After winning the 2014 student body

elections, Ben Bjarnson, USU Easterns

new student body president, already has

many ideas formulating for the upcom-

ing school year. Right after discovering

that he won the elections, his rst thought

was surprise. When it came to the com-

petition between the two candidates

B ja rnson

says, Mi-

randa Cox

was a really

pow erfu l

candidate.

W i t h

the next

school year

approach-

ing quickly,

Bjarnson isformulat-

ing many

ideas o f

w ha t he

would like

to see happen at USU Eastern. One of

these ideas is bundling tuition with books

so students are paying one price. This

will also allow students to have their

books on the rst day of classes. Thechances of this happening next year is

not likely, but will hopefully be in place

for future generations.

He would like to see advertising ef-

forts increase on campus. There are a

lot of activities on campus that students

dont nd out about. By strategically

placing little billboards, we could ef-

fectively reach a larger population and

include the community as well. This

will build our community partners and

help students learn more about the com-

munity which will help them nd jobs

and alternative places to live.

Another project Bjarnson is hoping

to accomplish is the increase of clubs on

campus and help organizers feel needed

and wanted. By doing this, it will help

students meet people who share the sameinterests and create more activities that

allow students to become involved.

When it comes to changes at USU

Eastern, Bjarnson is cautious, but open

minded. Change is always scary and I

am deantly concerned about when weneed to change, but something I would

like to see change or increase is the

relationship between the faculty and

staff with the students. I want students

to be able to feel comfortable approach-

ing them when they have a question or

concern. I want an immediate support

system within the faculty and staff so

students know who they need to go to

for help.

Each year the student body president

has a major project they are in charge

of. Bjarnson has some ideas about what

he wants to do and is in the beginning

stages of the planning process. One of

his ideas is to team with a local com-

pany called Little Billboards. The

owner, Kevin Johnson and his partner,

provide television advertising programs.

Bjarnson said, I would like to place

these throughout campus and in build-

ings where students rarely hear about

activities. By putting advertising there,it would let students know what is going

on and they would feel more included

with student life.

With this next school year approach-

WHAT A WOMAN WANTS RAISES $5GS

USU eastrn Cosmtologys 1stannual What a Woman Wants expo Fundraisr

With 34 vendors and over 700 in attendance, the

What a Woman Wants Expo was a phenomenal

success. Nearly $5,000 was raised in scholar-ship funds to increase retention and recruitment in the

cosmetology department. This fundraiser was organized

in only ve weeks by a group of six talented women.

Kathy Smith had this to say: The committee made up ofDebbie Prichard, Karra Hi llam, Jeannie Anderson, Peggy

Hennings, Amanda Holley and myself had a great time

working together and it was a great mi x of talented women

each bringing something different to the event and that

combination of talents made the expo hugely successful.

The Cosmetology department would like to note that

this expo could not have come together without the gen-

erous contributions of the community. The Tony Basso

Group made a signicant donation, including the use ofThe Tuscan Event Center, printing costs for all posters,

large vinyl signs, and tickets as well as free radio advertise-

ments for the event on KUSA FM100. The KOAL 98.3

Kickin Country station also donated airtime, and The Sun

Advocate newspaper printed free advertisements as well.

The USU Eastern cosmetology students contributedby painting thumbnails red for the Red Thumb Reminder

campaign to stop texting while driving. Students also did

manicures, gel nails, braiding tutorials and all of the hai r

and make-up for the fashion show models.

Local vendors of all types were at the expo, display-

ing goods, services and helpful tutorials. There were all

sorts of different booths, giving women everything that

The rumors are becoming realities, Fri-

day April 25, 2014; gold shovels will breakground, marking the start of construction on

the Central Instructional Building.

The ceremony begins at 6 p.m. in the

ballroom of the SAC building, complete with

a semi-formal reception and refreshments.

Chancellor Joe Peterson says, We want to

thank some very import ant people who hada big impact on getting this thing done.

Key players in the lobbying process for

the CIB include Sen. David Hinkins and USU

President Stan Albrecht. He put us (USU

Easterns CIB) at the top of the universitys

priorities. Its a huge endorsement. Tony

Basso, Marc Bingham and the Sorenson

Legacy Foundation all contributed vary-

ing amounts to the project, all starting at

$250,000.Those mentioned are the largest do-

nors, but many more have also contributed

substantial sums. Of them, Peterson said,

People know how important this is. Theyhave a sense of what this means and what it

will do for the community. They are willing

to put their resources into it, and we want to

thank them at the ground breaking.

Student life will be drastically impacted,

beginning in early May, one short month from

now. Peterson says, The fence [surroundingthe existing quad where the CIB will be built]

will go up the rst week in May, right then

all kinds of construction start s. They plan to

have the roof and the walls done by the end

of Fall 2014 term. This means t hat studentswill no longer be able to cut through the lawn

on their way across campus. Parking will be-come

With all the Is dotted and Ts crossed,

USU Eastern will have a Utah Peace Ofcer

Standards and Training (POST)-satelliteacademy fall semester 2014.

According to March 31s edition of the

Salt Lake Tribune, The Utah Peace Of-

cer Standards and Training Council onThursday [27] approved the creation of a

new police academy at Utah State University

Easternin Price.

M. Scott Henrie, associate professor of

criminal justice at USU Eastern, will be the

academys director. He said the rst class

will start in August with an estimated 15 to20 students and could attract future police

ofcers to serve communities throughout

Central and Eastern Utah.

Weber State University, Salt Lake Com-

munity College, Utah Valley University and

Dixie State University each have satellite

academies on their respective campuses.

There are none on the Wasatch Front andthats where USU Eastern criminal justice

Associate Professor Scott Henrie will llthe void. He wants students from Vernal to

Monticello to have access to USU Easterns

academy as well as from the Wasatch Front.

Henrie said the state of Utah regulates

POST programs and each satellite academy

cannot be located within 50 miles of anotherPOST certication program. He secured a

letter of support from local law enforcement

administrators and submitted a plan to thestate of how USU Eastern would run the

academy. With three-full binders of POST

curriculum on his desk, he is ready to launch

the program on the Price campus.

On March 20, 2014, at 10:38 p.m. USU

Eastern Police Ofcer C. Steele was con-tacted by Price City Dispatch and advised

that campus secur ity ofcer, Jacob Roberts,located three-intoxicated-male subjects

inside the auto mechanic shop. OfcerRoberts was in the McDonald Career Center

completing lock-ups when he heard voices

coming from inside the shop area. He went

inside to see what was going on and found

the three subjects, one of them passed out.

Upon his arrival, Ofcer Steele stated,It was obvious that all three male subjects

were intoxicated, their balance was poor,

their eyes bloodshot and their speech slurred,

not to mention the strong odor of alcohol

coming from them. When the subjects

were asked, all three quickly denied having

consumed alcohol. They told the ofcers of

a pact they made earlier in the night to make

a bad decision and they shook hands on it.

