Senate supports faculty-in-residents program Katelyn Lambert Reporter Senate voted unanimously to support the Faculty-in-Residence program, a pilot program with plans to be initiated next semester.

“We’re not making the final decision, we are just supporting it, yes or no,” Senate President Carly Slaght said. “This is going to be a pilot program for not only us, but for the faculty and staff, so nobody really knows how it’s going to work until we put it into place and have it working.”

Resident Advisors specifically want more information on the new program.

Senate currently has a budget of $21,846.40 in unallocated funds, which will be changing before next semester to allow more money for Spring Daze and other upcom-

ing spring events.

Senate unanimously appointed Shaniya DeNaeyer as the new chair for the By-Law Revision Committee.

CAB reported to Senate that last Friday’s Casino Night had 120 people in attendance, and there will be a pool party, Friday, from 7-10 p.m.

The last Free Movie Night of the semester is Sunday.

“The Star,” “Wonder” and “Coco” will be shown.

After a petition on meal plan restrictions was brought to Senate and tabled until further discussion with Dining Services, Vice President Johnathan Sayaloune reported that contracts with Dining Services are reevaluated every five years. The next re-contracting will not be until 2020.

Library Learning Commons Surveys were distributed at the Senate meeting, and were to be returned at the end of the meeting.

Organization allocation information sheets were also distributed to Senate. The Organization Allocations information sheet contained information regarding how funds are allocated and how allocation funds can be used by organizations. “[The Organization Allocations sheets] just got sent out to the clubs as well, so if you know anyone who would like that, go ahead and forward it on. It’s for whoever wants it,” Vice President of Finance Lukas Klueber said.

Senate is still looking for justices for the spring semester. The position of solicitor general will be opening up again in the spring.

“Just a reminder, the solicitor general is a semester position, so we will start receiving applications again.

Those will be due to the court,” Chief Justice Samantha Merrill said.

CAB holds election for Vice Chair of Relations Nalani Stewart News Editor Elections were held at the CAB meeting for the position of CAB chair, Vice Chair of Programing, and Vice Chair of Public Relations, Tuesday.

During the meeting, CAB chair Trista Schell passed the gravel onto Kimberly Hernandez, making her the new CAB chair and opening up her position as Vice Chair of Programming. Isabella Irish, 21, senior of Hemingford, resigned from Vice Chair of Relations, and accepted the position of Vice Chair of Programming. Ashley Gebhard,

CAB is hosting a Christmas Pool Party Friday, Dec. 8, from 7-10 p.m. at the Chadron Area Aquatic and Wellness Center.

“There will be snacks, drinks, and music,” Hernandez said. “So, spread the word, and I hope to see you guys there.”

Casino Night, hosted by CAB, went well, with a turnout of 120 students.

The next Free Movie Night is Sunday with “Coco,” “The Star,” and “Wonder” showing.

“Let your clubs know so that we can get a good turnout,” Irish said.

An Organization Information sheet was

sent out on Monday, to club presidents and advisors answering any questions about organization allocations. The sheet answer questions about what funds are and where they come from, as well as where clubs can use allocation funds to purchase items for their organizations.

“The Activities Fee Board has been working really hard to try and answer your questions,” Snyder said “If you guys have any additional questions that you feel your clubs might have, just email the AFB email, otherwise you can email me specifically.”

A Library Learning Commons Survey was handed out at the meeting to “measure the satisfaction with the library materials,

online resources, and services offered” at the library.

“We appreciate your feedback,” Adviser Deena Kennell said. “There are some likely changes happening at the learning center.”

The Health and Wellbeing committee is looking into have a health and wellbeing fair event in the spring semester.

“In the spring semester, we are looking into some kind of mental health/wellbeing programing,” said Student Activies Director Megan Bren. “So, if you guys have any ideas, or want to contribute to that please let us know.”

There is no CAB meeting Tuesday, as it is finals week.

Students petition to change meal plan time periods Nalani Stewart News Editor Student Cody Madrigal, freshman of Omaha, wrote a letter addressed to Director of Housing and Residence Life Austin Stephens, Student Senate, The Eagle, and President Randy Rhine, regarding the restriction of 14 block meal plan.

The plan offers 14 meals per week, two meals a day, with access to meals restricted to breakfast from 7 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., lunch from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and dinner from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., and late night from 8 p.m. to midnight.

