Senate discusses, passes 2014-15 budget Ashley Swanson Managing Editor Turmoil and discussion on the Activity Fee Board’s submitted budget for 2014-15 year, filled Senate’s meeting, Monday.

Quickly starting the meeting, President Jacob Rissler said they would go through each club individually and vote on that club’s budget. The maximum time for discussion on club’s requesting less than $1,000 was five minutes.

All clubs had to be voted on at Senate because if they weren’t then that particular club would not receive money for the upcoming year, Rissler said. Besides small discussion on why a club did not receive a certain amount of money, discussion was at a minimum until the mention of fundraising arose.

Although there was small discussion on giving money to clubs they can use to sell items as a fundraising tool, which Senate unanimously voted to allow clubs to ask for money to help with fundraising, most discussion stemmed to the Sharp Shooters allocation.

Originally requesting $4,500, the AFB suggested an allocation of $0. The club requested $500 for clay pigeons at 900 per case, but after further investigation by the AFB, they found that it would cost $13 for a case of 60. The $500 would only pay for one and a half practices, according to Co-Vice Chair Brendan Mead.

Mead and other members of AFB who were present also said during Sharp Shooters budget hearing the club members said joining members didn’t need to go through criminal record check-ups. Alongside that, the club said they weren’t sure where they would store its guns, AFB Member Mercy Gagnon said.

“I don’t think it’s fair to give a new club $0 to get off it’s feet,”

AFB Member Garrett Lower said. “They’re trying to get it off the ground, so keep that into consideration.”

Discussion went back and forth on reasons why the AFB did not suggest an allocation for the club, but also on reasons Senators wanted the club to get some sort of funding.

“They are going to fail next year if we don’t give them money next year,” Vice President Nate Jones said.

Stephanie Steele, AFB member, specified that they didn’t want to make it like AFB didn’t want the club to succeed.

“We’re turning them down so that we can see more structure before we give them money,” Mead said.

CAB Chair Lane Swedberg also added that clubs can always go to CAB if they are in need of money for an event or something dealing with their club.

Senate passed the allocation of $0 in a 9-5 vote.

Before the budget was passed, the question came to call as to why the Residence Life Association was not receiving any money.

“They called me and they will no longer be requesting funding from the Student Activity Fee Fund,” President Jacob Rissler said.

They have an open-resource funding, he said.

Despite three nays, the Senate budget for 2014-15 was approved, and will be signed by Rissler, then sent to Interim Vice President of Enrollment Management and Marketing Jon Hansen for his signature before final approval by CSC President Randy Rhine.

Chief Justice Jon Lordino said elected candidates will be sworn in at the next Senate meeting.

Vice President of Finance Kirby Krogman said there is $90,281.78 in total unallocated funds.

Spies, Strong defeat Jones, Lower in elections Ashley Swanson Managing Editor The 2014-15 Senate elections pulled in 375 votes. However, Chief Justice Jon Lordino, who is in charge of elections, cited policy and declined to release final election totals for all open seats.

“As per policy we do not publicly release final polling numbers,” Lordino and Senate President Jacob Rissler, stated on the Senate’s Facebook page.

Dillon Spies, 20, sophomore of Grand Island, and Taylor Strong, 19, junior of Scottsbluff, were elected into office as Student Senate president and vice president respectively defeating Nate Jones, 20, sophomore of Papillion, and Garret Lower, 20, sophomore of Alliance.

The Eagle scoops 4th straight best-overall title The Eagle Staff Consistently committed to journalistic excellence.

That is how journalism Instructor and Adviser of The Eagle Michael D. Kennedy described the student newspaper staff after it captured its fourth straight “Best in Overall Excellence” title in the newspaper division of the Nebraska Collegiate Media Association’s annual Golden Leaf Awards, presented Saturday this year at Hastings College.

The Eagle’s website, csceagle.com, captured second place in “Excellence in Digital Medium,” the association’s highest honor in its digital medium division. (See related story, page 4) “Of course I am proud of them; who wouldn’t be,” Kennedy said about The Eagle staff. “For them to be judged the best, four years in a row, well, I cannot say enough about their commitment to providing the best public service they can to their readers.”

