UNR professor on front line for trapped miners
By Don Weinland
As 33 Chilean miners are lifted
2,300 feet from a copper mine,
Emma Sepulveda will stand just
meters from the spot where they
breathe fresh air for the rst time
in two months. But the miners
wont see loved ones faces for
several more hours.
They have to come up with
their eyes covered because the
impact of the sun will be too
brutal, said Sepulveda, the
director of the University of
Nevada, Renos Latino Research
Center. They will be taken to
an on-site hospital where eye
covers will be removed and they
will reunite with family.
On miners rations and shan-
tytown beds, Sepulveda has
spent the last month gathering
information from a number
of people associated with the
effort to rescue the 33 miners
trapped by a collapse on Aug.
5. In what started as research
for a book on the miners wives,
Sepulveda, a Chilean citizen,
said the project immediately
expanded to include a much
wider perspective.
When I started interview-
ing (the wives), I realized the
story would have to be bigger,
she said. I began talking with
doctors on the scene, with psy-
chologists and miners who had
worked in the mine.
Aside from her work on the
book, Sepulveda said she has
become an impromptu journal-
ist and an intermediary for a
number of world media outlets.
She has spoken on Spanish
radio in Reno and Argentina and
has been interviewed by media
outlets from France, Belgium,
England and Australia.
Sepulvedas stay at the mining
site has required a high degree
of discipline, she said.
I have to be in the middle of
the desert with a huge sun heat-
ing us up, she said. Its freezing
at night. I eat what theyre giving
people for free here. I carry my
own water.
As reporters from around the
world have swarmed the spot to
cover the nal rescue, Sepulveda
said the atmosphere around the
mine has changed.
A month ago there werent
many reporters here, she said.

Candidates for public ofce
will discuss the future of the
Millennium Scholarship, state
budget cuts and the possibility
of differential tuition Wednes-
day in room 2003 of the Wil-
liam J. Raggio Building at the
University of Nevada, Reno.
The Associated Students of
the University of Nevada will
present questions to Jason
Geddes and Chuck Walker,
candidates for the Nevada
System of Higher Educations
Board of Regents district
surrounding UNR, and Kate
Marshall, a candidate for state
treasurer.
The forum is meant to
educate students about the
candidates roles in higher
education, as well as their
positions on scal issues
that will face higher educa-
tion in the coming years,
said Michael Stannard, the
assistant director of projects
for ASUNs department of
legislative affairs.
If you walked up to 10
random students at UNR,
I would be very surprised
if more than two could re-
ally name any of the Board of
Regents, or exactly what they
do, he said.
The Board of Regents will
make important decisions
about how to allocate money
to Nevada colleges and uni-
versities following the Nevada
State Legislature meeting in
February, Walker said.
I believe were at a cross-
roads in Nevada with funding
where we need to step out and
make some big changes, he
said.
Geddes, the incumbent
candidate for District 11,
said these changes could
include implementation of
differential tuition, or in-
creased tuition fees for more
expensive programs, program
closures and possibly closure
of some community college
campuses.
Walker said a lot of money
could be saved by cutting over-
head costs and consolidating
research programs, computer
systems and degree programs
that unnecessarily duplicate
services.
Marshall, the incumbent
treasurer candidate, said

Higher enrollment may lead to expanded facility sharing
By Don Weinland
The Nevada System of Higher
Education is discussing the ex-
panded use of Washoe County
School District facilities to cover
an increasing number of stu-
dents on a diminishing budget.
Daniel Klaich, chancellor of
the NSHE Board of Regents,
said facility sharing between
Nevadas higher education insti-
tutes and local school districts
has been carried out for years.
The bid to put more afternoon
and evening college classes in
Washoe County schools is part
of NSHEs attempt to do more
with less, he said.
The problem is increasing
enrollment throughout the sys-
tem, and a state with little or no
ability to build new facilities,
Klaich said. We need to look at
what weve got.
Expanded facility sharing
would not only save on higher
education expenditure, but
would assist the scally austere
school districts in Washoe and
Clark counties, Klaich said.
It would mean helping
(school districts) with the cost
of maintaining facilities, as
opposed to adding new capital
structure, he said.
Discussion is already under-
way with career training acad-
emies in Clark County, Klaich
said. The academies, which

VOLUME CXVII NUMBER 8
By Don Weinland
The University of Nevada, Reno
will partner with the Washoe
County Health District on Oct.
16 to distribute 2,500 u vaccines
within a four-hour period.
The mass immunization,
which will be held from 9 a.m.
to noon at UNRs West Stadium
Parking Complex, will double
as an emergency preparedness
drill, Phillip Ulibarri, the health
districts public information
ofcer, said. While vaccinating
Reno residents against seasonal
u and the H1N1 virus, the drill
will ready health ofcials for
smallpox and anthrax outbreaks,
he said.
This years drill will differ from
past mass immunizations in
Washoe County. Participants are
asked to arrive and remain in
their cars for the duration of the
drill, Ulibarri said.
Volunteers from the Orvis
School of Nursing and health
district staff will administer the
vaccinations via car window.
We dont want people con-
gregating in lines, Ulibarri said.
We want to see how well we can
coordinate people in their cars.
Health district immunization
events in the past have always
featured a walkthrough option,
Ulibarri said.
This years in-car immuniza-
tion is preparation for outbreaks
of communicable diseases best
contained to the interior of a
vehicle, Ulibarri said. The cover
of the parking garage would
provide a safe, dry environment
in the event of a natural disaster,
he said. Upon registration for the
vaccination, wristbands were
distributed Oct. 4 to 9 and must
be presented on Oct. 16.
Heidi Hurst, director of the
Northern Nevada Immunization
Coalition, said the drill will give
local ofcials an approximation
of how long immunizing the en-
tire Reno community could take.
Its denitely preparing us for
if there was a mass exposure to
an infectious disease, she said.
By doing this, we will be able to
predict how many people we can
serve in a 24-or 48-hour period
of time.
Emergency preparedness aside,
Hurst said the mass vaccinations
are an important way to protect
families from the H1N1 virus
and seasonal u.
UNRs Orvis School of Nursing
will contribute 16 senior nursing
students to the effort, said Kathy
Butler, assistant professor and
coordinator of community and
mental health at UNR.
The student volunteers will
operate service stations and
administer vaccinations with
nursing school faculty supervi-
sion.
The schools participation is
an integral element of the nearly
200 volunteers and staff taking
part in the event, Butler said.
Without the nursing schools
expertise, volunteer vaccination
providers would fall short, she
said.
As of Monday, all 2,500 wrist-
bands for the vaccination had
been distributed. Wristbands
will be distributed upon regis-
tration, a health district ofcial
said.
The drill is paid for through
the Public Health Preparedness
Grant. The cost of the event will
be assessed after Oct. 16. The
grant is worth $744,415.

USAC on Europe travel alert
PHOTOCOURTESYOFUSAC/NEVADASAGEBRUSH
Students with the University Studies Abroad Consortium travel at Lake Avigliana in Italy. The recent
travel alert issued by the U.S. State Department reminds Americans in Europe to travel vigilantly.
By Don Weinland
Despite a heightened Euro-
pean travel alert issued by the
U.S. State Department Oct. 4,
the University Studies Abroad
Consortium said little has
changed for students abroad.
The alert, triggered by U.S.
and European intelligence
reports regarding possible
commando-style attacks by
al-Qaida in European cities,
suggests Americans living or
traveling in Europe remain vigi-
lant of possible security risks.
Carmelo Urza, director of USAC,
said, besides keeping their 490
students in Europe updated and
informed, there is little the stud-
ies abroad program can do.
Urza said the alert is vague
and similar to past warnings
issued by the United States.
Its one of those nebulous
warnings that we often see in
the United States, he said.
We tell our students to be
aware of their surroundings, to
stay away from embassies, to
stay away from consulates and
McDonalds.
USAC has programs in 13
European countries, including
Spain and England which suf-
fered terrorist attacks in 2004
and 2005, respectively.
The University of Nevada,
Reno has 62 students enrolled in
USAC programs in Europe this
semester.
Urza said the consortium
has contacted students via
in-country directors to ensure
awareness of the travel alert.
Emergency response informa-
tion, such as evacuation plans
and the locations and phone
numbers of hospitals and police
stations are distributed at the
beginning of each semester, he
said.
The studies abroad consor-
tium is no stranger to dealing
with emergency situations, Urza
said. The earthquake in Chile on
Feb. 27 required an immediate
account of the about 50 USAC
students studying in the coun-
try.
Kelly Corrigan, USACs
director of marketing and
recruiting, said in case of an
emergency, in-country direc-
tors locate all of the students
in their program.
This was the case when four
bombs exploded on a bus and
the subway system in London
on July, 7 2005, she said.
The first thing the resident
director did was locate all the
students to make sure they
were safe and sound, Cor-
rigan said. They werent near
the bombing, so it wasnt an
issue.
Joshua Irons, product man-
ager at studyabroad.com, said
few international academic pro-
grams have been substantially
affected by the warning. He said
the security problem in Europe
is relatively mild compared to
the insurgency in Mexico, which
has caused some programs to
withdrawal students from the
country.
Leonard Weinberg, a political
science professor at UNR, re-
cently attended a United States
European Command confer-
ence in Stuttgart, Germany on
security in Europe. He said the
fact the joint military command
held the multiday conference
signied the need for awareness
of potential threats.
But Weinberg said the U.S.
travel alert is considered by
some European countries as
excessive.
I didnt gather from Euro-
pean participants, or from the
U.S. types, that there was an
imminent threat to security on
the continent, he said. No
one was recommending that
Americans leave the scene.
Weinberg said the U.S. State
Department issued the alert
after multiple intelligence
sources reported the possibil-
ity al-Qaida attacks in Europe
resembling the Nov. 26, 2008,
attack in Mumbai, India. In the
Mumbai attack, terrorist from
Pakistan raided hotels through-
out the countrys largest city,
killing 173.

University of Nevada, Reno
students from Las Vegas can
return home for Thanksgiving
on a $30 round-trip bus ticket,
organized for the rst time by
Flipside Productions under the
name Home Sweet Home.
The bus leaves Nov. 24 and
returns Nov. 28, organizers said.
Fifty seats will be available as of
Oct. 13, but a second bus is on
hold for the event and may be
hired if the demand surpasses
the original 50 seats, organizers
said. Tickets are payable in the
form of check or money order
to the Board of Regents.
Christina Gunn, director
of programming for Flipside
Productions, said the events
purpose is to provide affordable
transportation for students to
go home for the holiday.
Hiring one bus will cost $3,500
to $4,000, Gunn said. The price
includes hiring the bus and
driver, as well as hosting the
driver in a hotel for the duration
of the stay in Las Vegas.
At $30 a ticket, the student
price will cover only $1,500.
The Associated Students of the
University of Nevada will com-
pensate the $2,000 to $2,500 of
addition expenses, Gunn said.
If a second bus is hired, the
organizers would most likely
get a better deal on the second
bus, Gunn said. An exact gure
on how much student money
would be used to cover the cost
of two buses will not be available
until a second bus is hired.
For the trip to break even,
Gunn said the tickets would
need to be priced at $80 to
$90, making it less accessible
to students. ASUN does not
typically try to make all of the
expenditure back for events
such as this, she said.
Laraine O Day Buchanan,
Flipside philanthropy chair,
said based on the amount of
e-mails Flipside has received
regarding the event, they expect
the rst bus to ll up, requiring
a second bus to be hired.
Freshman coming to cam-
pus for the rst time can get
homesick and want to go back,
Buchanan said. This is the rst
year weve ever done this, and
its just a fun trip where people
can meet other people from the
same area.
The event is focused toward
students from Las Vegas, Gunn
said, although students from
Reno and other cities are wel-
come to make the trip.
Geoff Green, Flipside late-
night and weekend program-
ming chair, is organizing a
Halloween geared toward
those who feel they cannot
take advantage of Home Sweet
Home, namely those who are
not from Las Vegas, Green said.
Unfortunately (with events),
you win some and you lose
some, Green said. Some
people will enjoy events and
others wont.
Mark Mendoza, Flipside
concerts chair, and Huili Wein-
stock, Flipside campus student
involvement chair, will attend
the event as student chaperones
to ensure students comply with
behavioral policies.

