Chadron State is contracting with the international Logo Design Works agency to design a new logo for the institution, Marketing Coordinator Justin Haag said Monday.

Triggered by outdated signage and exacerbated by misuse, the college hopes to improve the continuity of its institutional identity by developing a new logo, Haag said.

“There’s quite a few marks out there,” he said. “We hope to create less confusion by bringing in the new mark.”

Haag said he and his College Relations staff noticed an increased use of the college’s athletics logo in cases where the institutional logo should have been used.

Noting the signage on the east and west sides of campus that features an outdated CSC logo, Haag said the timing for an identity update was ideal, as the decision coincides with the college’s plans to replace a majority of its signage.

“We’re looking to replace signage anyway,” Haag said.

“Those outdated signs triggered the discussion of the logo and where we wanted to go.”

From its Cleveland office, Logo Design Works created three prototypes that the college presented Tuesday. The college is hosting another information session at 11 a.m. today in the Student Center’s Ponderosa Room.

The college is paying the graphic design agency $1,500 for its design services.

Haag said that the college is looking for feedback on the three designs, and that he hopes to have a design adopted soon.

“We’re just trying to get feedback at this point,” Haag said. “It’d be nice to adopt one by the end of the year.”

Haag also said the college wants to use as much of its current stationary and business cards as possible prior to the switch to prevent waste and save money.

STUDENT SENATE

THURSDAY, SEPT. 27, 2012 CAMPUS ACTIVITIES BOARD

Senate rounds out dorm representation Sara Labor Lifestyles Editor Student Senate swore in Jacob Rissler as the new Andrews Hall representative this week, fulfilling its objective to have a student from each residence hall serving on Senate.

Rissler resigned from his position as senator at large in order to apply for the Andrews Hall representative position. Rissler said he was disappointed when no student volunteered to serve as Andrews Hall’s representative, and since he was on the committee that created residence hall representatives, he saw it as an important position to fill. Rissler was voted in unanimously.

In other news, Vice President T.J. Thomson said that he had done some research on how to advertise Student Senate and increase the visibility of its desk hours. Thomson said that they could have a six-foot-wide by three-foot-high banner made which

would cost $150, or could have 25 T-shirts made with front and back inking that would cost $287. The discussion was tabled until the next meeting.

Ashley Swanson, treasurer, said that Student Senate Finance Committee applications were due last Friday. Swanson received eight applications, and said that interviews would be on Thursday. The most appropriate applicants will then be brought to senate for approval.

Swanson also said that there is $83,738 in un-allocated funds.

President James Bahensky said the pep rally on Thursday went well and that more than 300 people were served.

CAB President Dani Buckley said that CAB had talked about Zombieland “rules” as a theme for the homecoming parade floats.

She also said that they are currently looking for club involvement for the club fair.

Thomson asked Buckley that CAB look at getting outdated club contact information

on CSC’s website updated.

Thomson said that Interim Executive of Student Affairs Aaron Prestwich is currently putting together a packet about Board Policy 3300, which requires clubs to move fundraised funds to an off-campus account. The packet will be brought before Student Senate and CAB next week.

Thomson also said that last week there was a request to see if ice machines could be put in other buildings besides the Student Center and Kent Hall. Thomson said that Mansfield Enterprises supplies the ice machines on campus, and that he and Bahensky had submitted a formal petition to college administrators requesting that an ice machine be installed in Edna.

Bahensky said that Nathan Pindell has resigned from his position on constitutional court and that the Senate would need someone to fill that position as well as the position of corresponding secretary. Those interested should contact Bahensky.

Chadron State's facelift continues with revised website launch T.J. Thomson Executive Editor

A screenshot of Chadron State's re-designed website.

The new website is set to launch this week.

Users of csc.edu can expect to see a fresh look this week when Chadron State launches a live version of its redesigned site, Webmaster Andrew Schmid said Wednesday.

The site, a hand-coded project, was internally developed by Dan Binkard, graphic design artist; Dewayne Gimeson, public information specialist; and Schmid.

The team's overall objective was "to create a functional site that is usable for students, the campus community, and alumni," Binkard said Wednesday.

Binkard said that content and navigation will remain largely the same, but that the design is significantly different.

