Senate advisors select 3 students for leadership trip Ashley Swanson Managing Editor Senate President Dillon Spies announced that Coy Clark, 19, sophomore of Benkelman Marci Luton, Andrews Hall senator, and Courtney Bustillos, liberal arts senator were selected to attend the Leadership Conference in Orlando, Florida.

A third position opened after CAB Chair Kelsey Empfield rejected her place to go. Clark, Luton, and Bustillos were chosen out of 10 students by the Senate advisers. Their letters, along with the other seven students, were given to the advisers nameless to prevent bias.

Vice President Taylor Strong talked about the State College Leadership Conference with Peru and Wayne State Colleges from last weekend. She said being able to get to know senators from the other schools, and learn how they run their Senate and CAB was “definitely

worth it.” Spies said he heard nothing but good things about CSC and the conference from Peru and Wayne State. He also said Chadron is the only school to successfully host the conference where all three school attended.

Pat Beu, senior director of student affairs, commended Senate for their work in putting the conference together and was proud of the leadership from the group.

Senate allocated $1,433.19 for Pink-it-out T-shirts for the visiting senators and for participants at Saturday’s football game, along with bowling Friday with Peru and Wayne senators. Next week, Senate hopes to make an allocation for the food during the conference. Numbers are still being calculated, Spies said.

Spies announced that Timothy Jungquist is no longer a Senator-atLarge and his position is open as of Monday.

Fifty dollars was allocated to Purple Day for cards and candy.

Purple Day was yesterday and al-

lowed students to write nice and/or positive sayings on purple cards in support of anti-bullying, Student Activities Coordinator Laure Sinn said.

Senate Adviser Mathew Brust reminded students that next week is Advising Week, and if students haven’t signed up for classes in the spring to do so before classes fill up. He also suggested they talk with their adviser if they haven’t done so already.

Beu discussed the Student Health 101 Magazine, which was brought to Senate about a month ago.

Student Health 101 is a health and wellness magazine, which is made available to students through an email. It gives them information on all sorts of health issues and gives them healthy, easy-to-do recipies.

The magazine cost is $4,400 for a year’s subscription with a $4-500 setup fee, Beu said.

Chief Justice Jon Lordino said he fully supports the magazine. He sees alcohol abuse as an issue on-campus and thinks the magazine could bring

awareness about alcohol abuse.

“Something needs to be done with this [alcohol abuse],” Lordino said.

Luton asked if Senate could look at surveys from Wayne State College to see if students use the magazine before moving forward. Beu said he was in the process of obtaining the surveys.

Senator of Edna Taylor Osmotherly said he talked to many of his constituents and reported that most of them said they would not use the magazine at all. He said if students were not going to use the magazine then it would be throwing $4,000 to the wind. He asked if they could “put the money toward an actual program that will benefit the students.”

Senator-at-Large Katrina Hurley asked if Senate could try the magazine for a couple of months to see if students would use it, and if not, then they wouldn’t move forward with the magazine.

Spies said this was “not a do or die situation.”

CAB votes changes to bylaws, takes decision to Senate Jordyn Hulinsky Sports Editor CAB voted to change its bylaws and will take the changes to Senate for approval Monday. CAB plans to change the members of the executive board and add the position of Vice Chair of Relations. Right now, Stephanie Steele, vice chair of records, is also serving in this position. Vice Chair of Relations would “maintain public relations with Chadron State College departments and the community.”

This person would be in charge of the social media accounts for CAB. “To have a really great social media, we need another person to focus just on social media,” Steele

said.

She said as vice chair of records there are a lot of things she has to do and thinks adding the position is a good idea. With the addition of this position, the student trustee will become a non-voting body to maintain an odd number of voting executives. The roll call vote was unanimous. If Senate approves the changes to the bylaws, CAB will begin to take nominations for the position Tuesday.

The treasurer reported that CAB has $6,530 in unallocated funds.

Andy Martin, vice chair of programming, asked members from The Pit to talk about the Haunted House. The Pit planned on decorating yesterday. The Haunted House will have four sections: a jungle section, classic horror mon-

ster section, miscellaneous section, and Amityville section. The Haunted House will start at 8:30 p.m. today, and anyone who wants to help in any way can show up to help. If volunteers need help with makeup, they can show up at 8 p.m.

Steele is asking for volunteers to sit on a committee for a Quidditch tournament CAB will be hosting this fall and for volunteers for a Hunger Games committee.

Steele said CAB will have a CSC Hunger Games in the spring.

Those interested in sitting on the committees should talk to her.

Laure Sinn, CAB adviser, claimed the job as Effie Trinket for the CSC Hunger Games, and she reminded clubs about yesterday’s Purple Day. CAB Adviser Deena Kennell

thanked students for their support of the first ever fall Career Fair last week.

Student Trustee Jacob Rissler thanked and commended the members of the CAB executive board for taking time out of their schedules to attend the leadership conference this weekend.

Mackenzie Watson, member of the new sorority on campus, talked about the sorority. Xi Delta Zeta values service, stewardship, scholarship, and sisterhood, she said.

There will be an election party at 5 p.m., Tuesday in The Pit area.

They will be giving away a tablet, TV, movies, speakers, and more.

Food will be provided.

Martin said that the next free bowling night is Nov. 15 and the next free movie night is Nov. 16.

The magazine is only one outlet they could use to help with alcohol awareness. Senate can look for different resources that will educate people, but for right now “this is the best thing we’ve found,” he said.

