Following its commission, which was announced earlier this year, the bronze sculpture, “The Three Muses,” was delivered to campus 8:30 a.m., Wednesday. After carefully bracing the sculpture, it was moved to a platform, where its orientation was planned – including which direction each of the three muses would face.

Installation was temporarily halted after the insertion of three metal poles into the base of the sculpture, because of the presence of steel rebar, which required special drills to penetrate.

The sculptor, David Alan Clark, accompanied the sculpture to campus in order to ensure its proper installation and presentation. The following are several questions posed to the artist: Q: How long did the process of designing the sculpture take you?

A: The whole commission process, including selection, sculpting, and time with the foundry process (the bronze casting), took about a year.

Q: What was your inspiration?

A: “Probably a little bit of, just of the university and university setting.” The sculpture ties in with academic, art, and athletics because they all work together to make a more inspirational figure for everyone.

Q: Are all your sculptures bronze?

Why do you choose bronze?

A: Yes, all of my sculptures are bronze.

Bronze is exceedingly durable and easy to shape and sculpt. see SCULPTURE, Page 3

CAMPUS ACTIVITIES BOARD

STUDENT SENATE

CAB wraps-up homecoming talks Kelsey Amos Reporter The focus of the Campus Activities Board meeting on Tuesday was the schedule of events for homecoming week, which is Sept. 24 – Oct. 1.

Luke Wright, president, said approximately 100 students attended last Saturday’s late night movie. He encouraged students to vote for their favorite bed sheets in the bed sheet contest.

Shellie Johns, adviser, said CSC will have a professional fireworks show for the first time on campus at 9 p.m., Saturday behind Burkhiser.

The display cost $5000. Johns encouraged students to attend the show. Johns said there will be two live eagles on display in front of Crites Hall on Saturday in honor of the CSC mascot.

Jazzy Seumalo, special and cultural events coordinator, said that students who dress up for the Theme Days can register

THURSDAY, SEPT. 29, 2011

at The Eagle Pride Bookstore to win a $100 gift card.

Sara Labor, student events coordinator, said the 5K Eagle Run is 8 a.m., Saturday at 12th and Main Street. The homecoming football game versus Pueblo State College is 1:30 p.m., Saturday at Elliot Field, Labor said.

Adam Neumann, publicity coordinator, said the Phantom is haunting CSC again. The phantom was a hoax constructed by a few college students in the 1960s. The Phantom has reappeared for homecoming. Students who see him on campus can take a picture and upload it to his Facebook page “The Phantom of Chadron State College,” to win a prize.

James Bahenksy, senate vice president, said that senate is selling the remainder of the “Tradition Never Graduates” shirts 11 a.m., Saturday, on the Dean’s Green. Shirts are $5 for students.

Senators discuss perks for service Ashley Swanson Reporter Student Senate allocated money to buy its members folders, and discussed incentives for service at its meeting Monday.

T.J. Thomson, treasurer, said that there is $13,510 in un-allocated funds in the senate’s accounts.

Discussion regarding folders for each senator was returned to the floor. The topic was tabled during the last two meetings.

The senate unanimously approved the allocation of an undisclosed sum from its state account to purchase 50 folders.

As The Eagle reported Sept. 1, Beth Wroblewski, corresponding secretary, said the cost would be about $8. Placing the total allocation at about $400.

Sammi Shaykett, parliamentarian, said that the folders will be free to all senators.

Laure Sinn, activities coordinator, said senators should keep the folders as a memento, instead of turning them in at the end of the

year as had been done previously with binders.

Joseph Reedy, senator of B.E.A.M.S.S, asked what other benefits senators were getting out of being on senate.

Thomson said that although he isn’t opposed to the idea of incentives, he believes that the purpose of Senate is to serve one’s colleagues and make the campus a better place.

Thomson further said an earlier concept—that of a point-based system—should be implemented to reward the most productive senators for their efforts, instead of spending hundreds of dollars for something that might not be returned to senate.

In other business, Vice President, James Bahensky, showed off the new signs to mark the student, visitor, and band sections of Don Beebe Stadium. The signs are scheduled to be installed this Saturday before the game.

Student Trustee, Riley Machal, said she plans to shoot T-shirts into the student section at the home-

coming football game Saturday.

Sinn also said CSC’s centennial homecoming parade is slated to kick-off weekend events at 10 a.m.

