McKenzie Hosenfieldstaff writer
If you have attended a recent
USU Eastern home basketball
game, you will have noticed the
Athletic Centers updated paint
job of the gym walls. The red brick
was replaced with white and the
brown bleachers were repainted
navy blue. Fernando Alcntar,
director of student life, has a hope
that this dramatic change will spark
a renewed school spirit in Eastern
students.
Alcntar is optimistic that the
new gym will breed unity and
increase school spirit. He hopes
that it will intimidate rival teams
and increase student attendance to
the games. Returning from winter
break, ESA planned a grand
reopening with a Blackout and a
ash mob to, Its Always a GoodTime during the rst and secondbasketball games in the newly
painted gym.
The repainting of the gym is a
portion of what he calls Campus
Life 2.0. This mission began by
repainting the McDonald Career
Center blue. It will be completed

Absolutely crazy, but denitely funA group of guys played football on the Reeves lawn on Jan. 29, after the area received another layer of snow. Some of the guys were dressed warm for the game, whileothers showed up in their T-shirts, shorts and athletic shoes. Although the area enjoyed another clear day with pristine air, the temperature was denitely brisk.

As W-2 forms are delivered in
the mail, scholarship applications
and Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) become
due, and taxes need ling, springsemester is nancially soberingfor many students.
Two weeks prior to the start
of the semester, 1,485 undergradu-ate students taking classes at or
through the Logan campus of USU
were removed from the class rolls,
according to Bill Jensen, seniorbusiness officer at the Logan
Campus registrars ofce. Two weeks after the start of
the semester, 647 more studentswere cut from USU, including
graduate students, USU Eastern,
and distance education sites.
Of these, 84 were USU Easternstudents, according to Jan Young,
director of academic records and
registration at USU Eastern.
Young, provided with a list
prior to the deadline, of students
who had not paid, sent a warning
email to the accounts listed aspreferred in the banner accounts
of the students and another to those
who did not make arrangements
with records and registration not
to be dropped.
Students who have not paid
their tuition and fees in full
within two weeks of the start of
the semester are provided with
options by the nancial aid ofceto avoid the purge. Payment plansare available as well as subsidized
loans for students who have ap-plied for FAFSA, which loans do
not charge interest while studentsare enrolled in school full time and
for six months after.
Any students who think they
may have been dropped from
classes may check at the records
and registration ofce or by check-ing their banner accounts. Students
who have been dropped without
receiving the requisite warnings,
should check banner accounts to
make sure their preferred email
addresses are up to date.

Nearly two months of work hasled to usueasternathletics.com be-ing launched on Monday, Jan. 28,although, it will still take more
time before it is complete. After
being up for just a day, the site is
averaging 140 hits per hour.KC Smurthwaite, sports infor-
mation director, said the new site
provides one-stop shopping forathletic needs. The USU Eastern
athletics department owns and
operates the site. While it will be
used as a marketing tool, the site is
home to photos taken at the differ-ent sporting events, schedules and
rosters, coach proles and a link to
the USU Eastern home page whereprospective students can sign up for
a campus visit. It is a great took
for the recruitment of both students
and student-athletes. The site alsohas the potential to house links
for clubs and intramural sports.
Dave Paur, athletic director, saidthe site will enable the athletics
department to have the professional
feel they were looking for. We are
trying to put a good product on and
off the court. Part of that goal is es-tablishing our progra m on the web.

Nine Utah Highway Patroldogs and one Grand Countycanine tested for their annual
narcotics certication at the USUEaster n Price Campus on Jan. 29.
Every week, the
Utah Highway Pa-trol (UHP) canineunits train the dogs
a mandatory eight
hours. According to
ofcer Jared Withers,of the Green RiverUHP, about half ofthis training consists
of the ofcers hidingstashes of drugs for
the other ofcers dogsto nd and the rest isspent drilling the dogs
on other emergency
drills.
The test given inPrice involved a panelof judges hiding stashes of
marijuana, heroin, methamphet-amine and cocaine. The dogs
were then judged by their ability
to locate and draw attention to the
drugs. All of the dogs tested had
passed previous annual certica-tions and offered an exemplary
performance for 2013. The judges for this test were
Blake Gardner, of the EmeryCounty Sheriffs Ofce; TimMagneson, of the West Jordan
Police Department; and TomSmith, of the West Jordan PoliceDepartment.
Sergeant Steve Salas, of
Price, is credited with reservingBurtenshaw Residential Hall and
the old Eagle Bus for the train-ing. According to Sergeant Rob
Nixon, a 12-year veteran of the
UHP, the drills require a largebuilding to keep the dogs from
smelling the stashes reserved for
each other.
Running a police dog is, in
my opinion, the best job in the
world, said Nixon. We workwith one of our best friends and
a loyal partner; a dog that is valu-able to the community. And we
are able to train the dogs to be
able to keep the community safe.
The Deseret News, Utahs sec-ond largest daily newspaper, ran a
story titled USU Eastern shuttersdorm as enrollment fears mount
across state. Information and a
front-page photo from the Jan. 17edition of The Eagle were used in
the art icle. However, this is not what
caughtThe Eaglestaffs attention.
It was two of the 16 comments aboutthe article.
Raybies from Layton, Utah
wrote, I know theres a Utah
State University, but Utah StateUniversity Eastern? Cmon guys
admit it. You made up that uni-versity, right?
Tilka from Portland, Ore.,wrote, If the board of regents
has any sense they would haveshuttered the school several years
ago. Think about it a college in
Price, Utah? The only kids who gothere now are those playing sports
and locals.
Both comments brought smirk-ish grins to the sta ffers faces and
the temptation to use the power of
the pen to set the authors of the
comments straight. They know
rsthand that the rst amendmentto the constitution grants freedom
of the press to all, but was it worth

