Senate introduces by-law revisions tied to Big Event veto Shannon Schneider Managing Editor Senate unanimously voted to revise Student Association Constitution by-laws pertaining to presidential powers after last semester’s Big Event veto.

Vice President of Finance and By-Law Revision Committee member Elizabeth Rotherham, junior of Balfour, North Dakota, introduced the proposed by-law revisions, citing the need to put “a procedure in place” to avoid further confusion if a conflict similar to the Big Event veto occurs in the future.

The current by-law under Article III: Executive Branch, sections 3.4 reads: “The President may submit petitions to the Constitutional Court concerning constitutional questions.” In the revised section, the by-law would state “The President of Student Senate reserves the right to be the sole power to determine his or her conflict of interest or widely perceived material or substantial conflict of interest with a veto. Should the President feel any indication at all that he or she is unable to render a fair judgment for the veto, the President must recuse themselves of the veto immediately after the President determines there is a conflict.”

“A. If the body of the Student Senate finds that the President has a material or substantial bias regarding the current matter, but

chooses not to recuse his or herself, the Senate may make a motion to recognize the President’s conflict of interest and through their motion stay the veto until the Constitutional Court may review the alleged conflict of interest.”

An added section 3.5 would state “Upon a material or substantial conflict of interest, as described in section 3.4 and subsection 3.4A, by the President, the President may delegate his or her veto to the Vice President. If a material or substantial conflict of interest lies with the Vice President as well, the veto will then be passed down to the Secretary.”

Chief Justice Samantha Merrill, senior of Oral, South Dakota, explained that these revisions would put the by-laws “on par” with other by-laws and rules found in the Constitution.

“We’re basically just making it constitutional now and it’s going to follow the train of power as expressed in other places in the Constitution and by-laws. The determination of the conflict of interest is mirrored in the Court rules, so we’re doing it on par with other sections of the Constitution by-laws and rules and basically making so in the event that The Big Event [veto] happens again that there would be a set procedure followed,” Merrill said.

Other by-law revisions include changes to By-Law VI: Faculty Advisors, section A, which states “Three (3) employees of Chadron State College shall advise the CAB: The Director of Student

Activities, Director of Student Affairs, and Director of Internships & Career Services.” The revision eliminates the specific title qualifications for advisers and only requires three employees to advise, regardless of title. The final revision regards By-Law II: Attendance, section B, number one, and will revise “Two tardies will equal one (1) unexcused absence”, to “Two incidents of tardiness will equal one (1) unexcused absence”.

Because revisions are considered constitutional amendments, the student body must vote on the changes. The revisions will be on the upcoming election ballot and will not go into effect until after the spring elections.

AFB budget workshops will be held from 5-7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 21. Vice Chair of Finance Lelisse Umeta, sophomore of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and CAB Vice Chair of Finance Isaac Langan, senior of McCook, will discuss budget packets and will help clubs fill out their packets. All budget packets are due March 1.

Following budget packet submissions, budget hearings will be held Monday, March 11, through Friday, March 15. Hearings will be scheduled Monday through Thursday, with Friday reserved for appeals. In order to get feedback on concerns or issues with the budget process, Umeta said surveys will be issued following the hearings.

Scholarships, increased funding in Ricketts education initiative Shannon Schneider Managing Editor In a press conference Monday, Jan. 7, Governor Pete Ricketts announced plans to create Nebraska talent scholarships and increase funding for programs such as the Developing Youth Talent Initiative (DYTI).

According to an NSCS press release, the initiatives are “designed to connect Nebraskans to high-paying jobs and great educational opportunities.” Ricketts called the legislation “critical” and noted the need to grow our state through job opportunities.

“These new initiatives will help more Nebraskans find the pathway to a great career,” Ricketts said. “I look forward to working with the Legislature on these measures as a part of the budget recommendation I will be making next week.”

The budget recommendation includes the creation of Nebraska Talent Scholarships, a scholarship program that would provide $4,000 scholarships for specific programs at Nebraska’s higher education institutions. These scholarships would be renewable for up to four years and target different areas of study at all of Nebraska’s universities and colleges. For the state college

SENATE “If there’s any issue we can fix, we want to fix it for next year,” Umeta said.

Senate unanimously approved $725.80 for the International Club’s upcoming trip to the University of Colorado-Boulder. 18 club members and two advisers will be traveling for an event with UCB’s International Club.

