Band, Choir in murky waters post-budget recommendation Shannon Schneider Managing Editor While Senate unanimously approved AFB’s recommended $103,079.98 for 2019-2020 club budgets, Band and Choir have yet to reach a recommendation agreement, leaving the clubs in limbo regarding their budgets. The conflict comes in the wake of talks over NSCS Board Policy 4050, which states, “Academic and professional organizations shall not receive funding from student activity fees and shall not maintain separate accounts. All funding in support of an academic and professional organization shall be accounted for within the College’s regular operating budget.” Because both Band and Choir require participants to enroll in classes, even if they are for no credit, and because community and non-majors can participate too, a debate has been sparked whether the clubs are student or academic organizations. According to Vice President of Enrollment, Marketing and Student Services and adviser Jon Hansen, the question is not whether the clubs are recognized organizations but whether AFB wishes to fund them accordingly. “You have to consider that they have a constitution, they went through the CAB process to become a student org(aniza-
tion), and I signed off on that. They have officers, they have all their stuff. The real thing you have to decide is whether or not you want to fund what they’re asking for,” Hansen said. The budget requests, which total $4,360 for Band and $2,150 for Choir, will cover sheet music costs. Though the resolution is unclear at this point, Hansen remains hopeful that an agreement will be reached. “I think we can work this out. I don’t think it has to be ‘No, we’re not doing anything,’ but instead resolving what the relationship is and saying to the student organization ‘Okay, we recognize you’re a student organization, but it (money) is for this,” Hansen said. Vice Chair of Finance Lily Umeta, sophomore of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, clarified that the lack of budget numbers doesn’t mean zero funding for the clubs. “We’re still discussing this with the deans, so we’re not saying ‘No, we’re not funding anything.’ We just want to discuss and get more information, because people in the music department are also students, so we need to support them,” Umeta said. “We’re just trying to look at different ways to understand their point of view.” Chief Justice Samantha Merrill, senior of Oral, South Dakota, announced that Senate elections are open through tomor-
row at noon. Ballots have been sent via email, but if questions arise contact Merrill. Because of the time constraints of the Court regarding candidacy checks, candidates may have to wait to be sworn in. “They (candidates) won’t be sworn in until we make sure all of their qualifications are met,” Merrill said. “They’ll still run, elections will still happen, but they just won’t get sworn in until after we make sure that they meet everything they need to meet.” Senators continued the conversation on concert planning, discussing polling techniques to find out what students’ top picks are. Senator Cody Cooper, graduate student of Gothenburg, recommended using a ranking system to rein in student opinions and finalize a list. “I think that we should try to get some sort of a ranking as far as who we want, a preferential list,” Cooper said. Potential options include country, hip hop and pop artists, but senators have decided on a spring date with the Chicoine Center as a venue. Students can vote on their genre of choice in the election ballots. Senate unanimously approved $400 toward prizes for the Student Appreciation BBQ and dance on April 26. Senate currently has $7,431.91 in unallocated funds.