Madrigal petitioned in the Student Center, asking students to sign their names if they felt that they disagreed with the meal plan time periods, and “hoped for the removal of this restriction.” The petition received 246 signatures.

Senator at large Lelisse Umeta reported the petition to Senate during their meeting on Monday, Nov. 27.

Senate, aware of the petition, discussed the letter and decided to table the discussion until Madrigal met with Dining Services Director Tracy Shuck. Having not met with Shuck yet, Madrigal hoped to change the policy regarding the restrictions.

“There are a lot of situations where it is inconvenient, and dropping the policy would make everything easier,” Madrigal said. “I work the night shift, and there are days when I miss out because of the policy.”

There are multiple meals plans offered to students, including the 14-meal plan with $100 in bonus bucks, the 150-meal block plan with $200 in bonus bucks and the 280-meal block plan with $200 in bonus bucks, as well as the 5-meal commuter plan. Each meal plan is restricted to the same meal plan time periods.

“This is done for two reasons. The first is to allow a natural break in the dining room serving hours, and the second being an IT concern,” Shuck stated in an email.

“Dining services had to define meals periods so that the ID system has time to load the data. If times were not

Jones reads exerpts from his 2018 book Nalani Stewart News Editor Markus Egeler Jones, assistant professor in English and Humanities, presented a public reading, Thursday in the Mari Sandoz High Plains Heritage Center Chicoine Atrium.

Jones was the first reader of the CSC Distinguished Writer Series, sponsored by the English and Humanities department. He will be followed by two poets.

A graduate of Eastern Kentucky University, Jones’ first novel “How the Butcher Bird Finds Her Voice” will be published in early 2018. Jones has also had short stories appear in “Crab Fat Magazine.” The stories include “The Story Shake,” “The Windward Review,” “The Wild Word,” “The New Mexico Review” and “Gehenna & Hinnom,” and others.

The first reading was an excerpt from his

novel, “How the Butcher Bird Found Her Voice,” a love story set in a dystopian south.

The two main characters Cindy and Chicken Noodle are in Santa Fe, New Mexico, at an event where people burn a giant paper mache marionette. On each scrap of paper that goes into the marionette is something that the people want to unburn from themselves.

Towards the end of the reading Cindy gets lost at the event trying to throw her own paper in the bonfire and Chicken Noodle burns her paper for her.

His second reading, a short story he wrote a few months before, was a murder mystery.

One of the main characters, Max is having an affair with a woman named Darla. In order to be with Max, Darla murders her husband, and hides him in the freezer in her basement.

The event had a major turnout with about 100 students and faculty who showed up.

defined, the system would crash. It does the same thing if you ring up more than 10 items at a time.”

John Hansen, Vice President of EMMSS, explained that the 14 meal block plan costs less than the other plans, and that “parents typically want this meal plan because it ensures that their children have meals.”

Although no decisions are being made now,” Hansen said, “We might consider if we can offer a block plan between 150-meal plan and 280-meal plan.”

“I am glad to be aware of problems that students are having,” Hansen said. “We are not ignoring that students want something different.”

“I have to stay realistic,” said Madrigal. “I can’t plan on them totally just dropping [the restrictions], because of this small thing that I brought up. Maybe we could come to a compromise, like maybe changing it to spending two meals in one meal period, or other things.”

If you want to change your meal plan, you can do this at the end of the semester at the housing office.

Turner case shows flaw in justice system Former Stanford University student and champion swimmer, Brock Turner, was convicted back in March 2016 for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman behind a dumpster after a party in January of that year. His judge, Aaron Persky, sentenced Turner, on accounts of three sexual assault felonies, to six months of the potential 14-year sentence.

Turner was released in September 2016, only three months into his six-month sentence, on account of “good behavior.”

His lawyer, Eric Multhaup, released a 172 page brief this past Friday that stated how Turner didn’t receive a fair trial and was sentenced unjustly for several reasons. Among those reasons were claims such as that he did not get a character witness brought to the stand to testify Turner’s character, swimming career, and academic performance.

According to The New York Times, about 60 pages also discuss primarily about how intoxicated the victim was on the night of the attack.

We believe that the intoxication level of the victim has nothing to do with Turner’s actions or should come to benefit Turner in his trial. The victim was uncon-

scious, therefore unable to give consent.

