If you don't think you know me, you've probably at least seen me around in the residence halls, taking your order at the cafeteria or the Golden Grille, or hunting down a story for the newspaper. I do a lot, but back to the basics. It's funny how life can come at you from behind. Honestly, a year ago I was aching to get out of here - Price, CEU, Utah, the whole bit. Not that I'm unprepared for the great wide open, but when I pack up my things and make the final drive through the spring-tinged canyon, I will definitely spend some time looking out my rear window. When I first arrived in Carbon County, Price was a conundrum. I was caught between the exquisite beauty of the landscape and my longing for the big (or just a bigger) city. I had never lived in a town where Walmart wasn't open 24/7 and where most venues close before 9 p.m. That aside, my first year wasn't the best freshman year on record and I mostly kept to myself with the excuse "I'm too shy for such and such person or activity." Still, I learned that I loved living in a dorm, despite my hermit tendencies, and that Kundalini Yoga with Tayraa Singh was my favorite thing in the world. Visiting the old folks at Parkdale care center was fun too, with kind old ladies and an old man who joked about being hit by a car and breaking his hip, the reason for his stay at the center, being the highlight. My sophomore year was when college actually started to be fun! I scored a job as a Resident Assistant (or Advisor, depending on who you ask) in Aaron Jones and the position of editor-in-chief at the good ol' Eagle newspaper, shaking in my boots the first few weeks. I've never chanted "I can do this, I can do this" to myself so many times. I grew a lot through both positions, despite my apprehension. After doing check-ins, I realized that I couldn't really humiliate myself more, since I had already checked people into their rooms and ran off with their keys and took five minutes to find their hallway lights, so I didn't have much to worry about. After meeting the out-of-this-world cool Eagle staff (and a few familiar faces), I figured they probably would still like me even if I completely sucked as an editor. I was still a little unsure of myself, but I was beginning to enjoy the ride. If it's not too cliché, I'd like to leave you all with some advice. First- If you live in the residence halls, get to know your RA's. We took this job because we want to help you out and actually care about you and your life, so it's really just a win-win situation for everyone involved. It's also a plus to have a friendly face involved if you find yourself in a less-than-glamorous situation (Do not play with scalpels. You have been warned.) Second- Even though you may be trying to be a good citizen by emptying out the full cans of beer laying around the garbage so nobody would snag them, remember to take into account that beer is a carbonated beverage and is liable to spray its content all over you and leave you reeking of alcohol, which looks really bad if you're an RA and wearing your residential life t-shirt. Not that I speak from experience or anything... Third, get to know Susan and the rest of the Eagle staff. I can't vouch for the kids next year, but generally the newspaper attracts some pretty awesome characters. At any rate, it's not a good idea to make the staff angry because we can find ways back at you that are protected by the constitution, not to be threatening or anything. Fourth, while the caf may not be the hippest place to hang, the workers are just all-around funny and welcoming people. It's not a bad place to work, either, if I do say so myself. Lastly, being involved on CEUSA, as an ambassador or RA or SUN center leader will make life better, and I can vouch for that. There are very few schools where even a small leadership position can make such an impact and shape what goes on in such a big way. While it's hard to believe, it's time to say goodbye to a place I've grown to love so much. It's time to hand in my key to my second home, the eagle staff office, and to move my belongings out of AJ for the last time. I don't even feel like the same person, the girl who once laid out near the water fountain, wondering how she landed in a place so different from home. Still, all the unforgettable people, experiences, knowledge and gifts (both internal and external) I've received from this school don't come free. If the ache in my heart and some painful goodbyes are the price I have to pay for a place that's wound its way into my mind and heart, then I'm grateful to pay it.

CEU stuck with Western Nevada throughout the series but could not put a whole game together to get a win. They then faced Colorado Northwestern Community College in Price and finally got the four wins they desperately needed.

