over a week, it started with the bottom of my throat feeling tight and now I have a cough and mucus," Welner said.
Robertson said symptoms like Welner's are typical of any campus space during the start of the semester.
"This time of year, there's a lot of things happening," Robertson said. "Students are in a new environment, in a high-density environment and it's allergy season and there are a number of things that play into that (sickness). If they're not feeling well, get help, that's why the

services are there."
"They're remodeling (Corbin) next year so I feel like they're not even trying to fix the big problems," Welner said.
Corbin Hall is slated to be closed for a year-long renovation at the end of May 2017, according to the Student Housing website.
Robertson mentioned
that students can always communicate issues with members of the hall staff when their resident life is affecting their student life.
However, students said the problems with housing maintenance have still been an inconvenient distraction.
"As a resident, it gets very frustrating having to put up with these problems while I am going to class and participating in organizations," DePew said.

For students who feel hounded by the stress and anxiety of college life, interacting with a furry friend could prove beneficial.
Pause 4 Pups, an event implemented through the collaboration of Watkins Health Services and Loving Paws Animal Therapy first began at the libraries during finals. However, the event was such a hit that the program directors have decided to branch out to other times and places on campus.
"It became so popular with students at the libraries, that we expanded it to the residence halls," said Kelsey Fortin, a health educator at Watkins.
Fortin said the program is beneficial for students, especially freshmen, who may feel homesick for their pets or just home in general.
"According to the National College Health Assessment, the number one academic impediment for
KU students is specifically stress, so we are using animal therapy in stress reduction," Fortin said.
The dogs that are present at Pause 4 Pups are licensed therapy dogs that go through a series of steps to become certified. The program worked to get special approval to have the dogs in any building on campus. Because the dogs cannot be in a carpeted area, tarps are often used. The programs are always away from exits in buildings, and have signage throughout the location.
Loving Paws Animal Therapy provides the dogs for the events, which include various breeds and both male and females.
Raven Rajani, founder and executive director of Loving Paws Animal Therapy, said there wasn't always a local animal therapy service, but now, the therapy dogs are able to provide their de-stressing services to those who need it.
"These dogs bring joy, good health, and good living to vulnerable populations," Rajani said.
Chelsea Tinney is a
freshman from Dodge City. Wednesday night, Pause 4 Pups visited Tinney and other students outside the University's scholarship halls on Louisiana Street. The students said they enjoyed interacting with dogs through Pause 4 Pups, and mentioned how it is effective in reducing stress.
"I think this will help with stress, especially for the people that miss their dogs," Tinney said.
In addition to the Pause 4 Pups events that will be held throughout the school year, Fortin will bring her

"Women have to prove that they are qualified, as the standard is male," she said.
Around 60 individuals attended the event, which was sponsored by the Committee for the Emily Taylor Center, the Marilyn Stokstad Women's Leadership Lecture and the Hall Center.

Lake, who is originally from Montana, has visited the University campus before, once in 2006. She came with Kellyanne Conway, the current campaign manager for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
"Women are poised to serve a pivotal role in the outcome of the 2016 race," Lake said.
Celinda Lake, one of the leading presidential campaign strategists in the United States, visited campus Tuesday night to talk about the important factors affecting this year's presidential election.
1. Women are critical in this year's Presidential election
pressuring the women in their lives to vote the same way they do."
Lake discussed the role of women voters in politics. She stated the different issues that women are worried about, which could range from managing a household budget to terrorism. Later, Lake encouraged women to become involved in politics directly, and explained how it is harder for women to prove that they are hardworking in comparison to men.
Here are three takeaways from Lake's lecture:

2. Men tend to vote Republican while women tend to vote Democratic
Lake pointed out the leanings of women and men in regards to Hillary Clinton and Trump, the Democratic and Republican presidential nominees. She said she has seen increased support and enthusiasm for a woman presidential candidate.
"Women tend to be more democratic and approving of the President," she said. "Women are voting for Clinton, and men are voting for Trump."
3. In particular, Lake encouraged women to vote
Even though women have voted more than men since 1980, Lake said it is vital for women to vote this year.
