‘CATS FALL IN TENNIS OPENER By COLTON PACK

Reporter

On Jan. 18, the women’s tennis team took on BYU for their ﬁrst duel match of the spring season. Weber State University lost 2-5 to the Cougars at the Ogden Athletic Club. BYU started off by winning two doubles matches and taking the advantage point over Weber. The ‘Cats won two of the following four singles matches, thanks to Freshman Megan Lombardi and Senior Caitlin Herb.

Lombardi played in her first collegiate tennis match as the number six single after just arriving from South Africa this semester. “It was really exciting,” Lombardi said. “I’m from South Africa, and we don’t have this level of intensity and competitiveness.” In the three set match, Lombardi won the first two sets, giving Weber State their first team score. Also a native of South Africa, Herb won her match 2–1. Herb’s win added a second point to the overall team score. She began the match by losing the first

set 6–0, putting herself in a win or bust scenario for the next two sets. Herb fought back in the second set with an impressive 6–1 victory, forcing a decisive set three, where she came out victorious in a 6–4 ﬁnal set. “I just stuck with it and kept cool,” Herb said. “I won in the third set so it was exciting.” BYU capped off the day winning the last two singles, ending the dual match 2-5. “I’m very happy with the way the ladies played today,” head coach Mark Roberts said. “It was an excellent close match with a very strong BYU team. It just slipped

away from us at the end. It was a great performance by the whole team and a great start to our spring season.” Weber State saw some improvement. For the last two seasons, BYU has swept the Wildcats 7–0. Weber State falls to 0-1 on the season and heads to a doubleheader with Lewis-Clark State and Boise State University on Jan. 25 in Boise. The ‘Cats return to Ogden to play Akron on Jan. 31 for their next home match. Comment on this story at signpost.mywebermedia.com

A new arcade-cabinet video game boogied into the social scene at Wildcat Lanes & Game Center in Shepherd Union. Dance Dance Revolution Extreme has quickly become a popular addition among students, according to Alika Pepper, a front desk employee at the bowling alley. “Generally, people are excited when they see it,” Pepper said. The Shepherd Union recreation manager, Marissa Questereit, said last year Wildcat Lanes received funding to bring the Dance Dance Revolution machine to the building upon students' requests. The DDRE machine is located directly at the facility’s entrance. The arcade game is older than some of the freshmen and sophomores at Weber State University, though

recognizable to anyone who grew up in the late 90s and early 2000s. Since then, the game has become a staple in arcades and homes across the globe. For 50 cents, Wildcats can dance to any song off of the arcade game’s 69 song track list, ranging from chart-topping hits like Queen’s “We Are The Champions” to"Bust a Move" by Young MC. For students with a more competitive streak, there are Guinness World Records to be broken. In 2012, Californian Carrie Swidecki broke the record for the “longest marathon on a dance or rhythm game,” by dancing for 49 hours. Students can put their best dancing skills to the test by selecting the mode and difﬁculty level they would like to play, ranging from beginner to advanced. "I play the game all the time,"

Questereit said. "I like that there's different song choices, and I just like that it brings people together." Students are able to groove any time Wildcat Lanes is open. Multiple groups and clubs can use the space for parties and reservations. Sheldon Cheshire, the coordinator of leadership programs for the Student Involvement and Leadership office, remembers playing DDR in his days as a college student. He said their office has already made the trip downstairs to play together a couple times. “It’s a fun little office thing to do," Cheshire said. "It builds camaraderie and it’s healthy." Whether taking a break from busy class schedules, or competing in a tournament with fellow Wildcats, students are always welcome to use the machine.

REBIRTH OF WSU'S RADIO STATION

MyWeberMedia.com| January 24, 2019 | 5

By KIERSTYNN KING Reporter

Weber State University's radio station, KWCR, is integrating a new art competition for Wildcats in an attempt to ramp up their familiarity on campus and throughout the community. KWCR is a non-proﬁt, student-run radio station. Although the station mainly plays alternative music, they occasionally branch out to different genres, including up-and- coming local bands. “We love promoting local bands," said Bailey Grundy, the assistant musical director. "It gets their voices out there, and we also introduce some really cool music." Within the last few years, the radio station shifted from airing on FM radio to streaming solely online. As a result, the popularity has steadily decreased. In an attempt to make themselves MARISSA WOLFORD | The Signpost seen and heard, KWCR is hosting an art KWCR wants to engage with the student competition every month to encourage body by hanging up students' art in the studio.