The discussion was tabled until next Monday so that senators can look for alternatives to the magazine.

Lordino talked about the proposal Wayne State brought to the conference, which involved sexual orientation in the state college system.

Lordino asked Senate if they would approve a letter of support for Wayne to take to the Nebraska State College System Board.

Lordino said this was not currently an issue within the state college systems, but it’s a problem in various places around the world.

Senate also tabled this discussion so they could discuss the proposal with their constituents.

BRIEFS Moonlight madness set for Friday afternoon The Chadron Chamber of Commerce will host their annual Moonlight Madness block party 4-6 p.m., Oct. 31.

The event will take place downtown on Main Street. A penny carnival and costume contest will take place for all ages.

The event has been a continued tradition in Chadron for 30 plus years, Karyn Snook, office assistant of Chadron chamber of commerce, said, and is a big part of what makes Chadron a nice and welcoming community.

“The event is a lot of fun for kids 'cause they get to trick-or-treat and people from the community learn about the local businesses Chadron has to offer,” Snook said.

City council candidates talk Chadron issues Ashley Swanson Managing Editor Three open city council spots prompted seven candidates from Chadron to run for office.

The seven Chadron candidates and two candidates from Crawford addressed questions from the public Thursday during the Political Candidate Forum ahead of the Nov. 4 election.

Chadron candidates included Miles Bannan, John Coates, Levi Grant, Bryan LaPorte, Garrett Lower, Sean Waggener, and Mark Werner. Grant is up for re-election.

Each candidate was asked a series of questions including, but not limited to, why they were running for office, how they differ from their opponents, and some future goals they have if elected.

The moderators gave the candidates 90 seconds for their opening statements and one minute to answer questions.

LaPorte said he is a teacher at the middle school and has been a school administrator.

He moved to Chadron with his family and said he is in for the long haul.

Lower, Chadron State College student, wants to be more a part of the community. He believes there are “issues they can do better on,” and said the Chadron people

know what they want and he is there to be the voice of them.

Waggener is a family man has been working with people of the city to understand what it takes to be a part of the city council.

Werner is a retired Navy officer who moved to Chadron because the people are nice and, for the most part, the weather is good. He has worked in the Pentagon, touched six continents, and has years of leadership skills.

Bannan, a third generation resident of Chadron, said he wants to help Chadron seize the opportunity to grow and move forward.

Coates, a 1968 CSC graduate, taught school on the Indian reservation and likes people who solve problems rather than find blame.

Grant, current vice mayor, has served on the city council for four years, is a small business owner, and has lived in Chadron for about 30 years.

A majority of the candidates, including Waggener, Lower, Werner, Bannan, and Coates, were in favor of building a community pool in Chadron.

Grant said he is for the idea of the pool covering but not for the half-cent tax increase. He believes the city is not financially able to proceed with the project right now.

LaPorte wants to hear more about what the people want and the results of the election before using the money for the pool.

Lower believes the pool will be something that is good for kids and will promote tourism. Werner thinks of his elderly neighbors and said the rehabilitation pool will be more accessible for them instead of going to the local hotels in town.

Infrastructure was the issue candidates Coates, LaPorte, and Lower believed was most important to Chadron.

“Infrastructure is an important item to focus on,” Coates said.

He said some of the buildings are 80-100 years old and need external and internal work done to them so that they are updated.

Others, such as Bannan, focused on the needs of Chadron families who choose to move to Chadron. Grant brought up fiscal responsibilities and when it is a good time to spend money and when the city council should hold it.

Another issue brought to the candidate’s attention was the expansion of the public library. While Werner and Bannan fully sup-

port library expansion, candidates Waggener and Grant are focused on making sure there is enough money to move forward with the expansion. Grant said that in today’s world libraries are changing roles from just books to making sure there are computers available for people who may not own one. He said their [the council members’] focus -Miles Bannan should be on the City council candidate pool project and the sewer plant.

“All in good time,” Grant said. “We can’t afford it right now.”

“The city should support the library as much as it can,” Bannan said.

Other issues included if the candidates thought it was appropriate for city council members to be a part of an action group lobbying for or against an issue. Waggener, Lower, Werner, Bannan, Coates, and LaPorte said “no.” Grant said that if it was open to the general public then he saw no problem with it, no matter what group it was.

About 75 people were present during the forum, which was hosted by The Chadron Record and KCSR in the Student Center Scottsbluff Room.

strive by aspirations?” he said.

Chairman of the S.P.E.E.D.O. Committee Terry Owen and seven committee members then gave the audience more in-depth information on the pool.

The committee has been busy sharing information and educating the community on the project for months, and will continue to provide information up to the Nov. 4 election, Owen said.

The committee covered a few major areas of the pool including facility fees and rates; CSC’s initiating joint; and the -John Parton half-cent sales Pool Project Advocate tax.

C o m mittee members have reviewed financial statements from surrounding facilities, and looked at what the pool charges in Chadron, to gain knowledge of how much fees and rates would be.

Ultimately the city council will decide on the price of those items, S.P.E.E.D.O. Member Mitch Merkel said.

CSC came to the city because they didn’t

want to own their own pool, Jim Gardner, S.P.E.E.D.O. member, said. As the city pool is on state property it would be difficult for CSC to run or control the city pool. While CSC wouldn’t have control of the pool, it would be able to use it for classes and for therapeutic resources.

The half-cent sales tax must be used for the infrastructure and not emergencies, Gardner said.

It cannot be used for any projects other than the one the tax is being increased for.

