Education, employment help developmentally disabled become productive citizens, says researcher

Haley Rose position

For the few who frequented the K-State Student Union at 8:30 a.m. last semester, a congregation of non-traditional stu-dents either milling around or working in groups was a familiar sight. The students and their teachers have since relocated to Bluemont Hall, but their purpose remains the same.

Whether they are learning to balance a checkbook or are exploring the different aspects of theater acting, the 36 students who participate in these Saturday classes are not traditionally expected to be in a college setting, because each and every one of them has an intellectual disability.

Ranging from 18-66 years old, the stu-dents that participate in Project EXCELL are being given a shot to further their edu-

cation.Project EXCELL – Extending College

Education for Lifelong Learning – is a program that “provides non-credit con-tinuing education classes for adults with mild developmental disabilities or other cognitive disabilities,” according to their website.

Launched two years ago, the program is the result of a collaboration between special education teachers in the area who saw a need. One of those teachers is Mike Bilderback, Project EXCELL instructor and director of the Special Services Coop-erative of Wamego.

After the idea was set into motion, the group building the program contacted Johnson County Community College in Overland Park, Kan. who has had a week-end program like EXCELL called CLEAR for the last 30 or so years. The directors at JCCC were able to assist the group in setting up a model that worked with the program they had in mind.

“What was surprising was that we didn’t even know the program at JCCC existed until we started looking into it,” Bilderback said.

Lack of awareness of the programs seems to be a common occurrence. Most departments at K-State arent aware of the existence of Project EXCELL, including the Disability Support Services depart-ment.

“You know, these programs are some of the best kept secrets on college campus-es,” said Kathy Kennedy, manager of the CLEAR program at JCCC.

Within the last decade, the program at JCCC expanded to include a weekday program where students still attend spe-cialized classes, but have a higher level of responsibility in getting from class to class.

One of the biggest issues Project EXCELL and similar programs is sustain-ability regarding funding.

Currently, the program is run through a grant from the Kansas Health Policy Authority. Bilderback wrote the grant and the program has survived on it for the last two years. After this school year, however, the grant runs out and the program will have to look into alternate forms of fund-ing.

Project EXCELL is not the only pro-gram of its kind. There are upwards of 250 programs across the country.

The models each program uses vary. Both Project EXCELL and CLEAR use the “life-skills” model that is focused on teaching the students skills that will enable them to be more independent.

The other two most common models are the “fully integrated” model and the “transition” model. The integrated form is where students participate in traditional college courses and are able to gradu-ate with a degree, provided that they do all of the work on their own. The transi-tion model focuses on students having an easier transition from high school to col-lege.

No matter the type of program the stu-dent is involved in, the student still has to deal with the social stigma of an intel-lectual disability, as well as the common opposition opinion that, “it isn’t worth it.” The proponents of this opinion say that the money and the man power required to run these programs would be better suited elsewhere.

Students with intellectual disabilities who have wanted to further their educa-tion in the past have encountered diffi-culty in finding ways to do so.

“To be perfectly honest, a lot of oppo-sition comes from the disability services departments on campus, which is shock-ing,” said Amy Dwyre, who is a part of the Post-Secondary Education Research Center and does research on students in college programs. “They have a set idea of who should be allowed to come to college and students who are affected by intellec-tual disabilities aren’t often thought of as students who should be on campuses. But why not? If a student can handle it and wants the college experience, they should get it.”

Up until 2008, only a handful of post-secondary programs existed for those

Experts say aging population, demand for information, make healthcare, IT, areas of economic growth Anton Trafimovich staff writer

Historically, U.S. recessions or periods of economic struggle have been followed either by innovation in the economy or by war. Both help to stimulate manufacturing and decrease unemployment, helping to re-fresh the economy.

K-State faculty and students estimate that the economy will continue to recover from the recent recession for about one to five years and said now is the best time to start a business.

“Hopefully we are to going see a focus on entrepreneur-ship. Hopefully we are going see a focus on innovation,” said Jeffrey Hornsby, director of the Center for the Advancement of Entrepreneurship and professor of management.

A recession is the right time for any sort of start-

up, Hornsby said. He said

that busi-ness giants

such as Apple,

M i c r o s o f t and Hewlett-Packard were launched during periods of econom-ic struggle.

According to Horn-sby, most of the large companies, especially the ones related to technology, came out of recessionary times due to the growth of entrepreneurship.

The current recession co-incides with several inter-national conflicts that can determine the direction the U.S. government will move in the future. Civil war in Syria, Iran’s nuclear threat and overall instability in the Middle East are just some global incidents influencing the price of fuel.