students to submit creative artwork for the station. “The walls in the station are dry, and we could use some cool art to hang up. We want to hang up art everywhere throughout the station if we can," said Kieffer Allen, the general manager of the radio station. Allen said the art doesn't necessarily have to promote the radio statio. Their main goal is to get as many students as possible involved in the competition each month. "Getting more students involved whether they're art students or not is something we really want," Allen said. At the end of each month, the winner's artwork will be posted around the station and in the giant window outside of the station. “We get to promote ourselves as well as beautiful art, and who doesn’t love looking at beautiful art all the time?” Grundy said. Not only will the winner of the con-

test's artwork be displayed, they will also win a mystery prize pack, containing different prizes each month. “If this art contest goes well, we want to be able to start bringing back some really cool things for students to get involved in,” said Kole Prestwich, the stations production manager. Prestwich said they have discussed tabling once a week and hosting a battle of the bands for Weber State students as other ways to increase familiarity. "Anything we can do to get students involved again will be great because we want them to see how special the station really is," Prestwich said. Students interested in participating in the monthly art competitions can contact the KWCR radio station for more information.

HARDING EARNS THIRD

PLAYER OF THE WEEK

The Signpost

By BRANDON MAY Desk Editor

After a strong two-game win streak, the Weber State University men’s basketball team finds themselves alone in first place, and junior Jerrick Harding earned his third Big Sky Player of the Week award. Between the two games against Idaho State University and the University of Northern Colorado, Harding averaged 22 points per game, 53 percent from the field, 10 of 10 from the free throw line, 2.5 steals and 2.5 assists in Weber State’s 76–59 win over the Bengals and 78–64 win over the Bears. In Thursday’s matchup against Idaho State, Harding shot 10 of 16 for 28 points and had a career high of four steals in the win. In the first place showdown, he added 16 points, making 5 of 12 shots. He had season highs with three assists and

two blocks over the Bears. Harding is second in scoring in the Big Sky Conference and ranked number 22 in all of college basketball in scoring. Harding earned his ﬁrst Big Sky Player of the Week on Nov. 20, when the ‘Cats went 2-1 in the Junkanoo Jam in the Bahamas. Harding averaged 26 points, ﬁve rebounds and 2.3 steals per game. Harding’s second Player of the Week award was over winter break when he scored 36 points in the win over Delaware State. Harding and the ‘Cats travel north to take on the Montana State Bobcats on Jan. 24, before heading to Missoula to take on the Montana Grizzlies. Weber State returns home on Jan. 31 to take on the Portland State Vikings. Comment on this story at signpost.mywebermedia.com

WSU OUTDOOR PROGRAM TAKES STUDENTS ON A SNOWY ADVENTURE

By ASHLYND GREENWOOD Reporter

Weber State University’s Outdoor Program took students, faculty and the community of Ogden on a full moon snowshoe hike Jan. 18 as part of their Winter Trail Series. The activity was based at North Fork Park on the Porcupine trail. The program provided equipment, the ride up to the trail-head and hot cocoa to those participating in the event. “My favorite part about leading trips is the places we get to go and connecting with many different people,” trip leader Kayla Dreher said. Canyoneering trips are her favorite ac-

tivity, but she said these full moon snowshoe hikes are a close second. The hike, although taking place mostly in the dark, had tiki lights guiding the way along the trail. The moon, at its waxing gibbous phase with 90 percent illumination, also provided for a bright night. North Fork Park is one out of 100 places in the United States that is part of the International Dark Sky Places, a certiﬁcation given to those who aim to preserve and protect their dark skies at a very high standard. This natural conservation encourages millions of visitors each year to enjoy the constellations and crisp mountain air. According to the IDA, North Fork has four qualities that set it apart from other

Dark Sky Parks including urban adjacency, a focus on wildlife, an extensive outreach program and public art incorporating dark skies themes. With these characteristics combined, the park offers a unique dark sky experience for the approximate 2.2 million residents near the Wasatch Front. The Outdoor Program at WSU offers high quality guided adventures to students and the general public for free. Their main goal with the Winter Trail Series is to allow residents the opportunity to hike in Ogden’s backyard and bring the community together. “When you are all stuck in the car together, you start to become friends with everybody there,” Dreher said. “No matter where you come from, if you’re an

exchange student or if you have lived in Ogden your whole life, we will all talk to each other, and it’s a great interaction that Weber State facilitates.” The program’s mission is to promote both development and adventure through engaging experiences to help students learn about themselves and work as a team. Group Exercise Leader Lori Harlin said, “I don’t think people take enough advantage of everything that the Outdoor Program has. Students here are very fortunate to have this program.”

