Year 44, No. 5 www.crusadernews.com 2012 November 19 Liberal, Kansas rusader Cami Stahly Crusader staff “The Clockwork Dragon” is a book about a legion of demons who inhabit a golden dragon and eagerly wait for someone to let them out. The book is written by Lynn Donovan, Pauline Creeden and Jennette Mbewe. Donovan is a student at Se- ward County Community Col- lege/Area Technical School. This painter and writer said she enjoys going to Seward. She started taking college courses after encouraging her sister, LeeAnn Bryan, to get out of the house and take class- es. Donovan has been working on novels since the beginning of the year. So far, Donovan has written three novel length mauscripts since January. She hopes to publish them soon. That’s how Donovan got connected to the Crystie group online. That is also how she met Pauline Creeden and Jen- nette Mhewe. Mhewe is another author like Donovan, and Creeden is the publisher who owns the pub- lishing company Altwit Press. Creeden put out invitations to the co-authors to write 5,000 words or less based on “The Clockwork Dragon.” The title of the book is de- rived from the fact that the dragon has gears like a clock, and one must turn a key to ac- tivate the mechanisms. The plot is based on the premise that once someone turns the key on the outside, the demon comes out and the person goes inside the dragon, locked inside forever. The Clockwork Dragon trav- els through different periods, luring people to open it. “As the third author and pub- lisher of ‘The Clockwork Drag- on,’ I see things from a little different angle. I did my best to make sure elements in the sto- ries agree enough with each other so that they each fit the theme,” Creeden said. Donovan told Creeden she would like to submit a story and ended up submitting four. One is a collaboration between Donovan and Mhewe. “ Pauline approached us, Jen- nette and I, in March,” Dono- van said. “We then started sub- mitting stories to Pauline in April. They were due by the end of September.” Donovan said she started sketching out a story and then put it away because she was working and taking care of four children. “It was in January. I picked writing back up and by June I had three full length manu- scripts drafted. In March and April, I had started writing short stories, because of Pauline,” Donovan said. Mbewe is the other link to help making this story. She along with Donovan, has written some books of her own. “I wrote ‘A Mermaid’s De- sire’ back in July, and ‘Lost at Sea’ in October, two weeks be- fore the release. That was un- nerving,” Mbewe said. “When the publisher put out a call for submissions back in spring, I actually wasn’t going to write anything at first. But then a month or so later the idea for ‘A Mermaid’s Desire’ came to me,” Mbewe said. “I asked the publisher what they thought, and they said go for it. ‘Lost at Sea’ was the same way, except I wanted to show how the Clockwork Dragon ended up at the bottom of the sea.” Mbewe collaborated with Donovan on “Bloody Fairy.” “It really is her brain child,” Mbewe said. “It was a great ex- perience to work together de- spite only doing so through emails.” Mbewe started writin seri- ously in 2003 and said she comitted almost every single newbie mistake there is to make. “Since then I’ve been rewrit- ing, editing, reading books, blogs, magazines on writing and the publishing industry.” There’s a myriad of ways to getting published, but in the end, someone has to write their best, keep on improving and tell a really good story, accord- ing to Mbewe. nContinued on page 2 SCCC student co-authors fantasy book The gears of the Clockwork Dragon Dawn Shouse Crusader staff Students in Free Enterprise, or SIFE, a program that helps uni- versity students create communi- ty projects, has changed its name to Enactus. According to Tona Rowett, Enactus vice-president of global branding, the word is a combina- tion of three words: Entrepre- neurial, action and us. “The old name spoke to the fact that we are students, howev- er we are now more than students and encompass a wide variety of people and organizations,” Rowett said. “We needed a name that encompassed our mission and many other types of things.” According to Rowett, the group is currently in 39 countries and the name,” speaks to a more global society of entrepreneurs.” Ana Hernandez, a senior man- agement and environmental stud- ies major and president of Ozarks’ Enactus chapter, ex- pressed optimism about the fu- ture of the long-standing organi- zation. “I believe what SIFE wanted to do is reaffirm their commitment to entrepreneurial action. An en- trepreneur is an individual that creates capital through innova- tion, creativity and risk. That’s what we did in SIFE, and what we’ll continue to do in Enactus,” Hernandez said. “Each year, all over the world, members of SIFE create over 1,000 new projects to creatively address needs in their communi- ties,” Hernandez added. “Entrepre- neurship is what SIFE is about, which is why the name change makes sense. It just refocuses the attention on entrepreneurial ac- tion.” The name is the only thing that has changed. The local chapter’s operations will remain the same.

