SA supports Parking Services EMILY De WAARD Editor-in-Chief Monday night’s Students’ Association meeting featured an open forum with Senior Director of The Union, Jennifer Novotny. She discussed progress in repairs from The Union flood, as well as several first readings of resolutions that deal primarily with Parking Services. Novotny explained the damage sustained from the flooding. Total costs are still being estimated. The floors were stripped this week to make way for new carpet and new paint will soon follow. Novotny said staff will return to their offices within a few weeks if repairs go according to plan. SA gave first readings of three resolutions: 17-09-R, 1710-R and 17-11-R. 17-09-R shows Students’ Association’s support for consulting Parking Services during construction projects and calls for a Parking Services representative to join the Campus Planning and
Design Committee. 17-10-R also relates to parking and supports compensating Parking Services for providing parking lots to groups hosting large events on campus. These fees would go toward maintenance, upkeep and improvement of parking facilities, according to the resolution. 17-11-R voiced SA’s support for the construction of the new precision agriculture building. During committee and staff reports, the representative for International Relations Council announced the cancellation of Saudi Arabia night. He said students chose to cancel the event due to feelings of discrimination from students and faculty. SA approved a constitution for boxing club. Senate petitions for colleges will be available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Feb. 6 in SA’s office. The next meeting will be at 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 20 in the Lewis and Clark room of The Union.

New student club packs punch: offers boxing, fitness training GABRIELLA PREMUS Reporter Freshman Nick Oldenburg is turning his passion for boxing into a chance for South Dakota State students to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. The group is in its early stages, and Oldenburg’s current goal is to get the club up and running soon. Afterward he hopes to generate knowledge and interest in the sport. “I love boxing so much and not finding it here felt like a piece of home was missing,” Oldenburg said. Students frustrated with school can use boxing as a safe and healthy outlet, Oldenburg said. Oldenburg has been boxing since he was a sophomore in high school and he was greatly influenced by his old coach. He hopes he can be the same kind of teacher and mentor for members of the club. For the club’s first semester, Oldenburg will only take 20 people to maintain a small group because he will be the only instructor. A meeting place for the club is pending but Oldenburg is working on a contract to rent gear and space from a downtown Brookings business. “I’ve always loved Rocky movies, but I’ve never had the opportunity to get into the sport,” said Zachary Swenson, a freshman parks management and administration major, ROTC cadet and boxing club member. “I am excited for a new way to work out and be a part of a fun, interactive club.” By the fall of 2018, Oldenburg wants to have more experience teaching so he can open the club up to more people. He also wants more instructors to provide one-on-one training for members. The club

will have an officer position as well. Another one of his goals is for the club to be more than a group who only meets Wednesdays and Thursdays. “I want there to be two different bodies to the boxing club; people who are more interested in the competition and those who are more fitness focused,” Oldenburg said. Director for Student Engagement Addie Borah said the club is unique compared to others here on campus, and having the choice to compete gives the club a different edge. “There will also be an affiliation with USA Boxing for those who choose to compete, which is pretty special,” she said. The club fee is $10 but will adjust as needed. If members want to compete they will also
pay the USA Boxing fee of $65. Oldenburg hopes by the fall the club will be able to take part in competitions across South Dakota and Minnesota. “This, of course, means we will have to fundraise, but luckily boxing is a pretty cheap sport,” he said. With the right motivation, Oldenburg believes his members can come out of college with some great life lessons grained through boxing. “I like to think complacency kills,” he said. “If you don’t try new things then what’s the point?” Students interested in becoming a member of the SDSU Boxing Club can contact Oldenburg at nicholas.oldenburg@ jacks.sdstate.edu. There’s also a sign-up located in the DePuy Military Hall.

