Utah State University-College of Eastern Utah has a rich tradition of athletic achievement. From the baseball diamond to the basketball court, the Eagles have a tradition of excellence. USU-Eastern has pro-duced teams that have competed for championships, (third in the nation by men’s basketball team in 2009), All-Americans and has sent many athletes on to Division I schools. However, with all of that excellence the athletic department

has the lowest budget in the Scenic West Athletic Conference, when compared to conference schools competing in volleyball, baseball and both men's and women's basketball.

For the 2010-2011 athletic budgets, Coach Dave Paur, athletic director for USU-Eastern, received $665,428. That budget was used for many different things including; scholarships for student-athletes which can include full tuition, housing, a meal plan and books; travel for away games; which includes boarding, gas to get the team to places as far as Northern

Idaho College, which is a 17-hour bus ride; and recruiting trips to attempt to get high school athletes to choose to attend USU-Eastern and put on a jersey to play for the college.

The amount of money in an athletic program isn't an exact reflection of competitiveness. In the men's basketball program, Coach Brad Barton's teams have had a better record in the SWAC than any other team. The men’s basketball teams have finished second the past two seasons, and also finished third in the nation two years ago. CSI finished third

and first, respectively, in the same time frame.

Despite the lack of funding for all sports at Eastern, all teams remain competitive even though always creating ways to raise money. The Eastern baseball pro-gram runs its recruiting budget on $0. In addition, assistant baseball coach KC Smurthwaite said "it's very difficult to recruit against schools with recruiting budgets, a lot of schools are starting to al-locate student fee money to help build recruiting funds."

The Salt Lake Tribune reported that Utah State Eastern has the low-

est amount of student fees set aside for athletics in the state. Eastern has allotted $20 of student fees that help support athletics. Not only is Eastern last of the state colleges, but is $22 off Snow College the next nearest school. Conference rival Salt Lake Community College sits at $60.

While USU-Eastern received a meager budget for an athletic program that is in the nations premier junior college conference. Many conference teams received double or even triple that amount to help supplement their athletic

Changes continue at Utah Sate University-College of Eastern Utah this year. One is the school name which was changed to Utah State University-Eastern or Utah State University-College of Eastern Utah which most, if not all, students already know. When coming back to school fall

semester, most of the USU Eastern community noticed the new banners displayed throughout campus. This is the first year that USU-Eastern has banners displayed throughout the school promoting itself. Misty Lowery, a sophomore at USU-Eastern says, “I like the banners; they are very welcoming to the students who are enrolled.”

Brad King, vice chancellor for administration & advance-ment, thought the flags were a good idea. “Yes, it shows that we are different from the past and that we are experiencing

change. The new banners are letting the students know that staff are embracing USU-Eastern and displaying what the school is becoming.”

The new banners were created by a designing team at USU and the public relations office at USU-Eastern. Ap-proximately 50 banners were ordered and only about 25-30 are hanging throughout campus. The banners are located on the light poles in the main walk way. King is hoping

The Edge’s Barajas and Wells bring home gold

USU Eastern students Sheraya Barajas and Kelton Wells successfully defended their national championship in Audio/Radio production at this year’s Skills USA championships. Held June 20-24 in Kansas City, Mo, the competition brought college teams from across the nation.

The Audio/Radio Production contest is designed to challenge con-testants in two-person teams to produce a 60-second audio production/radio commercial. The team has a limited specific amount of time over a two-day period to write their script, gather natural sound, record voice overs and edit their spot. They then burn their production to an audio CD. The contestants are judged on the professionalism of their produc-tion, the quality of the audio and the conveyance of the information to the listener. This year’s competition required the teams to interview competitors and exhibitors at the trade show held in conjunction with the Skills USA annual conference.

Students who compete in the Skills USA Audio/Radio competition are chosen from the staff of USU Eastern’s radio station, 89.7 The Edge. Barajas served as the student station manager during the 2011 academic year. Wells was the music director and traffic manager. Both students were strongly involved in the running of the station. “Sheraya and Kelton

Remembering 9-11 after a decade

Dave Adamsstaff writer

[email protected]

Sept. 11, marks the 10-year anniversary of the 9-11 terror-ist attacks on the United States. Between the World Trade Center, Pentagon and Flight 93, close to 3,000 people died on that day. (www.nymagazine.com) Since that day our nation has suffered tremendous losses. The U.S. has been engaged in war from 26 days after the attacks until today; we have sustained more than 5,000 casualties from the war alone.

It wasn’t until recently that the families of the 9-11 attacks were finally given justice for the loss of their loved ones. In May 2011, President Barrack Obama announced to the nation that the mastermind of the horrendous attacks was finally killed by the infamous Seal Team Six.

Country western artist, Allan Jackson asked the question best in his song, Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning? Looking back on this time of your life, can you still remember where you were, what you were doing or what you were thinking during the attacks?

“I woke up to my alarm clock going off around 6:30 a.m. and I heard President [George] Bush talk-ing about this heinous act that had been done to our nation, right then I knew it couldn’t be good. It was weird seeing the towers down, I had been to the top of those buildings many times when I lived in New York City,” said Dr. Alex Herzog.

Most of the up-coming genera-tion in school now, were too young to remember what was going on that day. One person that spoke out about this event, said that she remembers being mad at her parents; because her ninth birthday was a few days away and her parents were glued to the television to see what was going to get hit next.

