Chadron State Lindeken Clock Tower stands against the cold as a polar vortex drops temperatures Wednesday.
Sub-zero temps seize CSC, region u By Aubrie Lawrence Editor
After an unusually warm fall and holiday season, winter’s fierce grip seized CSC and the region on Friday and it’s not letting go anytime soon, forecasters say. The National Weather Service office, Cheyenne, Wyoming, has issued a hazardous weather alert until Monday at 11 a.m., warning that
windchills could reach 30 degrees below zero. Exposure to these temperatures could cause frostbite in as little as 10 minutes the NWS said. The freezing temperatures resulted in two inches of snow according to the NWS. The subzero temperature and windchill caused CSC to have a late start on Monday. Snowshowers are expected to continue through the weekend. It’s not just Chadron being affected by the cold winter weather. All across the United States
winter warnings are being issued as a polar vortex moves across North America. According to a CBS News article, the lowest temperature in the United States Monday was 43 degrees below zero in Minnesota. Forecasters predict that Chadron will see double-digit temperatures again towards the middle of next week. Till then, they advise that everyone drive with caution and wear appropriate clothing, such as hats, gloves and coats, when outside.

Senate and Wildlife Club in allocation dispute u By Sullivan Jones News Editor
Student Senate allocated a total of $2,575 between the Wildlife Club and a virtual conference for students at its Monday meeting. The Wildlife Club requested $825 for a yearend pizza party which will occur near the end of the semester. The Activity Fee Board stipulated that the event must be open to all students rather than only club members. “AFB precedents actually cap event prizes at $300 per event. But, with COVID-19, we wanted students to be able to enjoy any events they could have on campus, hence why we recommended approval for the whole amount requested after putting the condition to have the event open to all students,” AFB co-chair Feven Hailemariam said. The Wildlife Club said it intended to have the event open to club members only, and the conditional mandate placed on the event by Student Senate on Monday came as a surprise. The club president said he attended the Monday senate meeting via Zoom after hearing an allocation
vote would be taking place but said poor streaming quality of the meeting interrupted his audio. “So, we were on the Zoom and we had no knowledge whatsoever of the stipulation going into the meeting. It was kind of just to say: Here, you got the money, but this is our stipulation for you,” Justin Gress, President of the Wildlife Club said. Senate President Lily Umeta also weighed in on the club allocation. “We try to invite club executive members to the senate meeting so we can work better on these kinds of things. Zoom provides a great option but unfortunately sometimes the connection also hinders communication. However, I wish he said something about it in the Zoom chat,” Umeta said. The club and senate have options moving forward, depending on if Wildlife Club chooses to comply with the mandate or keep the event open to club members only. “If the club refuses to open the event, then the club can choose to submit a new additional request packet or appeal our decision. In whichever option the club wishes to procced with,
senate has the right to revoke or change the funding approved,” Hailemariam said. “I think we are going to try and appeal it and say why we asked for so much because last year we got cancelled because of COVID,” Gress said. “We were going to try and more or less double up on all the stuff members would get to help the people from last year who are still members this year, and make it a bigger event for returning members and new members who have been consistently proactive in the club. I want to give back to them.” President Umeta said AFB doesn’t ordinarily allocate any prize money for club events not open to all students, and that the $694 of allocated prize money for Wildlife Club’s event is a high dollar amount at $15.42 per person, if all 45 club members attend. Still, according to Gress, the event will remain open to only club members even if he must accept a lower amount, possibly the $300 for prizes, from senate. “It will be private regardless of whether we get the money from them or not,” Gress said. “We feel like we would be taking away from
the Wildlife Club members because this is their event and our way to give back to them as officers.” In a separate matter, senate allocated money to Associate Professor of Communication Shaunda French-Collins for students to attend a virtual conference normally held in-person in Omaha. The $1,750 requested by French-Collins will be used to buy 25 student tickets to the Meet the Pros virtual event. French-Collins pitched the event to Student Senate last week and then presented the allocation request to AFB for approval. A ticket to the two-day event on March 1 and 2 costs $70. At the event, students studying communication, advertising, and graphic design will meet with professionals in their field of study and also have them review their resumes and portfolios.

As We See It
A Super Bowl full of hypocrites I
n the NFL’s ‘Inspire Change’ commercial during the Super Bowl, they came out in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. The decision to support the movement has been met with criticism from both sides. In 2016, Colin Kaepernick kneeled for the first time during the national anthem and it caught a lot of attention. His peaceful protest started by sitting on the bench during the national anthem to protest racial injustice. This was enough to anger some viewers, so to quell the anger the 49ers team released a statement according to the official NFL website stating, “The national anthem is and always will be a special part of the pre-game ceremony. It is an opportunity to honor our country and reflect on the great liberties we are afforded as its citizens. In respecting such American principles as freedom of religion and freedom of expression, we recognize the right of an individual to choose and participate, or not, in our celebration of the national anthem.” The statement didn’t really solve anything, as viewers were still mad. Kaepernick then received a letter from Nate Boyer, who formerly played for the Seahawks and was a Green Beret. Boyer and Kaepernick then met up and talked about
his protest. Boyer suggested that their rules against kneeling during the Kaepernick kneel during the anthem anthem now contrast with statements because it’s a way soldiers show rethey’ve made in the past year.

