More treats than tricks

SEMPER VERITAS

CDC youngsters trick-ortreat across campus Melanie Nelson News Editor The kids at the CSC Childhood Development Center paraded around campus in their Halloween costumes while trickor-treating Monday morning.

Lona Downs, the CDC director, said the kids had multiple stops in nearly every building on campus. Downs had sent out a prior email to all faculty and staff inviting them to participate in giving out candy. She said the CDC trick-or-treating tradition started before she took over three years ago, and remains a hit with the children.

“The kids get really excited as Halloween nears,” Assistant Teacher Miranda Loveless said.

“They’ve all been talking about their costumes for weeks!”

Ruby Mullis, 3, who went as Lilo from “Lilo and Stitch,” said

trick-or-treating on campus was her favorite part of Halloween.

“I was a witch, to scare people!” Kendall Sellman, 5, said.

Dressed as a ninja, William Clymer, 4, was most excited to get “the pink candy,” as that is his favorite flavor.

Having her grandpa and grandma over to pass out candy and play Halloween games, particularly “toss the paper cat,” was Marcella Koehn, 4, favorite part of the holiday. She dressed up as Gekko from the Disney Junior series “PJ Masks” because “it’s a pretty cool show.”

Ignacio Jaeger, 3, was pumped to be his favorite superhero, Spider-Man, and was happy to find a lot of suckers in his bag.

Loveless said holidays bring a fun change of pace for the kids, and next up the teachers will be planning some Thanksgiving activities.

More than once, the moderator, David Nesheim, interim director-assessment of academic affairs, asked, “Did I mention there’s cookies?”

Arguing in support of lowering the drinking age was Aaron Eagle, 22, senior of Chadron; Brittney Palmer, 19, sophomore of LaGrange, Wyoming; and Justin Mohr, 20, sophomore of Kimble. Opposing was Cristian Hulsey, 20, junior of Alliance; Keeya Marquez, 19, junior of Cedgwic, Colorado; and Keziah Johnson, 19, sophomore of Dickinson, North Dakota.

Senate plans to discuss 5 topics at open forum Senate said it will be live streaming the forum so students who cannot attend may participate online Jordyn Hulinsky Managing Editor

Senate allocated $850 for an election day watch-party event, and prepared for many other allocations next week after the open forum at 5 p.m. today in the Student Center. Senate President Katrina Hurley said that she plans to live stream today’s open forum on Facebook to allow students to give their input through comments on Facebook.

The agenda for the forum will include the Christmas tree decorating event, “Student Health 101” magazine subscription, an inflatable mascot, Senate incentives and/or scholarships, and the Peru State College Senate Conference.

Hurley presented a suggestion for Senate to host an election watch-party Tuesday in the Student Center. Senate allocated $850 for the event. For decorations, $100; food from Dining Services, $400; and prizes, $350.

Vice President Karson Langley proposed a Christmas tree decorating event.

Langley said they got the idea for a Christmas tree auction from Wayne State College senators on the Senate trip to Peru State College Thursday and Friday.

Senate is going to buy a 3-foot tree for every club that wants to participate.

Clubs will purchase decorations and the decorated trees will be on display for a

silent auction open to the entire community. The money will be given to the local Care and Share Drive to buy Christmas presents for children who are less fortunate.

Tree decorating would take place between Nov. 28-Dec. 2. Senate would then invite students and community members to bid on the decorated trees from Dec. 5-12. The one who bids the most would be allowed to take the tree home, and the money raised would go to buying Christmas presents for underprivileged children. A concern was brought up with how this fundraiser would work with the Foundation Office. The event was referred to a committee appointed by Hurley to look into details of the event.

Pat Beu, senior director of student affairs, said that the subscription for the magazine “Student Health 101” is coming up in the near future. The yearly subscription is $4,100. The amount will be voted on at Monday’s meeting, or in an online vote if the subscription is due before Monday.

Beu said according to the stats he receives from the magazine, in October there were 744 visits to the site, and from a survey of 160 students, 74 percent said they would take what they’ve read and apply it to their daily lives.

Sen. Josh Mayer brought a proposal for an inflatable mascot. The mascot’s potential name would be Lil’ Elmo, and would cost about $4,300.

Mayer brought in a quote from Alex Helmbrecht, director of college relations, that stated he thought the inflatable mascot “is a fine idea.” Adviser Susan Schaeffer asked Mayer to check with the athletic department and cheer team to see if they have funds for a mascot so Student Senate would not have to cover the costs of the mascot.

In addressing questions about why there needs to be two mascots, Mayer said in the Elmo costume, it is hard to move,

it’s hot, and the head easily falls off. Mayer said from his experience in the mascot, he couldn’t be as active and move around as much as he would have liked because the outfit is not ideal for that.