Utah winters are a time for outdoor activities like skiing and snowboarding. However, residents have lately been forced to remain indoors due to bad air quality. With a blanket of inversion spreading throughout the region, a new layer of dirty air has surfaced in communities along the Wasatch Front. According to Weber State University Sustainability Manager Jennifer Bodine, there are three areas that raise particular concern. The cities of Provo, Logan and Salt Lake City currently do not meet the Environmental Protection Agency’s requirements for fine

particulate matter (PM 2.5), a common air pollutant that can have dangerous effects when levels are high. Although exposure to the toxin can be especially unsafe for individuals with pre-existing conditions like asthma, lung or heart trouble, doctors say that it is something everybody should avoid. When inhaled, PM 2.5 can get deep into the lungs and bloodstream, causing a variety of health problems and even death in extreme cases. Some of the most common effects include cardiac arrhythmias, heart attacks and bronchitis. “Air pollution’s disease burden is virtually the same as that from cigarette smoke — the

association is weaker but still significant,” the Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment website said. “Virtually every type of lung disease is caused or exacerbated by air pollution.” In order to prevent others from experiencing any of these conditions, the state Department of Environmental Quality provides a constant update of pollution levels on their website, warning residents to stay indoors on bad air days. The site uses the Air Quality Index, a metric which ranks air quality on a color coded system. A good air day typically contains zero to 12 micro-grams of particulate per cubic meter of air whereas an unhealthy or

hazardous day can contain anywhere from 55.5 to 250.5. Utah is ranked among some of the worst in the nation in regards to pollution levels. According to the American Lung Association’s 2018 “State of the Air” report, the Salt Lake-Provo-Orem area ranked 8th out of over 200 cities as having the worst shortterm particle pollution. Logan was also highly positioned on the list, coming in at number 11. “The air here is definitely not good, but it’s a naturally occurring event,” WSU Student Sustainability Coordinator Kyia Hill said. Although pollution is present year-round,

it is especially worsened during the wintertime because of inversions. Under typical atmospheric conditions, air is warmer near the ground and becomes colder as it moves upward. However, during an inversion, the situation “inverts” when a pocket of cold air moves under a layer of warm air, trapping all pollutants and emissions below the surface. “It’s like closing the garage door while idling your car,” Hill said. “If we’re having a week-long inversion, and pollution doubles everyday, we could go from a green air day to a red air day in the span of two days.” Although citizens can’t help that inversions happen, they can lessen the impact

by maintaining what chemicals are put into the air. According to UCAIR, PM 2.5 is composed of primary and secondary particulate. Secondary particulate, which makes up the majority of the pollutant, is commonly emitted from the tailpipes of automobiles. “If we just cut down one day a week of not commuting somewhere, we could save a lot of emissions and therefore a lot of our health,” Hill said. Because Weber State is a commuter school, members of the Energy and Sustainability Office have organized a challenge to help motivate students to reduce their mobile emissions. “People are coming to our campus driv-

ing in single-occupancy vehicles. Therefore, we have a bigger carbon footprint,” Hill said. “I do the Clear the Air Challenge to address that issue and get people to understand their own impact.” The Clear the Air Challenge is a monthlong competition throughout the state of Utah that encourages local businesses, universities and communities to cut back on emissions during the month of February. As part of the challenge, students at Weber have the chance to compete internally against other organizations and departments for prizes. The challenge will focus on two primary scopes: direct and indirect emissions. Direct

emissions refer to pollutants released from heating campus buildings while indirect are primarily from automobiles and students commuting to campus. As part of their indirect scope, the program urges students to take advantage of the UTA Ed Pass, a free way to access public transportation through the FrontRunner, TRAX and UTA buses. This will help contribute to the school’s overall goal of becoming carbon-neutral by 2050.