Latino Research Center to host Day of the Dead
By Riley Snyder
For those looking to celebrate
their Mexican heritage, or just
want some traditional Mexican
cuisine, the Latino Research
Center at the University of
Nevada, Reno will host a Dia
de los Muertos, or Day of the
Dead celebration Saturday in
the Mathewson-IGT Knowledge
Center.
In addition to free food, the
center will display a traditional
altar often seen in Central and
South America during the holi-
day, said 22-year old Latino Re-
search Center member Genesis
Navarrete.
Between 150-to-200 people
are expected to attend, said Iris
West, assistant to the director of
the Latino Research Center.
Many local Latino restaurants
such as Bertha Mirandas, el
Pueblo, Tacos el Rey, and Lime-
ita have promised to donate
food for the event, she said.
The Day of the Dead is tradi-
tionally celebrated on Oct. 31
and Nov. 1 in Latin American
countries. The early celebration
is due to the difculty in hosting
an event on Nevada Day week-
end, West said.
The artwork will also be avail-
able for a longer period of view-
ing, she said.
Misconception regarding the
holiday are common in Ameri-
can, members of the local Latino
community said.
A lot of people dont know
what Day of the Dead really is,
said 21-year old Spanish and el-
ementary education major Erin
Lee. They think its a Mexican
Halloween, and its not.
Lee said the day is a traditional
Mexican holiday that combines
aspects of the Catholic holiday
All Saints Day with ancient Aztec
celebrations.
The Day of the Dead cel-
ebration is an effort to bring and
connect Latino families to UNR,
West said.
The campus is intimidating
for the Latino community, and
they have no reason to come
here unless they are invited,
West said.
If Latino families feel comfort-
able around campus, they may
be more willing to send their
children to UNR, West said. The
Hispanic student population at
UNR is around 11 percent, she
said. Hispanics make up an es-
timated 21 percent of Washoes
Countys population, according
to a local census count in 2009.
Getting more of the greater
Latino community on campus is
important, West said.
Introducing this aspect of
Latino culture to the entire com-
munity is an important aspect
of the celebration on campus,
Navarrete said.
We denitely want to incor-
porate the whole community
and show them this Mexican tra-
dition, she said.
Last year, the Latino theater
and dance group Teatro Sangre
Latina y Danza Azteca Aztlan
performed a theatrical dance for
the holiday. This year, the center
wanted to focus more on provid-
ing activities for the Latino com-
munity around the University.

TWO FORMER CHILDREN
SOLDIERS TO SPEAK
ABOUT WAR IN UGANDA
The student club, Project 58,
will host an event for Invisible
Children, which is an organi-
zation that seeks to enlighten
others about a war in Uganda.
The event will include a show-
ing of a short lm and a pre-
sentation by two Ugandans,
according to Cassie Ricker, the
president of Project 58.
According to Ricker, the
country of Uganda has been
terrorized for decades by war-
lord Joseph Kony. He has also
terrorized three other African
nations.
The international organiza-
tion, Invisible Children, aims
to end the conict in Uganda
and rescue the children who
are forced into war.
Ricker said two young
Ugandan men who were once
forced to ght in the war as
children will speak about
their struggles and give advice
on ways everyone can help
Ugandans.
The short lm that will be
shown during the event will
tell the story of Americans who
experienced the terror of the
war rsthand.
Ricker said she thinks
everyone should come to the
event to learn about the war
in Uganda, and also the ways
they can help end it.
I think its really important
for students and the public to
come together and learn about
this issue that is so much big-
ger than us, Ricker said. We
need to come together and
nd a way to end this war now.
Its literally the longest running
conict in Africa.
The event will take place on
Tuesday from 7 to 9 p.m. in The
Joe Crowley Student Union
Theater.

County Sheriffs Department
beginning Oct. 5, according to
Deputy Armando Avina.
The victim, Eva Marie Fie-
dler, who is now 31 years old,
discovered she was a kidnap-
ping victim after she tried to
apply for a marriage licence.
Fiedler was kidnapped by her
non-custodial mother during
a court recess in New Jersey in
1984.
Avina said the suspect, Nancy
Dunsavage, who had been
living under a false identity in
Incline Village, confessed she
was the subject wanted for
arrest.
She is now temporarily being
held in custody by the Washoe
County Sheriffs Department.

DAY OF THE DEAD
Sunny
By Emerson Marcus
University of Nevada, Reno
journalism professor Rosemary
McCarthy said her departments
new $8 million grant will give
the university the most up-to-
date journalism program in the
nation.
We are kind of part of a big,
developing crowd, McCarthy
said.
The school will buy new
computers and equipment while
the 20-year-old building will
undergo a one-year renovation
set to start immediately after
nals in December.
McCarthy and Journalism
Dean Jerry Ceppos held a town-
hall meeting Thursday with
students to discuss spending
decisions of the schools grant
received October 2009 from the
Donald W. Reynolds Foundation.
Bricks from the building will
be removed to re-wire the walls
and include a faster central
server. The patio on the parking
lot side will also be made more
accessible, McCarthy said.
I am very upset, said Jade
Sheldon, a journalism major. I
love that school and its like my
little home away from home, but
I understand the necessity of the
renovations.
The department will buy new
equipment broadcast gear
and Macintosh computers
with the grant money.
New security systems will also
give students 24-hour, seven-
day-a-week access with security
cards, McCarthy said.
Journalism students schedules
will fall under central scheduling
for the entire 2011-12 school year.
There will be two classrooms
used by the journalism school in
the William J. Raggio Building and
one on the second oor of the
Channel 5 News Station building
near the campus post ofce,
McCarthy said.
Faculty will move to the top
oor of the Ansari Business
Building.
Scheduling will be difcult,
McCarthy said. Classes will be
scheduled at earlier and later
hours in the day. Students might
have to brace themselves for
some 8 a.m. classes.
The Center for Courts and
Media will move from its location
off Evans Street to the third oor
of the journalism building after
the move. The graduate schools
location on the third oor will
also be moved to the rst oor
of the building.
Freshman Devyn Kinard said
she is excited for the renovations
and that it will move her school
into the 21st century.
I think it needs to happen,
she said. As of now, our building
is a little too old school.

RENOVATIONS
By Jay Balagna
YouTube can be used for a lot
of things. Its great for wasting
time in the library, catching up
on that missed episode of Sat-
urday Night Live and posting
videos of friends embarrassing
moments.
Soon, students may spend
time on the video website for
their economics homework, too.
The newest version of Essen-
tials of Economics, a textbook
by Bradley Schiller, an econom-
ics professor at the University
of Nevada, Reno, will have what
he said is the rst ofcial built-
in YouTube component. The
online edition of the book will
have videos embedded that
show economic principles along
with short synopses of how they
t into each chapter. The videos
will be updated monthly to
remove broken links and keep
the clips up to date.
Were trying to nd more
electronic supplements for text-
books, Schiller said. Students
spend an inordinate amount of
time online and its important
for us to try to integrate that.
The addition of SNL skits,
viral videos and other short
clips also serves to spur inter-
est in the content for students,
Schiller said.
It really just serves to lighten
up the written word, he said.
Students will remember the
video, and then hopefully re-
member the economic concept
that goes with it.
In addition to projects like
Schillers book, teachers use You-
Tube videos to teach everything
from math problems to physics
lectures, Chris Dale, a spokes-
man for the website, said.
(YouTube parent company)
Googles mission is to organize
the worlds information and
make it accessible and use-
ful, Dale said. Its great that
people are turning to YouTube
for educational content as an
extension of that.
Dale said that in addition
to single educators, notably
Salman Khan whose Khan
Academy YouTube channel has
more than 2.5 million views
on videos tutoring students in
subjects ranging from Biology
to Finance, the website part-
ners with universities around
the world on projects like
YouTube EDU. The educational
partnership hosts videos from
more than 300 universities in 10
countries and seven languages,
Dale said.
The move to use online vid-
eos in class is helpful to many
students, Alexandr Bajenov, a
22-year-old electrical engineer-
ing major, said. The videos can
be especially helpful in humani-
ties classes, where Bajenov said
he has had teachers show them
in the past.
It depends on the teacher,
but in general it makes the class
more interesting, he said.
Jay Balagna can be reached at
jbalagna@nevadasagebrush.com.
Professor partners
with YouTube
equipment, could house
college-level courses in the
evening, he said. Community
college classes on high school
campuses could be put into
practice as early as spring se-
mester, he said.
Sharing facilities will also
expand the number of college
courses available to high school
students, Klaich said. Dual
credit programs, offering college
credit to high school students,
are already available in both
Washoe and Clark counties.
Sharing more facilities between
the two administrations would
mean increased opportunities
for high school students, he
said.
Heath Morrison, superin-
tendent of the Washoe County
School District, said local high
school students would benet
from the increased sharing of
classroom space with higher
education institutions like
Truckee Meadows Community
College.
The school district is seeking
to diversify Northern Nevadas
economy through the proposed
establishment of career-
oriented learning centers in
the county, Morrison said. The
partnership presents a win-win
situation for school districts and
the states higher education,
with colleges gaining access to
space and high school students
gaining access to instruction,
he said.
Maria Sheehan, president of
TMCC, said the college has long
used facilities in the community
for non-credit and continuing
education classes. She said
TMCC will consider expanding
the use of Washoe County School
District facilities based on the
need for space in the following
semesters.
TMCC has no plans to build
new facilities, Sheehan said.
With an abundance of high
school classroom space going
unused in the evening and after-
noon, she said the college will
use the easily accessible space
at hand.
You dont build a new building
when there are facilities avail-
able, Sheehan said. Were
making sure were considering
all the resources available.
Sheehan said the tight-knit
relationship between the
Washoe County School Dis-
trict and the Nevada System
of Higher Education will
make further facility sharing
simple, should the resources
be needed.

funding methods for programs
like the Millennium Scholarship.
Im very strongly in favor of
the Millennium Scholarship, so I
try to show them ways to make it

The Millennium Scholarship
isnt necessarily going to end this
session because it costs about $26
million in a $6.8 billion budget, or
about 0.4 percent, Marshall said.
Mark Lisowski, a 22-year-old

tant for him to know the answers
to.
If prices get raised, thats de-
nitely concerning, he said.

evant to me, he said.

Sepulveda said she will return
to Reno only after all 33 miners
have reached the top of the
mine. Due to delays and false
alarms in the miners rescue,
she has changed her return
ticket three times, she said.
Iris West, assistant to the
director at the Latino Research
Center and a Chilean citizen,
said Sepulvedas work will look
at the mining disaster from
a perspective not seen in the
news media.
Its will show a more personal
and human side of whats hap-
pening at the mine, she said.
Sepulvedas work will also
take a much-needed look at the
lives and rights of women asso-
ciated with the mining industry
in Chile, West said.
Jazmin Aravena, a civil
environmental engineering
graduate student at UNR, said
the disaster has been frontpage
news for two months.
I check the news all day about
the mining incident, she said.
Its important to Chile because
Chile is a big mining country.
Sepulveda, a Chilean citizen,
will return to Reno with a true
Chilean perspective of the
ordeal, Aravena said.
Its the Chilean view right
here in the U.S., she said.

