Black History MontH scHolarsHip Breakfast

pHotos By: Mayela arellano


by ASHTON HALL Editor-In-Chief

The 5th Annual Black History Month Scholarship Brunch, held at the Texas Station, in the Dallas

Room on February 9th, was nothing short of heartening and emboldening. The prestigious event began at 10:30 a.m., beginning with welcoming remarks from Larry Mason, Chief Diversity Officer and Dr. Michael Richards, President of the College of Southern Nevada. Shortly after greetings and sentiments were made, Dr. Richards subtly encouraged us to partake in the mouth watering brunch which was located on either sides of the room.

Ample time was given for everyone to finish their meals and engage in polite conversation with one another. After the delectable meal, everyone found their way to their seats and awaited the upcoming speaker. George Wallace, Celebrity Entertainer and Comedian made his way up the steps on the side of the stage and took a short break halfway up. Not yet anywhere near the microphone and the audience was already laughing. Wallace spoke of the importance of Black History Month, yet still found a way to bring the audience to tears with laughter. The next

speaker up was none other than Dwight D. Jones, Superintendent of Clark County School District who shared with us his hopes for graduation rates and academic success for students in Nevada.

The CSN Black History Month Scholarship recipients were then recognized towards the end of

the program. Even though, most of the awardees were in class and not able to attend the event, they still of course received their scholarships. Many engage in the celebration of Black History

Month, but not all are aware of the accomplished man who is to thank for it. Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the father of Black History Month, set it in motion in February of 1926. Then it was only known as Negro History Week, the second week of February, sitting right in-between the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. It wasn’t until the year of 1976 when it was officially dubbed as what we all know today; Black History Month.

Below are the receivers of the CSN Black History Month Scholarships: Rochelle Baltimore, Prentice Caesar, Tiana Dias-Myers, Samantha Ford, Krisheena Irwin, Diane Jones, Patricia Marshall, Camille Polk, Dustin Rains and Aleida Villegas.

“If race has no history, if it has no worthwhile tradition, it becomes a negligible factor in the

thought of the world, and it stands in danger of being exterminated.” –Carter G. Woodson.

Las Vegas is a town that thrives on its entertainment industry, “get rich quick” chances with gam-

bling, and maybe even world class cui-sine. We are not however, in any way known for our education system, unless of course, it has to do with how little we seem to care for it. We are currently ranked 49th in the nation in education, and it seems, if Nevada’s education funds get cut anymore, that number may be dropping even further. For our major 1.2 billion dol-lar budget deficit, Governor Sando-val came up with a budget plan that

not everyone is happy with. Unfortu-nately for us, if the plan goes through, our schools, namely higher education, along with local governments will be hit extremely hard with cuts. According to a blueprint of Governor Sandoval’s budget by the Ely Times, this plan would reduce K-12 spending by 5.2%, and cut higher ed by nearly 18%. And while this may not seem like a significant amount, CSN’s president Michael Richards says the cuts will cost College of Southern Nevada nearly $27 million. So what does this major budget change mean for

students like us? It means sky rocketing tuition fees, less room for students, and as a result, more students that will have to be turned away. With a population of over 44,000 current students, CSN is easily the largest college in the state, and one of the largest in the nation. This semester, there were over 5,000 students who not only couldn’t get into the classes they wanted, but some who were also denied access to entering CSN completely, because there just wasn’t enough room for more.

On Saturday January 29, 2011, students, teachers, state workers and anyone else who wanted to be heard got the chance to speak directly to the legislatures of Nevada about why or why not they are in favor of the proposed budget. It was the Town Hall Budget Meeting, and it was open to the public.

There was an overwhelming response from locals, as evidenced by even the overflow with rooms being filled to the brim. Even before the meeting was underway, there were people outside the building holding up signs which said, “We support Sandoval’s budget,” or, “Cuts Hurt.” And while the majority of the crowd was there to support, or just watch the proceedings, there were plenty of people who spoke out as well. So many, in fact, that not everyone who wanted, got a chance to speak.

How the public meeting worked was this: people came up to the podium, speaking directly to our legislatures, and stated three minute testimonies, voicing their opinions about why or why not Sandoval’s budget plan should be put into action. The speakers were mainly students, teachers

and representatives from schools opposing the budget cuts. Mixed in among them were a few seniors, and some government workers such a social workers, and caretakers, who couldn’t afford the tax cuts anymore, mainly because it would affect their charges. Among the speakers, some of whom were CSN students, was ASCSN’s student body president, JT. Creedon. Creedon is an active protestor in the ongoing fight for education. He has gone on the news and radio, trying to give our students a voice A harsh reality that we are facing was put into words by one local who protested the budget cuts: “Children should not pay the debt of our state. Taxing it more will only send our teachers to other states.” One particularly touching story was that from a kindergarten teacher. She told the crowd how she had one hundred different students – 50 in the morning, and 50 in the afternoon. “I can’t teach my students to read like that,” she told us, “I’m not much more than a babysitter.” It was stories like this that made us wonder, if things are already this bad, how will it be if the budget is cut any more?

