UNR PUSHES FOR SUSTAINABILITY

RENEWABLE ENERGY
The solar panel system on top of the Joe Crowley Student Union powers 30,000 watts of energy. It would take 1,000 systems of that size to power the campus.
Senate to hear $75 fee proposal

BY THE NUMBERS
The proposed $75 fee is made up of three parts: dollars paid by both graduates and undergraduates will go to performing arts.

UNR is looking to upgrade to lighting xtures that save the most energy for the best value (most likely a uorescent xture). LED lighting is a very new technology, which could create more problems to x, since it hasnt been fully proven effective yet.
UNR leaders look at ways to conserve energy, recycle

By Jessica Fryman
s the university moves toward improving energy efciency on campus, one thing has always stood in the way: the budget. Earlier this month, the university received a $950,000 grant, making it possible to focus on three projects in lighting, renewable energy and recycling. The efforts are going to be smaller, John Sagebiel, manager of environmental affairs, said. But as I always like to point out, thats what adds up to be big things.

Student organizations aim to help green push

By Nick Coltrain
Students hands arent tied when it comes to making the University of Nevada, Reno more energy efcient and sustainable. The student clubs advocating for greener practices prove that. The Environmental Action Team (EnAct) and the Sustainable Energy Forum are two of many clubs on campus that seek to educate and ght for a change in student practices. And its the little things that matter, the club leaders say. For instance, EnAct is in the middle of coordinating energy wars among the different residence halls, a competition that rewards whichever hall reduces its energy usage by the most. Delia Martinez, the clubs president, said the energy wars are a great example of how an entire aspect of campus might lower its energy costs by individual initiative. Instill good habits early thats exactly our goal, she said. If we can get them to change their habits for just one month a year, we can hopefully have a domino effect.
LIGHTING
With a plan thats been in the works since 2007, the university is nally closer to the nal stages of retrotting a lighting system in one of the parking garages. So far, administrators have completed several surveys and cost vs. energy analyses of the garages in an attempt to decide which lighting xtures would best suit the universitys needs. The goal is truly energy savings, Mike Bennett, assistant director of facilities services, said. Bennett said he assumes the university will upgrade one of the parking garages to uorescent lighting because it is the

An Associated Students of the University of Nevada Senate committee will hear a proposal for a new $75 per semester fee for undergraduate students Wednesday evening. If passed by the general senate, the fee will be placed on the agenda for the Nevada System of Higher Education Board of Regents December meeting. The Regents have the nal say on if the fee will be implemented. The proposal also includes a $30 per semester fee for graduate students that would be implemented next fall if the Regents pass it. Their December agenda has not been published leaving the nal decision date open. The fee is part of the ASUN Joint Vision 2017 plan and will be used to pay for a free tutoring center, performing arts on campus and a student activities center. The changes are meant to free up money and people in the undergraduate government and add more campus events and services. Some in the senate said they feel the process of proposing a new fee is happening too fast and should be brought to a student vote through a ballot question rst. Its not that Im necessarily against (the proposal), Sen. Lea Moser, a member of the university affairs committee, said. I just think we need to

Search begins to ll combined administration positions

By Neal Morton
In an effort to develop better research and academic cohesion, university ofcials plan to hire a new administrator to combine the positions of vice president of Health Sciences and dean of the University of Nevada School of Medicine (UNSOM). New opportunities for growth of the medical and nursing student body, new opportunities for space expansion in Las Vegas, new opportunities for fundraising and clinical opportunities for students are what we need to address, University of Nevada, Reno Provost Marc Johnson said. A university search committee for the position will meet this week to outline the qualications and agenda for possible candidates, Johnson said via e-mail. We will talk about characteristics of a successful applicant, discuss the process, encourage afrmative action in developing the candidate list to include women and ethnic minorities and establish a meeting and activity schedule, Johnson said. The meeting with the search rm Isaacson, Miller initiates what ofcials said would be a lengthy process to nd a suitable replacement for outgoing Dean of UNSOM Dr. Ole Thienhaus. Thienhaus served as interim dean of the medical school for an agreed two years, Johnson said, after taking over the dean position when UNR President Milton Glick separated then-

Plaintiffs create Web site alleging UNR Corruption

By Aaron Benedetti
Last week a group identifying itself as UNR Corruption sent an e-mail message titled The Evidence Against UNR Ofcials is Staggering to more than 3,500 members of the Reno-Sparks community. The e-mail quotes Ron Cuzze, president of the Nevada State Law Enforcement Ofcers Association, as saying he believes the public should accept nothing less than a full examination and criminal prosecution regarding claims of extensive corruption at the University of Nevada, Reno. Former Nevada womens soccer coach Terri Patraw, geological sciences professor Richard Schweickert and reinstated UNR Police Department Sgt. Lane Grow, along with other activists, are responsible for the e-mail messages. At an evidentiary hearing last month petitioners Patraw, Schweickert and Grow presented support for their claims of extensive corruption and racketeering at UNR before Washoe District Court Judge Connie Steinheimer. The accusations against the university range from embezzlement of university funds, extortion and abuse of power to intimidation by UNR ofcials and use of UNRPD as a private police force. The petitioners allege that ofcials ranging from UNRPD Chief Adam Garcia to General Counsel Mary Dugan to UNR President Milton Glick are involved in the wrongdoings. Steinheimer has yet to issue a decision on whether the claims will be investigated by a grand jury. Patraw and others have undertaken a publicity campaign to bring attention to the petitioners claims of corruption within the university administration. In addition to issuing a slew of e-mails, Patraw said the petitioners at the suggestion of several concerned citizens have helped organize a peaceful demonstration at noon on Friday outside the Second Judicial District Court in Reno. One of the reasons we want to do the demonstration is that we know Steinheimer is under a lot of political pressure to throw this case out, Patraw said. She needs to know that the people who elected her are tired of the corruption. The petitioners hope to increase awareness of their claims throughout the community because, as Patraw said, everybody has a dog in this ght. Students, taxpayers (and) employees are paying for this corruption, Patraw said. These outside law rms are using state taxpayer and student tuition money to engage in illegal activity. Cuzze said the NSLEOA and its parent organization, the Nevada Association of Public Safety Ofcers, became publicly involved in the corruption issue to show that they stand behind a citizens commission to investigate the allegations. He said nearly every police department in the state supports NSLEOAs position. I dont have any rst-hand knowledge of these allegations other than whats been going on at the UNRPD, Cuzze said, but we support a grand jury to investigate these claims. We are tired of the intimidation and corruption by Chief Garcia. Cuzze said a special prosecutor and grand jury are the proper venue to investigate the claims against the university. He said that the Ofce of the Attorney General investigates all allegations against state institutions, but state attorneys are obliged to represent all state employees in legal matters. Since Nevada has no inspector general to investigate allegations such as the petitioners, Cuzze said he believes theres a natural conict of interests in Nevadas state-level legal system. We feel that the students should know about it, Cuzze said. Not only are they paying tuition, theyre paying taxes, sales tax, too. Kent Robison, a private attorney representing UNR, said the efforts at publicity that the

Student earns top spot

By Gabrielle Irvin
Earlier this month, Cesar Garibaldo was the only student in Nevada selected as a scholar for the Hispanic College Fund. Garibaldo, a 21-year-old accounting and information systems major at the University of Nevada, Reno, was named one of the Top 35 Hispanic business scholars in the nation by the Hispanic College Fund. Thirty-eight thousand students applied for this award, Garibaldo said. Six hundred received scholarships, but only 35 were selected to receive the award. Today, Garibaldo arrives in Washington D.C. to attend the Karen Marquz Institute, a ve-day professional development program that provides Hispanic students the opportunity to learn skills to successfully transition from college to the workforce. Garibaldo will participate in workshops on interviewing skills, public speaking and rsum writing, all delivered by the personnel of national corporations. It is a huge networking program, Garibaldo said. Fifty percent of students walk out with a job. The workshop mentors include chief executives of companies such as Constellation Energy, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, Zeta Associates Inc., Lockheed Martin, MVM, MasterCard, Averrett, Ernst & Young, Fannie Mae and General Dynamics. Garibaldo will receive $4,000 also from Lockheed Martin, his scholarship provider. In order to apply for the award, students must be nominated. Garibaldo has been nominated and applied every year since he was a freshman, making the top 600 each time. This year, Garibaldo was nominated, and with his experience, nally made the top 35. Awardees are chosen on a variety of metrics, Garibaldo said. Community service, work experience, internships, academics and essays are a huge part of the application process. Garibaldo, carrying a cumulative 3.8 GPA, has been on the deans list since he was a freshman and has had numerous internships. He interned at JPMorgan Chase in New York, the Business Environmental Program, the Reno Housing Authority and Chase Card Services in Wilmington, Del. I gave up a lot of my childhood, Garibaldo said. Sometimes I would work 35 hours a week, but now I am getting awards and internships, the work is worth it. School is getting easier with the experience I have gained. Now, Garibaldo is in the application process for an internship with Google. All students have to do is apply, Garibaldo said. There are lots of opportunities on the East Coast that people should take advantage of. Although Garibaldo was

petitioners and others have undertaken are an attempt to unfairly manipulate Steinheimers decision. Theyre obviously trying to inuence a judicial ofcer, which is highly improper in my business, Robison said. He also said Cuzze and the petitioners acted prematurely and irresponsibly in issuing a public statement on the allegations against the university before consulting with university representatives. They dont know the truth, they know the false statements that have been expressed, Robison said. Im sure they raised their eyebrows when they heard it. What they should do is come to us and let us respond to the accusations. Guy Felton, a Web publisher and local activist, created the Web site unrgrandjury.com on Oct. 12 after receiving an unsolicited e-mail from the UNR Corruption group. Felton, who has published several other Web sites alleging corrupt or unfair practices in state and local government, is not afliated with the case against UNR. Civilization can never achieve its highest aspirations without serving justice to the max, Felton said. Web sites can make individuals aware of problems that insult justice and encourage them to get involved in forcing solutions. Felton fully supports a grand jury investigation into the petitioners claims of corruption at the university. He said he nds the evidence of wrongdoing presented by the petitioners as well as by Hussein S. Hussein, a former UNR professor who was red by Glick in 2008, to be deserving of public concern. For bottom-feeding bastards holding responsible posts at UNR to dump on these good people (Patraw, Schweickert, Grow and Hussein) is totally unacceptable, Felton said. Patraw said she and the other petitioners will appeal the case to the Nevada Supreme Court if Steinheimer dismisses it. Though he refused to speculate on Steinheimers decision, Robison said we are optimistic, and we hope justice will take its course when the matter is eventually resolved. Jane Tors, UNR spokeswoman, said the university remains condent that these allegations will again be found to be without merit.

I want to apply to Harvard or (University of California, Berkeley), Garibaldo said. My goal is to get a Ph.D. Garibaldo said that UNR provides students with the necessary resources and support to succeed. He said that Michael Ekedahl, lecturer for the College of Business, has taught and helped motivate him to pursue his goals. Cesar is really committed to stepping up to the plate, Ekedahl said. He is one of those exemplary A students and I have had the opportunity to watch him evolve. He has found his mission and is pursuing it happily. It really makes me happy as an educator. I am honored to represent my school, my family and myself, Garibaldo said. I feel great, ready to graduate and move on to the next phase of my life.

