Enrollment beats national trend Ashley Swanson News Editor As college enrollments decrease nationwide, Chadron State is bucking that trend, keeping just above the national average, Jon Hansen, interim vice president of enrollment management and marketing, said.

“The fact that we’re up half a percent is good,” he said.

As of Tuesday, enrollment was 2,937, which is up .24 percent from last year’s figure of 2,390 at this time. Enrollment in 2011 was 2,931; in 2012, it was 3,005.

In May, The Huffington Post reported that college enrollment nationwide has been slowly declining by 2.3 percent since spring 2013. The National Student Clearinghouse, a source for education verification and student educational outcomes research, stated in the Huffington Post that Midwest schools saw a 2.6 percent drop in enrollment—the biggest decrease among the regions.

The article states that drops in enrollment might be the result of students returning to the workforce, since the economy is slowly improving.

CSC’s incoming freshman class totaled 773, but there was a drop in the number of students matriculating from freshman to sophomores, and juniors to seniors. From fall 2012 to now, the sophomore class dropped 7 percent from 408 to 376 students. The senior class dropped almost .5 percent from 646 to 643 from 2012-13.

“I don’t know yet why,” Hansen said about the attrition.

Hansen, CSC President Randy Rhine, and Vice President of Academic Affairs Charles Snare, are working to figure out why there are lower numbers of students in certain areas, as there are several elements they need to consider, Hansen said.

“It’s important for us to discover [the reason],” he said. “If there’s something we need to do, then we’ll fix it.”

Although the reason is not yet clear, Hansen expects to see CSC’s enrollment exceed 3,000 at the conclusion of the first eight-week classes.

Senate swears in members; CAB considers changes Hannah Clark Copy Editor Katherine Sullivan Reporter Senate swore in 13 new members at the Monday meeting.

Each dorm hall was represented, filling five of the positions. The eight remaining positions were filled by seven senators and one faculty advisor. Nathan Gallegos, a new assistant business professor, replaced James Wada as one of three faculty advisors. Jon Lordino, chief justice, reported five still-vacant senate positions.

Students interested should contact an executive board member.

“Senate will have an amazing year this year,” Senate President Jacob Rissler said.

Soon students will have one less password to remember, Chief Information Officer Ann Burke said. IT is changing Office 365, or Eaglemail, to log in with the student’s campus computer log-in. The switch will occur Tuesday at 6 a.m.

Senate Vice President Nate Jones brought up the issue of firearms storage for students. It is illegal to store firearms in vehicles and dorms on campus. A group of people are attempting to find a place off campus for students to store firearms during school. There is currently no place lined up for storage.

Senate is investigating the purchase of equipment to produce “Senate In a Minute” videos, since the equipment being used will soon be unavailable.

Discussion of the new Senate Finance Committee was brought up by Rissler. The committee will consist of nine members and two cochairs who will have no voting right.

Rissler asked senators if there were any ideas

for War Memorial Park, which was brought up last week. The park will keep Frisbee golf and redo the tennis courts.

Senate will not meet Monday due to Labor Day. It will resume Monday, Sept. 9.

Changes in the CAB constitution and the implementation of new ideas have CAB Chair Lane Swedberg “looking to the future.”

In the meeting Tuesday, a new seating arrangement which is currently under consideration, was discussed. A suggestion included a round table setting so the club representatives could get more involved with each other.

The arrangement would allow for a five to ten minute focus team to exchange their ideas for possible improvements on campus. Another improvement includes a monthly CAB newsletter that will contain a recap of the previous month and a preview for the next month. CAB executive board welcomes any new ideas for improvement.

Swedberg announced a change in the CAB constitution that says money will be allocated on a quarterly basis. With this change, clubs can receive more funding for an event if they contact CAB executive board by Oct. 1.

CAB members were asked to volunteer for two committee positions, if interested. One of the positions available to the students is on the homecoming committee and the other is on the diversity committee. If club members are interested, they need to contact Swedberg or Director of Student Activities Laure Sinn for more information.