The newspaper division’s competition is broken into 19 individual categories covering writing and visual presentation, such as design, layout and photography. To be eligible, entries must have been published between March 1, 2013, and Feb. 28 this year.

Students from the NCMA’s eight member schools who competed this year earned points for their respective newspapers for placing first (5 points), second (3 points) or third (1 point) in each of those 19 categories. Honorable mentions do not earn points.

The points each student earns are then totaled to determine which newspaper earns the title, “Best in Overall Excellence.”

The Eagle staff entered 18 of the 19 categories; it did not submit entries in the Investigative/In-Depth Reporting category. Eleven different students scored points in 16 of the 18 categories they entered, earning eight first places, eight second places and seven third places, for a cumulative score of 71 points.

The Wayne Stater, Wayne State College, finished second in the best overall category with 44 points and The Doane Owl, Doane College, Crete, finished third with 35 points.

Managing Editor Ashley Swanson, senior of Byron, led The Eagle staff with nine individual awards - two honorable mentions; five third places, a second place, and first place in sports photography.

“I’ve been here for the four years we’ve earned first place, and captured second and third place for its winter storm Atlas and every year I’ve watched us grow and improve both as a staff and presidential inauguration special editions respectively. paper,” Swanson, said. “I’m incredibly proud of the staff and all the All judging was performed by professionals outside of Netime and effort they put into our product.” braska.

The Eagle adviser elected exec. director of college media association Angie Webb Reporter Faculty advisers from the eight-member Nebraska Collegiate Media Association elected Michael D. Kennedy, CSC journalism instructor and adviser of The Eagle, as the association’s executive director at its annual meeting Saturday, this year at Hastings College.

In accepting the post, Kennedy, who was president-elect, abdicated the association’s presidency, a one-year post he would have assumed effective Saturday. The executive director’s position carries a five-year term. David Swartzlander, adviser of The Doane Owl and doaneline. com, Doane College, Crete, was elected president to fill the vacancy.

“Dave and I have worked together in the past when we produced the design and layout workshop presented by Tim Harrower of Oregon

who happens to be the author of the textbook we both use in our publication design courses.

We get along well and I know we’ll work together well through the coming year,” Kennedy said.

Kennedy also said he was grateful his colleagues from the member schools have the faith in him to execute the responsibilities of NCMA’s executive directorship.

“Anyone who knows me, knows I will do my best to serve the association’s membership, primarily the students,” he said.

Kennedy, who already served two terms as NCMA president, 2011-13, has been serving as acting-executive director since December 2013. Back then, NCMA President Max McElwain asked Kennedy to step in temporarily after then executive director Jason Elznic, former adviser of The Viewpoint, the student newspaper at Northeast Community College, Norfolk, left NCMA when he assumed a new teaching post in the English department at NCC.

“I have no doubt that Michael Kennedy will be a superb executive director for the Nebraska Collegiate Media Association,” Swartzlander said. “He’s well organized, thorough and favors an approach to make the organization more profesKennedy sional in its operation than it has been in the past. That can only help the organization to grow and provide more help and services to students and advisers in the future.”

Swartzlander said that he expects Kennedy to bring the NCMA “into the 21st century” by implementing website to showcase outstanding student work, post job and internship opportunities, and streamline the entry process for NCMA’s annual Golden Leaf Awards.

“I expect Michael will work closely with me, the new NCMA president, to work on ways to

provide content for the new website, including posting internship and job opportunities for students,” he said.

“In addition, I think NCMA must find ways to raise revenue as well as cut expenses to make ends meet and balance the budget,” Swartzlander said. “I have every confidence that Michael is the man for that job.”

On Saturday the association agreed to increase its entry fees from $5 to $10 per entry. It also cut costs by approving a measure that provides plaques for first-place recipients only.

Since 2010, the association provided plaques for first through third places in all four of its media competition divisions—newspaper, radio, digital medium and television. All award winners, that is first-place through honorable mention, will still receive certificates, it is just the first-place recipients who will have those certificates inside a framed plaque.

The Eagle’s website, csceagle. com garnered second place in the Excellence in Digital Medium category, the best overall award in the digital medium competition of the Nebraska Collegiate Media Association’s Golden Leaf Awards, presented Saturday this year at Hastings College.