If left untended, the ecosystem of Walker Lake might cease to exist. The alkaline levels are rising at Walker Lake, which was deemed a terminus lake because water sources ow into it but not out, which threatens parts of its ecosystem, according to experts. Numerous lakes in Nevada and around the world are classied as terminus. To address solutions to terminus lakes, the first International Symposium on Terminus Lakes will be at the Joe Crowley Student Union Tuesday and Wednesday.

their latest research techniques for closed basin/terminus lakes and the implications of this research. The event will be composed of four major sessions. Wallace S. Broecker, a geochemist at Columbia University and father of the term global warming, will give the keynote address at 9 a.m. Tuesday to kick off the Walker Basin session. Several other scientists will also reveal their ndings from the Walker Basin Project at the session. The University of Nevada, Reno and the Desert Research Institute have been running the Walker Basin Project for two years and have grabbed the attention of scientists throughout Northern Nevada and abroad, said Mike Collopy, assistant vice president for research and director of the Academy for the Environment. The primary focus was to better understand the ecosystem in general, he said. Scientists running the program hope to nd an efcient way of adding water to Walker Lake to help improve prospects for endangered sh and to enhance crop growth in the basin, Collopy said. Aside from Walker Lake presentations, scientists will be sharing research on closed-basin lakes in Antarctica, Uzbekistan and other areas around the globe. There will also be a session on the Dead Sea. Mike Wolterbeek, a UNR spokesman, said that registration is open to anyone up until the day of the event. Fees are $25 for students and $150 for general admission. The fees will cover admission to the event and the cost of continental breakfast and morning and afternoon refreshments. Students are strongly encouraged to participate in the symposium. We are (hosting) the event on campus because we want students to be involved, Wolterbeek said. The symposium will nish with a eld trip on Thursday.

Researchers from the University of Nevada, Reno were awarded an $890,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to establish the Center for Transformative Environmental Monitoring Programs. The center, which will be run as a collaborative effort between UNR and Oregon State University, will make ber optic and laser thermometers available to other researchers around the country. The thermometers were developed by Scott Tyler, a UNR geological sciences researcher and were rst used to measure the temperature of Walker River and the soil surrounding it. They have since been used to measure temperatures in caves, mines, avalanches and other parts of nature. With the founding of the center, UNR will become a testing and training site for the new thermometers and their use in research.

EnAct also hosted the trashion shows last semester, which participants made elaborate garments by reusing what would otherwise be trash. The club is now working with the Residential Life, Housing and Food Services to reduce waste in the Downunder Caf by turning it into compost. The club, along with a class taught by Academy for the Environment Associate Director Jen Huntley-Smith, composts about 450 pounds of the DCs pre-consumer waste per week, Martinez said. Its only about 5 percent of the DCs 8,000 pounds of weekly pre-consumer waste, but Martinez said the club can handle more composting as the worms used in the process multiply. Recycling is not the best thing we can do, Martinez, a 29-year-old environmental studies and biology major, said. Reducing our consumption and reusing what we do consume is being much more environmental. Russell Meyer, head of ResLifes dining branch, said the students are doing the brunt of the work and its far better than the other option ResLife was considering: trucking the waste to Douglas County for a third-party composting company to handle. It makes a lot of sense for us to be doing this and working with the students and working toward a more sustainable campus, he said. Meyer said the composters and ResLife are looking to sell the eventual compost to make the operation self-funding. On the educational front, the Sustainable Energy Forum has been bringing a variety of speakers to campus to open interested eyes to topics as varied as the political battles surrounding sustainability and religious ties to sustainability to more standard topics such as nuclear energy and electric cars. The club aims to educate students on the nuances to the sustainability and energy debates while enabling students to take sustainability into their own hands, club vice president Jonathan Martinez said. Its just exciting to see people start to think on another level, he said. I think its one of the hallmarks of our generation, that we think in this way that we want to sustain ourselves. The speakers have been drawing substantially larger crowds each week, forcing the club to book the senate chambers in the student union to ensure sitting room, Martinez, a 25-year-old general studies major, said. The club wants to go bigger from there, such as planning a sustainability fair in the coming weeks plans similar to EnActs and generally open a whole can of worms on sustainability issues on campus, he said. The SEF recently received a donation of teaching modules so club members can give seminars to K-12 classes on energy use, he said another small step toward making the campus and its surrounding community a little more sustainable. All of us are spreading awareness in our own way, Martinez said.

most energy efcient for the cost. For example, if the West Stadium Parking Complex were to change from metal halide lights to uorescent, it would save 526,781 kilowatts and more than $59,000 per year. The initial installment would cost about $150,000, Sagebiel said. Elements that factor into the upgrade include high start-up costs, evaluating new technologies and long-term maintenance savings. LED lights, which have been installed in exit signs in newer buildings, raise concerns among administrators for a parking garage upgrade because they arent a proven technology, Bennett said. LED lights last up to 10 to 15 times longer than other lights, but because they are still untested over long periods of time, they could burn out quicker than expected, said Steven Rothschild, chief executive ofcer of Applied Interactive, a company that sells commercial lighting. You are talking new technology thats not always effectively proven before being installed, Rothschild said. Thats probably the biggest issue. Despite the initial expense and concerns with new technology not running properly, Rothschild said LED lights are the future. They will replace a substantial amount of existing xtures, he said. Theres no question about that. Its just a question of when is the technology signicantly established and the cost low enough that it is worthwhile to change technology. This isnt an if. This is when. For now, UNR administrators say the cost of installing LED lights with the risks make uorescent lighting a more probable option right now. LED technology is still in its infancy, Bennett said. Im always reluctant to spend state taxpayer money on items that are truly cutting edge that dont
have at least ve years of known technology and applications behind them. If we make a mistake, we have to go back and ask the taxpayers to x that mistake.
SOLAR ENERGY
First on the list for the renewable energy project is installing a solar panel system on the greenhouses on Valley Road. The main non-glass structure was designed to support the weight of a solar panel system. We dont want to be going around messing with roofs of buildings that are 100-andsomething years old, Sagebiel said. The engineering was done to support the system. Its already basically set to go so it would be an ideal opportunity. Although the money is not always readily available with the opening of new buildings, Sagebiel said it sends a powerful message to construct buildings with the ability to house solar panels, so the opportunity is there when the money comes. But even installation projects like the one in preliminary stages for the greenhouse are just a small start. For example, the campus would need 1,000 solar panel systems like the one on top of the Joe Crowley Student Union to power the entire campus. The Joes system holds 112 panels and cost $300,000 (mostly money from donors) to install.
RECYCLING
The amount of glass, plastic and aluminum recycled on campus increased by almost 54,000 pounds between 2005 and 2007. Now, statistics show that levels of recycled materials are leveling out a bit, so the university hopes to start hiking up the effort once again. About half of the universitys recycled materials come from the residence halls, which consistently push recycling initiatives by providing bins and marketing. Its a matter of increasing capacity, Sagebiel said. We think we have an opportunity to capture more material.
LED lights were installed in exit signs in newer buildings, such as the Joe Crowley Student Union. Other sustainable initiatives include upgrading lighting xtures to save energy in one of the parking garages.
In addition to the residence hall bins, the university has 139 recycling bins spread out among 48 buildings. There are no plans on buying more bins because money hasnt been budgeted to do so. However, special requests to pick up recycling will continue to be fullled.

Fee proposal
know students opinion on it rst. Moser said in talking with students about the Joint Vision, few knew what the plan was, and even fewer were in favor of the new fee. Moser said she plans to look into writing legislation to send the fee to a student vote in the next ASUN election, delaying its presentation to the Regents. ASUN President Eli Reilly said bringing the proposal to a student vote would push the timeline back too far and is not needed. If thats what the senate decides,
so be it and I will support it because they are the voice of the students, but this is something that needs to be decided now, he said. The fee is urgent, Reilly said, because it will bring back tutoring services needed by students on campus and keep (ASUN) relevant to students. The senate is elected to serve as the voice of the undergraduate student body and bringing the proposal to them is sufcient, Reilly said. Even when the new student union was built, we didnt bring that to a student vote, he said. The fee, if passed, would be broken into three parts. Both graduate and undergraduate students would pay two parts of the fee and only undergraduates
would pay the third part. The tutoring center, called the Academic Success Center by the proposal submitted to the senates university affairs committee, would receive $25 of the new fee, generating about $680,000 per year, according to the proposal. Both graduates and undergraduates would pay this part of the fee. The Academic Success Center would include a math center, a writing center and a tutoring center, all three of which would be open to students for free. Both undergraduate and graduate students would pay another $5, generating about $160,000 per year, which would go to existing arts programs like the Nevada Repertory Company
and the Sheppard Gallery. Only undergraduates would pay the remaining $45 according to the proposal, which would bring in almost $1.2 million for a student activities center. The proposal describes the center as necessary because the organization has grown to a size where (the combination of student government and student activities) is no longer feasible. With the money freed up by creating the student activities center, ASUN can take on issues facing students like the building of a south campus lounge or expanding student publications with greater ease, Reilly said when the Joint Vision plan was released. That south side lounge idea

