The RiverHawks are going to have their individual meetings for the end of the season. This is the time when the coach talks to every player and to tell them if they are going to make the team or not.
“I will start with the position players and then I will talk to the pitchers. I will talk to them about their work and how they improve in the preseason, and how hard they did work on their weakness; also I will have to make some cuts to make the final team. We can’t have the entire player. I gave them a fear opportunity to get better, and make the team. Now are the last days and the hard workers will have the opportunity to make the baseball team,” said NSU Head Coach Sergio Espinal.
The individual meeting will be the last week of the school. Every player will have their own time to go and talk to the coach.
The meetings will start Dec. 6, 2010. After that the preseason will be done and the team will be ready for their coming season beginning Feb. 4, 2011.

Students prepare Christmas wish list
By Brooke Murdock
Everybody has a list around this time of year. The Greeks at NSU are no different. They have been waiting patiently for this time of year since school started in August.
Greeks like Jordyn Jorgensen, Muskogee sophomore are researching and scoping out the Internet for what they want for Christmas this year.
“My list consists of anything from the Lilly Pulitzer Line. It is like the Vera Bradley for sororities,” said Jorgensen.
Daniel Adney, Oktaha junior has a list a little bit different. He has one thing on his mind for Christmas.
“I want hunting stuff,” said Adney.
The president of Delta Zeta has a lengthy list of different items that spark her interest. She is looking forward to reading most of them.
“I would like 'The Shack' by Paul Young, 'The Time Traveler’s Wife,' and 'The Old Man and the Sea,' said Elizabeth Bell, Antlers senior.

Brown prepares for duck season
By Blake Harris
For some NSU students, their Christmas break will be quite eventful. One of those students is A.J. Brown, Coweta sophomore. Brown will go duck hunting over his Christmas break. Brown will hunt when the second part of duck season starts Dec. 11.
Brown hunts in some area ponds of Porter and Haskell. He also hunts the Arkansas river and in some soybean fields. It is quite a process to go duck hunting, there is much too it. Placing decoys and calling the ducks with calls are just to name a few of the things that make duck hunting a task. Brown will stay in Tahlequah to work most of his break but every chance he gets to hunt he is going to take.
“I get two weekends off from work, one weekend is the opening weekend of duck season and the other is Christmas and I will be duck hunting both weekends, guaranteed,” said Brown.

Students should consider winter travel safety
By Nicole Cagle
As the fall 2010 semester at NSU ends, student will pack up and head home to their families. Now that winter weather has rolled in many students need to prepare for bad road conditions on their drives home.
“Driving in winter weather; snow, ice, wet and cold, creates a great challenge for vehicles and drivers. Keeping your vehicle in good technical repair reduces your overall chances for any mishap or disaster while driving, particularly in winter weather,” according to the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety website.
But what are students supposed to look at to prepare their vehicle? The CCOHS website goes on to state that to give a vehicle a complete checkup check the electrical system (battery, ignition and lights), brakes, tires, exhaust system, heating/cooling system, windshield wipers, fuel, and to pack a winter driving kit.
The winter driving kit is used to help in emergencies. CCOHS suggest it should include a properly fitted tire chains, bag of sand (salt or kitty litter), traction mats, snow shovel, snow brush, ice scraper, booster cables, warning devices, fuel line de-icer, windshield wiper fluid, roll of paper towels, flashlight and batteries, a blanket, extra clothing, first aid kit, snacks (food and water), matches and candles, road maps, and a call police or other help signs.
With this vehicle checkup and driving kit any student is prepared for possible unexpected road conditions.

Students prepare for Christmas break
By Robert Pinion
Christmas Break, something that all students look forward to, and something that comes so quickly after Thanksgiving. Students all over campus are excited to start going home, and relaxing for a month before they start another full semester of school. Some are graduating, some are getting started on their major classes, and others are just getting started.
Having the time to sit and recollect the semester and what happened is a good way to see what went wrong and how to change it. Maybe it was study habits or not being social enough, or possibly just too busy for ones liking.
“I’m sort of excited, I will be working all break,” said DJ Purcell, Tulsa sophomore. “I will probably be spending time with the family because I don’t get to see them very often.”