If the sales tax is passed, the increase will begin about three-four months from now so that there is time for the paperwork to go through the state, he said.

One question for the committee was, what happens if stakeholders don’t meet their obligations? Tight contracts between the stakeholders and city council will be put in place so that the stakeholders cannot back out, the committee said.

The committee then went into more detail of designs of the pool project.

The walking track will be eight-tenths of a mile, and might have a raised surface so that it is not slick for people to walk on; however, the city council will ultimately have a say on what kind of material the track is made of.

Parking upgrades will be included in the $30,000 parking budget, and ideas for parking on 10th Street are also in the works.

Two slides will be installed, one straight and the other hopefully a cork screw-type slide; however, more details cannot be made until there is a contract in place.

There will be a sun deck that is included in the $6 million pool budget.

The pool will not have drainage systems into the sewer system. Usually a large hose is placed in the pool and gravity carries the water out of the pool to wherever the end of the hose is placed.

Originally there was a plan to only cover the pool, but after much thought, it was decided that a covered regular swimming pool would not benefit the public.

It was decided that a multi-purpose pool would be more economically sound for the community and funding.

Two years, 600 collective hours, and 50plus meetings have brought the committee to this point in the project. The committee is aware that there are demands for answers if the pool will be feasible and sustainable, or even worth the time put in.

“It does work,” S.P.E.E.D.O. Member Jim Mapes said, “It is sustainable.”

“

The city should support the library as much as it can.

“

S.P.E.E.D.O. Committee dives into pool discussion Ashley Swanson Managing Editor Following the candidate forum, Pool Project Advocate John Parton presented for the Citizens Advocacy For Pool Enhancement Committee, urging citizens to vote yes on the referendum on the Nov. 4 ballot.

He reiterated that the new pool will have a walking track, regular swimming area, and rehabilitation pool, which will be used

by CSC, the Shark Swim Team, and the Community Hospital.

Parton said the pool project does have risks—there’s a chance that not enough money will be raised, and grants may not come through—but “all risks have been painstakingly, taken into account,” he said.

As there are a lot of risks with this project, he reminded the audience that this type of community knows about risks and deals with them every day.

“Are we going to be covered by fear or

Career fair attracts students, employers Cheyenne Deering Reporter Eager, job-seeking students pursued regional and local business that filled Chadron State College’s Student Center lobby 10 a.m.-2 p.m., Friday for CSC’s Academic Planning Service’s first fall Career Fair.

Seventeen agencies registered, representing federal, state and local employment opportunities. The fair focused on internships and summer jobs, Deena Kennel, director of internships and career services, said.

“We did it in response to feedback last spring from agencies wanting to do seasonal hiring,” Kennell said. “We are very excited about it.”

The event usually takes place in the Student Center Ballroom. This year, CSC’s Academic Planning Services decided to hold the event in the lobby because it is more conducive to student traffic.

The State Treatment and Rehabilitation Academy for juveniles, or STAR Academy, of Custer, South Dakota, offers services to delinquent children placed in custody of the Department of Corrections by the court system, including an accredited middle and high school. STAR Academy regularly attends CSC career fairs. Hallie Mattson, STAR Academy social studies teacher, said CSC’s career fair is the largest they attend. STAR Academy can offer jobs to a variety of students, including those studying criminal justice, phycology, and even education.

Mathias Wallace, Nebraska National Forests and Grasslands employee, said they attended because, “We love to do outreach,” and, “do our best to provide information on upcoming positions we need to fill.”

Western Cooperative Company, or WESTCO, whose home office is in Alliance, is actively seeking agronomy interns. WESTCO human resource manager Dawn Butcher said they currently have a few CSC students, but she hopes the fair will help secure interns before students make other summer plans.

Chadron businesses also offered employment opportunities as well. Jessica Fisher, Chadron Maurice’s manager, said the fair is beneficial for her to meet potential customers and new hires.

“We are currently looking for new associates,” Fisher said. “The company loves to promote from within and it’s a great place for college kids to start.

Yohannes Berehanu, 19, sophomore of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, is pursuing an information technology career.

He attended the career fair to look for internship options, but did not find anything specific. Berehanu suggested event planners offer more career options.

“I came to see if I can’t find career opportunities,” Josh Mayer, 20, sophomore of Lincoln, said.

He was impressed with the diverse range of career options. Students who did not attend this career fair will have another chance this spring. Academic Planning Services will host another Career Fair Friday, Feb. 13, 2015.

Leadership conference brings Wayne’s, Peru’s Senates to CSC

Jordyn Hulinsky Sports Editor Friday at the Student Senate Leadership Conference, members of Wayne State College’s Senate met with members of CSC’s Senate and Peru State College’s Senate to discuss a proposal for a change to Nebraska State College System’s Board Policies 2700 and 5000.

Policy 2700 states, “The Nebraska State Colleges are equal opportunity institutions and do not discriminate against any student, employee or applicant on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, religion, or age in employment and education opportunities, including but not limited to admission decisions. Each College has designated an individual to coordinate the College’s nondiscrimination efforts to comply with regulations implementing Title VI, VII, IX, and Section 504.”

Policy 5000 states, “The Nebraska State Colleges are equal opportunity institutions and do not discriminate against any student, employee or applicant on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, religion, or age in employment and education opportunities, including but not limited to admission decisions.

Each College has designated an individual to coordinate the Colleges’ non-discrimination efforts to comply with regulations implementing Title VI, VII, IX, and Section 504….Recruitment, selection, employment, transfer, promotion, demotion, training and pay of all employees shall be without regard

to race, color, age, sex, religion, national origin, marital status, political affiliation, or disability.”

