If there is a single name that new Chadron residents learn first, it’s probably “Con Marshall.”

“The name has become practically synonymous with Chadron,” reporter for the Chadron Record, Kerri Rempp, stated in a Jan. 5 article.

In recognition of the indelible mark he has made in contributions to the community in over 60 years as a resi-dent, The Chadron Record has named Marshall its 2010 Citizen of the Year.

“Con is one of those people that you want and hope will be on your team. He is an amazing person,” friends George and Emily Klein wrote to the Record, after learning Marshall was selected as the paper’s Citizen of the Year.

The couple worked with Marshall during Chadron’s 100th and 125th anni-versary celebrations. Marshall compiled history books for each occasion.

Marshall’s time in Chadron began af-ter his family relocated in the 1950s. He graduated from Chadron High School in 1959 and CSC in 1963.

The Student Senate met briefly Monday to welcome students back for the spring semester. Owing to weather and road conditions, many senators had not yet returned to campus.

Jennifer Weiss, vice presi-dent, called the meeting to order at 5:07 p.m. and noted that Dalton Nelsen, chief jus-tice, was absent.

Jacob Karmazin, president, called attention to the new painting work in the Student Center.

Karmazin gave recognition and applause for Sarah Kings-bury, senator of B.E.A.M.S.S., getting the job done.

Trevor Dietrich, student trustee, said he would be leaving next week to attend a Boarding meeting in Lincoln.

Dietrich said the board plans to discuss the potential

change in credit hours re-quired to graduate.

“A vote is planned, but there’s still a lot to discuss,” Dietrich said.

He also noted the impor-tant thing to relate to stu-dents is that any change will only affect incoming fresh-man.

Laure Sinn, coodinator of student activities, announced the debut of a new big screen TV in the Student Center.

Sinn said Monday night’s football game featuring the Oregon Ducks versus Au-burn Tigers was the first big event screened on the new TV.

Sinn also said a Freedom Walk is planned for Monday in celebration of Martin Lu-ther King Jr. Day.

The walk is set to begin at 10 a.m. outside of Common Cents, at Main and Third streets, then proceed south on Main Street, and end at the Student Center.

Continued from Page 1Marshall began his career

in journalism working on the staff of The Eagle news-paper from 1960 to 1963.

Marshall held positions as reporter and sports staffer through 1962, and Associate Editor, Produc-tion Editor, and Editor (in-Chief ) through 1963.

Following his gradua-tion from CSC, Marshall has worked at the college in various capacities since January 1969.

Thus, his professional re-lationship with the college has spanned the period of over 45 years.

Marshall said Tuesday of his feelings about the award, “I have thoroughly enjoyed my career at Chad-ron State College.”

He went on to say that serving as the information director for the college af-forded him many opportu-nities and that his goal in his writing was to create

stories that were “interest-ing and also stories that had validity.”

Marshall also said, “It pleases me the most that I helped select and have been pleased with the per-formance of those who suc-

ceeded me. Justin Haag and Alex Helmbrecht are tre-mendous young men and my greatest legacy.

“Both were also trained on The Eagle.”

In his current capac-ity as Information Services

Officer, Marshall is in the process of archiving college history, and creating mem-ory yearbooks.

In his spare time, he is also compiling personal scrapbooks of past clip-pings that he has written.

CAMPUS ACTIVITIES BOARD

The Campus Activities Board heard about an opportunity for greater pre-paredness for life after college and reports on the importance of accurately listing club contacts at its meeting Tuesday.

Vice President Kyle Klammer con-veined the meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday. President Christine Aye was absent.

Seth Hulquist, CAB sponsor, said he had a big exciting announcement about an opportunity for a visit and presen-tation by successful fashionista Olivia Weter of Rapid City, S.D.

Hulquist said Weter grew up in South Dakota but studied and worked in New York and Los Angeles.

Her presentation would include mo-tivational examples from her personal story of success as well as tips on career goals, how to dress for interviews, and et-tiquette.

Hulquist said that the tentative date for the presentation is late April, and he would like it to be a huge event with sponsorship from as many clubs as pos-sible so it could be opened up to area high schools and Job Corps.

Sinn highlighted the importance of be-ing prepared for job interviews, particu-larly in light of the continuing troubles in the national economy and job market.

