Students await DREAM Act

Editors Note: As a precaution, Hannahs name has been changed for this article.

Hannah cant drive a car. She cant get a job, a loan or a scholarship to pay for schooling at the University of Nevada, Reno. She doesnt travel and steers clear of parties or anywhere she might need to show her ID. Hannah is an undocumented student. Literally, Im a bird in a cage, the 20-year-old international affairs major said. Hannah, of Asian origin, moved to the United States when she was ve. She graduated from elementary, middle and high school in Reno. Although Reno is the only home shes

ever known, she is an illegal immigrant and ineligible for many of the pleasures and necessities a 20-year-old U.S. citizen takes for granted. This could change for her today, however, if the U.S. Senate passes the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act. The act, known by the acronym DREAM, would grant illegal immigrants between the ages of 15 and 35 conditional permanent residence if they entered the country before the age of 15 and completed at least
two years of college or military service. Only U.S. high school graduates without criminal records would be eligible. The DREAM Act is expected to hit the Senate oor today as an amendment to the Department of Defense Authorization Bill. U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) or Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) is expected to sponsor the amendment. Supporters say the DREAM Act promotes education among the marginalized immigrant population and will bring un- See DREAM Page A6
documented students into the ecomomy and taxpayer base. Opponents say the act will take away education opportunities from children who are in the country legally and add to taxpayers woes. The Department of Defense has taken the act as a potential resource for the armed forces, said Jose Parra, a spokesman for Sen. Reids ofce. With two years of military service as a qualifying criterion, the act will bring more people into the service, he said. The U.S. Department of Defense supports the DREAM Act because it will help us maintain our all-volunteer military force, Parra said. About 65,000 youth with illegal immigrant status would
ASUN discusses support of Act

By Don Weinland
The Associated Students of the University of Nevada senate took notice of the DREAM Act in early September. Director of the ASUNs Unity Commission introduced a resolution promoting the DREAM Act to the senate Sept. 8. A motion to fast track the bill failed and the bill was sent to the Committee on Public Affairs. The contents of the ASUN resolution will be determined by Tuesdays expected vote on the DREAM Act in the U.S. Senate. The ASUN bill could thank

Survey to dictate new fee

By Don Weinland
A new student life fee could be introduced if students respond positively to a web survey from Student Life Services. Student Life Services will issue the survey in mid-October, said Gerald Marczynski, associate vice president of Student Life Services. The survey will assess what services students are willing to pay for, along with their tuition. What the concept is, is to get student feedback on resources students are willing to support in the form of a mandatory fee, Marczynski said. Student Life Services has not released the exact content of the survey. Marczynski said it will focus on seven to eight areas, many of which are previously eliminated programs. Veronica Dahir, senior manager of the Center for Research, Design and Analysis, is developing the survey

RESIGNATIONS
Sen Sen. Lauren Riley of the College of Science resigns as ASUN senator Oct. 8. Sen. Brandon Jung of the College of Liberal Arts resigns Oct. 15. Points for unexcused absences accrued by Senators Veloz, Truax and Khan are reduced by Committee on Oversight. No senators are censured.
were any points senators accumulated between the end of last school and the senates interim session, which began June 2. The reduction of points brought the three senators point count below ve, the number at which censure is recommended. Jung and Riley would still have been recommended for censure, even with the Committee on Oversights decision to reduce the points, Bishop said. The majority of the points accrued by the two former senators were not accumulated during the May 27 meeting, or the period between spring semester and interim.

A second Associated Students of the University of Nevada senator resigned Wednesday due to nancial and time constraints. Sen. Brandon Jung of the College of Liberal Arts cited unforeseen nancial problems and time constraints as his reason for resignation. He could not be reached for further comment. The resignation came a week after Sen. Lauren Riley of the College of Science resigned for similar reasons. Both Jung and Riley were recommended for censure after missing a number of required meetings and ofce hours during the spring and summer. Senate Speaker Brandon Bishop said the resignations are unfortunate. Senators resigning is disappointing because they were elected to serve and there were other students running for the positions, he said. The Committee on Oversight ruled Wednesday that no senators would be censured. Points that senators Reynaldo Veloz, Chelsea Truax and Adam Khan accrued for absences were reduced when the committee deemed certain points invalid. Absences during a May 27 meeting were disregarded, as

Res. hall communities double

By Ben Miller
The Residential Life, Housing and Food Service is considering adding more living learning communities in the residence halls after doubling the number this semester due to growing demand, a university ofcial said. Three communities were added for journalism, engineering and arts students, boosting their total population by about 60, said Teresa Galvin, area coordinator for retention programs. A living learning community-oriented residence hall has been proposed behind Canada Hall to be opened in the summer of 2012, said Gerald Marczynski, associate vice president of student life services at the University of Nevada, Reno. The programs are designed to put students in the same majors close to each other and help them earn higher grades through collaboration. Students sign up for the same introductory and math classes, said Argenta Hall Resident Director Jessica Halvorson. Those classes can get pretty big, so having a familiar face in the crowd is really helpful, Halvorson said. The immediate availability of students in the classes usually means the formation of more study groups, Galvin said. Ultimately, the outcome for living learning communities is a higher grade point average, a higher likelihood of returning to the dormitories after the rst year and a lower chance of dropping out. Stefan Briones, a 20-year-old electrical engineering major who was a member of a living learning community his rst year at the university, said the community helped him academically. However, the social environment was secluded, he said. Students did not stray far from their friends in the community when they went out, so while they didnt make many friends outside the residence hall, the group of friends inside became quite close, he said. Many of his friends today were made inside that community, he said. Stephanie Duffy, an 18-yearold undeclared major in the Honors Program community in Argenta Hall, said the program has also helped her academically. The best thing is that if I do need help with something ... in my opinion, this is where all the smartest people on campus are, she said. The worst part, however, is the seclusion. I understand that our (resident assistant) is trying to get us to bond, but by doing that shes excluding other people, she said. Duffy said she would still recommend the program to new students. The seclusion is why Duffy doesnt agree with the idea of the new residence hall. Marczynski said the building would include classroom space and faculty ofces. Duffy said this would mean students would leave their buildings even less than they do currently.

services that were eliminated due to budget shortfalls in the past, Dahir said. She said she couldnt comment on the specic services in order not to skew survey data. Dahir said she encourages students to respond to the survey because it could determine what resources are available to them in the future.

Facebooks Places creates privacy problems for users

By Don Weinland
New geolocation applications like Facebooks Places are drawing the attention of privacy advocates and technology experts but not necessarily social media users. Of the 500 million Facebook users, 450 million dont realize the depth of Facebook settings like Places, said Steven Zink, former editor in chief of the Journal of Government Information and vice president of technology at the University of Nevada, Reno. Places, introduced to Facebooks staple repertoire of applications Aug. 18, is a smartphone based service that allows users to check in at a location, or make known their whereabouts via their account. The service also allows friends to check each other in and post each others locations. Although users are free to opt out of the service, Places is automatically enabled without user consent. The result could be the availability of personal information, including a persons whereabouts in real time, unbeknownst to the user, Zink said. You are not positively assenting to do this, Zink said. Facebook is not coming out and asking you, Do you want these people to know where you are? Places and other location services like Foursquare and Godwalla may pose new security and privacy threats in cyberspace, Zink said. Such advances in technology require a rewiring of user awareness, he said. I think its really a risk, Zink said. One grows up with a sense of dont take candy from strangers, dont get in a car with a stranger. Its almost like magic now that you can know where one is, and actually see where they are. While the governments ability to collect information on citizens is limited, no laws dictate the amount of private information a corporation can collect from

willing users, Zink said. The U.S. Constitution is basically silent on privacy, he said. Theres a lot of restraint on government to do this, but not so much on business. The American Civil Liberties Union says the new Facebook service is problematic. Lee Rowland, the ACLU of Nevadas northern coordinator, said it is Facebooks responsibility to inform users about where private information may end up. Facebook is not providing its customers with an opt out function, she said. People have a right to know when that information is being made public. Among the risks of the misuse of customer location data is identity theft and losses in personal, educational and work data, Rowland said. The website pleaserobme. com collects personal location information in order to demonstrate the dangers of letting potential strangers know where you are. The site says oversharing information can lead to burglary. The danger is publicly telling people where you are. This is because it leaves one place youre denitely not ... home, the site states. The goal of this website is to raise some awareness on this issue and have people think about how they use services like Foursquare, Brightkite, Google Buzz, etc. Kevin Grant, an alumnus of UNRs College of Engineering,

is developing location services in Sweden for a technology company called Qubulus. Grant said that such services are fair as long as customers have the option not to share their location information. There is a ne line to be walked with privacy issues, he said. But so far, it seems that as long as there is a clear option to be able to opt-in or opt-out of the service, then it seems to be ne. Facebook already has the option to disable let friends post your location. Joseph Atkins, a 19-year-old computer science major, said he disabled Places because hes uncomfortable with people knowing where he is. I dont want people to know where I am all the time, he said. Its a little unsettling. Theres a time and a place when I want people to know where I am, and theres a time and a place where I dont.

