Senate amends by-law revision, tables fee discussion Shannon Schneider Managing Editor After a lengthy back-and-forth discussion, Senate voted to amend last week’s by-law revision and tabled talks regarding student fee increases. The by-law revision, which was presented during last Monday’s meeting, outlined the student fee split between the NPAC and Student Senate. It read as follows: “Every student will pay student activity fees. The student activity fee is currently split 36 percent going to the NPAC for the use of facilities, equipment, intramurals and activities and 64 percent will go to Senate for student activities. Effective 7/1/2019, the student activity fee will be split 37.5 percent going to NPAC for the use of facilities, equipment, intramurals and activities, and 62.5 percent will go to Senate for student activities.” Currently, all student fees get funneled to two accounts: the NPAC and Student Senate. As the by-law states, the fees are currently split 36/64, with 36 percent going to the NPAC and 64 percent going to Student Senate. With the current $7 per credit hour, the NPAC gets $2.50 of every $7 with the remaining $4.50 going to Senate. The proposed fee increase would bump student activity fees to $8 an hour.

Though the above by-law was the proposed revision, Senate voted to cut the revision at the second sentence. The new by-law now reads as follows: “Every student will pay student activity fees. The student activity fee is currently split 36 percent going to the NPAC for the use of facilities, equipment, intramurals and activities and 64 percent will go to Senate for student activities.” The vote to approve the amended by-law came after senators agreed to push back decisions on student fee changes. According to Senator Kristina McGann, senior of Broken Bow, voting on the latter half of the proposed by-law would be “moot” without an agreement on student fee adjustments. “The reason why we were doing this (changing the fee percentages), if I understand correctly, was so that it would be a $3/$5 split, and that would be reliant on us changing it. So, I honestly don’t think you could do it unless we voted on the other part first, and implement this, because it wouldn’t be doing its purpose,” McGann said. When it comes to the students’ perspective, Senator Isioma Akwanamnye, freshman of Lagos, Nigeria, said her constituents are primarily concerned with how the decisions will affect their out-of-pocket costs. “That’s the only question everybody wants to know: ‘How does

this affect the money coming out of my pocket?’,” Awkwanamnye said. “Does this increase the money coming out of my pocket, does this take out the money?’’ Students with questions about fee increases are encouraged to talk with a senator for more information. Jennifer Campos, sophomore of Alliance, was sworn in as senator-at-large. Campos, an accounting major, said she wanted to join Senate to “be a part of something bigger” on campus. Senate allocated a total of $1,075.40 for graduation stoles, senator’s jackets and a “Coffee with Senators” event. AFB’s recommendation of $328 was unanimously approved to purchase personalized stoles for 10 graduating student government members. $700 was also allocated for 11 senator’s jackets. The remaining $47.40 will go toward a “Coffee with Senators” event tentatively scheduled during AFB’s budget workshop tonight. The event will include coffee, hot cocoa and assorted treats. AFB will be hosting a budget workshop from 5-7 p.m. tonight in the Lakota/Bordeaux room. Clubs must have at least one executive member attending the mandatory workshop. Senator Aaron Wood, junior of Mineral Wells, Texas, announced Spring Days and the Nearly Naked Mile will be held April 25-28. The event’s theme is “Coachella”. Senate currently has $14,399.79 in unallocated funds.

AFB budget workshop scheduled for tonight Devin Fulton Reporter CAB is hosting a budget packet training session from 5-7 p.m. tonight, in the Lakota/Bordeaux Room in the Student Center. The event is mandatory for at least one executive board member of each club, but advisors are encouraged to attend. Packets are due March 1 and budget hearings will take place March 11-15.

Bright Side

Keep your family in the loop

Rachel Mitchell Contributor People always tell you that college is going to be the time of your life. You join clubs, meet new people, find hobbies and just get the chance to experience adulthood. You get to grow as a person and start to make your own way in life. You are busy doing all these things that are going to help build your future. But what people don’t tell you is how it affects the people you are leaving behind. Most of the time we think about how we are going to leave our family and be homesick, but your family is also going to miss you. The may not say it out loud because they don’t want you to feel bad or they don’t want to admit it themselves that you are going away. Not everyone has the same family dynamics and that is okay. But there is always someone rooting for you. Whether it’s your grandparents, an aunt, or people who are like your second family, there

is someone in your corner who thinks about you. I know my parents worry about me, but sometimes I get so caught up in my busy schedule I do not call or even text. Sometimes I step back and wonder how often my parents are worried about me. Are they hoping I’m doing okay if I haven’t called in a while? I would like to encourage everyone this week to set aside some time to call home. No matter who comes to mind, pencil it into your agenda to call them