South Dakota Women’s March calls for equality, political action GARRETT AMMESMAKI News Editor
T
housands of men, women and children swarmed downtown Sioux Falls Saturday for the South Dakota Women’s March. Cries of “the people united will never be divided” and “black lives matter” rang out across Dakota Avenue as the procession made its way from Carnegie Town Hall to Minnehaha Courthouse. Among the crowd of 2,500 citizens of South Dakota and surrounding states, were students from South Dakota State. They marched under different
banners, but the message was resoundingly the same. “We’re here to march for women’s equality and equality for all,” said Claire Garduno, sophomore entrepreneurial studies major and secretary of the SDSU Feminist Equality Movement. Garduno is one of the 14 members of FEM who carpooled from campus. “I think it’s good to get out and see how much this community can really come together and show the pride we have for the equality we want,” she said. “It’s a really great movement that’s going on nationwide.” Sioux Falls Mayor Mike
Huether was one of multiple speakers ranging from local politicians to a single mother who emigrated to the United States from Africa. They all expressed the need to vote, and their pride for being amongst people marching under a banner of equality. “When you vote, you have to vote based on what is right for you and the causes you care about, versus the party you are associated with,” Huether said. “This has been a challenge for our great state of South Dakota … but we can change that, and you’re making that happen here today.” According to South Dakota
Dashboard, in 2016 just 31 percent of South Dakotans ages 18 to 24 voted. It was the lowest participation rate by age in the state. “I don’t think college-aged people realize how much (voting) will affect them,” Garduno said. Garduno said it is “shocking” how many college students she meets who aren’t educated or involved in politics and don’t care to get involved. “The sad part is people should care — regardless of your position. It is really important because we are the future,” she said. “We are the people, we’re supposed to have a say in
what happens with our country. When people don’t care about it and don’t want to educate themselves, it creates a lot of imbalance.” President of FEM and sophomore political science major Alexis Dooley agreed, comparing campus culture to a “bubble,” where students are relatively unaffected by laws that are passed. The two are optimistic, though, and believe this year’s march in Sioux Falls showed a “fire building in activism.” “We’re the generation that’s going to make a change,” Dooley said. “(The march) is representing the future and what we want the future to look like.”
SDSU home to nation’s first precision ag degree, new facility ALISON DURHEIM Reporter South Dakota State University is investing resources in a new $55 million building that will be home to the nation’s first fouryear degree program in precision agriculture. The degree is growing rapidly. In 2016 there were only eight students in the major now there are now 57 students majoring and 90 students minoring in the program. Technological advancements in the agricultural industries prompted the decision to create the program and establish a new
facility to help the major continue to grow. Despite waiting on approval from the South Dakota Legislature, the project is already receiving industry support. First Bank and Trust and Farm Credit Services each donated half a million dollars. Raven Industries also gifted a historic $5 million donation toward the facility. “We think that having a community on campus where all those ag missions come together is a great thing for SDSU, but it’s also a great thing for the industry,” said Director of Corporate Development at Raven In-
dustries Lon Stroschein. The facility will house faculty from two departments: Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering and Agronomy and Horticulture and Plant Science. “In the way it is designed, it’ll have faculty from different departments that will be side by side and there is also a lot of collaborative spaces for students to work in so they can work on projects,” said Don Marshall, interim dean of the College of Agricultural and Biological Sciences. The new building will give SDSU the opportunity to keep up with the advancing technol-
ogies in the agricultural industries. “In our old ag engineering building, the doors aren’t even big enough to get modern equipment inside,” Marshall said. The proposed budget will include funds for the new precision ag building and renovations to the first and second floors of Berg Agricultural Hall. Marshall emphasized having good facilities is vital for obtaining grants and attracting students and faculty to the university. A graduate in ag business and economics from SDSU himself, Stroschein said the universi-
ty is setting itself apart from the nation with the new program. “SDSU is, without a doubt, leading the way in establishing not only SDSU, but South Dakota as the leader in precision agriculture – and why not? Of course they should do that,” Stroschein said. Marshall believes the facility will provide the means for the program to reach its full potential. If approved by the Legislature, the building will be located north of the Dairy Bar and south of the Animal Science Complex.

A
spring break road trip with friends is a oppor tunity to see new parts of the United States. There are thousands of destinations for a road trip and a thousand more routes to get there. Mountain adventure road trip One destination worth traveling to is Zion National Park, Utah. There are many hiking trails and places to climb and sight-see, including a 1,500-foot rock formation called Angels Landing. On the drive to Zion National Park, stop in Denver, Colorado. Start one of the many hikes on this trip by visiting Mills Lake Trail and taking a picture by the 30-foot waterfall, Alberta Falls. Spring break on the Bayou The city of Mardi Gras, New Orleans, offers travelers the opportunity to walk the French Quarter, see many voodoo shops and museums and visit the many bars and restaurants like Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop Bar. “When I went to New Orleans with my church group, Bourbon Street was my favorite part. It had the best food, like gumbo and beignets,” sophomore civil engineering major Cully Olson said. “And jazz music was always playing everywhere you went.” Stop in Kansas City, Missouri, on the way to Louisiana and visit the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art or the National World War I Museum and Memorial. Check out the beautiful artwork and historical sculptures in the area. Trippin’ through the sweet South On the other side of the country, there is Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Along the Atlantic Coast, Myrtle Beach has miles of beaches, the Family Kingdom Amusement Park and the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and Promenade, which is home to one of the country’s tallest Ferris wheels. Myrtle Beach also has a bar and restaurant, The Bowery, which has live entertainment, amazing food, and is located just 50 yards from the beach. While on the way to South
Carolina, make a pit stop in Nashville, Tennessee. Nashville is famous for its music, so why not make a stop at the Country Music Hall of Fame? See famous costumes, instruments and photographs that show the history and influence of country music on today’s culture. Consider visiting The Parthenon in Nashville’s Centennial Park, a full-scale replica of the temple in Athens. It’s also home to a full-size replica statue of Athena and an art museum. Catch rays and play The last recommended destination for a road trip is Miami, Florida and the Florida Keys. After soaking up the sun on the beaches of Miami, spend a day at Everglades National Park.

