When directed, Kris Boardman, associate director of housing at Chadron State, walked from his seat on the floor of the Scottsbluff room, Monday, to the far corner where he loaded a single plate with plain white rice
and took a small glass of water. Not much more than 20 feet away, Chadron resident Judd Hageman had a different dinner experience. Hageman sat at a well-appointed table; his meal - chicken cordon bleu and a salad, with chocolate cake for desert was served to him by CSC food services staff. Hageman and Boardman were one of several guests attending Monday’s Ox-
fam Hunger Banquet hosted by CSC’s Event Planning and Leadership class. Upon arriving, guests were separated into three classes: low, middle and high. Each class was offered a different dining experience based on their class and listened and discussed issues of poverty and food insecurity.

CAB looks to fill 3 vacated executive board seats By Aubrie Lawrence News Editor
The CAB executive board will be left barren next week with the resignation of two of its members, Vice Chair of Records Christopher Wright and Vice Chair of Public Relations Aydin Garvin, and the graduation of the Chair of CAB Travis Mills. Mills’ position is planned to be filled by current Vice Chair of Programming Sadie Sheppard, which will leave her position vacant as well. CAB will nominate members to fill
these empty positions at next week’s meeting. “If any of you guys think that either of those positions is something you’d like to do, you are welcome to come talk to us about it. Once you know what you’re doing it’s really not a whole lot of work,” Mills said. At this week’s meeting Student Trustee Samuel Klammer stated that the NSCS Board approved the changes to Board Policy 3300 at the November board meeting at Wayne State College last Friday. These changes allow for clubs to travel without their advisor when staying overnight.
However, it is still at the discretion of the school whether an advisor is needed for the trip. In other business: > Starting next semester, The Eagle Exchange will be available to students on the second floor of Kent Hall. Here, students can exchange clothes that they no longer wear and select new clothes from what is brought in from other students. > There will be a pool party in the Chadron Area Aquatics and Wellness Center on Friday as a part of wellness week.
> Free movie night is this Sunday at the Eagle Theater. > There will be a writing workshop at Just Love Coffee Café at 6 p.m. on Dec. 3 for students who want to improve their writing or need help writing papers for class. > The Pit will be hosting a banana split night and ping pong tournament tonight. Banana splits will be served at 6 p.m. and the tournament will start at 6:30 p.m. > CAB has spent $31,237.58 of the total $105,134.98 allocated to it. There is still $74,097.48 left unspent.
Peer mentor program shows promise for the future By Aubrie Lawrence News Editor
This year, 180 randomized freshmen were enrolled in the pilot program of peer mentoring program. These students were assigned a mentor based on their major and different areas of interests. Stu-
dent Activities Coordinator Megan Northrup stated that 30 percent actively participated in the program. In the group that has participated, 91 percent of the students are planning on coming back to school for the spring semester. “That’s really a great great number and we have some really great
mentors in here. I see smiling so I’m glad that it kind of helped you to know how much of an impact you guys really did make,” Northrup said. Next year, Northrup plans on starting all freshman out with a mentor and expanding the program even more. AFB allocated $800 to senate
to purchase graduation cords and stolls for students graduating in December that have participated in student government. In other business: > 29 students participated in the E-sports survey that took place in the Student Center on Monday. The NPAC committee will now begin
to look at those students’ opinions and formulate a plan to create an E-sports team. > Poet Sarah Green will be reading her work in the Mari Sandoz Center at 7 p.m. Thursday. > Senate has $21,363.05 in total unallocated funds and $13,799.56 unspent in trip funds.

“It really opens your eyes to what’s happening in the real world,” Boardman said. “You never really know at the time when you’re sitting eating a five-course meal that someone else is eating an ounce of rice.” About 40 million people live in poverty in the United States and 15 million suffer from food insecurity according to the U.S Department of Agriculture. Monday’s experience was meant to simulate the disparity in food security experienced by Americans and educate guests on the issue. The event featured speakers Erin Norman, assistant professor of applied sciences, and Karen Eisenbarth, chief executive officer at Northwest Community Action Partnerships. Both spoke on the challenges of hunger both at the national and local level. Katelyn Lambert, one of two masters of ceremonies, expressed the need for introspection. “I hope that people got a better understanding on what happens nationally and locally when it comes to food insecurity.” Lambert said. “People take for granted the kinds of luxuries they have that others don’t - things like getting two or three meals a day.”

