Zackary Wellnitz, 21, senior of Rushville, plays Howard Barnes, a 30 something year old man stuck in the rut of his boring 9 to 5 office job. One day, after a boy’s night out, he discovers that he has woken up in a musical, where he is the main character.“What I’m excited about my character is that even though is a very average boring character, he gets thrown into such a weird situation, his whole world gets thrown upside down,” Wellnitz said. “Because of that I get to experience all of the emotions that come with that, and I am very ex cited about that.”

In the rst meeting of the semester, Student Senate appointed three new senators.

In his campaign, President Joe Biden promised Americans that he would provide relief for those crippled by student loan debt. Last week, he announced his student loan forgiveness plan, which could grant students with up to $20,000 in student loan forgiveness.

Current college students are among the list of people eligible for loan forgiveness; however, it only applies to those that have had their loans dispersed by June 30, 2022.

Along with loan forgiveness, Biden announced that the pause on student loan payments was extended to Dec. 31. After that, Americans are expected to pay their loans back regularly.

Your income will be based o income gures from either 2020 or 2022.

Student debt forgiveness plan becomes reality

“She is a little quirky and she has an undying love for musical theatre.”

“I will never apologize for helping Americans working — working Americans and middle class, especially not to the same folks who voted for a $2 trillion tax cut that mainly bene tted the wealthiest Americans and the biggest corporations, that slowed the economy, didn’t do a hell of a lot for economic growth, and wasn’t paid for and racked up this enormous de cit,” Biden said in a press conference Aug. 25.

Together, the pair embark on a wacky journey through the land of musical theater to look for an escape from the music. Along the way, Barnes runs into Grace, his villainous ex-girlfriend, played by Erin Hayhurst, 20, junior of Scottsblu .

In order for Barnes to put an end to the musical that has taken over his life, he must face the music and let go of his past, while also accepting the possibility of new love.

For students who are still dependents, those income gures are based o your parent’s income, not the individual income of the student.

Anyone who has federal loans and makes less than $125,000 annually (or $250,000 per household) are eligible to receive up to $10,000 forgiven on their student loans. Students who have Pell grants, regardless of frequency or size, and meet those same requirements qualify for up to $20,000 forgiven, according to a fact sheet published by the White House Aug. 24.

“Students should come see “ e Noteworthy Life of Howard Barnes” is because it’s funny, it’s exciting, it’s heartfelt, and overall, it’s a beautiful show,” Wellnitz said. “You may not understand all the references but that’s okay, you don’t have to to enjoy this truly amazing show.”ecast of “ e Noteworthy Life of Howard Barnes” will take to the Memorial Hall Auditorium stage Oct. 6-9. To reserve your seats, demics/theatre/.https://www.csc.edu/aca-visit“eNoteworthyLife of Howard Barnes” is a great show to start with for students who haven’t seen a musical before and it’s a whole other experience for students who have seen some other shows,” Smith. “ e show is speci cally written for either perspective. Of course it’s going to be a lot of fun for us on stage, but it’ll also be a lot of fun for everyone in the audience too.”

If your current loan balance is less than what you are eligible for in terms of relief, the amount forgiven will be capped at your current balance.

Almost any type of federal student loan quali es for forgiveness, including parent PLUS loans and graduate loans. However, private loans are not eligible. e forgiveness program can also apply to loans that were used for something other than a bachelor’s degree. ose who used a federal loan for trade school, community college and professional degree.

“I am most looking forward to working with this amazing cast,” Hayhurst said. “I think that we can have a lot of fun with this show, and I can’t wait to see how everything ts together. For my character, I’m most looking forward to the jokes and references to other musicals that I get to make and be a part of. I’ve always been a bit of a geek when it comes to musicals so I think that will be a lot of fun.”

Based on the income data the Department of Education currently has, debt forgiveness happens automatically. ere is no need to apply. ose who do not have relevant income information on le however – say you graduated in the middle of a year and change to independent status- will have to ll out an application launched by the Department of Education in October. After that, it should only be a few weeks until loans are forgiven.

According to a Forbes article published Tuesday, there is not currently a plan to allow student debt forgiveness in the future.

King says this is a win-win arrangement for Mat-Su and CSC.

“When teachers from the contiguous lower 48 states move to Alaska, they are excited, initially. en winter kicks in. It’s very long. It’s very dark. It’s very cold. Ultimately and unfortunately, a lot of teachers end up leaving which causes a lack of education continuity,” King said.

During a 2021 trip to Alaska, King reached out to Mat-Su school district superintendent Dr. Randy Trani to share information about CSC’s para-teacher program, in addition to the Education Administration graduate program at Anchorage.

“ e students will be employed by their alma mater and receive teacher training while on the job. CSC coursework pairs nicely with their on-the-job experience,” King said. “ e beauty of what Mat-Su is doing also includes a nancial incentive. ey are literally paying back every one of these students’ college debt. e rst year a CSC graduate from Mat-Su teaches in the district, they get 10 percent of their college loan debt forgiven. e next year, 30 percent, and so on, until in the fth year when they are debt-free, which is amazing.”