Amid weather worries, The Big Event perseveres Shannon Schneider Managing Editor Whether there’s a foot of snow or an abundance of sunshine, The Big Event will give back to the community, communications professor and The Big Event adviser Shaunda French-Collins says. In the midst of dismal weather predictions, The Big Event staff has been working on job site back-ups in case heavy snowfall occurs. For some this could simply mean getting moved indoors, but other locations could see bigger changes. According to French-Collins, weather threats are no strangers to The Big Event staff. “Threats are external circumstances, and sadly the one we always have every year is weather,” French-Collins said. Fortunately, several job sites are located indoors. Though liability restrictions limit Big Event volunteers from work-
“
We’re going to give back, but it may just not be what we originally had in mind. ” – Dr. Shaunda French-Collins
ing inside private residences, public locations can be expanded and more volunteers can be sent to those sites. “We can send more people to, say, the Friends of Pets job site or Consuming Fire School of Dance and Gymnastics,” French-Collins said. For the largest job site, CSC’s football team, March’s storm wrecked wood chip delivery plans at Wilson Park, leading to a last-minute cancellation Tuesday morning. However, in less than an hour, Football Head Coach Jay Long, Associate Athletic Director Chris Green and
35 honored at Rising Sophomore Awards Devin Fulton Reporter Thirty-five freshmen were recognized for their diligence and hard work at the Rising Sophomore Awards Ceremony, Friday, April 5, in the Student Center Ballroom. Estabon Bozemon, freshman of Inglewood, California, received the James H. Powell Jr. Academic Achievement Award, which is given to students who demonstrate excellence inside the classroom and participate in the Transitional Studies Program. The award also includes a $500 scholarship for the upcoming semester. “I’m happy my hard work didn’t go unnoticed. I’m going to continue to work hard. I wasn’t working hard for the award; I was doing it for myself,” Bozeman said. “At times you do want to quit, but it’s stuff like this that makes you want to keep going. The marathon continues.” Celeste Cardona, sophomore of Mitchell and 2017-18 recipient of the Young Eagle Award, passed off the torch to freshman Tyreek Bryant,
of Denver. The award is presented to students who make a positive, daily impact at CSC. Associate Athletic Director Christopher Green, of Chadron, presented the Student-Athlete Award to freshman Alpine Hickstein, of Chadron. The award recognizes Hickstein’s work inside the classroom to go along with her play on CSC’s golf team. Awards recognizing the academic efforts of students went to Kylie Peters, of Rushville, and Juan Estrada, of Denver, for the Academic Grit Award. Both students received the award for showing their mental toughness while improving in their freshman year. Other awards included the Community Engagement Award, Student Peer-Leader of the Year, Artist of the Year, Unsung Hero, Working Eagle, Residence Hall Citizen of the Year, First Generation Eagle, Excellence in the Advancement of Social Justice, Diversity in Thought and Experience and Student Leader of the Year. 21 students received Outstanding Academic awards in field such as Education, Psychological Sciences and Communications.
French-Collins brainstormed a plan to send the team to all five city parks and pick up debris from this week’s storm. City of Chadron Park Superintendent Scott Schremmer gave the ok, securing the football team’s job site with the City Parks Department another year. “For the (Chadron) City Parks Department, it’s a blessing,” Schremmer said. To French-Collins, the duo’s quick thinking showed commitment to The Big Event’s mission. “What’s awesome is that people say ‘We’re going to give back, but it may just not be what we originally had in mind,’” French-Collins said. As Big Event staff placed students at job sites Tuesday evening, French-Collins asked for volunteers to be “patient and flexible” when it comes to placements. “At the end of the day, there are ways for us to give back and say thank you to Chadron,” French-Collins said. “It may just not be the jobsite that you get emailed.”

Women fuse intuition and action at Basic Primal Self Defense Shannon Schneider Managing Editor Seventeen CSC women are prepared to defend themselves from verbal and physical threats after Basic Women’s Primal Self Defense class, Saturday, in the Student Center Scottsbluff Room. The four-hour class, sponsored by Cardinal Key and Xi Delta Zeta, featured instructors Shawn Whittington and Jessi Lee of 88 Tactical in Omaha, an organization that features instruction in everything from self-defense and anti-bullying to bushcraft and survival. Students were introduced to verbal and physical self defense techniques in three modules, beginning first with verbal approaches to handle and de-escalate threatening situations. Col. Jeff Cooper’s Awareness Color Code Chart, which begins at zero-awareness level white and escalates to decisive action red, was taught alongside the techniques to gauge the danger of situations. Combined with intuition, the three can make for a solid defense. “Anytime that inner alarm that you all have goes off, you have to listen to it,” Whittington said. “Anytime you feel uncomfortable about any situation or interaction, number one, give yourself permission to listen to it. Number two, evaluate what’s going on. If you need to
do something about it, give yourself permission to do that.” Whittington and Lee also dispelled common self-defense myths and mistakes, emphasizing that a cell phone won’t save your life when it comes down to life and death situations. Roleplay proved a crucial part to the class, giving students the chance to practice their newly-taught skills in real-life scenarios. From dealing with a verbal confrontation or defending against a violent attack, students were exposed to a range of situations they could encounter in the future. “If you treat what we’re doing in this room as if it were real, even though it’s not, your brain doesn’t know the difference,” Whittington said. “You’re going to walk out of here having had some real experiences with aggression and violence that if you were involved in a similar situation you’ll have experience to draw upon.” For some, the class came at a perfect time and gave them the confidence to handle future situations the safest way. “I’ve had recent experiences that made me very aware of how vulnerable I was,” Ashten Gerbing, junior of Hot Springs, South Dakota, said. “The universe dropped this class on me by email and I was like, ‘Thank you, universe!’ This is something I can use to not be in that position again.”

