Choosing a class schedule can be very stressful or very easy. The time is nearing when students have to make the decision to choose which classes they need to take aside from the classes they want to take.
Depending on the major, selecting classes can be a breeze. Trying to fit classes in certain time slots can be the hardest thing.
“I'm having a hard time trying to make sure I get in all the classes I need to graduate in the spring,” said Tiffany Natividad, Vian senior.
New semester schedules are out now in various places around campus. Seniors can start enrolling Monday, Oct. 25 and juniors Monday, Nov. 1 and sophomores and continuing freshmen Monday, Nov. 8.
“I'd like to say it gets easier as you go on, but that really isn't the case,” said Natividad.

Softball team begins offseason work
By April Roye
The NSU RiverHawk softball team begins their offseason practices.
The fall season has ended and the intense practicing has begun for the RiverHawk squad. Conditioning, weight training and longer practices are a part of their daily routine.
“Practices are a lot more intense than they were last year. I think it’s probably because our team is looking better and our chemistry is much stronger,” said Cayce Coleman, sophomore pitcher.
With the team improving, the tougher practices make the team work that much harder on tweaking their swing, lifting more weight or even strengthening the team bond.
Every player has an individual goal, but overall the team is working toward one goal and that is a successful season. The offseason is the time to get better and improve the little things.
“The awesome work ethic of everyone makes practices more enjoyable because everyone is working really hard all of the time,” said Coleman.

Underground serves students for multiple purposes
The Underground, the food court located in the basement of the Tahlequah campus UC, is the place to be, throughout the day. Students gather there to quickly study for an upcoming test, watch highlights of their favorite sports or to catch up with friends.
“I come down here a few times a week, sometimes I eat and sometimes I just hang out,” said Delaney Tusia, Fort Gibson freshman.
At times the Underground may be crowded and noisy, but it remains the chosen hangout of several students and faculty alike.
“My study group meets down here before tests, we eat and go over any questions we have with the study guide for that class,” said Tusia.
Complete with flat screen TV’s, a variety of eateries and wireless Internet for students; it is not hard to see how the Underground has rapidly become a campus favorite.
Ross Hall promotes breast cancer awareness
By Robert Pinion
Breast cancer awareness has been made apparent all over campus. It means so much to people that others are educated about breast cancer.
The most decorated place for breast cancer awareness seems to be Ross Hall. The brains behind the donated bras hanging from the ceiling must be Darrin Priest, manager of Ross Hall. This year he has decided to promote breast cancer awareness by dying his hair pink.
“It’s just a passion of mine, I don’t really have the words to explain it," said Priest. “I love supporting it because it is such a big issue that mainly affects women but can also affect men.

'Magic' packs the house
By Nicole Cagle
While many students may not know what Magic: The Gathering is, it has many fans in the Oklahoma area and has impacted Nerd Town Emporium in a good way.
“Magic: The Gathering (colloquially Magic or MTG) is a collectible card game created by mathematics professor Richard Garfield and introduced in 1993 by Wizards of the Coast,” according to Wikipedia.
When Nerd Town Emporium opened their doors they scheduled one day for magic events and other events/games had their own day. However, looking at their schedule magic events are Wednesdays and Saturdays.
“It started out with just one day so we could have one day for each event. And it turned out that people really really like to play and there are a lot of people who play Magic,” said Regina Kirby, CEO of Nerd Town Emporium.
Wednesday evenings are magic events depending on what the players want to do. The choices are Elder Dragon Highlander, Standard, Booster Draft or Legacy at 4 p.m. On Saturday it is by rotation with the events being Booster Draft, Standard or Legacy at 3 p.m.
“Packed house. Whenever they do a booster draft it is full, there is no place to sit,” said Kirby.
Although Magic event nights are scheduled for Wednesday and Saturday, anybody can come on open days to hang out, play Magic, or learn a new game.
For more information on Magic, other events, and games Nerd Town Emporium is open Monday through Saturday noon to 8 p.m.
Their number is (918) 431-1997 and located at 113 Spring St. Suite A, behind the NSU off-campus bookstore.

NSU Improv gets a new name
By James Bagwell
The NSU Improv Comedy team has been working on a new name for weeks. After much discussion, and many names to consider, they have finally come to the conclusion that their name will be Homemade Fireworks.
“The name came to us the day that we were going to vote, even after several other names had been put on the list to consider,” said Jeremiah Stuart, Eufaula senior. “We were literally sitting around talking about how to make homemade fireworks, and it just stuck.”
Some of the other names up for consideration were Impossibly Improvable, Ape Sauce, Boner Patrol and Vanilla Funk, just to name a few.
Not only did the team finalize their name, but they also set a date for their first show. So mark your calendars for Nov. 6, the show will be in the Webb Auditorium.