Among the protestors, not to be overlooked was a small amount arguing the opposite – why funding for education should be cut. The first argument was, “We have been raising money for education for years and the performance of students has been dropping.” While this fact can most definitely not be denied, with Nevada’s extremely poor testing scores, and graduation rates, many countered this argument, by saying that if we cut the budget any more, that poor performance can only get worse. “We need to invest in our students,” said one local in his testimony. When the meeting drew to a close, over a hundred locals had shared their opinions and dismay. The legislature’s 128-day deliberation period started on February 8, 2011. For now, all we can do is anxiously await and pray that the voices of Nevada, reach the ears of our legislatures, in hopes of continuing to pursue our academic journey.

CSN Offers Scholarship Fund for its Homeless Students

by HEIDI FREY Staff Writer

As the homeless rate climbs in Las Vegas to an estimated staggering 13,000, funding is executed in the

spring of 2011 by the College of South-ern Nevada’s Foundation to its homeless students. With the unemployment rate at a strong 14.9 percent and the foreclosure rate five times the national average with 88,198 filing in 2010, it is no surprise that the homeless population is affected, cre-ating an estimated population of 13,000 people according to the Las Vegas Sun. Although these statistics are well documented, according to the National Public Radio news database as well as several other sources, there is not any con-clusive evidence to determine how many college students are currently homeless at the College of Southern Nevada let alone trying to determine how many are on the national scale. The NPR website explained that the main reason why statistical informa-tion is limited is because of these students’ embarrassment with their situation. Many will not communicate their needs for fear of creating a barrier between themselves and their peers. Even though specific conclusive numbers do not exist at this time, it is like-ly that many CSN students struggling to stay off the street, given the basic statistics of unemployment, foreclosures, and the documented collective homeless popula-tion. The homeless population contin-ues to grow at an incredible rate per year creating 2 percent of the national homeless rate, federal funding is limited. It is about $500 per person for Las Vegas, while other cities such as Pittsburgh receive $10,000 per homeless person (Las Vegas Sun). Have you ever considered that someone sitting next to you in class is homeless? Or on the verge of being forced

to live on the street while trying to balance studying?

What would you do if it happened to you? Do you know where to turn to on the CSN campuses for help? Depressing as it all is because of the lack of adequate federal support, there is a spark of hope offered on cam-pus. Judy Stewart, a professor of biology, is coordinating a program, with The Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth, to help homeless students on campus pay for their classes. Stewart explained, that the pro-gram allows homeless students that attend CSN and receive service from homeless agencies such as, The Nevada Partner-ship for Homeless Youth, Shade Tree, and Center for Independent Living, the ability to have access to the Youthful Enterprise Scholarship. The Youthful Enterprise Schol-arship was funded with a donation of $10,000 in 2008 by the CSN Foundation. Although the donation was incredibly generous, it is a limited amount of money. With the uncertainty of an increase in col-lege tuition, and students already finding it difficult to pay for classes, Stewart ex-presses concern saying that the scholarship will “deplete quickly.” Currently, Stewart is helping four homeless students, and just estimating that these students are at least enrolled into two classes per semester, the funds will be more than half way used by the end of the 2011 fall semester, given it would even last that long, granted other homeless students enter the program. So, I leave you with a couple of questions. What can we do as a campus to help those who are suffering from home-lessness around us? How do we help alle-viate the embarrassment? What would be the best way to support CSN students in need? If you are interested in donat-ing to the homeless youth including CSN homeless students , please visit the Nevada Partnership for Homeless youth website @ http://www.nphy.org/ for a list of materi-als greatly needed. Or contact Professor Judy Stewart directly at [email protected], or by phone at 702-651-7508.

1 in 4 Students Will Not Be Able To Get Into Classes

Next Semester. Will You Be Among Them?

Based on a projection presented to a Board of Regents meeting re-garding the budget, nearly 12,000

CSN students will not be able to get into classes next fall if the Governor’s proposed cuts to Higher Education go through. That is not including the nearly 5,300 students who were unable to regis-ter last semester for the classes they will need in order to graduate.

If that wasn’t a cause for con-cern, maybe this is: Tuition and fees in-creasing upwards of 73 percent. To put that another way, students currently pay about $69 per credit for classes now, or a little over $200 for a three credit

class. If the Governor’s proposed cuts go through, and we make it up in tuition and fees alone, then classes will cost over $150 per credit and over $460 for a three credit class! Many students can barely afford to get into classes now, and it cer-tainly wouldn’t be fair for them to have to stay longer to complete their classes through no fault of their own.

If you thought this won’t apply to you because you’re leaving this year to go to UNLV or UNR, think again. Every school of the Nevada System of Higher Edu-cation will be subject to the same cuts and forced to dramatically increase tuition and cut programs. Recently, UNLV began filing for financial exigency, which in lay-men’s terms, essentially means the same thing as bankruptcy. It will allow them to break several con-tracts, let go of a grevious amount faculty and programs and increase tuition. Imagine spending two years at CSN and transferring to UNLV expecting to complete your anticipated program only to find that all of the faculty that taught your field of study had fled the

state.