Wrapping up the meeting, Swedberg reminded the representatives that CAB has a three absence rule that started Tuesday with everyone having a clean slate, excluding the clubs that were not present.

“We want to make CAB more personal for clubs. We will be implementing those changes next semester. We also wish to increase communication throughout campus to all students.”

The log-on for Chadron State College’s EagleMail student email service will change next week, according to a mass-email sent Wednesday by the IT Department.

The change begins at 6 a.m., Tuesday, and will allow students to log-in to their CSC email account with the same username and password they use to access the TK20 assessment system, campus computers, library databases, and register network devices.

Returning CSC students will remember the problems encountered when IT switched EagleMail to the Office 365 platform in November 2012. This time around, however, should be much easier, Ann Burke, Chief Information Officer, said Monday.

“We have been working on this project over the summer to make sure it goes smoothly,” Burke said.

IT staff will be on duty to assist any students who are having difficulty with the transition.

Students needing assistance should contact the Helpdesk at 308-432-6311 or helpdesk@csc.edu.

Students are also advised to go to https://campuspassword.csc.edu and follow these instructions: 1. Click on “Create/Edit my Profile” and enter your campus username (Ex.: john.smith or josmit) and your password.

2. Answer three questions to complete your profile setup.

3. Click on Update to save your profile settings.

OPINION

EDITORIAL–THE EAGLE’S VIEW

Americans should avoid Syrian intervention

‘

Tis the season for saber rattling, as statesmen and politicians eye the Syrian situation with delicate cross hairs.

Syria’s civil war sparked in 2011 on the heels of the Arab Spring, a “Twitter Revolution” that foundered shortly after crossing the imaginary lines of her borders.

Syria has been gripped with the tides of attack and counter-attack; harsh crack-downs by loyalist government forces have been met with the brutal retaliation by rebel factions.

In early 2012, hackers broke into Syrian president Bashar Al-Assad’s personal email using an imbecilic password pulled from a Mel Brooks movie; “1234.” What did the leaked emails reveal? Sheherazad Ja’afari, Syria’s press attaché at the United Nations, coached Assad through talking points prior to his bizarre interview with ABC’s Barbara Walters.

“Don’t talk reform. American’s won’t care, or understand that,” one e-mail said. The email further advised that the Syrian president talk about mistakes and blame his own police.

“American psyche can be easily manipulated when they hear that there are ‘mistakes’ done and now we are ‘fixing it.’” Ja’afari’s comments illustrate an interesting critique of American apathy, but it is an understatement.

In May, TIME’s Aryn Baker released an exclusive video of a Syrian rebel engaging in cannibalism. The video highlighted the symbolic gesture of a militant leader eating the heart of a dead Syrian soldier. The gory account is second only to the sickening footage of deposed Libyan dictator, Muammar Gaddafi, being sodomized with a knife. In light of displays of actual human rights violations, a segment on CNN’s “The Situation Room,” couched the issue.

During his interview with Baker, anchor Wolf Blitzer was more interested in discussing TIME’s cover story; Angelina Jolie’s voluntary mastectomy. His prerogative was pejorative.

Monday, Secretary of State John Kerry said with urgency that evidence of a chemical attack by the Syrian government was “undeniable,” but we heard similar rhetoric over a decade ago.

A recent Reuters poll shows that any U.S. military involvement in Syria is more unpopular than the current congress approval rating.

We have seen this movie before, and the script has already skipped to calling for an “exit-strategy.”

Syrian atrocities are nothing new; so perhaps America should sit this one out, at least until we finish our current war.

Video killed the video star

S

o apparently the VMAs were this last Sunday.

When someone told me about that, my initial reaction was “People still watch MTV?” I know, shocking isn’t it?

To think that what used to be the greatest channel available on basic cable has been turned into a landscape of reality TV and bad music. I understand that there might be some people around here that think Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus are the greatest thing since sliced bread, but after watching five seconds of “We Can’t Stop”, I’m going to have to disagree with them.

