Pink month is here.

October not only brings us fall and Halloween, it’s also a month where sports teams wear pink, 5k walks are lined with pink banners, and pink ribbons are given away as a symbol of support for those that have been diagnosed with breast cancer.

October has been the pivotal month for spreading awareness of the disease since 1985.

According to the World Health Organization, breast cancer is the number one cause of cancer deaths for women across the globe.

Despite myths that young adults don’t suffer from breast cancer, women ages 20 to 30 can still develop it.

In March, Madison Webb, a recent CSC graduate and statistically one of the best volleyball players to wear an Eagle jersey, noticed something wasn’t right with her health. Shortly

after graduation she was diagnosed with stagetwo breast cancer.

Webb reacted to her diagnosis and the rounds of exams, ultrasounds, and chemotherapy treatments with an athlete’s mindset.

“I think honestly sports prepared me for this,” Webb said. “You just learn a lot of things of just life in general, but being a competitor, I just wanted to take this thing head on.

Senate eyes January date to reschedule Eli Young concert u By Aubrie Lawrence News Editor

This week senate discussed its recent trip to Peru State College and began looking at dates to reschedule the Eli Young Concert.

Senate sent nine members to Peru State College over midterm break to attend the annual NSCS Conference.

The conference highlighted speakers that touched on leadership and shared

personal stories.

“Overall, it kind of encouraged young leaders to not wait to take action,” President Lukus Klueber. “We are very good leaders at our age and we can’t shy away from taking on tasks because of our age or because of the stigma that we have to be older to take on leadership tasks.”

A task force was put together to start plans for next year’s conference, which will be hosted at CSC.

Senate began discussions to find a rescheduled date for the Eli Young concert that was supposed to take place on Oct. 10. Jan. 24 was discussed by the senate, but an official decision has yet to be made.

The discussion to allocate $2,500 for motivational speaker Chris Singleton was reopened after being tabled at the Sept. 30 meeting. After learning that the money was needed because athletics does not have a budget due

to the budget cuts for the Math and Science building renovation, senate approved to allocate the full amount.

National Survey Student Engagement, requested $261 from senate to fund another survey for students and faculty. Lee Miller said this survey would compare the thoughts about the campus and bring new ideas about how the campus could be improved.

Senate approved the full amount requested.

Professional Business leaders requested $1,028 to help pay for the flight and hotel room for their adviser as a part of their upcoming trip to New York. Senate approved the request, but the funds will have to be reimbursed by Feb. 28, 2020.

Senate has $37,578.88 in total unallocated funds and $22,584.86 in unallocated trip funds.

The application for Student Trustee is open until 4 p.m. on Nov. 4.

CAB notes campus events, free movie night date u By Aubrie Lawrence News Editor

October introduces us to the autumn season u By Kyle Rayl Contributor

October is the month that begins to start feeling like fall. Fall brings colder weather, football, pumpkin spice, falling leaves, and the beginning of the holiday season. Despite the cold weather, there are plenty of fun things to do in and around Chadron this time of year.

One of the most popular activities is going to a pumpkin patch. There is a pumpkin patch in Rapid City, South Dakota, called Lil’ Harvester’s Pumpkin Patch, located on 8686 S. Highway 16.

This little pumpkin patch has plenty of pumpkins you can choose from, some weighing over 50 pounds. They also have a farmers-market you can stroll through for fresh produce.

With Halloween coming up, going to

a haunted house will really get you into the spooky spirit. There is a haunted house in Rapid City called Terror in the Dark Haunted House, located at 800 San Fransisco St. This haunted house also has a corn maze and they both open from Friday, Oct. 18th until Sunday, Oct. 20th, and then from Friday, Oct. 25th to Sunday, Oct. 28th.

This haunted house opens at 7 p.m. and costs $10.00.

However, being a Colorado native, if you really want to get scared, I suggest making a trip to Denver and visiting the 13th Floor Haunted House. That will give you quite the scare.

