Garcia resigns from Senate

By Ben Miller
A senator resigned from the undergraduate student Senate on Wednesday due to scheduling conflicts, continuing a trend of such issues among upper-classmen senators, Juan Garcia a student government ofcial said. College of Liberal Arts Sen. Juan Garcia was facing possible punitive action from the Associated Students of the University of Nevada Senate for missing ve committee and general session meetings, Speaker of the ASUN Senate Joe Broad said. A class he was taking at 7 p.m. Wednesdays an hour-and-a-half after Senate meetings begin was the cause of the attendance problems, Garcia said. I was hoping that I could continue my (term) with them, Garcia said. I was hoping I could still attend Senate meetings and just leave earlier than I wanted to. Senators nearing graduation often encounter such problems, according to ASUN Director Sandy Rodriguez. Many student senators discover the classes they are required to take to graduate conict with Senate meetings. In the fall semester, when senators are just beginning to nd out how much time student government activities take up, many end up being put into awkward situations, she said. Though Garcia is the rst senator to resign this year because of a scheduling conict, he is not the rst to nd his schedule packed too tightly.

Obesity weighs on UNR Freshman 15 is

By Riley Snyder
hen students arrive on the second oor of the Joe Crowley Student Union, they are beset with an abundance of fast-food chains. From the 720-calorie wraps at Einstein Bros. Bagels to the Panda Express panda bowls that offer more than half of the amount of sodium required daily, students have the option to eat food experts say lead to obesity and other health problems. But if students become bored with eating on campus, they can walk across the street to the Wolf Den and buy an Awful Awful burger and a pound of fries, or to Archies, where University of Nevada, Reno students get a two-for-one burger deal. These foods are not there by accident, associate journalism professor Bob Felten said. Many local businesses attempt to capitalize on the uninformed nutritional sense of college students, enforcing poor eating habits, he said. But what students save in convenience, they pay for with their health.

an exaggeration
By Ben Miller
According to the Student Health Center, 36 percent of UNR students are overweight or obese, 3.5 percent higher than the national average. Obese students usually dont lose weight over the course of their life, which increases the chance of an early death from chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer and heart disease, said UNR nutrition professor Karen Spears. If you dont start now, its very difcult to change your eating behaviors later, Spears said. Prevention is much more effective than treatment. The federal government subsidizes many food products, including beef and corn, which are used in the production of fast food, economics department chair Elliot Parker said. Generally, its

University Health Educator Enid Jennings hears concern from students every year about weight gain and the instantly recognizable concept of the Freshman 15 the idea that freshmen in college gain 15 pounds in their rst year. The Freshman 15, however, is a myth, she said. According to two university studies, students do gain weight in their rst year, but not nearly as much as the misconception suggests. A 2008 joint research project between the University of Utah and the University of

Deadlines to curb growing campus Benet overhaul

HEALTH CARE
By Ben Miller
While announcing a recordbreaking student population of more than 18,000 this fall, administrators have adopted enrollment restrictions for next year that may limit admissions in an attempt to avoid overstretching diminished services. Freshmen will be required to register for classes by June 1 next year, compared with an Aug. 26 deadline this year, according to University of Nevada, Reno President Marc Johnson. Additionally, prospective students have lost a discounted out-of-state tuition option under the Good Neighbor program, students will no longer be able to transfer to UNR as Western Undergraduate Exchange students and WUE freshman will only be accepted in fall semesters. We are walking a tightrope here, Johnson said in an email. We dont want to grow too much in the next few years because our budget was cut greatly. At the same time, administrators want to keep enrollment rates at a steady level to ll rooms in the residence halls, he

Phyllis Snedeker, an administrative assistant in the University of Nevada, Reno Development and Alumni Relations ofce, has faced a climbing health care deductible since the states budget problems began, from less than $300 to $800 to $1,900. She visited her doctor for a cancer screening one day before the plan changed this summer to take advantage of the lower rate while it was still available to her. She paid $900 for the service, which would have cost her about $3,000 the next day, she said. Snedeker is one of about 8,000 Nevada System of Higher Education employees on the states health care plan, which Public Employees Benets Program Board members overhauled this year.

Regents restrict admission to TMCC

By Cassie Menezes
Administrators passed a new initiative at a meeting earlier this month that will require all Nevada community college applicants to have a high school diploma or its equivalent by fall 2012. Though students already accepted into the colleges will not need a diploma or GED certicate, administrators predict the new policy will decrease the number of applicants to institutions such as Truckee Meadows Community College and Western Nevada College. According to TMCC data, students in remedial English and math classes have a 3 percent chance of graduation. Those classes are required for students who dont have a high school diploma or GED certicate, TMCC Vice President John Tuthill said. And this can be heartbreaking for students who take out loans and hope to graduate, Tuthill said. But more than likely, if they dont have a high school diploma, they will have nothing to show for when they cant pass college-level classes. Because most employers require workers who have a high school education, the move will not immensely impact students without degrees or equivalents in community colleges, Job Opportunities in Nevada Case Manager Janet Locurto said. You can give them all the training in the world, but without requirements it does (them) no good, she said. The move also will open space for University of Nevada, Reno students to take classes there, Nevada Board of Regents Vice Chancellor of Academic and Student Affairs Jane Nichols said. It would be crazy to tell

students they cant nish, Nichols said. If students are already admitted we wont pull their admission. They are grandfathered in and allowed to nish their studies. UNR Director of Admissions Stephen Maples said TMCC offers courses that can be benecial to UNR students on the basis of cost and convenience. Students also turn to TMCC when they are denied enrollment at UNR to search for a second chance. Now that the community college admittance process has become more exclusive, those students who are turned away from UNR can enroll at TMCC to hopefully receive enough credits to enroll at UNR in subsequent semesters, Maples said. TMCC Director of Institutional Research Elena Bubnova said 10,471 UNR students attend the college for additional courses. The measure is a response to a change in the college accreditation system under the Nevada State Legislature, Tuthill said. Formerly, Nevada colleges were evaluated only by enrollment numbers. Now, evaluation begins with enrollment but also measures the amount of success the college has. It encompasses

GREEK LIFE
Assessment sprouts ideas

By Miwako Schlageter
Ever since a national assessment company evaluated the University of Nevada, Renos Greek Community last January, the campus fraternities and sororities have felt changes, such as more leadership development, more aggressive recruitment and a vision for Greek life, members of the community said. Sorority and fraternity leaders believe the assessment helped give insight into how the community was doing and what they needed to change, Greek Life Coordinator Jeanine Menolascino said. However, the belief in how helpful the assessment was varies among members. I honestly think that report (helped) bring out the problems in the Greek community and the problems between the Greek community and the university, Multicultural Greek Council President Anthony Dionisi said. Nothing is ever perfect. There is always room for improvement, and I think that the assessment (helped) us move on that path. The efforts have helped recruitment this semester, Phi Delta Theta Fraternity President Daniel Ferrari said. The report didnt necessarily change the way chapters marketed themselves, but it created a unied Greek front. I dont know how much the assessment did except to highlight some of the changes that need to be made, Ferrari said. The assessment is one of those things that cant really make any real change; it just lit a re under us. Administrators put together a committee including Greek students last semester to analyze and implement the assessment. One of the biggest changes the committee made was adopting more leadership development initiatives, Menolascino said. Before the assessment, one of the only such programs Greek chapters offered was a new member orientation, she said. The report has helped the three interchapter councils to hone leadership skills such as conict and budget management. The committee also formed a mission statement to provide a vision and set of values that dene the community,

Bus cuts mean poor service

By Oanh Luc
Gabby Irvin, a 21-year-old journalism major at the University of Nevada, Reno, stood with a small group of people behind Edmund J. Cain Hall facing Evans Street on Friday. Like so many other days this semester, she was waiting for the bus. Irvin, who lives in the Highlands Apartment Complex, opted to pay for a bus service this year. But the shuttle is often standing room only and too slow for her taste. For the price we paid $125 and the fact that there (is) only one shuttle I feel like it was overpriced, she said. As the 5:30 p.m. ending time of the bus route approached, Irvin looked north up the road and sighed. We may be walking home, she said. A parking administration decision last year to cut one of two shuttles running on the east side of campus has left students such as Irvin frustrated with the service. The University Parking and Trafc Board made the decision in April of last year to avoid transferring the $50,000-peryear cost of one bus onto other permit holders, Director of Parking and Transportation Services Melody Bayeld said. Though the buses pick students up from the Highlands Apartment Complex every 15 minutes, many passengers feel that is too long, or report longer waiting times. Marketing major Aubrey Belford would wait for the shuttle 30 minutes before her class last year. On snowy days and rainy days, it denitely beats walking to campus or having to dig your car out for a two-minute drive, Belford said. But it can also be a hassle to walk due to poor lighting and the sketchy area. Belford said students often end up packed into the bus, which is smaller than the ones running the route through the middle of campus. Basically, theyd just cram people on the shuttle until the door was almost blocked, she said. The last person on would pretty much be standing on the last step probably not the safest thing in the world. For students who choose to make the trek from the Highlands to UNR about a milelong walk the intersection at Enterprise Road and Evans Street can be dangerous, Director of the Associated Students of the University of Nevada Sandy Rodriguez said. Many have difculty on the route, especially during high-trafc peak times. Its almost impossible for students to cross the street, and the sidewalk is located on the opposite side of the street, Rodriguez said. So students are having to keep track of trying to cross looking in two very awkward directions and a lot of times, theyre literally going to the middle of the street and waiting for trafc. A new Campus Escort shuttle service started three weeks ago to drive students from the university to the apartments, Rodriguez said. It makes shorter runs from the Highlands to the Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center, the Joe Crowley Student Union and back. The hours of operation, however, begin at 7 p.m. an hour and a half after the last regular shuttle ends. The lack of a second bus on the route is not the reason Campus Escort began the shuttle, ASUN Coordinator of Programs and Services Chris Partridge said. There is a need to run this extra shuttle service to help lessen the load on other services, according to Partridge. The benets outweigh the costs, he said. We gave 33,505 rides last year, and thats probably the busiest year weve ever had so were looking for ways to alleviate some of the volume off of the dispatcher, Partridge said. And this was one of our possible solutions ... to try a shuttle service that picks up at four of our most common areas that we (Campus Escort) get called to. College of Agriculture, Biotechnology and Natural Resources Sen. Haviva Kobany has begun to look into possible solutions for the students who use the shuttle. In the meantime, they will continue to face the lines and crowding.

