tax season
less
stressful
ts almost April 15, and for most Americans, it

means the dreaded income tax deadline. This
deadline cannot be as despicable for students,
low-income individuals or seniors because USU
Easterns accounting students have been assisting
these individuals fill out their tax forms since
February in the Reeves Building accounting lab.
Since 1982, Eastern students have been preparing

income taxes for low-income
families, seniors and students,
and the best part is that its

free.USU Eastern was the
first educational institution
who started doing taxes for
the students and community.

Associate professor Henning
Olsen, said, Eastern was the
first, the flag ship for college
VITA in preparing longhand, and now computer and
electronic filing.
The class, income tax
preparation, is a two-credit
class that gives the students
a real-world experience
with basic finance knowledge.
Olsen said that potential
professions could be in ac-
counting, public relations or

as a tax preparer.
This class helps the students by giving them their
first accounting job. The
program that is used, Tax
Wise, is sponsored by the
Internal Revenue Service.
The students also have to
pass an IRS exam to make
sure that they qualify to be a
tax preparer.

Major maps caters to Eastern students PBL students

Josie Slade
editor-in-chief

Many universities throughout
the country adopt systems aimed to
help students succeed. A common
program through higher education
systems is major maps. These
major maps are designed to give
students a suggested path to follow
that helps with the confusion that
many people experience.
USU Eastern student services
personnel is working on their own
variation of the major map that caters to the unique student body that
makes up campus. Greg Dart, vice
chancellor of enrollment services
said, We want to give every student
a very clear picture before they ever
start as a student what its going to
take to meet their academic goals.
There are many things that go
into helping students to meet their
academics goals. USUE plans to
set in course a system that helps
students identify their academic

goals as well as decide their major
or area of study earlier than usual.
The final piece of this plan is the
major maps.
The major maps will not only
focus on majors, but areas of emphasis as well. This is helpful for
students studying at USUE with the
intent of transferring to a university
or four-year college. (Programs
include communications and premed.) The maps allow students to
view the best way to get to where
they want to be.
If a student knows their academic goals, we want students to
be able to see a clear path from
where they are, to where they need
to be, Dart said.
He and other facility members
are working hard to get these maps
in place by fall 2015. Members of
many departments are working
specifically on majors and concentrations in their area so the maps are
as accurate as they can be.
USUE faculty and staff are

looking at major maps from other
universities to give them an idea of
what they want. Dart said, Were
pulling major maps from all over
the country. Some of the ones
we are looking at are very nicely
designed, while others are a mess
that only confuses students more.
We want ours to embody the best
maps we have seen.
Some of the maps that they have
looked at include Northern Illinois
University and Kansas State University. The hope is that USUEs
map will be easy to use for students
and will become an asset that all
students take an advantage of.
While the maps are intended to
be a path for students to follow, they
are to give students an idea of what
they need to do rather than confine
them to one plan. The maps will also
include a job outlook chart as well as
connect students to universities and
four-year colleges where they can
transfer to continue with their plan.

Eight students representing the USU Eastern

Phi Beta Lambda program placed at the annual
college competition on March 6-7 at the Weber
State Universitys Davis Campus.
The top finisher for Eastern was Devin
Bryner, who won two first place awards: one
in business communications and one in justice
administration.
Andrew Anderson placed first in personal
finance and seventh in accounting principles.
According to Henning Olsen, PBL adviser, USU
Eastern has placed in the top 10 of accounting
principles in 37 of the past 38 years.
Garett Hunt placed first in sports management and marketing and seventh in contemporary sports. ,
Hyeonseok (Chuck) Yang placed first in

Theres always good and bad news each year

when tuition increases are discussed. The good
news is enrollment should be growing and USU
Eastern gets a shiny, new building on its south
entrance. The bad news is that tuition is being
increased four or five percent.
On March 3, Chancellor Joe Peterson called
a truth in tuition hearing to educate the staff and
students on campus about the tuition changes.
The tuition raise is due to a great deal of factors. The state of Utah pays 79 percent of each
USU Eastern students tuition. Students pay for
21 percent of their tuition, down two percent
from 2006-07. Compare USU Easterns revenue
generated from tuition to USUs Logan campus.
Logan students pay 38 percent of their tuition
with the state of Utah paying 62 percent.
Snows students pay 30 percent of their tuition,
followed by Salt Lake Community College at 41
percent and Dixie State College at 42 percent.
How does USU Easterns tuition and fees stack
up against other Utah colleges? Eastern is the
best deal in the state with $3,138 charged for 15
credits. SLCC charges $5,505, Snow $5,671, USU
Logan $9,245 and the University of Utah $12,588.
Students will also pay an additional $15 in
student fees next year, going from $235 to $250
as per student governments recommendation.
Peterson said these revenues will contribute to
paying off the Jennifer Leavitt Student Center
bond.
Chancellor Peterson mentioned that the new
building is important to USU Easterns curb appeal as well. We have a small, friendly campus
that people can easily navigate and traverse, so
getting lost usually isnt an issue, and students
both prospective and current like that. However,
some of our buildings are very old, and it shows,
introducing a new, fully modern building right
on the edge of campus will make us look newer
and better. He added, USU Easterns research
on its curb appeal, it was the best of campuses
. . . it was the worst of campuses.
Two new programs are slated to begin on
campus: ceramics and a womens softball team.
The ceramics department will be housed within
the new building, along with the art, newspaper,
theatre, criminal justice and music departments.
A ceramics instructor will be hired before fall
semester to teach in the art department. More
information about womens softball is soon to

Academic success initiative implemented for all freshman fall 2015

A renewed
commitment to
college-successskills program
Daniel Pike
staff writer
dpike84501@gmail.com
Freshman year in college can be daunting; with new faces, new places and an
immense course-load, some students can
feel overwhelmed and unsure of their own
academic success.
This is why USU Easterns new Academic Success Initiative is implementing
a first-year experience that provides a path
for all incoming freshmen to a successful
transition into their first semester and
throughout freshman year.
One aspect of this plan is a revamped
orientation process. Vice Chancellor for
Enrollment Management, Greg Dart said,
Well be reimagining what orientation
should be. Weve been looking at the best
orientation practices from around the state
and how we can implement those here.
USUE currently offers an optional
orientation course; yet Kay McClenney,
Ph.D. and director of the center for com-

munity college student engagement writes,

Students dont do optional. Since many
other colleges in Utah have mandatory
orientation processes, USUE will follow
suit by 2016.
Dart says that another important part
of this initiative is a renewed commitment
to college-success-skills programs. A
student who takes a college-success-skills
course in their first semester is nearly 10
percent more likely to be retained for a
second year.
Since college success starts with getting
students here and follows with keeping
them here until graduation, Dart understands the need to keep up USUEs already
outstanding fall-to-spring retention rates.
LIFESTYLES

