It’s a winwinsituation for students and community members.WSC’s Service-Learning program has been in existencefrom 1999. In recent years WSC has had about20 projects per semester, involving over 500 studentsand 50-60 community partners.This semester is right on track with 20 servicelearningprojects.One project is occurring in the classroom of Dr.Susan Nordstrom, Assistant Professor of EducationalFoundations and Leadership. Her intermediate readingcourse is working with third-sixth grade WayneElementary students.WSC students plan about 50 minutes of reading interventionactivities and visit their elementary studentsMondays. They began this Feb. 4 and will continueuntil Apr. 22.Through this project, WSC students learn how towrite lesson plans using standards and assessmentresults to create researched-based reading instruction.Each student has taken away different things from theproject.“I like that we get to be teachers and plan what wewant to do with them [the students] based upon whatwe think they need,” Sara Timperley said. “This experiencemakes me very excited to have my own classroomone day.”“This experience has shown me a glimpse of theresponsibility and pressure that rests on teachers’ shoulders,”KayLynn Ware said. “Teachers must be flexibleand learn to adapt to the dynamic needs of their studentswhile still meeting the required standards.”Another project is that of Dr. Pam Langlie, AssociateProfessor of Early Childhood Education.Her classroom organization and administration forearly childhood education programs class will be planninglearning activities for Rainbow World, a localpreschool and daycare.Rainbow World’s director wanted to emphasize children’sliterature, so the class will be selecting children’sbooks and creating activities to do with them. Theywill visit Rainbow World on Apr. 25 to work with thechildren.After, they will donate the books used for the activities.Through this project, WSC students learn about languageand literacy development and creating communityconnections.“Early childhood education is all about domains ofdevelopment. This project just focuses on one domain,”Langlie said.The project is beneficial to WSC because of the communityconnection element.A preschool teacher is not just a person in a community.They are a community figure. WSC students are learningthings they need to know if they are to someday run theirown preschool.And of course, hands-on-experience is always a benefit.“Anytime you can bring education students closer tochildren, it’s always a valuable experience,” Langlie said.WSC’s Service-Learning program has found success.For the last three years it’s received the President’s HigherEducation Community Service Honor Roll award, nationalrecognition for the efforts.Lisa Nelson, WSC’s Service-Learning Coordinator,attributes the success of the Service-Learning programto many people.“We have administrative support and inventive facultywho truly desire to provide an enhanced learningopportunity for their students while also realizing theneed to serve our region,” Nelson said. “We also havefantastic students and collaborative, cooperative communitypartners.”

OpinionMarch 20, 2013 The Wayne Stater Page 7Voir Dire:The burden of proving consentPamela EverettThis weekend, an Ohio judgefound two high school footballplayers guilty of rape.They did not use force.They didn’t have to, becausetheir victim was very drunk.Cell phones created evidencethat was then plastered on socialmedia. Now they will serve time,at least a year and two years respectively,possibly more. Theirlives—and their victim’s—arechanged forever.The trouble started after a party,when the 16-year old victim leftwith one of the football players.She testified that they left holdinghands, but she was so drunk shecould not remember anything elsefrom that night, except possiblyvomiting in a street.Sound familiar?Soon, others filled in the blankswith sad details of observing sexualcontact and taking cell phonephotos.When asked why he didn’tstop the events, one witnesstestified that the acts were notviolent, that he didn’t knowwhat rape was. “I thoughtit was forcing yourself onsomeone.”And that’s the problem.I see it with my criminallaw students every year.They are surprised at what constitutessexual assault.So once again, I will try to helpyou put today’s all-too-commondrunken party behaviors and theinstant evidence of social media intoclearer legal, and moral, context.Lack of consent has always beenthe gravamen of sexual assault butthe burden of proving it and theelement of force have changedover time.As I wrote here recently, a victimused to be required to prove she didnot consent by showing that she hadresisted her attacker’s force to theutmost, with everything she had and“And that’s the problem. I see it withmy criminal law students every year.They are surprised at whatconstitutes sexual assault.”until the very end.Fight to the death, the law told her.Those were dark days for victims,but lawmakers later recognized thatconsent, regardless of force, is thevery essence of these cases, that thedefense—not the victim—shouldhave the burden of proving consent,and further still, the law shouldSidewalk Sound Off:“What do you think about the new Pope?”prohibit acts perpetrated againstsomeone