Mexican authorities accused of
torture during investigation into
missing students
Strong evidence was released
Sunday that Mexican officials
tortured suspects in the search for
43 students who went missing in
2014, according to Time Magazine.
The experts who released the data,
the Inter-American Commission on
Human Rights, said that a study of
17 suspects yielded signs of beatings, bruises and cuts.
The 17 suspects interviewed
were only a fraction of roughly 123
suspects detained by the Mexican
government thus far. At least one of
those suspects reported being asphyxiated with a plastic bag, while
another was reportedly hit so hard
on the ears that his eardrums broke.
These allegations could endanger
the possibility of convictions for
those responsible for the 2014 kidnappings because the governments
explanation for the crime that
corrupt police handed the students
over to the cartels now rests on
confessions that could be the product of torture.
The experts group who released
the report have also claimed that
the Mexican government was hesitant to release certain data to them,
and has been criticized by the group
as more interested in PR than in
investigating.

UNR preps
for new aid
regulation
Staff Report
Students at the University of Nevada,
Reno, could see less federal money this
fall as an old Department of Education
regulation gets a new spin. Thats according
to Melisa Choroszy, UNRs associate vice
president for enrollment services, registrar
and commencement, who stopped by last
weeks Associated Students of the University
of Nevada senate meeting to break the news.
The regulation in question stipulates
that federal aid only go toward credits
that are applicable to a students declared
major or minor. In the past, Choroszy
says that institutions across the country
interpreted this broadly to mean that any
credit going toward a degree could count
for this federal aid.
NATIONAL
Kasich, Cruz officially join forces
to block Trump nomination
The presidential campaigns for
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov.
John Kasich announced a joint plan
Sunday that aims to keep Donald
Trump from being the Republican
nominee. In a statement, the Cruz
campaign said it would shift focus
to Indiana while opening up the
road for Kasich in Oregon and New
Mexico.
Kasich has long been mathematically eliminated from the primary
contest, and Cruz stands on the
verge of being eliminated himself
with poor performances predicted
in todays slate of primaries. Even
so, it remains possible that this new
effort from the pair could make it
very difficult for Trump to lock up
the 1,237 delegates he needs to win
the nomination on the first ballot.
In his trademark style, Trump took
to Twitter Sunday night to respond.
Wow, just announced that Lyin
Ted and Kasich are going to collude
in order to keep me from getting the
Republican nomination. DESPERATION! Trumps tweet read.
Trump has won 846 delegates in
the primaries up until now and has
by far the best shot of taking the
nomination on a first ballot. However, he has only recently begun
efforts to woo delegates, and odds
are Ted Cruz would perform best if
the convention ever makes it to a
second or third ballot.
LOCAL
Reno ranks among most polluted
cities for air quality on new Lung
Association list
The Biggest Little City landed 11th
on a new list released last Wednesday
by the American Lung Association,
according to the Reno Gazette-Journal. Specifically, Renos short-term
particulate pollution levels landed
the city in 11th, though long-term
particulate levels and ozone levels
in the city are more moderate. Even
so, the city still received an F in the
ozone category.
The data behind the list comes
from two years of EPA data collected
between 2012 and 2014, though Reno
has passed the EPAs annual particulate standards. This is largely because
of the fine particulates caused by
wildfires in the summer and while the
EPA does not include wildfire data in
its standards, the American Lung Association does.

Refugees could
come to Reno
By Will Yepez
In 2014, 1.66 million people submitted applications to the U.S. for political asylum, the highest number ever.
In November 2015, the Northern Nevada
International Center sent an application
to the U.S. Department of State to start
accepting refugees into Reno. The NNIC
is affiliated with the University of Nevada,
Reno, and is a nonprofit organization.
The State Department granted the NNIC
provisional approval in February 2016.
If nothing impedes the process, this
would allow refugees from Syria, Columbia, Iraq and other countries to begin settling in Reno. In light of recent attacks on
Paris and Brussels, Gallup found that 60
percent of Americans are apprehensive
about accepting refugees from Syria.
The Mayors Office has supported the
humanitarian goals of the organization,
but have not formally supported the
application to allow in refugees. Nevada
Gov. Brian Sandoval had expressed concerns but has managed to sidestep the
issue by claiming only the federal government has authority to resettle refugees.
The United States has a long history of
being a political and religious safe haven
for people who were on the losing side
in their own countries. Many argue the
United States should keep this tradition
by assisting those who are ostracized by
their own country.

