Renovating the residential life areas

Students are paying for this service, they need the best we can provide
Seth Richards

staff writer
s.richards@eagle.ceu.edu
We all like to whine and complain about the conditions of the
dorms. It keeps some from becoming too complacent with our living
conditions. Whining can also help
give a false hope that, someday,
we could be living in as luxurious
estates as we grew accustomed to in
our infancy. Others might find the
whining recreational, a way to keep
limber. Whatever the reason, it is
often hard to believe that some big
wig with a long title and big, empty
desk in Logan isnt pocketing our
housing and student fees.
Upon closer examination, it

would seem that this money is

actually working for us. In recent
months, strides have been taken to
create a cleaner, more professional,
and more inviting campus than the
school has had in a while.
That littered parking lot and untidy lounge you may have seen when
you came for an Eagle Experience is
a thing of the past, barring such incidences with cooking mishaps and
small combustibles as may occur.
Previous tenants of CEU will
remember shag carpet in the washroom of Tucker Hall, shoddy blinds
in the dorms, fire boxes built under
showers with wiring on top, cracks
in the walls that may have predated
the extinction of the dinosaurs,
flooding in the back of Burtenshaw

Hall, and erratic temperatures in the

dormitories. These are all things of
the past, or will hopefully be gone
within the foreseeable future.
Officer James Prettyman, campus police and residential life,
football field and Durrant field
maintenance director, hopes to have
the campus sharp and pretty with
only regular maintenance work
necessary within the next five years.
Working in conjunction with
residential life, this could very
well be possible. But for all of the
rewiring, painting, installation of
new boilers, plaques on the doors,
changing light fixtures, getting
various components up to code, and
the seemingly endless list of fixes,
repairs, and replacements necessary

to make this campus the epitome of

beautiful, its no walk in the park.
Lighting and safety seem to be
a major part of the upgrading of
the campus. New fireboxes, exit
signs, emergency backup lights,
and parking lot lights have either
been installed or are on their way
to the dormitories. Excess lights and
digital temperature control panels
are on hand and work orders are
being closed in record time, with a
few exceptions for those delivered
late at night.
A small army of contractors,
seasonal grounds people, and
students, a group from which
the residential life maintenance
staff seems anxious to draw more
people, provides the labor for all

Single And Ready To Mingle

these changes.
Prettyman; Dr. Alex Herzog,
associate vice chancellor of student services; and Sharon Jones,
administrative assistant for student
services, have worked long hours to
organize this undertaking.
Prettyman said, Students are
paying for this they need the best
we can provide.
So next time you want to gripe
about the housing, just remember
that your fees are working for you,
not always in the most glamorous
and visible ways, but you will get
your moneys worth one way or
another. If you have any suggestions
on improving residential life, please
call Prettyman. He is always open
to suggestions.

Three welders place first at SkillsUSA

Mike Montoya

Three members of the USUEastern welding team again

brought home a gold metal from
the SkillsUSA competition last
summer in Kansas City, MO.
The fabrication team, composed
of Austin Welch (Price), Mike
Montoya (Helper), and Joseph
Fournier (Moab), managed to win
the gold medal.Before qualifying
for nationals, the welders placed
first at the state level.

The fabrication contest requires

hundreds of hours of preparation
and practice. Each year the organizing committee will announce
a new theme and provide a list of
materials that the competitors can
use to design and construct their
concept of that theme, said Lon
Youngberg, welding instructor.

Pull your pants up

Jasmine Tidwell
viewpoints editor
J.Tidwell@eagle.usu.edu

The popular style of sagging

pants started in the prison system.
Prisoners were and are not allowed
to have belts because they can be
used as weapons. Nor are they
allowed to have shoelaces for the
same reason.
Since prisoners do not have
a way of keeping their pants up,
their pants naturally fall below
their butts.
However, some prisoners decided to turn it into a code. Prisoners
that are homosexual and/or willing
to be an inmates girlfriend, wear
their pants below this butts letting
others know they are available.
Eazy E, a gangster rapper from
the 80s and 90s said about women
in skirts for easy access, baby.
So, does sagging your pants mean
you are homosexual? No, but if

I am
basketball
McKay LaSalle
guest writer
m.lasalle@eagle.usu.edu

One Christmas my older brother

got a basketball hoop. We started
to have basketball competitions
and, of course, he would always
win. He was bigger, stronger and
at the time faster. This became a
competition between us. I fell in
love with the game.
I am basketball, when I am on
the court I am home. The best part
of my day is when I get to play ball,
there is nothing better knowing you
are busting your butt up and down
the court, playing the game that you
love. Competing against athletes
that are as good of a player as you
or better. Then winning is amazing.
I came to Utah State UniversityCollege of Eastern Utah because
of Coach Brad Barton. I know the
desire that he has for the game, IT

you cross paths with someone who

served time in a prison or jail, I
would not go bending down within
an arms length of them.
In 2004, a school trustee in
Dallas, Texas, tried to get the trend
banned from schools. A lawmaker
in Louisiana proposed a bill that
would pose a $175 fine on people
caught sagging their pants.
In Dublin, Geo., Mayor Phil
Best is signing a law that categorizes baggy pants as indecent
exposure. Persons convicted of
indecent exposure because they
are sagging their pants will have
to pay a $200 fine.
For those that do not know, according to the law, in order to be
charged with indecent exposure
you must be caught masturbating, fornicating or urinating in a
public place.
So while guys think that they
are simply making a fashion statement, others may think and feel that
its disrespectful. Take the time

and really think, how would you

feel if your daughter, mother or
sister wore their pants below their
butts. Would it still be another cool
fashion statement?
It is doubtful that guys on campus who sag their pants are trying
to attract a member of their same
sex. However, that is not what their
actions say, their actions say, I am
homosexual and would like to be
some guys girlfriend.
If that is not
you r intention then
please pull
your pants up.