Kike Murdock, a freshman from Minersville, Utah, studying wildlife management, was in the third grade when he came to school in the morning and was taken to an assembly room. “I had no clue what was going on; I had heard of

The dining room at USU-Eastern has gone through many changes for the new semester. The reason for these changes is to control food cost. Now that we are with USU, we have to go by their rules. “USU sells in one day what USU-Eastern sells in one year,” said Becky Archibald. The price went up a penny from last year. There is also a new full time chef in the dining room is Tony Archibald. And now the dining room offers a buffet rather than when students paid for everything they took.

The new motto in the dining room is “Eat what you take and take what you eat.”

There are new meal plans for the students to choose from, one swipe is one meal. Students can choose

Ultimately each team is judged on craftsmanship, how well they complied with their design draw-ings, and how well they worked together as a team. The week-long SkillsUSA competition ends with an awards ceremony where thousands of excited competitors, advisors, and family gather to find out the winners of each contest.

Victory is sweet and each member of the fabrication team walked away with over $1000 in prizes, including welding gear, Carhartt clothing, Kobalt tools, grinders…. Enough stuff that it wouldn’t fit into checked-baggage and had to be shipped back to Utah, Youngberg added.

Jake Clement represented

USU-Eastern in the individual welder competition and placed fifth out of over 40 state cham-pions.

USU-Eastern’s fabrication teams have taken gold or silver medals for four years straight. In the individual welder contest, USU-Eastern has brought home a medal in four of the last six years.

This year the award is being giv-en to Vicki Kulow (32 years), who retired as director of purchasing, and Steve Belnap (42 years), who retired from the business office. Kulow’s retirement was short lived as she returned last fall to assist in the USU Eastern SUN Center.

Two outstanding a lumni awards are being presented to Joe and JoAnn Goodrich and the former debate and forensics coach Neil Warren.

Joe and JoAnn GoodrichAfter graduating from CEU,

JoAnn continued onto USU and graduated with a bachelor’s and master’s degrees in communica-tive disorders and educational audiology, respectively. Joe earned his bachelor’s 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 Huntington 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 com-pany 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 with the Utah School for the Deaf.

Neil WarrenWarren taught 43 1/2 years

at the college, and says he would still be teaching if his eyesight was better. His debate programs were always top in the nation and he put Carbon College and College of Eastern Utah on the debate map against two- and four-year colleges and universities.

The size of the institution War ren’s debate team went against never mattered, his stu-dents were always some of the best in the nation. His teams won 24-national championships first place awards, four-second place and 13-third place. At last count, the team won almost 300 trophies during his tenure as their beloved coach.

He was named debate coach of the year by Weber State, South-ern 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 The-atre performance and service award to Price Junior Chamber of Commerce dist inguished service award are all part of his incredible career.

A graduate of Carbon Col-lege, 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 sci-ence 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.

War ren expla ined to h is 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 for the honorees will be from 6-6:30 p.m. with dinner and awards following at 6:30 p.m. in the USU Eastern Jen-nifer Leavitt Student Center. For reservations call 435.613.5256 before Oct. 1.

T h e c o m b i n a t i o n o f 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 f ields 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 s t r u c t u r e , l i n k i n g t h e Professional and Technical E duca t ion a nd Work force Education divisions at USU Eastern to an academic unit on USU’s Logan campus, provides diverse opportunities for our students ranging from certificate programs to doctoral degrees,” Miller said.

“The School of Applied Sci-ences, Technology and Educa-tion will create a value-added exper ience for a l l students enrolled in our programs.”

The ASTE Department on the Logan USU campus offers undergraduate bachelor of sci-ence degrees in agricultural education and family and con-sumer sciences education, which prepare students for licenser in secondary education, as well as

bachelor’s of science degrees in agricultural communication and journalism and agricultural systems technology.

The department also pro-vides career training for agri-cultural machinery students at the associate of applied science and certificate levels.

At the graduate level, the department offers a master’s of science degree and an inter-disciplinary doctoral degree in education with a specialization in curriculum and instruction, which is offered through the Emma Eccles Jones College of Education and Human Services.

The Division of Professional and Technical Education as USU Eastern in Price and Blanding provides a comprehensive set of programs that offer Associate of Science degrees, Associate of Applied Science degrees and certificates.

Workforce Education at USU Eastern offers noncredit programs through local agencies, businesses and industries with short- and long-term certificate training. It provides the Price community with the resources ne e d e d t o m e e t t a rge t e d workforce needs.

“The formation of the School of Applied Sciences, Technol-ogy and Education will provide programs like those offered by workforce education, the ability

to grow, expand and serve addi-tional student needs,” said Miles Nelson, associate vice chancel-lor for Workforce Education at USU Eastern.

Utah State University-Eastern volleyball Lady Eagles returned to the court after the summer break. They were the first students to return to campus, and the first team to play on the new court. The Lady Eagles began three-a-day practices on Monday, Aug. 15.

Returning as sophomores players include Nicole Roberts, Abigail Ericson, Danee Mer-rell, Joy Malone, Kylie Cordon, Miranda Parkinson, and Kristine Reddington.

New players to the team are Sa-mara Wells, Beth Liddell, Megan Peterson, Malorie White, Lindzee Bair, and Whitney Fieldsted. The team comes from Utah, Idaho and Montana.

Co-head coaches Chelsey Warburton and Grant Barra-clough were pleased with the way the team started off their practice season. “We had good three-a-day practices where the girls worked hard. You could tell who had not worked out as much over the break, and who was a little out of shape. They stepped up and made up the difference quickly,” Barraclough commented.