“The Clockwork Dragon” isa book about a legion ofdemons who inhabit a goldendragon and eagerly wait forsomeone to let them out.
The book is written by LynnDonovan, Pauline Creeden andJennette Mbewe.
Donovan is a student at Se-ward County Community Col-lege/Area Technical School.
This painter and writer saidshe enjoys going to Seward.She started taking collegecourses after encouraging hersister, LeeAnn Bryan, to getout of the house and take class-es.
Donovan has been workingon novels since the beginningof the year. So far, Donovanhas written three novel lengthmauscripts since January. Shehopes to publish them soon.
That’s how Donovan gotconnected to the Crystie grouponline. That is also how shemet Pauline Creeden and Jen-nette Mhewe.
Mhewe is another author likeDonovan, and Creeden is thepublisher who owns the pub-lishing company Altwit Press.
Creeden put out invitationsto the co-authors to write 5,000words or less based on “TheClockwork Dragon.”
The title of the book is de-rived from the fact that thedragon has gears like a clock,and one must turn a key to ac-tivate the mechanisms.
The plot is based on thepremise that once someoneturns the key on the outside,the demon comes out and theperson goes inside the dragon,locked inside forever.
The Clockwork Dragon trav-els through different periods,luring people to open it.
“As the third author and pub-lisher of ‘The Clockwork Drag-on,’ I see things from a littledifferent angle. I did my best to
make sure elements in the sto-ries agree enough with eachother so that they each fit thetheme,” Creeden said.
Donovan told Creeden shewould like to submit a storyand ended up submitting four.One is a collaboration betweenDonovan and Mhewe.
“ Pauline approached us, Jen-nette and I, in March,” Dono-van said. “We then started sub-mitting stories to Pauline inApril. They were due by theend of September.”
Donovan said she startedsketching out a story and thenput it away because she wasworking and taking care of fourchildren.
“It was in January. I pickedwriting back up and by June Ihad three full length manu-scripts drafted. In March andApril, I had started writingshort stories, because ofPauline,” Donovan said.
Mbewe is the other link tohelp making this story.
She along with Donovan,has written some books of herown.
“I wrote ‘A Mermaid’s De-sire’ back in July, and ‘Lost atSea’ in October, two weeks be-fore the release. That was un-nerving,” Mbewe said.
“When the publisher put outa call for submissions back inspring, I actually wasn’t goingto write anything at first. Butthen a month or so later theidea for ‘A Mermaid’s Desire’came to me,” Mbewe said.
“I asked the publisher whatthey thought, and they said gofor it. ‘Lost at Sea’ was thesame way, except I wanted toshow how the ClockworkDragon ended up at the bottomof the sea.”
Mbewe collaborated withDonovan on “Bloody Fairy.”
“It really is her brain child,”Mbewe said. “It was a great ex-perience to work together de-spite only doing so throughemails.”
Mbewe started writin seri-ously in 2003 and said shecomitted almost every singlenewbie mistake there is tomake.
“Since then I’ve been rewrit-ing, editing, reading books,blogs, magazines on writingand the publishing industry.”
There’s a myriad of ways togetting published, but in theend, someone has to write theirbest, keep on improving andtell a really good story, accord-ing to Mbewe.

Book: Continued from page 1 This is more than just gram-
mar and punctuation. It’s alsolearning how to handle plots andcharacter arcs, point of views, de-scriptions, backstory, andthemes.
Then there’s the heart of it.How to turn prose, developing,and style, how to tell the story.
Publishing books is not aneasy task. It takes hours of edit-ing, formatting and preparationto get each of the little detailsright.
“I had worked with one graph-ic designer for the cover/frontcover of the book, and a seconddesigner for the paperbackspine/back copy.” Creeden said.
