Senate unsure of total funds, makes allocations Jordyn Hulinsky Managing Editor Senate allocated $1,071 Monday and voted to confirm a $20,000 allocation from 2014, without knowing the total funds available to Senate for the semester.

Student Senate Vice President of Finance Curtis Stevens still didn’t have an exact number for Senate’s funding because student bills aren’t finalized yet.

Stevens did report there was $4,000 carried over from last semester and Senate has already allocated $10,000 for the Book Ends Coffee Shop in the library, $8,000 for the Week of Welcome, $204,503.23 for clubs, and $20,000 for various speakers

scheduled to come to campus.

Due to a miscommunication in 2014 an allocation of $20,000 for the Chadron Area Aquatics and Wellness Center was not recorded in Senate’s minutes. Therefore, Senate had to vote to confirm the allocation so auditors have a confirmation of those funds.

Senate allocated $100 for a movie, popcorn, drinks, and snacks for an outdoor movie night at 8 p.m. Sept. 9. The movie playing will be “Space Jam.” Senate allocated $420 for supper at The Ridge on Sept. 24. All senators will have a group meeting to discuss Senate’s goals at 3 p.m. Sept. 24. Supper will follow.

Laure Sinn, B.E.A.M.S.S. and Rangeland program coordinator, was approved

an allocation of $551 for Constitution Day. Because Constitution Day falls on a Saturday this year, there will be a celebration from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 15. The money will be spent as follows: $450 for an iPad that everyone will have a chance to win, and $101 for red, white, and blue cookies.

Damian Mcalevy resigned his liberal arts senatorial position due to “conflicts in scheduling with meetings,” Mcalevy said Tuesday.

Senate approved the appointment of two at large senators: Olivia Vester and Johnathan Sayaloune.

There is now two Senate positions open: one liberal arts and one at large position.

Elections for dorm hall senators will

open at noon Tuesday and close at noon Sept. 8. There were two students added to the court as temporary justices of the court: Nathaniel Brown and Kevin Zhang.

Petitions for the justice of the court are due at 10 p.m. Friday.

To acknowledge National Suicide Prevention Week Sept. 5-11, Senate would like to host a listening post and a meetand-greet with the counselors on campus.

Before checking with the counselors, Senate plans on hosting the meet-and-greet at 5 p.m. Tuesday in the Student Center.

Senate allocated $200 for hors d’oeuvres.

There will be an open forum at 7 p.m. today in the Student Center, but no Senate meeting next week.

CAB will be in the Student Center conducting surveys the rest of this week from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. today and Friday.

If clubs need to go to Wal-Mart to purchase supplies, clubs should contact Alyssa Bauer, athletics graduate student worker, at abauer@csc.edu.

Senator At Large Anas Haddadi asked about hanging posters in academic buildings. Mathew Brust, Senate adviser and physical and life sciences associate professor, said in order to hang posters in academic buildings, you have to contact the building manager to get permission.

Student Trustee Coy Clark said that there is a trustee’s Facebook page now up titled “Chadron State Student Trustee.”

CAB announces Homecoming themes and activities Justine Stone Lifestyles Editor CAB allocated $16,428 at Tuesday’s meeting, but the funds still need to be approved by Student Senate. A breakdown of the allocations are as follows: $500 for Homecoming, $1,000 for Friday events, $2,000 for club co-sponsored events, $4,000 for one or two large events, and $8,928 for Free Movie Nights throughout the fall semester.

Free Movie Nights are scheduled for Sept. 18, Oct. 23, Nov. 20, and Dec. 11.

Prior to these allocations, CAB had spent $5,136.19 and had $199,386.04 in remaining funds.

Representatives voted on the 2016 Homecoming daily themes. Monday will be Class Color Day, Tuesday is Superhero Day, Wednesday is Greek Day, Thursday is PJ’s Day, Friday is 80’s &

Vice President of Finance Gavan Archibald reminded representatives that the Activity Fee Board has three open CAB positions. Email Archibald at garchibald@csc.edu if you are interested in the position.