The cuts specifically add up to $162 million, or a 29 percent difference between the current budget and next year’s budget. To put things in perspec-

tive, that is more than the entire budget of Nevada State College, Great Basin College and Western Nevada College combined. If we shut down one third of the colleges in the state, we would still have to make up the difference. Has this caught your attention yet?

The good news is the cuts haven’t passed yet and there’s something you can do about it. We need your help. All you need to do is so share your story with legislators via e-mail, phone, U.S mail, or at a town hall. At the very mini-mum, just showing up to a rally may be enough to save our schools. First, send an e-mail to [email protected] or join our facebook page at www.csn.edu/ascsnstu-dentgovernmetn to get updates on the budget and events. Next, we have several events coming up that you need to be at. There will be a legislative town hall at the Cheyenne Campus Horn Theater, and just showing up and sharing your ideas will make an impact. The big event is a rally to be held in Carson City on Mon-day, Mar. 21. We will be busing students from all over the state to protest the bud-get cuts on the legislators’ doorstep and we need you to be there. Please e-mail me at [email protected] today with your name, e-mail and phone number if you’re interested.

The College of Southern Nevada has come a long way from its temporary

“gutted-out old Review-Journal building” start in 1971 as described by one of its longest residents and special assistant to the president, Thomas Brown.

In 2011, CSN celebrates 40 years with a look back at its history and how the college came to be the largest higher education institution in Nevada. The college, which went by Clark County Community College in 1971, started out small with 402 students enrolled in the first year and 10 staff members. “The walls were not up to the top so you could hear the English instructor in your psychology class talking. It was small and everybody did what they had to do to survive,” Brown explained. Brown was amongst the small staff, counseling and teaching history and recalled what it was like during that first year.

1972 was a year of milestones for the college. The City of North Las Vegas donated 80 acres of land at Cheyenne Avenue for a new campus. Enrollment that fall semester more than doubled with 1,766 students and additional staff were hired. “There was a lot of people that put in a lot of hours and the institution continued to grow,” stated Brown. All the hours seemed to pay off when Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges started to think about possibly awarding accreditation to CSN.

After opening Cheyenne Campus in 1974, the highlights for the college kept rolling. In 1975, the college earned accreditation from the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges.

Henderson Campus opened in 1981 and the Charleston Campus opened its doors in 1988. Nine satellite centers were also added including Summerlin, Boulder City and Mesquite along with a campus in Pahrump. The college’s name changed to Community College of Southern Nevada in 1991 after recognizing it was serving not one, but four Nevada counties. The name changed again in 2007 to

College of Southern Nevada because the college started awarding baccalaureate degrees to certain programs.

CSN’s student body has defined itself over the years as being the most ethnically diverse higher education

institution in Nevada. Once a student population of 402, now the college boasts over 43,000 students along with a national champion NJCAA baseball team, a spirited softball team and a culinary team that competes nationally. Students have the opportunity to earn any of the 25+ degrees offered as well as a four-year baccalaureate degree in dental hygiene. Also, CSN offers three

Community College High Schools and a K-12 collaborative program where students can graduate with a degree or college credits along with their high school diploma collectively.

CSN has developed into one of Nevada’s most successful institutions over the past 40 years, but with its smooth sailing threatened by the looming possibility of plans for an educational budget cut, officials are staying positive. The president of CSN, Michael Richards stated this on his blog, “Let’s try to consistently remind ourselves and our community about the value we provide to the state, the quality of CSN’s education experience and the dreams we help students realize.” Brown believes we should try to “identify our alumni and ask for help as well as organize campaigns,” in order to help prevent the potential budget cuts.

CSN’s 40 year anniversary is not only another milestone for the college, but a marker of its success. When asked about what the anniversary might mean to the public, Brown simply stated, “The 40 year anniversary gives us the opportunity to let folks know how we look and where we are and what

we do.”

Happy anniversary, CSN.

CSN Celebrates 40 year Anniversary


NEWS

The College of Southern Nevada is currently targeted for Legisla-tive budget cuts. On February 6th,

