Hutchinson Community College was recently named as the top dog of community colleges in Kansas. The web site, known as Stacker, ranked the college taking in many different aspects, such as student-to-faculty ratio, in-state and out-of-state tuition, and employment rate two years after graduation. Also mentioned in the article was the transfer agreement with every Kansas Regents university and college, a major benefit that helps HutchCC stand out above other community colleges. With the college having
more than 50 degree programs, and having the ability to provide students knowledge for the future no matter what route they take, HutchCC is above the rest. “HutchCC is proud that our outstanding institution was recognized as the Best Community College in Kansas,” HutchCC president Carter File said. “This provides acknowledgement of the great work our faculty and staff do on behalf of our students
and the community. It also confirms the value a student receives from Hutchinson Community College when they entrust us as their high-
er education partner. It lends support to what we all feel, Hutchinson Community College is the premier twoyear college in Kansas.”

Another campus parking dilemma By Laci Sutton Staff Writer
Picture this - you wake up at 7:45 a.m., your first class of the day starts in 15 minutes. You fly out of bed, throw on the closest pieces of clothing, brush your teeth, grab your belongings, and rush out the door. You get your car started, but quickly realize the Kansas winter weather is not your friend. Jumping out of your car, you carelessly scrape your windows and get back in. Shivering from the frigid air, you’re ready to put the pedal to the metal. You arrive safely to campus and are about to pull into the same lot you’ve parked in every day since you started classes when you see it. “No Parking - Vio-
lators may be subject to being towed.” You groan looking at the time, quickly get your car moved, park, and rush into class just as your professor is about to begin. You look at them apologetically and find your seat, ready to get your day going. While this may sound like a nightmare to some, it could become a reality for the students and staff at Hutchinson Community College. On the west side of Plum Street between 11th and 12th avenues, there is an unpaved parking lot that the landowners have allowed HutchCC students and faculty to use for many years. At the beginning of this year, the college was informed that this lot will no longer be available for use. “They are preparing

both the lot and adjacent property for sale,” said Don Rose, HutchCC Director of Facilities. “No Parking” signs will be posted, and violators may be subject to towing. “I would not expect to see public parking here again,” Rose said. With the retraction of this parking lot, there are a few alternatives for commuting students. There are paved lots available located across the street from the Cosmosphere (southeast corner of 11th Ave. and Plum Street), across the street from Rimmer Learning Center (west side of Plum between 12th and 13th), and the main lot located between Parker Student Union, Lockman Hall, and Shears Technology Center.

Well ladies and gents, welcome back to another semester at Hutchinson Community College. I hope everyone had a great break away from classes and campus. With that said, I’m jumping right in, folks. So I was scrolling on Twitter when I saw a link to an article titled “Clearview AI app lets strangers find your name, info, all with a snap of a photo.” My first thought being: “Uhm excuse me?

The way the school handled this is wrong in so many ways, discriminating a community to the point where they’re not only getting backlash from the community but the entire world. It was trending on Twitter and brought attention to the school, most of it bad publicity. We understand that private schools have their own set of rules because they are privately funded. However, discriminating against someone for wearing and celebrating with a rainbow is
not a good enough reason to expel them. They cited her actions being “unchristian-like” but who determines what that is? The Christain Bible can be interpreted in many different ways. For a religion that wants to spread love and help people in their biblical ways, they sure are hypocritical against their own rules. Can we not just let people live their own lives? We’re all here for a reason, who says one way is the only way? We are a diverse world, hate is not welcome here.

If WW’s overall goal is to help people be healthier, they are creating so many other illnesses that it’s hurting way more than it’s helping. WW tracks your food in a point-tracking system. For those who obsess over calories and how many types of food you intake, it’s a destroyer. I’ve learned that I cannot track my calorie intake. I obsess and overthink everything I am eating and have eaten. I get down on myself when I have certain types of food or too much of one. It’s not something I can get past because my body weight is still something that affects me more than I want to admit. I’m trying to appreciate my body, no matter what weight it is. I think as a society, we need to learn that our bodies are just an extension of us. The way they look, how much they weigh, how different everyone’s is, doesn’t matter in the real world.

TikTok, watch the clock
Users may be spending too much time on entertainment app By Emily Branson Staff Writer
What started as a Chinese-based app has now turned into a global sensation for teenagers and young adults. In September 2017, the mobile app TikTok was launched. TikTok is directed toward teenagers, and it allows video posting and sharing. Videos are less than a minute long and include lip-syncing, comedy and talent. Within four months of its launch, the app was ranked No. 1 in freemobile-app downloads in Thailand and other countries. TikTok quickly became the world’s most downloaded app in the Apple Store, with more than 104 million downloads. Buhler freshman Kelsi Hilger is a TikTok user who finds entertainment in the app. “Most of the videos are pretty funny,” Hilger said. “The most entertaining videos are the funny ones. The dancing ones are cool but the funny ones are way better.”