Vice Chair of Relations Trista Schell asked representatives to email her with event information so she can display it on the screens in the Student Center and the social media pages.

Student Trustee Coy Clark gave a brief explanation of his position as trustee and asked students to contact him with any concerns that he can take to the Board of Trustee’s meetings.

Trista Schell said Closer to Home is looking for volunteers from 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. on Sept. 13, 27, 28, 29, and 30.

CAB Vice Chair of Records nominations will close next week. As of Tuesday’s meeting, there were no nominations.

The Board also approved CSC to award a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Biology to Kristin Elizabeth Miller. Miller started as an RHOP student at CSC in fall 2009.

She had to withdraw from school on Oct. 28, 2013, due to a serious illness. She maintained a 3.009 GPA after finishing 102 credit hours. Miller died Feb. 23, 2016.

After the state Legislature and the governor passed Legislative Bill 957 it is necessary for the Board to submit a revised program statement pages to the Coordinating Commission for Postsecondary Education to include funding of the three State College projects that were a part of LB957.

The three projects are the CSC stadium replacement and improvement project, the Peru State College Theatre/Event Center renovation and addition project, and the Wayne State College Center for Applied Technology project.

At the June 10 meeting, the Board of Trustees approved the Cuba Libre contract for CSC. Bruce Hoem, counseling, psychological science and social work associate professor, was named as the award winner for the Board of Trustee’s Teaching Excellence award. Hoem has been at CSC since 2006. The Board is choosing the award recipient from one nomination from each state college. The award is given to a faculty who demonstrates innovation and leadership. Hoem won the award over Peru State’s Kelly Asmussen and Wayne State’s Joe Blankenau.

The next Board meeting is Sept. 8-9 in South Sioux City.

New Texas gun legislation has students up in arms Johnathan Cross Contributor Last week, many students at the University of Texas, Austin, gathered around campus to orchestrate a rather ill-humored, yet powerful campaign against recent legislation in the state.

As of Aug. 1, staff and students on both public and private college campuses across Texas can now legally carry concealed guns.

The student body has not stomached this display of irresponsibility well. Their form of combat is flashy, and it has raised awareness about this controversial movement. The campaign in question is known as “Cocks Not Glocks.”

“We are fighting absurdity with absurdity,” UT student Jessica Jin said in an interview with Yahoo.com. To do so, Jin, along with countless other UT students, have distributed boxes of sex toys; some even sporting clever signage promoting the campaign decorated with slogans such as “If you are packing heat, we are packing meat,” along with other goofiness of that nature.

Protestors are also making social statements against the decisions of Texas lawmakers, a notion that has became rather popular across the country over these last several months since the news broke in the scholastic world this July.

Before we go too far into this, many of you are probably asking yourselves about the specifications of this bill. Where are they allowed, what type of gun is allowed, how many are capable of being registered per individual?

While some of that information has yet to be determined, it has been confirmed that students and faculty will be granted permission, via proof of licensing and age obligations, to carry their handguns in classrooms, courtyards, dormitories and any other buildings on campuses.

“Texas has decided it is not all obnoxious or illegal to allow deadly concealed weapons on campus,” Jin said. “But walking around with a dildo could land you in trouble.”

Couple Jin’s comments with the fact that it has been scientifically proven that the human mind doesn’t reach its final stages of development until age 25; and you ruin the integrity of the argument. Since the irony appears to be lost on many legislators, allow me to spell it out for you.

These students, who in case you forgot, are the future of our country. Which sentiment is more taboo? Talking openly, discussing sexuality, and harmlessly marching around with abnormally sized rubber penises? Or telling underdeveloped minds, even if they are 21 (the legal age of concealment in Texas), carrying potential murder weapons is a good idea? Which is the lesser of two evils?

Props to whoever dreamed this up, because it is hysterical.

Distributing sex toys will only cause an array of belly laughs; it will never slay 49 people in one clip at a nightclub.