Five senators, five senate executives, two CAB executives and one adviser, went to Peru State College, Peru, last week for a meeting of senators from WSC, PSC, and CSC. Hurley said that the senators discussed how to be better servant leaders and shared ideas on how to improve all three campuses.

Hurley said PSC has the same company of Dining Service as CSC does and they, after three years, were able to get their food services open during breaks.

Hurley said she will be receiving their proposals and what they did to try and speed up the process here.

Senators also said that at WSC there are cars that pick up students at parties so they aren’t drinking and driving. The cars can also be used for students who do not have cars.

Hurley said that last year Senate brought up the idea of an Uber-type system but there were problems with liability with the school. WSC pays about $80,000 a year for the cost. Senators will continue to look at the options available.

Student Trustee Coy Clark said that the student trustee from Wayne State College is working at trying to get the student trustees a vote on issues at the Nebraska State College System’s Board of Trustees.

Hurley planned to appoint a new senator at the meeting, but he was unable to attend because “he has an essay due in like an hour,” Hurley said. But Hurley was able to appoint Sen. Mikayla Gallagher to a justice of the court. Senate approved and Gallagher resigned her position as senator. There are now no liberal arts senators as part of Senate.

Chief Justice Sam Merrill read an opinion of the Court that asked for a mo-

tion to impeach Sen. Clayton Hinmann for five unexcused absences. A petition to impeach was filed by Sen. Carly Slaght.

Beu said there will be interviews for someone to take Associate Athletic Director Chris Green’s spot as student activities coordinator and NPAC coordinator since Green has moved on to his new position.

The candidates will be having lunch in the cafeteria at noon today and Friday and students are invited to attend.

Senators are interested in starting a committee called the Dorms and Grounds Committee. Clark originally proposed creating this committee at the Oct. 24 meeting.

The reason for the committee is because the Campus Improvement Committee only has five members taking on almost all of the Student Senate’s issues.

The committee would take on the tasks that deal with the dorm issues on campus.

The Campus Improvement Committee would fix other issues on campus.

Senators will vote on creating this committee next week after looking at the Campus Improvement Committee’s bylaws to see if there are overlapping issues.

Sen. Jessica Hartman reminded senators that a petition for the library to be open on Saturday has been emailed out to all the senators. Hartman suggested senators try to get all of their signatures by Monday so the petition can move forward.

Sen. Michael Stuebe said that there have been multitudes of complaints about the heat being turned on already.

He asked what decides the heat being turned on. No answers were given at Monday’s meeting.

Schaeffer said that faculty members at WSC and PSC talked about having rooms of puppies during finals week and suggested Senate looks into getting that for finals week here. She said there are mental health benefits from animals.

Vice President of Finance Curtis Steven reported $89,818.10 in projected funds.

CAB approves $500 to club for publication project Melanie Nelson News Editor CAB approved a $500 allocation to Sigma Tau Delta, the English honor society, at CAB’s weekly meeting Tuesday night.

Jessica Hanks, the club’s president, came to ask for the money to print 150 copies of the “Tenth Street Miscellany.”

The printing cost is estimated to be a little more than $1,000, and the English department is giving the club $575.

Vice President of Academic Affairs Charles Snare and Interim Assessment Director David Nesheim came to give a brief follow up from the results of the general assembly last week, where student leaders discussed the National Survey of Student Engagement.

Nesheim said that the students raised different concerns about advising and communication between faculty and staff that gave some insight into possible areas to improve on.

Snare said there will be a luncheon at

noon, Friday, Nov. 18, for faculty, staff, and student leaders to discuss the results together.

He encouraged the CAB members to go back to their clubs and think about other issues they may have with advising, collaborative learning, and relationships between faculty and staff, and bring those concerns as well as possible solutions to the luncheon.

If club representatives wish to attend the luncheon, they need to email CAB Chair Molly O’Connell.

O’Connell announced that Senate has a petition to open the CSC library on Saturdays, and those interested in signing it should contact a senator.

Vice Chair of Finance Gavan Archibald reported that the total spent by clubs is $27,998.03, and the total remaining is $176,506.20. The total spent

by CAB was $3,548.86, and the total remaining was $12,879.14.

Archibald is looking for one CAB member to fill an open position on the Activity Fee Board. He also announced that there will be a Husker Watch Party at 5:45 p.m.

Saturday in The Hub. Adviser Deena Kennell invited clubs to attend an open session meet-and-greet with the two candidates for Chris Green’s former position as student activities and NPAC coordinator. There will be two sessions; 1 p.m. Thursday in the Bordeaux Room, and 2 p.m. Friday in the Ponderosa Room.