The bad decision they made together was

to go back into the auto shop after hours and

work on vehicles while being intoxicated.

Ofcer Steele asked all three gentlemen

their names, ages and if they were students

at USU Eastern. One of the subjects said

he was under 21 and lived off campus. He

said he was a student of the USU Eastern

Auto Mechanic class. The two other subjects

advised the same.

Price City Ofcers Stephan Regruto

and Kelly Maynes arrived to assist. Rob-

erts showed the ofcers where he located

the subjects. On a toolbox where the three

subjects were located, the ofcers found a

marijuana pipe full of a green leafy substance

that was consistent with marijuana. When

informed about the suspected marijuana,

Ofcer Steele asked the three subjects if

they knew anything about it.

A few years ago I lived in Colorado where

the Rockies are majestic and the marijuana

is legal. My family and I came to Price one

weekend to visit family. We were enjoying

our time together and a long comes some old

family frinds, including my rst bst frind.

She was attending school here (CEU) at the

time. It was the eve of the in famous Lite Brite

dance. She extended the invitation for me to

join her for a night that promised adventure

and excitement. Little did I know that my

decision to join her would shape my destiny

and put me where I am today.

As w pulld up to th building whr th

danc was hld, my hart bgan to rac. Th

dp bass and ashing lights wr impossibl

to ignore as we drew closer to the entrance.Bfor I could gt my bar ings, w wr in

th cntr of th danc oor. Paint raind

down like candy from a piata. My senses

wr orwhlmd and as I was about to

th scn, a strang thing happnd. A

familiar song came over the sound system and

my soul bgan to lt itslf b f r. I dancd.

Nr bfor had I spokn th words of my

heart through a medium other than words.

I realized that not only was I moving to the

bat, but popl bgan to watch m. I was

a good dancer and nothing could stop meafter that moment.

When the night ended and the only thing

that rmaind wr th tangibl mmoris

from the night, I was stunned. I had so much

fun that I changed my whole life path and

started plans to come to Price, Utah, for

school. I now nd myslf happily attnding

this magical school. Many dances have come

and gon. Th nu may chang, but th

rlas of th soul rmains constant and rm.

Dancing in the emergency exit for the heart.

Not everyone is gifted with rhythm and

can danc wll. Th simpl fact is that whn it

comes to dancing, many people look like they

ar ghting a wickd cas of diar rha. Thy

ar not condnt and it shows. I know simpl

dance moves that look good, are versatile and

hlp th soul brath. I am willing to sharfrom my deep well of dance wisdom so pay

clos attntion and b prpard to boogi.

Th rst tip may b th singl most im-

portant dance fundamental of all time. An

aspiring dancr must nr worry about what

others think. Our awkward dancers with an

apparent loose colon are fence sitters stuck

in no-mans land. Thy ar wors off than

the stuck up crowd keeping the chairs warm.

Thy cannot ddicat thir mos to thir

innr song. Larning to rlas all inhibi-

tions will help improve dancing more thanany other way. We have all seen the dancer

that dosnt nd an audinc, but frquntly

attracts on bcaus thy ar dancing as if

their soul is saying, I just crapped myself and

I dont care. Instead of twisting, swaying and

conulsing lik a laxati-lld human, just

lt your soul rlas its mtaphorical bowl

movements. In essence you must release you

inner Kraken.

Now that we look like morons on the

danc oor, w ar prpard to put som

actual mos into our routin. Th arms

and legs are auxiliary tools in your rhythmic

armada. Thy can ail and ap around lik

wind-blown snot hanging from a toddlrs

nos. Th tru powr and passion coms

from th booty, th plis, th hips and, if

aailabl, th chubby tummy. Larning toutiliz ach of ths sassy body parts will

ensure success at t he next rave.

Here are a few moves that utilize what

w want to aunt. Fw mos mak a stat-

mnt as bold as a groin thrust. Twrking is

a relatively new move in which the dancer

shaks thir bottom lik a martini. If th

chks prmit, larn to shak thin bottom

like there is no tomorrow. If we are dancing

the truth of our soul, our hips are shak ing like

Ros and Jack shortly aftr th Titanic wnt

scuba diing. A danc icon today is Shaki raand her hips dont lie. Shakira is honest with

hr spirit and body. If you ar blssd with

a jlly blly, thn for th sak of all that is

good and holy, shak that brad dough.

Th nal pic of dancing gold is to nd

a song that rally dns you and practic.

Thr is no guarant that you will b abl

to danc wll in a short priod of tim, but

prsistnc las no room for doubt that

with nough tim you will b abl to danc

wll. Until that point, it isnt a bad ida to

keep your dance rehearsals in private until

th big school danc.

I close with a

quot from Mn

at Work, We can

dance if we want

to, we can leaveyour frinds b-

hind. Cause your

friends dont

dance and if they

dont dance,

well theyre

no friends of

mine.

Thr is nothing gratr than bing a part of th things

you love. Whether that is fam ily, friends, work, recreational

activities or sports, it is al l the same feeling of satisfaction.

For m, and millions of othr Amricans, that is xactly

what March Madness is.

Its that tim of yar again whr w all gt to squz

as many popl as w can around a Tv to watch th gam

of basktball in its last stag of purity. Som lik to think of

th NCAA basktball tournamnt as th gratst comptition

in all of sports. Mayb its bcaus of its 64 tams that allha an qual chanc of bcoming th bst tam in th na-

tion that yar, which maks it by far th gratst amount of

comptition in national sports. Or mayb its bcaus rygame in the tournament is win or go home, which many

bli to b th trust form of championship comptit ion.

In th nd though, I bli it coms down to on ariabl

that sts this comptition abo th rst; th comptitors.

Th only thing ths young mn and womn car about

is playing th gam thy lo to th bst of thir ability.

Thy play to win. Thy play for prid and glory. Thy play

bcaus thy want to b th bst. Its not taintd by mony

or prizes or giveaways, only a pair of scissors to simply cut

down th nt aftr bcoming th national champion. Thats

what its all about. If you dont bli m, if you somhow

think that n this ll of collg basktball has now bn

ruind by undr-th-tabl-scholarship mony or signing

bonuss, thn just watch on gam of th tournamnt and

take a good look into any one of those players eyes whenthe game is on the line.

No systm is pr fct, but its obious that ths playrs

still have that elusive desire for the game, not for themselves.

Its the only way you could explain how every year there

sms to b at last on hug undrdog, low sd, or un -

known collgiat tam somhow squak thir way into th

swt 16. You just dont gt th sam comptiti dr i out

of professional sports. Close game after close game, these

young playrs lay it all on th lin ry tim down th oor,

for ry possssion, for ry shot and ry rbound.