Saturday. This year’s parade will run from the north end of town and make its way south on Main Street to end on campus at the Dean’s Green.

Organizations participating in the parade must line up by the Dawes County Fairgrounds, located at the north end of Main Street beginning at 9:30 a.m. Saturday.

Faculty adviser Susan Shaeffer, associate professor of counseling, psychology, and social work, said the Academic Review Committee is restructuring the objectives of general studies. “General Studies” is going to be changed to “Essential Studies.”

“The Essential Studies Program at Chadron State provides an integrated, coherent learning experience to prepare students for a life of responsible inquiry,” Schaeffer said about the program’s focus, reading from its written objectives.

The original clay is covered with a silicon mold where it picks up the details, then is eventually covered with plaster. The plaster is then filled with wax. The sculpture is next covered in a ceramic shell and put into a kiln in order to burn the wax away.

From there, the shells are filled with yet another bronze shell that burns at 2,100 degrees. The sculpture comes out in pieces, so after all the pieces have been filled with the bronze shell, the pieces are then welded together and rebuilt in metal.

Clark expressed his gratitude to the college and the selection committee. Public art becomes an asset and it will be better liked and hopefully will become part of the community as time goes on.

Clark will be back on campus at 12:30 p.m., this Saturday to talk a little more about the sculpture during the sculpture dedication ceremony.

When you sculpt something, you need to think of something that’s classic, not fashionable, and will last for a long time. What the piece says needs to be an eternal theme. “A lot of things in life are very changeable.”

You have to take extra care of what you want, how you want it to be like, and how it’s portrayed. “This stuff doesn’t change, ever.”

Q: What the hardest part of the sculpture to complete?

A: The face and hands. Trying to create an expression that will drag everyone’s eyes to the sculpture is important.

Q: How many pieces of your work are public displays?

A: I have 12 monuments mostly throughout the inter-mountain west. There’s a sculpture in the suburbs of Chicago, Oklahoma City, the suburbs of Dallas, Wyoming, Colorado, and there’s another one going to California.

OPINION 4 Treat politely those who do the dirty work WWW.CSCEAGLE.COM

Evan Mehne Columnist

No matter what my job may be, I take a lot of pride in the work that I do. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that the general population appreciates that kind of work.

I have worked in fast food, as a housekeeper, a cashier, a stocker, a mechanic, and now a dishwasher. One could say that I’ve enough experience with “low-brow” jobs to represent others with similar work.

Now, what qualifies such a job to be so diminished in the public eye? According to urbandictionary.com it is, “An unfulfilling, tedious waste of 8+ hours of the day, five days of the week, that you only persist with in order to pay the bills and the ever mounting debt.”

Although not a reliable source, I believe that the majority of the population will agree with that definition. Let’s break it down even more, though. Ignoring the desk jobs, let’s move even

lower down the social hierarchy.

Janitors, dishwashers, and garbage collectors are the least appreciated. How many individuals personally walk by their janitor and say “Hello,” or even acknowledge him or her? I could pose similar questions proving that few of us take the time to appreciate how vital these jobs are.

Try getting rid of the janitors throughout the entire campus for just one week and see just how bad things would get. How many toilets in the dorms turn dirt-brown from lack of cleaning? What about the buildup in the showers?

Now, do without your garbage collectors.

How dirty would the campus become? Your dorm would constantly smell like trash, unable to find someone to take away the filth. How about clutter in the hallways and sitting rooms?

Do the same with the dishwashers; send them away. The cafeteria would be quite a disgusting place with all of those dirty dishes left undone. I highly doubt everyone would be willing to wash hundreds of dishes to get a clean plate.

I understand a person for not wanting to work those jobs, but I can’t respect a person for degrading someone else for doing it. It is especially rude to condescend or try to make oneself better than them. These jobs are harder than they look, and are just made more difficult when people dirty things up and say, “Someone else will take care of that.” How awful!

People should be courteous and not make these jobs more difficult, and there are ways to do this.

First, please flush the toilet when you are finished. It’s not hard to put your hand on the handle. After all, we don’t live in an age where everything is automatic. If one feel the toilets are too dirty, remember you are (hopefully) about to wash your hands anyway, so stop fretting.

Second, remember that dishwashers have to clean up what you give them, so don’t leave your chewing tobacco grunge in the cups or plates.

