The fate of a 26,000-square-foot-housing-complex lies in the hands of the NSCS Board of Trustees, who are expected to vote Friday on whether to move forward with the project intended to replace CSC’s West Court housing complex, built between 1957-61.

The board is voting on the appointment of an architecture selection committee to “prepare [a] program statement,” according to pre-meeting agenda materials.

The new project, now referred to as “East Court,” is likely to feature a mix of multi-bedroom and single-bedroom units, and would “most likely” be multistory in structure, said Randy Rhine, vice president of Enrollment, Management, and Student Services.

The housing development is slated for an area just east of the Burkhiser Technology Complex.

A consultant, who specializes in residential facilities on college campuses, recently visited CSC and assisted in the analysis of the current college-housing situation. NSCS mandated campus master planning, which occurs every ten years, sparked the visit.

Rhine said that the new facility would not necessarily be an exclusively married-student housing option, though it might turn out that way. see HOUSING, Page 2

CAMPUS ACTIVITIES BOARD

STUDENT SENATE

HOUSING

CAB cuts meeting short Kelsey Amos Reporter The Campus Activities Board conducted a 15 minute meeting in order to have time for sand volleyball afterward. The game is part of an attempt to make CAB meetings more interesting, according to Adam Neumann, publicity coordinator.

The CAB account contains $6,450, Samantha Evans, treasurer, said.

Luke Wright, president, asked representatives to tell the executive board if they have an excused absence from a CAB meeting. Representatives also need to submit a note from their clubs’ advisers to explain their absence. The Senate Finance Committee wants to know which clubs are attending the CAB meetings, Wright said.

Club representatives can only represent one club at the CAB meetings, Wright said. There is a conflict of interest if a student represents two clubs.

Clubs that are interested in helping with homecoming events or the

homecoming committee should talk to Wright.

Sara Labor, student events coordinator, said the rugby team is having a bake sale 10 a.m. Thursday at the clock tower. Saturday is Family Day. There will be a pancake breakfast 7:30 a.m. at Memorial Hall. The football game is noon at Elliot field.

Neumann asked how many students were interested in playing volleyball.

About eight students expressed interest, so Neumann asked if they would be interested in other activities or just meeting as usual. A few students said they would be interested in activities that involved food or weren’t too long.

Laure Sinn, adviser, said Family Day events will include a horse-drawn wagon rides around campus, family portraits, and a rodeo at the Dawes County Fairgrounds.

There will be a 9/11 memorial gathering 11 a.m., Monday on the Dean’s Green.

James Bahensky, Senate vice-president, said the T-shirts for the student section of sports events will hopefully be in by Friday.

from page 1

Rhine further said that the existing West Court facility will most likely be demolished, but not until the new housing option is completed. Rhine also said that if West Court was demolished, the area would likely be converted into additional parking space.

A committee concerning the project has been suggested to the NSCS Board. Among the committee members from CSC are Rhine; Blair Brennan, coordinator of physical facilities; Sherri Simmons; director of housing and residence life; and Dale Grant, vice president for Administration and Finance.

According to Rhine, future steps for the project will include a set of meetings where the committee will “begin to develop a program statement that provides much more detail about the project.” After this, the project would then go “to the Board for review and then on to the Coordination Commission for review and approval.”

Owing to the Labor Day Holiday, Student Senate did not meet this week. Student Senate’s next meeting will be 5 p.m. Monday.

BRIEFS

Family day to focus on memories Saturday’s Family Day festivities include horsedrawn carriage rides and a photo booth for students to capture memories with family and friends.

The Eagle’s first home football game is scheduled for noon, and visitors are encouraged to reserve lunch/football tickets online at www.csc.edu/students/family_day/.

Student Senate meetings to be broadcast on local channel Beginning at their meeting next Monday, CSC’s Student Senate meetings are planned to be recorded and broadcasted on the College’s information channel – Channel 20 on Great Plains Cable.

James Bahensky, vice president of Student Senate, said that Beth Wroblewski, senate corresponding secretary, would be responsible for running the equipment at the meetings.