“These issues need to be solved,” Horn-sby said. “That could be very dangerous.”

Meanwhile, he

said, the unpredictable situation with fossil fuels will push the U.S. to appeal to green and en-vironmentally friendly technol-ogies. Hornsby said he thinks people should move away from fossil fuels and invest more in solar and hydrogen technolo-gies.

“I think you will see focus on sustainability, green businesses, social businesses and enterpris-es that support all that,” he said.

To start using green tech-nologies, though, govern-ment endorsement is needed, said Daniel Kuester, director of undergraduate studies in economics. According to Kue-ster, a green revolution in the economy is possible only if the government decides to increase expenditure for those purposes.

“That is going to depend very much on the political climate of the country,” Kuester said.

According to Kuester, the segment of the economy that will not face trouble in the future is any sphere of business dealing with the aging popula-tion.

Healthcare for this social group is going to be an enter-prise that has room for success, as the majority of the growing aging population has disposable income, he said.

“No matter what happens with the general economy in a larger sense,” Kuester said. “That’s a promising sector.”

Kuester also said he antici-pated great demand for skilled workers and education, and that the more academic achieve-ments a person has, the more likely the person will

remain em-ployed.

“ J u s t g e t t i n g

an educa-tion, I think, is a real premium for students and for everyone,” he said.

Another seg-ment of econ-omy that is ex-pected to keep growing is infor-mation technol-ogy.

‘A Night with Mos Def ’ focuses on diversity in relaxed settingGrammy nominated rapper attracts hundreds, fills K-State Student Union’s Grand Ballroom Jakki Thompsonassistant news editor

Lines of students and community members packed through the main entrance to the Grand Ballroom in the K-State Student Union on Wednesday night, with seats fill-ing up immediately after the doors opened. More chairs had to be brought in for “A Night With Mos Def,” sponsored by Delta Sigma Theta Sorority and the Student Governing As-sociation.

Yasiin Bey, formally known as actor and hip hop artist Mos Def, talked in a way that was personal to a room with more than 400 people in it. After someone brought him a chair, Bey sat down and spoke. He leaned in to the audience when he felt more passionately about a particular topic.

“I have listened to a lot of his incredible music,” said Skyler Schmitt, junior in social work. “He spoke with incred-ible heart. He talks from the soul. Being the individual that he is, it is so powerful what he was speaking about.”

In a question and answer type setting, Bey originally stood on the stage and said he didn’t have anything prepared,

Steven Coen, senior in fi-nance and entrepreneurship, said people who understand how to derive a profit from free flow of information the Internet provides can be very successful in the future.

“If you can find some way to catch the word of mouth and everyone’s opinion about your products, then you can create more or less a perfect product for your targeted market,” Coen said.

Going beyond theory, Coen started his own business. Using his skill to find demanded in-formation from sellers and ap-propriate customers for them, Coen connects people who want to sell certain books and people who are looking for the same books. He described his busi-

ness, named MyRiBiT as “selling pockets of information.”

Kuester said he also sees potential in the technology in-dustry. This area has already experienced tremendous growth in the last decade, he said. How-ever, Kuester also said that there is still potential in the sphere of information technology.

“I think a lot of these things are beyond our imagination,” he said.

Hornsby, Kuester and Coen all agreed that a recession is not a time to wait, but a time to do.

“It’s a good time to start a business,” Coen said “Yes, the unemployment is little high and market is not great. But it doesn’t mean anything. Right now you can get a loan for the cheapest. The interest rate is so low right now. Banks can lend money for almost nothing.”

to get published in the Collegian.”

MOST DEF | Current issues discussedContinued from page 1even though his publicist recommended that he did. He sat down and let audience members ask questions about what they wanted to hear him speak about.

“People asked a lot of questions I also wanted to know about,” said Angie Muhwezi, senior in biology and president of Delta Sigma Theta sorority. “It was great to hear about how he felt about current issues. He talked about relevant issues and stayed true to himself. It opened my eyes when he spoke about how we need to treat the younger generations because they will be taking care of our generation.”

Deborah Muhwezi, 2010 K-State graduate in mass communications and past president of Delta Sigma Theta, agreed with Bey’s insight, and said that she felt people should pay close at-tention to the impact they have on future gen-erations.

“We create the culture for the next genera-tion,” she said. “We have more power as people than we think we have. If we see something we don’t like, we should change it. Mos Def knows he has the notoriety to have the power to speak about issues like this.”

Vuna Adams III, sophomore in accounting and finance and president of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, asked, “what types of skills do people our age need to go into a diverse world?”