“You only get one chance to make a first impression,” she said. “Interviewers will probably approve of or discount you within 30 seconds.”

Luke Wright, treasurer, said the balance in CAB’s account is $1,425. Wright noted that this amount is a carry-over from fall semester and the new budget would be al-located to the account soon.

Jamie Keller, secretary, passed out club contact sheets, stressing the importance of having accurate information on club executives and representatives.

Klammer requested that club represen-tatives seriously examine the information on the sheets, and not merely copy the names and numbers previously listed.

Laure Sinn, coordinator of student ac-tivities, said she will be hosting the first ever Uptown on Campus fair for the spring semester, 7 p.m. Jan. 26 in the Student Center lounge. The fair will also include space for any clubs or campus or-ganizations that wish to participate.

Sinn emphasized the opportunity this provides for clubs that started recently, or even clubs unconfirmed by Senate to feel out student interest.

“Of course we have a big thing in the fall, but this is a chance for new clubs and organizations to showcase their of-ferrings in a non-threatening way,” Sinn said.

Katrina Mundt, student events coor-dinator, reported on several sporting events’ dates and times, which can be found on the sports calendar on Page 7.

Mundt also announced a Club-themed dance, hosted by The Pit, planned for Jan. 20.

“The dance will feature a professional laser system, which dancers can “thump to,” Mundt said.

Klammer asked for questions before a motion to adjourn.

Tracy Reyes, Music Teachers National Association (MTNA) representative, asked for an update on the key fob sur-veys distributed last semester.

Wright said he would ask Ashley Max-on, Student Senate treasurer, and chair of the key fob committee to provide an update at the next CAB meeting.

Chadron’s annual activities to help commemorate Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday are set for Monday.

As part of the celebration, students, faculty, staff, and other community members are encouraged to participate in a march up Main Street as an opener to the events. The march will start at 10 a.m.

When the march is com-plete, participants are invited to the Student Center to hear excerpts from King’s speeches and for refreshments.

A vigil of glow sticks is set to conclude the day’s events at 7

p.m. Monday in the Student Center.

King’s main goal was to af-fect change peacefully.

King is most famous for his “I Have a Dream” speech, which he gave Aug. 28, 1963 to a quarter of a million pro-testors who participated in the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.

This protest was organized to help shape policy concern-ing civil rights for blacks, es-pecially those with poor labor conditions.

When he was 35, King received the Nobel Peace

Prize in 1964, making him the youngest recipient of the award at the time.

King was named Time Mag-azine’s Person of the Year in 1963.

James Earl Ray assassinated King on March 29, 1968, in Memphis, Tenn., at the Lor-raine Motel. Ray was

President Ronald Reagan signed Martin Luther King, Jr. Day as a federal holiday in 1983, and President George H.W. Bush proclaimed in 1992 that the holiday should be observed the third Monday of January.

Giffords recovering after shooting

Much went right medically for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) in the min-utes and hours after she was shot—but no one can be certain what the weeks, months and even years ahead will hold as she recovers from the devastating wound.

Giffords was shot along with 18 others, six of whom died, during a lo-cal meet and greet in Tucson, Ariz. A .9mm bullet went fully through the left side of her brain. Dr. Peter Rhee, the trauma physician caring for Giffords, said “she [is] still alive inside.”

Palin weighs in on Arizona shootings

Sarah Palin, 2008 vice presiden-

tial candidate turned reality TV star, weighed in on the tragic shootings Sat-urday in Arizona through a video posted to her Facebook page Wednesday.

Palin accused pundits and journal-ists of “blood libel” in their rush to blame heated political rhetoric for the shootings in Arizona.

“Acts of monstrous criminality stand on their own,” Palin said in the video.

“Especially within hours of a trag-edy unfolding, journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very ha-tred and violence that they purport to condemn. That is reprehensible.”

The term “blood libel” is generally used to mean the false accusation that Jews murder Christian children to use their blood in religious rituals.

The myth circulated for centuries to incite anti-Semitism and justify vio-lence against Jews.

Palin’s use of the phrase in her video,

made it rapidly go viral, but attracted criticism itself, particularly because Rep. Giffords is Jewish.