DC, Disney, Dinosaurs: Top 10 anticipated films of 2018 Movie night
with Ian Lack Editor’s Note: This list was made subjectively by the reporter who viewed web traffic, fan interest, media attention and overall appeal for films being released later this year. 10. X-Men: Dark Phoenix Nov. 2 “Dark Phoenix” takes the X-Men where they’ve never been before: space. While depicting one of the most celebrated storylines from the X-Men comics, this film will reunite its young cast while introducing them to a new character, a mysterious alien played by Jessica Chastain. 9. M:I 6 – Mission: Impossible - July 27 Outside of the successful “Mission Impossible” franchise,
Tom Cruise hasn’t seen steady numbers at the box office. So, it’s understandable he would have another entry in the franchise lined up for 2018. Cruise is joined by Henry Cavill and an expanded role for Rebecca Ferguson.
hanna, this heist film looks to be leagues above “Ghostbusters.”
8. Aquaman - Dec. 21 The DC Cinematic Universe has a history of ups and downs, but with “Aquaman,” director James Wan it will enter the superhero franchise in hopes of sticking the landing. Wan creates a new take on the Aquaman character with Jason Momoa from “Game of Thrones” playing the lead. 7. Ocean’s 8 - June 8 Like the “Ghostbusters” remake from 2016, Warner Bros. is looking to reboot an old franchise in a new way by casting women in all the major roles. With a cast that includes Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett and Ri-
6. Solo: A Star Wars Story May 25 After the disappointing box office return for “The Last Jedi,” Disney hopes “Solo” will prove the “Star Wars” franchise is as strong as ever. The history of Han Solo welcomes newcomer Alden Ehrenreich as young Solo, Emilia Clarke as Qi’Ra and will be directed by Ridley Scott. 5. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom - June 22 After making a $1.7 billion return in 2015, the “Jurassic Park” franchise moves forward with its latest installment, featuring a new director, J.A. Bayona, and a changeup in the cast. Most of the plot details for the film have been kept under wraps, but with a new threat to the park and the same dinosaurs from the first film, “Fallen Kingdom” is almost sure to please.
4. Untitled “Deadpool” Sequel - May 18 The first “Deadpool” broke barriers in the world of filmmaking as the first truly successful R-rated superhero film and the first blockbuster to do well during February. While the sequel doesn’t even have an official title yet, it’s still set to be one of the biggest movies of the year, opening in the much more competitive month of May. 3. The Incredibles 2 - June 15 It’s been 14 years since the first “Incredibles” debuted. The 2004 family film pioneered the modern superhero flick. Director Brad Bird returns, as well as the original cast of characters from the Incredible family. 2. The Avengers: Infinity War - May 4 Ten years of Marvel superhero films have culminated in
a final act that is said to change the film universe forever. Villain Thanos will be at center stage and spell out a potential death for one of our favorite Avengers. “Infinity War” will easily be one of the biggest box office smashes of the year. 1. Black Panther - Feb. 16 The only film that could top “Infinity War” is “Black Panther.” It’s not just what the film means for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but what it means for film overall. This is the first superhero movie to center a black lead and one of the first mainstream films ever to have a majority black cast. With a teaser trailer as sleek and stylish as it is pulse-pounding, “Black Panther” will likely be the most talked about when it debuts in February.

Do things that make you happy
Issue:
House Bill 1073 sponsors want to expand free speech on South Dakota college campuses.
W
hen The Collegian heard a bill protecting free speech on college campuses was being introduced to the South Dakota Legislature we were excited — until we researched it. House Bill 1073 claims it will protect the free speech of South Dakota public universities by making “any outdoor areas” “public forums.” Any restrictions on the space must be “viewpoint-neutral.” By passing the bill, it would allow a “campus community to spontaneously and contemporaneously assemble and distribute literature.” Additionally, universities would have to publish annual reports of actions implemented to strengthen free speech on the campus. This sounds great, except the bill is unnecessary, unclear and uninformed. The simple fact of the matter is, freedom of speech is not under attack on South Dakota college campuses, and HB 1073
opens institutes of higher education up to frivolous litigation and imposes unnecessary standards upon them. The South Dakota Board of Regents ensures all institutions allow “the rights of free speech and expression” and “... encourage the timely and rational discussion of topics whereby the ethical and intellectual development of the student body and general welfare of the public may be promoted,” in SDBoR policy 3:3. Sponsors created the bill after reading an editorial in The Volante, the University of South Dakota’s student newspaper. The editorial urged the college to reconsider its free speech policies after a 2015 controversy surrounding the supposed cancellation of a film accused of being Islamophobic. However, USD Director of Communications Tena Haraldson told the Argus Leader the movie was never canceled, but moved to a different venue. She also said the editorial referred to
outdated USD policies. The sponsors were very misinformed and unaware of current First Amendment protections and South Dakota Board of Regents policies. We, at The Collegian, will take every opportunity to defend the First Amendment rights of students. We aren’t shy when it comes to defending speech, no matter how abhorrent that speech may be. Students across the country and state hear ideas that make them uncomfortable or angry. They get to hear and take part in conversations involving sex, racism, cruelty and hate. Speech that challenges students creates a full college experience and is essential for institutions of higher education. But we don’t need this bill to protect our freedom of speech. We need students, faculty, staff, Brookings community members, South Dakotans and United States citizens to use their First Amendment rights and continue to speak freely.