"It [the new design] could be called a minimal look," Binkard said. "We're trying to keep it as clean as possible."

The site's last redesign was in 2010.

One of Binkard's chief concerns is maintaining compatibility across a diverse array of browsers and devices, including tablets and mobile phones.

"We want to make sure it works on those devices," Binkard said. "It can be an evolutionary process, but we can get it working if we find there are incompatibilities."

CAB talks funding, homecoming plans Sara Labor Lifestyles Editor Homecoming plans and Board Policy 3300 continued to be CAB's main discussion topic this week.

Dani Buckley, CAB president, said that each club will be allocated $50 spending money for homecoming. Each club is asked to turn in a written proposal for supplies to the CAB executive board by Oct. 13. Laure Sinn, adviser, said that she would be willing to pick up supplies for clubs from Wal-Mart.

Buckley also said that the club carnival slated for the Deans Green will be know as the “Carn’evil” honoring the Zombie Apocalypse theme. Those wanting to set up a booth for the carnival should see Shellie Johns by Oct. 4.

Lane Swedberg reminded the CAB that homecoming royalty nominations are due Oct. 12, pictures of royalty nominees will be Oct. 17 and 18, voting begins Oct. 22, and ends Oct. 24.

In other business; • Aaron Prestwich, interim executive director of student affairs, said he is preparing a packet about Board Policy 3300, which states that club money gained by fundraising has to be moved to an off-campus account.

Prestwich said that clubs have aired concerns about the policy, but added that the packet contains recommendations and guidelines that should answer questions club advisers or members might have.

• Kellie Aye, treasurer said that there is $7,985 in CAB’s un-allocated funds.

• Darren Burrows, student events coordinator, said homecoming week kicks off with a free bowling night Oct. 20, and a free movie night, Oct. 21. Burrows also said that Late Night at the Pit would be the Price is Right 9 p.m. tonight.

“If you’re struggling with a class, seek help from your instructor, a peer, or us.”

“Schedule time to do your homework – and stick to it!”

“We don’t want to throw all that [the current materials with the college’s logo] out and have a big waste,” Haag said. “We’re trying to inform the public now to prevent that.”

Haag said that the college uses on-campus sources for the majority of its signage.

“Anything we can produce [on campus], we do,” he said.

At the college’s Tuesday morning logo presentation, Haag and his team of five College Relations employees spoke to three audience members about identity branding.

Specifically, Haag provided an overview on the college’s past logos, addressed logo misuse, and the design process for the proposed logo.

CSC instituted its former logo, an eagle flying over a pillar, in 2000, before adopting the current logo in 2007.

The college’s athletics logo was implemented in 2006.

The prototype designs incorporate the athletic logo’s “C” with the words “Chadron State College.”

“It seems that the general trend [in logo design] is toward simplicity,” Daniel Binkard, graphic design artist, said.

Haag said that the prototype logo’s design, including fonts, colors, and the symbol, is not finalized, and may be still be revised. Also, he said individuals could use the logo as one element, or two separated parts-symbol and text.

The College Relations Department has printed comment cards for each of the three designs and encourages the campus community to fill them out and place them in a box next to the logo display in the Student Center.

A sign on the west side of CSC’s campus displays the institution’s logo that was used from 2000-07. Similar signs exist throughout campus, and are due for replacement, CSC’s Marketing Director Justin Haag said Monday.

EDITORIAL — THE EAGLE’S VIEW

Photo ID for dining software is essential It’s not uncommon hearing students complain about certain Dining Services policies, particularly the policy that requires one to have their student ID card to get their meals.

Be it the Cafeteria, the Grille, or the C-Store, students are familiar hearing, “Sorry, you need your card. You can’t just give your student ID number.”

Why is it that way? Well, as Tracy Shuck, senior director of dining operations, put it, it’s simply a security matter. “Anyone can take a students’ number,” Shuck says. “And they can take that number and use it to get food off of someone else’s account.” Therefore, students need their card with them to ensure the staff that the ID matches the student.