Budget constraints and an increasing number of students in the Nevada System of Higher Education has left administrators looking for space
to hold classes. The NSHE Board of Regents are discussing an increase in classroom sharing with local school districts.
opponents as they tried to grab
the ball out of his lap until he
passed the goal line.
The teams name is Sierra
Storm. The group of Reno-area
quadriplegics meets twice a
week at Evelyn Mount Commu-
nity Center, a few blocks away
from the University of Nevada,
Reno, to play a sport known by
many as murderball. The sport
is ofcially called quad rugby.
Elizabeth Phillips, a 29-year-
old international affairs and
Spanish major at UNR, is one
of those quadriplegics. She was
injured 14 years ago while lying
in the bed of a pickup truck.
When the driver slammed on the
brakes to avoid a collision, she
slid into the forward wall of the
bed and broke her neck. Phillips
will be conned to a wheelchair
for the rest of her life.
But she hasnt let her injury
slow her down. October is Dis-
ability Awareness Month, a time
meant to highlight the abilities
of the disabled, according
to Mary Anne Christensen,
assistant director of the UNR
Disability Resource Center. For
Phillips, that means things like
talking with others about her
disability, studying abroad and
playing murderball.
MURDERBALL
Murderball is a legitimate
sport, said Todd Wolfe, one
of the team captains. Theyre
rough, and theyll do what it
takes to get the ball through the
goal line, he said.
But its more than that. Sierra
Storm has brought people with
similar disabilities together to
form a community, he said.
Its pretty much the only time
we feel normal, said Wolfe.
Nobody stares at you.
Phillips practices twice a week
with the team and will compete
Oct. 2931 in a tournament
against teams from nearby
states.
In addition to bringing quad-
riplegics together, the sport
is also a way for people with
disabilities to recover and stay
healthy, she said.
Even when youre able-
bodied, if you dont exercise,
workout, keep moving, your
body just kind of deteriorates
and its even worse when you
have a disability, no matter what
it is but especially when youre
sitting all the time, your body
automatically starts breaking
down, Phillips said.
Chris Chapman, a 27-year-old
UNR alumnus and member
of Sierra Storm, said the sport
helps him to learn about how to
move in a wheelchair.
Chapman was paralyzed from
the chest down in May when he
dove the wrong way into a pit of
mud during the Reno River Fes-
tivals Run Amuck, a relay lled
with obstacles. Wolfe and other
members of the team visited
him while he was in the hospital
and convinced him to come to
murderball practices, he said.
STUDYING ABROAD
Phillips will study abroad next
semester in Santiago, Chile, with
hopes of studying in Puebla,
Mexico, next fall. She said one
of the reasons she chose those
locations is because they arent
locations in the University
Studies Abroad Consortium that
shes heard many people in
wheelchairs have been able to
go to in the past.
Phillips said she hopes her
studies abroad will pave the way
for more students who rely on
wheelchairs to study abroad.
Getting people with disabili-
ties engaged in activities like
this is a goal for occupational
therapists like Katrina Tan, an
OT at St. Marys Regional Medi-
cal Center.
Just because you were in an
accident or whatever doesnt
mean your life is over, she said.
Tan said many people with dis-
abilities become depressed after
being injured, which is a severe
obstacle to recovery. The stages
of grieving the death of a loved
one applies to many people who
have recently become disabled,
she said.
ACCESSIBILITY PROBLEMS
While Phillips is working to
improve accessibility abroad,
Christensen, the assistant direc-
tor of the disability center, is try-
ing to improve access on campus
for students with disabilities. Her
ofce has advocated for physi-
cal accessibility improvements
such as railings around campus
and disability seating in Mackay
Stadium as well as educational
access like text-to-speech read-
ers and dictation systems.
Phillips said that although
the university has tried hard,
she still runs into numerous
problems at the university.
While workers will make sure to
remove snow and ice from stairs
in the winter, they arent always
as careful about ramps like the
ones around the Joe Crowley
Student Union. Other times, she
will nd trash people left on the
ground stuck in her wheels.
Chapman said hes always
nding new accessibility issues.
Many businesses only have one
handicapped parking spot or
steep ramps. Restaurants have
tables that are too high for him
to sit at comfortably.
AWARENESS
Ultimately, awareness means
getting to know people with dis-
abilities, Phillips said.
Subconsciously, youre told
if its different, its bad, so I try
to talk to people about it, she
said.
As a result, she said people
have moved activities she was
a part of into the upper oors
of buildings, and she has seen
parents stop their children from
approaching her.
(The children) never even got
the chance, so they wont know
and so then you just grow up
assuming, Oh, my mom told me
never to talk to these people,
she said.
Will Adler, a dyslexic UNR
student, said people have a
tendency to avoid people with
disabilities.
You see the outlook that
theyre a leper, he said.
Phillips said she tries to talk
to people about her disability
whenever possible.
I know a lot of people in
wheelchairs are grumpy, so I
try to upset that balance and be
super nice, she said.
to be answered. So at 8:45 a.m.
last Friday I walked into the
Student Health Center to pick
up my chair.
My problems began the
moment I sat down.
8:55 A.M.
After someone helped
me through the doorway, I
wheeled myself down my rst
handicapped-accessible ramp.
Though it was only a few feet
long, the downhill acceleration
gave me a thrill akin to driving a
car for the rst time.
I decided to wheel myself
to my class in Edmund J. Cain
Hall instead of taking the bus,
thinking the overall downhill
slope of the campus would
make it faster.
I was wrong.
9:10 A.M.
I quickly learned how much
arm strength it took to wheel up
ramps. The overall slope to EJCH
was downhill, but there were still
uphill portions, the most difcult
of which were the ramps on the
outside of Lombardi Recreation
Center. On steep downhill slopes
like the one leading south from
Lombardi, I put my hands inside
my sleeves for protection as
I gripped the wheels to stop
from spinning too fast. I went
around the bottom side of the
Mathewson-IGT Knowledge
Center before realizing I had no
idea how to get to EJCH from
there, causing me to turn around
and work my way up the ramp
on the side of the building.
9:20 A.M.
My arms were already getting
tired by the time I reached the
sidewalk curving around the
outside of the William J. Raggio
Building. The sidewalk was
accentuated on the left by a pit
lled with large, red rocks. I had
always enjoyed the sight, but I
realized soon after getting onto
that portion of the sidewalk that
it was tilted toward the rocks.
The tiny, invisible slope
turned my chair toward the
rocks with every push. After
coming close to the edge, I
made it out and wheeled myself
toward EJCH. I looked at my cell
phone. I was already almost a
half hour late for class.
But I had to go to the
bathroom. I pulled myself
through a door for the rst time
by pushing it open and gripping
the frame before the door
closed.
I always thought handicapped
stalls were extremely large, but
when I closed the door to the
one in the EJCH bathroom, my
wheelchair took up all but about
three square feet of the stall.
It took several turns to get my
chair close enough to the toilet
to push myself onto it.
11 A.M.
Between the end of my
second class and my arrival in
the Sagebrush ofce, I got a
rst-hand experience of what
a wheelchair-bound classmate
had told me about: People
were determined to help me. A
student from my second class
of the day held the door open
for me as I exited even though
she wasnt leaving the room.
Another pushed the button to
make the doors to the building
open automatically before I
could get to it. On the third oor
of The Joe, I ran into a crowd of
children. A man hurriedly told
them to move aside as I passed.
4:40 P.M.
I took the bus on my way back
to the health center to avoid the
steep uphill slope by Lombardi.
Upon seeing me, the driver
unbuckled and came out of the
bus to help me in.
The process was complicated.
She rst opened a side door,
then pulled down a ramp until
it was horizontal. She used a
controller attached to the ramp
to lower it to the ground. I rolled
backward onto the ramp and
she buckled in a rope in front of
me so I wouldnt roll off while it
raised me up. The driver went
back into the bus to put up two
rows of seats, which I rolled
backward into. She attached
two hooks to the frame of the
chair before putting the ramp
back up, closing the door and
driving again.
A smile never left her face.
4:55 P.M.
I wheeled into the health
center a few minutes before
closing time and stood up to
wheel the chair to the desk. My
legs felt strange as I got up. I
turned in the chair and walked
out, hurrying to avoid the kind
bus driver who had just spent
so much time to help me when I
was actually able-bodied.
I learned a lot about getting
around campus. But mostly what
I learned was that life wasnt all
that different sitting down.
When I left the chair, I wasnt
lled with pity for the people
who had to do it every day. I
didnt feel that relieved to be out
of the chair.
The truth is Disability
Awareness Month isnt about
that. Its about realizing that
people with disabilities are no
different than anybody else.
In the course of my day in a
wheelchair, I went to class,
interviewed people for the
paper and made lame jokes
that nobody laughed at.
I was exactly the same person.

SEX AND ROMANCE
Eating chocolate and
chilis makes sex better
nevadasagebrush.com A7 OCTOBER 12, 2010
W
hile engrossed in
a poorly heated
living space this
fall and winter,
dont turn to layers of restrictive
clothing or big heavy blankets.
The answer is simple, people
just get naked.
Theres nothing better than
making natural body heat by
rubbing against a partner to get
frisky and warm.
But as science majors know,
the fusion of
two bodies
requires
energy. Sex
without drive
wont come
naturally.
However, I
have good
news there
are ways
that we can
increase our
libido!
The term aphrodisiac refers
to any substance that acts on
an organism in such a way as
to increase the sex drive. Due
to the broad nature of this
denition, we classify things we
see, smell, taste, hear and touch
as types of aphrodisiacs.
Upon contact with such
substances, the body
becomes physiologically
elevated. Certain foods trigger
hormonal releases associated
with pleasure or drive, while
simultaneously triggering an
increase in heart rate. Suddenly,
the desire to rip your clothes
off and mount another person
becomes unbearable!
Chocolate is a widely-known
and used aphrodisiac. Research
shows that dark chocolate,
which contains more cocoa,
actually releases serotonin
in the brain. Serotonin is the
hormone tied to feelings of
relaxation and pleasure and
chocolate can easily be used
in the bedroom. For example,
licking chocolate syrup off your
partners body serves as great
foreplay! You dont even have
to worry about the calories
because that ruckus under the
sheets will burn those instantly.
If you prefer spicy over sweet,
you will love this next one! Chili
peppers can spice up your love
life by releasing endorphins
into your brain. But the spicy
nature of this food could be a
turnoff, so eat with caution.
Dont indulge or you might
sweat profusely or drip snot all
over your partner. Yuck!
Oysters are high in zinc,
which is necessary for sperm
production, as well as ingredi-
ents that raise the testosterone
levels in men. In addition,
there is said to be a striking
resemblance between an oyster
and the female anatomy, which
can also serve a stimulating
function. So go get your man
some seafood!
Celery contains the male
hormone androsterone, which
is absorbed after consumption
then released through perspira-
tion. It functions as a phero-
mone, thus stimulating female
sex drive. Nothing captures a
girls vagina like the natural
musky scent of her man.
For future reference, heres a
list of several other aphrodisi-
acs you can put to good use
pineapple, vanilla, ginger, gs,
basil, tomatoes, strawberries,
cherries, artichokes, bananas,
saffron, honey, eggs, mead,
asparagus, radishes, nutmeg,
mustard, pine nuts, coffee,
avocados, almonds and more.
So this season, dont just stay
warm get steamy. Remember
that sex dominates stress!
Afterward, you can settle back
to studies with some tea and
honey, or perhaps hot cocoa.
But be careful round two?!

T
wo weeks ago, I left school on an early Tuesday
evening. But this specic Tuesday was a
special one. I rushed home, plopped down
on the couch and turned on the television for
an hour of hokey, cheesy, wondrous entertainment
Glee.
The episode focused on none other than Britney
Spears. Throughout the episode, Spears continually
appeared in anesthesia-induced hallucinations that the
kids experienced at the dentist. But this was no mere
psychedelic drug trip she appeared in the form of a
muse that inspired the characters in the show to reveal
their true identities.
To say that Spears had the same effect on me is an
understatement.
When I was only 11 years old, I
discovered her rst album, Baby
One More Time, and I was instantly
hooked. Every day after school, I
slipped that cassette tape into my
boom box and let loose. Some-
times, it was a little too much for the
parents, and they would claim that I
was driving them Crazy. But they
had no idea what was coming next.
Yep, Im talking full-on drag. The
sixth-grade talent show, blonde wig,
plaid skirt and months of dance
practice led to my rendition of Oops!
I Did it Again in front of 200 people (and I was shocked
when my parents said they knew I was gay from a
young age).
Before this talent show, I was that awkward, quiet
kid that sat over in the corner waiting and hoping that
someone would talk to me. Spears music gave me
the courage and strength to break out of my shell and
dance my ass off without a care in the world for other
peoples opinions.
But Id Just Begun Having My Fun. Throughout my
next two years at Clayton Middle School, I continued
practicing a healthy Britney-regimen of dancing alone
in my room while imagining the music videos I would
create were I the director of her next big one. After
seeing her in concert during the summer of 2000, I
appeared on a video in front of the entire school where
I performed my Oops! I Did it Again number that I
still remember to this day.
During my middle school performances, I developed
a strong love for the performing arts. Her second
album had created a new Britney that was more con-
dent, Stronger and independent. By imitating her
drive, I felt as if I had inherited a part of her fortitude.
Some say that my obsession had become somewhat
Toxic, but to me it was as natural as counting to 3.
When I entered high school, I found my burgeoning
sexuality evolving with her portrayal of sex. She had
managed to develop this world that I tried to live
through vicariously.
I wanted her condence and her success, and grow-
ing up as the only openly gay student in high school,
I searched for any sort of mentor that could help me
along my path.
Britney Spears helped me become the person I
am today. Because of her inspiration, I am my crazy,
eccentric, occasionally-amboyant self without caring
about the judgments of other people. She taught me
that What You See Is What You Get.