According to Bahensky, each table will have a microphone. He also mentioned the possibility of podcasts in the future.

OPINION 4 In ROTC, fitness is more than physical WWW.CSCEAGLE.COM

Lt. Franklin Annis Contributor

If you were given time to name the varsity sports here at CSC would you be able to name them all? Sports like football, basketball, and track would quickly come to mind. But how many would list ROTC? Every year, students in the ROTC Program compete in athletic events that are just as demanding as any other sport played on campus.

These include events such as the Ranger Challenge where both fitness and military skills are tested. The Bataan Death March, a marathon length road march held in New Mexico, challenges cadets to the extreme as they carry 35 pound rucksacks up and down mountain sides.

Not only does military fitness differ in the types of events, it also differs on its approach to fitness. Unlike other sports where athletes train for themselves for their specific sport, soldiers must take a much broader approach to fitness.

The physical demands of the military are varied and constantly changing. This forces soldiers to take a balanced approach to physical fitness. Soldiers must not only develop muscular strength but maintain flexibility, healthy body composition, and aerobic fitness.

The concept of fitness in the U.S. Army goes far beyond just physical training. While physical fitness is a key component, Comprehensive Soldier Fitness also includes family, social, spiritual, and emotional fitness.

Family fitness is being a member of a supportive and loving family that has access to the resources to live safe, productive, and secure lives.

Social fitness requires the establishment of valued relationships and friendships that foster the exchange of experiences, views, ideas and opinions in a personally fulfilling manner.

Spiritual fitness is the possession of a set of values, beliefs, principles, or views that sustain a person beyond the support received by institutions, family, and other societal sources.

While the U.S. Army does not endorse any specific doctrine, it recognizes the importance that this aspect plays in developing strong individuals.

Finally, emotional fitness is the ability to take actions and make choices through the demonstration of good character, stamina, and self-

control with a positive and optimistic outlook.

When all five elements of fitness are developed in an individual, he or she gains the confidence to be a leader, the courage to live and stand up for their beliefs, and the compassion to help and care for others. It is this type of fitness that allows American Soldiers to face climates from -40° to 140° F, in any environment from the Arctic to the desert, and maintain health while operating in environments of high stress.

It is this level of fitness that we refer to as “Army Strong.”

So is it time for you to redefine your concept of fitness? The same fitness development techniques used to enhance soldier fitness could greatly enhance students’ capabilities here at CSC. How balanced is your fitness? Are you using these five fitness principles to make good decisions about your education and self-development here at CSC? If you answered no to any of these questions or if your fitness is not as developed as you would like, you may consider adding a semester of ROTC to your education.

You are also welcome work out with the ROTC Cadets Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 6 to 7 a.m. at the NPAC, free of charge and with no military obligation. All are invited, regardless of current fitness level. Come learn the techniques used to train the strongest and most effective army the world has ever known.

OPINION

WWW.CSCEAGLE.COM EDITORIAL — THE EAGLE’S VIEW

9/11 is a time for remembrance and reflection This month marks the tenth year since the Twin Towers and Pentagon were attacked and thousands of people were killed. No matter how old we were, no matter where we were, no matter our feelings about politics, previous events, or events afterward, we will always remember Sept. 11.

It is not just remembering that is important, however. Everyone should pay homage to those who lost their lives in the tragic events that occurred that day.

We, as a country, should be able to band together as a nation of one, as we did a decade ago. After the tragedies that occurred that day, a spark was lit in every American. People banded together to make it known that as Americans we are a proud people who believe in civil liberties.

Whether it was by performing services, raising money for the families of the deceased, or by joining the military, Americans all found a way to show their patriotism.

The important thing is that we never let those values die off. Although it’s been an entire decade since the Twin Towers came down, we all need to remember that there is still grieving. We cannot just write Sept. 11 off as another day on the calendar.

This week, there will be memorial events on campus. There will be two services, one at 11 a.m. Sunday and the second at 11 a.m. on Monday, both at the Flag Plaza on the Dean’s Green. Refreshments will be served after the event on Monday.