Let’s face it: the overall quality of music television has been sharply declining since the mid-90’s with the introduction of the Backstreet Boys, and I’m pretty sure that the decline won’t be stopping soon. Like I said earlier, it’s mostly crappy reality Richard Heule TV, give or take a few music videos throughout the day, but that Contributor doesn’t change the fact that MTV has been turned into a feeding frenzy of pop culture geared toward teenagers who think about President Bill Clinton. that “swag” and “#YOLO” belong in the dictionary.

Why ‘We Can’t Stop’ trashy TV

I

f you happened to watch the VMAs on Sunday night, then you happened to catch a star-studded event packed with giant teddy bears, scantily clad women, and Robin Thicke in a Beetlejuice outfit.

If you missed the show, then you couldn’t help but notice when your Facebook / Twitter news feed exploded with outraged cries of disgust and disturbia.

How could network television that is readily available nationwide sink to such depths for ratings? What has become of the always classy and sophisticated pop culture in this country?

What caused such an outrage, you ask? A woman with bleachblonde hair was making obscene sexual gestures during an onstage performance of a hit single.

Alright, let me stop you folks there. I have a few problems with all of this so-called outrage. Let’s take a quick trip back in time. It’s 1956, and a young man with slick black hair and a pitchy-at-best voice is ruling over the charts, shaking his hips on television and stage alike.

Elvis Presley garnered himself the nickname “Elvis the Pelvis” for his gyrations, and most television networks refused to film him from the waist down because of it. He was a god among men, a true rock star of his age, and, now, we refer to him as “The King.” Half of the man’s fame came from black hair dye and what is essentially the forefather of the “twerk.”

Pick any time period between now and the last 50 years, and you’ve got a sex symbol to go with it. The likes of Marilyn Monroe, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Twiggy sure didn’t become pop culture staples with their stunning intelligence and save-the-world philosophies. Not a lot of people had a problem with hyper-sexualization in the past, so forgive me if I say that 2013 seems like a strange year to finally decide the worship of good looking people is an outrage.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not defending Miley Cyrus’s stage show, nor am I condoning her horrid songwriting ability. But that’s art, man. Hippie-dippie or new-wave as that may sound, there’s been a lot of crappy songs, movies, and books written for the sake of creativity. Miley has just as much of a right to shave her head and write bad music as the rest of us, the only difference is no one cares when we do it.

If you are a fan of rap music yet scorn Miley for her suggestive behavior, you are either a hypocrite, or in a state of denial that is absolutely mind boggling. The same goes for watching any real-

Jeff McFarland Contributor ity television show, reading any book regarding shades of grey, or just generally being an American consumer.

Sex sells. Like it or not, it’s a fact, and it’s a fact we all perpetuate. That being said, since when are we all so offended by sexual gestures?

On an awards show put on by MTV (a network famous for no longer having anything to do with music), where the entire point is garnering viewers, what better way to do it than to parade around skinny white women in barely anything at all? Lady Gaga kicked the show off in a white thong, but that’s just Lady Gaga being Lady Gaga, no big deal.

If you really have a problem with the sex on TV and in mediocre music, you do have the power to change it. Unplug your television. Stop buying albums based on what Billboard’s Top 40’s chart says is good.

TV networks are operating on a philosophy of “any publicity is good publicity,” so if you take away the viewers, you leave them with nothing. Everytime you pass around that picture of Will Smith’s family “reacting” to Miley’s performance (which didn’t happen), you feed the machine.

A culture that allows television shows like “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” to continue, yet gets offended by a strategically-placed foam finger makes my skin crawl.

Maybe if we directed all this passion about the VMAs towards something that actually mattered, our culture wouldn’t have to be represented by a 20 year old former child actress with a goofy haircut and a questionable fashion sense.

Have a complaint? Put it in writing.

A

voice is a powerful thing to have. Through your voice, you can inspire beauty or bring sorrow. You can employ your voice to spin fantasy or highlight the crushing grind of reality. With any voice comes an opinion; our individual likes and dislikes, our beliefs and our theories.