Cattle withstand winter chill when you can’t KATIE BERNDT Columnist In my friends’ winter Facebook posts I often see a familiar sight: a small calf lying on the floor of an entryway or bathroom, wrapped up in blankets next to a heater, usually with a small child seated close by to comfort the chilly bovine. It always reminds me of my childhood on the farm. It’s the perfect representation of the care that goes into raising farm animals. Still, farmers and ranchers receive criticism every winter for leaving their livestock out in the freezing weather. Since the frost rolled in, I’ve seen countless pictures on social media of animals covered in snow with captions stating, “If you’re cold, they’re cold.” Now, I get where they’re coming from. Venturing out into negative 30-degree temperatures is something I avoid at all costs, but then again, I don’t have 6-millemeter thick skin and a warm winter coat.
Volume 133 • Issue 14
As I mentioned before, cattle do get cold, but newborn calves are more susceptible than their 1,200 -pound mothers. When they are born in cold weather calves are wet, small and can easily contract respiratory diseases at best and at worst, succumb to hypothermia. This can also happen to adult cattle when weather conditions are wet and cold. Wet hair combined with cold temperatures increase the chances of respiratory diseases, but cattle with a thick and dry winter coat can easily stay comfortable in cold temperatures. According to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, cattle with a heavy, dry winter coat and adequate body condition have a critical temperature of 19 degrees Fahrenheit. This means the cattle will not need to increase their energy requirements until the temperature drops below 19 degrees. With recent temperatures The Collegian is the independent student newspaper at South Dakota State University in Brookings, S.D.

plummeting below zero, those energy requirements increase immensely. Cattle need to consume a higher energy diet to maintain good health and body condition, which is why most ranchers supplement their winter feed with corn or soy hulls. Farmers also provide natural and man-made shelters for their livestock when the weather is bad. Especially in western South Dakota or places with similar landscapes, pastures are full of hills and small valleys where cattle can hunker down out of the wind. In blizzard conditions, when cows are at risk, farmers take extra measures to ensure the herd stays safe and healthy. Extra feeding before the storm, added herd checks and moving cattle to a pasture closer to home are common practices used to keep them safe in bad weather. Small groups of cattle can also be brought inside barns or sheds when staying outside is unsafe for them – but according Emily De Waard Brianna Schreurs Editor-in-Chief
Managing Editor
to charts from Iowa State University, this isn’t necessary until temperatures reach 30 to 40 degrees below zero. Calves born in extreme weather are sometimes picked up by ranchers and brought into the house or put in warming boxes if they seem too cold to stay outside. Once they warm up and are no longer at risk of freezing, calves are returned to their mothers. Cattle are naturally equipped to withstand our extreme South Dakota winters, but when genetics aren’t enough, farmers and ranchers provide extra care for their livestock in frigid conditions. So, when temperatures are low and cattle seem to have been left out in the cold, remember, just because you’re freezing doesn’t mean they are, too.

With only 12 credits this semester and track meets taking up my weekends, the amount of free time I have during the week has caught me off guard. It’s honestly given me time to actually realize how important self-care is. I have been doing small things daily to give myself the extra boost I need. This semester, I plan to cook for myself more, pamper myself, take little steps like painting my nails, journaling frequently and take more personal time to focus on my well-being. Last semester was a rough one for me. Several nights I was trying to complete online homework and study, all while trying not to burn out. Although I did have periods of free time last semester, I didn’t do much for myself. I didn’t treat myself very often, unless I was stress eating. I felt run down, but this semester I’m determined to stay energized, positive and happy. I’ll accomplish this by simply doing little things for myself on a daily and weekly basis. Everyone needs a reminder every now and again to take care of themselves. We can’t pour from an empty cup, right? It doesn’t matter what type of person you are, you need to take care of yourself and do things that make you feel happy, confident and well taken care of. I ask you to take advantage of the amenities Brookings and South Dakota State University have to offer. Attend sporting events with your friends and support the Jacks. Start taking time for your physical health at the Wellness Center or take a stroll through the Dakota Nature Park. Appreciate the things around you and take time to breathe. Doing these things allows you to clear your mind. Trust me, that’s important given how busy we all are at this age. After only a couple days of work, work and more work, I get irritable and rundown. This burnout is something a lot of college students can relate to, I’m sure. We’re all humans and we aren’t meant to be robots that follow a code all the time. Our hearts don’t run on code. We run off of what drives us and what allows us to be happy. Take a step away from the stress of life this week and do something for yourself and your well-being this semester.