Thr is nothing I njoy mor in lif than doing th

things I love, with the people I love. I mean, it sounds like

th prfct combination, right? Thats bcaus it is. I just

want to sit down with friends and family, pizza in hand, a

little chip and d ip, and a few stacks of Oreos, chased down

with a lit tle Mountain D ew. Okay, a lot of Mountain Dew.

Its lik I ha bn saying from th bginning: this, is what

its all about.So sit back, rlax, or dont rlax and ha a strok lik

som of us bcaus our tam wont stop fouling in t h nal

minuts of a crucial gam, grab a fw frinds and som

drinks, and enjoy the party that is March Madness.

Te meaning of March Madness: enjoy the game

als. Thr wr all sorts of diffrnt booths, giing

women everything that they want, including clothing,

One USU Eastern student in attendance sa id, Even

with only a little money to spend, I got some great

deals and free samples. I loved talking to all of the

frindly ndors and larning about th many grat

businsss w ha hr in Carbon County. It was a

grat opportunity for local businsss to markt and

build thir customr bas. Th cosmtology dpart-

ment is an advocate for shopping local and hopes this

expo helps local residents realize they dont have to

drive through the canyon to get what a woman wants.

Som highlights from th xpo wr th aluabl

tutorials, such as DIY oral arrangmnts by Lo

Floral, how to crat th smoky-y look by th Cos-

mtology Dpartmnt, mak ing your own arr ings by

Apple Country Crafts, and healthy smoothie recipes

by Castliw Hospital. Th fashion show put on

by Lil Touch of Bling was also hug hit and Jacki

Dais of Pric Floral outdid hrslf whn sh srd

Smith sums up th nt by saying, We could

surprisd by what thy found insid th halls of th

that is possibl.

All in all it was a grat nt put on by grat

and the USU Eastern cosmetology department in

such a big way.

Changes in the Dominican Republicaffect USU EasternGlobal Academy, a program that was

new to USU Eastern last summer wont bereturning a second time to USUs Pricecampus. The program was an English-immersion program for students fromthe Dominican Republic to come to theUnited States to be fully immersed in thelanguage and culture of America. Theprogram was part of the countrys pushfor furthering the education of its citizens.

In addition to Global Academy, partof that focus on education was a group of14 students called a cohort. The cohortcame to Price for Fall semester 2013 tostudy for two years and then move on toLogan to nish their degrees.

Because of changes in the countrysgovernment, both these programs will no

longer be coming to Price.In regard to the reasons why these twoprograms have been cancelled at Eastern,

Kristian Olsen, director of enrollmentservices at Eastern confessed that, wedont know a lot.

We do know however that the presi-dent of the Dominican Republic, DaniloMedina was recently elected to ofce in2012. As part of his platform, Medinaurges his administration to be more s-cally conservative.

The two big things we have been toldare that the Dominican Republic has a newpresident, and he is trying to do what iseconomically smart for his country, saysOlsen, And so he is really pushing forscally prudent decisions. That includeseducation. As part of that, and the secondthing is that they are no longer going tosend undergraduate students to USU toLogan or Price campuses. Logan will stillbe receiving graduate students.

The end of incoming students fromthe DR affects everyone, Olsen said, wereally value the DR students. They add a

lot to our campus.But one person in particula r who willbe affected is Kimberly Pratt, formerdirector of Global Academy.

Though there will not be a new inuxof students, Pratt will continue to providespecic advising to the Dominican stu-dents who are already on campus.

In addition, she will receive a newposition at Eastern. She is to be an as-sistant to Evette Allen, the new director ofstudent life, involvement and leadership.She will also be taking over buildingmanagement.

Pratt expressed gratitude to be giventhe position, but says that she will missworking with the Dominican students inthe years to come.

Im sorry that we could not haveany more cohorts or Global Academy

students from the Dominican Republic.The community, as well as the staff, reallyenjoy the students being here, she said.

Alex Herzog Ed. D., arrived at USU

Eastern in December 2008 from theUniversity of Nevada at Las Vegas,

starting as dean of students. Eventu-ally, he took on the responsibilities of

the campus auxiliaries which include

the post ofce, food services, student

housing, ect.He lead the student services team

when the school merged with Utah StateUniversity, and with his staff created

an improved student code of conduct,updated student related policies and

procedures and overall created a betterenvironment for student success.

Herzog focused strongly on improv-ing student lives on campus by sup-

porting their academic endeavors andhelping remove obstacles with the help

from places as the counseling ofce and

disability resource center.

He put forth a great effort to listen

to the voice of the students and being

responsive to their needs, which hethen tried connecting with the faculty

to provide the best customer service tothe students as possible. He says one of

the best meetings he had was with theGay Straight Alliance group where they

discussed the difculties they have on

campus, and how the faculty and staff

can become better advocates for them.Looking back, Herzog says one ex-

perience that really sticks out is when heand James Prettyman, of campus police,

went on Spring Breakaway with the SUN

Center a few years ago and was able to

provide service and hang out with thestudents. Whenever he went to a student

activity and get involved, will be someof his favorite memories. He says he

tried to avoid the activities at the poolhowever, because he knew he would end

up getting pushed in.A rm believer of trying to leave

something better than when you foundit, he feels that this was the case when

it comes to his t ime spent here. He says

hes proud of the conduct code created.

He is also proud of the faculty and their

dedication to the students, and their

ability to create a st rong close-knit team.There are many little th ings he didnt

get too that he wishes he could have. He

would love to see the school get more

advisers on campus, and implementmore tools that would help students

become more successful. His favorite

part of being in this position is being able

to work with the campus community,with the students, faculty and advisers.

Herzogs service involvement was

not just isolated to campus. He was a

board member of the Price Kiwanis Club

for the past four years where he assistedin implementing major events such asKids Day, The Radio Auction and the

Duck Derby. Not getting involved is notan option for Herzog.

He says what he will miss most is

the caring people of Carbon County.

When someone is in need the wholecommunity steps up. Ive made some

life long friends here and have somegreat memories. Its not goodbye, its

more like Ill see you later.

Herzog has accepted a new position

of vice president for student affairs and

enrollment at Rochester Community

College. It is a two-year institution in

Rochester, Minn., with 6,000 students.

One of the departments he will be over

is athletics, however, they do not have

any housing on campus, which will be

different for Herzog.

The school has a wide array of

technical elds. The town itself hasthe Mayo Clinic, which is one of the

premier medical facilities, and there is

a partnership between it and the school

to provide the students more workforce

experience.