“An armed society is a safe society,” Rep. Jonathan Stickland R-Texas said in an article for The New York Times. “So any time you have gun control, there is far more opportunity to become victims. The criminals aren’t going to obey the laws. It’s the responsible folks who we should be encouraging to protect themselves in the community they live in.”

His reasoning seems logical and is met with a lot of enthusiasm from his advocates. However, when we flip the script to the students’ point of view, this idea isn’t as romanticized.

There are thousands of students who would rather wave large floppy dildos over their heads and shout embarrassing catchphrases than stand by and watch themselves and their peers

become vulnerable.

Their actions speak louder than the words they’re screaming. This is their rebellious way of saluting the SOS, and their fears and insecurities are feelings shared by countless students in the state.

If we can confidently say that criminals don’t follow the rules, do you honestly think college students do? Test it yourself, walk around any campus in this country and ask people if they have heard stories about parties involving underage drinking or drug use. It happens every day.

Our hero worship bestowed upon firearms in this country is quite flabbergasting. There are many redeeming qualities when it comes to the sphere of guns. People recognize shooting as sport, for hunting to provide for their families, and so on and so forth.

However, when you have state attorneys in the state of Texas who have vowed to get professors, regardless of tenure, terminated if they refuse to allow guns in their classrooms, that’s where the line needs to be drawn.

It’s not just Texas colleges and universities; Kansas is now on board with this too. College shouldn’t be about the measuring stick of intimidation or dominance, it should be a resource hub for academic splendor and cultural wanderlust. Neither exhibition requires weaponry of any kind.

Every university across the country wants to create their own narrative, and that’s understandable, but at this stage in our lives, we’re all essentially adolescents. Most haven’t grown up enough to understand the immense responsibility that comes with carrying a firearm.

In case of an emergency, the people who should be standing up against those attackers are law enforcement and/or the military if absolutely needed; and that’s it.

The question should not be, are guns good or bad, because it’s an irresolvable pissing match and irrelevant to the topic at hand. The real question in this moment is, if the students that you’re claiming to protect don’t or wouldn’t feel safe; is the new legislation really serving its purpose?

Syerra’s Be risky, don’t take college for granted Square Syerra Wycoff Bagshaw Columnist Here we are, cruising into week two, almost three, of the new semester. Some, such as myself, are nearing the close of our collegiate career and sighing mournfully as we wait in anticipation for the adult world, while others are only just beginning their journey with bright eyes and high hopes.

While it may seem pretentious and self indulgent, I wanted to offer a few words of advice to freshmen in order to make the most of their time here at CSC.

First off, I know it sounds like a cliché pamphlet, but join clubs! My freshman year I spent no time going to events or exploring clubs and I found myself quickly isolated; this is especially taxing when already endur-

ing the new stress of being away from familiarity established at home. Joining clubs gives you the opportunity to navigate your interests and discover people who share those same interests.

For me, it happened to lie with the theatre department, where I came to discover some of the best people I’ve ever known; for you it may be in the Rodeo Club, Chi Alpha, or even us at The Eagle! Don’t feel like being in a club suddenly makes you less of an adult, it’s a cheat code to making relationships.

Make all the mistakes you can now.

Some people are going to recommend you avoid making rash decisions, and while I

certainly don’t advocate trying hard drugs or going completely crazy, I think now is the time where people experience the most growth as people. So I encourage you to push yourselves.

Go to a party (even if you feel like you’re going to hate it), reach out to a stranger, fall in and out of love, create and build friendships, go to a new place…the world is yours to discover! And once you reach the end of your college career you’ll realize your opportunities to engage in such frivolous freedom are limited, the impending threat of complete adulthood and settling down looms ever closer. So take risks and give em’ hell!