An expectant crowd waited in Memorial Hall’s lobby for the door to open for the Wind Symphony and Community Symphonic Band concert Tuesday evening. Over a hundred students, faculty and community members gathered to listen to pieces ranging from the broad, sweeping notes of “A Kind and Gentle Soul” by James Swearingen to the rhythmic “Night on Fire” by John Mackey. The band, formed by Carola and Bill Winkle as the Bordeaux Band, has delighted audiences for 25 years. Two longtime members, Barbara McCartney and Julie Duncan, were honored for serving with the band since its inception. Although Carola and Bill Winkle were unable to attend the concert Tuesday, a larger anniversary commemoration at the November concert is planned. Dr. John Wojcik directed the concert, beginning with the booming notes of “Festa” by Elliot Del Borgo. After an intermission, the Wind Symphony held the stage, speeding to a close with “The Circus Bee” by Henry Filmore. The Wind Symphony and Community Symphonic Band came together for the final song “Bravo” by Robert E. Foster, a swift and flowing song that highlighted different sections of the band before coming together in booming end notes. The band meets Tuesdays 7-8:30 p.m. during the school year and is always ready to welcome new students and community members. Saturday at 3 p.m. Allen Kissack’s senior trombone recital will take place at the Mari Sandoz Center Chicoine Atrium. At 7 p.m. that evening, Bryony Trump will perform her senior clarinet recital, also in the Chicoine Atrium.

On the winds of spring come change. For some, it is simply the changing of the seasons and the end of a semester, but for those of us who are graduating and joining the workforce, spring is brings the start of a new chapter. Whether you already have a job lined up or are in the process of filling out dozens of job applications, change is coming. For the first time in our lives, we won’t be students. We won’t have classrooms filled with our peers or weekly activities to participate in. As we move to different cities to find work, we will have to make new friends, new connections and there certainly won’t be optional attendance policies. We might have to rediscover ourselves as we begin the rest of our lives. Some will be getting their first full-time job and will have to adjust to working 40 plus hours weekly, others will welcome the change of being able to focus solely on one job, and not homework. As spring buds bloom and the world around us becomes green, take a moment to appreciate just how beautiful change can be. The thought of moving into official “adulthood” territory is both daunting and exciting. I am still reminded that our lives, like the seasons, never stay the same for long. Some
years are like winter; cold, dark and make us long for spring’s warmth. Some years feel like summer; color and warmth surrounds us so frequently we forget how lucky we are until the first signs of winter are upon our door. Though winter will never possess the vibrant colors of autumn nor the warmth of summer, the key to happiness is learning to find beauty in every season. Whether you are living paycheck to paycheck in a dumpy apartment or working your dream job and can afford anything you desire, happiness is found within ourselves. Valuing each season as they come, being generous and kind to those around us and embracing change as it comes, is how we thrive in any situation. Even though some seasons will bring bitter pain and disappointment, remember that the beauty of spring would not be so pleasant if had we never known winter. We have limited control over what happens to us, but full control over our attitude. So, when its time to move on, hold your head high as you courageously greet whatever season is next for you.