Campus Club to bring Vietnamese culture to students Events

LOOKING FORWARD
By Zach Kloetzer
The Asian American Student Association will teach students how to make spring rolls at 1 p.m. Friday in the Joe Crowley Student Union. The free demonstration is on Vietnamese-style spring rolls. The ingredients used to make the rolls set Vietnamese and other Asian-style spring rolls apart, said Daniel Fong, president of the association. Vietnamese spring rolls are traditionally lled with shrimp or pork, lettuce, cucumber and vermicelli noodles, a thin, white rice noodle popular in Southeast Asia. The ingredients are then wrapped in an opaque rice paper and sometimes dipped in peanut sauce. But students can put whatever they want in their spring rolls at the event this Friday, Fong said. The learning event will be tasty and educational, he said. Its a very cultural experience, Fong said. Everybody likes food, so why not learn to make food from other countries and eat it? The AASA chose to teach students how to make spring rolls because they are easy to make and they dont require much preparation, Fong said. The association held a similar event last year and when asked by the planners of the How To series to do it again, the AASA agreed, he said. Duke Ly, owner of local Chinese restaurant Pho Country 2, said spring rolls are an integral part of Vietnamese cuisine. In Vietnam we make spring rolls a lot for our meals for years and years, he said. They are important to our culture. Twenty years ago, the many varieties of Asian food were often mistaken for Chinese food and wasnt very important to Americans, Ly said. Recently, Americans have started to differentiate between Vietnamese

Walid Shoebat, a man that claims to be a former terrorist, will give a speech on the matter at Spirit Filled Church in Sparks on Sunday, according to the church pastor Gabriel Rodriguez. Shoebat claims to have once been a member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, a group that fought Israelis, and to have spent time in a Jerusalem prison for the violence. He is now an American citizen. Rodriguez said Shoebats speech will help clear up confusion about both Christian and Islamic philosophies. (Hes) trying to bring clarity as to what the moderate Muslims are saying and what extreme Muslims are saying, Rodriguez said. (Hes) bringing a contrast between Christianity, being a non-violent religion, and Islam. Shoebats story has been questioned by critics, but Rodriguez said he is condent in Shoebats claims. I think that if he was a bona fide liar and caught in many lies, I dont think he would be used by a lot of the critical media sources out there to speak on Islamic issues, he said. Rodriguez said he hopes the speech will enlighten people about religious issues going on in the world and clear up misconceptions about Christianity and Islam. We think people should come so they could have a better understanding and to be able to ... strengthen their understandings so they can get in better dialogues with people regarding these religious matters, Rodriguez said.
CHILD THREATENS TO BURN DOWN SCHOOL IN PRANK CALL

A local juvenile made a prank call threatening to burn down Westergard Elementary School Friday, forcing the elementary school and Billinghurst Middle School to enforce a code yellow lockdown, according to Nancy Leuenhagen, a spokesperson for the Washoe County School District. The child misdialed when making a series of prank calls and mistakenly told a random Reno resident of his alleged plans. She then notied the Washoe County Sheriffs Ofce.

BROADCAST CLUB
State goals set to increase grad rates

By Ben Miller
An initiative adopted by the Nevada System of Higher Education Board of Regents could lead to less required credits, more students graduating on accelerated tracks and more midnight classes at the University of Nevada, Reno. Governor Jim Gibbons and NSHE Chancellor Dan Klaich signed onto Complete College America, a collaboration between 23 states, in February, said Sharon Wurm, the NSHE coordinator of the project. The regents goal is to increase the number of young adults in Nevada with a college degree or certicate to 60 percent by 2020. Meeting this goal will be the only way Nevadas jobs can be lled by Nevada workers, Wurm said. Currently, 30 percent of Nevadans aged 25 to 64 have a college degree. The Board of Regents heard presentations about CCA on Sept. 10 as well as the College Access Challenge Grant, a federal grant awarded to several states meant to raise enrollment in higher education. Action on both initiatives are in the planning stages, NSHE ofcials said, but Wurm has already identied many steps schools could take to raise the number of graduates. The board may be presented with the option of limiting the number of credits required for degrees, she said. The suggested cap is at 120 credits. Many degrees at UNR require 128 or more credits, which would mean cutting about three classes out of many students curriculums. Wurm said the reductions wouldnt hurt the universitys quality of education. Everything we do still has to go through accreditation and match up with (the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities) requirements, she said. Wurm also said that more emphasis could be placed on accelerated tracks, which can graduate four-year students in

three years by making sure they take a full class load along with summer classes. More late-night classes could also be offered, Wurm said. Such classes would help t into students busy schedules, she said. President Milton Glick said administrators are already working toward graduating more students. Administrators have set a high priority on encouraging students to take full class loads, he said. This makes students more likely to graduate on time and earn a higher grade point average. He said challenges to the universitys compliance with the initiative have already arisen. Our ability to achieve those goals is very much hindered by the fact that were down 400 positions in faculty, Glick said. The universitys ability to graduate more students in the future will depend on the actions of the state legislature in regards to funding higher education, Glick said. The CACG will give money to programs designed to create a college-going culture in Nevada, Magdalena Martinez, the coordinator of the grant, said. The main goals of the effort are to help students better understand how to apply for nancial aid, begin accelerated associates degree tracks at community colleges and increase the presence of higher education institutions in the media.

Student newscast could air locally

By Coree J. Hogan
A broadcast club at the University of Nevada, Reno will shoot the rst episode for a weekly newscast Sept. 29, one which might air on public television. The 30-minute program, Wolf Pack Week, will be lmed at KNPB Channel 5 at the north end of the University of Nevada, Reno. If the station approves it, it will be aired in October, making it UNRs rst student-run news broadcast to air publicly, Lindsey Gross, the clubs president, said. The pilot will also be pitched to student services with the hopes of playing it in the residence halls, the Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center and the Joe Crowley Student Union. Stewart Cheifet, a journalism professor and broadcast club adviser, said 20 to 25 students are working on the show. He said the format of the newscast is similar to Sunday morning network news and will have four segments news, arts and entertainment, student life and sports. Six students will be on camera as hosts and anchors while the rest will ll technical positions, he said. A weekly airing of the newscast will present challenges to the club members, Cheifet said. He said students have not been trained to use studio equipment and many are new to broadcasting. To get airtime, Cheifet said the nal product should look professional. He said the news broadcast will give students the experience necessary to compete for jobs and internships after graduation. This is a transition from the equal opportunity academic environment to the real world market environment, where you need the best people to do the best job, Cheifet said. Once you get out of the classroom, you have to be the best at what you do. Cheifet said Wolf Pack Week is looking to form a partnership with The Nevada Sagebrush similar to professional media relationships. Gross said Wolf Pack Week still lacks funding. Most of the money for the program will be provided by the Associated Students of the University of Nevada, but the cost of tapes and legallyrequired closed captioning has yet to be covered, she said. The group requested $5,000 from ASUN. Gross said Wolf Pack Week will be similar to an unpaid intern-

If the criteria of the act are met during the six-year period, legal permanent status will be granted. Students with conditional permanent residency are not eligible for federal scholarships and grants, such as the Pell Grant. This isnt the rst time the act has been read on Capitol Hill. In October 2007, passage of the DREAM Act failed the Senate by eight votes. Hannah said years of anticipating passage of the act have left her weary. Im tired of getting my hopes up for no reason, she said. Ive always thought of everything as if, but Im tired of that. Im living in the moment. The realization came slowly to her.

country, she said. People say Hispanic high schoolers have the highest dropout rate, she said. Can you imagine going to high school knowing you cant go to college or get a job someday? Ira Mehlman, national media director of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, said the act has failed in the past because Americans oppose added costs to taxpayers. The reason why this hasnt passed in 10 years is because (Americans) are opposed to it, he said. One thing middle class families are talking about is how to get the kids through college. (The DREAM Act) could be very costly to taxpayers, and there will be other people denied education opportunities as a result. Janine Hansen, head of the Eagle Forum and Elko assemblywoman candidate, said the act would divert educational funds from American citizens. They certainly are unfortunate victims, in that their parents decided to break the law, and I sympathize with them, she said. But resources are limited and need to go to legal
American students. Shannon Ellis, UNRs vice president of student services, said the DREAM Act would bring undocumented students into the economic loop, relieving the population of its reputation as a tax-drain. The DREAM Act eliminates that label for those people, she said. It brings them into the tax base. Id like their taxes and their contribution to K12 education. As an educational institution, Ellis said the universitys goal is to educate young people in the area, regardless of their legal status. The DREAM Act would work toward that goal, she said. I hope the result would be students, who may be afraid, would come and get a higher education, Ellis said. For those students who are currently enrolled, it would pull them out of the shadows. The Nevada System of Higher Education does not require students to provide proof of their citizenship during application and enrollment, Ellis said.