2011, Nevada Governor, Brian Sando-val proposed a plan to reduce education funding by 17 percent. As a result, local colleges will be forced to pass on the cost to students – raising tuition rates by more than 70 percent. According to Nevada System of Higher Education’s Chancellor Daniel Klaich, Nevada ranks 49th among states with citizens possessing an associate or bachelor’s degree. Right now, a tuition increase would decimate the system, along with hopes and aspirations of many hard-working students. According to a recent Nevada educational poll, only 6 percent of CSN students graduate. In these days of eco-nomic hardship, middle and low-income students need as much help and support as they can get; they don’t need to be

brow-beaten, vilified and economi-cally besieged by rich, desensitized lawmakers who seemingly care more about the fiduciary interests of the rich than their middle and low-income constituencies. Nevada students have been carrying a bull’s eye on their backs far too long. Every time this state needs to compensate for a shortfall,

they either cut education funding – which negatively impacts students and degrades quality of education or they cut social programs – which affects the poor and the elderly. Here in Nevada, bullying the powerless has become politically accept-able because no one ever speaks out loud enough. Not the students, not the elderly or the poor. Everyone is too busy trying to survive. This proposal is unacceptable be-cause it threatens scholastic opportunities by making it almost impossible for middle and low-income students to afford higher education. Students cannot succeed if we allow our own state legislators to con-stantly place roadblocks in our path. The callousness of these so-called lawmakers has driven Nevada’s school system at the deep end of the dump, where it currently resides. And it’s up to students – young and old; male and female; black, white, red and yellow; the unemployed and still

hopeful; the courageous and the resilient – to be proactive, stand up and be heard. Now is the time for each and every one of us to have that “Howard Beale” moment, to shout out loud, “I’m mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take it anymore.” We have a substandard school system, which mostly serves as an endless labor pool for local gaming and mining. What about those who aspire to do more and to be more? Those students with the will and aptitude to rise above their ill-fated and underfunded educational environment; when will Nevada’s chil-dren be given a chance to maximize their potential? By constantly stripping away educational resources, our state govern-ment has made it clear; they only want to maintain the status quo. Until we stand up and demand more of our elected officials, Nevada’s education system will linger in a state of perpetual mediocrity. From now until July 2011, students need to plan and attend rallies, and make as much noise as we can muster. Perhaps we need to tap into that spirit of civil disobedience and galvanize our strength and energy to send a clear mes-sage to Nevada’s political hierarchy that we deserve better than a second rate, deficient and financially deprived education system.

What Will Sandoval’s Budget Cuts Mean for CSN?

by JAMIE BARNARD Staff Writer

“The single greatest thing we can do for our young people is prepare them for success

by providing them with a quality education.” This is the first sentence of Governor Brian Sandoval’s education plan, but it does not seem to coincide

with the extreme budget cuts that he has proposed for various aspects of education in Nevada, CSN being one of them. If adopted, these budget cuts could prove to be a very serious problem for the students, staff and faculty at CSN.

The governor’s proposed budget cuts would bring negative changes to

CSN such as 5 percent pay cuts, sizeable increases in tuition and fees which may result in more students being turned away due to classes being full. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, this new budget could end up costing CSN $26.7 million if these changes in the budget are approved. According to the president of CSN, Michael Richards, these cuts would eliminate 29 percent of CSN’s state support. This is a problem because CSN gets 70 percent of their total funding from the state. In addition to that, the president was quoted in the article as saying, “they’re basically rolling us back to fiscal year

2003 in terms of state support.” This could pose a problem because CSN has over 9,000 more students than it had in 2003. President Richards stated that the mission of CSN is to provide affordable access to students. The resulting changes of these budgets cuts would greatly


FEATURES

access to students. The resulting changes of these budgets cuts would greatly interfere with that. For instance, to compensate for these severe budget changes President Richards states an increase in tuition is unavoidable, credits would increase from $69.25 to $119.48.

A more recent article in the Las Vegas Review-Journal stated that UNLV is facing some severe budget cuts as well which might lead to UNLV declaring financial exigency, which is much like declaring bankruptcy. Administrators were disheartened when they had to inform the faculty of this news on Tuesday, February 15th. UNLV will have to cut almost twice as much from their budget as CSN will. In the past UNLV budget cuts only affected nonacademic areas however this round of budget cuts could result in departments, programs

and entire colleges being eliminated. One can only wonder if this will also affect CSN.

The leaders of higher education do not support these budget cuts either and they were quoted as saying that Sandoval’s proposed budget cuts would be a “death sentence” for higher education. Higher ed. leaders already voted on Sandoval’s budget cuts and it was a unanimous 13-0 vote opposing the proposal according to the Las Vegas Sun. Even with that being said Higher education leaders say these changes are not likely to drive away potential students despite the extreme increase in the cost of classes. CSN has already seen a previous round of budget cuts which resulted in classes being cut, outlying centers being closed and an elimination of 5 percent

of jobs through attrition. Legislators have until June 7th, to review and amend the Sandoval budget and a decision is supposed to be reached at some point during this coming summer. School and community officials are urging students to get involved as a way of preventing these budget cuts from being passed. Considering the comments from various officials most feel Sandoval’s new budget could prove to be devastating to CSN as well as other educational institutions in Nevada. However, it remains to be seen how CSN will withstand the next round of budget cuts if approved. Look forward to an interview with President Richards and Senior Vice President of Finance and Facilities, Patty Charlton in the next issue.