incapable of consenting,even when there is no force at all.The other fundamental element ofa criminal act is mens rea, or criminalintent (that sound you hear is myCrim Law students nodding in astuteacknowledgement—excellent!).And people often misinterpretmodern sexual assault lawsas having no such element,that we can hold someoneresponsible even when theynever intended to commitsuch an act, as some peoplebelieve is the case with theOhio teens.Statutory rape is certainlyan example of this type ofstrict liability crime (whichdepends only on the actor’s andvictim’s ages), but age was not anissue in Ohio or in many cases wehear about.Instead, Ohio law, like Nebraskaand most other jurisdictions, definesanother variety of first degree sexualassault as conduct with someonewho is incapable of consenting and—this is key—where the offender“knows or has reasonable causeto believe” that the other personis impaired.It’s that latter mental elementthat allows us to punish these offenderseven when they did notcommit rape through force.When you know or should knowthat someone cannot consent tosexual conduct because they aredrunk or high or whatever, theonus is on you to not take advantage—whethercell phones arecapturing your choices or not.It matters not whether you intendto rape in some “traditional”sense or, the other predictable butmisplaced argument, whether thevictim was irresponsible in gettingblackout drunk.What matters is doing the rightthing.And today the penalty for makingthe wrong choice just might bea prison sentence.We want to hear your voice...(in print)Tell us what you think in 250words or lessin a letter to the editor.All letters must be signed andAshley HammondAccounting and FinanceJames PlankSecondary EducationSophie DanielSecondary EducationCurtis HinrichsMarketingsubmitted byMonday at noon.“I think it’s a historicalevent because not only ishe the first Pope to take onthe name Francis, but he’sthe first to come from LatinAmerica.”“I don’t know anythingabout that.

In fact, in honor of this review,I have re-created exactly how thepage would’ve looked like if Alexdesigned it.Anyways, back to the book. It iscertainly not the longest book that isout there, (84 pages) but I definitelythink that it has some of the bestcontent of any book that I have read.The book represents Alex in reallife as well: quality over quantity.The book is essentially the Americanculture and lifestyle we findnormal, only through the eyes andwords of an Australian man. And inhis eyes, we are fractured, at best.I not only learned much of whathe thought about America, but Ialso learned things about myselfI didn’t even notice I was doing.This isn’t just an entertaining book,but we as Americans can use it as alearning tool.All of the little short stories in the book are columns that wereprinted in The Wayne Stater in the time that Alex was here,along with some other stories that were too controversial to bepublished in the Stater. I can only imagine the result of some ofthose stories being printed in the Stater.He talks about his many adventures and encounters with greatpeople that he met while he was here. He often mentions MattRichardson, news editor for the Stater at the time Alex was here.Alex points out a lot of flaws in our society that we reallydon’t even know that we are doing. And I might say, just likehe did everything else, he is a bit controversial. Alex coversalmost every base of a normal American’s life, from football toSubmissions?The Entertainment page was created for the enjoyment of readers.If you do not enjoy what you read on this page, do somethingabout it.

He’ll often refer to the AFL (Australian FootballLeague) while discussing American football and it sparked myinterest in comparing the two. YouTube is such a great tool. Alexwill always mention how much better his football is comparedto ours.You will also find thrown in almost every page, Alex’s favoritepastime, hittin’ the piss. It is almost the one thing that we allcan agree on.One of my favorite features of the book is the glossary.Throughout the book, he uses many Australianwords that make you read over and over tryingto understand. In the back is a collection of thosewords and their meanings, making it much easierto understand.I do like the fact that he used the odd words,because it gives the book a different flavor anduniqueness that only Alex can bring.What does he want you, the reader, to get fromthis piece of work?“It sort of started off as just a bit of fun, I occasionallygot carried away, but really it was justsomething to take home and show my friendswhat I had been doing the last 4 years,” Alex said.“And for the American readers, just a reminderthat I was there. Kinda like graffiti, no real pointbut means something to those who participated inthe adventure.”In all honesty, and not just because I see Alex asa friend and mentor, I give this book two thumbsup (see below) and five stars, a perfect rating andany other form that would describe one of the bestbooks I’ve ever read. I can promise you that thefive percent mentioned earlier is truly an embellishment.The book can be purchased on Amazon.com for a measly$10. Well worth it.Only in America can you feel more American after reading abook written by an Aussie.