He said, In looking at USU Easterns

enrollment goals, weve had a very large
push for recruitment and retention. We do
a very good jobone of the best in the
statein fall-to-spring retention.
Increased focus on a new mentoring
program is also high on the list of priorities
for Dart and the new director of first-year
experience, Shanny Wilson.
Dart added, Her goal, in that new role,
is simply to help students; to give them the
clearest path to success in their first year.
The new mentoring program is largely
Wilsons undertaking and, according to
Dart, will be largely responsible for guiding student on their path to obtaining a
degree. The new mentoring program is

aimed at getting every incoming freshman

an academic advisor. That mentor will be
there to help guide them in choosing a
major, to what their course-load will look
like, to being somebody that the student
can just reach out to.
Dart concluded, We want to know
what we can do to help take a student from
their first fall semester, to their second fall
semester, and finally to graduation. With
Dart and Wilson at the helm, all incoming
freshmen can feel confident that their academic success is of the utmost importance
to USUE and its staff. He said students
should feel comfortable transitioning to
a new school and should never be afraid
to be vocal about their wants and needs.

Dont blame police
officers, blame people
Josie Sue Slade
editor-in-chief
After the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson,

hate towards law enforcement increased to the point that
people began to be disrespectful. While the situation
in Ferguson is tragic, it is not a reason to begin hating
the people who serve in our communities.
So when will the Ferguson hype die down? While
we should never forget this terrible situation and learn
from what happened, we should also move on and
remember that one situation does not define all law
enforcement.
Many protests and mobs are still in Ferguson even
though months have passed since the original situation.
These protests are creating more problems rather than
solving any. The people who are participating in these
are creating unrest in their community and encouraging
bad behavior rather than looking for a positive change.
One of the protests resulted in the shooting of two
police officers in Ferguson, both who survived, but
could have been killed. What did these men do to
deserve being shot at? They merely serve in Ferguson.
There is no reason that a police officer in Ferguson
should fear for his life (outside the regular danger that
comes with being in law enforcement) merely for the
career they picked.
Ferguson is an example of stereotyping. Many of
the Ferguson protests are based on the fact that people
want others to stop stereotyping. How can you solve
stereotyping if you are doing it yourself? You cant.
For once, lets start blaming the people who are causing the problem and only them. Looking at all of law
enforcement personnel as a problem is an injustice and
a crime to many brave people in our country.
Police officers are not bad. They dont put on the
uniform in the morning and become a different person. If you get a ticket, you probably got one because
you deserved it, not because the cop was being a jerk.
While this is not true in every case, we need to stop
blaming cops for when we get in trouble. Without them,
the streets wouldnt be safe and the security you are
blessed with wouldnt exist.
My hat is off to all the law enforcement that serve in
our country. I will never disrespect a law enforcement
officer merely because of what they are.
So for once, I want to go a day without
hearing someone complain about
police officers or make a joke at
their expense. Theyre people just
like us and people make mistakes.
Look past the uniform and look at
the person. Thats all I ask.

Theres something to be said about
the tradition of kissing over a rock on
the first full moon of the semester. For
some, its odd, but for others, it seriously rocks. Ha ha, rock puns.
True Eagle. A long-time tradition
many students have participated in, and
many others openly mock. Sweet for
a handful and a contest for others, its
one of the biggest events of the USU
Eastern experience. Its something Ive
never participated in and often ridiculed.
Kissing over a rock? Thats goofy all
on its own. But kissing over a rock that
may be painted with something like the
Canadian flag? Yes, that sounds incredibly romantic.
You know what sounds even more
romantic? Kissing someone you dont
know for a free T-shirt. Or kissing as
many people as possible for the sake of
beating a record that will be beat next
semester, which is fine, because no one
even remembered who broke the record
last time anyway. Yay!
Im probably not the first to say it,
but gosh dang it, True Eagle is weird.

Recently women were allowed to

attend U.S. Army Ranger School. This
is a very controversial idea because its
a new concept and woman do not have
the muscular skeletal system of a man.
But lets be honest, if you can physically
and mentally do the job, then you should
be allowed too. If a woman can meet
the same standards as a man, then they
should be allowed to attend the school.
Out of the 129 female candidates
that attempted ranger school for the
first time, one passed with the same
standards as a man. But wait, there
was a lot of uproar saying that it was
unfair for a woman to have to meet
the same standards as a man because
biologically men and woman are built
differently. With those failure rates at
hand, a command from high up the
military and government food chain,
some say as high as the secretary of
state, sent down a statement saying that
no woman was to fail in the first class
of ranger school.
Out of 129 women that attended,
only one passed; thats not too bad for
ranger school. According to the officials
at Fort Benning, home of two of the
three phases of ranger school and the
75th Ranger Brigade Headquarters, 60
percent of all candidates fail. This course
was designed to make people fail.
Woman have weaker muscular
skeletal systems than men, so a lot of
the tasks they will just not be able to do
without dangerously extensive training
and preparation.
Yes, only one woman passed the
course but, by complaining about it to
higher echelons in the military, these
other woman who just couldnt cut it
have taken away the fact that one did.

a True Eagle. Because the only way

to prove youre a real member of the
USU Eastern student body is by kissing
someone you dont know over a rock.
As I said before, Ive never participated in True Eagle. Ive stuck around
to watch once, but never gave myself up
for the sacrificial smooch. By itself, Im
not one to establish crushes easily, and
likewise, I dont intend to hand out my
kisses. Personally, Ive always believed
kisses are special and should be saved
for someone you really care about. Reducing kisses to a contest seems odd at
best, and nasty at worst.
I mean, do you even know who else
that person has kissed that night? How
many people they kissed? If tongue was
involved in any of those? Which, by the
way, if youre kissing a ton of people,
ew. You need to stop. Thats disgusting.
I know what a lot of you are thinking.
This is college and I should lighten up.
Its supposed to be fun, and its supposed
to be crazy, so stop. Well uh how
about no?
I get it. College is about having fun,
making friends and creating memories.
But sue me if I dont want mine to be of
kissing 85 different people in the span of
one hourfive of which probably have
mono, to which I repeat: ew.
To be fair, I dont think True Eagle

is all bad. Though the kissing-as-manypeople-as-possible factor isnt pleasant
and grosses most people out, theres
no harm in sharing a kiss with your
significant other, especially when its for
such a fun occasion. Plus, getting a free
T-shirt is nice, and who can complain
about that?
With that being said, where do you
draw the line? Wheres the boundary
between fun and gross? As with most
answers, its found in a wonderful land
called common sense.
Use your judgment. Think it through.
Dont do something youd regret a day
later. And for goodness sake, dont kiss
so many people that you end up struggling to remember half of them. True
Eagle is meant to be fun; not a mono
festival. And have fun by all means,
but dont do something that would
make your mother shake
her head if someone
were to ask, Is that
your child? In simple
terms, be smart.