Health VP
dean of UNSOM and vice president of Health Sciences John McDonalds position. Due to a reorganization of the College of Health and Human Sciences in 2008, McDonalds position was split in two to ensure a smooth shift, said Marsha Read, interim vice president for research and head
of the search committee. I think it was really just trying to look at how to be sure that in a transition like that, the health sciences didnt get forgotten or fall through the cracks, Read said. You dont want to leave those things without direction. Read said the need for a leader back then carried over into the recombining of the dean and vice president positions. As the upcoming William N.
Pennington Health Sciences Education Building reects a physical restructuring of the universitys medical studies, the combination of the positions would provide what Read said was much-needed cohesion for the universitys medical schools. We can physically bring them together, so we ought to bring whoevers going to lead this charge to lead us philosophically back together too, Read said.
Johnson echoed Read and said the synergy of academic missions under one administrator would benet students. Since the strategic plan for the health sciences in 2005, the objective of the university has been to integrate all of the health sciences together for teaching, research, outreach education and clinical services, he said. Johnson promised undergraduates more opportunities
for research programs. He also said graduate students will see better interaction between clinical practice and research with an emphasis in physician and nurse practitioners. Johnson and Read could not say what future role McDonald would have after the position is lled. McDonald declined to comment on the issue.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
STAFF EDITORIAL I ASUN
Bookstore advertising laws need revision
Oct. 22, 9:33 a.m. by e-mail: Dear Eli Reilly (president of the ASUN), Absolutely pathetic, unexcusable, and unbelievable failure; these are just some of the words that I would use to describe what happened this morning when I woke up, left my house early (skipping breakfast) in order to get the wolf pack breakfast. After aimlessly wandering around campus for a solid 30 minutes, I found one of the many information kiosks littered around campus and called the number for the ASUN event activities. I was appalled to nd out that for some inexplicable reason, they decided (the morning of) to cancel the event, without telling anyone other than the person answering the phone. Now the only breakfast I get before a midterm test, is a simple piece of gum that I conveniently had in my pocket. If there was some act of God that caused this unfortunate event, why did the ASUN lack the moral and ethical responsibility to have someone out there letting people know? Congratulations Eli, in under an hour you have successfully taken any faith I had left in the ASUN and tore it apart. I hope you fail all your midterms, Leonard Williams
fter a Wolf Pack victory on the football eld, the student-owned bookstore offers 5 percent off per touchdown but thats practically a secret. Thats because the Associated Students of the University of Nevada Bookstore is only allowed to advertise its products in this newspaper, making its outreach to alumni and the surrounding area much more limited than what it could be. Before ASUN starts thinking up extra fees to charge students, it should tap into
increasing revenue at the bookstore, where all the prots, minus operating costs, go back to ASUN and the Graduate Student Association. In past years, bookstore revenue has helped pay for the climbing wall at Lombardi Recreation Center and several scholarships. The advertising restriction is part of an agreement with the university to ensure the bookstores non-prot status. However, the rules of governing a non-prot organization do not restrict advertising. Student senators should make
changing this agreement a priority, as it would benet all of their constituents. It is ridiculous that ASUN leaders have had to use trickery to promote the bookstore because of the current agreement. For example, the new billboards simply advertise ASUN, in hopes that will remind people about the bookstore because ASUN Bookstore advertising is illegal. While The Nevada Sagebrush appreciates the ad revenue from the bookstore, it is inappropriate that there

is a ban on further marketing opportunities, which would bring more prot to the bookstore. Changing the agreement would change more than just advertising policies for
ASUN Bookstore
the on-campus bookstore; it would bring more people to campus and potentially increase prots at on-campus eateries. If people knew that the bookstore sold more than just books and that all the revenue went back to student government, several community members and alumni would stop robbing students of money by purchasing Nevada gear from outside venues.

COLUMN: INTELLIGENT DESIGN THEORY INSULTS SCIENCE, RELIGION
On Oct. 20, 6:25 a.m., Curt Cameron wrote: In your sentence The basis for almost all of the evidence for this theory is the Christian Bible and misinterpretations of scientic theories, I disagree with most of this. First, I wouldnt grant ID the term theory. Call it an idea, but its not a scientic theory. Next, ID doesnt depend on the Bible (especially not the Christian Bible, because some of its advocates are Jewish), but strains to avoid the Gword in public. They always refer to some unnamed designer. Finally, although many of its advocates misunderstand the Theory of Evolution, thats not what its based on. I follow the ID movement pretty closely, and its based on two things: the argument from incredulity (that just looks so complicated that I dont see how it could have evolved naturally) and a misunderstanding of information theory. They seem to be hung up on the idea that natural evolution (random mutation plus natural selection) couldnt increase the information content of DNA, but theyre clearly wrong and no one who understands complexity and information theory has any doubt about that. Bill Dembski has come up with the idea of Specied Complexity as something different from what everyone else in the eld refers to as complexity, but he cant even dene what it is exactly. But the rest of your article was spot-on. ID is based on a pre-commitment to religious ideas and they use logical fallacies and their own undened measures to say natural evolution couldnt happen. But ID doesnt even say what DID happen just ask an IDer whether the Earth is 4.5 billion years old or 10,000 years old and watch them get real uncomfortable they wont even clearly take a position on THAT.
y computer broke. On the downside, I can no longer listen to music, watch DVDs or do homework in bed. On the upside, I did gain a $2,000 doorstop. The other relative upside of this debacle is that my 5-year-old Dell, which survived the wars of my early college years, lost three keys (C, K and L) and took five minutes to open a Web browser, is going to be replaced by an early graduation gift from my parents. But until that new shiny laptop shows up, Im living in my 1930s-era apartment very much like people in the 1930s. I live alone, so theres no other computer. I do own a TV, but since Im unwilling to pay for cable and dont own a working DVD player, its pretty much a nightstand. Ever since moving out of my parents house, I havent owned a CD player or radio and my apartment lacks a dishwasher, clothes washer, dryer or, really, much insulation. The first evening of being stranded from modern life was the most productive evening of Emily my life. Katseanes Everything was quiet and serene. Its just like being in a cottage, I thought. I took a nap, which was wonderful. Then I washed about 4,000 dirty dishes, which was necessary. I did homework. I swept and washed the kitchen floor. I drank a glass of wine. I made my bed. I ate a piece of toast. I cleaned up my toast mess. And then, I got bored. After about four hours of quietly focusing on one thing at a time, I ran to the Knowledge Center to multitask my rotten little brains out. I almost felt dirty sprinting back to the wired life so soon, but man, it was like a homecoming to be Facebooking, e-mailing (on two accounts!), typing a paper, writing a column, shopping for new computers and chatting all at the same time. Technology changing the way people work and socialize is nothing new. Before color televisions, people dreamt in black and white. Now, virtually no one does. Ive been brought up with computers and the multitasking magic that comes with them. This probably isnt good or bad, as long as we remember to focus singularly when its really important. Its hard to do only two things at once when you can have endless Web browsers open, but when papers, e-mails and Facebook are all pressing, stressful matters, it can help to pare down and do things step by step. Similarly, when Im used to texting all the time, it feels unnatural to turn it off, but whomever Im talking with face-to-face appreciates it. Still, I am looking forward to the day my shiny, new laptop shows up. I miss checking my e-mail while I drink coffee in the morning, watching DVDs while I do homework and sending work e-mails in my slippers. Besides, whats the point of playing hooky from class if I cant use that time to surf YouTube? Emily Katseanes is the Perspectives editor. She jumped ship and ordered a Mac laptop.

Take every opportunity that comes along in college

s college students, we often crash into new opportunities in life, work and pleasure. These opportunities can be scary or exciting, look like a mountain or just a short path and open many doors or close a few. When you hear people say, College should be the best time of your life, you should listen and do your best to make this come true. Taking on new challenges, opportunities and hobbies is what college is all about and the best thing you can do right Hayley now is nd Rasmussen yourself. When I received a very scary, yet exciting, opportunity to do a weeklong externship at one of the most renowned equine medical centers in the United States, I didnt know what to think. I thrive off of the ambulatory practice of vet med, so the huge hospital surgery aspect isnt quite my forte. My boss told me it would
do wonders for my vet school application. I could get to know more doctors and widen my veterinary medicine experience. But I was comfortable with eld surgery and jeans. I didnt need scrubs and a huge, expensive surgery room. As much as I wanted to jump on the opportunity, I was intimidated. I would not know anyone, the other externs would most likely be in vet school already and I was just a pre-vet student from Reno. Then, the two words that should run your life popped into my head: carpe diem. Seize the day. Each and every exciting new opportunity that comes your way should be taken. Were not getting any younger and today is the prime time to try something new. In a few years or even this year, you are going to graduate, nd a job and not have as much time to explore new opportunities. Today is the time to broaden your horizons and try something new, make sure you are in the right major and ask yourself, Is this really what I want? I manned up. I took on the scary opportunity and drove eight and a half hours to Solvang, Calif., to the Alamo
Pintado Equine Medical Center. Despite my uncertainties, surgery turned out to be fun. Sterile prep was a lot different for major surgery than in the elds of Reno and arthroscopic surgeries completely sparked my curiosity. I spent at least 10 hours a day soaking in everything I could. I was at APEMC two more times that summer and now have the opportunity to do a two-week externship with them this winter. Had I not taken myself outside my comfort zone, I would never have gured out if I actually liked surgery and big veterinary hospitals until my third year of vet school. Dont wait to experience life. Take life on as it comes to you. Face up, stand strong and really open up your mind to learn more about yourself. Tomorrow is never guaranteed, and the scariest opportunity may turn out to be the best thing that has ever happened to you. Seize the day, seize the opportunity and live your college dreams. Carpe diem.

Boston Molassacre recreation Biased news coverage leaves 21 frat members dead
THE LAST HONEST REPORTER
CONSERVATIVE POINT OF VIEW
failed recreation of the Boston Molasses Disaster, also known as the Boston Molassacre, left 21 members of the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity dead on Saturday. The tragedy came when a molasses holding silo was lled past its limit, causing the vat to burst and ood the small garage in which it was housed. It was truly one of the most horrifying and delicious jobs I have been called on, said Jim Draper, the rst ofcer to arrive on the scene. It was hard trying to balance Casey the emotions of seeing Durkin 21 dead, caramelized men with the happy childhood memories of my grandmother that the smell of molasses brought me. The Boston Molassacre was a mishap at a Boston molasses distillery in 1919, in which a vat of molasses burst and ooded the surrounding neighborhood in the sticky substance. The original Molassacre killed 21 people as well, giving the sad event a coincidental twist. The newly formed Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity was created last August by 22
men, known to most as molassochists, who had a common interest in studying odd, manmade disasters and the wildly perverse niche of the sexual use of molasses. According to the president and only survivor of the fraternity, Chad Molysses S. Grant, the new fraternity was in the process of building their oat for the homecoming parade when the disaster struck. The oat, themed How the Molasses Flooded Christmas, a spoof of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, was supposed to not only adhere to the Dr. Seuss homecoming theme, but also be an ironically tasteless tribute to the Boston Molassacre. The molasses silo was to be placed on the oat and let out a small, steady ow of molasses onto a rough papier-mch rendering of Boston, circa 1919, under the close supervision of molasses engineers, also known as molmen. This brings an all new meaning to the word bittersweet, Grant said. I am quite devastated every single one of my molassochists died, but I take great solace in the fact that this is how they would want to have been fructosed (a molassochist death). Police reports stated that six hours before the homecoming parade, the 21 members were locked naked in the small garage where the silo was kept in order to take part in the traditional molassochist sweat lodge. In this
bafing tradition, participants sit in a small, unventilated room where they pour molasses over hot rocks, which then evaporates, and settles on their skin. Once the settled molasses dries, the participants develop a thin candy coating that they believed gives them spiritual enlightenment and sexual gratication. Police believed that the intense heat caused the overloaded silo to burst and ood the room, drowning 20 members and killing one from molasses intoxication. Local police and reghters did try to free the encased molassochists, even at one point having neighborhood children try to eat away the quickly drying substance, only to be stopped because of horrible tummy aches. I tried my bestest, said 9-year-old Timmy Slovak. But after eating a bunch of the sweet goo and melted skin I got too full to go on. Molysses S. Grant is currently working with the city of Reno to make October 24 a state holiday in remembrance of the great tragedy. If the legislation passes, that day will become The Great Reno Boston Molassacre Molassacre Remembrance Day.