Senate Vice President Karson Langley and Student Trustee Coy Clark brought up a new holiday fundraiser to donate to charity. Langley said they got the idea for a Christmas tree auction from Wayne State College senators on the Senate trip to Peru State College last week.

Senate will buy a 3-foot tree for every club that wants to participate. Clubs will purchase decorations and the decorated trees will be on display for a silent auction open to the entire community. The money will be given to the local Care and Share Drive to buy Christmas presents for children who are less fortunate.

“We’re doing this to fundraise for the community as a way to give back. Student

Senate, nobody will be profiting from this.”

Langley said. “We are strictly taking time out of our busy schedules to give back.”

There are guidelines for the decorations, including no curse words, sexual puns, or lude images. The Student Senate Executive Board will take down any tree that they find to be inappropriate.

Clubs must sign up at the CAB meeting Tuesday if they want to participate.

O’Connell said that CAB could possibly give a $50 budget to clubs that want to participate, so they can buy decorations.

Tree decorating will be from Nov. 28 to Dec. 2. The silent auction will be from Dec. 5-12, and the trees will be given to the highest bidder at a holiday party in the Student Center.

O’Connell announced that Paul Wesselmann, “The Ripples Guy,” will be returning to campus 7 p.m. today in the Student Center Ballroom.

Vice Chair of Relations Trista Schell said Nov. 8, 16, and 17, are all open dates that clubs can sign up to help serve at Closer to Home.

SOCIAL SCIENCE DEBATE

Mohr responded to Hulsey with direct counter arguments before Palmer delivered the rebuttal for the group in support.

She listed more reliable sources for the arguments made by Eagle. She added that most adolescents begin college at 18 and as underage drinkers, they may be less likely to seek help in drinking-related incidents because they fear legal punishment.

Rather than prohibiting young adults from drinking and possibly endangering them more, provide them with something similar to driver’s education to prevent tragedies.

Not all alcohol would have to be legalized for people under 21. Palmer suggested legalizing beer and wine, but maintaining the current legal age for hard liquors.

“It’s not a right to drink,” Johnson began when she delivered the opposition’s rebuttal. Her response focused

from page 2 on more of the fact based evidence they had already put forth.

“Kids deserve our respect in their ability to handle this,” Mohr said at the beginning of the closing remarks for the supporters. He suggested that, if adolescents were allowed to drink earlier, they would learn more about alcohol as they grow so that “the day they’re legal for it, they are ready for it.”

Marquez rehashed the facts in the closing remarks for the opposition.

Both teams did well but the supporters needed to clarify their resources better, according to the judges.

The majority of evidence provided by the opposition were correlations and the supporting group should have focused on that reasoning, the judges said.

The judges determined the opposition the winner. There were roughly 15 attendants.

We’re with him—Trump for president While America was founded on the premise of freedom and choice, many Americans feel trapped and frustrated by the political institutions that are now governing our nation. Corrupt politicians and lobbyists swarm the Capitol, manipulating power for their own benefit at the expense of the average citizen.

This discontent isn’t confined to only citizens but stretches to affect politicians alike. As Donald Trump took the stage, he ignored traditional protocol and convention on his way to securing the Republican presidential nomination and the wake he left was strong enough to disrupt the carefully crafted throngs of Hillary Clinton’s socialist supporters.

Though it has been easy to be complacent while the candidates traversed the campaign trail, it is crunch time, and a decision will be made within the week. The carnival acts of the campaigns and social media sideshows have been a clever distraction from the significant issues that are actually at play.

Our allies throughout the world have to sit back and watch as America falls from its position of strong leadership. In the wake of that retreat, a rush of conflict

has ensued to fill that gap.

Supporters of Clinton’s campaign stand and argue that she is better fit to be president because she is the most likely to follow in the footsteps of those who preceded her, and these same people are terrified of the change the Trump might bring to the table. Clinton has even promised to lead us down the same path. She will cuddle up to the ways of Washington like a child would to its favorite blanket.

However, Trump brings corporate experience and determination to the table. He has the mind of a businessman and knows that the past eight years have pushed us to an almost $20 trillion debt (The Washington Times), and to continue down the same path would only magnify that problem.

He understands what it takes to make a market sustainable to the small businesses that are the heart and soul of America.

He has the foresight to see that federal regulations and mandates like Obamacare threaten to crush the rib cage of America, stopping her heart in an instant.

Of even greater importance is the U.S. Supreme Court. The next president will be charged with filling one or maybe

MAN ON THE STREET

we asked:

more vacancies, which has a lasting impact on the court’s direction for a generation. Trump recognizes that nominees must honor the Constitution’s checks on federal authority whereas Clinton has already expressed support for empowering censorship on political speech, and has even suggested a ban on movies and books. She has rewritten the First Amendment under the guise of campaign finance reform, and this speaks to the judgment she would have when it comes to high-court nominees.