Typical with the beginning of most athletic seasons, there are bound to be injuries. Barraclough said, “We are working to rehab those with injuries.”

The Lady Eagles began their season play with a tournament invite to the College of Southern Idaho on August 26-27, 2011. The first games proved the team had little time to prepare. Many other schools at the tournament had been practicing since the first of August. “We were weeks behind because the other teams had been playing together for almost a month,” said Barraclough.

The team won a set in a match against a four -year school, Carroll College from Helena, Montana. Warburton said, “We tried dif-ferent rotations to see who could play well together.”

Barraclough added, “The dif-ferent rotations we tried didn’t gel well together. Carroll had really tall girls, who put us out of rhythm.”

Saturday fared better for the Lady Eagles. “Once we found the rotation that fit, it was too late to pull ahead,” said Barraclough.

Warburton added, “The girls played better on Saturday. We went five games against North-west College. There were a few service errors, but we worked better together.”

They team visited Salt Lake Community College on Septem-ber 2-3, for another four-game

tournament. Friday’s games had the Lady Eagles losing in three games against Western Wyoming. They then played North Idaho College and lost in five games. Saturday was also a struggle against Western Nebraska and

Southern Idaho. Coaches have great expec-

tations for this year’s team. Barraclough said, “We have a good defensive team. The de-fense makes other teams work hard to play us. We have the

offensive tools to beat teams with, but we have a strong and solid defense.” Coach War-burton said, “I expect the girls to become more comfortable with playing with each other. I also want to make our program

better and stronger.”The team will travel to

Arizona for a three-day tourna-ment September 8-10. They will finally be back in home territory on Sept. 16, for an All-Star game at 7 p.m. in the BDAC.

T-E-A-M, that spells team.

Okay, it’s only those with good memories or who have been here awhile who remember “Smurf Turf,” the thinking person’s sports column. “Smurf Turf” took a couple of years off while the columnist did what many young men of his faith do shortly after reaching the age of 19: We pin a name tag on our suits and head off for a couple of years and answer to the name “Elder.”

But I’m back now, and so is Smurf Turf. Why not pick up where we sort of left off, going back to a column published in December 2008? The title of that piece was “Earth to Craig Thompson,” and it was a call out to the Mountain West Conference (MWC) com-missioner to “expand now or pay the price.”

Fast forward to now, and Har-old Camping could only wish he had the Smurf’s crystal ball. Most of the dust has settled, and the MWC looks as though it got left behind. That gasping noise you hear is from a conference that is sputtering.

BYU? Announced their own football independence,

Utah? Set sail for the Pac-12.TCU? Headed to the Big East.

Just like that, the three big-gest draws are gone. Sure, Boise State signed on, and that would have been a nice little coup, had the three other schools stayed around the schoolyard to play ball with the Broncos. BSU becomes the consolation prize. One good school in, three better schools out.

While the MWC may be gasp-ing for air, the original Western Athletic Conference (WAC) is on life support. First, the Broncos defected. But that was only the warm-up. Hawaii, Fresno State, and Nevada are bolting for the MWC next year. Conference czar Karl Benson went on an expansion hunt that turned more into an ex-pansion scramble. He tried to play it cool, pulling the “no worries,” card from the bottom of the deck, but the future of the WAC is about as bright as a Sunday morning in Seattle.

So the WAC settled for the sure thing, which is to say it settled for less. During the WAC’s expansion scramble, it continually said that “universities with football pro-grams will be the focus.” Well, it sounded good, but in the end, the WAC invited the University of Texas-San Antonio (this will be the inaugural football season for the school), University of Denver (no football program, but a great hockey tradition ... close

enough, I guess), Texas State (yep, got a football program, although the winner of just four games last year), Seattle University (no football) and University of Texas-Arlington (no football, but vague promises to launch a program in the next five years).

Reports say that six schools from the Big Sky Conference were invited to join the WAC and all of them quickly said, “No thanks.” Big Sky Commissioner Doug Fullerton couldn’t resist throwing a little dirt in the general direction of the WAC when he said, “We’re in a better place than the WAC,” and you could hear the gulps all up and down the Continental Divide. Fullerton then followed up with comments about maybe the Big Sky should invite WAC teams Utah State and Idaho into the fold. Double gulp. Fighting words, anybody?

Let’s bring this a little closer to home. In case the WAC hasn’t noticed, there’s an up-and-coming sports program at Utah Valley University, just over the hill from here. Sure, UVU doesn’t have a football program, but remember, neither do Denver, Seattle and U-T Arlington. UVU was chomping at the bit to join the WAC but never got invited to the dance.

It’s a shame, because UVU is a rising star in athletics. The past two seasons, their major sports programs have posted a 75-25-1 record. And that stat DOES NOT include a UVU baseball team

that has gone 48-4 in the last two years. And the basketball team has 26 consecutive winning seasons. Ridiculous!

Some of you are thinking, “But it’s the academics ...” Not so! UVU’s academic standing has been on a steady upward swing, too. And the school once known as the place where kids went because they couldn’t get into BYU now boasts a larger student population than the campus higher on the hill. Who’s laughing now?

So here’s my take on it: UVU, don’t settle for the WAC. You can do better. The light is dimming on the WAC. And if the MWC wants to blow the candle out on the WAC, it should invite Utah Valley to the Mountain West. Of course, that football program hurdle will need to be worked out, but that’s not impos-sible to do.