We hope that many will be able to make time to attend this solemn anniversary, and keep in mind just how much we have to be thankful for.

The economy may be putting strain on our finances, and the cost of living and tuition may be rising. Yet we must still remember how fortunate we are to live in a nation where we still have protections of our liberties, whether they be freedom of belief or unbelief, or freedom to choose to live one’s life the way one pleases. Paychecks and new gadgets come and go, but the Bill of Rights and our values of equality and charity are what make us strong.

This Sept. 11, remember and honor those who lost their lives that fateful day, and our troops who always fight for our liberties.

Don’t let emotions overrun others’ liberty WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Aaron Gonzalez Opinion Editor

It seems hard to believe that it was a decade ago this Sunday that we woke up from our slumber to face a living nightmare. I’m sure most of us were either waking up or getting ready for school when the radio or TV flashed the news bulletin that America was under attack. Ten years later, we are living in the post-9/11 world with many new hassles and challenges to deal with.

A major problem we tango with is the cultural and religious tensions we are feeling towards our Muslim brothers and sisters.

No more obvious is this shown than in the CNN documentary “Unwelcome: the Muslims Next Door.” The documentary follows the saga of a religious war in the small town of Murfeesboro, Tenn.

With a population of a little over 104,000, Murfeesboro is the kind of American town self-described as a place where people know everybody and church steeples make up the local skyline. Yet even such a neighborly town can turn very ugly towards newcomers with outside beliefs and appearances.

When the local Muslim community of about 250 families decided to buy a plot of land to build an Islamic Center (with a mosque), the radical right and their fun-

damentalist allies filed a lawsuit to prevent construction of the center.

Led by a babbling and self-anointed speaker of “truth” named Kevin Fischer, the neo-Crusaders pushed the courts and local government to revoke the permit for the Muslims to have their religious center on the claim that Islam is not a religion and is trying to take over America.

I’m not sure what those folks use to determine a religion these days. The politically correct method says that all faiths are innately peaceful, and that any evil done is performed by fundamentalists. Author and atheist Sam Harris once humorously quipped, “The problem with Islamic fundamentalism are the fundamentals of Islam.”

That’s very true if you read the Quran, and the same can equally be applied to the Torah and the Bible. All three faiths are Abrahamic (Abraham, Winner of the Best Parent in the World Award) and with exception to who was the last chosen one of God (Moses, Jesus, or Muhammad) all of the stories and “morals” are pretty similar.

But comparing radical Islam with radical Christianity is unfair. It is very important to remember that both Judaism and Christianity have been rightly domesticated by secularism and the Enlightenment (thus less violent than before), whereas Islam is now going through the same transition the West dealt with 400 years ago.

I loved how one of the wide-eyed protesters yapped to the CNN camera, “Our coun-

try was founded through the Founding Fathers through the true God, the Father and Jesus Christ!” Clearly that individual and her like-minded friends have never read the Godless and Jesus-free U.S. Constitution, which mentions religions only twice.

The first instance is the First Amendment, which guarantees any person to believe and practice what they wish and that the state will not establish or recognize any religious doctrine over the law. The other is near the end of the Constitution where it says that there will be no religious requirement or test to enter public office.

As a result, we don’t have to worry about Islamic Sharia taking over the country any more than Judeo-Christian theocracy (though they still try to inject creationism into science classrooms and erect Ten Commandments statues in public buildings).

Even after 9/11, our country has done remarkably well in maintaining its commitment to protecting civil liberties, and fortunately a ruling in the Murfeesboro case recently came in favor of the Muslim community and their defendants. Rutherford County judge, Chancellor Robert Corlew III, ruled, “Those who are adherents to Islam are entitled to pursue their worship in the United States just as are those who are adherents to more universally established faiths (in our community).”

As painful as the memories of 9/11 may be, we should be glad that our Constitution and values still work to uphold our freedoms. Were we to lose those in a heat of vengeance, then the sickly, shark-baited face of Osama bin-Laden will smirk in victory, his goal of destroying America achieved.

