In the event of a fire in Sessions Residential Hall at USU Eastern, 1,200 feet of hose may be needed to save lives.

In April 1989, the Utah State Legislature enacted the Uniform Building Standards Act Utah 58-56 (UBS) in an effort to create uniformity in the construction requirements throughout the state. Prior to April 1989, building re-quirements were at the discretion of the municipalities or counties. Article one, section nine of the U.S. Constitution, prevents the act from being imposed on build-

ings built before the passing of the UBS.

As a matter of public safety, Utah R710-4-3 requires at least one fire drill per nine-month school year as long as the building has a functioning alarm system, detailed floor plans, is not classi-fied as a high rise, and does not contain excessive quantities of hazardous materials in academic buildings. The drill requirement does not require proximity to an external water source or necessi-tate an internal sprinkling system.

The Eldon B. Sessions resi-dential hall (Sessions) was last renovated and dedicated in Oc-tober 1988.

While the occupants of Ses-sions have previously been de-pendent on a hydrant on the south side of the hall, during an annual test during the summer, the Price Water and Sewer Dept. and USU personnel found a leak in the water source. The hydrant has since had a bag placed over it, to ensure that it is not tapped in the event of a fire.

“The problem with this hy-drant is that we can’t just repair it. It needs to be moved to another location.” Steve Bell, Utah State University fire marshal, said in an email, “A new location has been selected, which will serve [as] the fire sprinkler system for Sessions

The USU Eastern Price campus was in a state of near lock down and confusion on Tuesday, Sept. 25, when a local resident allegedly shot a high-powered rifle into the air near campus.

At about 6 p.m., Officer Cletus Steele, of campus police, was in the parking lot behind the USU Eastern purchasing and receiving building when he heard the report of what he identified as a high-powered rifle. Steele was the first officer on scene at 660 North 200 East, Price.

Price City Police, who were short handed that eve-ning, arrived five or six minutes after the shooting, followed by the county and

state police. Helper Police Chief Trent Anderson and USU Eastern Police Chief James Prettyman came later to assist. The officer on duty in Wellington offered to assist, but wasn’t needed at the time. Sergeant tracy Allred was the first of the city police to take charge, but was relieved shortly after by Captain Bill Barnes.

Attempting to contact the resident, Ralph Schade, the police were unable to find any phone numbers for him. Un-able to get a car close enough to the house without putting an officer in danger due to the dis-tance of the front of the house to the street and the alley run-ning parallel to the back, the police attempted to contact Schade by megaphone.

Witnesses claim that they saw Schade step into his front

yard and fire two to four times into the air with either a high-powered rifle or a shotgun, to both of which types of weapon he, as a hunter, would have had access. None of these witnesses claim to have seen him leave; the city police speculate that this could have been easily done through the alley behind the house.

According to a KSL report and the Price City Police, Schade and his wife deny any involvement.

On scene, Steele called Prettyman with what he knew. Prettyman then contacted Blaney Hanvey, residential life coordinator. Hanvey sent texts to the residential advi-sors, “Please have all residents stay inside. We need them to stay out of the way of police. Don’t give any more informa-

Eastern has the least name recognition of any other institu-tion in the state, according to Greg Dart, director of enrollment services. “We’ve got to market better than anyone in the state and that’s what we plan to do,” Dart said speaking of the USU Eastern ambassador team.

Last year, 2011-2012, 98 potential students attended the

seven Eagle Experiences planned to come onto the Eastern campus and see how their life could be. As of Thursday, Sept. 27, 2012, exactly 500 potential students were signed up for the seven Eagle Experiences planned for this year. Dart said, “These numbers are nothing short of amazing.”

Eagle Experience is a vital part of recruiting of USU East-ern. Someone who has visited a college campus is four times more likely to enroll. Someone who goes on an overnight visit

to a campus has an 80 percent likelihood of enrolling for the fall semester.

New strategies have taken over the ambassador presentation to the many college days attended throughout the year. Rather than a presentation of facts and figures, such as tuition costs, ambassadors give potential students a look into what life is really like on the USU Eastern campus. An outline of a very involved student’s life is shared to demonstrate how

Internet services at USU Eastern’s residential units were listed as poor, as well as the enforcement of visitation hours, according to a fall 2011 survey of residential life residents. The survey asked questions about students’ experiences on campus, housing, activities and food. They were asked to agree,

disagree or remain neutral to a series of questions about cam-pus life.

Most students agreed that they would recognize their hall director if they passed in the hall, however, students seemed less comfortable actually talking to their hall director about issues or concerns. Most students seemed more comfortable in going to their RA (resident advisor) with problems.

Word was getting out about

hall activities with responses of “agree” and “strongly agree”, although most students said that they do not actually attend such events. When asked to give ideas for what activities they would like to see in their halls students suggested more parties and more food.

When the survey asked how life at residence hall could be improved most said that they dislike having visitation hours

Three senators, four members of the Utah House of Represen-tatives and state administrators visited the USU Eastern campus on Sept. 25, to take a closer look at the plans for the proposed arts and education building.

The purpose of the visit was to let the legislator see the improve-

ments (Reeve’s and the WIB) that have already been made to the USU Eastern campus, as well as see the third of the campus that still needs to be updated (the SAC, Geary Theater and music building).

USU Eastern administration hoped that the visit would help the legislators see the need on campus for the building. And that they did, “They expressed great understanding and sympathy,”

said Chancellor Joe Peterson. However, they expressed con-cern towards enrollment at USU Eastern. Peterson agrees that enrollment is an issue on campus.

The USU Eastern recruitment team is making strides towards raising enrollment for fall 2013. If future enrollment increases, USU Eastern administration expects to be another step closer to receiving funding for the pro-posed building.

In the event of an emergency on the USU Eastern-Price campus, only 136 people would be informed as of Sept. 25.

The Code Blue system uses students’ preferred email address and phone contact information to spread information about emergencies or hazardous situations that might require students to evacuate or stay where they are. The information is given to a few university authorities who can either use it to send out messages prepared in advance or to create warnings and send them to students.

USU Eastern’s SUN Center and athletic department were key players in the Active Re-Entry’s 9th Annual Run, Walk and Roll Marathon on Sept. 23, in Price. Over $13,200 was raised by the 107 participants, said Liz Martinez from Activie ReEntry According to Terry Johnson, SUN Center director, 40 people

from the USU Eastern commu-nity gave $15 each to sponsor the 58-race participants in the Annual 5K race. Some spon-sored more than one runner. We needed participants who were in fairly good shape so the athletic department took on our challenge. This helped on at least three levels: assisted our student

athletes to be better prepared for their games, served those in need in the community and brought a smile to your own heart, he said.

One half of the baseball team showed up to run that morning as well as basketball players. Active Re-Entry didn’t turn them away and let them run for the cause. Coach Paur offered to make up

the difference between the 48 sponsorships we had collected and the 58 that actually ran, but we didn’t feel that was necessary as the physical support was a big help, Johnson said. Besides that, a few extra bodies meant there were more there to buy bread, pies, donation tickets, etc., so it

Three things that you didn’t know were making you smarter

Last week I depressed you by saying three things that were mak-ing you dumber without you know-ing it. And I feel bad about that, I really do. In effort to make things up, I’ve decided to perk you up

with this newest article, and

so without f u r t h e r ado, I pres-

ent you with three unsus-

p e c t i n g t h i ngs

that can boost your brain power in ways that you would never expect. Things like…

3-What you’re wea r ing: Throughout this article I will make reference to studies done by scientists and researchers because, well, most of us accept that scien-tists are smart guys. But what made them qualified? Genes? That so called education? What if it turns out that their secret is those fancy lab coats they’re always wearing? Well surprise! In a study known as a Stroop test (it measures brain-power) scientists tested a group of participants where half of them were dressed in a lab coat while the others were dressed normally. The results? Those wearing the lab coats only made half the mistakes

of those who didn’t wear the coats.While I would like to wish that it

simply takes a lab coat to suddenly have 45 extra IQ points, apparently it doesn’t work like that. And just to make sure that this wasn’t some sort of insane fluke, they made another test, where participants had to find the differences between similar pictures. With this test, some of the participants were given lab coats while the other stayed in their ordinary clothes. Of those in the lab coats, half knew they were in actual lab coats while the oth-ers were told they were in simple painters clothing. Again the results showed that those in the lab coats had scored significantly higher than those who thought they were in painter’s clothes as well as those

in regular clothes. The researchers believe that

wearing a lab coat simply makes us feel smarter, and as other psycholo-gists have found; simply believing you’re smarter actually makes you smarter. Of course on the other hand, this seems to mean that we all think that painters are idiots.