“Highwaymen” shows flip side of American crime Shannon Schnieder Managing Editor Viewers both young and old can find common ground in Netflix’s original movie “The Highwaymen”, a drama that follows ex-Texas Rangers Frank Hamer and Maney Gault in their mission to take down the legendary Bonnie and Clyde. As soon as we hit the opening scene, we know trouble is afoot. Outlaws Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow pull off a classic prison break, releasing a few of their friends and leaving behind a blood trail in the process. Texas Gov. Miriam “Ma” Ferguson, played by Kathy Bates, is eager to stop the two and enlists former Texas Rangers Hamer and Gault after being persuaded by Department of Corrections Chief Lee Simmons, played by John Carroll Lynch. This is where Woody Harrelson, who plays Gault, and Kevin Costner, who plays Hamer, come in.
On the
Bright Side
Harrelson plays a slightly-dopey but committed Gault, a good counter to Costner’s all-business Hamer. As the two follow Bonnie and Clyde through state lines and crime scenes, they find out just how important it is to catch the duo. The tension between them and the FBI is thick, but in the end they want the same thing: for Bonnie and Clyde to be put down. I’m a fan of crime dramas and an even bigger fan of historical fiction, so “Highwaymen” fits right into my niche. It also
helped that big-name stars like Costner, Harrelson and national treasure Bates were included. Though it may not seem like a big deal, the best part of “Highwaymen” was that its focus remained on Hamer and Gault and didn’t get lost in the glamor of Bonnie and Clyde. If there was anything troubling about the film, it was the attention it drew to America’s unhealthy fixation with Bonnie and Clyde. The two were worshiped in both the papers and the streets; in one scene, Gault closes in on what he believes is Bonnie and Clyde, but before he can make a move their car is surrounded by a flock of gawking and cheering civilians eager for a peek at the celebrity gangsters. The scene was crucial because it showed how celebrated the two were when, in reality, they were rotten-to-the-core robbers and murderers. If you’re seeking an intriguing history lesson, “Highwaymen” is for you. Even if you’re not, I recommend giving it a try. America’s unsung heroes often stay in the shadows, but this is the rare opportunity they come to light.
The shocking statistics about sexual assault
Rachel Mitchell Contributor
Over the last week I came across a really disturbing article with a shocking statistic. According to rainn.org, at least 1 in 6 women are sexually assaulted in their first year of college. If you are not repulsed by that, please reread that sentence once more. This number is really high. So, why aren’t colleges campuses talking about it and putting more resources out there for victims? Well, many of them are still trying to figure out what the cause is. Many cases confirm that alcohol was present but I want to make it very clear; that is not an excuse. This is not the only factor though. It does vary with region and so many other things. Another shocking number from the same site is that only 20 percent of female students who are sexu-
ally assaulted report the incident to law enforcement. That means 80 percent of students who experience sexual violence do not report it. That is incredibly depressing, to think the majority of female victims feel they cannot share what happened to them. Reasons vary from believing it was a personal manner, that it wasn’t important enough to report. Some didn’t want to get the perpetrator in trouble. These reasons are valid but we need to end the stigma around reporting it
so we can help these women out. There is an enormous shame around reporting rape and sexual assault. People keep it on the down-low because it makes some people uncomfortable, but the fact that it is happening and as often as it is, we need to end the stigma and give the victims support. We have to be okay with making people uncomfortable to help those people who actually need help. Sexual assault doesn’t just stop. Just because you don’t hear about it does not mean it doesn’t happen. Just because there aren’t immediate resources does not mean there aren’t people who care. I believe there should be a women’s center on campus. I know that there are a few resources in town but I truly believe that we as a college campus need to help people out. It is really hard to hear these statistics and not want to do something. We need to have more resources readily available on campus for sexual assault victims.

g out the tands CSC Rodeo trio wins in Fort Collins ahead of last rodeos of the spring season Brandon Davenport Sports Editor A first-place finish in Fort Collins helped CSC cowboy Miles Englebert, of Burdock, South Dakota, solidify his place among the region’s top collegiate bull riders, and two CSC teammates, Kalane Anders, of Bayard, and Quincy Segelke, of Snyder, Colorado, joined Englebert as winners of their events. Englebert used a first-place performance to put distance between himself and Central Rocky Mountain Region’s fourth-ranked bull rider Kenneth Thomson of Casper College. Englebert, who sits in the final spot to qualify for the National Finals Rodeo in June, now has a 360 point lead over Thomson with two rodeos remaining in the season. The win also moves him within 20 points of second-ranked bull rider Nate Hoey of Lamar Community College. “It was a good one for me,” Englebert said of the win. “I haven’t had much luck the last two years I’ve been to Fort Collins so it was good to get something accomplished down there.” All four bull riders in Fort Collins scored point in the long go, led by Englebert, but Thomson earned just one point fewer in the go. Englebert said he knew if he wanted to put some distance between himself and Thomson he’d need a to make a good ride in the short go. Unfortunately for Englebert he fell short of the eight-second ride in the short go, but so then did all the other cowboys in the go, leaving him in first place. “Everyone drew pretty good (in the short go),” Englebert said, “we