A litany that we may never be forgotten and remembered as heroes and someone that perhaps maybe, just maybe you might one day relate others to us. As the sophomores say their long drawn out handkerchief goodbyes and forget-me-nots I feel that there is something more to be said than; it's been a treat and quite a ride. I have grown more as a person, than I have academically I will admit, I have used this column as more of a journal. Streaming thoughts that I could ramble on for long enough to finally have something to hand in. Only then look back either in dismay or general relief that my editorial was finished. I hope more than anything, I kept you entertained, whether I was on a soapbox or using satire to remain on everyone's radar long enough to have meetings held in my honor. Through it all I hope you opened an issue looking for something that I had done, I know I did every other Thursday. I want to entertain you, I want to change you and I want to keep you guessing, if you've ever been fortunate enough to stumble into the little theatre on campus any given Thursday night at 6 p.m., you would have stumbled onto something that has felt more like an underground club that only the people in the know are keen to. Actors on the Spot is known to the 40 people of regular attendance as the best thing that you are potentially missing, if you've been to a show at any point in the past year, thank you. If you haven't you have a couple of weeks to rectify that wrong, but you can pretend that you've been there for every single show and we'd still love you the same. Campus legend, Randon Kerr, would agree that Actors on the Spot is the one place that makes Thursdays the best day of the week.

Not long out of high school I got my dream job. I was the guy that performed laser shows in planetariums. You know: Laser Floyd, Laser Zeppelin, the kind of thing young people, hippies and stoners love. And not long after that...I was the guy that dreamed up the imagery and was a member of a team of engineers, animators and designers that created planetarium laser light shows. One day I was sitting at my desk in my office working...and when I say working I mean I had headphones on and was listening to David Bowie's song Ashes to Ashes with a pad of paper writing my ideas for imagery. As it frequently happened...the more I listened...the more I heard until the design of the song seemed natural and obvious. I wrote it down and as I did...I realized I earned my living by using my brain and my imagination. It was quite a revelation and I understood that being able to use my mind to earn a living meant that I could do my job even if my body broke down or got old or whatever. The only problem was...laser shows lost their popularity. So when I say I am living my life a little backwards I mean I have already had an awesome job, and now I am in college to gain the education for another awesome job. With that in mind...this is my toast to the students of CEU: Take summers off and do something big. Backpack through Europe, walk across America, produce a record, follow your bliss. Fall in love but don't get married. Stay free for awhile. Do the wild stuff you want to do (as long as it doesn't hurt anyone of course). See New York City, hang out in Paris, and learn how a big city operates...live and work in one for awhile...even if you don't intend to stay. Once you can find your way around and make it in a big city...you can make it anywhere. Continue your formal education. Don't get caught up in the city or adventure such that you stop your education. Remember the prize...earning your living using your mind and imagination. Thanks especially to the students that have made college so fun...you know who you are. You are the ones I teased the most (the ones I snapped like a twig) ...the ones I have worked with, suffered with and studied with...the ones I couldn't and can't live without. Thank you for your support and camaraderie. I love you forever. This goes doubly for The Eagle newspaper staff. Thanks to the instructors of CEU. If I have had a class from you...thank you. I know it's sappy (but that is the kind of guy I am) but how do you thank the people that have changed your life? I will never forget my first class on my first day, English 1010 from Larry Severied. I am sure none of the other students will forget that class either. Larry, thanks for all the good times...in and out of the classroom. To all my instructors...thank you for sharing your expertise and enthusiasm with me. Without a doubt the reason CEU is a great school is because of you. Thanks to the staff, administration, coaches and also the staff of the department of continuing education. It has been a blast to be on the staff of The Eagle. I have enjoyed observing and writing about events on campus and especially taking pictures of all of you. I wish you could see yourselves as I see you. Susan Polster has been there for me throughout my entire time at CEU. Susan, thank you. Congratulations to the graduating class of 2009.

