CAB plans for homecoming Kathryn Sullivan Reporter

Homecoming, even though it is a month away, has kicked CAB into high gear.

It was announced by CAB Chair Lane Swedberg that the Homecoming Royalty Nominations are due Monday Sept. 23, by 4:00 p.m. Sept. 26 will be the Royalty Nominations’ Photograph session and the actual voting will begin on Sept. 27.

Voting will close at noon on Oct. 3. This will all be done electronically and sent to your Eaglemail.

The club bed sheets will also be due by noon on Sept. 27.

In other homecoming news, as a new incentive for a club float for the parade on Oct. 5, the first ten clubs that say they are doing a float will get an extra $100 for supplies.

Another topic brought up was improving CAB itself.

It was decided that there should be a tagline for CAB and the one voted on was, “Different people, different passions, one group” won the vote. Swedberg also asked representatives to email the CAB executive board with any suggestions that would improve the group in any way.

Shellie Johns, CAB adviser, announced that she will be going to Austin, Texas next week for the Galaxy Series to find events, and told club representatives to let her know if they had any suggestions.

Johns also made a reminder that any fundraising that would be going on at athletic events needed to be approved and anyone without approval will be asked to leave.

ask your representatives: “What events can students look forward to for Homecoming week?”

Events include a Superhero Dance, with more details to come, a Spirit Rally on Oct. 3, the Eagle 5k Run/ Walk on October 5 at 8:00 a.m., the Chadron vs.

Adams St. football game Oct. 5 starting at 1:30 p.m., and a Formal Homecoming Dance Oct. 5 from 9:00 p.m. to midnight.”

– Lane Swedberg, CAB Chair.

A map of the campus outlines where students and faculty can park, and what parts are designated for specific groups of people.

Park the tickets; know the facts Ashley Swanson News Editor

“I got a parking ticket.”

Parking on campus can sometimes be as confusing as finding a new class on the first day of school, and this phrase has not only been used by students, but also faculty members.

Chadron State does a decent job at placing signs signifying where on-campus residents; commuter students; and faculty may park without receiving one of those $20 tickets, but what about those areas not marked?

According to the 2013-14 parking regulations pamphlet, commuter students are allowed to park in all areas around campus except in residence hall parking lots [Edna Work Hall, High Rise, Kent Hall, etc.]. Resident students are permitted to park only in the residence parking lots. “Faculty and staff may park in either commuter or residents lots.”

Despite the designated areas, all vehicles parked on campus, with the exception of open lots, to which no permit is needed,

parking permits must be attached to the lower right side of the back window. If a sticker is not visible, or the vehicle does not have one, the possibility of being ticketed increases.

All commuter, on-campus students, and faculty and staff will be ticketed if: The vehicle does not display a parking permit.

Parking in an unauthorized area.

Blocking driveways or sidewalks.

Parking in red zones or handicap spots.

Parking vehicles where they are not permitted to park [commuters parking in resident areas or vice versa].

Having the parking permit improperly displayed.

Having two classes of parking permits on the vehicle.

If a ticket is issued, students and faculty and staff have the right to appeal the ticket. “Appeals must be in writing and submitted to the Parking Office within 10 days of the date of the ticket.” All forms can be found in the business and parking office. Or, if the person chooses not to appeal, tickets must be paid to the business office.

If a student owes a fine to the business office, a hold may be placed on the student’s account until the fine is paid.

EDITORIAL–THE EAGLE’S VIEW

Tweet stats paint bleak future for old media

R

ecord executives and marketing personnel are struggling, now more than ever, to make their products and talent relevant to an array of tech-savvy millennials.

Gone are the days where actual record sales were the metric for success. The recent trend has been over-the-top award show performances that place the star out like a marionette.

And the new measure? Tweets-per-minute.

While the title for top tweet index is still the 2012 presidential race (327,452 tweets), Miley Cyrus’s over-discussed risqué VMA performance falls in second place, netting 306,100 tweets and breaking the previous 231,000 tweet record during the 2013 Super Bowl black out.