is unlike any coach or player I have

ever met. Coach Bartons passion
for basketball is so contagious; he
wants to win and I want to be successful. Coach Barton gives you
the opportunity to become a great
player and person, but you have to
work hard.
Coming here and playing basketball is everything that I thought
it would. I know Coach Barton
and what type of coach he is. I
knew that if I came here, I would
have to work hard every minute of
everyday because you do not just
work hard on the court, you work
hard in school as well. The coach
pushes you to what you think are
your limits and it makes you better.
If we do the things that Coach
Barton asks of us as players, we
will win the national title. It might
hurt now, but it will benefit us later.
As a freshman, my teammates
do not think of me as a leader for
the team. That does not bother me
because you do not need the title
of captain to be a leader. I can lead
by my example, by running hard
in practice and getting back on
defense. Once I have proved myself
that way, then I will get the respect

I have earned and I be able to lead

with my voice.
In basketball you always have
to think about the next play,
always think about what could
happen during a game. Since I am
basketball, all I do is think about
what is coming and what type of
outcome my actions will have on
and off the court.
School on the other hand is challenging, but still fun. I am excited
that I get to go to class and learn
something new each day. Knowledge is power.
If basketball does not take me
anywhere, like I hope that it does, I
would like to have
an education
that would allow me to be
successful.

Letter to the editor

Food changes in the cafeteria
Dear editor,

If there was one thing that I could change about the school, it would be the food in the cafeteria.
I feel like we always have the same type of food every single week and I feel like it needs to be mixed
up a bit. It wouldnt be that difficult to send out a waiver or something like that to see what else people
would find good or have an interest in eating. It also never sits right with my stomach, believe me Im
not the only one who can verify for that.

USU-Eastern:
what not to wear
Benoni Sowah
staff writer
b. sowah@eagle.usu.edu

What you wear is who you are. The first impression you make is from
your appearance and then what you do and say adds to it. With this in
mind, clothing and style should be something that college students should
take a look at.
It will make no sense if we have all the degrees, but not able to represent
ourselves with what we wear. I dont know of anyone who will employ
an applicant who shows up for an interview in flip-flops and sweat pants.
Their impression will be that he or she is not taking the job seriously. Try
it and tell me what happens. There is what we think should happen and
there is also a reality.
College students do not have extra money, that does not mean its okay
to wear bad clothes. Believe you me; what you choose to wear affects you
psychologically. I have realized that when I dress professionally, I feel
good about myself and I walk around confidently. When I dress casual,
I want to behave as such. Some people have decided to close their eyes
to what is going on around them. Others like what is going on, but dont
know how to go about it. Others are afraid to embrace it because of what
others will think of them. Just as we keep up with technology so must we
keep up with fashion of the day.
Being fashionable sounds expensive. You can be cheap and trendy.
Please dont think that I am asking you to start spending loads of money
on clothes. I will tell you how you can look good, but spend less.
Firstly there is no body type that is ideal. There are some clothes
that skinny people can pull off and there are those that chubby people
can pull off. Know your body type and dress accordingly. Dont follow
fashion blindly. Just because it is on TV and someone is wearing it does
not mean you can also wear it.
Your age is also a factor to consider. It will be absurd to see a 60-yearold man in skinny jeans and tight T-shirt. It is not what we expect to see
of a guy that age. But at the same time, it does mean that growing old
means a fade out in fashion. Dress according to your age. Dont wear
those clothes you wore when you were young. Personally I think Disney
character clothes are for young people. It is okay to wear them at home
as work clothes and pajamas.
Thirdly embrace who you are. Accept the flaws you have and come
to terms that you cannot change them. We all have one or more of those.
Plastic surgery may sometime make these corrections worse. Just deal
with it. I love my receding hairline. I think it makes me unique.
John Fairchild said, Style is an expression of individualism mixed
with charisma. Fashion is something that comes after style.
Develop your style. You may love western (cowboy), modern or whatever
style you feel for and that will determine the kinds of clothes you buy. Try
to be unique. Even if you copy someones style, add your own touch to it.
Here are some tips to buying clothes for less. T-shirts, dress shirts
and pants are always the same at anytime of the year. So my suggestion
is to shop for summer clothes towards the beginning of fall. Most retails
stores try to get rid of their stock to make way for the next season stock.
It is the same when shopping for the fall, buy in the spring.
Take advantage of coupons and discounts. Ask for it anytime you
buy, even if they dont have a sign saying that. The secret to getting
these discount is being friendly with the cashiers. They know what to
do when it comes to discounts. I think as college students, the most we
should be willing to spend on a cloth is $20. Except in cases where we
have they money and that shirt is worth paying more for. My mantra
for buying clothes is it better be cheap or on sale
Dont close your eyes to the Deseret Industies. I hope I did not confuse
you with the name. I am talking about D.I. Although we know they sell
used stuff, some of the things they have are brand new. Take time to buy
from this store, examine what they have first.
Black Friday, post Christmas is another time to shop for clothes. Just
dont buy because it is cheap and comfy. Make sure you love it and its
trendy. Buying one thing at a time is good; money may not always be
available so just a shirt or pant at a shopping is okay. Eventually you will
build a good wardrobe.
It is also important to know color coordination. Fashion has some rule,
these rules can be broken, but you need to know it first and if you decide
to break the rule then break it well. Here are a few of the rules:
Shoes and belts must always match. Never ever wear sunglass in a
building. If its a sunglass, then it should be worn in the sun.
If your hat is not part your paraphernalia take it off
when you enter a building, it is sign of respect to your
professor and those around you, I think our generation
lacks some of this common etiquettes.
Dont forget your hair and personal hygiene. It
will make no sense if you dress well, but stink or
look unkempt. Give your body some attention. And
please avoid disfiguring it with tattoo and piercing. I
think many people are getting tattoos and piercings
because they think it is cool. I think some of them

