Student Senate allocates total of $18,384.11 at Monday's meeting Justine Stone News Editor

Senate allocated $13,494.11 for The Big Event. The vote was unanimous with two senators abstaining. Vice President of Finance Nathaniel Jones brought up concerns about the budget where The Big Event pays for advertising in The Eagle. He said this is a separate issue and may be considering it for the future.

Senate allocated no more than $3,000 to RLA for a diversity and sexual assault speaker, Jamie Utt, to speak on campus next semester. The vote was 18 – 1 with Senator Syerra Wycoff-Bagshaw voting no.

“My only caviot is we just had a sexual assault awareness conference, and we just brought in four speakers in the last two weeks that talk about the same subject matter,” Wycoff-Bagshaw said.

“And whenever I go to any of these sessions, even last year I always noticed it’s the same people that always go; it’s never reaching out to any other new people.”

She suggested bringing other speakers, like comedians, to campus so students don’t feel like they are being lectured.

“Sexual assault does get hit on a lot. We are bringing Brian Banks in about it, but I think it is something that we need to keep doing because it is a major thing that is affecting every single campus across the United States,” Student Senate President Katrina Hurley said.

Analise Garland, an RA in Brooks, said that RLA wants to bring Utt to campus mainly for his diversity presentation; Utt offered to do a second presentation over either sexual awareness or leadership.

“The reason the sexual assault thing is so big, and this is kind of interesting, it’s kind of scary to think about, is at the national

level it is really getting to the point where parents are actually afraid to even send their students to college because of the risk of some kind of physical harm. It’s that serious of an issue,” Faculty Adviser Mathew Brust said.

Senate allocated $900 to CAB to co-sponsor the Party at the Pavilion with the Ag Club. This allocation is for food, drinks, and the DJ. No more than $990 was allocated for the dinners that senators will have with the Leadership Summit speakers and the hor d'oeuvres for the Senate meet and greet. The meet and greet is at 6 p.m., tonight in the Scottsbluff room.

Student Senate had $93,744.61 in unallocated funds at the beginning of Monday’s meeting.

Senate needs a new Vice President of Finance due to Nathaniel Jones’s resignation, effective after the Nov. 30 meeting.

“I have been given an opportunity to start my career that I can’t pass up,” Jones said. “Unfortunately, with my work schedule, I can’t do both.”

Chief Justice Coy Clark reminded senators that they need 12 credit hours to be a senator if they are working toward their undergraduate degree. Senators working toward their graduate degree need nine credit hours to sit as a senator. He also reminded senators that they are only allowed two unexcused absences. Any senator who did not attend the General Assembly received an unexcused absence.

Clark mentioned that Jensen has two unexcused absences. He also noted that he missed one more meeting after the petition was filed. Clark said the Constitutional Court is leaving the decision to keep or remove Jensen to Senate. One of the absences was for a required work dinner; he did notify Senate of the absence, but because that excuse was not in the constitution it is considered

unexcused.

On the vote to keep Jensen it failed with a vote of 8-10 with Jensen abstaining and one senator absent.

The second motion to remove Jensen failed with a vote of 10-8 with Jensen abstaining. It failed because it needed two-thirds, or 12, to pass.

He will remain a senator but Clark said the absences will not disappear from Jensen’s record.

Hurley reminded senators to contact her if they want to help revive a second animal shelter in Chadron.

Kent Hall Senator Samantha Merrill said that her constituents have had complaints about the ping-pong paddles in Kent Hall.

Senator Mauro Ovando did research in response to the Senate Workshop last Saturday on getting vending machines on campus.

Ovando contacted Rapid City Vending about vending machines on campus. The person he contacted said that if CSC’s contract with Pepsi is not exclusive, he would be able to put machines on campus for 90 days at no cost. After those 90 days, the cost of the machines is 15 percent of what the machines make and the rest would be returned to campus as a fund. Jensen said that if the vending machines are in the Student Center, they have to go through CSC Dining Services. Ovando said that CSC Dining Services might be able to provide items vended in the machines.

Jones was concerned about vending machines on campus impacting the revenue the coffee shop in the library. High Rise Senator Dusty Runner said that the times that the vending machine vends food could be controlled. Runner said that they are trying to get vending mainly in Eagle Ridge and Edna so students living there don’t have to walk to the C-Store for food. Ovando also did research regarding condom machines for bathrooms. He said that maintenance might have condom dispensing machines in storage.

Senate hosts open forum for student input on The Big Event allocation they are hoping to accomplish this year.

Alyssa Sanders said that last year, the volunteers were spread too thin, and so this year will focus on only Chadron, not Crawford. She also said that about 100 volunteers signed up but did not show up to The Big Event. Sanders said the coordinators will place more people at each job site this year so they “under-promise and overdeliver.” A potential way the coordinators have

Justine Stone News Editor

An open forum to discuss the allocation of $13,494.11 for The Big Event was Monday. Nathaniel Brown started off the forum by saying The Big Event is “Chadron’s biggest community service project.” He said the budget includes food, T-shirts, advertising costs, and everything

discussed to ensure that people go to their job sites is taking the food and T-shirts to the job site. The coordinators also said that some coaches signed up their entire sports team but didn’t tell the athletes so they will be working on that factor communication. The coordinators may also tell the volunteers what their job site is before the day of The Big Event.

Sanders and Jessica Orose said that since stu-

dents like to work with people they know, they may figure out how many people each job site needs then let students sign up for the sites with their friends.

Molly O’Connell asked how the coordinators of The Big Event are going to work with clubs.

Orose said it would be most efficient to attend club meetings to get more students to sign up for The Big Event.

Student leaders discuss issues on campus Justine Stone News Editor

A general assembly was hosted last Friday for Student Senate and all its subsidiary committees. All the advisers were absent and excused.

CAB reported that many clubs have been using the inflatable movie screen. They have also been doing Free Movie Night and Free Bowling Night. They are working on bringing more activities, including Zorb Racing, to campus.

Members of AFB are working on changing how AFB functions. They have been discussing voting rights, advisers’ roles. They said that one of their major roles is to advise Senate on adjusting clubs' budgets if a club gets into trouble.

Student Senate reported that their major project this semester is the leadership conference. A meet and greet with the senators is at 6 p.m., tonight in the Scottsbluff room.