2 -Your Attitude. Yes I know that many people are fans of a positive outlook on life and say thanks to it, they make it through the day, leave their house with a smile and come back with that same one plastered over their face. To them, the world and their job is nothing but sunshine and gumdrops. Psychologists, soci-ety, even our parents would like us to believe that our positive mood swings make us and the world a

better place. Better? Debatable. But more intelligent - absolutely not.

Multiple studies have proven this, and one Australian researcher has even gone as far as to say, “Angst and sadness promote information processing strategies best suited to dealing with more demanding situations.” To prove this he made participants watch short films about cancer and death which provided a natural excuse for the somber mood before passing out different tests. These tests were designed evaluate arithmetic, past recollection and even judgment. When the time for grading came, he found that those who had been subjected to the films had made fewer mistakes, were better judges of character, and

Sometimes it seems like it was yesterday, while other times it seems like it has been an eternity since the sudden death

of beloved coach and mentor Brad Barton on the one-year anniversary of his death Oct. 4. What remains are the memories of the man whose life was cut short too soon, but whose legendary principals live on in so many people whose lives he affected in countless ways.

On Sunday, his facebook page was updated with a photo of him as a young child and another of him as an adult. In his handwriting on 12/24/09, he signed Brad Barton, 6’ 1 1/2” and wrote, “Tomorrow is a promise to no one.” Whether it be deju vu or just drawing the short straw, Barton’s 31 years provided a lifetime of memories to everyone he came in contact with.

Oct. 4, 2011It was a typical Tuesday night

on Oct. 4, 2011, for The Eagle staff. The front page was almost laid out and all the pages were being filled with what would turn out to be mundane stories in comparison to what was unfolding in the BDAC.

Coach Barton had not shown up for practice that afternoon so his assistant coach Brian Edelstein drove to his apartment in north Price to check on him. He found the

coach, who fought diabetes since he was 14, dead in his bathroom.

Tears poured in buckets throughout campus that week, as the disbelief of this tireless, energetic and driven coach was remembered. His facebook page was filled with a makeshift memorial to honor him as

a friend, son, brother, player, coach and most important, as an incredible human being. Hundreds attended his funeral at the Weber State Dee Events Center in Ogden and his candlelight vigil in Price. He was buried in a basketball uniform, in a wooden casket reminiscent of the wood strips on a basketball court with his team signing the outside of it.

September 2012 His September 2012 facebook posts

included, “Today I will seize the day with passion because I know if Brad Barton were here, he’d do the same. How many lives can be touched by one man? Brad knew and I now know the power of one…” by Travis

Fey. Former Eagle staffer and EU basketball player Jasmine Petit, posted, “You might not be here physically, but you will always be in my heart.” Others wrote “always re-membered, never forgotten.” Another wrote, “this is hard, not a day goes by that I don’t think of you and miss you. You have been that person for me and I know you always

will be. Playing for you tonight…”On campus this week, Athletic Director

Dave Paur said, “It’s hard to believe Brad has been gone for one year. It seems like yesterday he came busting into my office, ‘Coach P, this is my all-time favorite book; I love it and know you will love it too.’ That

book is still on my desk, a reminder of a gentle giant whose memories will always be with me.”

Dean of Students, Alex Herzog, added,“When a drop of water hits a pond, it creates ripples that will cover the surface of the pond. Brad was that drop of water and USU Eastern and Price was the pond. His passion for life resonated with everything he did and he touched a lot of lives in our community. Brad was a great guy, good friend and sorely missed.”

Former Eagle editor and assis-tant baseball coach, KC Smurth-waite, said, “I remember speaking

to Brad the day before he died. He was pretty up-beat after having a good day of practice. He really loved basketball and think he would have moved on to bigger stages after Eastern. One thing I will always remember is that he always made an effort to talk to me. I can still remember the goofy face he

The second amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees, “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” Utah State University, while it doesn’t necessarily infringe that right, will not tell you the extent to which you may exercise your constitution-ally guaranteed autonomy with weapons.

The University of Utah has maintained that the protection of the first amendment right to free exchange of ideas and information without reason to fear or be coerced requires that firearms be removed from academic environments en-tirely. In March 2002, the U of U filed suit against Attorney General Mark Shurtleff, who argued that the ban on weapons infringed on

the rights of those who are permit-ted to carry concealed weapons anywhere other than legislatively determined safe zones. The result of this lawsuit is found in Utah 53B-3-103.

In an effort to maintain the integrity of Utah as a free state, the state limits the carrying of firearms in prisons, courts and airports. On the campuses of publicly funded institutions of higher education, Utah 53B-3-103 stipulates that it is the privilege of the state legislature to regulate firearms. The section gives the power to establish no more than one secure area at a college for use as a hearing room, in which firearms may be banned to the institution. Furthermore, the state code authorizes institutions to institute rules permitting residents to request roommates who do not carry currently valid concealed carry permits.

It does not mandate that all institutions must make such a rule, nor does it permit the school to require that students without concealed carry permits not keep other, potentially deadly, weapons in their residences; a right which could be interpreted from Utah 76-2-405 which permits deadly force in the protection of an individual’s habitation.

The USU Eastern residential life handbook prohibits in the residential halls, “Firearms or other weapons, per the code.” It is often stated by residential life authorities, that those wishing to keep firearms at the college may keep them in their vehicles or in the purchasing and receiving/police station.

The USU Student Code V-3 B-20 (section relating to miscon-duct) warns students that disci-plinary action will be taken in the event of, “Illegal or unauthorized

possession or use of a firearm, am-munition, explosives, weapons, or dangerous chemicals on University property.”

The CEU Code of Conduct 4.1.11 prohibits: “Illegal or unau-thorized possession of firearms, explosives, other weapons, or dangerous chemicals on college premises or use of any such items, even if legally possessed, in a man-ner that harms, threatens or causes fear to others.”

While it is a citable offense in the state of Utah to brandish firearms or use them to threaten without cause, neither the state nor the school define “what threatens or causes fear.” It would seem safe to say that there will always be those who will fear firearms, and that by so stating in the code of conduct, USU Eastern effectively bans fire-arms from residential halls.

While many acquire concealed

carry permits so that they may carry outside of their homes, the state of Utah recognizes the right of individuals to carry firearms without such permits in their habi-tations, and effectively recognizes automobiles as an extension of an individual’s habitation.