Nebraska Supreme Court hears appeal for Hotz conviction

The Nebraska Supreme Court heard oral arguments Thurs-day morning in a request for a new trial of Joseph Hotz.

Hotz was convicted in 2009 in Dawes County of second degree murder in the death of his roommate Kenneth Pfeiffer Jr., as well as attempted murder, terroristic threats, and three counts of use of a weapon to commit a felony.

During the original trial, Hotz’s attorneys, Dawes County public defender Paul Wess and Jeff Pickens of the Nebraska Commission on Public Advocacy argued that Hotz was rendered insane by ingesting psychedelic mushrooms, caus-ing him to become paranoid and believe Pfeiffer was trying to kill him.

District Court Judge Brian Silverman refused to allow the insanity defense on the basis that Hotz’s intoxication was voluntary. Silverman ordered the jury to determine a straight guilty or not guilty vote on each count.

Health fair planned for ThursdayThe 2011 Wellness for a Lifespan Health Fair is set for

3-7 p.m. Thursday in the Student Center.Shellie Johns, coordinator of conferencing, said 32

The fair is free and open to the public. Providers will be taking sign-ups for private screenings and laboratory test-ing. The fair is co-sponsored by CSC, Chadron Community Hospital and Health Services, and the Chadron Lifespan Wellness Team.

Johns said additional parties interested in reserving space may contact the CSC Conferencing Office at 432-6380.

Blood drive planned for FridayCSC’s Professional Staff Association is sponsoring

a blood drive from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Friday in the Student Center.

“There is always a need for blood and only volunteer donors can fulfill that need for patients in our com-munity,” Karen Pope, CSC professional staff association president, stated in a Jan. 6 e-mail.

MAN ON THE STREET

Is leadership a lost goal among students at Chadron State College?

Astonishingly few students out of the entire student body demonstrated their desire and enthusiasm at the recent election to serve in the capacity of student government repre-sentatives. Of the five who ran for office, four were already senators.

It appears that the majority of the college’s students are so complacent that they are not outwardly concerned with the student gov-erning body of their college. Yet, it is the opinion of the general public that the youth of the nation attend college to prepare to be the future leaders of society. If students lack the ambition and determination to assume responsibility and demonstrate the ability to make effective use of their training while still on familiar grounds, how will they be able to meet the important problems facing them in the outside world?

Leadership is a quality learned and acquired by doing —by active participation, not just something assumed or donned like a cloak at will. As a rule leadership and scholarship go hand in hand. Furthermore, leadership is not a mere process of dominating or captivating personalities; but a process of helping others discover their potentialities in achieving com-mon goals of intrinsic value. One does not become a leader by merely attending college.

Real leadership strives to build sound at-titudes and a concrete interest in developing a unified student body. To be the president implies assuming the burden of represent-ing conscientiously every student on campus through the working senate. No doubt it is helpful to know the students on campus; to strive to become acquainted with the prob-lems confronting them and to exemplify an interest in all college activities.

A speaker once said that all a genuine leader does is to combine human energies in such a way that creates a new and satisfying harmo-ny of efforts. Then why is there no incentive among this college’s students to aspire for the qualities of leadership?

Editor’s note: Other than minor modifica-tions, this editorial originally appeared in the May 8, 1962, issue of The Eagle newspaper.

The current editorial staff of The Eagle feel the words are still poignant today and that our campus would benefit from more students in leadership positions. Consider reaching out to others by joining Student Senate or The Eagle.

Students’ leadership aspirations are dormant at CSC

WWW.CSCEAGLE.COM THURSDAY, JAN. 13, 2011 5OPINION

Many Christians in America would have no trouble saying that Judaism, Islam, Hin-duism, and other faiths are not good forces for the world. The claim to an exclusive truth is a feature many of religions. But that consideration should equally be given to Christianity. A thinking person must be willing to answer this question, or at least listen to debates about it.

“Is Christianity Good for the World?” is a 2007 book and subsequent documentary about this very issue. In a series of debates, Pastor Douglas Wilson debates the question with journalist and renowned atheist Chris-topher Hitchens.

One can buy the book for $7 or buy the DVD for about $20. Alternatively, I prefer watching the debates on YouTube. Perhaps one of the best versions of these exchanges is the video titled “Christopher Hitchens vs. Douglas Wilson Debate at Westminster Theological Seminary” (see the URL at the end of this column).

