Day is Near for Swoop

How copyright infringement affects the creative process Natasha Nellis Chief Copy Editor Many students who work in content creation often encounter the grey area that exists between original content and adapting someone else’s work to fit one’s own concepts.

Often times, students play a stressful game of jump rope with that line, a game that often blurs the boundaries between legality and fair use.

This is a topic that Marcus Robinette, an EWU senior who is working on his

second design degree, is working on his directed study Visual Communication Design (VCD) project.

“Something that strikes me is the fear instilled in students about copyright infringement,” said Robinette. “There is an unhealthy fear of [it].”

He went on to say that often times, student creativity is brought to a screeching halt when questions of legality come into question concerning their projects and said he worries that the university is impairing the ability to explore certain ideas.

It was along this line of thinking, Robinette

said, that led him to find a path that allowed him to discover a way around the rules.

Ginelle Hustrulid, assistant professor in VCD who worked with Robinette, said “We had to do some creative exploration, how do you get around this, we create a new university.”

Robinette’s project creates an alternate EWU, dubbed Eagle Washingtons University, that allows students to design EWU, Eagle Washingtons University, themed sticker packs. The project is open to anyone who wishes to contribute and help to create this alternate reality sticker

pack that will be made available on the iOS iMessage App store.

Hustrulid said the VCD department has a permit to create and sell sticker packs such as these through the iOS iMessage App store. The project launched at the beginning of winter break and students can contribute their works to the site to create their own sticker packs.

“Emojis seem to be the way we communicate,” Hustrulid said.

Continued on page 4...

The Easterner January 12, 2017 | 3

Copyright Continued...

Robinette said that the main reason he chose sticker packs as the medium was because he wanted to stay current on the trends, especially after Apple launched a store specifically to sell emoticons and sticker packs.

“It’s meant to be satirical,” said Robinette. “Making just enough change to make it legal.”

The current EWU copyright policy states that “Copyright infringement is the violation of any of a copyright owner’s exclusive rights … Generally, a person must obtain a copyright owner’s permission before reproducing copyrighted material. There is an exception for educational, instructional, research, scholarship and similar activities that fall within the legal doctrine of ‘fair use.’”

Commonly included in almost every professor’s syllabus, a small paragraph is included detailing plagiarism rules and the EWU policy that if you are caught copying someone else’s work, you will fail the class and be referred to Student Rights and Responsibilities, which remains on your record.

Take a step beyond the safety of the university and any form of copyright

infringement or real world plagiarising can result in one losing their job or facing legal charges.

Robinette said the idea of his project is to blur the lines between copyright infringement and transformative use.

“It’s an interesting conversation between designers and the university [about using copyrighted material],” Hustrulid said.

According to the U.S. Copyright Office, transformative use is known as “those that add something new, with a further purpose or different character and do not substitute for the original use of the work.”

“Historically, if you took someone’s own photograph and changed it into a three color posterized image, it would be considered an original piece of art,” Robinette said.

Robinette cited the works of Andy Warhol as an example and said “part of why I like to play with those ideas [is because] some of my favorite artists, contemporary artists, work exclusively with other works.”

Hustrulid said she and several other faculty members want to use the project as a fundraiser for the VCD club to raise money to have guest speakers visit their club. Ideas included printing the Eagle Washingtons University mascot - a chicken named dooms - on a t-shirt and selling it to students, as well as making the sticker packs be free to download but include in-app purchases.

Hustrulid said dooms is meant to portray the dark side of the world, where as Swoop represents the light side.

Also included on the t-shirt would be the project motto, “Washington’s Only Plural” a play on the creation of an alternate university and what that would look like through student designs. •

VCDC is set to release flyers and promote the project by the end of this week, and students can submit works to the Eagle Washingtons University website at http:// eaglesstickerpackproject.com/.

Grove Assault Suspects Get New Trial Date The suspects in the The Grove assault incident, John T. Mellgren and Damian Dunigan Jr., have a new criminal trial date of Jan. 30 at 9:30 a.m. The assault happened during the evening hours on Oct. 8, 2016. Mellgren and Dunigan Jr. have pled not guilty to the attempted murder in the first degree charges.