That the college, state and fed-eral codes permit the possession of firearms on college campus by those who are not using them for intimidation or in a threatening manner, is not something that the residential life authorities will tell the student body. The college may limit open carry to law enforce-ment, but is not afforded the privilege of limiting con-

The project is being advertised for contractors to bid. The bidding process is projected to last into No-

five phone numbers which can be called or texted in the option “View/Update Code Blue Emergency Alert Phone Numbers” under the “Personal Information” tab. The process is accessible to anyone currently attending or employed by USU. It takes a few minutes and could be the difference between

life and death. According to Judy Crockett,

USU emergency management coordinator, as of Friday, Sept. 28 there were approximately 42,000 contacts for all of USU. There were about 1,290 contacts attending USU Eastern campuses, of which 136 were students and faculty at

the Price campus. Members of the USU Eastern

community are encouraged to sign up. The process is free and contact information is given only to a few individuals who have the authority to send a warning.

and that they feel like they are still being treated like children with a curfew. Others complained that they don’t think a person’s body should be considered an open container and that the Internet ser-vices were poor. Others thought life in residence hall was great and that nothing could be changed to improve their experience.

Students were satisfied when it came to dining services staff being clean and courteous. The

topic of the food served wasn’t given such a good review. While some still “strongly agree” that “the overall quality of food served is excellent,” many others selected “disagree” and “strongly disagree.”

When the survey prompted comments on how dining ser-vices could be improved, most suggested better food quality and more variety, not certain food being offered a certain day of the

week, every week. Other com-ments included, more seating by the Golden Grille and more meals offered on a meal card, or go back to a monetary value instead of by meal.

Coordinator of Residential Life, Blaney Hanvey, said, “Resi-dential Life Policies and Proce-dures are designed to promote academic success, student safety, and provide a comfortable living environment to students.”

students can be a “somebody” at Eastern and have opportunities to do what they love. “What do we do better than anyone else?” is the question Dart says he asks himself when recruiting. Student experience and involvement is the answer to that question, and what the team focuses on.

At college days, where recruit-ers from all the colleges visit high schools, and prospective students fill out their information on an iPad using the “Forms” application. They can also sign up for Eagle Experience. Information submitted through Forms is electronically filed. A follow-up email will be

sent within 12 hours of contact. Ambassadors no longer have to keep track of post cards and call each person. Students can also list what subject they are interested in studying then their information will be shared with the relevant departments who can then contact them as well in a timely manner.

tion - possible gun.” Hanvey later clarified that the

request not to give further informa-tion to residents was in an effort to stop the spread of rumors and not a gag order.

Officer Jason Marshal, who was in the Bunnel Dmitrich Ath-letic Center, was asked to advise as many students as possible, that they should avoid north Price if they needed to leave campus, not to loiter outdoors and to stay out of the way of the police.

Marshal started in the Western Instructional Building, closest to the shooting, and the Jennifer

Leavitt Student Center. The BDAC was also effectively closed.

“Nobody was locked down.” Prettyman said, “People perceived it as being a lock down. It really didn’t meet the definition because we didn’t send out a Code Blue warning.”

After conferring with Steve Mecham, USU director of public safety, Prettyman contacted Brad King, vice chancellor for adminis-tration and advancement, and Alex Herzog, associate vice chancellor for student services, in an attempt to execute a Code Blue emergency warning. Although, at the time,

only 136 students and faculty at USU Eastern were signed up for Code Blue, it would have made taken the school a step closer to a lock down.

Judy Crockett, USU emergen-cy management coordinator might have sent out the code blue, had she not first contacted Prettyman who told her, between 60 and 90 minutes after the shots were fired, Schade was located in Wellington with his wife. A Price officer was then dispatched to arrest him.

Schade has been charged with use of a firearm within city limits, a class B misdemeanor, and released.

so it was good.Thirteen of the sponsorships

were donated by cosmetology students who also ran. Associate professors, “Debbie Pritchard and Linda Davis are so supportive every year of this cause,” he said. At least 17 students helped with the donation tickets and sold 47 ticket books which raised $470 along with certificates for haircuts and manicures which will raise another $500 towards helping individuals stay independent.

“Active ReEntry’s Nancy Bent-ley said it best as she and I were talking that morning about our

soon-to-be-arriving USU Eastern runners, and at that moment (as if on cue),” Johnson continued, “Paur drove up in the USU Eastern bus, whereupon Bentley exclaimed ‘A bus! You brought a bus load? I’ve got to go grab my camera and get a picture of this’ as she scurried off to find it.” Committee Chair Dorothy Carter, said, “Unfortunately, this past year, the state has given a limit amount towards our assistant- technology program. This has left a huge waiting list of individuals who wish to remain living indepen-dent in their homes. To help them

achieve this wish, we sponsor the Run, Walk and Roll 5K to raise funds to do repairs on motorized equipment, such as power wheel chairs and scooters, as well as purchasing tires, batteries, walkers, grab bar and etc...”

All proceeds go to the program ran by Active Re-Entry. No admin-istration cost is taken out with 100 percent of sponsorship going to this program. Carter appreciated the cosmetology department for their assistance in the run. “A great big shout of thanks goes out to the cosmetology department and their advisers.”

This year, students at the USU Eastern Price campus have an increased opportunity to find employment on campus. Dean of Student Life, Dr. Alex Herzog requested that the institution fund additional work-study dol-lars by $50,000. This effectively doubles the money available to hire students on campus.

In past years, it has been noted that many students are not only struggling to find employ-ment, but being forced to choose between working at a distant location, or attending classes. Work-study programs were cre-ated to remedy that problem by providing students with a work environment that is conducive to academic success.

Although the U.S. Govern-ment-operated FAFSA finances work-study opportunities for students who qualify (about 30-40 each year), there are many more who could benefit from an on-campus job. Herzog wants to provide students with

every possible way to succeed. So he, along with the financial aid office, have implemented a campus-wide program, inde-pendent from FAFSA, which provides 30-40 more jobs for USU Eastern students.

Departments such as, food services, distance education, maintenance, auxiliary, records and registration, the BDAC, dis-ability resource center, English and math labs, teacher’s assis-tants, athletics and theatre tech are hiring student employees. The departments pay 25 percent of the wages and the work-study fund pays the remaining 75 percent.

There are exceptions for de-partments with great need and little to no funding; they are able to go through a process to apply for work-study employees paid for fully by the institutional fund.

Work-study not only pro-vides students with convenient employment, it also gives de-partments an opportunity to hire workers for 25 percent of the expense of a non-student employee. This means depart-ments can afford to have more

staff, which will improve the quality and efficiency of the departments and the college campus as a whole.

There will soon be a page on USU Eastern’s website direct-ing students on how to apply for work-study positions. Until then, Kim Booth and Tammie Pantelakis in the financial aid office can help students with any questions they might have.

Ultimately, Herzog recog-nizes that when there is no pres-sure between work and school, students can feel at ease on cam-pus and improve their academic performance. The institutional work-study fund has only been approved for this academic year.

Herzog hopes that this pro-gram will have a positive effect on students, and the departments that hire them. If the relation-ship proves to be symbiotic, it is possible that USU Eastern will continue to offer additional work-study opportunities to students. When a student works on campus, they stay on campus, they become a part of campus, and that is what the college ex-perience is all about. Seth Richards

During the summer, USU Eastern facilities and maintenance facilitators replaced tempo-rary employees with a private contractor to care for the campus greenery.

KM Spraying replaced temporary em-ployees hired from SOS staffing to mow the larger lawns, fertilize and spray the campus grounds. Facilities maintenance staff members still mow the smaller portions of grass and care for smaller hamlets of greenery.

The replacement of SOS for KM is saving the college about $150 per week. Brad King, vice chan-cellor for administration and advancement, has high hopes for continued good work in the spring.

1-Nicotine: Apparently some “scientists” learned that smoking doesn’t have a lot of benefits, that is if you’re one of those people who is opposed to cancer and of-fending people around you. But it seems that, despite being able to ruin everything inside and around you, nicotine has some beneficial affect on the brain.