James Prettyman and his crew that oversee the residential life buildings, the football field and the
Durrant field have spent the past summer updating the buildings so that everything looks good, works
good to sustain many additional years of students living comfortably in the campus housing. He plans

Founders Day
Award is presented each year to
college employees who work for 30
years or more. This year the award
is being given to Vicki Kulow (32
years), who retired as director of
purchasing, and Steve Belnap (42
years), who retired from the business office. Kulows retirement
was short lived as she returned last
fall to assist in the USU Eastern
SUN Center.
Two outst a nd i ng a lu m n i

Joe and JoAnn Goodrich and the
former debate and forensics coach
Neil Warren.
Joe and JoAnn Goodrich
After graduating from CEU,
JoAnn continued onto USU and
graduated with a bachelors and
masters degrees in communicative
disorders and educational audiology, respectively. Joe earned his
bachelors degree in manufacturing engineering from Weber State.
Utah Power and Light hired
Joe as an engineer and he worked
at Carbon Power Plant located in
Castle Gate, Utah. Through a span
of 18 years, he worked at the Hun-

tington and Hunter plants as well

where he served as plant manager
of the Carbon and Hunter Plant.
In 1993, the Goodriches moved to
Casper, Wyo., where Joe managed
the Dave Johnston Power Plant in
Glenrock, Wyo., until 2000, by
this time Utah Power was Pacific
Power. Another merger with Scottish Power brought Joe to SLC on a
transition team for the merger. He
retired from the power company
in 2002 as a managing director.
While in Carbon County Joe
had the opportunity to serve as a
member of the board of directors
with Castleview Hospital, as a
Price City Youth Council adviser
and in both Price and Casper he
served in a number of Boy Scouts
of America positions.
JoAnn operated a preschool
while in Price as well as worked for
Carbon School District as a teacher
of the hearing impaired. She also
worked for the Natrona School
District in the same role while in
Casper, Wyo. After moving back
to Utah, she worked as the director
of Deaf Services for Southern Utah

Board of Regents
of Applied Sciences, Technology
and Education.
The combination of knowledge,
skills and abilities within the
new school allows USU to offer
cohesive and coordinated programs
that will prepare students for higher
paying, high-demand jobs in career
and technical fields while also
providing related undergraduate
and graduate degree opportunities,
including the training and licensure
of teachers for career and technical
programs, Miller said.
The new administrative
structure, linking the Professional
and Technical Education and
Workforce Education divisions at
USU Eastern to an academic unit on
USUs Logan campus, provides diverse opportunities for our students
ranging from certificate programs
to doctoral degrees, Miller said.
The School of Applied Sciences,
Technology and Education will
create a value-added experience
for all students enrolled in our
programs.
The ASTE Department on
the Logan USU campus offers
undergraduate bachelor of science

Update on EUSA activities, more on the way

Kent Olsen

EUSA public relations & historian

The people, the places and the
activities put the fun into college
life. Many of the students at USU
Eastern realize that the best way to
enhance college life is to involve
themselves in activities sponsored
by EUSA and other clubs and associations here on campus. Fall
2011 semester started off with a
great line-up of fun activities.
On Aug. 26, USU Eastern
students moved into the campus
dorms and joined together for Night
Games. From mingling to races
to a hilarious orange game, they

to continue with replacing the carpet, adding tile, landscaping, updating heating and air conditioning,
electrical, plumbing and making the buildings a show place on campus. He has added additional water
and fertilizer to the grass areas to make them usable for campus and community to use.

finished the night with a game of

glow-in-the-dark Ultimate Frisbee.
There is no doubt that we have an
abundance of new students that
like to have fun.
After Night Games on Friday,
students met again at the Hello
My Name is Dance on Saturday
of the opening college weekend.
Here students enjoyed a night of
get to know you dancing and a
shirt signing fiesta.
Another favorite activity was
the Foam Party. We all know that
soap suds plus dancing equal a
sudsy good time. The opening
social, the pool party, club registration and intramural registration

are other great activities that happened during these first two weeks
of school.
Dont fret if you missed out,
because there are plenty more
activities to come! There is always
something going on. Intramurals
are every Wednesday night. Also
coming this semester is the Jon
Schmidt Concert, Lite-Brite, True
Eagle, and more. Remember as you

He was named debate coach of

the year by Weber State, Southern Utah University, Western
Debate University, California
State Forensics Association. His
awards throughout his career are
too numerous to mention and not
inclusive to his debate programs.
From the Utah Board of Regents
Excellence in teaching award, Utah
State Board of Education award,
U of U outstanding service award,
Castle Valley Community Theatre
performance and service award
to Price Junior Chamber of Commerce distinguished service award
are all part of his incredible career.
A graduate of Carbon College,
he was voted as most likely to succeed, and continued his education
at the University of Utah. His
education was interrupted by the
Korean War, where he was stationed in San Luis Obispo, Calif.
Graduating from signal school, he
taught military science and tactics
as he advanced through the ranks
from staff sergeant to 1st lieutenant.
His final position was commanding officer of the National Guard