LifestylesPage 12 The Wayne Stater March 20, 2013ForeignExchangeBy Nora ZhangStaff WriterAs a traveler who is interestedin world culture, I could tell youmany interesting stories aboutwhat happened on my trip to theTwin Cities this past weekend.But I am not going to tell youthe story about my trip, but aboutour trip.I felt like I was a part of theMedia Club, made up of studentsJason Geu, Jeremy Anderson,Sam Roh and Brady Bristol, (andothers not attending) who traveledto have a look at the Minneapolisbroadcast world.This communication family atWSC was led by Maureen Carrigg,the TV and interim radio advisorat Wayne State.Three WSC graduates whowork in the Minnesota media alsobelong to the family.They opened their arms to welcomethese students and opened awindow for them to have a look atthe real media world. That madethis trip very special.Matt Carner graduated fromWSC in 2000. He works as a seniorvideo conference consultant at theUniversity of Minnesota.We met him at a very expensiveA memorable tripto Minnesotaclassroom with three elaboratescreens on the wall, and to welcomeus, two of the screens on the frontwall showed the WSC Wildcat pawprint.He gave us a lecture about broadcastequipment.“What I use for everyday workpretty much is what I learned fromcollege,” Matt said. “Technologyequipment in media is very changeable,but no matter how fast themedia equipment updates, if youbuild a strong base of knowledge,you can catch up very fast.”We visited Radio K, which is thestudent station of the University ofMinnesota, after we met Matt.The station’s size and manyworkers surprised all of the WSCbroadcast group.I suddenly felt more proud of theWSC broadcast students, becausethey have less expensive equipment,but finish with the same product.“Build as many contacts as youcan,” Tricia Jenkins told us.She also graduated in 2000 andworks at BUZ’N 102.9 CBS Radio.She talked about how she foundher job.“Doing internships is a very goodway to start your career, even thoughthere is no pay,” she said.Tricia brought us to visit the CBSradio station, where Jason had hisfirst experience touching the radiobuttons of a large radio station outsideof the WSC campus.We were all excited to have thechance to broadcast at BUZ’N102.9.Tom Teeter was the last and oldestalumnus that we met on this trip.He graduated in 1981 and worksat KMSP-TV in Minneapolis as aneditor.He tried to show us everythingabout running the TV station, answeredour questions.“No matter how smart you are,learn to be humble and use teamworkbefore you go to work in thereal world,” he said, giving us thisadvice like a gift at the end of ourtrip.We also visited Target Field andthe Mall of America, which youprobably will think is more interestingfor college students like us thananything else.But during this trip, what we hadwas more than that.I loved this trip because I learnedfrom those alumni, because we builta friendship with each other andbecause it is so unusual for me tohave a real American college fieldtrip by visiting the real Americanbroadcast world.By Lindsey CostaAuxiliary WriterHumans are extinct. Vampiresrun the world.“The Hunt” by AndrewFukuda is set in a world wherehumans are extinct as weknow them, but 17-year-oldGene is the last one, or so hethought.Gene has pretended all ofhis life that he is a vampire.He can’t smile, laugh, shiver,or really even breathe.Humans are a delicacy, andall have been hunted.The ruler of the vampireworld has decided to have aHeper (the vampire word forhuman) Hunt this year.Gene just so happens to bechosen by lottery for the hunt,along with fellow classmate AshleyJune, so he’s pretty sure heis screwed since vampires don’tdrink water or even bathe.I absolutely loved this book.While I usually like all books, Idevoured this one in a few hours.It offered a fresh new take onvampires.These vampires weren’t glamorizedor sexualized either since‘The Hunt’is a hittheir “sex” required rubbing anelbow in an armpit.Parts like those that show ourdifferences were hilarious.This book should appeal to guysand girls, and there’s really notthat much romance in it either.It is definitely outweighed bythe action.A part of me is secretly hopingfor this book to be made into amovie, but I know it will probablybe ruined.So before that happens, pleaseread this book.It is crazy good.Photo courtesy of Maureen CarriggWSC Media Club members visited BUZ’N 102.9 in Minneapolis, where they met with WSC alumnusTricia Jenkins (third from the left). Those who went on the field trip to Minnesota included (from leftto right) Brady Bristol, Nora Zhang, Sam Roh, Jason Geu and Jeremy Anderson.