Its 7:30 a.m., and that annoying beeping sound rips you
from your slumber to blare the fact that your island getaway
in the hot sun wasnt reality, but merely a dream. You slowly
shufe your way into the kitchen with your slippers and
Einstein hair to pour your favorite, but now long overused,
cereal into a bowl with milk and stare aimlessly into the
abyss.
Eventually you coax yourself into the shower to get ready
for yet another day...just...like... yesterday. You have star ted
another monotonous week of the same routine that you have
been living for what feels like a lifetim e.
Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell star i n Groundhog
Day, a movie which emphasizes the idea of monotony well.
Murray plays Phil Connors who is a self-centered, obnoxious,
selsh and heartless newscaster who could really use an at-
titude adjustment. He and Rita (MacDowell) do a weather
forecast on G roundhog Day in Punxsutawney, Pa., which
happens to be where the groundhog lives.
As Connors nishes the day, a huge storms forces himto stay in Punxsutawney. He gets some sleep, but when he
awakes, he nds that magically it is Groundhog Day again.
This happens over and over and over and Connors is stuck
on Groundhog Day for what he thi nks could be forever.
The monotony gets the best of him and he tries killing
himself multiple times in different ways, but he always
wakes up to the same stinking Sonny and Cher song on the
radio to nd that it is still Groundhog Day. No matter whathe does, or how many different ways he tries to spend the
day, he always wakes up on Feb. 2, and cannot break the rut.
After living months a nd months of the same day, he
starts to realize that serving others and self improve-
ment can ease the monotony. He starts to learn piano,
French and ice-sculpting plus he learns as much about
Rita as possible because he starts to like her. He also
looks for things that he can do to improve as ma ny lives
as possible in old Punxsutawney. When all is said and
done, not only is he really good at a lot of things, but his
attitude is adjusted and he and Rita get together. When
he finally gets R ita to like him, he awakens the next day,
and guess what? Its not Groundhog Day anymore! He
has finally broken the rut.
In reality, it is easy to become bored with routine activit ies.
Sadly, routines are exactly what comprise the adult life and
the life of a student. We have schedules, meetings, classes,
extra curricular activities, etc. etc. and yet life still gets
boring because it is the sa me schedules, meetings, classes,
extra curricular activities, etc. etc. every week. Though
this is true, it doesnt mean that we all have to conform and
become robots. Creativity and the desire to think outside thebox can help us to break the rut in which we nd ourselves.
It worked for Phil Connors, and though he was a ctional
character, the Groundhog Day Syndrome can be a real dis-
ease, and self improvement and thinki ng outside the box can
be an effective prescription. What are things that you have
always wanted to accomplish? Maybe there is a talent that
you have secretly wished to develop for years, but among
the routine of life, you have never found the time. Put theclock away for a few minutes a day and develop that talent.
Maybe there is a hobby that you used to enjoy, but havent
done it for a long time because of the demands of life. Go
on vacation from l ife for a moment and enjoy that hobby.
Honestly it is not only fun, but healthy to break out of the
routine and have a little bit of ME time.
Another thing that helps to relieve the constant blah
feeling, is to serve others. There are more than enough
projects and opportunities of service in the community. T he
only thing that those projects lack a re volunteers. You can
be that volunteer. There is an incredible phenomena that
happens when one serves another which is hard to explain
until it is experienced. But problems and stresses shrink
when they are replaced with t he joy of helping another. Not
only can you ease your own unpleasant symptoms, but many
who need service can have their symptoms relieved through
your efforts as well.
Break out of your comfort zone. Put
away that boring avor of cereal and
have some cake for breakfast, or better
yet, use that hidden talent that you have
and bake a cake for the needy familydown the road. Make your dream a
reality and put aside some extra
cash to visit that warm island
getaway. Most impor tantly,
kill the G roundhog Day syn-
drome, and live deliberately
and with pizzazz.

Killing the Groundhog...Day Syndrome
Thumbs up
The Golden Grille at USU
Eastern is what is buzzing in Price!
The great breakfast sandwiches they
serve in the morning along with the
burritos and also the French toast is
top of the line. The breakfast hours
are from 8-10:30 a.m. Other thanthe breakfast, The Golden Grille
also serves cheeseburgers, chicken
sandwiches, subs, and quesadillas
which come in steak and chicken.
If you have not experienced this
great food you need to before it is
too late. The Grille is easily the best
food around Price!
Lately, the activities that have
been put together have been very
intriguing just by the theme of each
night. Starting out with the White
Out dance held a few weeks ago.
Very nice outcome and everyone
there had a lot of fun.
This was in the midst of a suc-
cessful Blackout & Goldout for
the two-home games that week.
Then there was the Pajama Night,
that seemed to be pretty fun, with
the cartoons and cereal, brings us
all back to the good ol days when
thats all we had to do. This past
weekend we had Salsa Night and
also some activities in the BDAC.
For example, human battleship.
What a creative idea for students
to enjoy and interact with each
other. Not to mention all of the
other positive activities such as the
service projects around the city
and the in-school safety awareness
seminars that have been held in the
JLSC. The upcoming events this
week sound like something to be
extremely active in with the Game
Extravaganza on Friday. Not sure
who wouldnt want to be there. Then
the Super Bowl Party on Sunday.
Hopefully everyone else appreciates
the innovative and creative ideas the
student government has put together
thus far this school year.
Thumbs down
Thumbs Down would have to
be the midnightcurfew. I came to
college for the freedom and respon-
sibility that comes along with it. So
why, even without loud noises and
complaints, do I have room checks to
see if Im by myself past midnight?
If students pay room and board,
then unless they are causing others
to lose sleep, they should be ne to
keep company as long as they please.
The only thing that I could see
being a problem is roommates, and
in Sessions there are no roommates,
and AJ and Tucker have living rooms
to entertain. I mean if youre going
to treat me like a child and hold me
to my curfew; how about a wake up
call and anallowance too? Just saying.