One female had enough heart and

strength and endurance to pull from the
deepest core of her being and say, I
will not give up. I will die trying. The
other women have taken that away from
her. They have taken all the hard work
and sacrifice this would have endured
and made it for naught. Now no one will
know that she actually made it through
because all of the females were allowed
to pass just because they are females.
These females claimed that it was
unfair they had to achieve the same
standards as a man, that their bodies
werent built the same. This is a true
statement, but they knew going into the
school that they would have to achieve
the same standards.
Out in a combat zone, the enemy
doesnt care that you have a different
set of chromosomes. They dont care
that you, tried your best. Neither
does the person standing next to you,
wearing 200 pounds of gear, putting his
total weight over 400 pounds. If hes
shot in the back, he will expect you to
carry him out and, Im a female will
not be a viable excuse when he dies.
A ranger tab is a 50-cent piece of
cloth that holds the weight of generations upon it. It is a mark of honor, commitment, personal courage, sacrifice
and selflessness. The bearer of this
standard is a member of an elite group
of people who do not know the word
quit. They do not understand give-up.
The first line of the ranger creed
says, Recognizing that I have volunteered as a ranger I am fully aware of
the hazards of my chosen profession.
This is a creed everyone associated
with the rangers must learn and live by.
Even those in pre-ranger school have to
memorize this creed. Repeating it over
and over and committing it to memory
make it so there are no excuses like, I
didnt know.

These few women complained,

knowing this creed, and went to sympathetic ears who care more about fair
play than whats actually good for the
military and country. These women
were just given the tab; something given
has no value. Now this one woman who
actually passed and could possibly be
the start to a great change and acceptance of woman in special operations is
lumped in with the women who didnt
actually earn the tab, but who wear it
to look good and claim they earned it.
This one woman is now lost in a sea
of scam artists and there is no hope of
getting out. This poor ranger, which
she deserves to be called because she
earned it, will probably never get the
respect she earned because these other
woman have made it so that no respect
will be given to a women with a ranger
tab. As far as the general military
knows, none of them earned it.
This goes to show that forced fairness and political correctness are not
only a terrible idea, but also a hindrance
to progress. If those 128 women had
decided to not give up, but instead to
say okay, I know what I need to do,
work on themselves and go back, then
they would be respected and honored
as a member of the ranger family. Since
they basically complained their way
into a tab, they will receive no more
respect than a civilian that wears a
military uniform on Veterans Day to
pick up women.
The ranger community
will probably be torn
apart by this poordecision making. A
tradition and family
dating back to Rogers
Rangers will be tossed to
the side just because
someone said it
wasnt fair.

He refers to himself as the

many non-LDS readers. He

to grow, changes need to be
made and remade. Change

in policy is just necessary

Nightmare road woes

continue for Eagles
David Osborne Jr.
d.osborne@aggiemail.usu.edu
sports editor
Since the first conference loss

to Salt Lake Community College
on the road two weeks ago, the
road woes continued for the USU
Eastern Golden Eagles.
While starting out region play
hot, beating four out of the five
teams in the first matches of the
year, the second round has not
been as inviting to the Golden
Eagles. The team has been on the
road however, so the panic button
should not be pressed yet and
although they have a four-game
losing streak, they have a record
of 17-5 so certainly all is not lost
with home stands against all of the
conference teams at least one more
time before the end of the season.
The Golden Eagles took the
third game of their long road trip
north of the Utah border to Twin
Falls, Idaho, to take on the College of Southern Idaho. According
to head coach Vando Bechelli,
[Chris] Craig always said that you
win our conference through Twin
Falls. Craig is a former head coach
of the Golden Eagles and took
them to the national tournament
in 2009-10.
The team certainly wanted
to win on the road against CSI, a
tough task in its own right since
CSI has only lost six games in the
last four years on their home floor.
The Golden Eagles werent able to
make this a reality though as they
learned first-hand how difficult it
is to win up there.
Many things went wrong for
the Golden Eagles in Twin Falls,

starting out with the shooting
percentage. The team only hit 20
out of their 61 shots for a shooting
percentage of 32.8 percent. The
free-throw percentage wasnt much
better, hitting 15 out of 30, 50 percent. The Golden Eagles allowed
CSI to hit 51.9 percent of their shots
and hit almost 70 percent of their
free throws. The Golden Eagles
were able to win the rebound battle
with a two-rebound edge, 44-42. In
the end after the final buzzer had
sounded, the Golden Eagles had
lost 103-59.
Two days later USU Eastern
headed even farther north into
Idaho to take on North Idaho College. Having been ejected from the
game against CSI, according to
Scenic West Athletic Conference
rules, coach Vando was not able to
coach the team against NIC and so
assistant coach Justin Brown had to
take over the head coaching duties.
Once again the shooting woes
continued for the Golden Eagles
hitting only 35 percent of their shots
from the field and again struggling
from the free-throw line hitting
19-29 for 65.5 percent.
The Golden Eagles were able to
get three players into double-digits
in the points category however,
being led by Kendahl Amerson
with 27 points while adding five
rebounds to his stat sheet. Rebounds
seemed to be the problem for the
Golden Eagles in this game being
out rebounded 50-38, compounded
with 19 turnovers for USU Eastern
and only 11 for NIC. It was another
perfect storm in the far reaches of
the north, at the final buzzer NIC
83, USU Eastern 65.

For the third week in a row
the Golden Eagles had to go on
the road, this time to take on the
Colorado Northwestern Community College Spartans in Rangely,
Colo., where the Spartans have a
record of 6-15 on the season.
The Golden Eagles had another
tough go of it on the road with low
shooting percentages again, 49.1
percent from the field and an abysmal 19-40 from the charity stripe.
The team did beat the Spartans
in almost all aspects of the game
holding them to only 39 percent
from the field, beating the Spartans
46-32 on the boards, but again the
Golden Eagles had more turnovers,
17 to CNCCs 14 and total points
when the scoreboard hit double
zeroes, losing 84-80.
Amerson once again led USU
Eastern with 20 points and four
other players finished in doubledigits.
One other problem for the
Golden Eagles against CNCC
was the foul trouble. Four players
ended up fouling out, including
two starters.
The Golden Eagles will look to
end their losing streak when they
play host to Salt Lake Community
College and Snow College this
week. The SLCC game will be on
Thursday, Jan. 30 with a 7:30 p.m.
tip-off and the Snow game will be
on Saturday, Feb. 2, with a 5 p.m.
tip-off. The Golden Eagles are
ranked third in the Scenic West
Athletic Conference behind CSI
and SLCC with three weeks to gain
ground in the ranks before the start
of conference tournament.
Super Bowl XLVIII is a game