Students and Politics

Whether you are Republican, Democrat, Independent, Liberal or Conservative, voters that are

between the ages of 18-29 are the least likely to vote. Why are college students so disinterested in politics? With the un-employment rate at an all time high in Las Vegas, the state of the economy at an all time low and tuition costs going up, College of Southern Nevada students who fall into that age bracket are feeling the effects personally, but yet voter turn out continues to be low after each elec-tion. Over the years, politicians have cut the budget for education which have resulted in under funding and over-crowded classrooms. When CSN stu-dent Jeremiah Smith was asked why he

doesn’t take the initiative to vote, his re-sponse was, “I believe that my one extra vote wouldn’t mean anything in my eyes. In the end, standing up just me alone, wouldn’t really make a difference.” Jer-emiah also explained that while there are issues that affect students, many of them do not take the time to become political-ly involved because they are too focused on social events such as going to parties and going to the newest club in town. It seems that students are more focused on watching the current episode of “The Jersey Shore” rather than watching the President’s State of the Union Address. On the other hand, CSN stu-dent Loreli Miller believes that students are not staying politically involved be-cause they are too busy with their school

and work life, that there is not enough time to brush up with politics. Another CSN student, Lily Rochon believes that politicians are more concerned with ap-pealing their platform to older constit-uents who actually do go out and vote rather than the younger crowd who does not bother to vote at all. Maybe if poli-ticians geared more of their platform to its younger constituents, the more likely of a voter turnout there would from the 18-29 age group. In President Obama’s State of the Union address on January 25th, he seemed to take some initiative by proposing a, “race to the top” competition that would allow funding for schools “If you show us the most innovative plans to improve teacher quality and student achievement, we’ll show you the money.”

One thing is for sure, our age bracket will remain at a voter low as long as we allow it to be. It only takes one voice to be heard. It only took one voice from the likes of Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. to start a movement. If college students all over the world made a point to let their voices be heard, poli-ticians would have no choice but to gear their platforms to-ward college students, and give them the benefits that they deserve, such as quality higher education. One voice turns into two voices. Then three. Then 20. Then hundreds, and soon a movement has taken place.

“Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” - Martin Luther King Jr.


OPINIONS

Is a Higher Education Really Important?

by NATASHA ROQUE Staff Writer

Living in the United States, the idea of continuing education after high school is imprinted in most of our

younger generation as they move up the grade scale. A reality exists that without a college degree in to-day’s world, it is near impossible to make a comfortable living. Not only high school graduates are making the college move, but grown adults have been making the decision to continue their higher education in hopes of finding a better career. Twenty years ago, peo-ple were able to get away with graduating from high school and joining the work force while making a decent living. Some people have even been known to not finish high school, but were still able to find a job and make a decent living. However, present day is very different. Times have changed and so has education, especially the affordability of education. Seeking a higher edu-cation has always been known to be a bit costly, but today’s tuition prices are affecting more than student’s wallets, it is also affect-ing their motivation to follow their intended plans for a better life. What is not so easy to understand is why education is being affected in this economic uproar when it is the one qual-ity that’s being emphasized to all Americans as being our underly-ing platform to progress in life. Take our situation here in Nevada, accord-ing to the Nevada Policy Research Institute, we are known to have one of the poorest rankings as far as our education system is concerned. A thought was mentioned that we are too busy building other things in the

city rather than educating the students. It is quite evident that state and city officials may have other priorities before thinking about the current education issue and were

paying for it. This situation stands as being a great concern because the students, like you and I, are being affected. Students who had made big moves to attend college somewhere other than at home are mak-

ing moves back to their previous city be-cause out-of-state tuition has become too expensive. Students that have families are struggling even more so because it is taking

longer to graduate because of these tuition increases along with main-taining a household. With such ex-penses increasing, grasping a college degree is going to take a lot more time and money than some may have earlier envisioned. When you look at liv-ing in the United States as a whole, many people think about how there is much opportunity to discover. However, nothing is ever as easy as it may appear. Due to our economic turmoil, our whole nation has been turned upside down. Higher edu-cation is still a priority in a lot of individual’s minds, but with tuition rates increasing on a yearly basis, people are having no choice but to take different routes than originally planned. Sadly, some are even giv-ing up on the idea as a whole. Some kind of change must be made for education to be realistically afford-able. The future impact can be quite devastating because such institu-tions are preparing individuals to be successful in the real world, and if people can no longer afford to continue with college plans, what can we expect for our future gen-erations? Nonetheless, what needs to be taken into perspective is what we can expect for the growth of the nation as a whole if enrollment de-clines? Education is far more than

just books and homework; education can define the future for an individual, and as a whole define the future for our nation.