The digital medium division’s competition is broken into 12 in-

dividual categories from breaking news stories to use of a digital medium for public service, to emerging platforms. Eligible entries must have been posted between March 1, 2013, and Feb. 28 this year.

Students from the NCMA’s eight member schools who competed this year earned points for their respective digital media for placing first (5 points), second (3 points) or third (1 point) in each of those 12 categories. Honorable mentions do not earn points. The points each student earns are then totaled to determine

which digital medium earns the “Excellence in Digital Medium” title.

The csceagle.com staff submitted 17 entries. Four students scored points in eight of the 12 categories, including two first places, four second places, a third place and four honorable mentions, for a cumulative score of 23 points.

Adviser reflects on The Eagle staff’s success Ashley Swanson Managing Editor After the The Eagle earned first in overall excellence for the fourth year in a row, journalism Instructor and Adviser of The Eagle, Michael D. Kennedy took the time to reflect on the success of the student staff, and some of the factors that contributed to it.

“The thing that impresses me most is the students’ consistency and, more important, their commitment to excellence,” Kennedy said. “They publish week-in, week-out, 28 weeks a year, without fail. They put their work out there, in print, to be scrutinized and criticized by their readers.

“Then each spring, their work is judged by the very professionals who might eventually hire them. For those professionals to judge their overall work as being the best for four straight years, speaks volumes about their consistent performance, dedication and commitment, not just to their profession, but most important, to their readers. That’s dedication. That’s commitment.”

Kennedy also noted that the department’s rigor and learner-centered teaching practices significantly helps students reach their potential.

“Something hit me the other day,” he said.

“The Eagle and The Big Event are two of the sev-

eral successful, high-profile programs on campus.

Both provide the very high-impact learning experiences students need to be successful after graduation, and both are housed in the department of communication and social sciences.

“Our journalism students organize and oversee The Eagle, and our public relations students organize and oversee The Big Event. The adage ‘Success breeds success,’ comes into play here. To have two successful programs tied to the academic programs of one department, underscores the quality, expertise and commitment of our departmental faculty.”

Kennedy, who became The Eagle adviser in fall 2008, also acknowledged the support the student newspaper receives from CSC’s administration.

“Despite the fact students occasionally publish news that might make administrators, well, let’s say, uncomfortable,” he said, smiling, “The Eagle, nonetheless, has enjoyed unwavering support through two administrations. First from Dr. (Janie) Park, and her academic vice president Dr. (Lois) Veath, and most recently Dr. (Randy) Rhine and his academic vice president Dr. (Charles) Snare.

“I believe both administrative groups recognized, and continue to recognize, the quality of

our program and the success it spawns. We gratefully appreciate that, and we look forward to their continued support as we move forward.”

Kennedy also acknowledged the support from what he deemed was the most important audience on campus—the students.

“Ask anyone on The Eagle staff and each will say that his or her main purpose is to serve the students of this campus,” he said. “They are our primary audience, so the staff from The Eagle and csceagle.com strives hard to cover the news, sports and campus events that are meaningful to them.

“We also take seriously the fact that Chadron State’s students provide the funding for our printing each week. Those funds are allocated to us each year through student government, and we appreciate its commitment to ensuring we continue publishing.

“But we also recognize and appreciate that those funds come directly from the pockets of the 3,000-plus students who pay activity fees. So it is all students, and their interests, that we strive hard to serve. Hey, we know we are not perfect, and we know there is always room for improvement. And we do try. But based on our performance, as judged by the professionals in our field, we’re not so bad, either.”

EDITORIAL–THE EAGLE’S VIEW

We aim for a neutral relationship with Student Senate As with all clubs, we strive for a neutral relationship with Student Senate. However, due to developments such as the New Orleans trip and water bottle stations among others being hammered in articles, subsequently it seems there are impressions that we hold a negative disposition toward them. We attest we have and will continue to have a neutral relationship with Senate.

Firstly, it is important to have a neutral relationship because government can be right under one’s feet – as it is local in this case – while also being over one’s heads. For students to be better aware of what happens in our Student Senate, accounts of gut-wrenching facts in a news article or pronouncing objective disagreement in an opinion article when highly questionable developments occur in Student Senate is necessary.