I’m not against people’s right to use tobacco, but if one is spitting it in the cups, then they need to take a look at the trash can that stands in front of the doorway at the cafeteria.

Last, please pick up your trash and dispose of it properly. No one likes to sit in the chairs in the Student Center and find candy wrappers inbetween the cushions. It’s even worse walking through the grass and stepping on soda bottles and rotting food scraps. Seriously folks, we’re supposed to be adults here.

Chadron State College is your home now for at least eight or nine months out of the year.

Taking the extra five seconds to take care of your own mess will show your appreciation for the people who have to clean up after you. Remember, this campus is our home, and we need to treat it and its faculty with respect.

A glimpse into the past . . .

– Drunk driver gets pulled over by CSC football players - Oct. 1, 1998 - While driving back from Grand Junction, Colo., three vans carrying CSC football players found themselves stuck behind a drunk driver. They followed the driver on the interstate for 30 miles, video taping the entire situation, and called the cops. When the driver exited the interstate and stopped at a stop sign, the three CSC vans cornered him by parking on either side of him and in front of his vehicle. The players then removed the confused man from his truck, took the keys from the ignition, and waited for the cops. The man was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, and driving with a

revoked license.

OPINION

WWW.CSCEAGLE.COM EDITORIAL — THE EAGLE’S VIEW

CSC has seen many amazing events, people It is not often that an individual can be present to participate in centennial celebrations of any kind.

While we do have smaller anniversaries, they are usually more somber ones like 9/11 or less personal kinds like Google’s 13th birthday.

Fortunately the celebration of the 100 year anniversary of the founding of Chadron State College is a great opportunity to show spirit of our humble institution.

The fact that this is a local endeavor and not a far away milestone makes it all the more personal.

We have much to celebrate this year. We have a college that, despite its size and location, offers plenty to students in academic, athletic, and social opportunities. Such opportunities used to be far fewer in number in 1911, back when there were only two buildings and no nice gardens or grass.

Starting with the early college presidents, Joseph Sparks (1911-1916), Robert I. Elliot (1916-1940), and Wiley G. Brooks (19411954), the college grew in size and status and drew an almost ever-growing student body and enrollment. Even during the Great Depression, enrollment was secure and construction of new buildings and facilities continued.

During the past 100 years, the college has enrolled a fair number of famous and important people, such as Nobel Prize-winning physicist and Manhattan Project worker, Val Logsdon Fitch (at CSC until he was drafted in 1943). Other notables include NFL football player Danny Woodhead and Togiola Tulafono, Governor of American Samoa.

Also during the past century the college as escaped sure destruction. The July 2006 Spotted Tail wildfire, sparked by a lightening strike and fueled by dry grass and trees in Chadron State Park, came dangerously close to engulfing the campus. So close was the fire that Chill was scorched, but the college survived and stands intacts today.

So while you are participating in the dress themes, winning prizes, watching the games, and enjoying the fireworks, just remember how far this college has come from its humble origins.

Happy 100th Birthday CSC!

Saga of hikers shouldn’t be forgotten Last week two American hikers, Josh Fattal and Shane Bauer, were finally released from their captivity in Iran and returned safely home to the US. Unfortunately, there are some in America who would

THE DURATION

On July 31, 2009 three American hikers – journalist Shane Bauer, and Josh Fattal and Sarah Shourd – were hiking near the Iraq-Iran border around the Iraqi Kurdish town of Zalem, which lies only a few miles from the frontier. The border in the mountain range they were trekking, which straddles the border, is very porous to say the least. Aside from a few watchtowers and sparsely posted signs, the frontier is largely unmarked.

According to The Nation, around 2 p.m. village witnesses reported seeing the hikers descending the mountain slopes when uniformed officers of Iran’s national police force signed them towards the Iranian side of the border using “threatening” signs and gestures. When the hikers ignored them, officers marched a few yards into Iraqi territory, and arrested them for “illegal entry” and espionage.

This mentality reveals what the hikers would later describe as constant, horrific screams of terror. Bauer also commented, “There are people in Iran who have been imprisoned for years for simply attending a protest, for writing a pro-democracy, or for worshiping an unpopular faith.”

Treatment was also psychological, as Fattal mentions having to go on repeated hunger strikes just to simply receive mail from family, and over the entire two years only had a total of 15 minutes to speak on the phone.