WSC handed out papers outlining their plan of action.

Wayne’s proposal states, “The proposal is to add sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression to…” policies 2700 and 5000.

WSC is asking Peru State and CSC to bring the proposal to their respected Senates to see if they would be in favor of supporting this proposal. After hearing feedback from PSC and CSC, WSC would then have this proposal sent to the Board of Trustees.

WSC said whether or not they have support from one or both of the other schools they plan to take this proposal to the Board of Trustees to have these policies changed.

They said they think the request for the change in policies would be better if the other schools were also in support, but they are hoping the change can be made even without the support of others.

WSC is hoping to have their proposal on the Board’s agenda by the January meeting so they can vote on it at the March meeting.

Saturday, the three schools came back together to give presentations about their respected schools and how things are run at their school. Chief Justice Jon Lordino gave the first presentation for CSC with other senators chiming in to help on certain topics.

PSC’s Senate President Lexi Neemann, 21, senior of Sioux City, Iowa, and PSC’s CAB President Ryan Bauman, 22, senior of Fall City, gave the presentation for Peru.

OPINION

Sen. actions are disappointing Jordyn Hulinsky Sports Editor

T VOTE

Make a Splash,

If you met last Friday’s deadline to register as a voter in Chadron, put a reminder on your calendar and vote this Tuesday.

This year is a mid-term election. At stake are Nebraska’s U.S. Senate and House of Representatives seats, as well as the Governor of Nebraska. A recent poll by the Harvard Institute of Politics shows that Millennial voters will have a large swing vote and will prefer a Republican-led congress by a narrow four-point margin.

However, local elections are just as important as the showdown on the national stage.

In recent months, the discussion in Chadron has centered on the proposal to develop and enclose the Chadron Municipal Swimming Pool.

Community members petitioned the Chadron City council to allow a half-cent tax initiative to be placed on the ballot.

Chadron State College has been without an indoor pool since the 1961-era pool in Armstrong closed in October 2012. It has since been repurposed into the athletic department’s weightroom, and we have not had an alternative.

Last week, the Chadron Record and KCSR sponsored an election forum in the Student Center, hosting seven candidates in the city council race. The candidates had the opportunity to meet the public and answer questions, and the swimming pool was a major point in the discussion (for more information, see page 3).

Team Chadron, consisting of Mark Werner, and write-in candidates Miles Bannan, and John Coates, seem to be the candidates most committed to advancing progress and are in favor of sensible spending for projects that benefit us all.

The college has had a long-standing relationship with the community of Chadron; students, employees, and faculty provide local businesses and services with our patronage, and because of this relationship, we can all reap the benefits.

Therefore, it would be a wise idea to vote infavor of the half-cent tax proposal and vote for Team Chadron. We have the perfect opportunity to work toward improving our already-strong ties forged with the city of Chadron and the community, so let’s not waste it. Vote.

his weekend, CSC’s Student Senate hosted members of Wayne State College and Peru State College Student Senates for the Senate Leadership Conference, and I was asked to cover a couple of the meetings for The Eagle. I can honestly say I was impressed with some of the ideas brought up in these meetings, but I was not impressed with the way some of the senators acted during the meetings.

The students who are part of Student Senate are supposed to be leaders on this campus. Maybe not everyone feels this way, but to me, being a leader means you are the one in charge, the one willing to put yourself out there for criticism, and the one who doesn’t put others down.

One of the main problems I noticed at this conference, and at a couple of the Student Senate and CAB meetings I have been to this semester, is that some senators don’t have the ability to publicly speak. At least, not loud enough and clearly enough, without shaky voices, for everyone in the room to hear.

I understand that public speaking is not an easy thing for everyone, but if you hold a public office, like a senator position, this should be something you work on. I had a hard time hearing a lot of the discussion that was going on at these meetings during the weekend

because the senators presenting were not speaking loudly enough.

The other disappointment I noticed during the meetings was the disrespectful cellphone use during the other schools’ presentations. I will admit that I used my phone briefly during one of the presentations, but only because I had to ask the managing editor a question.

When you host a leadership conference to learn how other schools run their Senates and other organizations on their campus, I find it incredibly disrespectful to be on your phone ignoring the information being presented to you, especially when it should directly benefit you as a senator.

Finally, after the meeting on Saturday, as I was getting information from a senator from Wayne State, I was asked, “So are you one of the reporters who writes the awful articles about Senate?”

This infuriated me. The first question that came to my mind when I heard this was, where would he get an idea like that?

MAN ON THE STREET

we asked:

JOHN MCCLAIN

21, sophomore of Grand Island “No. I feel like my vote doesn’t make a difference.”

The logical conclusion I came to was that one of our Senators must have told him that we write “awful articles about Senate.” It should be noted that I was asked to leave the round table discussions on Friday afternoon, so I do not know what was said behind closed doors. As leaders of this campus, when others come to visit our school, I would think you would want to tell them the good things we do on campus and not bring down other clubs and groups.

Apparently that was not the case when these schools came to visit us if this is the type of question reporters get asked when all they want is information about the students’ names. I was disappointed that senators would tell other schools this kind of thing.

Also, if this type of article is what constitutes as an “awful article about Senate,” I’m a little more disappointed in our Senate. As senators you put yourself out there for criticism; it’s what happens when you hold a public office, and people are going to have opinions about what you do. Some of us are just willing to put our opinions out there and have them published and take the criticism that goes with it.

