April declared “The Big Event” month u By Aubrie Lawrence Editor-in-Chief
On Monday, the Chadron City Council declared April “The Big Event” Month during its weekly meeting . The Big Event will be celebrating its 10th anniversary this weekend with it annual Big Event. “When we started The Big Event 10 years ago never did I imagine the support that we would get throughout the community,” Big Event adviser Shaunda French-Collins, communication professor, said during the meeting. “The Big Event has not been easy to sustain these last 10 years, we’ve had multiple bliz-
zards, the pandemic and honestly the generational shift in volunteers has made it more unique each year. Yet we continue to help it grow stronger and better due to these fantastic students. Thank you community members, thank you students for helping continue this tradition and we look forward to serving the community for many years to come.” On Friday, alumni are invited to a recognition dinner in the Mari Sandoz High Plains Heritage Center Chicoine Atrium. During the meeting French-Collins said Nebraska State College System (NSCS) Chancellor Paul Turman will be attending the dinner. olunteers should report to the Chicoine Center from 8-9 a.m. on Saturday to sign in and receive their jobsite location.

Freshmen honored at Rising Sophomore ceremony By Eban Rosentrater Reporter
CSC hosted the first in-person Rising Sophomore Award Ceremony in two years in the Student Center Ballroom on Tuesday at 6 p.m. “It was great to see so many students with their family and friends at the event,” organizer and Project Strive TRIO Director Jennifer Schaer said. “When the event started seven years ago, the Ballroom was full, just like last night. Having so many people there to support each other and share the night is wonderful.” The award ceremony is meant to showcase the achievement of outstanding CSC freshmen through academics, athletics, leadership, and overall merit. However, due to conflicts with COVID-19, the ceremony has not been held in-person for two years.
Freshmen from many different academic departments were nominated for awards by their teachers, advisors, and peers. Alec Langan, 20, freshman of McCook, was a nominee for multiple different awards throughout the ceremony and won the Outstanding Student Award for Physical and Life Sciences in PrePharmacy. “I’m feeling pretty good,” Langan said when asked about his award, “It was an honor to be recognized, but it’s not the point of why you do those things. You do it to make Chadron State a better campus.” Katrina Christensen, 20, freshman of Guernsey, Wyoming, was also a nominee for multiple different awards and won three. She received the Outstanding Student Award for Psychology, the Academic Grit Award and the Overall Determination Award. “It means a lot,” Christensen said. “I know I can push myself through anything if I struggle with it. I know that my professors are willing to work with me, and that I can work hard.”

CSC RHOP students pose for a picture during their tour of the UNMC campus March 28.
Members of CSC’s Rural Health Opportunities Program (RHOP) traveled to the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) in Omaha and the Health Science Education Complex (HSEC) in Kearney on March 28 and 29 to explore the future of their health organization. The 28 RHOP students were joined by 114 fellow undergraduate students from Wayne State College, Peru State College and the University of Nebraska at Kearney (UNK) to learn about their future in medicine, nursing, dental hygiene, dentistry, pharmacy, public health and allied health professions, a UNMC press release states. After graduating from CSC, students in the RHOP program will continue their education at UNMC before practicing in the rural areas of Nebraska.

“My favorite part of the RHOP trip to UNMC was getting to tour the campuses,” RHOP member Grace Redinger, XX, sophomore of Hastings, said. “I had never been to UNMC before, so it was awesome to get to see the place that I will be spending the next few years at after undergrad!” Students were also able meet current UNMC students in their respective programs and UNMC faculty to learn how to best prepare for the difficulty of the program. “One thing that I realized while on the trip, is that all of the RHOP students are cheering everyone else on,” Redinger, said. “RHOP is such a unique experience, that you are able to build connections even before you step foot in UNMC. College can be a very stressful time, so it is so reassuring to know how many people are supporting you. Getting the privilege of visiting UNMC has already benefitted me. After such an amazing trip, I am even more driven to succeed.” CSC accepts roughly 35 students into the RHOP program each year.