OPINION

EDITORIAL–THE EAGLE’S VIEW

Kaepernick abuses constitutional right With all the media buzz surrounding Colin Kaepernick, his recent choice to sit during the national anthem should be rightfully judged on both ends of the pendulum. The first side would involve playing devil’s advocate and defend his right to uphold constitutional freedoms, which permit him to make the decision of standing up or not.

On the other end, we’d need to measure the reason behind doing so; which to many has come across immature, hypocritical and cheap. Now, both sides of this argument deserve the same amount of justification and analysis.

Firstly, let’s take a look at the leftists’ viewpoints on this issue that seem to almost unanimously support Kaepernick and his endeavors of expressing his opinion in such a bold fashion.

While on a personal level, there may well be veterans who were in attendance that afternoon who weren’t so thrilled by that decision because of their military status.

Others, however, may not care either way.

If anyone ever pays close attention to the instructions given by the stadium announcer, that person simply says, “We now ask that everyone please rise, and men remove their cover.....”

Nowhere in that inquiry is he demanding that anyone do so, nor is he imposing legal threats against the opposition.

Additionally, despite appearing against the grain, school districts across the country are issuing opt-out slips to parents of students who’d

rather not have their child participating in the Pledge of Allegiance; either because of religious or political standpoints. Those to the far right strongly disagree with this movement, which brings us to the other end of our pendulum.

Shifting gears from rightfulness to conviction, the media is harshly criticizing Kaepernick; including presidential nominee Donald Trump, who suggested Kaepernick move to another country. The media isn’t alone in this idea, with countless Americans loudly vocalizing their outrage via social media; some going as far as typing out personal attacks to his foster parents.

Although the public outcry has flung overboard, his thought process and symbolism fall short in many aspects of this situation. He proclaimed that his intention of not standing up during the national anthem was out of silent protest for treatment of minorities. The reason it comes off so cheaply is because, he himself, has never walked around in minority shoes.

He is indeed half African American; he is the son of an African American father and a Caucasian mother. Kaepernick was an orphan and was adopted by Rick and Teresa Kaepernick; a Caucasian couple from Milwaukee. When Colin was 4 years old, the family moved to Turlock, California, in a predominately wealthy neighborhood. The reason that his stunt comes off as cheap, is due to the fact that he draws in a $16 million salary, and rather than donate to organi-

zations that are actively raising awareness of the dangers of gang life and actively improving the lives of urban youth, he’d rather act like a child and accomplish nothing.

To draw the best from both sides and work toward the middle, maybe the question shouldn’t be which political stances one should take on his behavior. However, what is appropriate for someone of his stature, and in doing so, how heavy the consequences?

If those questions were the ones being brought to the table, there would be a lot more intelligence added to the conversation. Constitutionally, he had every right to not respond to the call; however, due to his celebrity status, he is expected to set a tone of responsibility to the millions of young people who potentially view him as a hero.

As a man in his position, Kaepernick has all the resources in the world at his finger tips. If he sincerely has sympathy for the hardships of the young minorities, then he should make a sensible testimony.

If he chooses to make it public, there’s nothing wrong with that; bring in all the cameras you want and invite anyone who is willing to stand by, be professional and productive in your protests, not animalistic.

Outbursts like this do nothing to better your cause, and everything to worsen it. We at The Eagle, disapprove the execution of his actions, not the execution of his rights.

Hurricane Sandy in 2012 was the largest natural disaster to hit the United States, until recently. Mid-August more than 2 feet of rainfall resulted in devastating flooding in southern Louisiana. President Barack Obama declared the 20 affected parishes as major natural disaster zones.

Gov. John Bel Edwards of Louisiana reports 13 deaths and at least 507,495 people affected by the flood, as of Aug. 22. Affected people includes individuals stranded in their vehicles during the flood, people who lost property, and those unable to go to work or school due to flood waters. The U.S. Coast Guard, National Guard, and volunteers referred to as the Cajun Navy have rescued more than 30,000 people. After responding to emergency calls, rescue workers redouble efforts by returning to devastated areas. Rescue teams are ensuring resident safety by going through all houses to ensure individuals unable to call for help were not left behind.