Regarding Herzogs resignation,

Chancellor Joe Peterson wrote in an

email, Were all aware of what a great

leader and friend he has been. He has

poured energy, insight and commitment

into USU Eastern, and the college is bet-

ter for his having been our colleague. As

you see him during the coming month,

take the opportunity to learn from him

about promising new prospects, thank

him for all he has done, and wish him

well.

Herzog would like to thank TheEaglefor all their support over the years.

He says, The re-

porters have

been fantas-

tic and Dr.

Polster has

been a

g r e a t

support-

er for stu-

dent ser-

vices.

Yo u are needed to he lp!

Although internationally acclaimed preservationist, pre-history scholar and former USU Eastern professorDr. Pam Miller is not yet ready to call in famed environmentalist Julia Buttery Hill to live in a Spruce alongUtahs Nine-Mile Canyon for 784 days or to bring back Edward Abbeys Monkey Wrench Gang in order todraw attention to the continued preservation efforts needed in Nine-Mile Canyon, she will present a rivetingupdate on the current preservation efforts in Nine-Mile Canyon, perhaps the most important prehistoric andarchaic archaeological preservation effort in North America.

More specically, Miller will discuss the 2010 Tavaputs Plateau Programmatic Agreement, which was theresult of a compromise between natural gas development and preservation activities. She will report onwhat the end was supposed to be, what the Nine-Mile Canyon Coalition saw as the beginning, and what hassubsequently happened with the implementation of the Agreement.

Miller will focus on the process of public participation, transparency in governmental dealings, and twoagreement stipulations that have not been implemented the site stewardship program and the interpre-tive plan as well as her media experiences with the New York Times, Irish Public Radio, London Financial

Times and others.Please join Dr. Miller as she explains how YOU can help preserve one of the natural and archaeologicalWonders of the World located in your own back yard.

ing, Bjarnson has many ideas to help increase community and

unity at USU Eastern. Although he has many ideas, he wantsthe students opinions. He explains, I need a think t ank. So

if anyone has any ideas of how we can better accomplish

something or anything new that they want, please run it by

me, Wyntre Pierce or Arsene Mugisha, so we can all worktogether. Lets make this school an environment that is abso-

lutely fantastic and where everyone has a say.

It will be offered in three blocks: SFO(special functions ofcer), BCO (basic cor-rections ofcer) and LEO (law enforcement

ofcer). The SFO and BCO blocks areseven-week programs each. LEO trainingis more intense and will be 13 weeks long.All classes will be offered ve nights per

week, four to ve hours, with two Saturdaytrainings.

The program offers six classes in the

SFO section, six in the BCO and sevenin the LEO. Because the POST academyis offered at USU Eastern, students willbe working for a degree and can qualifyfor nancial aid to pay tuition. They will

also be counted in the full-time equivalentstudent count.

Were gearing the program for peoplewho need to work during the day and takeevening classes, Henrie said. Our instruc-tors will be certied POST instructors likeJason Marshall, one of our adjunct facultywho works for the Utah Highway Patrol;

he is certied to teach rearms, alcoholenforcement and radar.

POST inspectors have already given thethumbs up during our on-site inspection,Henrie said. They believe we offer great

facilities with our classrooms, exerciseareas, and especially, the rearms facil-ity at the North Springs Shooting Range.One of the WETC buildings at the mouthof Indian Canyon will also be used for abuilding search class.

Our campus has been used for POSTin-service training for years. Each policeofcer must complete 40 hours of train ingeach year so this entire pre- and post-service for police ofcers should prove to

be worthwhile.Henrie met with the state-wide POST

board the end of March as the nal piece

of the puzzle to begin the program fall se-

mester. He will spend the next ve monthsmarketing the program to achieve his goalof between 15 and 25 students in each of

the three blocks.If a student is interested in the program,there is a application process the must gothrough. They must take a national peaceofcers selection test. This is a generalaptitude test with a lot of students strug-gling in math if they have not had a recentmath class. They can take the math test asmuch as possible until they pass it, Henrieexplained.

They also have to pass a physical testwith four components: vertical jump, situps, push ups and a 1.5 mile run. Henrie isin the process of purchasing an instrumentthat measures a persons vertical jump.

After a student completes any POSTprogram, they have one year to obtainemployment in any law enforcement eldbefore they lose their ability to be certied.

Criminal justice has been a popular

program on the USU Eastern campus.Three sections of 1010 (introduction tocriminal justice) were offered with 220students registered from throughout Utahfall semester 2013. Henrie said there are60-criminal-justice-emphasis students oncampus presently. With our successfulcriminal justice program, graduates cancontinue their education at the POST acad-emy on campus.

The annual summer law enforcementspecialty courses will continue with Henrieand Richard Walton, Ed.D., directing theprogram. Our hope is to increase our en-rollment so we build a specialized criminal

justice school where national experts arebrought in to offer advanced crime sceneinvestigation.

Our eventual goal is to have USUEastern be the training center for law

enforcement in Eastern Utah, he said.

Two of the subjects were cooperative

and said that one of them owned the pipeand the other owned the marijuana. Both

admitted to smoking marijuana from theglass pipe earlier in the night while on

campus and both said that the other subjecthad nothing to do with the marijuana or

the pipe and that he was actually a goodkid who they pressured into drinking.

The subjects were asked to sit on a benchas their balance was poor. One of the

subjects laid on the ground after almostfalling over twice.

Ofcers also located three large bottles

of rum that were partially full and twoempty bottles of vodka. When asked howthey got into the shop, one of the subjects

said that earlier in the day during class heput a wedge in the door so it wouldnt lock

allowing them to return later on that night.The three then went to their residence off

campus and started consuming alcoholanother friend had purchased for them.

This is when they made the pact to makea bad decision, and once you shake hands,

you have to follow through with it.All three subjects agreed to submit to a

portable intoxilyzer test and all blew over

a .100 BrAC. Due to the totality of the

circumstances including all three beingintoxicated and a danger to t hemselves if

left alone, with two admitting to posses-

sion of marijuana and paraphernalia and

all three subjects trespassing on campusafter hours inside the auto shop area,

all three were booked into the CarbonCounty Jail.

Subject one was booked on the chargesof intoxication, possession of marijuana

in a drug-free zone, possession of para-phernalia in a drug-free zone and criminal

trespass for being inside the auto shopunlawfully after school hours.

Subject two was also booked on in-toxication, possession of marijuana in a

drug-free zone, possession of parapher-

nalia in a drug-free zone and criminaltrespass for being inside the auto shopunlawfully after school hours.

Subject three was booked on thecharges of intoxication and criminal

trespass for being inside the auto shopunlawfully after school hours.

All th ree subjects cooperated as muchas they could and as intoxicated as they

were, they made it clear their instructorhad no idea they were inside the shop.

Subjects one and two will need to appearbefore the Seventh District Court Judge

of Carbon County as their charges includea class-A misdemeanor: possession in a

drug-free zone. Subject three will appearbefore the Carbon County Justice Court

on his misdemeanor charges.

