It was only supposed to be 10 minutes or so in length.

The Jed Foundation, a national organiza- tion that aims to reduce the number of suicides and cases of depression among college stu- dents, reports that one in 10 college students have considered suicide. After participating in the six-hour Campus Connect training, the participants are qualified to train other members of the campus com- munity. According to Director of Counseling Services John Ropar, although it may take a year or two, he hopes to extend the training to other faculty and staff on campus who have a great deal of interaction with students, such as coaches, campus ministry and resident advisors. Pat Lyden, executive director of the Sui- cide Prevention Education Alliance of North- east Ohio, said that while gatekeeper training for university employees is vitally important, it is not enough. “Adults are not the people who know when a young person has a plan for suicide,” Lyden said. “Ninety percent of young people – high school and college [age] – tell a friend of their suicide intention or suicidal ideation.

Emily Gaffney Campus Editor

John Carroll University is participating in a program beginning this semester aimed at helping military veterans afford a college education. This program, known as the Yellow Rib- bon program, was initiated by the U.S. De- partment of Veterans Affairs to help offset the high costs of a private university education, which could not be completely covered by the Post-9/11 GI Bill. The Post-9/11 GI Bill provides financial assistance to veterans serving after Sept. 11, 2001. The amount of assistance provided to veterans depends on the amount of time they have served and the highest aid is based on the tuition of the most expensive state school within the particular veteran’s state. Veterans Affairs asked private universities to participate in the Yellow Ribbon program which stipulated that Veterans Affairs would cover half of the tuition costs that were left after the GI Bill funding, if private universi- ties would match the Yellow Ribbon funding. Only veterans who have served at least 36 months total or have 30 or more consecutive days with disability related discharge are eligible for the program. JCU approved participation in this pro- gram last summer, calling their matching funds the Patriot Award.

According to Chinese Large Intestine medical theory, there is energy, known as the Chi, that constantly flows through our bodies making us healthy. This energy circulates through 12 main chan- nels, called meridians, which run above our vital 8 organs. Usually the Chi flows easily through 2 the meridians. But when we experience intense 1 emotions–such as stress or anxiety–the Chi is blocked, leading us to experience pain. According to Julie Petrarca, a practicing acu- 7 puncturist in Cleveland, “The goal of acupuncture 10 Gall Bladder is to find the imbalance being caused by a block- age and cure it.” After a few sessions of acupuncture, the Chi returns to its normal level, and most of the pain goes away. 6 Kidney According to the World Health Organization, today acupuncture is used in the U.S. to treat a wide variety of physical problems, ranging from sinusitis to joint problems. Liver Jane Killian, a JCU senior, lived with chronic Spleen back and neck pain for almost 10 years.

This is an issue that affects all current students because fewer students mean less tuition money coming in to the University. That means less Student Activity Fees were

collected, equating to less funding for student programming and less to invest in faculty, staff and technology to offer the best educational opportunities. Much of the blame for this low enrollment can be placed

on the recession. Vice President for Enrollment Brian Wil- liams and his staff have put in a lot of hard work bringing in students from all over the country. Also, faculty has foregone salary increases so the University can invest as much as possible into student financial aid. The University might try to look into more alumni do- “

nations. Contacting alumni and letting them know, if they Cartoon by Joe Hinkel don’t already know, what the University and faculty have been doing to provide more student financial aid could be enough to make a difference. NOTABLE QUOTABLE Another way to reach out to potential students is to have academic departments bring groups of high school students to campus for conferences and workshops like the annual “I just told Plaxico, ‘You almost feel like you’re walking Urban Journalism Conference.