Other times, the authorities would say their families stopped writing, that they would receive due process of law, and that the Swiss ambassador (who represents US interests) didn’t care about them.

By this time authority for custody of the hikers was under the Revolutionary Guards, the main internal forces of Iran.

To get an idea of the mentality and practices of this country, one needs to look at how justice is served there. According to Islamic Sharia, a virgin woman cannot be put to death under any circumstances. According to the Jerusalem Post, a former guard explained that to get around this dilemma the government will perform a forced wedding ceremony (remember, women have no say in mar-

After 781 days in prison, the hikers were released on bail for a total of $1 million, which was paid for by neighboring Oman. America has welcomed them back, but that can’t be said of everyone.

It is very sad to think that there are people like Bolling who can just easily brush off the suffering of innocent people as deserving.

One can only hope that the feelings of the Arab Spring revolutions will be able to seep into this Persian nation and end this cycle of theocratic and totalitarian oppression.

rather have seen them rot in prison.

Yet last Thursday on the Fox News show “The Five,” when the topic came up conservative cohost Eric Bolling blabbed that Iran was right to accuse the hikers as spies. After criticism from his colleagues, Bolling snapped, “I think [Iran] should have kept them!”

To understand the gravity of this, one must look at their story.

OPINION

WWW.CSCEAGLE.COM

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: There is no denying that the football game last weekend was a nail-biter, and there is also no denying that the fans, student section, athletes, and trainers were absolutely amazing supporters of the game.

We would like to sincerely thank everyone who participated in cheering and supporting the Eagle Football team.

Also, a special thanks to Brad Smith for making the signs for the game to help get the crowd involved.

We couldn’t have done it without all of you.

Having a fan base like we had is exactly the type of support every athlete needs.

We hope to have the same experience this weekend at Homecoming! Thanks again for the wonderful cheering, keep up the good work.

Poll shows students’ negative views on Facebook changes Fifty students were asked the question: Do you find the new changes to Facebook good, bad, or undecided?

Ninety percent of students found the changes to be pointless. The most common complaint was the status feed, as many didn’t need to know others’ statuses “every minute of the day.” Some said that such constant revamping turns them off of Facebook.

BAD

Six percent of students found the changes to be nice, if not simply okay.

A fair number of students said that not receiving so many email notices is a plus.

GOOD

Four percent of students didn’t know what to think about the changes, preferring to see how it works out. Most of them said they don’t spend much time on Facebook anyway.

Facebook reform becomes a hot issue for 2012 presidential candidates Chris Clark Columnist

Presidential candidates are seeking to capitalize on the turmoil caused by recent updates to Mark Zuckerberg’s social networking giant, Facebook. The recent changes mark the umpteenth time in two years that the social network’s format has undergone revamping.

The public uproar over the changes was considerable. Early polls suggest that nearly 40 percent of Americans are upset by the new features, calling them “annoying,” “traitorous” and “heart-breaking.”

Currently, a majority of Americans rank Facebook reform as their most concerning issue for the 2012 presidential election;

higher than immigration, gay marriage, and the economy.

In an emphatic speech Wednesday, Republican presidential candidate Governor Rick Perry assured supporters that he would address Facebook reform appropriately.

“I understand you,” he said, “because I am one of you. I understand because I have to use Facebook too. I understand you are angry, so understand that I will do everything I can to get rid of this stupid News Feed thing and make Facebook not suck anymore.”

President Barack Obama rests on the other side of the issue, advocating for gradual, measured changes in Facebook’s user interface.

“Just because you don’t understand how the News Feed works doesn’t mean it’s stupid,” said in the incumbent candidate. “If you just calmed down for a second you’d get used to it and realize that it’s really not that much different.”

Aside from the revamped News Feed, the updates include the new “ticker” feature, which updates users on their friends’ social

networking actions in real time. Former MySpace CEO Tom Anderson hailed the ticker as, “The most efficient way to cybercreep since the advent of location-tagging.”

Perennial conservative candidate and Tea Party favorite, Ron Paul (R-Texas), has his own take on the ticker.

“Facebook is bloated and wasteful enough as it is” he said. “Without adding a miniFacebook into the upper-right-hand corner of my screen.” Paul’s social networking platform advocates for a return to the traditional values of sites like Friendster and MySpace.

Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann (RMinn.) also weighed in on the issue, attributing the new features to divine intervention.

“Facebook users have been sinning,” said the congresswoman, who is also making a bid for the Republican nomination. “And this is their comeuppance. This is what they get.”

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg seemed unphased by his userbase’s backlash. “Every time we change it they beg for what they had before.

Quick peek into CSC’s long history: historical focal points I

Until the 1930s, the college was known as the Normal College, and it was nicknamed “the Normal.” In fact, above the front doors of Old Admin one can see the inscription “State College,” and the space between the words used to be the word “Normal.” If one looks there in the evening sunlight, outlines of the “Normal” can be seen.

In the 1920s the freshmen had to obey the “Ten Freshman Commandments,” the first being “Thou shalt have no other school before thee” and the tenth being “Thou shalt no[t] covet any Sophomore’s girl or fellow.”

III

Where Memorial Hall stands now there used to be Scott’s House, a place for faculty and staff to live.

When Memmorial was built in 1953 the house was moved just east of Sparks, and moved again into town when the library was built.

IV

On March 31, 2000 the presidential election came to CSC with the arrival of Green Party candidate Ralph Nadar. Speaking on how companies fill foods with unhealthy chemicals and fats, Nadar said, “[Companies] have a new way to keep the economy humming. We sell them crappy products and then spend more money making up for [healthcare costs].”

V

During World War II, there were many individuals from Chadron State College who served their country. Men served in many branches of the armed forces, while women served as nurses and in the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC).

By March of 1945, the college had lost a total of 14 soldiers in both the Pacific and European theaters.

VI

Of the numerous buildings on campus, there are currently five that are listed on the National Register of Historical Places. The structures are the Sparks Hall (built in 1914 as a dorm for women), Miller Hall (built in 1920), Mari Sandoz Center (built in 1929 as the library), Edna Work Hall (built in 1932 as the dorm for women), and Crites Hall (built in 1938 as the dorm for men). The Administration and Hildreth buildings are considered too altered to be listed.

Before the college’s founding in Chadron, the location was originally proposed to be situated in Alliance, one hour south of Chadron.

In the 1940s, the campus Phantom placed about two feet of dirt over the “c” on C-Hill, the very day before students were supposed to re-paint it.

Following a dramatic victory, the Eagles have momentum heading into their homecoming match-up against Colorado State-Pueblo this weekend. The game at Elliott Field features the 2-2 Eagles playing host to the undefeated Colorado State-Pueblo Thunderwolves.

Last weekend CSC matched-up

against the Adams State College Grizzlies at home. With an exciting one point win, the Eagles have evened their season record and put themselves in a tie for first place in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. In a game that featured mistakes by both teams, there was a fair share of excitement.

Michael Madkins (24) of Elk Grove, Calif., started the excitement with a 55-yard scamper for a touchdown. After that, the Eagles offense seemed to

break. For the next two quarters the Adams State defense held the Eagles to zero points.

After tying the game, the Thunderwolves had their own offensive problems. From that point on, the game became one of mistakes. With 17 penalties, three turnovers, and six punts, neither team could find their way to the end zone. see FOOTBALL, Page 11

Brandon Gorsuch, 22, junior of Rapid City, S.D., hits a homerun during the finals of third annual CSC Homerun Derby on Wednesday.

Derby hits home The CSC softball team hosted their third annual Home Run Derby on Monday and Wednesday. The 62 participants raised approximately $400 that went straight to the team. The money will be used to purchase new equipment and traveling gear.

Out of the contestants, five finalists competed Wednesday night after the scrimmage against Western Nebraska Community College. Each contestant had 10 hits against one of the three pitchers from

the CSC softball team.

Brandon Gorsuch, 22, junior of Rapid City, S.D., won the derby with four homeruns; Kevin Lindholm, 21, junior of Eads, Colo., took second with two homeruns; Dustin Stadola, 20, junior of Clarkson, and Isaac Hughes, 21, junior of Hay Springs, tied for fourth with one hit; Jake McCrary, 21, sophomore of Valentine took fifth with no runs. Gorsuch won two gift cards, for a total of $50, and the other finalists received CSC Softball apparel.