“In the marketing department,I had to find reviewers whowould give an honest, unbiasedopinion of the book and make ateaser book trailer to help publi-cize the project,” Creeden said.
Once someone is finished writ-ing a story, swapping critqueswith other writers, and polishingit up as best as they can is a goodidea.
Traditionally, a book authorwould send out queries to agentsand editors to see if they wouldbe interested in the person’sstory. If they were, they’d make
them an offer. However, due to the changing
of the industry and the rise ofelectronic books, some authorsare choosing to publish indepen-dently which means there areother steps writers must take topublish their books to the mar-ket, steps such as hiring a free-lance editor, a cover artist, plusbuilding a website and findingways to reach readers with theirstories.
“All of it boils down to lots ofresearch, earning the craft, the in-dustry, and making a decisionbased on your goals of a writer,”Mbewe said.
It’s highly recommended toread “Writing Fiction for Dum-mies” by Randy Ingermansonand Peter Economy.
Another good one is “The Artof War for Writers: Fiction Writ-ig Strategies, Tactics, and Exer-cises” by James Scott Bell,which helps writers mentallyprepare for the journey to publi-cation.
If anyone wants to purchasethis book, “The ClockworkDragon,” it is available online atAmazon.com as an ebook for 99cents. It will be available as pa-perback for $6 soon.

Students and faculty participat-ed in interviews with two candi-dates for a counselor position atSeward County CommunityCollege/Area Technical School.
The two finalists for the coun-seling position were selected bycollege administrators from agroup of five interviewees, andover the course of the last twoweeks, a group of students weregiven the opportunity to havelunch and talk to the finalists.
The SCCC/ATS counseling
position has been open for morethan a month. Nov. 1 and Nov. 8were the days the students hadlunch with the candidates.
Dean of Student Services Ce-leste Donovan and other facultymembers participated in separateinterviews on the same days stu-dents met with the candidates.
“It’s exciting having a newcounselor join us,” Donovansaid. Donovan also coordinatedwith the group of students whoasked questions, had lunch andinteracted with counselors.
The counseling position be-came open when Star Triscornia,
the previous counselor atSCCC/ATS, left earlier this se-mester. Some faculty membershave had to take on and aid withthe responsibilities that deal withcounseling.
“We have students who are hereright out of high school, studentswho are right out of the military,or are changing jobs, and that af-fects them,” college president Dr.Duane Dunn said.
Dunn met and talked to one ofthe candidates who came toSCCC/ATS to be interviewedNov. 8.
Five people were selected to be
interviewed, and two of the fivewere chosen to visit campus totalk the students and facultymembers.
“Seventy percent of our schoolis first generation, and we need tohave someone available to themwho can help them through anyproblems they face,” Dunn said.“I think students need someonethat they can go to and talk to.”
The new counselor is expectedto be selected within the next fewweeks, and will begin the posi-tion at the start of the spring se-mester.

If you are studying businessthen you may already knowMarcia Hatcher, but what youmay not know is how she start-ed in business.
“Do you really want to know?”Hatcher stated. “It’s embarrass-ing. When I was in college Istarted out as a music major, andthen I went into education. I did-n’t feel like it was a real good fitso I decided to major in business-because that is where all the goodlooking single guys were,”Hatcher said with a laugh. “OnceI got into business, I really en-joyed the marketing aspect of it.It was right down my alley, so Imajored in marketing.”
Hatcher graduated Universityof Northern Colorado with abachelor’s degree in business ed-ucation with an emphasis in mar-keting. She later earned herMaster’s of EducationAdministration from Fort HaysState University in 1995.
She didn’t use her teaching de-gree until she moved to Liberal.She has been teaching at SewardCounty Community College for25 years.
“Out of college I moved toLiberal to work in sales for mysister,” Hatcher said. She workedat Daniel’s Western Store, a re-tail-clothing store in Liberal. “Isold a lot of boots. I loved it. Ireally enjoyed selling western
clothes and tack,” Hatcher said.In 1976 she married Bill
Hatcher. She has two children,Will and Jessica.
After her children were inschool, Hatcher decided to use herteaching degree and started teach-ing a night class at SCCC/ATS.It took only seven months beforeshe was hired full-time.