Third-generation logger to speak on campus April 21 u By Aubrie Lawrence Editor-in-Chief
The Collegiate Farm Bureau will be hosting motivational speaker Bruce Vincent on Thursday, April 21, for a presentation on leadership and Earth Day after receiving a $6,394 allocation from Student Senate. AFB recommended that Collegiate Farm Bureau receive $2,500, however, that wouldn’t be enough money to bring Vincent and Student Senate allocated the full request. Vincent is a third-generation logger from Libby, Montana, who has given motivational speeches about resources, recreation, banking and business associations, legislative bodies and the rural culture, his website, brucevincentspeaking.com, states. “He also talks too about being involved and being leaders and our younger generation grow-
ing up and being leaders and being active,” Erin Norman, family and consumer sciences assistant professor and Collegiate Farm Bureau adviser, said. “He’s just a really good motivational speaker but tying it into Earth Day.” The presentation will be open to all students, the community and surrounding counties to increase involvement. “Agriculture is super important, especially in this area and for rising agriculturalists,” Emma Stewart, senator at large, said. “I think it would be really important to have that on campus.” In other news: > Voting on a new CAB executive board will take place at next week’s meeting at 5 p.m. in the Student Center Scottsbluff Room. > Student Senate allocated $500 to The Pit’s Casino Night, which will be April 28. > Campus Improvement Committee was allocated $2,500 for a campus tree planting project.

The Oscars should practice what they preach
I
don’t usually watch the Oscars and overall, they are one of the least important things happening in the world right now but man was this a good year to tune in. The most interesting thing about the Oscars is usually who doesn’t win and if someone had an especially bad outfit. This year, almost too many things were happening during the show. Apart from some questionable jokes, there was the Will Smith slapping Chris Rock moment, followed closely by Smith winning an Oscar; a repeating commercial about the war in Ukraine and a memorandum for actors and directors that have passed recently, excluding Bob Saget. While the Smith and Rock moment was very entertaining, it still didn’t overshadow what my issue with the Oscars is. Every year the Oscars give out ridiculously expensive gift bags. The gift bags this year were worth just about $140,000
5
according to ign.com. So, while there is a war happening and people living in bomb shelters every day in Ukraine, some very rich people in very expensive outfits, (who you would think would have a few dollars to spare) attended the Oscars and talked about how sad they were for those suffering in the war and played one commercial a few times about the war. I wonder if, along with speeches reminding us that it is a global responsibility to help Ukraine, these expensive guests decided to give any of their own money or help to Ukraine? Now that is not to say that there aren’t some celebrities and foundations who have donated and put some efforts into helping Ukraine. But the majority have not. I wonder what the guests or the academy could have done with the money they put towards so many very expensive gifts. Could they have perhaps

Being a student athlete is its own reward u By Madyson Schliep Staff Editor
April 6th is National Student Athlete Day. According to Cornell Law School, a Student Athlete means an individual who engages in, or may be eligible in the future to engage in, any intercollegiate sport. According to the NCAA, there are nearly half a million student athletes competing at colleges across the U.S. Being a student athlete means early mornings and late nights, long trips on the bus and weekends spent competing. Being a student athlete also means that school work still has to come first. Even when you are traveling and competing homework and tests still have to be done on time. It also means that you have to
commit to practicing, lifting and study sessions on top of competitions during the season. While the NCAA, operates on a 20 hour per week rule during the season it sometimes feels like a full time job when gone for competitions. But to me, being a student athlete, means that although there are early morning and late nights, I have developed lifelong friendships and connections that will follow me through life. All of the hours spent on the bus and hotel room shenanigans have lead to some of my favorite memories. I have also learned the importance of hard work, perseverance and time management. The last one probably being the hardest to learn. Managing practice, homework, work and free time was a struggle my freshman year. But learning these things has made