4. I think I was in love once.

Grady [McEvoy] asked me to submit some plays,Lund began. I submitted Almost Maine because I justlove itOne of the most difcu lt things we have to do in
life is create relationships. And relationships based onlove are the most important things in our life, whetherwe know it or not. Its not money, its not a career, itslove. We forget how important love is in our lives.
Lund is originally from Uta h, but travels nationwideto work on productions. He recently nished a minise-ries for Discovery Channel and commercials for ArticCircle. He also nished a production of T he Lion in
Winter in Salt Lake.This community has no idea how lucky they are
[having] the theater here, Lund continued. Thestudents work so hard. Theyre so good, theyre so
committed, and most importa ntly, theyre so talented.Sometimes we forget to have love in our life, Lund
said. Thats why I picked this play. Its a comedy, itsstupid, its poignant, its scary. Its all those things t hatlove is. Lund explained that there are nine differentscenes in this play, nine different relationships. Theresalso a lot more to it. It takes place in r ural America, andit speaks to me when Im in Carbon County. It wouldntspeak to me if I was in Chicago.
The Aurora Borealis is what ties the entire playtogether, Lund pointed out. The theater department haspurchased ve star projectors to thrust the audience into
the moment onstage. Everywhere we can put a star,well put a star. The theatrical experience will be li keno other. Grady is designing an environment that willbe very different.
He believes that the hardest thing about the play hasbeen the casting. I have 14 people in the cast, I found14 people I wanted to work withthe most difcult
thing about directing this play is getting out of myhead. Getting out of my space and letting it happen.
Its a sensitive play, Lund reca lls. There a re somber
moments, but there are aspects of love for everyone.That horrible four letter word, love, is what makes abasketball player the best basketball player. Its whatmakes going home the most important part of yourdayIts a comedy about a four letter word. [Everyone]is going to want to make out when were done.

Long after the war rior comes home,the war still rages within him. Whateverhe may have seen or caused is com-pounded deep inside him. It affects hisloved ones most. He doesnt always see thepain he is inicting or t he consequences
of his actions. Above all else, he is tryingto deal. Deal with the screams, the blood,the terror, inicted by both him and the
enemy. Nobody understands that he isghting to stay alive. He is raging a war
within himself, with the beast t hat he had
become. People sit and silently judge himbecause he wont leave the house or theTV for that matter.
But he is ghting with everything he
has to be human. His nger nails break
off as he claws at the walls of his soultrying to free himself from the pain.Bloody and beaten on the inside from awar, he isnt sure he will win. His angryoutbursts arent him. They are the beastthat has momentarily come to the surfacebefore he could drag hi m back down.
But the damage has been done. Hetries to apologize, but as he focuses on thereal world, the battle within him start s
to turn. He loses his gr ip on the ght and
out comes the beast. He silently sobs atnight for the pain and hurt he has causedboth here and over there.
Before he went to war, his world was apicturesque dream world where everyone
was nice and someone always protectedhim. In his world death, murder and hellwere a million miles away in a far offmake believe land that was only readabout in books or seen in movies. Evenafter he goes to thi s land that the world hasforgotten, his world remains unchanged.
One fateful after noon, as they wereout playing army, and essentially go-ing on a guided tour of this strange and
beautiful land, the man in front of him,his best friend, a person that he sharedhis most intimate secrets with, a man whoover the weeks had become much morethan a brother to him, suddenly drops.His body goes limp and he free falls.In one second he goes from best friend;talking and singing a horr ible renditionof Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond toa lifeless lump on the ground.
There is scrambling and chaos; hedoesnt realize what has happened. Atrst, it seems like a dream because that
is the only logical thing his mind canconceive. But then, from under the helmet,
he sees it; shiny,wet and red: blood. In that instant, hismind makes the connection and like athin pane of glass, his world shatters.Every belief he has ever had is up forgrabs. Whats right? Whats wrong? Atthis point nobody knows.
Then he hears a n ear-shattering popand realizes he is being red at. His
training takes over. All that is left of thisonce care free and fun loving man isnothing more than tissue, bone, primalemotions and Uncle Sams training. Eviland horrible deeds are done. Archaicscreams leave his lips. Muscles bulge
and they ll with blood. Heat spreads
across his body. He is now more
animal than man.
Rage lls him. One single, ex-
tremely powerful emotion lls his
mind and takes over every receptor
and every molecule of grey matter.
Kill! The word ows to his feet r st.His feet nd the enemy and propel his
body in that direction. Next, are his
arms. Kill! His weapon feels weight-
less. Next, his eyes. Kill! He aims
at his target. There is no thought of
what he is doing there is only kill.
Finally, his nger. Kill! With a soft,
gentle squeeze and a slightly surpris-
ing pop, the round nds its target. But
the blood rage hasnt stopped. Kill
has consumed his body. With each pull
of the trigger, he loses himself and the
beast takes over. Pain is absent and
fatigue never comes. All there isis
blinding rage.
When the enemy has either been
killed or has retreated, and he has
returned to U.S.-controlled soil, he
is nothing. After the rage subsides,
he is left empty and hollow. He has
to rebuild his life. The problem is he
is constantly thrown back in to the
mouth of Hell.
This constant barrage of bullets
and explosions has become the re ason
he cant deal with his world being
shattered. He has even used this way
of life as a defense mechanism for not
dealing with his issues. To be honest,
the beast has become his best cha nce
of survival. The problem is, the more
he uses the beast, the more he becomes
the beast.
Then its time to return home. Soon
after returning, he learns that he has
brought the beast back with h im.
The ght begins. It is a far more
terrible ght than he has ever faced, forthis enemy knows all of his strengths,
all of his weaknesses and how to use hisfamily against him. First, it gets rid ofhis friends, then it destroys his extendedfamily and nally attacks his fam ily.
The whole time he is ghting this
demon in a war so terr ible, that it woulddrop the biggest, strongest man to hisknees and make him cry like he hasnever cried before.
The ght will continue for the rest
of his life. Even after he has subduedthe beast, he is forever in fear of itgetting out again. He continues to
pay the strictest attention to where
he is, who he is with and what his
surroundings are. Any of these trig-
gers can release the caged beast. The
next time it gets out, he may not be
able to ght it off.