“The man that had the market-ing position moved in the middleof the year and that left the posi-tion open,” Hatcher said.
Hatcher claims her favorite partabout her job is the students.
“I really like getting to knowthe students. I teach three onlineclasses too,” Hatcher said. “Ienjoy teaching it but you don’tget to know them one on onelike regular classes. I prefer per-sonal knowledge of the studentsto get to know them.”
Hatcher even ‘friends’ some ofher students on Facebook to bet-ter get to know them.
“I used to be the SIFE spon-sor, and that really got me closeto the students. I have a lot ofthose students that come backand see me once and a while. Ialso catch up with them onFacebook, too.”
Hatcher is no stranger when itcomes to new technology. Thispast year she pioneered and devel-oped a course for her on-lineintro to business class that iscompletely digital.
“The textbook and simulationsare digitally embedded in the
course.” Hatcher said, “I com-bined parts of three textbooks andput what I considered the bestpart of each of those textbooksinto the course.”
Hatcher had to read each text-book and discern what she likedabout each of those. She alsogathered computer simulations,videos and discussions to com-plete the course.
More recently she helped theCEO of eduKan in two presenta-tions on the course. One presen-tation was delivered online in awebinar for The Chronicle ofHigher Education, where shespoke to a group of 250 educa-tors from major learning institu-tions on the project and was verywell received.
“In today’s times technology ismoving real rapidly,” Hatchersaid. “It’s fun. I just got in twonew toys for the department, aNexus 7 and an iPad. This week-end I have to decide which onefits better in the classroom. I willsearch to find which apps tobring in and utilize.” Hatchersaid.
“It’s fun to be able to use thelatest technology to teach with.”
Hatcher said that former stu-dents occasionally surprise her.“They come here and I think tomyself then that they are so im-mature,” Hatcher said, “but thenthey go on to be very successfulbusiness men and women. It’ssurprising but it’s really neat tosee.”

OPINION4 CRUSADER Monday, November 19, 2012
I need an
external
hard drive.
Studying too much can turn your braininto blob of melting mush...
Today we live in a world whereFacebook is the center of collegestudents’ social lives, where textand instant messages connect al-most everyone, in this world itcan sometimes be hard to maketime for ourselves.
Although college is a timewhen people should come out oftheir shells and meet new people,it is sometimes necessary forstudents to find themselves andspend time alone.
Personally I would prefer aquiet evening alone, or with asmall group a friends, over a loudparty. Being an introvert doesn’tmean you are anti-social, it justmeans you’d rather spend timewith yourself or with peoplewho are very close to. Solitudeand peace sometimes make peo-ple a little better at whatever theyare doing.
If you don’t know what I’mtalking about than you probablyweren’t the kid in the back of theroom who was quiet and hardlyevery talked in school. Its notthat people like us are anti-so-cial, we just rather keep our ownthoughts and feelings to our-selves instead of blurting themout to the world.
If you are an introvert don’tfeel bad, there are countless perksto being quiet, listening and pa-tiently watching.
Relatively school is easy forpeople who listen carefully.Since we spend time alone ourthoughts have time to mature,some of the best and brightestminds in the world were peoplewho we would consider intro-verts.
When people spend time bythemselves they get to think anddo things that they want to do,thus those people begin to knowwho they are, what they are afraidoff, what ideas they have, whatgoals they have and other things.
You shouldn’t be ashamed ifyou would rather spend time byyourself than with other people.Personalities grow and are creat-ed by spending time alone.
Society is filled with peoplewho are extroverts and are spew-ing every minute of their liveson the social webs, it is nice tohave people who don’t want tobe in the limelight and wouldrather do their own thing.
But being alone doesn’t meanyou have to be confined to adorm room or house, if you don’tlike to be around people much,go out and do some activitiesthat you can enjoy by yourself orwith a close friend.
Don’t be a hermit who onlyleaves the cave that they reside inuntil they need something, alsotry to be open with other peoplejust like you are when you’realone.
In high school I had a fewclose friends who I could trust,but most of my free time wasspent alone and in peace. Collegeis no different from high school,but it is a little more hectic andtime consuming.