Food Trucks Appear on Campus Food trucks will be located near Monroe Hall for the next 18 months. EWU has contracted with The Spokane Food Truck Association to accommodate the vendors, and if more vendors decide to enter a contract with EWU, three or more food trucks will be on campus.

The current vendors accept debit, credit and cash, and they will eventually be accepting student payment methods that are given through EWU. The trucks are open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Students are Advised to Move Vehicles for Plow

Safety Abroad Preperation was key for EWU Study Abroad students this past summer in Nice, France Kristi Lucchetta News Editor This past summer, a group of EWU Study Abroad students were visiting France when an act of terrorism struck Nice, France. The incident occurred when a truck drove through a crowd killing and injuring about 100 people, when he opened fire.

Because of the set safety protocols of the EWU Crisis Management Plan, the majority of students, 13 out of 15, were accounted for within 30 minutes of the attack. The whole group was reported safe approximately three hours after the attack said Megan Abbey, EWU Global Programs administrator.

All faculty leaders are trained in The Crisis Management Plan, which instructs the leaders on how to find shelter, locate and report on student conditions and who to contact in both the current country they are in and Cheney.

“In cases where we work with third party providers, we are in

constant contact with their on-theground program representatives when our students are in the country,” Abbey said.

The study abroad program has a 24-hour emergency phone line that students are provided with, as well as multiple other forms of contact prior to departure. These forms of communication are to increase communication in the event of any emergency.

The Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) is a program that U.S. citizens enroll with the local U.S. embassy or consulate. Before departure, students are required to register with the U.S. State Department STEP registry.

According to STEP’s official website, STEP is a free service to allow U.S citizens and nationals traveling abroad to enroll their trip with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate. Registering with STEP helps protect travelers during any emergency and allows them to receive important information from the Embassy about safety conditions in destination

countries to help make informed decisions about travel plans.

Abbey said she was worried that students would be deterred from the program after the incident, but the study abroad program has not seen a decrease among student interest. In recent years, the study abroad program has sent about 100 students each year, with that number continuing to grow.

A faculty-led group from the Psychology of Science in Literature department, along with the History and Practice group, will take around 30 EWU students to London and Paris for two weeks this upcoming spring.

Despite the incident, the study abroad program projections show that the program will most likely exceed 100 students abroad in the 2016-17 school year. •

During the high increase of snow, students are advised by The City of Cheney to move cars off the streets after midnight so the snow plow can easily clear the roads. Lot 12 is always free parking and many other lots are available for free pakring after 5 p.m. See parking services for additional information..

Flu Season Has Arrived Flu activity continues to rise in Spokane County and this season viruses have taken the life of a vaccinated female in her 100s with underlying health conditions. As of now, 82 individuals have been hospitalized because of cold-related conditions. These symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, runny/stuffy nose, muscle/body aches, headaches and fatigue.

“I Fall to Pieces”, “Churro Know My Life” and “Don’t Be Self-Conchas” by Jake Prendez | Colette-Janaé Buck for The Easterner

Churro Know My Life: A Look into Chicano/Chicana Culture, Social Justice and Pop Culture Colette-Janaé Buck Copy Editor Art for humanity has always been one of the most powerful tools used to enact social and political commentary. Its forms of oil and acrylic paintings, prismacolor pieces and written word and prose allow for a creative outlet to publicly discuss topics that would otherwise be hidden and shied away from being vetted and versed.

Artists like Jake Prendez, a renowned visual artist and current exhibit host of EWU’s student Gallery, are leaders in this form of artistic social commentary. They incite dialogues through visually beautiful and intriguing pieces that make you stop and stare to uncover all the meanings and feelings that are being conveyed by the fluorescent, painted canvases.

For Prendez, his oil paintings and print work aims to give vocalization to the many aspects of Chicano, Chicana history, heritage and pop culture while using his life experiences to add a personal touch.

“My style and pieces are really influenced by a mixture of the many experiences of my life,” said Prendez. “There’s a little bit of LA, Seattle, Chicano, Chicana culture and Rockabilly style; I just put it all in a blender and pour it onto a canvas.”

The influences Prendez speaks of are very apparent in the arrangement of his pieces.