There is no argument to be had there.

The victim made a very powerful statement during the June 2016 trial that sent chills down the spines of the audience, “You don’t know me, but you’ve been inside me, and that’s why we’re here today. . . You took away my worth, my privacy, my energy, my time, my intimacy, my confidence, my own voice, until today.” She gives a full recount of her experiences that night. You can find her full statement on Washington Post’s website.

According to The New York Times, in response to Turner’s appeal of sexual assault conviction, Jeff Rosen, the Santa Clara County district attorney, said in a statement on Saturday, “Brock Turner received a fair trial and was justly convicted. His conviction will be upheld. Nothing can ever roll back Emily Doe’s [the victim] legacy of raising the world’s awareness about sexual assault.”

By making this appeal and asking for another trial, Turner also risks a second conviction, if his trial is granted by California’s Sixth District Court of Appeal.

In March 2016, Turner was convicted

MAN ON THE STREET

we asked:

of three felonies, including assault with intent to rape an intoxicated woman and sexually penetrating an unconscious person with a foreign object.

However, in a way, this conviction appeal has done a few positive things. It has created a national outcry, which has in-turn, created more of an awareness and attention drawn to sexual assault cases on campuses nation-wide.

Back in September 2016 when Turner was set free after serving three of his six-month sentence, California lawmakers closed what they called a sentencing loophole, by creating harsher penalties for assaults similar to Turner’s. This bill would change state law, which treats sexual assaults involving penetration differently when a victim is unconscious or severely intoxicated.

While cases like Brock Turner’s are infuriating and disgusting, it has revealed the flaws in the justice system that need to be addressed. Obviously we hope that something like this doesn’t happen again, but if and when it does, the victim, the victim’s family, and all else affected need to be assured that the attacker will be properly punished.

OPINION

csceagle.com | The Eagle | DEC. 7, 2017

Give yourself a break during “The Bright Side Nightmare Before Christmas” On the Rachel Mitchell Columnist The nightmare before Christmas. As much as I wish this was a piece about Tim Burton or Jack Skellington, that is not the nightmare before Christmas I am talking about. I am talking about finals week.

A living nightmare that students must endure more often than they prefer. Students all over campus are studying and cramming for the final tests that could possibly make or break their grade.

With just a little time before finals start a few questions pop into mind.

How can we get through this nightmare? What is the best way to conquer the upcoming finals week? I have five tips that you can use to help get you through finals!

The first is to prioritize your study

time. Do not put off studying to right before your test. Schedule yourself enough time to review notes and any other material you may need to know before the exam.

Maybe find someone in your class that would want to study with you and review.

Second, try to stay well rested. I know that this is way easier said than done. But pulling an all-nighter to study is not as effective as getting rest before an exam.

Make sure you allow yourself time for studying but also enough time for your brain and body to rest.

The third tip is to make sure you take breaks and socialize a bit between studying. For me I have a hard time studying for hours on end without my brain feeling completely fried. I make sure to set a goal for myself then take a break.

When you take a break go for a walk or see if a friend wants to grab coffee!

Giving yourself a break from studying is important so you do not overwhelm yourself. Also getting some fresh air can be relieving after studying for awhile!

My fourth tip is to put your phone and unnecessary electronics out of view. I try to keep my phone in my bag or across my room when I study so I do not end up spending forty minutes on

Youtube watching fail compilation videos.

If you are studying on a computer log out of your social media accounts so you are not tempted to scroll through them.

The last and most important tip is to encourage yourself. When you are feeling overwhelmed and tired take a minute to give yourself a pep talk.

Before finals week print out some encouraging quotes and hang them around your room or house. Or maybe print out some of your favorite meme’s.

Whatever will encourage you to get through this nightmare before Christmas break.

I hope that these five tips will help you get through finals and encourage you to do your very best with the upcoming week! May the odds be ever in your favor my dudes!

I wish for peace between Disney and ksckwake1 Caleb Wiederhold Cartoonist Let me say this, there are many things that are out of my control. I don’t know everything and what’s going on in any situation, nor do I have any control over any situation. I also can’t control what decisions Disney makes or what the fanfiction writer ksckwake1 thinks.