Recruiting sets Jacks at top of Summit League CARSON HERBERT Sports Reporter
L
ooking at the 201718 South Dakota State wom en’s basketball roster, one common thing stands out amongst the 13 players: they were all recruited from within South Dakota or one of its bordering states. Recruiting local talent is nothing new for the Jacks. Past rosters have been loaded with players mostly from South Dakota and Minnesota. Aaron Johnston is in his 18th year as head coach of the Jacks and has led the team to a 430146 record. The team has won seven Summit League tournaments, including a dominant stretch from 2008 to 2012, when it won five consecutive times. So, it’s easy to see why SDSU is a top school in the Midwest for high-level recruits. In her senior year of high school, junior guard Madison Guebert was awarded the
Minnesota Gatorade Player of the Year, Minnesota Associated Press Player of the Year and Minnesota Miss Basketball while playing at Eastview High School in Apple Valley, Minnesota. Redshirt junior guard Macy Miller from Mitchell, junior guard Sydney Palmer from Pierre, and freshman forward Myah Selland from Letcher, were all recognized as South Dakota Gatorade Girls Basketball Player of the Year. Miller and Selland also held the title of South Dakota Miss Basketball in their senior years of high school. The combination of former high school players of the year in South Dakota and its bordering states has paid off so far in 2017-18. The team is on top of the Summit League with a 15-4 overall record and a 4-0 record in the Summit League.

First place in Summit League, state bragging rights at stake CARSON HERBERT Sports Reporter The stage is set for Jan. 25, as the South Dakota State women’s basketball team will host the South Dakota Coyotes in the first of two matchups between the rivals. The Jacks and Coyotes will be playing for sole possession of first place in the Summit League, with each team entering the game without a loss in conference play. The Jackrabbits (17-4, 5-0) are coming off an 84-48 statement win against No. 3 ranked Western Illinois last Saturday in Frost Arena. Redshirt junior guard Macy Miller, who leads the league in points per game with 19, tied her career-high 31 points in the win against the Leathernecks. South Dakota (15-5, 6-0) has had a strong 2017-18 season so far. The guard trio of junior Allison Arens, sophomore Ciara Duffy and junior Jaycee Bradley has led the team this season, averaging 12.4, 11.9 and 10.4 points per game.

“They [USD] are very versatile and very unselfish,” said associate head coach Mike Jewett. “They play well together; they share the ball and they are a very good team defensively. When you look at their statistics defensively, they force a high number of turnovers, get a ton of steals and convert those at a very high percentage.” The teams split it’s two games last season, with both teams winning at home.

this season with their only loss being against Louisville, who was ranked No. 4 at the time. The last time SDSU lost a conference game at home was against the Coyotes in 2016. “The game is going to be de-

Both teams are going to bring their best effort each time.” Myah Selland, who leads the team in rebounding with 6.3 per game, will miss her third straight game due to a foot injury. However, this may not be a big loss for SDSU as the Coyotes only average 31.6 rebounds per game, which is last in the Summit League. This game goes far beyond the players and coaches involved, Jewett said. “When you are competing for a conference championship, every game is important,” he said. “There’s a little more added incentive to this game because it’s a rivalry game. You are not playing just for the players and coaches sitting beside you, but you are also playing for alumni and supporters.” The game will tip-off at 7 p.m. at Frost Arena. The teams face off again Feb. 21 at the Sanford Coyote Sports Center in Vermillion.

South Dakota Showdown Top two teams in Summit League face off ANDREW HOLTAN Sports Editor After an impressive 98-70 win on the road against Western Illinois, the South Dakota State men’s basketball team is headed to Vermillion Jan. 24 to face their toughest test of this Summit League season. The Jacks (16-5, 5-0) will face the South Dakota Coyotes in a battle of the top two teams in the Summit League. The Coyotes, who are 17-5 overall and 5-1 in the Summit League, defeated Omaha 85-71 on the road in their previous game. SDSU is on an eight-game winning streak and firing on all cylinders offensively. Seven players scored in double-digits for the Jacks with freshman David Jenkins Jr. leading the way at 27 points. This is the second game in a row Jenkins scored 27 points. Jenkins won Summit League Player of the Week for his performance.