kind of all just messed up ourselves. We all drew (bulls) we should have rode.” Should Englebert hold on to third place in the regional standings he’ll make his first appearance at Nationals. In the steer wrestling event, Anders entered the short go tied with a third-best time of 5.3 seconds, but caught his steer in just 4.7 seconds in the short go, the second-best time recorded at the rodeo. His average of 10 seconds earned him the win, his first of the spring season. “I haven’t had quite the spring I wanted to until this weekend,” Anders said. The senior cowboy hopes his performance, which he called “a really good run on a really good steer,” built him some momentum he can carry into the final two rodeos of the season. Anders sits in second place of steer wrestling in the Central Rocky Mountain Region standings, just 25 points ahead of fourthplace Kade Greer of the University of Wyoming and just 25 points behind Greer’s teammate Ty Everson. In break away, cowgirl Quincy Segelke, junior of Snyder, Colorado, caught her first steer in 3 seconds in long go and 2.8 seconds in the short go to average 5.8 seconds, about a full second faster than the average of second-place finisher Brooke Glass of Eastern Wyoming College. Segelke is currently on the outside looking in on the regional standings, eight points behind teammate Hanna Hostutler who occupies fifth place. The Eagles’ next rodeo, their second to last of the season, takes place in Casper College beginning Friday, April 19. They’ll close out

Eagles climb leaderboard in St. Louis CSC Sports Information
Behind a record-tying first-round effort from freshman Alpine Hickstein on Sunday, the Chadron State College women’s golf team finished 8th of 16 teams at the University of Missouri-St. Louis Spring Invite at Norwood Hills Country Club after 18 more holes on Monday. “It was good to see Alpine play with some confidence,” said Head Women’s Golf Coach John Ritzen on Sunday. Hickstein’s 74 strokes in round one ties a school record for 18 holes, first set by Ally Malzahn more than 11 years ago in September 2007. In her final tune-up event before the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Championships, she kept pace with the field on Sunday, finishing her first 18 just one stroke off the lead in second place. She settled into ninth out of 91 golfers in the tournament after an 83 in the second round for a total of 157. Senior Sam Rahmig led the Eagles on Monday with a score of 82, after firing 87 on Sunday for 169 and a tie for 35th. The other two members of the team who competed were consistent.
Freshman Anna Branscome (86-85-171) finished tied for 42nd, in the top half of the competitors, while another freshman, Abby White, shot 89-89-178 for 58th. A snag in procedure felled nine golfers and three entire teams on Sunday when three groups of three from Southern Indiana, Rockhurst, and John A. Logan Community College Alpine Hickstein played from the wrong tee boxes on one hole and were disqualified. Of the remaining 13 teams in the tourney, CSC defeated William Jewell, Quincy, Truman State, Trevecca Nazarene, and Rend Lake Community College carding 336-339-675 for the weekend. Illinois-Springfield was the team champion, with a 616, sporting the top two individual finishers, Maria Espinosa and Jennifer Queller. The RMAC Championships, set for April 21-23, will be contested at Ocotillo Golf Resort in Chandler, Arizona, near Phoenix.
Eagle junior sets personal record, earns yet another long jump win Brandon Davenport Sports Editor CSC junior Isaac Grimes, of Moreno Valley, California, once again proved he’s one of the nation’s best Division II long jumpers, leaping 25 feet, 7 1/4 inches to take first place at the University of Colorado Outdoor Meet in Boulder, Saturday. He was the only Eagle to take first place at the meet. Grimes’ jump was his best yet outdoor by 1 1/4 inches according to CSC Sports Information. His previous best was 25 feet, 6 inches which earned him a win at the RMAC Championships last year. Teammate and fellow long jumper Javan Lanier, junior of Aurora, Colorado, earned fourth place in the event with a jump of 23 feet, 4 1/2 inches. It was his best jump of both
the indoor and outdoor seasons according to CSC Sports Information. CSC also placed three other jumpers in the triple jump, including the men’s team’s Joss Linse, freshman of Plattsmouth, and Brock Voth, freshman of Berthoud, Colorado, and the women’s team’s Michelle Carbajal, senior of Gypsum, Colorado. Linse jumped 44 feet, 6 inches 3/4 inches to earn fifth place with Voth jumping 44 feet, 4 1/4 inches to earn seventh. Carbajal earned seventh in the women’s jump with distance of 36 feet 11 3/4 inches. In the steeple chase Alyse Henry, junior of Pickerington, Ohio, finished in 11 minutes, 39.15 seconds, good for third place. Saturday, the Eagles are once again in Colorado, this time in Golden for the Kit Mayer Invite at Colorado School of Mines.