Menolascino said. The document was based on ve areas the assessors focused on in their report: developing positive relations; leadership development; building and strengthening social intelligence, citizenship and service learning; advancing academic interest and membership graduation and improving the relationship of the Greek community with the university. Some members dont want to pursue the reports suggestion to change the Greek Relationship Agreement, the statement that restricts chapters in areas such as hazing and alcohol. The assessment suggested making it into a statement of shared values, but Ferrari said the move wouldnt make sense. I understand the universitys views on (the agreement), Ferrari said. (Fraternities and sororities) arent like every other club on campus. If we didnt have the Relationship Agreement, then wed have to follow the same rules as every other club on campus, and fraternities and sororities cant operate under those constraints. The assessment also proposed programs to help with alcohol use and hazing within the chapters. According to the report, there has not been a complete understanding and denition of hazing, which might mean it is likely that hazing is more prevalent than the campus community realizes. To solve this issue, the assessment suggests an alcohol and hazing education program that is more specic for the Greek community. The report also shined a light on the unity that needs to exist between the three councils, Dionisi said. The leaders now hope that members will no longer see three different councils but one Greek community, he said.

REGENTS TO BEGIN SEARCH FOR NEW UNR PRESIDENT
The Nevada System of Higher Education Board of Regents have asked for input in searching for a permanent president for the University of Nevada, Reno, according to a university statement released Wednesday. The Regents will need an Institutional Advisory Committee made of ve faculty members, three administrators, a classied employee, an alumnus and a graduate and undergraduate student, the statement said. The seat was vacated when former President Milton Glick died in April. Former Provost Marc Johnson is serving as the universitys interim president until the board nds a permanent replacement. Chair of the Board of Regents Jason Geddes said he hopes to have the committee meet for the rst time by the end of October. That would allow it to begin interviewing candidates early next year and the Regents to appoint a new president in March 2012, the statement said. to the University of Nevada, Reno to speak during its annual Business Week.

Speaker of the Associated Students of the University of Nevada Senate Joe Broad sits in the Quad on Friday. Broad balances his responsibilities in student government with his passion for music and philosophy.
DEVAN UNDERWOOD /NEVADA SAGEBRUSH
Senate speaker rocks in spare time

By Devan Underwood
Joe Broad sauntered past the John Mackay statue Friday and slid his hand out in a handshake t for a professional to a fellow University of Nevada, Reno student. He had decided against his ofce as the setting for an interview. Actually, he said. The Quad sounds nice. He sported a neutral plaid shirt with the sleeves rolled up and some knock-off Ray Ban Wayfarers. The outt wasnt too far off from the clothes he wore in front of a video camera in February while shredding on a guitar and growling We are ignorance, personied, into a microphone. For Broad, the quiet speaker of the Associated Students of the University of Nevada Senate, there is a line between the blast-beating side of his life and the political side. In addition to being the sole member of death metal band Incommendatus, he keeps close to a 4.0 GPA. Although Broad, a 24-year-old from California, enjoys being busy and doing well in school, he tends to keep music on the back burner. Over the summer I didnt have much to do, so I made a music video to one of my songs. In its rst week it had over 1,000 hits, he said. At one point, Incommendatus played live shows when Broad had a drummer on board. Now, Broad has to record each instrument separately so live shows are impossible. Broad is a self-proclaimed musical extremist but denitely not an elitist. He enjoys classical, metal and indie music. Metallicas Master of Puppets was the rst song he learned on the guitar. He spent two months working on the rst riff of the song because he wanted to be the fastest and most technical guitarist. Ive slowed down quite a bit since 2006, Broad said. College of Liberal Arts Sen. Sara Sinnett knows him in a different light as a leader. Joe Broad is a great guy, Sinnett said. Ive worked with him for the past year, and he still continues to surprise me with his dedication. He can be serious when necessary, but I think he truly captivates everyone he knows with his sense of humor. Broad started as the Senates secretary last school year, keeping track of absences at meetings and lling out paperwork related to legislation. When a senator in the College of Liberal Arts resigned from his seat, the Senate appointed him to ll the position. At the rst meeting of the new Senate, he ran for the Speaker position with less than a semesters experience in the role. Despite his experience in elected ofce, he has no interest in pursuing politics beyond student government. Im too honest, he said. Broad is a senior double majoring in political science and philosophy who plans to pursue a Ph.D and go on to teach philosophy at the college level. One of Joes greatest traits is his kindness, said Kathryn Merrill, Joes girlfriend of three years. He is quick to engage in conversation with the president of our university, and then

shows the same enthusiasm and respect in conversation with the janitor. But through it all, the music still matters in Broads mind. Those lyrics from the Incommendatus song We are ignorance, personied hold a deep meaning for him. Theres nothing Im set to change but ignorance and intolerance, Broad said.

suggests, any weight gain is signicant for the University of Nevada, Reno, where about 30 percent of the student population is overweight or obese, Jennings said. Karen Spears, a nutrition specialist at UNR, is studying the causes behind the phenomenon. Her hypothesis is that a wide array of factors ranging from stressed or bored eating to high-calorie alcohol consumption contribute to the problem of rst-year weight gain. Spears emphasized psychological factors, but Jennings said other explanations could be related to alterations in students environments from their homes. Its still a time of life when people are learning to eat on their own, she said. You know, moms not cooking for them anymore. Kyndra Crowell, a 21-yearold accounting major from Yerington, agreed with that sentiment. In the absence of her mothers nutritional guidance during her rst year, Crowells eating habits regressed into Top Ramen and macaroni and cheese, she said. She witnessed the effects of the Freshman 15 rsthand. I tried (to avoid it), but late nights and fast food it just kind of happens, Crowell said. Nick Lighthouse, a 20-yearold community health sciences major, however, managed to avoid packing on the pounds during his stay in the residence halls last year. He recognized that much of the Downunder Cafs options were unhealthy and made a conscious effort to balance his choices on0 the buffet-style meal plan with daily workouts at Lombardi Recreation Center. Its always the same food pasta, pizza, stir-fry, Lighthouse said. You can only eat salad for so long.

Obesity
easier for students to buy fast food than to actually purchase ingredients and make a meal, nutrition professor Jamie Benedict said. As (students) resources are stretched, (they) might be tempted to choose those low cost items that arent that healthy, Benedict said. Advertisers focus on children and adolescents because they can serve as consumers in both the present and the future, Frank Zang, director of the Communications and Marketing department at Boise State, said. Due to the increased acceptance of fast food, children have become accustomed to eating out, which draws parallels to other businesses, Health Instructor Kelli Seals said. We compare whats happening in the food industry to the tobacco industry, (especially) with the amount of marketing they put into the product, she said. Additionally, time constraints and stress can contribute to students eating non-nutritious meals on campus, Spears said. For 18-year-old anthropology major Miranda Wells, eating at on-campus locations such as Einstein Bagel Bros. is easier than cooking food in her residence hall. Calories are calories, Wells said. It doesnt matter where you get them. While college students may not consider the impact of their eating habits, poor nutrition can lead to an earlier death and crippling diseases, Benedict said. When entering college, many students transition from drinking milk to soda, Spears said. This decreased calcium intake during a critical period of development can later lead to an onset of osteoporosis, a disease causing reduced bone density, she said. A 2011 study by Oregon State University found that many
university students often skip eating fruits and vegetables all day, which help reduce the risk of diseases such as diabetes and stroke, Spears said. For many students, poor health starts at childhood, Health Educator Kelli Seals said. According to information from Washoe County, 36 percent of K-12 students are overweight or obese, which is slightly higher than the national average. More than half the adult population of Washoe County is overweight. Spears, who is currently doing research with local elementary schools, said many children have only been exposed to unhealthy and inorganic foods. You hold up a potato, and they dont know what it is, Spears said. You hold up french fries, and they recognize it immediately. Although many Washoe County schools are working toward eliminating unhealthy foods from their campuses, a large portion of the responsibility falls with parents, Amy Jamieson-Petonic, a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association said. Parents might not be making the healthiest choices when they go grocery shopping, and because of limited time, they may not be preparing as many meals as well, Jamieson-Petonic said. Part of the higher obesity rate for children and adults in Nevada is the existence of food deserts, or places where healthy and organic food isnt readily available, Nevada State Health Division Wellness Coordinator Gale Thomssen said. Food deserts exist in both rural and urban areas, she said. Students such as 23-year-old Mikhail Agcaoili said he tries to bring cooked food from home, but sometimes has to buy food at campus. You only have so much time to cook a certain portion, Agacaoili said. According to a 2010 study by the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, 40 percent of obese adolescents are expected
Students at the Downunder Caf in Argenta Hall have healthy choices such as salads and fruit, students said. However, they also have access to an ice cream machine, cookies and other unhealthy foods.
to become severely obese by the age of 30, compared to 2.5 percent of healthy and overweight teenagers. For the most part, nutritional habits stay with children up to adolescence and adulthood, Thomssen said. College students who grew up eating fast food will for the most part continue to eat fast food when enrolled in university, she said. Campus facilities such as the Lombardi Recreation Center and healthy options in the Downunder Caf are important in helping UNR students become healthier, Lombardi recreation Director James Fitzsimmons said. Exercise and appropriate diet are as important as breathing, as far as Im concerned, Fitzsimmons said. About 33 percent of UNR students purchase a recreation pass every year, and students use the facility about twice a week, Fitzsimmons said. However, poor eating habits can cripple any gains in overall health, he said. You are going to struggle as a recreational athlete if you dont have a good diet, Fitzsimmons said. More and more, students will come to me and say, Alright, this is what Im eating, Im missing a big piece of this, what should I do? For the 2,077 students who have a meal plan with the residence halls, the Downunder Caf is where they eat the majority of their meals. But for 18-year-old accounting major Karina Dyer, who eats at the Downunder Caf two or three times a day, making healthful choices is difcult because of the large amount of unhealthy food. Even though I want to make bigger, healthy choices, its hard to do so, Dyer said. While the Residential Life, Housing and Food Services department does provide nutritional information to students, they are not required to keep tabs on students health, Russell Meyer, associate director for Housing Operations and Dining Services said. Its our responsibility to make sure students have options, Meyer said. Its not our responsibility to make sure students eat wisely. One of the main problems with the buffet style set up of the Downunder Caf is the lack of control over portion sizes, which can lead to incredibly unhealthy eating habits, Meyer said. A chicken breast is good for you, Meyer said. Eight chicken breasts probably isnt. Students who live off-campus may be more tempted to make unhealthy choices because they have to purchase ingredients and

spend time preparing healthy food, said Kin-Kit Li, who was the lead author of a 2011 Oregon State University study dealing with student nutrition. To adopt a healthy lifestyle, students who live off-campus will need to have the motivation to eat healthy (and) the efcacy to choose and prepare healthy food, Li said in an email. Overweight students do have the opportunity to change their health around but should not be discouraged by a slow start to weight loss, Jamieson-Petonic said. Good nutrition starts young, she said. So if you can develop these healthy habits while in college, it can lead to a lifetime of health.

