Student Senate approves Ag Club budget Nalani Stewart News Editor Student Senate unanimously approved the allocation of $6,870 for the Ag Club. This budget, for the International Society for Range Management Meeting, consisted of $2,070 for five nights of hotel stay, and $4,800 for the registration of 20 students. This fund, and all funds of Student Senate, CAB, and AFB, come from student activities fees.

If all of the allocated fund isn’t spent, then that money will go back to the Senate fund. Student Senate also received their unallocated funds for this semester.

“With the rollover [of money from last semester], and that money that we got, we have $45,246.35,” said Vice President of Finance Lukas Klueber. “That number may vary, but that is what we have right now.”

Senate also unanimously approved the allocation of funds for the attempted suicide survivor Kevin Hines, to speak at CSC on Nov. 14. Funds were allocated last semes-

ter, and combined with the remaining fund, the cost of the event amounted to $3,000.

In another matter, Senators discussed some things that they would like advisers, Pat Beu and Deena Kennel, to explain to club advisers during their next meeting.

These topics included the due process, and allocation of money, who clubs advisers can be, and what is excepted of club advisers.

“I also think, that what I would really like to try to do, with Dr. Beu, and I, and probably John Hanson, will come up with something a little more concrete, because it’s really been quite vague to all of the advisers,” said Kennel, “So, we’ll try to have those things addressed.”

An adviser, and leadership training meeting will take place on Thursday, Sept. 21.

The coffee shop, Book Ends, continues to be a topic of discussion in Senate. An open forum was posted to Facebook, the post was seen by roughly 3,000 students, and received roughly 30 comments.

“I just want to reiterate that we are not shutting down

the coffee shop,” said Senate President Carly Slaght. “We are not saying yes, Senate is shutting it down, or no, we are keeping it open. We are just discussing whether or not we want to keep paying $10,000 for the coffee shop, from our pockets. And if we do, how are we going to get the money, in case Dr. Snare, or Ron Hanson, retire.”

In another matter, guest speaker Jake Rissler, from the Foundation Office spoke about the polices regarding, and the ways that clubs can fundraise. Students should not ask local businesses to fund their clubs, because the Foundation Office has made promises to local businesses to collect money on behalf of the college. An alternative is, clubs can ask businesses from their hometown for money, and can sell raffle tickets. Clubs can also receive donated goods and services from local businesses.

“The entire mission of the Chadron State Foundation is for the soul benefit of CSC,” said Rissler. “We are a separate 501 C-3 nonprofit organization, and our mission is to help Chadron State College advance in their mission of serving our area and our religion.”

Cab discusses Homecoming events Ashley Jackson Reporter Voting for Homecoming royalty concluded Wednesday, Sept. 20th, with the announcement of Homecoming royalty coming at halftime of the football game.

Coronation of the top five candidates was Wednesday and they are required to dress formally for the football game. Bedsheet voting closed Wednesday Sept. 20th and winners of the bedsheet contest will be responsible for putting their bedsheets up at the Homecoming football game, and taking them down after the game.

The Homecoming parade starts at 9:30 a.m. and floats will meet on 12th St. at 9 a.m. There is a free movie night Sunday, Sept. 24th. Watch social media for movie announcements.

If you are interested in being part of the Spring Daze committee, their first meeting will be on Sunday, Sept. 24th at 4 p.m. in the Student Senate office.

A general assembly will be held Oct. 3rd at 6 p.m. in the ballroom. Attendance for this meeting is required for all clubs and will include NSSE and FSSE discussions.

There will not be a CAB meeting on Sept.

26th, because of the length of the general assembly. TV advertisements for clubs need to be sent to CAB on a power point. A meeting was held Tuesday morning for club advisors and new representatives to help prepare for the upcoming year.

“I really appreciate the opportunity visiting with folks, especially about the value of the importance of their adviser and especially in this day in age of litigation” said advisor Pat Beu. There is another meeting at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 22nd and any representa-

tives and advisers that missed the last meeting are encouraged to attend.

In another matter, the planetarium will be renamed the Lois Veath Planetarium. Dr. Veath was a professor and a vice president at CSC and served on the Nebraska State College System Board of Trustees.