I
n an era where the state
recently cut about $1
billion and is expected to
slash another estimated
$3 billion, very little is more
important than saving money.
For every dollar saved in
higher education means, one
less is cut from educational
programs that have already
been trimmed too thin.
Nevada System of Higher
Education administrators
are thinking strategically and
intelligently by proposing to
house some college courses
in high school classrooms
after-hours.
NSHE would pay the Washoe
County School District a fee
for building maintenance but
would save money in capital
costs by avoiding the need to
construct new buildings for the
rapid growing college enroll-
ment rate.
Sharing facilities has
already been established in
both Northern and Southern
Nevada, and the plan would
extend those efforts of doing
more with less during a suffer-
ing economy.
The plan, which would
place some community
college classes in Washoe and
Clark counties high school
classrooms, would not only
save in costs but it would also
add several other benets
to higher education and the
state.
NSHE should continue
expanding the idea of facility
sharing, and look into how
the University of Nevada,
Reno and University of Las
Vegas could also house classes
elsewhere, if need be.
By housing more college
classes in area high schools,
younger students will be more
exposed to university life at an
earlier age, which increases
motivation and accessibility to
higher education.
If NSHE exposes students to
the idea of college earlier and
provides face-to-face interac-
tion with college students,
it could help increase the
number of Nevadans with a
college degree.
Creating a more cohesive
relationship between K-12 and
higher education could only
bring benets to the state,
as both entities hold similar
missions in educating the
future of Nevadas workforce.
Arguments that facility
sharing weakens the unity of
a college campus or makes
travel to classes more difcult
for students might be valid
but should be considered
easy sacrices to cutting
costs when the alternatives
could be shutting down entire
departments as NSHE saw last
biennium.

T
wo winters ago, as the
Legislature was headed
into session, I joined
with you in Carson City
to speak out against Governor
Gibbons proposed 47 percent
budget
cut to the
University
of Nevada,
Reno. On
that cold
day around
the Capitol
Mall,
student
activism
was in full
force, and I
was proud
to stand
with The Associated Students
of the University of Nevadas
President Eli Reilly to argue for
higher educations importance
in the lives of all Nevadans.
With student activism as a
foundation, I joined with many
of my colleagues in beating
back the extreme cuts, cuts that
were put forth by a governor
who had run on a pledge of
putting education rst. While
cuts were necessary to balance
the budget, the closing of
entire colleges and 300 percent
fee increases the scenarios
proposed to absorb the more
severe cuts were avoided.
I appreciate the support
many students from this
campus have given me, and
Im proud to be part of your
community. As a father of twin
boys, almost 2-years-old now,
Ill ght harder than ever next
session to continue protecting
education and making sure
that everyone understands the
importance of our universities
and colleges to our states
economic recovery. Im running
for re-election to continue to
represent Assembly District 24,
and Im asking for your support.
With a $3 billion budget
decit projected next bien-
nium, we need to be wary of
candidates claiming they will
make education a priority,
while disparaging our revenue
needs.
We need legislators who are
willing to be straight with the
people they serve, rather than
claim against the facts
that somehow the shortfall is
less. The Nevada Legislature
has a constitutional mandate
to balance the budget without
running a decit. To claim that
further cuts can be avoided,
while at the same time oppos-
ing new sources of revenue,
is at best naive, and at worst,
disingenuous.
We need strong leadership
representing our community,
leadership that can work on
complex issues across party
lines to get things done. And
leadership thats not afraid
of making the tough choices
necessary to move this state
forward.
Earlier in my career, I worked
in the Planning, Budget
and Analysis ofce here at
UNR. In my two terms as an
Assemblyman, Ive served on
the Education Committee and
on the Council to Establish
Academic Standards. I know the
budget and the challenges we
face from this current shortfall.
As we make tough decisions,
I will ght to protect this
university, while working to
make sure that any changes to
our revenue structure provide
the revenue to fund essential
services, and make Nevadas tax
structure more fair and more
stable.
Early voting begins on
Oct. 16. You can vote at the

POLITICS ON THE BRAIN
Colin Powell has ability to cross party lines,
discuss true opportunities awaiting politics
I
was frustrated, no better
informed, and just about
nished with politics 15
minutes into Thursday
nights
Nevada
Gubernato-
rial debate.
My initial
reaction
is that I
dont want
to vote
for either
of these
men. They
did not
answer the
questions,
did not explain their policies,
and they did not even perform
well as public speakers.
Whenever this criticism
arises, most people simply
brush it off, saying that it is no
surprise that politicians only
engage in empty rhetoric.
Have our expectations really
sunk so low that we are OK with
subpar leadership for our state
and country? We deserve better
and we must demand more of
our politicians.
I do not write on the debates
specically, but on leadership.
As the Washington politicians
head home to campaign for
our votes, they will try to hide
the fact that they are more
concerned about maintaining
power than doing whats best
for the country.
It is time for us to say with
a unied voice that we will no
longer accept rhetoric ped-
dling, poor speaking ex-lawyers
as our leaders. We need new
leadership in this country.
We need Colin Powell.
Although I write in opposi-
tion of both major parties, and
of most major candidates, I
do not write in support of the
Tea Party. That group has also
expressed dissatisfaction with
both sides of the aisle, but they
are missing a key ingredient:
pragmatism.
The dominating factor in
American politics at the state
and national level are rhetori-
cal catch-phrases designed to
appeal to voters emotions.
Republicans and Democrats
are both missing this crucial
aspect of governing.
Leading a country should
always be more about policy
than politics, and so far no one
has understood that, except
Powell.
During an interview on
Meet the Press on Sept. 19,
the former general cautioned
Americans to avoid nonsensi-
cal criticisms and attacks of
President Obama. Lets attack
him on policy, not nonsense,
Powell said.
He was referring to the 22
percent of Americans who
believe Obama is a Muslim,
and the argument that Obama
isnt a U.S. citizen.
Powell makes a very
important point. Most of
the criticisms of the current
administration are not based
in good policy theory they
are based in arbitrary values es-
poused by ranking Republicans
or angry Tea Partiers.
Dont worry, most criticisms
from the other side are the
same.
Politicians are trying to
appeal to our emotions, not
our reason. This is a central
problem in American politics
that must change now.
This campaign is fraught
with quick statements to stir
up support. Those on the right
side of the aisle say we are
spending too much and we
must reduce the decit. Those
on the left side say we cant cut
essential programs that would
hurt Americans.
Powell wisely cuts through
both facades to show what
we really must do. How do
we bring the decit down by
cutting spending, and where
do we cut that spending? he
said. Its not enough to just
say, Lets do it. You got to have
more than slogans.
We all want lower taxes. But
no one wants to cut essential
programs, so what do we do?
We start by having a real debate
on policy, not just senseless
semantics. The Tea Party as
well as the Republicans must
answer where specically
can we cut spending? In what
ways can we reduce the decit?
Democrats if we dont
cut, how can we reduce the
decit? Is increasing taxes an
economically-sound strategy
during a recession?
These are the questions
that need to be answered this
campaign season.
Powell seems to be one of the
very few leaders who accurately
sees where the debate needs
to be, as opposed to where it
is now.
Because of this wisdom,
I hope Colin Powell runs
for ofce someday, perhaps
President. If he did, he would
have my vote hands down.
But even if he never appears
on a ballot, we must take his
leadership and pragmatism as
examples of what true guides of
how our nation should be.

ism major. He can be reached at

I
am Monte Johnson and I
am asking for your vote.
This November election
is one of the most critical
elections ever faced in Nevada
for many reasons. The state is
facing the
biggest
budget
shortfall
in history
while on
the heels
of ranking
near the
bottom
in many
categories,
including
unemploy-
ment,
foreclosures and education.
Nevada needs strong leadership
in Carson City that understands
education will be a key factor to
economic growth in Nevada.
That is why I believe that
now is the moment of truth
for Nevadans to stand up, and
ask what is being done about
education. What direction is
the Nevada Education system
going in and what are we going
to do about it? Are we going
to keep moving forward with
low education results for the
state? These are questions that
need to be asked. The system
is micromanaged and though
I hear legislators stating all
the work they have done for
education in Nevada, why has
it taken us to be in the situation
we are to have the discussion
about education be a priority?
Its time to take a stand on
education, move away from the
status quo and expect results.
I have been employed with
FedEx Express for 11 years,
holding many positions.
Currently, I am an operations
manager, a position I have held
for over three years. During that
period I have been responsible
for the budget, the environ-
ment, safety, audit, training and
education. I understand that
a well-educated and trained
workforce drives success.
I have a Bachelors of Science
degree in Business Manage-
ment from the University of
Phoenix. I understand why
education coupled with
accountability is so important
to the success of Nevada.
If there is any Assembly Dis-
trict in Nevada that should be
focusing on education it should
be District 24 as it encompasses
the University of Nevada, Reno.
As a Candidate for Assembly
District 24, it is my responsibil-
ity to represent the best interest
of the university and education
along with balancing the other
issues in the state. That is why
I have signed The Nevada
Education Pledge to stand
up for education and put it as
a priority instead of speaking
of it. I want to be available as
your legislator to listen to your
concerns about the issues you
face daily as Nevadans.
As an operations manager
in my profession, I deal with
genuine problems daily and I
understand that there are no
cookie-cutter answers to each
problem. I understand that I
need to engage the people who
deal with these problems daily
and obtain their input on how
decisions may affect them.
The role of legislator here in
Nevada is the same, and my
door will be open to discuss
these important decisions that
we are facing. The decisions
we will be making this next
legislative session will take
someone who is an innovative
thinker and has enough politi-
cal courage to make the right
decisions that Nevada needs
to return to prosperity. Dont
hope for a better Nevada, vote
for one. Stand with me Nov. 2
as I will stand with you for the
future of Nevada.

Its rare for a receiver who averages 121 yards per game and has nine
touchdowns to be seen as a second option. But thats just what Pilares is
for Hawaii. Along with receiver Greg Salas, Pilares provides quarterback
Bryant Moniz with one of the best one-two receiver duos in the nation.
Against Louisiana Tech, Pilares had more than 200 receiving yards and
two touchdowns, showing he can single-handedly take over a game. The
Wolf Packs secondary will have to nd a way stop Pilares or the Warriors
could be putting an end to Nevadas undefeated season. Even if Pilares
doesnt have a big game, however, the attention he attracts could open the
game for Salas to have a big game receiving. Salas is averaging 126.2 yards
receiving per game, which is second in the nation.

Nevada will face its rst tough conference game of the sea-

against Fresno State and is looking to continue its seven-game
home winning streak against the Wolf Pack. With both teams
undefeated in Western Athletic Conference play, Nevada will
have its hands full against the nations most potent pass of-

Nevadas secondary may be playing better this
season than in years past, but the Warriors will be
the units toughest test to date. Hawaii owns the
nations top passing attack, averaging 421.7
yards per game.
Quarterback Bryant Moniz averages 374.2
passing yards per game and has 2,245 pass-
ing yards through six games. Leading the
way for Moniz are two receivers who have
caused opposing defenses major problems.
Greg Salas and Kealoha Pilares average 126.2

tively, and have combined for 16 of Monizs
18 touchdowns.
During Hawaiis game against Louisiana
Tech, Pilares had 217 receiving yards and
two touchdowns. Salas had 197 yards and
two touchdowns as well.
Hawaii has passed the ball 277 times com-
pared to rushing only 116 times. Moniz has
made the most of his chances, throwing for
18 touchdowns and only four interceptions.
With both receivers capable of having a big
game, Nevadas defense will have to pressure
early and often. However, the Warriors have
given up only 13 sacks this season, or only 4
percent of their pass plays.
Aside from its 31-13 loss to Colorado, the War-
riors have scored at least 31 points in every game
this season and have scored 41 and 49 points in
its two conference games against Louisiana Tech
and Fresno State.
Nevadas defense may be improved from last year,
but its still far from perfect. The Wolf Pack is allowing
229.7 pass yards per game (82nd in the nation).
Despite the high passing yardage allowed, Nevadas
defense has made a lot more big plays this season, already
collecting eight interceptions compared to just eight all of last
season.
TURNOVERS
While the focus on Hawaii may be on its offense, the Warriors
defense is very opportunistic, already having forced 15 turn-
overs this season. The unit has recovered all seven fumbles it
has forced this year.
Linebacker Aaron Brown and cornerback Jeramy Bry-
ant are two of the defenses biggest playmakers. The
pair has three and four interceptions, respectively,
and each also has a fumble recovery.
While the Wolf Pack offense has
only turned the ball over nine
times this season, ve have come
in the last two weeks against the
University of Nevada, Las Vegas
and San Jose State.
If Nevada continues to be careless
with the ball, Hawaiis defense likely
wont let the Wolf Pack get away with it.