Just because a person is an in-trovert does not mean they can’thave strong social or leadershipskills. Confidence, charisma, ar-ticulation and image are not theonly things that matter the peo-ple who are quiet, the ones wholisten and have the most time tocraft ideas, make good leaders.
Typically because introvertedpeople don’t interact with otherpeople they tend to be careful andrespectful when they are aroundother people. There are somepeople who have sheltered them-selves too much from the world,and have caused themselves moreharm than good.
If you are an introvert in col-lege and are having a hard timetrying to make new close friendshere are a few tips to help; find ahobby you can share, join a clubor organization that you want tojoin or go to places where peoplewho like the same things as youhang out.
To those who say nay to allthis, when was the last time yousat down and thought about whoyou truly were, who you are in-side and not the person who oth-ers think you are. Solitude is adoor to self awareness, and toopen that door is to find innerpeace.
Student findspeace in solitude
Academic goals differfrom one to another
I have come to the conclusionthat I am not graduating thisMay. I am perfectly OK withthat. I chose to not take as manycredit hours as I should have.Why? For the simple fact that Idislike school.
I can’t handle it. It’s too muchfor me sometimes. Is that a badthing? Does that mean I’m a fail-ure compared to the rest of stu-dents that will graduate this up-coming spring? Lately that hasbeen my biggest fear. Being atotal failure at life. I mean, do Ihave to be at the same academiclevel as everyone else? I have de-cided that the answer is no.
Just because I will not gradu-ate in the spring does not meanthat I will never graduate. I amsimply choosing to take mytime and do everything at myown pace.
I also to work more hours toearn more money. That way Ihave some money saved up forwhen I decide to transfer to a uni-
versity. I can’t financially dependon my parents until I’m 22-25,the average age of a universitygraduate. What if I want to attenda university in a different state? Idon’t want to pay so muchmoney for out of state tuition.
So here is an idea of what Ithink would be an OK idea. Finda university I’d like to attend.More than likely it would be outof state. So I’d like to move tothat state and find a decent joband live there for the amount oftime it is required to be able to begranted tuition.
I’d be perfectly OK with takinga short break from school. I per-sonally think that doing things away that suits my lifestylewould just make me a happy per-son. Yes, it would be great to fin-ish a career quickly and just startthe life you dream of, but I’drather just take my time to besuccessful than to rush and crammyself into something that Iwill fail miserably at.
Everyone has a different pathto go through. I want to take thetime and enjoy the stroll throughmy path, not stress and drag my-self through it every single day.
During my time in college Ihave met people who are extraor-dinary, smart, mature, talentedand funny, but I have also metpeople who are easily offended,unrealistic and act like idiots atthe smallest things.
“Sex” is a word that is casual-ly thrown around by college stu-dents, yet there are people whocannot stand the word and think
that when a person talks aboutsex that they are referring to sex-ual intercourse even though ithas different meanings.
According to the Royal Eng-lish dictionary there are two waysto define sex; it is the definitionof being male or female, or inter-course between the two. I feelthat people who get offended atwords like “sex” or “Mexican”have the wrong the perspective ofthe words. Acting like an annoy-ing teen in college is wrong,judging people because of whatthey say will never get people tolike you.
College students know what
basic terms mean, and do not getoffended by words that are socommon even though they mayhave vulgar meanings.
Doing things to get attentionis not right; friends are made incollege by acting like who youare, not by getting attention.Prancing around and making acircus out of yourself will not getyou anywhere in college, unlessthe career path that you have cho-sen is theater or drama, no of-fense to those who are drama ortheater majors.
Don’t fake the innocence, al-though there are many peoplewho haven’t experienced what
When I chose to go to SewardCounty Community College Ididn’t actually plan on gettingmy associate degree. I figured Iwould go for two years, becausethat’s how long people go tocommunity college, to save
money on my general educationcourses. I was only really con-cerned with getting a four-yeardegree. My feelings changedwhen I chose my classes for theSpring 2013 semester. I noticedthat I could easily get my associ-ate of science if I just took oneextra class. If everything goesright, by the summer of 2013 Iwill have a college degree. It willbe the biggest accomplishmentof my life up to that point and I
didn’t even give it a lot ofthought until recently. It’s notthe most amazing thing in theworld, but it can help me get agood job while I’m at a four yearuniversity. And if somethinggoes wrong while going toschool, I will still have my goodold associates degree to lean backon until things get better.