The only regulatory flaw is students who lose their cards and can’t get access to their meals. If a card is lost or stolen, the owner must inform Dining Services right away so that they can contact Housing and give students a pass. Otherwise, someone may get away with using another person’s card for their meals, which is not uncommon, says Shuck. Just last spring one student didn’t report their card as lost, and someone used the card to obtain more than $100 in meals.

Presently, the Dining Services software has name and ID number recognition, but no photo identification. Shuck says that while it would be a great security improvement, the idea “has never been pursued” and the software upgrade costs are the biggest challenge. Such a program would allow the staff to easily verify a student’s identity, and catch wrongdoers in the act if the time comes.

For those who may lose their ID cards, they would have the chance to enter their student number and their picture would appear.

Thus there would be no problem accessing their meals.

It would be a good idea for students and the administration to consider upgrading the Dining Services software. This would certainly cut down on theft, student dissatisfactions, and long-term costs. Everyone wants to ensure the plans students paid for are protected, and also wants to make sure that transactions go smoothly.

New software with photo ID capabilities would help these objectives, and while not all problems can be resolved with one quick fix, this move could certainly fill the cracks in the current system.

Time to choose the lesser of two evils Josh Rose

Contributor Quite often I overhear people saying that they’re voting for President Obama, or see pro-Obama clothes and accessories.

Personally, I do not plan on voting ObamaBiden, despite the fact that I grew up with welfare the majority of my life, and also am a student of color. Now, that isn’t to discredit the good nominees that President Obama has nominated, as there are a handful of individuals who deal with Native American affairs who I’ve had the privilege of getting to know. But I hold the belief that it’s time for the country to have someone who isn’t a seasoned lawyer become president, and if that individual is an experienced businessman, then so be it.

Being a former Obama supporter, I’ve

found that one issue that came up in 2008 can no longer apply in this election, and that’s the topic of race. One of my colleagues from this summer mentioned that if President Obama doesn’t win another term it will be because of his race. That doesn’t make any sense; he’s already president, so race can’t be an issue anymore.

The biggest accomplishment during his presidency, what he’ll be forever remembered for, is the killing of Osama Bin Laden (though that’s also largely thanks to SEAL Team 6 and the CIA). He is also one of the biggest advocates of authorizing drone attacks, which is ironic considering he won the Nobel Peace Prize just days into his presidency. At the same time, the economy has been at one of the lowest points in history under his leadership, though that isn’t entirely his fault (it’s also the Bush administration’s fault).

I’m not trying to say people should vote for the Romney-Ryan ticket either. Because as is the case with virtually every presidential election, individuals have to choose between what they consider the lesser of two evils. Obama has some pretty solid Native American poli-

cies, despite the fact that I still have yet to hear about him visiting a Native American reservation. Romney is a proven businessman, and a religious man, although I don’t agree with the Mormon faith.

Personally, I’m planning on voting for who I view to be the lesser of the two evils, Romney-Ryan. Now some will disagree with me, but I will respond by saying: Can the nation go any farther downhill than it already has and still be a democracy? Certainly. Looking at things from this perspective gives a businessman a better chance to win than a lawyer.

If he’s given four years and he doesn’t prove himself, then guess what? When 2016 comes around with a better crop of Democrats you can choose to boot out Romney-Ryan (if they get elected at all). This is the beauty of government. Now bureaucracy, on the other hand, that’s an entirely different story.

Some could say that this state is going to go red no matter what, and they’ve probably got a good point there, but one doesn’t have much room to complain unless he or she votes. I’ve chosen my lesser of two evils, everyone else must soon choose theirs.

The road to graduation may be long and tedious at times, but by being willing to sacrifice certain things in life you can reach your graduation destination much quicker.

Franklin Annis, Justy Bullington, NaKaya Fester, Nathan Pindell

Sacrifice is needed to reach your destination Franklin Annis Columnist

As a college professor and army officer I often have conversations with my peers about my students and soldiers. Unfortunately a lot of my conversations end with “he/she has potential.” While my goal is always to help those around me develop their own personal abilities in order to reach their goal, I often see them fall far short. Too often I see students with the ability and tools but without the desire to reach their goals. This usually leads to multiple conversations about what they want to accomplish just to see them stagnate.

It takes more than simple desire to reach one’s dreams.