Unit in Price.
While at Carbon College
[CEU] he taught speech classes,
English, drama, literature, social
sciences, humanities, education as
well as distant education classes
for USU.
Warren explained to his grandson about what he did before he
retired. I told him I was a teacher.
His grandson said, I know that,
but did you do anything special?
Warren thought, I could tell him
that I spent a good deal of my life
going to school and taking workshops, that I taught heavy teaching
loads every term, that I coached
the debaters in the afternoons and
traveled with them all over the
nation on long weekends, that I
spent long nights practicing plays
and building scenery and that I
spent much time with meaningful
organizations.
A reception from 6-6:30 p.m.
will begin the evening with dinner and awards following at 6:30

BYU VS UTAH AFTERMATH:

BYU gives turnovers and Provo gets to eat them

John
White scored three
touchdowns, Jordan
Wynn passed for two
scores and Utah
forced seven BYU turnovers to cruise
to a 54-10 victory Saturday night in a
rare lopsided game between the rivals.

Villains & heroes

David Osborne Jr.
sports editor
d.osborne@eagle.ceu.edu

In every sport there are players

and even teams that you love to
hate, and then there are the teams
that you cant help but like and
relish when they win. These teams
and players have all developed
reputations that follow them from
the field or court out into everyday
life, and reputations can also be
made in normal situations and then
follow the athlete back when they
put their jersey on.
Michael Vick is a prime example of being both a hero and
a villain. While playing for the
Atlanta Falcons, Vick was known
as a player that cared more about
his own personal stats and the
way that he was personally viewed
rather than being a team player and
caring about the way that the team
was viewed around the league.
This spilled over into his personal
life and Vick soon fell in with the
wrong crowd. Eventually things
took a turn for the worse and the
terrible things that Vick did ended
up on the front of every sports page
in America, if not the front page
of the newspaper for facilitating
and participating in illegal dog
fighting. Vick spent 23 months
in a federal prison. When he was
released Vick got a second chance
to play in the NFL, a chance that
many players dont get. Vick now
plays for the Philadelphia Eagles
and is the starting quarterback
for them. Vick also speaks as an
advocate for many groups against
animal abuse, and spends time
teaching students about the wrong
choices that he made so that they
dont have to go through the same
thing.
Starting in the late 1970s the
Dallas Cowboys were considered
Americas team. Bob Ryan
coined that phrase, recognizing
that wherever the Cowboys played,
or were seen around town there
were people in tow with hats, shirts
and pennant s. The Cowboys of the
late seventies and early eighties
were as easily recognized as any
politician or Hollywood star of the
era. They were a blue collar team,
the team for a working man with
nothing to flashy, but champions
because of their work ethic and
determination. In the eyes of many
people they were all heroes. They
were something to strive to be, and
they gave hope to all that watched
them play that through will power
you could do anything that you
wanted to. In the eyes of a nation
they were heroes.
LeBron James, in the eyes of
many is considered a villain right
now. Although he started as a
hero in Cleveland, when he made
The Decision, James became
an instant villain to many in the
NBA. Not only had he stabbed his
team in the back to join Dwayne
Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami,
but he also made it so that other
players would rather play in Miami
and chose to leave their teams as
well. This created a chain of events
in trades and free-agents signing
with other teams to create other
teams that compete with the Big
3. Soon it was not good enough to
be a team of just good athletes and
all team players, but James made
it so that to compete you needed
a team of all-stars that were all
talent. James may never recover
from the decision and the rest
of his career may be tainted by it.

All of us have to choice
to be heroes and villains. We
all have choices to make, and
they come all of
the
time.
And
this is why
villains and
heroes have
been on the
tee.

The loss snapped the Cougars fourgame home winning streak and was their
first to an in-state opponent since 2005.
Utah (2-1) trailed 10-7 late in the
second quarter until Wynn beat a blitz
and found tight end Jake Murphy open for
a 30-yard touchdown pass. Wynn tossed
a 59-yard scoring pass to Dres Anderson
on the opening possession of the second
half, and the Utes never looked back.

White scored on runs of 1, 62 and

35 yards.
The games scoring started and ended
with touchdowns by Utahs defense.
Jake Heaps passed for 305 yards and
a 32-yard second-quarter TD, but tossed
an interception and fumbled twice.
BYUs run game was non-existent
as the Cougars carried 22 times for just
11 yards.

We were outcoached, outplayed

and basically outexecuted, BYU coach
Bronco Mendenhall said.
Turnovers were the critical difference in the game ... but they were the
better team.
An ecstatic Utah coach Kyle Whittingham ran toward the Utah cheering
section afterward and gave high-fives
to everyone along the rail. Now he has a

Kylie Cordon goes up for the spike during a home game last weekend at the BDAC.