Mystery, murder and mayhem arethrown into a suspenseful jumble in AgathaChristies best selling detect ive novel AndThen There Were None.
Ten guests are invited to relax on adesolate island owned by a millionaire.When the guests ar rive, their host is gone,but the guests are welcome to make them-selves at home.
Following the rst dinner on the island,
a gramophone is accidently turned on andthe record announces that each guest is amurderer. Each guest has murdered in thepast, and each murder was accomplished insuch a way that the law cou ldnt have a holdon any of the guests. Paranoid that someoneknows their secrets, the tension accelerateswhen one of the guests is poisoned.
At rst, the guests assume that t he deaths
are accidental, but after the third death, itis apparent that there is a murderer on theisland. However, a search of the island re -veals that there is no one else on the island,but the eight guests left. No one can leave orarrive at the island because of an enormousstorm has rolled in.
The murderer must be one of the remain-ing guests. But which one?
The story was originally published asTen Little Indians, and the way each guestis murdered follows that nursery rhyme. Therst murder is accomplished with poison,
and the rst line of the nursery rhyme is one
choked his little self. The second victimdies in her sleep, and the second part of thenursery rhyme is one overslept himself.
Slowly the guests lose their humanityand grip on reality. A copy of the Ten
Little Indians poem hangs in each room,and 10 tiny Indian gurines decorate the
dinner table in the beginning. But as eachguest is carefully murdered, the gurines
disappear one at a time af ter each murder.In a twisted plot of r evenge, each guest
is brought to face his or her guilt for themurders they committed. In desperationthey try to signal the mainland for help,but no help arrives in time
TheNew York Timesbook review saidabout the book, When you read what hap-pensyou will not believe it, but you willkeep reading. The whole thing is utterlyimpossible and utterly fascinating. It is themost bafing mystery that Agatha Christie
has ever written.The book, although rst published in
1939, continues to astonish readers andkeep them hanging on to the very end ofthe book where there are none.

Kevin Hurst is the admissions advisor
in enrollment services at USU Eastern. He
earned his associates degree at Weber state
and his bachelors from the University of
Utah in exercise and sports science. Hurst
received his masters from the University
of Central Missouri in college student
personnel administration (CSPA). He ar-
rived at Eastern last August.
Hurst enjoys a variety of things, includ-
ing ying airplanes (he took aviation for
two semesters) but what brought him to
where he is in his career is interacting with
those around him, which is what he likes
about his current position. He is willing to
get involved, and suggests that others do the
same. He maintai ns that getting involved
in College is the best way to discover what
you really want to do in life.
His rst year of college, Hurst gotinvolved in leadership. Before school
started his freshman year, he attended a
fall leadership retreat where he met a group
that would later become his best friends
through college.
As part of the retreat I learned about
committees that I could get i nvolved with.
I was recruited by a couple of committee
chairs. We planned activities and events,
including dances, on campus.
Once he was involved, he said that it
denitely made college more fun. I felt like I
was part of the institution. They werent just
activities, it wasnt just a university, it was
my university. They were my activities.
Although he originally had plans to
be a physical therapist, Hurst found that
he enjoyed the interaction with people
more. That is what led him to his master
in CSPAand ultimately to USU Eastern.
At the University of Central Missouri
where Hurst earned his masters, he was a
graduate assistant in the student involve-
ment and leadership ofce. He and several
others put together a three tier program on
personal leadership.
The program focused rst on oneself,
helping answer the question, what can I
bring to the table as a leader? Second, it
focused on interpersonal leadership how
to incorporate ones skills into a group.
The third tier helped students learn how to
incorporate their skills into the community.
Hurst believes that the most important
aspect of being a leader is knowing who
you are, what you stand for, the direction
youre heading, and having a plan to get
there. If you want to be a positive leader,
you have to have a positive direction.
While at UCM that is what Hurst
helped students accomplish knowing
who they are and where they are heading.
At USU Eastern, he helps students
make the decision to come to Eastern.
My job is to be an admissions advisor.
Its my job to be an expert about the insti-
tution, and entice students to come here.
The most enticing thing about USU
Eastern, according to Hurst, is the expe-
rience that can be had at Eastern. One
area of involvement leads to another
and opens new doors. Students here
dont have to pick and choose, they canhave a wide variety of experiences and
opportunities.
Hurts advice to both prospective and
current students of USU Eastern is dont
hold anything back. Jump at every op-
portunity, every chance to try something.
Live life to the fullest Carpe diem.
Try everything. By doing that, youll
fnd some things that you like and some
things that you dont like. Youll really
come to discover yourself.

