Weber State University’s student senate meeting on April 10 revolved around the closure of the Student Health Center. This followed the April 3 announcement that the Ogden Clinic location on Harrison Boulevard is set to take on the duties of WSU student healthcare.
Daniel Kilcrease, executive director of Student Auxiliaries, returned to answer any questions and concerns that those attending the meeting had about the changes. Kilcrease said that, until further notice, he would serve as WSU’s liaison to Ogden Clinic, promising he would be available to properly address student concerns about the switch.
“I want to say, I welcomed your questions last week, I welcome your questions this week, and I talked to some of the senators and students after the meeting,” Kilcrease
said.
Kilcrease said his door is always open to students who have concerns about student healthcare at Ogden Clinic.
One concern brought up was the loss of pharmaceutical support for WSU students, something that was previously provided by the SHC to a limited extent through its small pharmacy.
“When we entered into the RFP [request for proposal] process back in fall semester, we did not put pharmaceutical services as part of the RFP,” Kilcrease said.
Honors Senator Daniela Salcido Benavides was the first person at the meeting to speak after the room was opened up for questions and comments. Salcido Benavides said she recently had a negative experience at Ogden Clinic. She arrived at Ogden Clinic’s urgent care on April 7 at 4 p.m. and wasn’t seen until over four hours later at 8:30 p.m. Salcido Benavides said she had been told the wait
would be 25 minutes.
Salcido Benavides said the staff didn’t appear to be fully aware of how to handle WSU students. After being asked for her ID, Salcido Benavides said she presented her WSU ID and was told by the staff that they also needed to see her driver’s license. This made her wonder how DACA and undocumented students would be treated at Ogden Clinic.
Salcido Benavides characterized her experience with Ogden Clinic as a WSU student as “disappointing,” citing a lack of inclusivity and the impression that staff at Ogden Clinic were not aware of any special accommodations for WSU students. Kilcrease said he would follow up with Ogden Clinic about Salcido Benavides’ concerns.
Kilcrease said the decision for the switch was primarily motivated by the chance to improve student healthcare services, highlighting that Ogden Clinic has longer hours and is open during fall and spring break and
between semesters.
Another motivation behind the switch was to save money in order to pay for faculty raises. Kilcrease cited the tuition freeze passed by Gov. Spencer Cox in 2022 and demands from the Utah Legislature to increase faculty pay as the reason why cuts had to be made.
According to the email sent out to all WSU students announcing the change in student health services, the new contract service with Ogden Clinic saves 47% in student fees.
Kilcrease said the cut costs from student fees will go to budget cuts due to decreased enrollment and to pay raises for faculty, and won’t be reflected as a decrease in the amount that WSU students will pay in student fees next year.
Several student senators expressed frustrations over the lack of transparency and student involvement in the switch to Ogden Clinic.

The state of Utah has had a record-breaking year for snowfall this winter season. With all of the snow, however, many Utah officials and residents have been concerned about the likelihood of flooding as summer gets closer.
KSL reports that as of April 5, the Natural Resources Conservation Service’s record of Utah’s average snow-water equivalent of 28.8 inches in the 1951-52 snow season was broken. That makes this year’s 29 inches average snow-water equivalent the all-time record, since they began keeping statewide records in the 1930s.
After years of drought and little precipitation, Utah’s land and residents are ill-prepared for the melting of all the snow. Though the snowy season has seemingly come to an end, rising temperatures bring the possibility of flooding to the forefront of Utahn weather worries.
Many cities and counties are already facing a shortage of sandbags, which can prevent water from reaching homes. Sand-
bags are still available to Ogden community members through North Ogden Public Works.
Though the flooding of homes has been a concern, the city of Ogden is most concerned with the rising water levels in the Ogden River and other nearby rivers.