None of this really occurred tome until I realized how close Iwas to it. I think that if I under-
stood earlier in my academic ca-reer how valuable an associatesdegree could be then I would haveput more focus on getting itdone. It’s upsetting to me that ifI didn’t think about it and didn’tchoose the right classes then Iwouldn’t have anything to showfor my two years at Seward. Ihighly advise that anyone whogoes to SCCC/ATS to get theirtwo year degree before movingon.

Prepare yourself, finals are comingOUR VIEW —
At the end of every semester,frantic college students sticktheir noses into books, pull all-nighters and splurge on coffee inan attempt to cram four monthsof information in a matter ofdays for finals.
Some find themselves tryingto decipher age-old notes orplead to their instructors forhelp, but why is it that no mat-ter how many semesters a stu-dent has been through that, thepattern repeats itself at every se-mester’s end?
Finals are a huge part of thecollege experience, and for manystudents probably the worst partof it. Confined to a couple ofhour, with a test that hasmonths’ worth of material in itcan seem rather terrifying, but itdoesn’t have to be that way.
Planning and prioritizing fi-nals can help students tremen-dously. For some classes, finalscan count for as little as 20 per-cent of your grade to as high as30 percent or more, knowingwhich finals are more importantis one of the first steps inpreparing for them, but regard-less of that students still have tostudy for them all.
Believing that everything thatwas taught in a semester can belearned with an all-nighter is afarce. In a research article pub-lished in the New York Times,scientists found that staying upfor more than 24 hours at a timeinhibits the mind the same waybeing drunk does.
If you are trying to only passthe final then it is possible tocram some of the material in a
night, but if you are trying tomaintain a high grade or pull aborderline grade over, then youneed to prepare now.
Some classes have finals thatstudents are limited to perform-ing or writing, and in most fi-nals, instructors typically allowstudents to know what the finalwill consist of.
There are finals that require lit-tle to no studying at all, butpreparation and looking overnotes are strongly recommended.
Do not focus on a single classor subject; many students findthat they did well on one finalbut failed their other finals. In-stead of studying for one courseall at once ,try to break up studysessions with different classesand material.
Also ask instructors whatscore is required to on the finalin order to keep or raise a grade.If a student knows that they willnot be able to pass the class byscoring well on the final examthere is still enough time todrop.
Begin studying early begin
studying now; Thanksgivingbreak is a perfect time to lookover notes and re-read chapters.Find a group that is studying forthe same class and set up timeswhen everyone can meet.
If you work better alone, finda spot where you can study inpeace with no distractions. Makeflash cards, have a peer teach thematerial or go online for help.There are many resources thatare available to students, but arenot being used.
Take a break; watch a movie,play video games, or just relax,but limit the time that is spenton study breaks. Coffee and en-ergy drinks are great for studyingand staying alert, but overusingthose in a short time causes“crashing” and can make yousick.
Do not procrastinate, somestudents find themselves ignor-ing all the advice that was givento them and wait until the lastminute to prepare for finalexams. Know when to stopstudying is also important, over-loading on unnecessary materialcan do more harm than good ona final.
Prepare and study. Studentswho are unprepared are often theones who are having to retakeclasses next semester, and won-dering why they did so badly ontheir exams.
Finals for evening classesbegin Dec. 3 and are during theirregular class times. Finals forday classes begin Dec. 10. Pre-pare yourself, they are coming.

One international player who fansshould watch for on the Lady Saintswomen’s basketball team this seasonis 6-foot-6-inch Marta Oledzka.
Oledzka is from Lapy, Poland, andis a sophomore who has played bas-ketball for seven years. Oledzka hasbeen in the United States since lastyear; she transferred from the NewMexico Junior College. Althoughthis is her second year, she is unde-cided on a major.
The 21-year old woman loves bas-ketball because, according to her, shesees the sport as a personal challengeto become better. Furthermore, shelikes that basketball is a team sport,yet every single person has an im-portant role on the team. Players arenot only responsible for themselvesbut also for the whole team.