Bey said it was all about principles, and that people need to ask themselves “how does what I do bring quality to people’s lives? Or how do I improve quality of people’s lives?”

Anita Easterwood, junior in fine arts and public relations chair for Delta Sigma Theta said there were many challenges the sorority faced to bring Bey to K-State. She said between signing contracts, getting the funding and even the sup-port, it was an incredibly stressful process.

Deborah said Delta Sigma Theta has tried for years to get a high profile speaker to come to K-State, and this was the first year they were finally

able to get someone.“I am very pleased and happy we had the op-

portunity to bring him to the K-State campus,” Easterwood said. “It was a great event and great that I am finally able to breath. The chapter faced a lot of challenges but it all worked out in the end. He is very down to earth and very humble about what he has done.”

Bey commented on many current issues facing our society. He commented on the Tray-von Martin case that is occurring in Florida, and said he often finds himself angry about what happened to the teenager.

“The images we see of black men aren’t flat-tering, even when they are meant to be,” Bey said. “I am very sad for this family. But it is an opportunity for this nation to truly live up to its potential. If they don’t get an opportunity to shine, it will just lead to darker and darker days.”

At the end of the show, Bey performed a rap he had created for the Martin case. He spoke with his eyes closed and leaned up against the podium.

Bey also commented about the Occupy Wall Street movement. He said he lives in New York City and is from New York City, a city which he said finds both fantastic and horrifying.

“I went down there,” Bey said. “People think it’s [the Occupy movement] cute, but it’s not. People are puting their lives on the line like the founding fathers did against Great Britain. These people aren’t just sitting at home hollering at the TV. Those are the best Americans and citizens in the world today.”

After more than an hour and a half of speak-ing, he left the stage thanking the audience for coming out to listen to him and for asking ques-tions.

“Thanks to everyone who came out,” Muh-wezi said. “He didn’t come out to rap, but to speak about the problems going on today. I just hope people were paying attention to what he was saying because he was speaking the truth.”

K-State track and field will return to action this weekend when the team splits up and heads to three different meets. The team will be split between the Jim Click Combined Event Shootout at the University of Arizona in Tucson, Ariz., the Texas Relays in Austin, Texas and the ESU Open in Emporia, Kan.

Although K-State has al-ready competed in two out-door meets this spring (full recaps below), this weekend presents the “official” kickoff of the outdoor season as nearly every athlete will compete at one of the three meets.

One of the biggest storylines is the lineup that will head to Arizona to compete. It is a group of seven that will all be participating in the same event.

“We’ve got seven girls com-

peting in the heptathlon at Tucson,” said head coach Cliff Rovelto. “They really only get basically a couple of opportu-nities to compete in a heptath-lon. It’s kind of a big deal be-cause this will be the only time they’ll get to do one until the league meet.”

Another, smaller group will head to the Texas Relays with the majority of the team headed to Emporia to compete.

In Austin, those athletes will have an opportunity to com-pete against some of the na-tion’s best talent, as teams from all across the country will be at the meet.

Along with the college events, high school athletes will compete at the meet, adding to the magnitude of the weekend.

Rovelto said those headed to Emporia will be presented with a good opportunity to com-pete, improve in events that aren’t necessarily their stron-gest and participate in more

events than normal. “They’ll have an opportu-

nity to do a number of things or do things that aren’t neces-sarily their best event,” Rovelto said. “It gives them a chance to be competitive in a competi-tion that they don’t have to be at their best.”

Recap of the Tulsa Duels, March 16-17

The outdoor track and field season opened up immediately following the conclusion of the indoor season, and the Wild-cats took advantage of the early competition.

Performances in the field events highlighted a strong opening weekend for K-State at the Tulsa Duels in Tulsa, Okla., on March 16-17.

Senior David Taylor took first in the men’s pole vault with a jump of 15-5.75. Fresh-man Tommy Brady finished second with the same height,

but took second due to missed attempts earlier in the compe-tition.

Freshman Ivan Hartung took the title in the men’s jav-elin with a throw of 219-8. Senior Cory Boulanger and junior Jake Darrington claimed second and fourth, respective-ly.

Tomaz Bogovic continued to impress as the senior fin-ished first in the men’s hammer throw with a toss of 187-1. Bogovic has been a consistent performer for the Wildcats throughout the indoor and now outdoor seasons.

The running events were especially strong on the wom-en’s side. The Wildcat women claimed two victories in the short and long sprints.

Sophomore Angela Hart fin-ished first in the women’s 400-meter hurdles, coming in at 1:05.28. Freshman Avery Loyd also placed in the event, finish-ing third with a time of 1:09.05.

