    Students who were enjoying a late lunch were dramatically interrupted as Stephan “Cowboy” Perry, a sophomore, crashed through one of the windows in the Green & Gold Cafeteria on Wednesday Feb. 2.  

    Perry, who was hanging a decorated bed sheet to promote the Saturday Feb. 5 Pink Zone Basketball game outside of the cafeteria, lost his balance on the chair he was standing on.  Perry, who is known by his peers as “Cowboy”, leaned to the left as he was trying to get the sheet to hang from a corner, when the chair moved from under him. As he lost his balance, he fell, landing half in and half out of the window.

    The event was witnessed by juniors Seth Patton and Logan Roberts. According to Patton and Roberts, the chair that Perry was standing on began to wobble, causing him to fall out the window.

    “It was the coolest thing I’ve seen this semester,” said Patton, a biology and chemistry major.

    Several witnesses were shocked that Perry appeared unharmed by the fall. He managed to escape with only one small scratch. Perry was not harmed in the fall, and was relaxed about the whole ordeal.

     “I was kinda shocked I wasn’t cut or gashed or something,” said Cowboy.

Military spouses wait out deployments

 A life can change with a phone call, a plane ticket or a knock at the door.

For someone married to, engaged to or seriously involved with a person in the military, extreme transitions in lifestyle happen at a moment’s notice. A phone call or a knock at the door can mean the unthinkable for the partner of a soldier.

The University of North Carolina and the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences examined medical records of 250,000 women married to active-duty soldiers. The study found that women whose husbands were deployed from one to 11 months were more likely to suffer from depressive disorders, sleep disorders, anxiety and acute stress reaction and adjustment disorders.

This study demonstrates that the burden of deployment can severely affect partners as well as soldiers. Having the tools and the ability to manage the stress and emotions of deployment is crucial to overcoming psychological and physical obstacles.

Staci Chiomento, a military spouse for eight years, and a former soldier, recalls the moment when representatives of the U.S. Army knocked on her door to inform her that her husband had been killed in action in Iraq.