Louisiana is not unaccustomed to natural disasters; however, the parishes affected by the flooding are considered to be on high ground. Due to the fact of being considered high ground those parishes did not qualify for flood insurance.

Many flooded areas broke historic water level records. The National Weather Service had predicted risk high flooding but a large portion of the population was caught off guard by the more than 2 feet of water.

“Nobody, I think, was prepared for that much rain in that short of a time,” Federal Emergency Management Agency chair Fugate stated in an interview with the National Public Radio.

Declaration of a natural disaster zone enabled federal funding application for damages to the people of affected parishes. After the declaration, FEMA approved $205 million for financial support of flood survivors. Post disaster responses from FEMA, the American Red Cross, and various government agencies are currently being conducted. According to live updates from the White House, FEMA has provided more than 2,400 ground support workers for distribution of water, food, emergency response communication, home clean-up operations, and other tasks.

The American Red Cross has established 18 community shelters providing approximately 2,500 beds for displaced survivors. Meals, clean water, and 126,000 relief items also are being provided by the Red Cross. To ensure clean water supplies, EPA and Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality are currently testing water systems for contamination. Bridges and roads are being repaired by a $2 million of emergency relief fund from the U.S. Department of Transportation. Survivors’ health needs are being attended to by the U.S. DHHS. Flood survivors without health insurance will have medical equipment and medications provided by the for 30 days to ensure proper coverage.

Southern Louisiana will require countless hours of restoration and funds before the devastation from the flood is remedied.

Mullis excited to improve in conference play Preston Goehring Sports Editor As the 2016 season approaches, the CSC volleyball team, under first year Head Coach Riann Mullis, look to improve on last year’s heartbreaking season. In 2015, the Eagles fell just short of the post season, with a record of 9-17, 8-10 in the conference.

The team took the court, Saturday, for a competitive scrimmage in the Chicoine Center.

Mullis said she expects to be more competitive in the conference.

“If we can focus on the changes that we have made and focus on things that are in our control, we will be competitive,” she said.

The Eagles are returning six players that filled starting roles for a portion of last season.

Most notably, Rudy Leasau, senior of LaMesa, California, returns as one of the conference’s top outside hitters. Leasau earned a Second Team AllRMAC selection last season, and a spot on the preseason All-Conference team.

Another outside hitter, Gaby Varela, junior of Dorado, Puerto Rico, finished second in kills behind Leasau last season, and will be another important asset for the Eagles’ frontcourt.

Still a young, developing team, the Eagles have just three seniors, with a handful of key underclassmen.

Madison Webb, sophomore of Loveland, Colorado, returns to the court after a dominating freshman campaign.

VOLLEYBALL Along with her, middle hitter Kenzie Chrisman, sophomore of Sterling, Colorado, and libero Sierra Winkle, sophomore of Tucson, Arizona, hope to improve on their first season.

Mullis was busy in the offseason, bringing in several talented recruits, including three transfer students, and two freshmen.

Emily Bruce, junior of Centerton, Arkansas, was one of the top defensive specialists in the nation last year, playing with Fort Scott Community College, Kansas.

Another defensive specialist, transfer junior Maaryn Davis, a Chadron native, saw quality court time during the scrimmage. Davis transferred from Sheridan College, Wyoming, where she was one of the best setters in junior college.

Mullis said that the team has looked good in practice and is excited for the season.

“I’m excited to see improvements on the things we have been working on,” Mullis said.

“We have a good group of girls. If we stay to-

from page 10 gether and stay focused we can do really well.”

The hitting squad battled intensely throughout the scrimmage, each player making a bid for a starting position.