More changes are in store. Texas A&M accepted an invite to the South-eastern Conference (SEC) at press time. The PAC-12 (or 16) is sitting pretty as the premiere conference west of the Mississip-pi. The Atlantic Coast Conference and Big East may merge. More moves and changes are

likely to come in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, the MWC, WAC, Big Sky and bunches of other small conferences are listen-ing for the clock to strike twelve and then preparing to turn into pumpkins.

How will they survive? I Don’t know. It’s a tough old world out there. You’ve got to be creative. You have to think outside the box. You’ve got to take some risks. Maybe it’s time to call little ol’ Rexburg, Idaho, and see if a once-mighty JC sports program there is willing to be resurrected.

Who knows? Such a bold move might be just enough to reduce the Endangered Conference List by one.

T-E-A-M, that spells team. You can ask any first or second

grader that you know to spell team, and hopefully, if our educational system isn’t completely failing, they will spell it that way. It really doesn’t take an English major to tell you that there is not an “i” in the middle of team.

We are in the middle of baseball season and football season started last weekend. With all of this go-ing on, I was thinking about what makes these sports so great. It isn’t necessarily watching a batter hit a walk-off home run in baseball or watching a football player run a kickoff back for a touchdown as time expires on the clock. The most thrilling thing about these sports is watching two different teams try their hardest to win.

A team is like a clock, from the outside, looking at the face of the clock you cannot see everything that is going on inside to make it all work, you just see the hands move to tell you what time it is. But if you remove the face and take a glance at the inside, you will see cogs and gears that are different in many ways all working together for the outcome that we see when we go back and look at the face. Teams are the same basic concept, many different moving parts that all work together to make the whole machine work, and hopefully win.

Last basketball season, I had the chance to go up to Idaho to watch the men’s basketball team play in their conference tournament game. Unfortunately, we lost the very first game that we played against Salt Lake Community College, and I admit that I was rather bummed. The lesson I learned that night will never leave me though.

While sitting in the lobby of the hotel with the assistant coaches, I learned an important concept about teams. Assistant coach Chris Skinkis, was blaming himself for the loss, saying he hadn’t worked hard enough and hadn’t been a good enough coach because the team lost. The other assistant coach, Chris Romney said that it was Skinkis’ fault because he made the entire team miss their free-throws and jump shots. What I realized was that it wasn’t the coaches’ fault that they lost, it was the teams’. The old adage, “win as a team, lose as a team” had never hit me so hard.

Teams that work together, play together and either fall short or are enshrined in glory together. Just like a sports team, we all have a group that we work with, whether it be an athletic team, an academic group, or even just the group that we hang out with. We are a part of the cogs and gears in that group helping to drive and work the machine that we are.

T-E-A-M; it is that simple, a group working together and no individu-als.

This is why teams have been on the tee.

Chris Craig will has been announced as Midland College’s new head basketball coach. Craig has served as the assistant coach/recruit-ing coordinator for the Univer-sity of North-ern Colorado in Greeley, CO, from 2010-2011. Prior to that, he served as assis-tant coach and later head coach for the College of Eastern Utah in Price, UT.

D u r i n g Craig’s coach-ing tenure, he led Eastern Utah to a Region 18 title and third place in the NJ-CAA Tourna-ment in Hutchin-son Kansas. He also signed 12 eventual Division I recruits at Eastern Utah. This past year, he helped Northern Colorado reach a Big Sky title and an NCAA Tournament berth.

Craig played basketball for Arizona Western

College from1999-2002 during their back-to-back ACCAC championships. From 2002-2004, he played on the University of Texas

Former College of Eastern Utah student, and sports editor of The Eagle, Nathan Davis has continued his work in the journalism field, and has been named the sports editor of The Signpost at Weber State University.

After leaving CEU in 2010 Davis who is originally from Idaho, transferred to WSU and started working on The Signpost as the assistant sports editor. During that year he contributed to an award winning sports page, but helping with the layout and design and covering multiple school sports.

Davis was responsible for cov-erage of the WSU women’s soccer team, and the women’s basketball team. He also occasionally covered stories for the News page of the paper.

At the end of the spring semes-ter, Davis applied for the vacant position of sports editor. He was given the job, and began work in the summer. He attributed his success in the journalism field to The Eagle faculty advisor, Susan Polster.

“I learned a lot from Susan,” Davis said. “She was a great men-tor and helped me realize a talent that I didn’t really know I had. She was also the reason why I came to Weber State. I’m really grateful for

the time I spent at CEU.”The transition to working at

WSU was something new for Davis, The Signpost is published three times a week.

“It took a while to get used to the new work load. But, I was able to take the fundamental things I learned at CEU and apply them here. I really learned a lot in Price.”

While at CEU, Davis worked closely with the athletics depart-

ment, forming close friendships with former CEU Men’s Basketball Coach Chris Craig, and many former CEU athletes.

Davis said his most memorable moment at CEU was getting to cover the Scenic West Athletic Conference basketball tournament

in his final year at the school.“I loved covering the SWAC

tournament,” Davis said. “It was so fun to be able to go to every game, and see all the talent. It was the most fun I’ve had as a reporter. Especially when CEU won the tournament.”

Davis is currently a junior at WSU, and is majoring in the communications field, and plans to graduate next year. He said he isn’t totally sure what he wants to do, but knows it will involve writing.

“I don’t know exactly where I’ll end up after school. I’d love to get a job covering sports for a newspaper somewhere. I’ve also thought about teaching, or doing PR. All I know for sure is I want to continue writing.”