USU Eastern will visit a Latinos inAction class in Hunter High School promot-

ing the institutions mission of a regional,but university-afliated education and

engaging their identities as youth that areleaders within their communities on April

14. Agustin Diaz, USU Eastern recruiter,attend this class with an ambassador f rom

the same institution as well as volunteers toprovide a more community-rich experience.

The USU Eastern presentation includesa powerful experience where students ex-

change stories with each other in the hopethat a consistent and engaged educational

narrative gets produced. In this process, col-lege students become role models to youth

who have faced challenges in urban areas.What we hope to create is a pipeline

where young people in urban locations canposition themselves in higher education.

This creates hope. This creates motivationto achieve that hope, said Diaz.

This visit provides great representationof the merging state and regional interests.

As the focus of specic regions becomes

priority for achieving the state 2020 goal

of 60 percent of adults educated, USUEastern demonstrates authentic and earnest

outreach that seeks to work with a popula-tion that many institutions often ignore.

The Hispanic high school graduation

rate in Utah indicates a slow climb past 50

percent, with the population growing. Notenough is being done to accelerate educa-

tional outreach with this g roup. Many areasstill face severe challenges with poverty

and adjusting to local development withimmigrant populations, Diaz said

This visit will become the rst of many

as USU Eastern sets goals and plans to

meet the urgent need of reaching out andproviding educational opportunities for

low-income and minority populations. Thegoal is to create an experience for state-

Latino youth, like in Latinos in Action atHunter High School that not only shares

college information but engages them withopportunity and through shared stories.

Directing his rst play at

USU Eastern, Mouse-

trap is not as daunting as

it sounds. Wade Arave, enrollmentservices adm issions adviser, spent

almost his entire educational back-

ground in theatre with eight years

of college majoring in theatre. Thepast two years working at Eastern

has given him a reprieve from theworld of theatre up until now, that is.

Arave is in full theatrical modethis month as he readies his actors

for opening night on Thursday,April 10. After working three years

at Canyon View Middle School andCanyon View High School in Cedar

City with teenagers, he is work-

ing with college theatre majors at

Eastern whose actors have direc-

tion, their state of mind is dif ferent

because they are on stage to becomebetter at their craft.

At rst Arave was apprehensiveabout getting back into theatre.

He was living in his comfort zoneworking at recruiting students to

USU Eastern. However, up untilthe summer of 2012, he had spent

pretty much his entire adult lifeworking in the trade. His magical

comfort ball was broken afterhis rst night of rehearsals on the

Geary Theatre stage. Being back in

theatre is like riding a bike, younever forget how.

Directing plays is taxing on a

lot of levels: physical and mental,he said. I am always thinking

about the artistic process and howto make it bet ter, more believable.

He started planning to produce

Mousetrap last summer when hecollaborated with USU Eastern

theatre chair, Corey Ewan, whileon a recruiting trip to Nebraska.

We pretty much planned the nexttwo years of plays, Arave said.

Why did he pick Mousetrap?If you work at a professional

theatre, you have to produce playsthat make moneyplays that most

people are familiar with; musicalsand murder-mysteries come to

mind. At USU Eastern, the goalis double sided, we have to think

about how directors can push actorsinto different directions plus please

the audiences with a recognizablename of a play, he said.

We like our audiences to en-

joy the show, make them family

friendly which is important to ourUtah audiences, he said.

Most everyone knows AgathaChristies Mousetrap and we

want everyone to come see ouradaptation of the play. Its been

running for over 60 years and isconsidered the worlds longest-

running stage play.The original play opened in the

West End of London in 1952 and isknown for its twist ending where

the murderers identity is divulged

near the end of the play, which isunusual for playing with the verybasis of the traditional whodunit

formula.Arave made his rst act incred-

ibly funny, I think Agatha Chr istiewrote it that way. I want the atmo-

sphere light, then change into the

real world where ones fears arecoming true.

His eight actors are in three-hour rehearsals, six days a week.I think they are adapting well to

my style of directing, he said.They include: Lesly Gaona-Partida

playing Mollie; Joshua-DavidZelasko, Giles; McKylin Rowe,

Christopher; Annie Zelasko, Mrs.Boyle; Josh Bone, Major Metcalf;

Libby Petereit, Miss Casewell;Julian Barone Fowler, Paravincini;

Ryan Pettingill, Trotter; and AaronBone, male characters understudy.

Brent Innes designed the lightingand sound; Zelasko the stage; and

Ewan, the set dressing; and LisaGiacoletto, costume design.

Mousetrap plays two week-

ends, April 10-12 and 17-19 at 7:30p.m. in the Geary Theatre. USU

Eastern student admission is $1.

Its free money now, itseasy to get, but it adds up.

This is the warning that KimBooth, director of nancial

aid and scholarships givesto any student considering a

student loan.He would encourage any-

one to nd other means to payfor school. If you can make

it through without incurringdebt that youre going to have

to pay back later then I woulddo whatever I could to help

you with that.In some situations, we

have people literally living

off their nancial aid. I alwaystell students you know I wouldreally like you to embrace this

term, and that is poor collegestudent.

We all know that beforecollege, a lot of expenses were

taken care of by our parents.For example, we didnt need

to worry about buying a rollof toilet paper or toothpaste.

Those were the necessitiessome of us took for granted.

Upon arrival at USU Easternthere may have been a sub-

stantial transition into thereal world.

While adjusting to thesenew responsibilities we take

on as adults we should giveheed to Booths advice. Em-

brace the term poor collegestudent.

How then, does a studentstay out of debt? There are a lot

of different options the schooloffers, such as scholarships:

academic and departmental,state grants, Pell grants, and

payment plans.How to apply for scholar-

ships: USU Eastern offersscholarships for freshman to

transfer students. On the usu.

edu website, click apply, thenunderneath scholarships there

are many different options.Click on the one that ts you.

How to appeal scholar-

ships: for those students who

did not uphold the require-

ments for their scholarship last

semester, there is still a chanceyou can write an appeal and

keep it for next year. On theusu.edu website, go to Apply

> Scholarships > ScholarshipAppeals. From there, print out

the form and bring it lled outto the nancial aid ofce. The

deadline is May 1.Payment plans: get an early

start on payment plans andyou are eligible to divide your

tuition into four, more man-

ageable payments across four

months. There is no interestaccrued and the fee is $50. You

can set these u online. Just lo

into the TouchNet sytem andclick on the payment plan tab.

From there go to registrationand payment plans.

Financial aid: go to fafsa.ed.gov and have your tax

information ready, as wellas your parents/responsible

guardians. The service isfree. There is no deadline for

FAFSA.After all these options are

exhausted, Booth says Takethe least amount of loan debt

that you need. He is seri-

ous. Dont take student loans

lightly. He goes on to say,People literally leave here

with $25-30,000 of debt andan associates degree.