After the reports, the attendees discussed issues and solutions for the issues on campus. Getting ice machines for the dorms, extending library hours, installing hand dryers instead of paper towels into buildings on campus, advertising Health 101, and advertising counseling services were issues brought up at the meeting.

Another issue discussed was the condition of the dorm buildings and how some of them need renovation. The condition of the pool sticks in various places on campus was also discussed; Senator Gavan Archibald said students need to take care of the pool sticks that are on campus.

Another issue that was raised was the students’ lack of knowledge when it comes to emergency procedures. Attendees want to more effectively communicate the proce-

dures to students who live both on and off campus.

Student retention was also discussed at the assembly.

Student Senate President Katrina Hurley said that she wants to make CSC less of a “suitcase college.” Solutions that were discussed for this problem include buying laser guns and zorb balls, a putt-putt golf course, barbeques, jeopardy games, cook-offs, and RA’s hosting events to keep students on campus on weekends. Solutions to keep students attending school at CSC include looking into degree programs, master programs, and getting a foreign language program.

Students said other students aren’t informed about what is happening on campus. Some solutions for this problem include starting the “remind 101” texts to students, advertising more on social media, sending out more emails, and advertising the college social media pages more at New Student Orientation. One concern about the emails that are already sent to students is that not every event is in the emails. Another concern is that if all of these solutions are implemented at once, students will get overwhelmed and won’t read anything that is sent to them.

One senator mentioned that personally inviting students to events will be the most effective way to get students to the events.

The recycling program was also discussed. One way is to invest in green pails for the recycling instead of the boxes so the program is more recognizable. If students start recycling more and prove that recycling is a real problem on campus, the administrators will notice and begin to help along with the janitors. Bins may also be put by the elevators.

The internet speed was brought up at the meeting.

Suggestions to put Ethernet cords and usb extensions in every dorm room on campus were discussed.

Senators brainstorm ways to improve CSC Justine Stone News Editor

A Student Senate workshop was hosted Saturday for senators to discuss issues on campus and projects.

Student Senate Adviser Deena Kennell explained Robert’s Rules of Order to the senators.

She said that these rules “make for a more efficient meeting.” She discussed the basics of the rules with the senators and showed a few videos to help explain.

Senator Mauro Ovando suggested that the agenda be more thoroughly filled out week to week.

Senators were split up into groups based on their position to discuss problems and projects on campus. Then they came back and discussed them in a large group.

E.H.P.C.P.S.W. representatives said many of the students in RHOP are leaving because classes are too hard and the students cannot handle it. They said this is because of the professors, not the material. They also said that they want the Planetarium on campus to be opened and used more for events but it is a funding issue. The senators also said they want more water bottle filling stations on campus.

The dorm senators want to have a food bank for students for when Dining Services are closed.

They discussed how students don’t always have the money or transportation to buy food during the breaks. They also want to open C-Stores in Edna and Eagle Ridge and getting an ice machine in High Rise.

The B.E.A.M.M.S. representatives said that a Spanish program would be beneficial to CSC. They said it is a funding issue right now. Some of their suggestions include having the Chadron High School Spanish teacher come over once a week, having a distance learning program with Wayne State if they have a Spanish professor, or getting a Rosetta Stone program online for students. They also want to have more color printers on campus. They suggested getting printers that student’s computers can be connected to.

The Liberal Arts and at large senators suggested getting condom dispensers on campus. They want to put them in the bathrooms and throughout the dorms. They also brought up the Internet speed, having vending machines that accept credit/debit cards, and increasing the library hours.

Pat Beu, student affairs senior director, told the senators if they bring issues to administration, they need to make sure they also bring creative solutions.

To become in sync with the other state colleges—Peru State and Wayne State—Chadron State’s payment policy will be updated beginning the Spring 2016 semester.

According to press release from CSC College Relations, students will be withdrawn from classes, removed from housing, and meal plans will be canceled if students have an outstanding balance of more than $500 four weeks after payment is due.

The Spring 2016 semester begins on Jan. 11, 2016, so the cutoff date for the punishments is Feb. 22, 2016. The deadline for payments for regular and the first eight-week classes is Jan. 22, 2016, in the business office and Jan. 24, 2016, online. If a student has a balance of more than $150 on April 15, 2016, students will not be able to enroll in future terms.

Before the revisions were made, students were charged a late fee and couldn’t register for classes; students weren’t dropped from classes.

Kari Gaswick, student financials comptroller in the business office, said the policy shouldn’t affect those with loans as long as financial aid communicates with the business office.

BRIEFS International Week celebrated on campus For the first time at CSC, the International Club plans to promote global awareness on campus. This is a part of International Education Week, a joint effort of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education. A study abroad table with information about different programs will be set up from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m., today in the Student Center. An international coffee hour will be from 7 – 8 p.m., today in the Mari Sandoz Center. Students will give short presentations about their cultures during the coffee hour.

Study abroad program available to students Applications are still being accepted for a justice studies study abroad program to London, Paris, and the Hague, available to students of all majors, on campus and online students, in May 2016.

The program can be taken as either three or six credit hours, and three hours can fill the Human Diversity credit of the Essential Studies program. Scholarships and financial aid are available for the program. For more information contact Tracy Nobiling at 308-4326256 or at tnobiling@csc.edu

The Ripples Guy enlightens CSC students Anh Le

He said comfort was necessary in class, but real learning could only take place when there was a balance between comfort and challenge. To start, he came up with an example.

Students who first entered the room, either alone or with peers, tended to find someone they knew to sit with. He explained that because people want to be comfortable, they wanted to surround themselves with people they knew and had the same visions as they had.

Furthermore, by adding challenge, students would engage more and not get bored.

He also said we should think about and try to get a sense of Reporter why someone believed in something. In order to do so, students “You are enough.

EDITORIAL BOARD

Janelle Kesterson Opinion Editor Colleges and universities are supposed to be places where students can go to broaden their horizons. They should foster an environment where students find new ways to look at art, politics, love and war, and life. They should teach students to stand up for academic and political freedoms. They should instigate rigorous, thought-provoking debate.

EDITORIAL–THE EAGLE’S VIEW

We stand with Paris “Ils ont les armes. On les emmerde, on a le champagne!”