As a newspaper, we will take the criticism and ask for responses.

I hope when senators take their trip to Florida in November, they learn a few things about what it means to be a leader. I expect to see changes in the way Senate runs things on campus, and I do hope that those attending the conference learn how to act in a public office.

Have a safe, responsible Halloween weekend without having already learned that lesson in kindergarten; there’s no excuse.

If someone is wearing a revealing costume, that doesn’t give you the green light to touch them without their consent. Besides, no one wants your disgusting paws on their body anyway.

Spike Jordan Opinion Editor

A

m I the only one who’s excited for tomorrow night?

Halloween falls on a Friday this year, so we can all don our costumes, go to parties or out to the bars, get smashed, and then have a whole weekend to sleep away our hangovers. The ghost of Charlie Sheen Past echoes through time: “Winning!”

But let’s stop and do some math: skimpy outfits + booze = problems. We all want to have a safe and fun Halloween, so let’s look at some potential risks and consequences, and how we can avoid them.

IF YOU ARE UNDERAGE Don’t drink. That’s it. Under Nebraska law, if you’re arrested for Minor In Possession, (a Class III Misdemeanor); your parents will be called and you will face a fine of up to $500, and/or up to three months imprisonment. (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 53-180.05.)

I’m guessing most of you can’t afford to fork over $500, and the hours you’ll spend doing community service instead of studying will give you plenty of time to reflect on your choices.

I don’t care how responsible you think you are, the safest thing for you to do is to practice some self-restraint and selfrespect; just wait until you are 21. Chances are you can’t handle alcohol, and I’m certain your parents will be thrilled to get a phone call at 3 a.m., telling them that you’re in the emergency room getting your stomach pumped. You are an adult now, buck-up and act your age.

HAVE A PLAN OF ACTION

IF YOU ARE OF AGE Don’t buy for minors, don’t provide for minors, and don’t even let minors come near your party. It’s your responsibility to ensure there are no minors present; ignorance is no excuse.

If you unknowingly provide for minors, you can still face a Class I Misdemeanor, up to $1000 fine and/or up to six months imprisonment (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 53-180.05 (1)).

If you ignore the warning and provide for minors anyway, you can face a Class IIIA felony. Sentences include up to $10,000 fine and/or up to five years imprisonment (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 53-180.05).

And heaven forbid, if you knowingly provide a minor alcohol and it results in severe injury or death, you are guaranteed to receive a minimum 30 days imprisonment on top of any other punishments you get in sentencing. (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 53-180.05 (2)).

KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF With the college’s heightened sensitivity toward sexual harassment and assault, it’s important to remind you: you’re an adult and you need to keep your hands and appendages to yourself. You wouldn’t be here

That being said, I don’t condone “slutshaming” and I’m all for having a positive body image. If you’re comfortable and confident enough to wear something revealing in public, then that’s your choice. Just be aware that you’re going to attract attention, whether you like it or not.

We can talk about how oppressive the patriarchy is some other time; you still need to have a plan to deal with it.

If at any point someone touches you inappropriately, tell them that it’s not OK. If they can’t take the hint and persist, tell a bouncer or bartender. If worst comes to worst, kick them in the groin or spray mace in their face, then report them to the police.

The only way that people will learn to be respectful and leave you alone is if there are real consequences.

If you see someone acting inappropriately, don’t be a bystander; step in. You aren’t being a “cock-block;” preventing a sexual assault is worth causing a scene. You can rest easy knowing that you did the right thing, but if you ignore it, you are part of the problem and that will be on your head.

Have a plan to be responsible. Don’t go out alone, and make sure your friends are watching you and that you watch-out for them too. Don’t let friends go off by themselves or leave with someone you don’t know. Know each other’s limits, stick together, and have a designated driver that will get you home safe.

NO ONE OWES YOU ANYTHING If you buy someone a drink, they are under no obligation to accept it. Even if they do, they still don’t owe you anything.

Don’t continue feeding that person drinks with the expectation that they’ll go home with you. Besides, if a person is really that into you, they will stick around and have a good time. Don’t let that thing in your pants pocket make the decisions for you (I’m talking about your wallet, of course.)

Likewise, don’t flirt with the intent to score free drinks. No matter how attractive you think you are, no one owes you. This isn’t a “chivalry is dead” argument; if you can’t afford to go out on your own dime or don’t have friends who are willing to pay your way, you should keep your broke-self at home. Besides, you can always decline that drink, especially if you’re not interested. It’s the classy thing to do.

DON’T RAPE SOMEONE. If you can’t get laid while you’re sober, don’t think that it’s OK to take advantage of someone who has had too much to drink.

You aren’t “getting lucky,” that person is impaired and cannot consent to having sex with you. Just don’t even play around with that; it’s not worth the consequences.

Even if they offer their consent, you should still do the smart thing and decline.

If you’re really that sexually frustrated, your safest bet is to go home and masturbate. It’s not illegal, and it beats jail time and being convicted as a sex-offender. The worst that could happen is an awkward confrontation when you’re roommate accidentally walks in on you. It’s embarrassing, but at least your name won’t end up in the paper.

OPINION 7

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Deane Tucker on article caption error Dear Editor: A few years ago a colleague showed me in disbelief the following sentence from a student’s paper on Stephen Crane’s The Red Badge of Courage: “During the Civil War, most families were so poor that they couldn’t afford a TV and had to get their news from newspapers.”