The University of Amsterdam discovered that the nicotine found in cigarettes enhances both learn-

ing and memory. To prove this, they tested elderly people with Alzheimer’s (since learning and memory loss are key areas of the disease) by giving them nicotine patches. The results were stun-ning in that they showed that after regular doses, the patients were two times faster and significantly more consistent at answering memory-based questions than the control group. This is all pos-sible because nicotine is able to improve communication among the learning centers of the brain. Even if you can remember how

the beginning of this article began (proving that you don’t have Al-zheimer’s), nicotine has the same effect on you as on the elderly.

This time, instead of pumping a teenager’s blood with the stuff they went for a more standard approach by first filling mice with the stuff and then testing them on their special learning and memory later in their adult life. They were able to find that those who had received small, steady levels of nicotine learned faster and had performed significantly better, even months later.

would make when he would ask me ‘What up Coach Smurf?’ I know he impacted several stu-dents and athletes outside of the basketball program.”

Vice Chancellor of Admin-istration and Advancement, Brad King added, “It is hard to believe that it has been a year since Brad’s passing. It will be a difficult week for many people both on campus and for those that felt Brad’s influence in their lives in other settings. It is amaz-ing to look at the far reaching effect that he had on people’s lives and not just the young men with whom he associated. “His laugh and his ‘Live the Dream Att itude’ were absolut ely i n fec t ious. I w i l l a l w a y s r e m e m b e r his do the small thing well

speech. He a lways sa id if you do the small things right ev-ery time, the things that even your mother can do, you will be in every game. Brad was a winner in every sense of the word. We will continue to miss him.”

All American USU Eastern basketball player and team cap-tain last season, Chase Flint, said, “Since Brad’s death my life has changed a lot, I wasn’t sure who to turn to. But I say something or do something everyday that reminds me of him and it makes me happy of the influence he had in my life that I can have in other people’s life. I use his quotes all the time just about optimism and positive attitudes. When I talk to friends about him, always something like Barton would have loved that or that reminds me of what Barton

used to do. Even though he’s gone, he still has an impact in my life and many other people’s lives. So he’s gone but not forgotten.”

Even though it’s hard to imag-ine Barton being in a better place, he always told everyone he was living the dream. And now that he is living the dream in a better place, we are reminded of the lyrics of Billy Joel’s song: “Only the Good Die Young.” “They say there’s a heaven for those who will wait, some say it’s better, but I say it ain’t. I’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints, sinners are much more fun…and only the good die young.” RIP, we still miss you Coach Barton.

A memorial vigil honoring Barton will be Thursday, Oct. 4 at 8 p.m. in the pit. Everyone is invited.

USU Eastern’s Automotive De-partment is host-ing the second annual Odyssey: National Alter-native Fuels Day on Friday, Oct. 12 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Macdonald Career

Center parking lot. Its theme is a Decade of Difference: Driving Change Across America.

Odyssey is a biennial outreach event dedicated to promoting the use of alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles, says Stan Martineau, automotive assistant professor.

In addition to alternative fuel

vehicles, demonstrations on fuel cell, solar and wind energy, waveform patterns, diagnostics, and five-gas analysis (showing the difference in vehicle emission particulates between older and new vehicles) will be presented.

Information will be available on low resistance “green” tires and energy efficient oil.

West Virginia University pro-vides the National Alternative Fuels Training Consortium that provides the nucleus of the pro-gram. Martineau is a contributing writer for the consortium.

Martineau said the governor’s office is sending a representative to the event as well as other local, regional and state representatives. Displays include a Chevrolet with

an electric Volt, Toyota with a hybrid Prius, Ford with vehicle information including their new electric Focus, Utah Clean Cities Coalition, EPA (what they do and why), Questar with CNG (com-pressed natural gas) vehicles and information, Les Schwab (green tires and energy savings tips) and CarQuest with energy saving tips.

Demonstrations on fuel cells and biodiesel will be provided by USU Eastern students throughout the day.

Martineau said the day should be a great fit for the science, technology and engineering students (STEM) plus career exploration opportuni-ties. Junior high and high school students from Southeast Utah will attend the demonstrations.

Theatre season has begun at USU Eastern with the comedy- thriller “I’ll Be Back Before Mid-night” on October 4-13. “I have so many favorite parts,” stated Direc-tor Corey Ewan. “It’s a ghost story and a thriller. I hope the audience keeps guessing who’s doing what.”

Murder isn’t far down the road as the play begins in an old country house haunted by a vengeful ghost. Local rumors provide tension about mysterious murders nearby the area. Can you guess which character will be the first to disappear?

“I think we’re in good shape,” Ewan said. “I look at what the actors are giving and they’re doing quite well. [They’re] getting better and better, moving from where they were to where they are now.”

The stage manager is Kris Bushman who has set up a perfect stage for mur-der. Scenery and lights are headed by Grady McEvoy, and costume design is by Co-rey Ewan. Assistant costume

designer is Annie Morey, and makeup is perfected by Victoria Morgas.

Freshman Miranda Cox portrays Jan Sanderson, a young wife who is recovering from a nervous disorder. She has recently been released from the hospital after a men-tal breakdown. Will she be able to keep it together when strange voices begin to call to her in the night?

Sophmore Timothy Sw-ensen is Jan’s husband Greg

Sanderson who recently graduated in archeology. He rents the cabin so Jan can recover, but also to try and save their failing marriage. Will he be able to handle Jan’s failing sanity, or will his sister succeed in pulling them apart? “It is a show filled with scares, myster-ies and surprises,” Swensen declared.

Freshman Cameron West acts as the old farmer,

George Willoby, who has seen the bottom of one too many whiskey bottles

Is he the classic country bump-kin he seems to be, or is there a dark truth in the ghost stories he tells? West said, “It will be a heart pounding, nail biting, pant crapping scary play…It’s a three thumbs up!”

Freshman Brynne Hunt is Laura Sanderson, the husband’s interfer-ing sister. Manipulative and lustful, she is very close to her brother, driving another wedge between

the deteriorating mar-riage. What is the real reason she accepted the invitation to come to the cabin?

When asked about the play, Hunt said, “It’s a thriller comedy drama amazingness.” Cox commented, “It will keep you guessing. You won’t be ready for how events unfold!”

Tickets are $10 for adults, $7 for senior citizens, $5 for non-USU students and faculty, and $2 for USU students with current ID cards. Pay for the whole seat, but you’ll only need the edge!

Color changes, cool winds and screams are just a few things fall brings every year. With Halloween right around the corner, you can guarantee that the Spring Glen School of Screams spirits are read to scare you.

With new and improved rooms, the old school house is set with new scares and additions you won’t want to miss. Coordinators Jon and Jenny Black are keeping the original characters like the white lady and gypsies, but adding a new twist of characters including cannibals, babies and freaks.

The volunteers from last year and a few new people have put in weeks of hard work to make sure this spook alley is as good as it can be. Rebecca Pat-terson, cosmetology student says, “I love this time of year because I get to come and volunteer doing

something that I actually enjoy!” The cosmetology girls will do hair and make up again this year and some are even volunteering to hide in the house.

The school houses’ opening night is Oct. 5-6 and be open every Friday and Saturday night plus Halloween night from 8 to 11 p.m. in October. Like last year, the cost is $10 per person for all ages. The address is 1950 West 4100 North in Spring Glen and for additional information or questions, call (435) 472-HOWL.

The Blacks have gone to great lengths to make this spooky school as fun as can be, while being mindful of safety precautions and even being careful of age appropriate scaring for those little ones you might think of bringing. They are asking to everyone to support the school and the community in an attempt to make improvements to the old building and have some laughs and, of course, scares.