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Chadron State College is the place to chase dreams Dear Editor, There are many names for our great school, for example, Chadron State College, Chadron State, CSC, The nest, The rock, the Harvard of the Midwest, Chaddy State, but my favorite name for our school is, “home.” Every week I have read this paper cover to cover and sometimes it feels like our school is all doom and gloom, but today I am going to write about how Chadron State is home. It is the place where dreams come true. A town where your professors know your name and want you to succeed. One part about our college that few students know about is that Chadron is a teaching college, meaning that the teachers who come here want to help and have a passion for teaching
their subject. Isn’t that flipping awesome!! I always hear the complaint that Chadron is too small, but what we lack in numbers, we make up for in community. Do you remember when an Adam State player charged the football team for cheering too loud at a basketball game? What an atmosphere to play in. These are the little things you would miss if you did not attend Chadron State College, and you would not get it if you enrolled at bigger universities. Another complaint you hear is that there is nothing to do, well that is just simply not the case. The NPAC is open from 6 a.m.- 10 p.m., RLA events are happening all the time,
and we have countless hiking trails around town and in the Black Hills. There is so much to do in this area, but students do not take advantage of what they can do here. If you come in with a sour attitude and you expect your experience to be less than - Alec Langan ideal, how can you expect to have a good time, but if you come in with the glass half full mindset, with the idea that you are going to make the most of your experience. With positive energy set fourth that you are not going to let life get you, you are going to go get life and make the most of it.
“
This mindset will not only make your Chadron Experience better, it will make your life even better because, according to Charles R. Swindoll “life is 10% of what happens to you, and 90% of how you react to it”. We are only given so many breaths, do not waste them on complaining or second guessing, you are here for reason. So, whether you came to Chadron for sports, financial reasons, or you just really wanted to be an Eagle. Smile and hold your head high, because today is a great day for your dream to come true. Alec Langan, sophomore, McCook

Prescribed burns planned for Dawes County u By Kamryn Kozisek Ag and Range Editor
Photo Courtsey USDA
A prescribed burn is carried out using a drip torch. Six prescribed burns are planned for Dawes County WMAs.
Nebraska Game and Parks Commission recently announced its plans for prescribed burns across the state in 2022, including six in Dawes County. Wildlife management areas (WMA) to be burned include Big Horn, Bordeaux Creek, Chet and Jane Fleisbach, Box Butte, Chadron Creek Ranch and Ponderosa. Prescribed burning, according to Game and Parks, can help to increase wildlife habitats and decrease invasive species like Kentucky bluegrass. “Prescribed fire was a very natural ecological process years ago before European settlement then we started putting the kibosh on putting out lightning strikes,” Rick Arnold, Game
and Parks biologist, stated during an episode of the Panhandle Afeild Podcast, hosted by Justin Hagg. “The Pine Ridge historically burned every 5-10 years with uncontrolled lighting strikes and various causes for fire. Native Americans set fire to the plains regularly to attract bison and that new fresh green growth. More or less we are just trying to put fire back in the landscape to restore that natural process that used to happen.” According to Nebraska Pheasants Forever, prescribed burns can help to control eastern red cedar encroachment on to Nebraska grasslands. Easter red cedar is encroaching on 38,000 acres a year. In order to carry out a prescribed burn, a burn list needs to be followed and carried out to help prevent fires from getting out of control. Weather is monitored including temperature, humidity and wind speed as well.

“Rangeland areas that have not had fire occurrence are often sites of problems involving invasive species,” Central Platte Resources District website states. “The invasive species, such as Eastern Red Cedar, can take away natural grassland acres that are necessary for grazing as well as for wildlife. Rangelands that are always grazed in the fall or winter with no spring treatment may also become areas dominated by native and non-native cool-season grasses and invasive weeds. These areas offer a reduced food value to livestock and are of reduced value to native wildlife.” Nebraska’s prescribed fire council will be hosting its third Great Plains Fire Council August 23-25 in North Platte in the Sandhills Convention Center. Online regestration can be filled out on https://www.eventbrite. com/e/great-plains-fire-summitpatch-burn-grazing-conference-registration-276850004817.

