Homecoming royalty voter increase from 2016 Nalani Stewart News Editor Student Senate announced that the voter turnout for Homecoming was significantly better than last year, with 681 voters, about “150 over what we had last year,” according to Chief Justice Samantha Merrill. The bedsheet winners were the Plainwalkers, the Pit, and United. The winners of the Parade were as follows: Best committee float- Pine Ridge Job Corp., Best club floatZeta Alpha Kappa, and Best campus non-club- The Child Development Center.

Senate also has a budget of $37,226.35 of unallocated funds, and is “working on setting up AFB, and

recruiting people to be in it,” Vice President of Finance Lukas Klueber said.

In another matter, Student Senate allocated $118 towards the refreshments, meatballs, boneless wings, and cookies, for the General Assembly meeting, taking place 6 p.m., Tuesday, in the Ballroom. Attendance for the meeting, is required for all clubs and will include NSSE and FSSE discussions.

The Spring Daze committee has a working budget, and has started to contact bands for entertainment.

“Right now, we have the entertainment extended to multiple days, so that it is not all packed into one day,” Vice President Johnathan Sayaloune said. “The next meeting is Sunday at 4 p.m., if you want to join us.”

Walker Echo Hawk, will be speaking on the Nebraska Before Nebraska: Our Pawnee Homeland, for the 2017 Pilster Great Plains Lecture, on Thursday at 7:30 a.m., in the Student Center. It is free to the public, and book signing will be held immediately after.

CORRECTION: In the Sept. 21 edition of The Eagle, the Senate article headlined “Student Senate approves Ag Club budget” had an error. We misquoted Jacob Rissler, Development Officer of the Chadron State Foundation.

The quote read “...in their mission of serving our area and our religion.” Rissler actually said “... in their mission and serving our area and region.”

Thank you to the observant reader who pointed this out.

We apologize for this error.

Don’t question the protests, find a solution The recent National Football League’s protest intended to bring light to racial inequality in the United States. The method of protest, started by former NFL player Colin Kaepernick, began as kneeling during the National Anthem in 2016. The movement spread and was joined by other NFL players through the course of the year.

We, editors of The Eagle, believe that while these actions are wrong, they are protected by the First Amendment. While it is in anyone’s capability and rights to do the wrong thing, the ability can never justify the action. We believe that it is a blatant disrespect our country and those in the military who are fighting for their right to disrespect our country.

Kaepernick’s method of protest is unpatriotic and disrespectful to veterans, some of whom have sacrificed their ability to stand in order to give us the option to stand during the National Anthem. His disrespect shown by

kneeling during the National Anthem is doing nothing productive to help the cause he is protesting.

We believe that there are other methods of protest that could be more effective in the fight against racial inequality rather than sitting or kneeling during the National Anthem. We don’t believe that disrespect for our country is the right way to protest something like racial inequality.

We also understand and recognize that there is a problem in our country. Injustices need to be brought to light. People need to talk about it.

But instead of asking why it is happening, or plan on boycotting the NFL, ask a different question? How can we fix the problem. What can we do as individuals to contribute and find a solution? Instead of wasting your time complaining about the protests, find a resolution so there is no longer a need for one.

American sniper, Chris Kyle’s

MAN ON THE STREET

we asked:

wife, Taya Kyle, recently released a powerful letter to the NFL regarding the recent debates. In that letter she states, “You were doing your part celebrating each other based on skills, talent and a joint vision without regard to color and religion.”

She continued saying, “Did it ever occur to you that you and we were already a mix of backgrounds, races and religions? We were already living the dream you want, right in front of you.

Your desire to focus on division and anger has shattered what many people loved most about the sport.”

The most productive method of protest is one that expresses respect for both sides. The NFL has failed to exemplify that. When they’re ready to get off their knees and make a difference, we’ll be here to welcome them back with open arms.

Obviously the solution is not obvious, nor will it be easy, but something needs to be done.

OPINION

csceagle.com | The Eagle | SEPT. 28, 2017

Don’t use 1st Amendment rights to spread hate Anh Le Reporter We are living in the United States of America, a country that is known as the land of liberty and freedom. We have rights to make ourselves individuals. Among these rights is freedom of speech. However, many people misunderstand the differences between freedom of speech and hate speech.

