Frankenstein 200! Symposium

Sports Editor The 200th anniversary of Mary Shelley’s novel “Frankenstein” is on Feb. 26. To celebrate the anniversary, the University of South Dakota is hosting a “Frankenstein 200! Symposium,” to commemorate the novel and its influence on Western culture. The symposium will take place on Feb. 26 and 27, and all of the events are free and open to the public.

The symposium features Joel Pace, a professor at the University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire. He is an expert on British literature and transatlantic romanticism.

Events include a community art show and a ghost story writing contest. To register for the event go to the University of South Dakota website, click the Frankenstein 200! tab and then click register.

CSC student hosts International Luncheon The Chadron State College International Office is hosting an international luncheon today from noon to 1 p.m. in the Scottsbluff Room of the Student Center.

Students are invited to come enjoy cuisine and cultural discussions hosted by international student Anas Haddadi from Morocco. The luncheon is open to the public. Students can use their meal plans, the cost for community members is $7.60, and the cost for CSC employees is $5.70.

CAB Treasurer Tierra Snyder, and Vice Chair of Finance Lukas Klueber, led the 2018 AFB Budget workshop. In addition to discussing how to fill out the budget packet clubs need to fill out in order to receive funds, new changes for club fund procedures were also discussed.

One change that was mentioned in the meeting for clubs, was that each club can only buy one article of clothing for their members. The only way a club can purchase more than one is if the articles of clothing are for members of the campus community. The example given is that The Nest gives out t-shirts and other swag to students not involved in The Nest at sporting events.

Klueber mentioned that field trip requests must be sent at least two academic months in advance. The reasoning for the time frame is that trips have to be approved

14th annual Black Tie Calf Fry Torri Brumbaugh Managing Editor

The CSC Rodeo Team’s annual Black Tie Calf Fry will be held at 6 p.m. on Saturday in the Student Center.

The Black Tie Calf Fry is a fundraiser for the CSC Rodeo Team that is in its 14th year. The event raises money through tickets purchased to enter the event and silent and live auctions. The auctions will include western decor items, handmade leather goods and western art pieces, Tena Cook, marketing coordinator, said in her press release, Monday.

Those who purchase a ticket will be

treated to a dinner of roast beef and “calf fries.” Tickets are $15 if purchased beforehand and $20 purchased at the door.

All proceeds will go towards the rodeo team’s travel, equipment, livestock and other expenses.

“Without the community and their support of our western heritage, [we] would cease to exist. Their support is humbling,” Dustin Luper, CSC rodeo coach, said.

Guests will be entertained throughout the night by live music and a guest speaker, Marvin Garrett, a four-time world bareback champion.

Those looking to purchase a ticket for Saturday’s event can contact a member of the rodeo team or contacting Luper at 309432-6286.

R. B. Smith of Broken Bow, father of CSC student Zane Smith, recites his poetry at the Black Tie Calf Fry on Saturday, Feb. 8, 2014.

Winner of the Obie Award, this is a wonderfully feminist play about a tough topic. “If Ms. Ensler is the messiah heralding the second wave of feminism, and a lot of people think she is, it is partly because she’s a brilliant comedian…The audience…was overwhelmingly adoring.”

—NY Times.

Memorial Hall Black Box Theatre SHOW DATES: Feb. 22-23-24, at 7:30 P.M. Feb. 25 at 2 P.M.

“The most exhilarating part is, no kidding, her extremely virtuosic way with a series of orgasmic moans…Ensler, a writer-performer with a goodnatured but seriously evangelical mission about this body part, must be enjoying her success in getting the word out on such a legendarily unmentionable, mythologized and misunderstood fact of life…”

—NY Newsday.

“It makes for quite a party. Funny, outrageous, emotionally affecting, and occasionally angry…THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES confront words to demystify and disarm them. In so doing, Ensler disarms the audience too.”

—Associated Press.

How could a young man whose lawyers say has been “experiencing and enduring mental illness his entire life” purchase a semiautomatic rifle? The answer seems to be, legally.

Gun control laws have been one of the hottest debates in American in the past few years. Shootings in general, not just at schools, are happening every day (20 have threatened school shootings since the Florida shooting on Valentine’s Day, according to CNN), and there’s no one perfect solution to prevent it all. For example, making guns illegal will just cause criminals to get ahold of them and law-abiding citizens to not have them in defense of the criminal shooter.