The French weekly satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo, published a sarcastic cover in response to Friday’s Paris attacks.

The cover depicts a bullet-ridden man dancing and drinking champagne, while the renowned French bubbly, not blood, pours from the bullet holes. The caption, roughly translated, states, “They have guns. Screw them. We have champagne.”

Controversial? Perhaps. Poignant?

Yes, and directly on target.

The cover states that Paris isn’t afraid, nor will it change its way of life. The attacks happened on Paris’ soil and Parisians aren’t going to let terrorists win.

Not so here at home.

In a Nov. 16 article on its website, CBS News reported that more than 20 U.S. governors said they would stop accepting, or refuse to accept, Syrian refugees seeking safe harbor.

The article also reported that Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts was among them. Ricketts said he doesn’t want refugees resettling in Nebraska until safety can be assured, the article stated.

A Baltimore Sun editorial stated, “If the point of terrorism is to inflame, divide and frighten, surely the best response is to do just the opposite— to not give in to rage and anger and blindly lash out, to unite and not fan the flames of fear.”

We agree with the Baltimore Sun editorial board and believe American governors should listen and stop the

rhetoric, for two reasons.

First, governors do not posses the power to decide where refugees will be placed. Once the refugees pass through the federal vetting process and are accepted into the United States, the federal government employs a variety of processes to determine where the refuges will be placed.

Second, and perhaps most important, accepting victims, especially children, who have been terrorized, is the most American of our American values.

The Baltimore Sun, Charlie Hebdo, Paris, and all of France are right; we Americans need to follow their example and quit living in fear.

Je suis Paris—I am Paris. We raise our glasses to you, Paris.

The cover of the French satricial weekly magazine features a man with bullet holes drinking champagne with the words that roughly translate to, “They have guns. Screw them. We have champagne.”

No one has the right to a ‘safe place’ at a public institution Richard Heule III Contributor The other day, I saw a video on the internet of some people at Yale yelling at someone. I didn’t know the full context, but it goes something like this: Yale’s Intercultural Affairs Committee sent an email to the students of Yale telling them to be tasteful when picking Halloween costumes so they don’t offend anyone.

However, someone else sent out an email telling students to decide whether or not their costume was appropriate, rather than relying on the administration to tell them right from wrong.

A few students got mad and decided to go talk to the Dean about this, and they ended up getting into an argument about free speech with a man named Nicholas Christakis, a master of Silliman College. In this case,

master is a fancy term for “adviser.”

In the video, he defends himself from the words of angry students by saying that he should not be a master because of the email telling people to decide for themselves.

Their main concern is that Yale wouldn’t be a “safe space” if people can wear any costume they want.

Because of that statement, the argument quickly became about free speech. In the

video I saw, one part spoke volumes to me.

You can hear Nicholas Christakis say, “I stand behind free speech, yes I do,” to which a young man responds, “Even when it’s offensive?”

That phrase struck a chord with me, because it shows the kind of mentality that is making our society a bunch of babies.

I could care less if someone gets offended when I say something.

As a regular person, I can walk down the street, look at people and yell, “Hey there, George Bush did 9/11, Hitler did nothing wrong, and I hate everyone. Have a nice day!”

I have that right because it was guaranteed to me from birth. Every single person in this country has the irrefutable right to say whatever they want, even if it’s offensive, crude, stupid, or just plain wrong.

Hell, I have to listen to people say, “Donald Trump will be the best president ever.”

I may be screaming internally, that doesn’t mean I’m going to shut down their right to say it. I don’t have to agree with it, and I can be offended by it if I want to be. But at the end of the day, nobody is going to care about how offended I am.

People can go complain about it on the internet and hope to God that some social justice warrior will see it and hopefully repost it to their blog, but that still will not do a thing. Sometimes in life, you have to accept people’s right to say whatever they want to say, even if you don’t agree with it.

You will never, ever have your 100 percent certified “safe space” because they don’t exist. With over seven billion people on the face of the earth, there are a lot of people out there every day who say a lot of horrible things. And yet, somehow, the world hasn’t exploded yet. I think we will be fine for a few more millennia.

10 ways that pizza is better than boys Justine Stone News Editor 1. If you pour ranch on pizza, it won’t break up with you.

Ranch is easily one of the best condiments out there, so who wouldn’t love anything smothered in it? Pizza is totally okay with being covered in ranch. But according to boys, being covered in ranch isn’t acceptable.

2. If pizza is cheesy it’s because you ordered it that way.

If you had to choose between hearing, “Hey baby, are you a broom? Because you just swept me off my feet,” or pulling a piece of pizza out of the box and watching the cheese stretch at least seven feet, which would you choose? I think we both know it’s the pizza. Also, stuffed crust. Enough said.

3. I don’t have to put makeup on for pizza.

Pizza will never judge you. The pizza and the consumer have a two-way relationship. They each give 90 percent and only expect 10 percent.

You don’t have to wear an expensive dress for dinner, you don’t have to do your makeup, you don’t have to shave your legs, and you don’t have to eat like a lady for pizza to love you.

4.

Pizza won’t ignore you for video games.

Pizza comes in many flavors, shapes, and sizes, but there is one thing that is the same about every pizza: No matter what, you will always have its undivided attention.

5. Pizza will hang out with you all throughout the day.

With so many different flavors of pizza, there’s never a time throughout the day where it isn’t appropriate. You can start off the day with a hearty breakfast pizza. Then move on to lunch with a classic flavor, like cheese, pepperoni, or supreme. When it comes around to dinner time, you can get a little more fancy and go for the chicken alfredo pizza. And finally, for your midnight snack, dessert pizza.

6. Pizza won’t get jealous.

If a pizza sees you eating other foods, it won’t get jealous. It will just wait patiently, knowing in the back of its

mind that you will soon give it the love it deserves.

7. Pizza will never break your heart.

There is no such thing as a perfect man, but there is definitely a perfect pizza. Pizza will never run away or kiss your sister. It will give you your space if you need time to think, but will always be there for you.

Pizza won’t insult your new sweater or get mad if you don’t text it back. It won’t hurt your feelings. And the best part: it’s always just one phone call away.

8. Pizza won’t argue with you.

Whether it’s about your lack of knowledge on football or your amplitude of knowledge on fashion, pizza knows you’re always right and it won’t even try to argue with you.