Unity Commissioner Manpreet Kaur said it was important that ASUN voice its opinion on the act because its a policy that will directly affect students on campus. The ASUN senate passed an identical resolution in October 2007 during the DREAM Acts rst trial in congress. Sean McDonald, a former ASUN senator, remembers voting on the Act in 2007. He said there were conflicting views on the content and significance of the act. Its very rare for ASUN to take a position on issues of national significance, he said. It was an important step for ASUN to take.

Volunteer group recruits record number of students

By Ben Miller
An international volunteering organization signed up a record number of students Sept. 16 to volunteer over the summer, according to Meetal Gandhi, a recruiter for the group. International Student Volunteers sends college students from several countries abroad to both volunteer in conservation and community projects and have fun with activities such as kayaking, surng and glacier climbing. Gandhi and another recruiter visited the University of Nevada, Reno to talk to classes, hold information sessions and sign students up for trips. Gandhi said 147 students signed up, compared to a previous UNR-best of 105. Students can also earn academic credit for volunteering in several majors by coordinating with their professors and colleges, he said. Volunteer projects in the past have included building a sidewalk on a dangerous street, working in a shelter for those victims of sex trafcking and research with turtle eggs, said Michelle Immel, Gandhis recruitment partner. Students said they signed up because of the opportunity to travel and a personal desire to volunteer. Amrit Kaur, a 20-year-old speech pathology and audiology major, said she hopes to travel to the Dominican Republic. The biggest project there is the social project where you get to help kids learn English, and I really like to do that, she said. Kaur travels to India every other summer with her parents and taught English to children there last summer. Kaur has applied to travel with ISV twice before, but said that she didnt have enough money to go. Four-week trips cost about $4,000 and two-week trips cost about $2,500, said Immel. Ashley Slusher, a 21-year-old dual major in wildlife ecology and conservation and biology, said she would recommend ISV to other students. You usually get the tourist side of the country, and in ISV, you actually get to go into the villages and do things you normally wouldnt get to do, she said.
STUDENT VOLUNTEERS
St Students d t can choose h between conservation or community development in seven countries. To apply, go to http:// www.isvonline.com/apply_ now.html Applications are noncommittal.
Slusher volunteered with the group in Thailand, New Zealand and Australia and said she hopes to volunteer in Africa with the group sometime in the future. She said she earned three independent study credits toward her biology major for her volunteer efforts in Thailand. She helped plant trees, kill invasive plants and took care of elephants on her trips, she said. Students can apply to go on trips this summer online, but are less likely to be guaranteed a place than students who applied during the recruiters trip to campus, Gandhi said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

SEX COLUMN CONCERNS
On Sept. 6, via mail: Dear Editor, Tarah Bowsers August 31 column on the joys of boundless sex suffers from a glaring omission. She makes no distinction between sex within marriage and promiscuity. In 1933, a book, Sex and Culture, by J.D. Unwin,, was published in England. The author, who was not a Christian but an unbeliever, studied a number of cultures, and found that no civilizations could sustain both great achievement and sexual licentiousness for more than a generation. The reason apparently is that the achievements of civilzation are due in large part to transmuted sexual energy. George Orwell, also an unbeliever, apparently agreed, for he said in one of his essays that no society could survive without demanding a high standard of sexual morality. Now, with value-free sex education and free condoms for kids (even without their parents consent) the American illegitimacy rate is around 40 percent. In 1965, when the Moynihan Report was published, and there was much less sex education and probably no free condoms, the black illegitimacy rate was around 20 percent and the white rate in the single digits. Maybe in the future column, Ms. Bowser will explain how she expects the country to survive wiith an illegitimacy rate of 40 percent and rising. Bill Hamma, UNR alum
STAFF EDITORIAL I POLITICS
DREAM Act would benet entire nation
he DREAM Act is essentially a bill that supports education, and the university community would be smart to back it. The Act gives illegal immigrants who moved to the United States before they were 15 years old conditional permanent residency, given they meet some requirements. Illegal immigrants between the ages of 15 and 35 would be granted conditional
permanent residence if they entered the country before the age of 15 and completed at least two years of college or military service. Only U.S. high school graduates without any criminal records would be eligible. The Associated Students of the University of Nevada Senate passed its support of the Act after a heated severalhour long debate three years ago. Now that the Act is
expected to be heard on the U.S. Senate floor sometime today, this sessions student senate should move quickly to show its stance on the legislation before it becomes too late. The resolution proclaiming the ASUNs support of the DREAM Act is held up in committee, and will be pointless if not passed right away. The DREAM Act should be supported because it gives young adults access to higher
education. Any universitys mission should be centered on educating people regardless of their citizenship status. This bill would allow students to legally get access to financial aid, jobs and eliminate the fear in attending college. Not only would more college-educated people help boost the economy as more professionals enter the work force, but the bill would allow an estimated 65,000 people already in the country
to pay taxes for the goods and services they would be using whether or not they are granted residency. Most importantly, this bill is about giving these young adults most of who moved into this country without a choice hope for a more permanent status, an education, a job and a future in the place they call home.

AMY BALAGNA /NEVADA SAGEBRUSH
On Sept. 20, via e-mail: Dear Editor-I am writing as a very disgruntled Cal fan. Not because of the sound beating we took from a great UNR football team, and one of the greatest quarterbacks I have ever seen play, but from the terrible experience our family had on our rst football road trip. The U of N fans were just terrible! We purchased 2 youth tickets and 2 adult tickets to Friday nights game. ($100) We assumed the game would be family friendly, since they offered youth priced tickets. Much to our dismay, nothing could have been further from the truth. The environment was nasty and unpleasant. The Nevada fans were drunk, disrespectful and discourteous. Many were swearing at us with behavior that was both belligerent and offensive. As a family we looked forward to our rst away game. Upon arriving at the campus, our rst visit, we were impressed. My older son, age 11, stated, Mom, I think I like this place better than Cal. Our decision to attend this away game was to expose our boys to college life. For the rst time in over 20 years I left a college game early. I feared for the safety of our family. My 7 year old held his hand over the Cal logo on his sweatshirt while walking to the bathroom as he was tormented and jeered by drunken fans. Sadly, as we walked down through campus back to our car my oldest son stated, I would never come to this school. This was just horrible! Many Cal alums attended the game with their families and young children. I have read numerous postings on Facebook regarding the game experience of my friends. Unfortunately, many visiting families were taunted, teased and bullied. I am grateful that Pac-10 Games are alcohol free and much more family friendly. We have family in the Reno area and were hoping to return to a game one day. Our experience at Friday nights game was so negative, it is unlikely we will attend any UNR games in the future. What a disappointment! Teresa Bolla, UC Berkeley Alum, 1989
1) SEX
Being open about sexuality on Facebook is one thing. Posting stories about your sex life is another. When I am cruising about my News Feed, checking out what my friends have Patrick been up to the past couple of days, Connolly the last thing I really expect to see is how someone stuck it in a hot dudes ass twice today for his rst time. Are you serious? I mean, I love talking about sex as much as the next over-sexed gay college male does, but for the love of God, I really dont need to see that kind of information. So, for future reference, please remember that while we all love a good romp in the hotel room, the rest of the free world does not care to know that much about your sex life.
OVERCOMING CHALLENGES
Living with epilepsy is a hurdle, not a roadblock
2) DRUG DEALS
So, at this point in our lives, the craziness of college life may lead a couple of us down a dark and dangerous path to the world of drugs. Im not talking about shooting up meth here simply about a woman named Mary Jane. From time to time, she can make us feel elated and relaxed. Some people have even used this magical herb to enlighten themselves to write absolutely fantastic music. Obviously, there are some people out there that try to nd inspiration far too often. If you have smoked so much pot that you are posting about deals online, then maybe its time to lay off the pipe. As you post that wonderful picture of a bud and talk about how you need to come over and smoke that, little did you know that maybe, just maybe, the police are monitoring your page. Instead of pufng your magic dragon, try to think about what the repercussions of posting that information might do to you.
3) ARGUMENTS
Okay, well make this one short and sweet. Every now and then, we get upset with our signicant other or friend and feel the need to let the world know how stupid they are. Little do we think that they might just be as pissed off as we are and decide to comment our status as well. So instead of arguing about your ass of a boyfriend, try to think about how embarrassing it would be if you found yourself on the pages of lamebook.com. Which, by the way, everyone has got to check out.