This might just seem like numbers to a casual observer, but in the age of digital piracy, it’s pay dirt for a record company. They have to set the benchmark with conspicuous indicators of social media consumption in order to see that their brand is getting out to the consumer.

It’s important to remember that twitter is a tool, and that such grandstanding only marginalizes actual tweets of historical importance. Certainly 20 years from now, no one is going to frame the cultural significance of “OMG #MileyCyrus.”

But what might be forever immortalized is a tweet from May 1, 2011, composed by Sohaib Athar of Abbottabad, Pakistan: “Helicopter is hovering above Abottabad at 1AM (rare event).”

Athar’s tweet inadvertently exposed the start of a U.S. raid on Osama Bin Laden’s compound. Tweets culled during the Arab spring have also been collected and archived for posterity; ensuring a nearly limitless supply of tedious context analysis work for graduate students.

So while these spectacles gather a lot of hype on social networks, there’s one thing that can be certain. They’re going to have to be increasingly provocative to catch the star-struck eyes and tweet-deck cramped fingers. Soon, nothing will satiate us, and then where will we go?

We will be unphased once the gig is up, and consumers and media viewers will get tired, change the channel and simply ignore the gimmick.

Before any renaissance, there has to be a dark age. We just think that it can’t come soon enough.

Your mom doesn’t live here

R

esidents were a little shocked over the weekend when the trash chutes in High Rise became clogged. During the break, an unfortunate soul threw a pizza box down the chute, where it got stuck.

As a result, trash wasn’t able to get through and it piled up all the way to the third floor.

According to maintenance staff, this isn’t an unusual occurrence. “This happens around maybe half a dozen times per semester. Usually the custodians take the trash on weekends, but since they weren’t able to, the load has increased from 14 bags to about 20.”

Under normal circumstances, one would assume that the residents would just take their trash outside, right? Wrong. This hasn’t been the case, as trash continued to stack up just outside the chutes.

Perhaps this was because most students went home for Labor Day, or they just didn’t feel like taking the long and grueling trek to the dumpster outside.

Come on guys, is that really necessary?

This is college, a.k.a. the time of your life where you are supposed to be growing up; your mommy and daddy aren’t going to be around to pick up after you, take care of all your messes and change your diaper. Does it really take that much effort to go to the elevator, go to the first floor, walk to the dumpster, drop your trash off there, and go back to your room? When you type it all out, it seems like it might be a bit of a chore, but that is exactly what you had to do as a kid, so you should be pretty good at it by this point.

I don’t think that the guy who threw the pizza box down the chute expected this to happen, so it isn’t entirely his fault, but still, you shouldn’t just dump your trash in the middle of the hallway, especially when it smells like booze. How would you like to be the guy that has to take care of it all?

Have you ever heard older folks saying “This generation is so lazy?” Well it’s the little things like this that prove their point. I will admit there are some days where I’m struck with a general sense of ennui and don’t even try to move out of that comfy spot on my bed, but those days are called “the weekend.”

MAN ON THE STREET

Seriously?

Richard Heule Contributor Laziness can be nice once in a while when you are overworked and you feel like your world is crashing around you or some melodramatic stuff like that, but you shouldn’t let it get in the way of your day-to-day rituals. Like some of those people that don’t show up for class weeks at a time. Yes, this was me at a few points, and I’m sure that a few of you have gone through the same thing, but trust me, it will come back to haunt you when you get your report card.

There’s nothing wrong with taking a day off once in a while.

Everyone needs a break every now and then. But don’t be that guy or girl who just thinks, “Meh I’ll just leave it here, someone will come take care of it.”

That’s a bad mentality to have. Like I said earlier, would you like to be the guy that has to go to every floor in the building and take all the trash out of the hallways?

Seriously though, if the trash is all in the hall, why would you put your booze there? That is a horrible idea.

A suicide note I never wrote

P

rovoked by a fit of insomnia and the magnitude of my troubled thoughts, I called The Veterans Crisis Line at 2 a.m., Wednesday.