USU Easterns Serving Utah Network Center is involved in the suc-
cess of USU Eastern Price campus students in more ways than many
students realize. The SUN Center does not only provide volunteer ser-
vice opportunities for students, but also provides service-learning class
credit. They also work alongside professors to provide service-learning
components within classes. Often students do not take advantage of
these opportunities because they do not know what they are and what
is benecial about them.
In general, service looks good on a resume. Those who volunteer
and track their hours, can show employers their dedication and work
ethic, and give themselves a step up above other applicants. If volun-
teers help with a project that is within their eld of study or career, they
are also able to gai n hands-on experience. This helps in searching for
a career path and applying for jobs. If 200 service hours are tracked
and accomplished, students receive service cords at their graduation.
Volunteers can get more than cords, hands-on experience and resume
builder. They can also get college credit. Volunteers that sign up for a
service-learning course, receive one-college credit for every 18 hours
of service they accomplish. T hey can take up to three service-learning
credits per semester. Students must track their hours and write reections
about their volunteering experience.
Those that have a full schedule or do not have quite as much time to
devote to service, have an alternate option. They can take
classes with a service-learning component. The profes-
sors over these classes coordinate with the SUN Center to
allow students to accomplish a certain a mount of service
hours as part of t he students nal grade in the class. The
professors choose how the service will be evaluated within
the class; which can be from an essay to a presentation.
The SUN Center is working to bring new opportunities
to students so the college experience is fun and me aning-
ful. They hope that their part of student life brings life
experience and enthusiasm to Eastern students.
Some of SUN Centers upcoming service opportunities
are Kids @ Heart, every Monday through Thursday, from 11:30 a.m-
12:45 p.m.; Green Team, every Tuesday at 3 p.m.; Breakaway Navajo
Mountain and Breakaway Calexico, both are alternate spring break
service opportunities; and Kids Valentine Carnival, Feb. 8, 4 p.m.-8
p.m. For information on upcoming events and to sign up, visit the SUN
Center on the second oor of the Jennifer Levitt Student Center or call
435-613-5284.
SUN Center adviser, Terry Johnson said, We most likely have a
project that interests you. We look forward to re ceiving a call a nd seeing
you in the SUN Center soon.

This Christmas, I received an unusual
gift: pepper spray. At rst, I was confused
why my parents felt the need to give me
this weapon of self-defense while I was
going to school in Pri ce. I had always felt
comfortable in this small town and never
questioned my safety while living here.
Three weeks later,
there was anothershooting- this time
at a Texas community
college. I now un-
derstand my parents
reasoning more fully:
no school is immune
from violence, no
matter how perfect
everything appears
to be.
Price is a safe
community with
lower crime rates
than the national or
state average. Despite
this information, students should be
actively engaged in staying safe duri ng
their college years. Many precautionary
measures for college students should be
taken to remain safe while on campus.
Director of Safety, Ofcer James
Prettyman, says the easiest and most
effective way is to use common sense.
He says to keep yourself out of situations
where you could get hurt. He suggests
listening and following your gut feel-
ing: If something feels suspicious and
wrong, it probably is. It is much better to
play it safe than to regret anything later.
Prettyman stresses the importance
of reporting suspicious activities and
crimes to the police. If you are aware of
a problem on campus, alert t he authori-
ties immediately.
Some more use-ful ideas to keep
safe are using
the buddy system
during the dark
hours of the night,
turning your mu-
sic down while
walking around
campus and keep-
ing campus police
on speed dial.
A l t h o u g h
Utah State Uni-
versity Eastern
is a safe learning
environment, play it smart. Be aware
of your surroundings. Lock your door
at night. Keep your cell phone on you
at all times. In the end, it will be the
small decisions that will make the big-
gest difference.