Oledzka found her way to basket-ball by accident. A friend was play-ing basketball and persuaded her touse her beneficial tallness and also tostart playing, with successful re-sults.
Her strength is that she is a veryfriendly and open person with a pos-itive and ambitious attitude, but likeeverybody she also has weaknesses.Oledzka stated that she could im-prove her body language and becamemore aggressive on the court. Herpersonal goals for this season are toget to the national championships,and also become better as an individ-ual player.
Oledzka is enjoying her residencein the United States. According toOldezka, the Lady Saints team is likea family for her, the women supportand help each other. In addition, sheand her fellow teammates are ambi-tious and looking forward to this sea-son.
There are some more things thatshe likes about the United States,which is far away from her home
country. In her opinion, the people
in America are very open and friend-
ly, also they are direct and say what
they are thinking. She enjoys being
part of the athletics program at the
Seward County Community Col-
lege/Area Technical School. Al-
though there are things that she does
like in the U.S., Oledzka stated that
she doesn’t like the fast food and that
she always needs a car to get some-
where, at least in Liberal.
Like most international students
do at some point in their studies, she
sometimes misses her home coun-
try, especially her two nephews and
the homemade food. But she still has
contact with all her friends and fami-
ly members through Skype and
Facebook, because of the time differ-
ence she talks with her family most-
ly on weekends. She uses her limit-
ed amount of free time to get some
rest and to hang out with friends.
She enjoys reading books, maga-
zines and listening to some music.
Oledzka wants to graduate from
SCCC/ATS and transfer to a univer-
sity in the United States. After that
she has no plans on what she will
do, but she knows that she wants to
play basketball as long as she can
and continually become better.
One of her teammates and also a
very close friend, Ricquia Jones,
said, “Marta brings a good atmos-
phere to the team.”
The two laugh a lot together and
support each other. Jones added that
Marta is a very good friend and helps
her often to get up when she is
down.
Fans next chance to watch Oledz-
ka and the other Lady Saints basket-
ball players on the home basketball
court is at 6 p.m. Dec. 7 in the
Green House against Northeastern
College.

Lights, cameras, hair!? SevenSeward County CommunityCollege/Area Technical Schoolcosmetology students face off ina runway showdown, showingoff their hairstyle creations. It allbegins Nov.19 at 2 p.m. in roomSU214, which is located abovethe Student Union.
Students that want to experi-ence the show can also go out tothe school from 8 a.m. to noonon Nov. 19 to watch the studentswork on their hairstyles modelsbefore the runway finale.
“We’re not sure how it’s goingto turn out since this is the firstyear we are doing this, but werehoping it’s going to go well,”Sheila Schieb said. Schieb is thehead and an instructor at the Cos-metology School.
Each of the seven cosmetologystudents has a model that theywill display by cutting, coloring
and styling them for the runwayshow. The students all individu-ally have to show a presentation
as to how they transformed theirmodel’s hair and make-up.
The presentation will consist
of a procedure showing the

changed their models’ hair. The
models that the students stylized
will be displayed at the runway
finale.
All the students competing are
“cosmo four” students, which
means they are attending their
second semester of cosmetology
school. “It took us about a
month to gather everything we
wanted to do and get all the pic-
tures and stuff done,” says second
semester student Mayra Vasquez.
“We are divided up into cosmo
1, 2, 3, and 4, so this is right be-
fore they get out of school, and
the students that are in cosmo 4

ment,” Scheib said.

The Crusader scored na-tional success with two pres-tigious “Best of Show”awards at the National MediaConvention, Oct. 31- Nov. 4in Chicago.
The students from SewardCounty Community Col-lege/ Area Technical Schoolbrought home two prizes: afourth place award in the spe-cial edition category and asixth place award in the two-year broadsheet newspapercategory.
The special edition catego-ry is an open class competi-tion among all two-year andfour-year colleges in atten-dance at the show. The firstplace award in special edi-tions went to Auburn Uni-versity, with Florida AtlanticUniversity second. Sewardplaced fourth, and such com-petitors as the University ofNorth Carolina placed eighthand Indiana University 10th.