Hitchens and Wilson are among the best in their fields. Hitchens is a long time jour-nalist, socialist-turned-neoconservative (he supports the war in Iraq), and prominent intellectual. Wilson is unique in many of the theological arguers in that he does not claim

that all monotheistic religions (or even all Christian denominations) are equal, and is not gullible when it comes to modern-day “miracles”.

When these two men collide, everyone can take something from it: devout ones can find something new to challenge/poke their faith (which must be done), those on the fence will definitely fall one way or the other, and non-believers can get a fresh in-terpretation on Christianity.

Wilson holds the whole of the Bible as 100 percent non-metaphoric inerrant truth. I can only chuckle at Wilson for his willing-ness to be uncompromising about what he believes, but at least he does not become loud or erratic. Nonetheless, I find many of his answers lacking or hollow (such as his indication that only his version of Christi-anity is true). Wilson is also significant in that he does not rely on the typical talking points; he is willing to argue the merits of his own faith, even if his determination makes him appear foolish in the light of counter-evidence. To this, I give Wilson the applause he deserves for his education as well as mastery of debate, but that’s about it.

Hitchens on the other hand is not what one would necessarily think of when pictur-ing the stereotypical anti-religious person. Hitchens builds up the position that be-cause religion demands absolute devotion to the demands of Heaven, as well as threats of eternal torture or eternal worship, it is thus authoritarian and anti-freewill. Hitch-ens is no defender of church-bombers, or

nations where religious sects are persecut-ed, as to him freedom of conscience must be protected. Hitchens freely admits that he doesn’t claim to know everything and that religion isn’t 100 percent disprovable (no more than it is 100 percent provable), but rather argues the moral weight of such doctrines and how it can compromise free inquiry and progress.

Perhaps the question concerning the mor-al quality, and therefore the entire merit, of the Galilean carpenter can best be summed up by none other than that famous Chris-tian apologist himself, C.S. Lewis:

“I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: ‘I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept His claim to be God.’ That is the one thing we must not say.

“A man who said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic -- on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg -- or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice.

“Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse… But let us not come with any pa-tronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher.”

Read the book, watch the DVD, or more likely watch the full debates on YouTube be-tween Wilson, Hitchens, Dinesh D’Souza, Richard Dawkins, and Sam Harris. After all, isn’t it arguments over that which many people hold dear that we find the most thrilling?

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Dear Readers:

Welcome back to another semester at Chad-ron State College.

Before we go any further, I would like to say a few words. And here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak! Thanks and apologies to Al-bus Dumbledore.

Let’s try that again, seriously this time: To my fellow students, welcome and welcome

back. To the community at large, thanks for keeping

Chadron interesting even when the town isn’t overrun with bustling student activity.

As I begin my tenure at the helm of The Eagle, I feel it’s a time for a broader-reaching sense of new beginnings than merely my name next to the editor title.

The Eagle’s staff and adviser look forward to continuing the journalistic tradition established by the newspaper’s founding in 1920. We also strive to update The Eagle to stay relevant to readers in the 21st century.

Accordingly, many of the changes to the newspaper’s design bring The Eagle up-to-date with current trends in the industry and reflect elements from our website, csceagle.com.

The Eagle has a long history of being an award-winning newspaper because of its dedi-cation to interacting with and representing stu-dents on this campus.

Whether it is reporting on student activities and sports, or providing a forum for commen-tary on campus, community, and national af-fairs, The Eagle exists to chronicle and enrich students’ experience at Chadron State College.

In recent months, we have received increas-ing criticism from the student body. The typical stance in journalism is that criticism from a few,

and silence from many means a publication is doing its job well.

I truly believe that despite the critics, The Ea-gle is doing its job, and doing it well. But there is always room for improvement. Allowing some-thing to stagnate at “good enough” is the road to mediocrity.

For that reason, I challenge anyone interested in being a leader in improving the student ex-perience on this campus to consider coming by The Eagle news room, Old Admin 235, and see-ing what this publication is all about.

Many hands make light work, and with a small staff, we cannot serve the needs of every contingency, or cover every event to the full ex-tent readers might wish us to.