However, some critics have begun to question whether or not TikTok can become harmful or addictive to its users. Many teenagers have found themselves spending hours a day on the app. “I do think the app can become addicting,” Hilger said. “I feel that way in every social media app. People get lost in the app and don’t realize how much time they put into staring at their phone watching videos.” Buhler freshman Faith Kretzer also thinks that TikTok can become addicting for users. “Becoming TikTok famous is a big deal,” Kretzer said. “The more you watch the videos, the more you want to try to make them better.” Kretzer spends approximately one or two hours a day on the app, which is comparatively simi-
lar to the average time a TikTok user spends each day watching or uploading videos. According to filtergrade.com, users spend about an hour at a time on the app. About 70% of these users are watching videos, while about 50% are uploading videos of their own. With the majority of the TikTok users between the ages of 16 and 24, the possibilities are endless as to what could be created in the videos. “I find it entertaining,” Kretzer said. “It’s just video after video and they’re all so different. I think the most entertaining thing is how dumb some of the videos are.” One thing is for sure, whether it is dumb, humorous, or talented, TikTok has found a way to entertain millions of people across the globe, with videos under 60 seconds.

Blue Dragons rout Dodge City
Athlete of the week
By Bailey Pennycuff Co-Sports Editor
(Jan. 12-18) Andrew Kibet, Track and field
After facing some heartbreaking losses, the Hutchinson Community College men’s basketball team earned a big win at the Sports Arena on Wednesday. The Blue Dragons defeated the Dodge City Conquistadors 92-75. Throughout the game, Hutch never lost its lead once they scored their first point. The Blue Dragons started off well - not even 10 points into the game, freshman forward Majok Kuath saw the opportunity to penetrate Dodge City’s defense with a slam dunk, and he executed. Although Hutch had the lead all throughout the first half, the second half is when the Blue Dragons truly portrayed their offensive talent. Both teams displayed minor errors, however, one key factor could have been honed by the Blue Dragons. “The second half was a lot better offensively, but we definitely need to rebound more - we have to get better, much better,” HutchCC coach Steve Eck said. Of Hutchinson’s 92 points, they were all spread out. Freshman guard Clarence King had 12 points, sophomore guard Saquan Singleton and freshman guard Josh Baker each had 16
The week: Kibet opend the indoor season with a strong performance at the Shocker Prelude in Wichita Kibet on Jan. 18. Kibet broke the school record for the indoor 600 meters, winning the event in a time of 1 minutes, 19.35 seconds. That mark also set a meet record, and broke the Heskett Center record. The mark also qualified Kibet for the NJCAA Indoor Championships in March. The season: Kibet, a sophomore from Kenya, missed his freshman indoor season with an injury. He now holds three school track or cross country records, including the cross country 8,000-meter mark and the outdoor track 800 meters.

points, and Kuath had 19 points. Due to the total of 20 points from fastbreaks, the Blue Dragons got to spend more time playing defense than offense. They kept the pace of the game going quickly, and they seemed to feed off of the rising intensity. “When we get points off fastbreaks, I think it
gives us all a boost of confidence,” King said. “We get pretty hype to the easy points like that, and thanks to our defense, we get a lot of them.” Early in the game, sophomore guard D.J. Mitchell was injured. With only six minutes elapsed, Mitchell was taken out of the game
and would not return. He was later diagnosed with a concussion and will most likely have to sit out the next game, possibly the next couple of games. Mitchell is one of the leading scorers at 14 points a game, a large part of the team. However, his absence did not seem to stun the Blue
Dragon’s ambition to defeat Dodge. “When something like that happens, it’s just the next man up. Clarence did a good job stepping in and doing his job,” Eck said. The win against Dodge City was well-fought for after having five members of the teams battling the flu.
Strong third quarter propels HutchCC women past Conqs By Adam Kolb Co-Sports Editor
The Hutchinson Community College women’s basketball team got a huge victory against the Dodge City on Wednesday night at the Sports Arena. The Blue Dragons picked up their 69th win all time against Dodge City, and it was a dominant game all around for the Blue Dragons, in their 8350 win. The Blue Dragons finished the first half with 32 points, but after halftime, the Blue Dragons scored 31 points in the third quarter alone. They were scoring with ease, and the defense played a big part in that. “We got off to a great start in the second half,” said HutchCC coach John Ontjes. “We created a lot of turnovers, which led to a lot of layups and easy baskets. The biggest difference in the game was how we started that third quarter.”
The defense for the Blue Dragons was relentless in the third quarter, picking up nine steals, including three from freshman guard Tor’e Alford, and two steals from sophomore guards Makayla Vannett, Sasha Francis, and Abby Ogle. “Defensively, we all stepped up and were ready to play,” Ogle said. “We were making the right passes on offense as well, doing those types of things.” The Blue Dragons made 12 of 16 shots in the third quarter. It was the sixth time this season they scored at least 30 points in one quarter. The Blue Dragons improve to 18-2 on the season, 10-1 in the Jayhawk West, and are on a fourgame winning streak. The next game for the Blue Dragons will be on Sunday at Colby, where the team will look to a push the win streak to five.