But, when one takes the time to truly contemplate this past year, that person will uncover a treasure chest accumulated of life-long friendships, healthy relationships with teachers, and entertainment that can only be found in Paradise Price. As I have reflected upon this past year I have gained a much greater appreciation for what I had thought was a pretty lame place to go to school. Granted Price does not offer the same kinds of social events as the schools in bigger cities, but it is not the events that are remembered, it is the relationships you have with others. Having the opportunity to get to know a majority of the students is a trademark of CEU and cannot be accomplished at the bigger schools. This reason, as many will agree, has made this past year a success. On top of the relationships with fellow peers, the opportunity to have teachers that know who you are and are willing to work with you individually, has made this past year at CEU very convenient. Occasionally, there is a teacher that is so biased and politically polluted that they seem to discriminate against the ideas and free minds of their students. But overall the teachers have been fantastic this year and offered avenues of success in our educational endeavors. Anyone familiar with college life understands that academics are just part of the experience. Having fun is the core element in any successful collegiate career. There is a common phrase that lingers in the minds of the entertainment entrepreneurs at CEU. It is always attached with a realization that Price doesn't offer much entertainment. The phrase is, "You have to make your own fun at CEU." This statement, of truth I might add, if grasped and carried through at CEU, would alleviate the pains of any student with a case of the CEU blues. I can think of many instances where nothing to do was replaced with exciting and very entertaining activities that I would have never done unless I was at CEU. I have only listed a few of the many positives aspects of the CEU journey. There are many others that you will think of as you truly reflect upon the experiences and relationships that you have had this last year. The only thing that I would ask, for those of us that will be back next year, is that we continue to make CEU an enjoyable oasis in the midst of a dull and uneventful desert.

What is happening? First, a personal note. I am leaving Price. In the next few weeks, I'll pack my bags to serve an LDS Church mission in Morristown, NJ, just a stone's heave from NYC. It's a Spanish-speaking mission, from what I've heard, poor and gang-ridden, and I'm feeling quite the mixture of emotions. I'm sure I'll be back at CEU , but the real question is, will CEU be the same place in two years? As I am wrinting this, I have a press release on my desk in the newspaper room stating that the Board of Regents are bringing up the "M," talk again: merger. No, this isn't NBC's "The Office," this is the real world, not some scripted Hollywood show. Utah's system of higher education is substituting the word "affiliation" instead of "merger," but we understand what's at stake here: CEU as we know it. This time around, it looks as though CEU will be pitted against not only Utah State in the merger, but Snow College as well. Historically, merging two schools usually ends up pairing a four-year school with a two-year school, but this time, it may mean pairing a two-year school with another. The press release states athletics will be safe, so let's take that at face value. The bigger question remains. What will CEU look like? Will the Utah State Legislature clean house? Sponsor a fire-sale? Will I come back to any familiar faces? I hope the familiar faces will be here. CEU has a great faculty and staff. If it ain't broke, as the saying goes, don't merge it. The real answer to my question is that nobody knows. But there must be a reason beyond talking about the weather that former CEU President Mike Petersen is starting his rounds of interviews of students, faculty, staff and community members. Don't be surprised someday in the near future if CEU becomes Utah State University – Price. Get used to saying, "USUP." Kind of rolls off the tongue. Merging colleges has been tried before. The whole public college system in California is modeled that way. UC-Berkely. UC-Davis. UC-Riverside. And the most famous of all the California public schools, UCLA, plus a bunch of others. It's been done in smaller states, such as Montana, where Eastern Montana College became Montana State University – Billings. We can all be smart about this, by taking small steps and thinking outside of the box. CEU can't control the economy, but what we can do is take away the "economy excuse" and thrive. Currently, many schools are thriving in this economy, especially community colleges. Take a look at the April 6 edition of USA Today, which features the phenomena of small, public schools bucking economic