In the two-year broadsheetnewspaper category, the Cru-sader was sixth place aheadof North Idaho College; theLos Angeles Collegian tookfirst place.
“Winning a national awarddoesn’t seep in until you fi-nally get back home, and re-alize that our paper beatsome of the top schools inthe nation,” said Crusader ed-itor Jose Medrano. “We workhard because we love whatwe do, and it’s great that weare getting recognized for thework, time and late nights

Halo is back and it’s better than ever. If you know anything about Halo then youmight be a little skeptical about 343 Industries making Halo games now instead ofBungie Studios. Fear no more though because Halo 4 will blow you and your skep-ticism away. Halo 4 could quite possible be the best Halo game to ever be made.The story, the graphics, the cutscenes, the gameplay, the music, and the voiceacting are all astounding.
Halo 4 has deep, interesting, well-paced, and touching story. Themost surprising thing about Halo 4’s amazing campaign is that it’s not MasterChief’s story, it’s about Cortana and her struggle with being an outdatedArtificial Intelligence. Cortana has reached a point in her programming evo-lution where she is literally thinking herself into insanity. Chief and Cortanamust work together throughout the story to keep each other safe and helpeach other from going into insanity. This is where Halo 4’s touching andemotional story actually keeps you interested. You will find yourself car-ing about the characters and worrying what will happen to them.
The graphics of Halo 4 are absolutely beautiful. Everythingfrom the levels to the characters are detailed and designed extreme-ly well. The detail put into the character faces is astounding. TheChief’s armor has been upgraded as well with even more detail; itdoesn’t just have dings and scratches, but also has pieces thatbump and scrape against each other. The graphics are just ahuge enhancement for a Halo game and helps to drive the morepersonal and emotional story of the Chief and Cortana.
Multiplayer for Halo is back with some changes andrefinements from Halo Reach. Almost every weapon in Halohistory is back with all new looks and sounds. The newestweapon additions are the Promethean weapons, which willdisintegrate your targets in a beautiful orange flare. Themultiplayer mode has been renamed to “War Games” forvery interesting reasons that are more explained inSpartan Ops. Spartan Ops is basically a separate story from the
main campaign that puts more detail into the story be-hind the Halo universe. From the start of War Gamesplayers will create a load out consisting of perks,armor abilities and starting weapons. Every perk,armor ability and weapon is fine-tuned and bal-anced with the game so it’s unlikely that anyonewill gain an unfair advantage.
Overall, Halo 4 definitely delivers onbeing another great installment in the franchiseand with Halo 5 and 6 coming out on the nextgeneration consoles it can only get betterfrom here. If you are an Xbox 360 ownerthen I would highly recommend buying or atleast checking out Halo 4.

They come for the original and well written story and stay for the zombies andmultiplayer. Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 continues the story of its predecessor, butits not exactly where it left off. The campaign takes place primarily in the year2025, over 50 years after the events in the first Black Ops.Not all the events take place in 2025 though. A large portion of the game
takes place as a flashback that involve characters from the original BlackOps.In addition to a riveting story line there is also two more game modes:
multiplayer and zombies. Neither game types are new to Call of Duty, butjust like in the past, Black Ops 2 has been revamped and both multiplay-er and zombies have new features.Zombie mode is a game of survival. Four players are put in an in-
escapable area and must fight off increasingly difficult waves zombiesfor as long as possible. Points are acquired for killing zombies and setting up defenses and
those points can be used to buy new weapons and abilities to helpfight off zombies. Although every game ends with the player dying,it’s still extremely fun and exciting.New to the zombie game type is grief mode. This is almost ex-
actly the same as normal mode, except instead of four survivors,there are two tMultiplayer in Black Ops features most of the things one
would expect from a Call of Duty game. It has a variety ofgame modes that involve competitive gameplay, most ofwhich were present in past Call of Duty games. Black Ops2 features new guns, kill streaks and the new “pick ten”system for class customization. There are also a great deal of small changes made to
the game that, when put together, make the Black Ops2 multiplayer experience stand apart from past Call ofDuty titles. Exactly how all these changes will affect gameplay
is yet to be seen and if they’re good or bad is up tothe individual player.Black Ops 2 has already been released and can
be played on Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC.Happy gaming.