The ceremonial groundbreaking of the stadium will take place after the homecoming football game. Jacob Rissler of the Foundation office talked about the fundraising policy saying that, “Clubs need to fill out forms for the Foundation before fundraising.” He also stressed the importance of not asking businesses for money when fundraising, but instead asking for goods or services. Selling advertising or giving a business a service in exchange for money is acceptable. Talk to the Foundation office for more questions about fundraising.

CSC’s Homecoming Royalty was crowned at Coronation Wednesday night in the Student Center Ballroom.

Homecoming Royalty crowned Wednesday Torri Brumbaugh Lifestyles Editor John Murphy, senior of Harrison, and Gabriela Perez, senior of Sioux City, Iowa, were announced, respectively, CSC’s Homecoming King and Queen last night during the Coronation.

“It feels great. It’s always a blessing to represent Chadron State College to the fullest and I’m just happy that I could do it,” said Murphy.

Perez responded to her crowning with, “It’s exciting for sure, it’ll be fun because it’s my senior year so it’s one last big thing to do.”

Each club on campus had the chance to nominate a King and Queen candidate. The voting for royalty began Monday morning and ended yesterday at noon.

Sam Merrill, Senate’s Chief Justice, said that this year’s ballot contained 67 nominees. This year’s royalty voting had a great turnout. While last year they recorded 522 voters, the Homecoming committee recorded 681 voters.

Merrill said the Homecoming committee

was very tight lipped about the voting process this year to avoid a leak of information.

The Coronation was immediately followed with the Lighting of “C” Hill.

The candidates will appear in the Homecoming Parade Saturday morning and at the Homecoming football game Saturday at 1 p.m. against Adams State University.

The queen results are as followed: Homecoming Queen Gabi Perez, First Attendant Choana Radtke, junior of Sidney, Second Attendant, Courtney Anderson, junior of Hastings, Third Attendant Chelsea Haynes, senior of Auburn, and Fourth Attendant Kimberly Hernandez, junior of Scottsbluff.

The king results are as followed: Homecoming King John Murphy, First Attendant Blake Hansen, senior of Chadron, Second Attendant Gregg Peterson, senior of Highlands Ranch, Colorado, Third Attendant T.J. Aanenson, junior of Farnam, and Fourth Attendant Isaac Langan, junior of McCook.

The importance of the First Amendment During this Constitution Week, we celebrate the rights we have been given for living in such a great country.

The foundation upon which our country was built upon is the First Amendment. It’s what initially attracted (and still does to this day) immigrants coming to our country with the hopes of a prosperous future. The First Amendment establishes our freedoms of speech, religion, press, and the right to assemble.

We believe this amendment is the most important one that our country possesses. It’s what ultimately sets our country apart from the others. We have the right to practice any religion we please, change it as often as we want, or simply not practice any religion at all.

Our freedom to assemble is also listed under our freedoms. Don’t like something the government is doing and want to protest it? Well, guess what?

You can. Try doing that in Iran! Want to come together in support of something?

You can.

The freedom of speech and the freedom of religion, coupled together, simply provide us the right to be independent humans with our own thoughts, opinions, and beliefs unique to ourselves.

If there’s anything about which a journalist feels very strongly, it’s freedom of the press. We, as editors of The Eagle, have our right of freedom of the press protected by the First Amendment.

Our right to publish opinions and express our ideas and thoughts is very near and dear to our hearts. It’s a right that is often taken for granted.

We exercise this right every day and have made it our passion to keep students and faculty informed of what events are going on on campus and around the world as well as sharing our opinion on certain issues. Without the First Amendment , we would be severely restricted in as student journalists.

Thomas Jefferson thought it (the freedom of the press) so important that he said, “The basis of our governments

MAN ON THE STREET

we asked:

being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.”

Jefferson believed so strongly in the role of a free press to keep the government power in check, that he would prefer not having a government without the presence of a free press.

So, during this Constitution Week, please take a moment to reflect on our First Amendment and how vital a role it plays in our everyday lives.

Take advantage of the rights that we as citizens of this beautiful country have, and live them to the best of your ability. Take part in Student Senate, get involved on campus, have your voice heard, and stand up for what you believe in.