The money for this will come out of the CAB trip budget, which is part of $135,000 previously allocated.

Senate also approved the $2,500 request from the International Club to cover costs for the International Food Tasting Party. $1,250 of the allocation will pay for for 125 students to dine, while the remaining $1,250 will be used as fundraising money to cover costs for 125 plates reserved for community members.

Tickets will be sold to the public at $10 per plate.

CAB Chair Kimberly Hernandez, senior of Scottsbluff, reminded Senate that CAB will be hosting its spring club fair from 10 a.m. - 1

system, 250 scholarships a year would be created for students in rangeland management, criminal justice and information technology programs.

These scholarships would be available to both incoming and current students.

According to Chadron State College President Randy Rhine, The Nebraska higher education system could also see a 6.1 percent increase in funding to cover salaries and health insurance increases in the next biennial budget period.

Governor Ricketts is also planning on expanding the DYTI, which exposes middle school students to careers in manufacturing and information technology. The current program has provided grants to over 7,000 students in 23 public school districts, averaging 2 grants per year. In the expanded plan, Ricketts proposes to expand the $250,000 annual grant budget to $1.5 million annually, allowing for 12 grants per year.

In the same press release, Nebraska State College Chancellor Paul Turman announced his support, explaining the funding would encourage students to enter high-need professions and make college more affordable at state institutions.

“The Nebraska State College System is excited to work

from page 2 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 23. Clubs are required to have a booth with at least one representative sitting at the booth for the 3-hour event.

Vice President Konery Klueber, junior of Rapid City, South Dakota, announced plans for the Health and Well-Being Committee to continue the Feminine Hygiene Initiative.

As products are running low, Klueber said the committee is looking for other ways to keep the products stocked, including looking at companies that would be willing to sell wholesale or donate.

The Events Committee is planning a budget and prospective dates for Spring Daze and the Nearly Naked Mile. According to Senator Aaron Wood, the committee plans to keep the budget at “$6,000 maximum,” calling the number “a reasonable price” for both events. A theme has not yet been chosen.

Senate currently has $30,999.79 in unallocated funds.

with Governor Ricketts on the Nebraska Talent Scholarship initiative. These scholarships will increase the number of State College graduates entering the workforce in the highneed areas identified by Nebraska businesses in our community meetings,” Turman said. “It also expands opportunities and increases affordability for our students to attend Chadron, Peru, or Wayne State College. The initiative connects students with business and industry during their college careers, resulting in an increased likelihood that these students will choose to enter the workforce in these businesses or elsewhere in rural Nebraska.”

According to Rhine, if this legislation is passed, CSC could see “long term benefits”, including a “raised visibility” to the college and its programs.

“The long term benefits to CSC will be the increase in our base budget, increases in enrollment, and more graduates in these needed fields. Additionally, I believe this effort will raise the visibility of campus throughout the region and potential students will become knowledgeable about all the opportunities to pursue their educational goals at Chadron State,” Rhine said.

Focus on the task at hand Devin Fulton Reporter Focus on your tasks, not the people.

With this being said, the people around you are still important, but as a college student it is important to realize that your work will define you in a way that’s more important than the word of your peers. There are so many assignments and opportunities during our time in college, but we seem to focus on who we want to hang out with or when we want to eat lunch at the same time. We slowly push educational needs to the side to fulfill social needs, which is not a good practice.

College is an excellent opportunity to develop social skills for your future career, but these skills do not mean anything when you have no work to speak of.

Your tasks have a limited timetable, but people have been around

for quite some time and will always be around. The amount of career defining tasks, compared to the people around you, should provide some more perspective. Your classes require you to study, complete a few homework assignments, test you at the end of the semester, and that’s it.

Meanwhile, there are a countless number of people you could spend your time and energy on. The choice is up to you, but what should receive

much more attention than your acquaintances.

If we change our focus to our tasks, this provides those we truly care about with some much needed space as well. With a heavy focus on our social lives, we also forget that our friends have homework too, and other career developing tasks they may be abandoning to enjoy our company. Completing these tasks will impress the important people, your professors and those who you may use as references.

At the end of the day, networking is one of the most important skills to develop. However, we are focusing more on satisfying the people around us instead of accomplishing our tasks.