Over 1,200 hours of service projects have been accomplished already this fall by the USU East-ern SUN Center. They began their service before the academic school year with some activities at the end of summer. At the beginning of August, various volunteers ac-complished 124 hours of service at the Emery County Lamb Fry. The money raised from this ser-vice opportunity went towards the renovation of the Old Huntington Flour Mill. The SUN Center continued throughout August, volunteering at the Carbon County Fair Aug. 9-11. At USU Eastern’s combined leadership training, also known as Catalyst Training, Aug. 19-23, approximately 80 students and staff members were able to accomplish over 150 hours of service throughout the week clearing meeting areas, rebuild-ing an amphitheater and groom-

ing trails. This was followed by several hours of service given by the leaders during Move-In Day at the USU Eastern residential halls Aug. 25-26. Things did not slow down after that.

Since college began, mul-tiple service opportunities have presented themselves. Student leaders were excited and ready to help with the Day of Caring and The Mammoth Marathon, both of which fell on Sept. 8. They also helped out at the state rodeo that weekend. Between those three service opportunities, there were over 100 students, faculty, staff and administration from USU Eastern that gave over 540 hours of meaningful service that day. The residential advisors were able to organize a basic campus clean up Sept. 12. This was quickly fol-lowed by the Kiwanis Kid’s Day on Sept. 15. On September 22, Active Re-entry held their annual Run, Walk and Roll. Many of the student volunteers were from USU Eastern’s Athletic department as

well as the student body, faculty, staff and administration. They, as a collaborative group, were able to give close to 170 hours of service at the Kiwanis Kid’s Day, while help-ing out the local Price community. There was an additional 226 hours of service rendered at Active Re-entry’s Run Walk and Roll.

Some of the upcoming SUN Center events include: Green Team, every Friday from 10-11 a.m.; Kids @ Heart, every Tuesday and Thursday, 11:30 a.m-12:45 p.m.; domestic violence 5K, Oct. 5, 9 a.m.-noon; cleaning the walkway, Oct.11; Shoopapaloosa Face Painting, Friday, Oct. 12-13, noon-9 p.m. both days.

For more information on upcoming events and to sign-up, visit the SUN Center on the second floor of the Jennifer Levitt Student Center or call 435-613-5284. Terry Johnson, SUN Center advisor said, “We most likely have a project that interests you, so we look forward to receiving a call and seeing you in the SUN Center soon!”

There are many things a freshman must figure out when coming to college. When are classes, where’s class, what’s happening, where do I go for music and news about what’s happening on campus? While many of these questions are probably already answered, how many of you have found the college radio station? The station functions as your source for entertainment and information regarding what’s happening at USU Eastern.

Founded in 2002, 89.7 The Edge has been playing the latest college/alternative hits, information about what is happening on campus, and bringing live concerts to campus for a decade. The station is staffed by Eastern students and runs 24-hours a day.

Broadcasting at 89.7 mHz on the FM band, The Edge is often missed by radio listeners who are trained to look for radio stations outside of the “public radio zone”.

Sandwiched between two NPR affiliate stations listeners will find very different pro-gramming than one normally

expects on the left side of the dial. Specializing in alternative format music, and local bands, the station’s programming tries to stay as current as any com-mercial station playing the same format of music. If you are joining the Eastern population from the Wasatch Front, you will find the station’s music comparable to that found on X96 or 101.9 The End.

The staff at The Edge will

be happy to promote any and all campus events. If you wish to have help promoting an event, you can contact the station at (435) 613-5669, theedge@ usu.edu or find the station on Facebook.

Students interested in joining the staff of 89.7 The Edge can do so by signing up for JCOM 1560, Broadcast Production (Radio). The course is taught both fall and spring semesters.

It may be difficult to pick up a book that was written more than 80 years ago. But that is what I did when I picked up A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway. Most people relate a “classic” with required reading in high school. It can be hard to break out of the stigma that required reading equals boring.

Ernest Hemingway won the Nobel Prize in Literature, which is one of the most pres-tigious honors an author can be awarded, in 1954 for his contribution to literature. He was awarded a Silver Medal of Bravery during World War I while an ambulance driver for the Italian Army. He was also involved in World War II. He lived a troubled life. He was married four times and committed suicide in 1961.

A Farewell to Arms is a fiction piece loosely based on Hemingway’s life. An American Lieutenant Fred-eric Henry who is an ambu-lance driver for the Italians tells the story. The first part of the book is relatively slow. The lieu-tenant’s life on the front is pretty laid back; plenty of drinking and trying to meet women. He soon meets Catherine Barkley, a Brit-ish nurse at the hospital where he is stationed. And so begins their romance.

Lt Henry is wounded after the Austrian’s attack the Italian front. He is sent to a hospital in Milan to recover. Luckily enough Catherine is sent there too. They spend the summer together and fall in love.

When Lieutenant Henry has finally healed and is preparing to go back to the front Catherine tells him that she is three months pregnant.

After only a few days back on the front, the Austrians break through the Italian front and the Italians call a full retreat. While in retreat, the Lieutenant and his party pick up two officers. On their way to their regrouping the two officers decide to revolt and leave the Italian Army. The Lieutenant has no choice but to shoot and he kills one of them.

A few days later, he is taken for interrogation by the Italian version of the military police. He sees that every officer is questioned then ex-ecuted. The interrogators believe that it is because of the officers that the Italians have been defeated. He breaks free from his captors and rides a river and then a train to reunite with Catherine. They make plans to flee to Switzerland and escape from the Italians and war altogether.

Lieutenant Henry and Cath-erine make it to Switzerland and

find an older couple to live with. Things are quite wonderful. They spend all their time together and wait for the baby to come. Once the baby decides to come, everything changes and their lives are turned upside down.

A Farewell to Arms cements Ernest Hemingway’s claim as a great American author. His writ-ing is straightforward and often grim. He never beats around the bush. Especially when it comes to parts about fighting and killing. His tone softens when it comes

to parts with Catherine and Lieutenant Henry’s romance.

A Farewell to Arms raises many questions to the reader. For one, Lieutenant Henry is an American fighting in WWI before the United States de-clared war. How many people are willing to do what it takes to receive any type of medal from the military? Would you be willing to return to a war front after you had been injured? Would you act as Lieutenant Henry did when faced with insubordination? And then a few days later, he runs just as the man he shot did. How do we act when trouble and

tragedy strikes? During the first few chapters, I

had to push myself to keep going. As soon as I reached the part where he was wounded, I wanted to keep going. It seems that most books written today have much more go-ing on during their beginnings; so understandably I have fast paced everything ingrained into me.

It is a book filled with more than just war and romance. The reader will have plenty of points of morality to ponder if they just look and ask.

The last guitar tips article was about re-stringing a guitar, Logically, the next phase should be tuning a guitar. There are hundreds of tunings for the guitar, but I’ll start with the standard tuning.

The majority of songs, or open chords, are in this tuning. There are a few ways to achieve standard tuning, and the easiest is to purchase a tuner. It doesn’t matter what type or brand because they all work the same. When you play any open string in close proximity to the tuner, the screen should display the note of that string. Depending on what note you need for each string and whether the pitch needs to go up or down, you can tighten the string to move the pitch up or loosen it to move the pitch down. You just need to make the appropri-ate adjustments until the desired note is displayed.

For standard tuning, a specific order of notes (all six-open strings) need to be tuned to, starting with the lowest or thick-est string, also numbered sixth, then move your way down numerically. Each numbered string has a correlating letter which gives you the assigned note. It should look like this: 6-E, 5-A, 4-D, 3-G, 2-B, 1-E. As long as your tuner matches these notes with each correlating string, the guitar is tuned to the standard tuning.

You don’t need a tuner to tune the guitar. If you have access to a piano and are familiar with the keys, you can achieve the same tuning by matching the pianos keys with the guitar strings. Find the second lowest E on the piano and match the pitch you hear with your lowest string, which is the sixth string. Work your way up the piano to the closest A and tune the next string down (fifth string) to the same pitch you

hear on the piano. And so on for each subsequent string down, fourth string will be tuned to the closest D, 3-G, 2-B and 1-E. From low E to high E, all the strings should span two-full octaves.

