Senate allocates $6,000, postpones 2 others requests Jordyn Hulinsky Managing Editor Senate allocated $6,133 and postponed two allocations until the full budget from the second eightweeks is added to Senate’s budget.

The first allocation was for $175 to the MTNA club for a trip to Baltimore. The club originally requested $925 for registration and food.

The registration for the event is $35 per person.

AFB decided to cut $750 for food, which will be enforced for all clubs.

AFB said they will not allocate money for food on trips for any club. AFB wants to promote fundraising and ask clubs to fundraise for money to cover the cost of food if the club does not want to make the members pay for the food themselves.

Senate allocated $5,253 for the PBL club for a trip to California for a conference competition. The club originally asked for $9,111. The club will use money for hotels, $3,070; gas, $300; parking, $128, and registration, $1,755. AFB cut funding for food and a van rental. The van rental was cut because AFB does not fund plane tickets, and AFB decided that the van rental was the equivalent of the plane tickets for this trip.

There was discussion about having a cap for lodging for clubs in the future, but no decision was made.

There were concerns that clubs would use the full amount if there

were a cap set in place, rather than trying to find cheaper hotel rooms.

There were also concerns that having a cap would hinder clubs from taking more members on trips.

The third allocation was $675 for 15 desk chairs at $44.99 each to replace the chairs in the Student Center around the computer desks.

Senate allocated $30 to paint the lids of the recycling bins to differentiate them from trash cans.

Spring Daze again presented its budget but Senate will wait to vote on the allocation until the money from the second eight-week classes comes in so Senate knows its full budget. The total Spring Daze budget is $37,000 with breakdowns for inflatables, $12,850; petting zoo, $8,000; free handouts, $4,424.28; pool party, $800; clubs, $2,500; Mr. & Mrs. Spring Daze, $500; wristbands, $20; contingency $800; decorations, $500; booth prizes, $500; and food truck, $5,000.

Senate is still considering allocating $10,000 for the Chadron Area Aquatics and Wellness Center but will wait on allocating until the money from the second eight-week classes comes in so Senate knows its full budget.

Vice Mayor of Chadron and pool representative Miles Bannan attended the Senate meeting to answer questions about the allocation. The pool is finished and is open. The pool committee came to Senate asking for a $20,000 alloca-

“I’ll be honest with ya, I’m not all the way sure they saw that as being especially offensive,” Beu said.

“I tried to convey to them how it might be perceived by someone, and I got the impression that they don’t intentionally want to offend.

But I’m not all too sure; their perception was if they want to move to another seat, they can certainly do that. My hope is that they know there is a sensitivity to address in the future.”

The senators approved continuing using the Guidebook App for the calendar of events. After discussion of changing to the Mobile Up App for three weeks at Senate meetings and the open forums, senators agreed that the Guidebook App has all the features Senate would like to see on the app.

When the app was first instituted, Senate paid for part of the app, but not the full cost, and it is expected that Senate would not have to pay the full price again, Adviser Deena Kennell said.

Vice President of Finance Lukas Klueber reported that Senate has $42,455.08 in unallocated funds and $491.92 in Senate’s office-campus account.

Michael Steube was approved as the solicitor general. The solicitor general will help navigate through court procedures. He will remain an at large senator.

President Trumps rescinds transgender order Recently, President Donald Trump and his administration rescinded an executive order put in place by former President Barack Obama and his administration in May 2016, which protected transgender students in their schools. The executive order made it possible for transgender students in public institutions to choose which bathrooms and facilities correspond with their gender identities.

Former President Obama put his order into action during a legal battle with the state of North Carolina which passed a “bathroom bill,” that required people to use bathrooms based on their biological sex.

To show solidarity with the Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, and Transgender community or LGBT community for short, the White House opened a bathroom that was described as the “all-gender” bathroom.

Former Attorney Loretta Lynch went on record saying, “There is no room in our schools for discrimination of any kind, including discrimination against transgender students on the basis of their sex.”

Now, President Trump has taken that order away, sending transgender students back to the bathrooms that match their biological gender identities.

The Trump administration sent out its first “Dear Colleague” letter which swiftly put an end to the executive order that former President Obama put into place and did not try to appease both sides.

MAN ON THE STREET

we asked:

Many believe this new order put in place has an anti-LGBT undertone to it, even though President Trump and Secretary of Education Betsy Devos promised to protect and uphold the values of the LGBT community.