for the history books. After 65 preseason games, 256 regular season
contests and ten more post-season
affairs, only one game remains
in the 2013-2014 NFL season.
On Feb. 2, the Seattle Seahawks
and Denver Broncos will meet at
MetLife Stadium in New Jersey
for Super Bowl XLVIII. It is a
game overflowing with storylines;
Peyton Mannings assault on the
record books, Richard Shermans
assault on Americas sensibilities
and Mother Natures assault on
everything else involved.
As the first Super Bowl played
outdoors in a cold-weather city,
the weather has loomed over this
game like storm clouds gathering.
It looks like fans will be chilly with
the weather reaching the mid-20s.
That would shatter the record for
the coldest outdoor Super Bowl
ever. The record is 39 degrees, set
all the way back in 1972 at the game
in Louisiana. The league spent millions on contingency plans related
to the weather. There are plans in
place to move the game anywhere
from Friday, Jan. 31 to Monday,
Feb. 3, if need be.
With wind not a huge factor,
a few inches of snow during the
game isnt going to ruin anything.
A few players may slip and slide a
bit, which could lead to a big play
or two. Fans like big plays, fans
like snow, fans will love Super
Bowl XLVIII if it features both.
But no one actually knows what the
weather will be like other than that
it will be freezing on game day. Will
Mother Nature play a major role?
Will it be a snowing atmosphere
or just a cold atmosphere? We will
soon find out.
After blowing up in a post-game
interview following his huge play
that sealed the NFC Championship,
Sherman was derided as classless, and a thug, but what people
do not know about Sherman is that
he is an emotional player, like many
others. Hes a great man whos
extremely well spoken, does great

things off the field and obviously a
great player on the field. Sherman
did indeed apologize for his actions, although he also criticized
the way he was characterized. The
fact that a great play became an
outburst thats turned into a debate
on race and perception in sports
and society is absurd.
In his 16 NFL season, Manning
re-wrote the single-season record
book at the quarterback position.
His 5,477 passing yards and 55
touchdown passes are both NFL
records. On Feb. 1, Manning will
probably win his fifth NFL MVP,
its as certain as death and taxes.
Now Manning sits one win away
from his second Super Bowl win,
a victory that would place him
among the top of the list of the best
to ever play the game. Manning is
also quite literally the only player
on either team who has tasted victory in the Super Bowl.
For the first time since 2009,
the top seeds from both the AFC
and NFC will meet in the Super
Bowl. In fact, its only the second
time in the past two decades thats
happened. It also marks only the
sixth time since the NFL merger
that the NFLs top offense will
face the leagues top defense in
footballs biggest game. Its a
matchup that has historically favored the defense. The team with
the top defense won four of the
past five meetings, the last coming
when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
demolished the Oakland Raiders in
Super Bowl XXXVII. Of course,
none of those teams had to go up
against the 2013 Denver Broncos.
So who will win the Super Bowl?
Tune in to the game to find out.

percent. Eveningwear is worth
20 percent and will be joined
with onstage question, which
is worth five percent.

and one will be the next queen
and will represent USU Eastern
at the Miss Utah Pageant. The
Queen will receive a $1,000
scholarship to USU Eastern,
1st attendant will receive a
$500 scholarship, 2nd attendant
will receive a $300 scholarship

and the other two finalists will
receive $100 scholarships. The

Baseball was, is and always will be to

me the best game in the world, Babe Ruth.
A quote loved by many, especially the team
captains for the Golden Eagle baseball team
2013-14.
USU Eastern has an incredible baseball
program that is filled with traditions. These
traditions have allowed players to perform
to their full potential. Each year, head coach
Scott Madsen selects two captains for the
team, one for the position players, and the
other for the pitchers. Each plays an important
role on the team.
Kyle Durbin, starting shortstop for the
Golden Eagles, was selected to be team
captain. As the team prepares for the season,
Durbin explains, I have high expectations this
year; Im excited to hang out with the guys on
road trips and playing the season. Durbin is
one of six returning players from last years
team. I feel the team is a little different this
year. We have a lot of different players, but
we have high hopes for this group of guys. I
feel we have players that have potential to
move onto the next level, and thats exciting
this year.
Mitch Dahl, starting pitcher and pitching
captain for the team this season also has
high hopes, I think we will surprise a lot
of people this year. If our pitching staff can

go out there and throw strikes and rely on
our defense, then we will have a successful
season. Dahl has high expectations for the
pitching staff and feels they will be extremely
successful this season.
The role of a team captain can be
demanding, difficult, and challenging, but for
these two, its like a walk in the park. Durbin
explains his role as a team captain, I dont
feel any pressure because we have such a
solid group and good guys on the team, were
mature. We have a lot of respectable players.
Dahl also clarifies his role by saying, As the
example for his team, but also have a love for

the game. Both of these athletes feel this game
is special. Durbin says, I love this game and I
love playing with my team. You meet lifelong
friends in this program, friendships that last
beyond the field. Dahl explains his love for
the game, Youre not going to remember
the scores or the strikeouts in the games, but
youre going to remember the small moments
like traveling with the team, the hotels and the
memories you make.
A coach chooses team captains for specific
reasons. Madsen explains why he chose these
two leaders to be captains for his team. I chose
Durbin to be the team captain because hes a
personal guy and gets along with everyone.
Hes willing to help everyone on the team. Hes
been around me since last year and has had
a lot of meetings with me of what I expect of
the team and individual players. He added, I
chose Dahl because hes an outgoing person,
and kids open up to him. He is an approachable person. Hes older and he understands
what I expect. He has a type of personality
that you look for in a captain.
With these two leaders taking the field, the
Golden Eagles are bound to have a great year
making memories not only of many wins, but
also of building relationships that will continue
to last throughout their life. The team has a
demanding schedule and a difficult task ahead
of them, but with these two captains leading
the team, expectations are high.

Ever y semester
assistant editor-in-chief
at USU Eastern, the
Clothesline Project is
hosted in the Jennifer
Leavitt Student Center. The Clothesline Project is a
visual display that bears witness to the violence against
women. Students and staff at USUE have decorated
shirts to represent abuse, both physical and mental,
they or someone they know have suffered.
The Clothesline Project is a national project that
first began in Massachusetts in 1990. The first project
had 31 shirts. Now it has spread across the nation and
brought many people to action.
Cyndi Nielsen, a staff member at USUE, and
Darrin Brandt, USU Easterns director of student
services, worked hard to break the silence and bring
awareness to abuse. They first brought the clothesline
project to USUE three years ago and have had a display
every semester since. They now have over 70 shirts
designed here.
Brandt said, The Clothesline Project gives victims
a chance to tell their story. It shows them that they
can overcome their abuse and encourages victims to
seek out the help they need. The idea is to break the
silence. Violence that is overlooked just continues
until it escalates.
Seven colors represent different types of abuse
and violence against women. Grey for verbal abuse,
white for women who have died as a result of violence,
Con

violence, red/

to educate future USU Eastern
students. USU Easterns funding
is limited to maintenance and
support services.
Two sessions are offered,
three days a week. The morning
session is for 3 year olds and the
afternoon session is for 4 to 5
year olds.
The program is similar to preschools at Dixie State University,
Southern Utah University, Snow,
Utah Valley University, Brigham
Young University, Westminster,
Salt Lake Community Col-
lege, the University of Utah,

Weber State University, Utah
State University and three of its
regional campuses.
Philosophically, the curriculum allows children to
explore in a safe environment,
gives opportunities not afforded
at home and provides hands-on
experience for future learning.
Its the primary connections,
which research shows, are so
critical to shaping the minds of
preschoolers as successful future
learners, associate education
professor Anne Mackiewicz, said.
USU Easterns program is
based on best researched practices. In the state of Utah anyone
can open a preschool, she said.
All you need is to acquire a
business license. There are no
background checks, CPR training, food handlers permit, or
child development education.