There has been enough talk about solutions to gun violence; it’s time to take some action.

The problem doesn’t lie simply within a mental health spectrum; however, people change over time. Therefore, why shouldn’t owners of firearms have to undergo regular and routine mental health examinations and screenings?

If, by chance Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooter, 19-yearold Nikolas Cruz was more mentally stable at the purchase of his AR-15 that resulted in the lives of 17 people, what

happened over the span of a year that changed that? Could this whole thing have been prevented if he had undergone a routine mental health evaluation a month or two prior? If our drivers licenses have to be renewed regularly, why shouldn’t gun owners have to renew their license?

According to CNN, Paul Ryan stated at the news conference Thursday reacting to the shooting, “As you know, mental health is often a big problem underlying these tragedies. We have a system to prevent people who aren’t supposed to get guns from getting guns, and if there are gaps there then we need to look at these gaps.”

Perhaps gaps can be found where, though licensed gun dealers are required under federal law to run all potential firearm buyers through a criminal background check system, the federal law doesn’t require states to make mental health records part of the background check system.

At what age can someone, and frankly should someone, purchase a gun? In Florida, the age of 18 is when someone can legally purchase a long gun. If the argument behind the legal drinking age being 21 is the maturity and develop-

MAN ON THE STREET

we asked:

ment of the brain, why isn’t that something of consideration when purchasing a deadly weapon? And as a matter of fact, in other states such as Minnesota and Massachusetts, long guns may be purchased at as young as 15 or 16 years old.

But what can we do here at Chadron State? We can all be there for one another and have each other’s backs.

When watching interviews of a lot of the students at Majory Stoneman Douglas High School, a lot of them weren’t surprised with the occurrence, and that’s heartbreaking. It’s important to speak up when someone is making you suspicious. The shooters social media presence had been disturbing in the recent months.

If there’s ever a cause for worry, don’t be afraid to speak up. The potential to hurt someone’s feelings in the long run is worth the potential saving of lives, in this case, 17 lives. Watching the interview with one of the shooters good friends, he stated that he felt he could have prevented the shooting.

No one should have to live with that feeling for the rest of their lives. This proves that you should never be afraid to speak up and voice your concern.

OPINION

On the

yourself a break Bright Side Give during midterms Rachel Mitchell Columnist Midterms have creeped back into the year already. I’m not particularly happy about it. I tend to get stressed out when it comes to big assignments and essays. Every time midterms or finals come around, I try to find things that will relieve my stress and make me more productive when I get back to working on the assignments. Here are some “Rachel-Approved” activities.

The first activity I recommend is to play with puppies. You simply can’t be stressed when playing with puppies. If you do not have a puppy, message a friend that has one and ask politely. Also, I would like to note that all dogs are puppies. All puppies deserve to have some playtime and

wwbelly rubs.

Now, in the unfortunate event that you do not have puppy nor do any of your friends, eat some dark chocolate. Eating dark chocolate, which is over 70% cocoa, fights the stress hormone cortisol and has an overall relaxing effect on the body.

Plus, chocolate releases endorphins which act as a natural stress fighter.

So it’s really a win-win.

Another way to relieve some stress from assignments is planning some breaks outside of the library or your room. If you tell yourself to work really hard for a period of time and reward yourself with a break, you may just get a little more work done. Look to see if there are any sporting events going on and plan those into your schedule, or maybe RLA is putting on an event you want to go to. Schedule it in. Make dinner plans with your friends. You guessed it, schedule it in. I find I get much more done if I give myself a set time to get some work done then reward myself with something fun.

One last thing you can do for yourself during this stressful time is to not go overboard on the caffeine and try water or tea! I know far too often that many people drink tons

Body image is a matter of health Yen Nguyen Reporter I grew up in Vietnam, an Asian country that in my view, pays way too much attention to how we look. I woke up every day wondering how I was going to look that day and what I should do to look good.

In my high school, we wore uniforms all the time, so dressing up was unnecessary. The schools in Vietnam tried to minimize the difference among students’ appearances by wearing uniforms. However, we still try to look nice every day even with the same outfit all the time.