Embracing the term poorcollege student may not be

glamorous, but thats whatcollege is all about. Bring on

April 3, 2014 page 5

Harley Earl crowned Miss USU Eastern

America continues to be the

worlds largest economy and boasts

the lion share of global billionaires.

In fact, there were reportedly 442

billionaires in America in 2012

the nationality majority of the record

1,426 people who have earned

this laudable distinction around

the world. When considering the

staggering success only an elite

few attain in business, it begs the

question what do these billionaires

know that the rest of us dont? And,

as importantly, how can we avoid

failure as we aspire to achieve career

success of any measure?

To achieve a notable amount of

success at anything and certainly

a notable measure of wealth, you

must become a specialist at what

you do. And, you must do what you

do better than anyone else, notes

international business mogul Paul

LeJoy, who himself has built a 50

million dollar real estate business

in just 7 years after immigrating

to America. You must become

indispensablethe go-to person

because your results are superior. In

working towards this objective it is

important employ a specic com-bination of essential elements that,

combined, will make you a force to

be reckoned with.

With this in mind, LeJoy offers

the achievement-minded these 8

wealth strategies to assist the prover-

bial 99% in their quest for success

in any industry:

1) Vision: Every successful

person at some point in their lives

had a vision for what could be,

and set out in relentless pursuit of

their dream. From Thomas Edison

to Steve Jobs and countless success

stories in between, visionaries are

lled with a passion and purpose

that drives them every day. Those

who are short-sighted and unmind-

ful of future consequences of their

efforts, both the good and the bad,

are more likely to fail than those

who are thoughtful and perceptive

in their approach.

2) Action: Have a vision or

a goal? The rst step is to write

down along with objectives and

action steps related thereto. Now

youve taken initiative, which is

the critical rst step to achieving

success. Post it your vision state-

ment in your bedroom, bathroom,

and ofce. Share it with others.

And, be sure to follow your action

steps. By taking these minor steps,

you make yourself accountable and

become the master of your destiny.

Take quantum action and you will

surely have a breakthrough. Or, nd

contentment with the status quo and,

well, remain there.

3) Passion: You may have the

vision. You may write it down. Youmay have shared it with others, but

without passion, that vision will

likely wither. Passion for what you

seek to accomplish should be almost

palpable to the extent that others

can see and feel your drive. The

key is to match your vision with

something you can be truly pas-

sionate about. Something that will

keep you engaged every moment of

every work day to bring you one step

closer to the measure of success that

you personally desire. Or, approach

your job with a lackluster attitude

and suffer the inevitable ominous

consequences.

4)Discipline:Many have vision

and passion, but lack the self-disci-

pline required to stay the course. The

pain of living a life of discipline is

less than the pain of regret for what

could have been if. Those who

are self-disciplined motivate them

self to continue with their action

steps and persevere amid adversity,

asserting sheer willpower over their

more base desires and instincts

to give up or turn attentions to

something more enjoyable in the

moment. This requisite self-control

will channel emotions, behavior, and

desires toward obtaining the reward

of success and, as importantly, to

avoid the punishment of failure.

5)Determination:You have the

vision and you take action to write

it down. You may even embellish

that vision with passion and be

quite disciplined in your approach.

However, without the will to endure

you may not get too far. Life and

work can be hard and even cruel.Remember, the race is not for the

swift but rather those who persevere.

Rather than allowing doubt to seep

in and poison the process, you owe

it to yourself to remain condent in

your vision and your methodologies

to get you there. Sure, you can

adapt as needed along the way,

but always knowthat success will

ultimately be yours.

6)Support:No one is an island

and theres strength in numbers.

A mastermind group, coach or

mentor is an excellent way to get

motivated. Meeting regularly can

be a great boost to your morale

and provide new perspectives

on your approach. The Internet

makes it extraordinarily easy to

nd a coach or mentor and join a

mastermind group that can help

propel your vision to new heights

and facilitate invaluable networking

opportunities.

7) Integrity:While it sounds

clich, honesty is indeed the best

policy in business. Integrity is of

paramount importance for those

seeking to nd and sustain long-term

success. True success comes when

you are a person of your word, when

you have a pure conscience, and

when you have not cheated others

on your way to the top. Dishonesty

has a tendency to sneak back up

on you causing far more problems

than the risk was work taking in the

rst place.

8) Humility: Humility, like

patience, hard work and integrity, is

a virtue. So, when you nally reach

your destination of success, whenyour vision becomes a reality, do not

forget your humble beginnings and

all those who helped you to get to

the top of the hill. Extend an attitude

of gratitude and thankfulness. There

is no such a thing as a self-made

millionaire. People get there because

others helped them get there.

Eight essential elements for success

GEOLOGY FIELD TRIP

USU Eastern Geology class visits two-billion-year-old rocksTwenty Geology 3200 students attended a day-long eld trip to Antelope Island on March 22 with theirinstruc tor Michelle Fleck, Ph.D. They went there to see some of the oldest rocks in the state of Utah --- a two-billion-year-old gneiss.

Miss USU Eastern winners: 2nd attendant and Miss Congeniality Bonnie Blackburn: Centerville, Miss USU Eastern HarleyEarl: Corinna, and 1st attendant Samantha Jones.

Emeritus associate professor of archeol-

ogy, Pam Miller, is set to present an update

on the Nine-Mile Canyon preservation

ongoing efforts on Thursday, April 17, at 7

p.m. in the USU Eastern Prehistoric Museum

second-oor classroom.

Dr. Miller has spent a great part of her

life documenting Nine-Mile Canyon, a

40-mile-long canyon that is often referred

to as the worlds longest art gallery and is

located southeast of Price. It is known for

its extensiverock art, most of it created by

theFremont cultureand theUtepeople.

The rock art, shelters andgranariesleft

behind by the Fremont make Nine-Mile

Canyon a world-renowned site forarchaeolo-

gistsand tourists.

By drawing attention to the continued

preservation efforts needed in Nine-Mile

Canyon, Miller acknowledges that this can-

yon is one of the most important prehistoric

and archaic archaeological preservationefforts in North America.

At her lecture, she wil l discuss the 2010

Tavaputs Plateau Programmatic Agree-

ment, which was the result of a compromise

between natural gas development and

preservation activities. This agreement

came about after an inux of industrial

truck trafc since 2002 produced a large

amount of fugitive dust by the trucks pas-

sage and may damage the rock art. Public

debate is ongoing about how best to balance

energy development in the canyon against

the preservation of its cultural resources

Miller will report on what the end was

supposed to be, what the Nine-Mile Can-

yon Coalition saw as the beginning, and

what has subsequently happened with the

implementation of the agreement.