reaches boiling point

ust when I think conict in the political arena is starting to die down and lie in dormancy, I am gifted with an epic battle between Washington, D.C. and Fox News. This was really just a story with building tension that was waiting for a tipping point. Fox News has traditionally been more critical of liberal or Democratic leaders than their conservative counterparts. My liberal friends would occasionally criticize how Fox News was conservative, and I would reply with similar statements about MSNBCs liberal bias. The opposing sides worked in harmony, until now. The liberal/progressive movement has been gaining steam across the country. Its latest victory was Obamas election to the White House. Now with a liberal Congress and president and therefore a liberal administration, these Nic activists can nally begin their crusade to Dunn push through the goals they have dreamed about for years. In their minds, nothing stands in the way. Nothing, that is, except Fox News. The pieces were perfectly set for a media war, and most likely the last straw that pushed us over the tipping point was health care reform. Liberals nally felt like they had a shot at achieving real health care reform, unimpeded by a ssured Congress. With the power in their hands, the time to act was at hand, but they severely underestimated the drive of the American public. Citizens came out in droves with a level of zeal only occasionally seen in such large numbers. Many Americans were furious by much of what was in the initial health care bill. Others were relieved and hopeful that such a bill might pass. Whichever side you took, you had numbers on your side. This started as the epitome of what a representative democracy should be: Lawmakers taking their proposal to the people and the people giving their reply. But things quickly turned nasty, especially for the Democrats. Those who opposed this health care reform were sometimes better informed and more, shall we say, enthusiastic than the Democratic leaders predicted. This unpleasant surprise started the downward spiral in this nationwide battle. Things got progressively nastier, with Fox News reporting with its conservative leaning. Eventually it got to the point that the Obama administration was getting sick of the town hall meetings, sick of the Republicans and, most of all, sick of Fox News. This bitter war is really nothing more than an extension of the childish bickering we see every day in American politics. Republicans and Democrats seem to hate each other and that wont change anytime soon. Politicians are more concerned with consolidating their power base and remaining in ofce than with actually helping the American people. This latest spat is, in part, a ploy by the Left to do all they can to associate Fox News with the Republican Party, suggesting they are one and the same. It is all marketing aimed at defaming the opposition in order to get their goals passed. What can we do about this? According to this oft-pessimistic journalist, not a whole lot. So, in the meantime, sit tight, wait for the storm to settle and for things to return to a general state of equilibrium. And above all else, take EVERY bit of news you get with a grain of salt, no matter which agency it comes from.

MEMO ON YOUR HEALTH
Health care report deserves to fail

m usually not one to indulge in Schadenfreude. When I feel pleasure in the misfortunes of others, I normally suppress such feelings, acquiescing to the pang of shame that normally follows. One of the exceptions to this is when I go to a University of Nevada, Reno basketball game and see a Boise State player get his shot stuffed back down his throat. This is usually followed by a thunder of Wolf Pack fans chanting, you-got-swat-ted and the subsequent Memo sound of ve melodious Sanchez claps. One cant help but bask gloriously in the shame of his defeat. Similarly, when I saw the health care insurance industry in particular Americas Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) fall at on their faces following the October release of a report performed by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC), I was unabashedly
beaming with satisfaction. This report analyzed four features of the health care bill that was in the Senate Finance Committee using a worst-case scenario model and completely disregarded any of the price-reducing provisions that were a part of the legislation. It offered only a cursory sentence or two on page one confessing that there are cost-lowering provisions that (they) have not included in this analysis ... that would offset some of the impacts (they) have estimated. PWC simply cherry-picked what they wanted from the legislation in an effort to mislead people about the impact of this bill. It is a one-dimensional and, quite honestly, half-assed attempt by the health care insurance companies to scare politicians and Americans into opposing the health care legislation in Congress right now. Im not upset at insurance companies for presenting their viewpoint, but I am angry that they are trying to present an entirely awed study as fact. Im angry that while CEOs of health
insurance companies enjoy their annual salaries of 10 million dollars or more, millions of Americans lack even the most basic forms of health care. Im angry theyre doing everything they can to keep things the way they are. This includes a health care status quo of denying health insurance to those who need it most and ghting their customers tooth and nail so they can deny care and maximize prots. Im angry that if the health insurance companies have their way, health care in our country will continue to evolve around the dollar sign and not the well-being of Americans. When I see Karen Ignagni (current CEO of AHIP) and her army of lobbyists ounder desperately in an attempt to regain their footing in Washington D.C., I am candidly celebrating, grinning from ear to ear. And for this I have no shame and offer no apologies.

YOUR BRAIN ON RELIGION
Religion passes down societal values through stories

he origin of religions, like all aspects of the natural world, can be explained scientically. They have developed over millennia to help explain humankinds place within the universe and serve as a social adhesive, tightening communities and strengthening the bonds fostered by human interaction. The evolutionary roots of religious sentiments do not in any way diminish the signicance of those feelings in the lives of those who experience them. Rather its basis can help explain religions purpose within the realm of human knowledge. People are, above all else, patternseeking animals. Human beings with their giant brains have an incredible talent for nding order in the world. Whether tracking animals or navigating the stock market, nding and exploiting patterns is a great way to get ahead. Getting ahead means a better life,
which means more offspring, which means those traits will become more common throughout the population through successive generations. Pattern-seeking is an incredibly important, evolved trait. But people do something much more interesting than just establishing logical connections: They tell stories about those connections. The story of the boy who cried wolf is a much more effective way of conveying its message (tell the truth or people wont believe you) than a logical dissertation full of modus ponens and hypothetical syllogisms. It is more effective because people didnt grow up (in the evolutionary sense) to understand cold, hard logic. Rather, our brains were developed in sub-Saharan Africa to understand the actions and motives of our friends and family. Detecting fairness, greed and benevolence were all more important to our ancestors than being able to
Science has succeeded because it can explain the truth logically and precisely. But we sense, intuitively, that there is more to life than logic and facts.
solve a Rubiks Cube or program a TiVo, even though similar amounts of Barry logical induction Belmont and deduction are involved. The ascertaining and maintaining of social contracts conferred survivability to individuals and their offspring; thus people created stories. While stories worked for small tribes, as populations grew, the stories that conveyed the most potent and meaningful messages became myths to express the truths of these stories to more people. Myths can be as simple as the hook hanging from the car door of the couple on lovers lane to as grand as the ooding of the Earth, but each is a strong story, grounded in plausibility and containing a cream lling of wisdom. In addition to countless historical, anthropological, political and theological reasons for the existence of religion, one thing that all religions do quite well is promote myths. This social function of religion is that it creates bonds, validates altruism and fosters community for those who partake, all of which are evolutionarily preferred. Religion is therefore nothing
short of the sum total of hundreds of thousands of years of accumulated human wisdom. What is science if not another version of humankinds pattern-seeking behavior writ large? Science has succeeded because it can explain the truth logically and precisely. But we sense, intuitively, that there is more to life than logic and facts. Religions, myths and stories all tell us something more than just the truth; ultimately, they tell us the way our successful ancestors related to and solved their moral dilemmas. We should never be afraid to follow their example.

a bleeding wound, using raw meat creates a realistic effect. In one scene I had my leg sliced open by the end of a spade shovel, Smihula said. We had a raw piece of steak under my pants, a plastic tube and a blood bag. When Id squeeze my leg to look like I was in pain, the blood would squirt out of the tube and the bag. A skull-smashing effect can also be made with the right angles and a few everyday groceries. We took the yolk and stuff out of an egg through a small hole and filled it with blood, Smihula said. If the egg is strapped or held on the front of the face, and you smash the face into a wall, the egg will crack and the blood will go everywhere. The crunching sound of the eggshell helps with the skull-cracking noise too. Soften some wax in hands, using adhesive remover to keep from sticking to ngers. Place wax on face in the shape of the scar. Smooth and blend edges of wax into skin. Brush adhesive remover on top of wax to smooth out wrinkles and bumps. Sponge adhesive over wax and avoid getting on eyebrows or in hair. Find a makeup color that matches skin tone; sponge this foundation over the wax. Indent a thin line into center of wax to create indentation of the cut. Go over cut with esh-colored liquid latex. Darken center of cut with black makeup. Paint red makeup on outer sides of the black on the inside of the cut. Use a round sponge to create bruising around the cut with red, purple and yellow makeup. Dab on darker spots and blend outwards into other colors and into skin. Use stipple sponge to blend red, yellow and purple makeup around the wound to break up the colors. Use a brush to powder translucent face powder over makeup to dull colors and absorb oil. Dab blood gel onto center of cut. Use bottled liquid blood to stipple around the wound. Stipple black on top of everything to further break up the prosthetics. outlines of cuts and scratches on the skin. Use eyebrow brush to apply a small amount of black and red makeup in the pattern of scratches. Powder translucent face powder over the makeup. Create bruising or black eye around the deeper cuts with purple, yellow and green makeup. Blend into skin. Use blood gel to trace over black lines. Create thin lines/ scratches of blood. Use liquid blood to stipple on top of existing scratches and scrape sponge downwards to thicken gel and create scratched look.

Also be sure you are filming in an authorized area, or you may be kicked out. Once we were shooting on the side of the highway, Smihula said. We had pillows over our heads, Japanese samurai swords and were surrounded by bones and blood. A cop eventually came and told us if we werent gone in five minutes, we were going to the station. Filming at a shooting range is also a great idea to stay realistic. By filming from the ground or a low angle, the camera will capture the shooter, gun and the sky but not the actual range.

showdown at the end, theres just not enough action. Then theres the fact that the weasel looks like a giant squid covered in cow manure. As for the acting, Smihulas cool, authoritative gure is the most believable, while Fred Borges as the main scientist goes over the top of the top. Undoubtedly, this is the lesser of all the Schiff horror icks.
THE LONG ISLAND CANNIBAL MASSACRE
viewers are treated to a twisting plot, an engaging score and a plethora of violence including the use of lawnmowers, chainsaws and slamming car doors to terrorize the killers helpless victims. While Smihula has the lead role as the cop, its actually Fred Borges who steals the show this time around with his insane tendency to have lengthy conversations with garbage bags lled with human remains. Overall, it is the least exciting of the Schiff icks, but denitely his best piece of work as a lmmaker.
THEY DONT CUT THE Plot: In order to feed his can- GRASS ANYMORE
nibalistic father, a son works with a pair of serial killers, who murder and dismember teen couples who go to make out in the forest. When a frustrated cop learns about the murders, he quits the force to take justice into his own hands. The lowdown: In his sophomore outing Schiff actually tries to make a respectable horror ick. With the longest runtime of all three lms at 92 minutes,
Plot: Hillbilly Billy Buck (Smihula) and his deformed friend Jacob (Adam Berke) are a couple of gardeners who are sick of todays high-class society, and even more sick of the fact that they have to tend to rich peoples lawns. To release some anger, the two go on a demented killing spree, mutilating anyone they darn well please. The lowdown: Bingo! Schiff has nally found the true spirit of
the B-grade horror ick in his third outing. By far the most gruesome and downright repulsive, They Dont Cut the Grass Anymore forgets about the plot and repeatedly shoots for the most outrageous kills ever seen in any horror lm. For example, after Jacob cuts open the stomach of a young girl, he proceeds to tear the esh, muscle and even calcium off of her skull. Playing the spiteful redneck in overalls, Smihula is a blast to watch and listen to. His shining moment is when he shoots a girl in her privates, tears the dangling pieces from her body and feeds it to his pooch. In my book, this is the epitome of great B-rate horror. On one nal note, after watching Smihula propel a sharp metal prod down a college males arse, I have decided that it is in my best interest to be the most studious and attentive core humanities student I can possibly be.