That’s the first time I’ve had to do that, and I hope it will be the last, because it drained every ounce of courage I had. Lately life has been too much for me.

In the past three weeks I have had to contend with my eviction, the death of my grandmother, my position at The Eagle, a 15-credit hour class load, and financial woes stemming from a laundry list of problems.

I spent five years as a United States Marine with two combat deployments and four continents under my boots. I ought to be used to stress and politics, but the camel’s back broke several straws ago.

During my tour of duty, I maintained a callous outlook toward suicide because I saw it in-line with someone who fakes a cold; it’s a thinly masked attempt to avoid duty. Suicide was taboo from the beginning of boot camp, and I remember recruits looking for an easy-out once they realized the recruiter lied to them. The stock threat was that they’d cut their wrists with cheap issued BIC razors.

Suicidal recruits were often transferred to a special separations platoon for a few long, miserable weeks, and then sent home with a general discharge; failure to adapt.

Most of these “kids” weren’t ready to be yelled at by drill instructors, and the standard reaction is, “Well, then why the hell did you join the Marines?”

As a recruit, I was forced to stand guard and watch these phony suicide cases.

It’s a degrading activity, but it’s necessary. You don’t prepare someone for combat by having a namby-pamby “feeling acknowledgement” hour, and there were no campfire Kumbayas.

That cultivation carried on as soon as I entered the Fleet Marine Force.

Commanders would harp on the warning signs in hour-long safety stand-down and suicide prevention briefs. We were sat down and forced to view the same 45-slide powerpoint presentations every time a Marine on base killed himself. It was about as compassionate as the government can make any activity, but there was something I always noticed.

When a guy made up his mind, he would walk to a portajohn and suck-start his rifle, but he rarely set off any red flags.

Everyone was left baffled as to why he took the easy way out.

Spike Jordan Managing Editor This isn’t to say that I didn’t care for my fellow Marines, I had something a lot of Non-Commissioned Officers didn’t; a conscience. But if you vocalized wanting to end it, you were shamed. That was just part of the culture, as far as I could tell, no matter how principally messed up that idea seems.

Paraphrasing a line from Gustav Hasford; “A glass rifle will shatter if fired.”

As a leader, you can’t rely on that.

If I was struggling, I never mentioned it. The mission was first; troop welfare, second. And so it should be, after all. The pretension of the world’s most deadly and disciplined fighting force carries a larger-than-life John Wayne attitude, along with an aura of being “tougher than chicken lips.”

But I can’t convince myself of the machismo dream anymore. Maybe it’s the “liberal arts” education that’s softened my will to fight, but most people on campus can’t even relate to how that feels.

I used to be able to rely on the Roman Catholic Church, a faith I was raised in, but a year in Afghanistan and a semester of Western civ dispelled that illusion for me. I’m not an atheist, but I’ve come to the opinion that if there is a God, he’s a cruel and miserable son-of-a... fill-in-the-blank.

And because that’s my opinion, maybe God has dropped these circumstances in my lap just to spite me; to teach me a lesson. I was raised to believe that suicide sends you straight to Hell, and if that fiery pit is my fate, so be it.

But if that’s God’s plan for me, he can do his own fricking dirty work. —The Veterans Crisis Line is 1-800-273-8255.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Dear editor: Someone recently stole my black and red thumb drive from one of the computers in the computer lab of Old Admin.

While I understand that whoever took it was probably a “poor college student” who can’t afford the calories to walk, gas to drive or money to buy a thumb drive of their own, there are those of us who actually work while going to school

and can’t afford to waste time trying to replace what was on the thumb drive.

Ashley Swanson News Editor Imagine walking through a set of wooden doors attached to an old, stone church to be greeted by twinkling Christmas lights strung across branches of artificial trees and warm air, as “People are crazy,” by Billy Currington seeps from the speakers, inviting couples to dance.

No, this is not one of the typical dances usually seen on campus. Instead, this is the Night of Country Swing hosted in the Chadron Event Center on the corner of 4th and King St. It’s easy to see what kind of crowd NOCS pulls in, as people shuffle through the door dressed in cowboy boots and blue jeans—along with the occasional Stetson.