But without a vehicle, your voice cannot affect anything. If you want to inspire change and progress, or if you strive to conserve the values you cherish, being silent won’t help you in the slightest.

No matter how many Facebook friends you have, no matter how many Twitter followers you gain; the outcome is still going to be same. You might get a few likes for a well-crafted rant, or get a head nod from friends, but your reach will be limited.

I overhear chatter from students complaining about the cam-

pus newspaper, and the thing that gets me is that they are not willing to express their opinion in the one place that scathing critiques are actually encouraged: the Opinion page.

If you think that the opinions presented here are too “liberal,” maybe you should try writing a guest column. If you think you can do better than any of our current columnists, then we will lay the gauntlet down for you to prove it.

You have to have the courage to own your opinions publicly, and if you think you’re up to the task, I’ll gladly give you the space to have your letter or column published. Keep in mind that we reserve the right to edit your submissions.

This is an open invitation. Write a letter if you disagree with anything presented in the Opinion section.

Or don’t. You can complain and suffer in silence if you want, but don’t say we didn’t give you a chance for your voice to be heard.

News Editor t takes a special kind of talent to be able to dance the night away, and Chadron State students appear to have those skills.

Thursday night, foam billowed into the endclosed tent area.

Speakers bounced as bass filled the air with hip-hop, country, and rap music as eager students started to arrive. Students seemed to enjoy grabbing handfuls of foam and slapping it on top of other unsuspecting people, while other participants hustled to spread the foam on the dance floor. As the night moved along, more and more students piled into the tent, creating an area jampacked with bodies dancing back-to-back.

As cool as the night air was, the air inside was thick and hot. Despite the warmth emanating from each person’s body, students continued dancing and swaying to the upbeat music.

Stopping the party Thursday night was out of the question, for Friday brought a carnival sponsored by Residence Life Association. Numerous games, sweet treats, including a cotton candy machine, and hot dogs were ready and waiting for students to take their turn.

Some games included drunk basketball, which required students to wear glasses that threw their vision off, while trying to make a hoop.

Watching was just as entertaining as playing. The glasses messed up the players vision not only when shooting, but also when players walked to capture the ball. Some students had to put their hands out to steady themselves, while others had to chase the ball in a drunk-like fashion in order to obtain it.

Another game tested students on their coordination with darts. Students had to try and pop balloons with darts.

Popping a balloon awarded students a ticket, which they could enter for a chance at winning a prize. Skee ball challenged students by rolling a ball in attempt of making it in a hole. As with the balloon game, students were rewarded tickets for winning.

Can’t walk with your feet tied? How about in a sack? Sack races seemed to be popular with students as they raced each other down a short lane to the finish line. Between three and six students prepared themselves for the race by sticking their feet in pink and white striped bags. After a short countdown, “go!” was shouted, which started an amusing journey down the grassed area.

Although most students made it to the finish line, at least one student in each race face planted into the ground. The bags, though durable for such abuse, were often too short for tall students, which created another challenge to the race whether it was wanted or not.

As the second week of classes comes to an end, it’s apparent that CSC set the fall semester off on the right foot, as seen on the faces of those who attended the events. Whether it’s dancing the night away or trying their luck at a game of drunk basketball, CSC students definitely know how to have a good time.

Scrimmage preps Eagles for season opener CSC heads east to Rolla, Mo., for Sept. 5 opener vs. the Miners of Missouri University S&T Jordyn Hulinsky Sports Editor

Senior inside receiver Cody Roes, of Chadron, catches a pass during drills at Saturday’s scrimmage. The Eagles open their season Sept. 5 on the road against the Miners of Missouri University of Science & Technology, Rolla.

he Eagles started to focus on the upcoming football season this past weekend with a scrimmage.

Head Coach Jay Long said the team had a short camp this year and used the scrimmage to see how the second and third teams react in game situations.

On the offensive side, Coordinator Chris Stein said the scrimmage was successful in helping the coaches see what they needed out of their players.