am going to get married someday. Im going to have children, who Ill drive to school and take to soccer practice and ballet lessons. I am going to use my degree to become an educator and earn a steady income. I will travel the world and live my life just as anyone else would. But two years ago, a doctor told me none of that would be possible. I was told to drop out of school and accept the fact that epilepsy would take hold of my life forever. Although it was jarring to hear that as an Katie 18-year-old, Garner this doctor had medical reasoning behind her opinion. I was diagnosed at age 15 and have since had 27 seizures, the most recent of which sent me to the oor of the Joe Crowley Student Union, giving me rug burn across my face. Traumatized onlookers may disagree, but to me, it was mild. My most severe seizures have occurred in places that have
threatened my physical safety. When I was 16, after a year of being seizure-free, I had a near-drowning experience in the middle of Pyramid Lake. Luckily, my stepdad was quick to notice my absence and grabbed my hand right before my sinking body was too far out of reach. Nine months and three seizures later, I woke up on the ground in my garage with a running treadmill scraping away the skin on my left hip. Seizures have taken a toll on more than just my physical body. Most of the memories of my rst year in college are lost. It would be an understatement to describe that year as difcult, but dropping out of school was never an option to me. There was no way I was going to sacrice my happiness or my future to live as a sick person. Instead, I looked for alternatives. I quickly realized I had to make some changes. Adjusting my day-to-day life was a small sacrice to keep me on the path toward my aspirations. For the most part, I live like a normal college student, but I need to take special care of myself. I need to pay more attention than most people
my age to things like getting enough sleep, maintaining a healthy diet and taking medication twice a day. I would be lying if I said I went through these adjustments without resenting my own body and the people in my life encouraging me to make them. I know that they are for the best, but I still cannot help but think of the limitations they have put on my daily life. Unless I go three months without a seizure, I cant drive a car. I cant swim alone. I cant step on a treadmill without the scar on my hip reminding me of the risk I am taking. There are moments I hate the fact that Im one in the ve percent of epilepsy patients that cant nd relief through medication or brain surgery. I cannot trust my body and thats something that few people my age understand. Despite that, I cant imagine my life without this lesson. I appreciate what my body is capable of doing, despite its limitations. In a way, it has only changed me for the better.

Regression creates an The Tea Party stands for ideal world for Tea Party truth in American values
hen asked to write about the Tea Party, I had to take a step back and think very hard about how to write a thoughtful, respectful article about a party that believes I suffer from a mental condition. It goes without saying that this was a challenge, but here is an Jacob evaluation Neely that is about as objective as I can get in regards to this topic: At its core, the Tea Party is the extremist right wing of the Republican Party. They are so extreme that their own party fears the idea of their gaining too much political clout. In fact, when Christine ODonnell won the Delaware Republican Primary last week, the Republican National Committee did not welcome her warmly. The Tea Party terries the moderate voter and only embraces their extremist base. But on the same token, the Tea Party is the only reason Sen. Harry Reid is not crashing and burning in the polls. Moderate voters fear the Tea Party. They claim to exist as a response to out of control
government spending and President Barack Obamas Socialistic policies. This is highly over-simplied. They are also advocating for discrimination based on religious views that not every American holds, checking Obamas birth certicate (even the real thing didnt convince them), removing afrmative action because of reverse racism, using imminent domain to annex the mosque near Ground Zero (which is not legal at all), eliminating entire bureaucracies with thousands of government jobs, removing existing domestic partner benets from their own employees, etc. I could go on all day. And yes, these are issues that their leaders have brought to the front lines of politics in the past. At best, the Tea Party can be described as the opposite of progress. It is the part of America that is terried of changing the status quo. They dream of returning to the 1950s, when we had a booming economy and the resources to get what we wanted when we wanted it. Sounds good when said like that. However, they seem to have forgotten the 1950s sucked for everyone but white, straight men more than 21 years old. They make an assumption that everyone in this country is religious and that another way of life is immoral, which is when they try to regulate
peoples private lives. What kills me about this is that the Republican Party in general advocates for less government interference and more individual responsibilty unless you are gay, Muslim or basically not conforming to their morality. This is the result of the Republican Partys inability to revive its image since the 2006 election cycle. Their own voters saw them as weak and unable to rise to the challenge, so they followed the one person that was always on the news angering the left Sarah Palin. The right failed to become more appealing, so it energized its most extreme base. If their party regains any seats this election cycle, it will be in races that the Tea Party is not involved and only because the Democrats are so unpopular that people will want to try something new. It will not be because the image of the Republican Party has improved, but because they are much more appealing than their crazy cousin that sits in the corner sipping tea, trying to convince others that they are horrible people who should feel guilty for being themselves or believing in a different faith.

educe, Repeal, Restore. Those are the ideals of the Tea Party. Though the media portrays all of the candidates backed by the Tea Party as maniacs and extremists, the members of this new party are no crazier or insane than the members of the original tea party that started in Boston. Our foundBecca ers like James Kitchen Madison, Thomas Jefferson, Paul Revere and Alexander Hamilton were all thought of as crazy, insane radicals by the tyrannical government they were trying to escape. But we have seen that the product of these so-called radical ideas is a country that once stood as a land of opportunity. Nowadays, that opportunity is being ripped away from us through countless governmental restrictions and laws. And when Americans stand up to oppose, they are belittled and torn down by a supposedly unbiased media. Our First Amendment right to address any grievances against the government is criticized by the media, who
continuously aunt their own First Amendment protection as an impenetrable shield. The arrogant media is allowed to criticize and torment an administration they despise, but God forbid the common man stands up to ght and complain. The Tea Party is the party of the common man. It is not comprised of career politicians that the people are learning to despise. It is a return to the foundation and the core of what America was founded on the idea that all people should be free and not have to respond to governmental control. The Tea Party formed because our natural rights are being infringed upon, and as Thomas Jefferson instructed us, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it. Now, neither the Tea Party nor the Republicans are interested in doing away with government altogether. Government is something we need. But this grass-roots organization and this political party believes that we should have as little government interference as possible. The Tea Party wants to reduce the amount of federal spending, repeal the governmental programs that are utterly unnecessary and restore
Americas sense of hope and responsibility. Our crazy, radical founders knew how important it was that this new country be founded on hard work and individuality. They believed in the rights of men. As does the Tea Party. Our founders believed in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. As does the Tea Party. The government should not tell us how our businesses need to run or how much wealth we can possess. If you are an able-bodied American, get up and contribute to society. The Tea Party believes people can thrive if the only regulation placed on them are the restrictions that the Constitution outlines specically. The Declaration of Independence states we, as citizens, have a right to pursue happiness. Focus on the word pursue. It does not mean that the happiness, or property as Jefferson wanted the statement to read, is entitled to us. We can and need to be willing to pursue it. We can work to obtain it. We can earn it on our own accord. All the Tea Party really wants is Americans to be scally responsible again.

WEB NOTES Intense sexual aggression toward women breeds a rape culture in society
hen I am walking by myself at night, I experience a constant feeling of dread. When traveling from the library to the street, I walk quickly with my sts clenched anxiously the entire time. When I am in a parking garage, I glance warily at dimly-lit corners, expecting Casey someone to OLear jump out at me. When I get into my car, I am afraid that there is going to be a lunatic crouched behind the drivers seat. This is because we live in a rape culture. Rape culture exists where sexual aggression and violence toward women are encouraged. A rape culture assumes that sex and violence unavoidably go together and that its just a fact of life.
AN EQUAL PERSPECTIVE
OBAMA ONLY ENOURAGES THE LAZINESS OF SOCIETY
This sort of culture is present because male sexual aggression is seen as the norm. Sexual violence is shown in the media to be sexy, and these values are passed on through generations of young men. Rape culture assumes that men are going to rape and that, if you do not want to be raped, it is up to women to prevent it. This places the blame for rapes on the victim rather than the perpetrator. For example, if I were walking down Fourth Street alone at 3 a.m. particularly if I was wearing a skirt or a strapless top and I was raped, many people would point out that I was at fault. People would say things like, How stupid is she? Doesnt she know better? Didnt she realize how dangerous that was? More people would be outraged that a woman dared to put herself in such a situation than that a man dared to violate her body and her rights. Some people make excuses to negate the impact of rape. Others claim that some rape victims were asking for it or deny that they were raped
at all because they technically agreed to go into a mans apartment at night, as if going into a room is equivalent to initiating sex. People use the term date rape to describe certain instances of rape, as if the date makes the rape less horrifying for the woman and easier to explain away for the man. In a rape culture, the threat of sexual violence affects womens daily movements. Women are repeatedly encouraged to take self defense lessons, carry pepper spray, be careful where they are at certain times of day and be careful about what they choose to wear. The worst thing about all of this is not that women are expected to protect themselves. Knowing how to protect yourself and being prepared is unarguably important. The strangest part is that, for all of this anti-rape training geared toward women, so little of it is ever geared toward men. Why are women supposed to be responsible for not allowing themselves to get raped while
RAPE PREVENTION

men are not supposed to be responsible for raping? Of course, there is some anti-rape activism aimed at young men, and these groups should be encouraged. During Sexual Assault Awareness Month last April, the university hosted Men Can Stop Rape, a national organization that addresses masculinity, healthy relationships and sexual violence.

Young adults need to be raised in a different way one that discourages men from forcing sex on anyone under any circumstances and does not place blame on a victim.