Secondly, during the Presidential Debate last Thursday, candidate Taylor Strong said, “Our media relations with the newspaper have definitely been on the rocks this entire year.” We strive to simply provide accurate accounts of developments that occur. If there seems to be a rift, let it be known it has never been on our side.

Lastly, candidate Spies said, “I feel if we are to move forward, that we have to take the voice of our students and really put it into our hearts. We can’t just have people sit in Student Senate and say “I” to every single proposal.” We believe that a completely positive relationship between Student Senate and us would contradict this statement. We do not make judgment calls, I’s or the opposite, but we do allow students to do so through our coverage. The relationship is a mess, but it is necessary.

Negativity dooms candidates, officials

Teri Robinson Photo Editor

I

n a competition there will always be a winner and a loser. Some people may call it first and second place, but it means the same thing. If you are in a competition you need to be prepared to handle yourself appropriately for if you lose.

This past week we had the Student Senate presidential campaign for each party occurring on campus. The debate that was held on Thursday in the Reta E. King Library proved to be successful for both the candidates and the audience members who attended. However, that’s where my happy story ends.

Throughout the campaigns there was finger pointing and placing blame on the other person. There were several instances where each candidate handled himself or herself professionally; other situations raised the question on morals.

I was both impressed and taken aback from different instances that occurred throughout the campaigns. One major item that was a problem for both parties

was the flyers being taken down.

None of the candidates had anything to do with the misplacement or discarding of the other candidate’s posters. Outside people were doing this for one of two reasons, to be childish and think they were funny, or they wanted one party to win over the other. Either way, it was childish and caused problems and finger pointing.

As the campaign went on both parties were acting professional and it seemed that students would witness a clean, friendly campaign. However, third party individuals who were pushing for a certain candidate were bringing down the name of that very candidate they were trying to support.

The main reason candidates were being bad mouthed around campus was from third party individuals who wanted their friends to be put in the spot light. However, doing that only represents the person in a bad way and can hurt them in the long run.

As I followed the campaign of both parties, went to the debate, and spoke with each candidate I was pleased with their overall performances. There were questionable times however, where I wondered why a certain person was acting one way, or doing something because it contradicted what they had said or done earlier that week, or day.

For instance, I was approached and emailed after the Student Senate Presidential Debate on Thursday about a specific candidate, who will remain nameless, that pledged one thing during the debate, and in all actuality it is the complete opposite.

MAN ON THE STREET

we asked:

Politics is a tricky business to get into, but if you keep your morals with you it isn’t as difficult. I have a problem with the finger pointing and laying blame on someone else instead of owning up to your mistakes. To me, a person who confesses they made mistakes and come straight out and say it will gain my trust better than someone who hides and denies it.

Not only do I have a problem with people doing this because it’s wrong, but because if you are acting in such a manner at this age, and go on to serve in government, what makes you think you’re morals will become better? United States government politicians are accredited with not making decisions, placing blame on someone else and finger pointing. If you are doing that now in school government, I can guarantee I will not vote for you in national government.

I was very impressed by all four candidates who ran for Student Senate President and Vice President, and I appreciate how they conducted themselves. Neither party necessarily bashed the other like you see in U.S. Presidential candidates for elections, but there were questionable issues that made me lean to one party more than the other. It does not matter who I voted for, both parties did well and I can honestly say I am proud of both.

Just remember, if you are going to hold a public office, whether you are running or are already in office, conduct yourself appropriately. Even if you lose, express gratitude and congratulate the winning opponent. Don’t bash them because you believe you were the better candidate.

Candidate wows in fiery debate

S

o really, how horrible of a person are you? The candidates in last Thursday’s Presidential Debate faced heat for more than two painstaking hours, particularly from the audience who fired a barrage of questions that seemed to ask just this.

All the candidates held reasonably cool composure under this fire, and in doing so they exhibited strong character and were able to communicate their goals to the audience.

While I believe presidential candidate Nate Jones’ debate was effective in ways, let us focus on how we can project the future of Student Senate based on Dillon Spies and Taylor Strong’s debate, particularly Spies’. (If you have not seen the debate, it is on Youtube titled Student Senate 2014 Presidential/Vice Presidential Debate 4/10/2014. I will give the times in this video that correspond with whatever moments are at hand.)