“As spring approaches and warmer weather ensures, the snow and ice have started melting, feeding into the Ogden River and other waterways in Weber County,” Mike McBride, Ogden city management official, said in a press release on March 30. “Every year, there are concerns with the Ogden River, which begins to flow much faster due to the melting snow. In addition, water can be unpredictable due to debris that will be traveling with water. Please be aware of the river and take caution when traveling around it as it will be frigid and moving fast,”
As the snow melts, water levels will rise and water will begin moving faster. Though this can be dangerous, the city of Ogden outlines some tips to stay safe near and around bodies of water: Closely supervise children when near the river, do not let your pet off their leash near the river, if your pet
is in the river, don’t attempt to go after them and stay away from riverbanks.
Ogden urges citizens to be vigilant when around bodies of water or other places susceptible to flooding.
“Be aware of streams, canyons and other areas susceptible to flooding,” McBride said. “Don’t walk or drive through flooded areas with 6 inches of water or more. At 7 MPH of moving water, 9-10 inches will knock an average person off their feet. At 4 MPH of moving water, 3 feet of water will knock an average person off their feet and wash them downstream. During this season, it is wise to wear a life vest if you need to be near the river for any reason.”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that 1.19 drowning deaths occur in Utah per every 100,000 people, as of August 2022. With rising water levels due to the melting of snow, the city of Ogden urges vigilance surrounding bodies of water and to proceed with caution when anywhere with a risk of flash-flooding.
Though we aren’t completely done with snow for the season, the melting of snow brings about worries when it comes to
avalanches, as well as the flooding.
On April 9, an avalanche warning went out to residents of the Northern Wasatch front that lasted until April 12 at 6 a.m. With the possibility of more snow, the National Weather Service warns residents of the Northern Wasatch Front to avoid being on mountains or near the foothills of these mountains.
The extra water does have its upside, however. Because of the great increase in precipitation, Brigham Young University’s College of Life Sciences reports that the Great Salt Lake has risen 3 feet after hitting an all-time low in November 2023.
Ogden city officials and Utah weather officials urge residents to be aware of the extra water and to take the proper precautions as the snow begins to melt. Officials say to avoid being near rivers, mountains, foothills, or other quick moving bodies of water while the snow melts and turns into water.

By BRISA ODENTHAL ReporteroEl estado de Utah ha tenido un año récord de nevadas esta temporada de invierno. Sin embargo, con toda la nieve, muchos funcionarios y residentes de Utah han estado preocupados por la probabilidad de inundaciones a medida que se acerca el verano.
KSL informa que a partir del 5 de abril, se rompió el récord del registro del Servicio de Conservación de Recursos Naturales del equivalente promedio de agua de nieve de Utah de 28.8 pulgadas en la temporada de nieve de 1951-52.
Después de años de sequía y poca precipitación, la tierra y los residentes de Utah no están preparados para el derretimiento de toda la nieve. Aunque la temporada de nieve aparentemente ha llegado a su fin, el aumento de las temperaturas trae la posibilidad de inundaciones al frente de las preocupaciones climáticas de Utah.
Muchas ciudades y condados ya enfrentan una escasez de sacos de arena, lo que puede impedir que el agua llegue a los hogares. Los sacos de arena todavía están disponibles para los miembros de la comunidad de Ogden a través de North Ogden Public Works.
Aunque la inundación de viviendas ha sido motivo de preocupación, la ciudad de Ogden está más preocupada por el aumento del nivel del agua en el río Ogden y otros ríos cercanos.
“A medida que se acerca la primavera y se asegura un clima más cálido, la nieve y el hielo han comenzado a derretirse, alimentando el río Ogden y otras vías fluviales en el condado de Weber”, dijo Mike McBride, funcionario de administración de la ciudad de Ogden, en un comunicado de prensa el 30 de marzo. “Todos los años , hay preocupaciones con el río Ogden, que comienza a fluir mucho más rápido debido al derretimiento de la nieve. Además, el agua puede ser impredecible debido a los escombros que viajarán con el agua. Tenga cuidado con el río
y tenga cuidado al viajar alrededor de él, ya que estará helado y se moverá rápido”.