Do not be mistaken, Trump’s impulsive behavior and overheated rhetoric has alienated many voters. He has a hard time accepting criticism and would be well off to take a lesson from the book of humility.

Neither candidate will ever be called to the dais to accept any awards for moral values or character. But Trump does not represent the danger his critics shout from the rooftops of the liberal media.

However, Trump does represent the source of disruption and discomfort to the privileged, lined-pocketed, political, elites that America needs to wake back up.

Donald Trump for president.

OPINION

csceagle.com | The Eagle | NOV. 3, 2016

Take a look at the third-party presidential nominees Caleb Wiederhold Cartoonist As you probably know, the two frontrunners for this year’s election are Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, and many people are not a fan of either of them, including me.

The question to be asked now is if we should really vote for one of these two candidates or look into other options. So, I researched third-party candidates. You may be asking yourself: Why pick a third-party candidate, if they’re not going to win? For me, it’s my way of saying that I’m glad I didn’t vote for Clinton or Trump. But, in order to say yes to a third party candidate, you have to do your research.

First, the Libertarian Party presidential nominee is Gary Johnson.

This man is the former governor of New Mexico and former Republican

that turned Libertarian in 2012. He is a social liberal and is pro-life, for protecting guns rights, legalizing marijuana, term limits, and the Keystone pipeline, and opposes ‘building a wall’ on the Mexico border.

However, it seems that he’s not smarter than he looks. He asked what Aleppo, a city in Syria, was and there are people claiming he doesn’t know Kim Jon-un’s name.

To make matters worse, he doesn’t seem to think alike with his vice presidential running mate William Weld on Hillary. Weld said in

an interview that Hillary might be the most qualified to be president (to which I say, not!).

Next on the third-party list is Jill Stein with the Green Party. Stein stands for many things that she thinks should be rights, such as jobs, health care, and education. She also stands for gun control, giving rights to the people, ending poverty, and creating a green new deal. Her website states she plans to “create millions of jobs by transitioning to 100 percent clean renewable energy by 2030, and investing in public transit, sustainable agriculture, and conservation.”

The downside for Stein is that she has an arrest warrant. Because she was a part of the protests in North Dakota, regarding the Keystone pipeline.

Next comes the Constitution Party’s Darrell Castle. This guy is pro-life and believes in removing the United States from the United Nations,

NATO, and other organizations. According to the Libertarian Republic website, a few things he believes in are banning all immigrants, opposing term limits, eminent domain, and holding gun creators responsible for the weapons of destruction they have created, even though he supports the Second Amendment.

Even with all that being said, Glenn Beck, an American television and radio host, has been quoted saying that he will vote for Darrell Castle.

Then comes the Reform Party candidate and businessman Rocky De La Fuente. He is a former Democrat who tried to run for the Democratic nomination, but decided to switch to third-party when that didn’t work out. He stands for fixing foreign policy, Medicare, the economy, operation systems, and education policy.

The sad part is, he’s not getting much attention and is not close to

Learn a lesson from this year’s election Jordyn Hulinsky Managing Editor In five days, America votes.

America will select the next president of the United States. We have only five days. In five days, either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton will win the presidential election. Isn’t that funny; isn’t that simply hilarious that one of these ridiculous candidates will actually be leading our country?

It was maybe funny when the election season started and Deez Nuts was allowed to register as an independent presidential candidate and was actually on the polls. It was maybe funny when Twitter exploded with jokes of Trump actually becoming president, and it was maybe funny when jokes were made about Clinton’s dishonesty.

But suddenly, the joke is on us and it is not funny anymore.

The reality is that we have to now vote for one of these ridiculous candidates to run this country

because we are out of time and out of options.

In elementary, adults tell us that we can be anything we want to be when we grow up, and if we set ourselves on the right track, I believe we can. And many of us dream to be president of the United States when we are young, but once we reach the adult stage of our lives, we realize that job is not open and appropriate for everyone. And these candidates showcase that.

So, it is not going to be easy to decide which box to check on Tuesday. It will not be easy because all of the candidates have major flaws this year. We do not have a saving grace from any of the candidates.

And getting educated about the candidates is not going to be any easier than actually picking one. And that, we can credit to the fact that Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and memes crowd the Internet. Trying to weed through the jokes, funny videos, and hilarious memes online to get to the real information about the candidates is difficult and distracting, because yes, they are funny. But what is more important, the video remix of Trump saying wrong at the debate or the actual issues that Trump and Hillary debated on? From what I have witnessed on social media, the funny things are sent around much more often and much easier.

It is a joke that we have to work through all the clutter and memes to make it to the real substance.

Social media is a great resource and it is a way to share thoughts, have discussions, and you can use social media to benefit you, but that is not what we did this election season.