When you are finished with school or headed towards your next chapter in life, what you did during your time in college will speak higher volumes about you than who you hung out with. Character is much more valuable than reputation.

In your opinion is the government shutdown justified?

AUSTIN HINDMAN

Farewell CSC students: A letter from Dr. Pat Beu Dr. Pat Beu, Senior Director of Student Affairs, offers advice to CSC students before his last day Dr. Pat Beu

11. Your metabolism isn’t what it used to be and that is okay.

Guest Writer

My wonderful CSC student friends: You may or may not have heard that due to fewer enrollment numbers and budget cuts my position has been eliminated at Chadron State College. My last day will be the end of January but I will possibly be gone before that time. Because you have been such dear friends I wanted to let you know and not have it come as a surprise. You truly have been why I have loved my work with the students at this college. I really have appreciated your friendship and association.

There are many things I would like to tell you. I think the edited article by Grace Valentine of Baylor University summarizes most of them. Mostly I want you to know that I have come to know in my life that there truly is a God in heaven who loves us. He cares about you and where you are headed and what a tremendous impact you can make in this world.

He has the ability to guide and direct your life. I have experienced that guidance. If ever I impacted your life in a positive way, I attribute the influence of that divine guidance.

Please go forth and have a wonderful life. If I can be of help for you please let me know.

Good luck and God speed.

College is tough and life is hard. You are going to have moments where all you want to do is celebrate life with your best friends, but you will also have moments where you just want to lock the door, ignore everyone, and have a good cry.

Never forget that your worth comes from something greater than your Biology grade, or whether you are in a relationship or not.

So never forget that although classes may be hard, and you don’t look like you did at 17–God is still good. Finally, I would add only one thing. Don’t do stupid. The consequences can hurt.

Dr. Pat Beu

12. You may not always understand what God is doing, but I promise He has a plan.

13. Every person you meet is battling their own struggles.

14. Life isn’t always great moments.

15. But you have to walk through the forest to get to the mountain top.

Truths College Students Need To Hear Right Now

by Grace Valentine of Baylor University

16. A broken heart isn’t permanent. It is temporarily broken but it will be fixed.

1. The best memories are ones you actually can remember.

17. However, the only one who can fix a broken heart is the one who created it.

2. God isn’t going to ask you if you were in a sorority or fraternity or a part of an athletic team at the pearly gates.

18. So a cute boy or hot girl can’t put the pieces back together.

3. You may have failed a test, but not your life.

4. Numbers and grades don’t define your value.

5. Including how much you weigh.

6. As well as if you are a “7/10” on a so-called “hot scale.”

7. Or if you can bench press 200 lbs. (@ all the guys at the gym, please chill.)

8. Innocence is nothing to be ashamed of.

9. Neither are mistakes.

10. But learn from your mistakes. Mistakes can be lessons, which can be the biggest blessing.

19. Neither can ice cream (but ice cream can totally help).

20. Stop yearning for your ex. They are your ex for a reason.

21. Loving Jesus means loving people, especially loving the image of Him in the mirror you see.

22. Stop crying and hiding your emotions in the bathroom or behind a locked door. You have people in your life who care about you.

23. Suicide is never the answer.

24. Visit with a counselor, minister or mentor.

25. Do you feel your heart pump? Do you feel the air exiting your body? That is a sign you are here for a purpose. Your

Bright Side

Written notes help boost other’s self esteem

Rachel Mitchel Contributor Last year around this time I wrote about the post-it note challenge. You write positive and encouraging things on a post-it note and give the notes to people or just post them around. I want to do something similar this year to try and encourage those around us who are fighting silent battles or maybe encourage yourself.

This time, I challenge everyone to pick a person. This could be your roommate, best friend, coach, or anyone.

Find a quote you think really embodies them. Or compose something about them. Maybe they are a wonderful leader to your team or just someone who always lends an ear when you need to vent. Write something, anything, to show these people how they’ve affected your life and helped in a positive way.

Identifying traits that someone posses is incredible. When

you give someone a compliment, it stimulates the same part of your brain that excites you when you receive cash.

Not only does it create a sense of positivity within someone, it also motivates them to use this trait that you’ve identified.

Think of a time when you had a bad day and someone complimented your smile or a project you presented. Remember how good that feeling was? Imagine doing that for someone else.