However, CSC, Peru State College, Peru and Wayne State College, Wayne, have orders from Nebraska State College System Chancellor Stan Carpenter to continue following the policies that have already been put in place for the NSCS. Chancellor Carpenter also made it clear that any discrimination or unlawful harassment is strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated. In closing, he encouraged any student who may feel discriminated against because of sexual orientation or gender identity to talk the Title IX coordinator on campus so the matter can be handled correctly.

What Chancellor Carpenter did was brave and should be respected by all students and faculty because it shows that he wants all students on campus to feel welcomed and not discriminated against or feel overlooked.

It shows that treating others equally and with respect is still a priority and needs to be shown to transgender students on campus. While many may not agree with what Chancellor Carpenter is doing, it is necessary for the advancement of the LGBT community as well as their safety.

Chadron State track and field seniors Stachia Reuwsaat, of Black Hawk, South Dakota; Mel Herl, of Eaton, Colorado; and Tessa Gorsuch, of Rapid City, South Dakota, earned the program’s first team trophy at a national meet, placing third of 80 teams at the 2017 NCAA D-II Indoor Track and Field Championships this weekend in Birmingham, Alabama.

Thursday, Reuwsaat claimed gold for the second year in a row in the long jump with a leap of 20 feet, 2 1/2 inches, leading the field by more than four inches. West Texas A&M University’s junior Rellie Kaputin, of East New Britain, Papua New Guinea, earned second in the long jump with a 19-10 1/4-leap.

Reuwsaat also competed in the 60-meter dash prelims Thursday, which forced her to sacrifice her last jump in the long jump finals so she could compete in the dash. Reuwsaat ran 7.44 seconds in the prelims, and would go on to finish third in the finals Saturday with a time of 7.47.

Adams State’s sophomore Dianna Johnson, of Angels Spanish Town, Jamaica, won in 7.34, followed by Queen’s Nikia Squire, junior of Columbia, South Carolina, with a time of 7.35.

“Having two national titles under my belt makes me very excited for the outdoor season,” Reuwsaat said. “It really doesn’t change what we are trying to do though. We have to stay focused and keep working to get better and better each day. My main goal will be to train hard and enjoy every day. This is the last time I get to do this and I don’t want to take it for granted.”

Despite throwing more than 70 feet in the weight throw in seven of nine meets this season, Herl missed the 70-foot mark, throwing 69-4 for third place Thursday. Findlay’s junior Tynelle Gumbs, of British Virgin Islands, earned first in the weight throw, tossing 70-3, and Winona State’s junior Kaitlyn Long, of Cottage Grove, Wisconsin, earned the silver, tossing the weight 69-7 1/2. Herl made a comeback Saturday, though, earning the first national champion title for a CSC thrower, tossing the shot put 51-9, a PR of more than a foot. Pittsburg State University’s junior Jasmine Smith, of Leawood, Kansas, grabbed second, throwing 51 feet even, and West Texas A&M University’s sophomore Norma Cunigan, of Wills Point, Texas, earned third, throwing 50-6 3/4.

“Rising to the occasion with my teammates to

make the Chadron community proud took a lot of heart and dedication,” Herl said. “Everything coming together at the last meet of the season was the most incredible way to finish my senior indoor season.”

Gorsuch ran 8.47 in the 60-m hurdle prelims Friday to qualify for the finals. Saturday, she ran 8.49 to claim the bronze in the event. Minnesota State University’s Altoniece Williams, senior of Miami, earned gold in the 60-m hurdles, running 8.37, followed by Pittsburg State University’s junior Courtney Nelson, of Oklahoma City, crossing the line in 8.38.

Adams State University, Alamosa, Colorado, claimed the women’s team championship with 47 points, followed by Grand Valley State University, Allendale Charter Township, Michigan, with 39 points, and the CSC trio with 38 points. The first place marks earned the team 10 points each and the third place marks earned six points each.

The track and field team’s outdoor season begins Saturday March 25 at the Black Hills State University Yellow Jacket Spring Open in Spearfish, South Dakota.

Helmick wins 1 of 3 at nationals Jordyn Hulinsky Managing Editor Chance Helmick, junior of Beatrice, 174-pounds, went 1-2 at the NCAA D-II Tournament in Birmingham, Alabama, Friday to end his season with a record of 33-8.

“The competition level is a lot higher, as in the intensity and pressure,” Helmick said. “Everyone at the national tournament is there with the same goal and very high skill. Often it comes down to one mistake or one moment in a match.”

Head Coach Brett Hunter said that Helmick was prepared for the match-ups at nationals.

“He wrestled a tough schedule this year,” Hunter said. “The opponents were not better than him.