Right: Mesa freshman Lauren Wedman (17) and a teammate celebrate as Maverick Tegan Woosley (20), senior of Aztec, New Mexico, crosses the plate during Mesa’s 16-4 win in Chadron, Sunday.
Top-ranked RMAC opponent Colorado Mesa showed why they lead the conference this weekend, sweeping the Eagles in four games during CSC’s home debut. Saturday the Eagles lost 6-0 and 12-7 to the Mavericks, and Sunday they were defeated 16-4 and 5-6. During the weekend’s second game, Saturday, the Eagles led 5-2 entering the fourth inning, but an offensive onslaught from the Mavericks gave Mesa the game-controlling lead. Freshman Jordan Hays, of Grand Junction, Colorado, started the Maverick’s rally by hitting a solo home run to begin the top of the fourth. Following the game-tying run by Lauren Wedmen, freshman of Tucson, Arizona, who was advanced to home plate by a sacrifice bunt from A. Bradford, sophomore Alexa Samuels, of Arvada, Colorado, hit a three-run home run to put Mesa up 8-5. The Eagles cut their deficit to one run in the bottom of the fifth when Kayla Michel, senior of Brighton, Colorado, hit a two-run home run to make the score 8-7. But the Mavericks would add four more runs to their lead in the sixth and seventh innings, winning 127. The weekend’s final game, Sunday, provided a similar outcome for the Mavericks, as the Eagles were unable to preserve their early 5-3 lead entering the fifth inning. At the bottom of the second inning, Eagle freshman Haleigh Hoefs, of Lincoln, drove in two runs on a single to the infield to give CSC its 5-3 lead. The Eagles would hold onto that lead until the top of the fifth. With two outs Mesa senior
Kaila Jacobi, of Scottsdale, Arizona, batted in Junior Brooke Doumer, of Parker, Colorado, who CSC pitcher Gabby Russell, sophomore of Oceanside, California, hit with a pitch in the first at bat of the inning. Mesa’s next hitter, Samuels, then hit a two-run home run, putting the Mavericks up 6-5. The home run proved the game winner as the Eagles did not score in the final two innings. The Mavericks dominated both opening games of the weekend. Game three saw the Eagles lead 2-1 entering the third inning as Hoefs a two-run home run during her first at bat for the Eagles. The Mavericks quickly scored 13 runs in the third inning, however, to lead 14-2. The Eagles made three changes at pitcher during this stretch as Cassidy Horn, freshman of Colorado Springs, Colorado was relieved by Peyton Propp, freshman of Lakewood, Colorado, but Horn came back in and was relieved by Gabby Russell, sophomore of Oceanside, California. CSC’s Michel hit a two-run homerun in response to Mesa’s big third inning, making the score 144. The Mavericks scored two more runs in the fifth inning, winning 16-4 in five innings. Colorado Mesa shutout CSC in the weekend’s first game as Kimbri Herring, senior of Stansbury, Utah allowed three hits on 79 pitches. Annmarie Torres, junior of Wheat Ridge, Colorado, hit a three-run homerun at the top of the second inning making the score 5-0. Torres scored the game’s final run off a double by Samuel, leading the Mavericks to a 6-0 win. The Eagles currently sit at the bottom of the RMAC with a 7-20 conference record and host Dixie State, who ranks fourth in the RMAC with a 20-8 conference record, Saturday at noon and 2 p.m. and Sunday at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Jons and Osmotherly present at “World Vision Night” Devin Fulton Reporter
Associate Director of Residence Life Taylor Osmotherly presents information regarding “One Child Matters,” a relief organization purposed to sponsor children in third-world counties, Friday in The Hub.
RLA hosted an event informing students about “World Vision,” a relief group that helps communities around the world, Friday, April 5, at The Hub. Assistant Director of Residence Life Channing Jons presented a PowerPoint going over what World Vision does to help communities around the world, how people can get involved and the child he sponsors. “World Vision is one of the most reputable relief organizations in terms of your donations going to the communities,” Jons said. Associate Director of Residence Life Taylor Osmotherly presented about “One Child Matters,” another relief organization which encourages people to sponsor a child in a third-world country. Osmotherly stated the

