Aye opens nominations for new CAB secretary Adrie Ashford Lifestyles Editor
Campus Activities Board heard from the student trustee about upcoming changes, and prepared to fill the secretary position at its meeting Tuesday. Trevor Dietrich, student trustee, said that the Nebraska State College System is making changes to the room deposit system currently in effect in residence halls. Currently, students pay a $100 deposit when they move into a dorm room, and receive it back when they move out. With the new procedure, students moving into the halls will pay a one-time $50 fee. The fee would only apply to incoming students, Dietrich said. Dietrich also said that the system is looking to reduce the total number of credits required for gradua-
tion from 125 to 120. The credits would be cut from the general education requirements, rather than core classes for specific degrees. The goal of this process would be to make it easier for students to get through their undergraduate degree more quickly, since many students can take as long as five or six years to receive a bachelor’s degree, Dietrich said. Christine Aye, CAB president, called for secretary nominations for the Spring 2011 semester. The position is currently occupied by graduating senior Savanna Wick, and is open to any CAB representative who has participated in the body for at least one semester. The secretary’s duties include taking notes; writing, preparing, and presenting meeting minutes; communicating with other executive board members; and tracking club
attendance and noting absences. CAB received five nominees, but any qualified person interested in the position may submit a letter of intent by 5 p.m. Monday to be considered for the job. Laure Sinn, coordinator of student activities, said a table for the “Stop the Hate” campaign will be set up in the Student Center from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday. Sinn said the committee’s goal is to fight hate and promote tolerance. Workers at the table will distribute candy, stickers, and information about tolerance. Aye distributed key fob surveys to CAB representatives, instructing anyone who lives in the residence halls and has already taken the survey to abstain. Seth Hulquist, CAB advisor, said that the CSC admissions office for CSC has opened a satellite location in Rushmore Mall.

n Settlement reached
between State of Nebraska, injured former CSC wrestlers
Max Baker, of Elk Grove, Cali., and Willy Jones, of Chadron, received settlement monies from the State of Nebraska because of injuries sustained in a 2008 vehicle accident. Baker is set to receive $1 million dollars as a result of the settlement. Jones will receive $1.7 million. Baker and Jones, members of the CSC wrestling team at the time of the accident, were traveling to Colorado to fly out of Denver International Airport for a tournament in Las Vegas. Baker suffered extensive head injuries, while Jones had head, hip, and urethra injuries when the 2003 Ford Excursion rolled once, approximately 3 miles south of the Wyoming state line on Interstate 25. The injuries are so significant as to have long-term effects and to impact their ability to work.