By focusing on the process of public

participation, transparency in governmental

dealings and two agreement stipulations that

have not been implemented,

Miller will discuss the

site stewardship pro-

gram and the interpre-

tive plan as well as her

media experiences with

the New York Times,

Irish Public Radio, Lon-

don Financial Times and

others.

The lecture is free

and open to the pub-

lic, you are encour-

aged to attend.

Six of USU Easterns best and brightest

young women displayed their talents as they

competed for the title of Miss USU Eastern.

The contestants were Harley Earl, who wascrowned Miss USU Eastern, Samantha Jones,

who was awarded rst runner up, Bonnie

Blackburn, who was awarded second runner

up and Miss Congeniality, Caitlin Hensley,

Madison Woodward, and Morgan Verdi.

All of the participants were competing in

their rst pageant ever and performed with

great skill.

Shala Osborne put the pageant together

with the help of Terry Johnson, ESA, the

SUN Center volunteers and many community

sponsors. Miss USU Eastern is awarded a

scholarship and will serve with the recruit-

ment department to be the face of USU

Eastern. Earl is looking forward to this new

opportunity and hopes to continue service

in leadership positions next year.

Because this pageant was afliated with

The Miss Utah Pageant, the winner automati-

cally earns a spot to compete for the title of

Miss Utah. Earl is working 10-20 hours a

week to prepare for the upcoming Pageant

held on June 16-21, 2014. The Miss Utah

Pageant is different from the Miss USU

Eastern pageant. Not only is it larger, with

48 contestants, there is also more paperwork,

meetings, technicalities and higher expecta-

tions of all competing.

Earl doesnt think of herself as the typi-

cal pageant girl type and she never thought

she would be competing in The Miss Utah

Pageant. I was really overwhelmed at rst,

but now Im excited. One of Earls main

focuses is building her wardrobe for the event.

Each contestant must have several outts,and it is important to choose apparel that is

attering and shows the unique personality

of each competitor.

Earls platform is to create a healthy

generation of children by promoting an ac-

tive lifestyle through involvement in sports.

Earl has always been involved in sports and

is passionate about the positive role they have

had in her life. She believes that encourag-

ing youth to play sports will not only help

them live a healthy lifestyle but teach them

how to work as a team and build meaningful

friendships.

Although she does not have much experi-

ence competing in pageants, Earl believes that

her personality, condence, physical tness

and passion for her platform will set her apart

from other contestants. She says this experi-

ence has taught her how important personality

is and strengthened her public speaking and

communication skills.

Earl is excited to compete in The Miss

Utah Pageant because she knows she will

make many new friends and learn from the

experience. She says If I am going to be

there and have this opportunity, Im going to

work my hardest and make t he most of it.

increasingly difcult, as the

primary route of construction

vehicles will be on 400 North.

Campus will endure lots of

noise, especially during the

foundation laying. Jacobsen

Construction hopes to keep

noise and debris to a minimum.

Many departments are ask-

ing what impact the construc-

tion of the CIB will have on them

during this next academic year.

For the most part, any classes

and ofces occupying the SACand Brown Music Building, will

be moving to the CIB upon its

completion.

Unfortunately, cosmetol-

ogy, testing center and Upward

Bound plus Gear Up programs

need to nd new homes on

campus, given that such spaces

dedicated to those courses will

not be in the CIB. Plenty of

alternatives exist however, and

in no way does this threaten the

programs themselves.

The SAC will be demolished

in Fall 2015, and replaced with a

grass quad. The music building

will be turned into a parking

lot, with a grass berm on its

outskirts to preserve campusbeauty. The completion date of

the CIB wi ll be August 2015,

Peterson said, just enough time

for the paint to dry and get in

and start teaching.

Although the 201314 basketball

season ended before the championship

round of the Scenic West Athletic Con-

ference for both the men and womens

basketball teams of USU Eastern, post-

season awards were garnered by members

of both teams. Awards included one

First-Team All-Conference player, three

Second-Team All-Conference and an

honorable mention.

Kendahl Amerson sophomore,

No. 15

Amerson came to USU Eastern

from Detroit, Mich., and became a key

for the Golden Eagles basketball team.He was named SWAC First-Team All-

Conference. Averaging 17.5 points per

game, while maintaining a 44.7 eld goal

percentage, he connected 39.5 percent of

his shots from beyond the 3-point arc.

Amerson managed to grab 3.3 rebounds

per game while handing out 1.5 assists. He

ranked in the top-50 list of National JuniorCollege Athletic Association athletes on

3-point shots made connect ing on 81of his

212, giving him the 35thspot on the list.

He said, Making First Team means a lot

to me, it is a big goal to accomplish being

one of the best players in the conference.

Jaleni Neely sophomore, No. 10

Neely rst went to Highland Community

College where he played his freshman

year before becoming a member of the

Eagles. Coming from Chicago, Ill., Neely

was able to make a statement from the

point-guard position, which earned him

a spot on the All-Conference Second

Team. He averaged 14.2 points a game,

hitting 41.5 percent of his shots from the

eld. Neely ranked in the NJCAA top 50

in three categories. Ranking 33rd

in min-utes played, he recorded 892 minutes of

playing time, averaging 30.8 minutes per

game that slotted him in the 24thspot in

the national rankings. Neelys free-throw

percentage was another help to the Eagles

where he earned his third-top-50 rank-

ing, reaching 18thin the nation with free

throws made/attempted, hitting 173-212 ofhis tries from the charity stripe. It feels

good to go out on top, he said.

Bryanna Adams freshman,

No. 3

Adams came to USU Eastern and play

for the Lady Eagles after graduating from

American Fork High School in American

Fork, Utah. As part of head coach Dave

Paurs high-powered offense, Adams

became a driving force, reserving a spot

for herself on the All-Conference Second

Team. She averaged 12 points a game

for the Eagles, hitting 32.6 percent from

the eld and 32.2 percent from behind

the 3-point line. Not only was Adams a

scorer for the Lady Eagles, but crashed the

boards averaging just over four rebounds a

game. Adams made her way into the top-50 rankings as well with her three-point

prowess connecting on 59-183, which

grabbed her the 44thspot in the nation.

Teotonio Do sophomore, No. 44

Hailing from Angola, Do was a force

to be reckoned with on both the offensive

and defensive sides of the court. Although

he averaged 4.7 points and just under verebounds per game, Do had a eld-goal

percentage at just over 49 percent from

the eld. Not only was he able to grab

rebounds and provide rim-rattling dunks,

he averaged 1.7 blocks a game and got into

the heads of opponents many times forc-

ing them to alter their shots. Do ended up

ranked 45thin the nation with 52 blocks.