at Fresno, Calif.
By Cory Thomas
Early in the third quarter, the
heavily-favored Wolf Pack had
the ball and was up by eight
points.
Quarterback Colin Kaepernick
handed the ball to Vai Taua who
ran 73 untouched yards to the
endzone for a touchdown.
It was Tauas longest run of the
season and helped Nevada to
a 35-13 win over San Jose State
on Saturday night at Mackay
stadium.
As soon as (Kaepernick)
handed me the ball I saw the
hole, Taua said. The (offen-
sive) line opened up the hole, I
mean, a truck could have drove
through it.
Taua rushed for a season-
high 196 yards and scored three
touchdowns, averaging more
than 12 yards per carry.
I thought he played very
physical, head coach Chris Ault
said. I thought he ran the ball
well.
On the season, Taua has 827
yards rushing and 11 touch-
downs. He leads the team in
rushing and is tied with Kaeper-
nick in rushing touchdowns.
PENALTIES PILE UP
Even though the Wolf Pack got
the win, several players and
Ault felt there were too many
mistakes made by the offense
and the defense.
I thought our worst enemy
was us, Ault said.
Besides fumbles and inter-
ceptions; the biggest problem
that the team talked about was
penalties. The Wolf Pack had
eight penalties for a total of 89
yards.
On one drive, Nevada scored
three times but was agged for
a penalty each time and even-
tually settled for a eld goal
attempt that kicker Anthony
Martinez missed.
Ive never seen three
touchdowns called back in the
same series, Ault said after
the game. Thats a hard pill to
swallow.
He also said that the team
did commit stupid penalties
but some of them were suspect
to him.
Youre just thinking, OK we
scored and did our job, well,
OK we have a hold penalty. We
score again, we have another
holding penalty, we score again
we have a pass interference
(penalty). said Kaepernick,
who had a passing and rushing
touchdown called back in the
series, You do something good
but you shoot yourself in the
foot taking it away.
The issues have become more
of a problem as the season has
worn on.
In Nevadas last three games,
it has accumulated more
penalties, had more fumbles
and thrown more interceptions
than the rst three games of the
season. Ault said the team has
to get better.
We cant have intercep-
tions, Ault said. Thats the
kind of stuff that, especially in
the goal zone that will cost
you dearly.
Nevada will try to limit its
turnovers in its next game at
Hawaii.
If we play like we have lately
it could get ugly over there,
Taua said.
KICKOFF PROBLEMS
An area that the Wolf Pack
struggled in was special
teams, especially with kick-
ing the ball out of bounds on
kickoffs.
Since coming back to the
team after Nevadas second
game, kicker Ricky Drake
had been handling all of the
kickoffs.
But after kicking the ball out
of bounds late in the rst quar-
ter against San Jose State, Nick
Rhodes took over the kickoff
duties.
Drake kicked the ball out of
bounds three times in the four
games he has played so far.
Rhodes handled all the kick-
offs in the rst two games.
We will have competitions
this week all week long and
the best one is going to end up
kicking for us, Ault said.

just across the line because it
was against the rules to have
every ball on your side for
more than ve seconds. Its
a strategy no different than a
quarterback-kneel in football,
but Nevadas quarterback felt
bitter.
Rowe, who I have no reason
to doubt is a nice guy outside
of dodge ball, was an immature
punk during this game.
Instead of running to the ball
and probably getting pegged
by one of our teams better
throwers, Rowe took his shoe
off and threw it at the ball.
He didnt lob it, either. He
threw it so fast that the shoe
bounced off the ball and
ricocheted about 15 feet,
nailing me in the head.
He was ejected from the
game for the shoe toss, and we
were headed to the champion-
ship round.
I still see Rowe in town. I
hold no grudges. Ive never
approached him about the
tournament in my life.
He went on to be drafted by
the Cincinnati Bengals in the
fth round of the 2007 NFL
Draft.
Im graduating in December
as a soldier in the Nevada
National Guard and a freelance
journalist.
Rowe probably forgets about
the dodge ball tournament,
most likely because his athletic
memories are cluttered by
bowl game appearances and
an NFL contract.
But I, along with my friends
from the seventh oor, will
remember our brief prowess
in intramural matches just as
we will remember a successful
in-class presentation or our
rst keg stand.
Emerson Marcus can be reached at
emarcus@nevadasagebrush.com.
Intramurals
players said it was a denite
problem that needed to be
addressed. With conference
games against Hawaii, Fresno
State and Boise State still
looming, players attribute the
critical errors to losing mental
focus during games.
At times, we lose our focus
and view where we are and
think that we are riding high,
Wimberly said. Thats not the
case. We need to play our game
and not create turnovers.
Kaepernick opened the sea-
son by throwing for six touch-
downs and no interceptions
in Nevadas rst three games
against Eastern Washington,
Colorado State and California.
Since then, he has thrown two
touchdowns and three picks.
For Kaepernick, his intercep-
tions were due to mental mis-
takes, not anything the team
did., he said.
But head coach Chris Ault
said he isnt worried about
interceptions when Kaepernick
is still completing more than 70
percent of his passes.
The (interception) at BYU
was just ridiculous and the one
last week he shouldnt have
thrown, Ault said. But thats
going to happen. The thing
you have to remember is hes
completed 70 percent of his
passes. Thats major. I dont care
about touchdowns. I care about
completion percentage.
Players say xing the problems
is a must, especially when facing
teams like Hawaii, which aver-
ages almost 500 yards per game
and its quarterback leads the
nation in total offense.
But Nevadas problems dont
stop there. The Wolf Pack com-
mitted eight penalties totalling
89 yards, three of which negated
touchdowns. The Wolf Pack
averages 63.3 penalty yards per
game and has been penalized
37 times this season, the fth-
highest total in the conference.
To meet our standards, you
dont have touchdowns called
back or critical penalties, Ault
said. Were very honest and up
front with the guys about their
performance.
Nevada continues WAC play
when the Wolf Pack travels to
play Hawaii 8:30 p.m. Satur-
day. The Warriors are coming
off a 49-27 win against Fresno
State.
The Wolf Pack will be looking
for its rst win at Hawaii since
1948, the same year Nevada
was last ranked. Overall, the
Wolf Pack has lost six games in
a row at Hawaii.
Although the team is viewing
the game like any other, the
memory of Nevadas recent losses
are in the back of their minds.
I think we owe Hawaii a little
something for what theyve
done to us the last few times
weve been over there, Kaeper-
nick said.

Drummond
soccer and track.
When she was being re-
cruited for soccer, Drummond
said she also had eight letters
for track but decided it was not
her sport.
She always got really ner-
vous before races, said Wylie
Drummond, her father, I used
to say, Its freaking track, all you
have to do is run in a circle.
She received 38 recruiting let-
ters for soccer including ones
from Michigan, Ohio State and
Purdue. Ultimately she chose
Nevada.
Wylie said the nal decision
came down to Colorado Col-
lege, New Mexico and Nevada.
I wanted to leave California,
I didnt want to go to school
there, Cristen said. I wanted
to broaden my horizons, I
wanted a four-seasons school.
Drummond and her father
came for an unofcial visit
to Nevada and she loved the
scenery.
We were sitting in the stands
watching the game and we
were looking toward Mt. Rose
and it was covered in snow
and she said, dad, thats so
pretty,Wylie said.
Drummond committed to
play for Nevada soon after.
Its awesome. I cant think of
any other school Id want to go
to, Drummond said.
Since arriving at Nevada,
Cristen has always been an
energetic leader on the eld.
Wylie said that she is also very
aggressive and competitive on
the eld.
Sometimes she has more
balls than brains, he said. Shell
go bang with girls that are taller
and bigger than her and thats
why she gets banged up.
Drummond was named the
teams Freshman of the Year in
2007 and was named to the All-
Western Athletic Conference
rst team as a sophomore.
Last season, Drummond
went down with a right knee
injury and considered red-
shirting but the coaches said
they wanted her for the WAC
tournament.
She returned for the
tournament and scored the
game-winning goal against
New Mexico State in Nevadas
rst-round match.
This season, Drummond
leads the team in shots, shots
on goal and points and has 27
more shots taken than anyone
else on the team.
If you dont shoot, you wont
score, Drummond said, I
missed half the season last year,
which was unfortunate, so I
guess Im just trying to make up
for what I lost last year.
Her father told her that tak-
ing shots is almost never a bad
thing.
Theres only one bad thing
that happens when you shoot
you dont make it, he said.
While Drummond is not a
team captain, head coach Missy
Price said she is very vocal and
not afraid to address the team
when needed.
I do what I can, on this team,
to help us succeed, Drum-
mond said.

Turnovers
Rugby struggles to recruit
PHOTOCOURTESYOFKARTINAPASCUAL
Womens rugby club president Diana Santos said the club has trouble getting students to join because of the perception of the sport of rugby.
By Jacob Ward
When most people think
about rugby players, they envi-
sion a big, muscular, strong
athlete a person who looks as
though they could easily knock a
person over if they wanted.
But if youve seen the Nevada
womens rugby club around
campus, many would not expect
them to be rugby players.
There is (a) stereotype,
denitely. I t it on the eld, but
not off, club president Diana
Santos said.
The stigma is inevitable,
mainly because rugby is not a
typical sport for women, Santos
said. Its something the womens
rugby team, which played two
matches this past weekend at
Lazy 5 Park in Sparks, has to deal
with often.
Its not very feminine, senior
Melva Trevino said. Off the
eld, we look like normal girls. I
dress (mostly) girly.
The stigma has made recruit-
ing players to come out for the
team an interesting experience
for current members.
I was recruiting girls to come
out for the team in an orange
dress, and they gave me the
dirtiest looks, Trevino said.
But once they saw me tackle,
they started to give me more
respect.
Despite heavy recruiting,
Trevino was disappointed with
the number of new players.
We had a good turnout, but low
numbers stayed, Trevino said.
Some of the problem is
peoples perception of the rough
nature of rugby and the number
of injuries that can happen,
Evans said.
Its easy for other womens
clubs. Maybe theyre just afraid
of getting hurt. she said.
Its very hard to recruit for
women.
However, they are very im-
pressed so far with the girls that
did show up, Trevino said.
We are a small team in num-
ber and size, but we work hard,
Trevino said. The rookies are
working hard, and its better to
have quality over quantity.
Santos added that the women
who have made the commit-
ment to the team do it because
of their love for the sport.
We have school, work, but
we make time because we love
it, and they will too if they want
to play. Santos said. It takes a
special kind of person, one that
you cant pinpoint.
Its also a great way to meet
new people as players describe
the rugby community as close-
knit.
You hate (your opponents)
on the eld, but youll probably
be hanging out with them later
tonight, Evans said. Its a fam-
ily, but a very extended family,
and we all love each other.

The Nevada volleyball team
(9-9 overall, 3-2 Western Athletic
Conference) picked up its rst
road conference victory against
Boise State, but lost the back end
of its Idaho two-step two days
later against Idaho.
The Wolf Pack started off its
road trip at Boise State (16-5, 3-3
WAC) with a 3-1 victory, marking
only the second time the Broncos
have lost at home this season.
Falling short in the rst game
33-31, the Wolf Pack won the next
three sets to come away with the
victory.
We had our rst victory (on
the road) but we also struggled
two nights later, Nevada head
coach Devin Scruggs said. We
are a team that relies a lot on
emotion and when that emotion
is not there we can struggle.
On Saturday, the Wolf Pack lost
to Idaho (9-9 overall, 4-3 WAC),
dropping its season road record
to 2-5.
The only other victory away
from the Virginia Street Gym
came in the rst game of the
season at Columbia, Mo., in the
Missouri Tournament.
Nevadas home record is 7-1,
making it one of just two one-loss
home teams in the WAC (Hawaii
is 12-1).
We have no problem being
ready and mentally prepared at
home, Scruggs said. There is
just a different mindset. They
have been able to play every
home match with high emotion
and we will continue that.
One athlete who has performed
well on the road and at home is
outside hitter Kylie Harrington.
The senior has posted at least 15
kills during the teams last four
games, helping the Wolf Pack to a
3-1 record during the span.
Kylie is our top outside hitter,
she jumps well and passes well.
Scruggs said. She has done a
very nice job overall and I would
like her to be able to see more
shots and be able to attack more
if the defense would serve her
the ball. I think she can be even
more effective.
Junior outside hitter Erin
Garvey helped the Wolf Pack get
their rst road victory, posting a
career-high 15 kills against the
Broncos.
Scruggs used her bench more in
the two conference away games
in hopes of changing the Wolf
Packs road woes. Sophomore
outside hitter Elissa Ji came off
the bench and chipped in eight
kills in the victory against Boise
State.
Its just a matter of who is play-
ing well and who is not, Scruggs
said of her bench players. It gave
a new look to the defense and
Elissa played fantastic.
For the Wolf Pack, the key to
success may be the teams ability
to let their emotions loose during
the game.
Well, the biggest things is
we need to be emotional on the
court, Scruggs said. Both Lind-
say (Baldwin) and Erin (Garvey)
were both sick. Their quietness
on the court changed the whole
look and feel in the match. To x
that its trying to have everyone
else step up.
Nevada is currently in third
place in the WAC and its next
challenge will be a home match
on Friday against the Utah State
Aggies (7-10 overall, 2-4 WAC)
followed by an away match at
second-place New Mexico State
Aggies (14-1 overall, 4-0 WAC).