LEGISLATION
Senate rolls through fasttracked agenda in final
meeting of 83rd session
Though the Associated
Students of the University
of Nevada senate may yet
be too green to be putting
legislation through the senate chambers, there is still
plenty of business to be
done. That business took
the form of cabinet appointments last Wednesday as
ASUN President Brandon
Boone put his first set of
cabinet appointees before
the senate proper. All appointees must first face the
senate oversight committee,
who can either recommend
someone favorably or unfavorably.
First to the table was Kevin
Bezick, angling for the position of Blue Crew director.
While Blue Crew was once
part of programming, it
became its own department
with its own director just last
year. Bezick, whos worked
as a part of Blue Crew for the
past two years, had seen it
all and it was this experience
that won over the senate. He
was approved unanimously.
Also approved during the
meeting was ASUNs new
director of programming,
Casandra Hurdle, a chief
presidential aide in former
senator and budget and
finance chair Sebastian
Atienza, and a deputy chief
presidential aide in Victoria
Hudman. All of the nominees went before the senate
oversight committee, comprised of the speaker of the
senate and all the committee
chairs, who recommended
the nominees favorably.
The next slate of nominees, seven in total, is set
to appear before the senate
this week along with Boones
budget for the upcoming
fiscal year.

It may be that a combination of viewpoints could be the answer, but for Paul
Lenart of the Industrial Workers of the
World, education is the key to finding a
collaborative strategy.
What really impressed me was the intersectionality of different types of issues,
Lenart said. This is a labor issue, this is
a race issue, an anti white-supremacy
question. Its a matter of womens rights
issues.
At the end of the day, social justice
activists like Silva and Lenart are fighting
to help facilitate a better life for a large
working class made up of all types of different people. Theyre encouraging others
to actively join in.
Silva left the attendees with one message in light of the upcoming election
go out, be an active participant in the

Everybody Wants Some!! feels more like blase than the '80s
By Blake Nelson
Richard Linklater proclaimed
Everybody Wants Some!! a
successor to both Dazed and
Confused and Boyhood,
something that immediately
made me start sweating. Both
of those films are arguably his
most memorable and saying a
thing like that would only draw
more comparison. But alas, the
past is the past and you cant
take something back from the
past, a strange coincidence
about a film that is set in (you
guessed it) the past but lets
get back on topic.
I would best compare this
film to Dazed and Confused
set in the '80s, but this might
mislead you. Although this
film has Linklaters signature
meandering storytelling style,
it seems that some of the introspective spirit of Dazed and
be considered to be exclusive
arent very '80s; the disco
scenes could have just been a
club scene set in todays time.
Also, when the crew goes to a
punk show seems very similar
to the youthful punk shows
that still occur to this day.
Maybe there is less novelty in
punk today than there was in
the '80s, but only a passing remark is made about the allure
of being a punk in '80s.
Beyond the inconsequential
time period in which the film
is set, this movie just seems to
offer a Linklater-style film that
follows some college students
around. This isnt necessarily a
bad thing; sometimes I prefer
the non-eventful style of Linklaters directing, but this film
doesnt do it for me like some
of Linklaters other movies. In
Linklaters other films, when
people arent doing things it is

WOMENS TENNIS
Nevada tennis suffered a
devastating defeat in Reno,
Nevada, on Saturday, at the
hands of Mountain West foe
Fresno State. The 41st-ranked
Bulldogs could care less whether
it was the Packs senior day, as
they routed Nevadas womens
tennis team in a 7-0 victory.
The most intense match of the
day would take place between,
Nevadas 62nd-ranked doubles
team comprised of Sheila
Morales and Blaga Delic,
squaring off against Fresnos
30th-ranked doubles team
consisting of sisters Rana and
Mayar Sherif Ahmed. The match
would go unfinished ending at
3-3, as the other two doubles
matches would finish, both going
in favor of Fresno State.
MENS GOLF
Nevada ended up taking
seventh place at the Mountain
West Championships in
Tucson, Arizona, out of an
overall field consisting of
11 teams. While Nevadas
final team standing was
mediocre, sophomore Corey
Eddings nearly took first place
individually. Eddings went into
the final day with the lead,
but just fell short as Trevor
Clayton of Fresno State would
take first place. Nevadas head
coach, Jacob Wilner, stated
that playing with the lead in
golf is one of the hardest things
to do in sports in my opinion.
Even though Eddings was the
runner-up, he has a lot to be
proud of, as he bested 52 other
golfers in the tournament.

WHATS THE BIGGEST BENEFIT OF HIRING FORMER UNLV HEAD COACH DAVE RICE?
College basketball is all about recruiting, and Dave Rices
calling card was his ability to recruit top-tier talent. From
from his first class in 2012 to his final class in 2016,
Rice reeled in four 5-star and eight 4-star recruits.
With the addition of Rice, Nevada added former Cal
assistant coach Yann Hufnagel, who is also known for
being a high-profile recruiter. Wolf Pack head coach Eric
Musselman has quickly earned a reputation of being an
elite recruiter, but adding Rice and Hufnagel to the staff Neil Patrick
puts Nevadas recruiting ability over the top. Expect a Healy
couple high-profile commits within the next few weeks.