The past two weeks and have

been a learning experience for
the Lady Eagles. They traveled to
Arizona on September 8-10 for a
six-game weekend. Returning to
Price, on September 16-17, they
were able to put together some
strong games against the Utah
State University Eastern alumni
team and an All-Star team from
the Salt Lake area.
In Arizona, the Eagles won
three and lost three games. Instead
of the typically match being best of
three games out of five, the tournament in Arizona was the best of
three games. We were behind on
one game, but we came back and
won, said Coach Chelsey Warburton. They beat South Mountain
2-1. USU Eastern lost in the first
set 25-20. Into the second and
third set Eagles won 26-24, and
15-10. In the Scottsdale game, the
Eagles won the first two sets 25-23
and 25-21. Pima was also a good
match for the Eagles winning both
sets 25-22 and 25-10. They lost to
Phoenix, Chandler Gilbert, and
Glendale. In the Phoenix game,
USU Eastern won the first set
25-17, lost the next two 17-25 and
9-15. Chandler Gilbert won the
first set to our 22-25; we then won
the second set 25-16, and lost in
the third set 11-15. Glendale won
both sets, 25-23 and 25-18. Coach
Warburton commented, We are
still mixing it up a little, but mostly
on the right side.
The team is still struggling
a little with injuries. Our setter
Somara is out with a foot injury.
The other injuries we are working through to rehabilitate, said
Coach Warburton.
On Friday, September 16, the
Lady Eagles took the court against
the alumnae of USU Eastern.
Those who returned to contend
with the Eagles were, Julia Potts,
Megan Garvin Urbanik, and many
other players who had played here
about two or four years ago. The
Eagles won in four games against
the alumnae team. The girls
played good together. We were
able to get everyone in to see time.
It also allowed us time to work on
rotations, said Coach Warburton.
The Eagles won the first two sets
25-15 and 25-17. They lost the third
23-25. To finish the game they won
the fourth set 25-19.
After Fridays win, the Lady
Eagles had a quick turnaround
to prepare for Saturdays game
against the Salt Lake All-Star

In addition to the many

recruit and be part of a team,
that, not only has a chance of
competing for the championship
of the best league, but also a
national title, explained Coach
Edelstein.
Coach Hammer formerly
assisted with the womens
basketball program at Westminster College, as well as
coaching the Salt Lake Metro,
a club team for high school
girls. Coach Hammer came
to Eastern so that he could
experience the mens side of
coaching again, while staying at the collegiate level.
When asked his goals for
the 2011-2012 Eagle team
Hammer said, ...work hard
and improve everyday and
compete for a region and

Boys of summer hitting the field

A new chapter was started in
last years conference tournament
when the Eastern baseball program
knocked out a team that wasnt
Colorado Northwestern. After a
wild victory over the Coyotes of
College of Southern Nevada, USU
Eastern tied a school baseball record by going four games deep
in a conference tournament.
With that success they
rode into the summer
with high expectations. The Eastern
baseball program returns
the majority of their
pitching staff.
The returning pitching
staff accounted for 81 percent
of last years wins. Even with losing
the conference player of the year in
Craig Brinkerhoff, the coaching
staff addressed those recruiting
needs in the off-season. Coach
Scott Madsen stated, we didnt
lose a step in this off-season, we
just re-loaded.
The teams fall season began with the Sophomore allstar showcase, in which
five Eastern players
were selected to play
in front of professional
and university scouts.
Eastern baseball was
represented in the

showcase by Colter Moore, Tory

Ullibarri, Kody Christoffersen, Kort
Christoffersen and Nuho Kraja. All
players played well,
even with the pressure of playing in
front of scouts.
Kort Christof-

fersen added, it was exciting and

a little nerve-racking to play in that
setting, but all players from our team
played well.
This past weekend, Eastern traveled to battle Salt Lake Community
College, in a doubleheader, and a
Chicago Cubs scout team. In the
first game, Eastern jumped out to

an early 2-0 lead. Eastern starting

pitcher, Tory Ullibarri, received offensive help from Nuho Kraja and
Chance Abrath who both had two
hits in the game. Although Eastern
pounded out nine hits and showed
patience at the plate (six walks), it
wasnt enough as Eastern fell 9-6
to the Bruins.

The second game was played in

an absolute downpour; both teams
not only battled each other but also
the wetness of the
playing
surface, and
cold
temperatures. Salt
Lake handled the

photos by Jessa Love Adams/The Eagle

sweather better as the Golden Eagle

defense committed numerous errors
and lost 10-1.
In the final game of the weekend
Eastern faced a Chicago Cubs scout
team, coached by Gary Van Tol, who
also coaches for Gonzaga, and in the
Chicago Cubs minor league system.
The Golden Eagles were without
Head Coach Scott Madsen who
had to attend to family matters. The
Cubs took an early 1-0 lead, but
the offense answered with a four
run second inning. The Golden
Eagles received strong pitching
performances from Andrew
Mahalik and Mason Moore.
Both kept the Cubs off-balance,
while showing command of all
their pitches. The Golden Eagles
tacked on a few more runs, and
ended up winning 8-2. The pitching was benefited from the offense
of Freshmen Chance Abrath, and
Tait Slesk who both had three hits.
In response to the game Assistant
Coach KC Smurthwaite commented, We kept up our intensity
the whole game, and that made a
huge difference in how we played.
Fans can see the USU Eastern
baseball team play this weekend in
Price, when they host Utah State
University. The Aggies will be here
for a doubleheader; games start at
noon Saturday, Sept. 24 and admission is free.

Mason Moore (left), Dakota Longman (center) and Ben Kraja (right), all work hard in practice to prepare for games.