>> RECRUITING Continued from A8 Associate head coach Mike Jewett oversees the team’s recruiting and said the tradition, as well as support the team has from its fan base and its style of play, are all pieces that make SDSU an attractive school for recruits. While the successful tradition of the Jackrabbit women’s program initially enticed Selland, the location was an important factor as well. “A lot of things attracted me at first. One was just because it was close to home. I’m a South Dakota kid, and South Dakota has a special place in my heart; and I thought it would be cool to represent my home state,” Selland said. Freshman forward Tylee Irwin and sophomore guard Rylie Cascio Jensen were also named Gatorade Players of the Year in their home states of North Dakota and Nebraska. “We feel like there’s enough talent locally in the five to six state area that we don’t have to go much further than that,” Jewett said. “The more you can recruit locally, the more interest it generates and ultimately more
head coach T.J. Otzelberger. “He’s continued to step up and raise the level of his game in conference play.” SDSU is averaging 87 points per game, which is ninth best in the country. However, the Coyotes are the best defensive team in the Summit League, allowing only 67.1 points per game. Otzelberger said the Jacks have to get stops defensively early so they can get out in transition. USD is led by junior guard Matt Mooney who is averaging 17.3 points per game, which is fifth best in the Summit League. It’s always a crazy atmosphere when these two rivals meet and it won’t be different this time. Otzelberger says his team is well prepared because of where they played in the non-conference part of the season. “Playing at places like Kansas, Wichita and Colorado really helps prepare you, because you’re playing in those tough atmospheres and that’s why we went with that schedule,” Otzelberger said. SDSU has won nine of the last 11 games between the two teams, including the last matchup when the Jacks defeated the
fans that come to games.” Western Illinois and the University of South Dakota are SDSU’s biggest competition in the Summit League; both on the court and in recruiting. But Jewett said the Jacks focus more on themselves while recruiting rather than the competition. “We try to identify kids that we believe can have success in our program, that value and balance that we provide and see the importance of getting a degree, but also understanding the time and commitment it takes to be a student athlete,” he said. While the Jacks have won several Summit League Tournaments over the years, their goal is to win two games in the NCAA Tournament. The last time the Jacks were in the NCAA Tournament in 2016, they upset the No. 5 seed Miami but fell 66-65 to the No.4 seed Stanford. “We feel like we don’t have to do anything different in recruiting,” Jewett said. “By continuing to recruit quality student athletes who can perform at a high level and putting those players in the right places to be successful, we believe that will allow us to continue to advance and move forward.”
Coyotes 74-71 in the semifinal of the Summit League Tournament. After the game in Vermillion, SDSU will come back to Brookings and host the Fort Wayne Mastodons Jan. 27. Fort Wayne comes into the game with an overall record of 14-9 and 3-3 in the Summit League. The Mastodons defeated North Dakota State 92-88 Jan. 20. Fort Wayne is led by freshman guard Bryson Scott, who is leading the Summit League and is ninth in the country in scoring, averaging 23 points per game. Junior Kason Harrell is averaging 13.7 points per game and senior forward John Konchar averages 8.2 rebounds per game. “Fort Wayne is a team that offensively is very good,” Otzelberger said. “Bryson Scott is one of the best players in the league. Kason Harrell is one of the best shooters in the league and John Konchar is a heck of a mismatch and a tough rebounder.” The game in Vermillion will tip off at 7 p.m. at the Sanford Coyote Sports Center and the game against Fort Wayne will tip off at 4:15 p.m.

Jacks wrestling continues dominance in Big 12 duals TRENTON ABREGO Sports Reporter South Dakota State has continued it’s tear through the 201718 season into the Big 12 Schedule and pushed it’s win streak to nine with it’s latest victory against the Northern Iowa Panthers. The No. 11 Jacks (9-2, 4-0) had two home dual matches this last week, and the matches were very different from one another. Against Wyoming, SDSU fell behind by 10, but scored 20 unanswered points and defeated the Cowboys 20-18. Against the Panthers, SDSU jumped out to an early lead and the Panthers simply couldn’t keep up. At the 125-pound weight class, freshman Connor Brown had a decisive win over No. 18 Jay Schwarm. At one point in the first period, Brown trailed Schwarm 8-0, but managed to score eight points and tie it up. Brown struck gold in the second period when he pinned Schwarm. “I was just thinking about coming back in the match,” Brown said after his victory. Junior Seth Gross, who is ranked No. 1 in the 133-pound weight class, also pinned his opponent Jack Wagner, giving the Jacks a 12-0 lead. The Panthers got back on track with a victory at the 141-pound and 149-pound
weight classes, but the Jackrabbits salvaged a match as redshirt freshman Colten Carlson was beat by Max Thomsen 15-1. Carlson staved off a takedown attempt by Thomsen, which saved the Jacks a point. “We had 45 seconds and we needed one score; I’ll put that on us,” Northern Iowa head coach Doug Schwab said. “That’s just a half step slow in some situations.” Carlson has dropped three straight matches. His latest victory came against Utah Valley when his opponent injury defaulted. “Colten is in a bit of a rut right now, he just has to get better on the bottom,” head coach Chris Bono said. “He’s a freshman in the spotlight.” Bono was adamant they will be able to get Carlson on the right track. The Jacks also had issues being a step too slow in the following match. Senior Luke Zilverberg defeated Logan Ryan 15-1 and was unable to get another point for a technical fall. SDSU was able to put the finishing touches on the dual at the 165-pound weight class and 197-pound weight class. By the time the heavyweight class came around, the match was already decided in the Jacks favor. Up next, the Jacks will travel to Oklahoma, to take on the Sooners. “It’s a Big 12 conference