 From CSC College Relations

“A week later, Dr. Trani got back in touch with me and asked if there was any exibility in CSC’s programming. I said, ‘Well, it depends. What do you have in mind?’ So, I drove back up to Palmer and met with him in person. In about two hours, we hammered out a potential grow-your-own teacher program speci cally for high school graduates,” King said. e Mat-Su graduates will enroll with Chadron State as freshmen and, simultaneously, the district will hire them for 20 hours a week as para-professionals in one of their schools. e students will complete their education degree coursework via distance learning. In addition to CSC faculty, quali ed MatSu teachers and administrators will serve as adjuncts, providing content in their courses related to issues in Alaskan education and the Mat-Su Valley.

is year, seven Mat-Su high school students are enrolled as incoming freshman students with CSC, and Mat-Su has room for 25. “ ey hope the program will grow,” King said. “ e district is providing an avenue for a professional career for these young people; one they can build upon. It also saves money on recruiting and in the long run, it’s going to pay o in big dividends because the population the district is targeting already has family ties there. is is their home.” King believes the unique program is one of the rst in the nation.“I think you’re going to see a lot more like it,” he said. “We are just tickled to be partnering with the Mat-Su district on the innovative venture. It’s exciting.”

Chadron State College’s presence in Alaska is expanding. In addition to a well-established graduate program in Anchorage, an undergraduate cohort from the Palmer/Wasilla area will enroll thisNearlyfall. 50 individuals have graduated through CSC’s growyour-own school administrator partnership with the Anchorage School District, according to Dr. Don King, a retired CSC Education Professor and recruiter for Education Outreach Programs. e fth cohort will enroll in January 2023. “It’s been very successful. As a result, other school districts in Alaska have caught wind of it and reached out,” King said. As a result of increasing interest, King has helped to initiate a new program at the Matanuska-Susitna (Mat-Su) school district aimed at high school graduates earning their bachelor’s degrees in education. e district, about the size of West Virginia, includes nine high schools in Palmer and Wasilla, according to King. Like other districts in Alaska, Mat-Su is facing a challenge to retain teachers. It costs about $2,400 to advertise in the lower 48 to recruit one teacher, King said.

I think that we are lucky to live in an area that has so much public land that we can use for recreation.Idon’tjust mean the really cool state and national parks that are at our disposal but public lands with no entry fee.We are surrounded by National Forest Service land, National Grasslands, state lands and Bureau of Land Management land. Why do we not take advantage of it more of ten?I think that while it is good to take breaks from your phone, social media and homework, you can find places to be able to do both.Find a place to have an out door movie night with friends or read a book in a new place. Recreation does not always have to be physically exhaust ing. It can be setting up a tent for the night, right next to a dirtYouroad.can lay down the seat of your car and camp out without using any camping gear. The world is ready for you to use it and it doesn’t have to be hard.Ilove good hike with a cool destination but sometimes parking the car and setting up a hammock right next to it, is just as Paddleboardingsatisfying. and back packing can be really fun and you can find amazing destina tions. However there are also good destinations that you can drive straight to. C-hill is perfect for watch ing the sunset and just de

stressing.Beingoutside can be a great and cheap way to destress and allow yourself some time away. But if you do need have things that you need to do, you can often bring them with you. Take your textbooks and your homework and enjoy be ing somewhere new all while being able to complete the things you need to do. Even if you just want to go for a drive to look at all the things mother nature has to offer.There are lots of areas around here that are up to you to use.You can grab a camp chair and watch the sunset or set up a hammock to watch.

We asked: What is your least favorite class sp far?

Alexa Shald 20, junior, O’Neil “I don’t really have a least favorite class, I enjoy all of them so far.” Alex Peepgrass 20, Littleton,junior,Colorado “My nutrition class.” Bailey Dean 18, freshman, Highmore, South Dakota “My math class.”

Censorship,

Zach Mader, the vice princi pal of Northwest High School, told The Indepen dent that the administra tion had talked of “doing away with our newspa per” if the board deemed the content “inappro priate” and the last issue had caused “a little bit of hostility amongst some” of the board members. To me, that doesn’t seem like a valid reason for shutting the paper down. Where is the pedological purpose behind some hostile feelings? Why are issues regarding LGBTQ+ rights, issues that affect part of the student popu lation, viewed as inappropriate? I would love to know the educa tional reason behind the decision. Because, in my mind, it sounds like homophobia is the real issue. This isn’t the first time I’ve heard of high school papers being censored. A few years ago, I had the privilege to testify on behalf of LB 88. This bill would prohibit the cen soring of high school news organizations in Nebraska. Alongside me were high school students that shared their personal stories of being censored. Unfor tunately, the bill didn’t pass. But I still believe that this is something that should be cement ed into our state’s laws. Why should public schools, the places where students are supposed to form opinions on the world around them and share those ideas with their peers, get to dictate what students want to write about? Not only is this terrible educa tion for future journalists, but it sends a bad message of what the older generations are willing to tolerate in terms of oppression. We’re supposed to be the country of the free, where every one can address their grievances. I think it’s time we give students that right back.