The bright colors and thick and purposefully unrealistic painted lines give a nod to the art created during the 1960s Chicano, Chicana art movement, El Movimiento.

A majority of Prendez’s pieces featured at the EWU Student Gallery are set up to be portraits and feature Chicano, Chicana persons or figures holding items or wearing various garments that are particular to or are commonly seen in Chicano culture.

One particular piece, “You Know What I Mean, Jelly Bean” (2014), showcases a Chicano male posing in a blue bandana, presumably seen to be a “Cholo,” or a Chicano street gang member.

Prendez said the painting was a satirical homage to the 1990s chicano gang movie, Blood and Blood Out that he said was a movie which resonated with almost all young Chicano males in the 1990s.

The name of the piece refers to a famous line from one of the movie’s main characters, Paco.

The man featured in Prendez’s work seems stoic and almost as if he is projecting his exterior beyond the limits of his physical body. He is preserving the media’s presented ideal image of a Cholo hard and unforgiving.

It is one of my favorite pieces in the exhibit as the way Prendez has painted the man’s face gives it a provoking spin. It presents the figure as much more than just his image while still emphasising the cultural importance of that image.

“Cultural resistance: We Still Exist” (2015), is another piece that drew me in the moment I saw it. The symmetry and arrangement of the pieces paired with the bright colors that sit behind each of the faces captivate you and invite you to stay

and see the many facets of a culture that have been made to feel silenced and erased.

Prendez said the idea behind painting modern Chicanos and Chicanas with overlaying indigenous symbols came from getting tired of people referring to the Aztecs and Mayan peoples as extinct.

“Our culture survives through us,” said Prendez.

“Our ancestors are now in our eyelashes and our eyebrows, and I think that is so cool.”

The four works combined feature four of Prendez’s friends dressed in modern clothing while being decorated with various symbols and markings of the indigenous Aztec and Mayan Chicano, Chicana peoples laid on top.

I appreciate the juxtaposition that Prendez has used to highlight and visualize the existence of the indigenous Chicano and Chicanas of today. The figures stand tall and proud of their heritage in each of their portraits, fighting to say that their people are not just thoughts of the past but are still here,

living through the food and the celebrations held.

Each of the individual pieces echo the title of the collection, the way their faces are held high lets the viewer know they are in fact here and refuse to let their culture be left unseen and unacknowledged any longer.

The exhibit is a great experience for those who admire the styles of El Movimento and Chicano, Chicana street art and for those who would like to learn more about it. Prendez does a great job of painting visually intriguing pieces that packs a plethora of meaning behind each brush stroke while inviting you to think about and converse on those meanings.

Jake Prendez’s “Churro Know My Life” exhibit is open from noon to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday until Feb. 13. A lecture given by Prendez himself will be held today from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. in Tawanka 215 BC with an artist’s reception from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the EWU Student Gallery following the lecture. •

Food Review

Barrelhouse: the New Zentropa Erin Rebar A&E and Features Editor Barrelhouse Pub and Pizza, formerly known as Zentropa Pizzeria and Pub, feels like the kind of place you’d find in a college town. Its brick walls, decorated in old barrels that echo its name, feel hip and down to earth.

Located just off of college row in downtown Cheney, Barrelhouse is the perfect place to spend a Friday night out.

Barrelhouse’s new owner, Mike Lyon, said that the food menu didn’t change with the change of ownership. The original staff remains as well, a fact Lyon attributes to their ability on the job.

Lyon also decided to change up the drink menu, adding hard liquor as well as more diversity to the beer menu. Menu prices are the same, but the hours have

changed. Barrelhouse opens at 11 a.m. daily and closes at 2 a.m.

According to Austin Tofell, a server at the restaurant, Barrelhouse’s on-tap brews go through a frequent rotation.

Currently, they are offering a cranberry hard cider made by One Tree. On Tofell’s recommendation, I gave it a shot.

I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t like alcohol, but even I found the flavor of One Tree Cranberry Cider quite satisfying. The tang of cranberry was very present and featured an earthier flavor than you might expect from a beer. Tofell said Barrelhouse frequently offers One Tree drinks on their menu.