William Copley’s untitled work was done in 1968. It is a critique of the Vietnam War where the stars of the American Flag are replaced with THINK and the colors are black-and-white rather than patriotic.

“Commemorations” 25th Annual Sheldon Statewide Art Exhibition Commemorations. That is essentially the idea behind the new art exhibit showing in Memorial Hall’s Main Gallery from now until Sept. 26. The eclectic show features 21 highly differentiated works, each commemorating a time, person, or place, and in turn commenting on how people memorialize those things in general. Each work exhibits a way people commemorate something, like a monument for a war, or a funeral for a soul, but shies away from the traditional view of that commemoration.

The work about a monument, then, will show the memorial from a different perspective, giving the viewer a fresh way to think about national memories, and how they are remembered today.

LEFT: Vik Muniz’s painting “Lincoln After Brady” is the main focus of the pamphlets that greet visitors of the Main Gallery in Memorial Hall.

ABOVE: “Imperial Dusk” by Charles Rain is painted in a style known as Magic Realism. His painting depicts a Roman sculpture. Many American monuments are modeled off Roman sculptures.

ABOUT SHELDON ART MUSEUM This diverse collection, which includes some famed Nebraskan artists, is on-loan from the Sheldon Museum of Art at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Chadron is experiencing “Commemoration” thanks to the Sheldon Statewide Exhibition program, which is commemorating its own 25th anniversary this year. The Sheldon’s exhibit is both thought-provoking and informative, with every description placard a history-in-miniature about the work’s sociological background. Such an educational exhibit, therefore, should not be missed. It is especially apt considering the building it’s housed in. After all, where better to investigate commemoration than Memorial Hall?

Commemorate both joy and tragedy to appreciate life Hannah Clark Contributor Commemorate means to recall and show respect for someone or something, or to serve as a memorial for it. This word has been thrown around frequently of late, with CSC’s centennial and the anniversary of 9/11 fast approaching.

When we think about these two instances, one celebratory and the other tragic, we expect them to be commemorated in different ways.

On one hand, we expect a boisterous parade for the college’s 100 years of service, while conversely; we expect a reverent ceremony for the memory of our lost.

These kinds of commemorations fill our dayto-day life, often without our recognition. Memorials, parades, ceremonies, all influence the way people think about the thing commemorated.

For instance, instead of remembering the fiery conflict in Iwo Jima, tourists focus on the glorious raising of the American flag whenever they see the statue immortalizing it. In this way, commemorations show what is important to a culture; the positive victory versus the negative battle.

One piece in the “Commemorations” exhibit that exemplifies this idea is Carlos Anderson’s “Man and his Monument.” The dramatic picture depicts a church – probably large for its time – dwarfed by the towering building behind it.

The enigmatic title, “Man and his Monument,” implies that both of these buildings are monuments, or memorials, to a certain ideal of society. But the singular title, and the choice in lighting, suggests that only one of the structures is still an important monument, while the other has fallen by the wayside.

This illustrates how focuses have changed in our culture. As shown by the exhibit’s beautiful art, any country, city, or even school shows what it values by what it memorializes.

Fortunately, we belong to a school that chooses to celebrate continuing progress and honor shared tragedy, thereby showing, through commemoration, what’s really important to CSC.

Mary stymies Eagles’ comeback BISMARCK, N.D. – A lot of firsts occurred during the season-opening game between Chadron State and the University of Mary Thursday evening, but a comeback wasn’t one of them.

The Eagles, who were playing without a host of starters, put together a furious rally in the fourth quarter only to see it fall just short as the University of Mary eked out a 31-24 victory.

Chadron State was playing with a makeshift offensive line after losing starting left tackle Garrett Gilkey early Thursday afternoon when he had an emergency appendectomy.

That procedure forced starting center Sean McGowan to slide to tackle, while redshirt freshman Sam Parker got the nod at center.

Then, following a first half where he threw for over 100 yards, quarterback Jonn McLain was knocked out of the game with a concussion.