We, as citizens of America,

made this entire election a joke.

We can and we probably will blame the candidates, but we did this. Americans allowed these candidates to make it this far and we allowed the issues to take a backseat to the jokes. That is on us.

I just hope and pray every day that America is strong enough to survive these next four years with one of these knuckleheads in office, and then I pray even harder that Americans will not allow this to happen again.

In the next four years, let’s take a step back from the jokes and start looking at the seriousness of the election. Look at the fact that we need someone honest, genuine, and appropriate leading this country, and not allow jokes and being funny to take control of the election in the next four years.

Other countries of the world are laughing at us now, and our punishment for being funny is these candidates; let’s not do this to ourselves again, America.

being on top of the polls. Not only that, he’s also currently running for a Florida Senate seat as a Democrat.

Attempting to run for a President and Senate at the same time may not have been his best move.

Next comes an Independent Party candidate Evan McMullin, who is a Utah native, former CIA operative and BYU graduate. He supports the Second Amendment, religious freedom, free trade, and opposes abortion demands. After watching an interview, I have to say he’s smarter than he looks. There was a little I didn’t agree with, but I feel like he knows what he’s doing and is smarter than Johnson, even more sane and stable.

While there’s two you-knowwho’s in the election, you could pick these third-party candidates, just to say you didn’t vote for them. However, it’s your decision to make and not mine.

& Cheers

Jeers

Cheers to the father that handed out candy on a crosscountry flight so that his 3-year-old daughter could go trick-or-treating.

Jeers to the scientists that halted the study of a male contraceptive after 20 participants left the study reporting side effects such as mood swings, acne, and depression—the same side effects associated with female contraceptive methods.

Cheers to the Chicago Cubs and the Cleveland Indians going to seven games in the 2016 World Series.

We need voters who wish to participate in the process.”

Colorado School of Mines’ Orediggers pounded the Eagles, Saturday winning 40-14 in Golden, Colorado. The Orediggers outscored the Eagles in all but the fourth quarter, where each team scored 7.

“We are a lot better than what we displayed against Mines,” Cody Paul, senior of Seal Beach, California, said. “They played a good game, and we missed some opportunities that could have put us in a better spot in the game.”

The Eagles turned the ball over twice in each quarter, including interceptions from CSC’s quarterback Matt Vinson, junior of Box Elder, South Dakota, once in each of the first three quarters, and a fumble by Paul in the fourth. But Demetrius McFadden, redshirt freshman of Pahokee, Florida, grabbed an interception of his own in the third quarter, and Collin Eisenman, junior of Sheridan, Wyoming, recovered a fumble in the fourth.

Vinson was still able to complete 23 of 39 for 205 passing yards, which contributed to the 303 total offensive yards. Mines marked 644 total yards and 384 passing, with quarterback Justin Dvorak, senior of Tombell, Texas, completing 30 of 41, and five touchdowns, which allowed Dvorak to tie the Mines and RMAC single-season passing touchdown record of 39. He broke the RMAC career total offensive yards record at 13,320.

With the win, Mines maintains its hunt for the RMAC football title. As of now, they are one of three two-loss teams.

CSC only scored once in the second and fourth quarters whereas CSM scored in every quarter. Vinson first found Jackson Dickerson, redshirt freshman of Chadron, for a 16-yard touchdown, which was Dickerson’s only reception. Jack Dobyns, junior of Tucson, Arizona, and Colt Foster, redshirt freshman of Hemingford, led in receptions with five each for 47 and 40 yards, respectively.

Paul rushed for a four-yard touchdown in the fourth. Paul recorded six for 20 yards and Derek Jackson, junior of Pueblo West, Colorado, led the Eagle rushers with nine carries for 55 yards. As a team, the Eagles only rushed 25 times and passed only 42 times.

Joey Hopkins, senior of Burien, Washington, led the Eagle tacklers with a career-high 15, which was also the most by an Eagle this season. Keenan Johnson, redshirt freshman of Chadron, followed with 11, and Devante Thomas, senior of Baltimore, Maryland, recorded 6, including one for a loss.

will be against Black Hills State University, Spearfish, South Dakota, Saturday at Elliott Field, with kickoff set for noon.

“I’m focused on getting the win Saturday, and correcting the mistakes we made Saturday,” Hopkins said. “This is the last home game I will play, but I am trying to not focus on that and just on playing the best game I can.”

This week’s game will be senior day. There are 16 seniors on the team.

“Senior day is something special to me, especially this year,” punter Zach Smith, senior of Gering, said. “I know our guys will put last week behind us and go out and put on a show one last time in front of our amazing fans. Black Hills is a good team; we had a tough time with them last year at their place.