Football is in full swing for this cold fall. If you are a football fan, go support our local Chadron State Eagles. This will give you an exciting, competitive atmosphere that you can enjoy with your friends and classmates. The next

Eagles home game is Saturday, Nov. 9th at noon. They are taking on South Dakota School of Mines at Elliott Field.

You can also support our local stores and restaurants during this season. If you have a hankering for pumpkin spice or coffee in general, a new coffee shop just opened here in Chadron. It is called Just Love Coffee Café. This coffee shop is located on 302 Main St. and has a variety of options for the coffee lovers out there, as well as many delicious food options for anyone that is hungry.

The fall season is a time for coming together and celebrating the upcoming holiday seasons.

Going out with friends and family for exciting activities is a great way to embrace the season. Don’t let this cold weather stop you from having fun because there are great places to go to get into the fall spirit.

As You Said It! We asked: Do you regret anything you did during the first half of the semester?

STEPPING UP WITH ABIGAIL

College is a time to build life habits u By Abigail Swanson Columnist

Welcome back from midterm break! The semester is sprinting to a close and your daily or weekly routine is soon to be tested. Thanksgiving break is about a month away, and the wildness of finals and the great unknown mass of winter break are close on its heels, all severe trials to any routine.

Though school is hectic, the freedom that we have as college students is huge compared to the responsibility of working a full-time job, caring for a house, apartment or vehicle, taking care of a family and much more. But even in such a busy situation, I

don’t just want to live my job, (whatever that ends up being) I want to do other things as well.

For example, I want to continue learning in some way after I graduate. I am not sure if that means grad school or music lessons, but I know that for me personally, this will require some kind of classes or volunteer work or something where I will be forced into learning new things or practicing skills that I already know.

I know this because now, even in my relatively nonbusy school life, I do not study without an assignment deadline.

I have not spent the effort to build the habit of learning to simply know. There are many

Abigail Swanson other things I aspire to do, but I never make the time for simply because there is something else with a deadline to do first.

This is something I want to change, and there is no time like the present to begin. All through the first half of my life, my habits

and schedules were determined by my parents and what they thought was important. In college, I don’t have my parents urging me in my daily choices. I am an adult, my parents built a foundation of beliefs and habits for me, but I must decide which of those I will continue to build off and which I want to replace with new values.

As a child, it was easy to go to church every Sunday, the decision had already been made, all I was responsible for was getting ready in time.

Now it’s more of a challenge.

Not only did I need to find a church (which was work), but every Sunday I have to get myself out of bed (even harder). I

have to drown out the little voice in my head explaining all the (lame) reasons why I am justified in sleeping through Sunday school and should only go to the morning service.

Sometimes I listen to the little voice, but every time I get up and go, I know that it is a decision that I am making for myself, one that is in line with the person I want to be and one that I am making, not one that someone else made for me.

College is the time to build those life habits that you want to maintain through the rest of your life’s raging sea of craziness.

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

Five minutes every day can help

u By Rachel Mitchell Columnist

We are half way through the semester everyone. The eighth week of school is coming to an end and hopefully midterms are out of the way for the most part.

Around this time every semester most students just try to make it to the end of the semester.

They count down the weeks and try to make it to that final 16th week of the semester. But there is still quite some time between now and then that every person can make the most of.

I want to encourage everyone to do something every week to try and improve on. Try to find something that only takes up

five minutes of your morning to improve your day. Five minutes.

That’s it. That really is not a lot of your time to improve your day, but it can make a big difference in the long run.

With these five minutes there are quite a few things you can do. So, take five minutes and try one of these simple ways to lower your stress, boost your mood, and get more energy.

This one is going to sound more of a clean freak thing, but take the time to make your bed.

Some people don’t really see the point in making a bed if you are just going to sleep in it at night.

However, it has been proven to enhance the calmness in your environment when you make your bed in the morning.

Another thing you can do in

Rachel Mitchell about five minutes is cleaning your desk or where you have a mess in your room or house.

From old homework papers, to coffee mugs, to random stuff you’ve just happened to set down there. Take some time to organize that space.