A medida que la nieve se derrita, los niveles de agua aumentarán y el agua comenzará a moverse más rápido. Aunque esto puede ser peligroso, la ciudad de Ogden describe algunos consejos para mantenerse seguro cerca y alrededor de los cuerpos de agua: Supervise de cerca a los niños cuando estén cerca del río, no deje que su mascota suelte la correa cerca del río, si su mascota está en el río , no intentes ir tras ellos y aléjate de las orillas de los ríos.

Ogden insta a los ciudadanos a estar atentos cuando estén cerca de cuerpos de agua u otros lugares susceptibles a inundaciones.
“Tenga cuidado con los arroyos, cañones y otras áreas susceptibles de inundaciones”, dijo McBride. “No camine ni conduzca por áreas inundadas con 6 pulgadas de agua o más. A 7 MPH de agua en movimiento, 9-10 pulgadas derribarán a una persona promedio. A 4 MPH de agua en movimiento, 3 pies de agua derribarán a una persona promedio y la arrastrarán río abajo. Durante esta temporada, es aconsejable usar un chaleco salvavidas si se necesita estar cerca del río por cualquier motivo”.
Los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades informan que en Utah se producen 1,19 muertes por ahogamiento por cada 100.000 personas, a partir de agosto de 2022. Con el aumento del nivel del agua debido al derretimiento de la nieve, la ciudad de Ogden insta a la vigilancia de los cuerpos de agua circundantes y a proceder con precaución en cualquier lugar con riesgo de inundaciones repentinas.
Aunque la nieve no ha terminado por completo para la temporada, el derretimiento de la nieve genera preocupaciones en lo que respecta a las avalanchas, así como a las inundaciones.
El 9 de abril, se envió una advertencia de avalancha a los residentes del frente norte de Wasatch que duró hasta el 12 de abril a las 6 a. m. Con la posibilidad de más nieve, el Servicio Meteorológico Nacional advierte a los residentes del frente norte de Wasatch que eviten estar en las montañas o cerca al pie de estas montañas.
Sin embargo, el agua adicional tiene su lado positivo. Debido al gran aumento de las precipitaciones, la Facultad de Ciencias de la Vida de la Universidad Brigham Young informa que el Gran Lago Salado se ha elevado 3 pies después de alcanzar un mínimo histórico en noviembre de 2023.
Los funcionarios de la ciudad de Ogden y los funcionarios meteorológicos de Utah instan a los residentes a estar atentos al exceso de agua y a tomar las precauciones adecuadas a medida que la nieve comienza a derretirse. Las autoridades dicen evitar estar cerca de ríos, montañas, colinas u otros cuerpos de agua que se muevan rápidamente mientras la nieve se derrite y se convierte en agua.
Hold onto your Stewart Stadium seats, Wildcats; Weber State University is expected to experience another round of snow this week, along with rain, wind and some long-awaited sunshine.
According to the National Weather Service, students are expected to wake up to rain showers on Thursday, April 13, until 10 a.m. Snow showers are likely to follow sometime before 7 p.m. with an accumulation of 1 inch or less.

Tuesday is currently expected to carry a chance of showers with a temperature around 63 F, according to the National Weather Service.
“I’m in love with the weather,” WSU student Toni Nakai said when asked about the recent weather. “I love winter, but it felt like winter was too much for too long, and now I’m ready for the spring and summer months.”
Within the next week or so students should start to see more flowers in bloom all around campus. Daffodils and crocus are currently in bloom, along with maples, aspens and hyacinth. If you know where to look there are many flowers in bloom, according to Weber State University Professor Jim Cohen and Professor of Botany Jene Bozniak.
Agárrense a sus asientos del estadio Stewart, Wildcats; se espera que la Universidad Estatal Weber experimente otra ronda de nieve esta semana, junto con lluvia, viento y un poco de sol tan esperado.