The Wildcats took three of the top four places in the wom-en’s 200-meter dash. Senior Edina Brooks won the race, clocking in at 25.21. Senior Kim Haberman and junior Ce-narda Jackson finished third and fourth, respectively.

Recap of the ASU Invitational, March 23-24

The performances from Boglarka Bozzay have been a consistent high point for the Wildcats and it was no differ-ent in Tempe, Ariz. this past weekend.

Bozzay claimed third in the women’s 1,500-meter run with a time of 4:21.51. The time was a new personal record for the senior. Only two unat-tached runners placed ahead of Bozzay.

Freshman Joslyn Barnes took the title in the women’s high jump with a jump of 5-08.

Sophomore Carlos Rodri-

guez has been a consistent point producer for the Wild-cats in his debut season of col-lege track and field. Rodriguez ran the men’s 100-meter dash in 10.58 seconds, taking fifth place.

Tomas Kirielius, a senior thrower, took the title in the javelin with a very strong per-formance. Kirielius won the event with a toss of 226.

Junior Samantha McKnight and fellow sprinter, freshman Sophia Alonso, also added high points the weekend for the Wildcats. McKnight fin-ished sixth in the womens’ 100-meter dash with a new personal record of 12.09 sec-onds. Alonso took second in the women’s 400-meter dash with a time of 55.87.

Sydney Messick ran in the women’s 5,000-meter run as the senior placed second in a time of 16:54.82. Freshman Laura Galvan finished third in a time of 17:14.27.

In a year considered by many to be a “rebuilding year,” the K-State basketball team ex-ceeded expectations and made its way to the NCAA Tourna-ment for the third straight year as it also topped 20 wins for the sixth straight season.

Much of the early season was marred with inconsistent, average play as the Wildcats were adjusting to life without star seniors Jacob Pullen and Curtis Kelly. Freshman for-ward Thomas Gipson emerged as an early season surprise, as the big freshman was a de-pendable scorer averaging 9.7 points a game through the non-conference slate.

A critical part of the Wild-cats’ season occurred after a heartbreaking double-overtime loss at the hands of coach Bob Huggins and

West Virginia in Wichita. The next game pitted the Wildcats against North Florida, a game in which the Wildcats played poorly but beat the Ospreys in overtime.

As the schedule turned toward the start of Big 12 Con-ference play, matchups with nationally ranked Alabama and the Diamond Head Clas-sic stood in the way. The Wild-cats went undefeated over that four-game stretch and found themselves in the national rankings heading into confer-ence play.

The Wildcats opened up their conference slate with, ar-guably, the three most talented teams back-to-back-to-back. Following a drubbing at the hands of Kansas in Lawrence, junior guard Rodney McGrud-er had a 20-point effort as the Wildcats smashed previously unbeaten Missouri in Man-hattan. The following game brought the fourth ranked

and undefeated Baylor Bears into Manhattan. Despite the 30-point effort of McGruder, the Wildcats fell to the Bears 75-73. This brutal three-game stretch showed that the Wild-cats had the ability to com-pete to be in the top three of the conference. Later in the season, the Wildcats had back-to-back upsets over Baylor and Missouri on the road. Both of those teams were in the top 10 at the time. However, con-sistency would be the issue throughout the season.

Throughout the remain-der of conference play, fresh-man guard Angel Rodriguez cracked the starting lineup and proved to be an intricate part of the team. The fresh-man from Miami averaged 8.3 points a game while logging an average of 21.7 minutes. Against Baylor in Waco, Texas, Rodriguez was sterling, notch-ing 15 points and six assists as the Wildcats edged out the top

10 Bears 57-56. The junior seasons of

Rodney McGruder and for-ward Jordan Henriquez saw the two have a pair of breakout seasons. McGruder, the 6-foot-4-inch guard from Washington D.C., led the team in scoring with the average of 15.8 points per game. In the previous two seasons, McGruder was pri-marily a role player known for his defense and superb re-bounding, most notably on the offensive end. Throughout the season, McGruder developed into the Wildcats go-to-guy scoring 20 points or more 10 times on the season.

The development of Jordan Henriquez through the season was a pleasant surprise for the Wildcats. Henriquez started the season out strong, some-thing he hadn’t done in years past, nearly missing double-doubles in his first three games. From that point on, Henriquez struggled to find

the consistency; even getting suspended from the team for a game. With Kansas coming into town for a big matchup, Henriquez found himself back in the starting lineup and played tough in a very physi-cal game. From that point on, Henriquez was a new player, averaging 15 points per game and 10.8 rebounds per game through the final six games.