Continuing with its trademark twist ending, Saw VI does not disappoint. While nothing can beat the original lms last moments, this is a sure step up from the last few lms, which felt a bit like a broken record. While it seemed like the series
downfall was inevitable, Jigsaw has found the right pieces and they t terrifyingly well, especially for a sixth serving.

Whiskey
Take the West Street Market, for example I wouldnt have known of its somewhat recent makeover without the booze to tempt me. Instead, I would have remained ignorant of the bright paint and clean patio in favor of not leaving the backyard of Pub N Sub. And, by leaving my normal spot, I was supporting the aforementioned Derby Demons; the event was a fundraiser for Ginger Snatch and the rest of the girls. But enough of that talk. Now its time for the whiskey. It was everything I had hoped
it would be: there were new whiskeys, old whiskeys, good whiskeys and bad whiskeys. There was so much whiskey that I felt like I was trapped in a Pogues song. Hell, there was so much whiskey that even my liquorshy roommate found a few he dug, another benet of Renos drink-accepting culture. There were no worries in the downtown alcove. Just lines of the likeminded, all in a friendly stupor and ready to share advice on whiskeys to try or to avoid. Overall, it was a great event that showed off the best parts of Reno and alcohol good people getting together for a good time in a unique way.
While it wont be returning for probably another year, the over-21s can still look forward to the Beer Crawl and Wine Walk next month. You owe it to yourself to go to each at least once. We all (I hope) have graduation looming somewhere on the horizon, along with all the uncertainties that may bring. A Saturday afternoon while in college is a sad thing to waste, especially when there are good drinks, good people and good events to carry it away.

Buttons
the quality of synthesizers and overall recording. Everything is so cleanly put together in this album that I would not be surprised if it could be brought from the underground and actually get some legitimate club play. The mixing is so precise and intentional that it can make you think an Ecstasyinduced orchestra created it rather than two awkward British guys. The synthesizers are definitely the product of this new system providing more depth, clarity and progression with multiple verses at times instead of the three-note progression synonymous with earlier Fuck Buttons music. Virtually the only thing that was kept from their earlier style was the distorted-pastunderstanding vocal effects, another thing that makes the Fuck Buttons unique. Overall, the Fuck Buttons sound like they have found their groove. For being as edgy and experimental as they are, it is a great surprise to see things cleaned up in their new album. Though they have made a significant creative leap, I do think that there is a way to go in order to reach their full potential. Though the genre of music the Fuck Buttons are apart of calls for lots of repetition and obscurity, I still think some more dynamic factors would help their case and make them a better band.

University of Nevada, Reno professor John Smihula starred in three horror lms that were later released on DVD.
Smihula
Nobody was a trained actor, Smihula said. They were our brothers, and our brothers girlfriends and their girlfriends friends. There were numbers of people who volunteered and then didnt show up so we had to remove characters or alter the script. The original conception of all the lms based on our lack of personnel and equipment. Lack of money and training, however, didnt stop Smihula and his friends from doing what they love. Through using everyday props, the trio was able to bring their lms together. When we didnt know how to make blood we came up with
hideous concoctions, Smihula said. We would use ketchup, cranberry juice, Jell-O and almost anything that was red. We even used cow blood once. We bought it from the butcher. But dont use real blood; it smells. Smihulas students had no idea he was an actor but said it ts his personality well. Hes very animated in class all the time, Ashley Cray, a core humanities student, said. I can see him being in horror lms, especially as the person being killed. He has that middle-class serial-killer look, Jeff Creedon, a 28-year-old psychology major, said. Hes like that guy no one would expect.

The cast of The Psychoscope is made of university faculty and members of the Reno community. A readers theater production of the play will be performed this week. By Casey OLear
In honor of the 150th anniversary of the discovery of the Comstock Lode, the Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center will play host to a readers theater-style production of The Psychoscope, a play written in 1871 by two colleagues of Mark Twain in Virginia City, at 7 p.m. Wednesday. The play was written in 1871 by a couple of newspaper guys in Virginia City, so we thought this would be fun to do, David Fenimore, who adapted the play for the performance, said. I took it and chopped it down so it only lasts for 45 minutes. Judging by the rehearsals, I think its going to go really well. Its a semi-staged readers theater with some costumes and props. We found this really ingenious way to do the sets using a projector, so were using actual historical photos for the sets.
COURTESTY OF TYLER KECK
This play is so weird, Director David Fenimore said. Its a really bizarre combination of genres. The play is like a melodrama with the heroic good guy who has a romance with the cute young woman and theres a sneering villain, so there are all these stock-type characters.
The play was originally written by Rollin Daggett and Joseph Goodman, two employees of the Territorial Enterprise, the newspaper in Virginia City. The play was only performed a couple of times during the 1870s before it became buried in archives and was not performed again until a University of Nevada, Reno professor acquired a script and put on the play as a part of Mackay Week in the 1940s. Virginia City was the biggest town in Nevada during the Comstock, Fenimore said. It was certainly the biggest town between Chicago and San Francisco, so it was a pretty lively place. There were four or ve theaters. It was a major cultural center and there were no movies yet, so stage plays were the thing. (The Psychoscope) was kind of controversial. A lot of people liked it, and a lot of people were shocked by it. It was only performed two different times when it was written and its been 60 years since its last been seen. Fenimore compares The
Psychoscope to the 1935 Gene Autry lm The Phantom Empire, which follows the story of a cowboy who stumbles upon a lost, underground civilization that possesses technology such as robots and ray guns. This play is so weird, he said. Its a really bizarre combination of genres. The play is like a melodrama with the heroic good guy who has a romance with the cute young woman and theres a sneering villain, so there are all these stock-type characters. It also includes a realistic brothel scene the first realistic description of a whorehouse onstage ever. There are also science fiction elements. The main character is an inventor who breaks out of jail by building a disintegration ray. He also makes the psychoscope, which is a projector of peoples thoughts. There are a lot of

improbable plot twists. Lawrence Berkove, an expert in Comstock-era literature, including The Sagebrush School of writers, as the Virginia City group has been called, will introduce the play and host a seminar on Thursday about recovering lost classic literature. At the performance of The Psychoscope, Berkove will also accept an award on behalf of The Sagebrush School from the Nevada Writers Hall of Fame.

season? Thats a question that I thought would plague this new season, with the show already losing a little steam at the end of last season and the writers turning to side stories to try and keep things fresh. Yes, the Michael Scott Paper Company was fresh, but it also seemed like a crutch to keep the show going until the nale. Now with season six already seven weeks in, the writers have bombarded the audience with several big events, including an unexpected promotion, a wedding and a possible encounter with the maa, and somehow it all works. The Office was originally a British TV show that ran for only two seasons, and was based more on the small humor that can be found in the
dull and often harsh realities of working in a cubicle. The show won two Golden Globes and when it was re-imagined for the United States, it lost a little of the seriousness and has progressively grown more slapstick. Since that time the Michael Scott-driven show has made Steve Carell a comedic star and boosted Rainn Wilson (Dwight) and John Krasinski (Jim) into starring roles in their own movies. With the show nearing its 100th episode, fans, let us hope that the writers are able to keep things fresh for just long enough to nd the right place to say goodbye.

of booze. Having a penchant for bourbon, however, the choice was fairly clear for me. I wasnt alone in my choice. Hundreds of people surrounded me with no unifying trait, aside from following the sirens wail of clanking whiskey bottles. There were pirates, hipsters and Derby Demons marking off each of the 50 whiskeys as they took their taste. The mix of folks is no surprise: 9.4 percent of adults are heavy drinkers (averaging two drinks a day for males and one drink a day for females) in Washoe
County, according to the Washoe County Health District. Compare that with 7.1 percent for the state and 5.2 percent for the U.S. But, heavy drinking denitions aside, the whiskey tasting, like the other booze-related events, wasnt so much centered on getting shit-hammered. It was about getting out into the town, helping the community and then falling into the embrace of vice somewhere other than your living room or local bar.

Americas favorite tortureporn franchise is back. With Halloween on the horizon, its only natural for the money-hungry Hollywood producers to offer us yet another installment from the Saw series. Was there any point in continuing the madness? Believe it or not,
there was. Saw VI delivers extreme gore, mesmerizing twists and turns and those oh-so-clever contraptions. The movie forces viewers to look at the characters as they are dissected, both psychologically and physically. What makes this lm worth watching is that it
commits to something the others rarely achieved giving answers. Picking up where Saw V left off, Detective Hoffman (Costas Mandylor, Saw V), continues his mission of keeping Jigsaws (Tobin Bell, Saw V) brutal legacy in full motion. Meanwhile, another vicious game has begun for an executive at
Saw VI, which resurrects the story of Jigasaw with a slew of new characters and offers answers to many of the previous lms questions.

a health insurance company. Director Greutert throws in some political undertones by diving into todays health care issues, digging deeper into social commentary. Somewhere, Michael Moore is smiling. If this chapter proves anything, its that this franchise is not sinking. It boasts everything fans worship about the series and more. While not as satisfying as the very rst Saw lm, it still holds as a solid entry, complete with rst-class gore. A perfect example comes during a scene where the two competitors must ll up scales with their own esh. Watching the two try and outweigh each other proves both compelling and especially sadistic, making this Saw the rawest yet. Like other Saw lms, the duration of the movie is dominated by ashbacks and back story, providing each villain (past and present) with a solid amount of screen time. It succeeds in that it offers explanations, something Saw fans will value this time around. The last addition tended to confuse more than terrify, leaving viewers with questions and not wanting to wait another year for them.