must pay out of pocket before their health plan begins to cover the cost from $800 to $1,900 for those on the new plan, according to a study from the Nevada System of Higher Education. In response, employees have begun to put off treatments and a decreased attraction to Nevada for potential employees, NSHE Vice Chancellor of Administration and Legal Affairs Bart Patterson said. Point of fact, the presidents of the colleges and universities, the chancellor and Board of Regents
have received more concern expressed about the health care plan than any issue arising out of the legislature, Patterson said. For instance, even the pay decreases havent been ... as signicant a concern as the (PEBP) health care changes. The PEBP Board replaced one of its two options for health care plans from a Preferred Provider Organization to a ConsumerDriven Health Plan in the face of an $85 million decit, according to a letter from PEBP Executive Ofcer James Wells to the chancellor of higher education. The budget hole wasnt a result of decreased funding, however. The program received at fund-
ing, but the costs of health care increased, Wells said in the letter. Erik Williams, chair of the Staff Employees Council, said the media often downplays the signicance of the cost of the benet cuts. Most reported that university employees sustained a 5 percent pay cut. With the health care decreases tacked on, that number could jump as high as 10 percent, he said. The new plans hurt classied employees state workers on campus more than others, Williams said. Those employees began taking furloughs a year earlier than others.
Since the changes, Snedeker has avoided going to the doctor, including for minor sicknesses. I was like, Im not going to die, so I wont have this check up, Snedeker said. If I have a really bad cold, Ill have overthe-counter medicine. The Board put together a committee to discuss ways to increase benets for university employees, said Jacque Ewing-Taylor, a higher education representative on the PEBP Board. One of the options the committee is considering is breaking the system away from state health care and developing its own policies. But such a departure is unlikely, Ewing-Taylor said.
Besides the cost increase it would mean for the cash-strapped NSHE, the PEBP board has a special provision for groups of employees who wish to leave the program. The Groups of 300 rule states that groups of 300 or more employees holding plans in PEBP wont be allowed to leave if their departure will mean a cost increase of 5 percent or more to the rest of the people on the plan, Ewing-Taylor said. Because NSHE has more than 8,000 employees on the program and most are healthy, such a plan would almost certainly violate the Groups of 300 rule, she said. The system may not even be
able to start a system that would give more benets to higher education employees than other state personnel, Wells warned NSHE Chancellor Dan Klaich. That would create equity issues with other state employees and also could create Internal Revenue Code discrimination issues regarding benet differentials for highly compensated employees, Wells wrote. Despite the situation, Snedeker said she feels things will get better eventually. Im optimistic that this is the worst its going to be, she said.

ENROLLMENT
E Enrollment ll t changes h effective for the fall 2012 semester: Freshmen will need to apply by June 1. Transfer students will need to apply by July 15. Transfer students will no longer qualify for the Western Undergraduate Exchange tuition rate. WUE freshmen will need a 3.0 GPA and an 1100 on the critical reasoning and mathematics portions of the SAT or a 22 composite score on the ACT. WUE freshmen will only be allowed to apply for fall semesters, not spring, winter or summer sessions. WUE freshmen must apply by Feb. 1. WUE freshmen must live on campus their rst year. Students will no longer be able to use the Good Neighbor tuition discount. Sources: Director of Admissions Stephen Maples, Executive Director of Public Relations Jane Tors and University of Nevada, Reno President Marc Johnson.
Stephen Maples said. They will also be required to spend their first year at the university in the residence halls. The residence hall requirement will help the university fill rooms while putting outof-state students in a group statistically more likely to graduate, Maples said. About 98 percent of WUE students live on campus, he said. The erasure of the Good Neighbor discount, which has offered lower tuition to students in counties adjacent to Nevada for about 20 years, could mean fewer students who live close to the university choosing the campus on the hill, said Patti Schrichfield, a counselor at Ponderosa High School in El Dorado County, Calif. Ponderosa, which is about 130 miles from the UNR campus near Sacramento, sees seven
to 10 students per year coming to the university, she said. Almost all of them used the program. I think well always have students who go there because its a nice size and its (far) enough away from home, Schrichfield said. But I think that if the Good Neighbor policy is gone, I think some students will end up staying in state rather than paying more. The early enrollment deadline will weed out students
who are less likely to graduate than those who apply sooner in the year, Maples said. It also will eliminate problems those students bring. Most of the students who apply late they still want financial aid, they still want advisement, and its very hard to do that in the 11th hour, he said.

College of Liberal Arts Sen. Shirley Diaz stepped down as chair of the Committee on Public Affairs on Sept. 14. In her letter, Diaz cited an overwhelming schedule and a need to focus on academics. Last year, several of the senators either dropped out or faced punishments for missing meetings and not holding ofce hours. College of Engineering Sen. Adam Khan went through an impeachment hearing last semester for six missed meetings, and College of Liberal Arts Sens. Jesus Palma and Brandon Jung also resigned amid possible punishments for absences. Broad said Garcia made the right decision in resigning, but does not think the resignation is
completely excusable. Sen. Garcia was put in quite a predicament, Broad said. However, he also had all summer knowing he would have Senate meetings on Wednesday. Garcias position as a senator for the College of Liberal Arts, the most populous college, makes his resignation less of a blow to student representation, he said. If the senator for the Reynolds School of Journalism had left, for instance, it would have left the school without representation. While the process of replacing Garcia means the students in the College of Liberal Arts will not have a say in who the group chooses to represent them, it also has meant in the past that the Senate considers time conicts when choosing a replacement, Broad said.

Time conicts should not be issue for Senate
uan Garcia resigned from his position as College of Liberal Arts senator for the Associated Students of the University of Nevada on Wednesday after missing several meetings this semester. Joe Broad, speaker of the ASUN Senate, said Garcias main reason for resignation was because his class schedule conicted with the meeting times the Senates rules required him to fulll. On Sept. 14, Shirley Diaz resigned as the chair of the Com-
mittee on Public Affairs, citing an overwhelming schedule and a need to focus on my academics in her resignation letter. While we understand and respect both of these individuals priorities, their resignations just a few weeks into school reach further than simply leaving one more chair empty at ASUN meetings. Their resignations force ASUN to appoint new students to the positions. The appointment process is faulty because of the time it takes (when former College
of Liberal Arts Sen. Jesus Palma resigned in late January of spring 2011, it took about two months to ll his position) and because it doesnt involve a student vote. Still, throughout the years, some senators have been on the verge of being censured for failing to fulll their duties. Whether they end up resigning, most cite an overwhelming schedule as their main reason for their predicament. This needs to stop. ASUN elections are held annu-
ally in March more than ve months before new members of the student government take ofce in the fall semester. They know what is expected of them for their positions. Their duties and time requirements are clearly outlined. There shouldnt be any issues regarding schedule conicts during the fall semester. It would also help ASUN save face in front of students. Many workers in the student government argue that apathy among the campus community is a large issue, but theyre not
helping their case by having senators or committee chairs resign mid-semester. Why should students care more if it appears that ASUN doesnt? Adding more specic questions about time availability to the ASUN application would quell the issue of resignations as well as solve the issue of student government workers biting off more than they can chew.

Abolish death penalty to save innocent

avid Keaton, a black Floridian man, was convicted of murdering an off-duty police ofcer and sentenced to death in 1971. The case was shaky at best, including a coerced confession and a case of mistaken identity. Sound familiar? After spending two years on death row, Keaton was granted a new trial and eventually became the rst man exonerated in the United States in 1973. Troy Davis wasnt so lucky. Davis, who was convicted by the state of Georgia of killing an off-duty police ofcer in 1989, was sentenced to death. After serving more than two decades behind bars, Davis was executed Wednesday night, despite new evidence suggesting he was an innocent man. Millions across the nation fought to save him from execution by protesting and sending letters and emails of disapproval to Georgias Board of Pardons and Paroles, among other efforts. Former President Jimmy Carter, Rev. Al Sharpton and Pope Benedict XVI were just some of the many prominent gures who publicly opposed Davis execution. Though Davis was executed, this should not deter us from ghting Enjolie for the rest of the potentially innoEsteve cent people who may be wrongfully executed. His death shone a harsh spotlight on the corrupt U.S. justice system, showing the government is willing to execute people whose guilt isnt denite. Because of its inherent faults such as executing potentially innocent people, opposition to the death penalty must be made toward all death row inmates (those who may be innocent and those who are blatantly guilty). According to the Innocence Project, 273 prisoners in the U.S. were exonerated after being proven innocent of their convicted crimes. Seventeen of those men were actually on death row and released before their execution dates. As of Thursday, 270 people have been executed in the United States since 1976. Who knows how many more people were unjustly executed? America is ranked as one of the top-ve countries with the highest execution rates in 2010 with 46 executions, according to Amnesty Internationals 2010 Death Penalty Report. In our company are China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Libya. How can we continue to delude ourselves into thinking we have the right to play the part of the self-righteous World Police and condemn other countries for their barbaric and uncivil practices (female genital mutilation, for example) when we allow the U.S. government to carry on with killing possibly innocent people? Im not suggesting we martyrize Davis. This issue is much larger than him. As Davis wrote in his nal letter addressed to the public, There are so many more Troy Davises. This ght to end the death penalty is not won or lost through me, but through our strength to move forward and save every innocent person in captivity around the globe. This is the time to stop complaining about living under an unjust system and put some action behind your disapproval and disgust. Start acting like the rational, civilized citizens we claim to be. Stop letting revenge and hate motivate our perception of what justice should be, and lets nally wash the blood off our hands. I urge you to go to Amnesty.org and sign a pledge to ght for the abolishment of the death penalty. Dont just take a stand for Troy Davis, do it for yourself and the integrity of this country.