Preschools can have an unlimited
number of students without
anyone checking on how many
adults are present to teach and
monitor the children. There is
simply no oversight of preschool
owners and that is something
parents should be aware of. I
encourage all parents to ask about
these issues when enrolling their
child in a program.
USU Easterns preschool
teacher has an early childhood
degree. The program teaches
college students a complete
curriculum of early childhood
education. When a college student
graduates from the program, they
will have earned an associate of
applied science degree (AAS)
with an emphasis in child development.
As the enrollment of the college dropped this past decade,
so did students majoring in
early childhood education. Two
to three students enroll each
year, but more are needed if the
program is to remain viable.
If the college chooses to
keep the program, Mackiewicz
believes a focused effort to recruit
students would support a viable
program. If the AAS is eliminated, available funding along

Anxiety is an issue that

can cripple a person and leave
them unable to function doing
simple day-to-day tasks. With
the end of semester approaching, students study for tests and
are swamped with homework.
Anxiety isnt an uncommon
problem and is something that
plagues almost everyone,
Why do we have anxiety and
panic attacks? Our bodies are
made to exist in hunting and
gathering societies versus the
large-scale civilization we now
live in. The anxiety we feel now
was something put in place to
protect us. Our ancestors lived
off the land and were put in
dangerous situations every day.
Darrin Brandt, director of
student services, said, Lets
say a week before your uncle
was killed by a saber tooth
tiger, right after a twig broke.
The next time you hear a twig
break, your physiology leaps
into action. Almost instantly
the flight-or-fight response is
triggered. Its a very primitive
part of the brain based off the
very basic need for survival. It
was a pretty good system for
10,000 years ago.

The stress response our
bodies have built in pumps
chemicals into our bodies and
urges us to either flee from the
situation or fight. This response
takes our hearts from filtering
one gallon of blood a minute
to five gallons. It increases our
blood pressure, makes us sweat
and makes every hair on our
body stand on end.
What does that mean now?
Our bodies didnt forget this
system and its still in place
now. The problem is not this
system, but rather how our
society approaches it. Instead
of being able to work off these
chemicals like were supposed
to, we find ourselves stuck in a
situation and stuck with these
chemicals which are telling us
to panic.
If youre sitting in class and
a professor decides to surprise
you with a pop quiz, your stress
response can engage. Immediately your mind goes to the
worst possible place. If you fail
this quiz, you fail the class. You
feel the need to run but it isnt
socially acceptable to do.
You are stuck fighting off
all these chemicals and find
yourself unable to. Instead you
have a panic attack that has a
mired of symptoms on its own.
Our minds and bodies are

made to keep us safe in situations of high stress. The problem is that our bodies cannot
tell the difference between
life threatening situations and
the modern situations we face
today.
Brandt said, How often
does the worst case scenario
actually happen? Not very
often. Even if the worst-case
scenario does happen we still
make it through. We are made
to make it through. We have
to take a moment and remind
ourselves that its not the end
of the world.
Anxiety is something that
can be combated with a change
of mindset. We worry and stress
about things that wont matter
in the long run. Take a moment
to breathe.
We are so busy all the time.
We often forget to take a moment and merely experience the
things around us. If we spend a
couple times a day merely taking in the things, actually living
in the moment, we could be
more stress free and happy than
we are right now, Brandt said.
Take a moment to stop and
smell the roses. Remember that
these things you think are the
end of the world are merely a
bump on the road to overcome.
Life doesnt need to be filled
with stress and anxiety.

meiosis and fertilization, came screaming into life.

What an amazing process to observe, the growth
from two cells, the bodys largest and smallest joining
together to form this perfect organism. This was truly
beyond my understanding and I felt the first tinges of
that passion appear in my life. I hungered for more of
the unexplored darkness of my cosmos.
The final step in my journey, so far, came on May
13, 2014. My second child, a perfect little boy named
Jonathan passed away. Jonathan was a full-term baby,
who never took a breath of the air we take for granted.
Jonathan had a chromosomal condition called trisomy
21 or Down Syndrome, which occurs in the second phase
of cellular meiosis, where copied chromosomes line
up in the center of the nuclear envelope and separate
into the final-four-haploid-daughter cells. In his case,
one extra 21st chromosome stayed behind, leading to
the complications which caused his death. I had the
deeply personal experience of meeting him only one
time, and as many of you know, some experience are
too precious to be tainted by words.
There are, in science, a few things we know absolutely, or what we call laws. Scientific laws hold
up across the spectrum of fields, biology, chemistry,
physics, etc. One is called the law of conservation of
energy, where no energy in the universe was ever created. It has always been in existence and never will be
destroyed, just transformed. Every particle, every atom
that constituted my son has always existed and always
will, every photon that bounced of his blonde hair and
reached my eyes, continues its journey throughout the
stars and the universe, forever. Therein lies the reason
for my passion.
Science is the practice of searching. Searching for
those things lost and yet to be discovered. Somewhere
out in the emptiness of the cosmos are those photons,
which gives me reason to study and work and slave to
discover new and excited things.
Jonathan belongs to the stars now, so Ill search for
him, unafraid of the dark.

So far we have discovered the origins of the cosmos

as well as the origins of life on Earth; however Id
like to take a break before we begin the next series in
evolution and discuss why science matters. Why do I
engage so deeply with science? Thats a question worth
exploring and in the end, hopefully you will understand
why I do what I do.
Science provides two of the most critical aspects of
existence, which is answers and questions. It provides
resources that enable you to ask questions, create solutions
and then test them to discover answers to those questions
and perhaps even better, new questions. I cant convey
to you how exciting missing data is to me. The process
of discovery holds within itself untold wonders within
the darkness of the unknown which can be daunting
and troublesome.
Why involve myself with something as unsettling
as the unknown darkness of the unexplored cosmos,
or why involve yourself with these mysteries as I have
pled through these articles? Let me tell you my story.
I, like so many, grew up watching Bill Nye conduct
fun and relatable experiments and present them at my
intellectual level.
Those tapes captivated my brother and myself,
encouraging us to make a difference, explore the
universe around us and apply ourselves for the betterment of humankind. As I grew, I had a less than
stellar academic career through primary and secondary education, simply because I wasnt driven; I had
no passion. Afterward, I applied myself to my career,
learning about and treating sleep disorders. The science
thrilled me; everything about the process of research
captivated me again as those Bill Nye tapes had in my
childhood. In my 20s I decided to return to college and
this time pursue the sciences as I had dreamt about. I
found success because I was finally driven.
This is not the end of the story, to be engaged effectively you must make it your passion. For some,
finding your passion comes naturally, through absolute
dedication to what they study and for others it comes
through discovery, finding something that envelopes
their imaginations and controls their thoughts. But for
some, like myself, it comes from another place, or two.