Chromeos new album shows increased maturity Rappers

By Diamond Lambert
Canadian duo Chromeo is back again with their third studio album, Business Casual, a swagger-laden analysis of love, lust and everything in between. Chromeo, a synth-based, 80s-laden act consisting of P-Thugg on synths (and occasional breathalyzer) and Dave1, guitarist and songwriter have become well known for their electronic based sound. Albums Shes In Control (2004) and the more popular Fancy Footwork (2007) placed the duo on the dance track map, having various remixes released from artists such as Yusek, Crookers and Laidback Luke which are renowned internationally. The opening track Hot Mess invokes the feelings of a, well, messy relationship. The idea of mismatched lovers seems to become the theme of the entire album. Hot Mess shows a glimpse of tenderness accompanied with the deep voice of a female inquiring why her lover is reacting negatively, which immediately catches the ear of the listener. The male vocals plead for closeness in a relationship that obviously is just not working. Pain is further suggested by blaring electric guitar accompanied by striking synth keyboards of P-Thugg. Im Not Contagious is one of the more rowdy tracks on the album, with a steady cowboyesque electric guitar lick that plays throughout. Lyrics Why you gotta act so jaded/ Im not contagious/ Ive got the kind of love that knocks you down further exemplify the cheesy condence radiated from the bad boy image Dave1 portrays. This is denitely a song that plays when boy and girl ex-

change glances from across the dance oor. Night By Night is one of the more lustful songs on the album, suggested by its rough, rowdy feel from the electric guitar and, yes, more synths. P-Thugg shows off his skills with speedy keyboard licks and vocalizer to spare. The music video accompanying the song is noted for its Saturday Night Fever dance routines that are beyond comparable. Dave1 paints the picture with his sensual moves accompanying lyrics such as She says Im not romantic/ I say shes so dramatic suggesting hes looking for someone to have a good time with. Another standout track, Dont Turn The Lights On, has a subtle feel with more classic synths, electric guitar and a steady rhythm. The track is a strong emblem of the album, showing that Chromeo can take a ashy route, or tone their sound down while, remaining genuine. You Make It Rough is the ending of this ctitious relationship when the antagonist says I dont know what games youre tryna play/ You wanna look the other way/ Im talkin bout the here and now, where obviously the relationship described has hit its low point. For a completely different sound from Chromeo, Jai Claque La Porte which literally translates to I slammed the door is sung entirely in French and only features light
notice campus group
By Kayla Johnson
On top of preparing for their upcoming concert this Thursday, hip-hop group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony also found time to reach out to the Black Student Organization at the University of Nevada, Reno. BSO, a group that focuses on developing unity throughout the community, as well as furthering diversity, harmony and determination in hopes to inspire all to succeed. The organization was excited when Bone Thugs contacted them, said BSO president MarQuez Eagles, a 21-year-old social work major. I was shocked more than anything when they contacted me, Eagles said. It made me feel proud being the BSO president to be even considered to talk to the group. According to a report by The Center for Student Cultural Diversity, black students make up less than three percent of the UNR student population. Bone Thugs member Krayzie Bone praised BSO for their efforts to help bring diversity to campus. I encourage the youth to join these type of groups and learn more about whats going on, Bone said. It is always good to be united. If everyone isnt on the same page, then everyone is divided. United we stand, divided we fall. Bone offered Eagles some advice to share with the organization. If you guys carry the past around with you, it will wear you down, he said. Anything from the past, especially negative, does nothing but bring you down or bring drama within your life. It is very important to put negative past experiences to rest and learn from them. Bone said one of the main reasons that the groups lyrical content has transitioned from being about violence and drugs to more positive aspects of life is because the group has grown up and become men. All of us came from hard lives, he said. We rapped about what was reecting us at that time. We have seen so many more things, so why would we still talk about that? We, as a group want to teach people from our own experiences. Members of BSO will also be at the Knitting Factory for the concert showing support for the group. I am excited to be attending the Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony concert as a part of an outing for BSO. It should be a fun night, Aniaya Mingo, a 19-year-old criminal justice major and treasurer of BSO, said.

Scott Pilgrim video game brings simple ghting fun

By Jaime Lehman
Hey there fellow gamers, Im your new video game reviewer. Nice to meet you! My credentials include pwning n00bs on both PS3 and XBox, but have been doing so since Nintendo NES Super Mario and Duck Hunt (I hate that bastard dog). Now for the review Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. This game makes me happy as a gamer because it brings back simpler times, but doesnt sacrice being awesome enough that the younger generations can appreciate it. Do you remember going to the arcade and spending all of your change on video games? The wave of satisfaction you felt when your high score came up on the screen, for all of the world to see? Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, despite being on the new Playstation 3 and XBox 360 game consoles, never fails to take you back to those days. Its full of interesting old references, like the saying Winners dont eat meat, and the curious Federal Bureau of Investigation

game where you beat the 8-bit crap out of everyone, with both sts and kicks or any random thing picked up along the way. River City Ransom drops coins from your enemies after defeat, as does Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, but obviously the drops are in reference to needing money for arcade games in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. You can play four characters: Scott, Ramona, Kim or Stills. The levels get progressively difcult as time goes on, and Scott and Ramona make out at the end of each one. Its a little odd. The beginning screen where you pick your level is

but movies just as violent were okay. The film is essentially a video game that you cant play and it is like Nintendo on a crazy acid trip (look it up on YouTube). Scott Pilgrim vs. The Worlds playstyle also reminds me of River City Ransom, a very old
just like Super Mario Bros, which will make you nostalgic enough to go out and buy a Super Nintendo. There is also role-playing, where you can take the money you picked up and buy health kits and stat upgrades. If you think the game will be exactly like the Scott Pilgrim movie that was released this summer (in which he ghts off Ramonas ex-boyfriends), youre going to be a bit disappointed. In my opinion, the ght scenes are better because theyre longer and, well, youre the one ghting them. The third evil ex-boyfriend you ght is almost exactly from the Japanese manga Akira, the character Tetsuo (specically, just his psychic powers and his arm). His arm, as the story goes, is severed and made up of inorganic material, creating this super arm that res gigantic laser beams. If you arent sold on it with this reference, then seriously I have no idea what else could be said.

Killers frontman reveals solo project

BRANDON FLOWERS FLAMINGO
Release Date: Sept. 14 Genre: Pop Rock, New Wave Grade: B+
For The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers, Las Vegas is more than just a birthplace or a hometown. Las Vegas is a religion. On his debut solo album, Flamingo, released last week, haunting and sometimes hymnal melodies celebrate both the light and the dark of Sin City. Flowers passes through all the stages of belief: faithful disciple, questioning unbeliever and full-fledged sinner. He both romances the city and condemns it. In the opening track, Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas, he sings, Give us your dreamers, your harlots and your sins. Reminiscent of the city, he seems to be offering both redemption and destruction. It is this complex duality that runs through his entire album; on the one hand, a city offering comfort to all walks of life, The City of Second Chances on the other, the capital of temptation. And within it all is Flowers himself, struggling with deliverance and downfall. Flamingo truly is a solo album. Partly produced by Flowers, it seems to be a presentation of his bare soul, a closely personal album in a way that no production by The Killers ever was. One of the albums best tracks, On the Floor, is also one of its simplest the background music is mostly straightforward, and Flowers vocals take the spotlight. When the lights go down in the city, something is roaring / I nd myself waiting to believe, he sings, showing the soulsearching that lingers in the background of every song. Part of that searching quality is also Flowers nostalgia for days gone by. He shows just how much he has matured throughout his entertainment career,

WALL STREET: MONEY NEVER SLEEPS
ALBUM REVIEW
Indie pop group piles soul, funk into new album

By Alexander Dietrick
Of Montreals funk-pop sound is a seamless mesh of genres that is distinct, yet constantly shifting and morphing. On the groups 10th and latest album, False Priest, the band gives a more soulful vibe, taken even further with several appearances by other recording artists. In 1997, Of Montreal released its rst album, the guitar-heavy Cherry Peel. In 2008, it released Skeletal Lamping, a mostlyelectronic but natural evolution from their previous works. Now, False Priest presents a funkier sound. Opening with I Feel Ya Strutter, Of Montreal jumps right into an upbeat, piano-infused tune full of praise for a lover. Lead singer Kevin Barnes sings in his typical falsetto, Girlfriend, I got so lucky with you / I feel ya strutter, I got so lucky with you / So freaked out and depressed but now I see that I was blessed. Barnes attitude quickly turns sour with the second track, an infectious dance number called Our Riotous Defects. Here he questions his relationship, saying, You are so crazy, girl, and I dont know why I even try to make you love me. On False Priest, Barnes continues his portrayal of Georgie Fruit, his gender-bending alterego who rst made an appearance on 2007s Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? Since then, fans have seen Georgie Fruit through failed relationships, questioned religions and casual sex. On False Priest, record producer Jon Brion lent a hand, marking the rst time Of Montreal has gone outside the band for producing. The album also marks the debut for guest vocalists on an Of Montreal album, with Janelle Monae and Solange Knowles appearing on several tracks. Although Monae sings at the end of Our Riotous Defects, she gets to show her true talents on Enemy Gene, a provocative tale questioning religion. When Knowles sings on Sex Karma with Barnes, listeners get the playful duet theyve been waiting for. With lines like
OF MONTREAL FALSE PRIEST

Release Date: Sept. 14 Genre: Indie Pop Grade: B+
I know that you want to swing, run and touch my everything, cause I look like a playground to you, player, and Close your eyes and count to three, Ill kiss you where I shouldnt be, cause you look like a playground to me, player, Knowles and Barnes play the convincing role of a flirtatious pair seeking love. Of Montreals False Priest proves that the group is only improving and becoming more innovative with where they are taking their sound. No matter how unusual the lyrics, this is an album that will have listeners dancing.