Defensive Coordinator Jeff Larson said the scrimmage helped him make one final evaluation of his defensive line before the season opener Sept. 5 at Missouri University of Science & Technology, Rolla.

Overall, Larson said as long as his guys continue to be consistent on the front line he will have lots of confidence.

He said the majority of last year’s starting line were seniors whom he lost to graduation, but as long as the men replacing them this year stay healthy and consistent, he will remain confident in them.

Stein said that this season there’s been progress in the offense’s performance as practices continue, noting that there has been a change of tempo this year, but things still seem to be going well. He added that this season the offense has a lot of returning players who should serve the team well.

“We have so many old (veteran) players,” he said, “that I could name off the whole offensive to tell you some names to look for this season.”

Koch Long expressed similar thoughts.

“You know, I’m excited about our veterans,” he said Friday afternoon. “We are going into our 12th practice and I am impressed with our veterans. You know, we have 12 days to continue to improve, and that’s the plan.”

Larson said his entire secondary is dynamic and all have their separate good qualities. He said his senior linebackers Miller Shea Koch of Custer, S.D., and Bryant Miller of Bayard are good guys and good ball players.

Long said that his players know that their focus is on the team, and when they do something well, the team gets the credit. They play for the team, he said.

Long also said he feels bad about losing senior safety Trelan Taylor of Spring Valley, Calif., for six games, but noted that Taylor is a team player who is doing what he can to help.

“You know what he did when he found out,” Long said.

“He was sitting right there in that chair and he asked, ‘Coach, what can I do to make the team better?’”

Youth movement swings through golf team Byron McLaughlin Reporter

Nicole Thramer, freshman of Bartlett, putts during a practice round Tuesday at the Ridgeview Country Club Golf Course.

There is a youth movement swinging across the Chadron State golf team, as this season opens.

Coach Terri Connealy said she is looking at a trio of sophomores to lead the Eagles on the fairways.

“We have a young group for sure this year,” Connealy said. “But our three returning sophomores have good experience. All three were in Wetzel top five from our team last year.”

Those sophomores are Schuyler Wetzel of Hot Springs, S.D., Elysha Stahla of Moorcroft, Wyo., and Emma Harris of Wahoo.

“Both Emma and Schuyler can be in the one or two position for us this year,” Connealy said. “So with these two leading the way, I hope to see the team do well this season.”

Joining the sophomores are freshmen Danielle Stahla Brennan of Ellsworth and Mikayla Gallagher of Lead, S.D. “These freshmen are pretty good and they can help us a lot this season,” Connealy said.

This season, the golf team plays nine tournaments – four in the fall, five in the spring, including the national tournament. The Eagles’ season tees off Sept. 6-7 at Colorado State University-Pueblo. Harris

from page 8

Long said Taylor, who lead the team with eight interceptions last year, is a great leader. Although he feels bad for Taylor, Long said the next guy always has to be ready to step up. Tyler Wright, senior of Arvada, Colo., Wright is that next guy.

“Tyler, he knows every position, he’s a smart player and I’m confident in playing him,” Larson said.

Red shirt freshman defensive back Ryan Wood of Stockton, Calif., is another player who will see game action and Larson said he is confident about calling on him.

“He has been progressing all year, even since Wood spring,” Larson said. “So I’m confident in his playing, as well.”

The team’s next focus is to go down to Missouri S&T and beat them, Long said.

“Yes! We are ready,” Larson said. “Our boys are ready to hit someone else.”

Coach Tyler Fenwick from Missouri S&T said Tuesday that his team is undergoing many changes, but should be prepared for the Eagles come Sept. 5.

“We haven’t played Chadron recently, at least not that I know of,” Fenwick said. “And I know they are a good team with a tradition of winning.

“We have lots of changes coming this year. I’m new and we lost a lot of seniors from last year, so it should be an interesting game,” Fenwick said.