Boys on the other hand, will argue with you over anything.

9. Pizza will cuddle with you.

It won’t steal the blankets in the middle of the night. Pizza won’t hog the bed. It won’t complain about you putting your cold feet or hands on its back.

10. Just because.

Pizza is pizza. That’s way more than enough of a reason for it to be better than boys.

And although pizza is better than boys, without boys, who would buy the pizza?

A Profane Performance ‘The Money Shot’ shocks audience with profanity and mature themes Steve, played by Nathan Wojciechowski, senior of Gering, listens carefully Tuesday during “The Money Shot” dress rehearsal.

Shae Brennan Reporter To drop the F-bomb at least 62 times, according to my tally, in a two-hour t i m e span of a play w i t h f o u r c a s t members could b e c o n sidered a nearly i m possible feat.

B u t t h a t ’s w h a t the cast o f “ Th e M o n e y Shot” did in Tuesday night’s dress rehearsal. But don’t worry, other colorful profanity also decorates the dialogue.

Director Scott Cavin, associate professor of visual performing arts, said college students would probably be the best

audience for this performance because they generally are more open to the situations portrayed in “The Money Shot’s” scenes.

A mature audience with a good sense of sarcastic humor is definitely needed for this eye-opening performance. Trigger warning: this play is not for the students who need safe places. I would recommend all college students go see “The Money Shot” because it’s full of acerbic humor inviting students to witness how celebrities are often insecure about themselves and willing to risk their dignity and relationships just to stay in the public’s eye (think anything Kardashian).

In a pagesix.com article by Cindy Adams, author of “The Money Shot” Neil LaBute states, “I love humor. You need guts to write comedy.” While this is probably true, it’s also arguable that it takes major guts to act out this kind of comedic performance (and to watch it). It is quite an accomplishment to keep a play entertaining while communicating a somber message at the same time, so congratulations.

The rehearsal ran smoothly for only having three weeks of practice instead of the usual six weeks, said Cavin.

Other unpredictable factors like illness also struck the cast and crew and hindered the amount of days they were able to rehearse.

However, after watching Tuesday night’s full dress run through, it

looked as if the cast and crew had as much practice as they had in any other past production.

Lighting, sound, hair, makeup, costumes, and set all came together and created a fitting atmosphere for the rehearsal.

Out of the 30-40 students who auditioned, only four were able to make the cut for this production.

These four cast members include Molly Thornton, 24-year-old senior of Riverton, Wyoming, majoring in theater and biology plays Karen; Asia Carr, 20-year-old junior of Lusk, Wyoming, majoring in psychology plays Bev,;Tavia Passero, 19-year-old sophomore of Chadron, majoring in early elementary education plays Missy; and Nathan Wojciechowski, 22-year-old senior of Gering, majoring in business finance and theater performance directing plays Steve.

A large production team joined with this cast produces a phenomenal performance.

If you and your friends or you and your significant other want to try something new this weekend, go see “The Money Shot” at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, or 2 p.m. on Sunday There’s a surprising twist at the end of the play so go find out what happens!

The next performance by the Chadron State College Theater Program will be “Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead” by Tom Stoppard Feb. 25-28, 2016.

Lights, Camera, Conflict. A myriad of foul language and some risqué situations help to portray how celebrity meltdowns, charities, feuds, love lives, and personal details, are sold to us by television executives everywhere.

The Chadron State College theater department’s rendition of Neil Labute’s “The Money Shot” addresses the celebrity lifestyle and society’s attraction to it in a way that is “sure to please college students,” and would make any Entertainment News reporter shiver with excitement.

“It is fun with the celebrity aspect,” Director and Associate Professor Scott Cavin said of the decision to do the play. ”We tend to listen to what all these celebrities say and what they say can tend to be dumb.”

The piece follows four characters that form two couples as they discuss a possible “Money Shot” in a movie starring half of each couple.

The entire play covers a dinner party called by Karen who is played by Molly Thornton, 24, senior of Riverton, Wyoming. Karen is an actress who is looking to stay relevant by having a shockingly new scene in the movie she is working on. Karen’s “partner, girlfriend, or whatever she will call her next,” is Bev. Asia Carr, 20, junior from Lusk, Wyoming, plays Bev. The character is a know-it-all, women’s activist, film editor who is living with her rich and famous girlfriend Karen.

Throughout the play, she argues with all of the other characters about their knowledge of well-known facts. A majority of her quarrels, including one wrestling match, take place

between her and Steve.

Nathan Wojciechowski, 22, senior of Gering, plays Steve, Karen’s 48-year-old famous co-star. He portrays an aging actor struggling to maintain his youthful appearance.

Throughout the evening, he manages to offend a slew of different people fitting many different stereotypes. His young wife Missy accompanies him to the dinner party.

Chadron native Kristavia Passero, 19, sophomore, plays Missy. Her character is the stereotypical young, blonde, aspiring actress. Although she has fewer lines than the other characters, she teaches the audience to dismiss stereotypes as well as provides a great deal of whimsical comic relief.

The overall production is well done despite a few setbacks including short rehearsal time and illness, which touched the entire cast. Due to illness, they only had their first full cast walkthrough a week before the show was set to open.

If you have an opportunity to watch “The Money Shot” you absolutely should. That is unless you are easily offended. Because the piece hits on some “hot” topics in today’s society including gay relationships, racism, and age gap relationships. There are some uncomfortable situations and a large amount of remarks that are not for the gentle hearted, that the cast handles well to portray the seriousness of the issues. It is packed full of sarcastic humor and witty remarks that are sure to keep you laughing throughout.

Performances will begin in the Black Box Theatre in Memorial hall on at 7:30 p.m. Thursday and continuing each night through Saturday. There will be a performance at 2 p.m. Sunday.

Sarah Townsend & Jordyn Hulinsky Lifestyles Editor & Managing Editor Imagine not knowing when you would have a full meal next. For many people in our world, knowing where the next meal is coming from and when it is coming is a luxury. Those people who don’t have that luxury are typically pictured to live in famine-ridden countries, but it may surprise some to find out that people in every single community in the United State are suffering from hunger.

According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, an estimated one in nine people suffered from chronic undernourishment in 20122014. And of these people, many are children. It is estimated that malnutrition is a cause of 3.1 million child deaths each year, according to the World Hunger Education Service.