I know that us seniors will do everything possible to walk off Elliott Field for the last time with a win. We have to have our best effort on offense, defense, and special teams to come out on top.”

32 wrestlers on roster to start season Janelle Kesterson Opinion Editor The Chadron State wrestling team began practice Oct. 10, signaling the beginning of the winter sports season. Head Coach Brett Hunter has 32 men on the roster this season.

There are 10 returning lettermen, 10 returning squad men, 10 true freshmen and two transfer students. The lettermen include seniors Reed Burgener, of Douglas, Wyoming; Josh Miller, of Bennett, Colorado; and Taylor Summers, of Plymouth; juniors Jacob Anderson, of Central City; Chance Helmick, of Beatrice; and Johnny Porter, of Bellevue; and sophomores Copper Cogdill, of Chadron; Brandon Kile, of Hastings; Shane Rodenburg, of Kent City, Michigan; and Brock Thumm, of Watervliet, Michigan.

Anderson was a starter for the Eagles his first two years at Chadron State, but missed most of last season due to a shoulder injury.

The transfer students include former Nebraska State Champion Willy Cogdill, of Chadron, who redshirted at the University of Wyoming, Laramie, last season; and Tristan Ezell, junior of Buckeye, Arizona, who wrestled for Southwest Minnesota State University, Marshall, before coming to CSC.

D2Wrestle.com released the regional rankings last week after the 15 coaches of the NCAA South Central region voted to rank the region’s top eight wrestlers in each weight class.

Chadron State College wrestlers ranked in the top five in six out of 10 weight classes, and the team was ranked No. 9 out of the 15 teams.

Summers, CSC’s returning national qualifier, was ranked No. 2 in the region at 133-pounds, coming off of a secondplace finish at the 2016 regional tournament. The only wrestler in the region ranked above Summers is Martin Ramirez, of Adams State. Summers defeated Ramirez at the 2016 regional tournament in Gunnison, Colorado, but lost to him twice: once at the home dual and once in the RMAC Championship finals.

Summers is also ranked No. 10 at 133-pounds in the National Wrestling Coaches Association top-10 rankings.

Ramirez is ranked ahead of him at eighth.

At 141-pounds, Luke Zeiger, junior of Glasgow, Montana, is ranked No. 4 in the region. Two of Zeiger’s five losses last season were to D-I wrestlers from Wyoming and Nebraska, and one was to an eventual All-American from UNK. Returning at 157-pounds is Anderson, a three-time Nebraska high school state champion. Anderson finished the 2014-15 season as an All-RMAC honorable mention recipi-

ent going 21-10 with a UNK Holiday Inn Open champion and two wins over Newman University, Wichita, Kansas, wrestler Tyler Mies, who is now the top-ranked wrester at 149-pounds. Anderson was granted a hardship waiver after encountering a shoulder injury that allows him to repeat his junior year of eligibility.

Helmick is moving from 165-pounds to 174-pounds this season. Last season at 165, Helmick was the RMAC runner-up and earned second team All-Conference honors. Rodenburg, at 165-pounds, and Cogdill, at heavyweight, are both ranked No. 5 in the regional poll.

Chadron State was voted into the fifth spot on the preseason poll, earning 31 points. The Eagles came away with a sixth place finish in the 2016 RMAC Championship. The preseason poll is voted on by the conference’s nine head coaches, with eight points awarded for first place, continuing in descending order. Coaches were not allowed to vote for their own team.

Ouachita Baptist University, Arkadelphia, Arkansas, will also be joining the region this season.

The Eagles will begin their competitive season at the Cowboy Open Tournament hosted by the University of Wyoming Saturday.

Men’s team adjusting to new position Preston Goehring Sports Editor Last season’s record— 7-19, 5-17 in the RMAC. Tonight, a new era in a struggling program begins under first-year Head Coach Houston Reed. Previously at Otero Junior College, LaJunta, Colorado, Reed led the men’s team to a 27-6 record, and a NJCAA Region IX South Conference Championship.

With only seven returning players on the roster, Reed has been busy all summer, recruiting new talents and faces to the program with the hope of turning it around.

“We are really excited for the opportunity to compete,” Coach Reed said. “The guys are excited to play against someone else.”

CSC hasn’t earned a winning season since 2001-02.

The Eagles were picked to finish 14th out of 15 teams in the RMAC. The Eagles’ leading scorer from a season ago Warren Gordon, senior of Indianapolis, returns and is looking to lead the team at the guard position.

Coach Raymer leads women’s team into new season Preston Goehring Sports Editor The women’s basketball team has another week before opening its season at the University of Wyoming, Laramie, on Nov. 11. First-year Head Coach Janet Raymer will attempt to improve from last year’s 8-18 finish, 8-14 in the RMAC. Raymer isn’t a new face to the program, as she served as the coaching assistant for the last two seasons. Raymer’s promotion was announced July 5.