Candidate’s character Firstly, it should be noted that both sides pointed fingers during the debate. This in general is not a way to exhibit good character. However, if a candidate believes an account on an issue from their point of view is imperative for the people to hear, then telling that account could be more indicative of one’s character being strong rather than weak.

Shouldn’t one be called out if they truly did something terribly wrong, especially if the students are not yet aware of it?

I commend Spies for his speech on Jones’ campaign because it pointed out just how distateful Jones’ campaign video really is.

The speech begins at 1:13:12 in the video, “First off, I would like to apologize to all the students here today and to really apologize to all the students on campus.

I would like to apologize because me and my opponent had a chance to really go out there and show you guys

a clean campaign and show you what it meant to be a part of Student Senate. To go out there and run and get votes by shaking hands and talking to people, and by not slandering someone’s name.

And it’s talking about them at the library or making a video where the demographic apparently is students who attend this college who think that we do nothing as president and vice president and who think it’s appropriate and that it is okay to throw condoms around and chant America because apparently that’s a large population of our campus.”

Spies went on to share his opposing view on the students, a part of the speech that showed off his character, “I know that you people don’t want to be branded as that.

You are high scholars. You came to this school to get an education, to get a job, to lead your lives, to have a better chance than those who couldn’t attend school or who didn’t want to and went into the work place.

You came here for a higher learning experience … [Strong and I] not only care about this school, we care about you.”

Furthermore, there was an incident earlier in the week where a student suspecting Spies of breaking bylaws began yelling at Spies and a couple of women. At 1:20:00, during the debate the issue was reaggravated and Spies’ response exhibited more of his character.

“First off I would like to say we did not break any bylaws.

Every single campaign that we had went through [Student Senate President] Jacob Rissler and [Chief Justice] Jon Lordino. … [N]ot only taking our cookies we were passing out but yelling at not only my but my campaign managers face in front of the students and the student body. Is that a way to conduct yourself?”

This is finger pointing, but when a man is yelling at women, I commend such a speech. At the least it

shows strong character on Spies’ part, whether good or bad.

Candidate’s goals During the debate there was time dedicated to things more related to Student Senate and its duties. Spies’ general goal during his campaign was to have let students know he wants positive change. During his presidency, Spies’ efforts toward achieving this will be targeted toward students who want to have an active role in the change rather than students who do not.

At 1:14:48 during another powerful speech, Spies says, “I want people who want change, who want to make a voice and have themselves become something because of college.”

I feel all the candidates this year have already achieved this goal to an extent with some of the students on campus, including me. I never cared for politics, so I never knew where my money was going and so on. Hearing the candidates talk about a lot of the issues on campus currently, about change they want to make, and about why it is important to take a part in that change, I feel I can be someone who helps make changes.

As Spies and Strong take their new positions later this month, they will have the power they need to fuel the change they desire. I am confident they will always remember the people they fought for and have been an element to their success. They endured long hours preparing for the campaigns, longer hours running the campaigns, and finally we can say they have come a long way. I wish for them to do the best that they can, always be proud of themselves, and never turn their backs on the students they serve.

Pushing past art norms Hannah Clark Reporter

Photo by Teri Robinson

Macee Kellner, senior of Bucklin, Kan., hand tinted “Ice Melt” photograph is on display for the senior art show in Memorial Hall’s Main Gallery.

What is art?

Since art cannot be pinned down to one form or purpose, this esthetic quandary has plagued critics for generations.

It is fascinating, then, that students devote their lives to the study and practice of something so undefinable. Four such rebels are Macee Kellner of Bucklin, Kan., Christina Ferrero of Bayard, Robert Lee Heckman of Crawford, and Julya Briseno of Kenosha, Wisc. This quartet of graduating seniors complied a selection of their works, and they are on display in Memorial Hall’s main gallery until Friday.

Title “Art by Independents,” the artists’ show is set in salon style, which means only one wall of the gallery is illuminated, and on this “salon” the various works are placed from floor to ceiling, often hung with wire in vertical rows. This set up emphasizes the variety amongst the four artists, as well as compiles their works into one visuallystimulating piece. This larger piece, made from the “independent” art works united, paints a beautiful picture of CSC’s artistic spectrum.