Ashley Viberg and Kari Vandenberg clean up after their fashion show at Never Ender, a locally-owned boutique. Both helped in the production of the event, which showcased fall fashions and celebrated the reopening of the boutique at its new location. By Casey OLear
Never Ender, a locally-owned boutique, recently reopened at a new location where they sell handmade jewelry and hardto-nd clothing after being an online-only shop for two years. Never Ender started out in 2005 as a boutique and art gallery in downtown Reno, specializing in mens and womens clothing, accessories and local art. In 2008, the shop closed down and became an online-only business. Now, the boutique is back in town with a new location on Cheney Street, just off of Virginia Street, with a stock full of stylish clothes to unleash upon the scene. This is a great location, said Amber Gutry, owner and founder of Never Ender. It was a great opportunity to reopen in a bad economy. At the original location, one of the main Never Ender draws were regular art shows showcasing local artists work. Although the new location dedicates a wall of display space to visual art, Gutry said the boutique will not focus on art shows as much as it had in the past. People in Reno are not buying art right now, she said. There is not a demand right now. People are not super interested. A lot has changed. The boutique does plan to focus heavily this time around on environmentally-friendly products. People in Reno are more into things like solar power, recycling, composting, sustainable energy, Gutry said. Theyll support each other. Theyre still buying handmade. Some of the fashions featured in a Never Ender fashion show are from well-known national brands that can only be found at Never Ender. The store stocks merchandise from American Apparel and Threadless, two popular clothing brands that do not have physical locations in the Reno area. Were the only ones near here who sells this stuff, Gutry said. You cant nd them anywhere near here. Theres nothing really comparable. Additionally, the boutique offers jewelry, accessories and other assorted items that were handcrafted by artists locally, nationally and worldwide. Some fall trends that were demonstrated during the fashion show included knee socks with boots, legwarmers over jeans and

Q: The lyrical content of the songs on Uni5 are very different from earlier Bone Thugs tracks. The new songs carry messages about religion, positivity and sociopolitical issues. Was the new lyrical direction and maturity a conscious effort or a natural progression?
Krayzie: It was basically a natural progression for us. When we rst came out we were straight off the streets. Everything was thug. If we are all about keeping it real, then us coming out talking about those types of things wouldnt be real to me because we are not doing those things.

The Musician Rehearsal Center contains 50 units for musicians and bands to rent. In each unit, bands can safely store their equipment and come to practice at any time of the day.
Center offers musician rehearsal space

By Casey OLear
Tucked in an industrial area of Sparks is an unmarked warehouse. The buildings address is only released to a select group of people, and there are no signs alerting passersby to its presence. Surveillance cameras peer into every corner at all times. Those who do not have a key must be buzzed in to enter. This building is not the top secret location of a training center for up-and-coming spies. It is the completely secure new Musician Rehearsal Center. Security is a big, big thing, owner Bill Woody said. Security is one of the first things people ask about because theyve practiced in places where all of their equipment has been stolen. Each group gets their own key, and they can leave their equipment here. The idea is that its going to be safer here than in your own home. The MRC is a new resource for musicians in Reno it aims to provide them with a secure, creative environment in which to rehearse for shows, write songs or just jam on their instruments without the threat of waking up the neighbors or being disturbed. Many musicians find themselves trapped when it comes to finding a rehearsal space. Those who dont have room to set up for band practice in their apartments or dorm rooms often resort to renting out a storage unit, which can be costly and offers no guarantee that instruments will still be there when the band returns. Garett Ball, a 22-year-old local drummer, took a tour of the MRC on one of its first official business days. I think its great, he said. Its going to kill the whole market. Ive done storage units more than enough times. At the MRC, musicians and bands can choose from a range of differently-sized rooms to rent. The center contains a total of 50 rehearsal units, ranging in price from about $275 to $500 per month depending on the size, and there is no lease to sign. When you divide the rent between four or five people, its not much, Woody said. There is no lease because the last thing that you want is to sign a six-month lease and tomorrow your band breaks up. Although only a fraction of the units have been rented, Woody said that he expects the MRC to be full by the end of the year. Because it targets a specific group of people, most of the centers promotion is done through local

music stores and by word of mouth. I did a lot of market research and decided that Reno can handle this many rooms, he said. I hope Im right. There are several features of the MRC that make it irresistible to the musicians who have already rented out some of the rooms. Each of the rehearsal units has air conditioning and heating. The bands are provided with keys so that they can access their room at any time 24 hours per day, seven days per week. A loading area makes it easy to tote equipment to and from the MRC without exposure to the elements. The idea here is that bands can rehearse where they arent going to bother anybody and nobody is going to bother them, Woody said. There is no hangout space. Im not trying to create a social scene. Im not going to start a coffee shop. This place is for practice its specifically built for musicians and bands. Local five-piece progressive hard rock group Our Devices, occupies unit 139 at the MRC. We heard about it through word of mouth from a friend, said Joe Foley, 19-year-old Our Devices guitarist. We checked it out when it was in its wee baby stages. We were sold on it that day. We liked the fact that it is always here, that you know your stuff will always be here exactly as you left it. Practice space is not the only thing offered at the MRC. In an area called The Vault, musicians can rent out a large stage area by the hour on which to practice for performances. Woody said he plans to use The Vault to offer other resources to his renters, like workshops and clinics hosted by music stores such as Bizarre Guitar and Guitar Center. Some of his ideas include teaching workshops on how to balance a checkbook for musicians. With no businesses similar to the MRC in the Reno area, musicians have been jumping at the chance to secure a safe spot to rehearse.

WEEKS UNTIL HALL OF FAME GAME
Lewis helped bring Nevada to the NCAA Regionals

By Lukas Eggen
When shortstop Mark Lewis came to Nevada to play baseball in 1993, head coach Gary Powers was in his second year with the Wolf Pack. Lewis led the Wolf Pack in runs batted in each of his seasons with the team, recording 42 in 93 and 63 in 94. He also was third on the team in batting average, hitting .325 and .372 in each of his two seasons. But Powers said his effect on the team went far beyond stats. Mark Lewis had great leadership skills and set a tremendous example for all to follow when it came to competing on the eld of play, Powers said. Lewis was a major part of Nevadas 1994 season when the Wolf Pack won the Big West Conference and earned a trip to the NCAA Regionals, the rst in program history. That season, Lewis was named the Big West Most Valuable Player. During his time, Nevada went 69-34-1. Lewis also earned All-America honors from the American Baseball Coaches Association, Mizuno and the National Collegiate Baseball Association. After leaving the Wolf Pack, Lewis played in the minor leagues for the Montreal Expos. He carried a belief that we could beat anyone, no matter who or where we played and it carried over to the entire team, Powers said. He was erce, prideful and a competitor.

Soccer team extends win streak at home invitational

By Cambria Roth
The Nevada soccer team is proving itself as a contender this season. With a four-game win streak, the team is hoping to turn itself into one of the top challengers in the Western Athletic Conference season. The Wolf Pack (5-3-1) hosted the Wolf Pack Invitational last weekend. The team opened the tournament by defeating the Idaho State Bengals (5-4-1), 2-0, Thursday and closed the tournament by beating the Eastern Michigan Eagles (3-5-1), 3-0 Saturday. We are succeeding because of two things rst, nding rhythm as a team and creating chances and second, because of our condence, we believe that we can score goals, head coach Missy Price said. Against Eastern Michigan, Nevada exploded in the second period, scoring three times before the 80th minute after being held scoreless in the rst half. Natalie Ratnavira scored goals number two and three on the season, getting her second in the 55th minute and her third in the 67th minute. Natalie creates a lot of opportunities, not only for herself but also for her teammates, said Price of her senior, who leads the team in shot percentage with .33. Nevadas game against Eastern Michigan was one of the teams most physical as the Wolf Pack committed 12 fouls. The Eagles ended the game with seven. There were also two yellow cards distributed to Nevada players, Raylene Larot and Jill Erickson. As the team geared up to play both Idaho State and Eastern Michigan, they focused on several aspects of its play. We broke down each opponent, exploited within their style of play

In the second half against California, the Nevada defense gave up a touchdown and the Golden Bears were down just three points and were driving into Wolf Pack territory. California quarterback Kevin Riley threw to his right, but Nevada safety Marlon Johnson jumped in front of the ball and took it 65 yards to the end zone. It was his rst interception and rst touchdown of his career. The interception put Nevada up 31-21 and sealed the game. Football is the primary sport pushing the Wolf Packs move from the Western Athletic Conference to the Mountain West Conference. Nevada has stated it wants to leave the WAC after the 2010-11 school year.