Also, giving someone a compliment breaks their ego and

boosts their self-esteem. Instead of focusing on things that make you irritated, think of someone who always makes you happy or maybe someone you noticed hasn’t quite been themselves. It only takes a few seconds of your day to write something down for someone and give it to them. If you give them a note with something on it, they are able to reflect on it. Who knows, they might put that note up in their room and look at it every day. You don’t know what people are going through, and the smallest act of kindness can make someone’s entire day.

The difference between this and what I did last year is that you, as the giver, must take a few seconds of your day to notice someone else. Not just noticing them, but making note of something that you admire about them.

I cannot say it enough: You do not know what other people are going through. It does not take a lot of effort to be kind to someone. If this is the only thing you do for someone else this week (and I really hope it’s not), it will make someone’s day brighter.

Strive to make monthly goals Abigail Swanson Contributor So, how are your New Year’s resolutions going? I get to mid-January and my enthusiasm vanishes.

Ice cream looks so much better than salad. Outside snow (or rain) is falling. I don’t need to exercise today. My jeans still fit—do I really need to lose that holiday blubber?

According to a Scranton University study, even though 77 percent of resolution makers made it past the first week, only 19 percent kept their resolutions over a twoyear period. The odds are not in your favor (or mine).

But don’t give up just yet. Of the successful 19 percent, over half of them admitted to slipping up on their goals.

Making realistic goals is hard.

On Dec. 31st, I assume the next 24

hours will turn me into a superhero. I’ll be able to understand what it means to get in shape, eat healthy, and be a better person. Somehow, by repeating the same thing I tried for the last 365 days, this year I’ll do it. I make big, vague goals.

Big goals are a good starting point, but they aren’t helpful.

Break down a New Year’s goal into baby steps. Ask yourself questions.

What do you mean by “become a better person”? Next December, what do you want “a better person” to be like? What is the end point of your goal? Do you have specific steps to take toward that goal? Is there a book that could help you?

Break down your goal into steps for each month or week. After a month is done, you can look back and see if you accomplished the first step.

Planning out an entire year

can be intimidating. It’s also hard to anticipate the interests you have over the year. To combat this problem, I started making monthly goals.

Around the first of each month, I open up a new page in my planner, or pick a fresh index card. I put anything on this card that I want to do that month. I even put events that I am going to attend on the card. Every month is a fresh start, and there isn’t pressure to make big, life changing goals.

Sometimes I accomplish my goals, and sometimes I don’t. Each month I have a chance to refocus and change my goals. Monthly goal setting also reminds you to come back to your January goals in June. The gym is packed in January. Why not make working out a February or March goal?

You offers capturing glimpse into a stalker’s mind Shannon Schneider Managing Editor Lifetime’s newest thriller features a murder mystery that explores the question of how far a person would go for love Like many of my peers, I’m a self-professed Netflix binger.

And Hulu binger. And Amazon Prime Video binger. If there’s a streaming service, you can bet I’ve found it, and you can also bet I’ve finished a minimum of 3 series on each.

That being said, I’m always on the lookout for a great show to watch. Sometimes, I go off a recommendation a friend gave me. Other times I hear about a show from the proverbial grapevine and do the digging myself. However, most of the time I find these shows through happy accidents. Such was the case for You, a Lifetime network series based on author Caroline Kepnes’ You: A Novel. It was the end of Christmas break and I walked into the living room to find my mom on Netflix. She was three episodes deep by then, and when I asked her what she was watching, all she said was, “Sit down and find out.”

The show stars Penn Badgley (of former Gossip Girl fame) as the titular character of Joe. Joe is a bookstore manager in New York City that’s smart, attractive and awkwardly charismatic. He seems normal enough when he meets Guinevere Beck, an MFA student who wanders into his shop looking for a

specific book. Joe falls in love with Beck the moment he sees her, and from her receipt he looks her up on the internet to find out more.

This is where things get weird. Joe is able to find Beck’s Facebook and Instagram pages through a simple Google search, but as he digs deeper he finds her apartment address and begins to spy on her. He memorized her schedule, follows her wherever she goes and eventually plans “coincidental” meet-ups that result in a relationship. Beck has no knowledge of this, but as the pair spends more time together Joe becomes increasingly attached to her and goes to drastic lengths to “protect” Beck and their relationship. As her friends begin to catch on to Joe’s unsettling behavior, he has to find ways to quiet them and keep himself off the radar and in Beck’s life.