So, what is the required ingredient for success? Some would call it grit, others a tolerance for pain. Ultimately one must to be willing to sacrifice in order to reach one’s goals. Students must be willing to make the changes in their lives to ensure that they are successful. It goes beyond

simple desire to sustained desire under stress. For a college student, that might mean giving up time spent on socializing or playing video games to study more.

For an employee, it might mean taking on duties that no one else wants to in order to display his or her ability to handle tasks beyond his/her job descriptions in order to get promoted. While for many the need to complete a goal will not be pleasurable or desirable, but being able to reach that goal will be.

Please don’t get me wrong. The willingness to make sacrifices alone will not make you successful. I have seen a lot of individuals that were willing to throw themselves into their work but had no clue how to get from point “A” to point “B,” nor any of the tools to complete their tasks. The trick in life is to develop clear plans on how to reach a goal. Everyone should seek out the help of those that have made the journey to aid them along their path.

People must learn from the mistakes of others before they make the same mistakes. If someone is forging a new path, they can seek out the help of anyone willing to aid them. Sometimes aid may be nothing more than encouragement. It’s easier to reach a goal with a solid plan and support system. The next step is to add grit in abundance. Completing any task that one can truly be proud of will be

“

painful in some way or another. This pain separates those that truly wish to be successful from those less motivated.

When I was younger, I had the opportunity to train with the Air Force Para-Rescue. That unit made a point to separate the “wanna-be’s” from the “gonna-be’s.” The simple shift from saying “I want to be ‘X’” to “I am going to be ‘X’” may just provide a person enough grit to complete the task. It changes a student’s goals from options to requirements. This simple phrase change can dramatically impact how we psychologically process the challenges that come with completing our goals. This changes those painful experiences from something that could be avoided to a requirement for success and reaching our goals.

I challenge everyone to stop being “Wanna-be’s” and start becoming “Gonna-be’s.” Stop wanting to be a college graduate. Make the sacrifices to ensure that you are going to be a graduate. If I can promise one thing, it is that it is going to hurt in some way or another. But if students are going to experience the pain, they might as well taste the reward.

Learn to start interpreting pain a challenge.

Reach down deep and find the grit that will lead to success.

The simple shift from saying “I want to be ‘X’” to “I am going to be ‘X’” may just provide a person enough grit to complete the task.

Barrett Browne Reporter On Saturday, the Chadron State Eagles got everything except a shutout.

The Eagles recorded back-to-back interceptions in the first quarter that were both returned for touchdowns. The Eagles played lights out as they defeated Western State 45-7 on family day at Elliot Field.

“Starting off with two interceptions returned for touchdowns really set the tone for the entire game,” head Coach Jay Long said.

Sophomore quarterbacks Jonn McLain of Chadron and Patrick O’Boyle of Gering, combined for 224 yards and four touchdowns

on 21 of 26 passing.

All three of McLain’s scores came in the second quarter. His first touchdown pass was caught by junior wide receiver Nathan Ross of San Diego on an 18-yard post route over the middle. The other two were completed by freshman wide receiver Kyle Vinich of Casper, Wyo., for 12 yards, and senior tailback Dominic Morris of Rialto, Calif., for 19 yards.

“Jonn is just a really intelligent football player,” Long said. “He has great athleticism and accuracy, and his receivers are running great routes for him.”

At halftime, the Eagles lead 35-0. To open up the third quarter, sophomore kicker Alex Ferdinand of Rapid City, S.D., kicked a career-high 47-yard field goal. With O’Boyle at

quarterback, CSC added another touchdown in the third on a 19-yard pass to sophomore wide receiver Andrew Rios of Lexington.

Chadron’s defense recorded four total interceptions and five tackles for loss on Saturday.

Senior safety Bryce Huebner of Hershey was the leading tackler with nine.

Western State made a little noise in the final quarter. They acquired 109 yards and got on the board when junior quarterback Brian Duboski of Porterville, Calif. completed a pass to junior wide receiver Lukas Adams of Colorado Springs, Colo., for 11 yards and a touchdown.

Chadron State is set to play again at Adams State University this Saturday in Alamosa, Colow. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.