That may seem far away to many readers, but hunger is closer to home than many think. According to Feeding America, one in eight people in Nebraska struggle with hunger. In Dawes County alone, the United States Census Bureau estimates that about 19.3 percent of people, or 1,745 individuals, are living below the poverty level. Because poverty is one cause of hunger, it can be concluded that almost 20 percent of the people living in Dawes County are suffering from hunger.

At the Oxfam Hunger Banquet, Monday night in the Student Center Ballroom, many CSC students, staff, faculty and Chadron residents experienced what life would be like in certain economic situations that people live in around the world and in our own community.

“The statistics provided were alarming and grabbed my attention,” a participant at the banquet, Jordon Cooper, 22, senior of Big Piney, Wyoming, said. “It really puts it in perspective when most of us are appalled to eat rice on the floor when a lot of third world country citizens walk 10 plus miles just to get drinkable water for the day.”

The evening began with an introduction from CSC Communications Professor Shaunda French. Students in French’s Event Planning and Leadership classes organized the event to spread awareness and learn more about hunger in the world and in the area.

“I’m very proud how the event went and I commend the students on the great work they did,” French said. “It’s a civic engagement class and it’s the first time I taught this course in the fall. We normally focus on The Big Event in this class, but being in the fall, we needed an event to focus on. I’m hoping the Hunger Banquet can be an addition to The Big Event to make it another annual event.”

“It was very eye opening event for the students because they don’t understand how serious hunger is and how many people it truly affects,” a students from the class, Brandon Pippenger, 21, senior of Banning, California, said.

Pastor Ann Sundberg of Immanuel Lutheran Church talked about local statistics for hunger. She also mentioned that there are multiple food pantries in Chadron where people can donate to help those in need. Sundberg and the Immanuel Lutheran Church run one of the food pantries. Those who attended the event brought canned food items to donate to the pantry.

“The event raised awareness of the hunger and poverty present in the world,” Chelsea Lukasiewicz, 20, junior of Fort Calhoun, CA 239 student, said.

Then students from CA 239 initiated a scenario for the attendees. Those who had been invited to the event were given cards with information about a person who was his or her character of either high, middle, or low income for the night.

The students told each income group—high, middle and low—what the meal would be for the night. Some lucky individuals got moved from low to middle, and some found that misfortune was in their cards, and they had to move to the low-income group. The high-income group was seated at a fancy, plated table with a full meal, the middle group was at a long table and given a buffet of rice, beans and water, and the low group was seated on the floor and given a small plate of rice and water.

Individuals who attended the event said that they were impacted by the event and were impressed with the visual representation.

Participants of the banquet included those ranging in all ages and from all kinds of different backgrounds. Each student in the CA 239 classes were required to invite one adult and one student to the event. CSC students, members of CSC faculty and administration, and grade school kids all participated.

For the first time under Head Coach Jay Long and since 2005, the Eagles failed to finish the season over .500. Saturday, the football team lost to Fort Lewis College, 47-34, even after holding a 22-14 halftime lead. The Eagles finished the season 5-6 overall, 4-5 in conference play.

The Skyhawks ran all over the Eagles, stacking up 316 yards on the ground. Quarterback Allen Thigpen, junior of Dayton, Ohio, ran for 169 of them.

Thigpen accounted for 200 passing yards on just nine completed passes. He also scored three touchdowns, one on the ground, one passing, and one kick return with 14 seconds left in the game, sealing the victory for the Skyhawks.

“It was a tough game,” Matt Reader, redshirt freshman of Appleton, Wiconsin, said.

“Tough for us to have to send our seniors out with a loss. Those guys did so much for our program and we all wanted to send them out on a positive note, so the team was pretty hurt.”

Several seniors impacted the Eagles positively in their final game. Chris Conroy, senior quarterback of Gordon, led the Eagles on an early touchdown drive, finished by a 15-yard touchdown pass to Reader.

Senior Cole Montgomery, of Casper, Wyoming, completed the two-point conversion attempt with a pass to Zac Bargen, senior of Chadron.

Matt Vinson, sophomore of Box Elder, South Dakota, completed 24 passes for 283 yards and three touchdowns. All three of them were to Reader, who finished with four touchdowns and 60 yards. Redshirt freshman Max Gray, of Arlington, Washington, caught eight passes for a career-high 124 yards.

Kenzie Chrisman (5), freshman of Sterling, Colorado, and Lelalelei Nomura (1), senior of Pago Pago, American Samoa, block a spike Saturday during a set against Regis University in the Chicoine Events Center.

“Leaders, consistence, vocal.”

Three words Coaching Assistant Whitney Roth used to describe how she wanted her volleyball team to play Saturday against the Regis University Rangers. Unfortunately, the CSC team did well overall but couldn’t get the win, resulting in a 0-3 loss on Senior Night.

In a struggle to start strong, the Eagles fell behind in the first set allowing the Rangers to win 25-16.

The Eagles brought the momentum into set two, leading throughout most of the set and gaining their largest advantage of four points. That wasn’t enough as the Eagles took another loss.

In set three, the Eagles wanted this win. They came out strong leading the majority of the time and achieved 16 of their 38 total kills. Powerful hitters from both sides made the set interesting but the Rangers outshined the Eagles leading the Rangers to a match victory.

“We struggled all around tonight; we were flat and didn’t play our best,” Roth said. “Lela played great; she should be proud of the way she played tonight.”

Graduating outside hitter Lelalelei Nomura, senior of Pago Pago, American Samoa, led the Eagles in kills with 14 and only two errors finishing the night with a .400 hitting percentage. Nomura ends her season with 194 total kills in 86 sets played.

“I think we did a good job,” Nomura said after the game. “Sometimes things don’t go as you want, but overall we did a good job tonight.”

Rudy Leasau, junior outside hitter of LaMesa, California, ended her season with 10 kills and 11 digs against the Rangers. Also included in her game stats are two blocks.

Middle hitter and senior Sina Magua, of Ewa Beach, Hawaii, led the defense with three blocks along with Sierra Winkle, freshman of Tucson, Arizona, who led the team in digs at 17. Defensively, Regis was able to return the ball efficiently as Rebecca Sponcil, senior libero from Phoenix, led the Rangers with 22 digs.