Dressing nicely to show the best of myself every day seems like an impossible task sometimes, but it keeps

popping in my head once in a while.

When I show up to class without lipstick, I see myself funny. One time a friend told me to put some lipstick on since I looked like a corpse. It was a joke, and I found it funny then, but it still put more pressure on me to appear nice next time.

I had a friend in high school who had a nice, curvy body, but she hated her body so much. She tried so hard to lose weight. She was afraid to wear her favorite clothes that showed her curves. In her eyes, the only thing she saw was her fat. She used to have only one meal per day to lose weight. It wore her out and she looked pale and tired all the time.

I wondered if body image was that important. The stories of me and my

friend represent positive and negative views about body image. Is how we see ourselves the same as the way people see us? Not all the time. We are bombarded with commercials every day portraying perfect bodies thanks to social media.

The models always appear to have lean bodies and beautiful faces. Photoshop glamourizes their image to make us jealous. I usually take a moment to reflect myself whenever I see those.

So should we care about it? The answer is yes and no. Yes, if that gives you the motivation to work out, be healthy and care about your health. No, if it makes you doubt yourself and degrade yourself. Please, don’t let body image issues haunt you. Listen to your own body and adjust to satisfy your body, not your mind.

of energy drinks or coffee near or on exam day. You can actually have withdrawal symptoms if you’ve been chugging three monsters every day for the last week. So be considerate for yourself and your body and try some herbal teas that have small amounts of caffeine. Try putting lemons or strawberries in your water. It isn’t just a good way to hydrate, but it also tastes delicious. This is extremely beneficial for your body and mind when it comes to concentrating and avoiding the side effects of caffeine.

I hope that this midterm time is not too terribly stressful and maybe you’ll get the chance to play with a puppy or two. Remember to try your best. Have faith in yourself. Good luck my friends!

A Message of E

“The Vagina Monologues” perform different emotions, speaks on var Kylee Odenbach, Krystal Wilson & Katelyn Lambert Contributors The Chadron State College Theatre Department tackles a topic that has gained widespread attention in the past months: sexual assault.

Eve Ensler’s play, “The Vagina Monologues,” is based around monologues that she wrote after conducting over 200 interviews with women about their sexuality. The monologue topics range from abuse, frustration, self-discovery, and liberation.

“In ‘The Vagina Monologues’, just about every emotion is experienced,” CSC Theatre student Jennaya Hill, 19, a sophomore of Gordon said. “Personally, in my monologue, the emotions ranged from fear anxiety, happiness, love, anger, and self-discovery.”

The play raises awareness of sexual violence against women and girls. In the monologue, “Not so Happy Fact,” Kaitlynn Hessler, freshman of Mitchell, shed light on just how serious genital mutilation is in many countries. Jessica Lotierzo, sophomore of Las Vegas, performed a monologue titled “My Vagina was my Village,” the recollection of a woman who had been mutilated and sexually abused.

“Watching these monologues is a true emotional rollercoaster for the audience,” Hill said.

“The Vagina Monologues” is in conjunction with V-Day, which is a global activist movement aimed at stopping violence, from rape to sexual slavery, against all females, including transgender and gender non-conforming.

While the topic of the play may make some uncomfortable, the message of change and empowerment are accompanied by the powerful performances of a female dominated cast, that make this production worth the watch.

The CSC Theatre students – including Johanna Goff, freshmen of Rapid City, South Dakota; Autumn Hartwig, freshman of Dalton; Brittney Peters, sophomore of Rapid City, South Dakota; Alyssa Jensen, freshman of Whitewood, South Dakota and nine other young women - take on different monologues throughout the play. Many emotions are apparent within the monologues including: sadness, anger, love, humor, humiliation, etc. The students began working on this play Jan. 8.

“I hope the audience leaves understanding the struggles that women face all over the world, but also that this is about every gender and the equality everyone deserves,” Hill said. “I hope that anyone who attends the play leaves feeling empowered.”

“The Vagina Monologues” will be performed at 7:30 p.m. tonight, tomorrow, and Saturday, and at 2 p.m. on Sunday in the Memorial Hall Black Box Theatre.

The CSC Theatre Program will be conducting auditions for the next upcoming play, “Steel Magnolias,” on Tuesday, Feb. 27, 2018.