The Weber State University track teams experienced a successful start to 2019, as the men’s and women’s teams each won five events at the Stacy Dragila Open in Pocatello on Jan. 11 and 12. In the women’s 3,000 meter run, the Wildcats brought home the top three finishes. Sophomores Lexie Thompson, Michayla Miller and Abby Lawrence finished in first through third place with times of 9:55.11, 10:18.56 and 10:24.38, respectively. After the race, Thompson’s time was adjusted to 9:42.40, which is currently the fastest time in the Big Sky Conference. Another new conference high was established in the shot put, as sophomore Sophie Merritt led the way with 48-01.25 points. Her time ranks sixth in WSU history. Freshman Losa Latu and junior Deidre Wilson placed second and third in the competition, respectively. In the high jump, sophomore Annie Watts recorded the top mark in the conference with a time of 5-07.75. “We had some great performances overall. Our high jumpers had great marks, with Watts tying her all time mark,” women’s head coach Paul Pilkington said. “The throwers had a great showing as well as they swept the podium and Sophie Merritt posted on our all-time list. Lexie Thompson posted a great 3K time.” On the men’s side, sophomore Daunte Atkinson won the 200 meter dash with a time of 22.19. Freshman Tracen Warnick achieved first place in the mile run. His time was 4:12.72, the second fastest in the conference. In the 3,000 meter run, sophomore Krey Ramsey placed second in the Big Sky with an adjusted time of 8:38.87. In the 60 meter hurdles, sophomore Caleb Whitney took home second place with a personal best time of 8.25. It was also the ninth fastest in Weber State history. The Wildcats took home the trophy for the 1600 meter relay with a time of 3:20.29. On the pole vault, senior Keaton Pace finished third with a mark of 1507.00, seventh best in WSU history. “In this meet, I wanted to see that they were focused and mentally tough, and I saw some of that,” men’s head coach Corbin Talley said. “Keaton Pace had a great finish today. We have a bunch of work to do, and we will start right back up to come back stronger for next week.” The ‘Cats then competed in the Ed Jacoby Invitational at Boise State University on Jan. 18 and 19, taking home seven trophies. The top performances included sophomore Nick Benham taking first place in the shot put with a time of 57-09.50, which ranked second in the conference. On the women’s side, Merritt took home first place with her 49-08.25 mark and currently leads the conference. Comment on this story at signpost.mywebermedia.com

The Utah Theatre Association was founded back in 1977 by a group of educators who wanted to create a forum where high school students could meet each other in a friendly, non-competitive way and celebrate their skills and talents while learning more about theatre together. It’s been working since. This year, the Utah Theatre Association was held at Weber State University from Jan. 17 to 19. The theatre association also held playwriting-specific workshops at Tooele High School, Cedar High School, Weber High School, Green Canyon High School and Jordan High School. “I really wanted to come to this conference to see all of the different colleges and universities out there that have amazing theater programs to help me further along my career as an actor,” said Cottonwood High School student Amber Delliskave. The Utah Theatre Association aims to create a educational conference that provides

Utah secondary education students the opportunity to have a positive and enlightening theatrical experience. Each year, around 2000 students and teachers from across the state participate in the theatre association. “I want to major in theater and thought this would be a great opportunity to come see every option available to me,” said Carbon High School student Joshua Jeffrey. In the early days of the festivals, they were held in the conference rooms of Salt Lake City hotels. After the Utah Theatre Association conference expanded, the Board of Directors began bringing theatre professionals to teach specialized workshops to conference attendees, and colleges and universities began hosting them. The focus on bringing actors, playwrights and technicians together hasn’t changed. “This is a conference that I’ve always wanted to go to, and I’m so excited to be here to meet so many people with the same interest and passion for theater as me,” said Carbon High School student Paul Spooner. The Utah Theatre Association also focus-

es on introducing high school students to representatives from colleges across the region. Promising actors, technicians and playwrights have opportunities at scholarship money through the UTA, and along with other conference sponsors, the theatre association gives out an average of $5000 in cash awards each year. Recently, the UTA has expanded its scope to become a resource for theater educators. The organization’s board of directors is comprised of educators from public and private schools with representatives from middle and high schools. Colleges and universities are also invited to have representatives on the board. Over the past few years, the UTA has also built ties with the Utah State Office of Education in order to better benefit educators. While the initial focus of the organization was to connect high school students with success and expanded opportunities, the theatre association looks to help benefit everyone involved.