The Eagles will open their season Friday, in San Diego at the Point Loba Nazarene University Seaside Invitational. At the invite, CSC will duel four teams in two days. The first will be against Saginaw Valley State University, University Center, Michigan, at 11:45 a.m. MST. The Eagles will then play the host team, Point Loma Nazarene University, at 4:30 p.m. MST. The Eagles will go up against a familiar foe in Western New Mexico University, Silver City, 9:30 a.m. MST Saturday, and finish off the weekend against California Baptist University, Riverside, at 6:45 p.m. MST. The first home game for CSC isn’t until Sept. 23, where the Eagles will host Western State Colorado University, Gunnison.

“We have a lot of potential,” Mullis said. “It motivates the girls and it motivates me.”

Ritzen focuses on mindset and adjustments of players Preston Goehring Sports Editor

At the helm of new Head Coach John Ritzen, the young CSC golf team is busy developing and trying to improve each day.

The new coach said he wants to change the mindset of the players, not just at meets, but in practice as well.

“I want to change how they approach a practice,” Ritzen said. “Instead of just hitting balls on the range, think about every shot.”

After losing two senior golfers to graduation, Schuyler Wetzel and Emma Harris, the Eagles landed ninth in the preseason RMAC coaches poll with 38 points. Metropolitan State University-Denver grabbed the top spot in the poll with 120. Colorado Mesa University, Grand Junction, was picked second with 100.

Ritzen hopes to improve on last season and build the mindset that it takes to be a college golfer.

“I’m hoping that we do better than what we are projected,” Ritzen said. “I want to get into the middle of the RMAC this season and continue to improve in the future.”

Ritzen highlighted two golfers that will lead the team.

Mikayla Gallagher, junior of Lead, South Dakota, and Kelli Haynes, junior of Whitney, have a lot of experience and will be the top competitors for the Eagles.

Ritzen also has high hopes for Sam Rahmig, sophomore of Gering, and Karson Langley, junior of Sidney.

“She (Rahmig) is playing and practicing really well,” Ritzen said. “If she can take that work to the course she’ll do really well. Karson (Langley) has the next most experience behind Mikayla (Gallagher) and Kelli (Haynes) and should be another contributor.”

“

The team finished in eighth place at last year’s RMAC tournament in April, where they set a team stroke record of 649.

The team has only one freshman, Sidney Owen, of Rapid City, South Dakota. Ritzen said that she still has some developing to do.

“She still has to grow and add shots to her game just like everyone else before,” he said.

He also said that Owen should be on the bubble of making the travel team.

The CSC golf team will hit the links in Pueblo, Colorado, at the Farmer’s Insurance Samuel Proal Invitiational, Monday and Tuesday, to start the season.

“I want them to learn how to work on every shot and what it takes to be a college golfer,” Ritzen said. “If they can do that, we’ll start to see their scores drop.”

“Travel while you’re young!” Great advice but money is a precious commodity in a college student’s bank account.

Unless you have a magical money tree, paying for a grand adventure seems improbable and daunting. I won’t say that I have a magical money tree but I have figured out money saving tips for the average college student.

2

1

Find a cohesive group of travel partners.

Travel with a group of people that will get along on your adventure. Don’t take someone who won’t jive with the rest of the group just to have another person to cut costs.

Experiences are worth more than $50 and bringing that Debbie downer might deprive the group of an extraordinary experience due to lack of willingness to participate.

Comparison is key.

Random travel adventures are exhilarating but even the most spontaneous adventures need some sort of cost comparison.

The number one money saver is figuring what means of transportation to use. Would it be more cost efficient to rent a car or does someone have gas efficient car? Another cost comparison is if a train, plane, or Greyhound bus would be an alternative means to get from point A to point B. Look into several options to make sure to find the best price.

Not everyone and their dog needs a souvenir.

This may sound harsh but every single person from home does not need a souvenir. Spending money on souvenirs adds up extremely quickly and can weigh down airline luggage resulting in airline baggage charges. A great way to show your loved ones that they were remembered is buying a post card. Post cards are cheap and don’t take up luggage space.

Find alternative housing accommodations.

Hotels consume a major portion of a travel budget.

