The Lumberjacks finished the final day of the cham-pionship with six individual titles and a team title. When the final scores were tallied, the men’s team made a state-ment. The Lumberjacks shattered the the all-time Big Sky team scoring record by 31 points. The men claimed first with a score of 215 points and the women ended their in-door season in fourth place with 85 points. All four Lumberjacks competing in the men’s mile race claimed first through fourth place. Redshirt junior Diego Estrada crossed the finish line to seal the victory at 4:12.54. Redshirt seniors John Yatsko and Jordan Chipan-gama along with freshman Chris Ganem congratulated one another as they finished second (4:14.98), third (4:16.66) and fourth (4:16.71), respectively. “It was a team effort. We wanted to go one through four,” Estrada said. “When I got going, I figured I could close. First lap, I wanted to put it in the bank.” see TRACK page 21 BY ALLI JENNEY LUMBERJACKS TAKE HOME 10 INDIVIDUAL TITLES The progress of House Bill 2675 left nearly 100 students who attended the House Appropriations Committee meeting last week in dismay after learning the commit-tee approved the bill after a fiery debate. The bill would require students to pay $2,000 essentially out of pocket for tuition, in order to limit funds granted by state universities. Rep. John Kavanagh (R-Fountain Hills), the primary sponsor of the bill, said his goal is to encourage students to have “more skin in the game” when it comes to paying for col-lege. “There are certain negative consequences to this current policy,” Kavanagh said. “First, not everyone, but some people, take things they get for free less seriously. They become less se-rious students and some believe this contributes to the higher dropout rate we have at our universities.” The representative said he believes the college dropout bill changing tuition payment rules advances Bible study courses are one step closer to being an op-tion for students attending Arizona's high schools. On Feb. 21, House Bill 2563, introduced by Re-publican Rep. Terri Proud, was passed through the Arizona House by a 42-15 vote and will now go to the state Senate. The bill would allow public high schools to offer an elec-tive class called “The Bible and its Influence on Western Cul-ture.” The course offered would teach students the history and literature of the Old and New Testaments, as well as the Bible's influence on society, law, art and values. Zachary Smith, a political science professor, said the bill is another attempt by the state to micromanage classrooms. “Never underestimate the veracity of the Arizona legisla-ture to do something unexpected,” Smith said. “I know teach-ers in that state are already fed up with the number of man-dates and restrictions that they have on what they teach and how they teach.” Jason BeDuhn, a professor of religious studies at NAU, said in an email that to have a well-balanced system, there Legislation would bring Bible courses into public schools BY MARK SAUNDERS BY WILLIAM BROWN see BILL page 4 see BIBLE page 4 Redshirt seniors John Yatsko (Left), Jordan Chipangama (Right) and redshirt junior Diego Estrada (Center) pose at the podium after Saturday’s mile run during the Big Sky Conference Championships.