Dont pack liquid, anything that can be used as a weapon, or something that may incriminate you as a dangerous human being. This includes pocket knives, bottle openers and devices to enhance sexual pleasure. I can almost guarantee none of these are necessary for your two-hour travel to Toronto.

Once youre on the plane, its tempting to get comfortable, and why shouldnt you? After spending $400 to sit on a claustrophobic airbus, we could all afford some relaxation. But there are a few places I draw the line. Please do not drink until you puke, play your iPod so loud I can hear it or tell me your life story. Most importantly, do not recline your seat. Not only are you virtually lying on top of the person behind you, but frequent adjusting leads to spilling drinks, bumping laptops and the inability to lay my head on the tray table. Lets be honest, no matter how you adjust, lying down on an airplane is about as comfortable as napping on an overturned bike. So be courteous and wait until you get home to recline.

POLITICS: CUTTING MEDICARE, MEDICAID BUDGET

FROM THE LEFT | CUTS SEEK TO MAKE PROGRAMS MORE EFFICIENT
hen Republicans got ahold of President Barack Obamas debt reduction plan, they tried to use it to discredit him, saying the plan would cut $320 billion from Medicare and Medicaid. But cut isnt the right word. The decit plan does Thomas not focus Levine on cutting money, but rather on reducing waste and increasing co-payments for several services. Because Republicans decried the plan for raising costs, refusing to allow tax rates to rise in the general debt reduction plan, this not only has little chance to pass, but will make health care a casualty caused by a lack of bipartisanship. According to the Congressional Budget Ofce, the Affordable Healthcare Act
will reduce the decit by $200 billion during the next decade, while the current plan would reduce decits in Medicare and Medicaid by $320 billion. By this decade, $520 billion will have been cut in healthcare costs by Democrats. What have the Republicans given up? Not much. They refused to allow disaster relief funding without making cuts elsewhere. They refused to allow higher taxes on the richest 1 percent of the United States. Why is this? Because they think they can score political points by not raising taxes as the vast majority has pledged to. Out of the 244 millionaires in Congress, 138 are Republican. They wont use Medicaid or Medicare. They have their own health plan, so they see no reason to allow it to expire and blame it on the Democrats. The richest member of the legislature is Darrell Issa, R-Calif., whose net worth is well more than $100 million. Some costs in Medicaid and Medicare are going to be better for some users. Doctors will receive more money. Home services, which have never
required a co-pay, will require a $100 co-pay for new beneciaries starting in 2017, something that will give Medicare an additional $400 million over the next decade. This will allow the program to continue and make funding more equal across the board. Some drug costs will be cheaper as prescription drugs will cost less. However, all of this wont mean anything if the budget is not passed. This tale of partisanship will ultimately end in failure for both sides, as the Democrats will be unable to do anything will be blamed for not stimulating the economy, while Republicans will look like stubborn jerks unable to compromise. Both sides need to come to the table with all options open, and then we can make cuts and raise revenues, creating a more balanced budget. I am not holding my breath for this anytime soon.

FROM THE RIGHT | CUTTING HEALTH PROGRAMS WILL HURT STATES

highly concerned with this lack of balance in priority. Many governors are after increasing the exibility of how each state will be able to spend their Medicaid dollars. President Obamas budget director said the new decitreduction plan will bring a lot of pain to Americans. This can be seen as Obama wants to impose taxes on care providers, which in turn will restrict each states ability to nance their share of costs. Those insured will receive fewer benets by getting less coverage with higher premiums and co-pays for beneciaries. Obama is willing to provide extra benets to states for treating all low-income people under Medicaid. He also wants to charge co-payments to elderly who receive home health services. Converting health programs such as Medicare and Medicaid into block grants is becoming a popular option in the GOP party as well as showing favor with some Democrats and Independents. Block grants would contain fewer restrictions on state budgets, allowing each state to accommodate its population as needed. Since block grants are large sums of money typically authorized by the national government and given to regions such as state governments, freedom in the budget within each state is an advantage. This is due to the option for each state to comply with the resources contained in their region, which is inconsistent across the country. Implementing a xed and non-negotiable budget outline for the country as a whole defeats the purpose of recognizing the individual needs of each state. The federal government does not know what is best for each individual state, and tightening the regulations required for each state is not the solution to the problem. The solution is to apply limited restrictions on state law, and most importantly, gain freedom from the federal government.

Mabus Many believe the presidents proposed cuts could negatively impact beneciaries and states with more costs. Applying stricter federal laws to the states in order to maintain current health care coverage concerning the elderly, poor and disabled is ultimately restricting each states ability to allot their money in the areas deemed necessary.

FOOD TRUCKS
FASHION ADVICE
Dont underestimate deliciousness of gourmet food trucks

elevision has constantly wowed us with all its over-the-top food programs. Sure, the end results are spectacular, featuring anything from towers of cupcakes to the worlds largest burritos. As appealing to my palate as these programs may be, Diamond I always Lambert have to refer to the beauty and simplicity of the mobile food truck. There are the swirling misnomers of the roach coach or trash on wheels, but, is a gourmet food truck any different from the jolly neighborhood ice cream man? Its common sense to know you cant eat from all of them, but theres a sizeable number that really deliver. And thats where food trucks become a step above the usual snack mobile and become a mobile ne-dining establishment. Everyone knows college students for the most part are broke and often lazy. What could be better than a gourmet meal on wheels just moments from your class? The University of Nevada, Reno nally got with the program and allowed BoDawgs to set up in front of the Virginia Street Gym starting this fall semester. At rst glance the foil-encased bundles in question appear to be a hoagie crossed with a burrito. But look closer and you will see its a quarter-pound hotdog made to the food-seekers satisfaction.

They offer a decent arrangement of toppings, ranging from cream cheese to pineapple chunks. Everyone is bound to nd something appealing on the BoDawgs menu, which seems to have an islander feel. Taking their noble cause a step further, the company, established in June 2010, donates 10 percent of their prots to Back-Pack kids, a program offered via the Food Bank of Northern Nevada. This just proves that the roach coach has evolved from the creepy guy lurking on corners with cheap eats to a proper establishment with a mission statement and a satisfying menu. Los Angeles is well known for its tamale coaches brimming with fresh horchata and artistically peeled exotic fruits. When cruising by in your topless low-rider (if youre lucky enough to own one) the smell immediately hits you with pangs of spice, coolness and just enough oomph to make your mouth water. The individuality of food trucks rises above the expected ho-hum of a sit-down establishment. The mobile truck snatches your attention as you walk by. Its prices are often unbeatable and the stories behind their existence come from various backgrounds. My argument is short we must never let the mobile food truck stray far from our minds. Someones burger (or veggie burger) could be enough to change your life one days urging you to never set foot in another McDonalds again.

BRIGHTEN UP A CLASSIC WINTER STAPLE

A look I love for both men and women is the pea coat. Though it might not look as good on most guys as it does on Edward Cullen (judge me), I encourage you all to go for it. For the ladies, pick a bright color. Before you complain about how a bright pea coat wont match anything, I wear my bright yellow one with everything. You would be surprised at the amount of dimension a bright blue pea coat can bring to any plain winter look.
ADD FUN LEGWEAR

For the ladies, there are Steph a few Smith looks that I love for fall. I am a huge fan of the tights, legwarmers and boots combo. When I say legwarmers and tights, I am not talking Flashdance neon tights with huge legwarmers over boots. A cute pair of argyle or knit tights with a pair of legwarmers pulled up just around your calf and then tucked into a cute slouchy or leather boot is one of my favorite looks. Pair it with a cute dress or skirt in a neutral fall color like brown or gray.
ACCESORIZE WITH FASHIONABLE YET PRACTICAL HATS

Guys, I dont know what it is about the slouchy beanie that makes all us girls melt. It is by far the cutest way to keep your little ears warm during the winter. And girls, dont be afraid to buy one and wear it, too. Forever 21 usually has some pretty cute ones with bows and owers on the side that make them even more stylish. They will also protect your locks on those perfect hair days when it suddenly snows halfway through the day.
SAY YES TO UGGS

This next one may cause a bit of an uproar, but I stand by my opinion. Uggs. I know everyone calls them ugglies and hates when girls wear them with shorts or skirts (never do that, please), but when the snow starts coming down, there is no other shoe I would rather wear. Every girl, and a selection of brave boys, should own a pair. Spray them with some weatherproof spray, and I promise they will keep your feet dry and warm on the coldest, snowiest day. You can walk through piles
LOOK FAB IN FLANNEL

One thing I will never go without in the winter is the annel button-up. Not only are they super cute, they will keep you warm and toasty in those buildings on campus that manage to be just as cold inside as it is outside. They come in so many styles you will surely nd one that you like. Most retailers have all sorts of plaids, in cotton and annel to layer with t-shirts or tank tops. For women, you can nd ones