If you don’t know anything about the piano, you are probably confused. One of the cool things about the guitar, is you don’t have to worry about note names, you can tune the guitar to itself. Rather, you can tune all the strings to whatever note the lowest or sixth string is.

You need to know what a fret is and how they are numbered on the guitar. It might be confusing, but the fretboard is based on playing an open string. If you aren’t pressing down on the frets, you’re only plucking the string. Since zero frets are played, it’s known as number 0, or open string, 0=O(pen).

Once you make that connection, it will make sense that frets are numbered numerically. Pressing down on the first slot of the fretboard, is fret one, second slot is fret two and so on up

the neck. There are also fret markers(which are usually little dots on the neck) located at frets three, five, seven, nine and 12, which help with changing positions quickly without having to count each indi-vidual fret.

If you go to the sixth string, and play the fifth

fret (second-fret marker,) you can tune the next open string down by matching its pitch with the same pitch of the fretted string above it: 6th string-5th fret=5th str.-0 frets(or open string). When they both sound like the same note, you can use this same formula to tune the next string down. Basically, all you’re doing is tuning the strings in order. The only exception is when you tune the second string with the third string, you have to use the fourth fret on the third string*. Refer to the diagram.

Using the sixth string as a reference point will tune the other five strings, but remember the strings won’t be perfectly pitched to the

USU Eastern goes Hawaiian with the Spirit of Aloha Shadayah Jones

staff writer [email protected]

Five people on campus and in the community will be given an award for their hard work and dedication to mak-ing this campus better. This is called the Spirit of Aloha award.

“Aloha” means hello and good-bye in the Hawaiian culture, but there is a deeper meaning to the greet-ing. “Akahai,” meaning kindness, to be expressed with tenderness; “Lokahi,” meaning unity, to be expressed with harmony;” Oluolu,” meaning agreeable, to be expressed with pleasantness;

“Haahaa,” meaning humil-ity, to be expressed with modesty; “Ahonui,” meaning patience, to be expressed with perseverance.

“Aloha” is more than a word of greeting or farewell or a salutation. “Aloha” means mutual regard and af-fection and extends warmth in caring with no obligation in return. “Aloha”

is the essence of relationships in which each person is important to every other person for collective existence. “Aloha” means to hear what is not said, to see what cannot be seen and to know the unknowable. This year at USU Eastern, the students, staff, and faculty will be celebrating the Spirit of Aloha.

When you live the Spirit of Aloha, you create positive feelings and thoughts, which are never gone. They exist in space, multiply and spread over to others. Blaney Hanvey, coordinator-residential life, wants to bring this unconditional love and care for others with the Spirit of Aloha to campus.

She came up with this idea while preparing for Catalyst, the student lead-

ership training. She said during Catalyst, they were given the topic of “community building.” Hanvey did more research and realized that this was perfect for the topic of community building. She decided to give out a Spirit of Aloha award.

Five Spirit of Aloha awards will be given: one for an outstanding student leader, student, faculty member, staff

member and a community member that has helped campus and made a difference. At the Spirit of Aloha ceremony, plaques will be presented in honor of the award winners to recognize their outstanding efforts and the time and effort they put into making this campus better.

Students and faculty and staff members will be able to vote once a semester and

nominate one from each category. The residential life staff will review the nominations and decide the winner. The nominations will be online under the residential life link. Deadlines will be announced when the link is set up.

Hanvey says, “I want people to see that they are being recognized for their great work and to see that they are making a difference on campus. I want the Spirit of Aloha Award to be something that will be continued throughout the years. I view the Spirit of Aloha as having an unconditional desire to promote the true good of other people in a friendly spirit and with genuine caring.” photos by Whitney Withers/ The Eagle

Emery County native KaeLynn Winn always knew she would return to her love of painting. Her talent for making art started at an early age and continued well into adulthood.

“My first experience creating a painting is a trea-sured memory,” Winn says. “Up until kindergarten, my experience with art was limited to coloring with crayons, which I adored. One fateful day I was given vivid red and blue finger paint and set free! The juicy red and dreamy blue paint mixed before my eyes and a deep, rich purple appeared to delight my senses,” she recalls. From that point on, Winn was hooked.

Her love of art and creativity motivated her to seek more knowledge and many ways to draw and paint. She studied art books and ‘how to’ draw

and paint handbooks. She checked out everything from the local library that served her artistic thirst and even took weekly lessons from a woman who flamed her interest in oil painting.

Winn, who is known locally and among craft-ers for her original clip art designs, has developed her artistic skills since those early encounters with art making. She went on to pursue art in college, completing an associate of art’s degree from Col-lege of Eastern Utah, followed by a number of art history courses and studio art classes at Utah State University in Logan. “In the fall of 1991 I decided I needed a break from school and moved back home to work for a while and spend more time with my sweetheart,” Winn remembers. She married her sweetheart in 1991 and now, with her husband,

raises her four children in Ferron.In 2000, Winn began creating clip-art illustrations

for an online company. For the past 10 years, she has produced approximately 700 full-color illustra-tions for the website. “ I was also chosen by the company to be a featured artist for one of the Provo Craft Hugware clip art CDs,” Winn says. “The en-tire body of clip-art was rendered in colored pencil with the exception of the last two sets which came out in 2009 and were painted in acrylics. Working on those last clip art sets helped me rediscover my love for painting.”

Now, after a long break from painting, she is ready to produce and show her work again.

“Winn has painted some wonderful pieces that reflect her love of this area,” says gallery director,

Noel Carmack. “I think visitors to the exhibit will not only be impressed with her skill, but also her obvious affection for the scenes and subjects found in her rural surroundings.”

Winn’s exhibit, “Legacies of Home: Paintings by KaeLynn Winn,” will be on display from October 8 – November 8 at Gallery East on USU Eastern’s Price campus. An opening reception and artist talk will be held Friday, October 12, from 7-9 p.m. in Gallery East. The gallery is free and open to the public during the academic year.

Gallery East’s fall 2012 hours are Monday through Thursday 11 a.m. – 5 p.m., closed Fridays, weekends and holidays. If you have any questions, contact Carmack at 435-613-5241 or by email at [email protected].

Students come to USU Eastern from far and wide for the college experience. They live in the residential hall attend activities and eat in the dining room. Often times, there is so much going on that the people behind the scenes are either never noticed or quickly forgotten. This is the case with head chef Tony Archibald.

If you were to meet Archibald in passing, you may have assumed he was quiet; just a cook doing his job. This however, is an immense understate-ment. If you ever find a moment when he could sit and have a conversation with you, you would discover that he had been working in the restaurant

industry since he was 13. He began as a dish-washer and de-cided he liked the fast pace and f r iend-s h i p s t h a t came a long with the job. He has worked throughout the county includ-ing Cowboy K i t ch e n i n Wel l i ng ton, Little Caesars, and the Carbon Country Club. At one time he worked with Officer James P r e t t y m a n Yes, it’s true,

Officer Prettyman can cook.Thirty-four years later, Archibald is

doing what he loves. He met Tony when he began doing the menus at Becky’s local coffee shop called Becky’s Brew. They were married in 2006. Now their home and family outings are filled with their eight children and eight grandchildren, with one more arriving in May. “When we get together, I enjoy hanging out and having everyone near,” Archibald states. He humbly admits, “My family is what I am most proud of in this world.”

Something most people don’t know about him is that he is the second of eight children. When he was young, his rebellious nature kicked in and he ran away from home. When asked what one piece of advice he remembered

most while growing up, he responded, “If you think it’s too good to be true, it probably is.”