Fenwick said he is looking to beef up the Miners’ schedule a little from last year. The team went 10-1 last season but did not make the playoffs. Chadron State, on the other hand, finished 9-3 a year ago, and made the playoffs.

Tipping his hat to the Eagles, Fenwick said he thinks playing CSC will help his team improve the caliber of its schedule.

FIRST CLASS

Two students strike a pose during Wednesday’s hypnotist performance in the Student Center Ballroom.

Hypnotist Entrances Chadron Yesterday, professional hypnotist Valerie Reeves mesmerized students in the Sandhills room of the student center. Students modeled imaginary outfits, played gnome, and peeped at their audiance through “naked shades,” all to their peers’ amusement. Reeves, a Chadron native, started practicing hypnotism at the San Diego Health Alliance. She worked as a nurse for heroine and methadone addicts, and when her supervising doctor introduced therapeutic hypnotism, Reeves trained in the practice.

Reeves’ daughter encouraged her to take her

talents on stage, so Reeves teamed up with Gary Bensen, who taught business at Chadron at the time. After preforming at Chadron’s Comedy Box (a by-gone downtown installment), Reeves contacted Laurie Sinn about preforming at the college. Faithful to her roots, Reeves returns annually from Silicon Valley to entertain the student body. Of her profession, Reeves said her volunteers are made very susceptible to suggestion. “It demonstrates the power of words,” Reeves said, before her show.

“I have to be so careful what I say.”

“I used to wear my casual sweatpants when I am home, and I would wear my formal sweatpants on school days.”

One of the pieces in the “Grimm Changes” exhibit shows intricate illustrations. Several of the pieces in the exhibit show the evolution of artwork in the texts.

Sandoz exhibit reveals fairytales’ ‘Grimm’ truth Sara Labor Lifestyles Editor Past tall grasses that fall over the cement sidewalk is the Mari Sandoz Center. This building is not, as one student recently commented, the crypt where the bodies of former Chadron State College Presidents are kept. Instead, the Mari Sandoz Center houses museum exhibits, the current one being “Grimm Changes,” a Brothers Grimm exhibit that may draw students out of the hot prairie grasses and into the welcoming cool and educational air of the Sandoz Center.

This year marks the 200th anniversary of the publication of the Brothers Grimm Children and Household Tales, which was written in 1812 by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm.

The exhibit, titled “Grimm Changes: From Folk Tales to Fairy Tales,” features different books that show the evolution of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales. The displays have different adaptations of the fairy tales, including everything from Caldecott-winning books to Golden Press books.

The stories, according to Wilhelm Grim, were

not meant to be suitable for children. “The aim of our collection… was that the poetry living in it be effective… that it therefore became a manual of manners,” a plaque in the exhibit quotes. The exhibit shows the change in some of the stories, including Rapunzel, the first edition of which had Rapunzel wondering why her clothes were tight. The first publishing of Rapunzel was meant to warn against pre-marital sex, but was changed in the second publishing to be more child-friendly.

The exhibit presents different adaptations of several different stories, Rapunzel being one of the more prominent stories.

Sarah Polak, Sandoz Center Director, says that she believes students are excited to learn more about the old, darker side of the stories.

“I think a lot of students are familiar with the stories and we’re planning some activities for the exhibit,” Polak says. She is hopeful that the familiar name will draw students into the Sandoz Center.

Polak also says that the current exhibit ties in well with what the school is doing. “I searched for something that would tie in with gnomes,” Polak says.

The exhibit is provided by the George A. Smathers Libraries at the University of Florida in Gainesville. Generally the exhibit does not travel. However, Polak wrote to the Smathers Libraries for special permission.

“I wrote a letter saying what we [the Sandoz Center] are about, and they agreed,” Polak says.

Polak says that she is very excited about the exhibit because it’s a topic people can connect to. “Most students have read the stories or at least seen the movies.”

The exhibit will be showing in the Sandoz Center until Oct. 11, giving interested students time to drop in and learn more about the stories they grew up with, as well as pick up a candy book mark and cookie notepad.