White plastic chairs cover two walls, creating a rest spot for exhausted dancers, which otherwise sit empty as couples swing dance. Shoes slip across the slick wooden floor as people spin, twist, and, occasionally, flip with the beat of the music.

As couples find their own rhythm, Casey Maeby, freshman of Sidney, has his hands full teaching a group of ladies how to swing dance. Smiling with anticipation, each one joins hands with Maeby, following his instructions, and moving with the rhythm his arms provide. In the beginning, the dance moves are simple twists and turns, but as the night moves on, those easy steps quickly turn into Maeby lifting each girl well-above his head, or flipping her upside down.

Although swing dancing isn’t considered a sport, it does come with a price—most of which included an accidental drop to the floor. However, no matter how hard the fall, tough spirits kept people swinging back into motion despite their previous collapse.

It does not take much to have a good time, and NOCS seems to have figured that formula out. With a simple country playlist, a hand full of friends, and a beautiful area to dance the night away, NOCS is a great place to spend a Sunday night.

VOLLEYBALL Volleyball’s season spikes into action Friday at a tournament at the University of Nebraska-Kearney.

Coach Janel Baily and the CSC volleyball team return six players from last year’s roster and nine new recruits this year.

“Practices have been going great, the atmosphere in the gym is competitive and that has been leading to hard work which comes along with great energy,” Baily said in mid-August.

“I am very excited at where we are at right now compared to this time last year.”

Of the nine newcomers, four are junior college transfers, the remaining five are freshmen.

“With the nine newcomers and the six returners, the team looks pretty talented this year.” Baily said. “And right now, if I needed to put a starting line up together, it would be pretty tough because that is just how talented we are this year,” The team opens its season Friday at the University of Nebraska-Kearney Tournament.

Football team picks its captains Jordyn Hulinsky Sports Editor

The Eagles football players selected four seniors as captains for the 2013 season.

They are inside linebacker Shea Koch, senior of Custer, S.D., tailback Glen Clinton, senior of Cody, Wyo., quarterback Jonn McLain, junior of Chadron, and safety Trelan Taylor, senior of Spring Valley, Calif.

“These are a great group of men.

The players voted right,” Offensive Coordinator Chris Stein said, adding that the team chose the best four players to lead the team this year.

“It’s really an honor to have the other guys out there have that much faith in you as a leader on and off the field,” Koch said. “Coming in as a freshman and seeing the captains then and all the captains since and watching their playing and their leadership makes it mine and the other captains’ goal this year to keep that tradition going.”

Clinton said he felt the same way.

“Being voted as a captain is really

special for me,” Clinton said. “I love this team, and for them to want me to help lead the team is the best accomplishment I can think of.”

Like his fellow captains, McLain said he was grateful.

“I am honored to be a captain because of how many great and hardworking players there are on the team,” McLain said.

Taylor, who is missing the first six games because of an NCAA suspension related to a credit-hour shortage three years ago, said he was thrilled.

“I feel awesome, especially after all that has happened,” Taylor said.

“It’s nice that the guys still look to me as a captain.”

The Eagles start their season on the road at 6:30 p.m. Central Daylight Time tonight against the Miners of Missouri Science & Technology, Rolla.

“Everyone is ready to go against someone who isn’t in an Eagle’s uniform,” Koch said. “The last few weeks offense and defense have been looking good, but now it’s time to go and show what we are to ev-

eryone else. All these practices have been preparing us for a win.”

Clinton agreed.

“We are more than ready to play somebody other than ourselves,” he said. “We have been hitting each other for weeks at camp, and everybody is anxious to face a new opponent. Missouri S&T is a great team with new coaches, but we have confidence in our coaches and each other [and] we are more than prepared.”

“I think everyone is ready for our game,” McLain said. “It will be nice to see where we are and what we

need to work on.”

“I think we are well ready for Missouri,” Taylor said. “I think we were ready a week ago. It’s just all about how we execute.”

The captains said they are excited about the upcoming season.