Kellner’s graphic designs, including many posters she has created for the art and music departments, hang next to Ferrero’s kaleidoscope oils. Heckman’s startling black-and-white paintings sit beside Briseno’s series of delicate watercolors. Each member of the diverse group offers their definition of art to the sundry wall. Each piece represents a style and artistic approach, which proposes a definition of art.

Is art about impact? Sculpturally, Heckman delivers strong statement pieces which range from a skull suspended in an industrial cage to a fantastic minimalist piece called “metal on mirror.”

Is art about craft? Ferrero’s forte, beyond her brush, lies in ceramics and blown-glass pieces. Like Kellner’s pottery, Ferrero provides the show with more tactile examples of her skills, which extend beyond the canvas.

Is art about audience? Kellner’s graphic design focus, in addition to her various other projects, speaks of her commitment to a working relationship with art. Kellner’s professional development grounds her art not only in the camp of beauty, but also functionality.

Or is art about art? A museum studies major, Briseno’s contributions to show are more about the fixtures than the features. Although she shows some of her class pieces, Briseno’s work focuses around composing exhibits, rather than showing in them. In the exhibit’s corner, a computer screen slides through pictures of exhibits Briseno has organized. She also includes a constructed mini-exhibit, dedicated to Claude Barr, a High Plains horticulturalist. Briseno’s composition includes her notes, color swatches, photos of the exhibit in its original case, and the live plants she incorporated.

In addition to a variety of artistic definitions, the cross-medium show displays the broad spectrum of styles the artists practiced during their schooling. Ferrero displays a large batik-dyed wall-hanging, while Heckman’s re-imagined native-pattern paintings shimmer under the spot lights.

Although the show demonstrates the seniors’ diversity, their art communes in common themes. Each artist’s projects are selfportraits, some literally showing the artist’s face, and others showing the artist’s soul. Perhaps this is the common definition of art at which all four arrive. Art is the expression of the individual within the whole, and it places the artist’s personality within a safe frame of expression.

So, although the definition of art remains a mystery, some fine examples of it can be seen on the wall of Memorial Hall’s main gallery.​

ART SHOW DISPLAYS INDIVIDUALITY Evan Brooks Reporter

“Blue” an oil on canvas piece by Christina Ferrero, senior of Bayard, is on display for the senior art show in Memorial Hall’s Main Gallery.

The “Art by Independents” gallery show reception took place from 4-6 p.m., Friday, in Memorial Hall’s Main Gallery. The show is to remain on display through Friday.

It was put on by the seniors of the art department as a way to showcase their art to the public. These seniors include Rob Heckman of Crawford, Christina Ferrero of Bayard, Julya Briseno of Kenosha, Wis., and Macee Kellner of Bucklin, Kan. The meaning behind “Independents” was to express their individuality pertaining to their artwork, and each of the seniors contributed their own style of art to the show.

The art pieces displayed in the showcase ranged from oil paintings to stain glass works. There were also displays of water color, adobe illustrator, mixed media, and photography. The art show was a salon style display, which means that all works shown were displayed on one side of the room. Despite using only one side of the gallery, the display took 14 hours

to hang.

“It was a ton of work,” Ferrero said. “It was a great experience for learning how to hang the artwork and for working with other artists as well.”

Ferrero was responsible for quite a bit of work on display, including some untitled glass works and some oil works on canvas. The majority of her art pieces were done within the last year or two. The newest painting of Ferrero barely had time to dry before being hung for the show.

Briseno possessed the least amount of work out of the four seniors because the course was just a requirement for an internship for her. She described a picture she painted of her friend standing up holding a spider and gave detail of how the picture was be put together.

“I wanted to crop the legs out and just keep the hands, but Mary Donahue said she felt I should keep the whole thing,” Briseno said. “So, she’s kind of the one who inspired me to go through with the whole picture.”

She explained how long that piece took to finish, mentioning that it took quite a bit of time to dry because it was an oil painting.

Women’s rodeo team ride away with a win at CSU Janelle Kesterson Reporter This past week the Chadron State rodeo team traveled to Fort Collins, Colo., to compete in the Colorado State University Rodeo. The women’s team continued their outstanding performances and placed first as a team with 350 points, 80 points above Gillette College.

The Chadron State women’s team is placed second in the region. Trailing by only 130 points to Gillette College. The CSC cowgirls have placed in the top three teams at all eight rodeos thus far this year in the Central Rocky Mountain Region.