Archibald discovered young that he disliked “educated idiots” or the people who thought they knew more than they really did. As an employer, it is a pet peeve when his employees do not take heed to his word. “There was one time we had an employee who would set her drink on the kitchen work table. After several times of telling her not to leave it there, he filled her straw with mustard. We all got a kick out of that one!” said an employee.

While at work, Archibald can be found working tirelessly to prepare the next meal while listening to local radio stations. “He believes and sup-ports the shop local campaign in order to sustain our economy here,” says his wife Becky.

His favorite artists to listen to when the grills are turned off for the day are Matt Redman and Chris Tomlin. He also enjoys hurrying home to catch the latest episodes of Pawn Stars, Storage Wars and Ice Road Truckers. Although he may never outwardly admit it, he loves the Discovery and History channels as well. Football is not really his Sunday sport, but if the Jazz are playing, you can bet he will be there to catch the game. Guitars, drums and fishing also fill what little free time Archibald has left in his day.

Archibald is excited for this upcom-ing year. Meeting all the new students and getting to work closely with them is his favorite thing about working at USU Eastern. With a good luck to all this year, Tony closes with one piece of advice, “Don’t give up on your education.”

When we read or hear about college football, it’s usually about either the teams, the coaches, the match ups, or who’s going to go to a BCS bowl game, we don’t hear a lot about the fans, there are those rare occasions where you do. For example, the recent event that hap-pened at the Utah vs. BYU game in Salt Lake City. The fans rushed the field and drew a penalty on Utah, which gave BYU another chance to win the game, one of three to be exact.

Anyway, the point being, fans can influence a game one way or another. They can influence the team for good or for bad, while also affecting the other team and their performance as well. You know you have an amazing fan section when everyone is yelling and screaming, and the stands shake with a thunder of a crowd just as determined as the players. You know you are in for a good time. Being a player for the opposing team can be a quite intimidating with fans like these. You may not realize it, but as a fan you reflect your school and the spirit that burns within. Having a powerful and huge fan section can definitely affect the outcome of a game.

Now there are many different kinds of fans. You have the ones that chant the cheer for a team, but really never wear the colors or watch the games, the ones that sit in their seats and give an occasional whistle or hoot here and there, and then there are fans who bleed their school colors, and go to every home game with painted faces.

Utah has some pretty hard-core fans for college sports. I’m going to take three of the colleges and rank them starting from the largest fan base to the smallest. I would have to say that the Utes at the University of Utah take first place, then the Aggies at Utah State University in Logan, and then the Cougars at Brigham Young University. Each of these colleges can surely hold their own in their stadiums with their loyal supportive fans.

Now, we will go over a little bit about each school’s fan base, and what sets them aside from other colleges. At Utah, their student section known as the MUSS (Mighty Utah Student Section) really amplifies the cheering in the stadium. The fans love to kick things off early in Salt Lake with the Ute tailgate party, and the Ute walk before the game. In Logan, their stadium holds 25,513 and they always deliver a huge amount of fans, they all seem to always chant in unison and throw signs in the opposing team’s face which creates quite a powerful atmosphere for their team to win. And when I say they deliver a huge amount of fans, their stadium is always packed. Down south at BYU, their stadium holds 63,470 and the fans are sure full of energy and they always have a full-student section supporting their team. All through Provo you will see BYU flags on the cars as they drive by, showing their pride and support. These colleges have a big fan base, but when compared to other teams throughout the country they seem a little small.

Let’s start with the Florida Ga-tors. They have a huge fan base, which you can easily see when they pack their stadium known as “The Swamp” with 88,000 strong. Let’s also not forget about Michigan State with their stadium known as “The Big House”. This stadium gets loud when there are games played here. These teams really deliver when there is home games, but when football is such a prominent thing and the stadium holds 80,000 plus, it really isn’t hard to do, unless the team isn’t that good, but most of the time, that isn’t the case.

5,000 miles, an ocean away from home

Almost 5,000 miles to attend college away from home seems like a great distance, but for three baseball players from Samoa, it proved to be a wise move. Ieti Savelio plays the outfield for the Golden Eagle baseball team and likes to spend his free time cutting hair or anything that involves using his hands. Isaia Helg plays third base for USU Eastern. He has a great sense of humor and can always make the team laugh. Fred Thomas, the youngest of the three, grew up in Fiji, an island near Samoa.

Coming to the United States to play baseball, Savelio said, “So far I have really enjoyed all of the beautiful girls and all of the things to do here. I like being able to stay busy with the activities that the school has put on. I also enjoy the clothing style here, there are so many choices compared to back in

Samoa. All of the people here are also very nice and I enjoy talking to everyone from all these different backgrounds.”

Savelio said, “the first place we stayed was in St. George and it was way too hot. I had a lot of trouble breathing because of the elevation change and suffered many nosebleeds.”

Helg spoke about what brought himself and his team-mates to America. “I started playing on the Samoan national baseball team and we played in St. George during the summer. I really liked baseball here because the games are more competitive and we play much more. A regular season in Samoa is only eight games and then you’re done, so I also enjoy that. The

schooling here is also a big part of why I stayed. It is hard to get this good of an education back home so this is a really great opportunity for me,”

Savelio says, “I really miss all of the beaches in Samoa. At home, I’m only 45 minutes from the beach anywhere I go so that is a weird thing not to have close. The weather in Samoa is also different; it is always perfectly sunny and not so dry. I do miss my family; it’s tough not to be able to see them all the time. I wish they were still only five minutes away. It’s a lot easier to get around Samoa too, in a car you’re only an hour from the other side of the island so travel is extremely easy.”

“My sarcasm has been the biggest change in other people, everyone in Samoa is really sarcastic and I didn’t know if it

would be the same way here. The first few weeks I was pretty scared to joke with anyone. I didn’t know if they would take it serious and be mad or just joke around like back home. Once a few people started joking around I figured out that I can be sarcastic and no one would be angry. It helps me feel welcome when I can joke around with everyone and be myself,” Helg said.

Helg, Thomas and Savelio are excited about what USU Eastern has to offer them and the rest of their time here in the states. You will be able to see them at any baseball game in the upcoming season.

standard tuning unless the sixth string is tuned to an E. This method is great if you’re just jamming alone, but tuning the guitar is all relative to what you are playing. For instance, if you are rehearsing with a group or jamming to an album, you should be pitched to the correct notes(6-E, 5-A, 4-G etc.) and tuned to the other players or what you’re listening to. The other advantage is it will train your ears on a dif-ferent level. Being able to hear and match pitches and frequencies will help your overall musical ability.

With a 10-8 record, the Lady Eagles are having a strong sea-son so far. The women and Coach Chelsey Warbur ton are pretty pleased and excited with how their season is going. After the Lady Eagles loss against a highly talented Utah All-Stars team on Sept 21, the women bounced back with two

big wins. Three sets to zero in both of those wins. The team held a 6-0 set ratio in the past week against the Salt Lake All-Stars and the Colorado Northwestern Community College women. The Salt Lake All-Stars is a team made up of fellow Eastern Utah players. On Sept. 21, the All-Stars showed up ready to face off against the 2012 Lady Eagles. The battle began with the Lady Eagles winning set one 26-24. They battled back and forth the entire match. The Lady Eagles played tougher than ever showing great moments in all aspects of the game, winning all three sets. Set two and three were both close, but the women came out of set two 25-20 and set three 27-25. Day two of the weekend for the Eagles was traveling to Rangley, Colo. After a long bus ride, the women thought they would be

tired and not ready right off the bus. Nerves were coming as this game was the first conference game of the year for the women. They came out and showed their hard work off.

The Lady Eagles tore Rangley apart winning the first three sets out of five. The women won set one 25-9, set two 25-14 and set three 25-10.

Coach Warburton was feeling “really happy and pleased with her teams play in these past two games.” The women felt confident coming out of the weekend and said they love the feeling they have had these past couple of games, and plan to keep this streak going.