One that I highly recommend is to take some time to stretch,

mediate, or just mindful breathing. All of these are something you don’t need a lot of space for and you can do by yourself.

You can also look up videos on YouTube to guide you if you’ve never done any of these activities before.

Any and all of these things can help you get your mind and body ready for the day or can calm you down after a long day.

One last suggestion I have is to turn off your phone, TV, tablet, or whatever electronics and take some time to write.

You can write about whatever you are thinking about, maybe something that bothered you that day, maybe just write down your to-do or grocery list.

The time you take just to write something could really

improve your day or even better prepare you for an upcoming event in your life.

The purpose of taking some time out of your day to do something along these lines gives you a better foundation to your day. Even though we all want to sprint to the end of the semester, there is still a lot of time to make the best of every day.

You can start building time into your days to make little life improvements. Each of these tiny differences can improve your life vastly in the long run.

Even if you think it’s just a lousy five minutes, it can make all the difference. Take those five minutes for yourself and watch your life improve.

FRIDAY

The sound of country music filled the air in the Hub Monday night as 80 students showcased their roping skills during the third annual Dummy Ropin’ event sponsored by RLA. Teams of two had to survive three rounds of roping for a chance to win the grand prize.

In the first round, there were 44 teams of two. That dwindled down to 37 teams in the second round.

Finishing with 20 teams in the third and final round. To advance each

round, teams had to first rope the head or the heel, next rope the head and the heel and in the third round they were timed on how fast they could rope the head and the heel.

Patrick Brown, sophomore of Kadoka, South Dakota, and Buck Butterfield, junior of Warland, Wyoming, took home the grand prize winning the fastest roping.

This event presented a different experience for a lot of students, the countryside and the city side come together.

“It’s a great teaching moment,” said coordinator of the event Shantelle Roy, senior of Scotia.

“I like to meet new people and have fun with the friends I have,” Anna Fisher, freshman of Beaver City said. Fisher also commented that she grew up roping dummies in her front yard with her brothers.

Hot chocolate paired with cinnamon rolls and puppy chow were offered to students.

The budget for the event totaled $332, which was used to purchase prizes and food, according to Roy. RLA will continue events this weekend with Live Clue night Friday in the Reta King Library at 7 p.m. and Husker Party at 1:30 p.m. in the Hub, Saturday.

PINK MONTH,

from page 1

October is Breast Cancer Aware “I don’t want to become a victim of cancer, I wanted to beat it even though it would take a toll on my body. I wanted to come out on the other end of it stronger than when it had started.”

With the support of her family and friends, Webb underwent treatment. On Oct. 1, Webb had her last of six bouts of chemotherapy and discovered just Monday the tumor she had found in March is gone. In the next couple of weeks Webb says she’ll undergo radiation and will have surgery at the end of October.

Webb said in March she had felt good, was working out and had no signs that would have indicated a health crisis.

“By the grace of God I happened to feel a lump in my right breast and immediately knew, because of the size of it, something wasn’t right,” Webb said.

She says initially her thoughts went to the worst. She visited CSC’s Health Services office but the nurse was out. A staff member there recommended she keep an eye on the lump.

After about a month, the nature of the lump hadn’t changed and Webb returned and received

a breast exam. After the exam she was referred to a doctor who suggested an ultrasound. She received the ultrasound the week of graduation and was originally diagnosed with a benign tumor. She was then connected with a clinic in Colorado to have it removed, but an additional ultrasound also found a spot on her lymph node.

The day after, a biopsy showed that both the tumor and spot were positive for cancer.

Webb’s discovery of the lump wasn’t necessarily “early detection.” She says lumps typically start out the size of a raisin. Hers had grown to the size of a grape by the time she made the initial discovery.

Still, the earlier the cancer can be found, the more likely it is to have a positive outcome.

“It’s not too early to start keeping an eye on these things even if you feel great or are feeling like yourself,” she says.

“Being aware and being able to catch it early can end up saving a life.”

Webb also says young adults shouldn’t be scared or feel silly for having health concerns.

“Assuming it’s nothing can be really dangerous.”