Historic 25th Street welcomed The Corner, a resource and information center in Downtown Ogden, in October 2018. This latest business to find homage in downtown Ogden is located on the corner of 25th Street and Washington. In recent years, Ogden has become a hotspot among visitors to Utah. However, those who visit are unaware of the activities that the Ogden community has to offer. The Corner offers that resource to Ogden, operating as an attraction and information center. The business provides visitors and locals with resources to navigate Ogden’s ongoing stature in arts and entertainment. The Ogden’s Arts & Events team came up with the idea for The Corner in 2017 as way to provide the arts community an inﬂential platform to promote their upcoming events. Like many tourist destinations, an information building is necessary to communicate with travelers from around the world.

After nearly two years in development, The Corner launched its career in full preparation to meet the curiosity of travelers in Utah. According to Christy McBride, the Ogden City Arts & Events division manager, The Corner is in “phase one,” a term used to describe The Corner’s first steps during its development and outreach process. “The Corner is a valuable resource because it offers a central location for its partners: programmers who host arts and cultural events in the community, to promote their information through The Corner’s many marketing channels,” McBride said. The business strives to meet a common goal with the community: to bring the community together. Since its opening, The Corner has partnered with around one hundred businesses and organizations. “As The Corner grows its programming, it is going to be able to identify new businesses that aren’t as well known in Ogden,” said Derek Williamson, manager of the Ogden City Amphitheater. The Corner began by completely renovating the building inside and out. Those who visit The Corner’s physical

The Corner is located at the corner of Washington and 25th Street.

location will notice its urban design with displays of its partners’ promotional items, such as posters, tickets, Ogden apparel from the Sign Garage, and honey and jam local to Ogden. Due to its quick success, The Corner plans to continue its operation through 2020 and to revitalize the entire section of 25th Street and Washington. One of The Corner’s many partners is Weber State University. Students can follow The Corner’s Instagram account and look for ticket giveaways to attend some of Weber State’s upcoming local events. Recent ticket giveaways included tickets to the Lady Wild Film Fest at the Val. A Browning Center and the Yeti Bash on Feb. 1 and Feb. 2. In addition, Weber State students who bring their Wildcat ID’s to The Corner’s physical location can receive a free coffee of the month, which is provided by coffee shops local to Ogden and surrounding locations.

QUIZ ANSWERS FROM PAGE 2 1. c. In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court ruled to uphold the ban on transgender people serving in the military, according to the Los Angeles Times. However, the ruling, which was a ruling in response to the emergency appeals by the Trump administration, only lasts until the court hears the case in full. The court will likely continue to uphold the ban when the case reaches it, as it ruled in favor now. Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen G. Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan held the dissenting votes. 2. b. Harris officially announced her bid for the presidency on MLK Day, joining a list of Democrats looking to challenge Trump that includes Julián Castro, Tulsi Gabbard, John Delaney, Richard Ojeda and Andrew Yang. Additionally, Elizabeth Warren and Kirsten Gillibrand have both announced exploratory committees. According to the Los Angeles Times, in her announcement Harris promised to care about and fight for the American populace over self interests. 3. a. Giuliani said that members of Trump’s legal team, including ex-head counsel John Dowd, confirmed that Trump did not speak with Cohen about the testimonial prior to it, according to New York Daily News.

However, Giuliani also said that the legal team did meet with Cohen’s, and possibly Cohen himself, before Cohen spoke in front of the intelligence committees in Sept. 2017. Giuliani further argued that any meeting would have been part of a joint defense agreement and that everyone involved believed Cohen was being truthful. Cohen has said that he lied to Congress out of loyalty to Trump. 4. b. Cooper and Farrelly did not receive directing nominations though many considered the two to be locks for the category, according to the Los Angeles Times. Lee, McKay and Cuarón all did receive directing nominations. “Roma” also earned Netflix its first ever best picture nomination and received 10 nominations overall while “Black Panther,” with a best picture nomination itself, is the first comic-book adaptation to receive the nomination.