The Packs shooting guide
By Mike Lingberg
Fred Harvey stands to the
side and out of the way at
the rifle teams practice. He
observes the collection of men
and women perfecting their
shooting skills behind his dark
tinted glasses.
To show his support for the
University of Nevada, Reno,
a dark gray wolf pin is stuck
proudly to the lapel of his
jacket. Harvey is a man of few
words.
Im like a guide, Harvey said.
I am here if my athletes have
questions. I point them in the
right direction.
Harvey has a slow voice that,
when asked, will tell you any-
thing you want to know about
the sport of rie.
He has, after all, been coach-
ing rie teams for about 40 years
now. His tenure at Nevada, since
the 1995-1996 season, is the only
stint he has had as an NCAA
coach. The rest of his experience
has come from the United States
Military.
His college career started with
a bachelors degree at the United
States Military Academy at West
Point in national security and
public affairs.
He then worked hard for
a masters degree at Webster
University in procurement and
materials management.
He also graduated from the
British Army Staff College along
with the U.S. Army Command
and General Staff College.
Harveys heavy military
background has taught him all
of the details that make a great
rieman breathing, the way
you position yourselfp and the
way you hold the rie.
When given the chance, he
will explain the difference be-
tween pistol and rie shooting
with gusto.
With a rie, you can take
your time aiming at the center
of the target and then pull the
trigger when you feel you have
the perfect shot, he said. But
with a pistol, its more of a gut
feeling since its so much more
difcult to aim a pistol. That
being the case, if I ran the world
of rie shooting, I would have
everyone start out with a pistol
in their hand.
Another tiny detail he has
picked up over the years is that
a heavier rie is a more reliable
rie.
Thats why the team uses
heavier ries than normal.
He has his athletes build up
their core muscles and cardio
so that they can withstand those
long minutes holding that heavy
tool in one place before they
take their shot.
Heavy ries are more reli-
able, Harvey said. You may
curse them while hauling them
for miles out on the battleeld
but when it comes down to it,
they are the difference between
life and death.
Despite his tough back-
ground, Harvey is a delight to
talk to.
Just ask Jessica Ruxton, one
of the new freshman on the
team this year.
Hes so funny, she said.
Hes a very nice guy to be
around.
Sophomore Carmen Luke
agreed.
Hes very fair and encourag-
ing to every shooter that we
have here, she said. Coach
Harvey is a players coach.

New faces leading
the way for Nevada
MENS RIFLE MENS GOLF
By Cambria Roth
Adjustment is a key com-
ponent for this years Nevada
mens golf team.
The Wolf Pack is adjusting to
new team members and a new
head coach while new players
work to nd a balance in jug-
gling school and golf with try-
ing to compete for a conference
championship.
The new players include two
freshmen, Brian Knoll and Kris-
tian Sorenson and three junior
college transfers, Gavin Kwon,
Kevin Lucas and Phillip Snow.
Despite being in his rst
year in collegiate golf, Knoll is
already revealing himself as a
major contender.
Knoll shot an even-par 72 at
the Golfweek Conference Chal-
lenge and nished his rst col-
legiate tournament in a tie for
39th earlier this season and sec-
ond for the Wolf Pack. For Knoll,
the tournament represented the
work he has put in so far.
I practice everyday, work
hard in school and stay
focused, Knoll said. I am
excited, playing really well and
I feel good about the upcoming
tournaments.
In addition to Knoll, the team
has some new faces from other
schools. Lucas transferred from
Sierra College last year .
Kevin is a very accomplished
player, head coach Jacob Wil-
ner said. He wants to succeed
really badly and is still reaching
his potential, but he is starting
to play really well as of late.
While there are new faces,
there are also accomplished
players set to lead the team with
experience.
Senior Scott Smith has been
one of Nevadas most consistent
players since he began compet-
ing for the Wolf Pack during the
2007-08 season.
Since July, Smith won the
title in the Nevada State
Amateur in Las Vegas, finished
second in the Nevada State
Match Play and recently, fin-
ished fourth at the Golfweek
Conference Challenge.
Im starting off strong this
year and Ive been hitting the
ball really well, Smith said.
Im looking to keep doing a
little better and make a few
more cuts.
Smith came in second at the
Western Athletic Conference
Championship last year and
earned rst-team All-Western
Athletic Conference honors in
2008.
Scott is denitely one of the
leaders on the team, Wilner
said. He is a great player, per-
son and student-athlete.
Smith said he has taken some
of his teammates under his
wing this year in an attempt to
get them better acclimated to
collegiate golf.
Golf lasts from September
to May, meaning players are
travelling, competing and
practicing during both semes-
ters, not just one like many
other sports.
Ive been here probably the
longest so I have tried to help the
new guys get used to the situation
and give them advice for nding
stability between golf, school,
and traveling, Smith said. Its
hard work, and I nd myself
spending all of my time off of the
golf course, on schoolwork.

VOLLEYBALL
Runner
wanted to go farther. A differ-
ence of opinion between coach
and athlete began. Instead of
enjoying her senior season,
Burgoyne found herself always
on the edge of being kicked off.
He would kick me off the team
one day, Burgoyne said. But the
next day Id be back on it.
GOING SOLO
Burgoyne had a burning
desire to do more; to run farther
distances, and to become as
competitive of a runner as she
could. Coaches were holding her
back. She wanted to show that
she could do better on her own.
When youre coached, its like
you give credit to your coach for
doing well, Burgoyne said. He
can take credit for how good his
athletes are. No one can take
credit for how good I am. I can
take credit for me. Its me doing
what I love and kicking ass all at
the same time.
Nevada showed interest in get-
ting Burgoyne to join the cross
country team, but she refused.
Burgoyne didnt just want
to avoid having a coach she
wanted to up her distance.
I didnt want to be coached
anymore, Burgoyne said. I
wanted to kick ass on my own. I
was sick of the distance. I didnt
want to do a 5-K race. I wanted
to go farther.
After discovering she was a
good bicylist, Burgoyne decided
in May to start training for a
triathlon. Two months later,
she was competing at the Don-
nor Lake Triathlon, where she
took 50th overall. Two weeks
later, Burgoyne competed at
the Pyramid Lake Triathlon.
Parker saw Burgoyne compete
at Pyramid Lake and came away
impressed.
I thought she did really well,
Parker said. Especially since she
hasnt done that many of them.
Once school started, where
Burgoyne enrolled in 12 credits,
there wasnt enough time to bike
enough to train for a triathlon.
Burgoyne decided to focus on
marathons.
She works out seven days a
week, twice a day. In the morn-
ings, she does two of three
workouts: running, swimming
and biking. Her classes begin
mid-morning and go into the
early afternoon. Then, she runs,
swims or bikes and lifts weights
from 4 to 7 p.m. before nally
going home. On Friday, what
she calls her day off, Burgoyne
goes running with her mara-
thon group in the morning and
lifts weights in the afternoons.
I feel guilty when I dont
work as hard as I should, Bur-
goyne said. When I work out,
I want to be completely dead
afterwards.
Any free time that she has is
usually spent hanging out with
friends something that Bur-
goyne believes to be imperative
to her success as a runner.
I wouldnt do it if it pre-
vented me from hanging with my
friends, Burgoyne said. Your life
cant all be just working out.
Although she wanted to
continue her running without
a coach, shes not completely
alone. Burgoyne runs with a
marathon group and takes a
PEX and swimming class at
Lombardi Recreation Center.
Felicia Gunther, a member of
Burgoynes marathon group, said
Burgoyne takes her schedule in
stride.
Shes a rockstar, Gunther
said. To carry a classload and
a part-time job, she has a good
bearing on life. She does really
well at her sports. Shes been
phenomenal. She surpassed
everybodys expectations.
FUTURE
Burgoynes immediate goal
is to qualify for the Boston
Marathon. That may sound
daunting, but, for Burgoyne,
qualifying is an expectation.
The qualifying time for the
Boston Marathon is three
hours and forty minutes. Bur-
goyne said shes shooting for
three hours and 15 minutes.
She has her eyes set on Dec.
5 when shell run her first
marathon.
With Burgoyne already hav-
ing success, Gunther said the
skys the limit for her.
Runners mature as they get
older, Gunther said. Twenty
years from now, shes going to
be off the charts.
Although Burgoyne said she
had not thought too far ahead, she
does have one long-term goal.
I want to be in the top-10 run-
ners in the nation, Burgoyne
said. There was this woman
who took second overall at San
Jose. I want to beat her one day,
you just wait. Shes 32 and shes
just peaking. Thats going to be
me.

BY THE NUMBERS
W
hen I was young,
I broke a lot of
things. Ornaments,
picture frames, dishes,
windows nothing was spared as
I bounced a basketball off of my
living room walls.
And my dad hated it. He used to
scold me not to play indoors, telling
me that every-
thing in the house
was bought with
his hard-earned
money, blah, blah,
blah. It was in one
ear, out the other
with me.
He would get
angry, but his
emotions would
wear off quickly.
But everything
changed when I
let my friend drive my rst car three
days after I bought it.
My friend totaled it. I cried.
My dad wasnt angry, though. He
was disappointed. He was disap-
pointed that I even let him drive in
the rst place. He was disappointed
because he expected more of me.
His disappointment in me hurt
more than anything Id ever felt.
This sense of disappointment
is what I felt Saturday watching
Nevada run through the motions
in its game against San Jose State.
After a performance like that, the
Wolf Pack deserves to drop out of
the national rankings altogether.
SJSU DID WHATEVER IT
WANTED ON OFFENSE
San Jose State played in the
pistol offense the entire game and
Nevadas defense looked confused,
as if the team didnt bother to watch
lm the whole week.
But hey, why bother fully prepar-
ing to play a 1-4 team that had only
scored ve touchdowns the entire
season?
The Spartans, who came in
averaging 248.6 yards on 53 plays
per game, racked up 372 yards on
73 plays. That only averages out
to 5.1 yards per play, but all that
tells me is that the Spartans were
able to consistently move the ball
and didnt gain a big chunk of their
yardage on one or two big plays.
San Jose State only had two plays of
more than 20 yards.
There were plenty of times when
Spartans quarterback Jordan La
Secla over or underthrew wide-
open receivers for touchdowns and
long gains. A good quarterback (like
Hawaiis Bryant Moniz) will make
these plays.
NEVADA PLAYED ITS WORST
GAME OF THE YEAR
One of the most ridiculous things
Ive ever seen happened in the
second quarter. The Wolf Pack had
three touchdowns called back on a
single drive due to penalties. Those
three touchdowns covered 109
yards. Two holding calls and a pass
interference nullied 18 points.
Nevadas 89 penalty yards were
the most its had in a Western
Athletic Conference game since
Nov. 12, 2005, against New Mexico
State (105 yards) a span of 34
conference games.
The Wolf Pack simply looked
disinterested and was more worried
about the way it looked instead of
the way it played. How else would
you describe a double-reverse wide
receiver pass attempt with the
game tied at 7-7 in the rst quarter
(wide receiver Brandon Wimberly
lobbed a pass to quarterback Colin
Kaepernick ,which was intercepted
in the end zone)?
THE PACK NEEDS A REALITY
CHECK
The Wolf Pack is at a point right
now where its not about if it wins,
but how it wins. Six-and-oh is
impressive, but if it comes on the
heels of a crappy win over one of
the worst teams in the nation, then
what good is it?
A game like this against average
competition will result in defeat.
Nevada lost this game. There
were no smiles after the game, no
high-ves, no slaps on the ass it
felt like a loss. The Wolf Pack should
not be nationally ranked after a
performance like that. I cant begin
to explain how shocked I was when
I saw the Pack move up two spots
this week in the AP Top 25 to No. 21.
Everyone expected more out of
Nevada. How else could you explain
more than 20,000 fans showing up
on a cold Saturday night to watch
the Wolf Pack play one of the worst
teams in the nation? The fans
wanted to see an annihilation.
Lets see if Nevada goes into
Hawaii this week and plays atly
like it did against the Spartans. I
guarantee that if the Wolf Packs
play is anything close to what
we saw Saturday, the undefeated
record is out the window. Say bye-
bye to the national attention,
Kaepernicks Heisman Trophy talk
and the fan support the team has
seen so far this season.
Nevada cannot afford to play
like this against anyone else this
season if it hopes to keep its record
unblemished.