I was reminded of this anecdote when I read Kyle Tarbutton’s article “Sandoz Center exhibit explores Depression-era photographs” in the October 23, 2014 edition of The Eagle (pg. 17).

The article was accompanied by a picture taken by Eagle photographer Teri Robinson of one of the photographs in the exhibit. The photo depicts a man on the side of a highway half-stooped in front of a late 1960s model Plymouth opening a mailbox.

The article picture caption reads: “A man checking his mail during winter after the Dust Bowl is on display for the Dust Bowl art exhibit in the Mari Sandoz Center.”

Ignoring the confusing syntax of the caption, the picture is a very poor choice to represent the exhibit. The exhibit caption for the photo says it was taken in March 1979, close to forty years after the end of the dust bowl period nicknamed the dirty thirties.

Yet the article caption makes it look as if the poor man is seen struggling with a harsh winter merely months after a devastatingly dry, dust-riddled, and crop-less summer during the Great Depression of the 1930s. However, the image of the future model Plymouth betrays the text (and this confusing reading).

This picture might have made

sense to your readers had the author mentioned an important fact in the article. The Sandoz display features photographs of persons living on the plains during the Great Depression interspersed with snapshots of the same individuals posing in the identical landscapes in 1979. More careful writing, copyediting, and picture caption editing of the piece could have avoided any confusion.

Forgive me if it seems like I am criticizing you for a small speck of dust in your editorial eye; but to me as your reader, your lack of editorial clarity in this article sticks out like a splinter in my own. The exhibit, by the way, is fascinating and worth a visit.

Sincerely, Deane Tucker Professor of Humanities, CSC

Why is campus internet so slow?

Richard Heule III Columnist

A

s many of you are probably aware, the internet in the residence halls has been crawling along lately.

As someone who thrives on funny cat videos and video games, I took matters into my own hands and decided to investigate why the internet had turned to crap.

Before mid-term break, the internet was running perfectly fine. I could get on YouTube and Steam and my games would download in about five seconds on a good day. However, the wireless internet was still very slow. I attribute a lot of that to freshman trying to use Netflix like crazy.

After we all came back from midterm break, the internet was slow. And I mean SLOW. YouTube videos took a good hour to load in the lowest quality, and if you were trying to watch anything on Hulu, good luck. You will be graduated by the time your Saturday Night Live clips load.

I was fed up with it, and I contacted the IT department. I originally went over to Miller Hall to their offices to

complain a little bit, but they were closing, and I was told to come back later.

I forgot about it until I was in the library this past week, when I walked up to the IT Help Desk and complained about slow internet. The nice lady working the desk told me they would be happy to help me, and decided to send tech support right up to my room.

I arrived before the support guys did to make sure my room didn’t look like a death trap. Ten minutes later, I heard a knock on the door.

It wasn’t just one guy, there were three people there to look and see why my internet was so slow. As we were talking, they told me that they have a thing set up on the campus internet to

direct traffic flow as they see fit.

Basically, they prioritize certain connections while they let other ones run slower. The system is currently set up to make sure that campus websites, such as Sakai, MyCSC, and EagleMail are getting the right amount of bandwidth allocated, while other connections, such as YouTube and Netflix, are given less priority.

I can understand why the IT department would do this; it’s essential that we keep Sakai and the like up and running.

However, I pay a lot of money to go to school here, and I’m probably going to keep paying the school a ton of money to stay here for the next three years. If I’m going to be killing my bank account, I would at least like to watch “Tim and Eric Awesome Show: Great Job” while doing it.

I was originally very bitter about the entire situation, I’m glad the IT guys were willing to work with me and shed some light on the situation at hand, and they did let me know they are trying to fix the problem. In the end, give it a couple weeks and everything will probably be fine. Until then, we will all have to deal with increadibly pixelated cat videos.

CSC football overpowers rival Black Hills State 33-28 Jordyn Hulinsky Sports Editor CSC has yet to lose to BHSU since 2012 when the rivalry between the schools was renewed.

Saturday’s game was determined in the last seconds. The Eagles out-scored Black Hills State University, 33-28.

Near the end of the game, the Yellow Jackets gained possession after an onside kick by BHSU, but the Eagles defense was able to hold them.

Linebacker Collin Eisenman, redshirt freshman of Sheridan, Wyoming, led the defense marking 10 tackles. Linebackers Dylan Furrier, junior of Tucson, Arizona, followed close behind counting eight, and Clay Cundall, junior of Greybull, Wyoming, tallied six including one for loss.

In the first quarter, two tailbacks found the end zone: Cody Paul, sophomore of Seal Beach, California, who carried for 62 yards, and Michael Madkins, senior of Sacramento, California, who was the leading rusher. Madkins tallied 96 yards. Tailback Derek Jackson, redshirt freshman of Pueblo West, Colorado, marked 65 yards.

Quarterback Jonn McLain, senior of Chadron, completed 22 of 37 passes for 193 yards. McLain found Insider Receiver Austen Stephens, senior of Lincoln, for a 10-yard pass in the end zone. Stephens grabbed two for 33 yards. see FOOTBALL, Page 13

The Eagles began their pre-season with an open practice Oct. 18. Six days later came the Black and Cardinal Classic, an annual event that pits the top wrestlers from each weight class against one another The Black squad overpowered the Cardinal team 26-13. At 141-pounds, Terrance McKinney, sophomore of Spokane, Washington, logged two pins. The first came in 1 minute 15 seconds against Joshua Miller, redshirt freshman of Bennett, Colorado; the second, an exhibition match, came against Brock Thumm, freshman of Watervliet, Michigan, in :29. McKinney, a North Idaho College, Coeur d’Alene, transfer, posted a 31-11 record last year and won the Spokane Open and the South Oregon Open. Ranked number one in the nation most of last season, he also earned International Wrestling Federation All-American honors.