Smurf Turf:
Let the (retirement)
party begin!
KC Smurthwaite
editor and chief
kc.smurthwaite@eagle.ceu.edu
Retirement: every working woman or working
mans dream. Sleep in. Kick back. Toss away the
calendar and never look at your watch again. Time
for the grandchildren and time to enjoy those AARP
discounts at Burger King. Its the prime slice of life,
those golden years between punching the clock and
when youve lost your marbles and are led away to
the rest home of your childrens choice.
The average American retires at the ripe age of 67.
But whats the retirement age of an athlete? Whenever
they want, if theyre really good; whenever the coach
and GM want if their skills are faltering and the word
cut takes on a new and sinister meaning. But lately,
weve seen a few unusual retirements. Its time to pull
out a few of your favorite fizzy drinks and join in the
retirement party review.
Leading off is disgruntled Chicago pitcher Carlos
Zambrano (age 30) who called it a career after he gave
up eight earned runs in 4+ innings of work, and got
himself tossed out of the game, too. Zambrano, who
has always had the calming presence in the clubhouse
of say, the audience at a Justin Bieber concert, stormed

off the field, immediately cleaned out his locker and

left. He announced his retirement via Twitter as he
bolted the stadium. Of course, a few days later, he
announced he was only kidding and wanted to come
back and play some more ball. Maybe he was starting
to feel the pinch of not collecting his annual salary of
roughly $18.8 million a year. Hint from the Smurf:
Never quit a job that pays $18.8 million a year. Never.
Meanwhile, former all-star baseballer Manny
Ramirez (age 39) took a more subtle approach to his
retirement. In 2009, Manny served a 50-game suspension for a positive test for performance enhancing
drugs, or in laypersons lingo, steroids. In 2011, our
buddy Manny made the bonehead mistake of taking
drugs again. Instead of serving the 100-game suspension imposed by Major League Baseball for his second
steroid offense, Manny announced his retirement and
flew to Spain with his Pops to begin his new life. Of
course, just because he isnt a big-league ballplayer
anymore doesnt mean he isnt hitting anymore. A
couple of weeks ago, he was arrested for battery, the
kind that comes when youre punching your wife, which
he allegedly did. Class act, that Manny. Drugs and a
wife-beater, rolled into one lovable package. Maybe he
should join ex-NBA star Shawn Kemp, another early
retiree, as the only professional athletes to get their
numbers retired in a drug rehab home.
Not all of the retirements are caused by bad behavior or declining skills. Yao Ming (age 31) hung up his
huge sneakers after two losing seasons at the doctors
office. The 76 Yao was an NBA star for his first five
seasons, but his last four were filled with pine time
while he nursed a host of minor and major injuries.
Yao, by all accounts one of the good guys in the league,

Player Highlight

Name: Whitney Fieldsted

averaged 19 points a game and nine rebounds during

his career, and helped spread the name and fame of
the NBA to the Far East. So for Mr. Ming, the wish
is simple: Good luck in retirement and we hope you
heal completely.
The pro football lockout dominated headlines this
summer, but when the league came back to play, it did
so without quarterback Brett Farve, who retired and
then changed his mind more often than a teenaged
girl looks at herself in the mirror on Prom Night.
Where the teenagers behavior could be considered
cute, Favres was not. It got old. Like Brett himself. A
couple of teams are already looking for quarterbacks
this season as injuries take their toll. Lets hope none
of them have Brett on speed dial and well be spared
the 4,987th Heartwarming Brett Favre Comeback Story.
Channing Crowder was an okay, maybe okay-plus
linebacker for the Miami Dolphins. He retired at the
age of 27, after getting cut by the Fins, but certainly
he could have hooked it up with another team. Along
with his football skills, NFL beat writers will miss
Crowders running motor of a mouth. The man was
a quote factory. His retirement announcement: Im
going to keep on playing in Miami, but not put on a
football helmet. He also once famously challenged
New York Jets coach Rex Ryan and his father to a
fight because the younger Ryan didnt know who
Crowder was. And then there was this classic, when
ol Channing tried to describe the officials after his
quarterback got repeatedly whacked during a game
and no flags were dropped: Stevie Wonder and Anne
Frank. Who is that blind girl? Helen Keller, then. I
dont know who Anne Frank is. Im mad right now.
Im not as swift as I usually am.
Indeed, Mr. Crowder, and we hope your swiftness

returns during your retirement golden years.

Then we have the interesting retirements of Mike
Vrabel (36) a star linebacker in the NFL and Shaquille
ONeal (39), the mountain of a man who played forever
in the NBA. Both of them left for new jobs. Vrabel
was about ready to embark on his fifteenth season in
the NFL, but former college teammate and roommate
Luke Fickell took over the zoo also known as the Ohio
State football team and offered his old buddy a job
as an assistant coach. Vrabel thought that holding a
clipboard and shouting instructions was a better gig
than getting blasted by 330 pound linemen, so he
quickly said yes. Speaking of 330 pounds, ONeal
was out of work for about a month, after he decided
that his NBA mojo was gone. Shaq mulled offers for
several media outlets but ended up signing on as an
NBA analyst along with Charles Barkley. Yes, Chuck
and Shaq will be teeing it up this fall, assuming there
is an NBA season. That should be interesting: Two
huge men, two huge egos, two people who also happen
to be very funny and insightful. (Remember, Barkley
perfectly called the NBA championship series: Dallas
in six.) Forget the game. Just tune in to listen to the
post-game, when Chuck and Shaq undoubtedly will be
more entertaining than the National Blah Association.
So if youre a professional athlete, you know your
retirement day is coming fast, most likely before youre
much into your thirties. The time to plan is now. The
party is on. You never know when the knee will give
out, the coachgoes witha younger and sleeker model,
or your drug test catches up with you. As for the rest
of us, I guess well just keep plugging away, waiting
for when the AARP application shows up in the mail.
Hey, at least were swift enough to know who Anne
Frank is. That counts for something.

from University of Utah and other division one schools. Coach Warburton commented, Some of the
girls we played have previous played or still play at division one schools. A few were also All American
from division one schools.
The Lady Eagles put up a good battle against the tough experienced All-Star team. The girls won
the first and third game, but put a fight in the fourth and fifth game. Our girls played great and didnt
back down. We were able to battle the whole match, and not let down, Coach Warburton said.
The team stats have the Eagles averaging 8.5 kills, 7.2 sets, and blocking 2.5. Eagles have strong girls,
who fight hard on the court. There are many strong hitters and each girl contributes well to the team.
This Saturday, September 24, the Lady Eagles take on Colorado Northwestern Community College
at the USU-Eastern Campus. The team hopes you will support the Lady Eagles. Students with an ID
card get in free. Tickets prices are $5 for general admission, children age 6-12 are $3, children five and
under are free. Enjoy a bag of popcorn and cheer on your Lady Eagles.