Volleyball suffers two losses, hosts home RMAC games over weekend

Mines’ men, Chadron women win meet

Sports Editor Chadron State’s volleyball team came out strong against University of Colorado-Colorado Springs, but couldn’t put a full game together.

Eagles won the first set 25-18, and the Mountain Lions took the next three 25-14, 25-20, 25-15.

UCCS’ defense caused the Eagles to have a negative hitting percentage in the final two sets, after they hit .433 in the opening set. UCCS hit a low .200 for the game, but it was enough for the win. Nikki Kizner from UCCS led the Mountain Lions with 15 kills and six blocks. Her teammate Kim Catlett added 12 more kills.

On offense, Mallory Irvine, junior middle hitter of Ravenna, had the most kills with twelve and seven blocks. Right behind her was junior middle hitter of Cheyenne, Wyo., Jessica Jester with with nine. Hitters spiked off the 23 assists Justine Ackey, freshman setter of Phoenix, Ariz., provided.

Kristina Harter, senior libero of Colorado Springs, Colo., had a match-high 26 digs. Senior setter of Rapid City, S.D., Alyssa Bauer helped out adding 14 more.

On Tuesday, the Eagles were back on the road, headed to play Wayne State in a non-confer-

ence match. Even with the intensity the Eagles brought, it wasn’t enough to secure the win.

Wayne overpowered them with a 25-18, 18-25, 25-18, 25-20 match score.

The match consisted of 16 match ties and five lead changes, showing the effort the Eagles were putting forth.

“I was pleased with their effort, especially with the level of competition we played. They were constantly battling,” head interim coach Janel Baily said. “We have some things to clean up before the weekend though.”

Wayne’s hitting percentage was .176, barely ahead of Chadron’s .150. Wayne’s Lauren Siechmann led the Wildcats with 13 kills and Cori Hobbs contributed another 12.

Erika Roybal, sophomore outside hitter of Denver, led the Eagles with 13 kills. On defense, Harter, Ackey and Bauer combined for 47 digs.

This weekend, CSC volleyball, now 3-10, looks forward to hosting the first home games of the season.

“The girls are excited to show their peers and community the improvement they’ve made and the better level of playing they’re at,” Baily said.

The Eagles play two RMAC conference games.

They face Colorado Christian University at 7 p.m., Friday, then Colorado School of Mines at 5 p.m., Saturday.

Sports Editor Chadron State College’s women’s cross country team won its third straight meet on Saturday at the South Dakota School of Mines course.

The same two female runners led the team to victory. Senior of Chadron Ashley Riesen and Jayme Nunes, freshman of Alliance, came in first and second respectively. Four other Chadron women runners finished in the top ten.

On the men’s side, head coach Ryan Baily saw improvement.

“The most positive thing was the gap time from the first to fifth runner was only 70 seconds,” Baily said.

Freshman of Gering, Domingo Torres, finished first for the Eagles and seventh overall, running a 28:03.01. Alex Johnson, senior of Kearney, came in right behind Torres with a time of 28:08.08.

The Eagle runners won’t compete for two weeks until the Chili Pepper festival, held in Fayetteville, Ark. There are 35 teams registered for each gender, escalating the competition dramatically.

“The next two weeks are very difficult Photo by Shaun Wicen as we have increased the volume and the intensity of the workouts.

Sarah Kingsbury, 21, senior of Winner, S.D., paints a sign Wednesday afternoon in Memorial Hall. Kingsbury is one of several students doing production and set work for the upcoming Theatre Department’s “Little Shop of Horrors” production.

NAME: Derek Phelps AGE: 19 RANK: Sophomore CHARACTER: Seymour Krelborn FAVORITE PART IN THE PLAY: “I like the song ‘You Never Know.’ It’s a fun song and I get to control one of the plant puppets.”

HOW THIS MUSICAL COMPARES TO OTHERS: “This one has been more vocally challenging with the character’s accent and also the high range.”

MOST DIFFICULT THING ABOUT THE SHOW: “There’s a lot more to [Seymour] besides the nerdy boy-next-door type of person. I don’t see him as the nerdy, klutzy boy, so playing him in the more non-traditional way is difficult.”