This misunderstanding appears frequently, including in college campuses.

We usually think of speech just as spoken words. But freedom of speech means much more than that. It means having the freedom to believe what you choose and to openly state your beliefs without being accused. According to the First Amendment, the United States Constitution can prevent the government from making laws that will stop or regulate the citizens to say what they want or think. American

citizens have the rights to share their thoughts and opinions with others. In my opinion, the right of free speech is one of the most valuable rights and it makes the United States special. It has proven to have a powerful influence in history.

Humans expressed what they thought was right or wrong and needed to be changed.

So why should freedom of speech be limited? Universities and colleges are communities. They are becoming more and more diverse. The lack of hospitality on campus to anyone who is different from the majority can destroy their self-esteem and confidence. Freedom of speech can be used as a way to “talk trash” to people without consequences. Lots of people say things that are racist, discriminate to a certain groups of people. I believe everyone can see that as an abuse to freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is often used as excuses for online threats. Cyber bully and online harassments are also in this category. Those people who are being bullied

online are also being bullied in real life. Furthermore, cyber bully can happen every second, constantly and anonymously. It can create a fear for people and have serious outcomes.

We can fix this problem; however, it’s not an overnight thing to solve. The reason free speech is so important because universities and colleges encourage ideas. Free speech always creates the opportunities for new ideas to form. In my opinion, education is the place to start. People learn from schools about how to deal with work, families, and lives.

College students are not children, so trying to protect them from the world, telling them what to do or not to do only make the circumstances worse. Instead of forming a speech code, why don’t we just let the students create their own speech codes by educating them? If students learn to understand which are good or bad, they will know how to behave themselves, and avoid all the hate speech. They will be more aware of the situations, and keep an open mind.

Your grades don’t define you Torri Brumbaugh Lifestyles Editor Well, midterms are coming up and I can’t decide whether to jump with joy that midterm break is coming or cry about how much I have left to do.

As we start cramming in information and I look at all the upcoming due dates I have along with all of my extracurricular commitments, I have found it easy to get overwhelmed and drown in my work. I try to stay on top of everything, a key word is try, but it seems that some tasks just fall through the cracks.

Life is throwing things at me in every direction and I just keep reminding myself something that every college student should be reminding themselves too: your grades do not define you.

My friend recently messaged me describing how she has gotten two C’s on her past tests and how she has to really buckle down and focus.

But why?

It is great to go above and beyond and gradu-

ate with honors. In fact, I encourage it. But is an A worth the cost of your mental health?

In high school, I decided that I was never going to be “mediocre.” What I didn’t know was that mind set cost me a lot of time worrying and having anxiety attacks about a biology test (that doesn’t even matter now). If I could go back in time, I’d tell myself to find what I actually liked to do and to prioritize it.

My priorities are much different now and I know that some of the extracurriculars are going to further me in my career and build actual skills. Shifting my focus saved my mental health and I’m actually having fun doing what I do. Even if I got a B on that history test I took Tuesday.

Sometimes busywork is necessary, and obviously we need a lot of classes to graduate, but remember that in 15 years when you’re in the real world, the C that you got in that class completely unrelated to your major probably won’t matter.

C’s get degrees people. Work hard, but your sanity is worth it.

RLA brings Quidditch from Hogwarts to CSC Torri Brumbaugh Lifestyles Editor RLA hosted another successful Quidditch Tournament Friday at the Amphitheater in celebration of Homecoming Week.

Assistant Director Andrew Johnson and his staff at Andrews Hall put the tournament together. While the tournament is in its third year, this is Johnson’s first year in charge.

“I knew very little [about Quidditch], so I had to learn beforehand and then we had to fix a few kinks, but otherwise, it’s turned into a fun event,” Johnson said.

Quidditch is a sport based off of the popular “Harry Potter” franchise of books and film. In “Harry Potter,” the game is played by wizards flying around on broomsticks. Despite the inability to actually fly, the participants were still required to play and score points with a broomstick between their legs.

Five teams showed up to play the fictional game.

Each team was made of seven players, but the teams often had alternates.

Halfway through the game, the golden snitch played by Jonny Dunn, senior of Harrison,

was released. The golden snitch, in both the fictional setting and real life, is known to race around the field. The player who catches the golden snitch essentially wins the game for their team.