While Davis is enjoying his time at WSU, he said the Eastern Utah would always hold a special place in his heart.

“I love Price and the Eastern Utah area. I wouldn’t mind living there after college. It gets a lot of flak from people who haven’t lived there, but it really is a nice place.”

At WSU Davis is continuing to learn and grow as a writer, and a journalist. He said he loves the school, and the newspaper there, but nothing could replace CEU.

Sports editor at Weber State University

The scene opens in total and utter chaos. Fans adorned in blue and gold attire wave foam

fingers, people are shouting war cries across the floor, and those guys who seem to be at every

campus event are painted blue and gold with a mes-sage across their bellies that is un-readable because they are standing out of order. Then, a hush falls over the crowd as the team comes into

sight. They’re tall, they’re fast, and suddenly all five starters are missing. They forgot to jump that hole, made by too many years of use, . Many, upon seeing the new floor in the gymnasium were

shocked and awed that the floor was not gold to promote school spirit, but rather as a testament to 25 years of annual refinish. Others, who had seen the change of the floor coloration over time, were likely moved to actions and words of religious gratitude. Remarkably, for an object given the status of relic, no one seemed particularly bothered by this change.

Basketball players, David Dawson and Demetrus Richarson, were moved to calling the court “Smooth” and “Gucci” respec-tively. While Candice Cornaby, a player on the USU Eastern

women’s basketball team, is just glad not to be “Slippin’ and Slidin’”.

This new floor was the product of favorable circumstances. When looking for a contractor to put the USU Eastern logo, created by the Logan graphic design team, Coach David Paur and Vice Chancellor Brad King, received a bid from Varsity Contractors to strip and redo the floor. Varsity, a Pocatello-based contracting com-pany that specializes in customer satisfaction, was able to do the project for $25,000 when in the past it would have cost $60,000 or

more. This bid included the logo in the middle of the floor, the full name of the school at either end of the court, and a darker finish in the three-point ring.

The project was approved by Chancellor Joe Peterson, and paid for by the operations and maintenance fund. The floor, which originally had an expected lifespan of 12 to 15 years, was then replaced after 25 years.

No, we never lost basketball players into the floor, nor was it ever a real possibility, but after a structural component to the building is classified as a campus

New year. Newname. New floor.

Coach Chris Craig and his daughter.

Coach Brad Barton didn’t have many predictions as to how well his team would do this year, just a lot of hope.

He certainly hopes that his team will do better then last year, and the second year head coach at USU Eastern feels that he has

guys with better character then last year.

Overa l l t he 2011-2012 men’s basketball team is better then their predecessors. Better character, better conditioned, and they have a better work ethic, reflected Barton.

“We are not as big as we have been in the past, I think we shoot the ball better, but we will struggle on the boards. I hope we can convince our smaller guys to all crash the board”.

As basketball fans know limiting you opponents second chance baskets is key to winning

games, and can be the difference between winning and losing.

Many fans remember losing in the play-offs last year against Salt Lake Community College, where the team stayed close but lost in the fourth quarter. I asked Coach Barton to take this years team and put it in a fourth quarter situation against SLCC during play-offs. Do they win? “Wow that’s tough to judge, I most certainly hope that we win, but at this point it is hard to tell, “ said Coach Barton

USU Eastern men’s basket-ball team was taking the added

effort to get well disciplined during open gym on Tuesday. Coach Barton laid down a tough foundation, telling players as they ran, to become mentally tough.

Other teams are not going to care if they are tired, they will not stop playing at a fast tempo to let our players rest, Barton reminded the team.

Barton feels they are the third or fourth most talented team in the conference and in order to become number one, the team needs to be mentally tough.

American poet and writer Joseph Brodsky wrote, “No matter under what circumstances you leave it, home does not cease to be home. No matter how you lived there—well or poorly.” An exhibit of photographs at USU Eastern’s Gallery East seeks to illustrate the dichotomies of persistence and change in Utah homes over time.

Photographer George Edward An-derson traveled throughout Central Utah during the late 19th and early 20th centu-ries. During his travels he shot portraits of families outside their homes and also took general “environmental portraits.”

Architectural Historian Peter Goss has returned to many of those places and re-photographed them. His exhibit of both the original and contemporary photographs in central Utah (Utah, Sanpete, and Emery counties) provides a look at change and continuity over the last century.

The exhibit is based on researching the extensive collection of Anderson’s negatives in the L. Tom Perry Special Collections at BYU. Once the existing sites were identified, they were re-photographed using a large format (5” X 7”) wooden filed camera, not unlike the type of camera used by Anderson.

The concept of re-photography,” Goss explains, “is an accepted practice among documentary photographers and usually

results in pairs of photographs (original and contemporary). These pairs may be considered from a number of viewpoints such as the effects of time and change.” The exhibit features 16 pairs of pairs of photographs---each showing a contact print of Anderson’s negative and a contact print of Goss’s re-photograph on the right. “

According to Goss, Anderson’s photographs illustrate various stages in the lives of individuals, couples and families on the streets, in their places of business, and in their homes and apart-ments. “As an architectural historian and documentary photographer, I find Anderson’s ‘environmental portraits’ important architecturally and culturally and, as seen in this exhibition, some ex-

amples appear to be little changed, while others have received varying degrees of modification to suit different fashions and lifestyles over the intervening 90-100 years.”

Goss’s re-photography project was financially supported by a creative research grant from the University of Utah’s Research Committee and the Utah Humanities Council’s Delmont Oswald Research Fellowship. This exhibit is partially supported with monies from the Utah Arts Council’s Grant Program.