HUMANS ARE NOT FOR SALE
Stand up, ght to obliterate sex trafcking worldwide

he issue of slavery was settled shortly after Nevada became a state in 1864. Most Americans believe slavery is a thing of the past that we learn about in history books, but it is still a reality for many, just with a new name trafcking. John TrafckHambrick ing is all
around us, even in Nevada. Last year the FBI conducted a three-day sweep, cracking down on child trafcking and prostitution nationwide. The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported the FBI identied more than 60 children and 99 pimps, including one child located in Las Vegas. Almost 100 children were identied as being forced into sexual servitude in Las Vegas in 2010. Even in Reno, trafcking and forced prostitution is a serious concern. Shortly after the FBI sting in Las Vegas, KOLO Channel 8 reported a similar sting by the Reno Police
Department, uncovering two girls from Sacramento, ages 14 and 15. Just this summer KRNV Channel 4 reported a former IRS agent and UNR teacher was illegally transporting a teen girl to Reno so that she could become a prostitute. These are not stories from distant countries. These stories come from right here in Nevada. Sadly, most of these stories dont have happy endings. Victims of trafcking often face physical and sexual abuse. Drugs and alcohol are commonplace. Victims are brainwashed to believe the abuse is normal. All of this
makes it nearly impossible for victims to get out on their own, and even when helped, this baggage makes it difcult to return to a normal life. Earlier this year, the Nevada Legislature joined me in standing with the victims of trafcking. In Nevada it is a crime to be a prostitute outside of a brothel, and Assembly Bill 6 is giving victims of trafcking the opportunity to remove that conviction from their records. With these convictions from something out of their control, it is difcult or even impossible for victims to return to a normal life. This legislation gives them a new
lease on life, but it isnt enough. We need to increase penalties for pimps and others exploiting humans for their own personal gains. I sponsored AB 380 in 2009, which now allows the court to impose substantial nes of up to $500,000 on any person convicted of pandering or of prostitution of a child. This legislation makes the very criminals who prey on our youth fund the programs to help get them off the street. You have my word that I will continue to sponsor legislation like AB 6 and AB 380 that will work to end trafcking in Nevada.
This is not a political issue. It is a human issue, and it will take all of us to stop human trafcking. Please join us Wednesday from 6:30-9 p.m. in the Wells Fargo Auditorium in the Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center for an informational and moving panel of people ghting every day to end slavery in Nevada, the United States and abroad. Its time we stand together and say, Humans are not for sale.

ALBUM REVIEW
Vocal legend collaborates with many on album

By Zoe Wentzel
Duets II is Tony Bennetts follow-up cover album of pop standards featuring some of todays best musicians. Its release was in correspondence with Bennetts 85th birthday, and while a compilation like this may seem boring at rst glance to someone who doesnt sit in a silk robe listening to Frank Sinatra all day in their parlor, this album pushes the audience of easy listening to a variety of listeners. While the song choice is in line with the style of Bennett, the highlight of the album lies in the duet partners. Ranging from country stars to R&B singers, the duet partners allow for a broadened audience. Perhaps the most noteworthy track on Duets II is Body and Soul which features Amy Winehouse, making it one of her last recorded works before her death in late July. Winehouse shines with a voice comparable to that of Billie Holiday (who recorded her own version of the song) and reminds listeners why everyone fell in love with her in the rst place for her incredible talent. Lady Gaga also makes an appearance in a cover of The Lady Is a Tramp originally from the musical Babes in Arms. This song demonstrates Gagas true vocal talent without the extravagant costumes or metaphorically deep lyrics, and it also tips a hat to her theater background. Gaga croons lyrics in an old-style fashion that will appeal to more than just her little monsters. The crossover appeal fails on the track On the Sunny Side of the Street which features country singer Willie Nelson. Instead of blending his style into that of Bennetts, he clashes instead. Nelson attempts a smooth sounding voice, but it still remains very rough, conicting not only with the smoothness of Bennetts voice but with the song in general. The country crossover does make a successful appearance in the song The Way You Look Tonight with Faith Hill. After listening to the song, you would have no idea Hill is a major country singer. Her voice blends in beautifully with the classic style, while retaining her signature sound. Bennett chose to record his duets in the studio alongside the accompanying artist, which adds a lot of strength to the songs as they become more conversational. A prime example of this can be found in the song One for My Baby (And One More for The Road) which includes John

The nal song of the album is When Do The Bells Ring for Me which features a vocally reserved Mariah Carey. While Carey does not showcase every note in her range, as she usually is known for, this duet makes for a solid nale. Though the song is not necessarily spectacular, its soft and soothing to listen to and exhibits Carey in rare form. Tony Bennett celebrates his 85th birthday in a great way with Duets II. Not only will it attract Bennett fans, but also a younger audience that would otherwise simply pass it by. Its hard to go wrong with a compilation of pop standards featuring some of the most respected artists of today.

ALBUM REVIEW
Memorable indie musician releases addictive album of creative material

By Leanne Howard
I am one of those people who used to think of EPs as compilations of songs that werent cool enough to go on an actual album. Its taken about 10 years, but Im nally starting to appreciate them as more than just that. In fact, for artists like Jens Lekman, who has released about 13 EPs including the recent An Argument With Myself, sometimes singles from EPs are what make up great albums (like with his full-length compilation from 2005, Oh Youre So Silent Jens). EPs are starting to look pretty good. But the list of pros gets longer. Lekmans fans have had to wait about four years for this vesong EP . Imagine what a 12-song album would take. Then, after waiting eight years for a new album, those fans would probably have to content themselves with the ve great songs on it, because there will inevitably be some ller tracks that lets face it just arent quite as good as the rest. An Argument With Myself avoids all these problems and gets straight to Lekmans strengths: poppy, upbeat music with insightful, melancholic lyrics. Those fans of the realistically depressing yet somehow still happy (and catchy) music of Belle & Sebastian or The Smiths will appreciate Lekmans straightforward, romantic lyricism. However, Lekman makes

the style all his own with crazy samples, ute intros, string sections and even a trumpet fanfare
that starts off track four, New Directions. Lekman had saxophone solos before they were everywhere else, and another one makes an impressive appearance on the EPs penultimate track. His Swedish accent contrasts with the wild mix of reggae and salsa beats to the point that you could hear him anywhere from a college radio station to an adult ballroom-dancing class. Lekmans version of addicting twee pop is so far outside other
artists that it really should be in a category all on its own, but his craziness makes a cohesive collection that puts his creativity on display. Plus, on a ve-song EP , every track is single material. After another four years of waiting, these songs might appear on a full-length album, but if you keep up with his EPs, youll get them rst.

FILM REVIEW
Brad Pitt, left, and Jonah Hill star in Moneyball, a lm about the true story of Billy Beane, the general manager of the Oakland Athletics baseball team.
COURTESY OF COLUMBIA PICTURES
Moneyball transcends typical sports cinema

By Kyle Wise
You dont necessarily have to be a baseball person or even a sports person to appreciate Moneyball, the new lm based on Michael Lewis best-selling book about Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane and the team he built for cheap with a statistics-based system. At its core, it isnt really a sports lm, but rather a fascinating character study of a charismatic and unorthodox individual. As Beane, Brad Pitt is the heart and soul of this lm. Pitt presents a Beane frustrated by his job, and who never attends his own teams games out of fear of jinxing the outcome. His character often feels overwhelmed by the stress of running a cashstrapped, small market franchise struggling to compete against money spending juggernauts such as the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. Pitts Beane is funny, charming, rude, introspective, angry, detached, caring, pessimistic and optimistic throughout the course of a two-hour lm. The transition from one version of Beane to another is seamless. Moneyball uses a parallel narrative to show us two versions of Beane: in the present day as GM of the As and as a young version of Beane pursuing a career in Major League Baseball. We learn that his failings as a player inuence his frustration and disillusionment with the MLBs current player development system, and a montage of scenes depicting his struggles in the Majors and the Minors are genuinely heartbreaking to watch. On the other side of the equation is Jonah Hill as Beanes assistant GM Peter Brand. Hills Brand is Beanes opposite: a soft-spoken, shy young man who possesses an extraordinary amount of intelligence about baseball. It is Brand who introduces Beane to the numbers game that allows the As to build a winning team with unknowns and castoffs. Since it is Jonah Hill playing him, Brand is naturally the source of most of the lms humor, particularly in his comical exchanges with Beane. Also along for the ride is Oscar winner Philip Seymour Hoffman as As manager Art Howe, and he is a perfect t for the part due to his strong physical resemblance to Howe, and his crusty demeanor makes him believable as an MLB manager. Like Hill, Hoffman produces a lot of humor by playing the straight man to Pitts eccentric Beane, but there is also good drama produced by the tension in their relationship. Moneyball has some minor aws. It underutilizes its supporting cast; Brand crunches numbers, spouts off statistics and makes dry remarks but really isnt given much else to do. Howe, as well as some of the As players depicted in the lm, also could have used more screen time. Moneyball throws a

lot of numbers and facts about baseball at the audience, which might overwhelm some, but they dont distract from the drama and humor. It is also a very slow-paced lm. While taking its time is an undervalued quality in movies, it might move too slowly for some. While it is doubtful Moneyball is a 100 percent accurate portrayal
of Billy Beane and the As 2002 season, it is just a movie, and this dramatized adaptation of their story makes for a moving and funny lm that will satisfy both sports fans and people who dont know a thing about baseball.

ALBUM REVIEW
Thrices seventh album reects struggle of common man

By Ben Miller
This is the year of the common man. The economic downturn has meant another year of stagnation and another year of people wondering when, or if, they will ever be able to live their dreams. Born from these ashes is a sapling dropped from an ancient tree: Major/Minor, the new album from alternative rock group Thrice. The effort is the seventh full-length from the group, and the album recognizes the common man environment it was created in. The world of the common man is one of pushing onward; an eternal struggle toward another day in the grind and an embrace of the simplistic. Such is the tone of Major/Minor. Through the groups masterful tonal control and minimalist production, Thrice has birthed a successful record that follows the theme of the year in a beautiful way. From the very beginning, one can see it. The opening track, Yellow Belly, begins with the scratch of ngers along a guitar string perhaps intentional, perhaps not, the noise is an unpleasant reminder of what goes on behind the scenes. Throughout the album, the band forgoes ashy parts to favor instead the simplistic but true-to-life sort of sound that

will have most loyal listeners intrigued. In comparison with the bands previous works, Major/ Minor is a good fit. Thrice is one of those groups that has changed its sound on every record. From punk beginnings, the band has explored metal, indie and electronic, all while staying true to its original qualities. The new effort just sounds Thrice-y. But theres also something very new about it. Each song contains a kind of weary beauty one can see in life below the glitz and glamour. The album seems to say, The bottom aint so bad. Instrumentally, Thrice has really simplied things. The rhythm guitar tends toward heavy, pounding chords while the lead follows progressive, often poppy patterns. The drums feature an unprecedented number of stick-clacking parts. Vocally, Dustin Kensrue has found a pleasing gruffness that allows for vicious attacks and beautiful

harmonies side-by-side. More than that, the album displays a surprising consistency. Thrice has tended to veer from one side to the other on all their albums, having an opening trio thats stronger than most of the record on one release and a better ending segment on another. But on Major/Minor, the songs pretty much stay at the same level throughout. Thrice fans will rejoice at yet another fantastic release from the band in Major/Minor.