Johnny Porter, freshman of Bellevue, challenged and beat Reed Burgener,

sophomore of Douglas, Wyoming, in the 157-pound bout. Porter finished second at last year’s Wyoming state high school tournament after losing a tiebreaker in the finals.

Members of the Black squad marking wins were Jacob Anderson, sophomore of Central City, 149-pounds; Stuart Hircock, redshirt freshman of Amherst, 184-pounds; and Jake Brown, redshirt freshman of Central City, 165-pounds.

Anderson went 19-12 last season and pinned three of his opponents. He has also been placed on the Preseason All-Conference Team. Hircock pinned his opponent Zach Thompson, freshman of Powell, Wyoming, 184-pounds in 1:06, and Brown pinned Porter at 165-pounds in 2:28.

Winning matches for the Cardinal squad were Ruben Valdez, freshman of Mesa Ridge, Colorado, 125-pounds; Taylor Summers, sophomore of Plymouth, 133-pounds; Caleb Copeland, sophomore of Bennett, Colorado, 174-pounds; and Devan Fors, senior of Roseburg, Oregon, 197-pounds.

Summers wrestled 125-pounds last season, but moved to the 133-pound division to fill a gap left by Dustin Stodola, senior of Clarkson. Stodola used his fifth and final year of eligibility last season. He plans to graduate in May.

Defensive Specialist Brittany Oddo (21), senior of Peoria, Arizona, passes the ball Oct. 3 during the game against Regis University, Denver, at Armstrong Gym.

For his first career start, Wide Receiver Antonio Thompson, senior of Savannah, Georgia, snatched five for 22 yards. Danny O’Boyle, wide receiver junior of Gering, snagged three passes for 34 yards, and Inside Receiver Ethan Bauer, senior of Morse Bluff, caught four for 25.

Kicker Randy Wentz, sophomore of Scottsbluff, hit four field goals from the 22, 32, 20 and 37. He is now 11-for-11 this season.

Punter Zach Smith, sophomore of Gering, put the Eagles in good position when he punted three inside the 20-yard line. On six kicks, he averaged 42 yards.

The refs threw a total of 20 flags, with 14 against CSC for 128 yards. BHSU caught six flags for 51 yards.

“There were quite a few flags thrown last Saturday,” Furrier said. “But, as a team, we won’t focus on anything different regarding penalties this week at practice. We just have to understand that the refs will throw flags and that’s just part of the game. We just need to focus on controlling what we can control and that’s how well we play, and not letting penalties affect how we play the game.”

from page 11 Saturday, the Eagles will travel to Las Vegas, New Mexico, to face New Mexico Highlands University.

“Highlands is a good team that plays hard,” Furrier said. “They have great athletes on both sides of the ball and this week it will be important to take away their big play ability. We must focus on our technique and build off of last week.”

Highlands is 3-5 overall and 3-3 RMAC. “To get prepared for this game, we have a good practice and listen to our coaches,” Defensive Back Ryan Wood, sophomore of Stockton, California, said. “We have the best defensive coaches in the nation, and they do a great job putting us in position to make plays. In order for us to be successful as a defense is mainly just doing our job. Highlands has the No. 1 offense in our league and their whole offense just waits for you to make a mistake, and they have the ability to turn a mistake into a touchdown or big play. In order for us to do well against them, we have to eliminate the big plays and do what our coaches tell us, and execute.”

Kickoff is at 1 p.m., Saturday, and the game can be heard on 97.5 or 105.9.

Volleyball team drop 2 on the road Uyen Han Brittany Province Reporters Colorado Christian University swept CSC Saturday winning 25-8, 25-13, 25-11.

The Cougars poured on the points quickly as they went on two 7-0 runs in the first set.

Outside Hitter Ali Weber, senior of Aurora, Colorado, led CCU’s offense tallying 11 kills, two service aces and held .688 hitting percentage. Committing only eight hitting errors, CCU crushed 41 kills and seven service aces.

CCU was not willing to give up defensively; they put up 11 total team blocks.

CCU Setter Jordan Kessler, senior of Aurora, Colorado, did well distributing 35 assists. She marked seven blocks.

CSC’s Outside Hitter Hanna Flaming, senior of Benton, Kansas, led the team with six kills. Outside Hitter Alexis Farris, freshman of Blair, added five kills, five digs, and an ace.

Setter Justine Ackie, junior of Phoenix, Arizona, marked 11 assists.

Defensive Specialist Brittany Oddo, senior of Peoria, Arizona, dug 11 balls, and

Middle Hitter Alia Brennan, sophomore of Chadron, blocked twice.

The team played South Dakota School of Mines, Rapid City, Tuesday. The Eagles played a close game, but lost 25-22, 21-25, 25-23, and 25-20.

The Eagles, now 3-20 overall, and Mines were even after two sets. The Mines shut down the Eagles in the final two sets, leaving them with a hitting percentage under .100.

Despite the loss, the Eagles marked a statistically better night. Outside Hitter Erika Roybal, senior of Denver, hit .357, and Flaming contributed 14 kills, and Middle Hitter Lelalelei Nomura, junior of Pago Pago, American Samoa, added eight. Ackie passed out 32 assists.