In 2014, six players tested positive for

Seau
STRENGTHS
Seau has explosive quickness off the
ball and anticipates the snap very well
as a pass rusher. Although hes an undersized defensive end, Seau is a powerful
tackler and often leaves his feet to bring
down ball carriers. His smaller size allows him to be flexible and elusive in the
trenches.
He has two basic moves when rushing
the passer. Seau primarily uses a speed
rush where he tries to beat the offensive
lineman to the outside by anticipating
the snap count. His secondary move is
a swim or rip move back to the inside,
which is a productive counter to his
speed rush. He has an excellent motor
and refuses to stop pursuing until the
whistle blows, something hell need at
his size.
Seaus greatest advantage might be
the premium placed on pass rushers in
todays NFL. If you can get to the quarterback, a team will find a way to put
you on its roster, and Seau has proven

Wolf Pack
softball
swept by
Spartans
By Will Compton
Despite a hard-fought series by the Pack, Nevadas
softball team fell to San Jose State University this
weekend in a 3-0 sweep by the Spartans.
Defensive miscues were the plague for Nevada in
game one as the Spartans took the first victory of the
three-game series, 11-1 on Friday. Freshman Brooke
Bolinger blanked San Jose in the first four innings,
but was shut down after striking out three. Senior
Megan Sweet hit her 10th double of the season, and
is now four away from tying the program record of
61. Bolinger created a quick 1-2-3 at the top of the
first, and freshman Kwynn Warner listed the first
hit of the day for the Pack on a single to left center.
Warner grabbed a quick double on an error by the
Spartans. Senior Jasmine Jenkins took the plate and
hit an RBI right up the middle, giving Nevada a 1-0
lead, the teams only runs of the game. Bolinger
worked herself out of a tight jam in the second, and
ended the third and fourth innings with strikeouts.
Unfortunately, the freshman couldnt keep the
Spartans down for long, as SJSU tallied three runs in
the fifth, five in the sixth and three more in seventh
to seal the win.
Nevadas Sweet hit two-for-four and an RBI, which
places her eight shy from tying the program record,
in game two of the series. Nevada couldnt hold on
to San Jose State and lost 12-4 on Saturday. Junior
McKenna Isenberg went five innings and struck out
three Spartans, while sophomore Aaliyah Gibson
grabbed her fifth triple of the season. San Jose came
out heated in game two, leading 8-0 entering the
bottom of the fourth.
Nevada tallied the beginning of its comeback
in the home half of the inning. Jenkins started
with a walk and sophomore Jennifer Purcell hit a
single down the right sideline. Junior Melissa Arriaga singled to left center field, and scored Jenkins
from second. Nevada had its first score of the game.
Sophomore Amanda Nicholas then came out and
was walked. With bases loaded and no one out, both
senior Amanda Weis and junior Raquel Martinez
earned RBIs by getting hit from the pitch. Sweet
stepped up to the plate and tallied an RBI single,
making the score 8-4. The Spartans continued to
attack Nevada, scoring two runs in the fifth and two
more in the seventh to end the game.
Game three was an absolute slugfest, but Nevadas efforts were not enough, as San Jose State
completed the sweep of the Wolf Pack, 12-8, on
Sunday. The Spartans took an early 7-0 lead in the
top of the fourth, but the Pack answered back in
the bottom half. Gibson hit a single up the middle,
which set up Sweets 12th home run of the season,
putting Nevada on the board, score 7-2. Junior Nikki
Orozco followed up Sweet with a single, then Purcell
stepped up to the batters run of the season, putting
Nevada on the board, score 7-2. Junior Nikki Orozco
followed up Sweet with a single, then Purcell stepped
up to the batters box and bombed a two-run home
run out of left center to make it a three-run game.
Sophomore pitcher Chase Redington came in as
the relief pitcher and delivered an easy 1-2-3 at the
top of the fifth. Nevada then tacked on three more
runs with an RBI single from Orozco and Purcell hit
another two-run home run, tying the game up at
seven all.
San Jose could not be held down, as it racked up
five runs in the top of the sixth to extend its lead
to 12-7. Sweet tallied her third RBI of the day that
brought home Martinez and made the score 12-8.
San Jose would retire Nevada, and end the ball game.
Nevada hits the road this week to take on Colorado
State for a three-game series.
