There was some new machinery in the field behind Tarble Arts Center Thursday. On Eastern’s ROTC Day, people gath- ered around to watch a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter take off. The blades spun progressively faster as grass clippings swept out underneath people when the helicopter lifted off the ground. This is the first time the helicopter has been at ROTC Day, an event at Eastern since 1980. “Since then, over 180 cadets have graduated,” said Maj. David John. John said the event is not really a recruitment tool. Its primary service is to show what ROTC has to offer. “It sounds like a good deal, the scholarship money and a lot of opportunities.

Pictures of these and a plethora of her other projects are available on her web site, www.blacksmithchick.com, which also offers resources for blacksmiths, pictures and captions of Sims working in her shop. “She is well on her way to being one of the top female blacksmiths in the country,” Knoop said. Sims often hosts tours of her studio, or her “smithy” as she calls it, for classroom fieldtrips, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and 4-H Clubs. She also teaches workshops and beginning-blacksmithing classes to women.

FOOTBALL WOMEN’S SOCCER Panthers, Tigers meet once more But this time it’s futbol, not football as Eastern takes on Missouri, who was ranked No. 25 in the national polls