“In the first half we couldn’t score in the red zone and we gave Mary a

lot of opportunities and put our defense in a tough position,” O’Boyle said. “It’s hard to win that way and we didn’t get it done tonight.”

Despite the absences, Chadron State still played well. Brandon Gorsuch threw for 230 yards and two touchdowns, Dominic Morris added 140 yards on 24 carries and Alex Ferdinand kicked three field goals that helped keep the Eagles in the game.

Things were looking rosy for the Eagles when Allan Schmaltz caught a 5-yard slant pass for a touchdown from Gorsuch with just under nine minutes to play that put the game at 17-15. Alex Rodriguez added a nifty reception out of the backfield on the 2-point conversion and CSC tied the game.

Mary, though, responded with a touchdown of its own when Tyler Steffan, who had 130 yards receiving and two touchdowns, caught a 47yard bomb for a TD on its next drive, but the Marauders missed their extra point, making it 23-17.

The Eagles came right back on their next possession and Jeff Alcorn broke free up the middle for a 34yard TD and Ferdinand’s extra point gave Chadron State its first lead of the game.

However, the Marauders went 78 yards in seven plays and Josh Murray, who transferred to Mary in early August from North Dakota, scored the go-ahead TD from three yards out with just over two minutes to play.

The Eagles didn’t quit, though, and went 60 yards to the Mary 19 before turning the ball over on downs with 27 seconds to play.

Nathan Ross was Gorsuch’s favorite receiver. He made eight receptions in the second half – four resulted in first downs – and finished with 12 catches for 120 yards. The 12 receptions is the fourth-most in school history.

Chadron State hosts Angelo State Saturday. Kickoff is set for noon.

When life hands you bananas, make pancakes Kelsey Amos Reporter There are very few CDs that I can listen to without skipping a few songs. Jack Johnson’s 2005 album “In Between Dreams” is one of those rare albums where it’s a crime against music to skip any of the songs.

Johnson is a singer-songwriter and surfer from Hawaii. He is often known for his 2001 album “Brushfire Fairytales” and the song “Upside Down” from the Curious George soundtrack.

He sings about life and love on his album “In Between Dreams,” which explores themes like nostalgia for relationships and a simpler life. He also asks questions about current social conditions. A few of the songs are abstract, so the interpretation is up to the listener.

It is not only the lyrics that make this a

CD worth listening to. Johnson’s mellow voice and acoustic guitar also make this a memorable album.

The songs about love and relationships are light-hearted and nostalgic without being saccharine. For example, “Better Together” is about how life is uncertain, but it’s always better when you’re with someone. In “Do You Remember,” two lovers reminisce about how they met and look forward to their future together.

“Banana Pancakes” is about making pancakes instead of dealing with the rush of everyday life. “Constellations” is another nostalgic song about children and their father star-gazing and making up their own constellations. “If I Could” makes a con-

trast between life and death. Johnson sings about holding onto memories of people and wishing he could give them more time.

The rest of the songs on this album ask meaningful questions about life, humanity, society, and conflict. These songs are thought-provoking yet catchy, so the listener can contemplate important issues while enjoying good music.

“Never Know” asks why people with different beliefs can’t get along, when they are all human, and therefore have similar concerns and uncertainties about life.

In “Good People,” Johnson describes watching TV and seeing nothing but disaster, so he asks where the good people have gone, because they’re not making the news.

“Crying Shame” is about the irony of fighting a “war for peace.” Johnson describes the conflict between opposing sides as a “tired game” and asks if it will ever end.

In “Breakdown,” Johnson sings about wanting the train he’s on to break, so he can walk instead. The song includes clever metaphors that describe the fast pace of life.

The album “In Between Dreams” includes many songs about life, humanity, and society, in addition to songs about love and relationships. Johnson also asks questions about current issues that listeners may have also asked themselves.

“Love is the answer, at least for most of the questions in my heart,” Johnson sings on this album. This may be an overly-simple, perhaps hackneyed, answer to the world’s problems. However, Johnson presents it in an original, mellow way that leaves the listener cautiously hopeful about tomorrow.