As You Said It!

Aubrie Lawrence A

But what was the educational purpose behind the Northwest High School’s administration cen soring the Viking Saga?

Creighton Trembley 20, Longmont,junior, Colorado “Business law, there is way too much reading.” Trinity Chrisawn 20, junior, Rock Springs, Wyoming “My criminal law class.”

As We See It

the new education fter administrators created a new rule where trans gender students writing for the newspaper must use their birth names on bylines, student journalists from the Viking Saga, Northwest High School’s student newspaper, located in Grand Island, decided to dedicate their final June edition to LGBTQ+ issues. They wrote columns regarding the issues and a news story on Pride Month. To them, this was an issue of the upmostLaterimportance.thatmonth, the same school administrators shut down the newspaper program, enraging those who worked in the program. Since then, the story has caught like fire, with news organizations like AP News, The Washington Post and The New York Times covering the story. They’ve called it extreme cen sorship and administrative control. And that’s exactly what it is. This is the thing many student journalists, especially those in Nebraska, have been fearing for a long time. Every year, another school paper joins those that have been told what they can and can’t publish. Students are forced to speak with administrators, begging them to allow them to cover topics that they deem important It’s outrageous that, in the country that put the rights of the press in its First Amendment, this is something that can happen.

Unfortunately, since the 1988 Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier Supreme Court decision, high school ad ministrators have been given the right to censor their student press. That is, as long as their decision is “reasonably related to a legitimate pedological purpose.” In layman’s terms that means the decision must have a reasonable educational purpose.

by traveling

While spending her time run ning through five chiefs of staff, Noem also thought that maybe a bit of gluttonous spending on behalf of the taxpayers of South Dakota might be a good time. Noem spent $68 thousand on rugs imported from India, a chandelier and a sau na for the governor’s mansion. Now my personal favorite was when she paid a Minnesotan adver tising agency $449 thousand public funds to create everyone’s favorite campaign: “Meth. We’re on it.” Noem maintains that it was a successful campaign. However frankly, that campaign is hilarious and made a laughingstock of South Dakota. Noem has also spent $166,410 on a Californian company to do a review of the Department of Corrections operations. Either of these jobs could have been done just as well (or better in the case of the meth campaign) by instate companies that would have benefited the South Dakota’s economy. Which you would think she would be all for since that was part of the reasons, she wouldn’t shut down the state during COVID. Even when South Dakota had the country’s second most cases per capita. During her genius handling of COVID cases in the state she also spent the pandemic relief funds for the state to promote tourism. While South Dakotans were sick and dying, she was more worried about how we can convince more people to visit instead of taking care of ourNoemown.is also under investigation for nepotism in helping her daughter receive her real estate appraiser’s license. She has never publicly accepted Joe Biden’s presidential win after claiming that the 20220 presidential elections had wide spread voter fraud. And lastly, Noem signed a religious refusal bill into law making it so that business owners can choose not to provide goods or services due to religious reasons. While she has used her power to serve her and her family, she has repeatedly ignored the wants and needs of the people she is supposed to serve. Instead, as South Dakota’s first female governor, she has taken steps to make South Dakota serve her while walking itself back into the 50s.

Many of us have a lot of similar things to say; we’re getting our degree, we’re trying to save money, and we’re already tired of our classes in the first week. One of the most common conversations I’ve heard is the student’s desire to travel. What surprises me about this yearning among college students is how many haven’t had the opportunity to go through with it. Because of this, I’d like to stress the importance of travel, to incline you to see more of the world. Traveling can reduce your levels of stress, and increase your cultural awareness. I challenge you to journey to as many places as you can, and as soon as you can.Whether you spend your vaca tion time lounging on the beaches of Waikiki, hiking through the redwood forests of California, or exploring the unending sights of Japan, you’re going to grow. Travel and exploration forces a person to have new experiences whether they like it or not.

Throughout Kristie Noem’s reign as South Dakota’s governor, I’ve realized two things. One: I liked her as a governor a lot less than I thought I would. And two: she must think South Dakotans are dumb or blind. As Julie Andrews once sang, “Let’s start at the very beginning a very good place to start.” Noem started her governance in 2019 and immediately made what I would consider questionable calls. In her long list of interesting de cisions, she started with abolishing a law that required concealed carry permits in South Dakota. Which I think was a commonsense gun safe ty for everyone type of law. It was weird that she decided to do that, but it was something most people lookedThenpast.she vetoed a bill that would have legalized hemp in South Dakota, which more than half of South Dakotans were in favor of. Later, more ballot mea sures about legalizing marijuana were passed through to her to sign off on. She then yet again decided that the voice of the people she is supposed to represent wasn’t as im portant as her own and tried to block both measures from going through. Although she only succeeded with blocking one measure. This shows her blatant disregard for the voice of South Dakotans.