OPINION

csceagle.com | The Eagle | SEPT. 21, 2017

Hate speech is bad, but important Torri Brumbaugh Lifestyles Editor The world seems to have a lot to say lately, and thanks to social media, they can say whatever they want. I mean, it’s America, land of the free, right? Obviously, everyone has an opinion, but I have recently heard many people critique what seem the more controversial opinions, for example the opinions of those who marched in Charlottesville.

The US has luckily been guaranteed free speech by the first amendment of our Constitution, which lets any protester or Donald Trump critic tweet and say whatever they want. With this week being Constitution Week and hate speech being a hot topic in today’s society, the real question is: should hate speech be considered free speech?

My answer is yes.

While I do agree that hate speech is vile and disgusting, we need hate speech. Without the right to spew hatred in any direction possible, the public wouldn’t be able to distinguish those with decent morals from those who are stupid enough to reveal how close-minded and ill informed they truly are.

As a reporter, I have heard countless times from my professor that our duty is to be watchdogs. Those who use their first amendment rights for hate speech must be watched and accounted for. That way, we are aware who may be teaching our children, running our country, or even doing our taxes. Revealing those who sponsor hate speech is our duty.

Also, if we begin to ban hate speech, who gets to decide what qualifies? And if that job really does exist, maybe I should apply.

Variations on the definition of hate speech and dif-

ferent ideas of what would be considered hate speech may become a setback for those who are looking to put limitations to our first amendment. For example, I love puppies. As the hate speech prosecutor, I can decide that anyone who says a puppy isn’t cute will receive a jail sentence (which is well deserved). While that may seem a bit extreme, my point is that if we begin to restrict our free speech, where do we stop?

The only way to have an effect against hate speech, at least in my opinion, is to refuse to give those who speak hatred the time of day. They only speak their opinion because they think it matters, but little do they know, the world will continue to turn and no skin color or sexuality will change because they wish it. Bullies simply want attention, so I say we don’t give it to them. The haters are gonna hate, but maybe they’ll be a little more quiet about it next time when they realize their words are irrelevant.

Practice time management Kylee Odenbach Reporter One of the hardest transitions for college students is the issue of time management. Many students are taking classes while working a job, and being involved in clubs, sports, intramurals, and so forth.

As college students, the responsibility of time management is completely up to us. When four assignments are due the same week, college students may want to think twice about what to do in their free time. We need to make decisions that will help us be successful in college. This comes down to time management. We make choices everyday with what to do with our time.

Many different avenues are available for college students to spend their time on. Sporting events, spending time with

friends, and studying are just a few of the options. My personal advice is to balance out your time. Spend a little bit of your time on each avenue. Your first priority should of course be your studies, but let yourself have some fun too! It’s always a good idea to have some balance in your life.

What if you’re really struggling with time management in college? If you notice that your grades are slipping and that you might be spending too much time at the basketball courts, it might be time to re-evaluate. Start with keeping a time log.

Keep a journal of what you do with your time and you may be able to assess your problem. You may realize that you do need to squeeze one more hour in every day of studying.

Time management can be hard for a college student, but it can be handled effectively. We just have to remember that we make our own decisions with our time.

Cowboy up CSC’s Cody Trump won the saddle bronc riding to take an early lead in CRMC standings Preston Goehring Managing Editor Senior saddle bronc rider Cody Trump, of Custer, South Dakota, won the event at CSC’s home rodeo last weekend at the Dawes County Fairgrounds.

“It felt really good (to win),” Trump said. “It was one of my goals this year, to start the season off strong and win the home rodeo.”

The CSC men’s team placed third in the standings with 370 points behind Gillette College, Gillette, Wyoming, with 560 and Laramie County Community College, Cheyenne, Wyoming with 410.

The women’s team also earned third , scoring 105 points, behind Gillette College with 405, and Eastern Wyoming College, Torrington with 205.

In the saddle bronc riding, Trump hung on to score a 66 on his first horse, and a 67 during the short-go to win.

CSC placed three in the bull riding despite no full rides in the championship round. Chasen Cole, senior of Hermosa, South Dakota, earned second with an 84 in the performance round. Ethan Lesiak, senior of Columbus, and James Butterfield , freshman of Worland, Wyoming, placed third and fifth, respectively.