As an appetizer, I ordered Barrelhouse’s popular wedgies.

Wedgies are finger sized bits of scratch-made dough, brushed with garlic butter and liberally powered with parmesan cheese. As simple

as that combination sounds, it is extraordinarily effective. I find traditional pizza sides, such as cheese bread, to be too greasy for my taste. Wedgies are greasy but not too much, and the flavor of the warm, freshly made bread combined with the texture of the powdered parmesan cheese really makes this side top-notch. Indulge yourself and dip a bread bite in the provided tomato sauce or housemade pesto ranch, but don’t forget that you still have to save room for the main course.

I was recommended the Thai Pizza by Tofell, who said that this particular dish was one of Barrelhouse’s more unique — and yet still extremely popular — offerings.

The Thai pizza is made with peanut sauce, mozzarella, chicken, red peppers, red onions and cilantro, and is topped with a swirl of Sriracha sauce.

My first opinion of this pizza is that it is not for everyone, myself included. The combination of flavors, however, is fascinating. I am not a fan a sriracha, which is what turned me off to this particular dish. The sriracha was potent, and if you don’t like the flavor, this pizza should get a solid pass. If, however, you like sriracha, I would definitely give this pizza a try. The peanut sauce tastes lovely beneath the mozzarella cheese, offering each slice a slightly creamy texture.

Because of the sriracha, the pizza itself was quite spicy and left me sniffling by the end of the meal.

Barrelhouse is a great pizzajoint and offers a lot of unique options. For those who wouldn’t be a fan of the Thai, the Pesto Pizza, Chicken Pizza and Garden Goddess Pizza are all delicious options that I personally recommend. •

EWU alum Tod Marshall was elected the 2016- 2018 Washington State Poet Laureate Contributed by Tod Marshall

Poetry: More Than Just Art

EWU alum and poet Tod Marshall believes in the importance of the humanities Erin Rebar A&E and Features Editor In a world that tends to undervalue the importance of the humanities, poetry is like a heartbeat, said EWU alum Tod Marshall said in an email.

“We live in a world where grotesque consumerism, banal oversimplification and mind-numbing tech distractions play far, far too large a role in shaping many people’s conception of what it is to be human, to be alive,” said Marshall. “I believe that poetry,

12 | January 12, 2017 The Easterner

that the arts and humanities in general, can help wake us up from that death-in-life.”

In February 2016, Marshall, who is also a professor at Gonzaga University, was named the Washington State Poet Laureate.

Marshall said the position was designed to promote awareness and appreciation of poetry throughout Washington state.

Marshall will be the state’s poet laureate until 2018. Until then, he will be leading a near constant stream of events, including readings, workshops and lectures.

“It’s a challenge to think of all of the

different ways of addressing different audiences about poetry,” said Marshall. “It hasn’t happened often, but I have found myself talking to middle school students, grad student poets and community members about poetry in a single day; that means I need to think of three different approaches for how to increase awareness and appreciation of poetry. One method wouldn’t be best for all three groups.”

Despite its challenges, being the poet laureate has been a rewarding experience.

“The greatest reward is when I feel pretty

confident that the people with whom I’ve shared some time appreciate poetry,” said Marshall. “It’s happened a lot.”

Marshall attended EWU as a grad student from 1990 to 1992. During that time, he took part in EWU’s MFA program in poetry writing. According to Marshall, the program was small at the time but its professors were outstanding. He came to view them as mentors and felt blessed by the opportunity to learn under them.

Before coming to Cheney, Marshall had never set foot in Washington state.

“I took a leap of faith and ended up in a place that nurtured and challenged me,” Marshall said.

Marshall said he believes poetry and the arts are important to everyone because they change the way people experience the world.

“Language used precisely, language used with a pleasurable attention to sound, language used with an intent to explore mystery or to offer some new vision of the great mystery of what it is to be human: these are all ways that poetry matters,” Marshall said. •

“I believe that poetry, that the arts and humanities in general, can help wake us up from that death-in-life.”

The EWU choirs and the Spokane Symphony Chorale have performed together on multiple occasions. Working with the Chorale provides students with the opportunity to perform pieces that they could not do by themselves because of the size of choir and symphony needed, Ploeger said.

