritty of why we needed something other than cement

on our floors, but getting out my office f rustrations here

would be futile and perhaps even self-serving (well,

obviously). It would also prevent me from getting to

a larger issue on campus, one that involves low morale,

misplaced priorities and lack of communication.

As a second-term editor, I couldn’t help but look

back at my first stabs at column-writing two years ago.

Phrases like “finding my niche” and “an environment

that embraces student involvement” were heartfelt. As a

sophomore student, returning to Jewell from a summer at

home made me feel a sense of belonging at the College.

I only imagined that returning from Spain would

be even better. But something was different. I couldn’t

put my finger on it, but there was a change. Even when

greeting some of my favorite professors, staff and students,

there was an air of defeat. Were people still stung by the

loss of KWJC? Was the Strategic Plan too top-down?

Were we all still wondering what went wrong with

recruitment for the first-year class?

I didn’t ever find a satisfactory answer, and I don’t

want to kick off the year with a hopeless column full of

complaints. I also don’t want to speculate about

every issue on campus that could be contributing to

the general feeling of discontent I’m noticing.

But I did draw one conclusion: Ever yone in

the College community—from faculty to staff to

administration—seems to be out of touch with

the person next door. Apparently Friday morning

Jewell Time doesn’t quite equal campus unity. Too

often this semester, I’ve walked from one professor’s

office to another and heard “ What?! I knew nothing

about…” or “I wish I hadn’t learned about such-and-

such through the grapevine.”

This certainly isn’t the first time, but it has been

a while since the College has had so much to learn

from its student organizations. I’ve been impressed

and inspired by by some of the student initiatives—

and cooperation—taking place at the College. From

the persistent radio students: The Edge internet radio

feed. From Student Senate: a revitalized mission

statement and outreach plans.

So while it’s tempting to read my first paragraph

and want to head for Baker University, my advice

for students has little to do with taking the path of

least resistance. There’s a lot of work to be done on

campus, and it’s about time the College’s patrons—

and largest demographic—got involved. For the

first time in a long time, student communication

on campus seems to be at an all-time high. Groups

like CSM and Amnesty International are not only

revitalizing their own programs; they’re also looking

for new ways to form partnerships.

There is one piece of proof that select College

officials are listening to the beat of campus: the

newly-tiled floor in the Monitor office. It may be

a small thing, but it gives me hope for the rest of

William Jewell.

Second Thoughts

I’m back, people.

Back for another year at William

Jewell College and back for another

year as associate editor of The Hilltop

Monitor.

When most Hilltop Monitor editors

get a shot at writing a column for the

second time, it seems like they review

their first column and go “Whoa, this

is what I thought last time—look how

much things have changed! I sure

hope I make a positive difference in

the world again this year.” Often after

writing that column, the rest of the year

is spent writing snarky columns about

campus life that end with a final salvo

aimed at the campus community.

So, in preparation for this column

I went and examined the first column

that I wrote last year. This bit of

research proved to be no help, since in

that column I suggested that if I ever

gave money to William Jewell College

it would be required to do several

things (such as make the KAs change

their spiritual founder to Ulysses S.

Grant). Amusing, but not particularly

useful in providing me with inspiration

for this column.

In any case, I’m back, and after a year

of general bitterness and snarkiness

on the editorial pages last year (my

column being no exception), I thought

it would be good to take at least a

week to say some positive things about

what’s happening on campus this year.

There are certainly things I’m more

enthusiastic about this year than I was

at this time last year. Don’t worry—

there will be plenty of ink spilled

in this space this year complaining

about (well, make that constructively

criticizing) things on and off campus.

For one week, however, I’m not going

to complain about the cafeteria food,

criticize the Greek Strategic Plan,

comment on what I think are the

failings of Student Senate. I want to

focus on the things that I find exciting

and show what’s right with William

Jewell. Without further ado, these are

the things I’m excited about:

• Let’s begin what may

be my most surprising point

of enthusiasm after several of

the columns I wrote last year:

The work of Student Senate. I

think there is an exceptionally

strong group of Senators this

year, and am hopeful that

they can succeed in places

where other Senates haven’t.

(disclaimer: Senate recently

made a sizable financial

contribution to a cause near

and dear to my heart, so my

support has been somewhat

purchased.)

