VALENTINE’S DAY FROM A EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVE
By HAVEN MILLER Reporter
As a European who grew up on military bases for almost my entire life, Valentine’s Day was never celebrated by anyone in my circle. In Europe, Valentine’s Day is more of a private affair if couples decide to celebrate it at all. There are no loud, grand displays of love or Instagram posts dedicated to their partner. Instead, Valentine’s Day is celebrated behind closed doors, between couples in a private fashion. When I moved to America, most things about the United States were a culture shock, especially regarding holidays. Valentine’s Day was one of the holidays that confused me the most. I went from seeing low-key affairs to love declarations thrown out for the entire world. I didn’t understand the culture of inviting the world to look at your relationship and open it for judgment.
Despite my view on Valentine’s Day and how I grew up with it, it is one of my least favorite holidays. I never
understood why Valentine’s Day was so big; it’s just an excuse for bad partners to pretend that they have been good partners throughout the year on a single day. In my opinion, if you truly love someone and want to be with them, then you show them love, respect, and kindness every day of the year, not just a single holiday.
However, the longer I have spent in this country, the more I have grown used to holidays that don’t make any sense to me but are loved by my friends and family. Whenever Valentine’s Day comes around, an iteration of the holiday, “Galentines,” is hosted.
I’ve found that Valentine’s Day has become less about romantic relationships and more about platonic friendships in my life. It’s become a day when my friends and I can celebrate our friendships with each other. Galentine’s has become a time to enjoy older romantic movies, gossip while making dinner and host arts and crafts. As trivial as it seems, it has been something all of my friends look forward to.
The majority of us have chaotic schedules with school
and work that are hard to work around. Deciding what to do every week and finding specific days when we can get together is a struggle. So, to be able to use Valentine’s Day as an excuse to find time to see each other and celebrate Galentine’s, even if only for a few hours, has made the holiday slightly more tolerable.
Valentine’s Day is nothing more than a commercialized and over-glamourized holiday, one that has confused me ever since I first celebrated it in America. I don’t think I will ever truly enjoy Valentine’s Day, but I do love it for what it has brought into my life because it has allowed me to keep valuable friendships strong.

FINE FEATHERED FRIENDS AT ADA LINQUIST PLAZA AND POND
PHOTOS & STORY
By SHAWN PENROD Photographer
Here at Weber State University, there’s more life on campus than just students and faculty. When entering the campus off of Harrison Boulevard, around the back of the Miller Administration Building, the Ada Lindquist Plaza and Pond can be found. This is where students can relax, and many geese and ducks reside, adding much character to the pond. In 2021, the pond was drained, and volunteers from Wasatch Domestic Waterfowl Resource rounded up around sixty ducks and geese since, without their water, they would be open to predators. While some were adopted, permanently relocated or brought back, nothing has stopped random locals from dropping their unwanted waterfowl off at the pond. Students and faculty have been advised not to feed the waterfowl since it could make bad habits for them. Still, these feathered creatures have been and continue to remain an unofficial Weber mascot.

Aquí en la Universidad de Weber State, hay más vida en el campus que solo los estudiantes y profesores. Cuando entras al campus por Harrison Boulevard, alrededor de la parte trasera del Edificio de Administración Miller, se encuentran la Plaza Ada Lindquist y el Estanque. Aquí es donde los estudiantes se relajan, y donde muchos gansos y patos residen, añadiendo mucho carácter al estanque. En 2021, se vació el estanque y los voluntarios de Wasatch Domestic Waterfowl Resource recogieron unos sesenta patos y gansos, ya que sin agua estarían expuestos a los depredadores. Aunque algunos fueron adoptados, reubicados permanente o devueltos, nada ha impedido que algunos vecinos dejen en el estanque sus aves acuáticas no deseadas. Se ha aconsejado a estudiantes y profesores que no alimenten a las aves acuáticas, ya que podría crear malos hábitos. Aun así, estas criaturas emplumadas han sido y siguen siendo una mascota no oficial de Weber.