The Wildcats were able to parlay their regular season success into a No. 8 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Wild-cats topped Southern Mis-sissippi, their second round opponent, and they were pre-pared to take on the No. 1 seed, the Syracuse Orange, for a trip to the Sweet 16. Hours before the game, it was made appar-ent that senior forward Jamar Samuels would be sidelined with an eligibility issue. K-State was able to stay within arm’s length of the Orange for the first half, as the Wildcats

trailed by one going into the break. However, the Orange pulled away and dominated the second half as they ended the Wildcats season.

While the Wildcats lose senior forwards Victor Ojel-eye and Jamar Samuels, they return a strong nucleus of the team. However, they will not return head coach Frank Martin. The next coach for K-State, whoever it may be, will have a team that has two potential NBA players in Mc-Gruder and Henriquez, a vet-eran guard with junior-to-be guard Will Spradling, as well as sophomores who saw sig-nificant playing time this past year in Thomas Gipson and Angel Rodriguez.

While the coaching change will be a detriment, the Wild-cats have the returning talent to be in the top third of the Big 12 Conference and the chal-lenge to go deeper in March than this past season.

Brad Underwood Associate head coach, K-State

Pros: Underwood knows and understands the program that Martin left. He was a big factor in implementing the Wildcats’ wheel offense and he is a K-State alum-nus who could keep players from potentially transferring.

Cons: Recruiting could be dam-aged with Underwood’s lack of head coaching experience.

Pros: Henson is a former K-State basketball player and the all-time leader in assists for the Wildcats. He is familiar with the Big 12 Confer-ence and has worked under former K-State head coach Lon Kruger, in the NBA and in the college ranks at Illinois, South Florida, UNLV and, currently, Oklahoma.

Cons: Athletics Director John Currie may want a coach with col-legiate head coaching experience and that would eliminate Henson. Kruger has expressed his support in that Henson is ready to make the leap to head coach, but hiring someone with no experience as head coach is always a risk. 3

Tad BoyleHead coach, University of Colorado

Pros: Boyle has a head coaching record of 104-91, including taking Colorado to the NCAA tourna-ment this season where it upset UNLV in the first round. After playing at Kansas from 1981-1985, Boyle is familiar with the state and the Big 12.

Cons: Boyle is just now begin-ning to build a legitimate program at Colorado and he may want to stay put. Also, as a former Jayhawk, Boyle may wait for the KU job to open up to jump jobs.

4Stan HeathHead coach, University of South Florida

Pros: Heath has a winning record (182-164) as a head coach and since his teams are known for their defense, that would make for an easy transition for the cur-rent K-State players who are used to Martin’s defensive mental-ity. Heath was named the Big East Coach of the Year this season after he led USF to a 22-13 record and to the third round of the NCAA tournament.

Cons: Heath has not been overly successful in recruiting at USF. Currie may be looking for some-one who is more familiar with the Big 12 and the state of Kansas. 5

Kevin StallingsHead coach, Vanderbilt University

Pros: Stallings is a proven coach with a 384-222 record and is a two-time recipient of the Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year award. Currie knows what Stallings is capa-ble of from his time at Tennessee and he may feel even more comfortable knowing Stallings has experience coaching in Kansas due to his time as an assistant under Roy Williams at KU.

Cons: Stallings has created a repu-table program at Vanderbilt and is being paid accordingly. A move to K-State would require a much larger contract.

Editor’s Note: This article was completed as an assignment for a class in the A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications.

With Easter right around the corner, Lent is quickly coming to a close.

Lent is traditionally a 40-day period where those who practice it commit to giving up some-thing they love or consider a luxury. Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, and ends the day before Easter for most religions. Different Christian denomina-tions count the days of Lent in various other ways, however, such as excluding Sundays.

Katherine Holzmeister, practicing Presbyterian and senior in communication studies, gave up candy and

sweets for this year’s Lent.“I participate

in Lent because as the years have passed my re-lationship with

God only grows stronger,” Holzmeis-ter said. “I figured that if he can do so much for so many people and sacrifice everything he had

for the well-being of others than I could probably go 40 days without a treat.”

Lent is in commemora-tion for the 40 days that Jesus spent fasting in the desert before the beginning of his public ministry. While

fasting, he endured temptation from Satan.Holzmeister chose to give up candy be-

cause she eats some kind of sweet every day. It is not required by the Presbyterian faith to give up something for Lent, but it is something Holzmeister likes to do. Emilee Harwell, 2006 K-State graduate in business, who gave up chocolate for Lent, agrees with Holzmeister.

“I like the idea of giving up something you really enjoy during the season of Lent,” Harwell said. “Obviously giving up chocolate in no way compares to what Jesus went through and sacri-ficed for us, but it’s a small way to recognize those sacrifices.”