match in Norman, Oklahoma.” Bono said. “What more could you ask for?” The Jacks will likely be able to continue their impressive undefeated Big 12 streak going against an underperforming Sooners team. Despite this, the Jacks don’t seem to be taking the Sooners lightly. “They are well coached. They have some high ranked kids; they are a tough team,” Bono said of the Sooners. The Oklahoma Sooners (6-6, 2-1) have been in and out of the NCAA Top 20 Wrestling rank-
ings this season. Oklahoma will be coming off a 28-10 victory over the Northern Colorado Bears. Perhaps the best wrestler for the Sooners is their No. 11 ranked 174-pounder Yoanse Mejias, who will be facing off against No. 9 David Kocer, another ranked wrestler. Kocer will be coming off of his loss to Taylor Lujan of Northern Iowa. The Sooners’ other top wrestler, Christian Moody, will be at their 125-pound weight class. Moody, who is ranked No. 17, will have a matchup against No.
19 Connor Brown, who is fresh off of his impressive upset over Jay Schwarm. Those two wrestlers are the only wrestlers that see themselves in the Intermat rankings, compared to South Dakota States’ four. “We get to go down and wrestle, our guys are going to be fired up,” Bono said. “We love being on the road.” The Big-12 matchup between the Jackrabbits and the Sooners is slated to begin at 2 p.m. Sunday.

How to combat loneliness during weekends NATALIE HILDEN Opinion Editor Winter weekends in Brookings make it feel more like a ghost town than a college town with nothing much to do or see. If I can relate to anything with my heart and soul it is being lonely and sitting in my dorm all weekend. Life is an experience and you have to live to learn. This semester, I have definitely learned how to make the most out of my weekends stuck on campus. So, here are a few self-approved tips on how to cure the weekend
woes. Push yourself out of your comfort zone Isolation is such a normal thing nowadays that it makes lots of people uncomfortable to get out and do things on their own. But, there is nothing like doing something that pushes you out of your comfort zone. Go out and find a quiet study spot, get coffee on your own or take advantage of the amenities Brookings and South Dakota State University has to offer. Check out GoJacks.com or the Weekend Stuff Facebook page and try something new. Sometimes you just have to embrace things that make you uncomfortable because it’s the only way to grow as a person. As Neale Donald Walsch once said, “Life begins at the end
of your comfort zone.” Communicate and make small plans I was pretty shocked to find out that a lot of my friends on campus felt the same way I do on the weekends. They want to get out and do things but have a lack of motivation when it comes to doing it alone. Make small plans with your friends during the weekends to fill times when you feel isolated and lonely. Walking through a park, exploring new and unknown places or even getting together to watch a movie can all help combat weekend loneliness. Small things can make a difference when you aren’t feeling the greatest. Get outside Being outside seems to have a healing effect on negative emo-
tions. It makes me feel energized and happy on any occasion, especially once the weather improves. It can improve depressive thoughts that can sometimes come from isolation. Being outside and taking in the beauty of nature can connect you to the world, relieving the loneliness. Focus on your health Frequently eating healthycan really help your mood. Fueling your body for the day can help a person conquer their daily stressors. A 2014 study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found a high-quality diet is associated with better mental health and a low-quality diet is associated with poor mental health. Not only does eating healthy help your outlook and mood, so
does exercising. I’m not saying you have to become a frequent flyer at the Wellness Center to see results. Going for a walk, going ice skating at the Larson Ice Center or trying your luck at the rock wall can release those endorphins and boost the way you feel. Loneliness may be strong, but it isn’t permanent. Don’t forget to engage in the events and activities around you that make you feel the most fulfilled. Doing things that make you full will develop your character as you make your campus atmosphere a more friendly place.