Now that Ploeger works for both choirs, organization for coordinated events is a lot easier. This year, EWU Symphonic Choir will be singing Verdi’s “Requiem” and Vaughan Williams’ “Serenade to Music” with the Spokane Symphony, the Symphony Chorale and Gonzaga University’s Chamber Choir.

Above all, Ploeger said that she considers the ability to be a university level educator a great gift.

“This opportunity is one that I value above all else,” said Ploeger. “I intend, with optimism and resourcefulness, to continue to grow and be an asset to students’ growth into capable, reflective, empathetic and productive human beings.” •

Abbi Vance for The Easterner

ASEWho? ASEWU has been a part of our institution for over 150 years, and it seems like student involvement since then has seriously declined.

Students these days either don’t have the time, aren’t willing to participate or don’t have adequate access to the government that is meant to reflect their voices.

We asked students on campus about their knowledge of ASEWU and several students responded saying that they had no knowledge of ASEWU functions. They also said they had no way of being able to participate because they hadn’t seen any advertising or outreach that they noticed advocating for ASEWU sponsored events.

“To an extent yes, I occasionally get asked to participate, but I rarely see advertising for ASEWU,” EWU senior Shawn Peterson said.

Those who do express having knowledge of ASEWU stated that their knowledge about ASEWU stemmed from having some sort of direct connection to the organization, either through friends or acquaintances.

“Yes I do. I have a sorority sister in ASEWU, so we always know what’s going on,” EWU sophomore Cassady Reeves said.

This year ASEWU is working to increase the amount of student involvement for their functions, including increasing student attendance at council meetings and work sessions as well as getting students to come to their table for more than a free t-shirt.

Some of the ways they are implementing this project is by streaming live feeds of their council and work session meetings on Facebook, moving their council

meetings to a more high traffic area of campus - you may have come across a meeting on your treks through the library - as well as increasing their social media presence, Christopher Ryckman, ASEWU public relations specialist, said.

“I feel like [student involvement] this year is increasing, but I still feel like students don’t know as much [as we’d like] about ASEWU,” said Ryckman. “One of our main goals this year is to get students involved … We are the voice of the student body, the middle man, the liaison between students and the higher ups.”

Ryckman said one of their big projects this year is advocating for a remodel or rebuild of the Science Building, stating that this year is a budget year - meaning a decision will be made - and the ASEWU legislative liaison is currently in Olympia working to get funding approved.

So why should students take time out of their daily schedules to get involved in student government?

The easy answer is that being involved is the most effective way to have your voice heard, but in this day and age, with social media having such a strong presence in our day to day lives, having our voices heard isn’t the most miraculous feat of the day. For some, it would honestly be more of a struggle not to post.

The point is, having your voice be heard is easy to do but getting involved in student government, getting involved in any form of government, gives you the opportunity to work to truly promote change. Sure, you can toss your voice into the endless

void that is the internet or you can choose to work with a group that is solely focused on making a change, that benefits students, that backs your beliefs and gives you a legitimate platform on which to spread your ideas.

Most everyone on this campus is of legal voting age, and even if you are not, you are still eligible to vote on the issues that are presented in ASEWU council meetings. So, why would you not take advantage of the opportunity you have been given?

Sure, you can expect to be here at EWU for four years, which doesn’t seem like a significant chunk of time in the long run, but you are paying thousands of dollars to have a college experience, so why not work with others to ensure that you are getting the most out of what little time you are given here.

Trust us, turn off the television, click that little red x in the corner of the screen, pull yourself away from binge-watching Netflix and take an hour to get involved in the work that is being done right outside your door.

Last year, ASEWU only had 8.377 percent of students vote in their election, around 1,097 out of the total 13,095 eligible voters at EWU, according to the ASEWU website. A sad, sad number really.

EWU is our place. It’s our home, our classroom, our life for the time being. ASEWU is our voice to the people who make the decisions.