NAME: Lauren Morris AGE: 19 RANK: Sophomore CHARACTER: Crystal (Chorus) FAVORITE PART IN THE PLAY: “My favorite part is watching the plant interact with the people and seeing something inanimate become alive.”

HOW THIS MUSICAL COMPARES TO OTHERS: “The biggest difference is becoming a character with two other people, you can’t make decisions unless the other two are of the same mind set.”

FAVORITE CHARACTER: “I really like Mrs. Luce; she’s just hilarious. She’s a cross-dresser, for one, and she’s just there and real.”

THURSDAY, SEPT. 27, 2012

NAME: Zachary Henderson AGE: 19 RANK: Sophomore CHARACTER: Mr. Mushnik HOW THIS MUSICAL IS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER EXPERIENCES: “This is a little more professional; you have to do your own work.”

LIGHT AND DARK IN THE SHOW: “A lot of the songs are bright, which evens out the darkness of the play itself. The play is pretty dark, so the way they score the music makes it balance out pretty well.”

FAVORITE CHARACTER: “I am partial to the plant; I think he has some great lines and songs, plus the puppet itself is cool.”

NAME: Ashley Rushman AGE: 19 RANK: Junior CHARACTER: Audrey HOW THIS MUSICAL IS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER EXPERIENCES: “Back home in community theater I was in The Sound of Music and Oklahoma!

College is more advanced and fun.”

LIGHT AND DARK IN THE SHOW: The music lightens the mood; there’s murder and they’re singing about that fact.”

HOW THE TIME PERIOD AFFECTS THE SHOW: “For my role particularly, I’m tortured by my boyfriend, which is a big deal no matter what, but was a really big deal in that time period, so it increases the conflict.”

‘Horrors’ make their way to the main stage Sara Labor Lifestyles Editor As the opening date approaches for Chadron State College’s production of “Little Shop of Horrors,” the real horror is preparing for such a huge musical.

However, the cast and crew are eager for a good show. With the set prepared and an excited cast, it’s hard not to look forward to the second musical the theatre program has put on in two years.

“Little Shop of Horrors” is a musical based on the 1960 movie by Roger Corman. The off-Broadway show, with music and lyrics

by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, was first performed in 1982. The musical was then adapted into a movie directed by Frank Oz in 1986.

“Little Shop” is the story of Seymour Krelborn, a young man working on “Skid-Row” in a flower shop. One day, Seymour happens upon an interesting plant, who attracts customers, but happens to prefer a diet of blood and flesh. The plant promises Seymour fame and fortune in return for human bodies to feed on.

Perhaps the most interesting thing about the play is that it is a comedy, but a very dark one.

“It’s definitely different from the movie,” Rebecca French, senior of Alliance, who plays Chiffon, said. “It’s a family-friendly show in that it has the love story and the music and toward the end it gets dark.”

“The doo-wop girls are singing about murder and it’s ridiculous. The music lightens it up,” Lauren Morris, sophomore of Denver, who plays Crystal, said.

The play is also interesting for the plant itself, known as Audrey II. There are four puppets used for the plant, rented from Intermission Productions and Puppet Factory out of Tracy, Calif., according to Scott Cavin, assistant professor of visual and performing arts.

“You have to create an atmosphere and a mood that the puppet can thrive in, but it also has to be in a place where it doesn’t hinder anything,” Cavin said.

James Steele, freshman of Lincoln, provides the plant’s voice. Rather than being on stage, Steele voices the plant from the booth.

“I want to do voices for characters in animated movies, so it’s kind of prepping me for it,” Steele said.

“If I had to choose a favorite character, it would probably be the plant and James’ impact on the plant,” French said. “He’s done a really great job.”

Meanwhile onstage, Michael Kruger, senior of Gordon, controls Audrey II. “It’s different from other shows in the fact that I’m not actually onstage, I’m inside a puppet onstage, so it’s completely different acting. I have to act and move in ways to make the plant believable.”

“One of the things that’s nice with the company is that the puppets are built to be expressive,” Cavin said.

“Little Shop of Horrors” hits the stage Thursday. Show times are Thursday, Friday Oct. 5, Saturday Oct. 6 at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday Oct. 7 at 2 p.m. To reserve tickets, call 430-6360 or email boxoffice@csc.edu.