Hayden Petersonsports writer
Super Bowl Sunday falls on
Feb. 3, this year and for most
people the party planning has
already been set in stone for the
last couple of days. People have
their chips and dips ready as well
as the many beverages, entrees,
sides and much more. For most
families and friends the Super
Bowl is just the last game of the
year, 60 minutes to see who will
be crowned champion for the year.
But for Jack and Jackie Harbaugh
it is a different story.The Harbaughs are the parents
of John Harbaugh, head coach of
the Baltimore Ravens, oh yeah, and
Jim Harbaugh, the head coach of
the San Francisco 49ers. Think
about your families for a minute,
I know everybody who has more
than one sibling in their fami ly will
tell you that the par ents denitely
have a favorite child. As for the
Harbaughs, this may be one of
the most difcult Super Bowls
they have ever had to watch. No
matter how the game ends they
will have one son come away a
champion and one son come just
short of their dream. How do Jack
and Jackie choose who to cheer for
in this situation?
It isnt every day that two
brothers coach against each
other, especially at such an elitelevel. The last time the Harbaughs
met head to head was in 2011 on
Thanksgiving night, when Johns
Ravens came out on top 16 to 6. At
the end of the game, the brothers
met in the m iddle of the eld just
as any coaches would, shook hands
and walked in their own directions
towards the locker rooms. Jack and
Jackie were found wearing shirts
that were half Ravens and half
49ers. Cheering for a good football
game and not one son or the other,
just hoping that their sons wouldnt
let the game come between their
relationship as brothers.
Both brothers are extremely
competitive as anyone you ask will
tell you. Jim the younger brother
by 15 months, played quarterback
in the NF L 14 years before joining
his fathers coaching staff as a n as-sistant coach as Western Kentucky
University. In 2002 he retur ned to
the NFL, this time as a QB coach
for the Oakland Raiders, he then
went back to coaching at the col-
legiate level and jumped back to
the NFL where he is prepari ng his
squad for the Super Bowl.
Coaching runs in the Harbaugh
blood, even the Harbaughs sister
married a coach, Tom Crean, head
coach at I ndiana University. Joani
met him while coaching as an
assistant for WKU. Having been
around coaching so long, Joani
(Harbaugh) Crean pretty much
had to nd a coach to call her
husband if she were ever to please
the brothers and father.
The Harbaughs decided to set a
little more history with this Super
Bowl as they decided to have ajoint press conference before the
big game. Not only will this be
the rst time the brothers have
coached against each other in the
Super Bowl as head coaches, but
it is also the rst time the oppos-
ing head coaches will have a joint
press conference. Both coaches
will tell you it is more about the
players on the playing eld than it
is about them. The media, on the
other hand as you have noticed in
the past week, doesnt agree.
For all of you trying to gure
out who to bet on for the super bowl
to bring you home that cash, let
me throw you my prediction and
you can choose if you want to run
with it or not. I am taking younger
brother Jim and the 49ers, 31-27.
It will be close the whole game,
but feel that Joe Flacco will make
a crucial mistake in the second
half that will cost him and Ray
Lewis the Super Bowl. Good luck
with your predictions. Sneak peek
into next editions

von Langston

Miles Gatewood is a member of the 2012-13 mens basketball
team at Utah State University Eastern. Gatewood is an outstanding
ball player, and a contributing member of t he program. You can
tell his passion and love for the game is crazy. . . good cra zy.
He puts in hours and hours at the gym everyday improving
shots, defense and ball handling.
Growing up he said he loved, and always played both football
and basketball. Getting older he felt like he was bett er at foot-
ball, but his parents pressured him into focusing on basketball.
As he star ted focusing on basketball he played on a traveling
AAU team year ar ound, traveling all over the U.S. One big memory
that Gatewood said he will never forget, was having the chance
to play in back-to-back state championship games in basketball.
He says that was for sure one of the best feelings he has ever had.
As a freshman in college he played ball in Missouri, and decided
to come to USU Eastern afterwards. Coming here, he became a
star on and off the court. He has put up big points and assists and
contributes every day on the court.
In his journey in life he has met NBA legend Jerry West in
person, and he admir es his cousin, NBA player, Austin Daye.
Travon Langstonsports writer
Having family who either played in professional sports or are playing
in professional sports may be a factor in Miles Gatewoods athletic ability.
Gatewood is from Portland, Ore. He has one brother that is a freshman in
college and also plays basketball. He lives with his mother, Janice, and his
father, Gary.
He has a cousin in the NBA, Austin Daye, who plays for the Detroit Pistons.
His father is a professional cameraman. He helped with movies such as the
PJs, Paranorman a nd Coraline. He also played in the N BA for the Seattle
Sonics and the N FL for a short time with the Dallas Cowboys. Gatewoods
mother is a hair stylist; he said she cuts his hair all the time.
Gatewood went to Westview High School where he played basketball
and averaged 16 points as a senior, and helped take his team to the 6A state
championship his junior and senior years. Unfortunately, his team lost to
the same team both years. Gatewood remarked, Even though we lost to the
same team both years, it was a great experience and I wouldnt change that for
anything. Having a successful high school career, Gatewood earned Second
Team All-State, and First Team All-Metro.
Gatewood played a lot of summer basketball. He said the best thing about
playing summer ball is, Traveling to different states, it is always a great
experience. You get to see different parts of the United States, and that
alone is a blessing. He traveled to Virginia, California, Nevada, Texas,
Washington, and Arizona for tournaments. His freshman year in college,
he attended Missouri State West Plains where he averaged 10 points a game
and the tea m went 22-10.
He transfered to USU Eastern to be closer to home, and play in the SWAC
conference. When talking about players intimidating him, Gatewood replied,
Yes, there is one person, Todd Helgesen. Gatewood said that Helgesen
was a erce player. He is an animal on the court, he grabs rebounds,
dives on the oor, he is just an absolute beast. One time he blocked me
so hard, I fell. I get nervous when I have to play against Todd in practice.
He takes no prisoners. Gatewood is thankful to be on a team with him,
because he never gives up, he does the little things that take no talent.
Thats what I like about him the most.
Gatewoods hobbies are hanging with fam ily and fr iends, listening to
music and watching football. After t his school year, he plans on moving
to a D1 school. After that, he hopes to go overseas to play basketball.