When we stop caring about them, we lose the ability to make the changes that matter to us. •

Don’t Starve Together

Subscription boxes are ideal for a budget-crunched student on the go

Colette-Janae Buck Copy Editor Two of the most difficult to come by concepts, for college students, in today’s age are time and money. We have no time to shop, play video games or converse with our friends down at the bar because we’re working and studying. We have no time to really work and make a sufficient amount of money because we’re also studying, and what suffers, sadly, is our wardrobe.

Leggings, Eagle sweatshirts and Sorel boots have become such a common trend on campus that I can only infer that my fellow Eagles might need a push in the right direction to get their winter wardrobe in order while still bowing down to the constant time and money constraints that college demands.

Enter clothing subscription boxes.

You’ve undoubtedly heard about them, their ease and how fashionable they will make you while they help you rebuild your wardrobe from the ground up. But are they really worth it to a struggling college student? It depends on how much you’re willing to spend and what type of monthly arrangement you are looking for.

Different boxes have different methods of how you pick out your clothes and how you pay for them, but the overall concept is pretty much universal.

Boxes like Five Four Club, a men’s style box, offer trendy clothing for a flat membership rate of $60 per month. You keep all the clothing that is sent to you which can total up to or over $120 dollars worth of clothing.

When signing up, there are four style profile options to choose from, casual, forward, classic and mixed. Once you

choose which profile best describes you, you are asked to choose between either a complex color scheme or a more neutral color scheme and your clothing size, which ranges in availability from small to XXXL for tops and from 29 in to 44 in pants sizes. Finally, you are asked what kind of fit you prefer for your bottoms. The options range from slim to relaxed fit, but some fits are not available in certain sizes.

With Five Four club, because they are an independent brand that makes the clothing they ship in house, they don’t accept returns on the items you’re sent.

Boxes like Stitch Fix, a subscription box for both men and women, offers a buy or return type of box. You are charged an initial $20 styling fee per month for the box you receive, which features five items of clothing. After three days, you can choose to either send the clothing back and receive your next box or you can take the styling fee and apply it to the cost of any pieces or items of clothing you want to purchase from that month’s box. Keep in mind, whatever you do not send back you will be charged for.

Signing up for Stitch Fix is a little more complicated than Five Four Club. You’re asked to first create an account, by either entering your email or logging in with Facebook.

You are then required to take a style quiz which asks you your dress size and your body measurements. From there, Stitch Fix asks you a variety of questions regarding your personal style, what specific body parts you enjoy flaunting or highlighting, what items you enjoy wearing most and what price ranges you prefer for the items you receive. You also have the option to tell Stitch Fix what items you constantly want included in your box or what items you would rather not have included. Stitch Fix will also be offering options for plus size individuals come Spring 2017.

With Stitch Fix, you do end up

paying more in the long run compared to Five Four Club, as you have to buy the clothing you want to keep, but you get to experience more choices, have more control over what you receive and are not forced to keep items of clothing you don’t like.

If you are thinking of subscribing, be sure to check what kind of deals different box services have as most offer first time buyer discounts.

As I said, different boxes have different methods of providing you with the items to build and expand your wardrobe beyond the common college trend of leggings and college sweatshirts. The boxes allow you to experience fashion trends and play around with your own style while not having to be stuck at the mall, shelling out cash that you could be saving for other things.

In short: If you’re looking for an effortless way to step up your style game, subscription boxes offer you a set of stairs to use with ease. •

ANIME

Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans Gerald Maib for The Easterner

Gundam boasts a long history of children murdering each other with giant robots and this latest entry is no exception. The main antagonists, a mercenary group of child soldiers, gives a more authentic and serious tone than the usual anime standby of high school students messing around. This is especially highlighted by the interactions of the main characters Mikazuki and Orga, one mentally scarred by his forced profession and the other attempting to keep their rag-tag group from collapsing. Iron Blooded Orphans is a great entry in the series and I recommend it highly if you are looking for a psychological thriller or a Giant Mecha anime. (Jordan Perry)

Since arriving in Cheney, Beau Baldwin has led the EWU football team to six FCS playoff appearances, five Big Sky Conference titles and one national championship | Melanie Flint for The Easterner

Done Deal

EWU and head football coach Beau Baldwin negotiate new five-year contract Brandon Cline Sports Editor EWU Athletic Director Bill Chaves announced on Dec. 9 that the school and head football coach Beau Baldwin were in the process of finalizing a new five-year contract that will keep the offensive guru in Cheney through the 2021 season.

