Swoop on a tricycle Bookstore disperses tickets By Lorna Hartman staff writer [email protected]

With a total of 3,500 tickets to the Mackl- emore concert available and 3,515 voters in the ASEWU general election, students are wondering if they will be able to get a ticket. Berto Cerrillo, adviser for campus pro- grams, does not think that everyone who voted will pick up a ticket. According to Cerrillo and Conor Gregg, ASEWU director of elections, on May 13 the bookstore expe- rienced a rush on the voter tickets. Gregg said that about 2,000 tickets were issued on May 13, first day of voter ticket availability. “But [on May 14], the line was very ca- sual, maybe 30 or 40 every hour. It was a steady pace but not too intense,” Gregg said. Nonvoter tickets are available at the book- store through May 30 during bookstore hours. “When we created the negotiation in the first place, it was meant to be a smaller con- cert for students because of the incentive the ASEWU was trying to create,” Cerrillo said. “Our initial numbers were lower, and we re- cently had to get approval from Macklemore and pay additional funds to increase the seat- ing and accommodate more people.” The original seating capacity for the con- cert was to be 2,000, according to the origi- Photo by Sam Sargeant nal proposal, but this was increased to 3,500 Swoop races Mike Collison around the track at Roos Field on May 15.

In discussions with EWU staff in charge of the facility, Cerrillo said that the increased 3,500 seating capacity was never a safety concern and is in full safety compliance. According to Gregg, students who have Quarters questioned questions about elections or tickets should email him at [email protected], and Semesters not seen as worth the trouble or expense he will answer the question or pass it to the proper individual.

Senior basketball players Kev- in Winford and Carrie Ojeda will be the first to admit they were quite the handful as they entered Eastern their freshman year. Since then, they have grown to be poised, humble and suc- cessful — traits they credit to playing college basketball. “When I got here, I had a re- ally bad attitude. You’re going to have to be put in your place, and I definitely needed that,” Ojeda said. “I became a more ma- ture player that was easier to be around and coach.” Winford agreed. “It was a humbling experience, and I ma- tured and realized it takes more than just talent to play at the col- lege level. Everybody grows up. I’ll admit I was kind of a show- boat,” he said. “I think college basketball has helped me grow into the person I am today.” Winford looked back on his past five years and listed his basketball highlights: the rivalry games against the University of Montana and the game on Dec. 4, Photo by Aaron Malmoe 2010 against New Hope in which Center Carrie Ojeda fights for a shot in the key during the Feb. 21, 2013, game against Portland State University. he scored 38 points and set the school record for 3-point shots the option of playing professional- ing to figure out what’s right for me,” business degree.

Though officially a club for less than a year, the Eastern com- petition dance team placed first in three separate events on May 12 in the Move Productions competition in Spokane. Sophomore Teala Spring, creator and president of the club, said the team has practiced since October, and this was their first competition. Because the club is still in its early stages, their fund- ing is not as high as some of the other clubs on campus. Because of this, the club had to register for the competition as a studio rather than as a university. Despite this, the team was still able to make its mark, placing first in the hip-hop category, pom category and contemporary category. The moments before the first competition, the nerves on the team were peaking, and junior Caitlind Douglass began feeling the pressure of performing. “I was like, ‘I’m going to puke. I can’t do this,’” Douglass said. “I was just so stressed out in my mind.” According to Spring, the team did not have much time in be- tween their first two routines, the contemporary and the pom, to get ready. Hairstyles needed to be adjusted, costumes needed to be changed and makeup needed to be redone. “Luckily we had one of our girl’s moms in there helping wrap people’s hair and change costumes,” Spring said. “It’s kind of a stressful situation.” Before their third and final routine, hip-hop, the team had more time to take in the situation. “We were able to calm down, and in hip-hop we’re the stron- gest in right now,” Spring said. “That one was a lot more relaxed because we’re more comfortable with hip-hop.” While Spring picked the songs for all three dances, she only choreographed the hip-hop and contemporary and had help from another member choreographing the other routine.