Rowdy Moon, sophomore of Sargent, was the last roughstock placer, earn-

ing fourth in a highly competitive bareback event. Sheridan College’s Hunter Carlson, sophomore of Douglas, Wyoming, won with total of 180.

Moon scored a 90.

Kalane Anders, junior of Bayard, was the final CSC cowboy to place, taking third in the tie-down roping, stopping the clock at 9.6 seconds in the performance round and 12.1 in the short-go.

On the women’s side, the CSC cowgirls had two placers in the top six.

Brandi Cwach, senior of Geddes, South Dakota, finished third in goat tying, with a two-round total of 16 seconds.

Hanna Hostutler, sophomore of Midland, South Dakota, finished fourth in breakaway roping, tallying a time of 2.8 in her first go and a 3.3 in the second.

CSC will travel to Sheridan, Wyoming this weekend for the next rodeo of the circuit.

“I’m excited, the stock is usually great,” Trump said. “ Several people ride well at this rodeo. I’m looking forward to moving one step closer to my season goals.

The Chadron State women’s volleyball team struggled last Friday and Saturday night in their home openers, losing to the Mountain Lions of the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, in straight sets Friday night before losing in four sets to the Metro State University of Denver Roadrunners Saturday.

“Last weekend we came out pretty weak against UCCS and it wasn’t our team,” Karli Noble, freshman of Cheyenne, Wyoming, said. “The next night against Metro coach told us to consistently compete and worry about our side of the net and that is what we did.”

Friday night the Eagles worst attack percentage of the season doomed them from the beginning. Hitting negative .10 % compared to the Mountain Lions .348% resulted in a 25-10 first set loss.

While the Eagle’s improved their attack percentage and had eight more kills in set two, the Mountain Lions improved their percentage to .360 and had three less errors than in set one to win 25-15.

Set three resulted in the Mountain Lions attack percentage falling to .121 and both teams committing seven attack errors, but UCCS was able to win 25-17. The Eagles tied the set at 15 after a Timmi Keisel, redshirt sophomore of Fleming, Colorado, kill but the Mountain Lions answered by scoring 10 of the next 12 points.

Taylor Hamilton, senior of Denver, Colorado, and Taylor Smith, sophomore of Littleton, Colorado, led the match with nine kills each for the Mountain Lions. Dominika Senkerikova, junior of Uhersky Brod, Czech Republic, and Keisel each had eight for Chadron, while Emily Bruce, senior of Centerton, Arkansas had 15 digs and Mickey Trimble, junior of Platte City, Missouri, had 15 assists.

Raelynn Edge, redshirt freshman of Albuquerque, New Mexico, had 29 assists for the Mountain Lions and Natasha Habert, senior of Littleton, Colorado, accounted for 21 digs.

The Eagle’s didn’t record a block compared to UCCS’s seven.

Inconsistencies killed the Eagle’s Saturday night. Despite a strong second set, struggles in the remaining sets stunted the Eagle’s chances of winning.

Once again starting off slow, both offensively and defensively, the Roadrunners out-hit the Eagle’s .435 percent to .043 percent, leading to a 2517 first set victory.

In the second set, the Eagle’s perhaps played one of their best sets all season. Hitting .370 percent, having 13 kills, and scoring the last three points of the set, the Eagles won their only set of the weekend, 25-22.

Still carrying the momentum from the second set, Chadron kept the score close before the Roadrunners went on a run. After a kill by Keisel to make the score 15-14 in Metro’s favor, the Roadrunners scored 10 of the next 11 points to win set three 25-15.

A poor attack percentage and strong offense from Metro once again hurt the Eagles in set four.

Despite having their worst attack percentage of the match, the Roadrunners won set four 25-16 to win the match.

from page 10 “We did a lot better Saturday and we could walk away from the weekend proud,” Noble said.

Santaisha Sturges, junior of Parker, Colorado, had 14 kills for the Roadrunners while Vasati Fiatoa, senior of Las Vegas, Nevada had 11. Aijahnae Springs, junior of Converse, Texas, had 11 for the Eagles followed behind by McKenna Hartigan, freshman of Hotchkiss, Colorado, and Keisel who each had six.