Chillin’ With Chuck Raganby MONA WHITE Contributing Writer

Body scanners, pat downs and tickets --- no, I’m not at the airport --- I’m in line for a concert at the House of Blues. Inside, the music starts pounding, curtains open, a reddish, purple hue lends mystique, as a fiddle, cello and harmonica fill the venue with an Irish-esque, steel, gritty sound. “A cross between Popeye and Grizzly Adams,” Chuck Ragan, folk trou-badour, describes his genre. A harmonica hooked around his neck, melody streams through the mouth organ as he simultaneously strums accom-paniment on his acoustic guitar. “An electric guitar with a kit, like you get at Wal-mart,” Ragan remembers

his first guitar. “I plugged it into the amp and after about half an hour, my dad came and took it away,” said Ragan’s seven-year-old inner child peeking out of his soul, regret filling his eyes. However, the next day, when he got home from school, there was an acous-tic guitar propped against his bed. The music transitions into a knee-slapping, hoot-a-nanny shindig prompting the audi-ence to clap along as the fiddler, sporting a ZZ-Top beard and trucker cap, stomps his foot to the beat. “He looks like Jeb from the Beverly Hillbillies,” observes a male in the crowd as he moves to the pulse.

The cello vi-brates and penetrates the audience’s soul as it lays down the bass line. Keys dan-gling from his skinny jeans, the cellist taps the beat on the wood, plucking the strings while swaying it back and forth like a fa-miliar dance partner. Ragan croons a ballad with a raspy, edgy voice that implies, “Hey. I’m lost and trying to find myself,” that melts the hearts of every woman in the room, despite the fact he is happily married. “My wife toured with me un-til two years when we got a Chihuahua,” Ragan explains. He also shows a little known fact – he pulls down his bottom lip

revealing a tattoo of a fish hook and his wedding date. Ragan’s music, like his mar-riage, has the roots of the tree imbedded firmly in the ground. It gets back to the range and depth of all things real, while retaining the raw edge like a cat on a hot tin roof. “Gold Country is about getting back to our roots,” Ragan describes his hometown which is deep in the heart of 49’ers gold rush. To give GC even more authenticity, the band actually recorded it at a studio located on an old local mining claim. Ragan prides himself on getting back to the roots and honesty of the craft. He lives and breathes it. It is in his blood and was instilled by his grandfather. “He was outside smoking a pipe watching me play my guitar,” remembers Ragan. “He walked over and put his hand on my shoulder and told me, ‘No matter what, don’t give up on your dream.’” Wise words that Ragan said has always stuck with him. Because of this, the House of Blues audience is treated to honest cre-ativity instead of cookie cutter, four-chord songs as the three good old boys give it their all and feverishly strumming for a big finish. Ragan, true to his character, hugs each of his band mates, thanking them on stage after the set. The tour manager texts me signaling it’s interview time. Brisk winter air, warm heat lamp, small round table with folding chairs and tour buses parked 50 yards away and the pulsing Luxor lights in the background. Chivalrous, Ragan pulls the chair out after which began a half hour of Chillin’ with Chuck.

Macbeth

Through their “garden shed” produc-tion of Macbeth, the Utah Shake-speare Festival showed that you don’t

need to have high production costs to make a play. Instead, all you need is some creativ-ity and imagination.

Stage Manager Rebecca Lindsey showed off her creativity by turning men’s sport jackets and common items from a home improvement store into a full array of props and costumes. Although there were however, times that viewers’ imaginations may have had to work harder to understand what was happening in a scene, for instance when an actor climbed a ladder to simulate going up stairs, the production as a whole never really suffered.

The play was also aided by some outstanding acting performances. Kelly Marie Hennessy showed her acting prow-ess as Lady Macbeth, doing what many actors aspire to do, making the audience forget that she was playing a character and actually getting them to believe she was Lady Macbeth.

The other actor who gave an out-standing performance was Daniel Hall. Even though Hall had to stretch between playing six different characters, (among them King Duncan, a murderer and a por-ter), he gave each a life and an emotion that was unique to each character.

The director, Christopher Clark, also did his part in making the play enter-taining.Instead of just having his actors do all of their lines from the stage, there were instances where the actors would come from the back of the theater and make their way to the stage, giving the play a less sta-tionary feel. Clark was also unafraid to let his actors use accents that are not common to Shakespearean plays. Hill, for example, gave his porter character a southern drawl

which made the character more humorous.Clark also put some of his actors playing witches on stilts. This gave the actors the effect that they were able to swoop down onto the audience at any time, making them seem all the more treacherous.

Clark, along with actress Jennifer Chandler created a score for the play that conveyed all the emotions perfectly. Chan-dler was tasked with having to play the mu-sic for the play and jump into certain scenes so she could play the role of Malcolm, which she did flawlessly. The only down-fall to her dual roles were that there were times that the scenes Chandler was acting

in could have benefited from her cello.After the play, the actors along with their director did a quick Q&A with the audi-ence. They explained what they loved about the characters they played, and showed how the play used symbolism.The Utah Shakespeare Festival does this play tour as a way to show middle and high school students that the lifeblood of any play is good acting and imagination.Overall, the play was enjoyable and perfect for its intended audience. It showed that the most important part of the theatre is the passion the actors, directors and pro-duction staff carry for it.