DONTAY MOCH
DEFENSE
Nevadas defense may have
struggled as a unit against
San Jose State on Saturday,
but defensive end Dontay
Moch was one of the few
bright spots. Moch recorded
a team-high nine tackles,
including ve tackles-for-loss.
The tackles for loss put his
career total at 52, making
him the Western Athletic
Conferences all-time leader
in that category.
FOOTBALL
at Hawaii 8:30 p.m. Saturday
THE SKINNY: The Wolf Pack
continues its conference
season in Hawaii, where
history has not been kind
to the Nevada, who has not
won there since 1948. The
Warriors boast the nations
top pass attack, averaging
more than 420 yards per
game. With the two teams
averaging for more than
70 points per game, there
should be no shortage of
touchdowns. Nevada running
back Vai Taua will look to
build off his 196-yard game
against San Jose State, which
was a season-high for the
senior.
SOCCER
vs. Idaho 7 p.m. Friday
vs. Boise State 1 p.m. Saturday
THE SKINNY: The soccer
team continues its stretch
of games facing the top
teams in the Western
Athletic Conference. Nevada
is coming off a 3-1 loss to
rst-place Utah State. Now,
Nevada must prepare for the
Vandals and the Broncos, the
two teams tied for second
place in the WAC. Nevada
sits at sixth place in the
conference and is looking to
break its two-game losing
streak this weekend.
VOLLEYBALL
vs. Utah State 7 p.m. Friday
at New Mexico State 6 p.m. Sunday
THE SKINNY: Nevada plays
a home and away game this
weekend. The Wolf Pack
picked up its second road win
of the season against Boise
State on Thursday, but lost
at Idaho on Sunday. With the
WAC Tournament inching
closer and Nevada one game
behind New Mexico State
for the second seed, this
weeks games are extremely
important. If Nevada can
overtake the Aggies for
second place, it will avoid
a match up with rst-place
Hawaii in the tournament
until the championship match.
However, two losses and the
Wolf Pack could fall to the
bottom half of the conference
standings.
Senior defensive end Dontay Moch became
Nevadas and the WACs all-time leader in
tackles for a loss last week.

Nevada should not be ranked
after disappointing game
CASEY DURKIN/NEVADA SAGEBRUSH
Running back Mike Ball helped Nevada to a 35-13 victory against San Jose State. The Wolf Pack failed to meet
expectations though, giving up 372 yards of total offense to a team that averaged 248 yards before the game.

Beasts of the week
DONTAY MOCH
Moch led the team in tackles
with nine and tackles for loss
with ve against San Jose State.
The ve tackles for loss gave
him the all-time record for that category in
Nevada history and Western Athletic Confer-
ence history. Moch has 52 career tackles for
loss and 24.5 sacks. He was named the WAC
Defensive Player of the Year in 2009, the rst
time a Wolf Pack member has earned that
award, and was named to the Bronko Nagur-
ski Award watch list, which is given to the top
defensive player in the nation each year.
VAI TAUA
Taua ran for 196 yards and three
touchdowns against San Jose
State last week, helping Nevada
to a 35-13 win. Taua leads the
Wolf Pack and the Western Athletic Confer-
ence in rushing yards this season with 827.
He is sixth overall in the nation in rushing
yards per game and is third overall in the na-
tion in net yards rushing. For his career, Taua
has racked up more than 3,800 yards rushing
with 36 rushing touchdowns.
KYLIE HARRINGTON
Harrington, a senior on the Ne-
vada volleyball team, notched 17
kills in a losing effort at Idaho on
Saturday as the Wolf Pack lost
3-1 and snapped a three-game winning streak.
Harringtons 17 kills tied a season high for her.
She had 17 kills at home against Fresno State
and at home against Notre Dame. She leads
the team in kills this season with 216 and also
leads in serve aces with 16. For her career at
Nevada, Harrington has more than 1,000 kills
and almost 1,200 points.
ERIN GARVEY
In Nevadas win against Boise
State on Thursday, Garvey tied
with Harrington for the most kills
in the match with 15 but had two
errors. That gave her team leading .481 at-
tack percentage in the match. The 15 kills is a
season-high for the senior. Her previous high
was 10 which she has tallied in four matches
this season.
CHRIS PLAPPERT
Plappert, a senior on the Nevada
mens golf team, nished second
in the Wolf Pack Classic early
this week that was shortened
to two rounds instead of three due to rain.
Plappert shot a 67 to tie for rst after the rst
round and shot a 72 to fall to second by two
strokes. This was the best nish of his colle-
giate career. His previous best nish was sixth
at the Fresno State-Nevada Challenge in the
2007-08 season.

Quarterback Colin Kaepernick
By Lukas Eggen
Not many teams would be
angry with a 22-point victory to
open up its conference season.
or be disappointed with an of-
fense that gained 640 yards.
But after Nevadas 35-13
victory against San Jose State,
the Wolf Pack (6-0 overall, 1-0
Western Athletic Conference)
was more than disappointed
with the effort.
Despite picking up the win
and moving to No. 19 and 21 in
the AP Top-25 and USA Today/
ESPN Top-25 polls, Nevada
showed cracks on the offensive
side of the ball.
While Nevadas offense racked
up more than 600 yards of
offense against the Spartans,
turnovers were once again a
problem.
The Wolf Pack threw two
interceptions one each by
quarterback Colin Kaepernick
and wide receiver Brandon
Wimberly. The turnovers con-
tinued a recent trend of the Wolf
Pack giving opponents extra
possessions.
Nevada has committed nine
turnovers for the season, but
eight of those turnovers have
come in the teams last three
games against Brigham Young,
the University of Nevada, Las
Vegas and San Jose State.
For players, the past few
games have served as a wake-up
call for the team to get refocused
on its efforts.
You make that a focus point in
everything we do, running back
Vai Taua said. If you hold the
ball, dont put it on the ground.
For wide receivers, catch every-
thing that hits your hands.

havent kept it from winning,

Swimmer competed at 1996, 2000 Olympics
By Lukas Eggen
Nevadas swimming and diving team has experienced recent success, winning three conference champion-
ships in a row (2007-2009). But perhaps no swimmer has accomplished more than Limin Liu did when she swam
for the Nevada swim team (1998-2000).
The only swimmer to be inducted into this years Hall of Fame class, Liu was one of the best in the nation. She
won three NCAA individual championships: the 200 buttery in 1999 and the 100 and 200 buttery in 2000. While
she was excited about her accomplishments, it wasnt because she was excited for herself. She was excited about
helping Nevadas program.
I felt fantastic, Liu said. I was extremely excited and very happy that I could make a contribution to my school.
Liu holds the Big West Conference records for the 100 and 200 y and was a three-time All-American.
In addition, Liu competed in the 1996 and 2000 Olympics for China. Liu won a silver medal in the 100 y in 1996.
Liu is one of six athletes being inducted into the Hall of Fame this year, an honor Liu said brings back memories of her
time with the Wolf Pack.
I feel very lucky and very proud, Liu said. It makes me remember my wonderful teammates and terric coaches.

to the
dome
This week, Nevada students
who met for the rst time in
the dorms, long-time friends
and casual acquaintances will
compete in championship
tournaments for ag football,
3-on-3 basketball and indoor
soccer.
The championships, along
with the season it took to get
there, will create a myriad of
unforgettable stories.
I know.
I have one.
As I
tailgated
Saturday
in the East
parking lot
off Evans
Street before
the San Jose
State game,
my friend
Blaine Baker
pointed at
me and said:
Remember when (former
Nevada quarterback) Jeff
Rowe hit you with his shoe?
Three slightly inebriated
friends laughed, as those not
present for the 2005 dodge
ball championships looked in
peculiar awe.
It was necessary to tell an
intramural sports classic:
(Insert blurring fade out
here).
Oh, 2005.
President George Bush had
just entered his second term
in ofce and Fergie enlight-
ened us with My Humps.
I, unlike Fergies inuential
lyricism, was more nave than
a missionary knocking on
Stephen Hawkings door.
I drank an occasional
Smirnoff Ice, thought ev-
eryone was interested in my
political views and expected
college to be a four-year
experience.
Oh, how silly was I?
But I lucked out. I lived
on the seventh oor of Nye
Hall a place so conducive
to establishing cohesion that
it made making friends as
easy as going to class was
obnoxious.
Our oor became an
unofcial fraternity, which
gave rise to our participation
in intramural sports.
We won the Frozen Five
B-league ag football champi-
onship that school year and
had competitive teams in
basketball and softball but
we dominated in dodgeball.
Our mix of power and speed
propelled us to the seminals
of the tournament when we
ran into the athletes team.
Thats when I met Rowe.
Rowe was the original
Nevada pistol offense quarter-
back. He ranks fth in school
history in total offense (8,423
yards), eighth in passing
touchdowns (54) and led
Nevada to its only Western
Athletic Conference champi-
onship in 2005.
I was nothing more than a
punk kid who liked to party,
but we were equals on the
dodge ball court.
For some reason, Rowe and
his jock friends were nothing
compared to the seventh
oor.
They were bigger, more
athletic and probably set
to go to a much nicer party
that night than we were, but
it didnt matter we were
crushing them.
To clinch the victory, our
team hoarded the balls in the
nal game, leaving one ball
Nevada freshman Sarah Burgoyne has competed in two triathlon and one half-marathon. She hopes to qualify for next years Boston Marathon.
Freshman going the distance
By Lukas Eggen
When freshman Sarah Burgoyne stood at the start-
ing line of the Rock n Roll San Jose Half Marathon on
Oct. 3, she wasnt nervous. Yes, this was her rst half
marathon. Yes, she didnt know the course. But she did
know she was ready to compete.
Burgoyne nished fth in the 18-to-24-year-old age
group and 305th overall out of 13,000 participants. In
a sport where most runners reach their peaks in their
late 20s or early 30s, the 18-year-old Burgoynes future
is very bright and shes doing it on her own.
BEGINNINGS
In high school, all Burgoyne wanted to do was join
a sport. She picked cross country. But what started
simply as trying to t in became something more.
Burgoyne helped Reno High School win the Nevada
State Championship in cross country and track and
eld in 2006.
One of her former high school coaches, Jim Parker,
remembers she possessed one trait that gave her an
edge determination.
Shes very determined once she decides she wants
to do something, Parker said. She gives 100 percent
and is not afraid to try new things.
But Burgoyne felt she wasnt being pushed enough.
The teams longest runs were nine miles and she
Freshman Sarah Burgoyne
took 305th overall out of
13,000 participants at the
Rockn Roll San Jose Half
Marathon.
Burgoyne trains twice a
day, seven days a week and is
taking 12 credits.
After running cross country
in high school, Burgoyne de-
cided to run without a team.

On personal style: My
style kind of changes
on how I feel. Its
continuously changing. I
like to take what I see in
mainstream and make it
my own, so I would say
my style is very urban
contemporary style
with traces of my own
personal style.
Favorite store: I love
Macys and Dillards
because I like Polo and
Nautica. They have
clothes that I like for
every possible situation;
I could get a shirt for
a wedding or a party.
Those stores have every
element that is my style
in one place.
Favorite trend: I like
the leather jacket. It was
sick.
SAMANTHA TOLKIEN | PHOTOGRAPHY, 19
On personal style: I dont follow trends, I just wear whatever I like, but it just usually ends up being somewhat
trendy. I wear a lot of loose tting shirts and tight pants. My style is comfortable, fashionable and classy.
Favorite store: I love shopping at Forever 21 , Urban Outtters and Platos Closet because I can always nd some-
thing I like at those stores at a pretty good price.
Favorite trend: The leather jacket with the skinny jeans was my favorite outt because its denitely something I
would wear normally. Leather jackets are my favorite trends because I feel comfortable in the style. I wore (a leath-
er jacket) last season as well and its really cute.
On personal style: I dont really have a style.
My style is more modern and relaxed, not so
ashy. My wardrobe is random; I dont really
have a set style. (I wear) what Im in the mood
for.
Favorite store: I do a lot of online shopping.
I like Forever 21, Bebe, Express and Wealth
Culture.
Favorite trend: I like the military jacket with
the fur. Its very laid back and not too ashy
and it was really warm. (My favorite trend
is) military-inspired because it is classy and
looks good.