• Groups

and

organizations that think the

Monitor has an agenda against

them. I’m enthusiastic that

Sigma Nu is coming back, and

excited to see the f raternities

at least putting on a show of

unity at the start of Rush. I’m

excited that the football team

won its first game in exciting

fashion and I’m optimistic

that this could be a special

season for the team.

• The new Union, and

the fact that we no longer have

to go through a tunnel to get

to dinner.

• The coffee shop on

the top floor of the Union, and

enthusiastic that it takes credit

and debit cards since there’s

not an ATM on campus

(whoops—this is supposed

to be a positive column).

• New faces on

campus, f rom the first-year

students to faculty in their

first year, and particularly

excited about having a student

from Lebanon on campus this

semester.

• Parts of the Strategic

Plan and excited that the

College is attempting to make

the oh-so-lauded jump from

good to great.

• The Hilltop Monitor

has more office space and a

new floor this year.

• At this particular

moment I may be most

excited that I’m spending my

time in class and around cool

people, rather than driving

around at the Winfield City

Lake harassing campers like I

did this summer in my job as

a lake ranger.

If there’s a silver lining in every

cloud, however, there are thunderclouds

on every horizon. For all of the things

that I’m excited about, there are an

equal number of things that I’m

worried about—will the Monitor ever

get enough computers to put out an

issue? Will my points ever work at the

new coffee shop so I won’t even need

my debit card? Will the Strategic Plan

ever get longer and more complicated

than the schematics of the Space

Shuttle?—but we’ll let those wait for

future issues.

For now I’m excited and enthusiastic.

And yes, I’m back.

As I

write this

article, my

shoulder s

ache from

h e a v i n g

a heavy

backpack,

I do not

understand

the words

coming out

of the speakers and the Hill is waking

while my own day is drawing to a

close. I am sitting on a train in Poland

heading for Germany. For three weeks

I have been traveling through Europe,

and my trip has just begun for I am

embarking on a new adventure. This

fall I am studying in England through

William Jewell’s Oxford Overseas

Study Program. I decided it would be

most fitting to start my journey with

a month-long tour of Europe before

term began.

I started my tour in Kassel,

Germany, a city dear to me because

before attending college, I spent a

year here as an exchange student.

Returning to the German culture

and language once more was surreal.

It was as if I had never left. Seeing

and reconnecting with people, now

old friends, was refreshing, as was

enjoying the delights of a German

breakfast of rolls and marmalade and

long walks after coffee and cake. But I

also wanted to explore someplace new,

thus my foray into Poland.

I wanted to immerse myself in the

Polish culture as much as possible, so

I stayed with a missionary family in

Poznan, the first big city in western

Poland. I am indebted to this couple

for they allowed me to shadow them

for several days. They introduced me

to their friends and Polish way of

life. They explained the basic culture

of this devoutly Catholic, but long

downtrodden, country. The language

is difficult. The people are normally

rather reserved, so it takes a while to

form relationships. Poland, however,

has an immensly rich history and its

food is wonderful. If you ever have the

opportunity, try a perogie, the Polish

version of ravioli.

Poland’s history is a rather turbulant

one. During the Middle Ages and

Rennaissance, the Polish empire was

actully one of the largest in Europe.

However, with time, the heyday of

the country waned and the land was

broken up into many other nations.

Though it again became its own

country after World War I, Germany

soon invaded, and after Germany’s

defeat, Poland became a part of the

USSR. The fall of communism started

Poland’s struggle to become a modern

democracy. Though it has much left to

accomplish, Poland has made many

advancements, including joining the

European Union in 2004.

When I visited the old Polish

capital, Kracow, all of this history was

laid out before my eyes. An opulant

medieval castle and main square

against a backdrop of bleak, old

building, results of a century of war

and communism, created a perfect

allegory of Poland’s history. As I sat

in Kracow’s main square one night,

watching the people bustling under

the lights amongst the restaurants and

merchant stalls, it amazed me that this

culture has been altering and evolving

for over a millenium.

I decided then that I wanted to

take part of this culture home with

me. This has now become my goal for

the semester. The parts of the cultures

that I enjoy this fall need not remain

in Europe if I can help it. When I

return home, please, someone, ask me

to make a perogie!