With more volunteers, we would be able to of-fer a broader range of coverage.

Love writing or taking pictures, but blogging or posting to Facebook isn’t cutting it anymore? We’ve got an assignment waiting for you.

Consider the opportunities, weigh your ex-pectations, and have a great semester.

Sincerely, Kevin Oleksy

DOWNUP

- Black ice has covered sidewalks and streets, making both driving and walking hazardous.

- Negative degree weather and blustery winds have made walking to classes cold and leaves people frozen and numb.

- Being able to hear other people’s alarm clocks through the walls at 7 a.m. is unfair to those who don’t have class until 9:30 and want to sleep in.

- A winter storm made getting back to campus a little bit harder than usual.

- Classes started again, bringing with them new challenges and different learning experiences.

- Getting to see friends after three weeks of break was just one of the perks of returning to campus and starting another semester.

- Heaters in the halls work well by keeping the dorm rooms nice and toasty throughout the winter months.

- Hot chocolate is an excellent source of warming up the body even if just a little bit.

v Campus security everywhere - Jan. 15, 1971- A group of students ranging from freshmen to

seniors came together in order to keep the campus safe. Known as the Campus Security Force, they have the ability to arrest people on campus as much as the police department downtown. Dividing up 40 hours a week, they not only make sure windows and doors are locked, but also keep an eye out for trouble. Any student causing trouble and resists or becomes too difficult is eventually taken to city police court.

negative temps, a 4-game cold streak

The Chadron State men’s basketball team is in a 4-game losing streak after the 77-71 loss to the rival University of Kearney Lopers Saturday in Armstrong Gymnasium.

Eagle Jan Burris, senior for-ward of Los Angeles, scored the first three points of the game with an assist by Kevin McClelland, junior guard of Long Beach, Calif.

The score remained close, but the Eagles couldn’t pick-up more than a 2-point lead for the rest of the first half.

Each time the Eagles broke ahead, the Lopers responded and ended the half with a 4-point lead 33-29.

Five minutes into the second half, the Eagles gained the lead again with a 2-pointer from Sammy Hines, sophomore point guard of Detroit, Mich.

Ray Mitchell, junior forward of New Orleans, La., shot for two free throws that put the Eagles ahead by 3 points with a score of 50-47, but the Lopers picked up the lead and ran.

The biggest gap between the two rivals was 13 points in fa-vor of the Lopers with 8 min-utes to go.

The Eagles closed the point gap before time ran out and the Lopers were ahead by 6 points and won 77-71.

Mitchell scored the most points for the Eagles with 17 and scored 2 points every shot

he took in the second half.McClelland scored 15 points

for the Eagles and made seven of eight free-throws.

The Lopers were led by Max Froehlich, junior guard of Pierce, who scored 20 points and earned Loper of the week at UNK.

The team heads south Fri-day to New Mexico in hopes of warmer temperatures and scores. First to Las Vegas, to play the New Mexico High-lands University Cowboys and then to Silver City to face the Western New Mexico Univer-sity Mustangs.

The Chadron State women’s basketball team took the University of Nebraska-Kearney Lopers to the court last Satur-day in the Armstrong Gymnasium.

Kaitlin Petri, senior of Kearney, trans-ferred from UNK last season and was the Eagles’ special ingredient to beating the Lopers by 1 point in the last two sec-onds of the game when the Lopers came to Armstrong Gymnasium in the first matchup between rivals last season.

Petri was unable to help out her team-mates this season due to a lower leg in-jury. As of Jan. 1, she has been ruled out for the season.

The Lopers stole one from the Eagles by a final score of 79-64, as they domi-nated the paint and the boards and re-ceived a 23-point performance from their leading scorer Megan Baker.

The Eagles jumped out to an early lead in the opening minutes as Kelsey Scott, junior of Douglas, Wyo., sank a 3-point-er, giving the Eagles a 3-0 lead. However, the Lopers quickly took the lead after an early turnover and four of the next sev-en Kearney points were made by junior Vanessa Leeper.

The Lopers maintained the advantage throughout the remaining first period

entering halftime with a 20-point mar-gin of 37-17.