For Harwell, giving up chocolate has other ben-efits. She loves chocolate and often thinks she may be addicted to it.

“Lent is a great way to try and break a bad habit,” Harwell said.

Kelcee Oddo, sophomore in family studies and human services, participated in Lent just to see if she could give up her favorite food, Taco Bell. She does not always participate but was up to the chal-lenge this year.

“It is difficult not to crave Taco Bell, especially after I go out,” Oddo said.

Although there have been times where they all have

wanted to cheat, they still resolve to stay strong on their promises. The commitment has not been easy.

“One of my good friends got married recently and had a number of showers leading up to the wedding. There were M&M’s, my favorite, every-where,” Harwell said.

Harwell, Oddo and Holzmeister have all been making it through with different tactics to keep them focused. Harwell treats herself to something sugary that is non-chocolate once or twice a week. Oddo convinces herself that she actually does not want Taco Bell when she craves it and eats some-thing healthy instead.

“Some days are hard especially when your friends eat doughnuts right in front of your face but I’ve been substituting diet beverages for sweets, which has helped a lot,” Holzmeister said.

All three women are willing to give up some-thing for Lent again next year and in the years to come.

“I will absolutely give up something again next year. I just hope for the sake of everyone around me it’s not candy and sweets again,” Holzmeister said.

When walking down a hallway in Hale Library, it is not uncom-mon to see several students study-ing with headphones in their ears. Music seems to be a general com-panion to students completing homework, writing papers or even brainstorming ideas. Listening to music while working is usually criticized and is even punishable behavior, but studies conducted in several professional and university settings have proven that music can improve student study habits and learning.

Students will rarely listen to music while studying for its study-enhancing value. Shelby Wilson, sophomore in kine-siology, listens to music while studying to help her focus.

“Listening to music helps me,” Wilson said. “I listen to it when I’m reading and when I write. When I’m writing, I usu-ally listen to oldies.”

The idea of music contributing to good grades has been under the scientific eye for quite some time. A July 31, 2010, Psychology Today article by William Klemm said that listening to music acti-vates sound-to-meaning neurons in the brain, which jumpstarts other portions of the brain that allow for faster learning. Re-search in music response has also come with its share of failures, however.

“A few years ago there was that ‘Mozart Effect’ theory,” said Alfred Cochran, professor of music at K-State. “The theory that children grew smarter if you exposed them to Mozart music. Well, after a while we found that there was not truth to that.”

Cochran still noted that there was some connec-tion that his students had to music that was possibly help-ing them succeed in school.

“I’ve had a number of archi-tecture students,” Cochran said. “Those people listen to music all the time. They seem to have a good knowledge of wide arrays of music, because they listen to so much. And these are good students.”

Playing music while studying has also been proven to have scientific links with memory. Klemm’s Psychology Today ar-ticle also states that the ability to remember the lyrics to hundreds of songs is directly related to storing academic information in the brain, and music can link those skills together.

“Engineering students also show this musical knowledge,” Cochran said. “I think there are certain majors that just have music as a constant companion. Archi-tecture and engineering students show, in my experience, the ability to remember and recall music that they like, and explain it.”

Music and studying is not a method that works across the board, especially for college stu-

dents. In 2006, eSchool News re-leased an article that echoed the sentiments of many researchers at that time. The article said that the best studying technique is to be distraction-free, which included music. For some students, any multi-tasking at all could lead to a loss of focus. Still, some K-State students find that music gives them the exact opposite effect.

“Music definitely helps me focus,” said Adam Hanson, fresh-man in biology. “I listen to music for every subject I take. It helps me from becoming distracted.”

When it comes to what kinds of music students listen

to, it’s best to go with things that won’t engross you too much.

“I listen to classical music mainly,” Hanson said. “Music that’s calm or songs that I don’t know the words to yet.”

Studies of the human brain and possible connections between music and learning still contin-ue. Author Daniel J. Levitin has dipped into the subject with his books “The World in Six Songs” and the New York Times bestseller “This Is Your Brain On Music.” Levitin argues that humans’ affin-ity for music allowed them to sur-vive, and at this point, everyone can find a practical connection

with music.“I’ve also had young mothers

in my classes,” Cochran said. “And they tell me that their infants will respond, noticeably, to certain kinds of music. When a mother tells you those things, you believe it.”

As more information about music and its relationship to learning becomes available, stu-dents may want to consider using the strategy to help with especially difficult classes.

“The whole idea is very in-teresting,” Cochran said. “I look forward to research and learning more about how music helps us.”