Freshman setter Madison Webb, of Loveland, Colorado, wrapped up her season with a total of 32 set assists.

Additional seniors Jamie McClain, defensive specialist of Chadron, contributed to the team with six digs and Justine Ackie, setter of Phoenix, tied Webb in leading aces with one.

Six seniors were recognized before the game as the player’s parents escorted them onto the court and a summary of their athletic college career achievements were read. Seniors received a framed CSC volleyball jersey corresponding with their jersey number.

The Chadron State volleyball team concluded its season with eight conference wins and nine overall this season; the program’s best record since 2007.

With basketball season now here the Eagles women’s team traveled to Laramie last Sunday to play its season opener against the University of Wyoming Cowgirls in an exhibition game.

The Eagles came out to a good start, jumping to a five-point lead in the first quarter against the Cowgirls.

Emma Block, senior of Copenhagen, Denmark, led the Eagles’ offense with 15 points, shooting three of five from the 3-point line and making all six from the free-throw line. Stephanie Knowles, senior of Colorado Springs, Colorado, also managed to score 10 points for the Eagles, shooting five of 16 from the field. The duo combined for a total of 25 points, which was just under half of the team’s total 53 points in the game.

The Eagles also saw good production coming from some of their key reserves that checked into the game.

Kayla Matthews, sophomore of Adelaide, Australia, came in and gave the Eagles nine points, and Erin Graham, junior of Deland, Florida, scored eight.

Defensively Knowles led the Eagles in steals with five, just over half of the Eagles nine total team steals, while four other Eagles each contributed one steal a piece. Maddie Metzger, junior of Georgetown, Texas, grabbed five rebounds, which tied for a team high with Knowles. The team had 27 total rebounds, which includes five team rebounds.

“I thought our defense was solid all around and we communicated well,” Havannah Newens, junior of Mitchell, said. “We have scrappy defenders who put pressure on players.”

The Eagles managed to compete and keep it a close game going into halftime only trailing by 11, points but in the second half, the depth of

the Cowgirls became a factor against the young Eagles team. Turnovers played a major factor in the game.

The Eagles totaled 21 turnovers while the Cowgirls marked 17 but also had 17 assists while the Eagles only assisted six times. Capitalizing on the Eagles’ turnovers, the Cowgirls scored 24 points off just turnovers which helped keep the lead for the remainder of the game.

“We have some really great talent on the team this year which should take us far,” Block said. “The only thing that can stop us this year is ourselves.”

“We knew going into the game that Fort Lewis had some small corners,” Reader said.

“The coaches gave me an opportunity to take advantage of that. The quarterbacks made some nice plays and put the ball where it needed to be and we connected.”

Senior fullback Robert Jackson, of Savannah, Georgia, added the lone rushing touchdown for the Eagles, a 30-yard scramble late in the first quarter. Jackson was CSC’s leading rusher with 40 yards.

Defensively, three players led the team: junior Brian Wood, of Stockton, California; Dylan Furrier, senior of Tucson, Arizona; and redshirt freshman Kirk Durtsche, of Casper, Wyoming.

Sophmore Collin Eisenman, of Sheridan, Wyoming, earned RMAC First Team honors.

Eisenman led the Eagles in tackles for loss, with 12.5; sacks, with six; and tied with Furrier for most forced fumbles, with two.

Eight others received honorable mention: Bargen; Danny O’Boyle, senior of Ger-

ing; Darrien Oliver, junior of San Diego; Daniel Sotelo, senior of Grand Island; senior Clay Cundall, of Greybull, Wyoming; Furrier; Montgomery; and Ryan Wood, junior of Stockton, California.

O’Boyle finished third on the team in receiving yards with 320 but was sidelined with a severe knee injury during the Colorado State University-Pueblo game, Oct. 27. Furrier finished his career with enough tackles to place him in the top 10 for CSC history. Ryan Wood and Cundall were both large threats on defense, Wood finishing second in tackles, and Cundall finishing fourth.

To earn All-RMAC First team honors, players are voted on by the head coaches of the RMAC. However a head coach cannot vote for his own player. Players receiving honorable mention received at least one vote.

“I think the most important thing to work on this spring and summer is the small details,” Reader said. “If we can improve on the little things, we should find more success.”

Eagle hoopers start season with loss Preston Goehring Sports Editor

Bryson’s Back Country Bryson Hellmuth | Outdoor Columnist

There is always room for 1 more Is there always another spot on the wall?

We find ourselves halfway through the rifle deer season in this great state.

Pictures of deer with exquisite antlers continue to flood social media. At this point, many hunters are presented with the question, “Is there enough room for one more on the wall?” That is one more deer worthy enough to be enshrined on your wall forever.

Recently, a friend posted a beautiful white-tailed buck on social media.

Better yet, the deer was in velvet and he shot it with his compound bow. His mother told him there was no room left on the wall for another deer. He gave the classical response that any avid hunter would give. “There is always room for one more.” I couldn’t agree more with this statement.

It was instilled in me that a deer with large antlers deserves to have a spot on the wall. That mature buck represents the ability to persevere in rough times.

That perseverance is the same thing hunters have to possess in order to have a successful hunt. At first glance it may seem difficult to find a place for that buck, but all it takes is a bit of rearranging.

It goes without saying that not every deer can be shoulder mounted. That is unless you have a huge house, loads of money and only hunt for the wrong reasons. Therefore, set certain criteria before adding another animal to the trophy room.

The criteria you set in place is a stepping stone to help define what you consider a trophy animal. A trophy can be harvesting a new species for the first time. My dad and I recently went on an elk hunt in Idaho. We were just a couple flatlanders that intended to work hard and pack an elk out of the mountains.

We spent a whole week chasing those creatures in steep terrain and the last day it finally paid off. The elk only boasted a small pair of antlers, but it felt like the biggest elk in Idaho. A trophy can be based on the story of how you harvested the animal.

Two years ago, I searched several miles and five hours for a deer I had injured, until I found him and was able to come away with my biggest trophy. A trophy can be an animal that you have seen grow for several years. A trophy can be defined by the people you were with when you shot it. I will never forget how it felt when my dad helped me take my first mule deer. Finally, the typical view of a trophy would be how big the antlers are. With these criteria in mind a spot on the wall will always be available.