trends. How are they doing it? By cutting the fat, the crutches they lean on, the extra things they don't need. It comes back to the simple business technique of taking something that costs 60 cents and squeezing a nickel out of that to bring the price to 55 cents. Re-thinking and saving here and there will help us in the long run. I met with Commissioner Siderburg, former President Peterson and interim President Mike King. During the meeting, Commissioner Siderburg kept referring to an affiliation/merger he had experienced in Michigan. The merger worked, he said, but both schools were vastly different. One was an art school, the other was a technical school. What worked in Michigan may not work in Utah. I'm unsure just what Snow would bring to the deal. Yes, CEU would benefit in some ways with Utah State as a strong partner, but it also might make CEU a farm team for the Aggies. Remember, it was only five months ago that this issue was addressed and the conclusion was that it was not a good plan for "the immediate future." What has changed in five months? Okay, that's the academic side of it, and a bit of business mixed in. Let's talk now about sports. The future of CEU athletics is bright. Our men's basketball team got second in a very tough conference and defeated the eventual national champs more than once this year. Actually, change a few questionable calls, and maybe two more baskets go our way, and CEU might be waving a national championship banner. Sure this year's strong core will be gone, but the best kept secret is about to come out. We have Vander Joaquim, a mid-year transfer who originally signed with Nebraska, as a Golden Eagle. Vander was a top 100 recruit by scout.com and espn.com. And the basketball coaches are excellent recruiters, so they'll bring in some other players who can run up and down the court with Young Mr. Joaquim. Our volleyball coach has two top Brazilian national players coming to Carbon County next year. Baseball has pulled in its best talent since Coach Madsen took over ten years ago, including the imminent signing of some top players in the region. CEU's women s basketball team returns a formidable core of players from last year's squad. In 2011, CEU could easily snag a national championship and several conference titles. The outlook is that bright. CEU needs to take care of its athletic legacy. For example, what about celebrating our past championships? Upstairs in the newspaper room there are two bookcases full of national trophies earned by the CEU cheerleaders. (Okay, some of you will argue that cheerleading is not a sport, but it is part of the school's athletic heritage, so I'm going to skip right over your protests.) The trophies need to be displayed. With pride. What about the expansion of CEU's BDAC? It has been in the master plan for decades now, but lacks funding. If $480,000 can be raised in 11 months for the Dino-Park , I am 100% sure we can get some money around for an indoor facility/expansion of the BDAC. Across the nation both small colleges and community colleges are partnering up with local high schools to help fund new facilities. It saves money, and benefits more people. Carbon High School, anyone? Okay, on to the last topic. It's been a great year here for me. My parents were skeptical about me attending college in Price, Utah, but I can't imagine a better fit. And some of you deserve a big "thanks" for helping me out. And I know that many students can say the same thing. So here's a tip of my baseball cap to Terry Johnson, the beast, who always made me feel more than just another student. Snow College has three Ambassador advisers. We have Terry. And he probably gets more done than all of them. And a thanks to Ron Vogel, who, in a chance meeting with my dad in Provo, pushed me a little farther along the road to Price. I also want to thank Coach Scott Madsen. I had a string of nightmare experiences with small-minded high school coaches/athletic directors who thought they were all ready to manage the New York Yankees or be the AD at Notre Dame. Coach Madsen gave me a chance. That is all I wanted. And there are many others who I should give a shout to, but I'm already way over on my word count. So to good friends (Devin Bybee,Brad Brinkerhoff,Mike Gingell & my teammates), good roommates (DrewSuf/Gusty Windy Boy,Brandt-a-lant,Unze,Kam-a-roon,E-stephen) good teachers(Icards,Frank Ori,Susan Polster, Susan Polster again, Ms. Nelson and Katie Jo for math help) and administrators ( Todd Olsen, Terry Johnson, Dean Alex Herzog ), you have my thanks. You all have taught me beyond what I could learn from books. Well, CEU, Utah State University-Price, College of Eastern Snow College, or whatever it will be in a few years, I thank you for reading my articles and giving me a shot to have fun and be myself. See you in '011, kids. Or shall I say, "Nos vemos en unos cuantos anos." Best of luck to you all. Contributed by: K.C.