WHOS NOT
NEVADA VOLLEYBALL Nevadas volleyball team entered the Aggies Invitational Tournament with high hopes after winning its previous two tournaments. Instead, the Wolf Pack dropped all three matches it played last weekend. Against Oregon State, Nevada had a team attack percentage of 0.
ith the Western Athletic Conferences lawsuit against Nevada, Fresno State and the Mountain West Conference about to hit full swing, one thing is clear: Staying until 2012 is a bad idea. Last week, Nevada, Fresno State and the MWC released a joint statement saying they will refrain from commenting on the situation during discussions. With a legal battle coming full steam, the Wolf Pack must do whatever it can to leave the conference early. To delay it another year only makes things more awkward between the two parties. Nevada should Lukas not just walk Eggen away, however. The Wolf Pack did pull a fast one on the WAC this summer and ruined the conferences plan to reach an agreement with Brigham Young University to join in every sport except football. Some nancial resolution should, and could, be found to make all sides happy in the agreement. According to WAC Commissioner Karl Benson, WAC teams will lose out on $1 million because the WAC could fall from being the secondbest non Bowl Championship Series conference. He also said each school could incur damages
as much as $2 million per school due to scheduling, a restructured contract with ESPN and other things. We can all be reasonable, right? If the estimate of $2 million in damages per school is correct, that would bring the grand total to $12 million. Between the MWC, Fresno State and Nevada, why cant each entity put up $4 million to cover the damages? I am almost sure that Nevadas boosters would step up and help cover that bill. Also, some of the revenue from the football games could be used to go toward this cause. Who knows, maybe the MWC would help out even more in covering the costs because it waived the entrance fee. The money that would have gone towards the entrance fee could be used to cover the damages. That way, the remaining WAC schools wont be losing out on any revenue they wouldve received had Nevada stayed in the conference. Schools like Louisiana Tech and Utah State still will get the share of the pie that theyre used to. Also, it means the WAC could effectively turn to focusing on recruiting new schools to join. Bensons argument on the WAC falling from the No. 2 non-BCS conference really loses its teeth if Nevada is willing to cover the costs. And the Wolf Pack can get used to its new conference, allowing it to start earning more revenue
themselves and move on from the whole situation. Dragging this on and on will not benet either side. If the Wolf Pack is forced to stay, it will be a lame duck year. It wont help the WAC because everyone knows Nevada is about to leave. The WAC then cant move on and establish new members of the conference. Instead, it will be seen as a conference trying desperately to do whatever it can to make life hard for its departing members. Nevada cant be seless here. It must do everything it can to leave next year. This is about doing whats best for the university. Staying one more year in the WAC would do what exactly? Allow Nevada to have a farewell tour while the animosity builds between both parties? Delaying the Wolf Packs move does nothing but prevent the institution from doing what is best for itself. In this clear case of he said, she said about whether or not Nevada was alerted to the clerical error in the codebook, a solution must be found soon. Nevada needs to leave the WAC in 2011. Itll help the Wolf Pack grow and allow the WAC to move on. The university can then start to establish its place in the MWC. Benson said that the problem is money. If the Wolf Pack, Fresno State and the MWC pay the money, why exactly should they stay?

Lauren Hernandez won the Circling Raven Collegiate Invitational (Sept. 13-14). She shot a 72 on her final round. The victory is the first of her career. She shot even par for the tournament to win by one stroke. Going into the final round Hernandez was five spots back and needed to improve from her score of 75 on the second day.

things Friday that every fan in the region wanted it to perform solidly on defense and beat a BCS team. Quarterback Colin Kaepernick again dazzled fans with a brilliant performance and is without a doubt a name to be mentioned for a possible Heisman Trophy nomination. If you dont agree, I dare you to try and avoid finding his name in the top-10 of several key national stats: second in total yards (1,097), first in points responsible for (78) and seventh in passer rating (170.31). Kaepernick also hasnt thrown an interception this year and Nevadas offense is ranked third overall in the nation. Add in a mix of senior leadership at skilled positions, an improving defensive backfield and a favorable schedule to start the season, and Nevada fans have every reason to believe the hype. Dont forget newly hired defensive coordinator Andy Buh, either. His understandning of Cal and gutsy playcalling Friday were big reasons Nevada was able to capture the win.

Lombardi buffs up facilities

By Lukas Eggen
Assistant director of campus recreation and wellness Jim Fitzsimmons remembers when he rst started working at Lombardi Recreation Center 14 years ago. I thought, Who would want to buy a membership here? Fitzsimmons said. Back then, Lombardis tness center and equipment t alongside part of a basketball court, and having 1,000 memberships seemed like a pipe dream. Now Lombardi is putting its nishing touches on renovations that the gym began over the summer. The project, which took a little more than ve weeks, helped to expand Lombardis tness center from its corner location. The change expanded the tness center, which was located by the basketball courts and converted the third basketball court into part of the tness center. According to Fitzsimmons, the change had to come this summer because of overcrowding in the workout areas. We hit critical mass, Fitzsimmons said. It was becoming so unbearable, we had to do something. People would look at how busy it got and get turned off by it. Before, weight lifting areas were on the rst oor with a rock climbing wall in the back. On the second oor were the exercise equipment, including treadmills, step machines and rowing machines. The project cost about $111,000 and was completely independently funded by Lombardi, Fitzsimmons said. The gym took out a loan from student housing and is paying the loan back at a rate of $50,000 per year. The decision was made to convert the basketball court to an expanded tness area because of the lack of use by students last season. During the expansion, more weights and exercise machines were added to cut down on the wait time during peak hours for students and faculty. On any given day during the centers busiest times in late afternoon, he said its common for 150 people to be using the tness center at one time. The project began in the middle of July because of bidding processes by several companies. The project was put on the fast track so the recreation center would be ready by the start of the school year this fall. Students who have been going to Lombardi for multiple years said they noticed the difference immediately, although not all of the feedback has been positive. I like that it expanded for the most part, but its unfortunate they had to get rid of the third basketball court to do so, 21year old journalism major Matt Lukoskie said. I like playing basketball somewhat often and the third court was a nice option due to events and leagues going on the main courts at times. Derek Holdman, a 22-year old health science major, also expressed displeasure with losing one of the basketball courts. The weight room does hinder me because not as many people can play basketball when they want to, Holdman said. While the expansion is nice, Fitzsimmons said it is only a temporary x. I hate to say it, but were already

Nevada didnt beat California 52-31 to gain its first win against a Bowl Championship Series conference team in its last eight attempts. It didnt start the season 3-0 for the first time since 1991. It didnt grab its third win against a ranked team in school history. And I suspect Nevada won by stealing three interceptions and scoring more points than Cal has surrendered in a single game since 1996. Thats ridiculous. For that to happen, it would take a succession of events stranger than a two-touchdown favorite Wolf Pack football team losing to Southern Methodist 45-10 in a bowl game. It would be more improbable than an unqualified Tea Party candidate winning a primary against a nine-time congressional winner. It would be similar to the Red Sox winning a nonsteroid tainted World Series. Maybe it wouldnt be that improbable.
NO. 3: REALIZATION
Nevada, the once basketball-crazed school that took four straight trips to the NCAA Tournament in the mid-2000s, is now a football school again. It was a football-crazed campus in the early-90s after Chris Ault led the program to a Big Sky Conference championship and an eventual loss in the Division I-AA Championship game. But, even with how important the early 90s teams were to the community, never did they reach the level of excitement exuded Friday night. Yes, this is the beginning of the season and it was against an overrated California team that was picked in the preseason to finish seventh in the Pacific-10 Conference. But that doesnt matter. California has owned the series, winning 22 of 24 games all-time head-to-head against Nevada before Friday. The Wolf Pack did two
at capacity, Fitzsimmons said. According to the staff, there are plans to do a major expansion to the building. The tness center will be moved to the opposite end of the building. The current location will be converted into basketball and racquetball courts. Fitzsimmons said there have been construction plans and cost estimates that he hopes to see the project begin within the next ve years.