Top 10 moments in CSC sports history Chris Clark Reporter 10. Chadron Football triumphs over Montana State University, September 2006 In a stunning upset, the diminutive Chadron State Eagles flounced Montana State University’s D-I Bobcats on their own turf, 35-24. The circumstances of the victory were exacerbated by the fact that the Bobcats were fresh from their own upset of the University of Colorado, Boulder. “I’m so proud of our kids you can’t believe it,” said CSC Head Coach Bill O’Boyle after the game, according to CSC Sports Information, “I thought we’d play them close and I knew our kids would never give up, but I don’t suppose I thought we’d win, if you want to know the truth. It was a great win.

ville became the only Chadron State College athlete to achieve two national championship victories. Hunter dominated Marty Usman of the University of Nebraska, Kearney in the final duel for a 3-2 win. The pair had faced each other three times previously in the season - and Usman had triumphed all three times. Hunter is also the all-time winningest wrestler in Chadron’s history, with a record of 133-32.

8. Chadron Football snatches victory from Abilene Christian University November 2006 In a comeback of epic proportions, Chadron’s Eagles fought through a 29 point deficit in the fourth quarter of this second-round playoff game against Abilene Christian University, Abilene, Texas. Three overtimes later, and Chadron triumphed 76-73 in the highest scoring NCAA Division II game ever.

7. Brad Gamble breaks national heptathlon record, March 2011 When Brad Gamble graduated from Hastings College, he hadn’t planned on competing in track and field anymore. However, after heading to Chadron State College for graduate studies, he was convinced by Eagles track coach Ryan Baily to take advantage of his remaining year for athletic eligibility. That year, Gamble not only clinched the NCAA D-II national championship for the heptathlon, but set a

5,456-point record in the grueling, seven-part event.

The reporter covering the game for The Eagle wrote, “This game will go down in history as one of the greatest victories that our team has ever won.” The game was especially dramatic considering that CU won consecutive RFMAC championships in 1923 and 1924.

It wasn’t until the middle of the fourth quarter when Adams State kicker, David Van Voris (39), a junior from Elizabeth, Colo., was able to hit a 38-yard field goal to break the tie. CSC was unable to answer with a score of their own and found themselves down six after Van Voris connected again from 34.

With about two-and-a-half minutes left, the Eagles most likely were down to their last possession. After muffing the punt, Madkins returned the kickoff to mid-field and gave the Eagles great field position to begin their drive. After an incompletion, junior Brandon Gorsuch (10), of Rapid City, S.D., found senior Jeff Alcorn (84) of Chadron, on two consecutive passes to get down to the 22-yard line. A holding penalty against Adams State gave the Eagles a first-down and put them on the 12-yard line. Two plays later Gorsuch hit senior Jeremy Sondrup (89), of Pleasant Grove, Utah, for what would prove to be the game winning score.

The Thunderwolves would have one more chance with 1:09 remaining. Adams state quickly drove down-field and set themselves up for a game-winning field goal. With four seconds on the clock, Van Voris’ kick sailed wide-left and gave the Eagles the win.

According to Con Marshall, CSC Information Services Officer, their first-place finish at the tournament took place during their first-ever official season. The team celebrated by throwing Coach Wanda Rainbolt into the Armstrong center’s pool.

Woodhead holds numerous other school records and currently plays for the New England Patriots.

Eagles downed by S.D. Hardrockers Derek Larsen Contributor Chadron State volleyball squared off against South Dakota School of Mines Tuesday night in Armstrong Gym. Coming off from back-to-back losses, the Eagles were hoping to get back on the winning track.

Although the match was tight throughout, the Eagles lost in three straight sets – 25-20, 25-19, and 25-17.

With the loss, CSC dropped to 4-11 in the season, while South Dakota Mines improved to 10-3.

Leading the effort for the Hardrockers was senior outside-hitter Madisen Lane, of Fort Collins, Colo. Lane posted a .370 hitting average and tallied a double-double, including 13 kills and 11 digs to go along with four aces.

Keeping the Eagles off balance, freshman Sara Schmidt, of Chaska and sophomore Justine Blade, of Rapid City, S.D., each had eight kills and a hitting average over .200. As a team,

Mines had a .222 hitting average.

For the Eagles, junior Brenna Jungck, of Hay Springs, delivered a team-high 8 kills. Also contributing to the scoring with seven kills, was sophomore middle-hitter Mallory Irvine, of Ravenna.