Según el Servicio Meteorológico Nacional, se espera que los estudiantes se despierten con lluvias el jueves, 13 de abril, hasta las 10 a.m. Es probable que las lluvias de nieve sigan en algún momento antes de las 7 p.m. con una acumulación de 1 pulgada o menos. El viernes comenzará el fin de semana con un cielo parcialmente soleado y temperaturas en torno a los 49 grados Fahrenheit. El sábado se espera que sea soleado con una temperatura de 58 F. El domingo se prevé que mantenga el sol con una temperatura de 68 F, según el Servicio Meteorológico Nacional.
Los Wildcats pueden esperar que el lunes vuelva a ser soleado, con un cambio esper-
ado en el tiempo por la noche con cielos nublados y probabilidad de lluvias.
Para el martes se espera una probabilidad de lluvias con una temperatura en torno a los 63 F, según el Servicio Meteorológico Nacional.
“Estoy enamorado del tiempo”, dijo el estudiante de la WSU Toni Nakai cuando se le preguntó sobre el tiempo reciente. “Me encanta el invierno, pero sentía que el invierno era demasiado durante demasiado tiempo, y ahora estoy listo para los meses de primavera y verano”.
En la próxima semana, los estudiantes empezarán a ver más flores por todo el campus. Actualmente están floreciendo narcisos y crocus, además de arces, álamos temblones y jacintos. Si sabes dónde mirar hay muchas flores en flor, según el profesor de la Universidad Estatal Weber Jim Cohen y la profesora de Botánica Jene Bozniak.

For the sixth-year straight, Weber State University’s Spirit Squad took home the title at the 2023 National Cheer Association/National Dance Alliance Collegiate Nationals on April 8 in Daytona Beach, Florida.
Weber State started this year by moving up from Division I to Division IA, the country’s highest division. Competing in Advanced Large Coed Division I for the Grand National Championship, Weber State finished ahead of Texas Tech University, Clemson University, the University of Louisville and Oklahoma State University with a total score of 98.0833.
“For a small FCS school to go into that category — we just wanted to represent our university and our program well, and we did just that,” Summer Willis, Wildcat Spirit Squad advisor, said. “It was really exciting.”
Adding to the trophy case, seniors Elsa Hassett and Michael Androsov won the partner stunt competition, a contest which saw the Wildcats take five of the top six spots.
“No, I’m not lucky, I’m blessed,” Hassett said on Twitter. “I can’t believe I’m a 6x NCA College National Champ.”
Weber State also placed second in the Advanced Small Coed Division I competition and third in the group stunt competition.
With a group consisting of senior Carli
Gable, freshman Brynn Beesely, sophomore Sage Hardy and junior Kylee Kimball, the Wildcats competed in the All-Girl division for the first time, placing third overall.
As for dance, Weber State finished third in both Jazz Division I with a score of 95.1143 and Hip Hop with a score of 93.6571.
“We couldn’t be prouder of what we left on the floor,” the Wildcat dance team said on Instagram. “We gave it our absolute all and that’s all we could’ve wanted.”
A daughter of two Weber State graduates, Willis’ grandfather was Wallace Morris, the football player from the 1920’s that Waldo the Wildcat is named after. This year’s title marks her seventh with the Wildcats, win-
ning the first in 2009.
“To get that win and then get the trophy, too? That’s coming full circle,” Willis said. “Just a dream come true. To have the best team in the nation is just really amazing for Utah and for our community.”
Weber State is currently holding cheer tryouts, with packets and tryout videos due by April 25. The first round finalists are set to be announced on May 1.
Durante el sexto año consecutivo, el Spirit Squad de la universidad Weber State recibió el título del campeonato nacional universitario de la National Cheer Association y la National Dance Alliance el ocho de abril en Daytona Beach, Florida.