The first panel discussion of the Informative Speaker Series was held in Gano

last week. It addressed the topic of capital punishment. This series was created

by Philip Cantwell, junior Oxbridge institutions and policy major. According to

Cantwell, the speaker series is distinctive from others that exist on campus.

“ The difference between this series and other series is the mixture of speakers,”

Cantwell said. “The idea for the series came to me because I thought too many

people at Jewell hold beliefs on controversial issues that have never been tested, or

they have never seen there are other perspectives out there.”

Speakers in favor of the death penalty were First Assistant U.S. Attorney Matt

Whitworth, attorney Mike Whitehead and Julie Gulledge, president of the Kansas

City chapter of Parents of Murdered Children. Speakers against capital punishment

were Sean O’Brien, executive director of the Public Interest Litigation Clinic; Steve

Harris, assistant professor of education; and Bill Lucero, Kansas state coordinator

of Murder Victims for Reconciliation. -Story by Kristina Brase. Photo by Kyle Rivas.

Lebanese student joins

College for fall semester

New coffeehouse

opens for business;

prices examined

In an effort to help students stay

awake through class, the Yates-Gill

College Union includes a convenient

destination for a morning (or late-

afternoon) caffeine fix. The new

coffeehouse overlooking the Union’s

atrium includes a special Jewell

Blend coffee, along with soft drinks,

smoothies and a selection of pastries

made fresh daily in the school’s

kitchens. When a new cooler arrives to

fill the space between the two counters,

the coffeehouse will add a selection of

sandwiches and salads to its menu.

The Jewell Blend and Cardinal

Blend coffees were selected by a panel

of taste-testers, who chose specialty

blends from six offered by the Roasterie,

the local company f rom which the

coffeehouse purchases its coffee. The

coffeehouse also offers French Caramel

Roast, its mildest coffee; Voodoo, a dark,

rich coffee; and de-caffeinated coffee.

Students cramming for an exam and

needing extra energy should note that

milder roasts contain more caffeine.

The coffeehouse also offers lattes,

cappuccinos, flavored lattes and

cappuccinos, mocha f rappes and hot

chocolate. With the summer heat, the

selection of smoothies are popular and

come in a variety of fruity flavors which

can be mixed as desired.

The coffee is priced from $1.50 for

a 12-ounce coffee to $3.70 for a 16-

ounce coffee, depending on the flavor.

“Coffee is more expensive when

you get specialty blends,” Fred Vocke,

food service director, said. Bonus

points that can be used in the Cage are

not yet available in the coffeehouse, but

“we’re working

on it ever yday,”

Vocke said.

T h e

coffeehouse is

open Monday

t h r o u g h

Thursday from

7 a.m. to 10

p.m.; Friday

from 7 a.m.

to 7 p.m.; and

Sunday from

6 p.m. to 10

p.m. One of

Vocke’s major

concerns is the

hours of the

c o f f e e h o u s e .

Students who

require a 3 a.m.

caffeine fix to

get through

those last few

pages of an

essay will still have to make a run to

QuickTrip.

“We want to be there for the

students,” Vocke said, “but if we don’t

do business, how do we justify keeping

it open?”

Besides coffee, the coffeehouse

offers students an additional place to

read, study and socialize. Christopher

Pennell, senior, said that the atmosphere

is “phenomenal” for studying.

Currently, the coffeehouse is missing

a name. This will be remedied through

a contest co-sponsored by Student

Senate and the Office of Student

Affairs. Michael Armato, vice president

of Student Senate, announced that

the names will be judged by a panel

of students, faculty and staff who will

be looking for creativity, uniqueness

and the integration of William Jewell

College into the name. The contest

begins Monday and will close Sept.

17

at midnight. All name suggestions

must be submitted by email to senate@

william.jewell.edu. Each person may

submit one name. Vulgar or offensive

language immediately will disqualify

the individual. The winner of the

contest will receive an iPod Nano,

provided by the Office of Student

Affairs. More information may be

obtained by emailing Student Senate,

or by visiting the Senate’s table in the

atrium during lunch from Sept. 11-13.

Throughout fall semester, William

to the recent fighting in Lebanon,