Self exams can be the simplest way to be protive about detecting breast cancer. When the ncer is detected in the early stages, women ve a 93 percent or higher survival rate in the st five years.

Students who suspect they may have discoved a lump, or think something may not be right th their health can visit the Health Services partment at CSC or contact Western Commuty Health Resources for a breast exam.

Myth vs fact: Breast Cancer Myth - If I don’t have a family history of breast cancer, I won’t get it.

Fact - Most people diagnosed with breast cancer have no known family history.

Myth - If you maintain a healthy weight, exercise regularly, eat healthy and limit alcohol, you don’t have to worry about breast cancer.

Fact - Although these behaviors can help lower breast cancer risk, they can’t eliminate it.

Myth - Wearing a bra with an under wire can cause breast cancer.

Fact- There is no evidence that bras cause breast cancer.

Myth - Using underarm antiperspirant can contribute to developing breast cancer.

Fact- There is no evidence of a connection between underarm antiperspirant and breast cancer, but the safety of antiperspirants is still being studied.

Answering up to three questions correctly allowed participants to choose between bamboo cutlery sets, metal straws or toothbrushes.

Answering four questions correctly won them a reusable bag and if they got all five questions correct, they had a choice to enter in a drawing for a hydro flask or pick

RLA event lets students design popular phone accessory u By Mackenzie Dahlberg Reporter

RLA hosted an evening crafting event on Saturday. Upon signing in, attendants received blank white pop sockets, a popular accessery that helps with carrying and holding smart phones.

Students were able to arrive whenever they wanted between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. to decorate their own pop sockets. Snacks were available to enjoy and small prizes were randomly handed out. Students could sit at any table placed in the middle of the Hub.Supplies like paint were available for partic-

ipants to design a pop socket.

Due to the event following the volleyball match, there was not a large crowd of students all at once, but a comfortable flow that allowed table space for each person.

With paint, stickers and glitter at every table, students were not limited by any means. They could express themselves in numerous ways.

Music softly played in the background in order to not distract the attendants from desigining their pop sockets. The music kept a flow of rhytm as the room wasn’t completely silent. It was a nice way of relaxing for students who starting the second half of the semester.

RLA staff from Edna hosted “Falleyball”, drawing 45 students to the Edna complex Friday evening for a night of volleyball and fall celebration.

According to Alexis Heller, 19, sophomore of Wisner, “Falleyball” is a good opportunity for students to create a fall snack and play volleyball with students possibly meet new friends.

Warm, melted caramel and chocolate paired with peanuts and crushed pretzels were offered to students along with an apple on a stick. Sancks were paired with warm apple cider and hot chocolate.

“I like the opportunity to do activities with friends,” Madisen Grenstiner, 20, sophomore of Wasta, South Dakota, said.

The event gave students a chance to experience the last days of fall by playing sand volleyball, ladder ball, bean bag toss and enjoying treats.

Gamers unite for Pit video game tournament u By Mercy Maunu Reporter

On Thursday night The Pit hosted an unique event for all gamers to come together and play a few rounds of football, basketball, or other combat fighting video games.

Different TV sets were available around the room for people to play or just watch the excitement. There were also a couple of board and card games. A big projector screen was displaying a game on the wall for people to watch and root for players.

Sign up was at 6 p.m. at the Scottsbluff room. Games began at 7 p.m. and lasted until about 10 p.m. Around 38 students signed up, but The Pit workers were sure there were more people who participated in and did not sign in.

Nick Foote, 20, sophomore of Scottsbluff said they prepared for about 50 people to attend, but with the midterm break, they were not able to spread the word to everyone as much as they would have liked.

However, that was not stopping them from still planning and setting up this event.

“It’s an annual event, and I’m just lucky enough to be a part of it,” Foote said.

Complimentary drinks, mini sandwiches and other snacks were provided by co-sponsor, Omega Phi Rho. Prizes were also given out to the winners.

The Pit will continue their weekly events with a soccer tournament tonight at the NPAC. Sign-ups will be from 6:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Five players are needed for each team.