Camping, hostels, Airbnb, and couch surfing are major ways to save money. Not staying in hotels can easily save $100 per trip. Major savings frees up more of the budget for fun sightseeing experiences.

REd Hamster Illustrated by

Step outside of your comfort zone for the best adventures.

Treat every trip, even the small ones, as the adventure of a lifetime. Go try local cuisine, visit popular local areas that aren’t flooded with tourists, and talk with other travelers to create memorable adventures. Every place is unique so seize the day because that opportunity might never happen again.

Well, it was $30 cheap.

Idiot.

New Yorker breaks down stereotypes with humor Erika Geary Reporter Comedians Rod Reyes and Bryce Stanley entertained students Monday night “In a giant, half empty ballroom on the wrong side of Nebraska,” in the Student Center.

Stanley, Reyes’ opener, took a few minutes to joke about his personal life. Opening with a statement about meeting a girl, getting engaged, then married, and within months, a divorce.

Reyes, a Puerto Rican comedian from New York, joked about the Midwest, racial stereotypes, and other mildly inappropriate subjects. The crowd was actively involved with the act, laughing along with the comedian.

He opened with how happy he was to see a few African Americans in the middle of Nebraska. He broke down racial barriers, making fun of Caucasians, African Americans, and Latinos. please see REYES, page 15

RLA opens renamed lounges Melanie Nelson News Editor Two common rooms in the CSC dormitory complex were renamed this week. The grand opening of “The Landing,” formerly Kent Hall’s “Red Room,” was 8 p.m. Monday, and the “The Hub,” located in the Breezeway and formerly the “Gold Room,” was 7 p.m. Wednesday.

High Rise Resident Director Mariah Nelson said residence life staff and housing decided to rename the rooms at a meeting last spring. She said the change was past due, as neither of the rooms are painted red nor gold anymore.

RLA hosted the events and provided a fun evening for students to hang out. Monday night, students played board games, pool, ping pong, foosball, and shuffleboard. Chips, cookies, and soda were served, and students who signed in could also win raffle prizes.

“We’re showing off what we have,” Nelson said. “It’s

more like an open house.”

She said they used a $170 budget to buy prizes and refreshments from Wal-Mart for Monday’s event. Raffle prizes included a Chromecast, toaster oven, shelving unit, and DVDs. Bingo was the highlight of “The Hub” grand opening, with a mini fridge as top prize. A $350 budget allowed for a few bigger prizes Wednesday night, and pizza was also served.

Along with the name change, “The Hub,” is featuring some new furniture. Housing and residence life spent about $8,000 on the leather chairs that are currently in “The Hub,” and coffee tables that will arrive mid-September, according to Austen Stephens, associate director of housing and residence life.

“The room is constantly being improved as it is a student lounge and programming space, but we just wanted to get the name change out across campus,” Stephens said.

Comedian Rod Reyes, of New York, dances to demonstrate a joke on stage Monday in the Student Center Ballroom.

Describing different states geography and topography Reyes pointed out that Angora is in need of a tip jar outside the town line.

He then asked if there was anyone attending from Texas, one male raised his hand.

Reyes continued, saying that Texans are “just plain weird.”

Reyes also commented on the different type of entertainment that the younger generation enjoys, such as little people and music. He compared it to how his generation of “old people” view entertainment.

He spoke about how much music has changed over the century; how each generation thinks that the next style of music is garbage.

He mentioned a petition in New York to have equal opportunity employment in the fire department. Allowing little people to be employed as rescuers.

“Fire men need to be 6 feet 5 inches and 380 pounds,” Reyes said.

Reyes complimented the crowd on their participation and attendance. He also told them his reason for doing what he does is “the glamor.”

He mentioned that his agent wanted to get him an audition for a Viagra commercial. Enraged, Reyes pointed out the reasons he did not want to do that.

Approximately two-thirds of the chairs were filled for this event. Everyone in attendance appeared to enjoy the performance and was able to laugh freely at Reyes act. Reyes was grateful for having those in attendance, and closed with a “goodnight.”
