MFA Art Exhibit.

Every year students in the Masters of Fine Arts degree at the University of Montana show off their work for the public. Larger-than-life ceramic figures by Kensuke Yamada call the Gallery of Visual Arts home for the next two weeks. UM News reporter Rose Stepanek and I look at how one student sculpts a new idea in his presentation.

Cheap Hunting Tags.

Cheap Hunting Tags from Carmen Ebert on Vimeo.

Out-of-state student hunters are reaping the benefits of this year's legislative session. Montana Senate Bill 185 lets these students buy hunting and fishing licenses at the same price as residents. Reporter Katrina Heser and I tell the story of one student who is saving money on tags and supporting his tight college budget.

Out of state students looking to buy the combination license need to bring their Griz card, proof of hunter's education, and a transcript to their nearest Fish, Wildlife and Parks office.

Red Cross Blood Drive.

Brawl of the Wild Blood Drive Challenge from Carmen Ebert on Vimeo.

The Red Cross of Montana sponsors a blood drive competition the week before the Brawl of the Wild Football game on each campus. Students have a chance to lift their sleeve and donate their part to help the school win a trophy. As reporter/photographer, I found that students don't have to put on pads to help the Grizzlies win the Brawl of the Wild.

Women's Weightlifting - UM News

Women on the University of Montana campus have a chance to work out in the weight room. Reporter Rose Stepanek and I attended a weightlifting class at the UM Fitness and Recreation Center instructed and attended by women. We came away finding that bicep curls are for the girls.