Here’s what I’ve talked about before; ksckwake1 thinks Disney took parts of one of his fanfictions and make into “Olaf ’s Frozen Adventure.” But, he has stated that he isn’t sure if it is true, then stated what other ideas they were exploiting, if it is. I don’t know everything about this situation or on each side of those stories. I don’t even know if Disney is aware of this situation or not.

Here’s the thing, I like a lot of things from ksckwake1’s work in his fanfictions and I like various things coming

from Disney.

I like how ksckwake1 gave Elsa a fire-wielding boyfriend and other parts of his fanfictions, like Chapter 16 of his “Frozen 2: Fire and Ice” fanfiction, which I discussed about before.

From Disney, I like various movies and other things made by Disney.

Personally, I think ksckwake1 would be good addition for the latest “Frozen 2” project. It would be nice seeing him getting involved and having various aspects of his fanfictions being based into a movie. Mostly, I would like to see Elsa getting a fire-wielding beau on the big screen.

But, if he doesn’t want to be involved, it would be nice if he gave Disney permission to use his ideas in a fair way for the project.

But, the thing is, I would like to see peace between those two. I don’t have any control over in this situation, but it would be nice to see peace between them.

To ksckwake1, if you read this, I just want to thank you for your work. Please don’t be hard on Disney.

I am aware of some of the slip-ups they had and please don’t think negatively of them. In my opinion, I think you would make good addition to Disney’s “Frozen 2” project, but it’s your choice if you want to be involved in the project or not. If Disney does offer you a spot for that project, I encourage you to join in. But, if don’t want to, just give Disney permission to use your ideas in a fair way.

To Disney, I want to thank you for the various movies you given us. If you read this, please don’t be mad at ksckwake1 for thinking that you took his ideas.

If you didn’t, could you please show him that you didn’t do it? I personally think ksckwake1 would be perfect addition for latest “Frozen 2” project, because of his various ideas in his fanfictions, but it’s your choice.

For both Disney and ksckwake1, I wish peace for you and peace between you. Again, thank you both.

CSC Jazz Band and Vocal Jazz tackle challenging music for final concert of the semester Yen Nguyen Reporter CSC Jazz Band and Vocal Jazz concert drew about 60 people to Memorial Hall, Tuesday.

The seven members of Vocal Jazz, under the direction of Joel Schreuder, professor of music, opened the night with “Not While I’m Around,” arranged by Kerry Marsh, and “Bill Bailey,” arranged by Ken Kraintz.

The famous songs, “Beyond the Sea,” “Angel Eyes,” “In a Mellow Tone” and “I Could Write a Book,” offered the audi-

ence diverse rhythms performed by the talented Vocal Jazz students.

“My favorite part is getting on stage and interacting with everyone else in the ensemble. It’s fun to see everyone smile and move to the music, and I think that helps the audience get more into the concert, too!” Katelyn Lambert, 19, sophomore of Scottsbluff said.

“It can be hard singing along with everyone, just because jazz chords are a lot different than typical chords,” Lambert added, “but when the chords fall into place, it’s always really exciting to see what kind of music we can create.”

Following Vocal Jazz was CSC’s Jazz Band, with the direction of Michael Stephens, associate professor of music.

The band created beautiful sound with various instruments. “[Our set had] a lot of technical challenges with fingering, and the fast rhythms,” Kallie Bush, 20, junior of Kimball, said when asked about her challenges when performing.

Bush added that she was pleased with their performance and look forward to performing many other pieces next year.

“I was a little terrified but we made it fun. So that’s good!”

Bush said.

Wrestling team beats Mavericks on criteria McKenna Jones Reporter The CSC wrestling team participated in two duals this weekend at Western State Colorado University, Gunnison, and Colorado Mesa University, Grand Junction, coming out on top against Colorado Mesa.

The Eagles lost to the Western State Mountaineers 30-11, Friday night. Three members of the team won matches in the dual. Chance Karst, 133-pound freshman of Powell, Wyoming, won by major decision, 13-3, over Jody Sandoval, freshman of Fort Lupton, Colorado. The second win was by Rulon Taylor, 285-pound redshirt junior of Curtis who beat Samuel DeSeriere, freshman of Westminster, Colorado, by major decision, 12-2. Karst and Taylor were the two members Head Coach Brett Hunter said stood out during the weekend’s duals.

“Chance Karst continues to be consistent every time he steps out there,” Hunter said. “We had Rulon Taylor who won both of his matches as well. Those two stood out for us.”