MAN ON THE STREET

we asked:

or put a sticky note in a visible place to remind you to do it. So many times we are caught up in school, practice, work, clubs and just trying to get through the day we forget to check in with the people who want to see us succeed. The least that you can do is set aside 10 or 15 minutes to fill them in on the things going on in your life or how classes are going. Just catch up with them. We may not realize it but our parents and family probably worry about us way more than we think. Not only do our parents or siblings want to hear our voice but they might be able to help you through anything you’re going through. Maybe you are stressed out about a test and they give you support and advice that help you get through it. This might sound simple, and that should make it that much easier, but it’s good to let family know you’re doing okay. Even if you don’t have much to talk about I’m sure your family would be relieved to know you are doing fine.

Eagle men split final home games Brandon Davenport and Devin Fulton Sports Editor and Reporter The Eagles men’s basketball team went 1-1 in its final home games of the season this weekend, earning a 69-65 win against South Dakota School of Mines, Friday, and a 77-71 loss to Black Hills State University, Saturday. A record-breaking Chicoine Center crowd of 1,013 watched the fast-paced, back-and-forth game, Saturday, as the Eagles battled BHSU. It was the fourth consecutive home game where the attendance record has been broken. Both offenses shot well through the first half and neither team managed a big lead. Following a 34-34 tie at the half, the Eagles grabbed a seven-point advantage near the 11-minute mark of the second, but a pair of unanswered 3-pointers, first from Yellowjacket Stefan Desnica, then from Dez Stoudamire about a minute later, brought the deficit to just one point, 48-47. Shortly thereafter, fouls by CSC’s Charles Gavin and Jaisean Jackson sent Stoudamire to the free throw line twice. Stoudamire, who is averaging .724 from the line, hit four of five attempts to put the Yellowjackets up 51-48. A 3-point shot from the Eagles’ Colby Jackson would tie the game 51-51, but the Eagles would never regain the lead. “I think it came down to makes-and-misses,” CSC Head Coach Houston Reed said. “We had that stretch when we lost that lead where we had good scoring opportunities that we made throughout the game, and that we’ve made throughout the season, that we just did not convert,” Reed said. Reed said another contribution to the loss was giving up timely offensive rebounds on the defensive end. From the moment CSC tied the game at 51, the Yellowjackets out-rebounded the Eagles 9-4. 6-foot-11 BHSU center Antonio Capley had four of those rebounds, three on offense. Capley played just 15 minutes in the game but produced eight points and 10 rebounds. “I remember (Capley) from high school,” Reed said. “(Capley) is a big body and you better put a body on him and box him out. We got caught in some rotations where we didn’t go find him and get him boxed out.” The Eagles did well to limit the Yellowjackets’ best scorers through the first half. 6-foot-6 senior forward Malcom Fraser, of Falkirk, Scotland, who averages a team-high 16 points-per-game, scored just three points in the first and none in the second, though an apparent knee injury took

him from the game with about 16 minutes remaining. Chadron also kept the team’s second-best scorer, Stoudamire, relatively quiet in the first half, but he found his scoring touch in the second half and lead all scorers with 23 points in the game. “If you look at some of the shots Stoudamire made tonight, he made some big shots; he made some tough shots. We forced him into that. Watching film we knew dang-good-and-well that he can make those kinds of shots and if he was going to score, those were the shots we wanted him to make,” Reed said. Despite the absence of big point numbers from Fraser, Yellowjacket Desnica hit the 20-point mark, with Tyler Oliver hitting 14. The Eagles shot 56.5 percent in the first quarter, but dipped to 38.9 percent in the second. Diontae Champion, senior of Pearl, Mississippi, led the team with 21 points. Colby Jackson had 17, Jeremy Ruffin had 11 and Jaisean Jackson had 10. Friday the Eagles were behind 40-28 at halftime, but rallied in the second quarter. A layup by Jaisean Jackson put the team up 50-49 with about seven minutes remaining and the Eagles held on to the lead from there, breaking their previous five-game losing streak. The Eagles were led by junior Michael Sparks, of Denver, with 18 points. No other Eagle hit double-digits, but all but two players on the roster scored in the game. Seven players had five or more points, including Sparks. CSC shot 40 percent in the first half, but followed with a 60 percent shooting average in the second. The Eagles have three remaining games this season, all on the road. They remain in the mix for the RMAC Shootout following the regular season. To make it Chadron will need to be in the top eight of the conference. Currently the team sits ninth behind Adams State. Friday, the Eagles travel to Colorado to play CSU Pueblo, currently ranked 15th in the RMAC with a 4-15 record. Saturday, they visit Las Vegas, New Mexico, to face New Mexico Highlands, who sit seventh with an 11-8 record.