Eagles win battle of the birds u By Brandon Davenport Sports Editor

After allowing the University of Texas Permian Basin Falcons back into the game in the third quarter, Saturday, the Chadron State Eagles locked the game down in the fourth, holding the Falcons pointless while scoring three touchdowns to win 4321 at home.

The win was the Eagles’ second straight and moved the team to 3-4 this season. Permian fell to 2-5. It was

their fifth consecutive loss.

“In the third quarter we had a bit of a lull, but were able to finish it in the fourth quarter, put a nail in the coffin, and walk away with a win,” CSC Head Football Coach Jay Long said.

Leading just 27-21 with 11:47 left in the game, the Eagles’ Cole Thurness fielded a Permian punt in Falcon territory and took the ball 42 yards into the end zone, extending Chadron’s lead to 33-21 and kick starting the team’s fourth-quarter dominance.

Permian’s next drive ended on second and 10 when Eagle safety Tyree Fryar, senior of Burlington, New Jer-

sey, intercepted a pass from Falcon quarterback Kameron Mathis, and returned the ball 30 yards to the Permian 18-yard line. Though the Falcons held the Eagles to fourth and goal at the 9-yard line, Chadron kicker Colton Dolder, freshman of Santa Clarita, California, hit his third field goal of the game to put the Eagles ahead 36-21.

The Eagles hammered in the final nail when running back Elijah Myles, sophomore of Hawthorne, California, broke free for a 42-yard TD run on second and seven to make it 43-21 with about three minutes remaining.

“Going into the game our goal was

to put four full quarters together and we came out in that first half and dominated both lines of scrimmage,” Long said. “I thought that in the first two quarters we executed our game plan on both sides of the ball about as well as we could.”

But following halftime the Falcons made adjustments that helped them outscore the Eagles 14-0 in the third quarter.

“Football is a game of chess,” Long said. “One team reacts and the other

Leading 6-0, Chadron’s Dalton Holst neatly dropped a pass over a Falcon defender and into the arms of receiver Tevon Wright, senior of Miami, who was nearing the south corner of the west end zone. The touchdown put the team up 13-0.

In the second, Holst hit Thurness for a 24-yard score with about 10 minutes left in the half to make it 20-0. Holst then found receiver Chad Mikelson for a 25-yard TD, making it 27-0 with just under five minutes remaining in the second.

The Chadron offense netted 484 total yards, 256 through the air and another 228 on the ground. Holst completed 15 of 31 passes, had three passing TDs and was intercepted once.

The Eagle receivers were led by Thurness who had 81 yards and a touchdown on three catches, including a long of 48 yards.

Eagle V-ball hits the road after home split u By Zachary Carlson Sports Reporter

After splitting two home matches last weekend, the eagles hit the road for the next two weeks beginning with matches against New Mexico Highlands University in Las Vegas, New Mexico, then on to CSU Pueblo in Pueblo, Colorado.

CSC will look to gain momentum back after the Dixie State University Trailblazers interrupted the Eagles’ three-game win streak on Saturday.

“We’ve got two weekends where we’re on the road, so we’ve really got to get a little more resilient. We’ve got to continue to minimize our errors and continue to get better swings out of system balls,” Head Coach Jennifer Stadler said after the Dixie State University match on Saturday.

Friday’s match with Westminster was Chadron’s fourth straight five-set contest and their third consecutive win. It marked the third time this season the Eagles have won three consecutive matches.

Something they had done only once in the previous seven seasons.

The Chadron State Eagles pulled off a thriller on Friday night defeating the Griffins in five sets, but fell in four sets to Dixie State, Saturday.

After the split of home matches the Eagles’ record sits at 12-6 overall and 6-4 in the conference. The Eagles defeated the Griffins 25-19, 25-22, 25-17, 25-19, and 16-14.

On Saturday, the Eagles won the first set and the Trailblazers took the rest. The scores were 25-17, 25-17, 25-23, and 25-18.

“I thought we played really resilient (Friday).