The Chadron State College men’s basketball team fell to the South Dakota State University Jackrabbits, 43-21, in the season debut. However, the game does not count toward an overall record because it was just an exhibition game.

SDSU, a D-I school, won 24 games last year and are projected to win the Summit Conference title. The Jackrabbits were led by Jake Bittle, senior of Bixby, Oklahoma, who shot nine of 11 from the field including four 3-pointers.

Bittle finished the game with 23 points. Mike Daum, redshirt freshman of Kimball, added 15 points, making seven of 10 attempt and snagged seven boards.

The Eagles were led by sophomore point guard Sharif Black, of Detroit, who scored 12 points. Senior Davante McCallam, of Miami, scored nine points and seven rebounds. McCallam fouled out after playing 21 minutes.

Eight other Eagles reached the scoring col-

umn, but did not score more than five points.

Chadron State is projected to finish 12th in the RMAC this season, according to a preseason coaches poll.

Metropolitan State University -D enver and Colorado State Un i v e r s i t y - P u eb l o are projected to finish first and second, respectively.

The Eagles also played the University SHARIF BLACK of Nebraska-Kearney, Wednesday night. However the game was not over before press time.

The Eagles home opener will be against Dickinson State University, 2 p.m., Sunday.

The Bluehawks are an NAIA school, and were picked to finish sixth in the North Star Athletic Association conferenence in a preseason coaches poll. Dickinson State has played six games, although two were exhibition games, which leaves its record at 2-2.

Joslynn VanDerslice, 21, senior of Columbus, displays rocks while speaking Saturday about Mars during Science Days.

Third, fourth, and fifth grade students seemed ecstatic to learn about the Martian landscape, from how it forms to how it changes over time. Rovers on Mars were discussed, and rocks similar to some NASA has uncovered on Mars were passed around for the children to examine.

Under the direction of CSC students and faculty, kids collected rocks outside the Math and Science building. Back inside, participants were shown pictures of Mars on a slide show presented by Physical and Life Science Instructor Jen Balmat. Students were challenged to think about how the surfaces of Mars were formed. Suggestions included erosion, asteroids, and wind, although Balmat noted that no one knows for certain what formed valleys and craters on Mars.

Students were then given the opportunity to make their own craters. Each group received a ping-pong ball and marble, along with the rocks they had collected. They weighed the objects, and dish tubs filled with sand were distributed. The tubs were placed on the floor for the students to roll their objects off the tables and into the tubs. Balmat drew up an organizational chart on the chalkboard with three categories—object, weight, and crater size—for the students to copy down in their scientific notebooks. Students were then able to grasp the correlation between the object, object’s weight, and the size of the craters.

The next Science Days is planned for 8:30 a.m., Saturday in the Math and Science building.

“We are grieving, but we are going to show them that they can’t win,” Le Pape said.

She will be returning home Dec. 13, for the duration of CSC’s winter break. Le Pape looks for heightened surveillance throughout the city, but does not expect the people to have changed their daily routines.

She said everyone back home is grateful for all the support from other countries, but while France is mourning their own losses, “we should also remember the other countries that have been attacked by ISIS.” Just the day before the attacks on Paris, a double suicide bombing claimed 43 lives in Beirut, according to The New York Times.

The United States are feeling repercussions from the attacks. A passport found beside the body of one suicide bomber gave French authorities reason to believe that the attacker had entered Europe through a recent wave of Syrian refugees.

According to CNN, the Obama administration has decided to accept 10,000 Syrian refugees into the U.S. next year.

However, after the recent attacks by ISIS, governors of 31 states have announced that their state will not accept Syrian refugees.

The federal government has ultimate power in the decision, but the clash from the states

may make it difficult.

French President Francois Hollande is traveling to Washington to meet with President Obama next week, according to The New York Times.

They will be discussing strategies to manage the terroristic threat that ISIS has brought upon the world.

Grammy award winner performs Native music Anastasia Zbarazhskaya Reporter

Grammy award winning singer, songwriter, and icon of the Native American Community, Bill Miller gave a performance for Chadron State students and citizens at the Galaxy Series event in Memorial Hall Auditorium at 7 p.m., last Thursday.

Miller started his performance by replaying a conversation when he was 19-years-old with his friend who predicted that he would be famous and wealthy.

Miller was also told that his music would be a bridge to the world, and he will win three awards.

Moreover, his friend said that Miller would be married and have five kids. Miller was joking that he didn’t want to have five kids at that time.

All these predictions came true. It is important to say that all these happened in the Pine Ridge Reservation, where he came from with his college friend.

“I’m here, I hope I can encourage you, if not change a part of your life for the better,” Miller said.

Miller said his trip to Chadron was long and difficult.

“I drove the whole trip,” Miller said. “There were things happening to me that didn’t want me to get here: my car broke down in Indiana, I drove 794 miles and got in two snowstorms. But I made it and I’m here.”

He said he met great people in Chadron and he would like to spend more days here, go to the Pine Ridge and relax there as he used to do when he was 19, but he had to leave the next day, which made him sad.

After the memories of the past, he started to play

the flute.

Miller talked about the importance of praying, which he learned to do in the Indian Native Way. “I talk to my creator every minute I can,” he said.

Also, Miller talked about styles of singing. He explained how the Northern Indian style is different from Southern Indian singers.

He talked about birds, and their representation of the spirit of the soul in flight. He remembered how he saw two golden eagles, his favorite birds, which were facing a storm.

“That is a beautiful image which effects you for the rest of your life,” Miller said.

Miller talked about his college time and his friend Dave. It’s not a surprise that the time spent in college are some of the best times in people’s life. He thought the best times were spent with Dave.

He talked a lot about Dave’s family and their relationships, which impressed him because they were close. Dave’s dad was taking care of his family compared to Miller’s father, who would physically fight his wife.

Miller was playing songs between his speeches which allowed the audience to think about the songs’ relation to their lives, to rethink something because each of the songs that he played had a meaning.

Miller was talking do his audience simply. He was joking, and people were smiling, and laughing. Some stories from his life made people to think about their lives and families.

At the end of Miller’s performance there was a line from people who wanted to thank him for coming to Chadron and sharing his wisdom.

“It was fun,” Moriel said after the game. “Having friends there and prizes made it a lot better.”