ALBUM REVIEW
Fuck Buttons create harmony

By Casey Durkin
With a name as awesome and perplexing as Fuck Buttons, you can be sure that the bands music adheres to the same adjectives. The Fuck Buttons Tarot Sport is an insane orgy of electronic beats, sounds, distortion and just plain noise that somehow come together to birth an epically well-put-together album. If you have listened to their rst CD, Street Horrrsing, which debuted in 2008, you would know that this is a big step. The previous album enveloped the exact classication the band was given: noise and drone. Though it also came together to make some solid, comprehensible music, there were a lot more pointless sounds and elements to the songs. It made one wonder at times if the Fuck Buttons is just an elaborate joke on its listeners, or if the band actually has serious debilitating mental problems. Fuck Buttons denitely has matured. What was a gross exaggeration of experimental music now has so much rhyme and rhythm that the notorious Fuck Buttons repetition seems much more deliberate and thoughtful. There is now a pretty distinct electronic and dance feel to the album while keeping their ominous tone and long build ups, which denitely is a plus. This is a large help to fans with more traditional music tastes. The instruments are now clearer and more in sync than ever. Though the drum and bass in Street Horrrsing were earthshaking, in Tarot Sport they
Student passes professors horrifying work in lms

By Jay Brissenden
Oh, the B-grade horror movie genre It is the only genre in which lms are not made with the intent to acquire prots, but merely for the craft of showing clever and often gruesome human mutilation. Produced on pathetic budgets and rarely starring any recognizable cast members, these movies are made for two reasons: 1. Someone has an interest in lmmaking and some extra money to waste, so why the hell not? And 2. There is a dark urge to see those willing to act in the movie violated in ways only seen in Rob Zombies nightmares. While no sane critic can call a B-rate horror ick a good movie, its not hard to say that they are insanely entertaining in their own sick and twisted way. And when this critic realized that his core humanities professor was the former lead actor in a few B-rate horror lms in the late 70s and early 80s, I knew I had possibly stumbled upon one of the greatest discoveries of my college career. I mean, honestly, how many students can say they saw their professor tear the intestines out of the cute girl he just brutally murdered? It was three decades ago when aspiring director Nathan Schiff decided to make his rst movie, titled Weasels Rip My Flesh (1979), starring his good friend and my humble now-CH teacher John Smihula. Even though little to no prot was to be found in the weasel esh-ripping business, the duo decided to make another three lms, Long Island Cannibal Massacre (1980), They Dont Cut the Grass Anymore (1985) and Vermillion Eyes (1991). After viewing all the lms mentioned above except Vermillion Eyes, which is currently not available to rent or own on any video format, I honestly no longer view Mr. Smihula as the innocent CH teacher next door. So without further ado, I present you with my short, but not so sweet reviews of my CH professors curious former career in cinema.

Plot: When a NASA shuttle makes a crash landing in the ocean near Long Island, New York, radioactive material aboard the craft spills onto the surrounding area. When a harmless weasel is accidentally exposed to the material, it is transformed into a homicidal mutant. But when a mad scientist captures the beast, he tries to duplicate the monsters DNA in order to create an army of mutant weasels to take over the world. The lowdown: Its painfully obvious this is Schiffs rst attempt at lmmaking. Almost nothing seems to make sense, due to random editing and an overly intricate plot crammed into a 60-minute feature.

This year, toss the digital camera and say goodbye to your still, 2D Halloween photos. Its time to serve your costume justice and put it in action. Shoot your very own low-budget horror lm with tips on how to realistically gush blood, crack skulls and turn anything into a prop.
PLOT/ACTING TIPS
Anyone can write or act in a horror lm. It doesnt have to be Hollywood-ready, but it should be entertaining and make people want to keep watching. There are a few tips, however, that can enhance anyones performance. Its always best to play whats most realistic, Lynn Lombardi, a theater major, said. If youre not able to make yourself cry, then act like you are trying to hold back tears. Its more real that way. Or if you cut the scene, you can put glycerin or menthol drops in your eyes. Then you only have to play the action. The most important part of acting, however, is to stay in character and feel the emotions both inside and out, theater lecturer and director Sue Klemp said. You need to live like the characters are, in the moment and the present tense, Klemp said. The actor knows the ending, but the character doesnt. So you need to make sure you are portraying that character in the moment only. This can be done through emotional recall, the ability to remember an event that brought you the same emotion in real life and relive it, Seth Love, who will play Tybalt in The Nevada Repertory Companys Romeo and Juliet, said. When trying to evoke an emotion such as fear, the actor should think of a situation that frightened him and let that emotion consume him on stage. People can really just jump right into acting, Patrick Laffoon, president of Alpha Xi Omega, an acting fraternity, said. We are just being other people. And since we are all human, we can do it. We are just playing pretend.

Professor remembers his starring roles in 80s cult classics

By Tara Verderosa
Described by his students as an everyday guy with a lot of charisma, few would guess that core humanities professor John Smihula spent the 80s wielding guns, knives and Samurai swords. Smihula stabbed, shot and massacred unsuspecting victims all on tape, for the world to see in his soon-to-become cult classic, low-budget horror lms. Although his lms were never released in theaters, they can now be purchased on Amazon.com and are also available to rent through Netix. Among the lms later released on DVD in 2005 were Weasels Rip My Flesh (1979), The Long Island Cannibal Massacre (1982) and They Dont Cut The Grass Anymore (1985). In each lm, Smihula plays multiple roles, usually including the main murderers and victims. It was a great experience for a man like myself to kill people and not get in trouble
Nobody was a trained actor, John Smihula, a core humanities professor, said. They were our brothers, and our brothers girlfriends and their girlfriends friends.
for any of it, Smihula said jokingly. The CH professors interest in shooting horror lms began during his senior year of high school. After throwing out his arm and being unable to pitch for his baseball team, Smihula turned his interest to the arts and began lming movies with his friends Nate and Fred. Their rst lm, Weasels Rip My Flesh, featured Smihula as Inspector Cameron, who works to stop a mutant weasel that is murdering the town. Finished in 1980, Smihulas Long Island high school was the rst to show Weasels Rip My Flesh. Played in the auditorium, it attracted nearly 2,000 students, Smihula said. Put together by three friends with the

Wolf Pack quarterback scores six touchdowns in rout of Vandals
By Juan Lpez
In the third quarter of Nevadas game against Idaho, Wolf Pack quarterback Colin Kaepernick took a snap from center with his heels on his own goal line. On the third-and-10 play, Kaepernick shufed to his right while in his own end zone, sidestepped an Idaho defender and ran right for about six yards before coming to a jumpstop. The 6-foot-6, 220-pound junior then cut back across to the left side of the eld, stiff-arming and evading a few more Vandal defenders on his way to a 13-yard gain and a rst down. Thats just Kaep in a nutshell, said running back Luke Lippincott, Kaepernicks teammate. He can escape anyone at anytime, so we always know even though we dont see him escape, hold your blocks as long as you can because he might make it out. He does some ridiculous stuff. Later on that drive, Kaepernick ran left, juked a defender and sprinted 61 yards for a touchdown. Those were just 74 of the 230 rushing yards he accumulated on just 15 carries in Nevadas 70-45 win.

Fall season sees Packs best only once
Senior Margaret Doolittle, one of the top swimmers in Nevada history, said she doesnt plan on pursuing competitive swimming after this season.

Doolittle doesnt plan on swimming after this season

By Juan Lpez
Margaret Doolittle was named the Western Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year in 2007. In 2008, she was proclaimed the WAC Swimmer of the Year. After this season, she plans to give up her athletic career to focus solely on her education. Doolittle plans to attend graduate school after receiving her undergraduate degree in May 2011. The senior from Sacramento, Calif., said her decision to drop competitive swimming wasnt too difcult when she considered the circumstances. Swimming is a pretty difcult sport for people to continue after college, said Doolittle who wants to get a masters degree in education and Masters of Business Administration. The only way to go further is if youre one of the top swimmers in the world and if youre getting swimming sponsored by companies like Speedo or Nike. Im not at that level athletically to go on. Doolittle, who holds multiple Wolf Pack breaststroke records, is one of the main reasons why Nevada won the last three WAC Championships. And despite posting Olympic Trials cut times in the breaststroke during her rst three years at Nevada, Doolittle said trying out for the Olympic team was likely not in her future.

With Nevadas top three scorers from last season all gone, the womens team will be looking to Johnna Ward to help pick up the slack. The junior guard is Nevadas top returning scorer from last season, averaging 7.9 points per game. Largely overshadowed last season by Dellena Criner, Ward will get an opportunity to have an expanded role in the offense and help the team move forward. The junior guard from Reno, Armon Johnson will look to continue his strong play from last season. He started 33 games at point guard for the Wolf Pack and was second on the team in scoring with 15.5 points per game and also averaged 4.3 assists per game. Johnson will be the one setting up the offense and Nevada will need another solid season from the guard in order to win the WAC and get back to the NCAA Tournament.
JOHNNA WARD
VOLLEYBALL
The volleyball team has the hardest road to a conference title. Any path will likely have to go through nationally ranked Hawaii, which swept the Wolf Pack in the teams rst meeting. Hawaii is the clear favorite and Nevada needs to have the match of its season to beat them. However, the Wolf Pack must rst x some problems. Nevadas struggled this season and with a conference record of 3-6, the team will have to defeat Idaho and New Mexico State before even thinking about Hawaii. The Wolf Pack will depend heavily on juniors Kylie Harrington and Nicole Link to lead. Harrington is averaging 3.30 kills per set and Link leads the team with 4.05 digs per set. Although they have played well, Nevada needs the rest of the team to step up. Harrington is the only player on the roster averaging over three kills per set, meaning she is Nevadas only offensive threat. However, the teams Achilles heel is its inconsistency. In a span of a little over a week, Nevada defeated Boise State 3-1 and then lost to it 3-0. The Wolf Pack cannot afford this kind of sporadic play. The team must be at its best, or its trip to the tournament will be a short one.

SOCCER
Last season, Nevada made a surprise run to the seminals round of the WAC Tournament. This season, the Wolf Pack wont catch anyone by surprise as the team has made huge improvements. The team battled injuries all season long and appears to be healthier than it was at any point throughout the season. Goalkeeper Marie Cove provides Nevada with veteran leadership as one of the best goalies in the conference and the emergence of Natalie Ratnavira gives the Wolf Pack a second scoring option along with Jill Erickson. In order to compete, however, Nevada must start its matches better. Many times, the Wolf Pack gave up early goals and was forced to play from behind. Nevada has out-shot its opponents numerous times only to nd itself facing decits early in the match. This will not work in the WAC Tournament. Nevadas ability to take the early lead will determine how far this team will go. The Wolf Pack plays well with the lead, but if it is forced to play from behind, the team will have to press and force shots. The Wolf Pack knows it has the

Junior Nevada student doubles as hockey star

By Chris Muller
On the surface, junior Bryan Goldstein appears to be an average University of Nevada, Reno student. The journalism major from Las Vegas keeps himself busy, taking 18 credit hours. But away from the classroom, every Sunday, Goldstein makes a three-hour, 124-mile roundtrip commute to the South Lake Tahoe Ice Arena in South Lake Tahoe, Calif., to play adult league ice hockey. (Hockey) is my love, my passion, Goldstein, who plays for the Hot Shots said. I would much rather commute an hour and a half and play hockey than go to a party. Thats always been my personality type. The Hot Shots are a Renobased team that used to play at the Spice Island Sports Complex in Sparks before the rink was closed in 2005. The closure left the Hot Shots without a home rink. The Hot Shots are not your ordinary team and Goldstein, 20, is not your everyday player. Over the summer, the Hot Shots went 9-1 and won the league championship for the C division. Goldstein, who plays center, led the entire league in points and goals and tied for the league in assists. I made (the scoring championship) a thing, he said. I had to go for that. In 10 games, Goldstein notched 23 goals and eight assists. So far this fall season,

Goldstein has six goals and ve assists for the 4-2 Hot Shots. Goldstein, the youngest player on the Hot Shots, is considered a late bloomer. Unfortunately, I didnt learn how to skate until I was 13, which is kind of late, he said. Most hockey players begin skating around age ve or six and have developed their puck handling skills and hockey sense well before their teenage years. Though Goldstein is a diehard Los Angeles Kings fan, he models his game after NHL superstar center Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins. But Goldstein considers his mother, Judy, his biggest role model in life. Judy remembered some times when she drove Bryan to games before the sun rose. Some of the championship games for Bryans travel team were as early as 6 a.m., Judy said. She added that Bryan is one who never likes to be late. He always wants to be two hours early to the rink to get in game mode, she said. While hes used to skating through defenders on the ice, Goldsteins college life isnt so uid. He said that taking Ryan Brocks Education 201 class this semester has gotten him thinking about becoming a teacher and changing his major. In the back of my mind Ive always wanted to teach, Goldstein said. Judy is supportive of her sons decision to continue his hockey career while plugging away at his large amount of class work. Whether Goldstein stays in journalism or transfers to education, she said she will support him to the end. He needs to do what makes him happy, she said. Thats what college is for.