Persistence turns
dreams into realities
Jesse Malan
staff writer
jesse.malan3@gmail.com
Our dreams are everything to
us. They are what make us who
we are. They are our motivation,
our driving forces within us. They
are our pick-me-ups in lifes
blues. Most importantly, they are
our underlying reasons to what
we think, say and do. That being
said, opposition will confront us
and either stop us or hinder us
from obtaining our dreams. There
are things anyone can do to help
overcome these road blocks, such
as planning, training our minds
and seeking help. This articles
purpose is to help readers overcome doubts and fears that damn
or hinder progression.
First, I want you to think of
your greatest fears that keep you
from obtaining your dreams. Is
peer pressure stopping you? Do
you fear what your friends or
family will think of you for trying something different? Do you
fear that you wont have enough
money? Or is the fear of failure the
main concern? If it is uncomfortable thinking about this I do not
apologize. This step is a critical
step to take in planning. Addressing your fears and planning how
to overcome them allows you to
smartly be persistent. This is a
power few possess.
The second issue to note is, to
know that you cannot plan and be
prepared for everything life throws
at you. How will you prepare for
the wild and outrageous setbacks?
That is where training your mind
comes in.
In my two previous articles
were the teachings of how to
train your mind and how to train
your mind more solidly. Just a
refresher: the mind is the birthing
place for our dreams and those
plans that aid us in obtaining our
dreams. What we focus on in our
thoughts is what we will attract to
us in reality. So, when a problem
comes up, do NOT focus on it. That
doesnt mean ignore it; it means to
focus on how to overcome it. As
you train your mind to become
unconquerable, your mind gives
you the necessary ideas to help

Tim Riley, Ph.D. and Curator of Archeology at the USU Eastern Prehistoric Museum
says that the pot is of
Freemont make,
and is obviously
more so because
it was found in
Freemont territory. He stated
that f inds li ke
these are extremely
rare, because the
Freemont civilization started declining around 900-1000

years ago. The pot is

over 1,000 years old, and still intact. Specialists
from all over are stumped for several different
reasons, but the clear facts are:
Most ancient tableware
is found relatively close to
the living environment of
whoever crafted it, usually
close to other creations of
the same kind, usually in
pieces. This vase was found
alone under an overhang of
rock a fair distance away from
any ancient settlements.
The people who discovered
the pot, several archeologists
from the Colorado Plateau
Archeological Alliance, thought
it was just an odd rock formation
at first, but on closer inspection
they found that it was a half-buried,
intact vase. It was about a year before

Third, be optimistic. Thomas
A. Edison was struggling to invent
the light bulb. He tried and successfully failed 10,000 times. That
is literally 10,000 times. When
tempted by a colleague to quit his
endeavors, Edison replied, I have
not failed, Ive just found 10,000
ways that wont work. His being
optimistic has blessed the lives of
billions, not to mention aiding him
in obtaining his fortune. In training
your mind, train it to become optimistic, see how helpful it will be.
Last, but definitely not least,
when life beats you up in your
endeavor to obtain your dream,
seek help from a valuable, trustworthy source. Every president
of the United States has a cabinet
of people to consult on different affairs. Why not make your
own cabinet of friends who are
willing to help you? They will be
a great asset to you and you to
them. They will give you sympathy
which will be a great help on your
mental facilities. Some may even
share empathy with you, which will
show to be a greater help in many
ways. Often times, those who have
gone through similar situations
will have wisdom to share with
you. Were talking free ideas full
of wealth from experience.
To become a persistent person,
you must first make a plan to reach
your goal and plan what to do
with the road blocks that you can
imagine. Then you must be actively
determined to obtain your goal;
training your mind is a great plan
to aid in this. Being optimistic is
gravely important too because it
is healthy and thought promoting.
Being optimistic helps to inspire
new plans when the road blocks
hinder the way of your old plans.
Lastly, everyone needs help from
some source in their undertakings.
These keys of knowledge, put to
use, aids in helping anyone be
persistent in their endeavors.
Never give up on a good
thought. Be persistent and turn
your dreams into a reality. Remember, thoughts are useless unless
turned into reality. Your thoughts
are you. When those thoughts are
put into action, you become a useful and incredible person.

Player, coach, retiree after 40 years of

being on the court, field, driving range
Katie Felice
staff writer

Young Paur rocks the short shorts playing for CEU.
Dave Paur had a goal to coach for

40 years. He says, The odds of most
coaches going that far are maybe 1 in
10,000. This year Paur accomplishes
his goal, as it marks a total of 40
years coaching and 26 of those years
spent at USU Eastern. After a legacy
of coaching and athletic experience
behind him, Paur is now preparing to
retire May 15.
Himself was a former USU Eastern
(CEU) basketball player when he was
in college, Paur went on to Southern
Utah University for his bachelors
degree and the University of Utah to
obtain his masters degree.
Paur started his coaching career at
North Layton Jr. High and went on to
coach at many other schools such as
Chowchilla High School in California,
East Carbon High School, Kings River
Community College and of course
USU Eastern. At Chowchilla he was
the head baseball coach, assistant
football coach, athletic director and
drivers education teacher. At Kings Idaho and CSI on the road with a score

If Paur had any advice to give
Warburton on coaching, it would be,
Be yourself. Dont try to copy other
coaches. Sit down and think about what
you like to do as a player, what kind
of defenses you want to run and what
you are comfortable with offensively,
what kind of players you like. Dont
imitate someone else.
As far as the future of USU Eastern is concerned, Paur would like to
see the school put more money into
scholarships and recruiting.
After retirement, Paur plans to
continue his life in Price with his wife.
He plans to take a couple of months off
and later go on a trip with his wife and
granddaughter back to Tenn., through
Mo., Ill. and Ohio to go site seeing.
His traveling goals would be to revisit
Israel and Brazil again one day.
Paur leaves behind a long legacy
of coaching and a lasting impact
on the players and athletics at USU
Eastern. His last words of wisdom
to leave behind would be, the most
important thing you can do in this life
is help others.