Favorite thing about

USU Eastern: Everyone is nice &

dont look at the future before they do them.

Take good care of your clothes. Avoid excessive washing. To keep my clothes looking new, I have
decided to wash ones a month, so I do 12 laundries in a year. I was my underwears every week.
Last of all, what you wear means nothing if you dont have a good character to compliment that nice
outfit. Have some confidence in yourself. Walk with your head high. Believe in yourself because if you
dont, no one would. And ask if you dont know what to wear. There is nothing wrong in asking for help.
Dont use college as your reason to dress shabbily. Come to think of it, there wont be a time to enjoy
our self but now, when we leave college the struggle is not going to be any easier. Take advantage of
your youth. Let your grandchildren look at your college pictures and say, wow grandma was a hottie
or grandpa had a style.

Lemme get my pipe will ya?
Lemme get my pipe! by Depinna
when he is escorted out of the cellar

This play is definitely a taste of
how eccentric families can be, but
it highlights the fact that no matter
what kind of family you came from,
you love them unconditionally and
you will leave this play realizing
that. Definitely a cheesy/feel good
show that is worth seeing, said
Woodruff.
Madison Alleman, a junior at
Carbon High school in her home

moment in the play is the moment

that the kirbys show up unexpectedly. I love the silence then the
chaos, she said. Its a hysterical
play and its a nice feel-good play.
Tyrell Clement, a freshmen
at USU Eastern who attended
Emery High School and is from

Furlers, so I got pickled pigs feet

instead! Burgess said, This is
going to be hilarious, come for
a good laugh! We have the most
talented cast ever.
Dr. Ewans wife, Tammy, added
her favorite scene or moment,
This play and the film have been a
favorite of ours for the 26 years of
our marriage. There is no particular scene or moment. The whole
play is delightful. However, I do
like the fireworks part and when
Mr. Kirby accepts the differences
between the families and joins
them. Maybe we love it so much
because our home is very similar
to the one in the play.
If asked why someone should
see the play-It teaches us what
is really important; being true to
yourself and that home and family
is a matter of the heart and that
there is always room at the table
for one more.
Ticket prices for USU Eastern
students is $1 with a student activity card, without ID $5; faculty and
staff $5; adults $10; high school
and all other students are $5; senior

Austin Ashcraft is the perfect example of a student who wants to make a difference
Shadayah Jones
staff writer
s.jones@eagle.ceu.edu

As a college student, an individual can feel overwhelmed and

stressed at times. They feel as if
there is not enough time in the day
to accomplish what they need to.
They have class after class and a
load of homework every night.
They have priorities and an education is number one, but there are
a few students that stretch their
priorities and involvement past
the limit. One of those students
is Austin Ashcraft.
Ashcraft is a full-time student
at USU-Eastern, president of the

SUN Center and president of the

Institute Council. Along with his
commitments to the school and
community, he is taking 12-credit
hours and has a part time job. He
is an individual who is caring
towards others, whether a fellow student or a stranger on the
street. He is the perfect example
of a student who wants to make
a difference.
The main organizations that
Ashcraft is involved in are the
SUN Center. The center is an
orga n izat ion est abl ished to
provide service to people in the
community. The SUN Center is
involved with many service projects; an example, making quilts
for infants and volunteering at

the local schools.

Night in November.
Growing up, AshAustin Ashcraft
This is a time when
craft was never a

rebellious person, but he recalls

one time when he had to let his
wild side show. One time at the
annual Break Away Project we
had to hitchhike.
There were three vans that we
were using to transport us. We
were the last to leave and I guess
someone drove off with keys to the
van. So we had a van, but no keys.
So we had to hitchhike 30 miles
back where we were staying.
Although Ashcraft may not be so
proud of hitchhiking, there is one
thing he is proud of, his foosball
skills. I have mad skills, states
Ashcraft with much confidence.
On of Ashcrafts main goals
in life is to prove that chivalry
is not yet dead. He believes that

chivalry is something that should

exist but something that is slowly
disappearing. Another goal and
something that is very satisfying
to Ashcraft is making a difference. I love looking back and
seeing that I made a difference
and did something worthwhile.
There was one thing that changed
his life is when he read the Book
of Mormon. The principals that
in contains can make you want to
be a better person and make you
want to be better.
He is very involved. He is the
perfect example of someone who
is very committed not only to his
education but to the community.
Service is one of the great joys in
life, and Austin is soaking it all up.

the event, they ran out of everything and had to buy more to feed the crowds. The vocational faculty helped sponsor the annual event which started with 45 students its first year.

ock art photography and

Fremont Indian paintings
by two renowned artists
encompass USU Eastern Prehistoric Museums gallery from Sept.
24 through Nov. 12.
Francois Gohier, an international photographer, has created
a rich collection of images of rock
art of the Southwest United States
with emphasis on the Fremont
Culture of Utah.
Gohier grew up in the Basque
Country in Southwest France. He
developed an interest in wildlife,
geology and photography while
hiking and climbing in the Pyrenees Mountains between France
and Spain.
He volunteered in archaeologi-

cal excavations of caves occupied

by Paleolithic people in the foothills of the Pyrenees while in high
school. After studying mathematics and physics a the University
of Bordeaux, he worked as a land
surveyor, but a class in natural history photography at the National
Museum in Paris brought a change
of direction in his life.
Traveling and documenting the natural world became
Gohiers passion. Beginning in
South America, he photographed
landscapes and wild life from the
High Andes of Chile and Peru to
the rainforest of Bolivia, the plains
of Brazil and Venezuela and the
steppes and shores of Patagonia
in Argentina.

