Crystal Vigil, a senior psychology major, takes the Collegian hat for a ride as she spins on the ice at Edora Pool Ice Center (EPIC) Friday, December 7, 2007. Turn to page ?? to to read Vigil's responses to questions about being a competitive ice skater, student and more.

The big, yellow hat is spinning on ice this week to keep up with graduating senior Crystal Vigil. Vigil is a psychology and sociology major with an emphasis in criminology. The Collegian sat down with Vigil and learned of her goal of joining the FBI, history of philanthropy and passion for figure skating. Vigil's next stop: Miss Congeniality on Ice?

Q: How long have you been ice skating?

A: I was a figure skater for almost 10 years. I quit when I was in high school because the practices were so early in the morning, and I was going to have to be at school at 7 in the morning and I'd have to go ice skating before that. That was just killer. Then I started taking the (ice skating) class this semester and then started doing a lot of stuff again.

Q: What is the ice skating class that is offered at CSU like?

A: It's really fun. There are three instructors and they have it split up between the advanced, the beginner and the people in the middle (skill level). It's nice because there's a lot of individual attention and they do stuff like ice dancing and 'synchro'.

Q: Are you a part of either of those?

A: Yeah, I'm part of the synchronized skating team.

Q: Is that affiliated with CSU?

A: Yes. It's really weird because it's the first semester that they've done it, so technically it's a club sport but you have to go a year before it gets officially recognized by the school.

Q: When did you start skating for the team?

A: It started the second week of September.

Q: Tell me more about that.

A: We started out doing a fun program for the hockey team, and we were performing between periods at least at a couple hockey games. We started putting together a competition piece. It's like an Irish kind of one and so it's kind of flowy. … So that will be fun. Hopefully we'll be competing in the spring because that's the big competition season.