Peter L. Goss is professor emeritus of architectural history at the College of Architecture & Planning, University of Utah and has written on 19th and 20th century American architecture.

In addition to photodocumenting the

historic architecture of the intermoun-tain West, Goss enjoys photographing the range sheep industry of the same region.

The exhibit, titled “The Rephotogra-phy of George Edward Anderson’s Envi-ronmental Portraits,” will be displayed at USU Eastern’s Gallery East from Sept. 6 through Oct. 6. Goss will be on hand during an opening reception on Friday, Sept. 9, from 7 to 9 p.m. Students, faculty, and visitors are welcome to attend.

Gallery East is open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The gallery is closed Fridays, weekends, and holidays. The exhibit is free and open to the public. For more information, contact the gallery at: 435-613-5327; or contact Noel Carmack at: 435-613-5241 or [email protected].

You did it, you made it to college. Congratulations, but now the work begins. A college education is only worth what you put in to it. Put in little effort and you get little out of it. However the reverse is also true put in a lot of effort and you will gain much from your college experience.

So what can you do to get the most out of your college education? Here are the top 6 things (based on my experience in working with college students) you can do to make the most out of going to college;

Practice Time Manage-ment. In high school your time is controlled (for the most part) by parental units or the school. In college, you control your time and that means learning how to manage it. Failing to learn to manage your time could cost you

the ability to graduate in time and having to take and pay for an extra semester. Advice: My advice: get a planner and use it. Write down all assignment due date sand do some backwards planning. Plan your fun time and your study time.

Stay Healthy. We all need to exercise or stay active. Studies indicate that exercise improves your mental well being and that can help make you a better student. We at USU Eastern are so fortunate to be surrounded by the great outdoors and outdoor activities like mountain biking, kayaking and hiking. Take advantage of the trips offered through Carbon County Rec-reation. If you like sports, try Intramurals on campus. Check with the BDAC to find out what is being planned for Intramu-ral activities or ask about the numerous physical education classes you can take. Also, be particular about where and what you eat. Make a conscious choice

and choose healthy alternatives. Spirituality is a wellness area that is often overlooked in col-lege although it’s an important element in student success. My advice: Sleep a t l e a s t 8 hours a day, stay act ive and eat right. (hit the salad ba r a t t he campus caf-eteria, best salad bar in Pr ice, UT) Make an ef-fort to sched-ule exercise and connect w i t h yo u r s p i r i t u a l needs.

Don’t be another face in the crowd! Stand up and be rec-ognized. The way to do that is to get involved on campus. Join a club and go to the activities on campus. Research indicates

that students that get involved on campus are more likely to graduate than those that don’t get involved. Getting involved will also give you an edge in after col-

lege. Employ-ers like to hire students that were involved o n c a m p u s . My a d v i c e , join a club and stay involved. Make an effort to get your Pro-fessor to know your name.

Won’t you be my Neigh-bor? Wheth-e r you l ive on campus or

off, go introduce yourself and get to know your neighbors. Community is im-portant and it’s that community that can offer help when you need it. My advice, go next door and knock on the door. Bring a treat

to share. Go to class and do the work.

It’s that simple. If you choose to go to college, don’t waste the opportunity by choosing not to attend class and do the work. Got a problem in class, talk to your instructor. My advice, got a life problem that seems unmanage-able, seek out help on campus by talking to staff member who can steer you to the right staff person. Find 2 classmates to study with for every class.

Know your money. College costs are rising across the Nation, so it’s important that you get the most out of college. Your choice to attend USU Eastern was a smart one as USU Eastern has the lowest tuition in the state of Utah. Dollar for dollar it is your best value for a college education. However, that being said you will still need money to pay for classes, books and extra-curricular activities. If you are seeking financial aid be patient that office, you aren’t the only

one. Look for a part time job on campus and do not work more than 15 hours a week. Studies indicate that working more than 15 hours a week will affect your studies negatively. My advice: make a budget, stick to your budget and work a part time job. Remember, a credit card is not free money!

USU Eastern offers a class called College Success Skills that can help you adjust to col-lege life and increase your study skills. Don’t think that the class is an easy “A”. You have to do the work and if you do you will learn much. In the past, students who have taken this class show a much higher grade point aver-age in college than students who do not.

Getting through college is not easy but it is doable. The college offers many support services that can assist you but you must take the initiative to ask for help. It’s all up to you but we are here to help. See you around campus.

How far have you traveled? Just across the border to Mexico maybe? A cruise? Time to consider a somewhere a bit more exotic. Just picture yourself in

Switzerland, Italy & France next summer on an “Adventure in Europe.” Airfare, nine nights stay in hotels (11 with extension), complete European breakfast daily, six dinners, a bilingual tour guide, five sightseeing tours, and entrances to special attractions are all included in the price of $3,224.

There is a two-day extension to Paris available for an extra $435. The adventure begins on May 17, 2012 and returns on May 27 (or 29th with extension).

The trip starts with a tour of Lucerne where the Alps providing a stunning backdrop of this city. After Lucerne is a trip to Venice

where you will visit St. Mark’s Square and the Grand Canal and see a glass-blowing demonstration.

Next it is on to Rome and a tour of Vatican City, the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon and the Spanish Steps. At Florence you can visit the fa-mous Duomo, visit the classical

statues of Piazza della Sisnoria and watch a leather-making dem-onstration.