Trump’s alleged affair shows sex scandals aren’t scandals anymore BEN HUMMEL Columnist
In 1998, Bill Clinton was accused of having a continuous affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky from 1995 to 1997. He denied allegations under oath and was later tried for perjury and obstruction of justice. He finally admitted to having sexual relations with Lewinsky and the charges were dropped after a 21-day senate trial, but only after he resigned from the presidency. The sex scandal brought then-President Clinton’s political career to an end. Where was this punishment for Donald Trump? Granted, there is no “blue dress” to provide evidence in Trump’s
case, but there is evidence of a $130,000 payment made in 2016 to the adult film star, Stormy Daniels, who he allegedly had an affair with in 2006 — just months after the birth of his youngest son, Barron Trump. The lack of criticism surrounding Trump’s supposed affair with Daniels indicates an ambivalence toward him, and frankly, politicians in general when it comes to plain old sex scandals. Roy Moore, the former candidate for Alabama’s senate seat, suffered for his relations with underage girls, but Trump has steered clear of similar repercussions. Trump, and the rest of the men on Capitol Hill won’t be hurt by the average sex scandal, and it’s because the public expects much worse from them. Both the American political left and right are guilty of looking past something as comparatively harmless as a sex scandal.
Even back in 1998, at the height of the Lewinsky scandal, Bill Clinton’s approval ratings hit its peak. In a time when stories of alleged treason, sexual harassment and dementia all surround our president, why should a runof-the-mill affair do anything to hurt his reputation? Keep in mind Trump’s other problems aren’t necessarily the only thing keeping his affair from being front page news. News reports of unpresidential rhetoric, malicious comments, and minor administration flaws distract the public from the real issues at hand. The distractions help, but it’s the fact that his support base probably doesn’t care, that keeps anyone from blowing this out of proportion. Given all the recent controversy surrounding Larry Nassar’s sexual assault of over 140 members of the U.S. Gymnastics team, it isn’t surprising that an-

other man in a position of power is not receiving on-time public scrutiny for sexual allegations being made public. It is our responsibility as a society to hold all men and women to the same standards of justice regarding their actions, regardless of position. In today’s society, we are fail-
ing to uphold this ideal when it comes to the man leading our country. Whether that will be true after the 2020 election remains to be seen. Ben Hummel is an English and political science major and can be reached at benjamin. hummel@jacks.sdstate.edu.

career. “I figured I’m playing really well right now and it’s an opportunity to make myself better at basketball and hopefully it can help me set up whatever is next after my career,” Flatten said. Head coach T.J. Otzelberger said that the Jacks are fortunate to have him back for another year because of how much he’s improved. “Skyler knows how important he is to our team,” Otzelberger said. “He’s shooting the ball tremendously and scoring well, too. He’s become one of the better perimeter defenders in the league. So he’s invaluable to our program.” Flatten isn’t content with being the best three-point shoot-
er in the Summit League and knows that there are still areas where he wants to improve. “I need to be more aggressive,” Flatten said. “I have to make sure I’m ready when my name is called and do anything I can to help the team.” SDSU has won the Summit League Tournament and gone to the NCAA Tournament the past two seasons. Flatten said that if the Jacks want to make it three years in a row they have to take it one game at a time and it starts Jan. 24 at 7 p.m. in Vermillion against South Dakota. “We have to not look ahead. Even though playing USD is a big rivalry, we have to treat it like any other game,” Flatten said.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: MACY MILLER
The South Dakota State women’s basketball team improved to 16-4 overall and 5-0 in the Summit League after wins against Dakota Wesleyan and Western Illinois. Macy Miller led the way for the Jacks in the two wins. She averaged 27 points, 7.5 rebounds, five assists and 2.5 steals in the two games. Miller tied her career-high with 31 points against Western Illinois. For this performance, Miller has been named The Collegian Athlete of the Week. The Jacks will host the South Dakota Coyotes at 7 p.m. Jan. 25 in a matchup of the top two teams in the Summit League. They will then host the Fort Wayne Mastodons at 2 p.m. Jan. 27. Both games will be played at Frost Arena in Brookings.
ANDREW HOLTAN Sports Editor The South Dakota State men’s basketball team is at the top of the Summit League with a record of 5-0. One of the main reasons it’s having so much success is because Skylar Flatten is having his best season in a Jackrabbit uniform. The redshirt senior from Clark, South Dakota is shooting 49.2 percent from three, which is the best in the Summit League. He’s also shooting 48 percent from the field and is averaging 6.5 points per game. Coming into the season Flatten was a 35.2 percent threepoint shooter and was averaging 4.1 points in his career. Flatten said he thinks staying healthy is the main reason his percentage has gone up, because he can get in the gym and practice more. He missed the 2015-16 season due to a knee injury. “I have to give credit to my teammates,” Flatten said. “It makes it easier for me when I have teammates that are all great scorers and play makers because then I get more open shots.”