The Eagles came out strong in the sec-ond half, scoring 10 points in the first 5 minutes. They slowly chipped away points but could not close the remaining 10-point gap. In the last 4 minutes of the half, UNK racked up 16 points, widening the gap.

The Eagles fought back in the few final minutes, chipping away at the Lopers’ 15-point lead before time expired. The charge fell short, however, as the Lopers closed out the game with a final score of 79-64.

Kearney outscored Chadron 17-37 in the first half off of 14-24 shooting (58 FG%) for a game total of 55%. CSC post-ed 6-32 first-half shooting (19 FG%) for a final tally of 32%.

The Eagles were led in scoring by freshman Jazmyn Webster, of Cheyenne, Wyo., who scored 13 points. Three other Eagles joined Webster in double digits: sophomores Betsy Moler, sophomore guard of Rapid City, S.D., with 12 and Marla Munsen, sophomore guard of Hershey, with 11. Junior guard Kelsey Scott of Douglas, Wyo., added 10.

The Eagles, now 2-11 overall, travel this weekend to New Mexico Highlands and Western New Mexico to look for the team’s first RMAC win.

The New England Patriots have won four-teen games this season.

These fourteen wins have resulted in a bye week for the first round of playoffs for the team and the Patriots host the New York Jets at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass.

The Jets are the very team that traded lead-ing rusher, Danny Woodhead, former Chad-ron State College running back, to the Patri-ots after the first week of this season.

The two teams have faced twice this sea-son and the teams sit even, each with one

win and one loss.According to ESPN.com, Rex Ryan, head

coach of the New York Jets, finds this game personal and is ready to face the Patriots head coach, Bill Belichick.

When the Jets lost to the Patriots by 42-points on Dec. 6, Ryan admitted that he was out-coached.

Woodhead was the leading receiver for the Dec. 6 game with 104 yards of the team’s to-tal of 379 yards and ran 11 of the 547 yards.

This included a 50-yard pass and a 35-yard pass from quarterback Tom Brady.

This game was Woodhead’s first of receiv-ing over 100 yards.

Woodhead has 547 yards rushing for the season, and 349 yards receiving.

He has also scored 5 touchdowns for the Patriots.

Woodhead is in his third season of the NFL, and like his third season of college, he has obviously been successful.

While attending Chadron State, Wood-head earned both the 2006 and the 2007 Harlon Hill trophies as Division II Football Player of the Year for both years.

Also during these two years, Woodhead assisted his fellow Eagle team members in winning the first rounds of the Division II Playoffs, both years the team lost in the sec-ond rounds.

Now that Woodhead is a pro, he made it to the NFL playoffs and is the first player from CSC to be so successful since Don Beebe,

who went with the Buffalo Bills to the NFL playoffs in 1989. The Bills lost to the Cleve-land Browns 34-30 in the first round of play-offs.

Will the Eagles build a stadium in Wood-head’s honor? Or even have a golf tourna-ment named after him?

With Woodhead’s achievements in the NFL compared to Don Beebe’s, he is eligible for such honors at Chadron State College.

Woodhead is now a Patriot on the prowl for a Super Bowl ring, but New England will have to make it past the Jets for a second time this season.

The Patriots hold the best record for the entire NFL and Woodhead has done his part to get them to the 14-2 record.

Centennial Choir collaborates with retired members

On April 3, the community chorus will be doing a centennial concert. They will be joined by past members of commu-nity chorus.

The Centennial Choir will be singing songs from the years 1911 through 1920, in honor of CSC’s centennial celebra-tions.

The community choir is directed by Dr. Una Taylor, who is excited about the concert and the line-up she is planning, which so far includes pieces like “I’m Always Chasing Rainbows,” by Harry Carroll and Joseph McCarthy; “Ragtime Cowboy Joe,” by Maurice Abrahams; “Danny Boy,” by Frederic Weatherly; and “God Bless America,” by Irving Berlin.

The concert is open to former mem-bers of community choir, who will be joining with the current members to de-liver the concert.

A former Chadron State College student has returned to share his love of food.

Robert Johnston, a new addition to the CSC Dining Services staff, attended Chadron for three years, before dropping out and going to culinary school.

Johnston started at CSC with an excellent scholarship. However, he explained that when he started school he “…had no clue what [he] wanted.”