“It’s the oldest play I’ve done,” Reidun Hammer, sophomore of Dubois, Wyoming, stage manager, said. “In terms of the time it’s set in, so it’s been very interesting to watch the actors emulate speech patterns and movement from the 12th century.” The theater department recently got a new director, Dewayne Barrett, following the departure of David Craven. “Before midterm break, we started blocking this show with a different director,” O’Dell said. “He cast the show and had started to work the very basics with us, but we only had one week of rehearsal with him. Coming back with the opportunity to work with a new director has been different, but lots of fun. We had not started really developing out characters and the show yet, so the adjustment was not that hard. There has been some blocking changes here and there, but that’s to be expected for any show. Overall, the change went very smooth and I’m excited to put on this production.” “The Lion in the Winter” will be showing in the Black Box Theatre, April 7-9, April 14-15 at 7 p.m. and April 10 at 2 p.m. Free tickets are availiable at csc.edu/theatre.

CSC golf team finishes regular season in third
u By Mackenzie Dahlberg Sports Editor
CSC golf team finished its regular season to take third at the Hardrocker Spring Invitational, Monday at Arrowhead Country Club in Rapid City, South Dakota. The team competed against 11 teams, finishing 36 holes in one day with 696 total strokes. “It’s a long day for sure, not just physically but mentally,” Kenzey Kanno, sophomore of Mitchell, said. “I know we all wanted to do better, and we definitely wanted to win the tournament, but we were happy with third place.” Kanno, who golfed as an individual, tied 13th after the first round at 87 strokes, but she moved up to tie in seventh after her second round of 84, with a total of 171 strokes.
“I felt pretty good but definitely did not shoot the scores I wanted to shoot,” Kanno said. “The conditions were a little tough with the wind at times which made it hard, but I was happy overall.” Also at 171 strokes, Alpine Hickstein, junior of Chadron, remained in seventh place after both rounds, 82 strokes in the first and 89 in the second to tie with Kanno. Kinsey Smith, sophomore of Windsor, Colorado, finished 11th after golfing 87 for both rounds with a 174-stroke total. The Eagles move to the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Tournament, Sunday, April 17 to Tuesday, April 19, at Whirlwind Golf Course in Chandler, Arizona. “It’s gone by so fast I feel like,” Kanno said. “It’s just really crazy to think that we are already almost done with another season.”

CSC rodeo places despite difficulties u By Mackenzie Dahlberg Sports Editor
Despite facing difficult runs in some go-rounds, the Chadron State rodeo team was still able to place during the rodeo hosted by Colorado State University over the weekend in Fort Collins. “I think that the rest of my team performed well at CSU,” Sierra Lee, junior of Rhame, North Dakota, said. “We had three other guys place in the average in their events. We also had some competitors that missed making the short-go by only a few placings.” Parker Johnston, sophomore of Maywood, earned 74 points with his first go-round in bull riding. Despite not remaining on for eight seconds in his short go-round, Sunday, Johnston was still able to take second. Teigen Marchant, senior of Newcastle, Wyoming, who took a first place at the last two rodeos, went into the short go-round in third after a 5.4 second run in the first go-round. Marchant finished the weekend in fifth after timing his short go-round at 12 seconds, averaging 17.4 seconds. Blaine Flack, senior of Crawford,
who was ninth with 57 points in the saddle bronc riding going into the short go-round, moved up to sixth place with a point average of 113 after his final ride of the weekend. “I feel that our team is a little behind where we need to be for these last two rodeos,” Lee said. “Our Men’s team and Women’s team do not have as many points as we would like to in the standings. There are some individuals that have placed really well at other rodeos, though, so they do have a chance to make nationals.” Lee placed strong for the Eagles, earning a sixth and seventh place. She took sixth in the barrel racing with a 31.88 average run, timing at 15.81 seconds in the long go-round and 16.07 seconds in the final go-round. “I was very pleased with my performance over the weekend,” Lee said. “I was able to make it back to the short go in both of my events, which are breakaway roping and barrel racing.” Breakaway roping was the event Lee took seventh in with her first goround being 2.8 seconds. She wasn’t able to rope in her calf in the finals to give her a 102.8 second average. The Eagles will continue their spring ride at Casper College’s rodeo this weekend, starting Friday in Casper.