Another familiar face joined the team in a new role.

Former player Emma Block is now on the roster as a coaching assistant. Block led the team in 3-point percentage at 34.1 percent last season.

Last season the Eagles averaged more than 61 points per game, but lost a lot of offensive opportunities, averaging 18 turnovers.

The Eagles were picked to finish 12th in the RMAC Preseason Coaches’ Poll. Notable returnees include Keeley Pearce, sophomore of Adelaide, Australia, and Erin Graham, senior of Deland, Florida. Pearce was an efficient shooter last season, shooting 32 percent from the field.

Graham, is an all-around player, utilizing her speed to

average more than one steal a game and just under five rebounds, despite here 5-foot-5-inch frame. She also averaged nine points per game, to go along with a 40 percent shooting average.

Other notable returnees include a pair of seniors Maddie Metzger, of Georgetown, Texas, and Havannah Newens, of Mitchell. Metzger stands 5’11” and primarily plays in the post, but can step outside the 3-point line and shoot. Last season in 22 games, she shot 36 percent from the field and 32.3 from long range. Newens also possesses the ability to shoot from outside and shoots 66 percent from the field.

Raymer also brought in a handful of talented transfer students to fill the roster.

Junior Kalli Fedderson, of Rawlins, Wyoming, averaged more than 10 points per game, while playing at Western Nebraska Community College, in Scottsbluff, helping the Cougars win the NJCAA Region IX South Championship.

Another transfer, Kendra Baucom, junior of Colorado Springs, Colorado, joined the team after two seasons at McCook Community College. Standing 6 feet tall, Baucom will be a big help in the paint, filling the shoes vacated by former Eagle star, Maka Daysh. Baucom, led Region IX in rebounds while at MCC, averaging more than 12 per game along with 7.4 points.

6, ridicuous; 8, hate it; 7, magnificent

Caleb Wiederhold Cartoonist It seems that lately, there have been Western movies with titles that show the number of main characters and an adjective in front describing the characters. Two examples would be “The Hateful Eight” and “The Ridiculous 6.”

“The Hateful Eight” is serious and though it earned good reviews on the Internet, my parents loathed the movie and warned me not to watch it, which I obliged to. Then, there’s Netflix’s “The Ridiculous 6,” which was panned and despised by critics.

However, just recently in theaters, there was “The Magnificent Seven.”

It’s about seven sharpshooters and fighters hired by Emma Cullen, played by Haley Bennett (and no, it’s not Jennifer Lawrence in the film; don’t be fooled), to bring down a corrupt and greedy industrialist Bartholomew Bogue, played by Peter Sarsgaard, after he took over a small town.

“The Magnificent Seven” consists of an African-American warrant officer and leader Sam Chisolm, played by Denzel Washington, then followed by the gambler Joshua Faraday, played by Chris Pratt, the sharpshooter Good night Robicheaux, played by Ethan Hawke, an Asian assassin Billy Rock, played by Byunghun Lee, a Mexican outlaw Vasquez, played by

If you do your research, you can fly for cheap. Check the options available to save time and money

A Travel Column for College Students

By Stephanie Steele The age-old debate what’s worth more, time or money?

A classic example would be airfare.

Flying is the fastest mode of transportation, but it can cause your piggy bank to

have a hollow sound. Just like all things, there are money saving tips if you know where to look.

Knowing a money reliable ticket sale website is crucial. Everyone claims they know a guy or they have a website they use but not every website is legitimate.

Checking specific airline flights like Southwest, Frontier, Delta are all legitimate but may not give you the best deals.

Airlines will run specials where flights can be dirt cheap. Make sure to read the terms and restrictions with these sales.

Friday and Saturday flights do not apply to many airline sales because those are the busiest travel days. Following airlines on social media, joining their email list, or frequently checking the company

websites will help you save a lot of money.

There are travel companies that specialize in collegiate travel and offer college-student-only deals. One of these companies is studentuniverse.com.

International travel is made easy by using StudentUniverse with large savings.

When I purchased a plane ticket to Spain, StudentUniverse saved me more than $400 on airfare. Using studentuniverse. com can also save you money on hotels.

A major money-saver is knowing when to buy a plane ticket. Ticket prices are at their highest when flying on a Friday or Saturday because of the high volume of travelers. Flying during the beginning of the week will have the largest money-saving results.

Plane tickets are also cheapest to purchase online after 3 p.m. Tuesdays, six weeks before departure. This seems like a specific time but that is when flight prices are finalized so that is when you’re bound to get the best price.

With everything else in travel, the best deals come from cost comparison.

Check various websites like Expedia, Travelocity, and StudentUniverse to find which airline is offering the best price.

