Last weekend the History 465: Processes in North American West class travelled to Laramie, Wyo., for a conference sponsored by Phi Alpha Pheta and the UW History Club.

The “Art by Independents” gallery show reception took place from 4-6 p.m., Friday, in Memorial Hall’s Main Gallery. The show is to remain on display through Friday. It was put on by the seniors of the art department as a way to showcase their art to the public. These seniors include Rob Heckman of Crawford, Christina Ferrero of Bayard, Julya Briseno of Kenosha, Wis., and Macee Kellner of Bucklin, Kan.

Glowing neon puppets lit up the night on Memorial Hall’s main stage, Thursday evening, The creations belong to Lightwire Theatre Company, and Shellie Johns brought the New Orleans-based team to Chadron as a part of the Galaxy Series events. Lightwire, on tour across America, brought two classic children’s tales, “The Ugly Duckling” and “The Tortoise and The Hare,” to life.

When most people think of traveling, they imagine sightseeing, opening the airplane window shade and seeing the beauty of the clouds below, and even the relaxation (or stress) that is ahead.

A cool spring night in Chadron played host to eight- time world champion roper Fred Whitfield, Thursday, with speaking about his career and his new book, “Gold Buckles Don’t Lie: The Untold Tale of Fred Whitfield.”

The Big Tower of Power, sponsored by the RLA and The Big Event, took over High Rise Friday night from 6-9 p.m. to give the students a fun activity and the opportunity to sign up for the Big Event.

The dead have invaded every facet of media: in books, movies, television, and comics, zombies run rampant.
