The student voice of Hutchinson Community College

Let’s get Political: 2018 midterms

By Jared Shuff
Staff Writer
With midterm elections coming up on Nov. 6, it’s more
important than ever to make your voice heard.
There are so many reasons why it’s important to vote,
especially as a college student. This generation has the
ability to shift the political balance, either way, if they
would go to the polls.
Many students are disengaged from political issues,
usually because of a distrust in the government or the
feeling that their vote doesn’t really matter.
The votes of students are incredibly important. This
generation will be the ones to live with whatever changes
are made in our government.
So, in an attempt to gain some interest before the
registration deadline on Oct. 16th, here is a brief summa-
rization of what a few candidates, who will be on the local
ballots, stand for.

‘Breaking Bad’ actor R.J. Mitte speaks about overcoming challenges in his life
By Brenna Eller
Editor-In-Chief
When a child is asked what
they want to be when they grow
up, they hardly ever say sitting in
an office all day or doing some-
thing they aren’t fond of.
Instead they say they want to
be a doctor, firefighter, singer, or
even an actor/actress. The limits
have seemed to change for college
students who once had those
dreams themselves.
Twenty-six-year-old actor,
model, and cerebral palsy activist,
R.J Mitte who spoke at the Ray
Overcoming adversity:
and Stella Dillon Lecture Series
on Tuesday Oct. 2 at the Sports
Arena, explains that no one
should limit themselves on what
they can or can’t do. Mitte spoke
about struggles he has faced with
the condition and stressed the
thought, “Can’t is a decision, and a
mindset.”
Mitte is most known for roles
in television shows, the main one
being Walter White Jr. on AMC’s
hit show “Breaking Bad”, who
has cerebral palsy, same as Mitte,
except in reality, Mitte’s condition
is milder, so he had to slow his
speech and learn to walk with
crutches for the show.
Mitte, like others with CP,
was born with the disorder where
the brain lacks the appropriate
amount of oxygen.
Mitte is also known for char-
acters he played in “Switched at
Birth”, “Weeds”, “Vegas”, and even
acted in “Hannah Montana” and
“Everybody Hates Chris”.
Still acting, Mitte helps with
several charities on the side, such
as Shriners Hospitals for Children,
Special Olympics, ALS Associa-
tions, and many more organiza-
tions dedicated to helping others.
Mitte was born and raised in
Lafayette, Louisiana. From age
3-13, his mother took him to
Shriners Hospital for many types
of therapy and braces. Mitte was
a “severe toe walker and his feet
bent downwards, so he walked on
the tips of his toes, so he had to go
through a lot of physical therapy.
During his lecture, Mitte Janae DeWeese/

What does it mean Decisions, decisions...
to be an adult?
Our view
Whether college
students or high school
students are living with
their parents still, the parent
or parents will often make
the son or daughter pay rent
and help them get ready for
the real world.
This is a great thing
to do and will help them
know how to handle money,
and what to spend on their
needs and wants.
If the parent knows that,
say their son, is in college,
they will often make him
not pay rent.
There are, however, stu-
dents that pay for their car,
phone, other utilities, and
also help out with groceries
at home.
Just like how a regular
adult would pay for all the
things that they own, so the
student should be able to do
the same right?
Yes, if a college student
is unaware on how to spend
Now that October is
here, the fall weather has
set in and cooler tempera-
tures are falling upon us.
Most people love this
type of weather because
it means sweaters, warm
drinks and the upcoming
holidays.
Those are great and all,
but a perk of cooler weather
is being able to wear long
pants. Which means the
action of shaving my legs
becomes forgotten.
My legs will look like
Bigfoot’s in no time, and
they will most likely stay
that way unless a special
situation arises.
Shaving my legs is
probably something I dread
Registering to vote made easy without human interaction
With everything that is
going on with our govern-
ment, I decided it would
be a good idea to finally
register to vote.
Sadly, I had not been
able to vote in the last
presidential election, be-
cause I didn’t turn 18 until
after voter registration had
closed.
So I took it upon myself
to register to show you
fellow youngsters that it
doesn’t take that long at all.

don’t want to deal with
other humans, like me, you

SkillsUSA helping students for their future
By Tabitha Barr
Opinion Page Editor
Skills USA is an
organization that started
in 1965 to help students
better prepare them for their
future jobs.
Hutchinson Community
college partners with Busi-
ness and Industry to further
the options students can
pick from. Through meet-
ings, meeting new people,
and competitions, students
can gain knowledge and
learn what they want to do
in their future.
There are more than
100 areas that students
can compete in, giving a
chance to any student who
wants to participate. Their
goal is to grant students the
opportunity of new knowl-
edge to become “world-
class workers, leaders
and responsible American
Citizens.”