It will be easy to finish You in a matter of days (or day, if you’re really serious and have 10 consecutive hours to spare),

and for a lot of reasons. Firstly, the acting and casting is topnotch. Penn Badgley as Joe and Elizabeth Lail as Beck was a great pairing, and the two offer just the right on screen chemistry to make the relationship feel real and terrifying. Supporting actress Shay Mitchell (of Pretty Little Liars) steals the show in every scene she’s in, and a surprise cameo by John Stamos is the cherry on top.

Secondly, the show does not paint Joe as the stereotypical “bad guy”. At times, you’ll feel sorry for Joe. In scenes like the one where his abusive foster parent locks him up in the bookshop’s basement for days on end, you’ll try to rationalize Joe’s behavior and might find yourself pitying him.

Planners for success: Make planning fun, but prioritize Samantha Persinger Opinion Editor I recently discussed the failure of the daily planner with one of my best friends. I have tried numerous times to stick to one planner and get my life in order. However, it always flops within a week. This year, we are both trying hard to stick to the one planner that will rule our life.

Will it last? Let us hope so. I have come up with some good tips on how to stick to keeping a planner. I am going to keep my planner and be the best person I can be.

First of all, find a planner that is not distracting. Having the prettiest or trendiest planner is not the goal. Find something that will fix your focus on sticking to a daily routine. If you prefer that paisley planner over a boring black one, then go for it. However, do not let that distract you.

Secondly, do find some element of fun. It is common knowledge. If something is fun, then you will likely repeat that activity.

For example, my friend is using stickers to categorize the days she has coffee dates, club events and school work. It is something we both enjoy above all else.

Color categorizing is also very helpful. The fun we added to our planners has helped us stick to them, quite literally.

Thirdly, we all have clutter in our lives. Find the clutter and throw it out. Prioritize what is important and what is not. For example, doing group work in a class is much more important than a nap. However, do not be a shut in. Prioritizing also involves finding the fun.

Fourthly, if you think the planner is going to flop, then see if it is really helping you. Maybe there is a planner that works better for you, versus how a planner would work for someone else. Research better ideas. Pinterest is very good at inspiration, and others may have sage advice for you.

Finally, you have to believe you can do it. I have found that if I tell myself that it is going to flop, it will. Give yourself those positive vibes. Like the sticker idea, getting excited to do something forces me to look at what I need to do that week. Believe you can do it, and your planner will not flop.

CSC range students and members of the community gathered in the Student Center Ballroom, Monday, for the 4th annual Range Day conference. Range Day consists of speakers from both Chadron State and surrounding states, and opportunities for students to present topics related to rangeland management. Free lunch was served for those attending.

Nevin Price, resources coordinator with the Upper Niobrara White Resources District, said Range Day is an important day for the range students and community.

For students, the resources can be invaluable as they are exposed to knowledge they wouldn’t normally get day-to-day.

“It gives the students presenters that they cannot see in a classroom,” Price said.

Price also emphasized the importance of the C.F. Coffee Gallery’s support for the range program and Range Day. Range Day was started four years ago, and Price said the high attendance will help continue the annual conference. According to Price, community members and students both benefit by receiving better knowledge for better rangeland management.

The presentations ranged from grassland management and range health to rotational grazing and beaver analogue benefits, offering a variety of topics for Range Day. The day began at 8:30 a.m. with complimentary coffee and donuts provided by P.R.I.D.E. At 9 a.m. Tim Buskirk, a CSC alumnus and USDA Forest Service district ranger, presented on recovery efforts during the 2012 Pine Ridge forest fires and surrounding areas.

The Pit plays host to welcome back party Tin Huynh Reporter Last Thursday, as students were settling into the first week of the spring semester, The Student Center Lounge and The Pit hosted a Late Night at The Pit Welcome Back Bash in the Student Center from 9 p.m. to midnight.

The party was organized by Pit staff member Sara Flores, junior of Tegucigalpa. Flores said the welcome back party was to welcome students to a new semester. Flores, along with six other staff members helped run the night.

About 40 students came to par-

ticipate in the night’s activities.