“It’s been my lifelong dream to be the snitch in quidditch, and today is just the day that I’m able to fulfill my dream and I have to say I’m honored to represent Andrews Hall,” Dunn said.

Brad the Bigfoot Illustrated by Caleb Wiederhold

I recently had a lazy, rainy day at home with absolutely nothing to do. I started scrolling through Netflix titles on the Recently Added tab and came across “The Founder”. The synopsis of the movie said something along the lines of McDonalds, so I was instantly interested. What type of a college student doesn’t get excited when they hear McDonalds?

The plot of “The Founder” is the creation of the very popular fast food chain: McDon-

alds. The storyline is interesting and easy to follow.

The movie is a biography, so many people may want to scroll right past it, but it had some very intriguing factors to it. The movie grabbed my attention because of the main character, Ray Kroc, who was played by Michael Keaton. He is an entrepreneur in the film who has certain attributes to his character that motivate me. Ray Kroc is needy, driven, and goofy. He is needy in the fact that he will not take no for an answer. He is committed to the McDonalds franchise and will stop at nothing to make it succeed. He is obviously driven because he never stops working.

His work ethic is almost as good as ours here in Nebraska! At one point in the film, Kroc’s wife basically begs him to slow down with his work schedule. Finally, Ray Kroc is goofy, which makes his character more likable.

The plot includes Ray Kroc working with the two McDonalds brothers, Rick and Maurice. The story line is filled with hardships, but successes as well. The film was definitely worth the watch I would rate “The Founder” at four stars.

I usually am not a biography type of movie watcher, but this film had a great main character. I encourage everyone to at least give it a try.

I can hear you.

Wow. Nobody’s going to believe Bigfoot fishing.

Whoa, he just spoke to me. Nobody’s going to believe this.

The Chadron State women’s volleyball team opened up their conference road schedule with a 3-0 sweep of the Mountaineers of Western State Colorado University, Gunnison, Friday, before being swept by the Mavericks of the University of Colorado Mesa, Alamosa, Saturday. Returning home Tuesday night, the Eagles fought hard but lost to the 11th ranked team in the nation, The Regis Rangers of Denver, Colorado, 3-1.

Friday night, the Eagle’s won in dominate fashion, never trailing until the third and final set. Led by three juniors and one senior, the Eagles improved in every set they played stat wise, winning 25-22, 25-16, and 25-23. Dominika Senkerikova, junior of Uhersky Brod, Czech Republic, and Aijahnae Springs, junior of Converse, Texas, led the team with 10 kills each.

“We were all on the board and having fun Friday, there was a lot of energy on the court,” Senkerikova said. “When we don’t have energy it harder to win.”

Madison Webb, junior of Loveland, Colorado led the team with 26 assists while Emily Bruce, senior of Centerton, Arkansas, had 15 digs to lead the team. All four, Senkerikova, Springs, Webb, and Bruce all had game highs for both teams.

Saturday night was the opposite of Friday night, with the Eagle’s being swept and struggling in all categories, losing 2513, 25-15, and 25-13. With 15 being the most points scored in a set by Chadron all night, Mesa excelled both offensively and defensively.

While hitting for a set average of .374, the Mavericks had at least four more kills than the Eagle’s in every set, with 11 more in the first. Mackenzie Edwards led the match with 13 kills for the Mavericks.

“We didn’t bring the energy to win on Saturday,” Senkerikova said. “We have the talent to compete with all the teams in the RMAC, when we are playing together as a team and everyone is on the board, we can do anything.”

Senkerikova led the Eagles with eight kills while Webb had 14 assists and Bruce had 10 digs.

There’s nothing more fun than watching young men go to great lengths to circumvent the rules to get to young women: especially if it means dressing up like a woman. Victorianera Oxford students Charley Wykeham and Jack Chesney recruit their wealthy playboy friend, Lord Fancourt Babberly to impersonate Charley’s Brazilian aunt, Donna Lucia, to chaperone a double date the pair have planned. But unbeknownst to the trio, Jack’s father happens to be after Donna Lucia’s fortune, and the real Donna Lucia has come to town incognito to check up on her nephew.
