By Ryan Horlen Evergreen staff Fourteen years ago, Oregon passed its Death With Dignity act. This controversial piece of legislation gave certain ter- minally ill patients the option to receive life-ending medica- tion. Oregon is still the only state with such a law in place. A nearly identical piece of legislation will be placed on the Washington state ballot this year. I-1000, if passed, will give terminally ill, men- tally sound patients the option to end their own life with a lethal dose of medication.

As one of two division 1 sports at Colorado College, this venue provides great entertainment for fans of the Colorado College Tigers. There have not been any studies to examine why and how the World Arena maintains such a successful rate of attendance. An Ordinary Least Squares Regression is used to determine which factors are significant in affecting attendance at Tiger Hockey Games. Ticket sales are used as a proxy for measuring attendance. Using two different models, results show that playing The Air Force Academy, being regular season champions, making it to the NCAA tournament and making it to the Frozen Four tournament are most significant in increasing attendance. Other variables that were also significant are penalty minutes.

    Huiberts s4502612/ 1 Huiberts s4502612/ 2 Abstract The electronic sports (esports) market is a growing global market that has peaked the interest of American higher education insitutions. Though the debate about esports’ elegibility of being an actual sport is still ongoing, some brave American universities and students have embraced the possibility of esports in a collegiate setting, whether as a student run-organization or a varsity sport. The development of esports in a collegiate setting is a rapid one and without a proper map of the current status of the phenomenon much potential is, especially as a marketing tool for universities is lost. This thesis aims to explore the potential role of esports in the process of the reconfiguration and intergration of American public and non-profit institutions of higher education into the dominant knowledge-based economy. By employing an academic capitalist perspective and analysing the functions within higher education marketization that the collegiate American football programs and collegiate League of Legends programs (LoL) have developed due to their existence in the changing American society. By doing this, the current study examines wether the adoption of the new, young branch of sports called esports into the higher education athletics department is one that is logical and profitable from a marketing perspective. Does this young newcomer have what it takes to take the stage among the champions of the past? Key words: esports, American football, League of Legends, collegiate athletics, academic capitalism Huiberts s4502612/ 3 Contents Abstract 2 Contents 3 Introduction 4 1.

    It is a difficult task to review the past athletic seasons with the future in the uncertain state that it is. The war has greatly affected our school and its extra-curricular activities both directly and indi' rectly. Perhaps the branch most seriously hurt is that listed as athletics. Looking into the future, the coaches can only plan and pray that when the sea' son rolls around for their sport enough able-bodied men will remain to form a team to be put on the field. Already, players have been drafted, train space given to the army, and gas has been rationed—all of which tend to force athletics into the background. Yet one of the most essential cogs in any branch of our armed forces is the type of quick thinking and perfectly coordinated person that only athletic train' ing and competition can turn out. The army, navy, and marines have been fostering physical fitness pro- grams, and these services have voiced the opinion that athletics should not only continue, but flourish. So, in reviewing the next few pages, let's not be' moan the fact that our stars have enlisted or been drafted. Rather, let's look forward to a bigger and brighter athletic future.

Having not had much experience with a residential university community in the past, it has been a real eye opener to see just how far collegiate leaders and staff go to ensure that every resident feels supported and right at home in their college. Each college has its own unique qualities, just as its residents do, and it’s these unique qualities that help to nurture and guide academic achievements, encourage community pride and develop a healthy sense of competition both within and between the colleges. A perfect example of this community pride and competition is the annual Inter-College Sport and Cultural Competition. Every collegiate community comes together to battle for glory and bragging rights, whether it be on the field, the court, on the stage or big screen.