“They have good stuff tonight; good food, good music, good night,” Said Jaden Mohr, 19, freshman of Kimball. “This event gave students an opportunity to interact with their peers and have a good time.”

The event had a variety of different games including water pong, pool and cornhole. Snacks and refreshments were also provided.

There were also raffle prizes drawn at midnight. Students could win prizes such as movies, candy, school supplies and more.

From 7-9 p.m. tonight, The Pit will be pairing up with NOCS to host a country swing dance night in the Student Center Ballroom.

Cream pies scattered the floor Monday night in the Hub for RLA’s Pie Your Resident Adviser.

About 50 students gathered to throw pies at an resident adviser or associate director for a good cause.

Students who donated a dollar or a canned good were able to throw a pie at an R.A. If a student donated $5, they had the option to throw a cream pie at an A.D. RAs from every dormitory participated in the event. Lena Aslan 20, Sophomore of Elizabeth, Colorado, was among the RAs being pied.

“I picked a bad day to be an RA,” Aslan said.

Anthony Zimny, Associate Director of Andrews hall, helped plan

the pie-throwing event. Zimny said he had used this kind of levity before at another school, and it was a hit with students.

“Sometimes resident advisers are seen as authority figures, so this gives students a de-stressor.” Zimny said.

The canned goods are being donated to a local food bank. The money will be used for other RLA events. Zimny explained that events like this are helpful when it comes to funding RLA programs.

“It [events like Pie Your RA] is used to have a stronger budget to put on better programs,” Zimny said.

RLA’s next event will be a pancake breakfast in the Edna Conference room, tomorrow at 7 a.m. On Monday they will be hosting a Kahoot Night in the Hub at 7 p.m.

Rubble photos document Chadron history Shannon Schneider Managing Editor From 1 - 3 p.m. on Sunday, the Mari Sandoz Center saw nearly 200 people during the Photos from the Rubble reception, an event that showcasing the early 20th century photography of Chadron’s Ray and Faye Graves.

The reception kicked off with an introduction

by Laure Sinn, school of Business, Mathematics, Science and Rangeland Program Coordinator.

Noting that this exhibit has been “a hundred years in the making,” Sinn thanked the many volunteers and community members who, over the years, have devoted their time and resources into making the reception a reality.

The photography featured in the exhibit ranges from 1906 to 1940. Several prints, including one of the last known photographs of Chief Red Cloud, and an image of President Theodore Roosevelt campaigning in 1912 were on display. Holly Counts, a volunteer and 2007 CSC alumna, has worked extensively on the project and said that this was the first time many non-portrait photographs have been featured.

“They did an exhibit in 2004, which [Allen] Shepherd and [Philip] Krebel did that, and that was mainly portraits. So this is the first time that more of the variety of their work has been shown,” Counts said.

Ray and Faye Graves operated their photography studio from 1909 through the early 1940s.

According to former student intern Frank Snocker, Ray Graves was trained by Eastman Kodak in Rochester, New York, prior to coming to Chadron. After seeing Faye’s potential, Ray trained Faye and the pair worked together until Ray’s death in 1919 from the Spanish flu epidemic.

After taking a couple years off following Ray’s death, Faye resumed photography and continued to run the studio until her retirement in 1940. The Graves Studio plates weren’t found until 1973 after a bulldozer demolishing a building at 250 Main Street cleared a false wall and revealed the plates.

Over the years, several student interns, professors and volunteers have worked on digitizing and preserving the recovered 1,100 plates, a small fraction of original 10,000 plates that were stored in the cabinet behind the false wall. 9,000 plates were accidentally destroyed in the 1973 demolition.

The reception also featured period music performed by Department of Music instructor Bobby

Copies of the book, “Ray & Faye Graves Photographic Studio Collection,” were given away Sunday at the “Photos from the Rubble” reception at the Mari Sandoz High Plains Heritage Center.

Pace and CSC students as well a theme photography opportunity by reception assistant Daniel Binkard. In it, attendees could pose and have their picture taken by long-exposure, similar to the technique Ray and Faye Graves would have used in their dry plate photography.

For some, the exhibit serves as a personal touchstone for years gone by. Betty Reading, whose baby pictures and grade school pictures are featured in the exhibit, felt as if she was in the limelight.

“I feel like a celebrity, but I didn’t ask for it!”

Reading said.