Weber State empezó este año con su ascenso desde la división I a la división I-A, la división más alta del país. Durante la gran competencia nacional Weber State compitió en la división I avanzado grande y mixta. Weber State terminó delante de la universidad Texas Tech, la universidad Clemson, la
universidad de Louisville y la universidad Oklahoma State con un puntaje total de 98.0833.
“Que una pequeña escuela FCS fuera en esa categoría — solamente queríamos representar nuestra universidad y programa bien, y lo hicimos”, dijo Summer Willis, la consejera del Wildcat Spirit Squad. “Era emocionante”.
Añadiendo a la vitrina de trofeos, Elsa Hassett y Michael Androsov, ambos estudiantes del año final, ganaron la competencia de acrobacia de pareja, un evento durante el cual los Wildcats terminaron con cinco de las seis mejores posiciones.
“No, no tengo suerte, soy bendecido”, dijo Hassett en Twitter. “Es difícil creer que he ganado la competencia nacional universitaria NCA seis veces”.
Weber State también obtuvo la segunda posición de la competencia avanzada pequeña y mixta de la División I y la tercera de la competencia de acrobacia de grupo. Con un grupo que consiste de Carli Gable, estudiante del año final, Brynn Beesley, del primer año, Sage Hardy, del segundo año, y Kylee Kimball, del tercer año, los Wildcats compitió en la división femenina por primera vez con la tercera posición en total.
En el baile, Weber State obtuvo la tercera posición en el Jazz de División I con un puntaje de 95,1143 y también el Hip Hop con un puntaje de 93,6571.

Willis es hija de dos antiguos alumnos de Weber State y su abuelo se llamaba Wallace Morris, un jugador de fútbol americano y la inspiración para el nombre de Waldo el Wildcat. El título de este año es el séptimo que Willis ha tenido con los Wildcats, el primero que ganaron fue en 2009.
“¿Obtener esa victoria y recibir el trofeo también? Eso es cerrar el círculo”, Dijo Willis. “Es un sueño hecho realidad. Tener el mejor equipo del país es simplemente asombroso para Utah y para la comunidad”.

The final game of any team’s season at Weber State University marks the end to some college careers. Some student athletes continue on into professional leagues and some hang up their uniforms for the last time.
“When the end comes, I think you see an urgency about having to go out into the real world and you see a renewed focus,” Eric Duft, Wildcat head basketball coach, said. “The future is not exactly set, and they’re going to have to work really hard and figure out some things.”
Graduating this semester, some notable Wildcats will land opportunities to play professional sports. Recently, Weber State’s football team hosted their Pro Day, giving professional scouts an opportunity to analyze running back Josh Davis, wide receiver Ty MacPherson, tight end Justin Malone and safety Desmond Williams.
Last year, defensive lineman Jared Schiess and linebacker Sherwin Lavaka were invited to NFL rookie camps. Standout punt returner Rashid Shaheed brought in two touchdowns in his NFL debut after signing with the New Orleans Saints during 2022’s free agency. Guards Zahir Porter and Junior Ballard from the men’s basketball team are leaving as well. While not graduating, Wildcat forward Dillon Jones announced on an episode of “Cat Tales - Weber State Athletics Podcast”
that he will be declaring for the NBA draft this season. However, if no deal is reached, he will be returning for another season at Weber State.
“When you get to the professional ranks, there’s a lot of guys wanting those spots, and so little things matter,” Duft said. “We tell them all the time little things are going to matter. ‘Are you a good teammate? Are you on time? Are you coachable? Are you willing to adapt to different roles? Are you a guy that’s available? Can you be counted on?’ It’s just a very competitive environment in professional basketball, and those guys have to learn how to separate themselves.”
Former Wildcat guard Koby McEwen recently played for a Canadian professional basketball team, the Hamilton Honey Badgers, winning a CEBL title last season. McEwen, who graduated from Weber State last spring, announced on Feb. 27 that he’d signed with Raptors 905, an NBA G League team based out of Mississauga, Ontario. As of now, McEwen’s played seven games with the team, averaging 4 points.