money donated benefits the child’s community, improving the areas of need such as schooling or farming techniques. “They practice enabling communities to take care of themselves,” Osmotherly said. “This is a good opportunity to make a difference.” Osmotherly handed out pamphlets he received from his sponsorships, showing the audience the updates he receives from his child sponsor’s community and its local developments. “I like the community aspect, because I think you do life as a community,” Assistant Director of Residence Life Mariah Nelson said. “No matter where you are at in life you need people around to support you.” Jons said that anyone interested in sponsoring a child in a third-world country can visit worldvision.org.

Two-hour movie leaves students glued to their seats Nicole Lartey Reporter The Pit hosted a free movie night 9 p.m. Thursday with food and drinks for students after school hours. The workers of the Pit chose the Lakota room of the student center, an open area just right to host a movie night for students interested. There were 25 students in attendance. CSC students had mixed emotions about the pending movie “The first purge” which came in franchises, and according to a few students who had already caught a glimpse of the movie trailer, their first thought of the movie was “scary.” “The government is trying to get rid of poor people. I also enjoyed the movie a lot because it had many different plot twists,” Jeffrey Phillips, freshman of Sarasota, Florida said.
Students were fully invested in the movie and made sure they got the full understanding and concept of the movie. “I think the concept of the movie is very scary,” Sara Flores, junior of Tegucigalpa said. The movie night lasted a period of two hours with everyone glued to their seats until the end. There were reactions every second a different scene was shown. “The movie just shows how in this modern day or world we are misguided by science by using fire to quench fire. It was a dope movie I really enjoyed it,” Tobe Mbanugo, junior of Fresno Texas said. The Pit will continue to host their regular Thursday night events from 9 p.m. to midnight. This is an opportunity for CSC students interested in on campus events. Students can also check in on the CSC rewards app to win prizes and more.

Aydin Mack, senior of Alliance, performs during his senior trumpet recital, Saturday, in the Mari Sandoz Chicone Atrium.
The clear notes of a trumpet rang through the Mari Sandoz Atrium Saturday afternoon as Aydin Mack, senior of Alliance, performed his senior recital. Family, friends, professors and students filled the audience in support of Mack and hear his performance. Mack’s recital opened with Concerto for Trumpet and Piano by Johann Nepomuk Hummel, featuring accompaniment by Bobby Pace. The concerto was a three-movement virtuosic piece which highlighted Mack’s capability on trumpet. The concerto was followed by an impressive performance of Eugene Bozza’s “Rustiques,” which concluded the first half of the recital. The second half featured three jazz tunes, “Birdlike,” by Freddie Hubbard, “Summertime,” by George Gershwin, and “Shofukan,” by Michael League. The three jazz pieces featured what Mack called “the unofficial recital band,” Jake Voorhis on bass; Kyle Kuxhausen on drums, Patrick Cassidy on guitar, Jedd Ray-
mond on saxophone, and Allen Kissack on trombone. The recital, which received a standing ovation from the audience, was a display of Mack’s dedication as a musician. Mack, who has been playing trumpet for about ten years, explained that life as a college musician is a full-time job in of itself and takes profuse dedication. “Outside of class I practice four to six hours a day, seven days a week, so it’s just constant all the time. Rehearsals with the guys we don’t really do much, but for the classical pieces its usually between 40 and 50 hours a week,” Mack said. After graduating in May with a major in applied music and a minor in business, Mack is planning to return to CSC in the fall for another year to complete a second bachelor’s degree in business. From there he hopes to attend graduate school and obtain a master’s degree at Berklee College of Music in Valencia. Saturday will see two more music students give their senior recitals in the Sandoz Center, Allen Kissack will present his senior trombone recital at 3 p.m., and Bryony Trump will perform her clarinet recital at 7 p.m.