Eagle women 0-2 in final home games CSC Sports Information

Black Hills State made six three-pointers in the first quarter and five different players scored in double figures as they defeated Chadron State 85-57 Saturday night. The Eagles also suffered a 64-52 loss to South Dakota Mines, Friday. Three Eagle seniors, Mickenzie Brennan, of Ellsworth, Rebecca Stevenson, of Lacey, Washington, and Savannah Weidauer, of Pleasant Grove, Utah, were honored after the conclusion of the game Saturday’s game, the Eagles final home game of the season. “All of our seniors are great people with high character,” CSC Head Coach Raymer said. “It was an honor to coach them and I’m going to miss them.” Chadron State led 10-9 in the first quarter before the Yellow Jackets made three straight 3-pointers and took the lead, two being by Julia Seamans, a senior of Gillette, Wyoming. Seamans finished with 11 points in the quarter. Black Hills finished 25 of 60 from the field for 42 percent and made 12 of 28 shots from behind the arc for 43 percent. CSC shot 22 of 56 for 39 percent and made 12 of its 18 free throws. The Yellow Jackets finished 23 of 31 from the charity stripe, for 74 percent.

The Eagles out-rebounded Black Hills 39 to 35 but committed eight more turnovers with 24, which were turned into 38 Yellow Jacket points. Three players scored in double-digits for Chadron State. Sophomores Taryn Foxen, of Aurora, Colorado, and Jessica Harvey, of Morrill, led the team with 16 and 13 points respectively. Weidauer had a season-high 12 points and Foxen led with seven rebounds. Racquel Wientjes, a senior of Onida, South Dakota, led Black Hills with 19 points. Seamans finished with 15, Morgan Ham, sophomore of Shadehill, South Dakota, scored 13 and Alyssia Martinez, sophomore of Highlands Ranch, Colorado, and Morgan Koepsell, freshman of Canova, South Dakota, each had 11. Chadron State falls to 4-21 on the year and 3-16 in the RMAC. The Yellow Jackets improve to 14-9 and 10-9 in the conference. Friday, Sami Steffeck, junior of Fort Collins, Colorado, scored 21 points and Anna Haugen, a sophomore, also from Fort Collins, had 16 points and 14 rebounds as the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology Hardrockers defeated the Chadron State women’s basketball team 64-52. “Haugen is quick, very aggressive and kept beating us to the hole. We had a hard time with her both nights we played them,” Raymer said. The Hardrockers shot 50 percent in the sec-

ond half and 44 percent for the game in the victory. Chadron State finished 22 of 58 from the field, for 38 percent. “We didn’t finish well tonight,” Head Coach Janet Raymer said. “We shot poorly and didn’t move the ball like we wanted to.” Chadron State scored the first two points of the game on a pair of free throws by Haley Urbatsch, junior of Gillette, Wyoming, but a three-pointer by Steffeck gave Mines the lead for good. The Eagles recorded one more rebound than the Hardrockers, with 33, and had one more turnover with 21. Chadron State committed 22 fouls compared to nine by Mines. South Dakota Mines finished 12-15 from the charity stripe, while the Eagles made five of seven attempts. Both teams scored 15 points off turnovers. Jori Peters, freshman of Mitchell, led CSC with 10 points and five assists and only one turnover. Angelique Gall, freshman of Fruita, Colorado, had a team-high seven rebounds. Steffeck shot 8-12 from the field, five being from three-point land. As a team, the Hardrockers had five assists. The Eagles return to action as they travel to Pueblo, Colorado, to face the Thunderwolves on Friday.