Suffering a combined 91-point
loss over the Jan.17-19 weekend,
the USU Easter n mens basketball
team desperately needed a win
over Colorado Northwestern last
weekend and nally squeezed a
six-point victory over the SWAC
cellar dwellers. Northern Idaho
defeated the Eagles by 27 points,
71-44. CSI continued the blowout
by scoring 103 points to EUs 39,
and winning by 64 points. The sole
win came at home with a 78-72
victory over CNCC.
Fourteenth-ranked North Idaho
showed why they are nationally
noticed by dominating the Eagles.
The men kept the game withinreach in the rst half only trailing
by seven, 22-29. Only shooting 33
percent from the eld, the Eagles
struggled to keep pace the rest of
the game. With only 14 minutes left
in the second half the men had the
game in reach only losing 32-34.
Pulling away during the end of
the second half, NIs Jalil Abdul-
Basset scored a season high of 22
points, nishing the E agles. EUs
Jason Timpf managed to score 16
points and grab 10 rebounds to tr y
and stay in the game, while Mike
Stroud added 10 points and eight
rebounds.
Coach Roe said, NI exploded
in the second half and made a lot of
buckets. They were all over Gate-
wood which pretty much shut down
our scoring with Vitor Machado out
of the game.CSI denitely avenged their
Dec.13 15-point loss by annihilat-
ing the Eagles by 64 points. CSI
had six players break double digits
and 40 points from the bench. The
Twin Falls Times News stated, CSI
dominated every phase of the game,
showing off its depth and versatil-
ity throughout. It started with ball
pressure, as it always seems to
with [Coach Steve] Gosars team,
as guards Sebastian Michineau,
Kareem Storey and Montigo Al-
ford heated up the ball as they
like to say. The trio forced Utah
State-Eastern out of its offense
and into mistakes i ncluding 25
turnovers.
Both teams took 56 shots from
the eld with CSI shooting 57
percent from the eld while the men only shot 25 percent.
CSIs Juwan Newman went 12 for 12 from t he free t hrow
line and managed to score six more points leading CSI
with 18 points. Miles Gatewood led scoring for t he Eagles
with 14 points.
Coach Carter Roe stated, The CSI game was an eye
opener, and really showed us what happens when you are not
prepared. In this case when in rains it pours, and as coaches
we take blame for this by not having our guys prepared.
After a tough couple of games, bottom-ranked Colorado
Northwestern traveled to Price to take on the Eagles on
Jan. 26. The men shot the ball exceptionally well hitting 51
percent of their shots fr om the eld. EUs Gatewood pushed
the pace scoring 22 points and handing out three assists.
The Spartans couldnt keep up with the nal score being
78-72 in favor of the Eagles. Timpf chalked up another
double-double on the season with 14 points and 10 rebounds.
Roe added, We shot the bal l exceptionally well with
Gatewood going 4-6 on three pointer in the rst half. Foul
shooting is still one of our weaker points we are working
on that. I feel like a fter the Snow game our foul shooting
has kept declining, which like I said before we are work-
ing to improve.
The Eagles need to work on overall shooting percentage
to be able to win some of the upcoming games. Shooting 44
percent from the f ree throw line over the weekend doesnt
help either. With Dytanya Bubby Johnson tied for fth
in the SWAC for rebounds that is a strong point for the
Eagles. The Eagles are on the road the next two weekends
to take on Snow College on Jan. 31, and 11 thranked SLCC
on Feb. 2. Then face a rematch against NI and CSI t he fol-
lowing weekend. Their nal home games on Feb. 21 and
23 against Snow and SLCC.

The USU Eastern womensbasketball team hit a wall onthe road, dropping two gamesby 18 points each, but redeemedthemselves when they camehome the following week andwon by 38 and 16 points. Theroadblock started against NorthIdaho College on Jan. 17.
Gabriela Borges had aphenomenal game hitting 100percent of her eld goals and
scoring 16 points. Amy Arbonled the team in scoring with 20points. The two scored 36 of theteams 49 points.
The total eld goal percent-age of the team, however, was30 percent compared to NICsshooting percentage of 49 per-cent. NIC was also able to takecontrol of the boards gathering
39 rebounds which allowed 20second-chance points. WhileEastern was able to drain shotsbehind the arch, NIC was con-trolling the paint, scoring 32points compared to Easter ns 6.
Despite the valiant effortsof Borges and Arbon, it wasntenough and the game was lostby 18 points.
Following that tough loss,the Eagles traveled to TwinFalls, Idaho, to match up againstCollege of Southern Idaho onJan. 19. In the previous meet-
ing with CSI, Eastern was ableto come back from a 13-pointdecit for a chance to win, but
wasnt able to cut it in the close
game and ended up losing 65-60on their home court.
This time, however, Easternwas unable to make it backfrom the decit in Idaho and
lost 97-69.Abby Call led the team
in points with 16 and Arbongrabbed 8 rebounds
Eastern had a hard time sink-ing baskets. They shot 2/13 frombehind the 3-point line in therst half. Their tough defense
caused CSI to turn the bal l over27 times, but it wasnt enoughto stop CSI from shooting 55percent from the eld and taking
the win. The team simply ranout of gas, said Head CoachDave Paur.
Paur said that the road tripwas tough on the team. Most
teams y, but we take a 17-hourbus ride.After the rough games on the
road, the team was glad to beback in Price for the next week.They played a game against theAlumni All-Stars on Jan. 24.Eastern controlled the gamegrabbing 61 rebounds, sevenblocks and 13 steals. HaileeParry had a fantastic game scor-ing 20 points and dishing fourassists. Eastern dominated thegame; winning 80-42.
It gave us a boost of con-
dence going into the game
against Colorado, Paur said.Paur was denitely right.
The Saturday following the
game against the Alumni All-Stars, Eastern played one oftheir best games of the yearagainst Colorado Northwestern.
Parry had an amazing gamehitting 4/5 three-pointers, scor-ing 22 points, and grabbing fourrebounds. Rachel Scoggins hada phenomenal shooting streakhitting three 3-pointers in arow, which increased Easternslead by 11 with three minutesleft in the half.
After the game Paur said,We played the best defense wehave played all year. Anyonewho went to the game wouldagree. Easterns defense caused22 turnovers. Borges led theteam in steals with four. Easternwon the game 68-52.
USU Eastern has a four-
game road trip ahead of themand Paur says, Were excited,were ready to play. They goup against Snow College onJan. 31, who they beat in theirlast appearance and SLCC onFeb. 2. After those games theywill be travelling to Idahoagain for a chance to redeemthemselves against NIC onFeb. 7and CSI on Feb. 9. Hope-fully the momentum they havegained from their two-gamewinning streak can carry overto the road trip ahead.
Superwoman ofEverything