Guard JJ Overton, who also graduated last year, is currently playing in Europe for the Arantia Larochette. Playing 741 minutes over 22 games, Overton currently averages 27 points per game. Former Wildcat Dontay Bassett recently represented Opava in the FIBA Europe Cup as well.
While a senior’s college career ends after graduation, their ties to the program remain.
“We’ve been fortunate here,” Duft said. “A lot of our guys have gone on to play professionally and so we just kind of naturally stay in touch with them because we’ll have agents calling or teams calling and we’re relaying information, trying to help them figure it out.”
Duft said that not too many weeks go by where a member of the team’s staff isn’t in contact with a graduated player. For athletes who don’t pursue a career in professional sports, Duft says they also keep in touch, saying that Weber State has heard from players who graduated 15 years ago.
“We stay in good contact with all those guys,” Duft said. “We always say, ‘You don’t have to be a professional player.’ We want to make sure though that we’re turning out
guys who are going to be good citizens, good husbands, good fathers. Those things are important to us as well.”
After years of experience with former students, Duft said the three key attributes of a successful graduate are competitiveness, accountability and passion.
“The lessons that you’ve learned, it’s time to put those out there,” Duft said. “You’ve got to rely on those principles that you’ve learned here and then you’ve got to go make a way for yourself.”

With the 2023 NBA regular season officially over, the hunt for a championship begins for the league’s top teams, and it’s time to look at who has the most potential to reach the NBA Finals.
Eastern Conference
In the Eastern Conference, the Milwaukee Bucks remain the favorite to take home the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy in this year’s playoffs. The Bucks ended the regular
season with a 58–24 record and were able to hold onto that No. 1 seed.
Entering the playoffs as the reigning Eastern Conference champions, the Boston Celtics secured the No. 2 seed with a 57–25 record. Last year, the Celtics fell 4–2 to the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals. Currently, Boston has the best point differential in the league with 6.5.
Small forward Jayson Tatum leads the Celtics in points, averaging 30.1 points and 8.8 rebounds. Tatum is currently predicted to land a spot on the All-NBA First team this year.
One of the other three teams predicted to represent the East in the Finals is the Philadelphia 76ers. Led by MVP candidate center Joel Embiid, the 76ers finished the season with a 54–28 record.Philadelphia currently has the third-best defense in the league, allowing only 110.9 points per game.
Seen as an underdog, some fans believe
the Cleveland Cavaliers could have a Cinderella-story run. Led by former Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell, the Cavaliers currently have the best defense, allowing only 106.9 points per game, and the second best point differential, at 5.3 in the league.
Western Conference
While many believe that there are only a few contenders in the East, the West looks to have more opportunity.
The Denver Nuggets have the No. 1 seed in the conference with a 53–29 record but because of their troubled history in the postseason, many do not see them as an NBA Finals contender.
The Phoenix Suns look like the team to beat in the West, with a lineup consisting of superstar forward Kevin Durant, all-star guard Devin Booker and NBA veteran Chris Paul. While they sit at only No. 4 in the conference, the team has looked significantly
stronger since Durant returned to the lineup. The Suns appeared last in the Finals during the 2021 season, where they lost to the Milwaukee Bucks. The Suns will face the Los Angeles Clippers on April 16 at 6 p.m.
The reigning NBA Finals champions, the Golden State Warriors, are currently slated to take on the No. 3-seeded Sacramento Kings. Despite finishing sixth in the conference, the Warriors strong playoff history makes them contenders for the title.
The odds for the 2023 NBA Finals will depend on various factors, including team performance, player injuries, and how well the in-season/off-season acquisitions perform on their new teams.
This year’s NBA playoffs is about as unpredictable as it gets, with three strong NBA MVP candidates and teams from each conference having the best odds for this year’s title. The 2023 playoffs will be one worth watching.