So, spring break gave you a taste of summer and suddenly you’re running out of reasons to stay motivated this semester. With concerts ahead and sunrays to catch, going to class doesn’t seem so appealing. But as we’ve heard a million times before, this is the home stretch and we’ve got to finish strong. Motivation is different for everyone. Whether you prefer to make a count-down or take the more tough love approach of locking yourself in Hale Library for hours at a time, it’s impor-tant you find what is most effective for you and get through these last weeks.

1. Surround yourself with positive, driven people

Motivation is contagious, so catch it from your peers. Instead of letting chronic complainers influence you, ask a close friend to hold you accountable by sending you a wake-up text to help you make it to class or encourage you to get started on that project you’ve been putting off. You’ll be doing your-self a favor by mimicking the positive attitudes of others and adopting their strategies.

2. Don’t lock yourself away

Find a quiet spot outside to enjoy the nice weather while you work. Somehow reading that textbook doesn’t seem so awful when you’re lying in the grass instead of sitting under florescent lights. Plus you get the added mood-lifting benefits of vitamin C.

3. Take a power nap

There’s nothing more painful than attempting to stay motivated when you have no energy. According to Psychol-ogy Today, napping can sharpen motor skills and enhance your mood. The op-timal nap is 10 to 20 minutes; it won’t leave you feeling groggy or interfere with your sleep that night and might even prevent you from making careless mistakes.

4. Make work into a competition

Whether with yourself or a friend, find ways to make studying into a game. Bet yourself or a friend that you can study for 30 minutes without logging on to Facebook or see who can pull off the highest grade on a quiz.

5. Complete tasks in order from most difficult to most simple

Tackling the most challenging mate-rial will be easier when your mind is still fresh, and it provides the built-in incentive that promises the longer you work, the easier the material will become.

6. Remember what you have to gain

Humans are programmed to re-spond to rewards, so decide what your personal motivation is for working hard and write it down in a place where you can see it every day. Try sticking a Post-it note on your mirror or laptop as a visual reminder of what you are working toward instead of dwelling on what’s to come this summer or tortur-ing yourself by picturing the alterna-tives to studying.

7. Keep it freshStudy with a friend if you usually

study solo or take your books to a coffee shop instead of working at the same spot in the library. Part of the reason you feel unmotivated may be because your academic life has become predictable and boring. Mix it up by livening up your environment.

8. Make a motivation playlist

Whatever you do, don’t include Bruno Mars’ “The Lazy Song.” Not only will music encourage you to get things done, but also, over time, you will sub-consciously associate the songs with a “time to work” mentality. Include songs with simple lyrics that won’t distract you and are upbeat and energizing. Try Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - “Ain’t No Easy Way” or Eric Prydz – “Call On Me.”

9. Put it in perspective

Six weeks of working hard is very little to sacrifice when you compare it to the reward of a high GPA and the relief of finishing the semester to the best of your ability. You had to work hard at some point in your life to get to where you are today, so don’t kid yourself by thinking you don’t have the self discipline or the drive to work hard now.

10. Be realistic

You’re not alone in your feeling anxious for summer’s freedom to arrive. Don’t beat yourself up over past failures, but continue to look forward. If you’ve already settled into a routine of procrastination and putting in a minimum effort, know it’s not to late to break these habits. Acknowledge what you have already accomplished this semester and remind yourself that it’s not worth throwing away.

Lent challenges students to keep 40-day promiseTaylor Wallacecontributing writer

with intellectual disabilities, and even then, the programs were expensive and few could afford it.

Provisions were then enacted in an amendment to the Ameri-cans with Disabilities Act which allowed those with intellectual disabilities to apply for gov-ernment funding such as Pell grants, and a whole new flood-gate of opportunity opened upon an otherwise constrained possibility.

Currently, fewer than a quar-ter of students with intellectual disabilities are able to partici-pate in post-secondary educa-tion, according to an ongoing U.S. Department of Education study. The actual number of stu-dents currently involved or who have been involved in the past was not available.

The American Associa-tion on Intellectual and De-velopmental Disabilities de-fines intellectual disability as, “a disability characterized by significant limitations both in intellectual functioning and in adaptive behavior as expressed in conceptual, social, and prac-tical adaptive skills. This disabil-ity originates before the age of 18. Intellectual disability is the currently preferred term for the disability historically referred to as mental retardation.” ID is also known as cognitive disability or developmental impairment.