ophone, trombone, saxophone, trumpet and two guitars, all of which were played by his upperclassmen peers. The band played four songs. Among these tunes Cassidy said he most enjoyed learning and playing Kenny Burrell’s popular jazz blues song “Midnight Blue”, and “Four”, by Miles Davis. “It’s much more difficult to play jazz and for people to appreciate it as much as main-
that time between being a young kid and now, it’s made all the difference as far as the people that are in my life that encourage me to keep playing.” Cassidy said. The next senior recitals will be Saturday at the Mari Sandoz Chicoine Atrium, and will feature trombonist Allen Kissack of Sidney, who plays at 3 p.m., and clarinetist Bryony Trump of Sterling, Colorado.

Resident advisers turned couches, chairs and cups into obstacles for the players. Besides events in the Hub, Edna also hosts many entertaining programs like “Movie Night,” or “Lobby Putt- Putt.” “I like Edna events. It’s convenient since I live right here. The mini golf is challeng-
ing but interesting!” Manou Mbombo, 20, sophomore of Democratic Republic of Congo, said. “Having programs in Edna also bring the resident closer. I look forward to more game events because they will help me reduce the stress of final exams coming,” Mbombo added. The event provided students with an engaging indoor activity as a study break during the Saturday evening. Students can get their hands messy while relieving stress at Edna’s next event, “Make it with Play-Doh,” 6 p.m., Saturday in the Edna conference room.

Henna
at the
Hub
Devin Fulton Reporter Residents received a special kind of tattoo during RLA’s Henna Tattoo Night from 7-9 p.m., Tuesday, at The Hub. Henna tattoos are popular throughout the world and are temporary on the skin, lasting 1-4 weeks. Over 98 students attended the event, having the chance to either tattoo themselves or receive a free-handed tattoo from other students. “We were thinking that maybe 60-70 people would show up,” Senior RA Nalani Stewart, junior of Colorado Springs, Colorado, said. “We wanted to do an event that could be diverse. Henna is originally from India and they use pigments there to crush them up to make these tattoos. I thought it would be cool to bring it here.” Kaitlin Macke, senior of Newcastle, Wyoming, provided the crowd of students with creative hand tattoos throughout the night.
A henna design drys on the hand of Clinton Albertus, 25, senior of Curacao, Caribbean Islands, Tuesday at The Hub. The tattoo process was simple. Students used a stencil tool and then applied the henna paste from a cone. For full aes-
thetic effect, students waited for one hour with the paste on their arm or leg. Once the paste dried up, the tattoo was transformed into an orange shade. “I just thought it was something that both men and women would be interested in. It is pretty easy and low maintenance for everyone,” Senior RA Lydia Privett, junior of Wahoo, said. The hands-on program allowed for students to relax, socialize and drink coffee while waiting for their tattoos to dry up. “I didn’t have anything else to do. I usually like going to programs like this that are hands on,” Chaelor Brown, freshman of Cedar Hills, Utah, said. The program exceeded attendance expectations and provided students with some fresh designs on their hands and arms for the remainder of the school year. Next week, RLA is hosting an “Art Gallery” event Tuesday, April 16, all day in The Hub. Anyone interested in submitting their artwork can email devin.fulton@eagles.csc.edu.