Madison Webb, junior of Loveland, Colorado, and Bruce had 15 assists and digs each respectively. Alyssa Svalberg, senior of Aurora, Colorado, had an outstanding 45 assists for the Roadrunners.

The Eagles are on the road again this weekend, visiting the Western State Mountaineers of Gunnison, Colorado, Friday, before playing the Mavericks of Colorado Mesa University at Grand Junction, Saturday. The team then returns home to face Regis University of Denver on Tuesday, September 26th.

“This coming weekend I hope that we come out strong and are able to come back with some wins,” Noble said. “We are sticking to our system, improving our defense/serve receive and out of system ball handling.”

Eagles roll Western State, 49-7 Preston Goehring Managing Editor The Eagles bounced back in a big away last Saturday against Western State Colorado University, Gunnison, rolling the Mountaineers 49-7.

After a loss to Colorado Mesa University, Grand Junction, two weeks ago where the Eagles tallied more than 500 yards of offense but couldn’t find the endzone but struggled to finish drives, the Eagles scored 42 points in the first half against Western, allowing them to coast to a smooth win.

Kevin Coy, redshirt junior of Davenport, Florida, opened the scoring for CSC after the Eagle defense forced the first fumble, rushing in from 20 yards out, with 11 minutes remaining in the first quarter. It was one of six turnovers that the CSC defense forced.

Derek Jackson, senior of Pueblo West, Colorado, added the next two scores for the Eagles, with a three-yard touchdown with 2:36 remaining in the first quarter and the other less than a minute into the second, punching into the endzone to cap a 60-yard drive. Jackson finished with 63 yards and two

touchdowns.

The Mountaineers fumbled four times in the second quarter, three times in the final two minutes.

The first, with just Collicott Wood over a minute on the clock was recovered by CSC’s Trey Mosley, senior of Fontana, California, who returned it 39 yards for a touchdown, putting the Eagles on top 28-0. On the next possession, the Mountaineers coughed up the ball again with 50 seconds left in the half. The Eagles offense took over and only took two plays to find the endzone again, with quarterback Dalton Holst, redshirt freshman of Gillette, Wyoming, connecting with Stevann Brown, redshirt sophomore of Casper, Wyoming, for a 26- yard touchdown.

On the ensuing kickoff, Zecharie James, junior of Hampton, Virginia, forced another fumble on the return, recovered

by Colton Wright, senior of Albin, Wyoming, allowing the offense to take over with 31 seconds remaining, and five plays later Holst tossed another touchdown, this time to Tevon Wright, sophomore of Miami, with two seconds remaining in the half.

The Mountaineers only score of the game came from quarterback Dylan Jacob, who scram-

All recovered fumbles against Western State bled in from 10 yards out.

The Mountaineers were only allowed in the redzone twice.

Colt Foster, redshirt sophomore of Hemingford, finished with three receptions and 77 yards. Brown caught two passes for 41 yards and a score.

On the defensive side, Truett Box, senior of Cheyenne Wells, Colorado, led the Eagles with 10 tackles, one sack and a forced fumble. Merritt Crabtree, redshirt junior of Newcastle, Wyoming, added nine tackles and an interception.

The Eagles have the opportunity to tie their number of wins from last season this weekend against another high-powered offense in Adams State University, Alamosa, Colorado, for the Homecoming game.

The Grizzlies are 2-1 this season, losing to Black Hills State University, Spearfish, South Dakota, 47-41, the first week of the season. They defeated Western 51-14, and Fort Lewis College, Durango, Colorado, last week 34-27.

Adams State is averaging 42 points per game, 574 total offensive yards with 423 yards through the air. The Eagles will have their own offensive opportunities, with the Grizzlies giving up 480 yards on average and nearly 30 points per game.

Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m.

School Spirit

RLA hosts Homecoming Spirit Rally and Bonfire Torri Brumbaugh Lifestyles Editor CSC kicked off official Homecoming Week festivities with the Spirit Rally and Bonfire in the Backyard Monday night. RLA hosted the event and was excited to see the turnout of students that attended.

Associate Director of RLA Taylor Osmotherly said that the event brought out 350 students.