The Nevada mens soccer club has worked hard all season and it has paid off. The club got its rst win of the year Friday against the University of California, Santa Cruz. This is our rst win in club history so it meant everything, and its a step forward for the team. Its something to build on, Stephen Chavez, one of the teams members, said after the 3-2 victory. Nevada hosted Santa Cruz at the John Sala Intramural Fields for its last game of the fall season. Nevada went down 1-0 to Santa Cruz in the rst half until scoring on a penalty kick with six minutes left in the half.

SILVER SQUAD WINS, TIES GAMES WITH BLUE
UNR student wins bike title

By Kara LaPoint
Jon Wilson already had one collegiate cycling title under his belt from 2000, but last weekend he wanted another and he got it. Wilson, who returned to the University of Nevada, Reno to earn a second major in elementary education, was the UNR bike teams lone champion. He was one of just two athletes at the event who earned top-three nishes at the USA Cycling Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championships held at the Northstar Resort Oct.16-18. Wilson won the mens 4X event and took second in the downhill. Teammate Lizzy English, in her rst year of bike racing, placed second in the womens cross country race. UNR co-hosted the event with University of California, Berkeley. Eddie McDonald, president of the UNR bike club and primary coordinator for the championship, said planning the event was a big undertaking. The whole process took about a year, he said. Things were not totally nalized until the week before the event. McDonald, a senior English major, rst pitched the idea of hosting the championships to a friend from UC Berkeley, Rob Dahl. Once the bid was accepted, McDonald and Dahl wrote formal proposals, mapped out courses and planned backup courses in Reno in case of snow. McDonald said the preparation paid off. It was a huge turnout, he said. There were probably over 350 riders out there from all over. Wilson, the man who conquered the course in the fastest time, said the event he won, the 4X, is like a skier cross, where four riders go out at the same time and the last two from each round are eliminated. After recording the fastest qualifying time, Wilson said he barely squeaked by in his rst two elimination rounds, but by the end it was clear sailing. Wilson also took second place in the downhill event, his specialty. He was beaten only by University of Colorado, Boulders Joey Schuster, whom he said has competed in a full world cup season. I wanted to win, especially with home-court advantage, Wilson said. But I cant really complain about getting second to (Schuster). Wilson said most of the top collegiate riders are also racing professionally, himself included. He rides a full professional season for Northstar and Giant bikes. For English, who is also a world-class kayaker, bike racing is a new sport and a second love. But she has rapidly accelerated through the ranks, to no surprise of her teammates. Shes obviously an amazing athlete, McDonald said. She just destroyed those races. English said Wilson encouraged her to join the team. I am always alone for kayaking, she said. It is so nice to have an awesome group of people to travel and train with now. Though English graduates in December, Wilson will be back competing with the team next semester. English said she will continue to pursue biking, which she hopes to make a professional career this year. Wilson, whose ultimate goal is to race world cup, said he will bike long after his collegiate career ends. Ill be riding the rest of my life, he said.

Ground game too much

By Lukas Eggen
Despite facing a defense that allowed only 95.6 rushing yards per game coming in, Nevada had its way against the Vandals. The Wolf Pack rushed for 484 yards, including 230 yards by quarterback Colin Kaepernick and 146 yards by running back Vai Taua. We never expect to reach 400 to 500 rushing yards, head coach Chris Ault said. Its above and beyond. The performance raised Nevadas average to 320.1 rushing yards per game, which ranks rst in the nation. Players know that this year, something has changed for the offense. The difference is we have a lot more weapons Luke (Lippincott), Kaep, me, Taua said. And the line is amazing. The game marked the fourthstraight game that Nevada rushed for at least 300 yards. Our goal was 300 yards rushing, Taua said. For some reason we might have to raise that bar because we have been going over it lately. quarter alone and held Idaho to 62 total yards and no points. However, Nevada gave up 432 yards and 45 points the rest of the game, a breakdown that is unacceptable to players. Going out there and (allowing) one big play, thats all right, senior linebacker Mike Bethea said after the game. Thats going to happen in a game. But when you come back out and the second one happens and then the third one happens (its frustrating). Guys start getting comfortable with shutting them out in the rst quarter, but theres four quarters. You got to play all four, not just one. The Wolf Pack used cornerbacks Doyle Miller and Khalid Wooten for the majority of the second half. In the second half, Enderle passed for 175 yards and two more touchdowns before being taken out of the game in the fourth quarter.
TIDBITS
Nevada place kicker Ricky Drake recorded 10 extra points during the game. The mark set a new school record, breaking the old mark of nine, which was recorded on three separate occasions. Nevada has won four games in a row, its longest winning streak since the 2006-07 season, when it won ve straight. Nevada defensive end Kevin Basped left the game against Idaho with an apparent knee injury. Basped was not at Mondays practice, but was said to be a probable player for the Wolf Packs game Saturday against Hawaii. Nevada running back Mike Ball, who had back problems during the Idaho game, said he was a full go for this week and should be ready to play against Hawaii.

CORNERBACKS REPLACED
Although Nevada won the game, the Wolf Packs starting cornerbacks had a rough day. Idaho quarterback Nathan Enderle threw for two 73-yard touchdowns to wide receiver Maurice Shaw in the second quarter against Nevadas starting cornerbacks Isaiah Frey and Antoine Thompson. Enderle, who threw for 342 yards in the game, had 167 yards at halftime. The move prompted Nevada to replace the cornerbacks in the second half in an attempt to slow down the passing game.

For his outstanding performance, Kaepernick was named the Western Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week and the College Football Performance Awards National Performer of the Week. While the awards mean little to Kaepernick individually, hes fast to credit his teammates. Its a great honor, but I couldnt do it without my team, he said at Mondays practice. Lippincott wasnt as modest when describing Kaepernick. When hes out here just running around, doing what he does, hes unstoppable, Lippincott, a senior, said. Hes
just totally comfortable out there. He knows hes faster than people and he knows he can score anytime he wants. Kaepernicks recent performances have come on the heels of a poor start to the season. In the Wolf Packs rst three games (all losses), Kaepernick threw just two touchdowns and four interceptions while averaging just 4.7 yards per carry. In the last four games (all wins), hes thrown for nine touchdowns, just one interception and is averaging 10 yards per carry. Kaep is just playing within himself, Lippincott said. In the beginning of the season, he caught himself trying to do too much. He just kind of relaxed and now, like I say, hes playing PE football.
Kaepernicks favorite target, wide receiver Brandon Wimberly, said his quarterbacks improvement has been a result of his feel for the offense. He knows the offense, its just a comfort level you have to have with it, said Wimberly who leads the team in receptions (32), yards (495) and touchdowns (four). Receivers, running backs, linemen: Were on the same page all the time now. This week, Kaepernick and Nevada will take on one of the worst defenses in the WAC: Hawaii. The Warriors allow 199.4 rush yards per game (eighth in the WAC) and have given up a conference-worst 18 rushing touchdowns.

Wolf Pack drops two matches on the road

Facing the same two teams
it played last week, Nevadas volleyball team played at Idaho and Boise State, losing both matches 3-0. The losses dropped Nevadas record to 7-15 overall and 3-7
in the conference. The losses also marked the second and third straight matches in which Nevada has not won a set. Against Idaho, the Wolf Pack was led by outside hitter Kylie
Harrington, who recorded a team-high 15 kills. Nevada, however, struggled as a team, recording a hitting percentage of zero for the match and never seriously threatening the Vandals. Nevada never led in sets one or two as Idaho built a 7-1 lead in each set. In the third set, Nevada and Idaho were tied at 7-7 before a 5-0 run by the Vandals put them in front for good at 12-7. On Saturday, Nevada faced Boise State, whom the Wolf Pack defeated 3-1 last week. After the Broncos cruised to a 25-13 victory in the rst set, Nevada played Boise State close, losing the nal two sets by a total of four points. Despite a combined 34 assists from setters Tatiana Santiago and Sonnie Sei, the Wolf Pack had only one player (Harrington) who recorded 10 or more kills for the match. Nevada returns home this weekend to play San Jose State on Thursday and Hawaii on Saturday.
SOCCER
Nevada gets rst win in Hawaii

Natalie Ratnavira and Annabelle Allen each scored one goal for the Wolf Pack and Nevada defeated Hawaii 2-1 on Friday to pick up the teams

Allens shot went in after ricocheting off a defender into the goal. Ratnavira scored the game winner in the 30th minute, when she hit a low shot past Hawaii goalkeeper Kanani Taaca. The goal was Ratnaviras fourth goal of the season. Nevada recorded six shots on goal in the match, while Hawaii had nine. Cove recorded eight saves during the game, increasing her season total to a team-high 63. The win improved Nevadas record to 6-11 overall and 3-3 in the conference.