On Friday, Sept. 28, the Eagles traveled to Snow College to play the lady Badgers. The women felt really strong and healthy after their last two games. Getting off of the bus, the women had

brought the intensity and mindset of the previous week’s outcomes. The Eagles played their style of game and had a good fight, but ended up losing in five sets: won 27-25, lost 25-15, won 25-23, and lost 25-20 and 15-9. Each set went back and forth all day. On Saturday, Sept. 29, the Eagles traveled to Salt Lake Community College and hoped for a better outcome to their goals. SLCC, however, had a different game plan and came out victorious.

The Bruins came out strong and took the Lady Eagles down in set one. The Eagles stepped up their game, but could not match up to their competitions. The match went quick as the Eagles lost three sets to zero. The Bru-ins won 25-15, 25-8 and 25-14. Coach Warburton feels like, “her women came out flat on Saturday against SLCC; adding we did not

have much battle or intensity, and our passing was not exactly on like it was against the Badgers.” Warburton said she is, “really pleased with how well Whitney Fieldsted has been playing day in and day out; she is a leader on and off the court and the women look up to her a lot.” Fieldsted had herself a hay day against CNCC, having 12 kills. CNCC had no answer for how to slow down Fieldsted’s game. Listening to some of the women on the team, they feel like they cherished their achievements from the past wins too long, and did not have the right mindset or intensity for the games to come.

Sydney Cornforth, a freshman, says, “I know the girls have a lot more in them and that they are all going to step it up and make this a memorable year for the volleyball teams to come in the future.”

Nowadays though, you don’t even have to go to the game to be an avid fan. With today’s technology, you can watch the game crystal clear on the 72-inch plasma screen TV, and to top it off, you can now watch the games on the go

with your smart phone. With the ESPN College Football app, you can track any college football team and even see video highlights of the play with just the touch of the screen. To take it to the next level, there is also an app by ESPN called Watch ESPN, where you can watch live-streaming videos of multiple ESPN channels. No matter where you are or what you’re doing, you will always be able to check

on the score of your favorite team, and even watch the game. Whatever kind of fan you may be, always remember that if you cheer loud enough, or even rush the field, you could change the outcome of the game. Just make sure that the game is over before you go rushing. I have to remember that piece of advice when I rush the field again, at the end of the BYU vs. Utah football game!

Here to build a winning team

Hayden Petersonsports writer

[email protected]

Every school year begins with new faces, some who are here to further their educa-tion, and some who are here to help students along the way. This week we are going to take a look into the life of one of those new faces on campus and learn a little more about what he is doing here. The Eagle’s spotlight shines on men’s assistant basketball coach Carter Roe. He was brought in by head Coach Adjalma Vanderlei Becheli Jr, (Vando) this year to build a winning team.

The basketball players enjoy having Roe around because he cares for them not only as his athletes but also as people. “He is always reminding us of upcoming assignments in our classes as well as encouraging us to be better students,” said Travon Langston. Roe grew up in Arizona; he was born in Phoenix on New Year’s day in 1982. His mom, Beth, and his father, Jim, both worked while he was growing up so that they could provide for his family.

He said of his mother, “She is the GREAT-EST woman I have known, the definition of grace.” Roe has three siblings as well, his older sister Jordan, his younger sister Chan-dler, and a younger brother named Taylor, all of whom are successful. Probably being a little humble Roe mentioned, “To say I am the dummy of the family would be an under-statement.” When he turned 11, his family followed his father’s work to Yuma, Ari.

Basketball was always the center of Roe’s life. The guys that he played with are still his closest friends and he cherishes many memories with them. After graduating high school Roe went on to study at Arizona Western College, it was there that he began his college education and ended his basket-ball dreams. “Basketball ended because I quit on myself, which is something I regret every single day of my life. Part of coaching for me is trying to make sure the kids I have a chance to influence never do what I did.”

Roe has held many coaching jobs since graduating from NAU. He started at McCook Community College, where he also taught a few courses. Then he was offered what he called a dream job: a coaching position at Arizona Western, in his hometown of Yuma.

Thanks to Coach Kelly Green, (the first coach who Roe worked with) we were able to land Coach Roe at USU Eastern. Roe said

that he’d be mistaken if he didn’t mention he was a Christian man, who falls short most days, but is trying to be better and more Christ-like each and every day.”

He is car-ing and always concerned about others before h i m s e l f . Good luck C o a c h R o e . W e l o o k forward to watching your men perform on the court this year.

The last few weeks for the USU Eastern baseball team have been preparing for their upcoming spring season. The men live and breathe baseball. Up at the crack of dawn, their 7 am workouts accompanied by afternoon practices are whipping the players into shape. “I love working out in the mornings- I feel like I can almost beat Denver Hansen in an arm wrestling match,” said player Luke Madsen. Drew Beach exclaims, “I am working on my triceps. They need to be bigger so I can match my roommate.” Between practices and oftentimes after, they can be found sitting in their classes or studying at vari-ous locations around campus. But when the weekend rolls around, it’s game time.

Sept. 22, the Colorado All-Stars came to Price for their try against a true collegiate level team. Head Coach Scott Madsen states, “The team played well. Everyone got to play the field multiple innings while at least having one go at

bat. It was a good opportunity for the team to get a feel for how the game is supposed to be played with situational hitting.”

Though some may believe it is all about batting average, the “Money Ball” strategy of getting on base is working for our guys. They were able to “do the little things right,” Madsen says. “We kept the pressure on the other team, focused on first getting on base and then stealing bases.” The young All-Stars didn’t stand a chance losing 15-0 followed by 11-0, both in Eastern’s favor. The team held their heads high ready to conquer anyone who dared face them.

Enthusiastic as they may have been prior to Fridays games, the team had an obstacle ahead of them. The Salt Lake City Bruins traveled to Price for an opportunity

to claim victory over the USU Eastern Eagles. Unfortunately, it was victory they claimed.

The team had a slow start allow-ing the Bruins to jump on a quick lead that the Eagles simply could not come back from. Although the USU Eastern pitching staff of Joe Barta, Shayden Poulsen and Chance Abrath did well, Salt Lake took advantage of the errors they were given. The Bruins retaliated with a pitching staff that allowed the Eagles only one run, tallying the final of 11-1.

Game two was evenly matched. The men were able to settle down, get into a groove and compete. Though the level of competition is definitely higher than the weekend before, the team realized they had not only the talent, but also the potential to play with teams of Salt

Lake’s caliber. The team was able to hold Salt Lake at a 1-0 lead for the first five innings, but reluctantly gave up eight when minor errors were allowed back into play. Two innings later, the Eagle brought in eight runs of their own but could not pull to the lead.

Eastern lost the second game 11-8 but looks forward to facing the Bruins in conference play. Catcher Brad Morse said, “It was fantastic. It was a good opportunity to see what baseball competition is really like at a collegiate level.”

The Eagles traveled to Grand Junction Colorado to face the All-Stars once more on Sept. 29. Though it was an easy victory, the game was a much needed confi-dence booster for the team. Once again, circumstance allowed all the players an opportunity to see the

field and have a go around at bat if not multiples. Outfielder Bailey Thomas said, “Carpe Diem. ‘At ‘ill do.”

Madsen looks forward to the season with great anticipation. “We have a good group of guys this year. They’re working hard and improv-ing every day both physically and mentally. The team is farther along than we usually are at the time of the year. They know how to play together and stick together.”

Freshman Kyle Durbin shares Madsen’s enthusiasm stating, “I’m super excited! Playing with new friend Luke Madsen is going to be awesome. He’s a great mentor and one day, I am going to be an LK just like him.”

“I love this game. I’m excited and mentoring Kyle is going to be great,” replies Luke.