Irvine led the team with a .278 hitting average junior outside-hitter Mollie Jones, of Longmont Colo., and sophomore defensive specialist Ashley Bargen, of Chadron, kept the score close.

Each had double digit digs, Jones with 11 and Bargen with 10. The Eagles attack was held in check by Mines freshman outside-hitter Carsyn Garcia, of Greeley, Colo., who got 16 digs.

The Eagles have two home games this weekend against American Volleyball Coaches Association Top 25 teams. The number 22 ranked Regis University Rangers will bring a 12-3 record to town Friday with game time set for 7 p.m. Saturday will be a true test, when CSC hosts the eighth ranked Metro State College Roadrunners who are 12-2 on the season with that game scheduled for 6 p.m.

Dr. Lois Veath, vice president of academic affairs, ponders a question asked during an interview conducted by The Eagle.

Dr. Veath retires to spend more time with family “I really enjoyed being a dean and vice president.” Dr. Veath remembers her time at Chadron State College.

Kelsey Amos Reporter EDITORS NOTE: Dr. Veath announced her retirement on Sept. 15 at an all-campus meeting.

Dr. Lois Veath has dedicated 31 years of service to Chadron State College as a science faculty member, dean, and vice president of academic affairs.

Although she doesn’t work directly with students as academic vice president, she hasn’t become disconnected from the student body.

In her office, which gleams with professionalism, she said that she never talks to people from behind her desk, which is a formidable piece of furniture. Instead, she talks with people at a conference table, which shows that Dr. Veath still works alongside faculty members and students, not just behind a desk.

Veath graduated from the University of Wyoming (UW) with a Ph. D. in physics in 1988. She worked as a research assistant at the University of California San Diego Medical

Dr. Lois Veath, vice president of academic affairs, chuckles during an interview The Eagle conducted about her and her time at CSC.

School in the Department of Neurosciences. However, she was always interested in teaching, so she could spark students’ interest in science.

She compared studying science to being Sherlock Holmes. Her investigation led her to Chadron State College, where there was an opening in the science department.

Former students still contact her, through Facebook and in person.

She said that when she goes out to dinner, students have approached her and told her how much they liked her classes.

Later, she became dean of the former School of Arts and Sciences.

Taking on the role of a dean was difficult until she had an epiphany. “Being a dean is a lot like being a parent,” she said in reference to helping colleagues resolve personal issues and professional differences.

“I really enjoyed being a dean and vice president, and working with new faculty members,” she said.

As she moved up at CSC and took on the role of academic vice president, she dealt with the change of being further separated from the students. The most rewarding as-

pect of her career at CSC has been working with students, which she referred to as a “huge privilege.”

“Young people are our greatest resource,” she said. However, working as the academic vice president was also rewarding for Veath.

“I’ve been very happy with the amazing things that have happened during my time as vice president,” she said.

One issue that she wishes could have been resolved differently is the budget cuts. She would have liked to have tightened the budget without cutting academic programs and laying off instructors, but that was not possible, Veath said. “I felt bad about the academic programs that were cut,” she said, mentioning the professors and students who were affected by this decision.

Veath has seen a lot of change during her three decades at CSC, from the number of female professors in the Math and Science Building to the model of education.

“For years I was the only woman in the Math and Science Building. Lots of women teach there now,” she said.

The old education model of

“memorize and regurgitate” is being replaced with interactive learning models where students are actively involved in their own education.

“Education has changed for the better,” she said.

A small statue of a family on the conference table in her office is evidence of the importance of family to Veath. She is looking forward to spending time with her grandchildren after she retires. “I waited a long time to be a grandmother,” she laughed. She and her husband will also spend time in Montana. She joked about having to split her time between the trout in Montana and her grandchildren in Nebraska.

Family is evidently important to Veath, who said that the loss of family, and colleagues, has inspired her to make the most of each day. “All you have is the present. Every person thought they would have another day.” She paused. “They didn’t.”

Veath dealt with changes in her transition from a faculty member to a dean and then to the academic vice president. Now with her upcoming retirement she will be making another transition.

Timeline of Events 1979 – Veath moves to Chadron.

1981 – Veath is hired as a part-time adjunct faculty member.

1988 – Veath graduates the University of Wyoming with a Ph. D. in physics.