“It all depends on how you celebrate. If you’re busy buying gifts, then it’s too capitalized. It all just depends.”
“Yes. I definitely think it’s a money-making holiday and not really about love. People are too focused on gifts instead of loving each other.”
“Honestly, yes. It could be any other day. You should still love your significant other anyway. It’s too much pressure.”
“Yes. I think if you have a significant other it is a day that puts a lot of unneeded stress on people. You should be celebrating your loved ones.”

Upgrades to all cabins will continue throughout the year including new siding. The Group Event Center has also had interior upgrades made to it. The campgrounds had improvements made such as the building of two new shower houses and equipping 25 campsites with 50 amp electricity. In February the park hopes to get a contractor to begin upgrading the 5.6 miles of road in the park, this project will be completed by June.

The Nebraska Game and Parks system began in 1921 with the establishment of Chadron State Park. To celebrate, renovations have been started to improve the park. Close to $1.6 million has been spent on renovating the parks buildings and campsites. The projects were funded by Nebraska Outdoor Recreational Developmental Act, Nebraska’s LB309 Task Force for Building Renewal and park fees and permits.

Recently, biologists in Yellowstone National Park discovered the oldest male grizzly bear ever recorded in the parks history.
Bear 168 was 34 years old when he was euthanized by park officials. Male grizzly bears lived to be an average of 22 years while females have been recorded living to 30.
Bear 168 was tattooed by park officials with his identification number in 1989, when was approximately 3 years old. He has fathered three groups of grizzly bear cubs throughout his lifetime.
When he was discovered he weighed about 170 lbs, which is approximately 270 lbs lighter than the average adult male grizzly bear.
He had three teeth left and was unable to eat or hunt. He was found attacking cattle by latching on to them and using the pressure of his jaw to break bones.
Female grizzly bear 399 from Grand Teton National Park is currently 24 years old and many believe she might live to be one of the oldest grizzlies in history. She spent the fall and summer traveling throughout the state of Wyoming with all her cubs before returning to park territory in Novem-

Brodie Roden, junior of Riverton, Wyoming, ran the 400 meters with a time of 49.76, and placed first setting the meet record. Roden also contributed to the 4x400 which took the meet record, with Morgan Fawver, sophomore of McCook; Osvaldo Cano, sophomore of Oshkosh; and Harley Rhoades, junior of Douglas, Wyoming, marked at 3:22.40. “This was his (Roden) first time competing and it was good,” Head Track and Field Coach Riley Northrup said. “It was better than any of his opening performances on the track in previous years, so that’s positive.” Cano finished second in the 400 meters with a time of 50.28 seconds, and in third place, Rhoades ran the 400 meters in 52.09 seconds. Fawver won first in two of his events, marking 6.94 seconds in the 60 meters, and leaping 22 feet, 11.25 inches in the long jump.

Venzor took first in the mile run, without a recorded time, and fifth in the 3000 meters with a time of 10:12.71. Avery took third in the mile and third in the 3000 meters, timed at 10:06.48.

The Eagles wrestled their last home dual against Western Colorado University, coming away with a 27-13 win, Friday at the Chicoine Center, which was closed to the public. With this win, Chadron State holds a 4-3 overall record and a 2-2 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference record. “I think the team performed super well and we have really been gaining momentum throughout the season,” Rowdy Pfeil, freshman of Moorcroft, Wyoming, said in a message to the Eagle. Tate Stoddard, sophomore of Glenrock, Wyoming, won his match with a technical fall, 17-0, earning 10 points in near falls after a takedown in the first period. He finished his match in the second period with four more back points. Preston Renner, sophomore of Westminster, Colorado, and Tate Allison, graduate of Moorcroft, Wyoming, gained three points each for the Eagles with a decision win over their WCU’s opponents. Renner in the 157-pound class, took down his opponent in the second period after earning an escape point, and earned another two-point takedown in the third period, winning his match 6-0. Allison took down his opponent in the first period and third period while WCU’s Hayden Johnson earned an escape each period.
Allison finished his match with an additional point of ride time, 5-3. No. 4 Pfeil, took his opponent down three times throughout his match, earning a four-point near fall in the first period. Pfeil earned two escape points, one in the second period and the other following a takedown by James Steerman. Pfeil earned four points for the Eagles with a major decision win, 13-4. “I think I performed really good,” Pfeil said. “But there’s always more stuff to work on.” Eli Hinojosa, sophomore of Imperial, pinned his opponent in the 197-pound class, being the only wrestler Friday night to earn a six-point pin for his team. Hinojosa started the third period of his match behind WCU’s Stanley Suter, Hinojosa took down Suter and earned a four-point near fall before pinning his opponent after wrestling for six minutes and 10 seconds. Mason Watt, sophomore of Broomfield, Colorado, followed Hinojosa’s six points with another six with an open 285-pound weight class. Chadron State continues its season at the NCAA Super Region 6 Championships, at 10 a.m., Saturday, Feb. 27, in Grand Junction, Colorado. “My plan going into the post season is to keep everything the same but to push a little harder,” Pfeil said, “I think for the team our plan is to get more individualized and to fine tune the details.”