“All of us Eagles have high expectations,” Koch said. “We have lots of good experience on the field and know that it takes hard work to be successful.”

Clinton reiterated Koch’s words.

“This season, we are going out one game at a time looking to do what we do best, and that is what wins football games,” Clinton said.

“At the end of the season, I believe we will be where we want to be.”

McLain agrees.

“We have high expectations this year, as we do every year,” he said. “Everyone worked extremely hard to prepare over the summer and came in to camp ready to go to work. We have a tough schedule but believe if we work hard each week and come in focused every game, we can get the job done.”

Main Gallery exhibit maps Nebraska Kayt Sullivan Contributor

The exhibition in Memorial Hall’s Main Gallery being put on by the Sheldon Museum of Art, is inviting contributions.

The exhibit, “Picturing Nebraska” which will be showing in the Main Gallery until Sept. 25, was set up last week. Many people don’t realize the amount of work that goes into an exhibit. In an interview with Sarah Feit, assistant curator of education, she described the several months of work.

Putting together a traveling exhibition, specifically, takes many months. The process includes research of the pieces, to see what kind of conditions they can endure, as well as getting the pieces to the move. Each piece has its own special box made with what looks like randomly placed styrofoam. However, this minimizes jostling and moving. Each work of art is also glazed over or covered with plexiglass for better protection. Subjects that are in good enough conditions for traveling are chosen. Once all this is said

and done, then comes the actual traveling and the arrangement of the pieces, which takes about three hours. During the arrangements, the artists have little control over what goes where and those in charge of the gallery get to choose the arrangement. “We get to play with different groupings,” Feit said. One wall will be dedicated to images of Nebraska landscape that includes everything from realistic photos to more abstract pieces. The second wall will be dedicated to Liz Ingraham’s project mapping Nebraska.

Ingraham is asking visitors of the exhibit what Nebraska means to them. She will put the comments into a show that will be featured at the Sheldon in Lincoln.

Comment cards will be provided at the entrance of the gallery.

With 15-20 works following a story and three themes to keep the story going, Feit and the Sheldon crew are flexible when setting up the exhibit. According to Feit, Memorial Hall’s Main Gallery is one of the bigger spaces they have worked with. There, they have room to spread out the pieces.

“The exhibit will always look different,” Feit said.

solid, you want to involve yourself in the community a bit more,” Shaw said. “Tournaments are a great driving force for students.”

Though Shaw has little doubts about taking on the tournament, he doesn’t deny the amount of work it takes to run one.

“We’ve been planning this for two years,” Shaw said. “It has taken a tremendous amount of work, and you can never think of everything. We had to spend hundreds of dollars worth of trophies, craft our own list of rules, and find a suitable building to rent.

Just today I remembered we needed stop watches.”

The tournament is planned to be held on September 20th at the Assumption Arena. A tournament is sorted by division, by age, and then rank. The competitors choose events such as form, point fighting, or weapons to enter and they are judged by the black belts.

“I’m excited to compete but I’m nervous because I’m a black belt,” Lecher said. “I have to face other black belts, and I have to judge for the first time.”

With the tournament less than two weeks away, Shaw is hoping for the best when it comes to attendance.

Shaw states, “I have no idea how many people are coming. With every competitor comes parents as well. It’s open to the public so we have to plan on that also. It’s just a guessing a game in the meantime.”

The way Shaw sees it, running a business or a tournament comes with a lot of pre-planning, research and a large amount of work. Although he claims running the karate school doesn’t feel too much like a job.

“I don’t think of this as a career,” Shaw said. “It wasn’t until I first walked into the school on opening day that I realized it was even a job.”

Letcher claims she could never open her own Karate school like Shaw did.

“I’m glad he did though,” Lecher said. “I love karate. I’ll do it the rest of my life. Spire helped me choose to go to Chadron State, just so I could stay at the school another two years.”

Despite minor set backs and key dates closing in, Shaw stays positive.

“Even if we don’t end up making money, it’s all worth while,” Shaw said.

“Everyday is worthwhile.”