Coach Hunter thought the team lacked effort in their

first dual of the weekend.

“The Western State dual is a tough place to wrestle at,” Hunter said. “I just don’t think we wrestled with much effort.”

The team stepped up their effort in the next dual at Colorado Mesa University.

“The entire Mesa dual we had guys step up,” Hunter said. “The Mesa dual came down to the wire and it was a great team effort, the team responded well.”

After the final match it was tied at 20, so the decision went to criteria, where individual points decided the winner.

The Eagles beat Mesa 47-37 in individual points. The dual was close competition, with Karst, Jacob DeSersa, 149-pound sophomore of Hot Spring, South Dakota, and Evan Smith, 125-pound junior of Gillette, Wyoming, all scoring extra points to break the 20-20 tie. Smith was the only CSC wrestler to record a win by fall, pinning Tim Romero, sophomore of Thorton, Colorado, in the first period.

CSC won five out of 10 matches, winning the dual by points. Together, Karst and DeSersa scored 31 individual points for the Eagles.

Karst won by major decision, 16-2, against Dylan Keeney, freshman of Payson, Arizona. Karst went undefeated in the weekend’s duals, along with teammate Rulon Taylor.

Taylor won over Brandon Closson, freshman of Pleasant Grove, Utah, by decision, 5-0.

DeSersa defeated Luke Au-Yeung, freshman of Windsor, California, by major decision, 15-2.

Johnny Porter, 165-pound redshirt junior of Bellevue, beat Trent Armintrout, freshman of Norwood, Colorado, by decision, 5-2.

Four Eagles also competed in the Colorado Mesa University Open, Sunday. Adrian Cisneros, 133-pound redshirt junior of Fontana, California, and 149-pound redshirt junior Chase Clasen, of Moses Lake, Washington, finished third in their respective weight classes.

The Eagles will travel to Crete, Friday for the open at Doane University. Hunter has plans to prepare the team for the open.

“We have a lot of stuff we need to work on, our effort and taking better care of our weight,” Hunter said. “Our focus this week is taking care of our weight and getting better in all aspects of wrestling.”

With festive activities - like cookie and stocking decorating, present wrapping, pin the nose on Rudolph and Don’t Forget the Lyrics Christmas Edition - students were given a chance to unwind before finals.

“It’s just a fun time for people to come out, take a break and have something to do during the day,” RA Emily Still, 22, senior of Scottsbluff, said.

Still’s favorite activity was decorating a stocking.

Still said they were planning a Christmas theme program and it eventually “exploded” into a four hour program lots of crafts and holiday themed treats. RLA provided students with eggnog, apple cider, cookies and various teas.

About 80 students were expected participate in the program Cooper said. The final count was 84 students.

Everyone who participated in the program was entered to win a prize. Each prize sat under a Christmas tree and was wrapped like a gift. Students chose a gift without knowing what the prize actually was.

The Christmas Extravaganza also had its own Santa Claus, played by RA Devin Fulton, 21, sophomore of Glenrock, Wyoming.

“I love Christmas,” said Fulton. “I just wanted to do what I could to use my personality as a platform to bring joy to the CSC students”

CAB teamed up with RLA and The Pit to bring big prizes and fun at Casino Night, Friday at the Student Center.

Former Chair of CAB, Trista Schell, 23, senior of Rapid City, South Dakota, said that CAB set a date for Casino Night at the beginning of the semester. They started officially planning the event about a month ago.

CAB planned for 200

people to attend, but only 120 students showed.

“It was a little less than we were expecting, but still really successful,” Schell said.

Texas Hold ‘em, roulette, blackjack and craps tables were set up throughout The Pit and the Student Center, along with shrimp cocktail, dessert and mocktails.

Schell said, “Walking into The Pit was like walking into a real casino. People were standing chest to back and shoulder to shoulder reaching in to get into these tables. It was really cool to see.”

Whether they participated in the games or came to watch, students had chances to win big prizes. Over 100 prizes were given out, especially large prizes. The large prizes included a futon, a flat-screen TV, a camera, a computer, a playstation, a minifridge, tablets, and Beats headphones.

“I was definitely most excited to see everyone’s expressions when their names got called for prizes,” current Chair of CAB Kimberly Hernandez, 21, junior of Scottsbluff, said.