Hutchinson Communi-

perform Thornton Wild-
er’s classic play “Our
Town”. Twelve actors and
one style of performance
come together to tell the
story of Grover’s Corners,
New Hampshire, and two
families over a span of 12
years.
Each act discusses a
different aspect of life,
whether it be mundane
every day life, a wedding,
or a funeral.
Each act is portrayed
using the pantomime style
of acting, which resem-
bles traditional miming
with the use of little to no
props or scenery.

do it as well in hands on

“It’s not just a written
test that you walk away
from, you do the written

Pendergrass said.
The main reason this
is important is because
at these competitions, a
student is most likely being
judged by those who can
hire them.
These people oversee
students who are working
hard and proving they can

competition, but a chance to

Despite his optimism,
growing up with the disor-
der had its challenges. Even
though Mitte participated in
normal childhood activities
like soccer and riding dirt
bikes, he explained what it
was like with bullies.
“People with disabilities
don’t want to be labeled as
disabled,” Mitte said.
He also explained how a
lot of people stand by while
bullying takes place.
“If you see something,
say something,” Mitte said.
“Everyone has the ‘some-
one else will take care of it’
mentality and we need to
break it.”
Mitte followed that
thought with a story in-
volving a blind man on the
same plane as him recently.
The man was in need of
assistance, according to
Mitte, and got lost trying
to figure out where he was
going. Mitte decided to step
up and guide the man, even
though he was a stranger
and several people were
watching the blind man
struggle, yet Mitte was the
only one that took initiative.
From a young age, Mitte
learned the importance of
self-worth. His grandfather
pushed the philosophy of
“Can’t say can’t” and the
idea stuck with him. When
answering his grandpa,
Mitte had two options,
“Yes”, or “I wasn’t in the
room, or didn’t hear you.”
His grandfather showed
him that even though peo-
ple told Mitte he couldn’t
do specific things, that it
was their decision, not his
and wanted him to be the
best he could be.
Mitte not only faced
his own obstacles, but his
family’s as well. When he
was 12-and-a-half years
old, Mitte’s mother was in
a car accident that partially
will be held in the next
coming months for students
who want coordinate and

paralyzed her for seven
years. His grandfather also
suffered a stroke that left
him fully paralyzed on the
left side.
“Without challenges,
where would we be in our
lives?” Mitte said. “It’s
those challenges that shape
us.”
In 2006 Mitte’s family
moved to California to
support his sister, Lacianne,
while she was trying out for
an acting opportunity. That
was also the time, Mitte
was recognized and started
going to acting classes just
for fun and to meet kids his
own age. Before he knew it,
Mitte was pushed into the
entertainment industry, or
as he called it, “The Mob”.

things, but instead reach

said. “Step out of your
realm of comfort.”
When asked earlier
in the press conference
what the overall message
would be to the Hutchin-
son Community College
students, Mitte said,
“Protect your brand and
image, you are cultivating
your business, jobs look
at you as an individual
on social media and what
you represent.”
Mitte also wanted to
inform students that being
aware of who they are and
not being afraid to show
people their true self is
important.
“The people around you
set your tone, if you don’t
stand up for something,
then who will?,” Mitte said.
“We only get one chance to
show people who and what
we are, so stand up for what
you believe in, what we
believe is all we have.”

Hutchinson Community College quarterback Mason Schucker (back) surveys the Butler Community College defense during the Blue Drag-
ons’ 27-13 win on Saturday at BG Products Stadium.
By Rebecca Carney
Co-Sports Editor
The Hutchinson Com-
munity College football
team is off to a hot start
again this season.
The Blue Dragons are
sitting at 5-1 after a big win
over Butler Community
College on Saturday night
at Gowans Stadium. This
5-1 start might look familiar
to some folks, as the Blue
Dragons started 5-1 during
the 2017 season as well.
Although the 2017 Blue
Dragons started 5-1, they
eventually went down a
rocky path. Out of the last
six games the football team
played last year, they only
won two games and fin-
ished 7-5. The team hopes
to avoid a slide like that
again this year.
Blue Dragons coach
Rion Rhoades is more
optimistic about this year’s
finish. The character of the
football team is better than
it has been in years’ past.
The team also seems to be
more prepared and there
seems to be more trust
between the players and
coaches as well.
The team is also still rel-
atively healthy, compared to
last year’s team, which lost
five of their top 12 offen-
sive linemen. As the season
continues, the team hopes
to remain healthy and keep
their attention on the game.
“Our focus is to just
continue to get better at
what we do. Getting off to
a good start is proven to
be an important thing for
us. We’ve just played a lot

the shoot and score some
points right off the bat and

said.
With only five regular

with Saturday’s homecom-

Blue Dragons must contin-
ue to work hard.