Kingsman: The Secret

Service movie review
Josie Slade
editor-in-chief
In the spirit of old spy
movies, Marv Films
brings the comic book
adapted Kingsman: The
Secret Service to life.
Produced by the same
writer as Kick-Ass it is
guaranteed the same
laugh out loud and quirky
action brought from
other Millar creations.
Made for the big
screen by Mat t hew
Vaug h n, Ki ngs m a n
brings back the days
of James Bond before
the franchise lost its
sense of fun. Though
the movie is an obvious
play on spy movies, the
characters bring attention to the various spy
elements throughout the
film to show audience
members that the movie
is an intentional parody.
Colin Firth gives a
spectacular performance
through his portrayal of
Harry Hart, the Kingsman secret agent. Besides
Firth, the film is filled with
an all-star cast: Samuel
L. Jackson, Mark Strong

and Michael Caine. The
unknown, Taron Egerton,
plays the main character
Gary Eggsy Unwin, and
shows a surprising amount
of talent that doesnt leave
him the odd man out

among his co-stars.
T h e a c t io n -f i l l e d
scenes are not hard to sit
through and filled with
moments that manage to
erupt laughter from viewers. Instead of mindless
action seen in action films,
Kingsman surprises with
music-filled blows and a
montage that utilizes a
symphonic piece titled

Pomp & Circumstance.
The R rating the movie
is given is rightfully done.
The movie is laced with
enough F-bombs to make
any Brit proud along
with gore and sexual
innuendos, the movie
shouldnt be seen by
anyone sensitive to these
things. The movie, however, will not overpower
you with vulgarity and
a nod can be given to
the screenwriters on
this aspect. Kingsman
is tasteful when using
R-rated themes.
The defining aspect
of this movie is the
underlying themes that
teach viewers a few key
lessons. From the idea
that anyone can change
to the idea that what you
do and say matters. In the
immortal words of Harry
Hart, Manners maketh
man. What words better
than these can we find to
live by?
Kingsman: The Secret
Service wins a round of
applause and a recommendation to see the film if you
get a chance. You wont be
disappointed.

On the Shoulders of Giants
Part V
Nathaniel Woodward
staff writer
Dear Bridgette,
It is no secret that biology holds special interest in my life.
I speak of it regularly, participate actively and study rigorously
its secrets. There is so much that we can apply to our lives
and take inspiration from, the discoveries in the field over the
centuries have been world-changing. The personification of
scientific principles is a powerful way to help grasp concepts
that may otherwise prove difficult to master.
A field of biology that has exploded in relevance since
Franklin, Watson and Crick discovered the structure of DNA 60
years ago, is genetics, or more correctly, what has exploded is
the implications and applications it has to our lives. From new
treatments for long ailing diseases to designer babies, genetics
has shown us proof of our evolutionary past, linked us to those
long dead and showed us what we may become in old age.
One of the first things you learn in biology are the steps
of cell division and replication called mitosis (in normal
cells) and meiosis (in reproductive cells). These steps copy
the specialized organelles within the cells that carry out the
functions that make life possible, especially the copying of
genetic material or DNA.
During the early stages of cell replication, the DNA within
your cells nucleus in the form of 23-paired chromosomes
(tightly wound packages of DNA), begin to unravel and copy
themselves so the new cell may itself have the correct number
of chromosomes. While these steps have been observed and
understood for many years now, for some time it was a mystery
how these chromosomes didnt lose much, if any, information
during all this shuffling.
Carolyn Carol W. Greider was a student studying genetics
at The University of California-Berkeley who helped make a
discovery that would solve this puzzle and change what we
knew about genetics and cell replication. Looking over the
great scientific discoveries of time, it may seem unlikely that
anyone without a doctorate would be able to make any real
contribution, which is something Id like to clear up. Great
scientific discoveries have been, and will continue to be,
discovered by anyone willing to learn and apply themselves
in a field they have a passion and patience for.
While studying as a graduate student at Berkeley, Greider
was presented with a problem she found intimidating, and

attacked it head on. In her efforts she helped discover the
enzyme telomerase, a key molecule that helps replace and
protect the parts of the chromosomes, the telomeres, most
likely to get lost in translation into a new set of chromosomes.
Without telomerase, our chromosomes over the generations
would continue to lose information, the results of which would
end our species ability to survive.
This discovery paid off big time for Greider and the other
two scientists she worked with on the project. The Nobel Prize
was awarded to them in 2009. Greider proved that although
one may seem unqualified and be intimidated by a problem
that seems impossible to solve, they can triumph and change
the world.
The enzyme telomerase is a wonderful example of
something we can apply to our lives. Like our chromosomes,
the stress and difficulties of progressing and moving through
the natural functions of life, even those which completely undo
who we are and unwind us, can be made right through the
assistance of others. It is easy to lose pieces of ourselves over
time, and without a little help, we could even lose who we are
entirely. If you feel under-qualified for something, rely on the
help of others, those around you, who can build you back up,
help you remember who you were and who you can become.
Never lose sight of the accomplishments made possible by
digging your heels in and attacking a problem head on; an
untold discovery may lay immediately in front of you, just
waiting for that final push. Never, ever, ever give in to defeat.
Ill always be there to help wind you back up.

Easterns womens basketball team come together for one last 2014-15 season huddle before their game against Salt Lake Community College.
Three Lady Eagles earn region honors: Adams, Smith and Ficher
Abbie Bird
sports writer
abbierosebird@gmail.com
Coach Dave Paur and his team ended their season
on a good note. In the SWAC Region Tournament,
they beat North Idaho College to go to the second
round of playoffs and lost to Salt Lake Community
College in a close game on the second night. Although
they suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Bruins, they
left their season with a positive attitude, and three
players were rewarded with regional awards.
On Feb. 26, Eastern beat NIC in the first round of
playoffs, 66-58. This game, like most throughout the
tournament, was close the entire time. The Eagles
came in at half time only two points ahead of the
Cardinals.
Sophomore guard Bryanna Adams led her team
to their win by scoring 24 points and pulling down
seven rebounds. Maddy Murphy pitched in 11 points
and Jessica Anderson added another 10, with nine
rebounds.
The Eagles played their last game of the 2014-15

season on Feb. 27, and suffered a loss to end their
season. SLCC was able to pull through with a threepoint win over USU Eastern, 62-59.
This game was tight the entire time. SLCC led by
only two coming into the half, and Eastern was able
to take the lead off and on. At the ending stretch of
the game, fouls were called on the Eagles, and SLCC
made their free throws to seal the deal.
Five players from Salt Lake were able to score in
double digits and it assisted them in getting their win.
Adams dropped 20 points, Caroline Ficher chipped
in 14 and Murphy had 10. Adams also grabbed nine
rebounds in the loss.
Three members of the womens team were
awarded with region honors. Bryanna Adams was
named First-Team All Region; Jamie Smith, SecondTeam All Region; and Caroline Ficher honorable
mention. Adams was put on the All-Tournament
Team.
Paur expresses how proud he is of his team,
saying, We were 20 and 10, one of our better season
records. I thought we were a top-ten team. We beat