Zoos offer exotic encounters
The majority of the animals residing at the Animal Ark in Reno have been rescued and are unable to live in the wild for various reasons. The Animal Ark is one of the organizations that provides the local community with opportunities to view and interact with exotic animals.

At the Sierra Safari Zoo, visitors enter an enclosure full of free-roaming deer of varying sizes. While the guests travel around the outskirts of the enclosure to view monkeys and other animals in pens, the deer approach them, nibbling at their coat sleeves and offering themselves up to be petted. When many students roam the University of Nevada, Reno campus each morning, they may not realize that eight miles up the road on N. Virginia Street, lions, tigers, bears and many other exotic animals are wandering the grounds of the Sierra Safari Zoo, one local organization that provides the community with up-close encounters with wildlife from around the world. I think most of Nevada and especially Reno is pretty much on the edge of the desert, said Jimmie Martin, manager of the Sierra Safari Zoo. Were surrounded by desert and mountains. Its not that much what I would call urban. I mean, downtown sure is urban, but you dont have to go very far to get away from an urban setting. I think its very appropriate to have animal facilities around. Similarly, the Animal Ark is an animal sanctuary just a short drive away from the university campus. Despite its proximity to students, very few are aware of its existence, said Miriam Smith, development coordinator for the Animal Ark. Its sad to me that so many people in Reno dont know we exist, she said. People might come out and say that they lived in Reno for 20 years and didnt know what the Animal Ark was all about. Both the wildlife parks specialize in providing different services to the local community. The Sierra Safari Zoo focuses primarily on providing intimate encounters between visitor and animal. A real interesting thing that separates us from a lot of places is that the animals are very friendly, Martin said. Theyre very used to people. Its intimate. Youre close to a lot of the animals, and theyre friendly. Its easy to take a picture of them. They dont hide and run away. Theres 40 deer that eat out of your hand. You can pet them and so on. Theyre very comfortable with humans. Thats probably

the most unusual aspect. Although the Animal Ark also provides opportunities to view exotic animals up close, it prides itself as a sanctuary rather than a zoo. All of the animals that live at the Ark cant live in the wild for one reason or another, Smith said. All of the animals that come to us have a disadvantage in the wild. One mountain lion was hit by a car on Mount Rose when it was a little kitten. We kept it while it was healing, but then it had lost its formative months for learning to hunt in the wild. The Animal Ark houses mainly North American predators, including mountain lions, bears, coyotes, wolves and foxes. The majority of the animals about 60 percent, according to Smith were recovered from the wild in areas surrounding Reno. Likewise, the Sierra Safari Zoo is home to many predatory cats one of its main attractions is a liger, a crossbreed between a lion and tiger. Additionally, the zoo has more than 200 animals of more than 40 different species, including about 30 primates and 25 big cats such as hyenas and lions. Theres no way you can get the effect in lm or photographs or in a book as much as you can to actually look or interact with the animals, Martin said. You can see the iridescence of the colors in the reptiles and some of the parrots. You cant get that in a picture or lm or anything. Its just a much more real experience. Its thrilling. Its really interesting to see these animals up close. Both the Animal Ark and Sierra Safari Zoo are nonprot organizations that depend heavily on volunteers. Animal Ark also depends on about 70 volunteers to work with the animals, maintain the facility and promote the organization in the community at large. Smith said that most of the Animal Ark volunteers are

people who visited the sanctuary and immediately signed up to work. More volunteers interested in marketing, facility maintenance, food preparation for animals or other positions are always welcome, Smith said.

Ault says small plays had big impact on loss

LUBBOCK, TEXAS Just a handful of plays have made a world of difference in the Wolf Packs rst three games of the season, and the teams 35-34 loss to Texas Tech on Saturday night held true to the rest of the teams season so far. Not many expected Nevada to perform the way it did though, as the Wolf Pack was a 21-point underdog at the sports book. I thought the kids really played hard, they really did, had and play hard all the time. Although this is the nature of the sport, players in the press conference after the Texas Tech game made it clear that one play cannot be placed on a pedestal of signicance. The plays that dene the game are something you just have to deal with and learn from, Wolf Pack quarterback Tyler Lantrip and defensive lineman Brett Roy both said. would have stopped Oregons seven big plays that went for 303 yards? Without those, the Ducks would have had 300 yards total offense. The Wolf Pack had 516 total yards in that matchup. Say Wolf Pack wide receiver Rishard Matthews didnt force that fumble after an interception was thrown to San Jose State Universitys defensive back Pompey Festejo.

Staff Report
Excuses, lucky plays and mistakes aside; no team in Nevada athletics has a winning record. The volleyball team is 2-10 the worst start the team has had since 1990 when it started 2-10 and nished 2-32 in the Big Sky Conference. The soccer team is 2-9 on the season, and thats the worst start since 2008, when it took 12 games to achieve its rst victory. The cross country team hasnt nished rst-place overall in any events yet, and didnt achieve any last season either. The football team is 1-2 on the season, and Nevada football head coach Chris Ault doesnt believe in moral victories. Losing has always been unacceptable in his mind, and coming off a 13-1 season including a victory in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl, the feeling of victory is present for most everyone on the team. There comes a point when you have to start winning, Nevada Athletics Director Cary Groth said. Winning is so important because its directly tied to donations, its directly tied to attendance and ticket sales. Ruth Lawanson is entering her rst year as head coach of Wolf Pack volleyball, and although she was an assistant coach with the team last season, the transition has been anything but smooth. Volleyball was on a downward spiral, Groth said. When

you have a transition like that in volleyball with a new coach in there, we dont expect her to win very many matches this year as a team, but you do expect them to get better, and better and better. When Lawanson was asked how much responsibility she takes for the teams losses, she responded: I dont play, Lawanson said. I only prepare them to play, they have to go out and play and thats the bottom line. If the team doesnt execute, I cant play for them. Every coachs philosophy is different regarding how much responsibility they take for a teams loss. For instance, the Texas Tech defensive coordinator Chad Glasgow said after Saturdays game with the Wolf Pack: You know, players go to win football games and coaches go to lose it, Glasgow said. And its our responsibility to get them the right spots. Football is a lot different from volleyball, but the point remains. In football, there is no sense of disarray, and we want to win the conference, Groth said. In

Despite 2-10 record, team has condence in road ahead

By Lukas Eggen
When a team starts 2-10 and loses its rst conference game, players and fans alike might be quick to give up on the season and think that the team wont do much more than its predicted sixth- place nish. Yet, for the Nevada volleyball team, theres no panic. Theres no doubting, and no wholesale changes being made. In fact, its quite the opposite. The team has something that few would expect to hear condence. ule. Yet, the volleyball team may have had an even more challenging schedule to open its season. The teams match against the University of Nevada, Las Vegas on Wednesday was the teams rst home match of the season. And, combined with the unusually large crowd, which had the Blue Crew out in full force, facing the teams in-state rival and getting to play at home for the rst time, Nevada put on a performance not up to par by the teams standards, losing 3-0. We were just tight, Lawanson said. We wanted to play so well that we couldnt do it. During timeouts I kept telling them to just relax. Nevada played its rst 10 matches away from home. During that stretch, the Wolf Pack played the top-ranked University of California, Berkeley, Pac-12 school Washington State, Big 12 school Texas A&M and traditional volleyball powerhouse San Diego State. At home, we have our rhythm, our rituals and our pregame schedule that were used to and acclimated with, sophomore outside hitter Grace Anxo said. When youre at somebody elses place, its like you have to be here at this time. This is what were giving you, this is the availability, so take it and deal with it. The combination of traveling nearly every week, little to no time to scout opponents. Against Cal, the Wolf Pack led the rst set, before losing 26-24. During its 10-match streak away from home, Nevada lost 13 sets by four points or fewer, a sign that, though the team was struggling to get over the hump to get wins, the team was close to turning the corner. And though the team would have rather picked up more victories, the Wolf Pack is embracing its role as an underdog in the Western Athletic Conference this season.

hen I was a sophomore in high school, I was a timid teen. Not very outgoing, not very condent about much in life. Although I played football and baseball at the time, I was never very competitive. Whether we rode the bus home after our game with a win or a loss couldnt have Juan mattered less Lpez to me. When teammates or coaches of mine used to get really pissed after a loss, I couldnt understand why they allowed it to affect their mood so much. It was just a game. Then, my favorite coach, coach Esau, put it in perspective for me. He told my teammates and I that we are never going to go through life without losing. Losing happens to everyone. But when youre happy with a loss, thats when you need to re-evaluate what your purpose in taking on that task is because its obvious that success isnt a goal for you.
If youre going to do something, do it with a purpose, he said. If youre coming out here and are happy with a loss, dont bother coming out. There were a few curse words sprinkled in his speech that scared the crap out of me (guratively speaking, of course), but what I took from his lecture reshaped my outlook on all of lifes ventures: while lessons and experience are good and ne, the importance of winning stretches far beyond the win-loss column. It reaches into your mentality and simply helps put everyone at ease. Thats a problem Im seeing in Nevada athletics right now. During the weekend, the football, soccer and volleyball teams all lost at least once (soccer went 1-1), continuing their abysmal start to the season. The three squads have a combined record of 5-20. Last year at this point, the three teams had a combined record of 14-9-2. Its not difcult to see that Wolf Pack sports are cultivating a losing culture that needs to change or else these effects will snowball into sports later in the school year.

Nevada concludes its four-game road stretch at No. 4 Boise State this weekend. The Wolf Pack upset the Broncos last year 34-31 in overtime, handing Boise its only loss of the season and ending its BCS hopes. This year, quarterback Kellen Moore is among the top quarterbacks in the nation, throwing just two interceptions. Nevadas defense will have its hands full for the second week in a row.