Chance wasn’t star struck by any means at the tournament; it just wasn’t his weekend.”

A two-time Nebraska high school state champion for Beatrice, Helmick joined the Eagle squad for the 2014-15 season.

“Winning two state championships helped me with my confidence and getting to this level,” Helmick said. “Winning a state championship doesn’t help your technique or reach the level of wrestling I am at.

It was just a small stepping stone.”

Helmick started wrestling when he was 4 years old.

“My dad introduced me to the sport and I liked it right away,” Helmick said. “It’s a testament of the type of man you are. No excuses, whatever happens you determine the outcome. No one else. You v. the other guy to see who trained harder and who wants it more.”

He competed for the Eagles his freshman year and ended with a record of 12-10 before going 31-9 during his sophomore season. He finished sixth at the Super Region IV Tournament in 2016.

This year, Helmick improved to third at the regional tournament. He was ranked seventh going into postseason and was sporting a 21-win streak when he lost his first match at the regional tournament.

“Chance had a heck of a season and was pretty dominant,” Hunter said. “He is definitely known now nationally and will have a target on his back from here on out. I am very proud of Chance and what he accomplished; he helped put CSC on the map.”

With Helmick’s appearance, CSC has sent at least one wrestler to the national tournament for 49 consecutive seasons. The last wrestler to place nationally was in 2013, and the last national champion was Hunter in 2009.

Helmick said that the national tournament felt electric and each match mattered more.

“Fans are louder,” Helmick said. “Everything is done at a higher level than regular season.”

Helmick won his first match of the national tournament against Clayton Jennissen of St. Cloud State University, St. Cloud, Minnesota. The senior of Cambridge, Minnesota, was ranked No. 7 at the tournament.

Helmick marked the one and only takedown of the match and tacked on one more point for an escape, but allowed Jennissen two escapes to narrow the lead to 3-2 in Helmick’s favor.

No. 11 Dalton George, of Ohio Valley, Vienna, West Virgina, handed Helmick his first loss of the tourney.

The sophomore of Williamstown, West Virgina, went on to finish sixth in the tournament. Helmick earned an escape early in the dual but George marked a takedown, reversal, and back points in the first two periods to put Helmick down 8-1. Helmick turned it on in the third though, marking an escape, takedown, near fall, and stalling points to narrow the gap. But wasn’t quite enough as George won 8-7.

Junior of Merriam, Kansas, Cody Carson, of Central Missouri University, Warrensburg, ended Helmick’s season. Carson went up 8-2 at the end of the first period with a takedown, near fall worth four, and another take down after a Helmick escape.

Helmick was able to escape a second time to bring him up to 2. The pair traded reversals in the second to leave the score 10-4, but Carson escaped in the third. He was charged with a stalling point to end the score 11-5.

Helmick said he is eligible for his senior season and a redshirt season still and he said he needs to work on his offense and grow physically and technically to improve.

“I will be back and better, whether it is next year or the following year as I still have my redshirt available,” Helmick said.

“Chance needs to find a couple more offensive attacks in order to separate himself from the pack,” Hunter said, affirming Helmick’s claims. “He needs to work hard this summer.”

There is no rest though for the dedicated athlete.

“There is no point in relaxing if your goals are not met,” Helmick said. “I have nothing to celebrate or relax for. I have little time left to meet my goals.”

Hunter also said there is no time for resting.

“As a staff we are recruiting hard now and bringing kids in for visits,” Hunter said. “As a program we started our post season Monday.”

Softball team improves to 9-13, win 2 at Regis Preston Goehring Sports Editor The CSC softball team split a four-game series with Regis University, Denver. The Eagles won the first two games of the series, 4-3 and 8-7, while the Rangers turned their luck around, and won the last two, 2-0 and 8-0. CSC moved to 9-13 overall, 6-5 in conference play.

In the first game, Jessica Jarecki, freshman of Littleton, Colorado, allowed seven hits but struck out 10 batters en route to her sixth win of the season. CSC trailed 3-1 in the seventh inning, when senior Morgan Wilhelm, of Littleton, Colorado, hit a 3-run home run, putting the Eagles on top 4-3. It was Wilhelm’s only at bat of the game.

In game No. 2, the Eagles were in a similar situation, only this time they trailed 7-0 after five innings. CSC scored three runs in the top of the sixth, but still trailed by four. A huge five-run inning and a shutout in the bottom half sealed the win and another comeback victory. Kinsley Mason, senior of Loveland, Colorado, started in the pitching circle