What does the Animaniacs, a beer drinking contest and a mad mosh pit have in com-

mon? The Less Than Jake concert at the House of Blues on Saturday, Jan. 20. where the ska punk band pulled people onstage, egged on the audience and exhibited audience interaction unparalleled by any group I have ever witnessed. In the quiet hours before, gui-tarist/vocalist Chris Demakes invited me on the tour bus to chat about Less Than Jake and what makes them stand out above the rest.

Q: If a Less Than Jake virgin asked you to describe your sound as a

mix or marriage of something what would it be?

A: A loud three-piece punk band with melodies, a horn section and

ska. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Q: The reason the readers like in-terviews is because it shows the

real side of the artist, unscripted. The way they are when they’re with friends.What is your mantra?

A: Don’t wipe back to front, you may end up with a nasty infection.

A nasty, nasty infection.

Q: The encore is over and the fans are leaving the venue – what do

want them to walk away with after a night of rocking with LTJ?

A: Their wallets!

Q: Ok. Is there a particular lyr-ic from your new album that

holds special meaning for you?

A: I’ve never been asked that before. (He strokes his chin in

thought.) I’m stumped, (he shakes his head in disbelief.) Oh, SNAFU! [Demakes said referring to the acro-nym for situation normal: all f*ck*d up.]

Q: You write the melodies for LTJ on your guitar. Is there

one that is more memorable than the rest?

A: “Ask the Magic 8 Ball.” I read the lyrics then literally wrote

the song in two minutes. The melody just came out and it’s just like me –

moody and powerful, (he chuckles to himself.) Like a morning dump after drinking Yager all night.

Q: You’ve been in the music indus-try for a long time. How did it

feel when you were released from your contract and finally able to record your music on your own label?

A: Ya know, if it would have hap-pened in 1999, I would have said

f^*$ yeah and I’d be giving high-fives and doing cartwheels down the road. But the shape the music industry is in now, everyone is just trying to finan-cially stay afloat. It sucks, but I don’t want to sing you the blues.

Interview With Less Than Jake’s: Chris DeMakes

by MONA WHITE Contributor Writer


Q: Do you have any pet peeves, personally or industry based?

A: No, not really... Well, wait there is one thing. (His brow furrows.)

You know how there is always that one person at the party who no one wants there? Everyone is talking about them behind their back, but they stay anyway, making it uncomfortable for everyone. You get where I’m coming from, right?

Q: Of course! So… I should leave now?

A: (He laughes) Ya know, I like to think that everyone likes me. I

will admit though, I’ve been that per-son at the party – but at least I have the good sense to bail. Sh*t, it makes me mad and I just want to hard check them with my elbow in their kisser, (Demakes demonstrates while explain-ing.)

Q: Focusing back on the music, you have been on countless tours over

the years. Are there any that stand out?

A: Yeah, there was one that was kind of bizarre. It was the Honda

Civic tour and we connected with a fan base that was too young. Plus we were there with Lincoln Park, Korn, Snoop Dogg and The Used and we were the odd band out.

Q: How so?

A: Well Lincoln Park and Korn were doing their own thing. The

Used had its emo, whatever, going on and Snoop was on some trip. Against all that, we just stood out, like retards with a horn.

Q: Do you remember when you got your first guitar?

A: Well my dad plays, so I used his guitars. I probably started play-

ing around with them when I was 1 ½ years old. I do remember staying with my brother when I was 18, before I discovered girls. He had a guitar just sitting under his bed and I had noth-ing better to do, so I grabbed it started

playing. I started practicing a lot and then I started skipping school to play. School went to the wayside but then there was girls and booze.

Q: Living on the road must get pretty interesting. Do you get

squirrely being cooped up in here with the band and crew?

A: We’re used to it, but it does smell like feet, a$$ and beer.

Q: Well, thank you so much for squeezing this interview in dur-

ing your downtime. Before I go, is there anything you would like to add, or questions, I should have asked?

A: (He smirkes), How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a

woodchuck could Chuck Norris?A-ha, nice! Thanks again, it was nice to meet you.

The world is burning. Kindling has been piled high by oppres-sive governments and doused

in an accelerant of hopelessness and poverty. Fascism has filled society with enough bundles of sticks to keep the flames burning white hot. A sin-gle man sparked the current wildfire of justice, now flaring in the souls of

the oppressed. M o h a m m e d Bouazizi.

A f t e r the humble Tunisian veg-g i e - v e n d o r had his cart c o n f i s c a t e d and his family d i s re spec ted by a police-woman, he got pissed; pissed enough to march to his local police station and promptly set himself on fire. This young man’s tragedy proved to be

the catalyst for a movement against tyrannous rulers everywhere.

The Arab world is not alone in their stance against government brutality. Student protests have bro-ken out across Europe and the US opposed to higher tuition and budget cuts. People everywhere have become

emboldened with the power to shout in the streets until someone listens.