Underclassmen rank high at Stinger Open Shannon Schneider Managing Editor Freshman and sophomore Eagles earned high marks last Saturday at Black Hills State University’s Stinger Open in Spearfish, South Dakota. Though not all CSC track and field athletes competed, the meet provided one more opportunity for some to improve their marks before the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Indoor Championships in Alamosa, Colorado, this week. Head Coach Riley Northrup said that though the team is young, around six of the 20 athletes heading to RMAC Championships this week are freshmen, which makes up “a pretty good portion” of the qualifying team. According to Northrup, these numbers bode well for the team’s future. “The bulk of our team is young, so for the future that’s a good sign as long as we can be patient and let them develop,” Northrup said. Junior thrower Ashton Hallsted came back from last

week’s performance, where she fouled on three attempts, to take first in the women’s weight throw. Northrup said it’s in the details when it comes to fouling a throw and making a mark. “Basically, it’s a small detail that goes from three-fouling to having a good mark,” Northrup said. “So for her it was a more relaxed competition, in terms of SDSU versus Black Hills, so she knew all she had to do was get a mark and that

would get her three more throws and then she could push the envelope and get that further mark.” Northrup predicts Hallsted will find success at RMAC Championships this weekend, stating she has a “pretty hefty lead” on the next closest competitor. “I 100 percent foresee her doing well this weekend,” Northrup said. In Spearfish, leading the men’s triple jump was freshman Joss Linse, of Omaha, with a first-place mark of 44 feet, 10 ½ inches. Teammate Brock Voth, freshman of Berthoud, Colorado, took second with 43 feet, 6 ½ inches. In the men’s 400 meter race, Brodie Rhoden, freshman of Riverton, Wyoming, earned third with a time of 51.54 seconds, while sophomore Celeste Cordona, of Mitchell, earned third in the women’s 400 with 1:00.97. Kiya Passero, freshman of Chadron, took fifth with a time of 5:31.34 in the women’s mile. The Eagles traveled to Alamosa, yesterday, for this weekend’s RMAC Championships at Adams State University. Team members will compete tomorrow.

CSC students draw onto a puzzle using markers during RLA’s We Are CSC: A Puzzle Piece Program, Tuesday, in the Hub.

Students were able to spend their Tuesday night in the Hub with their friends while meeting new people at RLA’s event, “We Are CSC: A Puzzle Piece Program.” Students drew onto 126 puzzle pieces creating the 23.5” x 60” puzzle. The students assembled the puzzle pieces and hung the completed puzzle on the wall in the Hub. Chips and salsa were provided for students to snack on while decorating their puzzle pieces. “I thought it would be nice for students to see that we actually do fun things,” said Cheyenne Ryan, sophomore of Glendrive, Montana, the RA who headed the event. “I think it’s a great way to express your creativity, have a relaxing night and form community as we put the puzzle pieces together,” said Christopher Wright, junior of Gering. RLA will be celebrating Mardi Gras at 7 p.m., tomorrow. Students can go to the Hub for beads, masks, games, prizes and cupcakes.

Despite the snow and cold, students flocked to “Beach Please,” a summer themed event in the Hub, Friday. Over 30 students participated in a beach themed party which included sand, little umbrellas in drinks and volleyball. The beach party wrapped up the “I hate winter week” which had events throughout the week. Participants were handed leis and raffle tickets at the door. Resident advisers made non-alcoholic drinks at the mocktail bar. Vials and colorful sand were provided so students could make mementos, and a sand pit was filled with kinetic sand for sand castles. RLA put on the event to encourage students that summer is coming soon according to Mariah Nelson, Assistant Director of Residence Life. “We tried this event last year and it went pretty well. We are trying to get it to catch on so we will see about next year,” Nelson said about the “I Hate Winter Week.” RLA will be holding a Mardi Gras party at 7 p.m. tomorrow in the Hub. Cupcakes, punch and prizes will be available for students who participate.

“Dine With Us” offers taste of Ghanaian culture Yen Nguyen Reporter Chadron State College International Office hosted international luncheon “Dine With Us” featuring Nicole Lartey, 25, senior of Accra, Ghana, in the Scottsbluff Room, Tuesday. The event drew attention of students, faculty, staff and community members. During the luncheon Lartey presented her country, Ghana, to the audiences, including the politics, economics, education system, local dishes and cultural significances in her country. “The presentation was quite educative, fascinating and worth the time,” said Chinaza Nwosa, 20, senior of Lagos, Nigeria. Among the topics, Lartey said her favorite part was talking about customary day-born names because she could go in-depth about the real and true meaning of her culture. “I felt excited. It was my first time elaborating more on my country and its culture,” Lartey said. The luncheon also featured “Jollof rice,” a Ghanaian dish. “The food was alright but they could have done better,” said Lartey. Lartey said she will make Bofrot, which is a Ghanaian mini doughnut, in the upcoming Food Tasting Party hosted by International Club. The event will be held at 5 p.m. this Saturday in Student Center Ballroom.