Baldwin’s old contract was set to expire at the end of the 2019 season but has been replaced by this new agreement. The nineyear head coach of the Eagles was a finalist

16 | January 12, 2017 The Easterner

for the head coaching job at the University of Nevada in December, with the job ultimately going to Jay Norvell of Arizona State University.

“There is no doubt that coach Baldwin is one of the very best coaches ever in the Big Sky Conference, and we are excited to be working out details with him,” said Chaves. “Dr. [Mary] Cullinan’s support through this process has been tremendous and I cannot thank her enough for her leadership.”

Baldwin, the Central Washington University alumnus, has been the head coach of the Eagles

since 2008, filling the vacancy that Paul Wulff left when he accepted the head coaching job at Washington State University.

In his nine seasons at EWU, Baldwin has compiled an 85-32 record, including a 50-14 mark in Big Sky Conference (BSC) play. Baldwin-led Eagle teams won five BSC championships and advanced to the FCS playoffs six times, including a national championship in the 2010 season.

The Eagles advanced to the semifinals of the FCS playoffs this past season, falling to Youngstown State University 40-38 on a miraculous last-second touchdown.

“I appreciate the continuous support from Dr. Cullinan and our athletic administration toward the support of our program,” said Baldwin. “We look forward to even greater things in the future.”

Details of the contract have not yet been released by EWU. •

EWU Offensive Coordinator Accepts Job at Utah Troy Taylor is moving on after one season at EWU

Riley Baker Staff Reporter After spending his first year in a collegiate coaching position as EWU’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, Troy Taylor is headed to the Pac-12.

One year removed from being a head coach at the high school level for Folsom High School in Sacramento, California, Taylor has accepted the offensive coordinator position with the University of Utah.

During his time in Sacramento, Taylor was the coach of Jake Browning, now the starting quarterback at the University of Washington. Under Taylor’s tutelage, Browning set the national high school record for touchdowns in a career, throwing 229 over the span of four years.

Taylor joins a coaching staff manned by head coach Kyle Whittingham, replacing Aaron Roderick and Jim Harding who split the offensive coordinator duties last

year in a dual role. Roderick was fired from the staff and Harding was named assistant head coach.

Taylor will be Utah’s ninth offensive coordinator in the last 10 years and will bring a faster offensive style to the Utes.

“We don’t huddle and we have the ability to go fast,” said Taylor in an interview with The Salt Lake Tribune. “We try to be aggressive and attack all parts of the field. It’s a little different than what some people are used to.”

In his lone season at EWU, Taylor coached sophomore quarterback Gage Gubrud, a former walk-on, to an FCS record setting season with 5,010 passing yards. Gubrud also shared the FCS Offensive Player of the Year award with teammate Cooper Kupp.

“He brought a lot of things to the table,” said Baldwin. “There’s a huge list of things I could talk about in terms of how we communicated, how we brought plays in to involve the receivers in the run game more and definitely improved in what we can do with the quarterback run game.”

With Taylor’s departure, the Eagles will move on to their third offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in three seasons after years of stability in the position.

Zak Hill, now the co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Boise State, had served in the same position at EWU from 2009-2015.

Baldwin and the Eagles will now be actively looking for a new offensive coordinator before the program starts back up in the spring. •

Women’s Basketball Proving Early That it can Compete for a Conference Championship Brandon Cline Sports Editor The EWU women’s basketball team has only just begun Big Sky Conference play, but they are quickly proving that they are legitimate contenders for a conference championship and a berth to the NCAA Tournament come March.

The Eagles opened conference play on Dec. 31, decisively knocking off an Idaho Vandals team that was chosen by the coaches in the preseason to win the Big Sky. EWU’s ‘Big Three,’ seniors Ashli Payne and Tisha Phillips and junior Delaney Hodgins, combined for 47 of EWU’s 67 points in the game.

Payne recorded her first doubledouble of the season, finishing with 21 points and 14 rebounds.