WHOS NOT
SHANE ANDERSON FOOTBALL With Texas Tech leading by one point with less than 40 seconds to play, Nevada was down to its nal drive. Receiver Shane Anderson dropped a wide-open pass that could have moved the Wolf Pack into eld goal range, and an attempt at a game-winning kick by Anthony Martinez.
yler Lantrip is primarily a passer, and back-up Cody Fajardo complements Lantrips skills as a rabbitlike runner. While there can only be one sheriff in town, Nevada senior wide receiver Shane Anderson says theres room for both gunslingers in the Pistol Offense. And hes right. Its understood a quarterback requires a certain Eric Lee rhythm and the Cuntstillo players around him need consistency. Thats always comforting, but when youre a NCAA Division-I athlete, you need to be able to come off the bench at a moments notice and perform regardless. Others are expected to adjust accordingly to any player. So consider the benets of two quarterbacks sharing snaps. When two quarterbacks share time, it throws the defense off balance as it has to prepare for two skill sets. Once Fajardo displayed his breakout speed on a 56-yard touchdown run Saturday, the Texas Tech defense was probably expecting the Wolf Pack to use Fajardo
for running. Predictability can be a bad thing, but Nevada head coach Chris Ault still passed the ball with Fajardo after he started sharing time in the middle of the second quarter. Fajardo was able to connect on 4-of-6 passing attempts for 59 yards and a touchdown. He took 30 snaps in the game, 26 of which were running plays (10 of which he ran himself for 139 yards). Lantrip took 40 snaps total, and was able to connect on 11-of-18 passing attempts for 191 yards and a touchdown. Lantrip recorded seven rushing attempts for 17 yards. If Lantrip can establish himself as a procient passer and Fajardo can do the same as a runner, in theory, they should be able to throw the Boise State defense off guard by switching up each players attack plan. Give Lantrip a few more runs than expected and vice versa for Fajardo so Nevada will have the element of suprise on its side. A tandem at the quarterback position also gives each a chance to rest and collect his thoughts when subbed out. When Fajardo had his bell rung in the third quarter by a Texas Tech defensive lineman, Lantrip was there to give him a rest. With two starting-caliber quarterbacks, youre not risking as

much when you switch the two. Its a comforting feeling for Fajardo when Lantrip, with four years of experience, has his back. For both, this will only be added motivation to perform. The rst play Fajardo was in, he ran hard for 16 yards, showing how much he wanted to stay in. On the other side, Lantrips a true competitor. After he was subbed out and Fajardo scored two touchdowns, Lantrip answered immediately by connecting a 57-yard pass to wide out Rishard Matthews with two defenders taking him to the turf as he threw. Plus, Lantrip and Fajardo are friends who are willing to work together. This two-quarterback system Ault has going may not be all bad. And as long as Aults game plan leads the Wolf Pack to winning thats all that matters.

YAM NEEDS HELP FROM TEAM TO PROPEL THE PACK TO SUCCESS

The Nevada womens golf team nished in 17th place in its season-opening tournament at the Ptarmigan Ram Fall Classic in Fort Collins, Colorado. Senior Jamie Yam was the lone bright spot for the Wolf Pack as she nished shooting a 224 during three rounds in 28th place. The closest behind her on the Nevada roster was sophomore Joyce Chung who carded a 236 and tied for 67th. Yam led the Wolf Pack again Sept. 20 at the Washington State University Cougar Cup in Pullman Washington. She nished with a 226 on the scorecard, which was good for an eighth place nish. The performance helped Nevada reach a seventh-place nish overall. Freshman Taylor Brickell was the closest Nevada athlete behind Yam with a nal score of 236 that was good enough to tie for 41st place. The Wolf Pack will get 12 days off before its next tournament. The team will likely need strong performances from Brickell and others to seriously contend. Nevadas next outing is the womens Wolf Pack Classic is in Dayton on Oct. 3 and 4.

Pack frosh Reilly plays through the pain

By Michael Lingberg
Its a common sight to see freshman Bobby Reilly send a perfectly-placed ball into the back of the net during Nevadas soccer practices. When she gets into a game, her fancy footwork and crisp passes are put on display for all to see. Hailing from Sacramento, Reilly is one of those players with great potential, who makes anyone excited just thinking about it. Theres just one obstacle in her way. Reilly suffers from migraines. Ive had chronic migraines for almost eight years now, Reilly said. I throw up two to three times a week. I get dizzy. In training camp I would lose my vision, and I just wasnt playing to my potential. Being new to the University of Nevada, Reno and the soccer team, Reilly was quiet about her migraines. No one knew about her condition. However, her secret was let out when she fainted during a team-bonding trip to Mount Rose. Thats when I started going to the doctor, she said. It got to a point where I had to sit down so they could watch me and let my medicine run its course. Reilly isnt sure exactly what causes her migraines, but she does know that bright light and noise makes them worse. She also wakes up from time to time with a migraine. To combat her condition, she goes to physical therapy in Reno and Sacramento, ingests four different kinds of medication in capsules, and sometimes has to give herself leg injections when she gets hit with a particularly intense episode. She also has received 12 Botox injections in her face and in the back of her head. Botox shots, which are most commonly used to get rid of wrinkles, were approved in October 2010 by the FDA to treat migraines, so its a relatively new procedure. All of these treatments didnt bother her until she came here and wasnt able to play at the level she wanted to play. I felt like I was letting down my team and my coaches, she said. I just wanted to help them out and play most of all. I think Im a pretty mentally tough person. Her father, Dan Reilly, is grateful for the help the school has given his daughter. I have to give them credit, he said. They really jumped on it and got her to a specialist and physical therapist. The trainers have been fantastic. You can tell if she has a headache when she plays. When she does, she looks tired and tries to do too much. When she doesnt, she looks a lot faster and just plays her game.

only thing that denes Reilly. She has talents in other areas off the soccer eld. One of her favorite things to do is dance. She loves all dancing styles and music. Ive literally been dancing my whole life, she said. There are home movies of me dancing choreographed routines for my family. She also has a love for drawing. Animals, specically lions and cheetahs and other jungle creatures, are her favorite things to draw. I have a notebook here at school that I like to draw in, she said. I like to draw full-page pictures. It calms me down whenever I need a break from schoolwork or soccer. ting her on a more competitive team, Dan Reilly said. She was doing well, and they thought she might like it. Thats when Bobby Reilly joined her club team California Rush. She was a part of that team since she was 9 years old so she and her teammates were close friends and teammates. Her career really got interesting when she participated in a regional tournament as a part of the Manchester United Premier Cup in 2007. The winner of this Portland, Oregon tournament got the chance to travel to Sweden that year to take on 16 other teams from around the world for a chance to play the nal in Manchester Uniteds stadium Old Trafford. I had to miss the rst two games because of eighth-grade graduation, she said. But our team went 2-1 in the games I played in, and I won the Golden Boot award. The Golden Boot was awarded to the person who scored the most individual goals in the tournament. Reilly won the

award even though she missed two games. Her team, California Rush, was beaten by a team from Newport Beach, Calif., Slammers SC. The rst game I missed was the one against Slammers, she said. We tied them 0-0 so that was pretty cool to know we could hold our own against that team. Its tough to get that close to getting an opportunity to play soccer overseas only to fall short, but Reillys personality enabled her to be grateful for the chance. So far, her actions on and off the eld have impressed her teammates and coaches. Bobby is tenacious and aggressive on the eld, said head soccer coach Missy Price. But she also has a very fun, playful personality. Shes kind of a jokester or a trickster. Senior Ellie Stott said its difcult to see Reillys condition in her play. She plays with air and a sort of condence which is something you wouldnt expect from a freshman, Stott said. She brings a spark to the game. Now that Reilly is more comfortable with her teammates, they have been able to get away with more. We like to tease her about her fainting, said a smiling Stott. We joke around and wonder if shes going to pass out again. But shes a great kid. Shes focused and she laughs at my jokes, which makes me feel good. The more time she spends in the program the more condent and comfortable she gets. Someday, Reilly hopes to gure out how to get her migraines under control. When that day comes, the sky could truly be the

Being great at soccer isnt the
Lucky goal gives soccer team second victory of season

By Michael Lingberg
Sometimes its better to be lucky than good. Other times its better to be good than lucky. The Nevada soccer team was both in Friday nights match against the Sacramento State Hornets, when it came from behind to win 2-1 in overtime to break a ve-game losing streak. The rst half saw the Wolf Pack miss three goal-scoring opportunities. There were a few chances inside the box and only short yards to the goal, but the team couldnt capitalize on the three chances. The Hornets comparatively had ve shots on goal to no avail. Sacramento State started the second half quickly when junior Victoria Ramirez scored the rst goal of the match in the 46th minute by booting the ball into the upper left corner of the net. The Wolf Pack trailed by one for about 26 minutes of the second half until senior middle forward Ellie Stott scored the equalizer off a pass from senior defender Annabelle Allen. Allen crossed the ball into the box in the 73rd minute, and Stott hit the ball with her forehead straight at the Hornets goalkeeper, Savannah Abercrombie. But what looked like a sure save turned into a disaster for Sacramento State as the ball wriggled out of control and slowly rolled into the back of the net. Sure it might have been lucky, Stott said. But thats just

part of the game. You just have to take a chance. A goal is a goal. The Hornets had two chances to score the game-winning goal in the nal 10 minutes of regulation. Senior forward Caitlin Pulver had a 25-yard free kick that sailed just over the top left corner of the post in the 83rd minute, and sophomore forward Jordyn Rolling barely missed the right side of the net on a breakaway in the nal minute of regulation. In overtime, Wolf Pack sophomore forward Kori Disaruno took advantage of another Abercrombie error to score the winning goal. Her game-winning goal came with just 16 seconds left in overtime. The goal marked the teams second victory of the season, and the rst time Nevada scored more than one goal in a game all season long. My teammates were telling me to keep pressuring the keeper so I was in the right place to get the ball after it bounced off the two of them, Disaruno said. Abercrombie and senior defender Shea Roberts ran into each other trying to clear the ball, leaving the goal wide open for Disaruno. As the ball found the net, the crowd watching the
game screamed with pleasure at the come-from-behind win. Its the greatest kind of win, knowing you came from a goal down to take the game, head coach Missy Price said. To come back like that is nishing it, putting your stamp on it. The Wolf Pack then duked it out with the University of California, Davis on Sunday. Nevada couldnt nd the net on the way to a 1-0 loss. The Wolf Pack fell behind early when UC Davis Kelly Allison scored from 18 yards out after three minutes. Neither team was able to score after that, but the nal ve minutes featured some near-scores by Nevada. A mid-air collision between a Wolf Pack attacker and the Hornets
keeper left the keeper on the ground for a couple minutes, but no one was there to capitalize on the open goal. Though the team played better in the second half, as has been the case for much of the season, the team failed to nish possessions with goals. We changed our mentality at halftime, Price said. We got to more of the 50-50 balls in the second half, but we still struggled to nish. Nevada (2-9) will next pay a visit to Santa Clara on Thursday before meeting Hawaii next Sunday in the teams rst conference match.

take into account we played fantastic teams like Texas A&M, Washington State and Cal. We put up really hard-fought matches against them, and you cant see that on paper. So, I think it is an advantage that we are underestimated right now.
A FREE-FOR-ALL IN THE WAC?