Standing ve-feet, nine-inches tall, shoot-ing guard, Amy Arbon, is a leader both on andoff the court for the USU Eastern lady Eaglesthis season. Arbon is a returning starter anda major asset to the team. Her favorite aspectabout playing basketball is the almost instantfriendships that generate between teammatesand coaches.
Early on she was selected by her teammatesto take on the role of team captain and they sayshe has done her job well. Its not an easy taskto do your job and make sure everyone elsedoes theirs as well. However, Arbon does itwell. Couch Dave Paur said, Amy is one hell
of an athlete. This quote is proven every dayin the gym and during games.
She leads the team with 43 steals and isaveraging eight points and ve rebounds per
game. Arbon is also money from behind thearch. Shooting 11 for 30 from three-pointrange this season, she can always be countedon. Arbon proved this in a recent game whenshe hit a clutch three down the stretch in thehome game against Snow College.
It may seem as if basketball is all t here is toArbon, but that is far from true. She grew up inCleareld, Utah, with three siblings: two brothers
and a sister. Now she is most proud of is beingan aunt to four adorable nephews that can becontributed to her siblings. In fact ,hanging outwith her family is one of her favorite things to do.
Arbon isnt afraid to get a little dirty andis always up for an adventure. Snowboardingand dirt biking are two outdoor activities sheenjoys and remodeling, but she is also like thetypical female and loves to hit the mall for someshopping. Oh and you cant forget eating, of
course I like that, Arbon said.She is superwoman of everything, from
shooting the three to gutting a bathroom, andshe is a saint, said teammate and friend KathyCollette. Collette was dead on with saint com-ment. Arbon said, I cant lie because I alwaysget a guilty conscience. Maybe thats whyeveryone loves to have her around because sheis so t rustworthy.
When Arbon graduated high school, shewasnt sure what she wanted to do with herlife. After think ing about it she ended up atWeber State for a year, but the temptation ofplaying basketball at a collegiate level was justtoo much and she ended up at USU Eastern.While here, Arbon isnt sure what she wouldlike to major in, but she is leaning towardstechnology management.
Arbons time at Eastern is coming to anend in three months, but she isnt ready to bedone with school. When this semester ends,she plans to attend either UVU or Utah Stateto obtain a bachelors degree.

After two years of searching, Utah State University Easternhas a new Eagle Bus for transporting and advertising the ca mpuscommunity.
For more than 30 years, USU Eastern athletic teams have beentraveling to their games and tournaments in a 1981 MCI C9 bus.This bus did not have enough seating for both male and femaleteams, despite having had the restroom removed to augment theseating capacity. With 400,000 miles, the C9 was well past itsprime and in need of a replacement.
Over a year ago, Robyn Sheriff, director of purchasing, startedlooking for a replacement. Sheriff contac ted the MCI headquar terswhere a salesman of pre-owned vehicles directed her to the LakeShore Motor Coach in Provo, UT. She looked all over the United
States, nding buses in Florida and New York. She chose a 2004
MCI J4500, for its accessibility and low cost.The coach cost $177,000 out the door, while comparable
coaches cost around $250,000, and it will be paid off withinthe next ve years. For this price, the school bought a vehicle
with 371,000 miles, new tires, a functioning restroom, a seatingcapacity of 56, and all of the bells and whistles found on mostcommercial airplanes.
I think its one of the best marketing tools t hat we can have,Sheriff said.
Coach Dave Paur, director of athletics, went farther in hispraises of the bus as well as Sheriff and Brad King, vice chancellorof administration and advancement, for providing it, This busgives credibility to the college. Greg Dart, dir ector of enrollmentservices, is designing a wrap and once we have that it will be likea moving billboard. Paur explained that while the C9 EagleBus was a great workhorse, people recognized it as a relic. Thenew bus, coupled with the newly painted gym gives the school alook of newness that is attractive to high school recruits.
After 30 years, athletes get to ride in comfort
New bus for athletics and student programs.