For others like Snocker, the exhibit reveals not only “the entire history of Chadron State College,” but also the “township” of the high plains region and the history behind it.

“What the Society is sitting on, in my own opinion,” Snocker said, “is a gold mine.”

The Graves exhibit runs from Sunday, Jan. 13 until Friday, March 29 in the Mari Sandoz High Plains Heritage Center. Center hours are Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. - noon, and 1 - 4 p.m., and Friday, 10 a.m. - noon.

CSC built an early 26-9 lead on the Trailblazers but had difficulty putting Dixie away through the remainder of the game. Dixie State managed to close the gap to 62-61 with about 20 seconds remaining, forcing CSC to rely on a pair of game-clenching free throws from guard Colby Jackson, junior of Las Vegas, Nevada.

The win helped provide a lift for the team which lost both of its previous games, including to Westminster the night before, in overtime,

CSC women lose two games in Utah Nicole Lartey Reporter After two home wins to open 2019, the CSC Eagles’ women’s basketball team lost both road games in Utah this weekend.

Friday, in Salt Lake City, the Eagles fell 82-46 to Westminster College, then Saturday, in St. George, Dixie State dealt the team an 87-52 loss.

The losses drop the Eagles to 3-12 this season and 2-7 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.

Saturday, the Eagles kept pace with the Westminster Griffins early, but a disastrous second quarter that saw the Griffins outscore Chadron 23-2 and put the Eagles down 46-20 at the half, a deficit too big for the team to overcome.

“It was pretty rough this weekend,” CSC Head Coach Janet Raymer said, “we shot down our defense, but we’re fully motivated to go again this weekend.”

Jessica Harvey, sophomore of Morrill, tallied 16 points to lead the Eagles against Westminster. The sophomore hit two 3-pointers, including one to briefly tie the game 18-18 in the final minute of the first quarter.

The Eagles wouldn’t score again until the four-minute mark

Men’s We wanted to play (against Dixie) with confidence like we’re 7-2, because two plays don’t define us. I thought (the team) were tuned in, played with intensity, and played together very well.”

The Eagles out-rebounded the Trailblazers 46-27, including 16 offensive rebounds to Dixie State’s six.

Chadron guard Diontae Champion, senior of Pearl, Mississippi, led the Eagles with 13 points and eight rebounds.

CSC lost a key contributor in the first half against the Trailblazers when junior Michael Sparks, of Denver, suffered a sprained ankle and didn’t play the remainder of the game.

Filling in for Sparks, Jordan Mills, junior of Alliance, shot 50-percent from the field and added six points off the bench.

On Friday, the Eagles traveled to Salt Lake City where they found themselves trailing 7064 with about thirty seconds remaining, but a 3-pointer from Jackson helped keep the team in contention and lapse in discipline from Westminster’s Jake Conner set up the Eagles, who trailed 75-72, with five free throws.

Like the Griffins, the Trailblazers shot well against Chadron, hitting 50-percent of their opportunities in the first half to lead 51-30.

The Trailblazers’ London Pavlica, freshman of Las Vegas, Nevada, led all scorers with 20 points. Pavlica scored eight of 11 from the field, coming off the bench later in the game.

Unfortunately for the Eagles, they’d once again be unable to control play in extra time and were outscored 18-11. 12 of the Griffins overtime points came from free throws.

Turnovers helped dictate the outcome of the game with the Eagles losing the battle 1915. Four Eagle turnovers occurred in overtime.

Champion and Jackson once again led the Eagles in scoring, Champion with 18 points and Jackson with 15. With the game on the line, Jackson, Champion and Delimont scored 11 points in under 30 seconds to force overtime.

CSC wrestling coach gets homecoming Following loss to CSU-Pueblo, Chadron State looks to bounce back in hometown of CSC Head Coach Brett Hunter Brandon Davenport Sports Editor

The Chadron State wrestlers dropped to 3-4 last Thursday, after a 31-3 road loss to CSU-Pueblo, one of the best NCAA DII wrestling programs in the nation.

Tied for seventh in the NCAA DII Wrestling Coaches Association rankings, the Thunderwolves have four nationally ranked wrestlers and are 4-1 in duals this season.

Chadron’s only win of the dual came at 285-pounds when Rulon Taylor defeated Shane Coombs by 5-1 decision, but Eagles’ Head Coach Brett Hunter was happy his Chadron group kept several matches close.