“I thought we saw the best of all three at certain times today,” said head coach Wendy Schuller. “[Payne] really stepped up and played with a lot of confidence. She shot the ball well, which is something we see her do a lot of in practice.”

The Eagles continued their tough early conference schedule by traveling to Bozeman to face off against the Montana State Bobcats, who were chosen by the media to

win the Big Sky just ahead of Idaho.

The Eagles fell to the Bobcats in overtime but left an impact on the opposing coaching staff.

“Those three [Payne, Phillips and Hodgins] are legit and some of the best players in the Big Sky Conference,” said Bobcats head coach Tricia Binford. “We had our hands full. Defensively, that team had us out of sorts all night.”

EWU bounced back two days later, defeating the Montana Grizzlies 60-46 in Missoula to improve to 2-1 in conference play.

Phillips and Hodgins provided much of the offense for the Eagles, combining for 37 points on 16-24 (66.6 percent) shooting.

Schuller called it a gutsy win for the Eagles who were still “a bit beat up” after the game against the Bobcats. The Eagle defense limited the Grizzlies to shoot just 17.6 percent from beyond the arc as well as forcing 20 turnovers.

EWU’s strong start to conference play can be attributed to more than just any one area.

After going through last season without much depth, the Eagles have 11 players who are averaging at least eight minutes per game this season, giving the starters more opportunities for rest during games.

The Eagles are also starting strong right out of the gate in the first and second halves, allowing them to seize the early momentum in games and after halftime. They are outscoring opponents by 22 points in the first quarter and 42 points in the third quarter.

This year’s team is also simply shooting the ball better than their opponents in all three phases. The Eagles are shooting 43.2 percent from the field while holding their opponents to a 40.9 shooting percentage. They are also making 34.3 percent of their three-point shots, while opposing teams are shooting at a 30.1 percent clip. In free throw shooting, the Eagles are shooting 69 percent from the charity stripe, while opponents are making free throws at a 66 percent rate.

If the Eagles keep getting All-Big Sky levels of production from their core, as well as being able to dip into their bench when need be and continue to outshoot teams, they will be a tough out for any team the rest of the season. It might just lead them to their first NCAA Tournament appearance in 30 years. •

Defense Shines, Fouls Loom Large as EWU MBB Defeats Montana State, Falls to Montana Riley Baker Staff Reporter The Eagles matched up against both Montana and Montana State over the weekend, going 1-1 in the two games while putting up an impressive showing on defense.

EWU allowed 64 points to MSU and 65 to UM while totaling 57 defensive rebounds and seven blocked shots between the two games. The defense also held MSU to 37.9 percent from the field and UM to 42.3 percent.

EWU’s offense was able to chip away at MSU, making 60.4 percent of their shots from the field. But UM countered the Eagle defense with a strong showing of their own, holding EWU to 40.4 percent from the field.

In the matchup between two rivals, it was ultimately the fouls

and resulting free throws that led to the Eagle loss against Montana.

UM had 24 shots from the free throw line, while EWU had only eight, leading Montana to outscore EWU 16-7 from the line.

With under a minute left to play in the game, EWU was called for a defensive foul on what appeared to have been a travel against Montana guard Walter Wright. After Wright sunk both free throw shots, Bogdan Bliznyuk and Felix Von Hofe each had looks from the 3-point line but failed to execute, missing both of them.

“We thought we played some really good defense and forced a travel but it wasn’t and was a foul on us,” said Hayford. “The Big Sky officiating has been really good this year and those guys are under a lot of stress. They’re going to look at that tape more than anyone else.”

Aside from the foul calls, the Eagles as an offensive unit did not have an overwhelming performance.

“We can shoot better – Bogdan and Felix can shoot better than that from three,” said Hayford.

“At the end of the day, credit Montana’s defense – we have to make more baskets.”

Senior Jake Wiley went 3-for10 from the field while Von Hofe went 1-for-7.

“That’s on the players,” said Bliznyuk. “We have to get better.”

The Eagles’ first home loss of the season bumps EWU out of the first place spot in the Big Sky Conference and into a tie for third.

The team’s next game is today at Idaho State at 6:05 p.m. and can be heard live on 700-AM ESPN. •