While taking classes at Chadron, Johnston got a job at the CSC cafeteria. The chef at the time was Roy Ferrans. Johnston explained that his love of cooking started while he was working in the caf-eteria.

“Roy showed me that food can be something else, something more.” Johnston was interested in food and how it meant something to everyone. While he was working in the cafeteria, he started realizing how intimate food was.

He enjoyed his job in the cafeteria so much that he began skipping classes.

“I felt my position over here was more impor-tant than going to class,” says Johnston.

After Johnston realized that he liked cooking so much more than regular classes, he dropped

out and looked into Culinary schools. He at-tended Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Institute in Scottsdale, A.Z. for two years, choosing Arizona because he had friends there. He graduated two years later with an Associate of Science degree in Culinary Arts.

Johnston worked a few years in Scottsdale at Olive Garden, although he said that he didn’t re-ally like the area. He decided to come back to Chadron, explaining that he “was so passionate for this place.” Originally from Hot Springs, S.D., he decided to come back to Chadron because it is close to home and family, and close to where his love for food began.

Johnston also said that he thought Chadron was the right place for him because the Dining Services were already familiar with him and his capabilities.

As for his favorite kind of food, he responds “I love all food. The more you understand food the more you appreciate it.”

Johnston explained that food is personal for everyone. His biggest influence is his mother, who cooked a lot of Old World German; howev-er, he explains that he enjoys trying any food be-cause food is something everyone can relate to.

Johnston also feels very strongly about getting more students to come to the cafeteria. He ex-plained that he wants to hear student feedback and get more students to enjoy the food at the cafeteria, and enjoy eating at the cafeteria.

He also added that he would like to do dem-onstrations of his cooking for CSC students. “I want to get the students involved,” Johnston said.

Stereotypes. I’m young, so I must be naïve. I dye my hair crazy colors, so I must be starving for attention. I get straight A’s, so I must have no social life.

These are just some of the many dif-ferent stereotypes people fall into. Ev-ery school has them no matter what age group, and, let’s face it, they’re going to stay until the end of time. People are put into a stereotype from the moment they walk through those school doors on their first day.

The classic 1985 flick “The Breakfast Club” is the epitome of clique movies. It came about long before “Not Another Teen Movie” and “Mean Girls.” Set in a small town in Illinois, this movie fol-lows the story of a brain, Brian, an ath-lete, Andrew, a basket-case, Allison, a princess, Claire, and a criminal, Bender. These five characters have to spend a full Saturday together in detention as a result of something each of them did.

Everyone can relate to this movie on some level, whether you fall into one of these stereotypes, or another stereo-type completely.

Everybody knows that different cliques don’t socialize in public, un-less you’re in a Disney Channel movie, right? Wrong. This movie breaks free from the status quo. It shows that even if people are categorized into different cliques, they could have similar inter-ests they never even knew about.

In “The Breakfast Club,” as every-body arrives at school for detention af-ter getting ripped new ones from their parents, they all sit at different desks

in the library, typical clique behavior. Their objective for the day? To write an essay of no less than 1000 words about who they think they are. As the princi-pal leaves, they start to do stereotypi-cal things: the basket-case chews her nails, the brain is attempting to work on the essay, the criminal sings a rock song badly and out of tune, the prin-cess starts complaining, and the ath-lete is threatening to beat the criminal to a pulp. As the movie goes on, they argue about everything from lunch, to clothes, to clubs. Throughout the day, the characters learn many different things about each other, including per-sonal things that they hadn’t even told their pals.

So what exactly does go on in a Satur-day detention from 7:06 a.m. to 3 p.m.? You’d have to watch the movie to figure out. The characters all have something they’re hiding, and that something comes out as the film progresses, taking the watcher deeper and deeper into the differences between the social cliques. It’s a real eye-opener when you discover the differences, and even surprising similarities between every single char-acter, despite stereotypes.

People are people, no matter what stereotype society classifies them into. Everybody has thoughts, feelings, opin-ions, and ideas about how they want their lives to turn out, despite the strug-gle that they have to go through to make it there. In their nine hours of threaten-ing and bickering, the characters in this movie will have you laughing, thinking about real stereotypes, and wondering what every character is going to take out of this experience to change their lives for the better.