The President’s Committee for People with Intellectual Dis-abilities reported that almost one million children ages 6 through 21 have some form of learning disability and receive special education in school. A learning disability can be any-thing from dyslexia to cerebral palsy. Out of that million, nearly 614,000 – 6 percent – of chil-dren ages 3 through 21 have some level of intellectual dis-ability and need special edu-cation in school. The students classified with an intellectual disability usually cannot read beyond a 5th-grade level.

One in 10 of that 6 percent need specialized education. That boils down to, give or take around 61,400 students who need educational assistance in the U.S. who are finished with, or will finish their 12 years of public education in the imme-diate future.

Intellectual disability is mea-sured by general IQ testing. According to the National Dis-semination Center for Children with Disabilities, the average score of an “Intelligence Quo-tient” test is 100. Those who score below a 75 are usually diagnosed with an intellectual disability. About 13 percent of those with intellectual dis-abilities score less than a 50 on standardized IQ tests. The test does not ask questions of facts or math problems, but rather reasoning riddles to solve. The questions usually come in the form of shapes and patterns and require the taker to sort through them.

The causes of these intel-lectual disabilities range from a traumatic incident to genetic conditions.

Genetic conditions are when an intellectual disability is caused by abnormal genes in-

herited from parents or through errors when genes combine. Examples of genetic conditions are Down syndrome, fragile X syndrome and phenylketonuria.

Problems during pregnancy can result in an intellectual dis-ability when the baby does not develop inside the mother prop-erly. For example, there may be a problem with the way the baby’s cells divide as it grows. A woman who drinks alcohol or gets an infection during preg-nancy may also have a baby with an intellectual disability.

If a baby has problems during labor and birth, such as not get-ting enough oxygen, he or she may have an intellectual disabil-ity, which can also translate into health problems in later life. Diseases like whooping cough, the measles, or meningitis can cause a disability. They can also be caused by extreme malnu-trition, lack of medical care, or being exposed to poisons like lead or mercury.

The physical, mental and social repercussions of these disabilities has historically made it difficult for those affected to pursue higher education.

The Americans with Disabili-ties Act was voted into existence

by Congress in 1990, and has undergone a series of amend-ments since then. For the cause of post-secondary education for the intellectually disabled, the most significant amendment

was made in 2008.The amendment specified

what qualifies as an intellectual disability and included them under the protection the act provides. It also prompted the Federal Government to increase funding to 26 different pro-grams across the country and make federal scholarships avail-able, Dwyre said.

Alongside the ADA came an adjusted reauthorization of the Higher Education Act in the same year. Originally drafted and implemented in 1965, the bill has been reauthorized, or

amended and re-passed, mul-tiple times since then. This bill increases access to post-second-ary education options tenfold for those with intellectual dis-abilities. It allows for students

with intellectual disabilities to be eligible for the first time for Pell grants, Supplemental Edu-cational Opportunity Grants and the Federal Work-Study Program.

“Back in the 1980s there were pockets of programs, but not many opportunities other than that,” Dwyre said. “It was mostly the high schools find-ing ways to educate the students after they turned 18. After the federal funding started coming into play in 2008, it kind of snowballed and I think that’s because the right people in fed-

eral government started notic-ing. There are also parents who can see that there are programs, who never imagined that their student could go to college, and now they’re like, ‘wait a minute...’”

The number of students who are currently taking advan-tage of these new allowances in federal policy is not entirely known, Dwyre said. There are however, specific numbers of programs available.

The website thinkcollege.net is dedicated to helping those with intellectual disabilities find college programs suitable for them. The website lists just over 160, but there are others not listed on the site.

Project CLEAR is listed, but Project EXCELL is not. A rep-resentative of thinkcollege.net was not available to explain the criteria by which a college pro-gram is chosen to be represent-ed on their site.

The Think College initiative also provides information to universities who do not current-ly have programs implemented.

There are models of pro-grams for the universities to ex-plore, as well as a list of benefits including local and national

public relations, research op-portunities, fiscal advantages and enhancing accreditation reviews.

Regardless of the benefits to the universities, the research, or the reasons, the students found in an EXCELL classroom on Saturday morning on the K-State campus are enjoying the moment and take pride in what they learn, Bilderback said.

“College teaches kids to be adults, whether it’s running out of money every week, or drink-ing too much,” Dwyre said. “Or learning to manage time or do laundry, they’re learning to be adults, and that’s what we want for every student who is able, regardless of their limitations.”

Dwyre also spoke of the im-portance of society including the intellectually disabled in higher education and the work-force.

“Some people don’t grasp the benefits that could be from inte-grating them into college popu-lations,” she said. “They may not be doing it the same way, or get-ting the same degree, but they’re going out and getting better jobs. They’re trying to become more productive citizens, we really shouldn’t stop them.”