There were two CSC Cowgirls who placed this weekend. They were Shaylee Hance, junior of Circle, Mont., and Katie Loughran, junior of Broken Bow. The cowgirls finished second in goat tying and barrel racing respectively.

Hance ran a time of 6.8 in the long go-round of goat typing and 7.2 in the short-go to tie her for fourth place, but her consistency came through to earn her runner-up in the averages.

Loughran was eighth in the long go-round with a barrel time of 15.61 seconds. However, she really shone in the championship go-round with a time of 15.02 seconds, the fastest time of the rodeo. This pulled her to second in the averages.

Both Hance and Loughran have very positive

things to say about the women’s team and the way that they mesh and compete together.

“We have some very competitive girls, and it really helps our practices,” Hance said. “We have girls who have all done well at the college finals, and I know that practicing with them pushes me.

We all get along really well and are always pushing each other at the rodeos. It’s kind of like having another family.”

Loughran shares Hance’s views.

“Our women’s team is something special! We all work very hard each and every day trying to perfect the event...and it takes a lot of time and patience, but we have seemed to start showing it more and more as the rodeos progress in the spring season,” Loughran said. “I feel as if the girls on our team are all very competitive, and we strive to beat our times from the last run or others around us that we know will test our abilities, even in practice. I also think that we have a very cohesive team this year, we all mesh so well together, and it’s a blast getting to do the sport you love while enjoying the people in it as well.”

Hance and Loughran were not the only two CSC cowgirls to do well. Among them were Amy Tierney, senior of Oral, S.D.; Shelby Winchell, senior of Scottsbluff; and Danni Jo Hinman, junior of Hay Springs.

Tierney tied for fourth place in the long goround of goat tying with a time of 6.8 seconds, but

she ran a 8.6 in the finals and that pushed her out of the top six in the final standings. Tierney also placed fourth in the long-go barrels with a time of 15.56 seconds, but was penalized in the final go-round for knocking over a barrel.

Winchell was third in the long-go goat tying with a run of 6.7 seconds, but was disqualified in the second because her goat came untied. Hinman and her partner, Max Zimmerman of Eastern Wyoming College, placed fourth in the team roping averages with runs of 7.5 and 8.3 seconds.

Although no Chadron State Cowboys placed in the averages this weekend, there were two that made it to the finals on Sunday after placing among the top 10 in their long go-rounds. They were Derek Powers, junior of Arthur, in tie-down roping, and Kelby Bond, junior of Avondale, Colo., in steer wrestling.

Powers roped and tied his calf in 13.0 seconds in the long go-round advancing him to the finals where he tied his calf in 10.2 seconds. However, he broke the barrier in the finals and was penalized by 10 seconds leaving him with a time of 20.2, which bucked him out of the averages.

Bond dogged his calf in 9.4 seconds in the long go-round, but he missed his steer in the short goround and therefore took a no time in the finals.

No rodeo will take place this weekend in the region, but the Chadron State Rodeo team will return to action April 25-27 at Casper College.

Men and women’s track team on mark for NCAA D-II Championships Christopher Smith Reporter Chadron States men and women’s track teams turn in remarkable performances at the Bauer track and field meet at South Dakota School of Mines in Rapid City this past Thursday. Athletes from five schools competed.

Highlights from the meet include CSC’s Karl McFarlane, senior of Montego Bay, Jamaica, running an impressive 14.00 seconds in the high hurdles; and Stashia Reuwsaat, freshman of Black Hawk, S.D., who went 19-3 1/2 in the long jump.

The men’s 4x400 relay team consisting of Gavan Archibald, junior of St. Ann, Jamaica; Zerek Jones, sophomore of La Junta, Colo.; Frederick Culp, junior of Mililani, Hawaii; and Phil Rivera, senior of Apple Valley, Calif.; clocked an awe-inspiring time of 3:16.00 which was the second fastest time in school history.

Archibald also won the 400 meter hurdles in 53.56 seconds.

Another winner for the CSC men was senior Brandon Segelke, senior of Sidney. He ran a nice 22.22 seconds in the 200 meters. He also placed second in the 100 meter with a time of 10.86 seconds.