Reno from South Africa to star
in an MGM Grand production
of Hello Hollywood Hello.
Although she was supposed
to remain in town for only six
months, she met the shows
lighting director on the rst
night of performances and fell in
love. Haleigh was born about the
same time Guest-Hoff opened
up her rst dance studio.
As soon as she was able to
walk, Hoffs mother involved
her in dance.
Ive had a pretty big career
for someone my age in Reno,
she said.
Hoff, who was voted class
clown at Reno High School,
said that her dance experience
has enabled her to be more
outgoing.
I always got in trouble for be-
ing loud and obnoxious at dance
as well as school, she said. I
sort of live by the expression,
Dance like nobody is watching.
Its something we teach our
students, too dont care so
much what the audience thinks.
Its kind of shaped me.
Hoff plans to make a career
out of dancing by heading to
Los Angeles and auditioning for
shows. However, she eventually
plans to return to Reno to take
over her mothers dance studio.
Im in school for a reason,
she said. Its not the most
promising career choice. My
mom was lucky that she got a
studio and that its a successful
studio. Our only career choices
are being dancers in Las Vegas
or in some weird circus show.
Its hard.
Hoff said while Reno provides
few professional opportunities
for dancers, it is a great place for
students to start out.
Its denitely grown a lot, she
said. There are a lot of studios
in Reno. Its not as big as other
big cities like Las Vegas or San
Francisco, but a lot of people
sprout out of here to do other
professional stuff.

Funny Story
CONTINUED FROM PAGE B7
At times, the lm seems to
belittle the mental problems
of its characters, particularly
in a scene where one of Craigs
romantic interests tells him how
mature he is for being really
messed up. But the lm also
addresses the universality of
depression when Craigs friends
reveal that they, too, have ex-
perienced deep sadness, doubt
and apathy.
In fact, it is only by being
surrounded by others with
problems equal to or greater
than his own that Craig learns
to appreciate what he does
have and search for the reasons
behind his depression. Craigs
friendship with fellow patient
Bobby (Zach Galianakis, The
Hangover), in one of the lms
standout roles, helps him real-
ize the importance of making
the most of the better parts of
his life.
In fact, Bobby seems to be a
representation of what would
happen to Craig or perhaps
to anyone if he were never to
learn how to heal. In that regard,
the lm sends out a powerful
message: All of us have mental
problems, but it is in recogniz-
ing them that we overcome
them and survive.
One of the highlights of the lm
is its trip into Craigs imagination,
projecting his dreams, memories,
and anxieties into visual form,
giving viewers a better sense of
who he truly is and what he keeps
inside his head. Without them,
neither Craigs personality nor his
hope for health and happiness
could ever translate to the lms
audience.
Overall, the lm boldly takes
on teenage and adult issues,
portraying them in a way that
uncovers their inevitability and
our hope for overcoming them.
The lm leaves many parts of
the ending ambiguous, touch-
ing just enough on the tension
between sadness and happiness
for its viewers to consider it kind
of a funny story.

bridge, chorus and simple
lyrics in between. While it is
certainly logical to follow the
style of her genre, there is also
room for experimentation that
Tunstall seems afraid to make
use of. For that reason, when
considered in its entirety, the
album is easy to misplace in
the swell of other female pop
stars in the world.
In spite of some of its ho-
mogenous pop song tracks,
the album does provide a few
catchy and meaningful songs,
and therefore is worth one
listen, especially for fans of
Tunstall.
KT Tunstall will perform at the
Knitting Factory in Reno on Nov.
7 at 8 p.m. Tickets range from
$18.50-$45.

By Leanne Howard
With the release of her third
studio album, Tiger Suit,
Scottish singer-songwriter KT
Tunstall puts out more of her
usual fast-paced, clap-lled
melodies this time adding
a ghostly twist that gives her
somewhat more maturity than
most in her pop genre.
Tunstalls signature husky
voice shines through on this
album, and though she denies
similarities between her own
singing and fellow Brit Didos,
the congruity is hard to ignore,
especially on the albums rst
UK single (Still A) Weirdo.
Optimistic/But not quite
elegant/Still a weirdo after
all these years, she sings, ac-
companied by a strangely mel-
ancholy guitar-and-whistling
combination.
This is only one of the many
songs on the album that seems
to be addressing a feeling of
nostalgia for what might have
been. Tunstall compares the
past to the present with the
sort of self-reection that one
would expect from a musician
well into her third studio pro-
duction.
Another track that shines
through off the album is Push
That Knot Away, a bass and
percussion driven number
that carries on the theme of
self-knowledge, only this time
as a hopeful message to others.
Tunstall succeeds in combin-
ing her soulful vocals with a
fast electronic beat that brings
out a bold new style of song for
her.
The album begins with a
Coldplay-like string of upbeat
acoustic tracks, culminating
with Fade Like A Shadow, the
rst U.S. single. Its easy saying
nothing when theres nothing
to say, Tunstall sings, and yet
she seems to have so much
that shes trying to say on the
album trying, and not always
succeeding, for in spite of all
her soul-searching, the album
as a whole seems to fall short of
its potential.
With some exceptions, most
tracks fall too closely in line
with the typical pop song
combination verse, chorus,
By Jerri Cuerden
The name Wes Craven is
popularly associated with hor-
ror movies that have stood the
test of time. Films such as A
Nightmare on Elm Street and
the original Last House on the
Left have terried generations
with their horrifying villains and
mind-bending plot twists.
However, like all good things,
it appears that Cravens reign of
terror has nally come to an end
with his newest lm, My Soul to
Take.
This awful excuse for a horror
film opens the way that most
do: On a dark stormy night in
the small town of Riverton,
which is being terrorized by
a psychotic serial killer called
the Riverton Ripper. While the
police search for the killer,
Abel (Raul Esparaza, Find Me
Guilty), a quiet family man,
discovers a terrible secret
that he is the Riverton Ripper!
Crazed by his discovery, Abel
slays his pregnant wife before
the police are able to subdue
him.
The police attempt to trans-
port the killer to the hospital but
the ambulance crashes, and he
escapes the scene, eeing into
the river. At the same time, the
hospital is overrun with seven
premature births, causing chaos
in the maternity ward, and creat-
ing a silver lining for an evening
of horror.
The timeline of the film then
jumps forward 16 years, where
a group of high school students
stand by the rusty remnants
of the wrecked ambulance at
midnight on the anniversary of
the crash. The students, known
as the Riverton Seven, were
all born on the night of the
accident and celebrate their
collective birthdays by gather-
ing to taunt the spirit of the
Ripper. When the traditional
ritual goes awry, the group is
faced with their worst fears
as it appears that the Ripper
is coming to reclaim his spirit
and kill them one by one.
Through the rest of the lm,
the audience is subjected to
unconvincing fear and anticli-
mactic killings that one might
expect from a 90s horror lm,
and after an hour, the plot just
becomes unbearably boring.
The characters are one-di-
mensional and bland, making
it almost impossible to care
about their grisly murders.
And to top it all off is the fact
that the plot is at points so
convoluted and full of holes
that viewers are more likely to
just tune out and make a men-
tal shopping list than actually
attempt to work out what just
happened.
Why My Soul to Take was
released in 3-D is about as big
of a mystery as why the lm was
released in theaters in the rst
place. Apart from the liberal use
of three-dimensional swirling
fog throughout the duration of
the movie, it was almost impos-
sible to tell that the effect was
even there.
Overall, anyone looking for
a decent horror lm to fulll
their pre-Halloween fright needs
should avoid My Soul to Take
and save the money for some-
thing actually scary.

Its Kind of a Funny Story centers around a group of patients in a psychiatric hospital.
By Leanne Howard
Rarely are movies as aptly
named as Its Kind of a Funny
Story, a recently released
coming-of-age lm based off the
novel of the same title by Ned
Vizzini. The title, with particular
emphasis on kind of, does a
pretty good job of summarizing
the movie in six short words.
Almost all of the central ac-
tion of the lm takes place in the
psychiatric wing of a hospital,
where depressed and suicidal
teen Craig Gilner (Keir Gilchrist,
Dead Silence) checks himself
in for treatment. The people
that surround him, the main
cast of characters in the lm,
are all dealing with their own
personal weaknesses some
more extreme than others in
a poignant representation of the
world at large everyone is just
a little bit crazy.

Photos of Haleigh Hoff, a 20-year-
old journalism major, line the walls
of Nevada Dance Academy on
Fourth Street. Photos of her as a tod-
dler in a tutu transition into photos
of her as a teenager decked out in
costumes from local dance recitals.
Her dance knowledge ranges from
classical to contemporary, though
hip-hop is her favorite style.
I really enjoy hip-hop, she said.
I like to break it down. Its more
free-spirited, fun and aggressive,
like me. Im trained in ballet, but
I nd classical a little boring. Hip-
hop is my thing.
Her myriad of accomplishments
include appearing in 15 produc-
tions of The Nutcracker, compet-
ing in more than 80 regional and
national dance competitions and
teaching her own dance classes for
six years, giving her a wealth of dif-
ferent dance experiences.
There was one tap solo I had
when I was nine, she said. It
was the best solo Id had. Id been
working on it for two years and I
had earned my way to the top of
a competition. It was a buttery
dance, so I was decked out in this
full buttery costume with wings
attached to my legs. When the fast
part started, I just froze. I made a re-
ally weird face and pulled the wings
off my costume and then I just went
back into the dance. I still ranked
high in the competition because
the judges thought it was the weird-
est and funniest thing theyd seen,
that I came back into the dance so
strong.
Hoff, whose mother owns the stu-
dio, has danced since she was two
years old, and plans to continue
pursuing dance throughout her
life.
Basically, I was born into dance
and didnt really have a choice,
she said. My mom owns a studio
and my dad works in the studio. I
went through phases where I was
not into it at all and tried to rebel
against my parents by doing things
like sports. But I have to admit that
Ive always really loved it. Its a huge
commitment, but Im glad I stuck
with it.

Dance Academy and is one of the

In a city that was once home to numerous stage and casino shows, op-
portunities for professional dancers have recently been dwindling in Reno.
However, members of local dance troupes and the University of Nevada,
Reno dance community are striving to give dance more prominence in the
local art scene.
Dance has never enjoyed the same visibility and status in America as other
art forms visual art, music and theater, said Cari Cunningham, a professor of
modern dance at UNR. It is here and then gone, leaving very little in the way of
a physical record no script, no score, nothing to put in a frame and hang on a
wall. This is what makes dance special, in my opinion, but it is also a major hurdle
in terms of visibility.
Barbara Land, a UNR dance professor, said that very few prospects exist for student
dancers to begin careers in Reno.
In the olden days, with the old Vegas shows, every casino would have a dance
show, she said. They dont have any more old showroom casino shows. Those days
are gone, probably because of the economy and gaming. If they dont have gamblers,
they wont have shows and entertainment.
While chances to dance professionally in town are diminishing, local dance studios
and the UNR dance program are continuing to grow in popularity. Many attribute this
growth to exposure brought by TV shows such as So You Think You Can Dance and
Dancing with the Stars.
Each of these groups hopes to draw more attention to the art of dance in order to
create new opportunities for dancers, eventually turning around the local scene.
It would be naive and dishonest of me to say that there are a wealth of oppor-
tunities to be a professional concert dance artist, either here in Reno or in the
country as a whole, Cunningham said. However, I rmly believe that a
liberal arts education in dance is one that provides students with the
skills to turn their passion into a career.
Cunningham said one of her main objectives is to establish a
dance festival in Reno that would draw dancers and spectators
from around the nation.
It is a future goal of mine to create some sort of dance festival
here in Reno where local and national artists in concert dance
could have an arena for performing, presenting work and gener-
ating dialogue on the eld of dance, she said. Of course, that is a
long-term goal. In the meantime, I keep encouraging my students
to seek out opportunities to perform and choreograph.
Land said that one of the projects the dance department has
been focusing on for the past year and a half is a world-premiere
ballet called Shanghaied. The performance will be a collaboration
between all of the departments of art, originating with paintings
by a recent UNR graduate that have been choreographed by the dance
department. The performance will debut in mid-November.
Its going to be amazing, Land said. We have a very strong dance pro-
gram. Its a little program that does a lot.
Other outlets for dance, both professionally and recreationally, include many
of the citys local dance studios.
Pat Ehlers, one of the co-owners of Never Enough Ballroom, has been in the
dance business for more than 30 years. While she says that she has seen an increase
in interest in dance recently, she would like to see Reno take further steps towards
becoming a welcoming home to dancers.
We dont have a major competition here, she said. We need to bring a sanctioned
dance competition. Wed have to nd someone with the nancial backing. It would
take about $100,000, but it would make a good event.
Regardless of the difcult job market, local dancers are still pursuing their pas-
sion.
Its fun, and its good exercise, Ehlers said. Its just a ball.