year he attended a
different high school. His junior and senior
year, Sly earned varsity letters. His father
knew the head coach Vando Becheli and
talked to him about bringing Sly to play
for the Golden Eagles. I thought Utah
State University Eastern would be a nice
place to play basketball and it was close to
home. Sly came down for a workout and
after seeing him play, Coach Vando offered
him a scholarship.
As a freshman, Sly averaged 12.7 minutes,
three points and 2.3 assists per game. He was
crucial many times coming out of the bench
to help the team. However, this years
season this for mens basketball was
not good. I thought it was a rough
season. We had ups and downs, but
even though things did not go our
way I have learned a lot, said the
young, talented point guard.
Sly has great expectations for
next year and wants to come back
to Eastern for his sophomore year.
Things I would want to change for
next year is being more of a leader
and pushing myself to my limits so
I can become a better basketball
player and help my team to succeed.
Sly wants to win the conference next
year, lead in assists and make it to
the nationals.
Graduating from college and
playing professional ball overseas is Slys
plan. I just need to have a winning season
next year in order to transfer to a Division
1 NCAA school, and then I will be closer
to my dream.
Sly learned a lot this year and grew as
a basketball player. He loves the sport and
regardless of the results of this season, he
is ready and excited to do better next year.

From family of 12 children to team of

12 players: Judd at USU Eastern
Michaella Crooks
sports writer
michaella_volleyball@comcast.com
Melissa Judd hails from Saint George,
Utah, and comes from a family of 12 kids.
She has been playing volleyball since she
was in the seventh grade. She is five foot
ten and plays outside hitter/ right side.
She is a sophomore on our womens
volleyball team. The people that inspire
her to keep playing are her parents, but
mostly her dad. He is always there for
me. He knows what to tell me, and when
I have an issue or a problem I always go
to him first and he is always calm and
helps me through anything.
So far at USU Eastern, Judds favorite
memory is her first year when they played
Snow. We had a pretty big crowd and
we beat them in some of the matches
and almost won the whole thing. Other
things Judd enjoys to do include playing
basketball even though shes not good at it,
playing piano even though shes not good
at it and reading and spending time with
her boyfriend. She loves music and likes
to pick flowers in the green pastures near
the dorms. Next year, Judd would love to
play somewhere at a four year college and
to major in physical education.
If Judd ever got a tattoo she would get

I love mom on her deltoid. Something
crazy that happened to Judd when she
was little was when her cousin almost
drowned her and she went unconscious.
Melissa Judd
Now I am forever paranoid of being held

under the water. Her biggest regret in life
is not being more sociable in high school.
Her most prized possession is her camera.
If Judd won the lottery, she would
spend a lot on a house, invest in a lot of
things and save the rest for her kids in a
trust fund. The one time Judd got pulled
over, the cop thought that she was trying
to lose him. He pulled me over because

my license plate illuminator was out and
then he asked me if I had been drinking
when I was wearing a BYU Idaho shirt.
Judd sprains her ankles often, but
the worst injury she has sustained was
in her senior year. I got tendinitis in
my shoulder and that was a big setback
in my life. If she had to choose whether
to be ugly and live forever or be pretty
and die in a year, she would choose to
be ugly and live forever. Then I would
use the money from the lottery to make
myself not ugly. If she could be any age
for a week, she would choose to be 23.
Youre old enough to do whatever you
want, but not too old that people think
you dont know how to have fun.
The weirdest thing Judd has ever
eaten is Ethiopian food because she has
two sisters and a brother from there, and
they love it. Her hero in life is her mom.
She had 10 kids and she is probably the
nicest person you will ever meet. Her
biggest fear in life is losing one of her
parents. If she got to spend one day with
a celebrity, she would choose to spend
it with Ingrid Michaelson because she
is Judds favorite singer. I really love
her. Judd thinks that Victorias secret is,
figuring out how to make unattractive
bodies attractive to men.

USU Eastern baseball continued

their busy schedule with 10 games
in a matter of a week against teams
from Nev., Ariz. and Colo. They won
two and lost eight.
The team continued SWAC
conference play against the College
of Southern Nevada for a four-game
set on March 5-7.
Game one was a pitchers duel as
Sean Hardman took the mound for
the Eagles and potential first-rounddraft pick Phil Bickford was on the
mound for the Coyotes. Bickford
dominated the Eagles all night with
his fastball that was in the mid to
upper 90s. He went six innings,
struck out 15 and didnt allow a
hit.Hardman was also impressive not
allowing a hit until the fifth inning
to keep the game tied at zero.
With some timely hitting, the
Coyotes were able to put the game
out of reach with two runs in the
seventh and three runs in the eighth,
stealing the first game 5-0.
Pinch hitter Jordan Mellen broke
up the Coyotes no hitter with a twoout single in the top of the ninth.
Hardman went six and two thirds,
allowing two runs and striking out
five.
Game two was also a close contest

as both teams battled back and forth

to maintain the lead. In the top of
the second, center fielder Austin
Geurtsen got it started with a leadoff
double, then later scored on a single
by left fielder Greg Ashley to give
the Eagles the early lead.
After the Coyotes pulled ahead
2-1 in the bottom of the third, Ashley
came through with another clutch
hit to tie the game at two midway
through the fourth, but that was
quickly answered as the Coyotes
tacked on one more run in the bottom
of the inning and held on for a 3-2
victory. Ashley went 2-3 with a pair
of RBIs. Mellen also had a pair of hits.
Game three was another seveninning battle as the Coyotes jumped
out to an early lead with three runs
in the bottom of the second. The
Eagles fought back with two runs in
the fourth and one run in the fifth to
tie it. The Coyotes broke the tie with
a pair of hits and were able to once
again hold on to a narrow victory
of 5-3.Greg Money and Mellen
both had two hits to lead the way
for the Eagles.
The Eagles ran out of steam in
the final game of the series, as the
offense sputtered and the pitching
could not contain the Coyotes as
they finished the sweep with a 9-1
victory. Eagles were unable to get
anything going with only two hits in
the ball game.
The team then traveled to Thatcher,
Ariz., for a four-game set against

Eastern Arizona College.After the
Eagles came out flat in Mondays
doubleheader dropping both games,
they looked to get back on track in the
final two games, but with a series of
controversial calls in the third game,
coach Scott Madsen was ejected,
forcing the Eagles to forfeit the final
game, giving the Gila Monsters the
four-game sweep.
The Eagles returned home with a
two-game series against the Western
Colorado Club team. Sophomore
Jayce Hill took the mound and threw
a perfect game; literally perfect. He
did not allow a batter to reach base in
five innings while striking out seven,
giving the Eagles a 10-0 victory.
Hill said after the game, I was