Growing up in Hot Springs, South Dakota, Northrup developed an appreciation for small-town atmospheres and dislike of traffic.

Participating in football, track and basketball in high school, Northrup didn’t discover his preference for track until college.

Northrup was a student athlete at Chadron State College, and graduated in 2010 with a degree in Secondary Education.

After graduating at CSC, Northrup substitute taught and coached in Glenrock, Wyoming. After living in Wyoming, he took a year off to work on the railroad.

Following the short break, Northrup attended grad school at Augustana University in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Starting at CSC in August 2017, Northrup’s goals for this season are to get to know the athletes on campus and set foundations for future seasons, in addition to helping student athletes improve.

“I may not appear that much older than some of the people on the team, so some people may be thinking ‘this is a young guy, what does he know?,’ but I’ve gone through some progressions and experiences that have given me the experience to help others get better,” Northrup said.

One thing Northrup has learned from coaching at CSC is that recruiting in Chadron is a lot different than recruiting in a larger populated area, such as Ohio.

Jud Logan, a four-time Olympian and current Head Track and Field Coach at Ashland University in Ashland, Ohio, served as a mentor to Northrup. Northrup recalled that even though Logan specialized in weight throw and Northrup was a jumper, Logan knew so much about the sport that Northrup’s performance and knowledge significantly increased.

Advice Northrup would give to those who are looking to become coaches in the future, is that experience is the main thing that can help develop someone as an athlete and as a person.

For future seasons, Northrup wants to involve his team in more community outreach projects.

“The college and residents of Chadron are very dependent on each other in one way or another,” Northrup said.

Northrup wants to develop a connection between the CSC Track and Field team and the local elementary, middle and high schools. of the

MTNA Chapter President Kallie Bush, 20, junior of Kimball, said the main purpose of the recital was to earn money to pay for travel to this year’s national MTNA conference.

MTNA sends students to the annual conferences to network with other music teachers and strengthen their teaching abilities through workshops and speakers.

Due to budget cuts, MTNA is

not able to send as many students to this year’s Florida conference.

As a result, MTNA held Friday’s concert in an effort to raise the funds necessary for travel.

MTNA currently has 10 members, and the club plans on having more events on campus throughout the year, including more concerts. ”Another reason [for the concert] is we like to get our name out there and have more people involved with MTNA,” Bush said.

Although the event only drew a modest audience, MTNA garnered donations that will aid in getting the members to the national conference in Orlando later this year.

The music department’s next event will be Brooks Hafey’s faculty recital on Monday at Memorial Hall. The recital is free and open to the public.

Planting Pancakes

Palooza

RLA promotes new life at the Planting and Pancakes Palooza Nalani Stewart News Editor Students planted new roots and enjoyed pancakes on the CSC campus when the Resident Life Association hosted the Planting and Pancake Palooza in The Hub at 9 p.m., last Friday.

“I expected about 45 people to come, and so far we have 42,” Mariah Nelson, assistant director of Residence Life, said.

“I am very thankful for all the help that I get from the RA’s.”

Students filled plastic cups with soil and planted their own seeds while they ate pancakes cooked by RLA.

“Jazz, the AD last year, did the planting, and I thought people would like pancakes so I just combined the two,” Nelson said.

“I came for the pancakes,” Shawna Turner, 19, freshman of Rapid City, South Dakota, said. “I wish that in the future we could decorate the pots, but I got some cilantro. And, I would come to an event like this again.”

Those who attended the program choose from different vegetables, flowers and herbs, and students choose from various toppings to put on their pancakes.

“I was expecting more out of this, but it’s chill. I just came to enjoy the pancakes, and I guess that I got some wildflowers too,” Taylor Hiett, 19, freshman of Benkelman, said.

“I like plants and pancakes,” Caitlin Gustafson, 21,

junior of Seward, said.

“I came because of the plants, but it was a double whammy because I like pancakes too,” Melissa VanDerslice, 22, senior of Columbus, said.

“I would come again for the pancakes,” Jamie Sigel, 22, senior of Sundance, Wyoming, said.

The Planting & Pancake program was deemed successful by Nelson and the students who attended the event.

The next RLA event is Silent Library on Saturday.