Two people competed each game. The winner moved into the next round. There were soccer balls painted as pool balls and participants tried their best to kick them. Normal 8 ball rules were applied. One player pockets all the solids and the other pockets all the stripes. The player who finished all of his or her balls can kick the 8 ball, and then he or she wins the game.

There was a raffle at the end of the event to give away prizes including movies, blankets, pencils, Christmas lights, marker, and white board.

Students play stress away with Play Doh Laurie Le Pape Reporter CSC students were able to relieve their stress through playing with PlayDoh at 6 p.m., Monday, in the Gold Room during the PlayD’off your Stress event.

Students were able to learn about different ways of relieving stress “It’s a nice relief to get out and play with PlayDoh, it is definitively different,” Rachel Dowling, 19, sophomore of Hampton, said. “It’s something that I haven’t seen before, so it’s interesting to learn about different ways of relieving stress around the world. It’s an educational way to see how different people do it.”

Some information provided on ways to relieve stress included “taking a time-out, eating well balanced meals, limiting alcohol and caffeine, getting enough sleep, exercise daily,” but also to learn ways from different cultures. For example in Swe-

den, they head to cafés with friends to drink and eat; the Indians practice “yoga laughter;” in South America, they drink Matè an herbal hot drink; and finally in China, they practice meditation.

“It’s a simple program where you do it at your pace and everybody is super stressed because finals are three weeks away,” Yadira Gurrola, 21, senior of Scottsbluff, said.

Students were able to practice meditation as well as drink tea and eat food. They were allowed to keep the PlayDoh after the event.

“It’s a nice way to relieve stress from college,” Jessica Orose, 21, senior of Piedmont, South Dakota, said.

“It’s a unique program. It’s also a good way to keep it and then we can use it on a later date when we need stress relief.”

Prizes were given out every 10 minutes including tabletop billiards, air hockey, foods, movies, blanket, and detergent.

Sports Editor The sound of classical music played by students under the direction of Brooks Hafey, assistant professor of piano, filled the ears of over 60 people in the Memorial Hall Auditorium. Both students taking private lessons with Hafey and students in the Keyboard Ensemble class preformed Sunday.

“The students did really well,” Hafey said.

“It was a great accomplishment and they really played well.”

As the lights dimmed, the crowd became hushed and the students began playing several familiar songs from Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 and No. 2. Songs such as “Morning Mood” and “In the Hall of the Mountain King” were enjoyed by all in attendance. Other songs of the first act included “Anitra’s Dance” and “Peer Gynt’s Homecoming.”

Hafey also said that the students have been preparing since August.

“We meet twice a week, two hours a week, since the beginning of the semester,” Hafey said.

After a brief intermission, the students that are members of the Keyboard Ensemble class returned to the stage to perform several duets and one quartet.

Several numbers from German composer Johannes Brahms’ Hungarian Dance filled the auditorium.

The final act, “Invitation to the Dance,”

by Carl Maria von Weber, was performed by four of the students at once.

Hafey explained before the students began that the piece represented a man finally earning a dance with a woman, after several rejections.

The pair danced for several minutes before parting ways. After the song concluded, the students returned to the stage one last time to take a bow and receive a well-earned round of applause.

Hafey also mentioned that the Keyboard Ensemble is for any student in the school with piano background and they can participate in duets and collaborative music with other pianists.

The next event will be the Wind Symphony and Community Band, 7 p.m., Dec. 3, in the Memorial Hall Auditorium.

Giving Multiple Sclerosis the old ‘What for’ Sarah Townsend Lifestyles Editor “My grandma can run faster than you!”

That is what a 6-year-old Jayme Nunes yelled at the runners when her father took her to watch a cross country race for the first time. Little did Jayme know that she would join those runners in their mad-dash for the finish line.

Her first experience with running came with her first job in fifth grade. She had gotten a paper route and would rush home and run the entire paper route to get done as fast as she could. From there, her love for running grew. She started middle school cross country and then moved to the high school team when she was a freshman.

She found success in high school and got recruited to run cross country and track at Chadron State College. During her college career, she broke the indoor 5k record, and still holds the 10k record for the track and field team.

“Running has pushed me farther than I

ever thought I could go, and I am grateful for that. I am also thankful for the opportunity to put on my running shoes everyday and run for a person who has taught me that giving up is never an option,” Nunes said.

One of her biggest inspirations for running is her father, Jerry.

Just a year after Jayme was born, her father was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. MS is a potentially disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord. This disease attacks the immune system and causes connection problems between the brain and the rest of the body. And unfortunately, there is no cure for the disease.

Jayme, an Alliance native, remembers a time when her father could chase her and her siblings around the backyard and help her practice ballet. But as the disease has taken its toll on his body, he now spends

much of his time in a wheelchair.

“He faces and overcomes small battles every day and the basic tasks that I take for granted, he struggles with. However, MS could never take away his vivacious spirit or the love he has for his family,” Nunes said.

She has a close relationship with her father and remembers him and his struggles every time she laces up her running shoes. She wants to run for those who cannot. Before every race, her father calls her and says, “Give them the old ‘What for!’” This reminds Jayme to run her best and give the race her all, every time.

Recently, Jayme applied to run a section of a 3,000 mile relay across America to raise awareness and funds to help cure Multiple Sclerosis.

During the MS Run the U.S. relay, Jayme will run a 160 mile segment of the relay be-

ginning in Holdrege and finishing in Lincoln in just six days. That is roughly a marathon, everyday, for six days.

In order to participate in this relay, Jayme must raise $10,000 for the cause. She has many fundraisers planned and has a donation page set up so people can do what they can to help her reach her goal.

“I want people to realize that the donations are not for me. It means a lot to me that they donate to this cause because Multiple Sclerosis has had such an impact on my family, but their donations mean even more to the people living with the disease. I’m doing this for those who can’t. I want a cure for MS, but they (those suffering from the disease) are the ones who really need it,” Nunes said.

Jayme wants to help give MS the old “What for.” To donate or learn more about Jayme or MS Run the U.S., like the Facebook page “MS Run the US – Jayme Nunes,” at https://www.facebook.com/ msruntheusjaymenunes/?notif_t=page_fan , or contact Jayme at her email jaymernunes@ gmail.com.