Defensive Specialist Alyssa Bauer, senior of Rapid City, South Dakota, posted a season-high 30 digs, and Brennan helped on three blocks.

“We gave our best effort, and this team always come to play,” Eagles Head Coach Chris Wells said, “but I’m disappointed about the outcome of the game.”

Emily Still, 19, sophomore of Scottsbluff, paints a clothes pin for her polka dot art piece Friday during the Pinterest Party in Edna’s Conference Room.

FIRST CLASS

Materials for cookies in a jar, clothespin wreaths, and Halloween treat bags were provided to student crafters during an RLA-sponsored Pinterest party 9 p.m.-midnight, Friday in the Edna Work Wing Conference Room.

About 20 people attended the event, designed to provide students with an opportunity to create crafts while interacting with one another.

Brandy Bowers, 21, junior of Interior, South Dakota, created all three crafts and said she enjoyed the event.

“I like being crafty and I’m trying to be more social,” she said.

The crafting collection on Pinterest, a social media website where users can create or share collections of just about anything, inspired the event. If attendees needed inspiration, they turned to Pinterest for ideas using a laptop provided by RLA. Erin Admundson, 21, senior of Colton, South Dakota, an Edna RA, said RLA events are seldom hosted in Edna because the other commonly used locations, such as Kent, the Gold Room, and the Student Center, are more central to student traffic.

“We were kind of worried with it being in Edna,” Admundson said. “There not being so many people, but we’re pretty pleased with the turnout.”

“I’m hungry. My entire body is hungry.

Not just my legs & arms like after we lift, my entire body is hungry.”

A three-judge panel chose the three best pumpkins. They then chose six additional pumpkins to vie for fourth and fifth place. The crowd’s cheering determined those winners. Prizes included pillows, hangers, a plastic drawer set, a vacuum, and an iPod shuffle. Aimee Glandt, 18, freshman from Rapid City, South Dakota, earned first place and the iPod shuffle for her creepy jack-o-lantern.

“There were lots of good entries and hard work from people," Glandt said.

Conference intended to inform Wednesday Child Welfare Conference to educate, empower the community Maria Evtodieva Reporter

Social Work undergraduate students organized a Child Welfare Conference from 8 a.m.- 5 p.m., Wednesday, in the Student Center Ballroom.

“It is the end of a big project,” Bruce Hoem, social work undergraduate adviser said.

The mission statement of the program is “to ensure the well-being of children by educating and empowering the community,” Hoem said.

Participants can learn about various topics, including child abuse, sex crimes against children, juvenile justice, the latest laws, and actual experience of the different fields’ speakers.

The conference is free and open to the public.

The first 170 participants will be served a free lunch. Snacks will be provided all day.

Mustapha Barry, publicity committee

member said the conference goal was to inform people about child welfare and to ensure children’s’ futures.

The child welfare project was developed in January, and now the group is ready to host its first Child Welfare Conference. Conference speakers include State Court Administrator, Cory Steele, Lincoln; County Judge, Susan Bazis, Omaha; County Judge, James Worden, Scottsbluff; Regional Center, Shannon Black, Lincoln; Probation Officer, Julie Hamburger, Alliance; and Chadron Public Schools Superintendent, Caroline Winchester.

Organizers said they think the conference is a great way to research child welfare problems and to have a healthy discussion about finding solutions.

“The conference is for better understanding of challenges that children of Nebraska face with education, care issues and other important things,” Hoem said.

Haunted House, Halloween Dance to take place today Angela Cruz Reporter

The Pit is hosting a Late Night Haunted House and Halloween Dance tonight in the Student Center.

The Scottsbluff Room will contain this year’s Haunted House. The Haunted House’s doors open at 8:30 p.m. The Ballroom will house the dance 9 p.m.- midnight. The Haunted House’s theme this year is Fear Fest.

“Compared to last year, I am very excited for this,” Pit Manager Jennie Robbins, 21, se-

nior of Mitchell, said.

This year’s Haunted House will be different, Robbins said. She said The Haunted House will have divided sections, but did not provide more details. CAB approved extra budget money, so The Pit can buy actual lumber. Robbins hopes that it will make a sturdier haunted house.

The International Club, RLA, and members of CAB are all helping with The Haunted House. Theatre students will be applying makeup.

James De la Cerna, 23, senior of San Diego, will DJ the dance. Best male, female, and group costumes will earn gift cards.

Men’s Choir hosts area HS students Kyle Tarbutton Reporter

CSC hosted the fourth Men’s Choir Day in the Sandoz Center from 9 a.m.-2:50 p.m. Thursday. The event takes place every other year and puts high school students from the region in-touch with the CSC music department.

The workshop was held for male students’ grades 9-12. During Men’s Choir Day the high school students worked with the CSC Men’s Ensemble and Music Director Joel Schreuder. Schreuder directs the Concert Choir, Vocal Jazz Ensemble, and was chair of

the music department from 2009-11.

The 14-member ensemble meets twice a week for an hour and a half in order to work on ensemble singing, technique, leadership, and singing for pleasure.

“It is used to foster a positive attitude toward singing for men who may not have the resources to sing with other guys because of the small schools that surround the panhandle,” Men’s Ensemble member Jacob Wirth, senior of Sidney, said.

Wirth also said that Men’s Choir Day “is a useful recruiting tool for the Chadron Music Department,” as it allows young men from the area to view the Chadron campus, the Sandoz Center, and connects them with current CSC students.