DOOLITTLES PLANS
Aft After h her expected t d gradud ation date of May 2011, Margaret Doolittle plans on attending graduate school and getting her masters degree in education and Masters of Business Administration. Doolittle also said she might continue swimming in Masters swimming. Masters swimming is described as adult swimming for health, tness and recreation.
Doolittle
Its a really big step, she said about the possibility of going to the Olympics. That next step is huge and theres not a whole lot of opportunity. Especially with school, its hard to keep up with training. As far as right now, Id say this is my last season. Saying goodbye is going to be hard for Doolittle, but her time with the Wolf Pack will not just be measured by the marks she has set in the water. Margaret has been a very special person because not only has she improved as a person and grown as a person (in her time here), but shes given back so much, Richmond said. Shes such a charismatic and real loving person for her teammates. Thats been irreplaceable. Shes a special athlete. Ones like her dont come around too often. Shes even more special to her teammates. Junior Marichi Gandionco said Doolittle has greatly impacted her attitude over the years shes known her. Since her freshman year, shes been winning her races while still being a great student, Gandionco said. Out of everyone on the team, she has the greatest balance of school and swimming. She just inspires me to do better. Some of the incoming swimmers, theyre all inspired by her. She acts like she doesnt know, but she knows. When asked about herself, Doolittle defers to talking about the team. And while being softspoken most of the time, at her teams swim meets, Doolittle is the loudest in leading the cheers to motivate teammates. Shes a great role model for all of us, Gandionco said. I
Swimming is a pretty difcult sport for people to continue after college. The only way to go further is if youre one of the top swimmers in the world and if youre getting sponsored by companies like Speedo or Nike. Senior Nevada swimmer Margaret Doolittle on the prospects of swimming after college
cant think of anything she cant do. The 21-year-old supply chain management major said life without the water will be uncomfortable at rst. Itll be weird, she said. Ive been swimming for 16 years. Itll be a big life change. I wont know what to do with my time.
The Nevada swimming & diving teams only home meet of the fall semester is 2 p.m. Friday against Fresno State. The Wolf Packs next home meet will not be until Jan. 30, when it will take on Seattle University.
Home meet
dual meet than any other so far this season. We dont get a lot of opportunities to be able to compete here at home, so anytime we do its very special, he said. Just like every other sports team, we always want to protect our house. Sophomore diver Aniesa Debaji, who was named the WAC Diver of the Week last week, said the team was ready not to hit the road for a change. Were really excited for this meet, she said. No traveling,
Every time I go to the blocks, I just think about every senior we have and that just pumps me up to go faster. Junior swimmer Marichi Gandionco
we get to stay here for the weekend, see our own surroundings, compete in front of our crowd. Its good on all ends. that after a three-peat, No. 4 will not go unnoticed. If we can do it, it would be amazing, but its going to be especially hard this year, Doolittle said. We have a big target on our backs and it gets harder every single year. Richmond, who has won a WAC title in both of his two years as head coach, said winning four in a row has denitely entered the minds of his athletes, but he wants it downplayed. I dont want to give you coach speak, but we just take it one day at a time, he said. Its not like we go into it every year with the goal of winning WAC, but we want to do that for our seniors every single year. Especially with this senior class, theyve been such an integral part of the program for three years and nothing would be better for us.
SWIMMING FOR THE PACK SENIORS

The match will be the secondto-last home meet (Nevada has a home meet Jan. 30) in the careers of the Wolf Pack seniors, who are the most successful class in program history. All but one of the six-member class of seniors this year has won the Western Athletic Conference title each year since they came to Nevada in 2006. For us seniors, were only going to be home a couple times this year, senior swimmer Margaret Doolittle said. Were going to try to make it as special as we can. Itll be tough with us only having a couple home meets, but well get through it. Gandionco said she was super attached to the seniors and used them as motivation to swim harder. Every time I go to the blocks, I just think about every senior we have and that just pumps me up to go faster, she said.
EXPECTING A WAC CHAMP

After winning three consecutive WAC Championships, the Wolf Pack expects nothing less than another banner hanging at the Lombardi Pool. But the teams members know
Lets go O!
OUTSTANDING OFFENSE
Th The N Nevada d offense ff has scored 205 points and rushed for 1,701 yards in its last four games. The Wolf Pack is averaging 51 points and 425 rushing yards in its last four games. Nevada averages 35.14 points per game, 10th in the nation.
The players were on full blast as soon as the opening kickoff took ight and they kept that intensity long after the game got out of hand. But the thing is, I wasnt surprised. Since fall camp, weve been hearing so much about how this offense should be one of the top in the nation, how the weapons here are almost unparalleled and how Nevada quarterback Colin Kaepernick should play more like a computer-generated robot than a human. Well, all thats coming to fruition. In the last four games (all wins), the Wolf Pack has scored 205 points and rushed for 1,701 yards. That averages out to 51.3 points per game and 425.3 yards on the ground per game. I cant even put up those types of stats in a Madden game. As for the weapons, theyre starting to solidify themselves. Taua has proven he is not a one-year wonder. This year, hes racking up 101.5 rushing yards per game (23rd in the nation) and has shown glimpses of surprising speed. On his rst carry of the game against Idaho, he busted up the middle, broke free into the secondary and scored on an 89-yard touchdown. If you watched that play, youd be lying if you said you thought he wasnt going to get caught. But hes faster than we give him credit for. The other weapons are some familiar faces and some new ones. Running back Luke Lippincott is back to his old self again and has become a solid receiver. Wide receiver Brandon Wimberly looks like hes going to evolve into a star someday. So far, the redshirt freshman has 495 receiving yards (fourth in the Western Athletic Conference) and four receiving touchdowns. And Virgil Green has come out of the woodwork to become one of the top tight ends in the WAC. Green has had a touchdown catch in four straight games. And then theres Kaep. Although pretty much everything has been said about this guy, its

still not enough. Take a look at the immediate turnaround he made this season: In his rst three games, he was 54-of-98 passing for 546 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions. His rushing was dismal. Just 150 yards on 32 carries. In the last four games, Kaepernick is 53-for-84 passing for 741 yards, nine touchdowns and just one pick. And the rushing? Hows 57 carries for 569 and six touchdowns sound? His turnaround has been unbelievable. And to think earlier this season I questioned if Kaep still had it. Forgive me, God, for I have sinned. The entire offense is playing out of its mind right now. Honestly, the Wolf Pack defense played like crap against Idaho and Nevada still won by 25. Im going to stop hoping for the defense to turn it around and keep looking for the offense to put up 70. At the end of the day, a wins a win. If the Wolf Pack wins 70-69, so be it. Im not going to fault this team for not being a complete squad. Obviously, one unit is on a completely different planet than the other, but as long as the notches in the win column keep accumulating, there should be no problem.

Pack looks to keep rolling vs. Warriors

After 3-0 WAC start, Nevada will battle lowly Hawaii
If this game were two years ago, it would be one of the marquee games in the nation. The Wolf Pack comes into Saturdays game against Hawaii undefeated in the Western Athletic Conference (3-0) and ring on all offensive cylinders. Hawaii, on the other hand, is two years removed from a trip to the Sugar Bowl and has fallen off of the face of the earth this season. The Warriors have been anything ing but the ghting type this year, coming in with a 2-5 record, 0-4 in the he WAC and being outscored by an average of 40-14 in their four losses this his year. I wouldnt be surprised to see Nevada favored by y 21 points when game time me comes, but Nevada has to play this game as if it were Boise State lining up against them.

TAKING THE NEXT STEP EP

The Wolf Pack has done enough to prove it is the second-best team in n the WAC. In its last four games, Nevada has as rushed for 1,701 yards and scored 205 05 points. Lets put that in perspective: tive: So far in the football season, on, 69 teams have not scored 205 points and 109 teams have not rushed for 1,701 yards. . The Wolf Pack has done more in the last four games ames than most teams do all season. ason. The offense has been nothing less than spectacular. Nevada cannot lose Saturdays urdays game. The offense has to keep rolling ng and pound d Hawaii into the ground early. The Wolf Pack has a bad tendency te end ndency of losing to shoddy teams. Last year it was N New State. ew Mexico Stat te. e That cannot happen this s weekend. This is Nevadas chance to show it is truly a solid football team. Good football teams win supposed n games they are suppose ed to win and they win them by a lot. Prove yourself worthy, Wolf Pack Pack. k.

HAWAII HAS A CHANCE CE IF

There arent many ways I can end this sentence, save the entire Wolf Pack football ball team comes come m s down with swine u or the Warriors playing s have been pl laying possum the entire season in preparation ration for this game. Throw those two out the he window and Hawaii only has a realistic shot if its passing offense continues to be stellar. The Warriors average 348.9 48.9 passing yards per game, third-best in the country. But those numbers are a bit misleading. Hawaii lost star quarterback Greg Alexander exander for the rest of the season on Sept. 30 to a left knee nee injury. Prior to the incident, Alexander averaged 358 passing assing yards per game. Since Alexanders departure, ture, the Warriors have averaged 288 passing yards per game. me. There is no doubt he is greatly missed, but if Hawaii can pass well on the Wolf Pack k (who cant?), it should be able to keep this game respectable able and maybe even close down the stretch.

Radio: ESPN Radio 630 TV: None Meet the coaches: Head
coach Greg McMackin is 9-11 in his second year at Hawaii. Nevada head coach Chris Ault is in his 25th season as Nevadas coach and has a 202-94-1 record.
BATTLE OF THE CHRISES ES

For those not familiar with Chris Tormey, he served as Nevadas head coach from m 2000-03. During his woeful tenure with the Wolf Pack, he rolled up a 16-31 record. At this time, current Nevada vada football head coach Chris Ault also served as the schools athletic director. Ault rightly red Tormey y after the 03 season and hired himself as head coach. The two will meet again on Saturday. Hawaii hired Tormey as s its special teams coach this past offseason. This story line will almost have nothing to do with the outcome of the game ame but itll be fun to see if they interact. Another tidbit: The last Tormey t time To T rmey and the Nevada football team were on the same eld was Nov. 29, 2003 when the Wolf Pack lost 56-3 to Boise State.
KEY MATCHUP
Bryant Moniz vs. vs Nevadas secondary

Hawaii quarterback Bryan Moniz leads a passing offense that averages almost 350 yards per game. His ability to nd his receivers against one of the nations worst pass defenses will determine whether Hawaii is competitive or blown out.
HISTORY
Wolf Pack mascot Alphie
All-time series record: Hawaii leads 7-6 7-6. Last meeting: Hawaii won 38-31 (2008). Current streak: Hawaii won last three. Nevadas last win: 2005: 38-28 (Reno)
MAKING THE CALL
STAFF PICKS
OPTIMIST SAYS: Nevadas offense has developed into one of the most potent offenses in the nation. Hawaiis defense is 110th in the nation in rush defense and the Wolf Pack will have a field day. Vai Taua, Luke Lippincott and Colin Kaepernick will all approach the 100-yard rushing mark. Without quarterback Greg Alexander, Hawaiis offense wont be able to keep pace. OPTIMIST SAYS: Nevada wins 77-28. PESSIMIST SAYS: After proving itself as a team to watch against Idaho, Nevada is already thinking ahead. The Warriors have lost their last ve games and held an opponent to fewer than 30 points only once during that span. But, the Warriors are still capable of scoring, thanks to wide receiver Greg Salas. He will have a big day with Nevadas secondary and the Warriors shock the Wolf Pack and deal a major blow to Nevadas season. PESSIMIST SAYS: Hawaii wins 45-37.
DIFFERENCE MAKER
GREG SALAS
s players Wide receiver Greg Salas is one of the most dangerous k Greg in the nation. Despite an injury to starting quarterback eiving Alexander, Salas still ranks second in the nation in receiving yards per game with 125.9. Nevadas defense gave up more than 340 yards and four passing touchdowns against Idaho on e main Saturday and its no secret that the passing game is the 9 passfocus of Hawaiis offense. The Warriors average 348.9 d leave ing yards per game (third in the nation) and Salas could her team Nevadas already fragile secondary in shambles. Neither st factor boasts an impressive defense right now and the biggest will be which team limits the others playmakers.