Kaep continues to climb the NCAA record books

By Cory Thomas
Early in the rst half against California, Nevada quarterback Colin Kaepernick faked the ball to the running back and took off down the left side of the eld for a gain of 13 yards and a touchdown. That play took him into a tie for seventh in NCAA history among quarterbacks with 45 rushing touchdowns in his career. The achievement came against the 24th ranked team in the nation in the ESPN/USA Today poll. Kaepernick nished the game with 149 yards and three rushing touchdowns. That leaves him 14 rushing touchdowns away from becoming the all-time leader among quarterbacks, currently held by Eric Crouch at 59 touchdowns. Kaepernick did not know that he moved to seventh place. He is more focused on beating Brigham Young University. Its always great to get records, (but) thats not what is really on my mind right now, Kaepernick said. We are just trying to win games out here, keep moving forward and keep getting better. Both Kaepernick and head coach Chris Ault give much of the credit to the offensive line. If you see our union, our (offensive) line work this offseason, you really cant be too surprised with the way theyre moving people, Ault said. They do everything for this offense.
THE TRIPLE OPTION

A big part of the offensive game plan is to run a triple option. This style of play usually results into much more rushing than passing yards. Californias head coach Jeff Tedford said that in most triple option offenses, the quarterback is not a great passer and Kaepernick is the exception. Coach Ault pointed to work ethic as a reason why the teams passing game has improved. (Kaepernick) has worked very hard at (passing) and we have worked very hard at it as a staff, Ault said. That was a phase we had to put together to make us a better offense. Kaepernick has thrown six touchdowns and no interceptions. He has a completion percentage of 70 and has the best quarterback efciency rating of his career at 170.
Kaepernick threw for 181 yards and two touchdowns against the Golden Bears with a completion percentage of 67. Senior tight end Virgil Green has seen his offensive numbers increase signicantly from last season. He has 214 yards receiving and three touchdowns in three games this season. Last season he had 260 yards and ve touchdowns the entire season.
KNOCKING AT THE DOOR

Whether or not Nevada can move the ball well on offense, the team was a 2.5-point underdog heading into the game. Kaepernick disagreed. I think a lot of people didnt think we could win tonight, Kaepernick said. I dont think we were underdogs and we played like we should. With the win, the Wolf Pack is on the verge of cracking the top25 in the polls for the rst time in school history and while Ault would welcome the achievement, he is more focused on winning games.

recent success chemistry. Each coach and player takes the time to work on activities to increase the teams bonding. They combine soccer with leadership and team building activities. It is a testament to who they are and their personalities and how accepting they are of one another, Price said. We can talk about bonding and educate them, but in the end, it all falls on the players shoulders and shows who they are as people, student athletes and players. Goalkeeper Marie Cove, who posted her second straight individual 90-minute shutout and her third overall in 2010,
also credits the teams success to their communication. The key this year is communication and a lot of bonding has been facilitated to help with that, Cove said.

Wolf Pack drops three in a row

Pack dives into opening loss
STEP BACKWARDS
N Nevadas d volleyball ll b ll team t dropped all three of its matches over the weekend. The Wolf Pack won the two tournaments prior to the Aggies Invitational Tournament. Nevada opens its Western Athletic Conference season Friday when the Wolf Pack travels to play Hawaii before facing UNLV on Monday.
Harrington, junior outside hitter Erin Garvey and sophomore middle blocker Janelle Batista. Nevada won its previous two tournaments as Nevada came into the weekend with a 6-3 record. We didnt get the same performances in the tournament, Scruggs said. The Wolf Pack won just one set during its three matches. Despite winning two tournaments earlier this season, starting the conference season at 6-6 doesnt sit well with the team. It doesnt feel good, especially not fun to lose the way they did, Scruggs said. However, Scruggs did nd positives from the matches. Scruggs said she was impressed with the leadership of senior outside hitter Nicole Link. She tried to keep the team together. Its easier to do when youre winning, but its a challenge to do when youre losing, Scruggs said. Despite the three losses, Scruggs isnt worried about the team. She said she believed the Wolf Pack had all the elements in place to be successful this season. We just have to put it all together now, Scruggs said. Their rst opportunity to do so comes when they travel to Honolulu to play against league foe Hawaii.

A combination of mental errors and inconsistent play haunted the Nevada volleyball team this weekend at the Aggies Invitational Tournament at Davis, Calif. The Wolf Pack dropped all three matches it played. The losses dropped Nevadas record to 6-6 for the season and snapped the teams tournament winning streak at two. A week after winning its second straight tournament, Nevada only won one set. Multiple times the sets were tied, but the Wolf Pack would end up dropping them. Head coach Devin Scruggs said the team was lacking the control to limit the runs by its opponents. We play well, and then the wheels just fall off, Scruggs said. We need to limit the runs (of opponents), and work on our serve receives. That wasnt the only thing Scruggs said Nevada needs to work on if it wants to be competitive. With the conference season looming, she said the team must correct the mistakes that plagued them through the weekend. We need to go to the gym, and work harder and smarter, Scruggs said. In matches, we made mental errors. We had opportunities in the matches versus Portland and Davis, and the mental mistakes cost us. Not only did mental errors hurt the Wolf Pack, but it lacked strong play from usual leaders Kylie Harrington and Nicole Link. Perhaps the teams worst performance of the weekend came against Oregon State. The Beavers defeated Nevada 3-0 and the Wolf Pack had a team attack percentage of zero. Nobody played well in the tournament, Scruggs said. The team had played well before the tournament as they had received strong play from

Defense
Nevadas defense that began to turn heads. Cals offense came into the game averaging 52 points per game. Quarterback Kevin Riley was averaging almost a third of his completions going for touchdowns and running back Shane Vereene was tearing through defenses. While the Bears were able to get big plays, Nevadas defense held Cal to 31 points, its lowest points scored of the season, and picked off Riley three times, including one returned for a touchdown. Rileys a hell of a quarterback, Ault said. We had three picks on them. I thought our defense played well. They didnt get backed up and didnt back
down. Thats an impressive looking group. That is a far different statement than what Ault had to say after the teams rst game, in which the Wolf Pack turned in a lackluster performance. Nevadas pass defense, while still a work in progress, is giving up 247 yards per game, much less than the 297 yards per game it gave up last season. Nevadas front seven, led by seniors Dontay Moch and James-Michael Johnson, each recorded a sack against the Bears. After having the nations second worst pass defense in 2009, giving up 432 yards of total offense and several missed tackles to Eastern Washington in the teams rst game, the defense responded. Safety Marlon Johnson, who is playing in place of the injured
Corbin Louks, made the most of his chance, returning a key interception in the third quarter for a touchdown. Nevada has forced ve interceptions through three games, after forcing just eight all of last year. Cornerback Doyle Miller, who had an interception against Cal, said the defenses strides are due to the unit coming together and working on the little things. During the summer we made it a point to focus on attention to detail, Miller said. Thats where those interceptions came from. We worked on disguising coverages and confusing the quarterback. The victory is doing more than adding one to the win column, however. Players say the game showed this unit is ready to hang with anyone. It showed the world that we
are who we are and showed that we are ready to play anyone, Johnson said. While the defense is clearly making strides, its far from perfect. Nevada allowed Vereene to gain 198 rush yards and three touchdowns. With the offense averaging more than 50 points per game and the defense seemingly taking steps toward improving, players said they feel this is the rst time all three units are gelling. First time since Ive been here that this team is really a team, Kaepernick said. The offense is supporting our defense and our defense is supporting our offense. Our special teams ts in there perfectly. All around, its coming together.

MAKING THE CALL
STAFF PICKS
OPTIMIST SAYS: Nevadas win against Cal showed the nation that the Wolf Pack is for real. Facing the nations second-worst rush defense, running back Vai Taua and quarterback Colin Kaepernick each run for more than 200 yards as BYU is unable to stop Nevadas offense. The Wolf Packs defense continues its strong play and forces multiple turnovers as Nevada wins running away. OUTCOME: Nevada wins 70-17 PESSIMIST SAYS: Playing in its rst road game of the season, Nevada isnt ring on all cylinders. Kaepernick throws for a couple interceptions and the turnovers that plagued the Wolf Pack early last season return. BYU is trying to avoid starting 1-3 and rebounds from its loss to Florida State. Running back JJ Di Luigi is able to have a big game on the ground and the Wolf Pack defense suffers a lapse after last week. OUTCOME: BYU wins 35-27
DIFFERENCE MAKER JJ DI LUIGI D

W BYU still without a permanent starting quarterback, running back With JJ Di Luigi is the Cougars most important player on offense. Di Luigi is a averaging 88 yards per game and also leads the team in receiving yards p game with 48. The Cougars will look to hand the ball off to Di Luigi or per t throw a quick pass to him in space. Nevadas defense will have to be wary o Di Luigi or it could suffer a repeat performance of Cal running back of S Shane Vereen, who rushed for 198 yards and three touchdowns against t Wolf Pack last week. With both BYU quarterbacks Jake Heaps and the R Riley Nelson struggling to nd success throwing down eld, it will be up to D Luigi to keep the Cougars offense moving. If Nevadas defense stuffs Di Di L Luigi, quarterbacks Nelson and Heaps will have to be at their best to beat the Wolf Pack.