Next it is on to Pisa to see the Leaning Tower and then to soak up some rays on the French Riviera. You will also visit the principal-ity of Monaco and tour a perfume factory. The two-day extension

will continue the adventure on to Paris. Go home with new friends, more education than you can find in a classroom, tons of incredible photos and the best memories of your life. Contact Betty Hassell for more information at Reeves 174, 613-5270 or e-mail at [email protected].

Caine College of the Arts and Eastern Utah Theatre open the 2011-2012 theatre season with Kaufman and Hart’s classic American comedy, You Can’t Take it with You.

Written in the mid 1930s, the play tells the story of the Sycamore family, an eccentric and loving family who live life to its fullest despite having the world tell them to live according to their dictates.

Rehearsals began with a cast of old faces, new faces and just plain faces. Playing the head of the Sycamore Family, Grandpa Van-derhof, is community actor John Behn, previously seen as Caesar Rodney in the CEU production of 1776. Anne Moray from Olympus High School and Cisco Commu-nity College is playing Penelope Sycamore; Wilford Woodruff is playing her firework making husband, Paul. Bethany Gilmore Woodruff of Aberdeen, Scotland is playing Alice Sycamore. Her ballet-dancing sister Essie, is being played by Altamont High School graduate, Savannah Miller. Her husband Ed is played by Jerid Clark. Rheba and Donald who live with the Sycamores are played by high school senior Madison Alle-man and Seth Burgess.

Mr. Kolenkov, Essie’s dancing teacher is played by Emery High School graduate Tyrell Clement. Alice’s fiancé Tony is played by Andrew Mahalik from Las Vegas and his parents are being played by Scott Westwood and D. J. Laugh-bon of South Sevier High School. Rounding out the large ensemble cast are, Scott Zaborski playing Mr. DePinna, William Gibsom playing IRS agent Mr. Henderson, Kimberly Hayes as the actress Gay Wellington and Carrie Huffaker as the Grand Duchess Olga Katrina.

Finally three actors take on the role of “J” men; Timothy Swensen, Shawn Forsythe and Brandon Wheeler. These actors bring a strong talent and performance ethic to this show.

This is one of the most delight-ful plays of the American theatre. It is fast paced and features some interesting characters and some fireworks.

“At its heart it is a story about the importance of balancing life and work, and accepting the difference and eccentricities of others,” said USU Eastern’s Dr. Corey Ewan. “I saw this play first in 1976 as part of a theatre tour from the Promised Val-ley Playhouse and was privileged to play Paul in a production at the Old

Lyric Theatre in Logan. I believe the timing for this play couldn’t be better considering the economic climate and the general sense of fear and unrest in the world and our community. It is a feel good play and really very charming and funny,” Ewan continued.

Performance dates are Septem-ber 29-30 and October 1, October 3, 4 and 6-8. Curtain time is 7:30 p.m. at the Geary Theatre on Eastern Utah’s campus. Ticket prices for USU Eastern students is $1 with a current student activity card, without ID $5; faculty and staff $5; adults $10; high school and all other students $5, senior citizens $7.

This year we have added three more performances to our roster of plays in an effort to give everyone a better chance of seeing these plays. Rounding out Eastern Utah Theatre’s Season is Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet directed by Todd Olsen, See How They Run by Philip King, directed by our guest director Martin Kelly and finally The School for Scandal a restora-tion comedy by Richard Brinsley Sheridan directed by Ewan.

This is a solid season of comedy, farce and tragedy and we hope to see you at the theatre, Ewan added.

“Where’s the WIB building?” If this question were to be asked to a student, freshman or sophomore, they would probably be scratching their head. Some may even go in search of a newly constructed building on campus.

However, there is no new build-ing, an old one is just getting a fresh, more suitable, title.

The Computer Business Build-ing, or CBB, is now going to be known as the West Instructional Building, (WIB). The name CBB had been an outdated title, seeing as no computer or business pro-grams have been taught there for nearly five years. The title change came about when it was decided that new signs for each building would be installed this summer. The staff and faculty were asked

for suggestions on what the new name should be.

The Chancellor suggested West Instructional Building, because it can be subject to change. The name WIB is being used as a placeholder in case someone makes a generous donation. In the event that a dona-tion is made, the building will then be renamed after the donor.

Before serving as an educa-tional building, the WIB was used for many different things.

In the years before 1981 it was used as a hospital. In 1981, the building was empty. It was used as a dormitory from 1982 and 1983.

CBB is no more, and has of-ficially become West Instructional Building (WIB). Not a big change, but a very necessary one. If you are feeling generous, you can make a donation in excess of $1 million and the building can be named after you. If you want everyone knowing your name…donate today.

throughout campus including by the Western Instructional Building and on 3rd East and 4th North. The new banners show a physical representation of the difference between the past and the future. They are showing that the USU-Eastern is growing and changing with time. Along with the new banners many more things will be changing. All of

the old building signs will be taken down and replaced with new ones. “This will be a long process, but overtime we are hoping that we can change everything so we can show the new USU-Eastern,” states King. He hopes that the staff and students will “Experience the Change” that the school is evolving into.

between the following plans: three a week for $299 which is three meals a week in the dining room and one meal a day. The second option is 10 a week for $999 which is 10 meals per week in the dining room. The third option is 14 a week for $1,399 which is 14 meals per week in the dining room.

Finally, the last option for the students is 40 a semester for $299 which is 40 meals per semester in the dining room. All of these plans have one-transfer meal per day, which means that students can use their card once a day at the Golden Grille.