During the comparison process, also check prices with different dates. Moving the dates you fly, even by one day, can result in more than $100 in savings.

RLA attempts to tell future Kira Fish Reporter Members of the Residence Life Association demonstrated different forms of divination for students at a fortune telling event in The Hub from 7-9 p.m. Friday.

In honor of the Halloween season, members of the RLA put their fortune telling talents to use for around 30 students who filtered in and out during the event.

The different forms of fortune telling included palm reading, tarot cards, rune casting, and tea leaf reading, as well as a looped television slideshow of predictions for the signs of the Greek Zodiac.

“It’s definitely very unique,” RLA representative and one of the palm readers, Barbara Pieper, 19, sophomore of Mitchell, said.

Some of the fortune tellers have prac-

ticed their talent for months or years, such as one palm reader who learned from a family member as a child and has spent years perfecting her techniques.

Others had been working on their talents for a few days in preparation for the fortune telling event.

Fortune tellers at the event practiced different forms of fortune telling as well as discussing the history, cultural origins, their practices and how the predictions are translated.

The RLA provided drinks and snacks—including dozens of fortune cookies—for the event. The hosts also gave out door prizes at intervals to various guests.

The prizes included a set of tarot cards and runes, as well as books on reading tea leaves, a dream dictionary, candy, soda, a body pillow, DVDs, a coffee mug, a hamper, and a hand-held vacuum cleaner.

‘Crimson Peak’ performs weak Brianna Wilson Reporter Ghosts, love, and scandal: “Crimson Peak” is a movie that tells an interesting story of jealousy, sibling bonds and a dark family past.

Based in the Victorian era, Edith Cushing has dreams of one day becoming a renowned author. Her stories are focused around a tragedy from her childhood—the loss of her mother at a relatively young age. She writes of ghosts, only to be told she should stick to writing romances; a much more suitable genre for a young lady.

Her childhood friend, Alan, is an aspiring doctor. When he returns from his schooling, a bit of tension as well as childhood fantasies spark between them.

But when an intriguing stranger, Thomas Sharpe, and his sister, Lucille, come to visit America, seeking to sell Thomas’ invention, Edith is captivated. Thomas has all the right things to say about her writing.

After only a few short days in America, Edith and Thomas apparently fall for each other like love at first sight.

Cheesy.

After the tragic death of her father and a proposal she apparently couldn’t resist (despite having known Thomas for only a few days), Edith is ushered off to England to live in an impressive mansion. Or it would be if the roof wasn’t caving in and the floorboards sinking into the ground.

She doesn’t follow the rules, just like every other person in a horror movie and it ends up getting her in trouble—go figure.

After Edith and Thomas spend a night away from the house in town (apparently an act that made Lucille angry), the entire storyline goes up in flames.

In the same day that Thomas and Edith return, Edith breaks even more rules, which causes her to discover a terrible secret (typical). Lucille tries to off her to conceal it, Thomas tries to save her, blah, blah, blah.

The bottom line is: the idea of the story had lots of potential. But through poor writing and poor directing, it became a rather

large flop.

Let’s count the faults, shall we?

One: Thomas and Edith hit it off right away.

Two: Edith’s father bribes Thomas and Lucille to take off.

Three: Edith’s father gets murdered at the same time as Edith finds out Thomas hasn’t actually left and Thomas is there to comfort her when she confirms the body. Even though she’s known Alan far longer.

Four: Thomas is never in bed when Edith wakes up and needs him.

Five: Lucille is overly upset, as in angry, that Edith and Thomas stayed away from the house for only one night.

Six: Edith suddenly decides to break the rules and discovers a whole round of disturbing things­—among them that the children were the cause of their mother’s death.

(Uhm, hello? You already know the children were the only ones in the house when the mother died and she died with an axe in her head. I don’t think she dropped it there on her own).

Seven: Lucille is the bad guy. (Really???

I had no idea. She doesn’t act angry about Edith and Thomas or the fact that Edith is there or crazy at all really. She just acts perfectly normal. It’s such a shocker. NOT.) Eight: In general, the climax moves way too fast. There’s almost no time for the viewer to take in what is happening, which sort of helps the shock factor at the end but that’s about it.

Nine: Almost everybody dies. Because of Lucille. (Well she’s obviously crazy throughout the whole movie, so . . .)

The whole movie wasn’t bad though, don’t misunderstand.

The idea for the story was good, it had a nice plot. It started out well and had several hidden facts at the end of the story. But it all happened too fast to try and cram the entire ending into that last 30 minutes of screen time.

Despite earning a 71 percent positive on RottenTomatoes.com, overall I would give “Crimson Peak” about 3/5 stars. Maybe 3.5/5, if it’s lucky.