WSU BASKETBALL: BIG SKY STANDINGS AFTER RECENT GAMES
By COLLYN COWLES Editor
Weber State men’s basketball faced a rollercoaster week, securing a thrilling win against Northern Arizona University on Feb. 3 before falling to Idaho State University on Feb. 8 at the Dee Events Center.
Weber State vs. Northern Arizona
Weber State head coach Eric Duft emphasized the need for a fast start against Northern Arizona, and the Wildcats delivered. Weber State shot 12 of 16 from the field early, building a commanding 35–15 lead in the first half. The ’Cats led 42–30 at halftime, but NAU fought back, eventually taking a one-point lead with just over a minute left.
Blaise Threatt responded in the clutch, converting a three-point play to put WSU back in front. NAU’s Trent McLaughlin answered with a go-ahead three-pointer, but Viljami Vartiainen came up big, draining a three with 22 seconds left. A key defensive stop and two Trevor Hennig free throws sealed Weber State’s 77–73 victory. Threatt dominated, scoring a careerhigh 34 points on 12-of-18 shooting while adding 10 rebounds for his second career double-double. In his first collegiate start, Hennig contributed 14 points, and Vartiainen added another 10. The Wildcats shot 47% from the field while holding NAU to 38%.
“It was a gut-check win,” Duft said. “We had to reinvent ourselves a couple of times, and the guys responded.”
Weber State vs. Idaho State Momentum from Monday didn’t carry over, as Weber State fell 72–67 to Idaho State. The Bengals capitalized on turnovers and rebounding, out-rebounding WSU 35–27 and forcing 15 turnovers.
The Wildcats trailed 37–31 at halftime but surged back in the second half, briefly taking a 55–53 lead with under 10 minutes left. However, Idaho State’s Dylan Darling had a career night with 30 points, and the
Bengals executed down the stretch.
Freshman Trevor Hennig built on his strong Monday performance, posting a career-high 21 points while hitting all four of his three-point attempts. Threatt added 20 points, five rebounds, and five assists but appeared to suffer an ankle injury late in the game.
Weber State had chances late, cutting the deficit to one with under a minute remaining, but Idaho State iced the game at the free-throw line, handing the Wildcats their third straight home loss to the Bengals.
“We made some good plays, but we’ve got to be tougher in key moments,” Hennig said. “We’ll learn from this.”
Looking Ahead
Weber State (9–16, 3–8 Big Sky) now hits the road for matchups against Montana State and Montana. With senior leaders like Dyson Koehler out due to a broken wrist and Miguel Tomley sidelined with a serious medical issue, the Wildcats face an uphill battle for the remainder of the season. However, young standouts like Hennig and
Vartiainen provide hope for this late-season push.
With March approaching, Weber State must find consistency if they hope to make a Big Sky tournament run.

Women’s Basketball Split Road Trip, Secure Overtime Thriller Against Idaho State
The Weber State women’s basketball team wrapped up a challenging road trip with a dramatic overtime victory against Idaho State after falling short against Northern Arizona earlier in the week.
Weber State vs. Northern Arizona
In their first game of the road swing, the Wildcats traveled to Flagstaff, Arizona, to take on Northern Arizona. Weber State started strong, jumping out to a 13–4 lead after an 8–0 run. The Lumberjacks responded with aggressive defense, forcing turnovers and taking control in the second quarter. By halftime, NAU had built a 42–31 lead.
The Wildcats fought back in the second half, cutting the deficit to six early in the third quarter. They continued to push, but the Lumberjacks maintained their advantage, leading 63–56 heading into the final frame. Weber State made one last run, cutting the lead to five points in the closing minutes, but they ultimately fell 81–76.
Kendra Parra led the Wildcats with 22 points, marking her third game of the season with 20 or more. Antoniette EmmaNnopu added 14 points and 10 rebounds
for her ninth double-double of the season.
Weber State finished the game shooting 45% from the field and 36.4% from three-point range, nearly matching NAU’s shooting numbers.
Weber State vs. Idaho State
Determined to bounce back, Weber State took on Idaho State in Pocatello. The Wildcats came out firing, hitting six of their first eight three-pointers and taking a commanding 30–16 lead in the second quarter. Idaho State chipped away at the
deficit, eventually taking a 57–56 lead in the fourth quarter.
With less than two minutes remaining, Idaho State led 69–65, putting Weber State’s chances in jeopardy. However, the Wildcats responded as Parra hit a fallingdown layup, and Smith banked in a buzzerbeating layup to force overtime.
In the extra period, Idaho State found themselves in foul trouble, and Weber State took advantage, scoring all 10 of their overtime points from the free-throw line to secure a 79–76 victory. Smith led the Wildcats with 24 points and seven rebounds, while Parra added 21 points.
Looking Ahead
Weber State (9–12, 6–5 Big Sky) will return home for key matchups against Montana State on Feb. 13 and Montana on Feb. 15 as they continue their push in the Big Sky standings.