If students decide to pay cash; breakfast is $6.49, lunch is $7.99 and dinner is $8.99.

All of the residents that live on campus are required to purchase a traditional meal plan. The students living in a cooking room will be required to purchase a minimum plan of three meals a week. The students living in a non-cooking room will be required to purchase a minimum plan of 10 meals a week.

There are also new serving hours at the caf-eteria they are; 7:30-9 a.m. for breakfast, lunch

is from 11:30 a.m. until 1 p.m., and dinner is from 5-6:30 p.m. The Golden Grille hours are Monday-Friday from 10 a.m.-3 p.m.

There is now a four-week rotating menu; there will be different food every day depending on how much it sells. For example, on Tuesdays and Thursdays there will always be gourmet pizza because the students loved it, Archibald said. Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays, the cafeteria will have the taco bar. For dinner on Wednesdays and Fridays there will be the seven-inch pizza.

For breakfast; on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays there will be a sandwiches and French toast. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, there will be omelets and breakfast burritos. Some of the everyday items will be the waffle bar, fruit bar, and pastry bar. Also the cafeteria will offer eggs, potatoes and meat; like sausage, bacon or ham, every day.

The dining room buffet rules; there is no food to go, no sharing with friends. Pay as you enter the cafeteria, also no backpacks, or hood-ies. “The only disadvantage that comes from

the changes is that students cannot just come in and hangout in the cafeteria,” said Archibald

Some of the things the cafeteria still offers are 15 toppings and two dressings for salads; including homemade bleu cheese.

The dining room close on Thanksgiving, Christmas and spring break. But as for the other holidays, they will stay open.

“It helps to have the support from USU,” said Archibald. The hardest change that she faced when going through this was when the I.D card machine went down, so students had to have both their I.D. card and a temporary meal card as well. On the other hand, there are also some changes that made it simpler. For example; the payroll system and the point-of-sell system are now controlled at USU; which means less paper work.

“I’m always open to new suggestions and ideas from students,” said Archibald. There is a suggestion box located in the cafeteria where students can leave a note. “If they leave a name and number I will definitely get back to them,” she said.

room. “I had no clue what was going on; I had heard of the Twin Towers but didn’t really know what had happened. Next thing I knew we were being sent home because of this horrible tragedy,” he explained.

The day 9-11 will be burned like a hot branding iron into my brain. My life took a significant turn on that day that I will never forget.

I served in the U.S. Army for nearly 10 years and was stationed at Ft Hood, Texas. Lying in bed that morning not feeling well; I heard over the radio that the nation was under attack. Immediately I went to work only to find my unit was issuing weapons and the commander shouting out orders of what to do.

Mass chaos is the only way to describe what was going on. We were not prepared for such an attack on our own soil. Instantly a base of 300,000 soldiers and workers came to a halt and was locked down; no one in, no

one out. From that point I was on standby for the next year. Since then I served three tours in the Middle-East fighting for peace and democracy.

The Eagle was in full production mode on the Tuesday of 9/11. Front page was laid out and ready to go to press when staffers first heard about Twin Towers. The paper was still being printed in black and white when a photo of the Towers collapsing came across the news wire. The layout staff frantically redesigned the front page and watched as the events continued to unfold. Rarely does The Eagle contain national material, but the staff wrote a story about the attack in New York Pennsylvania and Washington D.C. It’s adviser, Susan Polster, remembers the somberness of the staff that day as more details were given. Everyone kept watching the Internet updates in disbelief.

After 10 years, the nation should never forget September 11, 2001.

SUN Center starts year off strong

Austin Ashcraftstaff writer

[email protected]

With the start of the new school year, the SUN Center has wasted no time in getting started with service projects. The first major projects of the year will occur this Saturday, Sept. 10. Volunteers will pile into mini-vans and drive out to either Active Re-Entry to help with the “Day of Caring” or to Huntington to help with the Little Grand Canyon Mammoth Marathon.

The United Way’s “Day of Caring” will start with a kick-off event at the Cultural Connection Peace Gardens at 5:15 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 8. Saturday morning, there will be a breakfast for volunteers at Fresh Market at 7:30 a.m., then the volunteers will split up and build a fence and install a drip system for Active Re-Entry, Clean areas of Wood Hill, and do yard work at several homes in the community. The SUN Center has partnered specifically with the projects at Active Re-Entry, and will take a team of volunteers to help out.

Another team of volunteers will be helping at the Mammoth Marathon, starting out in Huntington. They will be stationed every two miles along the race to fill cups of water for the runners.

Any who are interested in helping with either one of these or many other projects should contact the SUN Center in JLSC 207.

received a budget of $3,014,442. CSI competes in two extra sports, rodeo and softball. Snow College, our neighbors across the mountains to the west, had a budget of $1,638,755. Snow does not play baseball however; instead they compete in football and softball. Salt Lake Community College had a budget of $1,547,085. SLCC competes in all of the same sports and have also opted

to compete in softball, yet they still receive double the athletic budget. Even Colorado Northwestern Community College has a larger athletic budget than USU-Eastern. CNCC received an athletic budget of $825,475. It has also been reported that the CNCC President, Russell George ,has said that their athletic budget will be substantially

increased to help make their athletics program be more competitive. If Paur can run a competitve and even winning sports programs on this meager budget, what would be possible if a larger budget was in line for USU-Eastern’s athletic department? Perhaps more sports could be added to the athletic department including softball, football or soccer..