Westminster did a really good job, I thought, throughout the entire night, but I thought our girls just continued to stay in it. They kept their head and continued to stay aggressive,” Stadler said after the game against the Griffins.

After Westminster forced a fifth set, the Eagles jumped out to a 5-0 lead. The Griffins fought back to tie it 5-5, and from then on, no team trailed by more than two points. Tied 1414, a pair of attack errors by Westminster junior outside hitter Audrey Green, of Salt Lake City, Utah, gave the Eagles a 16-14 set and match

win.

Stadler said Chandler Hageman, junior of Chadron stood out on Friday. “She did a really good job at the net (Friday), both blocking and attacking. She was really aggressive throughout all five sets.”

Hageman finished the match with 16 kills and six blocks. She hit a .389. Saturday, she led the team with nine kills and seven blocks while hitting a .286. She is currently sitting first in the RMAC with 1.27 blocks per set and 14 th in the nation, according to CSC Athletics.

Three more Eagles had double-digit kills on Friday. Shelby Schouten, senior of Alton, Iowa, had 13 kills, Rylee Greiman, of Windsor, Colorado, had 12, and Timmi Kiesel, of Fleming, Colorado, had 11. Tori Strickbine, freshman of Stillwell, Kansas, had 37 assists along with 20 digs.

Defensively the Eagles had five players with double-digit digs, led by Ashton Burditt, senior of Spearfish, South Dakota, who had 35, Greiman had 25, Karli Noble, of Cheyenne, Wyoming, had 23, and Kincaid Strain, sophomore of Elk River, Minnesota, had 12. Burditt’s 6.25

digs per set currently leads the RMAC and is fifth in the nation in the category, according to CSC athletics. Trailing Hageman in blocks was Schouten with five and Keisel with two.

Saturday the Eagles battled to push a fifth set, rallying to tie the fourth set 10-10 after Dixie had started 7-0. The eagles took a 14-13 lead, but a four-point streak from Dixie made it 1714 in the Trailblazers favor. Dixie never trailed from there and took the set and match 25-18.

“We talked about how they have a lot of really good hitters and that we’ve got to put up a solid block to try to slow their offense down,” Stadler said after the match on Saturday.

Kill leaders for the match were Hageman with nine, Amelia Berg, sophomore of Fort Collins, Colorado, with eight, and Greiman with seven. Strickbine had 23 assists and 11 digs.

Defensively the Eagles had five players with double-digit digs led by Burditt with 22, Greiman had 14, Noble had 12, and Strain had 10. Blocking was led by Hageman with seven, Kassidy Nelson, of Mountain View, Wyoming, had four, and Berg had three.

Eagle wrestlers kick off season on outdoor mats u By Tatum Miller Sports Reporter

The wrestling team held their second outdoor public practice on Saturday at 10 a.m. The cool fall morning attracted friends, family, and other Eagle fans to gather outside the Chicoine Center to watch the wrestlers practice and get a preview of what to expect this season.

Head coach, Brett Hunter said he began the public practice last year because the college was looking for a way to get the community more involved in the wrestling program. He got the idea from an NCAA Division 1 school and with the help of the administration made it happen here in Chadron.

Hunter says this season’s roster of wrestlers is going to be very successful.

Speaking during the event he talked about how he has seen great chemistry and work ethic from this group, something he hasn’t been able to say about every group he has coached.

Seniors, Chase Clasen (149) and Wade French (197)

are both returning national qualifiers and Hunter says he is ready for the group to win and add to CSC’s list of national qualifiers.

This year’s newest addition to the coaching staff, Aspen Naylor of Salt Lake City, Utah, was excited to show what this team can do. Fresh out of Chadron State and its wrestling program, Naylor is excited to be on the coaching end of the sport. “I didn’t know if the guys would respect me as much (as a coach) since I was just with them on the team, but it has been a pretty smooth transition and I am having a lot of fun coaching these guys. I’m excited to watch my old teammates win some national titles, I know what they’re capable of,” Naylor said.

There are five seniors ready to make the most of their last season.