The accolades earned Do a spot on the

All-Conference Second Team.

Lerissa Quintana sophomore,

No. 24

Another foreign player for USU

Eastern earned post-season honors, this

time for the Lady Eagles. From Brazil,

Quintana averaged 10.8 points per game

while hitting just under 40 percent of her

shots. Quintana found herself consistentlyat the free-throw line where she hit 66.4

percent of her attempts from the charity

stripe. Rounding out the stat sheet, she

pulled in 2.5 rebounds per game and

handed out one assist per contest. All

of this earned Quintana an honorable

mention.

Most brackets have been busted due to

the plethora of upsets in the 2014 NCAA

tournament, but the Final Four does still

feature the No. 1 overall seed in March

Madness, the Florida Gators. After falling

short of the national seminals in Elite

Eight losses each of the past three seasons,

coach Billy Donovans senior-laden squad

has nally pushed through to the biggest

stage in the Big Dance. Florida will face a

tough Connecticut team that won the East

Region as a seventh seed.

Speaking of lower seeds that made

impressive runs, the Kentucky Wildcats

shocked the NCAA world. Seeded eighth

after an underwhelming regular season,

Kentucky thrived in the underdog role and

managed to make it out of the loaded Mid-

west. The Wildcats are tasked with taking

down the Wisconsin Badgers to keep their

stunning surge going.

Shabazz Napiers ability to be clutch

in big moments revealed itself early in the

season, when his buzzer-beater beat theGators in early December. It was one of

Floridas two losses as the 2013-14 campaign

progressed. But this is a different Gators

outt than the one that lost that game. A

perfect record through the SEC and an im-

pressive jaunt through the NCAA tourney

have Florida conrming its status as the

prohibitive favorite to win it all. On the other

hand, senior point guard Scottie Wilbekin

described how the early adversity the Gators

faced, including the loss to UConn, made

the dominance that followed even sweeter.

The Huskies have managed to grind

their way here thanks largely to the play of

Napier, who would be a strong candidate

for the tournaments most outstanding

player if Connecticut were able to run all

the way to the title.Its unlikely that Wilbekin or the rest

of Floridas quartet of seniors will let Na-

pier get free as often as he did in the rst

matchup. Now that chemistry has been

established and the Gators have settled

in to play elite defense, the task ahead of

Napier is going to be extremely difcult.

Credit the Huskies and coach Kevin

Ollie for making the most of his maiden

trip to the NCAA tournament.

Wisconsin is a feel-good story in that Bo

Ryan has nally gotten the program to the

Final Four in his 13th consecutive NCAA

tournament. The Badgers should be able

to slow the pace down and execute well

enough in the half-court offense to keep

this one close. However, these Wildcats look

borderline unbeatable and just beat threeof last years national seminalists in suc-

cession. An accelerated learning curve and

heightened stakes have taken Kentucky to

unexpected heights after its prior struggles,

which will allow it to advance to the nal in

a close game that comes down to the wire.

No longer can the Wildcats play as if

they have nothing to lose. They were the

preseason top-ranked team, so by reaching

the nal, they would be living up to their

expectations in a sense. Knocking off the

current top-ranked squad would solidify

their legacy as a truly great team, while

falling short would make them an enigma

in the history books and be considered a

disappointment.

The dynamics should be fascinating if

this title tilt occurs, but just as in the SEC -

nal, Florida wil l nd a way to gut it out despitethe way Kentucky has proved capable in its

most recent games to counter-punch in crunch

time.

Two former College of Eastern

Utah basketball players were honored

by Weber State University as inductees

as the 2014 WSU Athletic Hall of Fame.

Harold The Show Arceneaux and Ed-

die The Thrill Gill both received the

honor after helping lead the Wildcats

during the 1999 season where they won

the Big Sky Championship and knockedoff the University of North Carolina Tar

Heels during the rst round of the NCAA

Tournament.

Arceneaux

Arceneaux came to CEU in 1996

as a freshman where he helped lead the

Golden Eagles to a 28-5 record, winning

the Scenic West Conference during the

regular season. While at CEU, he shot

57.3 percent from the eld, 40.9 percent

from behind the three-point arc, helping

him average 17.3 points per game.

While a member of the Wildcats,

Arceneaux set the single-season record

for points for WSU scoring 713, which

would not be broken until Damian Lillard

in the 2011-12 season. He also earned the

Big Sky MVP honors, won the Big Skytitle leading to meeting between WSU

and UNC. Arceneaux scored 36 points in

the meeting with the Tar Heels, knocking

down ve three-pointers.

Arceneaux played basketball profes-

sionally in several leagues ranging from

the NBA Summer League to leagues all

over the world. He played for profes-

sional teams on every single continent,

except Antarctica. He started coaching

as a players coach for the Lechugueros

De Leon in Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico.

Gill

Gill came to CEU with A rceneaux,

during the 1996 season. While a Golden

Eagle he was averaged 6.1 points and 2.4

assists. Before the 1997-98 season, Gilltransferred to Salt Lake Community

College ending his career as a Golden

Eagle, but still earning NJCAA All-

American Honors.

After his year at SLCC, Gill met up

again with Arceneaux at WSU to cre-

ate what would become known as the

Thril l and the Show. As a Wildcat Gill

averaged 14 points, 4.6 assists and 2.7

steals. His stat sheet earned him First

Team All-Big Sky honors along with the

Big Sky Newcomer of the Year Award.

He was also named the Big Sky Tourna-

ment MVP, averaging 18.5 points, 7.5

assists and 3.5 steals in the two WSU

tournament wins.

Gill continued his basketball career

professionally in the NBA, playing for

seven seasons with seven teams. As a

professional, he appeared in 187 games,

the second most by any WSU player. Gill

was a part of two outstanding events in

the NBA during his career including be-

ing the player to score the eight millionth

point in the history of the NBA in April

2001 and as a member of the Indiana

Pacers, he was a part of the event that

would become known as The Malice

in the Palace between the Pacers and

the Detroit Pistons.

With soccer ofcially bil-

eted for the 2014-15 school

ear at USU Eastern the Golden

agles completed their search

or the rst head coach and

he search for players is nearly

ompleted.

Head coach Ammon Ben-

ett was hired in December

013, to start the new soccer

rogram, comprised of both

ens and womens teams. Ben-

where he helped lead the

Statesmen to success on both

teams.

He moved to Iowa Western

Community College helping

to start the soccer program for

the Reivers. Success was found

early and often for IWCC underBennett including four region

title wins, two district titles and

two appearances in the NJCAA

National Championship game

with the womens team. The

mens team brought home two

region titles and barely missed

winning the district champion-

ship games two times.

Bennett then moved to Iowa

Lakes Community College in

2011 where he helped guide

the womens team to a top-ten

ranking in the NJCAA where