Sato captivates audiences during her last recital Yen Nguyen Reporter

A senior of the music department performed her last recital at CSC Friday at Memorial Hall auditorium.

Natsuki Sato, 22, senior of Oita-shi, Japan, opened the night with a Prelude and Fugue for piano by Johann Sebastian Bach.

She offered audiences diverse music melody from famous pianists and composers.

The second piece was Piano Sonata No. 8, Op. 13, “Grande Sonate Pathétique,” by Ludwig van Beethoven, including three movements with different atmospheres.

“For all three of these movements, Beethoven plays with our emotions in a good way,” Sato said. “Devastating phrases are followed by joyful, hopeful ones. And then

all of a sudden, the music is in an infuriated tone.”

After the intermission, Sato performed Consolation No. 3 by Franz Liszt, Suite for Piano, Op. 14, by Béla Bartók, and Bagatelle, Op. 59, No. 9, by Nicolai Kapustin.

“Her performance was amazing. She played really well,” Kallie Bush, 20, junior of Kimball, said.

Sato impressed audiences with her skillful technique.

“It’s the result of years and years of her practice. She really excels at the performance today,” Brook Hafey, assistant professor of music, said. He’s also Sato’s instructor in piano studio class.

Sato said she prepared for this since August and was very nervous for the recital.

“Sugar!” Sato said when she was asked how to stay calm and confident during the show.

Seniors present their final show with “Happy Accidents and Oddities”

“Duh, me” is an oil painting

by Rebecca Barger, senior of Atkinson.

The piece is on display in the “Happy Accidents and Oddities” senior art show in the Main Gallery of Memorial Hall.

Krystal Wilson News Editor Friday’s senior art show reception drew a crowd of about 60 people who filtered through the main gallery in Memorial Hall, as the three showcased sePhoto by Krystal Wilson nior artists answered questions about their works.

The senior thesis show “Happy Accidents and Oddities” featured the work of seniors Tory Snyder, 22, of Pierre, South Dakota, Brooke Nelson, 23, of Philip, South Dakota, and Rebecca Barger, 21, of Atkinson.

The show’s title allowed for a large range of eclectic features.

The artists displayed many different subjects, themes and mediums in the show that all flow together well in the gallery. While the show includes traditional pieces like still-life drawings and pottery, there is an underlying focus on ranch life that runs throughout the collection.

Each of the artists have works that reflect the landscapes, animals and activities associated with life on the ranch.

“There are a multitude of ranch photos in my repertoire, as this is our family business,” Barger said. “It has brought my family much closer together in the last four years and I felt the need to capture it.”

Samantha Christensen, of Edgemont, South Dakota, came out to support her cousin, Nelson.

Christensen said that Nelson’s oil painting, “Night Ride”, was her favorite of Nelson’s works in the gallery.

“It brings back memories of when

we were little,” Christensen said. “She captures the magical feeling of being on the plains at night.”

Almost everyone who walked through the door of the gallery was immediately taken in by Nelson’s giant cardboard sculpture of a unicorn head staring them in the face. The sculpture is titled “Unicorn Come to Life”, and contains intricate details, all crafted out of cardboard.

“Some of the things that turned out the best were accidents” Nelson said.

Snyder’s art included work in five different mediums: watercolor, oil paint, photography, glass and ceramics.

“Identity finds its way into my pieces from parts of my physical appearance such as my long hair to other characteristics such as my love of nature, history and animals,” Snyder stated.

A mix of friends, family, students and faculty attended last Friday’s reception. The artists received interest in several of their pieces. Four items from the showcase have been sold so far.

“All the girls are very talented artists,” friends Sydni Stevens, 21, junior of Ogllala, and Emily Johnson, 21, of Mead, Colorado said. “They all have a unique sense of style.”

Both Barger and Snyder will be student teaching next semester. Barger will be student teaching for art in Pierre, South Dakota. Snyder has not yet been placed with a school, but said she was eager to find out where she would be going soon.

Nelson is graduating this December and has plans to return home to work on her family ranch in Philip, South Dakota. She said she hoped to use her degree in Graphic Design to do some side work for a publication company in Philip, South Dakota.

This mixed media sculpture by senior artist Tory Snyder of Pierre, South Dakota, is titled, “Life if Quotes”. The piece is on display in the “Happy Accidents and Oddities” senior art show in the Main Gallery of Memorial Hall.