“Pueblo is a great team,” Hunter said.

“Top to bottom, throughout the lineup we had a lot of close matches with them. Brandon Kile at (133-pounds) was wrestling the number two guy in the country and had him on the ropes. (Kile) should have beat him, should have had a takedown.”

Kile’s opponent, then fourth-ranked DII wrestler D’Andre Brumfield, junior of Dallas, improved his rank to second following the match. A junior from Hastings, Kile wrestled Brumfield to a lengthy sudden-death overtime where eventually the Thunderwolves’ wrestler came away the victor, despite some controversy.

“We felt Brandon had a takedown in overtime, but the official didn’t award the takedown,” Hunter said.

“We had matches where we could have won, so it’s disappointing to see the end result in terms of the score,” Hunter said, “but when you look at each match we were in every one of them. Kind of mixed feelings after the match.”

Tonight, the CSC wrestlers have a special opportunity to put the Pueblo loss firmly behind him as the team will square off with Colorado Mesa in a unique location - the same Rushville gym where a young Hunter excelled in high school.

A state champion Rushville wrestler in

2002 and 2004, Hunter had the idea of his team wrestling back in his home town sometime last Spring.

“When I wrestled at Rushville, the wrestling tradition was well respected,” Hunter said. “We won three state titles when I was competing there. I could tell there’s been a lack of wrestling tradition in the area so I called (Gordon-Rushville Athletic Director) Ward Wacker and asked him his thoughts on it. He was all for it.”

From there Hunter had to run the idea

by CSC Athletics and administration, who Hunter said were also quick to get on board for the event.

Luckily for Hunter, so to was Colorado Mesa Head Coach Chuck Pipher.

How do Hunter’s wrestlers feel about the brief change in home scenery?

“If you ask anyone in town, they know that Coach Hunter has a legacy in Rushville,” Chadron wrestler Wade French, junior of Heriman, Utah, said. “It adds a little bit of extra pressure on us as a team because we want to live up to Coach Hunter’s image that he built for himself there. Mesa is a tough team, so it’s going to take a whole team effort in order to win, but I believe this team has what it takes.”

As for Hunter’s feelings?

“This is something I’d wanted to do, I thought it was a great idea,” Hunter said, “but now leading up to it, seeing the support and the people you haven’t thought about in a long time resurfacing and helping promote it - as we get closer I’m starting to get a few more feelings.

“It means a lot to me, just to go back to Rushville - a place that I still call home - and be in the gym where I competed. I really haven’t been back in their facilities for a long time. I’m really fortunate and feel lucky that Chadron State administration has allowed us to do this. Hopefully this is something we can continue to do.”

Friday, the CSC wrestlers return to their usual home at the NPAC for a bout with 7-2 Western Colorado.

CSC’s Taryn Foxen, sophomore of Aurora, Colorado, shown holding the basketball, looks to find a passing lane to teammate Jessica Lovitt (23), freshman of Mullen, through a pair of Adams State University defenders, including Brooke Neal (13), senior of Blue Springs, Montana. Chadron defeated the Grizzlies 67-57, Jan. 4, at the Chicoine Center. CSC’s women’s basketball team maintained the highest GPA of all teams last Fall.

The numbers are in. With a combined grade-point-average of 3.69, the CSC women’s basketball team is the new Fall GPA champion.

Academic numbers are in for this past Fall semester, revealing how CSC athletic teams fared off the court, and in the classroom. The following are some of the highlights from the results.

The football team had the most 4.0 GPAs among CSC teams, with 12, and volleyball and women’s cross-country were tied for second most with six each. As far as percentages, the women’s golf team had the most 4.0 GPAs as a percentage of their roster with about 38 percent. Women’s cross country and volleyball were next-best with about 33 percent and about 32 percent respectively.

According to Associate Athletic Director Chris Green, of 324 athletes, 213, or about 66-percent, were over a 3.0 GPA; 125, about 39-percent, were over 3.5; and 45, or about 14-percent had a 4.0. Within those figures, multisport students are counted twice.

“Our student athletes did really well,” Green said of the Fall semester. “It shows how dedicated they are to their sports and to the classroom.”

The football team, winner of two straight RMAC Brechler awards for best GPA in the conference, is on pace for its best GPA in six years.