Opening the books: ledger art featured at Sandoz Center u By Brandon Davenport Sports Editor
Photos by Brandon Davenport
Three paintings by Joe Pulliam, Artist-in-Residence, are among the display at the Mari Sandoz Center now through Dec. 13.
During the late 19th century and early 20th, the Plains Indians gained a new medium for their art as they obtained or captured ledger books used by white men to keep inventory or account for profits. The paper and bound books gave the tribes a new way to record their history; the artists often drawing depictions of battle directly over written information in the books. One of those artists, Oglala Lakota Amos Bad Heart Bull, inspired modern Oglala Lakota artist Joe Pulliam to take up the medium. Through Dec. 13, both artists’ work can be found displayed at the Mari Sandoz High Plains Heritage Center as part of its “Native American Legacies” exhibit. Along with the work of Bad Heart Bull and Pulliam are
honor quilts on loan from The Business Connections’ Roxy Puchner and a red dress from the Red Ribbon Skirt Society of the Black Hills that honors indigenous women who are missing, victims of assault, or victims of violent death since settler colonialism. Pulliam, or Akicita Tokahe as he’s known in Lakota, is the Center’s current Artist-in-Residence will be in Chadron through Friday afternoon. Born in Rushville and currently living in the Pine Ridge Reservation of South Dakota, Pulliam still uses ledger books from the 1800s as a medium for his art, though he’s not limited to it. Pulliam said it was an honor to be featured along with Bad Heart Bull and associated with Sandoz who was able to document Native history during her years in the area. The artist, a U.S. Army veteran, said he creates his art in hope of helping his people regain their identity and to facilitate healing for Natives and all Americans.

Chadron State volleyball’s season came to an end Saturday, just one win shy of qualifying for the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference tournament. Their two final matches, played Friday and Saturday at the Chicoine Center, both ended in straight sets losses to Metropolitan State University of Denver which entered the postseason as the number two seed in the conference. CSC failed to score over 20 points in any set during the matches. “I think they’re disappointed for sure,” CSC Head Volleyball Coach Jennifer Stadler said outside of the Eagles’ locker room, Saturday. “I know the group wanted to make the tournament – that was kind of a goal we set at the beginning of the season. But I think they’ve got to feel proud of what they’ve done this year.” The Eagles may have ended the season just short of their goal, but in doing so they earned a 14-12 overall record. It is the first time CSC volleyball has had a winning record since 2003 when the team went 17-11 and 9-10 in the RMAC. It was also the last time the team qualified for the post-season tournament. “This team in general did a real good job of fighting all year,” Stadler said. “From the first day they stepped foot in practice they had this sense that they wanted to be better and get better, and they kept coming in with that same intensity and energy.” Only twice this season did the team lose more than two games con-
secutively, and twice they earned a three-game win streak. Four of their losses came in the fifth set, including their match against the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs Cougars – the match that ultimately kept the Eagles out of the conference tournament after the two teams tied with an 8-10 RMAC record to end the season. This weekend marked the final matches for CSC senior libero Ashton Burditt who Tuesday was named Co-Defensive Player of the Year by the RMAC and earned her way to the conferences All-RMAC Second Team. She holds CSC records for the most digs in three, four and five set matches. Saturday, Burditt gave some credit for her successful season to first-year coach Stadler. “She’s very relaxed and very confident,” Burditt said. “She makes you feel confident in the way you play. The last couple of years I grinded and I worked and that’s where I got that base for my talent. Then this last year was just having someone behind me that trusted what I was doing and trusted what the team was doing. She was a big confidence booster. Burditt said she’s excited to see where the Eagles’ program goes in the future. “We five seniors set a good standard and good ground work and legacy,” Burditt said. “It would be kind of heartbreaking to see the girls we played with let that go. I don’t think they have the heart to let it go.”