Whether you are a peace-ful protestor with your recycled signs about hugging trees, a freedom fight-er, ready to die in the streets for your people, or just a nihilistic and destruc-tive anarchist bent on smashing the windows of every storefront in town, here is a list of most excellent songs to shout, protest, riot, and loot to! *~ Get Up Stand Up, Bob Marley. The international anthem for the op-pressed. Marley’s short and powerful message rings out across the world, encouraging people to stand up for their rights, and never give up the fight.~ Rock The Casbah, The Clash. This song about a Sharif ’s ban on rock mu-sic, and his people’s violation of the ban is strangely prophetic in relation to today’s unrest. “The King called in his jetfighters; he said you better earn your pay; drop your bombs between the minarets; down the Casbah way.”~ Viva La Revolution, The Adicts.

baseline perfect for an unorganized march and a message of, “No one here gets out alive,” this song may be better off in the playlist of the Libyan gov-ernment forces who are now murder-ing their own citizens in the streets.~ Cadence To Arms, Dropkick Mur-phys. Who knew bagpipes could be so hard-core? Brave heart, that’s who. This rendition of the classic song, Scot-land The Brave, inspires one to grab their kilt and shillelagh and march forward, to confront oppression!~ Bulls On Parade, Rage Against The Machine. What Anti-Government movement would be complete without at least one Rage song? None.~ We’re Not Gonna Take It, Quiet Riot. Okay, you got me; this one is kind of lame and mostly just for fun.~ Fu*k Police Brutality, Anti-Flag. From Bouazizi to Rodney King, a common catalyst for government re-

sistance is the abuse of people and power by their own police forces.~ April 29th, Sublime. The riots are in the streets! So where are you? R.I.P. Bradley.~ A.C.A.B. The 4-Skins. If you don’t know what it means, look it up. Then shout it loudly as you clash with the armored riot police in the streets.~ Bloody Revolution, Crass. No band in history compares to Crass when it comes to messages of anarchistic phi-losophy. This tune embodies Crass and their demands for anarchy and peace!

~ This Land Is Your Land, Woody Guthrie. The American anti-anthem, written by the “Dustbowl Trouba-dour,” is taught to all young patriots in kindergarten. The part that our teach-ers neglected to teach us is Guthrie’s

controversial unrecorded last line: “In the squares of the city, in the shad-ow of a steeple;By the relief office, I’d seen my people.As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking,Is this land made for you and me?”

So march forth warriors of freedom! Dance in the streets, shout your clever slogans and never leave a man behind. If they start shooting, throw rocks. There is more of us than them, and way more rocks than bul-lets!*

Staying Fit at the Cheyenne Campusby THOMAS BUFFKIN Staff Writer

Among the many challenges of a college student are study,ing completing tests and homework, and make time to stay fit. Knowing what this campus offers you to ensure you complete these challenges is just the first step.

The Cheyenne campus offers two great resources that will allow you to ac-complish your goal of keeping fit. The in-tramural sports program and the Sports Center are great ways to keep fit while you are completing your degree. With gyms having monthly memberships costing around $40, these two resources are great for students on a budget. The Sports Cen-ter membership costs $5. The intramural program sports cost you the $5 for the Sports Center membership, and then the fee for the sport you want to play, usually $5 as well. Students are already at the cam-pus so they are saving themselves a trip to the gym by choosing to use these two options. The in-tramural sports program is for students who are competi-tive athletes, or just casual players look-ing to have fun. Students are given the op-tion to sign up with a group of friends for any given team sport. The other option is to sign up as a free agent. This means you will be placed on a random team so that the team meets the minimum number of players needed to play. The program offers students up to 15 individual, team, or dual events each year. Sports such as basketball, flag football, vol-leyball, bowling, track, and everyone’s fa-

vorite sport of dodge ball are offered this spring semester. Looking at the website will allow students to see which other sports are offered during other seasons if these do not peak your interest. Our intramural program is part of the National Intramu-ral- Recreational Sports As-sociation (NIRSA) which means that you will compete region-a l l y and

nation-ally with the

sport of your choice. Tournaments are held at the University of Nevada

Las Vegas. The University of California Los Angeles is also where tournaments have been held. A requirement for the intramural program is that you have a Sports Cen-ter membership, pay the fee for the sport you are participating in, and check for your sports deadline because teams fill up quickly. Registrations after the deadline are

determined on a case by case basis. The second resource given to stu-dents is the Sports Center. This is a multi- function fitness facility opened Monday through Friday from 8a.m. to 9p.m. We have access to free and mechanical weights as well as treadmills. For people who are

more cardiovascular types, a full sized basketball court and

two racquetball courts are available. For students

looking to relax, sau-nas are available for

men and women, as well. Lock-ers are also available for students plan-ning to break a sweat right after class, there’s some-where to store belongings.

J u s t like the intra-

mural program, a Sports Center

membership is re-quired for students to

use what the facility offers. Simply give them your Sports

Center ID while working out and have it returned when finished.

We know that college students have a ton of things on their plate. Thirty minutes a day of exercise is all that is recommended to be healthy in America. Students can achieve those 30 minutes easily by visiting the Sports Center or par-ticipating in an intramural sport.