LifestylesPage 14 The Wayne Stater March 20, 2013Son of an itchBy Jacob BarryAuxiliary WriterItching.Scratching.Cracking.Though it is officially spring,the freezing temperatures expectedfor the next few days certainlymake it seem like it’s still winter,the time of year skin seems to beat its driest.You just can’t seem to avoidthat dry skin feeling, which iscaused mainly from the lack ofmoisture in the air.A common misconception isthat heat can help cure dry skin.Actually, indoor heating suckseven more moisture from the air,as well as your skin.The best thing todo is invest in a humidifierand set it fora constant 45 to 55percent humidity andset the thermostat at acomfortable 68 degrees.Here’s another misconceptionfor you: Drinking water helps yourskin stay looking younger andprevents it from getting dry.Actually, unless you’re severelydehydrated, your skindoes not benefit much fromthe water you drink.That’s not to say that youshouldn’t drink, because hydrationis a key component togood overall health, but don’texpect it to help your skin.While we’re on the subject ofwater, let’s talk about showers.Nothing beats a steamy shower tohelp ease the tension of a hectic day.However, it’s not doing your skinany favors.The hot water can dry out the naturaloils in your skin more quickly.The longer you stand under thesucculent spray of a shower, or sit ina hot bath for that matter, the moreyou dry out your skin.Try dialing down the water temperatureto lukewarm, and keep theshowers short.“Unless you’re severelydehydrated, your skin doesnot benefit much from thewater you drink.”Five minutes is enough to getclean without over-drying.The soap you’re using may alsobe drying out your skin.The best soaps tend to me mild,fragrance-free soap that moisturizeas they clean. Bar or liquid doesn’tmatter.While you’re using that soap,don’t scrub as hard as you can.“Friction strips the skin and enhancesthe dryness,” Nanette Silverberg,M.D., a dermatology professorat Columbia University, said.Instead, try using your hands or asoft washcloth.They’ll get you justas clean as an abrasivesponge without damagingyour skin.Now we’ll get out ofthe shower, but stay in thebathroom.Extra hand-washing andhand sanitizer use in hopesof warding off illness areheavy hitters.Keep washing and sanitizingwhen needed, but also make sure togive your hands some protection bywearing gloves outside.Bundling up with a scarf mighthelp protect your lips as well, aslips consist of thinner, more sensitiveskin, just like your hands.Winter sun and snow glare canalso damage your skin, so wearsunscreen to protect yourself.If you’re going to play in thesnow for a long period of time,apply sunscreen to your face andhands.Above all, moisturize more. Butdon’t use just any moisturizer.Make sure it’s oil-based, notwater-based, as the oil will create aprotective layer on the skin (manylotions labeled “night cream” areoil-based).Also, be wary of the lotions youput on your face.Look for “non-clogging” oils,like avocado, mineral, primrose oralmond oil.There are many skin enemiesthis time of year, so be sure youarmor up.Back in brassBy Lauren DeisleyStaff WriterWayne State’s Ley Theater wasfilled with the sweet sounds ofmusic.The brass quintet A Touch of Brassperformed 14 songs from all acrossthe British Isles on Sunday.A Touch of Brass is a group madeof five experienced brass playersfrom all over the area.