Years of work photographing

the gray whales in the lagoons of
Baha, Calif., and Mexico led to
work with other species of whales
and dolphins from Alaska to the
South Pacific.
His interest in European prehistory led him to search for traces
of Native Americans past, which
introduced him to the Southwest
and developing his collection of
images of rock art and the Fremont
Culture of Utah. He resides in San
Diego, Calif.
Joseph S. Venus, one of Utahs
finest painters whose photorealistic work includes people
and animals painted in the natural
background they live today, just as
they did in the past. His paintings

are known for their brilliant and

natural colors.
He paints wildlife, Native
Americans and prehistoric subjects, which are part of the permanent collections in museums
and private collections worldwide.
Some of his work can be seen in
USU Easterns Museum in the
Hall of Archeology.
As a signature member of the
Worldwide Nature Artists Group
in Clayton, Ontario, Canada, he
belongs to the exclusive international society of world-class
nature artists.
The museum is open six days a
week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Its art
gallery is located on the second
floor mezzanine.

Elder Holland admonishes students to not care about being

young or single, just grow up and pull your socks up
Shadayah Jones
staff writer

s.jones@eagle.ceu.edu
Not often does someone with
a high title come to Price, Utah.
On Sept. 17, that is exactly what
happened. Elder Jeffery R. Holland, a General Authority in the
Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
for The Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-Day Saint, spoke to the
young, single adults.

During the session on
Saturday, Elder Holland spoke

to the members of the church;

the lessons he spoke on can be
used in anybodys life. Elder
Holland spoke about becoming
an adult. He identified what it
meant to be an adult and he told
the young people attending that
even though you are becoming
older, things will not get easier.
He said that as you get older
you will be faced with hard times.
Everyone will have to go through
a hard time, or a trial, in their
lives. The most important thing
is to not give up.

He st a t e d
t h a t a s yo u
go through
this trial the
storms will
beat upon you
and things will
be tough. He
a dv i s e s t h a t
you must not
g ive u p b e cause you can
and will overcome it.
Brandi Sit-

ter ud attended
the session and
she said that her
favorite par t of
the entire thing
was the way he
spoke. He said
things that were
funny and easy
to understand. I
love hearing Elder
Holland speak because he is one of
my favorite General Authoritys.

During the session, Elder

Holland told the young members
of the church, that they must not
be afraid of growing up. You
all need to pull you socks up to
your elbows and become adults. I
dont even know if you are wearing socks, but if not put some on
and pull them up. Elder Holland
was saying that growing up and
becoming an adult in inevitable.
As a young adult, you should
not be afraid of what life will
bring you.

In the Church of Jesus

Christ of Latter Day Saints there

are levels of authority. The highest is the Prophet of the church,
who is Thomas S. Monson. Then
there are his counselors who
are Henry B. Erying and Dieter
F. Uchtdorf. These three men
make of the First Presidency
of the LDS church. Following
these men there is the next levels of authority, which are the
members of the quorum of the
twelve apostles. Elder Holland
was called to serve as a member
of the quorum of the twelve.

Testing center adds more hours; better for student schedules

Bring student ID card, a pencil or pen,
and (if needed) a calculator
Tadd Mecham
staff writer

t.mecham@eaglemail.ceu.edu
If USU Easter ns testing
hours are the question on your
mind then look no fur ther.
Enclosed in this mere article
is all the information you need
to successfully and punctually
take each test in the testing
center if your professors deem
necessary.
T he testi ng center is i n
op er at ion Mond ay t h roug h
Thursday. From 8:30 a.m. until
10 p.m., and Fridays from 8:30
a.m. until 7:30 p.m.
On the first Wednesday of
each month, the testing center
administers the GED test from
8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Regular
tests can be taken from 4:30 to

10 p.m. on those days.

The testing center will be
closed November 10 th, 15th, and
17th for ASE tests.
Although it seems hidden
from the rest of the campus, it
isnt a difficult place to discover.
The east outside entrance of
the SAC building is a common
answer to this question.
But for those that have never
done well with directions: Approaching the SAC building
from the Reeves Building, one
would simply go in-between
the SAC and BDAC buildings
and its the last door to the left.
Cant miss it.
The proper materials needed
to enter the testing center prepared are: a student ID card, a
pencil or pen, and (if needed)
a calculator. One entering they
will ask which class the test is

in, check the ID, ask you to sign

in, then lead you to an assigned
seat. While the test is being
taken you will be monitored
by the testing center staff. So
no cheating.
The testing center doesnt
have assigned time to ta ke
tests, it is basically a first come,
first-serve operation. If there
are three days to take the test,
do it on day one or two. There
is the slight possibility that the
center might become crowded
and your test will not be able
to be taken with an appropriate amount of time. Waiting
until the last minute is never a
good idea.
So basically, the testing center is very flexible time wise. So
study hard, be prepared, and for
heavens sake dont forget your
student ID.

At Dr. Fonnesbecks office you can always expect the best from everyone