“I was expecting about 200 students,” Osmotherly said. “It’s great to see students are showing up and having a good time at the programs we work really hard to put on.”

RLA provided 250 “Wizard of Oz” themed Homecoming t-shirts, but quickly ran out.

Students were provided with hot dogs and drinks while they listened to this season’s accomplishments and hopes of the CSC’s fall sports teams: football, volleyball, cross country, and softball. The Eagle Dance Team and the CSC Cheer Team both showcased their talents and performed at the spirit rally.

After the entertainment, s’mores were on everyone’s mind as they quickly huddled around the bonfire.

“We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better night for a bonfire,” said Osmotherly.

Michael Bay has some explaining to do Caleb Wiederhold Reporter There are so many bad movies that I’ve watched. Even bad animated films like “Norm of the North,” where it focuses on a talking polar bear trying stop a nitwit businessman from selling homes in the arctic.

There are also bad animated crossovers like “Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,” where it retells the 1971 film by slapping Tom and Jerry in the background and having unpleasant moments, particularly the part where Tuffy sings the tunnel of death (No, it’s not “Pure

Imagination”. That was an error in the last review).

Then, there’s bad sequels like “Transformers: The Last Knight.”

Yep, another Transformers movie.

Here’s the thing, I’m a Transformers fan and I understand that not everyone likes the live-action movies, but I think they could’ve done better in this.

So, it’s about Cade Yeager, played by Mark Wahlberg, and the Autobots trying to stop a threat, made by the creator named Quintessa, from destroying the earth, but also having to deal with Optimus Prime being brainwashed.

While I do like a few things in the movie, I think they need to do work on the story. In this movie,

they’re still treating the Autobots like they’re the enemy and even having the humans temporary make a deal with the Decepticons, until they sided with Autobots in the end battle.

Not only that, Michael Bay is bringing more unanswered questions between the films.

My question is, what happened to Sam Witwicky from the first three films?

I get Shia LaBeouf is getting into trouble as of late, but at least try to provide some explanation of what happened to him or better yet, hire a different actor. Even Marvel replaced an actor for James Rhodes or War Machine for “Iron Man 2,” so why can’t you

do it for Sam, since his actor is having legal issues?

Also, Michael Bay needs to stop with the inappropriate innuendos and limit the language. He’s probably going to scar some kids for life, if more saw this.

And as for the Decepticons, he only gives titles to the recruits Megatron assembles and having them be on screen for a short amount of time.

Oh, I forgot to mention, they said Tyrese Gibson would return and Stanley Tucci back as Jousha Joyce. However, Gibson was busy in “Fate of the Furious” and Tucci played a different character Merlin. Couldn’t you say that earlier, Bay?

As I mentioned there are a few things I liked. The action scenes were good, a few Decepticon names were creative like Nitro Zeus and Berzerker, a few characters from the first three films return, and Bumblebee having his voice back. But, these are not enough to bring nostalgia.

Yeah, it’s not the greatest movie in the world and they need to do work on the Transformers franchise. So far, “The Last Knight” makes the last film “Transformers: Age of Extinction” look like a masterpiece in comparison. I’m not sure how the future Transformers films are going to do, but who knows what’s going to happen.

RLA hosts tie dye event for students Nalani Stewart News Editor Tie Dye Fun Time, hosted by RLA, kicked off on Saturday, Sept. 16. Students folded and tie-dyed socks and T-shirts, at the picnic tables behind High Rise.

Resident Adviser Devin Fulton, was inspired create the event in hopes that students could find a way to “have a good time and also get the chance to make something they can show off.”

The event was successful with over 70 students coming out to show off their creativity. Fulton was impressed with the turnout of the event, saying “I was hop-

ing at least 50 to 60 would show up.”

The event was well received by students, as it was well planned and easily accessible to students.

Randee Thayer, freshman of Rapid City, South Dakota, said that her favorite part of the event was “seeing how my tie dye turned out! I love how unique and different tie dying is and you could honestly get an infinite amount of results from it.”

“I would absolutely go to another event like this one,” Thayer said. “Anything fun and crafty is really interesting to me and would always be worth attending in my eyes.”