Though the Wolf Pack was picked to nish sixth in the WAC Preseason Polls, players are condent that they will turn more than a few heads this season. In fact, at least one player said that the team has the potential to be near the top of the conference standings come WAC Tournament time. We would love to take a game from Hawaii, Anxo said. We want to have a winning season, but also us getting third or second would be awesome. Conventional wisdom would have people believe this is Hawaiis conference to lose. While the Rainbow-Wahine have dominated the regular season standings, senior Erin Garvey said Anxos prediction about what the team can accomplish is more than realistic. I dont think thats far off, Garvey said. I think we denitely have to stop making as many errors as we do, but we denitely have the talent to compete with anybody in the conference, and that includes Hawaii. Though Nevada lost its opening conference match Saturday vs. Fresno State, it showed exactly what Garvey said to expect from the conference this season unpredictability. I think its pretty even in the WAC, so it should be interesting to see where everyone stands, Garvey said. Even teams who have been weak in the past, like Louisiana Tech, are coming back strong. All the teams are on an even playing eld.
Case in point: in the Wolf Packs loss to Fresno State on Saturday, six points or fewer decided all ve sets. There were more than 22 lead changes throughout the match. After the loss to UNLV, Lawanson said the team will be more than ready to take on the rest of the conference season and succeed. Now, its conference time, Lawanson said. Hopefully, this will get us ready, and well do some better things in practice.
Nevada scored after recovering the fumble would have never came to fruition. What if SJSU quarterback Matt Faulkner put a little more oomph into his last-minute throw and it was caught for a touchdown instead of intercepted? It would have put SJSU up 21-17, and Nevada would have had to score in the nal minute of the game in order to achieve victory. It would have been good practice, because thats the situation Nevada found itself in against the Red Raiders in Lubbock, Texas. Texas Tech went 56 yards on nine plays during its nal drive that determined the 35-34 outcome. The drive came down to one play on fourth down at the Nevada one-yard line with 44 seconds left on the clock. Texas Tech quarterback Seth Doege dropped back to pass looking for his rst read: wide receiver Eric Ward on a short post route. Nevada cornerback Khalid Whooten played press coverage on Ward and took leverage on the inside. He tried to go inside, I had leverage, and I thought the quarterback got rid of it, Whooten said. I thought the ball was gone so I put my eyes in the backeld, and my man left me. Doege was pressured by Nevada defensive lineman Brett Roy. (Doege) looked around and there was no option, no option, no option, Roy said. When Doege couldnt nd Ward, he scrambled to the left.
Ward followed and cut to the outside breaking off his original route. (Doege) found (Ward) who leaked out, Roy said. When a guy has ve seconds to throw, hes more than likely going to nd someone. Doege did, and it put Nevada down by one with 36 seconds left to play. I know Khalid is blaming himself a little bit hard, but you cant ever put one play on any one person, Lantrip said. Nevada had 36 seconds to produce a game-winning score. Lantrip dropped back to pass on third and 10 after two incompletions, and he scrambled to the right. Slot receiver Shane Anderson was wide open. The ball was thrown perfectly but bounced right off Andersons chest at about the 50-yard line. I just told him forget about it, Lantrip said. One play doesnt mean anything, and its not anybodys fault so its something you just have to move on from. Although that may be true, the feeling was a little different for Anderson at Mondays practice. I took it real hard, and after the game, you know, I was just very somber, Anderson said. You have to have a short-term memory and just start practicing harder and working harder to make sure that doesnt happen again. The theme of the week will be the same for Nevada eld goal kicker Anthony Martinez who missed a 31-yard attempt. We missed that eld goal early in the second quarter, and it could have made the difference in the ball game, Ault said.

early in the second quarter and didnt give it up until the nal minute of the game. Even the Big-12 Texas Tech offensive coordinator Neal Brown admitted that the team may have underestimated the ability of Nevada. Everybody, and our kids included, probably looked at that Oregon score and thought, well, maybe theyre not as good, Brown said. Next Saturday at Boise State

wont be a similar situation. The Broncos look for redemption after arguably being knocked out of contention for the Bowl Championship Series when losing to the Wolf Pack last November. The rivalry will be there, Ault said. Theyre the best football team on our schedule so its going to take one heck of an effort.

LOOKING FOR POSITIVES

The Wolf Pack took the lead
#Winning
MAKING AN IMPACT
If Nevada is to be successful, look for both young players, such as Anxo, and older players, such as Garvey, to step up. For Anxo, having a year under her belt has made a world of difference. Moving into the outside hitter one position, Anxo has grown from a freshman trying to learn the collegiate game, to becoming one of the teams major players. Its kind of surprising how much more comfortable you are just having a year of experience under your belt, Anxo said. Youre a little bit less on edge as opposed to being a freshman. The difference? A full year to get to know, play and train with her teammates. We (the rest of last years freshmen) got to do spring conditioning and training with the team, Anxo said. I didnt have last year because I wasnt here in the spring or in the summer. Anxo responded by ranking third on the team in kills per set and second in digs per set. Coupled with a team composed of almost entirely returning players, the team believes that it is close to making a breakthrough. (We need to improve) our consistency, Anxo said. If we can eliminate those, well have tremendous success.

Because of the losing ways, were hearing a lot of the, Despite the loss, we were happy with the way we played, blah, blah, blah. Its understood that coaches and players have to nd silver linings in every experience, win or loss, but Nevada athletes are wearing out these silver linings. Despite the football teams (1-2) loss, fans were happy seeing freshman Cody Fajardo tear up Texas Tech last weekend for three touchdowns (two rushing, one passing). Despite the Wolf Pack soccer teams 2-9 record, head coach Miss Price said, We played well for a good majority of the match, and I am happy with the way we are competing as we get closer to the start of conference play. And despite its 2-10 record, the Nevada volleyball team is also holding steady to its, Were happy with how were improving mentality. But when is enough, enough? We know coaches and players are simply trying to save
face by telling us the knowledge they gained was greater than the loss they endured, but its complete bull. Nothing is a substitute for winning. Winning improves your teams mentality and lets everyone know that theyre good enough to win. Winning enhances your teams fan base because the more you win, the more reason people have to come out and see you. Finally, it eases everyone up because when teams are losing, everyones on edge and takes things more personally. But winning cures everything. Its easier said than done, but Nevada coaches and athletes need to stop being content with simply competing. Attitudes like this are poor, and if this continues, it will snowball into spring sports. Teams cannot be happy by simply gaining new experience. This is not about gaining experience, its about winning. Winning may not be the only thing, but its effects make it feel like nothing else matters.

some of our other sports, its going to be a little bit more difcult with some of the changes in coaches. Volleyball and soccer havent been teams to draw in mass amounts of prot throughout the years, according to Groth.
Teams just have to keep moving forward and strive for success. You just have to watch how youre progressing in your programs, Groth said. Soccer has been a program in much disarray for a few years so (head coach) Missy (Price) is trying to get that stabilized. Price has tried a few different strategies in pursuing success on the soccer pitch, includ-
ing putting the girls in more in-game situations and trying different practice schedules to get the most out of her team. But winning at all costs is not the message that Groth wanted to pass down in the interview because the athletes are, of course, students rst. The most important thing for any program is progress. But there comes a point in
every program when you have to start winning or changes will need to be made, Groth said. Its real important because were about 80 percent self funded so if we dont generate that type of competition then its much more difcult for us.

KEY MATCHUP
N Nevadas d offensive ff i line li vs. Boise States front seven

The Broncos have eight sacks and 16 tackles for loss for the season. If Nevada is to be successful, the Wolf Pack must give quarterbacks Tyler Lantrip and Cody Fajardo time, as well as giving lanes for running back Mike Ball to run through.
Nevada wide receiver Rishard Matthews is averaging just less than 100 receiving yards per game.
MAKING THE CALL
STAFF PICKS
OPTIMIST SAYS: The quarterback duo of Tyler Lantrip and Cody Fajardo, along with running back Mike Ball are enough to give Boise States defense ts. Quarterback Kellen Moore throws a rare interception and, unlike past seasons, the Wolf Pack jumps out to a big early lead. The game becomes a shootout in the second half, with Nevada coming up with one more big play than the Broncos. OUTCOME: Nevada wins 45-42 PESSIMIST SAYS: The Broncos are looking for revenge. Moore is one of the best quarterbacks in the nation and the pass game rips Nevadas secondary to shreds. The Broncos defense gets to Nevada quarterbacks Lantrip and Fajardo all game long as the Broncos take a big lead into the half. Unlike previous seasons, however, Nevada lacks the repower to get back into the game. OUTCOME: Boise State wins 51-20
DIFFERENCE MAKER DOUG MARTIN

The passing game, with good reason, has attracted most of the national attennnior tion. But the Wolf Pack cant forget about running back Doug Martin. The senior e may only be averaging 67.3 yards per game, but thats because the pass game has been so efcient. With Moore likely demanding most of the focus on the defensive side of the ball, Martin could be set to have a big game against the Wolf ds Pack. In two games against Nevada, Martin has rushed 40 times for 280 yards (7.0 yard per carry) and two touchdowns. Martins longest run of the season is only 33 yards, but he has the speed and power to break off the big run. So, while Nevada is busy trying to stop Moore and the receivers, look for Martin to make the most of what could be a golden opportunity to shine.