The CSC women dominated the meet winning 10 of the 18 events. Seniors Alyssa Norton, of Rushville, and Cyndi Thomas, of Omaha, threw career bests in the shot put with the mark of 46-7 1/4 and 45-9 3/4 and finishing second and third respectively. These marks are provisional qualifying marks for the upcoming national meet.

Softball team wins 4 of 4 games, shuts out Highlands twice Collin Brook Reporter The Chadron State Eagles softball team is starting to find its groove as the season winds down, building momentum after a convincing series sweep over New Mexico Highlands University last weekend. The Eagles won all four games, and Highlands went home empty-handed.

CSC started the series on Friday afternoon strong by winning the first game, 7-1. The Eagles opened up the scoring with a 6-run 5th inning, including a 3-run homer from Rebecca Wetsch, junior of Erie, Colo. Casey Polk, junior of Golden, Colo., also knotted two RBI’s in the game, which would have ended in a shutout if not for a solo home run from Highland’s Dekota Monarrez, sophomore of West Covina, Calif., in the 7th inning. Despite the home run, Kylee Polsley, senior of Omaha, pitched a great game, with six strikeouts while only allowing three hits all game. Polsley was named the RMAC Pitcher of the Week after her performance this weekend.

In Friday’s second game, the Eagles managed to hold the shutout and finish the day with a 4-0 win. Chadron scored in the first inning when Courtney Lecher, freshman of Fort Col-

lins, Colo., ran home on a wild pitch, narrowly beating the catcher back to home plate. In the 6th inning, CSC scored three runs when Katelyn Kruger, sophomore of Highlands Ranch, Colo., hit a gap and scored Caroline Johnson, sophomore of Firestone, Colo. Rebeka Prokaski, freshman from Broomfield, Colo., pinch-hit and added an RBI to finish the scoring for the Eagles.

Aryn Grywusiewicz, senior pitcher of Denver, struck-out six hitters and allowed just three hits in the shutout.

Saturday’s games both ended in walk-off home runs. In the first game, the Eagles mercy-ruled Highlands, winning 8-0 without playing the 6th or 7th innings.

Katie Londo, senior of Colorado Springs, set the tone for the Eagles with five RBIs, notching hits on all three of her atbats, including two home runs. After being up 7-0 for most of the game, Polsley struck-out the last batter in the 5th inning, and didn’t have to take the mound again. Taylor Bauer, freshman from Rapid City, hit a solo home run in the bottom of the 5th and ended the game early for the Eagles.

Chadron saved their most exciting win for last, ending the series with a dramatic 4-2 victory.

Wetsch hit an RBI in the first inning after a Courtney Lecher, freshman of Fort Collins, Colo., triple, but the Eagles struggled to hit after the first, especially when Highlands took a 2-1 lead in the 3rd inning. The Eagles once again found a spark from Londo, who hit a solo home run in the 6th to tie the game and energize the dug-out. Grywusiewicz struck out two hitters in the 7th, holding Highlands to just two runs despite having seven hits all game. Bauer had a nice single in the bottom of the 7th, and Shea Graham, sophomore of Colorado Springs, took advantage. Graham tried to bunt twice, but fouled both, leaving her in a 0-2 hole. After confidently watching Highlands pitch three straight balls, Graham hammered the next pitch over the center-field wall to send Highlands home for good.

The next game for CSC is on Friday, at Black Hills State University, Spearfish, S.D., who are 1-21 in conference play.

The Eagles are 20-18 overall this season, and currently sitting at 5th place in the RMAC.

History students present at Laramie Last weekend the History 465: Processes in North American West class travelled to Laramie, Wyo., for a conference sponsored by Phi Alpha Pheta and the UW History Club.

Friday evening, the group of six students and instructor David Nesheim, went to a supper where they listened to a keynote speaker talk about Rock Springs and the Chinese Miners.

Saturday morning, they spent the day listening to students present their papers, including CSC student Robert Nickels, senior of Lincoln, who spoke about Frank Estair.

After those presentations, CSC students NaKaya Fester, senior of Hemingford; Kayla Colfack, junior of Butte; Russel Zephier, senior of Chadron; Misty Dickey, sophomore of Worland; and Jacob VanGundy, senior of Hot Springs, S.D., had a round table discussion on the History Harvest that took place March 29.
